and Jun’s like “what. what was that about”

“oh nothing”

there’s a silence

and Jun’s like “…what’s going on”

“nothing, nothing!”

“what are you thinking”

and he glares at them until josh breaks and he’s like

“I’M SORRY we were just wondering if you were gonna say anything to her”

Jun frowns in genuine confusion like “what do you mean?”

and josh is all like “well. You know. About liking her”

“what”

“what”

everyone is quiet

And then Minghao’s like “so. Do you like her?”

and Jun’s like “pft no we’re just good friends”

and Minghao’s like “yeah right”

Jun is Offended he’s like eXCUSE ME what are you implying

“I’m just saying… like. You’re so stressed about this, you know?”

“i… just want my friend to have a good birthday?”

and Josh is like “not to be that guy but like… you’ve been really enthusiastic about this. like you’re doing all this special stuff. Like. flowers. a nice restaurant. the sort of stuff that, if I were her, i’d think it was a date.”

“it’s not a date”

another knowing look

“sTOP DOING THAT”

Josh and minghao are like “oh sorry sorry  it’s just. So obvious dude.”

and jun is having an existential crisis like !?!?!?!!?!?!?!

so he goes home afterwards and he’s sitting there trying to write your card

and he’s like??? blanking??? or not blanking

it’s just that when he writes anything down it just sounds s o o o cheesy

like he’s cringing at himself

and he’s like “why am i like this???”

“maybe… maybe they’re right? no, no, no, i’m just… there’s a lot of feelings i need to express, you know? not those types of feelings, just… totally platonic ones…”

even though he manages to convince himself it’s Just A Lot Of Platonic Feelings, he still knows there’s something off about it bc. he’s Jun. he’s always so affirming with his loved ones

but now he had to write a letter to you and he’s??? nervous??

and he’s like wHY so he decides to just write something down without thinking about it or looking at it and then he’s like iM GOING TO BED

so it’s the next day and Jun is waiting for you outside your house and he’s like. Really nervous

he’s gotten dressed up and he’s like “what if she thinks I’m ugly what if she thinks I look like a Fool”

and then he’s like “… maybe Josh and Minghao are right…” but he’s like “nO that’s insane she’s just my friend we’ve been friends for aaaages I’m being silly i worked it out last night”

but then

bUT THEN

he sees you come out of her house and you’re dressed up and he’s like

‘mY HEART"

and like he’s just standing there with the flowers and he’s floored and he’s like I cANT BREATHE

“well shit looks like I do have a crush on her”

ao he’s trying to process all of this but then you smile at him and he like. He literally Dies. He can’t take it

so he doesn’t even wish you a happy birthday he just sort of shoves the flowers forward like “hERE”

and you’re like !!!!!!!!!! bc they’re your favourite flowers and you’re like tHANK YOU SM

and he’s sweating he’s so nervous bc he’s like. Still processing the Truth and he’s like. “all my behaviour. All my feelings. They make sense now”

and you’re talking to him about something and he’s like sHIT I WASN’T LISTENING 

so he just smiles at you handsomely and you start blushing bc he has such a nice, warm smile and he’s dressed up so nicely and it’s like? but you’re like no i can’t think about him like that it’s unfair on him

truth of the matter is that you’ve had a bit of a crush on him for a while now but like. you feel bad about it bc you guys are good friends 

so you’ve just tried to push it away but how can you when he looks so damn good? 

but you’ve become really good at hiding it so you’re just like “hey! i’ve missed you!” and you go in for a hug

and he’s still screaming internally but he hugs you and he’s thinks “i have NO idea how i’m going to survive today why did i do this”

so he gives you your flowers and your gift but he keeps the letter to himself bc he’s like No i will be Exposed

the two of you head off to the restaurant, which is Jun’s big treat for you

it’s one you’ve wanted to go to for a long time and it’s a bit on the expensive sid

and it’s like this lovely restaurant and the people there all look so classy and beautiful and jun can’t help but think that you fit in there

so the two of you are seated and you’re both really excited bc !!! this is a cool experience

and waitress is like “oh is this an anniversary dinner??”

and Jun freaks and he’s like “NO NO NO it’s a birthday”

and the waitress is like “oh it’s sweet that you’re treating your partner like this on their birthday”

and Jun is like !!?!?!!??? “we’re not.. We’re”

but the waitress is GONE and jun is just. A mess inside

he’s doing a pretty good job of keeping it together externally tho

and he’s like. Asking you questions and trying to make you laugh bc he thinks your smile is a genuine blessing

and he can’t help but think about how happy he is to be a part of your life and he’s just

so enamored

like it’s actually kind of embarrassing but you haven’t noticed yet so it’s fine 

and so he’s like oKAY here’s a letter i wrote you for your birthday sorry it’s trash i just. kind of banged it out in one go

and you’re like “oh thank you!”

and you think it’s just going to be one big Meme 

but you read it and it’s just so heartfelt? and you actually start tearing up because you weren’t expecting it to be this so genuine?

so you don’t really know what to do and you just say a really quiet thank you

and jun thinks you found it weird and he wants to disappear but tHANKFULLY your food comes and you two engross yourselves in that

you only really make polite conversation over dinner and you’re both very scared and confused

so when you’re walking home, you try and make some conversation with him but he’s just. out of it

and you’re kind of concerned because you were just blown away by his letter and you hadn’t known how to respond? 

so you’re just like i gotta know if he’s okay

and you ask him what’s wrong

and he’s like fUCK IT I GOTTA DEAL WITH THIS SOMEDAY ANYWAY

he turns and looks at you and he says “I think I’m in love with you”

you’re just like “what”

and he’s like “yeah”

and you’re like “I'm…”

and he’s like “yeah me too”

and the two of you fall silent bc of shock

and he’s like “I’m sorry… for being so forward… I was just thinking about our friendship and like… recently, I’ve been feeling a certain type of way and I was always like 'nah it’s nothing’ but it was definitely something like… I never used to be nervous around you but recently I’ve always been like… worried what you think of me… and being with you makes me really happy and i?? I just sort of ignored it bc it was easy but like… it’s the truth…”

and she’s silent for a few moments and jun is starting to freak out bc hE’S RUINED EVERYTHING

but then she says “you know what… it’s been the same for me”

“wait really”

“yea… like I was thinking abt you differently and I felt so bad bc I thought it was unfair on you so I just… suppressed my feelings and prayed they’d go away”

and he’s reeling bc. this is not what he thought would happen. he had braced himself for rejection 

he’s just so happy that he takes you in his arms and he presses a gentle kiss against your forehead

and it just feels so natural and so comfortable and you’re both like ????? why did it take us this long ?????

and you look up at him and you thank him sincerely for his letter and the two of you just sort of look into each others eyes and you realise you’re standing under a street lamp and it’s so cheesy but you don’t care 

he takes the plunge and he leans down and kisses you

and you’re like !!!!!!!!!!! but you kiss him back and melt into him

and he’s like why didn’t i do this sooner holy shit

and when you pull away you both just. can’t stop smiling and it’s the cutest thing ever okay

afterwards you’re just so blushy and shy and you hold hands while he walks you home

and when you get to your door he kisses you again and wishes you a happy birthday

Seventeen: WonwooMeeting: Sunday morning at a free pottery class. It was something new and something your friend was working at so you wanted to be supportive.Initial Impression: Wonwoo likes your laugh and thinks you’re much more clever than him because the things you laugh at are often comments and remarks that he doesn’t find humour in, assumes you catch onto things quickly.Second Impression: Wonwoo knows you’d rather be asleep or resting, it’s 9.30am after all, but you keep enthusiastic and work on your pottery.

Interaction: Wonwoo asks for your help with the spinning wheel even though he’s been attending pottery class for three years

night time DMCs (deep meaningful conversations); yellow early autumn leaves; velvet blue; studying philosophy; boppin’ to bops lol; sitting at opposite ends of the library to help each other study without distraction; always making sure the other has had meals/enough water; matching shoes on accident; standing shoulder to shoulder; the sound of fresh whipped cream out of the can.

Your personalities go together like butter on toast (sorry if you don’t like butter - or toast). Personally, I view Wonwoo as someone who prefers to stay in their comfort zone. Based on the personality of those he’s said he got along with best - Woozi, Hoshi, Mingyu - I can picture you and Wonwoo. You are someone who seems to have a liberal (? is this even the right word for it?? idk im sorry its 2 am …) viewpoint on things. You have a refreshing but warm personality which is perfectly what Wonwoo needs to take more risks and would be constantly inspired by each other.

AAAH IMSORRY THIS WAS SO BAD OMGHHAHAHAH but also sincerely sorry :((

BTS: Hoseok

Meeting: Watching a pool game at a restaurant - you know those kinds, with pool tables and arcades and a bar and such to entertain. You’re friends wanted to play and also see if cuties were lurking.

Initial Impression: Hoeseok in a string of thoughts: Why are they standing to the side?? Why aren’t they playing?? Why are they talking about politics?? WhEN POoL iS tHE gREaTeST GAmE hUH

Second Impression: Hoseok learns eavesdrops that you don’t know how to play pool. And that you are very considerate of your friends.

Interaction: Offers to teach you, but you politely decline. He spends the rest of the night trying to catch your attention but doesn’t until the bar closes. You tell your friends to wait for you outside as you quickly use the bathroom when you come out you see Hoseok helping the staff by delivering everyone’s plates to the kitchen without needing to, striking up smooth conversations.

white sheets in the morning sun; low-quality photos; yellow smiley faces; oversized hoodies; riding the bus or walking instead of by car; buying snacks at gas stations; drinking ice cold water when you’re parched; trying to teach each other things like dance, humanities and pool; being emotionally available.
