tagged by @pinkrosesandblackthorns this is really cool so thanks for tagging me!

this lined up perfectly. it’s dialogue, so the sentences are short. it’s not really clear what the conversation is about, but it’s intriguing (in my opinion at least).

Dongmin stops in his tracks. "We don't know any better than you do."

Bin frowns. "I shouldn't push."

"It's fine." Dongmin cracks a smile. "I know you're eager."

As the crew of the KCS Ambition delve ever deeper into the secrets of the multi-system corporation known as the Kyklos Syndicate, their chances for running into danger are rampant. Jinwoo needs to keep the crew following orders. Bin needs to keep his eyes on the goal. Sanha needs to prove that he’s as strong as the others. They’ve already broken the rules once and there are plenty of chances to do the same again.

Chapter 1: Solar System

kissing rocky would include...

soft kisses, always. literally gives the gentlest kisses ever. cheek kisses feel like eyelashes on your skin. also, really gentle forehead kisses that last a bit longer than they maybe should. (but you wouldn’t mind... who would?)

he likes to hug you from behind and try to kiss you. depending on your height/how you’re positioned, this could either be really sweet and soft or it could dissolve into giggles. a good thing either way because you either get a sweet kiss on/near your ear (or just below your lobe, high up on your neck, or on your nape) or you get to hear rocky giggling really close to your ear. it’s a win-win.

holds your hands while you kiss. it doesn’t matter if you’re standing, sitting, if he’s leaning over something to kiss you— he’s gonna hold ur dang hand. he’s probably also gonna run his thumb over your fingers while you kiss. yeah. he’s real soft when you kiss.

he doesn’t get shy kissing you in public. if he wants a kiss and the other members are around, he’s gonna get that dang kiss. he always grins after, too, like he’s just finished running a marathon and came in first. it can be a little embarrassing sometimes because he’ll kiss you at times that aren’t really appropriate (in the middle of a conversation with someone else, for example), but he doesn’t care. he’s gonna get a kiss if he wants it. the guys probably sigh in mild annoyance the first few times he does this but eventually they just stop caring and keep talking when rocky kisses you.

nose. kisses. sometimes he’ll feel silly and plop a kiss on your nose. if you wear glasses, he pouts before he kisses your nose because he knows there’s the possibility he’ll smudge or fog up your glasses. (but you don’t mind. who would?) expect a lot of these.

also expect a lot of near-kisses. he likes to give you kisses in passing a lot, so he’ll grab your hand (or he’ll grab you by your waist if he really wants your attention) and he’ll press a kiss wherever is closest. results in kisses on the corners of your lips and chin a lot before he runs off to do whatever it is he needs to do.

if he’s feeling particularly sweet and lovey, he’ll hold one of your hands and the other hand will be on your waist. you won’t really stand super close but he makes it very well known that he enjoys your attention (and kisses).

will sometimes stop in the middle of a sentence to plant one on you. just stops right in the middle of a funny story and kisses you on the forehead or nose. when he wants that kiss, he’s gonna get it.

if it’s been a while since you’ve hung out, he’s gonna really miss you. which means his kisses end up being a little more when you finally get to see each other again.

will wrap his arms around your waist and tug you close and— he doesn’t do this very often (usually it’s sweet, short kisses) but boy when he does get into it—

he’s a phenomenal kisser. he’s good at everything else, why wouldn’t he be good at this, too? even if you bump noses at first, and even if he gets a little to excited, it’s still really sweet.

sometimes gives you rapid kisses over and over. it’s a real big tease because you just want to kiss him, but he’ll play with you for a while before really kissing you, holding your hand the whole time.

when he finally does give in, you’ll be able to feel him smiling as you kiss. (and you won’t see it, because your eyes will be closed, but his little dimple will come out and to anybody that happens to see you guys— they’re gonna melt from how disgustingly sweet it is.)

part 1

jinwoo and bin returning to their apartment after their wedding

exhausted, feet dragging, and both of them slightly tipsy from the wine

and bin draws jinwoo into his chest by grabbing the front of his tuxedo jacket, ignoring jinwoo’s whine of protest

and bin tilts jinwoo’s jaw up to plant a kiss gently on his lips

and jinwoo hums softly against bin’s kiss, arms looping around bin’s broad shoulders

jinwoo: we should sleep. we both have things to do tomorrow

bin: not yet. let me bask in this post-wedding glow for a little longer

so jinwoo tugs bin to the couch, falling onto the plush cushions unceremoniously

and bin flops down beside him, immediately curling against jinwoo, arms wrapping around shoulders and legs twisting to be more comfortable

and they stay like that until the rain comes, the rain they’d been dodging all day

and when the rain comes, jinwoo kisses bin softly and pulls away

bin doesn’t move, watching jinwoo cross the room and disappear down their short hall

he comes back with clothes, ordering bin to change, before disappearing again

and when jinwoo returns, they’re both in their pajamas, tuxedoes and socks and shoes strewn in different parts of their home

and bin lays on the couch, pulling jinwoo against his chest

part 2

bin and jinwoo have been dating for 3 years

and they’ve been living together for about 5 months

they’re still very much in the honeymoon stage of their relationship, but things are starting to settle down

jinwoo comes home from work one day to find bin sitting on the floor near the floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room

he was very quiet when he entered, so bin doesn’t notice him right away

so jinwoo stands there quietly

just watching bin, wearing loose shorts and a bright yellow shirt, plucking away on a ukulele jinwoo didn’t even know he had

he misses a few chords and sighs every time, starting his song over again

jinwoo: binnie?

bin immediately gets to his feet, holding the ukulele behind his back

bin: JINWOO you’re back early?

jinwoo: there wasn’t much traffic. what are you doing?

bin: nOTHING

jinwoo:

bin:

jinwoo: sure

bin: it was supposed to be a birthday surprise

jinwoo: my birthday isn’t for another four months

bin nods solemnly, ducking his head, cheeks glowing pink

bin: i wanted it to be perfect

jinwoo walks to the couch and flops down

jinwoo: so, surprise me. show me what you’ve been playing

bin is stammering over his words, saying it’s not good enough, he isn’t ready to share it, he doesn’t even have the song done

and jinwoo just smiles and assures bin that he’ll love it no matter what

bin blushes, because, despite having been dating for three years, they haven’t used the L word for more than a year

and bin can’t hear it without blushing

but he sits on the floor again, legs folded and hands holding the ukulele

jinwoo thinks it looks almost too small, like a child with a guitar made for dolls

but then bin starts playing confidently, shoulders back but head bowed to see his fingers on the strings

and then he begins to sing

and jinwoo would be lying if he said he didn’t cry as he watched bin, yellow around the edges from the setting winter sun, singing about their experiences and their love

bin makes a few mistakes, making a face every time he does (and making jinwoo smile at all of his quirks)

and when the last chord rings through their small apartment

their small apartment, belong to them, adorned with knickknacks and clutter and bin’s college textbooks and books jinwoo bought but has yet to read

their small apartment, where they stay up pressed into each other’s sides until 3AM watching bad television, where they make breakfast together every morning, where bin uttered their very first “i love you” after a petty argument

their small apartment, where they’re beginning their lives together, for better or for worse, for as long as they may stay together

when the last chord rings through their apartment, full of memories and love, jinwoo sighs

and then he slides off the couch, walking on his knees to bin

and he sits on his calves, sliding his hands into bin’s dark hair

and he smiles brightly, taking in a deep breath

jinwoo: marry me, moon bin

bin stares at jinwoo, partly in awe and partly in shock

but jinwoo doesn’t need an answer

they’ve danced around the idea for long enough

so jinwoo takes bin’s hand off the ukulele and kisses his ring finger gently

and bin melts, grabbing jinwoo by his waist and pulling him into his lap

their laughter fills the apartment, separated by the sound of their lips meeting and parting

and as jinwoo shifts in bin’s lap, his forehead against bin’s

and as bin’s eyes peek at jinwoo over his glasses frames, one hand settled on his ukulele and the other on jinwoo’s jaw

they know one thing is certain

the love they have, the love they’ve shared for years before even the first verbal “i love you”
