🌿 Entry No. 1

There's just something about Haechan and his attitude towards his career that makes you want to root for him.

He debuted at 16. He wasn't as famous as the rest of the group then. He was the youngest. He's yet to establish his role in NCT. He even admitted recently that during the early days of NCT, he was just happy to be there.

He's extremely talented. Despite that, he went through comebacks where he has little to no lines in songs, and barely any exposure in their choreographies, especially in 127. He was a vital part of Dream, tho, so it was bearable.

Heachan being reassigned as a main vocalist in 127 and debuting in an NCT U vocal group with a YYJ ballad was just a thing waiting to happen. He's born to be a singer. His parents are both musically-inclined. He grew up with respected musical influences that shaped his identity. He's also a great dancer with technical training pre-debut, and he was the best rapper among his fellow trainees during their training period. It's just natural that with time, he'll get recognized for his talents.

That said, the time came earlier because Haechan, aside from being naturally gifted, is also a hardworker. This shows whenever he's in a recording studio, during dance practices, or when they're shooting their music videos.

According to their producers, Haechan is usually the Neo who finishes recording in the shortest span of time. That makes sense because he enters the studio having figured out what to do with his parts.

Haechan is very goofy and playful most of the time, but the shift in attitude whenever he enters the recording booth is undeniable. You'll really find him the most serious when he is recording.

He records his parts knowing what he already wants to do with them. It's actually rare to see him ask the producers what he's going to do with his parts. He'd rather ask for opinion about a change he wants to do to his part which I think speaks volumes about him as an artist.

This also reflects on his dream as a singer-songwriter. He's a very goal-oriented person who knows what he has to do to succeed. He's very proactive about a future solo career that I just wish SM would give him more oportunities to grow individually. So far, he only has one OST to his name. It's a good thing that he released 2 of the songs he made during The Link concerts, but I hope in the near future, they will be available on music platforms. The songs deserve to be heard by more people.

He's also very diligent about dancing. He's trained in ballet, jazz, contemporary, and sports dance. I bet it was hard to incorporate a more ballet/contemporary training in kpop compared to a more urban hiphop training but he made it work beautifully.

He is also one of the members who easily memorizes choreographies. Although he's in three active units, meaning he has more choreographies to remember, he doesn't slack off. He's one of the Neos that the mebers go to when recalling choreographies.

He's also seen in a lot of their music video shoots practicing the dance steps during his free time. With a schedule as grueling as his, he might not have the time to practice as much as the rest of the group is. His dedication to his craft is immense because you will never catch him slacking off despite this.

I'm aware that for some, recording seriously and practicing choreographies during your free time might be a bare minimum, but to me, it speaks about his work ethics and his whole perspective about his career.

He's relatively one of the most successful members of NCT at this point, just basing on the fact that from an average member, he's carved a place in the group that only he can fill. He's also built and grew a stable fandom even though he only had opportunities for solo promotions in 2022. He's one of the most popular now (and his selling power good lord). All these and he remains humble (that sometimes I just want him to be more vocal about his achievements cos I always get the urge to push him to the mic and give a speech whenever they win on music shows). He works just as hard, if not harder, as when he was a trainee.

He's such a great person to root for and look up to, and he's inspired me to work harder for myself in more ways than one. 🧡

Sunflower and Sun

An ordinary day of Sunflower and Sun

I was about to answer his message when I felt someone hugged me from behind, laid his chin on my left shoulder, and peeked at my phone. 

“You named my contact ‘My Sun’? Why?” He asked curiously.

I pulled away from the hug, turned my body to looked at him, "Hmm It's a secret." 

"Eyyy, come on, tell me, please," He said while carried me and put me on the top of the kitchen table. He stood between my legs, wrapped his hands around my waist, and stared at me with those puppy eyes. Hoping that I will be melted by it.

I let out a long sigh. One thing that I can’t resist, Haechan and his curiosity. "Fine, I'll tell you, but on one condition. You're the one who washes the dishes today. Deal?" I said.

"What?? Ahh come on... Can’t we just do the scissors, paper, and rock for that?" He whined, as he didn’t like the idea of washing the dishes. I chuckled, looking at how he whined. It’s cute. 

I shook my head, “Nope. There’s no scissors, paper, rock this time. You know I’ll definitely lose if we play that, babe.” Haechan chuckled when he listened to my answer. I bet now he's thinking about how I always lost when we played the scissors, paper, rock game.

I took a deep breath, “Well okay, if you don’t want to do that, I won’t—” I didn’t finish my words because Haechan suddenly pecked a kiss on my cheek, which instantly made me freeze. Haechan? Yap, he smiled widely looking at my reaction.

“I’ll do it, love,” He pinched my cheek, wrapped his hands around my waist, and looked at me in the eyes, “Now tell me, please pleaseee?” He begged with his cutely voice.

I chuckled, then caressed his hair softly, “Okay, first, it's because your name means 'full sun' and you know it also means shine bright uprightly. Second, the color of ‘sun’ is yellow, right?” He nodded his head in agreement with my question.

“You know, yellow means happiness, hope, cheerfulness, optimism, and joy. When I read that, I thought it really suits you,

You are the brightest person that I’ve ever met. You make people around you smile, laugh, and even give them positive energy. Either it’s through your acts, words, or simply because of your existence. You’re the sunshine that lights up your surroundings. That’s why you’re ‘my sun’.”

He smiled as he listened to my answer. It seems like he’s proud of my explanation about ‘sun’ as his contact name. Then he caressed my hair softly, tucked some hair strands behind my ear, and said “As expected, everything that comes from your mind is always wonderful. I adore you,”

I smiled at his words and added, “But you know that the sun doesn’t always shine brightly, don’t you? It can be dimmed and gloomy sometimes. And when that happens, I’ll be there to embrace and help it to go through it all until it shines again.”

He smiled from ear to ear. The sweetest smile that made me fall for him over and over again. “And I will come to you, whatever the situations are, because you’re my home,”   

He kissed my forehead deeply, as he wanted me to know that he loves me that much. “I’m head over heels in love with you,” he whispered, before he laid his lips on mine. I could feel my cheeks were getting heated. Both of our eyes were closed. Haechan moved his lips against mine gently, as if my lips are fragile. He put his hands on the side of my face, fingers under my ears, while his thumbs were caressing my cheeks. My hands went up to wrapped around his waist. I could feel Haechan smiled in the middle of our kiss. He deepened his kiss before he moved away his face. He leaned his forehead against mine while we both breath heavily, trying to get some oxygen. Haechan leaned in again for a peck, then he smiled.

“If I’m the sun then you’re sunflower” He mumbled.

“Sunflower?”

He nodded, “Hm-mm. My sunflower"

"Why?"

"Because sunflower will only look and follow whenever the sun goes. So you’ll only look at me. Not anyone else,”

We both stared each other, then laughed.

“It’s kinda cringe, right?” He asked.

I nodded my head, “Yeah, a bit. But I like it. Sunflower,”

He smiled widely, pulled me closer for a hug. 

“I love you, noona, my sunflower! Only mine!”
