Jaehee, Seven and Jumin - Making them blush >///<

Jaehee

It was the weekend and the both of you had decided to go out for shopping at the mall two stations away from your shared apartment. You both were trying on different dresses, putting on on each other. You pulled off a red strapless dress from the rack and put on Jaehee. She looked at you confused, before you pushed the red dress on her asking her to try it on.

"MC, what-"

"Go on.. try that" you turned her and pushed her shoulders in the direction on the changing rooms.

"MC it won't look good on me." she sighed and turned around to face you.

"Who said that to you? Listen Jaehee, even if you wear these formal suits and dresses or potato sack, you'll look beautiful. And you're beautiful. And this dress will look gorgeous on you. C'mon now, go and try this." Instead of going into the rooms, she hugged you hiding her red cheeks on your shoulders.

Seven

It has been three months since ordeal with Mint eye and Saeran. The twins were now reunited and you and Saeyoung were engaged. To celebrate, the RFA had decided to hold another party. You looked around in awe, taking in the beauty of the location.

"This looks so gorgeous.." you muttered under your breath.

"Couldn't have been if you weren't for you.." you heard your fiance reply to you. You turned over to look at him with a smile.

To your shock, he took your hand in his and bent down to kiss your palm. "Princess, may you share a dance with me?" he looked up at you from your palm.

Giggling at his cute self, you said yes and tightened your grip on his palm. He dragged you towards the dance floor. Holding your finger high, he spinned you a few times before pulling you close to him. Close enough to feel his breath on your lips.

"I'm sorry MC.."

"Why?" you asked, tilting your head in confusion.

"I put you in so much danger. And the party you organised... because of m-"

You pulled his tie pulling him to your height and slammed you lips on his, cutting off his sentence. You pulled away and spoke, "Shut up! How many times will i tell you? Saeyoung.. I would rather be in danger with you than see you suffer from the side.." With a sigh you continued "I love you way way way way way more than you love Honey Buddha Chips Saeyou."

"I love you more MC.." His face spoke way more emotions. You moved your hands up to his flushed cheeks and stared into his glossy amber eyes. Both of you leaned in to a sweet kiss.

"Sorry to interrupt you both but I need MC to make her speech."

MC - So I decided to text them here.

MC - ....

MC - Jumin?

MC - ....?

Bonus ~

While you were working on your new art piece, your phone started to ring. Picking up the call, you replied, "Hey Jaehee! What's up?"

"Hey... MC?"

"Yeah?"

"Is everything alright?" Her voice was muffled,  almost as it she was whispering.

"Yes everything is great! Why so? What happened?"

"Well... during the meeting when Mr. Han was using his phone, he started crying. The Chairman was so shocked he even paused the meeting for 5 minutes..." Jaehee's voice is filled with astonishment.

"Ohh! Ohhhhhh! Oh?"

~

This is it for this imagine. I couldn't come up with ideas for other characters. Really sorry for that. But I really hope you liked it. Requests are open~

Have a great day!:)

You’re Home - Jumin Han

Prompt: “Who are you? Your eyes... They’re not the ones I fell in love with.” - @eslyra​ 400 word Drabble for @rfadiscordserver​

Scraped knees covered in bandaids, the smell of wet chalk on the sidewalk after a summer shower, and a toy car driving around - you in the passenger seat and your best friend beside you.

As you got older, paper airplanes landing on your desk, an apple being shared between you two at lunch, and a mint haired boy photographing silly pictures of the both of you.

That was what your childhood consisted of. It was something you longed greatly for, especially since you had to leave behind your old best friend.

Your first love

The one person you trusted your life with

Jumin Han

So why, after all this time, was it so hard to recognize him?

“MC, it’s been a long time.” His small smile sent your heart into palpitations but when your eyes met his, it felt like the beating of your heart stopped all together. “Eleven years to be exact.”

“Who are you?” You whispered, eyes flickering over his face, searching for a sign that he was still who you remembered him being. “Your eyes….” trailing off, Jumin’s eyes met yours once again. ”They’re not the ones I fell in love with.”

“You’ve been away for a long time…” Jumin responded, gesturing to his living room sofa before sitting down next to you. “Let me see if I can catch you up.”

As you sat and listened to Jumin speak, you hung onto every word, gasping when he told you about what Rika did in regards to starting the Mint Eye, you listened intently as Jumin told you of his father and his expectations for him to marry Sarah Choi, and eventually, letting some tears shed when it was revealed that Jihyun was no longer in this world.

“I may not seem like I am the person I used to be, but that is because life has brought many hardships to me.” Jumin concluded, softly smiling at you to ease away the worried crease on your forehead. “But that does not mean that the person I am isn’t me.” Brushing his hand lightly against yours, Jumin looked down at his cat in his lap. “I hope you will stick around and get to know me again.”

“Jumin,” you answered honestly. “Just because you’re not the same boy I fell in love with when I was 16 does not mean I cannot love the man sitting in front of me. This man right here is strong, stronger than anyone I’ve ever met before. He’s gone through many hardships and I can see he’s closed himself off to many; some may even call him cold. But underneath it all, I still see vulnerable pieces of the boy he used to be.” Your hand clasped Jumin’s tightly, causing him to look at you. “But the man he is now is more important to me.”

Jumin let out a breath he didn’t know he was holding and squeezed your hand. “Thank you for coming home, MC.”

Your heart fluttered at those words and your breath caught in your throat as you met his eyes once more. “Of course I came back, home is where you are.”

Daybreak

Our second prompt for the RFA discord server drabble event was apricity (which means: the warmth of the sun in winter)!!!!!

Pairing: Jihuyn Kim x MC

@sunshinejihyun

The air was cold, sharp, and it stung Jihyun’s lungs as he breathed it in. His breath puffed out before him, fading away beneath the pale, cloudless sky.

Around him, the world was wrapped in slumber, blanketed in a thin layer of powdery snow. The trees were barren, the flower beds sparse, the roots in a deep sleep beneath the frozen soil. The sky was a steel grey, stained with pallid blues and watery gold near the horizon, where the sun glowed.

It was moments before dawn, before the light of day broke out across the world. Everything was silent except for the sound of Jihyun’s breaths and the slight crunching of snow beneath his feet as he shifted.

He’d awoken freezing, the bed empty, and he’d slipped from the blankets in search of his wife, craving her warmth.

He’d wandered through the darkened halls until he’d found her perched on the counter in the kitchen, peering out into the garden.

“What are you doing?” He’d asked, moving to stand next to her, to wrap his arms around her waist and rest his head against her chest.

She’d rested her cheek against the top of his head, her arms circling around his neck. “I wanted to watch the sunrise.”

“It’s so cold though, love.”

“Not now that you’re here.”

He’d hummed, smiling as she’d pressed a kiss to the top of his head.

“You know,” he’d mused. “If you want to watch the sunrise, you’ll get a better view of it from the garden.”

She’d pulled away, grinning down at him. “Will you come out with me?”

“Of course.”

Now he found himself standing in the garden, shivering as he waited for the daybreak.

“Sorry that took so long,” MC said, drawing his attention. She pressed a mug of steaming tea into his hands, leaning forward to brush a kiss against his jaw. “Thank you for coming out with me.”

“I love spending time with you,” he breathed.

He felt sunshine spreading through him, even as the wind raked through his hair and cut across his skin like freezing daggers. Above them, the sky was stained with rose and marigold and scarlet as the sun cast its brilliant light across the world.

The air was cold, enough to make him shiver, but standing at the cusp of daybreak, beside MC, his very own sun, he couldn’t help feeling warm.

Never Mind, You Were Never Mine

Title: Never Mind, You Were Never Mine

Rating: General

Prompt: Lifetime - Ben&Ben

Pairing: Jihyun/MC 

Final Word Count: 732 words

A/N: I’ll keep it under 400 words, I said. I can keep to the word count this time, I said. Ahhh!! I’ve never been good at writing angst, but I hope this conveyed my concept right. I’ll probably end up making this into a bigger project to (Even though none of the WIPs I have are at all close to being finished.)

Summary: So, what if MC an V knew each other in high school or something, and they pined for each other, but nothing ever came out of it :))

Your grip around the champagne flute tightens.

“Congratulations on your engagement,” you say, trying your best to make it sound like you meant it. Why shouldn’t you? Jihyun smiled so brightly when he had his arm wrapped around her waist and his eyes twinkled whenever they were locked with hers. You felt as though you were intruding on a moment. “You two look so perfect for each other.”

Beside you, Jumin makes a face. After knowing you for so long, he can see you’re lying. He looks at you in doubt, but neither of you say anything. It’s not like Jihyun—no, he goes by V now—it’s not like V notices, anyway.

“Thanks, MC,” he says, his eyes alight with joy.

His eyes lock with yours briefly, and in that moment, you swear you see it all over again. All the stolen glances, the secret smiles, the little inside jokes you shared—they flashed through your mind as though it were only yesterday that you had been seated next to the other in class. You think you may even see a wisp of longing.

You erase the thought from your mind immediately when he breaks from your gaze and returns to looking at Rika. Of course you were just seeing things, it couldn’t happen in high school, why should it happen now, when he’s so deeply in love with someone else?

“I’m happy you invited me tonight, but I’m afraid I must leave.” You push down all the feelings of regret and longing, the ache in your chest and the tears you just know are going to be flowing non-stop can wait until you are out of their sight.

“So soon?” Rika asks, eyes just a little disappointed.

For a second, you want to hate her. You want to cry and yell at her for snatching V up before you even had your chance with him, for being the one he held, kissed, woke up to, fell asleep to, smiled at—the one he loved. But you know you can’t. You can’t because it’s not her fault that she was amazing and that it drew V to her instead of you, not her fault you didn’t take a chance.

“Yeah, I have work tomorrow. I just came here for your special moment.”

You’re sure the smile you’ve plastered on your face looks fake, but if any of them notice, they don’t make note of it.

“MC, are you sure you can’t stay for even just a few more minutes?”

You look at V’s earnest eyes. Those beautiful mint eyes that you’ve always adored. You think again, maybe you shouldn’t leave. Maybe you should stay and watch him be happy. Perhaps this could be a gift to him, even if he knew nothing of how you felt.

But Rika wraps an arm around his waist too, and the ache in your chest starts becoming too much to bear.

“It’s a morning meeting, I can’t be late.” Setting the champagne glass down on a passing waiter’s tray, you muster up the brightest, sincerest smile you can. “I’m glad you found each other.”

V looks like he wants to say something, but Rika smiles back at you and thanks you, so he does the same.

You bid them farewell, shooting one last smile—one last look of longing at the happy couple, and turn to leave. You barely make it out the ballroom hall’s door when the tears start pouring. You do your best to stifle your cries until you make it out the lobby, but you couldn’t do it. There was no stopping the tight clench of your heart as you tried to erase the loving gazes shared by V and Rika from your mind, nor the painful sob clawing its way up your throat as you think that it could have been you.

A strong arm wraps around your shoulders, lifting you up just as you begin to lose the feeling in your knees.

“I’m fine,” you say, already recognising Jumin from the sleeve of his expensive suit.

“You aren’t,” he replies. “But you will be. For now, let’s get you home.”

Back inside, Rika sends V a reassuring smile.

“At least she made it.”

“Right,” V says, smiling.

He glances at the doorway his friends left through.

Maybe in another world, he thinks to himself before pushing the thought away and sending Rika another loving gaze.

To Be Loved - Jihyun Kim

Prompt: “There are so many worse things than death. Not to be loved or not to be able to love; that is worse.” - me! 400 word drabble for @rfadiscordserver​

Sitting in Luciel’s car was a place of solace for Jihyun during this time spent hiding away. With MC around all the time, he couldn’t do as much thinking as he wanted to-- not that he minded, of course. MC was someone who had brought light to his incredibly dark world and he’d forever be grateful for that but there was a point where he just needed time to think.

And over the next few days, thinking was what he did. Jihyun thought about Rika, his mother, even Saeyoung and Saeran. He thought about all his flaws and imperfections but most of all he thought about MC. He thought about how quick she was to smile at his jokes, and how she held his hand to help combat the bad dreams away as he went to sleep. He thought of how when they went and spent time together, he longed to be closer to her for extended periods of time. Most importantly, he thought about how she was slowly teaching him to love again.

It was a funny feeling-- the thought of being able to love without trying to fully submerge himself into the relationship. It wasn’t to the point where he was drowning and it was a feeling so new to Jihyun that it was almost overwhelming. “What have you been thinking about lately?” Jihyun and MC were sitting on a hill a little ways away from the cottage that they were all hiding away in. Jihyun wasn’t always well enough to get out, the drug given to him at Mint Eye made him sickly, but today was a day he was craving fresh air and some time spent with MC.

“About all the faults in my life.” Jihyun admitted honestly before holding his hand out for MC to take.”But there’s one thing that I have concluded.” MC looked at him curiously, her lips pursed in surprise. “I’m not afraid of death… in fact, I could embrace it at this point because there are so many worse things than death. Not to be loved or not to be able to love; that’s worse. And believe me, I’ve loved. I’ve loved hard enough that it almost killed me.” There was a thoughtful pause as Jihyun collected his jumbled train of thoughts. “I just wish I knew what it felt like to be loved.”

Sitting there with MC, her hand holding his as tight as she could, Jihyun had a small inkling in the back of his mind that this, right here, was what it felt like to be loved.

And he’d take that feeling over death any day.

An Enchanting Evening - Yoosung Kim

Prompt: "I am profoundly enchanted by the flowing complexity in you." by John Keats - @saeyoungs-sunflower​ 400 word drabble for @rfadiscordserver​

Your first real date with Yoosung took place in a fancy restaurant that Zen had recommended. He was sitting across from you in a very stiff looking suit and was absentmindedly picking at the food on his plate.

You were already nervous - sure you and Yoosung had exchanged countless messages room and had even more phone calls, but meeting in person was different. Especially when he looked like he was ten second away from going to the bathroom and crawling out the window.

“Is everything okay?”

“I hate my food.” Yoosung blurted out, his eyes almost pleading with you. “I’m spending my entire time over here nervous because we’re at this fancy restaurant with fancy food. I don’t even know what I ordered AND you’re sitting across from me and you’re way out of my league and I’m afraid you’ll realize it.”

“Do you want to leave? Because we can leave, go to your apartment and play LOLOL. You did promise you’d teach me.”

Once Yoosung had flagged down the waiter and paid for the meal - despite you offering to pay your part - you walked hand in hand back to his apartment. “It’s not much,” Yoosung admitted as you looked around.

Shaking your head at his comment you squeezed his hand tight before letting go. “No, it’s perfectly you. Where’s your gaming setup?”

And that’s how you ended up with Yoosung, you on his lap in his gamers chair, you both taking turns playing rounds on the game. Once you got the hang of it, Yoosung started watching *you*. The way your eyes lit up when something that you wanted to happen did was enchanting and Yoosung couldn’t believe how lucky he was to have this amazing specimen of a person sitting next to him.

“You’re staring at me.” Your eyes were still locked on the screen. Nonetheless, Yoosung blushed a deep red. “Why?”

“I am profoundly enchanted by the flowing complexity in you.”

“Where’d you hear that from?” You laughed, leaning his your head in the crook of his neck

“I heard it in one of my literature classes and thought it was a good line for this moment!” Yoosung whined out, dropping his head in embarrassment. “Stop teasing me!”

“Sorry, sorry!” You held your hands up in mock surrender. “What do you mean I’m complex?” “I mean that you’re you… gorgeous and sitting next to me and playing video games in a fancy outfit and you don’t even seem uncomfortable. You’re always in your element! And I’m just awkward, I couldn’t even make it through a dinner.”

Sliding off the swivel chair to your knees, you put your face back in Yoosung’s line of sight. “Yoosung, I’m comfortable because I’m with you. Fancy dinner’s are overrated and I’d rather be here with you, making fried rice and playing LOLOL.”

“You mean that?” Yoosung’s hand absentmindedly sought out yours and he gripped it tightly.

“Absolutely,” you replied, lifting his hand up to your lips and pressing a lingering kiss to the back of it.

Morning Bliss - Zen Ryu

Promp: Gardening - @spacesquidlings​ 400 word drabble for the RFA Discord

“Where have you been sneaking off to every morning while I go for my run?” You were laying in Zen’s lap after you both had eaten a filling lunch, listening quietly while he practiced one of his songs.

“Hmm?” You asked lazily, stretching yourself out like a cat. “Oh.”

“Muddy shoes and clothes? Are you stalking me?” Zen asked playfully, tapping your nose adoringly. “You know, if you wanted to watch me work out, jagiya, all you had to do was ask.”

“I wasn’t stalking you. I promise!” You giggled as Zen’s lithe fingers danced across your sides, causing you to squirm and almost elbow you in the face. “I’ve been gardening!” Zen raised his eyebrows and you giggled at his shocked expression. “Skip working out tomorrow morning, come with me! I’d love for you to see.”

So that’s how you and Zen were up early, donning gardening gloves and water bottles, quickly making your way to the plot of the community garden you had rented out. “So what are you growing?” You glanced at Zen, giggling as he readjusted his hat on his head and scowled as his hair blew in his face. “Some cucumbers, a watermelon, and other various veggies. I figured once they grow, I can make something for us with some of the ingredients I grew.”

Zen watched as your face lit up and he reached out and brushed your hair out of your eyes. “Babe, that’d be amazing! I’m so excited to see your little garden.”

As you led him to the plot you pointed to a few weeds that had sprouted overnight. “Can you pull those for me?”

Quietly, you and Zen got to work, a comfortable silence falling over both of you, the quiet only being interrupted when Zen would ask you a question on what to do. After weeding the area and harvesting a few tomatoes and a cucumber, you both headed back to his small apartment.

“Want me to make an omelette with some of these ingredients?” You held them up, and Zen waggled his eyebrows at the cucumber. “Stop it!”

Backing you up against the counter, Zen enveloped you in his arms, sweetly pressing a kiss to your lips. “How about we make it together?”

Nodding, you both set to work, happily chopping and chatting the rest of the morning away.

My Vows to You - Zen

Prompt: Wedding vows - @cafedanslanuit​ 400 word drabble for @rfadiscordserver​

“Of all the people you've met on your journey and of all the places you've been, somehow and someway, you ended up here—with me. Although today marks the start to the rest of our lives, I know it will not be enough time with you.”

“I will not take our time together for granted.”

You watched as Zen gazed up at the stars, eyes wide and mouth set into a concentrated ‘o’ shape. He suddenly turned to you, a bright smile on his face and a blush dusting his cheeks. “I feel as if I’ve known you for a long time. Why do you think that is?” Zem glanced down at your hands sitting mere centimeters apart. “Can I… hold your hand?” Without responding, you quietly took his hand, linking your fingers together and leaning against Zen’s body.

“I’m enjoying every moment we’ve spent together.” You told him honestly, and though you didn’t hear his response, the squeezing of your hand told you all you needed to know: Zen felt the same.

“I promise to make you laugh when you are taking yourself too seriously.”

“MC, stop it, it’s not funny! I look ridiculous.”

Zen had gotten cast as one of the female leads in a musical and during tech week he showed up wearing his hair in curled ringlets, hints of bright red lipstick still on his lips. “It’s a little funny.” You admitted, hiding your smile behind your hand. “Come look.”

You guided him to the bathroom mirror and pulled his hair over his shoulders fixing his face so he was pouting at himself in the mirror. After a few quiet moments, Zen broke into a loud joy laugh, leaning his weight back on you slightly. “You’re right, this is kinda funny.”

Smiling in victory, you went to pull out your makeup bag, ready to finish what had been started earlier.

“And I promise that when we are old and gray, we will look back on our lives together and we have no regrets.”

Looking up at the man at the altar, your heart constricted with the words he was saying. Saying them with so much love and passion, made your eyes well up with tears.

Because although those were words from you to him-- they were, in reality, from him to another.

All I’ve Ever Known - Jihyun Kim

Prompt: All I’ve Ever Known from Hadestown the Musical - @jihyuncompass​ Warnings: Major spoilers for the Secret Endings, mentions of blood, mentions of being shot 400 word drabble for the RFA Discord

“NO!” Your voice was ripped out of your throat as Saeran pulled the trigger.

You couldn’t tell if it was you or Rika who’s screams were echoing around Mint Eye, but all you knew was that you needed to be over there. With him.

With Jihyun, who’s body had crumpled to the floor, blood starting to seep through his clothes. Tears clouded your eyes, making it hard to see his face as you knelt down beside him.

“MC,” Jihyun’s voice came out in a soft croak and with him speaking your name, the room went silent. It was just you and him, nothing else had mattered. This was the first time you had seen him in person, and now you understood why everyone described him the way they did. Being with him, even like this, felt like the sun was warming your cheeks. Just looking into his eyes made you feel like you’ve known him forever, yet you had only just met ten days prior. “Can you lay with me?”

Rika was screaming, but you both ignored her hysterics though she was standing not more than two feet away from the both of you. Saeyoung had grappled the gun away from his brother and was now holding him on the ground, refusing to let go, despite his brother's cries of agony.

Nodding, you lowered your head to his shoulder and fit your body next to his, not noticing or caring about the blood spreading into your clothes. ”I don’t ever want to ever have to let you go.”

Jihyun was struggling as he brought his hands up to your face, his thumb bright red, and he tenderly held your chin. ”It’s a little funny, it feels like suddenly, I’m holding the world in my arms.”  He coughed once and your heart stuttered as you realized this was your first and last time in your lovers arms. “I love your soul.” His hand dropped quickly back to his side and he coughed, blood spurting out as he did so.

And with that, Jihyun Kim took the very last breath of his too short life. As a security team rushed in to secure Rika and Saeran, Jumin grabbed you, pulling you away from V’s lifeless body and muffling your screams and cries as he hugged you close, your head buried in his shoulder.

Jumin shuddered as he watched his lifelong friend be picked up and taken away. “I don’t want to go back to a lonely life.” One of the security guards came up to him and whispered something in Jumin’s ear, something too quiet for you to hear. Jumin’s body heaved with a heavy sigh against you. “Wait for me, I'm coming with you.” He whispered to himself, but you heard it clear as day.

It took you a few moments to realize that the wetness on the top of your head wasn’t Jihyun’s blood, it was Jumin’s tears.

Lifetime - Jihyun Kim

Prompt: Lifetime by Ben&Ben - @stardust-writer​ Warnings: Kind of spoilers for secret ends, mentions of blood, mentions of being shot 400 word drabble for the RFA Discord

Ten days.

That’s all it took for you to fall absolutely head over heels in love with Jihyun Kim.

It wasn’t meant to be this way, you weren’t supposed to be in love with him. It was supposed to be Saeyoung’s turn. But when the bullet ripped out of Saeran’s gun, your heart leaped out of your chest and no matter how you felt for Saeyoung in that moment, you knew you couldn’t just sit there and let your true love die again. After all, nothing that you’d do would matter. You’d just be able to press a button and you would be back at day one, trying once again to help someone new.

As your eyes met with Jihyun’s, you saw the panic and you knew he was aware of what was going to happen next.

And he looked terrified.

Pushing down the bile rising in your throat, you waited until the moment you knew he wouldn’t be able to push you away and you ran, placing yourself in front of Jihyun right as the bullet hit your neck.

Jihyun caught you as your body sagged and he slowly lowered you to the ground, breaking eye contact to look straight into Jumin’s eyes as he and his security guards rushed in. Jumin nodded his head at Jihyun before the paramedic rushed to you, quickly assessing if he could help your wounds.

But you knew.

You knew that you wouldn’t survive this playthrough. You were already so, so cold and Jihyun’s hands on your arms were so, so warm. “I’ll see you soon.” You whispered out, using your last strength to brush your fingers across his cheek.

“I’d spend a lifetime waiting in vain, just to go back to the way we were before.” “This was the wrong time,” you replied before your eyes closed and your breathing slowed.

And on the screen you watched as Jihyun’s body slumped over your lifeless one, before Saeyoung pushed him aside and his salty tears tracked down your lips.

Saeyoung knew it’d never be the right time for you and him, and he cried because he mourned the loss of what could have been and he couldn’t help but wonder aloud “Is there a lifetime waiting for us? All this time I have been yours.”

And as Saeyoung continued to wonder aloud, Jihyun wondered when the next reset would take place, and hopefully this time it’d be his turn. Yes, that’d be a good dream.

Duet

Jihyun catches MC practising one of her favourite songs

Pairing: Jihyun Kim x MC

Our third prompt for the RFA discord server drabble event was “All I’ve Ever Known” from Hadestown. It was supplied by @jihyuncompass !!!!! (who has now made me listen to this entire soundtrack, might I add)

****************************************************************

“What are you doing?”

MC looked up from the sheet music before her, tipping her head back to meet her husband’s gaze.

Jihyun smiled down at her. “Are you trying out a new song?”

She nodded, shifting so there was room for him on the piano bench next to her. “I really like singing it, so I wanted to try it on the piano, too.”

He moved around the bench, wrapping his arm around her waist as he sat beside her. “Which one?”

She tapped the sheet music with her pen. “It’s ‘All I’ve Ever Known.’”

He smiled, nodding. “I think I’ve heard that one in the shower before.”

She ducked her head, heat blooming in her cheeks.

“Can I hear how it’s going?”

She straightened, stretching her fingers out and placing them over the keys. “Of course.”

Jihyun hummed quietly beside her as she began playing, her fingers dancing over the keys, softly at first, growing louder as the song progressed.

She mouthed the words quietly as she played, unable to stop herself from singing the song, feeling herself growing warm as the love song washed over her.

“You take me in your arms/ And suddenly there’s sunlight all around me/ Everything warm and bright.”

She didn’t notice Jihyun had stopped humming, that his eyes were fixed on her.

And she nearly stumbled on the keys when Jihyun started singing, too.

She blinked, turning to peer at him, but he just smiled, sending sunlight scattering through her heart.

“But when I saw you all alone against the sky/ It’s like I’d known you all along.”

His voice was soft, gentle. It was warm, made her feel like she was being enveloped in sunshine, like she was being wrapped in his arms.

“Suddenly the sunlight/ Bright and warm.”

“Suddenly I’m holding the world in my arms.”

MC didn’t think she’d heard a more beautiful rendition of the song, not ever. She doubted it would sound nearly as warm, would make her heart ache quite as much, as it did in this moment.

“Say that we’ll stay with each other,” she sang, leaning against him, breathing him in. “And that it will always be like this.”

“I’m gonna hold you forever,” he breathed, his voice growing quiet as the song drew to a close. He kissed her brow, smiling. “Long as we stay together/ Then it will always be like this.”
