♡ HAPPY MINHYUK DAY ♡ with all the fondness i hold for him in my heart i am wishing minhyuk a day full of warmth and happiness spent with people he loves in the comfort of his own home or an equivalent safe and cozy place. 

quick cc note: hi i think we all know at this point <3 it won’t be quick i won’t even pretend this time! so buckle in babes i actually have an unexpected (or maybe quite expected!) great many feelings about minhyuk!!

ok ok first thing i want to say is. we don’t know our idols i would never presume to know what they’re like in their day to day life BUT i have a strong suspicion that if i’d be in such danger of falling in love w/ minhyuk if he was just some guy i knew. ;LKASDFJKL;ASJ. ok that was humiliating glad i got that out of the way! <3 now we can get started.

minhyuk is an INTERLOPER!! he stole his way into my heart and took up residence!! he simply arrived and settled in and REFUSED TO LEAVE!! the audacity of it all. i was sitting so so pretty w/ my mx megline i was perfectly happy and comfy with my three guys and then it was like he stomped his foot and said BUT WHAT ABOUT ME and my resistance buckled. (what actually happened is that wings wore me down and i had to admit that i did like him so much in fact.)

what actually actually happened is that i came to. really appreciate the way he has steel in his spine, but most of the time, before you ever even get to that, you get his winsome smile and his twinkling eyes and his voice and his words laden with honey and you blink and suddenly he’s gotten his way. i like that he always stands up for his loved ones and isn’t afraid to tell fans to stay in line and i like that in 2020 he took stock of his group and their situation and the terrible song that their company wanted them to come back with and he said. we will not be doing that, actually. and he convinced them and then jooheon said ‘here’s gambler’ and the rest is history!! we get jooheon title tracks now!!!

i like that he doesn’t enjoy being the de facto eldest and in charge of greetings with shownu in the military but that he puts his best foot forward to represent his group anyway! i like that he loves narrative driven music videos and that he’ll analyze storylines and scenes with enthusiasm! i like that he loves whales, and i like that the reason he loves whales is that to him they represent being able to carry his loved ones towards good things. i like his tenacity in the face of adversity and the way he proved himself on no.mercy so many years ago and hit the ground running and has grown in spades since then, but still thinks so fondly of the fabric softener that he and hyungwon would use during their hard trainee days.

i like his sense of humor and his seemingly boundless energy when he’s got his entertainer hat on, and the way that he’s such a homebody on his own time. i like that he is keenly aware of the effect he can have on others as an idol, and that he thinks a lot about the bond between kpop stars and their fans, and that he in turn seeks to maintain a healthy relationship with mbbs.

i like that he’s an artist through and through, and i like when he paints to express himself and i like when he paints presents for the members and i like when he does crafts on vogueshipshow and his brow furrows when he focuses hard.

the thing maybe i don’t like is that !! he never really. seems to acknowledge how important he is to the group and i would like to grab him by the shoulders and tell him that he is so so vital to their dynamic and their success as a group and that he works so hard and has done so much to get mx’s name out there and that without his particular vocal timbre mx songs would sound empty and without him onstage you’d acutely feel that something special was missing.

whew anyway. lee minhyuk i adore you in a normal, non-parasocial manner. i hope that this next year ushers in a chapter of your life that brings you a measure of peace and a chance to rest, and that you can take the time to breathe and just be. and i hope the year brings you so many reasons to laugh and smile. we love you and we’ll keep walking with you no matter what the road ahead brings!!
