even before jihoon understands it, daniel hasalways been in the picture. he’s his older brother’s best friend since forever,always hanging out together over the summer, going to quidditch matches andhaving sleepovers. daniel was there when jihoon almost drowned in the atlanticsea, on this particular chic little island on france’s west coast, and he had ruffledjihoon’s hair in encouragement when jihoon was sorted to slytherin because heknew jihoon developed a fear of the sea—and although a lake isn’t as deep as the sea, still. that one smallgesture helped jihoon to sleep at night, even after years have passed.

their parents are friends from hogwarts, andback when jihoon was just a chubby kid clinging to sungwoon’s doting hands, heremembers their families had a tradition to exchange gifts during christmasthat only stopped last year because both sungwoon and daniel turned seventeen,jokingly making disgusted faces at each other as they sat shoulders toshoulders on daniel’s family warm living room.

jihoon is fifteen.

and he’s in love with daniel.

*

the realization didn’t come with a grand,orchestral background music suddenly playing as he zeroed his focus on daniel;his small eyes disappeared as he smiled, wide,to something a very handsome 8th year ravenclaw said. daniel’s broad, broadshoulders were shaking as he fully laughed right in the middle of sippingpumpkin juice. this summer daniel dyed his hair ash-blonde and it suited himlike always, just like when he dyed it pink due to losing a bet to the same 8thyear ravenclaw jihoon is not sure whether he’s daniel’s new fling or what.there was no grand, orchestral music at all as jihoon watched from afar, aflurry of green and silver sometimes blocking his view as they welcomed the newadditions to their beloved house.

the realization came with a pang of jealousy, and jihoon is only fifteen.

“that eighth year isn’t daniel-hyung’s ‘newfling’,” woojin says, loud enough for a group of hufflepuff girls sitting twotables away to hear him if they want. woojin grins sheepishly whenjihoon glares at him, and continues with a hushed tone, “that eighth year, hisname is ong seongwoo, by the way, is my cousin’s boyfriend. youngmin-hyung, doyou remember him? he graduated last year.”

“of course,” jihoon nods, instantly matchinga kind face to the familiar name. “without him we would have failed arithmancyand potions.”

“yeah,” woojin agrees, “so there’s that. stopworrying, start flirting.”

jinyoung snorts from where he’s seated nextto jihoon. he’s smuggling chocolates to the library, and jihoon wishes he’schoking on some because he refuses to share.

“are you serious? jihoon turns mushy in front of daniel-hyung!”jinyoung says, a little bit too hysterical for such embarrassing fact. “i cantotally see the headline on witch weekly or something, ‘breaking: hogwartsfairest, spiciest quarter-veela park jihoon was seen getting antsy and adorablystuttering to longtime childhood friend the gryffindor heartthrob, the next bigname seeker in quidditch, kang daniel!��”

“that was terrifyingly detailed, jesus.” even woojin who never misses a chance tohumiliate jihoon on daily basis, understands. jihoon makes a mental note togive the last firewhisky he’s got under his bed to woojin, only because woojinhimself needs liquid courage to even greet hyungseob, jihoon’s fellow 5th yearslytherin roommate.

to conclude their conversation, jihoon can’treally rely on his two gryffindor best friends.

the feeling jihoon harbors for daniel doesn’treally need immediate actions because: a) he’s only fifteen, and b) daniel is super popular with newest case in point;this weekend he’s taking 7th year hufflepuff beauty lavinia gallagher tohogsmeade. jihoon knows mainly because the universe works that way, just whenjihoon could breathe a little bit after finding out the 8th year ravenclawisn’t daniel’s special someone, of course he has to run to daniel’s broad,broad shoulders on honeydukes. he loses his grip on a basket full of chocolatesworth a couple of galleons, and of course daniel and lavinia are both goodwizard and witch who help jihoon putting them all back into the basket whilewoojin and jinyoung snickering loudlyfrom somewhere behind.

“jihoon-ah,” daniel says, forever smellinglike the sweetest vanilla even though he’s standing in the middle of a sweetsshop. “as usual, huh?” he quips, knowing it too well that due to theirquarter-veela blood, the park brothers basically feed on chocolates fornutrition.

jihoon swallows. he dares to look up for oneblink of an eye before smiling to the general direction of lavinia gallagher’sbeautiful black locks. he tells himself that he’s still growing and that hewill be taller than daniel in no time at all, but looking at sungwoon-hyung’sheight progress at the age of seventeen… maybe not.

“hi,” jihoon croaks out, addressing laviniagallagher. “park jihoon, fifth year slytherin.”

“hi, yes, you’re so pretty!” laviniagallagher says, thankfully not in a high-pitched voice. come to think of it,daniel never dated annoying girls before, like, he never dated the kind ofgirls who wouldn’t help putting jihoon’s chocoaltes back into the basket. “thisis my first time looking at you from this close. your skin is sooo amazing. cani shake your hand?”

this isn’t new though. jihoon is pretty. if he wasn’t so smitten withdaniel he would have been on his -nth boyfriends or girlfriends already, butno. he’s rejected a number of innocent dates coming from a variety of hogwartsstudents, older or younger, and from random teenagers whenever his familyhaving a summer vacation somewhere in the muggle world. sungwoon, on the otherhand, has had a number of bad dates he recently vowed to focus on his study sohe could become a healer.

lavinia gallagher’s hand is so soft, thefingers are skinny and her nails are shiny. not unlike jihoon’s, to be honest,and jihoon wonders how to get daniel to hold his hand.

“it’s nice to meet you.” lavinia gallaghersays, and jihoon nods, feeling heat crawling up to his cheeks.

“are you alone?” daniel asks, arms bulgingfrom under his black sweater as he puts his hands in the pockets of his jeans.

jihoon swallows again and manages to answer,“no, i’m with woojin and jinyoung. they’re somewhere.” he wishes he’s got acamera ready to immortalize daniel’s look today. he’s so big and sturdy and healthy.

“good,” daniel hums, “alright then. shall weget going?” he asks lavinia gallagher, who nods and slips her left arm to thecrook of daniel’s elbow. the smile daniel gives to her breaks jihoon’s heart alittle.

“see you around, jihoon-ah.” daniel says, andjihoon would have preferred him not patting his head because the small gesturealways kills him everytime, but it’s too late anyway. at least laviniagallagher seems nice and sweet.

sungwoon doesn’t know.

jihoon is careful. he never asks about who’sdaniel currently dating, because he has woojin and jinyoung for that. but hedoes ask about daniel’s likes and dislikes, casually asking the question duringtutoring session or generally paying attention whenever he gets to hang outwith the two of them.

at one point of their entwined lives, jihoonwonders if his older brother ever had a feeling of something more for daniel.if, one of the reasons why sungwoon accepting a series of unfortunate baddates, was because he couldn’t have daniel’s romantic interest, resulting inhim looking for a poor subsitute in the form of overly-possessive boys oroverly-jealous girls. but sungwoon never says anything and jihoon never asks.

“—iel told me he’s waiting for your papercrane for his upcoming match against slytherin.”

jihoon blinks.

he’s in the library. sungwoon is seated rightin front of him, caramel colored hair reflecting the afternoon sun as hescribbles his muggle studies homework. the dipping ink of his quill is runningout and jihoon asks as he switches his jar with sungwoon’s, “what was it,hyung?”

“huh?” sungwoon raises his head from theparchment, golden-framed glasses slipping on his nose. “what?”

“you said something about daniel-hyung?”

“oh, yeah. he asked for your paper crane. thematch against slytherin is this saturday, remember?”

jihoon smiles, not caring that sungwoon isseated right in front him. sungwoon chuckles at the sight, and can’t help butto coo, “it’s so cute that you guys are still exchanging handmade good luckcharms. it was him who taught you to make paper crane, right?”

it’s true. jihoon likes to think that evenbefore he understands it, even before daniel became so popular and thereforebecame everyone else’s, the two of them already established something that’ssolely theirs; jihoon and his papercranes for whenever daniel is going to have a quidditch match, and daniel withhis paper bunnies for jihoon’s upcoming exams week. jihoon keeps the colorfulcrafts in a locked box situated in the top drawer next to his bed, about adozen of them, one for ever exams week he’s gone through, the only thing woojinand jinyoung never bring up to humiliate jihoon because they know how important those paper bunniesare.

“tell daniel-hyung i will get give it to himtomorrow,” jihoon sighs, feeling lighter at the mere thought of daniel caringenough about their tradition to ask about it to sungwoon. he gets a new wave ofdetermination to finish his own history of magic homework and asks sungwoon’shelp to revise his essay on the politics behind ‘giant wars’.

*

jihoon fell asleep after his history of magicessay got a ton of revision from sungwoon, and he forgot to make the papercrane for daniel. he wakes up late, but thankfully hyungseob saved him a plateof big breakfast because they’re going to need the energy to concentrate onprofessor binns class this morning.

he manages to make one paper crane, black, inbetween spoonful of bacon and sausage, and he catches daniel just in time asthe older boy makes his way out of the great hall with woojin and the rest ofgryffindor quidditch team members in tow.

jihoon elbows woojin’s side as a greeting andbeams at daniel.

“daniel-hyung!” he grabs daniel’s right handand gently places the paper crane on daniel’s palm. “good luck for tomorrow.you know who i’m rooting for.”

daniel’s eyes disappear and jihoon alwayswants to kiss the mole underneath his right eye whenever he smiles like that.

“thanks,” daniel says, ruffling jihoon’shair, killing jihoon just a little bit more.

“always, hyung.” jihoon doesn’t even care ifhe’s being transparent and daniel pinches his chin before he bids goodbye.

today is supposed to be just another fridaymorning before a quidditch match between two rival houses plus a dragging history of magic class for jihoon, but of coursethe universe works in a mysterious way. especially with how woojin hissing tojihoon’s left ear, his satoori onlycoming out whenever he’s excited like this,

“dude, thosepaper cranes are from ya?! listen, daniel-hyung casts diminuendo charm to it right before any match and he has this heartshaped locket filled with—i dunno, fiftiesof ‘em? he kisses the locket beforethe match and right after he catches the golden snitch! hissuperstition is so cute we’re always teasin’ him about it! jesus christ, parkjihoon! do ya understand what ’m implying?”
