where your eyes linger

The song that reminded me the most of Where Your Eyes Linger was Between Us (헷갈리게) by CNBLUE. Like that song literally screamed gay angst and confusion and pining and yearning and just not knowing what to do, whether to start something or just end it before you get heartbroken. It's just *clenches fist* so poignant. Gawd.

Sooooooooo the lyrics go something like this

헷갈리게 뭔데 왜 이래

헷갈리게 자꾸 뭔데

내가 왜 이래

(this starting packs a punch where the question “You confuse me, what is this? You confuse me, what is this? Why am I being like this?” which basically constitutes the major portion WYEL: questioning and resisting. The song throws this song into the void and it hangs, with tension and no solution)

매일 아침 습관처럼 연락하고

끊어질 듯 말 듯한

답장에 답장을 해

사실 반은 기억도 안 나

(lit. translation: Talking to each other in the morning like it’s a habit, I reply to the reply that seem to be the last, actually, I don’t even remember half of it)

(other sites have it down as “I reach out to you every morning like it’s a habit” which makes sense here because THEY SLEEP ON THE SAME BED, GAWD, and we’re shown multiple shots of them reaching out to each other, not specifically in the morning, but still. And their communication is clipped and ambiguous, ready to be dissected by peeps like us who find homoerotic subtext every-damn-where.)

마치 우린 연애하던 사람들보다

서로를 잘 알았고

확실한 듯 확신한 듯

서로를 부르는 말도 있어

(now this verse right here is what makes me scream like a banshee while thinking about all the scenes in WYEL where Tae Joo and Kang Gook just look at each other lovingly while calling smiling or just having an intense stare moment. This verse literally translates to “more than those who are dating, we understood each other and as if we’re certain, we even have nicknames for each other”. For those who went to WYEL again and again, just to obsess and cry over that scene in the beginning where Tae Joo rubs his head on Kang Gook’s chest while whining, “darling, I don’t wanna go to England” and him calling Kang Gook “darling”, “oppa” and just plainly “Gook-a”, this verse hits right in the solar plexus. Coz that’s what they are, not dating yet understanding each other on a deeper level, being each other’s best friend/soulmate)

Umm 그냥 이 거리를 즐기는 걸까

장난보다는 너무 중요해 네가

이게 우리 둘의 끝일까 시작일까

(ANGST!!!!!! This translates to “are we just enjoying this distance? It’s more than playing around, you’re important to me. Is this our ending or the beginning?” aadjajhdkfdffjdkfgjf gawwwwdddddd. To think that these 2 spent 15 years together without getting any farther or closer, at a safe distance, enjoying each other’s company yet never getting too close to burn each other with their heat. Reminds me of when Kang Gook was actively hostile and aggressive and angsty when he was figuring out his feelings for Tae Joo, and his constant warnings to Tae Joo, “don’t provoke me, don’t do this” even as a joke. Because for Gook, Tae Joo matters and more than any joke or game. And let’s not even talk about how the last line of this verse hits close; is this the ending of their relationship as they know it, which is scary, or is this the beginning of something different, something better, which is equally frightening)

헷갈리게 뭔데 왜 이래

애매한 우리 온도가

헷갈리게 자꾸 뭔데

내가 왜 이래

애매한 우리 사이가

(aaaannnddddd we’re right back to the question that is the result of all these mixed feelings and emotions that these two experience. “it’s confusing – what’s going on? Our ambiguous/awkward temperature, why am I like this, our unclear relationship” which sums up TJ and KG perfectly!!!! They are going through a turbulent time, figuring out what they mean to each other, seeing each other in a new light, questioning themselves and their feelings for each other)

널 보면 숨 막혀

널 봐야 숨을 쉬어

어떻게 해야 돼

(MY FAV LINES FROM THIS SONG!!!!

“when I see you, my breath hitches/I can’t breath; only when I see you that I can breathe, what am I to do?” read these lines and tell me, TELL ME, they don’t remind you of TJ and KG. bring up all those scenes where KG just freezes when he looks at TJ, in various states of vulnerability)

우리 지금 뭔데

내가 왜 이래

답을 알 것 같은데

답을 말을 못해 지금 난

(“what are we right now? Why am I like this? I think I know the answer but I can’t say it right now” I . am . ded. This strongly reminds of that scene, where TJ has KG pinned down and he’s fuming coz KG is pretending not to notice what’s going on between them and it’s FRUSTRATING, and then he goes, “LET’S CONFIRM IT” akahsjhsjhfgdfjfgdgddasshghdgfdj oh my god.)

가끔 우린 대화 중에 자연스럽게

서로를 터치하고

묘한 눈빛 묘한 공기

속에서 우린 남겨졌어

(this.verse.right.here.killed.me. “sometimes when we talk, we naturally touch each other, the way you look at me/curious gaze, this odd atmosphere, we’re in this situation” this is how we see TJ and KG are with each other, all the time. TAE JOO’S EAR FLICK. They casually have skinship with each other, and slowly they’re becoming aware of how curious, how exquisite their gazes are.)

Umm 더 뜨겁게 너를 느끼고 싶다

뜨거워져도 감당할 수 있을까

이게 우리 둘의 끝일까 시작일까

(“I want to feel you more passionately, but will I be able to handle it?”

let’s just leave this here like this)

Girl boy you got me

Seeing double

Don't know why

You're so much trouble

날 쥐고 흔들어 더

그런 너라도 좋으니까

(this is definitely how KG feels about TJ. “you hold me and leave me shaken, I still like you though” even though TJ acts like a brat, KG has this affectionate look in his eyes, WHICH MELTS ME INTO A PUDDLE OF UWU)

답을 알 것 같은데

답을 말을 못해 지금 난

답을 알 것 같은데

답을 말을 못해 지금 난

(the song ends on an ambiguous note, “I thing I know the answer but I can’t say it right now” and trust me, I imagine the last episode just after this line, when they finally fall into each other’s arms, their feelings finally on the same wavelength)

(I’m gonna go rewatch it and crie all over again)

[📰] [ENTREVISTA | INTERVIEW] P1Harmony 피원하모니

By BA NA NA

October 2020 arrived with one of the most anticipated male debuts in the music industry, P1Harmony 피원하모니, whose performance marked FNC Entertainment’s first boy group four years after SF9.

In BA NA NA we have been able to speak with P1Harmony after their successful debut with DISHARMONY: STAND OUT and the premiere of an apocalyptic film that has shown different facets of its six members. They have told us about their experience preparing for debut, some of their hidden talents, or what it has been like to debut at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Do you want to know what they have told us? Keep going BA NA NA!

KEEHO, THEO, JIUNG, INTAK, SOUL, and JONGSEOB are the members of P1Harmony, the new boy group from FNC Entertainment that was performing on October 28, 2020 with their first mini album. However, their music debut with DISHARMONY: STAND OUT did not come alone, and before we were presented with the movie P1H: A New World Begins.

The film came with the boys as the leads, but also with the presence of CNBLUE’s Jung Jin Young and Jung Yong Hwa, AOA’s Seolhyun, Jo Jae Yoon, Choi Yeo Jin, Lee Chae Yoon, and cameos from Jung Hae In and Yoo Jae Suk. It premiered at the beginning of October to let us know the universe of P1Harmony and that they later developed in their debut video clip, SIREN.

Thanks to that we were able to get to know them better and prepare for the beginning of their professional career. In the P1Harmony interview exclusively with BA NA NA they tell us about the process of recording this film, its debut, and its objective. Do not miss it!

We have known your music debut with DISHARMONY: STAND OUT,, but before that we were able to see in you in the film P1H: A New World Begins. How was the experience? Any anecdotes you’d like to share with us? Will we be able to learn more about the concept of the film in your future projects?

THEO: I am more than happy to debut with a film. It was the very first-time filming and acting for all of us. We were really nervous. In the film, the drones represent the disharmony of society which is related to the albums that we’ll show in the future.

SOUL: I wanted to film a movie since way back, so I was very happy to film it. When I first went to the movie set, I was so nervous because it was my first time. At the time of filming, the weather was so cold that I had a lot of hot packs, and by the end of the day, at least three of them were in my pocket.

It’s been four years since we met a new boy group from FNC Entertainment and we’ve known about your debut for a year. How was the debut process? How has it changed your life?

JIUNG: In the debut process, everything was a part of my first experience, so I was very nervous. I was especially nervous when filming, but now that I think about it, I think it was part of the learning process. And in the case of changes in life, as I started working, I felt more responsible. After our profile and videos were released, many people were interested in us and left comments which made me realize that I’ve really become an idol. I felt more responsible.

You all participated in the creation of the album by writing some of the songs. How was it? How did the ideas come up?

INTAK: Not only me, but as well as all membes including JONGSEOB was able to join in writing lyrics for our songs in our firstr album. We were very honored and thankful to our company. When I’m working on writing the lyrics for songs, I tend to focus on the material. For example, in the case of ‘Nemonade,’ I thought of keywords which were related such as lemons, freshness, and square. In the case of ‘Intro: Breakthrough,’ the words were walls, surrounded by and I’ve tried to look for more as I worked on writing the lyrics. I also add on what I have in mind when writing lyrics for the songs.

Any artist can’t forget their debut. What moment do you think you will always remember?

JONGSEOB: I think it was the day of our debut showcase. It was the day when P1Harmony officially had our debut and it was a special day where we were able to showcase different stages including our title track ‘SIREN’ which we worked hard for.

You debuted just a month ago, and there are sttill many ssecrets to discover about each of you. Do you have any special skills? (Cooking, playing an instrument, sports...)

THEO: I can play a little bit of piano and guitar. I did not formally learn it or take lessons, but I was very interested in music since I was young, so I’ve naturally learned it while looking at it. In case of sports, I’ve learned swimming, bowling, and volleyball.

JIUNG: I think it would be cooking. I try to cook when there’s time, but sinnce we are performing these days it is hard to cook. However, I remember that I used to cook and eat a lot before. For musical instruments, I can play a bit of piano and guitar. When it comes to sports, I’m good at Frisbee! I remember getting praised a lot for good throws in the past. (Haha)

2020 has been a year marked by COVID-19 at a global scale. Many artists and musical professionals have not been able to meet with their fans. How have you dealt with it being your debut? Have you been able to reach your fans in another way?

KEEHO: It’s really sad. Performing in front of fans has been my dream and it currently is up to now. However, due to the current situation where it is difficult for us to meet, I try to find alternative ways to communicate with our fans through our SNS, lives, and video call fansigns, and etc.

Let’s talk about the future...what would you say ir you goal as a group and as individuals for each of you? What is your dream?

INTAK: I think our goal as a group is to convey good influence to the world. As an artist who really wants to convey our meaning and message to the world, I hope that people will be able to be influenced positively through our songs and albums. My personal goal is to be a great person who will be remembered in history.

SOUL: Our goal is a group is to look good, but I hope we can work longer than other teams. My personal goal is to win first place in dance battle.

Can you send a message to your fans in Spain?

KEEHO: I wanted to say thank you for supporting us from afar and loving us. We’ll continue to show our best. Please look forward to it. If things get better, we would like to visit Spain and perform in front of you all. We love you.

JONGSEOB: Hi Spanish fans! Thank you for supporting and loving us from afar. We will work hard to show you how we develop so please stay tuned for us. If things get better, we would like to meet you in person and perform for you! Thank you for loving us from Spain and me, JONGSEOB, and P1Harmony loves you too!

A Christmas Date

Summary: When Minhyuk finally convinced you to see his band play this Christmas, you were hesitant to allow your heart to be swayed any more than it already had been.

Pairing: Kang Minhyuk x reader (ft. CNBLUE)

Genre: Christmas au / fluff / co-workers to lovers au

A/N: Welcome to Christmas in July! This mini collab with @this-song-thats-only-for-you has been so much fun to create! Since Minhyuk’s birthday was the same day as Daehyun’s, I chose to write for him now. And I hope @noona-clock doesn’t mind, whenever I think of Jungshin/CNBLUE, I naturally think of her story Something’s Brewing and so a couple of details in this stem from that world. I highly recommend you go read that story if you haven’t some time!

Word count: 3754

“You’ll be there, right?”

Glancing up to meet Minhyuk’s expectant gaze, you smiled weakly. “Christmas in the Park? Listen, Minhyuk, I-”

“You’re not going to ditch me again, are you?” he intervened, shooting you a pout. Oh god, not the pout. He then grinned and your heart began to thump noisily in your chest.

You were doomed.

Working with Kang Minhyuk was a blessing and a curse. You hadn’t expected when the tall man walked into your florist one day with a resume under his arm that you would be struggling this much six months later. He was capable in every way, and whilst that meant you could trust him to ensure that business went well whenever you weren’t in the shop, it also made you aware of all his little mannerisms. How his smiles were able to make everyone who walked into the store feel a little weak at the knee, his arrangement skills impressing even the most sceptical of people that flowers could be more than just beautiful. He was polite yet playful, generous with his skills and his time, and incredibly thoughtful.

How such a man existed, you weren’t sure, and knowing that he had other talents in life seemed completely unfathomable. It was highly unfair that Minhyuk was able to do so much, remain humble and be utterly gorgeous on top of all of that.

And that was why you had a hard time accepting doing anything with him outside of work.

“Y/N,” he called, the slight whine in his voice making you wish for the ground to open up and swallow you whole, and yet you wanted to relish in the sound for the rest of your life as well. It was ridiculous the effect Minhyuk had over you, and as his boss, you struggled with maintaining the incredibly fine line between being professional and falling at his feet.

“I don’t do well in crowds,” you mumbled feebly and whilst it was the truth, it was an excuse and he knew it.

“You’ll have fun, I promise. I’ll make sure that you’re with Jungshin’s girlfriend, Becky, the whole time. She’ll look after you; she’s a seasoned pro at coming to our gigs and at avoiding being stuck in sticky crowd situations. Plus you promised me. This is a huge deal for me and I want you there!”

Staring up at Minhyuk, you could tell you were blushing at that last sentence. Why did he want you there? You knew if you went it would be game over for your heart. He was passionate about his music, that much you could already tell. And with how much you had already fallen for Minhyuk within this garden bed of roses, you knew if you stepped outside with him, away from what you knew, that it would be impossible to maintain your working relationship. Seeing Minhyuk out of this florist could make it harder for you to see him in it the next time. And with it being so close to Christmas, well, you needed him. Orders were only going peak over the next week, and he really did the best arrangements.

“It’s Christmas time, where’s your generous spirit, huh?” You huffed at his question and he chuckled, knowing he was getting under your skin. “I’m not going to let you get out of this, Y/N. You told me that you’d come to see us perform before the end of the year.”

“I have no choice?” you asked and Minhyuk nodded firmly. “What will you do if you make me come and I don’t enjoy your music?” He was genuinely surprised by your statement though he recovered quickly, laughing as he nudged you playfully. “What will you do if you love it?”

You would die, you were certain of it. But you couldn’t tell him that, smiling softly to yourself instead. “I guess there’s only one way to find out.”

“So you’ll come?!”

Ignoring the puppy-like excitement now filling his features, you nodded once, confirming your attendance.

Though you were truly worried about what you had gotten yourself into.

The day of the event, you had attempted to get out of going. Your bedroom looked like a riot had gone off within it; clothing was strewn across your bed from countless deliberation of what to wear. You didn’t know how to dress for such an outing and since this would be your first time appearing in Minhyuk’s world not as his boss and fellow colleague, you were conflicted further. What if you wore something that he would tease you about on Monday? You were so used to wearing blouses and dress pants or dresses in his company that you almost opted for one of your work attires just to ease some of your anxiety. Yet, Christmas in the Park was an outdoor music event, and you would be spending quite a number of hours out in the cool wintry air.

That left you with not a lot of fashionable pieces to extenuate and to opt for comfort over style. You still wanted to look good, however, scolding yourself for wanting to make a good impression on not only Minhyuk but his friends too. This wasn’t a date, and yet your brain was convincing you otherwise. Settling on your favourite pair of jeans, a woollen jumper, your dress coat and a pair of boots, you fumbled your way through your makeup, picking up your phone and writing multiple renditions of plausible excuses to Minhyuk along the way. You felt uneasy as you did your hair, worrying that you would look clearly older than him and his friends. What would they think of you as his boss? It was nerve-wracking and when your phone suddenly went off in your hand as you thought over how to word being sick in a believable way for the umpteenth time, you shrieked. Managing to only drop the device into your lap and not onto the floor, you retrieved it and opened up the message you had received.

1:13pm Minhyuk: You better not think of a single excuse to send me. I’ll see you at three!

Groaning at his innate ability to read you even this far apart, you sent him back a can’t wait response and stared at your reflection before letting out a big sigh.

You could do this.

Arriving at the park that the event was being held at, you were pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere. It was your first time attending the event, normally opting to remain indoors when it was this cold. Despite the crowds that were already forming, it seemed more welcoming than you expected. Families were setting up their designated spots and fuelling their children with hot food and drinks from their packed bags, and wrapping blankets over their legs. Teens gathered together by the edge of the stage gossiping about the hottest bands that would be attending tonight. Adults like yourself seemed to be relieved for a break from the office and to socialise with ease among their peers, and even elders were set up in camping chairs, discussing how many years they had been attending the event. You eased somewhat until you heard your name being called.

You turned, Minhyuk jogging over to your side with a grin plastered over his face. You mirrored his expression, blinking a couple of times as you took in his attire. Without thinking too much about it, you reached out for his bare arms and chastised him. “Where’s your jacket, aren’t you cold?”

“Oh, I left it backstage, we just had rehearsal before and I got a little hot,” he explained, his gaze on your hand. You slipped it back and he dug his hands deep into his jeans pockets, his skin now flushed. You assumed it was due to the cold and his sudden approach toward you and wrapped your hand around your other wrist, rocking back on the small heel of your boot. Minhyuk cleared his throat and grinned again. “I’m glad you came.”

“Me too.”

“I was expecting some kind of excuse about being too sick to get out of bed,” he continued and you snapped your gaze up to his, shaking your head profusely, hoping you didn’t let on that was exactly what you had been attempting to do.

“Of course not, you told me to have some Christmas spirit, so here I am. Though, are you just performing Christmas songs tonight?”

Minhyuk chuckled, shaking his head. “There will be some groups that do, and at the end of the show there’s a big Christmas medley happening, but most people are just singing their own songs.”

“Oh, so I’ll get to hear what CNBLUE is all about?”

“You will,” Minhyuk assured, his smile ever-present. And then he seemed to process a thought, launching forward to grab your hand and pulled you towards backstage. Focusing on remaining upright and not on how warm his hand was on yours despite the low temperature outside, you were shuffled past various people and tasks going on in the bustling atmosphere backstage until you came to a stop in a waiting area that was for Minhyuk’s group. Immediately you were greeted by a great voice, your movement stilling as you listened to the way the man sang.

“Yonghwa, Y/N’s here,” Minhyuk mentioned and the man you had just been in awe over stopped singing, turning to see you there. He grinned, coming over to shake your hand enthusiastically. And that was how your greetings with Minhyuk’s friends went. Yonghwa was loud and vivacious, much like his voice was. Jonghyun greeted you with a smile and Jungshin teased Minhyuk for bringing his boss to his work for the night. It was then that you met Becky, who not only reminded her boyfriend of where they once met before dating and then came over to your side and shyly reached out to befriend you. Her reaction eased you immediately and you relaxed into the new company, soon forgetting all about your worries of coming tonight.

“We’ll go out and get a spot by the stage,” Becky announced and you waved the men off, following Becky back out and finding a spot that had a great view of the stage without being too close.

Becky then smiled at you and you returned the gesture. “Thanks for looking out for me.”

“It’s no problem. I remember the first gig I went to, though it was in a small bar. They’ve come a long way to do stages like this.”

“So they’re really good then?”

Becky blinked. “You haven’t heard their music yet? They have albums out.”

“Uh, no, this will be my first time.”

“Well, you’re in for a treat. They’re really talented,” Becky grinned. “Oh, and I’m not saying that even though I have the opportunity to be biased. All four members are amazing at what they do. Their music is the kind that gets right into your soul and makes you addicted.”

“Ah,” you said with a nod of your head, hopeful that you would be able to agree with her evaluation when the night was over.

Becky looked at you for a moment and then smiled again when you caught her eye. “You know, this is the first time Minhyuk’s invited anyone to see him play.”

“Really?”

“He talks about you too. You must be a really good friend to him.”

You contemplated her assumption, wrestling with disbelief. You eventually shook your head. “I’m just his boss.”

“I doubt that,” Becky refuted and then pointed to the stage. “Oh, here they come!”

Much like the attitude backstage, Yonghwa was vibrant and hooked the crowd immediately. And when Minhyuk held up his drumsticks before dropping them to start the beat, you were a goner.

Becky was right; you didn’t know who you were by the time the first song was over. Although you didn’t remember the names of the songs, you attempted to take in every detail, whilst your eyes frequently soaked in Minhyuk in his element. This was unlike in the florist. On stage, he seemed to shine brightly, his smiles as effortless as his skills were. You gasped when he started singing the backups as he continued to drum away and you glanced at Becky, her energetic nod telling you that she understood.

CNBLUE was definitely addictive.

When their set finished, you felt as if your body had become heavy. You were rooted to the spot, the ringing of the last part of the set replaying within your mind. It was Becky who nudged you out of your stupor, tugging you along with her to go find the members backstage. You needed more time, more air, maybe a drink of water to sober up, but before you knew it, you were in front of the four men, Becky leaving your side to hug Jungshin affectionately.

“So, what did you think?” Yonghwa asked and Jonghyun chuckled.

“Give her a chance to process it.”

“Why does she need time? Y/N either liked it or disliked it,” Yonghwa continued, turning back to face you. Smiling gently, you nodded a couple of times.

“I liked it.”

“Liked what, which part?” Yonghwa pulled you to sit down and eagerly waited for your response which was hard to formulate.

“Let her breathe,” Jungshin instructed and nudged Minhyuk pointedly.

You watched as the man you knew the most retreated. You had expected him to be like Yonghwa, after all these weeks of asking you to come see him play. It seemed surreal to see him hesitate, reserved with his approach. His usual smile was missing and you stared at him a little longer before turning back to Yonghwa and answering his questions as best as you could.

The night was still young, and yet you were wondering more about Minhyuk’s thoughts right up until the time you eventually crawled into bed.

You hoped he would share them with you when you next saw him.

Monday morning arrived and you were a mixture of emotions to see Minhyuk again. He had texted you the day before, thanking you for coming to the concert and spending your night with Becky and the members. It seemed odd that his reaction was so formal when you had been laughing and enjoying yourself within his friends’ company until you had gone home. And yesterday you had followed all their social media accounts, grinning when everyone followed you back. You had downloaded the content that you could purchase online, and spent the day cleaning your home and bopping along to CNBLUE. Even on your way to work, you were singing along to Between Us, having played the song so much you could almost sing it word for word.

But now that you were in your usual setting, your mood seemed to resolve, resuming back to the quiet and polite version of yourself. You greeted your supplier gently, carrying in boxes of fresh flowers one after the other until on your final run; they were taken out of your arms.

You blinked. “Minhyuk.”

“Good morning,” he greeted softly, carrying the carton into the back room and opening them up to see what needed to go in which floral cooler.

You stood at the edge of the bench, wondering what to say.

“What did you do yesterday?”

Minhyuk didn’t look up. “Mostly just relaxed.”

“I downloaded your music,” you blurted out and he paused in shifting a box of lilies into the cooler. You took it as a sign to continue. “I really like it.”

“I’m glad.”

“Are you?” you retorted, staring at him as he stood back to his full height. Neither of you spoke and yet you could tell he had a lot to say.

“Hello, is your store open yet?” a voice called out and broke the spell, Minhyuk stepping around you and going out to serve the customer.

It was like that for the rest of the morning, both edging around what happened on Saturday, yet neither coming out with anything productive to say. It was driving you mad and by the time Minhyuk had gone to take his lunch break, you were completely frustrated.

“Why invite me out if he’s going to be this awkward with me?” you scoffed, arranging a Christmas themed bouquet with a little more vigour than usual. “I should have made an excuse after all. Hanging out with his boss clearly was a bad choice on his behalf.”

You grumbled for a few more minutes, your frustration shifting towards despair. It was hard not to feel a sense of rejection. Although you had been invited out as a friend, you had hoped for some kind of reaction from Minhyuk to understand why he had asked you to come. Did he want to be more than just co-workers? Or was he just proud of his achievements and wanted to show you? None of it made sense and as you unravelled some ribbon, you thought of the worst.

“Did I embarrass him? Did I say something wrong to his friends?”

“You did nothing wrong.”

You squeaked at the sudden reappearance of Minhyuk, snipping the ribbon blindly and catching your finger in the process. Your hand was immediately within his and Minhyuk led you out the back, right over to the sink and ran the water over the wound.

“Keep it under the water whilst I prepare the band-aid.”

“It’s not that bad,” you mentioned but the look he gave you made you push your hand back under the flowing water. Minhyuk then reached for your hand and wrapped a towel around it to gently pat it dry.

As he dealt with the wound, you sighed. “Why did you invite me to the event if you were going to be like this with me?”

“I didn’t know I would struggle either.”

“You’re struggling?” you asked and the vulnerable emotion within his eyes was quickly removed much like the backing of the band-aid was. “With what?”

Focusing on his handiwork now that the band-aid was over your wound, Minhyuk continued to hold your hand. You went to pull away but he gripped on. “With how much I like you.”

“Me?” you echoed and Minhyuk nodded. “You like me? Me?”

A small smile played upon his lips. “Should I not?”

“No… well yes. I mean, why would you like me?” you babbled and Minhyuk laughed softly, capturing your attention. You stared up at him, your confusion softening. “You like me? Since when?”

“Since I first met you.”

“But wait, that was…”

“Seven months ago.”

You frowned. “I hired you six months ago.”

“I know but we met before then.” You didn’t respond and Minhyuk smiled. “I was a customer before I chose to try my luck and get a job here. I did need a new job. Working with Jungshin at the coffee shop wasn’t really working out for me when I would have to go to band practice after work too. And I genuinely do like working with flowers too.”

“You came here pointedly?” you breathed and Minhyuk nodded. “Because of me?”

He nodded again. “You mean, I’ve spent all this time trying to avoid how I felt when you’ve been here because of me?”

“To be fair, I wanted to get to know you first. Sure, I could have asked you out on a date as a customer,” Minhyuk mused and then grinned at your still startled expression. “But with how hard it’s been to actually get you to come out with me, I doubt you would have accepted my request from that position.”

“I’m still back at the part where you came here with the intention of getting to know me.”

Minhyuk finally let go of your hand and you blinked away from your reverie, a slight ache within your hand now that he wasn’t holding it.

Logically, that was probably due to the injury you had sustained.

“Seeing you out of the florist was overwhelming for me. And then how easily you fitted in with my friends, I could see this becoming something regular. I wasn’t prepared to cope with how much I felt on Saturday. That’s why I was quieter.”

“Oh.”

“Oh?” he repeated and sighed. “Just oh?”

“You’re the one announcing you have feelings for me, how am I meant to react?”

Minhyuk was thoughtful for a moment and then leaned down into your face, smiling brightly. You blinked repeatedly, unsure if you should step back or grip onto him with how giddy you suddenly felt. “Will you come out with me again if I ask you, Y/N?”

“Where to? I thought that was the last performance you had scheduled for the year.”

He nodded.

“Then?”

“On a date, just you and me this time. They say that dating around Christmas time is much more magical than any other time of the year.”

You eyed him carefully, the smile on your lips forming slowly. “Really, why’s that?”

“Because it’s the season where dreams come true.”

“That’s really cheesy,” you told him with a giggle and Minhyuk pulled you into an embrace, your laughter startled into hiccups.

“I know, but you seem like the type to enjoy cliché romance like this.”

“Where the girl gets the really attractive guy that everyone fawns over?”

Minhyuk chuckled within the embrace. “Not everyone fawns over me.”

“Oh really? Have you seen how our clients react when you start smiling and pointing out flowers? I’m sure half of them would prefer to purchase you then the bouquets they walk out of here with!”

“Are you jealous?” he wondered with a smirk and you tried to slip out of the embrace Minhyuk held you within, your answer evident by your actions. “There’s only one person who I have eyes for, and it’s definitely not a client.”

“One date?” you surmised and Minhyuk gaped at you.

“I’m holding you in my arms; do you think we’re only going on one date?”

“Two dates?”

“If you’re trying to protect yourself from thinking I’ll suddenly change my mind, might I remind you I got this job because I liked you. I haven’t changed my mind since.”

“You’re blinded by the beauty of this place,” you complained and Minhyuk nodded softly.

“Because you’re here.”

You wondered if dating Minhyuk would be a blessing and a curse as well. But admittedly, you were hopeful that the Christmas spirit would help you out a little with that magic. Because you wanted this dream to remain a reality for a long time.
