• lai kuanlin, everyone loved him. everyone.

• you never understood what was so great about him; yeah he was the basketball teams captain. and?

• he was the poster child of the school, no matter how much it could’ve been anyone else

• it was him

• maybe you despised him because he didn’t have to try so hard (or so you’re lead to believe)

• you just never saw why everyone adored him; even your best friend jihoon was good friends with him

• it made your blood boil at how angry he made you

• kuanlin was actually your friend in middle school

• until he joined the stupid basketball team in the eighth grade

• then he stopped hanging out with you

• then he began to tease you for every little thing you could list

• but he mainly teased you about your height and how its a disadvantage and blah blah blah this and blah blah blah that

• kuanlin’s reasoning was actually absurd

• he’d snark rude remarks at you, anything to make you argue with him

• he actually enjoyed this a lot

• you thought he’d grow up at some point (not physically he’s literally a BUILDING RN)

• but he never changed, even now in junior year

• and that’s what made you upset with him the most, how he just forgot about you and all your memories together

• you hated him so much, you would never forgive him

• or so you tell yourself

• but even now to this day, you still miss his antics. your trips to get ice cream when school got out, the way hed pat your head cause he wanted to show his affection

• you missed him even if you didn’t want to believe it

• you are snapped out of your thoughts when you hear someone calling your name

• you look up to see jihoon, your best friend

• hey y/n, are you okay? you kinda spaced out for a bit.

• oh? I did? i couldn’t even tell all that much too be honest

• are you still thinking about .. kuanlin?

• i wish i could tell you no, but he’s been all ive been thinking about since tomorrow is his birthday.

• can’t you talk to him?

• it’s not as easy as it was 3 years ago

• you looked to the ground in defeat, knowing you’d never fix your friendship with kuanlin

• you heard a commotion and turned to see kuanlin and his 'fans' (as you called them) entering the halls

• there was a space for him to walk through without getting bothered, as if he was god

• he would stop in front of you and walk over to you

• hey y/n, do you miss me? you must miss me. i bet you’re probably bored of jihoon now? kuanlin would snark at you, enjoying your anger more than you are

• hes been there for me more than you have in the past 4 years. how would i get bored of him? and kuanlin, I don’t miss you. you said while slamming your locker, dragging jihoon with you

• you ended up at your spot in the gym, your anger going through the roof

• leaning on jihoons shoulder you asked what did I ever do to him? he thinks he’s hot stuff just because he’s the captain, just because everyone loves him. if he only knew they only like him for his image.. if he knew that im one of the only people who likes him for much more than the image he has..

• jihoon rubbed your back while shushing your silent sobs, scared someone would hear you

• someone did hear you, it was mr. captain himself

• he didn’t mean to but his basketball class is next so he gets there extra early to get ready

• kuanlin saw the doors open which was odd but he immediately stopped when he heard sniffling

• he hid under the bleachers to hear your voice... he never admitted to himself but he missed your voice

• he missed being able to be the reason why you were always happy, always having someone to rely on

• kuanlin heard what you said about him and immediately his heart stopped and his mind threw about 100+ thoughts at him

• he wanted to pat your head when you were being cute, he wanted you to be proud of him, he wanted you back to tell him right and wrong

the next day.. kuanlins birthday

• would it be stupid to not go to school because it’s his birthday? yes. is that what you’re about to do? yes.

• actually no, jihoon didn’t let you stay home sigH

• when you both got to school, you saw a single rose attached to your locker with a note

• the rose was yellow, which was your favorite color, and the note said “I always thought you were the better person between us two, see you at the game? x e.l.”

• e.l.? hm

• you showed jihoon the card and he immediately said that you two must go to the game now (despite your wishes)

• it couldn’t have been that bad, right?

later in the day, right when the game starts

• you weren’t a fan on school related activities but jihoon was all for them

• you were so against it because of kuanlin, which was the reason you enjoyed them in the first place

• the irony.. your happiness turned out to be your weakness

• you saw kuanlin and his team making their way out .., kuanlin still looked cool and cute hyping his team up but you remembered that he wasn’t who you were here for

• kuanlin saw you in the stands and he waved at you while smiling

• your brain couldn’t process the situation so you pretended to not see him (jihoon would most definitely make you apologize to kuanlin for acting like that)

• it’s hard to look at him without having your heart acting like it’s running a 5k

• the game began and your school’s team was already doing so well

• you began to wonder if kuanlin was a good leader to them, it seemed like that was the case, seemingly getting a victory almost every game, never seeing any drama; they reflected who kuanlin was, his laidback but caring self

• you smiled remembering when you first met him

• shy as ever, but still so energetic; man did you miss him

• your thoughts were interrupted by a loud buzzer and a bunch of people surrounding someone

• you find out kuanlin has injured himself, most likely spraining or breaking something

• the last bit of common sense in you tells you to stay put but you can’t

• you run to see if he is okay, offering to take him to the infirmary

• on your walk there, the silence becomes rather uncomfortable

• y/n, why did you offer to take me?

• well you were hurt, and i really couldn’t watch you just be hurt and me not do anything about it.

• he smiled a soft smile

• you did as well

• it was comforting talking to him and knowing you could make him do something other than tease you

• this is bad timing but y/n? i really miss you, i miss the presence of you around me. & I heard what you told jihoon about how much i hurt you, I guess i never took that into consideration. im really sorry for everything, leaving you behind when you needed me the most

• you stopped in your tracks opon hearing those words from him

• kuanlin? I got a rose from someone named e.l. was all you could say

• he smiled before speaking, I know you did because I’m e.l., remember when you would never let me live down the name i gave myself when i moved to the us, edward lai?

• you giggled, still finding his English name funny in the slightest way

• it’s still funny .. kuanlin?

• hm?

• thank you for not completely forgetting about me

• he wrapped an arm around you while your heart started to do cartwheels

• y/n, you aren’t just my bestfriend but it’s you. the person i wanna tell everything about first, the person i want to see me grow, the person to teach me right from wrong. I just know it’s you. you’re my person. you’re more than my bestfriend. so much more than that dumb label

• you hugged him but you heard him hiss in pain, forgetting that he’s still injured

• lets get you to the nurse before it gets worse .. and kuanlin? you’re my person too.

• this.. him. he calmed your nerves, he is your rock. & you. you are the person he wants around for life.

[parkwoojin]

happy birthday to our chick, guanlliver, linlin, and precious maknae, lai guanlin! it’s been an honor to see you grow this past year and a half. wannables are always so proud of you, and wishing you nothing but luck, success, happiness, and health in the future!

one year with wanna one 7th august 2017 - 7th august 2018

our time is shining brightly, let’s continue to walk down this golden path together! congratulations on one year of beautiful memories to proudly look back on, wanna one!

thank-you wanna one for your hard work; for always giving us 101% both on and off stage, and retaining the warm hearts you debut with.

thank-you for being wannable’s best friend and cheerleader. from the frequent v lives… attempting foreign languages… writing us poetry... composing and dedicating songs to us… to caring for our health at concerts and fan signs… thank-you for never failing to remind us how precious we are. for always calling the name ‘wannable’ so lovingly.

one year marks the final few months of wanna one. which makes this anniversary even more precious as the first and last anniversary we’ll spend with wanna one as an active group.

becoming wanna one wasn’t easy, and as ‘monster rookies’ you’ve achieved so much in so little time. making history. breaking record after record. running without rest. so for the little time that we have left – let’s continue to succeed without regret. 

succeed in performing safely and happily, in making friendships that will last a lifetime, in everything that you had hoped for when you first joined produce 101. succeed in doing what you love.

to the eleven boys (and men) that weren’t afraid of showing us yourselves even when you’d thought yourself incompetent or lacking... thank-you for never giving up your dreams, for showing us the power of hard work and bravery, and becoming a source of strength for us.

for letting us be part of your journey – to be part of this family, thank-you.

I’m sorry but literally wooseok? baby. I know I’m not the only person that thinks that, everyone in pentagon adores him and treats him as such. they all tease him, hold onto him, play with them like they would a little brother. wooseok himself also likes being treated this way, and takes pride in being called pentagon’s most baby. they always call him cute, look at him with fondness, and shinwon even said “I raised wooseok to be strong.” despite his size, he is actually one of the maknaes in kpop that assume the maknae role perfectly. he likes being the youngest and acts like the youngest. when he was promoting wooseok x kuanlin and told members not to come to the live stage, but shinwon, hui, yanan and yuto went to support him. he’s like “I told you not to come!” but he couldn’t even hide his happiness because he clings onto his hyungs all the time and like being around them. he is such a lovable person that kino and yuto, who are only a few days to a week older absolutely cherish and adore him.
