previously

"Sheesh it's not like you actually will look like a fool anyways at least never to hyung so I don't know why you stress out so much."

He muttered as he caressed his ear and narrowed his eyes at you while cussing you in his mind geez this woman knows how to hurt

You raised an eyebrow, almost in amazement yet disbelief as you scoffed

"He doesn't particularly like me Kangin, did you forget?" Your voice softened at the end with a sad tone lacing it.

Kangin let out a sigh of exhaustion not just because of him being tired due to running around and practicing but also because frankly he was also tired of this.

He was tired to see you beat yourself up because you felt as though you'd were the one doing something wrong

Maybe it's because I smile too much?? Maybe I look inappropriate ?? Or he just-maybe he just doesn't like my presence??

These were some of the questions you'd always ask him to which Kangin would equally be baffled as to how you think someone could dislike you or your presence and he'd always fill in words of reassurance and make sure you knew you were not the one at fault, ever.

No Y/N it'-it's not you okay? It's not you who is fault here i promise, maybe he's just in a bad mood but don't you dare blame yourself for him not treating you right okay?

He'd told those words previously when he you first asked him those questions but honestly he was fed up of this and could tell this had to be changed.

Turning his head towards where Guesung stood, he narrowed his eyes and scanned his expression.

Guesung stood talking to Heungmin, they both looked like they were in a serious conversation judging from their serious faces so he thought it wasn't right to approach his hyung at that moment.

You stood there eyes shifting following Kangin's gaze and saw he seemed to be in his mind at the moment as he narrowed his eyes at...Guesung?

You raised an eyebrow out of curiosity now trying to wander what kind of thoughts could he possibly having right now that seemed to make him more and more frustrated.

Just as you were about to speak up, he suddenly jerked his entire body in your direction and stood directly in front of you now, staring you right in your eyes.

You got taken aback a bit as you stared at his mocha brown eyes that swirled with many emotions, though you couldn't quite put a figure in either as they all seemed to be a mix of annoyance, judging from his slightly crunched eyebrows, but his lip forming a small pout as though he was desperate to let out whatever he had just been thinking off.

You almost wanted to giggle because it just looked like he was a cute little puppy who got hurt but you suppressed it and stared at him in anticipation to go on.

"Y/N." He called in a deeper voice then usual, a professional tone you suppose to make what he was about to say sound absolutely serious.

"Mhm?" Letting out a hum of approval for him to go on

"You know i always want what's best for you right? I have always wanted what's best for you and i always will." He told you now putting his hands on your shoulders as if to hold you in place.

" Yes, yes i do know but wh-why are you suddenly saying this?"

You told now getting slightly nervous as to how serious he looked, his eyes now being replaced from the warmer tones to a more darker yet slightly intimidating gaze.

"That's why I think, that's why I think you should either be fucking brave and confess or else you let it go. Because clearly holding onto this is not only hurting you but it is literally draining you."

He firmly told as you slowly took in his words, your brain picking up quickly as to what he had been implying, your heart beat thudding against your chest as your imagination started to run wild from the scenarios it created.

After a pause,hearing no reply from you, he decided it was appropriate to continue

"It's not like you know how he feels do you? Yes his behaviour is not rightful towards you but even that you should let him know, let him know that it hurts you, that he doesn't have the right to treat you that way despite you doing nothing wrong in the first place."

You gulped at his words as he continued on

"Y/N, my love, you deserve the best a person can offer. You deserve someone who's willing to treat you right and make sure your feelings are not hurt. You deserve someone who for one is honest about their feelings, who's willing to go out of their way to keep you in their lives."

Taking a pause to catch his breath,

"Even if it means Guesung hyung is not that person."

"You need to realise what you rightfully deserve. That choice is always yours, not mine, not the world and certainly not Guesung hyung's."

He finished off placing his hand over his heart as if he felt a weight lift off his chest when he said that and truthfully it did in a way, he always wanted to say this, even so knowing how the other truly feels, he knew you still deserved an honest person.

You in the other hand stood there, silent. Taking in every single syllable and word that was told you, carefully dissecting the meaning in your mind and alas,

Alas you finally realised it.

He was right, Lee Kangin was fucking right.

Kangin stared at you, thinking he'd done something wrong and contemplating if he could take back his words even though he meant them wholeheartedly.

"You're right." Kangin snapped his gaze towards you that had previously turned away after finishing his speech due to his nervousness, he looked at you and blinked a few times as though his eyes had heard them wrong.

He shook his head slightly realising he probably looked dumb but you paid no mind and continued,

"You're absolutely right Kangin."

Thinking back you realised just how dumb you acted because of...because of well Guesung. Honestly it was ridiculous how you'd let his behaviour towards you just slide because you believed you were the one in the wrong.

The saying "Love makes fools of us all, big and little." was something you were not really one to believe in. Because really who would let a bunch of emotions control your entire mind and captivate your heart to the point of sleepless nights and even more restless days.

You weren't one to believe in it until you became said fool.

You didn't believe it until you were actually one of those who made the saying apply quite literally.

Because after all, you had been a fool. A fool who let your emotions take over and started viewing the world through rosy red-tinted glasses.

And Kangin, your one and only saviour, had just removed those, threw them from your face and made you face the actual colours of reality.

So with a determined mindset and gathering up every sort of confidence you had in you, you looked back at Kangin, and said with a firm voice

"I'll confront him. I'll ask him why he treats me the way he does, why can't he just treat me, how he treats others. With at the least an ounce of respect."

You stopped to catch a breath.

"A-and I'll also let him know how much he has hurt me. How it does not only affect me but it tires me at times, how it feels to be treated like that by someone...someone who means...who means way more than I wish he did in my life."

Finally letting out an exhale and putting your hand over your heart as though it was just mentally tiring to think of all that, you finished

"I'll confront him after your practice, i wouldn't want something I said to affect his practice."

You nodded more to yourself rather than Kangin who still seemed to be in shock as to how you were able to accept the reality and come to those rightful conclusions.

Rolling your eyes at his confused and dazed look, you continued "What? You think I am dumb enough to not notice that this wasn't the right way to behave. Look I may have not confronted him about it before but I did know okay? I did know it wasn't right to treat anyone this way."

"I guess not confronting is the same as basically allowing him to continue treating me that way, but, not anymore."

You wished though, you wish you'd have confronted him about this previously but hey, better late than never right?

Kangin narrowed his eyes in suspicion and asked the on true question that stood on top of the mountain of endless questions he always had in his mind

"And what about...what about your real feelings? What about despite the way he treats you, you still choose to lo-"

Coughing loudly he stopped and continued "

like him? You still choose to put your heart in his hands unknowingly?"

Scrunching your eyebrows in a bit of cringe yet humour at his final sentence, you chuckled a bit and Kangin knew it worked to release some of the tense atmosphere the air seemed to have carried since you two began talking.

"Well, honestly I think I'll tell him. I think it's better to let everything off my chest, and worse come worse, he doesn't feel a single ounce of the same way I do and best case scenario is," You trailed off with a little smirk and a certain spark in your eyes as you imagined all your endless scenarios with Guesung being the main actor actually coming true.

Kangin snorted, walking more close to you and put his arm around your shoulder as he pulled you closer to him and brought his hand up to ruffle your hair "Okay you wild child, get off that imagination train before its next destination is false hope."

Grinning up at him "Oh but don't you know? The passenger on it is a hopelessly hopeful romantic." You finished with a wink as you both giggled suddenly feeling a lot better.

Trust Kangin to always make you feel lighter whenever you felt like everything was a burden.

At the end of the day, at least I know you'll always be there. Just like I will always be there for you Lee Kangin.

You may have been confident to say all those things about confrontation and confessing but gosh, it was easier said than done.

Way easier to boost yourself up to do the task but when it came to do the actual task you felt like making a run for it and never looking back.

That day you felt like your thoughts were really weighing you down and sure it was for a good reason yet you felt drained from truthfully everything. Instead of talking to Guesung that same day, you decided to have a talk when you were not feeling as though the weight of the world was on your shoulders.

You’d wish someone had told you about how draining feelings could make you feel but then again the rush of those same exact feelings made it almost all worth it.

You chose to just ignore him for the remainder of the day and when you bid the players and Kangin goodbye, you made sure to specifically not tell your farewell to one particular player.

And oh he noticed, he noticed how when you gently smiled at the others while bidding them goodbye, he noticed that very adorable smile drop once your eyes found his and your lips turn into a thin line whilst giving a very curt nod before turning away.

That made him confused, very confused. He was always used to you being all cheery at times around him even though he knew he didn’t treat you fairly well but he always justified why he should distance himself from you.

Because he knew it was wrong to gain feelings for the partner of his teammate.

Yes, that’s right. Guesung thought Kangin and you were actually dating. I mean he did not see any other reason as to why you’d sometimes go out of your way to make sure Kangin had been eating well by sometimes bringing over food even though they did have a diet to follow but you always just dismissed it and still happily brought him food, you’d even bring for the others as well.

He always thought you liked to be close to each other because he assumed you were dating him, the long hugs and the small little forehead kisses.

But fuck, it didn’t mean he particularly liked it.

And with these conclusions, he felt it was right to distance himself from you before he would fall harder and harder but he couldn’t help it. Feelings were fatal and surely his were no exception.

With that he found himself completely and utterly head over heels in love with you before he could even stop himself.

It began to hurt now, because from that particular day, you were making sure you kept your distance from him. He noticed this and it hurt more than he’d ever like to admit. You began showing up only a few times over the course of the week than you’d usually do.

Only coming to greet Kangin and not even spare a glance at him, not even look in his direction. You would only greet the rest of the team with encouraging words like you usually would but not even a single word towards him.

He would wait for you to spare him a glance now, wanting to hear you tell him how great his skills were or how amazing his gameplay had been during a particular practice with that ever-so-fond smile of yours which he thought was something you gave to everyone but only well basically everyone knew you reserved that smile for him and him only.

Too bad he was a fool for not seeing that.

At the end he found himself running out of excuses as to why you’d be avoiding him and though he did partially believe his behaviour was at fault here which left a bitter taste on his tongue and heart, he wished he would know the actual why.

So he found himself going to the one person who knew you better than anyone else for a plausible explaination which wouldn’t make him feel more of an asshole than how he felt, it was none other than Lee Kangin.

Kangin had been discerning his hyung’s actions from the past few days and noticed how upset he’d always looked. Well he knew Guesung was serious during practice times but he’d always be laid back after that and would even joke around a lot. They did after all get along quite well so when he saw how more frustrated he seemed to get day by day, he had initially been worried but on one day when he noticed him sporting a deep frown staring intently at something, he not only realised got the answer to his previous question as to what was stressing Guesung out but he also acquired that it was not something rather it was someone when he followed his line of sight which ultimately lead up to…you.

It was almost as if all the dots connected and Kangin couldn’t help but shake his head and narrow his own eyes at Guesung.

So he is affected by Y/N huh? Interesting.

And so when Guesung did eventually come up to him, he wasn’t exactly shocked when he found out why his hyung had come up to him.

Guesung nervously walked up to Kangin, his usual natural confidence and calmness being replaced with skeptical nerves that ran all the way from his heart to all the veins and nerves throughout his body. He gulped when he finally called out to the younger boy and even his voice seemed to have shown how nervous he was because in a rather hushed yet sheepish tone, he proceeded to ask

“Uh…Kangin? You got a minute to spare, I-uh I have something I want to ask you?” And immediately after he said that he wished the earth could swallow him whole.

Fucking hell, why am I acting like a high schooler with a crush ?!?

Kangin turned to Guesung from putting aside his belongings since it was the end of the day and raised his eyebrow as he urged on for him to continue,

 “Yes, hyung, sure what is it?” Pulling his lips into a thin line to prevent his smirk from showing.

Exhaling forcefully while clearing his throat he finally let the weighing question which had been both heavy on his tongue and mind out “Why is Y/N avoiding me? I mean I thought I’d ask you because you know, you’re their boyfriend and like you’d know the rea-”

“Wait, WHAT????”

Kangin interrupted the little unknowing ramble as he heard something that was very VERY absurd to him, thinking maybe he heard wrong.

“Boyfriend?? That too Y/N’S BOYFRIEND?!?” Kangin looked even more in shock as he saw the confused look wash over Guesung’s face, he held up a hand to his heart and said in a loud and serious voice “Hyung, first of all, God no, heck to the fucking no, Y/N and me are not fucking dating, we are literally just friends, we share platonic love, PLATONIC.”

“Secondly, are you seriously asking why Y/N’s avoiding you? No actually you tell me, what if the person you literally like would treat you like shit even though you treat them nicely for absolutely no fucking reason huh?”

Kangin’s voice grew more annoyed as he finished his little rant but he slapped his hand over his mouth as he realized a little detail he may or may not have accidentally spilled.

“L-like?” Guesung questioned even though Kangin may have not spoken much, all the words seemed to have cut through every single thought process he had been having to make his mind a mess of a mush of feelings and even more questions.

“Not dating? WHAT? What about the way you guys like, you guys like to be touchy with each other and stuff?”

Guesung questioned again loudly and now an amused expression grazed itself upon Kangin as he nodded

“So best friends can’t hug each other or kiss each other on the cheeks? Literally, Y/N takes me as one of their older brothers, even going as far as to call me their ‘twin brother from another’.”

Guesung groaned as he realised how childish and unbelievably stupid he felt at the very moment, he had to sit down on a bench and hold his head in his hands as he felt his brain feel heavier and heavier as though it was gaining physical weight from the newly acquired information.

“Also hyung before you go on another stupid assumption of yours, if you noticed closely, you’d know Y/N’s basically a very physically affectionate person in general to everyone, hugging is basically like a handshake or a normal greeting for them, even Seungho hyung and Y/N have this weird bet of giving each other piggy back rides when one loses a round of ‘who is a better goal keeper?’ to which Y/N on purpose loses just so they can get free piggy back rides.”

Kangin chuckled as he remembered how you basically played with your cunning words to make you somehow be able to always win that bet against Seungho and the poor lad eventually fell for it.

Guesung just stared at Kangin, blinking twice as his mouth fell ajar when he realised the most important part of his previously forgotten question was yet to be answered “What did you mean by like? As in-?”

“Well why don’t you find out yourself, I already said more than what was needed and I surely don’t need Y/N physically throwing me off a cliff for accidentally saying what their true fee-”

Before Kangin could say more, he bit on his tongue, quite literally to force himself to shut up “UH-yeah AS I said just, just go sort this out yourselves, you oblivious idiots, I’m done with this. And I swear to God if Y/N comes to me crying or anything and there is even a small fault of yours this time, I’ll forget who you are.” He finished almost threateningly which made Guesung gulp a little from his very serious tone.

And then as if someone flipped a switch, he smiled sweetly as he rose up from his previous position of besides Guesung and walked away before turning around slowly relaying some information “AND YEAH Y/N’S PROBABLY HOME RIGHT NOW SO YOU MIGHT WANT TO HURRY BEFORE THEY HEAD TO THE LIBRARY, THEIR ADDRESS IS XXX XXX XXX.”

He basically shouted at Guesung before turning around knowing his job was done and smiled to himself,

Y/N better thank me for this.

<< A few minutes later >>

The doorbell rang as you groaned realising, you’d actually have to get up from your comfortable position of sulking on the couch as you watched a romcom which did nothing but make you want more and more of what the lead couples had which in turn made you frown more as you thought about your actual reality.

It’s probably Kangin or whatever,

You thought but oh you were so wrong, so fucking wrong.

Because the last person you expected to be standing in all his might glory, on the step of your lovely home at almost 8 pm was Cho fucking Guesung.

Your brain basically stopped its communication as it tried to process whether this was reality or just another conjured up daydream of Guesung you often had as much as you hated to admit it.

“G-Guesung?” You asked softly as he stood there, him also being in a similar state as he took in your shorter yet perfect for him, figure in front of him in a large hoodie that almost reached your knees and your glasses which just made you look even more fucking cute. Oh, how he wished it was his hoodie you were standing in but he felt it in his gut if he did play the right cards and words, his wishes would soon come true.  (and he is right)

Fuck, Dear God,help me here please.

He prayed to the heavens above for some encouragement before he spoke

“I am sorry.”

Before you could even greet him hello, he literally left you speechless with those three words, pulling your lips into a thin line as you rose an eyebrow in curiosity because it seemed like he still had a lot to say.

“I am really sorry for, for everything. I am sorry for treating you like shit, sorry for making you feel like you were the one in the wrong and fuck- fuck I am really sorry for making you upset over me. Nothing can justify how I behaved with you, I just wished I wasn’t such a coward and assumed things that were never true in the first place…I just I am sorry okay?”

He put his hand on his chest as he exhaled feeling a lot of the weight on his chest leave as he continued and put his other hand on your mouth before you could speak again “No wait please just let me finish.”

Here it goes.

“I was a jealous idiot okay? I was a jealous idiot who jumped to conclusions and why I was jealous, it’s because I fucking like you. I have liked you since the day Kangin introduced you to us, at first I thought it was just because you were a beautiful person but the more you spent time with everyone, the more I kept falling when I realised you were not only beautiful on the outside but a fucking awesome human too? The way you always made sure to ask me about how I was doing and always just supporting us, like seriously who would go out of their way everyday to just be there for someone nowadays, then I realised I was jealous because I wanted that, I wanted you to do those things for me and me only. Y/N there you go okay, I fucking like you and if you don’t feel the sa-”

Before he could finish, you gently yet firmly removed his hand from your mouth and grabbed his jersey, which he had not yet changed, before bunching it up and pulling him closer to you, he stumbles a bit before you pull him down and crash your lips against him.

It felt as though the world faded around him the moment his lips touched yours as he shut his eyes, his hands gently moving to your waist, securely resting themselves on your hip bone, as your own entangled themselves around his neck.

Gentle yet soft was how the kiss felt like, only testing whether their lips suited each other as they moved against each other in a slow rhythm.

And when it felt like it was the perfect melody, it grew more and more passionate, hungrier and all of your unsaid emotions being poured into it, communicated through the rougher movement of lips against each other. Tingles traveled up your spine as his large hands pressed into your hips, squeezing gently. You moved one hand up to his hair, softly caressing it as he pulled you impossibly closer to him, slightly groaning as you pressed against his warm body and your hand working its magic in his hair.

He moved his hand up to your cheek as you gently pulled away, hands now looped around his neck, his eyes fluttering open gently as you both breathed heavily almost in sync, he stared down as you who still had your eyes shut but you looked up at him hazily opening your eyes as a small smile formed on your face “Well I hope that told you how I felt.”

You spoke so gently as if it was just meant for only him to hear and it was really.

“Wa-wait really?”

You let out a small giggle and decided to hopefully make him believe you even more with what you did next.

Pecking his lips you said “I” Another peck “Like” And a second one “You” And a third “Cho Guesung” You finished with one last peck which was almost a full-on kiss before you pulled apart and grinned widely at him with your now, even more, redder cheeks and shining eyes.

He brought up his other hand to your face and ran his thumbs over your warm flushed cheeks as he looked you in your eyes and finally, finally for once, he was not jealous of the stars in your eyes.

Because this time he knew they were there because of him and only him.

BONUS CUT (because honestly that last line as much as a banger of it is as an ending line there’s still some stuff left that needs to be covered)

“But you still have a lot of making up to do.” You mumbled to him gently c as you both decided it was better to move this much-needed conversation to a more private space which was your living room without an audience you noticed one of your grumpy neighbors had been staring at uh…the both of you. making out rather passionately.

Now you both were comfortably sat, you in his embrace as you sat half on his lap with one leg of his as he had one arm over you securely resting on your waist with your head on his chest, simply hearing his heart beat as it gave you comfort. Your hands held his free one as you drew circles on the back of it, each touch sending a shiver down his spine as he squeezed your waist gently running his own thumb on your slightly exposed skin making you reciprocate the same way.

He chuckled sheepishly as he sceptically continued “I know, I know I do and I swear I’m really sorry, I promise I’ll earn back your forgiveness for the rest of my life if I have to. Actually wait, let’s start from now, w-what can I do right now which could earn a bit of it?”

You giggled lightly as you felt his heart pace up, moving your body a bit so you could face him as you cheekily thought of another idea.

“You are so so cheesy darling" You chuckled as you noticed his cheeks begin to turn red at not only the nickname but your soft laughter and fondly continued,

"And well there is definitely one way."

You finished as you grabbed his collar, once again pulling his lips onto yours as you shifted your position to be in a more comfortable one, which was directly on his lap as you looped your arms once again behind his neck while biting his bottom lip and he squeezed your hips gently in response as he groaned.

At that moment you both knew, there was no turning back. You both were in too deep now, lost in each other’s thoughts and arms and you couldn’t have it any other way.

And oh of course, you both owned Lee Kangin a huge fucking thank you.

[whitehartlane]

klinsmann has adapted to a 4-2-3-1 for today’s game. looks to be sonny up top and heechan and kangin on the wings with jaesung at CAM (some sources suggest it’s a 4-3-3 with heechan up top and sonny and kangin on the wings which is also fine). inbeom and yongwoo in deeper midfield is great. the single pivot in some of the group stage matches was overrun quickly by more physical opponents so a double pivot is a good change to regain some stability in midfield. absolutely the strongest XI with the available personnel (unfortunate that minjae is suspended but it is what it is). imagine guesung and/or hyeongyu will come on in the second half if korea is chasing a goal. hope hongi comes on for jaesung at some point as well. just win in normal time please 😭🇰🇷

( 🔮 ) ꒪ᤱᰱ ✷BlackLotus PopularityScale

Blacklotus' fan ranked popularity from least to most !

꒪ᤱᰱ ✷ ⸺ ( 🔮 ) H;ex !

H;ex has never been very well liked in the fandom. He’s into some pretty odd stuff, his personality isn't the nicest, and he has had so many seriously scandalous controversies that his reputation has never recovered from.

꒪ᤱᰱ ✷ ⸺ ( 🔮 ) Wooseok !

The only reason Wooseok isn't in last is because of his overwhelming amount of solo stans. He’s also disliked by the majority of the fandom. And for good reasons. It’s no secret to fans and netizens that Wooseok has the tendency, when provoked to attack. And these days fans are still investigating former injuries on the other members and attempting to link them back to Wooseok.

꒪ᤱᰱ ✷ ⸺ ( 🔮 ) Seungwoo !

Imagine being 17 places in your own group, that you lead and drive to success. Seungwoo wasn't very happy with this placement, especially since he’s one of the only members who give their 101% effort in everything in his career now. There isn't a specific reason why Seungwoo is placed here. He just isn't very popular in the fandom.

꒪ᤱᰱ ✷ ⸺ ( 🔮 ) Minseok !

Minseok in his personal opinion, deserves to be higher. But due to the amount of scandals, accusations and ‘proof’ of him faking his personality and just generally not being a very good person, it's hard for his fans to give him anything higher then what he's currently at.

꒪ᤱᰱ ✷ ⸺ ( 🔮 ) Kangin !

Now this one makes perfect sense. Kangin, the violent problem starting, always fuming about something his bandmates did, having a high rank? No sir. Sorry to disappoint. Previously it was speculated that Kangin would place 18 or 17 in popularity. But due to his endless promotions on commercials, reality shows and his, as described by Kangin stans, impossibly cute laugh and enticing visuals, he managed to stay away from the bottom two.

꒪ᤱᰱ ✷ ⸺ ( 🔮 ) Donghan !

Does he deserve better, absolutely. Similar to Seungwoo there isn't any particular reason that Donghan is placed here. He, next to Woobin and Youngjin, is the sunshine of the group. Being kind and bringing joy wherever he goes is his speciality.

꒪ᤱᰱ ✷ ⸺ ( 🔮 ) Beomseok !

Beomseok always seems to come out on top. He’s been involved in his own share of scandals throughout his time in Blacklotus, from lying about his education to disrespecting his elders at award shows. Despite the fandom and himself never seem very affected by these offences, most likely because Beomseok just has a very calm nature when it comes to scandals. And usually his nonchalant attitude towards the media helps relax the fans. 

꒪ᤱᰱ ✷ ⸺ ( 🔮 ) Vien !

Much like Donghan and Seungwoo there isn't any specific reason that vien was placed here. He’s well liked, and gets along with most members. But again, very little screen time, few lines, and not a lot of promotions opportunities are given to him.

꒪ᤱᰱ ✷ ⸺ ( 🔮 ) Youngjin !

The group's lovable foodie! Youngjin is one of the most unproblematic members in Blacklotus ! He was most likely placed here for the fact that a lot of lottus just don't know enough about him. He doesn't speak a lot and despite having quite a few seconds on each song, rarely gets recognized for it. But still, has a solid group of fans and is quite a nice person.

꒪ᤱᰱ ✷ ⸺ ( 🔮 ) Que !

Generally a shock to fandoms from pre-debut. And extremely unfair to H;ex (poor minho) Que was basically the reason for H;ex’s career turned into one big flaming trash pile. And instead of going down with him, he just let the company deal with everything and got out mostly unharmed. In every pre-debut fans eyes this man should have been down there with h;ex.

꒪ᤱᰱ ✷ ⸺ ( 🔮 ) Eunhyuk !

Everyone in this fandom has a Eunhyuk photocard if you have even just one album, and not just because back in 2020 ellectic messed up a printed double the amount of his photocards. Don't deny it, but also don't deny that everyone in this fandom, at one point streamed his double back fancam like their lives depended on it. Anyways, he’s very popular and rightfully so.

꒪ᤱᰱ ✷ ⸺ ( 🔮 ) JayJay !

Jayjay, unlike his friend Vien, has quite a few fans. He would probably be near the top based on personality alone but because he rarely gets much screen time and lines in songs, he wasn't able to get into the top three.

꒪ᤱᰱ ✷ ⸺ ( 🔮 ) Woobin !

Who wouldn't love this bright sunshine?! Woobin has always been very well liked in the group. But due to his many hiatuses throughout the years of being an idol. Many new fans were never properly introduced to him.

꒪ᤱᰱ ✷ ⸺ ( 🔮 ) Devin !

Devin enjoys being the main focus, so it comes to no surprise that he would have a large amount of fans. He live streams the most and posts the most on social media. So it's only normal that the most active member would have one of the bigger fanbase rights?

꒪ᤱᰱ ✷ ⸺ ( 🔮 ) Woosung !

Woosung, our dear maknae , He’s been a fan favorite since debut. He’s everything right and wrong about the kpop industry. Woosung has built a very powerful fanbase for himself throughout his career, just by being himself.

꒪ᤱᰱ ✷ ⸺ ( 🔮 ) Hann !

Hann is very popular within the fandom. Most of the time he’s baby-lottus’s first bias and exposure to the group's concept and members. If you ever want a boy group member who doesn't ‘out do’ or overdance in a girl group cover, this is your man.

꒪ᤱᰱ ✷ ⸺ ( 🔮 ) Yoonho !

To no one's surprise Yoonho has a very strong fanbase. Some of them aren't even k-pop stans. He regularly streams video games and from that has been regularly recognized as just streamer instead of an idol. But his fanbase inside of Blacklotus is also big. He’s funny and people love him for it.

꒪ᤱᰱ ✷ ⸺ ( 🔮 ) Sunjun !

Fans were shocked, netizens were gagged, and Sunjun himself has yet to recover from this news. Sunjun has always been criticized for his lack of ‘skill’ and ‘unprofessionalism’ as an idol. Following that, after Blacklotus debut, netizens singled SUnjun out to criticize his vocal ability and lack of body control while dancing. Despite this, he’s the groups main visual, and now the confirmed most popular. Which would come to some as a major shock. He’s the most promoted member outside of his job as a performer. Sunjun has the least amount of Lines in most of their songs, his center time dancing is very little, and he rarely appears in solo shots for MV’s, unless its a visual shot. So this, was a great shock to fans. But, Netizens have come to the conclusion that it’s either due to his Solo activities or Ellectic ent rigged the votes.

Omg lee kangin!! Did you know that he speaks spanish? https://youtu.be/3bnYA5ePkTk?si=7Nh_6N-wMpy16ecX funny thing is he admitted that he speaks spanish better than korean 😂

During the transfer window, there was a rumour that he was going to spurs and i was so excited. He's young and talented and seeing him play in the same team as his captain (sonny) would be very exciting. But yeah, he went to psg instead. I hope he plays for any premier league team one day.

I'll watch the video later because I can't right now but I believe he was in Spain for 5 years or something like that. So that's a lot 😅

And honestly, I can't imagine most PSG players staying there long so he'll have time to try other leagues for sure.

It's so easy for men to hide parts of themselves in relationships, jumping on momo just BC heechul said sm gross is kind of weird

im not calling momo a bad person or saying she agrees with him, i do not know her. it's important to note that a) heechul has been known as a weirdo who likes younger women (look at him "loving" sohee since she debuted and also collecting itzy pcs) b) this isn't the first time he has said things like this and c) she is 13 years younger than him. they met in 2016, he apparently asked her to star in a music video with him and they were even spotted in kyoto together at that time. momo would've been 20 while he was 33.

at the end of the day she was in a predatory relationship and they broke up. i would like to think he got more radicalized after their relationship or maybe they broke up because of it. but, being so pro japanese war crimes, pro misogyny, and supporting kangin (a known abuser) does make me kinda wary of momo for choosing to associate with him. if these are things he said in public, imagine how he acts in private. imo she is still the victim but its just concerning how she chose to hang out with him even though he is this kind of person.

Growing up, you'd been someone who preffered sharing your love with actions. In other words, your so called love language was always in ways of physical affection.

A helping hand when your siblings really needed your help in their academic studies or a gesture of giving a flower to your mother when you would notice the damp mood she had, the bruises on your knees and scrapes on your hand being worth it after digging through the neighbour's mini garden for the perfect sunflower, especially when you'd see the smile that took over her face and the several kisses she'd shower you with for this, murmuring loving words of how she loved you so so much.

You don't think anything makes you happier when your love language is reciprocated by someone in their own unique love language. Be it gestures, gifts or even sweet words. You had a lot of love to give and surely you'd always give it in huge bulks especially to those who held a special place in your heart.

So when you found someone like Kangin in your life, you definitely felt like this was possibly the one of the best things to have happened to you.

Lee Kangin.

Your boyfriend of nearly 10 months, 2 weeks and 3 days. Yes, you kept a countdown which you memorised. It was your own way of counting how many lucky days you'd had since well, you met him.

You and him, in many or less words, were a simple cliché. Being in the same college, him being the forward striker of your college football team and well you being the captain of the volleyball team.

Seeing as how you both held a great love for your respective sports, you'd instantly bonded over your passions. In one way though, you knew you played because it was somewhat of a hobby, granted a hobby you loved and surprisingly good enough to be a whole captain of, you still knew you weren't sure as to whether to make it into a whole career.

But still you were grateful to have been in the team, happy to play. Maybe in the likely future, it could turn into something more but for the time being you were happy with it and really what else matters right?

Unlike Kangin though, you knew he was likely to begin playing for the national levels in no time, given this was his drive. His passion. Something that was definitely more than just a hobby. You could see it, him being a huge football player in the coming days.

Nonetheless, you were always supportive of him since you got together and him being the best boyfriend you'd had, was equally if not more supportive of whatever you'd want to do in your life ahead.

Showing up to his matches cheer him on, proudly wearing his number 19 jersey that he specially gave you and him making sure to scream the loudest whenever you would score in your own matches, making your cheeks warm whenever you'd spot him in the crowd with the biggest smile on his face as he cheered you on.

He'd always been the sweetest with his words especially which you quickly learnt was his love language, words of affection. They do say opposites do attract don't they? One whose love language was more of physical affection and the others being loving words, a perfect balance.

Actually he'd been the one to ask you out, he'd been the one to first confess and you were able to give back all his love with your own until he said the first I love you.

Kangin didn't mind at all though, he knew you. He knew every thought you'd have, and he even knew you wouldn't say it back just yet.

But well this was his way of showing his love. Declarations of it in those three little words. And you knew that, you of course did. You think before your mind admitted to this, your heart already knew. Your heart was already deeply and wholly in love with him.

And when you both were able to get a free day amidst your hectic schedules, you wasted no time in planning the perfect date.

A movie you'd been dying to watch since it came out was definitely one of the top things in that date, and who was Kangin to say no to his lover who asked him with the cute sheepish smile and the fact that you already booked them in advance out of pure excitement.

Besides he actually had planned to take you out to watch it first knowing how much you simply loved the particular movie series.

You'd worn a cute outfit, choosing a jacket over a white top and a pair of jeans you found comfortable yet fashionable. He came to pick you up, wearing his own white t-shirt and black coat, unknowingly matching with you.

You grinned at him when you realised this, seeing his own slight surprise at how you both matched,

"Ohhh, look at us, we're definitely telepathically connected." You giggled as you scanned his figure, the jacket definitely sitting perfectly tightly on his broad shoulders and the white t-shirt making him look the more attractive than he already was.

Kangin smiled at your words, turning towards you and grabbing your hand which had previously been sitting on your lap into his, entwining them and immediately warmth engulfing your colder hand, feeling relief at the feeling.

“Hmm whatever you say.” He said softly as he brought your hand up to his lips to place a soft kiss on it, your heart fluttering wildly at the simple gesture.

"I never did as well, I always have a good sixth sense of these types of things you know, a secret superpower in a way." You jokingly said with a smirk as you looked at him and laughed again at the way he rolled his eyes at your words ( affectionately )

“Of course baby, I'd never doubt you.” He said playing along to your little act making you wheezed a bit through your nose.

"But we really need to get going though, or else we'd miss the first few minutes of the movie." He finished as he saw the time on his car display, now only a few more minutes until the show timings.

"Right let's go then!" You said hurriedly putting on your seat belt because of course road safety and your safety came first.

Reaching the movie theaters, you both quickly got out, your hand instinctively entwining with his, a habit you always had whenever you would go out, a small smile forming on his face due to your giddiness. Really it felt as though it was also spreading to him and how could it not when his lover was so happy.

Having entered the theatre after getting snacks of, you both quickly made your way to your seats and sat down, the lights dimming after a few minutes and you immediately going into a trance as you stared at the beautiful cinematics of the film.

Even though Kangin wasn't quite a huge fan as you were of the particular movie series, he found it beneficial when he could just stare at you, in a cute way, and observe your reactions to certain scenes which really made you look the more adorable to him atleast.

In that moment though, he did know, he loved you a lot and he wouldn't have it any other way with any other person because you were his and he was yours.

"I love you." He told after seeing a pout on your face due to his observations, it was out of no where but he really couldn't help it, the simplest of things just made him fall more and more.

You turned towards him, slightly out of focus due to your attention being towards the film, but nonetheless you heard him and certainly you felt it.

You heart fluttered at his confessions despite it not being the first time but truly it meant a lot more to you than just three words. Three very heavy words but a type of weight you could carry for as long as your heart would allow it to.

Softly chuckling, you neared him and cupped his face, the only light being of the film, illuminating his cheeks and eyes holding reflections of the flashing scene, it was dark but you could still see part of him and it was enough.

"I know." You whispered gently and caressed his cheeks with your thumbs while giving him a peck on his lips. Kangin moved forward when you leaned back, wanting more. The action making you giggle as you shushed him telling him to focus on the film and to let you focus as well.

He wanted to whine but upon seeing your focus go back, he decided he'd take his own revenge later. You side eyed him once again, seeing the small pout on his face and held back your giggles.

Cute. He's so cute.

Soon enough, much to your sadness but Kangin's delight, the film came to an end. You were left with that bittersweet feeling of wishing it'd never end and though you knew Kangin didn't like the movie, you could see he tried to understand how you felt and kept interest in what you said about it afterwards.

It was considerate of him though, and that only made you happier with him more and more.

As you both began walking out of the theaters and were near the exit, you spotted something sitting on the corner of the left side.

It was a photobooth, the logo 'PHOTOS' being lit up in a bright white colour and you immediately felt inclined to go there.

You grabbed Kangin's hand which was tucked in his coat, looking towards him with excitement and pleading eyes.

"Can we please go there ? I really want to take some photos with you at a photobooth!" You asked pointing toward the booth and Kangin looked towards it and back at you noticing your excitement that you tried to keep within you but you couldn't help it and grinned at him as you thought of the different poses you could do.

"Of course. If it makes you happy, I'll do whatever." He said, a small smile on his face when he saw your grin getting wider.

"I've always wanted to take photos in a photobooth, but rarely were there any back home." You told as you began walking towards it now, hands still holding each other.

"It's good that there's one here and even better that you're the one who'll take photos with me." You pushed aside the blue velvet curtain as you entered the miniature room.

You both sat on the small bench, making sure the curtain was closed and only the light from the LED screen lighting up the space.

"Hold on, I have change we can use." Before you could say anything Kangin slipped a bill into the machine and the screen saver changing to a camera screen with instructions on the side.

"So we have around six photos we can take and there's a 10 second interval between each to change poses as we wish." You read out loud, and looked at Kangin who seemed to be already looking at you, nodding and humming, to tell you he heard.

Besides the screen there were also some headbands, and you looked back at him, him seemingly knowing what you were thinking and just nodding again, smiling once more at you.

"Yeah we can take with those, I guess. BUT only like two max." You already had reached and grabbed the two which seemed the most cutest, a greenish frog headband and a bunny one.

Handing him the bunny one, you grinned even though he glared at you, it was harmless of course, but you did it on purpose, knowing he's get irritated.

"Oh hush, besides you said two photos only anyways!" Putting the headband on, you moved closer to Kangin.

"Okay, so I think a good pose would be putting up peace signs ? For the start, it's a simple pose, well decide the others later." You got into position, putting a peace sign near your face and looking toward the screen as Kangin did the same, looking at the camera.

You pressed the button on the screen and a timer of 3 seconds went off before a flash blinded you slightly.

Blinking a bit to make sure you handle gone blind, you turned towards Kangin,

"How about I kiss you on the cheek now?" "Sure."

He replied with no hesitation whatsoever making you chuckle at his eagerness and you lightly smacked your lips, making sure you still had your gloss on.

Kangin turned towards the camera, slightly flushed, as you placed your lips on his cheek, they felt soft and just…right. You grinned as the timer went off.

Another flash went off, and you pulled away. Seeing Kangin remove the cute headpiece made you pout a bit but if it was what he wanted to do then you'd do it.

Placing both of them back in their original places, you patted down your hair and asked him "Do I look okay now?"

"Baby, you look good always, beautiful in fact the most prettiest person I've ever seen!" He told you with such determination, you felt like your heart could burst them and there.

"Kangin." Before he could say anything, you spoke up,

"I love you."

You said softly, feeling warm and your mind flowing with many thoughts and emotions.

A bright light flooded the room as Kangin processed what you said, the photo taken being of you smiling warmly and him being in shock, a contrasting comical expression and surely a memorable photo.

"Do you, wait-" Before he could say anything, you grabbed his face, scanning it seeing the little angel kisses littered beautifully across it, the one near his eye in particular being the most prettiest one in your opinion.

You pressed your lips to his, shutting your eyes, Kangin coming back to his senses just before the photo was being snapped, as he pulled you impossibly closer by your waist.

"I love you too, and always will." He said as he pulled away, his eyes speaking more than enough for you to know he meant those words by his whole soul.

You giggled lightly, placing a soft peck on his lips,

"I know my love, I know."

And a little note: I know there's some stuff going on in the world right now, please be safe and strong.

And I'm sorry that I haven't been posting fics lately, I'll compensate to you, I promise;-; I hope you're doing well, and thanks for reading and everything, you're amazing!♡

MASTERLIST

-

It was almost 8 pm that night when Kangin saw the current time on his phone. He swallowed hard, asking himself where his date was. The restaurant wasn't going to close soon, but he was getting anxious.

Tonight it was his third date. He was awed at how much you had in common, and how much he actually showed his interest in you. For the first time in years, he felt something different; something that felt good on his soul, but also scared him. He was scared that you might turn him down someday.

More than ever, he was actually scared that you wouldn't show up after weeks of not seeing each other, because, honestly, it was too good to be true. And he understood that you were busy and his schedule wasn't the best either, but he tried everything on his hands to make things right.

You've been friends for a long time, but it was some months ago were you actually became closer. He remembered how you would start to open up to him, and how he did the same with you, finally finding someone who understands his feelings and thoughts without judging him. He was grateful for it and wanted to try more, it wasn't enough just being friends.

The waitress came to the table, and offered him another glass of water that he took immediately. With a small thank you and smile that vanished soon, he saw the lady leaving and he was all alone again.

Tapping his feat under the table, he breathed out one last time.

“Hi! I’m sorry, I had something at work,” you smiled.

He felt a rush of relief running throughout his body when he saw you, taking a seat in front of him with a wide, precious beam of yours that he adored so much.

Kangin chuckled and cleared his throat.

“Don’t worry, it’s okay.”

Truth is, that he was glad now that you showed up.

“Would you like to order now?” he inquired.

“Sure, thank you,” you mumbled with a warm smile. “How is it going?”

“Good, thanks for asking. How are you?”

“Fine, better now that I’m here.”

Kangin smiled at your words while checking the menu.

You felt relieved as well. His company was very much enjoyable and you liked him a lot, that he made you nervous even after going out a couple of times before. Finally you ordered, the meal was delightful and his company made everything better. The talk was nice, and even Kangin offered to pay that night since you paid the last time. You agreed anyway, hoping to go out another day soon.

Both of you walked out the restaurant. You put on your coat and walked on the pavement. It seemed that you already talked about everything by now, the silence was comfortable, but it felt like you had a lot to say still. Your home was nearby, so this wasn’t the first time Kangin joined you until you were there, safe.

Standing outside the door, you turned to see him one more time.

“Thank you for tonight,” you bit your lip. “I enjoyed a lot.”

“It’s nothing, really. I loved it too,” he smiled.

You took his hand all of a sudden, feeling the heat spreading on your cheeks. Taking a step forward to him. His eyes wandered on your beautiful face, trying to read what you were about to do.

“W-what are you-”

You closed the gap between you and him with a kiss. Kangin was shocked for a moment, but after a moment he gave in. With eyes shut, his hand slowly cupped your cheek, and then traveled to the back of your neck to make it deeper.

He broke the kiss, gasping for air.

"Would you like to come in?" you asked against his lips, his hand now drawing patterns on your coat.

"I really shouldn't..." he mumbled.

"I love you," you confessed. "You've been my friend for so long, but I really like you."

Kangin blinked before putting on a shy smile. His confident self always disappeared when he was with you.

"I love you too..."

"Then what's wrong?"

He stayed silent for a moment.

"I just have work tomorrow," he replied, slowly his palm went to your cheek, caressing sweetly your skin.

"Can I see you then?"

He smiled, and pressed his forehead against yours.

"Of course."

You beamed, and felt his lips giving a soft peck on your nose.

"Be my boyfriend. Please."

His words left you speechless, but inside you were aching to hear those words. And if he wasn't able to say it, hell you will say it.

"I am now."

Kangin's chuckle was heaven, so pure and sweet for your ears.

"I love you," he whispered, slowly walking away from your figure.

"Be safe."

He nodded and you saw him leaving the place after taking a cab. You let out a sigh, trying to calm your heartbeat, it felt so good to be with him. And it almost made you feel like a school boy again.

When you entered to your place, you took your phone out after leaving your shoes and your coat near the door. There was a new text from him.

Guess we're not going to have a fourth date...

You smiled at the screen, like if he was able to see you like this and send a message back.

We still can... if you like.

[whatwouldyourbiasdo]

SUJU | When their s/o gives a handwritten letter as a gift

The thing you hated about Christmas was the fact that people made it all about the expensive gifts. A once warm holiday meant to bring families together with cheer and love had been downsized to a commercial holiday where people - young and old - requested the most ridiculous gifts. 

This was the first year you were celebrating Christmas with your boyfriend and his members, you had bought little things for each member but couldn’t find the perfect gift for your boyfriend. So, instead, you decided to gift him your heart once more. You had wasted an entire forest worth of paper just to get the right message down that could convey your love and gratitude. In the chaos of the Super Junior Christmas party, you gave him your letter...

Leeteuk

Leeteuk had not expected a gift from you, after all the plans to celebrate together were last minute. He took his time to read the letter earnestly and thoroughly and you could tell he could feel every inch of emotion you had poured into the letter.  “Yah... Jagiya... You really have a way with words, huh?”  Tears were slowly forming in his eyes, he was so touched with your message. He was a sentimental man, but the fact that you went out of your way to write all of these thoughts and feelings down made him feel so happy and blessed. He pulled you into the tightest hug he had ever given you, his smile reaching from ear to ear. “I love you too, my Christmas angel.”

Heechul

Heechul had spent the entire evening whining that he had bought you such an expensive gift and you hadn’t given him anything. Of course, he was just joking around but as per his character, he couldn’t resist any and all opportunities to rub it in. At the end of the night, you handed him the letter. “What’s this? An I owe you letter?” He had mocked but read the letter nonetheless. You watched as his expression changed from his signature smirk to a genuine smile as his eyes scanned the words. His cheeks carried a slight blush while he let out a shy chuckle, for once you had rendered the infamous Kim Heechul speechless. “Wahh... How much did you pay someone to write this?” As you rolled your eyes and wanted to walk away, he grabbed your wrist and pulled you into a warm embrace. “I love you too. Next time just wrap yourself as a gift, ok?”

Yesung

The holidays had brought out a special side of Yesung, he was especially affectionate towards you all night. He had given you that bracelet you had seen weeks ago that you said you liked but couldn’t afford and had spent the rest of the night hugging you whenever he got the chance. He hadn’t expected you to gift him anything, he was just happy to be around you but when you gave him the letter and told him it was handwritten, he was already over the moon. Reading your words of love and gratitude made him smile even brighter, it was the cutest thing you had ever seen. “Yah... Is that really how you feel? I’m so happy, jagiya. I love you forever.”

Kangin

Kangin, like Heechul, couldn’t stop complaining that he had given you this expensive, romantic gift and all you had was a little box with a rolled up piece of scented paper. “Aren’t we a bit too old for love letters?” He had joked but seeing your pouting face swayed him to read it nonetheless. His eyes slowly traveled over the words as his expression dropped to an intense seriousness the more your words sunk in. “Aigoo, are you trying to make me cry?” He let out a soft chuckle, rolling the letter up again. “You’re so cute, this is the cutest letter ever. Good luck topping this gift next year, jagi.” You puffed up your cheeks at his reaction before he pulled you close to his chest, pressing a warm kiss on your cheeks. “I love you, jagiya.” 

Sungmin

Sungmin was a real romantic, he didn’t go all out on your gift but rather gave you some cute little memories that each held a significance to your relationship. He couldn’t stop smiling and blushing when you gave him the letter, touched that you would go through so much effort just to write down all your feelings and happy the two of you were on the same page. The moment he finished reading your letter, he pulled you into a tight hug. “Thank you, jagiya. I love you!”

Zhou Mi Zhou Mi was slightly disappointed he couldn’t spend Christmas with his family in China, due to conflicting schedules. But of course, his members and you made sure he wasn’t missing out on the holiday cheer and love. He didn’t know what to expect when he got your letter, the first thing he pointed out were the small mistakes you had made as you had tried to write the letter in full Chinese. But it touched his heart that you went through so much trouble especially for him, and your feelings were conveyed successfully. “Thank you for making me feel so loved and at home.”

Shindong

Most of his focus was on the food, a thing most people mocked about him but you found endearing. After all, you fell for his funny personality and kind heart rather than the gimmick that surrounded him. Shindong was especially quiet when reading your letter, you were waiting for him to joke around since he wasn’t the type to show his feelings openly. But what you received in return was a warm and cuddly embrace which lasted a little over a minute before he finally let go. You could see the spark of tears hiding in his eyes as he cutely shot you a heart pose. “You are the best, jagiya!”

Eunhyuk

Eunhyuk had a rough night, having to spread his attention and love between his best friend and you. Though you had accepted that Eunhyuk and Donghae basically came as a two-for-one deal, the letter you had written was meant for his eyes only as you had written down a lot of personal thoughts and feelings. You finally managed to get him alone and handed him your gift, but he didn’t have time to read it as Donghae had swooped in curiously. Seeing your reaction, he ran away from his best friend and locked himself up in the bathroom. As he came out again, a good ten minutes later, he said nothing. He just immediately marched over to you and pulled you in the tightest hug he had ever given you, tears softly running down his cheek as the big emotional softie he was underneath. In your ear, he whispered softly. “I love you.”

Donghae

Even though you knew what a passionate, emotional person he could be, holidays usually brought out the little kid in Donghae. Especially when he was around his members. Donghae was all over the place, and clueless at the fact that you were waiting for him to give you just a few seconds attention. You actually started to envy Eunhyuk as he seemed to be clinging more to him than to you. Eventually, feeling neglected bu your boyfriend, you excused yourself and decided to take a little walk. You had left the present on the table, which Donghae found eventually. The careless childish excitement disappeared as your words sunk in, his heart feeling a lot heavier as your emotions rang through his head. As the other members said you had left, he wasted no time running after you. Thankfully you hadn’t gone too far yet, he caught your wrist and pulled you into a hug, you could hear him sniffling slightly. “Jagiyah... I had no idea you felt so strongly about us... I feel so too...” He whispered into your hair, his embrace only tightening as if you were to run away and disappear. “I love you.”

Siwon

After going along to church, you joined Siwon in celebrating Christmas with his members. He had been showering you in lovely compliments all day, hugging you and fixing your hair. Every little gesture he did was filled with love towards you. His smile reached from ear to ear as he received your handwritten letter, reading it carefully. He felt so loved and so touched, but also very proud that instead of taking the cheap road and buying a gift, you had actually spent time and effort and thought into this letter. “Jagiyah, you are truly a gift from God. I love you.”

Ryeowook

Ryeowook was another member who could appreciate the sentiment. Sure, he could act a little stuck up but when it involved you, he appreciated your company the most. Your letter conveyed so much you hadn’t told him before, he felt so touched that He had no idea what to tell you other than a million thank you’s, clinging onto you every moment he could to show you how much he appreciated you being in his life.

Kyuhyun

Kyuhyun had an opinion for every gift he had gotten that night, though he mostly did so to spite the older members, he was very ruthless in judging the well-meant gifts. You hesitated before giving him your gift in the presence of all the other members. They cooed to prepare for a vocal beat down, since he was so harsh about the games and other gifts he had received, imagine what he was going to say about a simple letter. But Kyuhyun grew silent, his cheeks flaring up as you could swear he was actually blushing shyly. When he refused to make a comment on the letter, the other members tried to get their hands onto it but he was quick with his reflexes and escaped their grasp, dragging you out into his own room with an amused grin, this felt like a game to him really, before reading the letter again. “Yah... I didn’t know you could get so sentimental... I love it. And I love you.”

Henry

Oh man, who gave this boy sugar? He was bouncing all over the place, singing random Christmas carols that he worked into puns in this conversations and giving everyone a hug. He wasn’t even drunk, yet. You didn’t even get the chance to give your gift when you felt it was appropriate, Henry had found the little box with his name on it and took it upon himself to read it while you were in the kitchen hellping with the snacks. A few moments later, you felt a pair of arms snake around your waist, pressing you against his warm chest as he leaned in to whisper into your ear. “All I want for Christmas is you, jagi.”
