SONA SPEAKING ≻ no i did NOT choose ej just bc he reminds me of my crush!!

What’s worse than having a normal crush is having a crush on your best friend's brother, Euijoo. He’s not any typical brother; he’s the younger brother who doesn’t talk to anyone besides his friends and family. The younger brother, who only has one face for every emotion. He’s the younger brother who’s the eldest among his friends. 

It’s even worse when he goes to your school. Fate loves to be a hater and decided that you two should see each other everywhere, whether he’s behind you in line at the cafeteria or walking the same hall after your drama class and his gym class. Wherever you are, Euijoo is there. Some people would think it’s a blessing to be around their crush all the time, and it is. It’s also a curse, as instead of greeting him, you find yourself running as far away as possible from him.

The idea of your best friend finding out isn’t the reason you're running away. In fact, you even told her you liked him, and she didn’t seem to care at all. All she did was laugh. She finds it hilarious how he’s gullible and you’re here trying to keep yourself from running away when he’s around, especially when you’re at her house. From sitting next to you on the couch for a movie night to grabbing a cup from the cabinet in the kitchen where you’re eating, you’d expect her to glare at you, but she only tries to hold her laughter in.

You don’t know why you can’t function when he’s around every time. Is it because he smells like pencil shaving all the time, his glasses suit his face shape, or he wears that umber leather jacket over his uniform every day? It’s weird since you complain all the time that you miss him, but when you do see him, you’re suddenly meters away from his presence. You hate the idea of talking to him, but at the same time, you love talking about him with your friends. When your friends insult him, like his haircut or the fact that he’s part of the chess club, your mouth starts talking back as if you were a lawyer defending their client.

The one question that makes everyone you know intrigued is: How come you’ve never had at least one interaction with him?

‘I saw Euijoo in the hallway first thing in the morning’. You write on the sticky note, passing it to your friend in the middle of your drama class. Your teacher has been too busy blabbering about her life in acting school for the past hour. You look up at the clock; it’s five before the bell rings. Some of your classmates are doing work, and others are on their phones. No one seems to be listening to her at all; they’re all waiting for the bell.

Yeojin passes a sticky note to you. ‘What did you do?’. She stared at you as you retold her what happened with your fingers. You tried to tell her that you walked past him, but she didn’t understand your gestures. “What?” she mouths. You lean close enough so she can hear your whispers.

“I walked past him,” you whisper lowly so the teacher wouldn’t notice but loud enough for Yeojin to hear. She covers her mouth, restraining herself from bursting into laughter. As the bell rings, your teacher mentions a project due in a few days while you get ready to leave.

The performing arts department is in a long, separate hallway away from regular classes. In that hallway is also the gym, where Euijoo finishes his class. The hallway is tiring for you and Yeojin, but all you want to do is get to your next class without having to see Euijoo. Yeojin leaves you for her class, which is the one near the exit of the hall. You’re here, walking alone to the end of the hall. Sometimes it takes you two minutes to get to your class or more, depending on the number of people. As you go through multiple people squished like sardines in a can and make your way to the end of the hall, you halt, hearing your name and an unfamiliar voice.

“Oh, Y/N, you dropped this,” Euijoo says as you look behind. He picks up a notebook from the floor and hands it to you. You’re frozen and silent, and he simply smiles at you and leaves. You run to your next class and sit down in your seat as you contemplate. Many things are happening at once—things that you found impossible.

He says your name and gives you your journal, the one place where you talk about him, then proceeds to smile at you. It sounds impossible, but it did indeed happen. But what’s really important is that he spoke to you.

You haven’t seen Euijoo since that interaction. You don’t see him in the hallways at school or in the living room at their house. Whenever Eunha calls him down for dinner, he’ll just stay silent or respond that he’s busy. When he did come out of his room, it was only to return your journal. Your best friend accidentally gave him your journal when he asked her to get his notebook.

It was a simple mistake; he didn’t mean to look inside. The outside looked like his, but the inside was totally different. When he opened a random page, he noticed how his notes were colourful, his handwriting was curvier than it should be, and the words were the total opposite of physics. He put his glasses on and immediately closed the book as he read the first sentence.

‘I miss Euijoo’. He quickly pushes the book off his table and backs away from it. He’s shocked in many ways. Those words are playing in his head on repeat. All he can imagine is your voice saying those words. He wants to know what else you say about him, but it’s wrong; it’s your privacy. He approaches the book but is wary of picking it up. His hands are trembling the more he moves closer, until the pads of his fingers touch the leather cover.

He leaves his room with the journal in his hand. His eyes meet with yours as he enters the living room, places your journal down on the coffee table, and grabs his. You quickly grabbed your journal and sat on it as he asked you a question before he walked out.

“Are you busy this Friday?”

[ now playing . . . ] the glue song by beabadoobee.

euijoo's eyes glance around the living room filled with all your lively friends, watching how your lips turn into toothy grin. it's big and goofy, and he can't help but mirror your expression as you intently listen to the other boy's banter.

it's not like he's paying much attention though, his eyes glued to you, and only you. the moonlight that emits from the window behind you shines softly. he thinks about how the lining it surrounds you with further proves just how pretty you are in any condition of the day.

k's voice snaps him out of his loving haze, the pink tint taking over his vision slowly fading as he pretends to listen to whatever you and his friends are muttering over.

"okay, what about you euijoo? you barely talked," everyone glances at him curiously as a soft coral tint blooms along the apple of his cheeks. "sorry, what were we talking about?" he asks bashfully, hand rubbing the nape of his neck, obviously embarrassed.

there's scattered laughter bouncing off the walls, "you haven't told us about your crush yet. everyone went already," you answer nonchalantly, almost missing the way his blush turns darker upon hearing your words.

he rolls his eyes before nicholas gives him a tiny shove, "c'mon bro, just say it!" the other boys nagging along as they await his answer.

he watches how your eyes trail back to him, "are they pretty?" you ask curiously, reaching over him to take a sip from his red solo cup full of lychee soju. his gaze follows you closely, eyes locking with yours over the edge of the cup as you take a long sip.

"very," he replies breathlessly before looking around the room.

biting back a knowing grin, you continue to drink from his cup before placing it back in front of him. it doesn't take long for the other boys to change the subject, practically leaving you and euijoo alone in your own world as you shoot heart eyes at one another.

"hey, i'm gonna go outside for some fresh air," you announce quickly before glancing at the shaggy-haired boy. you gesture your head towards the door, silently asking him to come along. he gets up hesitantly before following suit.

closing the door behind him, he looks over to see you sitting on the porch steps, practically curling into yourself in search of warmth. puffs of hot air meeting the frosty night sky. euijoo silently takes a seat next to you, sitting a bit closer than normal friends would.

you both stay silent and as you lean your head upon his shoulder, snuggling into it slightly as you try to get comfortable, euijoo swears you can hear his heartbeat pick up.

"thanks for coming with me," you say quiety, teeth chattering slightly due to the biting cold weather. he hums in response before lazily placing his head atop yours. "i think you're the only person i want to be with right now."

your words catch him off guard but he hums again, wrapping an arm around your shoulders and pulling you closer.

"i think you're the only person i wanna be stuck with too."
