happy valentine’s day from minzy ♡

Jiyong threw his head back and laughed a little too loud, bringing her to the middle of the dance floor, his laughter ringing out despite the music. He didn’t mind so much though even though his cheeks and eyes brightened up a bit. “Oh trust me, my legs are nowhere near as nice as yours are.” And then he added a little quieter, “At some point, we should have some kind of pantless competition to find out which of ours are really better though.” He let a wide grin spread over his face suggestively before laughing again, as though it was a joke, and almost crumbling.

He pulled her into his arms, finding a home for his hands at the base of her back, and swaying with her to the music. “I’m sorry I’m not the best dancer, I know, and you could probably sweep the floor with me, but I’ll do my best not to step on your feet.” He really needed to control himself now though, since he almost let it slip that if he did hurt her in any way, he would be more than happy to kiss it better later. He bit his lip in an effort to control himself.

“Anyway though, I really hope you enjoy tonight. I got us VIP tickets so we can go up to the balcony whenever you might want to.” He gave her his winning smile. “We can do anything you want to tonight, it’s all about you.” All about her and him and the two of them together because, god, he hadn’t been here a full five minutes yet and he was already ready to kiss her.

She giggled along with him while they stepped onto the dance floor, his adorable laughter tickling her insides. However, the soft chortle soon turned into a gasp upon hearing the suggestive comment. Minji playfully smacked his chest and added, “You make it sound like we’ve never ever seen each other without pants.” She returned a sly grin at the end of her statement before giving in to the laughter that was threatening to spoil the act. Minji was thankful for the mask and the dim lighting. At least her pink tinted cheeks were hidden from his sight. 

As his hands found their way behind her back, Minji curled her arms and rested them comfortably on his shoulders. His apology caught her off guard, her head shook lightly, indicating that it was unnecessary. “Don’t worry about it,” she assured him. “It’s not like we’re in a competition. Just relax. You’re good.” Minji nodded after that, but her eyes could not miss that lip bite. And the action alone spurred her desire to kiss him. 

He talked about anything that she wanted to do, which heightened the temptation to just lean in and press her lips on his. “Anything I want?” It took a lot of self control for her to refrain from doing so, not wanting to scare him off when they had just arrived. She wanted him to stay with her badly. The mere thought of being left alone on the dance floor again overrode the urge. “How about having that pantsless competition up on the balcony later on?” 

Since the day we started talking, you haven’t left my mind.

The entire next day felt like a blur for Jiyong. He was all nerves and ridiculous smiles, too wide and too bright for the normal grind of a day full of photoshoots. He was lucky to have gotten the chance to work on a shoot for Valentine’s Day, but his mind was a hundred miles away, centering only on what the evening with Minji would bring. He was so excited.

Minji was breathtaking in her dress and that mask, both of them sturdy enough to hide her face and figure, but still translucent enough to reveal sneak peeks. He could hardly focus on leading her properly through the doors of the building, and for even as pretty as the interior decorations all were, he couldn’t keep his eyes off her. She was radiant and he liked how happy she seemed, how rosy her cheeks were, the way her hands felt wrapped around his arm. Everything felt perfect.

He wanted to dance with her all night long, so the first thing he did was pull her out onto the floor. “You’ve got to let me spin you around a few times, to show off that dress and those legs.” Not that Jiyong had been staring at them or anything. Okay, maybe a little. He always stared at her legs though, whenever she wore shorts or skirts or tight pants.

On the day of the event, Minji woke up all cheerful with a bright smile on her face. The knowledge of spending the entire night with Jiyong was already a great start to the morning. She filled most of her day with preparations for the night. From getting her nails done to visiting the hairstylist, she wanted to look perfect that night, it was an important event after all. By the time she returned home, it was almost evening and Minji immediately started on her makeup. She opted for a minimal look (since most of her face would be covered anyway) but made sure to compensate it with full on red lips. 

All her efforts seemed to pay off, she felt fitting to stand beside him after being dolled up. It may have taken a while for her to dress up but upon seeing Jiyong in his suit, she was glad she went the extra mile. It would have been a shame if she had not. This was probably the first time she had seen him in a suit, it sort of reminded her of the prince charming she encountered at the Halloween ball. She wondered if they would end up kissing by the end of the night as well. The thought of actually kissing him made her shy yet excited at the same time. It could be wishful thinking, they might not kiss but the event had just started and there was no harm in hoping for it to happen. And maybe this time, her prince charming will not run away. 

Minji followed his lead onto the dance floor, blushing at his comment about her legs. “What’s there to show off? You’ve got legs too, come on now.” She was not complaining though. Dancing with him was one of the things she looked forward to, because then she had an excuse to stay close to him the entire time. If possible, she would want to dance all night long, as long as they could.

barking mad ;

He grins, bright and joyful at not only the idea of getting to walk the puppy himself, but that she thought the pup would enjoy it as much as he would (and of course, that as his owner, she had no complaints about it either.) “Really? I’d be honoured.” He gasps, as the leash is placed into his hand and he excitedly bounces as he walks along, the pup pulling him down the road slightly. 

“I do! Do you know ‘Note Worthy’? Music store a few minutes from here? I live there. My father owns it.” He smiles, nodding his head slightly. “But I work there, too, so I’m not out much. That’s probably why we’ve never bumped into each other before.” Her proposition is one that makes his heart soar and his excitement fill dangerously close to overflowing. “Really? That’d be great! I would love to.” But of course, he tries his best to hold it in for appearances sake. He doesn’t want her to think he’s crazy, or anything, right?

The name of the store sounded familiar, she knew where it was located. However, she never found the need to enter the music store he just mentioned. Probably now she has more reason to do so. “I think I’ve passed by the place a few times but never actually went into the store before,” she admitted with a sheepish grin. “I should drop by next time and visit you! Together with Dougie, of course.” 

She returned the smile, a wider one, the excitement he exuded was endearing. “I’m sure Dougie wouldn’t mind seeing you again. I can tell she likes you. I don’t think dogs are allowed in the store though, right?” She enquired, knowing that most shops have the ‘no pets’ policy. “That means you’ll need to come out if you want to see her. I’m not sure how’s the business like in your store... but are you allowed to take a break as and when you want?” 

Be My Happiness || Minji & Jiyong

It took some time but by mid afternoon, Jiyong had managed to cover every surface of the apartment with flowers. He couldn’t boast to having gotten her all red roses (waaay too expensive) but there was a fair amount of them, just also with some pinks and whites and yellows, some tulips and baby’s breath, and sunflowers, and daffodiles and all kinds he could afford. It was a lot and completely over the top, but he had a question to ask and he really, really didn’t want her to say no. He wanted her to be absolutely unable to refuse because, god, he didn’t know what he would do if she did.

No candles, since he had a fear of setting the flowers on fire, but dim lighting and soft music played in the background. He knew when she was supposed to arrive back home, so he waited, playing on his phone a little bit, until he heard her key scratching the lock so he stood in the center of the room. When she opened the door, he smiled at her expression. “Hi,” his smile widened, happy that his voice didn’t sound nearly as nervous as his stomach felt. “So before you say anything, let me explain. We didn’t get to go to high school together. We didn’t get to attend any proms or dances together, so I’ve never really seen you do any formal dancing and…. and I’d really like to. There’s a masquerade thing happening tomorrow night and I want you to come with me. As my date.” He picked up one of the red roses and stepped towards her, offering it. “Please say yes?”

Minji was in the middle of texting Kyuhyun that she had arrived safely back home when she opened the door, only to find that her entire apartment had been decorated with flowers. She stood still at the door, her eyes darting around to see if she had entered the right house. If Jiyong had not been standing in the center of it all, Minji would have mistaken this place for a florist shop. She laughed out of surprise and absentmindedly tuck her phone away. Her text to Kyuhyun left hanging in her outbox. 

“Oh my God, Jiyong... what is this?” It was out of genuine curiosity. What on Earth is happening that he needed that much flowers? 

Minji listened intently as he explained. She did not expect the flowers to be all for her, but as he offered her a red rose, Minji had to bite back a wide grin. Her face became warm just by the thought of them going to the event as a date and her chest swelled in happiness that he went to such an extent to ask her out. She wondered what his marriage proposal would be like. His future wife would be a really lucky woman. 

She retrieved the flower from his hands and took a brief whiff between the red petals, humming lightly at the sweet scent it offered. Stepping closer, Minji circled her arms around him and squeezed him in a tight embrace. Jiyong did not know this but she felt grateful. He truly was heaven sent. She had a long tough day and to come home to this instantly cheered her up. His efforts made her feel special and blessed, Minji never regretted asking him to move in with her despite how risky their  situation is. 

“Of course I will, silly.” There was no way she could say no when he practically placed a whole garden in the apartment. “Thank you for all this, you’ve not only made my day, but the florist’s too!” 

&& minji • 아름다운 그대

“i’ll record you the best wake up call you’ve ever heard. just try not to fall in love with me.” she even accentuated her joke with a hair flip, her mood already growing better just from being around minji. she had that kind of effect. it was why she loved being around her so much. minji was an absolute sweetheart and it made jihyo’s day instantly better whenever she entered the salon. they’d both had shitty experiences surrounding their interviews so she was determined to get over it alongside the girl beside her.

hunter usually poked fun whenever jihyo got emotional like this but he knew her best and he was a pillar of support for her as she was for him but if someone were to not know how much of a softie she was at heart, they usually got surprised like how minji seemed startled. she laughed through the tears, grateful tears, not at all brought down but amused by minji’s panicked reaction. “it’s fine! they’re happy tears.” squeezing her in the hug, she swayed them before releasing her from the bear hug and even smiled at her to show her that the tears were gone completely.

it seemed the idea of shopping was universal and as minji showed excitement so did jihyo. she grinned. shopping was one of the best ways for her to get away from stress and it was how most of her money ended up disappearing but she had money to spare this time around. she waved off minji’s concerns. “i’ll be fine. i’ll grab something on the way. we have more important things to worry about.” shouting out to let her boss know she was leaving, she guided minji alongside her out into the mall. it was so convenient everything was so close. the perks of a mall job.

Minji lifted a hand and waved to the staff members when they exited. “Let’s grab your lunch first,” she suggested as soon as they were out of the salon, heading towards an unknown direction. This shopping trip was rather unplanned. Given the short lunch break, she hoped that it would be fruitful nonetheless. There was no need to travel since they were already in a shopping mall, thankfully. That earned them more time to spend with each other and inevitably that could mean more money spent too. 

She gave Jihyo’s tummy a light poke, “You need some energy before you can shop till you drop.” Her own stomach grumbled. The sound was loud enough to be audible that it caused Minji to laugh. “Seems like my tummy is pretty grumpy too. Recommend me something. What’s your favourite here?” She rarely ate at this particular mall, only being here whenever her nails needed a touch up. Hence, Minji had no clue what kind of food was offered. 

However, when an eye-catching ice cream parlour signage came into view, she stopped in her tracks. That definitely got her attention. She pulled Jihyo’s arm lightly and led her into the shop. Her mouth began to water upon seeing the variety of ice cream flavours sitting behind a glass panel. She let Jihyo go and rested her palms against the glass, her eyes scanning the colourful array. Minji wanted to try everything on display. “I know it’s lunch but... wow, just look at that.” Whatever Jihyo would recommend needed to wait, because she desperately needed to get that rockmelon sorbet.

lost duckling * angel & minzy

               a lost wolf that strayed away from its pack, just like as she was a little girl when she first got to england, she was surely lost. though, the scenario was a lot more different now than compared to before ( because her parents were still alive ). angel was terrible when it came to reading maps, so there was honestly no need to drag one along. “i’m glad you do, where do you live—if that’s okay with me asking and all..?” she didn’t want to seem like a creep to the other girl,

               she shrugged her shoulders cheekily, it would take a month(s) time for her to have remembered most of seoul. maybe she’d have to go on google maps when she had the time, a great idea for her to study seoul. “yeah…” she looked over at what minji was doing, curious like a tiny mouse. “i heard the fastest route to go back to yongsan was a subway or maybe i can take the bus? is it safe?”

               “honestly..” she pursed her lips, speaking korean for her wasn’t a problem but she was a lot more comfortable with english than anything else. “i’m more comfortable with speaking english, but speaking korean for me isn’t necessarily a problem..” she took a quick pause, “it’s just—i’m not used to it is all. i spoke it at home, i was taught how to speak, read, write, and understand the language.”

               “i speak four languages—russian, english, japanese, and korean. so my brain gets pretty fried and stirred up after awhile.”

Minji was a little wary about her question, the other female was a stranger after all. There was a fleeting thought that this girl could be involved in a gang of some sort and giving out personal information might land herself into trouble. However, she did appear genuinely lost and there was no need to specify the exact address of her apartment so Minji pushed those thoughts aside and simply replied, “I live in Gangnam.” 

“I’m not entirely sure with the routes so I usually try Google Maps. But Google Maps is quite problematic so I use it with NaverApp to navigate around,” she tapped on the screen, in an attempt to show her how to use it. “Or if needed, you can ask people along the way. Just like what you’re doing now. I can leave you my number too if you’d like.” Although Minji did think that’s not necessarily the best if she bumped into someone like her, who is just as clueless about travelling to different parts of the city. 

Nonetheless, advanced technology proved helpful whenever Minji wanted to go somewhere but did not find anyone friendly enough to provide the directions. “It says here the subway would be the fastest, but yes, a bus is possible too. Safety-wise, well it depends on what kind of passengers but I tend to avoid crowds.” She pointed out the fastest route showcased by the app to Angel, hoping it was clear enough. 

“It’s great that you are fluent in all those languages especially Korean, you would have not much of a problem with these navigation apps then. How about you try it now?”
