jaebum’s fifth cat 🐈 bonus:

eyes on jinyoung

He was your best friend. He had always been your best friend.

So when he tells you he loves you, grabs your hand and admits he’s always loved you, you’re not sure what to think.

All your eyes can do is widen, mouth going dry as you try to process his words and what they mean.

You can feel your heart beating, feel it thumping against the walls of your chest, threatening to push past your rib cage and break free.

His hand is still engulfing yours, a question on his lips. He can read your face, your expressions, like no one else can. So he doesn’t ask, doesn’t say a word. He lets you figure things out in your own head, lets you reach a conclusion on your own.

He knows you’ll get there, he just has to give it time.

“You love me?”

“Yes,” he says, voice gentle as he takes a hesitant step towards you, “I’ve always loved you, always wanted just you.”

“You never told me. We’ve known each other our entire lives?”

He shrugs, “I was scared. It’s cliche but I was. You’re my best friend. And losing you was unacceptable. But it gets harder every day – loving you but not being able to love you openly. So I had to tell you. And here we are.”

His chuckle is gently, like the fingers still pressed against your palm. Your mind is sorting through it all and you know the answer. You know what your heart screams, what you feel and have been feeling for awhile. 

“If I tell you, right now, that I love you too…this isn’t like a movie Jaebum-ah. Things won’t magically be perfect in a blink of an eye, simply because we love each other.”

“I know,” his voice is serious, “but I never thought it would be. I just wanted you to know. I wanted to be able to say it out loud. Whatever you say next won’t make me regret telling you. Or loving you.”

He was your best friend. He had always been your best friend.

“Easy or not, I love you. I have always loved you, always wanted just you too.”

His smile calmed your racing heart and you knew you made the right decision.

The place is packed when you arrive, the smell of caffeine instantly assaulting you as you crane your neck to look for Jinyoung.

He had promised to be on time and snag your favorite table but you couldn’t see him over the too tall people in front of you, still deciding between a cold brew or an iced americano. 

When you phone rings, you absentmindedly answer while your eyes continue to search, “Hello?”

“Literally, you’re so short. I’m at our table and I can see you ducking and dodging like a damn flamingo.”

Your shoulders sag and you huff out a disbelieving laugh, “Flamingos don’t even duck or dodge genius. And excuse you, I’m average height.” You weave past a few people and there he is, phone against his ear, smile smug as you hang up and throw yourself into the seat across from his.

“Averagely short you mean,” he teases as he slides you a pastry from his side of the table. It’s your favorite one, a still warm raspberry lemon scone, and your eyes light up in delight. “That was the last one and I almost had to throw fists with an older woman who wanted it for her seemingly younger boyfriend so be happy while you chew that with your mouth open. Gross. Tell me why I love you again?”

You don’t pay him any mind, eyes scanning the paperwork laid out in front of him as you – yes – eat with your mouth kind of open. Only kind of. 

“Shut up, you love because you love me. Thank you for the delicious pastry and please tell me all this isn’t for your dissertation?”

He smiles and shrugs, arms crossing his chest as he leans back. “Of course it is. But it’s coming together so don’t worry. Here, your coffee. Before it gets cold.”

He maneuvers the large mug of liquid around his work and your fingers wrap around it, a happy feeling spreading through you as you take a sip and sigh in content. 

Jinyoung can only watch you, something akin to adoration in his eyes, before he grabs his own coffee and focuses on his work again. You copy his movements, pulling out notes from your latest lecture, rolling out a few pens on the hastily covered sheets of paper. He grabs your hand at the last second, squeezing the digits as if to say ‘I love you’ even though his eyes don’t meet yours. 

They don’t have to.  You squeeze back and you know he knows too.

So you work, one in front of the other, as the café around you buzzes and the coffee helps keep you warm.

It’s Jaebum’s excited exclamation that wakes you from your spot on the couch.

It’s way past any normal person’s bedtime, the clock reading just minutes to three in the morning. 

You scrub at your tired eyes with the heel of your hand, the soft material of your sweater soothing against your eyelids. Jaebum’s broad back is to you but you don’t need to see him to tell he’s excited, even in the early hour.

“What’s got you so excited babe,” you wonder, leaning forward to press your cheek to his shirt.

He’s smiling down at the pile of papers before him, messier than it had been when you started songwriting after dinner hours ago. He had asked for your help on a particular chorus but you had hit a roadblock soon after you completed dessert. You don’t know when you had fallen asleep but Jaebum was the type to keep going until the song was written. Until is was perfect.

“It’s done babe. It only took…eight hours…but it’s done. Do you want to hear it?”

You do, you love the sound of his voice and his excitement was so evident, but your drooping eyelids has him chuckling quietly instead.

“Maybe after breakfast,” he whispers, noticing your breath evening out. Leaving everything spread out as it was, he scoops you into his arms and hums as he carries you off to bed.

“We drift from star to star, your soul and mine  as one.

We fall nearer to the moon – we fly closer to the sun.”

- Lang Leav, ‘The Universe of Us’

he promised you the world and he never broke his promises.

he said he’d always be there and so far, every morning his puffy cheeks were the first thing you’d see when you opened your eyes.

he swore to always love you and there wasn’t a moment you didn’t feel that never ending love – from the way he held your hand or the small smiles he sent you when he thought you weren’t looking.

and when he said ‘i do’ in front of all your friends and family, you knew he meant it and you couldn’t help but shed incredibly happy tears.

…makeup be damned.

for @parkhabits – honestly she’s inspiration af lol

Sending my love back to @imdifferentshadesofpurple.  #housewivesG7 Mark Tuan

• So he actually started with this small business idea not thinking anyone would actually go
• But he wanted something that he would be proud of 
• And thought this would just be something he would love no matter what instead of some boring office job
• He had money saved up and he had a giant book collection from old childhood favorites and books that he bought from thrift shops and other stuff
• So why not sell them to people who would like to read the books?
• His location was actually in the perfect place for a startup business.
• It was right where all the cool hip thrift shops are with a bunch of cafes nearby 
• So there’s a lot of foot traffic which means a ton of potential customers
• So Jinyoung got a good deal for the building’s lease and was ready to decorate it
• He separated it all into sections
• He out bean bags in the kids sections and has it really nicely decorated 
• Owns a lot of poetry books and he was worried no one would by those 
• But lets be realistic a lot of hipsters are fake deep and love poetry so those were a hit
• His business was slow at first and it was really heartbreaking because he thought no one would come to the store 
• But it was getting lots of attention and due to the fact hispters were mainly there a lot more and more people kept coming 
• So he expanded some sections and was using one of the back rooms as a storage place for some books and whatever he wanted to get rid of quickly
