ׄ ͡˙༅ೄྀ♥︎ �Just another love song, about you !
***introducing!... Enhypen as Beabadoobee songs, oneshots (I love bea so so much!)
Heeseung - you're here that's the thing
I feel like this just suits him so so well. The soft melody and the emotional words, a song about not knowing what you are to someone. What the relationship is. But being okay with just being, being theirs. Being so hopelessly in love that you take what ever the person gives you, even if they don't truly care.
And I think a sweet sad song like this suits him. He's friendly and warm, normally a perfectionist but with love? He's just so in love that he doesn't see the bad.
He strikes me as a receiving gifts and words of affirmation kind of guy, tell him you love him, call him handsome and he'll be all over you, gifts and kisses. He's just in love, let him be ><
Something tells me he knows this song, like bros trying to be nonchalant and I know he likes bea!.. But he's just a silly little guy (23yr and 6ft...)
I think he's a hopeless romantic but definitely has a realistic romantic in him. He's hopeless for his partner and so in love but he knows how the world works, he won't be so romantic always if it isn't reciprocated, he isn't the kind of guy to look at the world through rose tinted glasses. He does love the thought of romance though.

Another harshly relatable song!!... Yippee! The opposite of the last, where it was about desperately wanting and needing love. This one? He doesn't need love. He wants it sure but he doesn't need it. It's a nice concept but sometimes love is just about wanting human connections. Not a real person who you love desperately.
As the song explains sometimes we just need human connections. Someone to hold us as we sleep, someone to tell us we're a good person yk? And I think he needs and deserves that. To me I think it would take a lot for him to start an actual relationship, especially with his career. He just needs a person, maybe more friends than romance.
He's definitelyyyyy a physical contact and quality time kind of guy. He just needs comfort and soft romance, a kiss on the cheek or head. A hug or hand holding. Nothing too passionate.
He's definitely a realistic romantic and a guarded romantic, he's so stuck in his ways of not needing that when he does he's too scared to opened up to people who really love him. But he's working on it. One step at a time and one kiss at a time.
Trust me when he finds someone he's crazy for he'll be locked IN. No more random calls at night, no more acting like a friends with benefits situationship. He's asking you out immediately!!
Jake - beaches (or cologne)
A literally sunshine but has a almost sexy (ew ew ew I hate writing that) side to him. Like a more masculine hot side, but he's a golden retriever through and through. Beaches is all about feelings and not being afraid to take that step. And it is him!!
But I had to add cologne because like... It's literally about sex, which I hate to sexualize him but have you seen his photoshoots?... He's doing it on purpose officer I'm innocent I swear :(
I like to think of cologne as a more... Passionate song 🤗 it's raw and straightforward about well.. Passion! And he's a very passionate guy, in his career, in everything.
I seriously love him sm to me he is every love song :) he's definitely a hopeless romantic like... Look at himmmm!! He's just a guy who falls and falls FAST. He just loves to spread joy and love!
I don't think he's very picky either tbh, he loves who he loves! Looks don't matter much to him (even though he's a Greek statue???) obviously he has to be attracted to you, kinda how a relationship works!!... But yeah, he's not gonna have a list of standards, as long as you both love each other and you're okay with the long distance you're gonna work :)
Sunghoon - ever seen
Eeeeee I love this song and I love him, I love all these guys but likeeeeee!! My little baby, trust me he is the compliment KING. Likeee this song. He is the embodiment of it frrr. " said I had the prettiest eyes he'd ever seen " is soo him.
This song is literally about compliments and lovey dovey almost like the honeymoon stage of a relationship. And this boy is always gonna be in the honeymoon stage. Just so in love and amazing and handsome and adorable and flirty and talented and suave. Very suave.
He gives me such words of affirmation and acts of service. He needs to know you love him, and believe me he will definitely let you know he loves you.
He's like... A hopeless romantic to me, very affectionate. He's on tour? He'll call you CONSTANTLY. You're at work? Yup. Calling. Constantly. He's sending photos, buying you dumb tiny gifts, thousands of texts. He's so desperate and adorable despite his normally nonchalant act.
Just love him. He's like a little shy kitty, love him and he'll soften up to your warmth and kisses!! ><
Sunoo - glue song
Angel. Literally a living angel. Tis him my Lord. My babyyyy eeee! He's the embodiment of this song!!! The soft loving lyrics and the gentle tune, if he wasn't cosplaying a vampire all the time this would be his solo career TRUST.
He loves love. Kissing and holding, living in each other's warmth. Simple moments too. Hand holding or cuddles on the couch. Laying in bed as the sun filters through the blinds or curling up on the floor and crying together. All the raw emotion from love. He's that kinda lover. Raw, romantic and real.
Glue is so him. The attachment and bond to a new kind of love that you don't want to lose. A real true lovely wonderful fairy tale love. The joy and new emotions when finding new love like this. That is this song. That is him!!
He's just a ball of love. Definitely a hopeless romantic but also an adventurous romantic. He wants to explore new love and new things but he's so devoted to the love and fostering it.
Obviously there's ups and downs but he's a rock through it all. He's really just an amazing guy, a amazing silly guy who is just loving life and romance. (And he needs to release music like this or I will flip.)
Jungwon - apple cider
A song about small crushes and innocent love, denial and confusion with crushes and matched with its soft upbeat guitar and melody that makes it sound youthful and almost nostalgic to young crushes. And lots of denial.
And he is in denial. Completely. He refuses to believe that it isn't just a small one time crush. He isn't the biggest romantic in my eyes. He likes love but isn't constantly striving for it always. He isn't that kind of guy to me. He has crushes but not partners.
So when he does.. It's weird and different. Amazing to have this love but he's so lost. Kisses on the cheek and hand holding are all he can do for the first while but give him time to improve!! From soft gracing touches to long kisses and waist holding, all baby needed was some time to learn.
He's a more practical romantic and a bit cynical at first. He loves you really! He's just.. Worried and nervous. About messing up or hurting feelings.
But he's taking it day by day and with love and support? He's got it, he'll be an expert in no time trust me >< trust meeee!!
Ni-ki - dance with me
(I wanna dance with him </3 I just want him one chance please) this song is kinda similar to some of the others but it's a underrated gem soooo!!! with her young vocals and indie pop melody this song is all about the intimacy of human touch and connection, dance being the metaphor, finding comfort in moving together on the dancefloor and the carefree feeling of it all.
It's so whimsical and youthful like lots of her older music (this is from the " patched up " ep!!) And it really suits Riki, especially the dancing metaphors. The coolness of her vocals and the flow of the song really have that smoothness that he carries himself with. Confidence and suave but such a little weirdo under it all.
To me?? Boys a mess at romance. Not that he's bad with feelings but bad at telling them, expressing them. He tries truly but he's young and clueless to love really.
almost... Old school romance vibes? Hand written notes and letters, it's easier from him to express his feelings really... Once he opens up though? Full on quirky weirdo!! Literally the goofiest guy on earth. Silly weird pickup lines and constant kisses, he's falling hardddd.
He's probably got Beabadoobee in one of his playlists... Though he strikes me as more of a " This is how tomorrow moves " or " Beatopia " guy rather than her older eps (no hate to these albums though beatopia is my CHILD).
Aaaaa yayayaya god bea is my everything!!! (@eunwonji it's out ><)

↝ “ HOW DO I CONTROL MYSELF? ” 0003
***Introducing...! Riki.N x F.reader ٭ smau and some writing٭ exes to friends to lovers ٭ some swearing, angst, this is the desperate Ni-ki chapter!...٭ last , m.list, next
***After moving away last year to escape rumors and bullying... You're moving back!! To the same school, same friends and... Your ex bf, who made you move in the first place
💌- Deeply apologize because this took too long to come out, it's been rotting in drafts >< well part of it and I finished the rest the now! (Tmr is my first day back at school I'm going to cry wdym it's almost 3am??)
As you responded to replies to you tweet you didn't even notice the line moving till something.. Someone, at full force slammed into your back, you wobbled but caught your balanced and turned around, you were greeted with the one face you didn't want to see at all being back here. Riki. Shit.
As you went to open your mouth, to apologize for being oblivious, causing the interaction he beat you to it "um... Hi, sorry" he said, voice sounding different than you remembered. Maybe more gritty? Older. Either way he had an unusual smile on his lips which immediately threw you off guard. He wasn't sorry. He looked like he was holding back a laugh, god he'd tell his friends about this and make you the laughing stock. Again.
So you turned around, stepped out of line, and sped walked faster than you ever had before down the corridor and into the safety of the girls bathroom, into a stall and sat on the toilet, knees to your chest as you tried to swallow the embarrassment. So much for avoiding him on your first day.

***Introducing...! Lee Heeseung x F.reader ✿ he's literally so adorable I want him so bad ✿ sexy to someone by Clairo ✿ self-consciousness (?) warning ✿ m.list
💌- what do we think abt the new theme/layout? I made the gif #sosigma 💪 I think he kinda looks like the charm album cover here?.. Just me?.. Okay 😞
..............................................................................................
As you read your yearbook you saw the notes people had written you. "I didn't know you very well but you seemed nice" or "good luck" sure they were written with nice intent but it felt so empty, written for the sake of writing something. So you wouldn't feel bad. But it felt worse.
None of them had noticed you until you all were leaving. You had friends, very little but it was enough. But sometimes you felt inferior, your friends had other friends. You didnt. But there was one note on a page by itself. You couldn't remember who signed it and there wasn't a name...
It read "Hi, we haven't spoken much. I've been mainly embarrassed to, you wouldn't like me or I would humiliate myself. But I hope whatever you choose after school fills you with fulfillment and joy. I wish I could've had the courage to speak to you, maybe I couldn't made you feel that way. I mean you're smile is gorgeous, Just seeing you everyday makes me feel like I'm lucky. Every time. And you're so talented, when I have to read over your writing it's so perfect. Like you. Even if we don't speak. Even if you don't know me. But have fun after graduation, I hope I can speak to you one day if we meet again :)"
Huh? At first you were weirded out and confused. But as you read it.. It was sweeter than anyone else's notes and you didn't even know the person. Nicer and more heartfelt than your best friends note. You loved her to bits but she was busy with others so you didn't really have as many memories to put into ink.
But this person, this guy or girl.. They said you were pretty? They wanted to know you? Not by force but by choice..
Weird. God whoever wrote that was weird. and sweet and caring. But for the most part weird.
You tossed the book onto your mattress and put your head into your palms, you needed to find this mystery writer. Stupid idea really, but it was your last week and you wanted to find this person before you left school forever.
So the next day you started your plan. You were in your class.. They'd wrote about your writing... So they had to be in your english class surely? You sat and tried to pretend to pay attention, eyes scanning the room for potential culprits. Your desk was sat between two people. Some boy you didn't know the name of but he never even looked up from his desk so it surely wasn't him. Hell half the time he wasn't even there.
And the other person was Jake. Well.. That's what his friends called him. You weren't his friend so... Sim Jaeyun. He was a flirt. But he'd never shown any interest in you, hel he acted like you were invisible, the only time he looked at you was when he was talking to the mystery boy at your other side.
Was it him? I mean... He was gorgeous.. Very very handsome. If it was him.. Wow. So you'd ask him, you wrapped a page from your english jotter, you scrubbed down your question quick.
" hi, did you write the long message in my year book? " you crumbled the paper up and slipped it onto his desk. There. Now you wait till he notices, it didn't take long however, he picked it up and unfolded it, he scoffed and smirked "nope, try him sweetheart" he pointed at the other boy and turned back to his papers... That... Didn't go as expected.
You turned to the other boy, face practically hidden in a hoodie, he was so invested into whatever he was doing. You tapped his shoulder "excuse me.. Hi" you said and he looked up, you felt your throat dry. He... He had the prettiest brown eyes ever, as the artificial lights hit them they had a honeylike glisten to them. And you were lost in his doe eyes. You didn't even hear his response "um... Yes? Hello?" He said with a small smile "you like.. Zoned out."
You nodded immediately and flushed "um yeah, uh, did you sign like a really long paragraph into my yearbook? I know it's a random weird question but it mentioned something that I thought related to this class so... " you said, word vomit pouring out your mouth before you could stop your self, as he went to respond.. The bell went. Shit. He smiled "meet me at lunch? In... This classroom?" He said and walked away,
God this whole situation was weird. The letter. The prime suspect?? Hopefully it was him and he wasn't wasting your time. That would be embarrassing. Was it so bad you wanted to know the identity of a boy who found you pretty? You felt so special and you clung onto the feeling.
So there you were. Sandwich bag in hand outside the English room leaning against the door. He appeared out of nowhere from the corridor. Soft smile and a drink in his hand, he waved gently and stepped closer.
"Um.. Hi, let's talk inside yeah?" His voice was so soft and awkward. Cute.
"Yeah sure, what did you want to tell me? Was the note you?" You said as you both went into the class, he leaned against the teachers desk and nodded "yeah, god it's embarrassing, but I meant every word.. I mean.. I do think you're gorgeous, and smart and totally cool" he smiled.
"Cool? Me?" You smiled gently and laughed "but thank you. It was... So sweet"
"Of course.. Um.. Can we be friends? I'd love to get to know you, even if we're graduating this week.. We could text or.. " he rambled on and you took both his hands into yours "sure, I'd love to" he smiled in response and nodded.
"Oh. I'm. Heeseung by the way.. I probably should've said that before" he laughed, you smiled and said your name in response "you're names really pretty" you said to him.
He smiled and nodded "um.. You wanna sign my yearbook?... I just got mine today so I don't have that many" he pulled it out his back and held it out. You took it and wrote down a message.
"I think you're pretty too Heeseung, enjoy graduation !" And right under it was your phone number, written in swirly letters and hearts and x's around them.
He blushed like crazy "ah, thanks.. I'll see you later?" He said and nodded "sure. Bye Heeseung" you smiled and he left. You stayed for a bit before leaving yourself. He was so pretty, a gentleman really.. And he wanted to know you.
You were attractive to somebody. To him. And you were happy to see where it would go.
You heard your phone buzz and smiled at the message as you noticed you sent it.
"Hi! I was wondering if you wanna go for coffee tomorrow after class? :)"
You texted him back "ofc I'd love to ♡" so that was that. You had a date tomorrow. Maybe graduating wouldn't be so bad, wouldn't be so lonely.

love day fics go hard 😻

Back to The Library
Book Title: The Mole Theory (Non-idol!Park Sunghoon x gn!reader)
Genre: Fluff, reincarnation/soulmate-ish? AU, college AU (Valentine’s fic)
Proofread: No (if any inconsistencies, especially with pronouns, let me know.)
Word Count: 2.7k
Now playing: “Apocalypse” by Cigarettes After Sex
Content Warnings: this is a work of fiction and is not meant to assume how any real, not fiction person acts in their personal life, gn!reader, 3rd person POV (they/them used to reference reader), fluff, slight angst, reader initially thinks they’re not meant to be loved (incorrect for reader and for you), Y/n not used but “____” in place of a name, reader has two moles (1 on lips, 1 on underside of their jaw) but they aren’t visible unless someone’s really looking for them, random character “Ash” is reader’s friend, awkward kiss scene right at the end.
Author’s Note: I’m really nervous abt writing this cus I’ve never written for a real person before😭then my irl pointed out that when I write, I should write what I want cus it’s for me and not anyone else. It’s a little late in the day but still Valentine’s Day where I am, so enjoy! (Also, this is the specific photo I’m using for reference for his lil moles.😽😽)
____ was convinced they weren’t meant to be loved in any life. But they came to terms with that a very long time ago. It wasn’t something to stress over for them. It was just one of those things that simply wasn’t meant to be. This was unknowingly confirmed when a friend told them about the “mole theory.”
“That doesn’t even sound like a real thing.” They gave Ash a look of disbelief as they took a sip of their drink. The cafe around them served as a comfy hang out spot the pair frequented before and after class — today’s case was the former. Ash got her usual of a simple hot coffee with a couple of sugar packets and a splash of milk while ____ got their favorite.
“I swear it is!” Ash laughs, setting her drink down and pulling out her phone to open Google. “Look,” she handed them the phone, “it’s this myth or legend-like thing that says wherever you have a mole is where your lover in a past life kissed you the most! Isn’t it romantic? I mean at this point-”
____ sort of tuned Ash out as they sat their own drink to the side and scrolled through whatever article Ash had opened. It said practically the same as whatever Ash was spewing — at least they assumed it did. They really weren’t able to listen to her drone on about her boyfriend while reading an article.
“Okay, so” ____ cuts Ash off before she can get too deep into a spill about how cute she thought one of her boyfriend’s habits was, “what’s the point of this again?”
They hand her phone back to her as she deadpans a little. “Did you not hear the first half of what I said?” When met with a blank stare and a small shrug from ____, Ash sighs and repeats a summary of what she’d been saying. “I said, if this legend is true then it basically proves the existence of past lives! I mean, everyone has moles. Plus, it’s just so romantic to imagine that you were loved so deeply in a past life that it left a permanent mark on you in the next,” she practically swoons.
“I don’t have any moles,” ____ points out. They look down at their arms, twisting them side to side a bit to reveal skin with as many moles as a block of concrete. They go over their body in their mind, not recalling a single one that they’ve been able to see.
“I can almost guarantee you have at least one mole somewhere on your body,” Ash says with a confident expression, her arms crossed over her chest and her body leaning back in the booth.
____ just shakes their head with another shrug. “Can’t say I’ve ever seen one. Guess love wasn’t meant to find me in this life or the last.” They say it so casually and with such honest belief that Ash can only stare at them with a lightly incredulous look. But before Ash can rebuttal her friend’s self-deprecating words, ____’s phone buzzes and chimes with an alarm. “That’s my alarm to head to class. See you later?” they say, grabbing their drink and their bag without another word.
However, as much as they don’t want to admit it, the thought that they weren’t loved in this life or the next weighed on them a little. They thought back to the times they could’ve used a partner’s shoulder to cry on and the holidays they’ve been missing out on couple activities during. They would always tease Ash about her being excited to celebrate things like Valentine’s Day when her and her boyfriend could just show that same appreciation for each other every day (not that the couple didn’t anyway).
Then their mind wandered back to the mole theory in specific. They realized just about everyone she knew had at least one mole on their arm, leg, or even their collarbone. But they can’t recall a single one on their own body and face. The other people must’ve been loved lots in their past lives. Park Sunghoon, for example, has at least three just on his face. ____ wouldn’t be shocked if they were scattered all over the guy. What’s not to love?
Sunghoon and ____ were friends. The two weren’t as close as he was with the boys he grew up with, but they were close enough that they would sit next to each other and have idle chats if either one of them were in the same place without any of their other friends. It didn’t happen often. However even with their interactions being as rare as they were, it wasn’t hard for ____’s feelings to be affected.
Sunghoon was easy to be around. He was easy to talk to, very calm (with the exception of being around his friends), and was a great listener. Although ____ could’ve sworn he might’ve been spacing out several times prior, staring unblinkingly at different points of rooms and at different people. (They would bet their life on catching him staring at their lips once in a class the two shared, but it was more than likely a coincidence.) They shook the thought of Sunghoon out of their mind as much as possible as they walked to their class.
Valentine’s Day rolled around a couple days after Ash and ____’s cafe conversation. Ash and ____ had exchanged the small valentines they’d had a tradition of giving each other since childhood, Ash and her boyfriend going out for the rest of the day afterwards. ____ had exams coming up soon, so they decided to head to the library for a few hours to prepare.
It was quiet, as per usual. There were some simplistic, non-distracting valentines decorations scattered around. ____ nodded in a polite hello to the librarians as they made their way to their favorite table. They could count on one hand the amount of people in the library on the love holiday, excluding their self and the librarians. Even if they were included, ____ wouldn’t need ten fingers to count the current capacity of the building.
____ had been reading over notes and copying them down a couple times each for about an hour before an unexpected voice softly spoke up.
“Can I sit with you?”
____ jumped a bit at the voice, not expecting anyone to approach them. What was even more unexpected — but currently happening — was to see that the voice belonged to Sunghoon.
They quickly composed themself, giving a small smile and a polite nod. Sunghoon mirrored the smile and took the seat opposite ____. They had to admit to themself that a slight feeling of surprise fell over them at seeing him here instead of him being out with someone. With who, they weren’t sure, but they certainly didn’t expect him to be with them in the library.
The curiosity scratched at their mind for a while before they finally decided to quietly ask, “No holiday plans?”
Sunghoon looked up from his own notes and shook his head a little. “No one I felt like going out with. You?” His tone matched theirs, the softness in his voice giving them butterflies.
____ copied his head shake with a slight smile. “No one felt like being with me.”
Sunghoon seems to consider their words for a moment before muttering, “I felt like it.”
This surprised them a little. He’d just said there wasn’t anyone he had wanted to go out with, but he admitted he felt like being with them. The admittance, no matter the intended meaning, brought a wave of flustered heat to their face. They quickly looked back to their notes, a small “oh” escaping them in response.
The pair went back to their respective note taking, working in silence. At least, Sunghoon had returned to working. ____ couldn’t help but repeat his words in their head, sneaking a glance at him after a while. Their eyes were quickly drawn to the trio of his most prominent moles, darting between them as if studying them more intently than the notes for their tests. Their eyes started at the one just to the side of the bridge of his nose, on his right side but on their left. It was probably the darkest of the three, yet the second was the most prominent. It rests on the opposite cheek from the first mole. It would be one of the first details of his face that anyone would notice. Their gaze then traveled to the third mole. It was the lightest and the smallest, under the same eye as the first one. It was also closest to his lips, probably the second feature anyone’s eyes would be drawn to.
The mole theory rushes to the forefront of their mind. The first mole had obviously been the place Sunghoon’s past lover had kissed the most of the three, the darkness making this evident. They imagined their own kiss making the spot even darker in his next life, this thought making way for the thought of his lips leaving a love mark on ____ in their own next life. They tried to force the thought out of their mind, but it only evolved into them trying and failing to not think about how his lips would feel on theirs. Would that be a place he preferred to kiss often? Would it be often enough to leave a mark after this life comes to an end? The swirling of these thoughts in their mind made ____ practically rip their gaze away from him and make an attempt to pretend to focus their attention on their notes for another half hour.
They eventually give up with a small sigh, leaning back in their seat. They let their head fall back, and their eyes close. Sunghoon takes this as a sign of frustration with studying and lifts his gaze to them.
“Frustrated with notes?” His voice reaches them, but they don’t let their eyes go back to him knowing they’d get flustered and warm all over again. Instead they decide to let him believe that and just offer a slight nod. A few beats of silence pass between them before the scraping of a chair being pushed away from a table and back to it sounds out. ____ thinks he just decided to leave, until they hear the chair next to them make the same noises. They open their eyes and see Sunghoon being exceptionally close to their side, moving their notes close to him and reading over them.
“What are you doing?” ____’s whisper is full of shock as Sunghoon continues to read over their notes.
After a second, he looks over to them with another signature soft smile. “Helping you with your work. You said you were frustrated, right?”
____ has to force their mind to focus on his question instead of the scent of his cologne and the warmth of his arm so close to theirs. They only manage a soft nod, not trusting their voice to give out on them even in a whisper. They decide their mind is playing tricks on them when it sees his eyes flick to their lips for less than a millisecond before he turns to their notes again. ____ decides they might be going insane as they see the very tips of his ears glow a soft red.
Sunghoon and ____ go over the notes for another hour before they both decide to be done with work for the day. ____ has to beat another bout of butterflies down as Sunghoon suggests getting a post-study snack together.
They walk to the campus convenience store with light conversation filling the occasional silence. Nothing of major importance is said before or while they get their snacks. Until the two decide to eat their snacks in the park. They have a seat at one of the benches — the warmth and cologne ____ felt from him before returning even more intensely with how small the bench was — and eat their snacks in relative silence.
After a few minutes, ____ decides to bring up the mole theory out of sheer curiosity for his opinion. “Ash — my friend, I think you’ve met — told be about it the other day.”
“It sounds interesting. I like it,” he admits with a soft smile. “It’s romantic.”
“That’s what Ash said,” ____ nods, “but I kinda thought it was silly. It’s a less convincing argument than deja vu.” ____ continues their small rant while Sunghoon quietly gazes at them in listening. “I mean, practically everyone has that and can’t really explain it. At least not with a sure fire round of solid evidence. Not everyone has moles. For example, me. There’s not a single mole anywhere on my body.”
Sunghoon’s eyebrows furrow slightly, and he tilts his head with a confused expression. “What are you talking about? You have at least two.”
____ turns their attention to him with their own confused expression. “What are you talking about? I’ve never seen one and I’ve kinda lived in this body for my whole life.
____’s heart nearly stops as Sunghoon reaches up and leaves the lightest touch on the underside of the left jaw bone. “That’s one of them. It’s darker than…” He moves his touch to the very edge of ____’s bottom lip, directly in the middle. “…that one.” His voice is considerably softer than it was moments ago, and his touch manages to be even lighter. It was almost as though he was afraid being too loud or too rough would break the very world around them.
____’s whole body feels like it’s on fire. Controlling their voice as much as possible (even though it still comes out weak and almost shaky), they ask, “How did you even see those?”
Sunghoon’s touch finally falls from their skin, and they miss it immediately. He turns his attention to a very interesting patch of grass between his feet. ____ notices the tinge of red on the tips of his ears again. “I… sometimes I space out. In the class we share together, you sit on the other side of the class, facing me but a couple rows back.” ____’s mind fries at the fact that he pays any attention to them at all besides when he spaces out. “One time, you’d switched seats with the person that does sit right in front of me. You were close enough now that I could see that one,” he points to his own lips this time, still not looking in their direction, “and now I can’t help but notice it every time I see you. Then earlier, in the library, I saw this one,” he points at his jaw where the mole would be on him.
Silence settles over them, a certain tension filling the air. ____ lets it linger before speaking up. “Do you believe it?”
That confused look raises to Sunghoon’s expression again, and he finally turns to them again. “What?”
“The mole theory. You said you liked it, and you thought it was romantic. But do you believe it?”
Sunghoon considers their words for a moment. “I guess so. Why?”
“Well… I’ve decided I believe in another theory. My theory is that whoever left the love marks on you from a past life is the same person you’re meant to be with in every life. I also believe that the kiss from your past — and destined — lover feels different in those places than if someone else kissed them.” It’s ____’s turn to be intrigued by a grass patch. The suggestion makes the air feel even heavier than before.
____ is considering imploding right then and there until they hear Sunghoon speak up. “Test it.”
They turn their gaze to him to see his usual calm expression returned to his face. “What?”
“Test it. Test your theory.” He leans a little bit closer, as if inviting the test. A small smirk grows on his face the more ____ stares at him in shock mixing with a feeling of being flustered. “Or should I test it for you?”
He lets ____ process his words for as long as they need, each other’s eyes glancing towards the other’s lips. ____ only gives a small nod and leans into Sunghoon’s kiss.
They think their mind must surely be playing tricks on them when they swear they can feel moles they hadn’t noticed before grow warm under his lips being on theirs and his hand gently grazing their jaw.
