Chapter Text
“Okay, but, like, for real, what do you like the most in me?” you asked for the thousandth time but Sungjin kept ignoring the question and drinking his iced coffee. “Oh, come on!” you said a little bit louder than before, seeing no proper reaction to your words. Sungjin looked you in the eye, clearly amused.
You both were sitting in a small, cozy café while the pouring rain outside was washing the world away. You didn’t mind as long as you and Sungjin were together.
He took off his beanie, showing you and every other person in the café his buzz cut. You really liked this new haircut of his, you thought he looked more manly than ever before and it really suited him. Even though he looked kinda tough, you knew that deep inside he was such a softie.
“Alright, listen to me, please,” he said while crumpling his beanie in his hands. “You know that I really, really, really love you. So, uhm, okay, I’ll tell you what you want to know.”
You noticed that he became a little nervous so you wanted to tell him that it’s totally fine if he don’t do this but as soon as you opened your mouth, Sungjin started his monologue.
“It might be a little surprising to you but, in fact, I often think about some of those little things that I like about you. For example, I love seeing you in the morning when your eyes are still so sleepy and your hair is a terrible mess but yes, I can’t help it, I really adore this view. You look pretty hilarious and it’s so weird to me because at the same time I think you look so, so, so beautiful.”
“Next, I love your laughter, you know, the giggles, the chuckles, that genuine, deep one too, all of them are like music to my ears and I would listen to them for the rest of my life. I always feel the happiest whenever I make you laugh,” Sungjin gushed. “And, dear God, I’ve almost forgotten about my personal favorite which may leave you speechless and that would be totally understandable,” he exclaimed which made other people in the café stop minding their own business and look at him.
“I love it when you hug me or hold my hand or kiss my almost-bald head or just sit so close to me that our arms touch. Like, uhm, every single person on this damn planet knows that I’m not the type to like things like those but whenever you are the one who initiates them they become the most pleasant things that can ever happen to me and I’m completely serious right now.” Sungjin looked at you, clearly excited by his own words. “To be honest, I didn’t really like it at first. But, you know, when you really love someone at some point you get used to their habits and behaviors and as time passes you even consider them charming.”
Sungjin stopped for a moment to sip on his coffee. “Should I continue? Or is it enough?” he asked, gently grabbing your hand under the table.
“That’s absolutely enough,” you whispered, smiling lightly. “Thank you, Sungjin. I love you, too.”
