"Karaoke?", you asked, probably with wide eyes. When Jisung saw your glance at him, he couldn't hold back a shackle.
"Ome on this will be fun!", he said with stars in his eyes but also smirking.
"Yeah for you but not for me. I can't sing." He began to pout. Clearly he thought it would be easier to convince you to do Karaoke with him.
"That's probably not even true", he tried again.
"Well you never heard singing, right? So you can't say I can sing."
"It also means that you could sing but I just never heard it yet!"
You let out a big sigh and rolled your eyes. Sometimes your boyfriend was just annoying. At least it was the cute kind of annoying.
"You know what you are super annoying right?", you asked while rolling your eyes.
"But you like it", he whispered, playing with his eyebrows. Now you started to giggle and shaped his upper arm lightly.
"Yah! That was hurtful", Jisung shouted, holding his arm.
"That was not even strong", you replied, showing him your tongue.
Now he started to laugh. He leant towards you and hugged you closely. It was one of his habits that you absolutely adored.
"Please come with me. You don't even have to sing. Just be there with me. It would mean a lot to me." You let out a little sigh and closed your eyes. How could you say no to him, when he looked at you so sweetly?
"Alright let's go BUT you have to treat me to dinner for it", you muttered which made Jusung jump up and down in little. You couldn't hold back and started to laugh.
"Alright let's go!", he said enthusiastically, already standing up. You nearly said something but you hold back. You were just happy that he wanted to go outside on his own. Slowly you stood up, getting ready too and then waiting for him at the front door of their dorm.
"Where are you heading?", you heard Hyunjins voice. He looked like he was still half asleep.
"Sungie wanted to go to a karaoke bar", you explained. Confused, Hyunjin checked the time and then looked back at you.
"At this time?"
"Why not?", you hear Jisung behind you.
"With a bit of luck there are not too many people out there at this hour."
"Probably"
"Why are you even up at this time?"
"I could ask you both the same", Hyunjin replied.
"Touché." You started to laugh, grabbed Jisungs hands and pulled him towards the door.
"We are off. Go to sleep again, Hyun."
"Bye, Hyung."
"Have fun you two", Hyunjin shouts as the two of you walk outside.
You called an uber that took you to Jisungs favourite karaoke bar. In the beginning of Stray Kids he and the other members went there quite often. But they didn't have much time to do that anymore.
Jisung still held your hand and you were quite happy about it. You two went through a rough time in your relationship and to be honest more than one time you thought you two would break up but because you two love eachother so much you decided to go to a therapy together. And it worked. You two understood each other better now and talked to each other every time something was wrong.
"We are here. Come, let's go", Jisung said and gave you a little kiss. You nodded and got off the uber after him.
"Anyways what food will you buy us later?", you asked, giving him a little smirk. He rolled his eyes but started to smile.
“You already think about that? We haven't eaten breakfast yet but you think about dinner.” He started giggling.
“Well whose fault is that?”, you asked, raising one eyebrow. He was avoiding meeting your eyes. Instead he was looking at the person standing behind the counter, waiting for customers.
“Hello, we would like to have a karaoke room”, you said, after you noticed that Jisung went quiet.
“Of course. You will pay when you leave. Do you need further instructions or are you familiar with our karaoke bar?”
“It's not my first time here”, Jisung said.
“Amazing! Let's see… Room 7 is all yours.” Both of you thanked them and Jisung led you to room 7.
“What do you want to drink?”, you asked after sitting down. Jisung was too focused on checking the mic that he didn't hear you. “Can't do multitasking, huh?” As he heard this, he turned around pouting and made you giggle.
“Normally that's my phrase.” Slowly you nodded, remembering one of the last videos the boys had filmed.
“I know.” Jisung let out a little sigh. He walked up to you and sat down, hugging you. “I love you too”, you responded to his unsaid confession.
“Can you order a taro milk tea for me, please?”, he whispered, looking at the display that was set on the table. Lightly you nodded and ordered some tea for you too.
“Don't you want to sing?”, you asked, laughing lightly. “Or are you getting all shy suddenly?”
“Yah! As if”, he nearly shouted. He stood up and started to look at the songs. Soon “Gone Away” started to play which made you shuckle.
“You are playing save, huh?”, you teased as he started to sing, but then went quiet to listen to his voice.
There was no doubt, you fell in love with his voice first and then with the rest of this amazing young man. For a moment you closed your eyes and just listened to him hitting these high notes. When he finished he looked at you smiling while you started to clap and smile too.
“You did an amazing job”, you whispered. “Oh by the way your bubble tea arrived.” Immediately he rushed towards you and took a big sip out of his tea, which made you laugh.
“It tastes really good”, he said, smiling widely and doing a little dance in front of you.
“I'm happy you like it.” He gave you his best smile and then turned around again.
“What do you want me to sing?”
“What?”, you asked, a little dumbfounded.
“You can choose a song you want to hear me singing.” For a moment you thought about it.
“Sweet Nights by V.” Out of the blue Jisung looked a bit unsure.
“But this song is so good I can't compete. V is such a good singer.”
“And you are not a good singer? Yes V is an amazing singer. Still this doesn't mean that you are not. It will sound different but I'm sure your version will sound amazing in your kind of way.” His glance softened.
“Alright but you have to sing the next song with me.” To be honest you just waited for this moment.
“You know, sometimes I really hate you”, you replied, rolling your eyes.
“That's a lie. I know that you love me.” He closed the distance between you and gave you a small kiss on the forehead, which made you all soft again.
“Alright, I will sing with you, Sungie.” Happy with the answer, he turned around and started singing.
You stood up and started hugging him from behind. You loved those kinds of moments between the two of you. They were quite rare since Stray Kids had a lot of interviews and performances to do.
“You rocked it”, you whispered, as he sang the last notes. He started to giggle and turned his head towards you
“Thank you.” For a moment you two went quiet. Then a sly smile appears on his lips and you already know what will come.
“Let's sing together.” You rolled your eyes but then nodded.
“Remember when we watched The Greatest Showman?”
“Do you want us to sing Rewrite the Stars?” He just started laughing.
“Yes! I really like that duet. You know me well.”
To be honest you were quite nervous. It was not like you couldn't sing at all. It was just, Jisungs voice was so beautiful and he was so talented that you felt so small everytime when he sang and you wanted to sing with him. It was clearly not his fault but yours.
You accepted the mic he gave you.
“Are you ready?”
“No but let's start”, you said laughing, trying to play it off.
One last time he looked at you and then started the song. He sang the first part and as always he sounded so good. His voice sounded so soft that it nearly melted you. When it was your turn, you took one last breath and began to sing. You really liked the song when you listened to it for the first time. Since then the song was on your playlist.
You could feel his glance on you but you didn't dare to cross it. The more you sang the more confident you got and slowly a smile appeared on your lips. And when Jisung began to sing too you couldn't feel better. Finally you looked Jisung in the eyes. He just smiled at you and took your hand. When the song was over he just stared at you for a moment.
“You have to swear that you will ever say again that you can't sing. You were amazing. Please, why did you never sing in front of me?”, he asked while pouting. You patted his cheek softly.
“Maybe because your voice is so amazing and I thought mine is just ordinary. Thanks for the compliment. It means a lot to me.” Jisung gave you a little kiss on the cheek and hugged you tied.
“Does that mean you will sing another song with me?”
“That depends on which song you have in mind.” He started laughing.
“I will take that as a yes.”
“Do whatever you want but you still have to buy me dinner.” He winked at you.
“Whatever you wish, love.”
