***
He rang your door bell at exactly 10PM, unexpectedly. You knew he had a long day and he told you beforehand that he couldn’t meet you because of his schedule. You had understood and dismissed it even though you were disappointed - after all it was supposed to be your first Valentine’s with him as a couple but oh well, what could be done, right?
Still you were frozen as he beamed at you, handing you a big teddy bear as he said, “Happy Valentine’s!” to you and hugged you tight.
Few moments passed and now you were both inside your house. Your parents were asleep and you were trying to keep the noise level minimum.
“Are you sure it’s all right for you to be here?” You asked the question for the nth time. Onew gave me a warm smile before patting your head again.
“I told you it’ll be fine.” He reassured.
“I’m just making sure.” You chuckled. “It feels too unreal.”
“What does?”
“Us.”
He silently shifted himself, closing up the gap between both of you. You were both sitting on the sofa, watching a random DVD you popped in as a cover to your parents. A ‘sleepover movie marathon’ with a ‘friend’, you said.
He calmly took your hand and intertwined your fingers, before flashing the familiar, warm smile.
“Which part of this is not real?” He gently rubbed his thumb onto the back of your hand.
“I don’t-“
“This hand is mine.” Jinki spoke, pecking your fingers one by one, “This face is yours,” he placed your hand on his cheek, “And my heart is yours too.” He placed your other hand on his chest. “Vice versa.”
You almost laughed at how awkward his speech was but you understood it anyway. It was his way of saying I’m all yours and you’re all mine.
“Happy Valentine’s again.” He whispered as he pecked your cheek.
You blushed and smiled, already forgetting about the whole ‘unreal-not-real’ ordeal.
“Happy Valentine’s too. I love you.”
“AHCHOO!”
You couldn’t stop sneezing no matter how hard you tried. Your eyes were getting teary and so were Jonghyun’s.
“I’m sorry, I totally forgot you were allergic to flowers!”
“AHCHOO! It’s okay- AHCHOO! I’m sor - AHCHOO! ry!”
It had been your request to your boyfriend of 2 years, Jonghyun, that you spend the Valentine’s Day at somewhere romantic. You are a sucker for love novels and you always wanted some romance in your life - and of course, only one person could fulfill it.
Jonghyun threw the bouquet of roses towards the corner of the room in panic - thank God you both had agreed that he would fetch you before your candlelight dinner. It wouldn’t be a pleasant sight for you to keep on sneezing at an expensive restaurant.
It was only fifteen minutes later, after you had drank your allergy medicine and rested on your fluffy bed that the sneezing ceased. Jonghyun was still wearing the kicked puppy look on his face as he stroke your hair with affection, sitting on the edge of your bed.
“Are you feeling better? Do you need anything?” You could tell he was really feeling bad for making you go through fifteen minutes of sneezing hell. Although you were feeling better, it was obvious that you both could no longer date out for dinner now.
“I’m sorry.” You apologized as you sniffed, “We can’t go dinner because of me and -“
“No, I’m sorry.” Jonghyun cut you off. “It’s all my fault, how could I ever forget your allergy? You almost die because of me and -“
“Jjong.” You blurted. “Stop blabbering.”
There was a stretch of silence as you both stared at each other. A few minutes passed and out of a sudden, you both burst out laughing. At the fail attempt of being romantic, at both of your reactions’, and at how stupid and silly you both were.
Admist the laughter, he leaned down and kissed you, and then pulled away and laughed again.
That’s right, Valentine’s with him will never be romantic. But you loved it anyway.
You were eyeing the chocolates at the shop’s display. There looked really delicious and cutely decorated, but then before you could even go near, a hand had yanked you away.
“Yah! Let’s go! We’re going to be late for the movie!” Key had grumbled. “And chocolates are bad for your teeth, you will get cavities and pimples too!”
You tried hard not to pout as he dragged you away. You had agreed to him asking you out for Valentine’s Day but you simply couldn’t believe that he would NAG at you today of all days! (Not that he doesn’t nag at you daily, but still…)
“Yah! The queue line is so long… Aish, what movie do you want to watch?”
“Um…”
“This movie is not good at all! The storyline is too shallow, the actors can’t act well and blablablabla” You learned how to tune out his ramblings already - it’s a skill you have acquired the moment you have a certain diva as your lover. Secretly you felt a bit sad that he was making today bad for you but a part of you reminded you that you love this part of him nonetheless.
You stayed silent and let him lead this date because he just kept nagging at you the moment you decided on something. He chose what movie to watch, what snacks to buy (“No, no popcorns! Too oily!”) and which seats to sit on. You couldn’t even pay attention to the movie because Key was still at it and kept on talking. It was getting on your nerves but you tried really really hard to keep your cool.
And to think that he didn’t even give you presents.
Once the movie ended, he quickly grabbed your hand and pulled you out of the cinema towards a park. You initially wanted to question about what was his plan but swallowed the words back - you were tired of getting nagged.
“Yah! Why are you so quiet?” He snapped, and you blinked before opening your mouth to talk.
“Never mind, come here!” Key walked ahead again, yanking your hand to follow him.
You were always known to be sensitive and overly emotional - it was something you hated about yourself, and as you helplessly let Key pulled you to wherever he was heading, you couldn’t help but to hate yourself even more because you felt tears building.
He suddenly stopped and you were not prepared for it, so you bumped into him. You were about to apologize and pull away when he sneaked both his arms around you and hugged you tightly.
“Yah! Why are you crying? I’m sorry… Don’t cry!”
You blinked your tears and he pulled away slightly only to wipe your tears.
“Yah! I love you! Don’t cry.”
It was such a Key way to console a crying girl and you couldn’t help but smile.
“Happy Valentine’s.” Key placed something around your neck - a necklace, with a locket as its pendant. “I was so nervous the whole day and I’m sorry for being such a brat, making you feel uncomfortable and all…”
You touched the pendant and felt a gush of love towards this man in front of you. Even though he’s always the diva, he’s still a really sweet and caring boyfriend. You love him so much.
“Yah! Stop crying! Say something!”
Okay, may be he can still be an ass sometimes. But you love him anyway.
“I really like you! Will you be my Valentine’s?”
You were shivering from head to toe as you confronted your 6 months crush, Choi Minho. His large pair of eyes were watching you with interest as his tall frame leaned onto the wall of the school building. You were both at the backyard of the campus, he had agreed to meet you to talk here.
“You wanted to date me?” He clarified.
“Yes.” You replied, embarrassed but determined.
“Only on Valentine’s?”
“No… I mean.” You cleared your throat. “I’d really be happy if you’d agree on being my boyfriend, but because you don’t know me well, I’d like to date you for Valentine’s first so you can get to know me. After that it’s up to you whether to reject me… or not.”
You shut your eyes, afraid of what he’d say. You had stayed up the whole night before to convince yourself that you shouldn’t even hope for anything - because Choi Minho is the hottest man in school and you totally are a dreamer for hoping that he’d spare you even a glance. You would bet your whole possession that there were at least 20 girls lining up to go out with him for Valentine’s, but you decided to give it a try anyway.
You were prepared for the worst = spending the Valentine’s Day tomorrow moping at home, watching sad love movies and bawling your eyes out munching a tub of ice cream. Definitely not a Valentine’s Day you’re excited for.
A few moments passed and the silence was killing you. That was until the air shifted and you flinched - you felt a hand caressing your cheek and your eyes fluttered open. Minho - that Choi Minho - was smiling at you lovingly.
“I’d love to date you and be your Valentine’s.” He answered straightforwardly, catching you off-guard.
“What?”
“Well, I’ve been interested in you since the beginning of the year.” He confessed, scratching the back of his head nervously. “The one girl who’s always watching all my soccer matches, sitting at the fifth row from the front behind the opponent’s goal post. I don’t know why but my eyes seem to always find you amidst the crowd.”
You couldn’t believe your ears, but as Minho stepped forward and planted a chaste kiss on your lips, you realized that this was real.
As you gazed into the pair of orbs you were always so drawn into, you realized that you definitely look forward to your Valentine’s date tomorrow.
“Noona~”
“Taeminnie~”
He waved at you enthusiastically from the park bench he was sitting on. He was wearing a normal t-shirt and a pair of jeans, but for some reason he looked dashing and you couldn’t help checking him out.
“You look good today, Noona!” Taemin complimented you as he stood up and met you halfway. “The dress looks good on you~”
“Aigoo, thank you Taeminnie.” You beamed at him. “Where are we going?”
“We’re going to the Zoo!” Taemin announced as he showed you a pair of tickets. “I shall be your tour guide for today!”
You chortled at his adorableness. That was such a cute way of saying I’ll lead in today’s date. You nodded and he linked your arm to his happily before you both headed to the zoo.
The date was really fun and Taemin’s bubbly smile was keeping you in your best mood for almost the whole day. Without you both noticing, the sun was already setting and the zoo was almost close for the day.
“Okay noona you need to get onto that ferris wheel right now!” Taemin suddenly ordered you and pushed you gently towards the ferris wheel.
“What? But Taeminnie, they are closing!” You were confused - what on earth was he up to?
“Just trust me, get on!” Taemin grinned at you and you had no choice but to comply. He winked at the ahjusshi who was controlling the ride and waved at you as the ferris wheel moved.
It took around five minutes before you were at the peak of the ride. You looked down and was surprised to see Taemin holding a large piece of paper. He smiled his million-watts smile before raising his hands to let you have a clearer view.
Noona!
Flips.
I love you very much!
Flips.
I hope you will always be with me
Flips.
to celebrate Valentine’s Day even until
Flips.
the day we grow old together!
Flips.
You are the best thing that ever happened in my life!!!!!!
You couldn’t help the tears of happiness that was flowing down your cheeks. In no time at all, you descended and once the ahjusshi helped you to get off the ferris wheel, you ran into Taemin’s arms.
He sneaked a ring into your finger and laughed beside your ears, ruffling your hair.
“I love you soooooo much, Noona!” He childishly confessed as he nuzzled his nose onto yours.
“I love you too, my Taeminnie bear!” You chortled before kissing him on the lips.
Whoever said younger boyfriend was bad can go bang a wall right now.
