5 times L tried to win Sungjong's heart, and 1 time he actually succeeded~
mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-fareast-language:EN-PH">L arrived back home to their apartment on the sixth day pretty late. Sungjong seems to have been sleeping tight for a while then. The next morning, the maknae was nowhere to be found. Apparently, he has schedules for the whole day. L just lied on Sungjong's bed while hugging the infamous white bear for almost the whole day. He just stayed there until their manager came and told them to return to their original rooms.

Being typical and stereotyped isn’t really L’s style. But with all his other four attempts being complete failures; it leaves him pretty much no other choice. Besides, it’s not like his past four ideas were totally unique and original. So going back to basics he shall-flowers, chocolates, clothes and whatever material stuff he finds suitable for Sungjong shall be showered upon the beautiful boy. This one shall totally be foolproof. Sungjong would definitely fall for him after he drowns in all the presents.
And so, L spent one whole day of a rare and precious day-off to go all over Seoul and buy the cutest and not-so prickly cactus plant [since Sungjong might not react that good if he gives him a bouquet of flowers out of the blue], the most stylish clothes and the best-tasting chocolates and pastries he can find for the object of his affections.
L is all happy and giddy as he made his way home, thinking it was very silly of him to not have tried this idea first. But then, as he arrived in their apartment, realization of why this-like any other of his ideas-is a fail dawned on him. In a form of a huge white box. There in their living room, spiting him while being fussed over by the other members and Sungjong himself. From a foreign affiliate of their official fan club, Inspirits, to Sungjong. Well, there’s also some stuff for everybody, but basically, three-fourths of the content belong to Sungjong-he is obviously the senders’ bias.
L loves their fans, in all honesty. After all, it’s because of them that Infinite gets to enjoy this flourishing career. But did they have to be this rich? This extravagant? Because how, pray tell, can he top all those designer clothes and bags and shoes and pastries from freakin’ Paris, France from fan girls to Sungjong?
L has never felt poorer in his entire life.

Lee Sungjong may not be the smartest in the group seeing as he is the youngest, but it doesn't really need smarts to realize that there is something totally off with one Kim Myungsoo. For months his L-hyung has been acting quite strange and now, the poor guy is obviously feeling down the dumps. Nobody knows just why though. L just either gives this empty and far-away stare or sighs deeply whenever asked. But that won't stop Sungjong from prying it out of L or well, trying to cheer him up. After all, one thing Sungjong is known for is his stubbornness.
"Times New Roman";mso-fareast-language:EN-PH">And so, the maknae bought some movies and lots of yummy snacks to lift his hyung's spirits. Incidentally, everyone else either has a schedule--or in Sunggyu and Woohyun's case, a date--when Sungjong arrived from his shopping. But no matter, he's thought of all this to cheer his L-hyung up so as long as he's home, it's all good.
mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-fareast-language:EN-PH">Unfortunately for L though, all movies brought by Sungjong are horror in genre. 'Cause really, what better way to cheer someone up than to have them hold tight to the couch that the leather will almost be torn off and scream an octave or two higher than their normal voice, right If there’s any bright side to this, it’d be that L has an excuse to snuggle up to Sungjong for all four movies they watched.
When all was done and over it, Sungjong asked with his bright and hopeful face if L is now feeling better and cheered up; and even if L felt like it would take about an hour to normalize his body’s blood flow and that he really won’t be getting much sleep tonight with all the horror he has witnessed, how can he say no to that stunning face radiating such innocence? And when Sungjong smiled so beautiful and bright that it’s blinding, L figured he’s willing to have another horror marathon if it’d make the younger boy happy-even if that means he’ll probably be quite paranoid and sleepless for a week.
As every other member arrived home and they ate dinner altogether, Sungjong proudly announced that he was the one to finally lift L’s spirits up. Though it’s not like the others aren’t aware that if anybody can do it, it’s really Sungjong. They’re not as oblivious as L thinks they are, especially now that L is tenderly patting Sungjong’s head right in front of them. And truth be told, they are getting tired of the cool boy remaining quiet about it.
So when Dongwoo blurted out, “Oh for the love of... just be a couple already!” Everyone can’t help but nod, then got up to give the two time and privacy to talk things out.
Sungjong is now the definition of confused while L is being a synonym for tomato red.
At this point, L had no other choice but to just come out with Sungjong and even vent out his frustrations with all his failed attempts to win Sungjong’s affections. To which Sungjong replied,
“While all the efforts and gifts can be flattering, I’d love it more if you just went up to me straight and said that you like me.”
“But I want it to be special (and I don’t just like you, I’m in love with you).”
“Silly hyung, it’s not like you’re failing to make me feel special every day. I mean, just with you helping me with washing the dishes and playing games with me and being willing to watch horror films with me even though you look like you’re about to pass out and... seriously hyung, you’re great!”
As enthusiastic as Sungjong may be, L isn’t convinced. In fact, he thinks he’s entering panic mode. He is no expert in love but he knows that when someone says “you’re great” something along the lines of “let’s just be friends” or something follows. So before Sungjong can shatter his heart into pieces, he decided to do it himself, “But great isn’t really good enough to win your heart, huh? I get it.”
“Myungsoo-yah, how, in the first place, can you win something that’s already yours?”
And finally, L succeeded.
