Written for
1sentence.
01 - walking
SungJong first noticed Minji because of how she walked, or more appropriately, how she danced when she walked.
02 - waltz
It was like a waltz, slow and relaxing, the way they took their time; they needed the contrast to the fast-paced, hectic pop lives they both lived.
03 - wishes
SungJong knew his wishes didn't matter much in the case of living arrangements, schedule, and everything else, but he couldn't help having them; they just got more insistent the more time he spent with Minji, but he wouldn't change that situation for anything.
04 - wonder
SungJong wondered for a long time what made Minji say yes when he asked her on their first date, but eventually he quit because it didn't matter; what mattered was that she had said yes.
05 - worry
SungJong thought he didn't have to worry about an interview (or threats) from Minji's older brother since she didn't have one, until he came face to face with five of them: G-Dragon, T.O.P., TaeYang, DaeSung, and SeungRi of Big Bang.
06 - whimsy
Minji occasionally indulged in whimsy, but not often or in front of people; SungJong made it an art form.
07 - waste/wasteland
Their first dance was to the new SS501 song "Wasteland" off the Rebirth album; if he hadn't cared so much for Minji, SungJong might have been jealous that she danced better than he.
08 - whiskey and rum
Possibly for the first time, SungJong was glad he didn't - couldn't legally - drink when he and Minji walked in to find both Infinite and 2NE1 passed out (some in compromising positions, which Minji promptly whipped out her phone and took pictures of, blackmail was always good), bottles of whiskey and rum strewn about the room.
09 - war
The threat - if it could be called that - of impending military service loomed in SungJong's future, but for now, even if they did go to war, he was safe until September; Minji had to keep reminding herself with every move North Korea made.
10 - weddings
Minji had never been one to plan her wedding out, leaving only the groom to get filled in, but since she'd started to date SungJong, she'd started to take notes, especially when she attended other people's ceremonies.
11 - birthday
The real reason for the early birthday celebration (Hoya said they'd done it early so he'd actually be surprised) appeared with Minji, and even then Infinite had one last gift: they vacated the dorm for three hours, leaving the two alone.
12 - blessing
Minji never told SungJong how much of a blessing he was in her life, but he seemed to understand anyway, just the same way she knew how much of a blessing he thought she was, all without words.
13 - bias
CL, Bom, and Dara finally understood Minji's bias when they saw SungJong on the variety show; he was prettier than all of them (except maybe Bom), but he was funny.
14 - burning
The smell of something burning turned out to be SungJong and Minji's lunch; they sat out on the balcony, both dead to the world, when SungKyu opened the door to air out the kitchen.
15 - breathing
It sounded so cheesy so SungJong never told anyone, but the nights Minji fell asleep on the phone with him were the most restful for him; just hearing her breathing made his own sleep so much better.
16 - breaking
Minji knew it had to happen but it didn't stop her heart from breaking when SungJong went into the military; no, he probably wouldn't get hurt or anything, but she didn't know how he'd keep the innocence and carefree attitude so much a part of him.
17 - belief
Minji could take care of herself, and they all knew it; so she didn't really believe how much it comforted her when SungJong stepped in with "Dongwoo-hyung, if you don't leave my girlfriend alone, I'll make your life hell."
18 - balloon
Minji didn't get the single balloon SungJong gave her until she read the note attached; when she popped it, she stared at the beautifully crafted ring (and the note that said "I know you can't wear it all the time, but hopefully you'll want to").
19 - balcony
It didn't matter which dorm they met in - as magnaes for their groups, they were kept close and it frustrated them both - the balcony was their retreat of choice, no matter the weather.
20 - bane
Every time Minji began to see her pop life as the bane of her existence, Bom sat down and talked to her, asking about SungJong (usually a good distraction), while CL and Dara (sometimes it took both of them) tracked down SungJong to ask him to call her.
21 - quiet
Quiet is not how Infinite would usually describe SungJong, or how 2NE1 would describe Minji, and yet when they were together, that's the only word that came to mind.
22 - quirks
SungJong and Minji had their fair share of quirks, true, but because they took their time (had to, really) getting to know each other, they were used to them (although they didn't know all of them, because that would be boring).
23 - question
SungJong hated the "are you dating anyone?" question that occasionally came up because he hated to lie about his relationship with Minji and he wasn't any good at lying; thankfully it happened seldom enough that no one noticed he never answered, and that one of the others distracted the interviewer away from him.
24 - quarrel
With anyone else, SungJong fought long and loud to get his way (or get himself heard - with seven it was sometimes necessary to be loud), but Inifinite could say they never heard him argue with Minji; when asked, the girls of 2NE1 could only agree.
25 - quitting
Naturally it crossed both their minds to quit what they did for a living (although neither was sure what they'd do without an apartment full of hormonal group mates), but the question of quitting the relationship never came up.
26 - jump
The first time Minji snuck up and tickled SungJong he jumped and spun around, eyes wide; the first time he did it to her (and, embarrassingly, every time after), she jumped and shrieked.
27 - jester
Minji knew SungJong could be a jester - in fact, the rest of 2NE1 knew him as that - but she rarely saw that side of him when they were together.
28 - jousting
The only topics they jousted verbally over (and usually over the phone, a bizarre kind of phone tag) where the topics neither SungJong or Minji held close to their hearts because neither of them wanted to hurt the other.
29 - jewel
Minji was an independent girl, no one would dispute that (at least, not to her face), so it constantly amazed the other members of 2NE1 that she didn't complain when SungJong called her a jewel (but never his jewel).
30 - just
SungJong's claims of "it's not fair!" grew more and more seldom, the more time he spent with Minji; he knew what the rest of Infinite did for him, and he paid them back the best way he knew how.
31 - smirk
It never failed: every time Minji had something sneaky planned, she had a smirk she couldn't hide that warned (and prepared) SungJong.
32 - sorrow
SungJong smiled, and the sorrow in Minji's eyes (too long apart, he'd felt it, too) disappeared as if it had never existed.
33 - stupidity
The rest of Infinite liked the relationship SungJong had with Minji; his whining and utter stupidity slowly but surely disappeared the more time he spent with her (which was why SungKyu had allowed it in the first place, or so he claimed - Hoya claimed that their leader couldn't have stopped it, and SungYeol happened to agree with Hoya in this).
34 - serenade
No one expected it (fans or group members) when SungJong got back from his military service and serenaded Minji on a variety show, simultaneously letting everyone know how he felt and asking her to marry him.
35 - sarcasm
Minji had a biting sarcasm - results of hanging around CL too much - but it never surfaced around SungJong and began to disappear from the rest of her life as well.
36 - sordid
There was nothing truly sordid about how SungJong felt about Minji, no matter how SungYeol laughed at his reaction to the "Can't Nobody" mv.
37 - soliloquy
Minji wasn't normally given to soliloquy, so when that happened, Bom, CL, and Dara all tried to find out how soon they could get her to see SungJong (or get him to see her).
38 - sojourn
It didn't matter where SungJong was in the daily sojourn of life (or tour, or variety show, or promotion), he always found time to leave Minji a message; she knew she had it bad when just a quick "Hi, I miss you" could make her sigh just because she heard his voice.
39 - share
It was impossible for infinite and 2NE1 to share dressing rooms for the Dream Concert (and frankly, the only group that didn't was Super Junior because they were so big), but the event still meant SungJong and Minji could hang out together without anyone thinking it odd.
40 - solitary
SungJong didn't do well in 'solitary', but that was preferable to SungJung when he'd been without seeing Minji for too long, and all of Infinite helped to keep that from happening.
41 - nowhere
There were times that SungJong felt like there was nowhere he could go for peace and quiet (even the balcony bothered him), and then Minji would show up and the balcony became their refuge again.
42 - neutral
Neither SungJong nor Minji tended to be neutral on things, but surprisingly, they talked about those in normal tones and without frustration, which surprised everyone who knew them.
43 - nuance
The women of 2NE1 could only watch in amazement as SungJong responded to every nuance of Minji's actions (and more than once, so it wasn't some freak accident); in consulting with the men of Infinite, they discovered that Minji did the same with SungJong.
44 - near
It never ceased to amaze CL when Minji knew that SungJong was near, even when CL was sure Inifite was somewhere all the way across the country (or out of it) - and Minji was always right.
45 - natural
They sat outside on the balcony at the Infinite dorm, wrapped in coats and a blanket; Minji reached up to comb her fingers through SungJong's newly blond hair murmuring "I like it better natural."
46 - horizon
SungKyu was going to kill them both for staying out all night, SungJong thought, out on the balcony of the Infinite dorm, his arms around Minji and a blanket around them both, watching the sun come up over the horizon.
47 - valiant
It was a valiant effort, SungJong even admitted it later, but at the time, when Minji burst into laughter the first time she saw him blond after trying so hard not to, it had hurt (she made it up to him, though).
48 - virtuous
SungJong couldn't sit still the first time (and every time after) he saw 2NE1's "Can't Nobody", and any virtuous thoughts he might have had about Minji vanished completely.
49 - victory
Minji felt that one of the best parts of their relationship was their ability to celebrate a victory by one or the other, even if that meant the other had come in second.
50 - defeat
One way (not the best, but the most often used) to defeat loneliness was for Minji to call or text SungJong; he always returned the message as soon as he could and occasionally they even got to talk for more than a minute at a time.
