library

@✧ Chan "I wish I was no good student," Hyunjin whined but he knew he needed to. Simply to proof himself that he was capable of being more than just the abandoned child of Tinkerbell. "I guess I deserve being locked in here and suffering then," he huffed and leaned onto Chan. "We should do something fun after this, you in?" he asked and tilted his head a bit.

@✧ Hyunjin Chan hummed softly, shrugging. "I have no idea." He answered. He found studying to be boring. Not that he truly needed to study. He usually just guessed and managed to get correct answers. He laughed at Hyunjin's whiny nature and smiled. "Because you're a good student." Though he did admire Hyunjin's studious habits. They weren't this thing. He preferred to be having fun or practicing his skills.

@✧ Chan A soft sigh left Hyunjin's lips as he leaned against his friend. "Why did I decide to study again?" he asked, a soft whine leaving his lips. He was busy with remembering all the information the professor had given them over the last few weeks and he felt like his brain was about to explode. But he needed to study after all and at least he was not alone. "Channie, why did I decide to study?" The answer was easy: because he liked it. He liked knowledge and he liked working even though he did not have to here in Euphoria. But it kept him entertained after all. Also it made him able to see his friends regularly.

@✧ Seungmin "Ew, paper cuts ARE the worst," Hyunjin whined and nodded. He hated that so much. He had had a few paper cuts before and he had suffered from those so much more than from anything else. Books could bury him and he wouldn't mind it but but paper cuts were his personal final boss. "So yes, you are right." He huffed slightly and looked at Seungmin. Damn it was so hard to not blush. His body was feeling all giddy and excited and he wanted to pull Seungmin close and just hug him - but of course he did not.

"Nooo, it's embarrassing," Hyunjin said, only losing more fairy dust again. He whined and tried to collect it again but he was having a hard time so he huffed. How ing embarrassing, damn. "I am so sorry," he said and looked at Seungmin, rubbing his neck. "I can clean it again..." He closed his eyes and huffed. Gosh, why could he not just be normal? But instead he was throwing stuff to the ground and losing fairy dust. Oh great. But Seungmin was so very sweet and it made his heart all warm.

Hyunjin blushed some more and looked at the other. "Really? You don't mind?" Well, that really was a surprise but he appreciated it so much. "It's just... I can't control it and people think I'm making it extra hard on cleaning them but it just... Happens." He huffed slightly and nodded then, smiling at Seungmin. How was he so adorable? His heart kept jumping in his chest. Immediately Hyunjin nodded when he heard Seungmin questioning about fairy dust. "It's just... I don't need it. And yes, you can just... A tiny amount you can fly with but with bigger amounts you can sometimes even wish for stuff to come true." He smiled warmly and his heart jumped again on his chest when Seungmin's fingers touched his and he immediately nodded. "Yes. Oh I would like to show you!" Because he just really wanted to see Seungmin again.

@✧ Hyunjin Seungmin tried his best to not stare at his crush with a gaping mouth because Hyunjin was really out here looking flawless. He smiled and mentally let out a sigh of relief, couldn’t help the slight rush of fear when he heard the books fall and knew immediately that it could have affected Hyunjin since it came from his direction. Of course, he would never want even an ounce of pain inflicted on the other boy. “Don’t underestimate books,” Seungmin flashed a teasing smile before continuing. “Their hard covers can really hurt if you get smacked with one and paper cuts are the worst things in the world.”

Seungmin made sure that the spines of the books lined up perfectly one on top of another, creating a perfectly straight pile. His slight perfectionist of a personality always kicked in whenever he needed to organize or clean up the library and even as minimal as a stack of books had to be impeccable to satisfy himself. “It’s no problem, really. It’s something I’m used to doing.” Seungmin kindly responded as he quickly glanced at the tiny bits of fairy dust getting on the floor before shooting the other a smile. He knew that Hyunjin was embarrassed about his particular habit, but he would never make fun of the other for it. To Seungmin, it was actually endearing, and it helped him to read Hyunjin’s emotions a lot easier.

“Hey, don’t worry about the fairy dust.” Seungmin almost panicking because he definitely did not want Hyunjin to misunderstand and freak out. “Trust me, I don’t mind it and it’s fun collecting them for you.” If Seungmin wasn’t blushing, then he knew that he would be now. He didn’t know what prompted him to say that, but it was the truth and he guessed that being with Hyunjin just brought it out of him. Seungmin’s eyes widened slightly at Hyunjin’s offer, not expecting that the other would allow him to just take something that was essentially a part of the other’s being. “Are you sure—I don’t really know what to do with magic.” Seungmin gave him a sheepish smile and placed the vial in Hyunjin’s hands, feeling the warmth and tingly sensation when his fingers brushed Hyunjin’s. “Maybe you can show me next time?” It wasn’t a rejection, but an invitation for, hopefully, a next time.

@✧ Seungmin How could one be so damn nice? Hearing Seungmin's voice immediately made him feel so much better. He was speaking so gently and he seemed like he was genuinely caring. Of course he was, though. Why would he not? Seungmin was the most gentle and nicest person Hyunjin had ever met. Whenever he saw him, he was nice and smiling. Whenever Hyunjin had a bad day and Seungmin simply smiled at him, it saved his day. And it saved him a little bit at a time. "Don't worry, it's just books after all." He rubbed his neck slightly. "They cannot harm me that much." Well, they could, but the amount of books were not too many so there is that.

"I am glad," Hyunjin said and relaxed a tiny bit, some of the fairy dust falling from his body. That sometimes happens when he was relieved or nervous or anxious or way too happy and if Hyunjin was honest, he was all of it right now. He helped Seungmin pick the books up and put them away with him, relaxing a bit when he noticed that no books were really damaged. He would have felt bad otherwise. "Thank you for helping me." No matter if it was his job or not, Seungmin was so nice.

Just standing in front of Seungmin though made his heart start beating faster again. All he wanted was to reach out to him and hold his hand and talk to the other. Just spending time with him. And if Seungmin preferred they could just sit next to each other and just be quiet. Whatever made the other happy. But who was he to push himself onto Seungmin, right? He knew the other was busy, no wonder with such important parents. When it came to parents they were complete opposites. Seungmin's parents were important and loving and while Hyunjin knew that his mother loved him, he had started to live on his own in his teenage years and had often been alone. Aside from that, Tinkerbell was clearly not as important as any other king or queen. And then Seungmin got his attention back - just like his red cheeks returned. The other was holding a small vial between his fingers and Hyunjin blushed. "Oh my god, I am so sorry. I often just... lose it." He whined slightly and blushed even more, red cheeks and red ears now. "I mean... you can use it too, if you want to. It can make wishes come true and... such things. Just dont do too much, my magic isn't really big." He rubbed his neck almost shyly, not too sure if he should take the bottle.

@✧ Hyunjin Seungmin caught Hyunjin’s gaze when the other boy looked up from the ground, the corners of his lips curving to a friendly, reassuring smile that everything was fine. “I’m glad you’re fine.” Despite trying to be the one to not panic about finally being so close to his crush, which Seungmin totally was on the inside but he did a much better job playing it cool compared to Hyunjin and his red ears, Seungmin was this close to freezing in his actions because Hyunjin was just /that/ breathtaking.

“No, no, don’t worry about it.” Seungmin quickly reassured Hyunjin with a quick shake of his head, looking up to stare at the other in between picking up the fallen books on the floor. “It looks like none of them got damaged in any way, so you really don’t have to worry.” After the floor had been free of books, Seungmin stood up and began to stack the books on the nearby table instead. They would be a lot safer there than on the floor. “There—” Seungmin turned around to smile at the other.

Now that they were just standing in front of each other without anything to drive their attention away, Seungmin could feel the heat spread through his cheeks. Without books, Seungmin was clearly not as confident as he was just moments ago, feeling his nerves start to awaken at finally being face-to-face with the boy he was terribly head-over-heels for. “I—uh—” Seungmin remembered something, shoving his hand quickly into the pocket of his cardigan and taking out a small vial between his fingers. “—gathered them and thought that I should return them to you.” Seungmin could feel the heat spread even more, shyly holding out the bottle of fairy dust towards its owner.

@✧ Seungmin Watching the prince from afar was always what made Hyunjin's day worth every trouble he had to go through. He liked just watching Seungmin from afar, but not too often as that might be considered stalker behaviour and Hyunjin really did not want to be one of those. He just liked seeing the prince - not making him uncomfortable after all. He was none of those crazy people, he only wished good to the person he had been having a crush on for quite a while now even though he never really spoke up.

Curiously he watched the younger smile when he read the note and Hyunjin grinned brightly - just to flinch badly when someone did so much a simply cough. Sometimes he was way too easily scared, especially when he was worried that the young man of his dreams would notice him. Flinching sadly caused the tower of books to be knocked down and half of them ended up on Hyunjin, the other half on the ground. "Damnit," he cursed and immediately knelt down, reaching for the books without even noticing that the person of interest had noticed too and approached.

For a moment he froze when he heard the beautiful and gentle voice he'd probably recognise everywhere and Hyunjin looked up, eyes wide. "O-oh. Yes, Me good. I mean... I am fine!" Oh god, way to go and embarrass himself. He could feel his ears turn red and he rubbed his neck almost shyly as he looked at Seungmin. "I uh... sorry, I hope I did not damage any books." What a way to get the attention of his crush and how damn embarrassing.

@✧ Hyunjin Seungmin loved his life. He truly did. But being the son of Belle and Adam and for being exactly who he was had its slight inconveniences. And one that Seungmin had to face pretty much every single day of his life, although he never did once complain and actually enjoyed it, would be that people on the streets would like to have a conversation with him in a friendly manner. It’s usually the regulars that Seungmin would see in the paths he frequented so he is well-acquainted with them. But sometimes, they liked to indulge in Seungmin about their life stories, the latest gossip, or just a casual chat that took up more time than the boy wanted it to.

Seungmin had just said his goodbyes to the friendly elderly gentleman and resumed on the path toward his favorite, if not one of his favorites, spots in the entire city—the library. He was a little late than usual, but it wasn’t like anyone was waiting on him. He volunteered on his own accord, after all, and visited the library whenever time allowed him to.

The library was a constant in his life much like how the drink bottle with a sticky note attached to it placed on top of the spot that he always sat in started to become a constant as well. The corners of Seungmin’s lips curved to a smile as he read the adorable note. He had a feeling of who had been placing the drinks on his table for a while now and his guess was always confirmed whenever Seungmin was able to secretly spot the other boy in the library. However, Seungmin didn’t want to embarrass him and so he always pretended to never notice. But today was a special day and Seungmin would have to be forced to stop pretending when the sound of books toppling over reached his ears and he was up on his feet in an instant, heading straight for the other boy and the numerous books on the floor.

“Are you okay?”

@✧ Seungmin Sneaking into the library earlier than Seungmin, son of Belle and Adam, was not always the easiest for Hyunjin, as the other had a rather inconsistent schedule when it came to books and reading. Of course duties had to be fulfilled first and he knew that, he usually did it the same way, but that meant that he had to be extra sneaky and make it in just shortly before Seungmin went to his usual spot in the library. Because Hyunjin could not risk anyone else to grab the small bottle of a nice, magic drink and the cute note he usually left at Seungmin’s spot after all.

So now Hyunjin was awaiting Seungmin’s arrival while he was almost nervously looking through one of the books he had picked earlier. Just something to help him with his studies as his magic dust only helped him so much and he was still going to the university to grab some more brain cells and not to just chill and do nothing. He knew his mother would be rather disappointed if his grades were anything but As and he could not risk that.

Chewing on his lip he noticed the person of interest entering and Hyunjin buried his face deeper in the book, his body losing some fairy dust just as he always did whenever he was a little too nervous and excited. He had been crushing on Seungmin for quite a while already and even though he had tried to talk to him properly from time to time, he had failed miserably and had just started to leave bottles of nice drinks and some cute notes for the man his heart belonged to.
