(( xiao wakes up in a cold sweat in the middle of the night and he just goes *drake and josh voice* ‘sungjae!’ ))

hana smiled as xiao agreed to stay in, nodding at his idea of watching movies and ordering lunch. “we could probably order some pizza, if you want.” quite honestly, it had been over a year since she had pizza thanks to some pretty strict diets, especially with the idea her debut was coming quickly before she went on the show, so just the mere idea of eating pizza made her stomach growl. but she wouldn’t complain if xiao wanted to eat something different, not everyone loved pizza, and he probably was under a strict diet back in seoul too, so it was only fair that he got to eat what he wanted to eat. they could save pizza for another day if he didn’t want it today, she really didn’t mind. “and i know some really good movies too, i used to watch so many movies every day before i moved to seoul. or maybe we’ll find one that neither of us has seen before that looks good. i’m really excited, i love watching movies.” watching movies while cuddling with xiao? that sounded like the most perfect day ever to her.

she gently rested her head on his chest when he laid back down, letting out a content sigh. truly, this was the best way to spend their day. she let one of her hands rest against his stomach, carefully taking the fabric of his top in between her fingers and playing with it. it was a habit of hers, she did it a lot when she was bored or thinking; and right now she was thinking. “maybe tomorrow to make up for being so lazy today, we can go to the amusement park tomorrow. that’ll cost us a lot of our energy.” they had both agreed that they wanted to go to the amusement park, so going the next day sounded like fun, and it was probably something they could both quickly agree on without any thought.

she turned her head so she was looking up at him, resting her chin on his chest, being super careful not to accidentally press down too hard and hurt him. “maybe we could do what people in movies always do and kiss at the top of the ferris wheel, since you know, we already kissed so we won’t be as nervous, and you’re already like a perfect boy from a movie.” as she felt herself start to blush, she turned her head again, continuing to play with the fabric of his shirt as she let out a nervous laugh, hoping the suggestion wasn’t weird or dumb; she always feared as coming off like that to xiao, even after they already confirmed they liked eachother quite a lot.

(( it shouldn’t be so funny imagining that happening to xiao and jihye but here i am, in tears over it

he just hands it to jihye and she just straight up stares at it for a full minute like ‘what kind of complete dumbass did i fall for’ ))

when minjae surfaced from his room a few moments later, kaito couldn’t help but smile as he greeted him and jihye, turning to her once she started talking. he already knew that her family approved of him, but hearing a reminder of that made him let out a little happy sound, quickly burying his face against jihye’s shoulder in slight embarrassment. truthfully, kaito was more worried about impressing jihye’s siblings and being approved by them rather than her parents. parents were rather easy to please, if their child was happy and safe, then nine times out of ten they always approved of whoever their child brought home. but siblings? they had no real reason to have to like whoever their sibling brought back home. siblings were tough to crack, which wasn’t fun since a lot of the time, you end up spending more time with siblings rather than parents. at least that’s how it always was for his friends’ and their relationships. “well i’m really glad to hear that, honestly.”

hearing that her family would be okay, and actually glad about him taking her own was something that he was glad to hear too. he hated the idea of ripping her away from time she could be spending with them, after all they still had time between practices and after filming to spend together when they got back, but hearing that her family wouldn’t mind if he took her away for a bit was a relief. he really did want to spend as much time with her during these three weeks. even if she just wanted to sit inside all day and not really do anything, he was down to do it as long as she was by his side.

“yeah, a little.” kaito nodded, confirming that he was hungry. “i don’t mind waiting though if you were planning to go out to eat.” while he was hungry and could eat something here, he wouldn’t care about waiting and ordering out if that’s what jihye wanted to do. quite honestly, he was a little whipped for her and would do whatever she wanted to do. “if you wanna eat here though... maybe we could make something together? that’s cute, right?” he let out a breathless laugh, hoping that she would find it cute too. in movies whenever couples cooked together it always turned out cute, but maybe that’s just how it was in movies, still, it wouldn’t hurt to try. and besides, kaito had a feeling that he and jihye could make anything cute.

( i expect nothing less from the nation's idiots tbh )

hearing kaito suggest to make something together for breakfast, jihye nodded. "let's see how this turns out!" she said happily, standing up to pull kaito off the couch. leading him to the kitchen, jihye immediately began searching the cabinets to see what their options were. "what do you want to make?" she asked kaito. gettig an idea from him would be much better than just searching for many ingredients and figuring out from there. on the other side of the kitchen, the twins are making their own bowls of cereal, a classic choice. they were bickering to each other about taking all the milk, even though the carton was completely full. jihye just listened to the two, rolling her eyes playfully. she would be lying if she said she didn't miss it when she was back in seoul.

the boys kept quietly bickering at each other for a while, until jihye walked over to them to check the contents of the fridge. "why are you two arguing? do you have somewhere to be? people to see?" she asked them, poking both of their sides. her saying this shut both of the boys up until they both started stuttering to save themselves. "no, he's just taking his time with the milk. i'd like to eat my breakfast today, if he doesn't mind." minjae said, recieving a laugh from sungjae and jihye. closing the fridge, jihye walked back to the other side of the kitchen to kaito. "there's a lot of ingredients here, so we can try to make anything. well, anything simple enough for us." she said. jihye herself wasn't an amazing cook. it wasn't that she was terrible, she just didn't cook enough to actually reach "good cook" status. but she can make some amazing french toast.

( ah i'm so sorry this post is so bad, i'm currently in a car on my phone and i hate typing on mobile ;-; )

xiao reviewed their plans today in his head. staying in, watching movies, ordering pizza. it sounded good to xiao. smiling, he nodded his head, stopping as some of his hair felling his eyes. then, he quickly started to shake his head to remove the stray strands. "that sounds good to me. let's watch as many movies as we can." he said happily. wait, what kind of movies did hana like? if she watched a lot in the past, she must have a preference. "what kind of movies are your favorite? or are there any you don't like?" they were two very distinct questions, but it'd be good to figure out what movies to look for and which ones to stay away from. xiao himself didn't have any genres he didn't like, except the very gross/disturbing ones. other people may like them, but they didn't rest well with xiao.

hearing hana suggest the amusement park for tomorrow, you could practically see xiao's eyes completely light up. "ooh, that sounds like fun. we'll need to do something extremely fun tomorrow." he said. amusement parks were a lot to endure, but they're extremely fun. the amount of walking and waiting in lines were the worst part of the parks, but the amount of fun everyone has definitely makes up for it. although, xiao should definitely make sure they rest enough during the day so their feet or legs don't hurt at all the following day.

after hana mentioned her ferris wheel idea, xiao smiled as he looked at the ceiling. he'd never admit it, but xiao immediately had that idea in his mind after hana mentioned going to an amusement park. even if xiao initially planned their first kiss as something completely sweet and romantic in a garden somewhere, he'd always wanted to bring someone special to a ferris wheel and have that kind of moment with them. again, it was just another idea given to him by a romantic telvision show. wrapping an arm around hana and keeping her close, xiao hummed quietly. "ah, you're so cute." he said, resting his head gently on hers. (xiao calling hana "cute" counter: 28472857374)

(( it’s fine!! i understand the pain of mobile typing, i’m always on mobile for this site

also sorry this reply wasn’t the longest or the best, i’m sick but i felt bad since i didn’t reply yesterday so i wanted to get it out today !! ))

it shouldn’t have gotten her excited, but when xiao asked what kind of movies she liked, hana’s eyes lit up. she really wasn’t lying when she said she used to watch movies every day; she really loved movies, and questions about them always got her excited, just like anyone who was asked about something they loved. “i think horror movies are my favorite, yeah. they’re the best to watch, the scary stuff is either super cheesy and cheap and you can laugh at it, or it really is scary and being scared is fun sometimes.” and as for the kinds of movies she didn’t like? she had to think about that for a minute. “it’s not really that i don’t like it, but movies that have more action scenes than actual plot can get boring. like fighting scenes can be fun to watch sometimes, but i want to know why they’re fighting and who the good guy is, who am i supposed to silently root for if i don’t know who’s good and who’s bad?”

hana was also happy to hear that he was okay with going to the amusement park the next day. she already knew that he wanted to go at some point during their three weeks together, she just didn’t know when he’d want to go, so thankfully she solved that mystery. tomorrow, they’d be going tomorrow. she watched as he smiled, assuming that he already had the idea for the whole ferris wheel kiss; great minds really did think alike. when xiao called her cute, she felt her face burn up again and she let out a soft groan, letting her hands pathetically try and cover every inch of redness on her face. she would never get used to him complimenting her, which was terrible considering that she saw herself being with him for a long time. she’d just be a blushing mess for the rest of her life. “one day i’m going to just stay permanently blushing and then nobody is going to like me. except maybe you, i think you like making me blush. you do it a lot.”

she let her hands fall to her sides and looked up at him again, trying her best not to blush at the sight of his face. how could someone be so good looking? it wasn’t fair. “what’s your favorite kind of movie? i’ve watched so many movies, i could probably think of the most perfect movie for you to watch if you just tell me a few things you like in movies.”

nakajima kaito

kaito was happy when jihye agreed to his idea, allowing her to pull him off the couch and then quickly following her into the kitchen. if anyone were to witness how quickly he was moving, they would think he was starving or something. and while he was hungry and eager to finally get something into his stomach, he was way more excited to be cooking something with jihye. even if it was just the two of them pouring their own bowl of cereal or actually making some huge breakfast, the idea seemed very cute and enjoyable to him.

when asked what he wanted to make, the best answer he could give was a shrug. he wasn’t hungry for anything in particular, and he was capabale of cooking some pretty basic and common breakfast foods, so he really didn’t know what to choose. if he was really hungry for waffles, then he would say waffles. or if he was only good at making eggs, then he would say eggs. but once again, he wasn’t hungry for anything specific and he was pretty decent at cooking most breakfast foods.

he fell into a state of thought, thinking about what would be easy, quick, and fun for him and jihye to make. and something that there would be ingredients for in the house. before he could think of an answer though, jihye was investigating why the twins were bickering, and when he heard it was over milk, kaito couldn’t help but let out an amused laugh. they were cute. seeing them made him wish he had a brother even more, though he was sure that if he had one, there would be times that he would wish he was an only child. there really wasn’t any perfect scenario, was there? there were pros and cons to having siblings, just as there were pros and cons to being the only child. whichever one you got, you just appreciated and dealt with.

“we’re both capable of making french toast, right?” it was one of the simplest dishes that kaito could think of, and most of the time it didn’t take too long to make a decent amount for two people to eat, so of course that’s what he was going to suggest to make. “and all the ingredients should be here for it, it’s not like it requires weird ingredients or huge amounts of ingredients to make french toast.”

( awh, if you're sick don't worry about replying! make sure to get a lot of rest so you get better as soon as possible! )

as kaito kept thinking, jihye looked at him, quietly admiring how amazing he looked. wow, he sure is a catch. even if he wasn't an idol, any girl would be incredibly lucky to be in jihye's position. he's got the looks, talent, and personality. that's just unfair. nobody can be gifted in all those categories, but kaito seems to have missed the memo. it's a good thing he did, though. otherwise things might not be the way they are now. everything led them to this moment, and that is a blessing on its own.

as soon as he said french toast, jihye smiled. it was like he read her mind, once again. "of course! and we definitely should have everything here, otherwise that'd be awkward." she said, quickly pulling everything that they needed out and into a neat little pile on the counter. it was crazy how alike they were. their own similarities were visible before, and now to find out they both like and can make french toast? it's a small thing, but it is now added onto the big list of things jihye and kaito have in common. "did you like, read my mind or something?" jihye asked kaito before hopping up to grab a small bowl. it wouldn't surprise jihye if they were in some sort of soulmate au where he could actually read her mind. does that mean jihye can read his? no, that'd be invading his privacy, which is mean.

once everything was out and ready to be made, jihye wondered how they were going to split the cooking. someone would over the bread and the other would make sure it doesn't burn? eh, they'll figure it out. jihye made her way over to the sink to wash her hands, making room for kaito to do the same. clean hands make for a clean work environment! now, they were ready to get started. jihye grabbed the vanilla and carton of eggs and offered kaito to measure the milk and sugar. cracking eggs was the fun part of cooking, but they were especially jihye's favorite part. they both continued to add the ingredients to the bowl until everything was ready to be mixed. it's not that she doesn't like mixing, she just doesn't have to power to get everything mixed together quickly. so, jihye sneakily and slowly slided the bowl and a stirring utensil kaito's way. she was dead silent at first, until she started to laugh because it became so quiet. she can't go a hour without laughing with him, can she?

liu yixiao

listening, xiao didn't really expect hana to answer like she did, but it was in a good way. he's never met anyone who doesn't like action movies, but it does make since after hana explained why. tilting his head, xiao nodded as soon as hana finished talking. "you know, you're the first person to tell me they don't like action movies. although i do have to admit, some of them are good, but others just look like something i could do." he laughed. xiao's seen his share of poorly edited or shot movie scenes, and the actions ones seemed to be the ones that stuck out to him the most. another thing xiao liked to do was watch the background and look for little easter eggs, if there were any. it was fun, but it did take away from the main movie.

his smile grew even brighter as soon as she accused him of purposely making her blush. he did enjoy making her feel special, and she just so happened to blush whenever it did happen. so, it was unavoidable to not make her blush. "maybe i do like making you blush. seeing you blush is cute. just like how you're cute. i must just like cute things, then." he said innocently, poking at her lightly just so he could find something to do. laying there is fun, but xiao's gets get antsy if they're not holding something or fiddling with something for a longer period of time. it was just like hana's habit of playing with his shirts. except xiao wouldn't begin playing with any of hana's shirts, though. xiao knows his limitations.

xiao thought hard about hana's question. what kind of movies did he like? there were so many that he's watched, but there wasn't any he could pinpoint as his favorite. "let's see," he sighed, stretching out slightly. "i watch just about everything, just whatever seemed interesting to me. genre really doesn't matter. but i do tend to stay away from the really gory movies that show a lot of blood and things like that. legend says that i really don't handle things like that well." he revealed, whispering towards the end. with a soft laugh, xiao continued. "which is weird because i always watch horror movies and stuff like that, but as soon as it gets gory, i'm out." he seemed like a little kid when he answered, saying that he couldn't handle blood or anything like that. but it's true. on screen or right in front of him, any sight of blood with either make him sick or make him pass out. either way, it isn't good. but it was good they talked about this, otherwise it'd be pretty bad and embarrassing if hana picked a gory horror movie without her knowing. that'd sure be a momentous spot in their relationship. it'd also leave some spots on the nice hotel comforter, if he wasn't quick enough.

(( i should be okay, i still want to give you replies and everything so you’re not waiting forever! it’s just that my replies won’t be super long or anything like that, so please excuse that for a bit !! ))

“exactly! i’m glad you understand.” hana exclaimed, happy to have found someone that thought the same way as her about action movies. she didn’t actually hate them or anything, there were actually a few she loved, but they had to be good or else she couldn’t get into them. of course that was normal though, most people couldn’t sit through a bad movie, but for her it was bad action movies that were the worst.

as xiao went on to call her cute and how seeing her blush was cute, hana had to use every bit of will power she had not to blush, instead just gently poking his shoulder, ready to fire back at him with a compliment. if he thought he had an endless stream of compliments for her, then she would just love to see what he would think of the whole list of compliments she for him she was just waiting to use. “if you like cute things then you must love yourself, since you know, you’re the cutest person ever.”

it was good to hear that xiao didn’t really have a favorite or least favorite genre of movie; that would make the whole process of sharing movies with him easier. hana truly did have a huge list of movies she wanted to show him, and now that she knew he didn’t really prefer one kind over another, that just made her choice selection bigger. most people would think that would make things harder, but not her. “oh, don’t worry, i don’t like really gory movies either. it’s gross.” she scrunched up her nose, shuddering at the idea of watching a gory movie. and if xiao didn’t like them either, watching one together would just end up as a huge, terrible mess.

she stopped for a moment to plan out their day, smiling once she had an idea of what they could do. “okay so i was thinking we could watch some horror movies first, and i know some really good ones without any gory stuff. and then maybe we could watch some romantic movies? i mean we’ll probably already be all cuddled up together thanks to all the scary stuff, so it only makes sense that we move on to some cute stuff. and maybe you could show me some action movies you like? most of the ones i’ve seen aren’t good, but since you said you know some good ones, i want to check them out. and then whenever you’re hungry we can order some lunch. we just have to remember not to stay up too late since we’ll be at the amusement park tomorrow and we’ll need lots of energy.”

nakajima kaito

when jihye asked if he could read her mind, kaito just slowly shook his head with a laugh. “even if i could read your mind, i wouldn’t tell you.” he paused for a minute, looking over at her, then continued. “besides, if i could read your mind the only things i would want to know are how you’re able to be so perfect all the time and how i could make you like me even more.”

he washed his hands after jihye, turning to her once he was finished to see if she had something for him to do. he didn’t want to just jump in and start doing things, what if jihye really liked doing certain steps or had planned for him to do certain things? he didn’t want to mess up any of that for her. so he was happy when she handed some things to him to be measured; whatever steps she gave him to do, he would happily do them.

after they measured and added everything to the bowl, he noticed how sneakily jihye had pushed it towards him, a soft smile forming on his face. he was just about to ask if she really hated stirring things that much, but she had started laughing before he could even say anything. which of course, made him laugh. it was hard not to laugh when jihye was laughing, her happiness made him happy, and she just had the type of laugh that made other people want to laugh too. he actually ended up laughing harder than he originally intended to, for some reason not knowing why either of them were laughing was just funny to him. once he was able to stop and catch his breath, he began mixing all the ingredients.

he turned to her, the once small smile now a fully bloomed grin that spread across his face. “if you want i could watch everything to make sure it doesn’t burn then. for some reason i’m super good at it. like, when i make pancakes they always come out perfect, it’s like i have a talent for knowing exactly knowing when to flip food and when it’s all done.”

( okay, but don't feel the need to reply immediately! i'll be pretty busy today and tomorrow with working, travelling, and i'm in the middle of fixing my entire itunes library since everything decided to delete itself ;-;

speaking of which, redoing everything has literally fried my brain, i don't know if i have one anymore )

as they stood there making breakfast, jihye was surprised at how quiet they were being. they were just doing their own things, but it didn't take long since all they were doing was putting things in a bowl. jihye did seem to like it when they both just started laughing, since it did fill that gap that was made by their silence. it wasn't an awkward laughing either, they were both just happily laughing and enjoying making breakfast together. how incredibly cute of them. their time laughing was cut short as they both continued on with their tasks. while kaito was mixing, jihye took the bread and began to take out as many pieces as they'd need. she wasn't sure how much they needed, so she just decided to grab a stack. if they make extras, surely somebody else would enjoy them.

when he suggested he do the actual "cooking" aspect, or basically just flipping, jihye nodded in agreement. she then switched spots with him, so she was in charge of covering the bread and kaito was in front of the stove to flip the bread. out of nowhere, it seems like the twins could hear their conversation since she could hear one of them, probably sungjae, comment. "that's good, she burned the pancakes last time." even half asleep he can still manage to be annoying. embarrassed, jihye's ears started getting hot. "that was like two years ago, at least i can cook something other than cereal." she replied. but, you don't cook cereal? that was the point. sighing slightly, jihye started to get to work, coating the bread and passing it over to kaito for him to handle. "i'm not a bad cook or anything, it was just one time." she said softly, laughing at herself in embarrassment. it was like she was pleading to him to believe her, even though he probably did anyway. everyone makes mistakes when cooking, it just happens. but that one mishap with burning the pancake was something her family likes to keep joking about, so it didn't really bother jihye much.

liu yixiao

hana calling him cute was something he could hear forever. he'd never get tired of it at all, even if he didn't exactly want to be viewed as cute. xiao always wanted to be seen as the cooler type, but whenever he was with hana, he was perfectly fine with being cute. it was like a whole different side of him, only for hana. "i only like the extremely cute things, and look! you fit in that category perfectly, how convenient." he said with a slight laugh. if he can get away with calling hana cute any time he can, the boy will try. it's just a type of compliment that nobody can go wrong with saying, and that's the best part.

xiao was happy they had the same opinion about gore, he honestly couldn't see why people would actually like those types of movies. although, maybe it's just because xiao didn't have the heart to see anything like that. it's just disturbing to him, but others apparently found gore interesting. he sat silent as he thought about what they'd do first. that is, until hana spoke up and came up with their not-so-busy daily plan. it all sounded good, and luckily she considered going to sleep early. "yeah, we probably should get to bed early, we need all the sleep we can get." he said, stretching his arms up again. he wasn't even tired, but he was stretching like he was. "and if you're ever hungry, just say something. i'll buy lunch and dinner today." he said. xiao was certain he'd buy food today, since he hopefully made it clear yesterday, since hana was the one to buy yesterday. sitting up slowly, xiao reached over and grabbed the television remote, turning it on before handing it to hana so she can pick the first movie. xiao suddenly remembered the snacks they bought yesterday and how some of them still went uneaten. getting up, xiao walked over to pick up the bag before settling it towards the foot of the bed so it'd be easy for both of them to reach. "just in case we get a little hungry, but not too hungry." he explained in case hana was wondering. she probably wasn't, since snacks and movies went hand in hand. but it was just xiao's impulse to let her know.

(( sorry it took so long to reply, between being sick and the bad internet connection because of all the storms around here, it’s been really tough to try and post

also for hana and xiao i realize that there really isn’t much to say since they’re watching movies? so if you just wanna hold out on posting for them until later so we don’t have to do a huge timeskip for them and put them a whole day or something ahead of jihye and kaito, that’s fine with me !! ))

hana took the remote from xiao, ready to find a good horror movie to start off with, but before she could even press any buttons, he was up off the bed. she curiously watched him, face lighting up in realization as he dropped their bag of snacks at the end of the bed. what kind of movie marathon would they be having if they didn’t have snacks? “smart thinking, now come back and cuddle.” she smiled, patting the spot beside her gently before beginning her search for a good horror movie.

truthfully she knew a lot of good ones, she just had to make sure that it wasn’t too gory or scary, as much as she loved the idea of her and xiao getting scared and holding eachother, she didn’t like the idea of one of them actually getting really scared and ruining the cute little mood they had going. finally, she found one, glancing over to make sure xiao looked ready and comfortable, before pressing play.

“this one doesn’t start out scary.” she explained softly as the movie loaded, not wanting to be too loud. “it’s one of those that starts off normal and then some stuff happens and it gets scary from there on out.” hana set the remote to the side so she didn’t accidentally lose it in the bed somehow, and then snuggled up to xiao, resting her head on his shoulder and tugging the blankets up tightly over them. “if you get too scared, i can hold your hand.”

she glanced over at him and let out a soft laugh at the thought of him being scared, but quickly turned her attention back to the screen as the movie started. if xiao wanted to hold her hand, she wanted him to know that it was free game. if he had to hold onto her or anything like that, it was fine too. that was part of the appeal of watching scary movies with someone you liked so much, it was sort of an excuse to be super close.

nakajima kaito

kaito happily enjoyed the silence that returned after their little laughing session, ready to start flipping the french toast and keeping it from burning when he overhead one of the twins comment on jihye’s cooking. he really couldn’t help but laugh, but it wasn’t at her or anything. it was more at the fact that even early in the morning while the twins were still tired, they found energy to roast her cooking skills. plus, jihye’s reaction was rather cute.

“it’s okay, i believe you.” he said, starting to watch the food as it was placed onto the heat, determined to keep it from burning. usually he was able to perfectly cook foods, but with how nervous he got around jihye and how easily he embarrassed himself around girls, especially ones he liked, he was so sure that this would be the one time he burned food. “but are you sure it was only one time? you seemed really happy for me to take over the actual cooking part, maybe you were just afraid to have me see you burn our breakfast.”

kaito was teasing of course, and he let her know that with a soft smile and a quick wink. “but it’s okay if not being good at cooking is your one flaw, i guess nobody really is perfect then. not even someone as amazing as you.” he spoke a little louder than he just had been, wanting the twins to hear how cute and gross and cheesy they were being, maybe then they would cut out the teasing jihye a little. he liked it, it was cute and funny, but that didn’t mean he couldn’t tease them back. he was also saying it just to see jihye’s reaction, and in a way he did mean it. he did think jihye was amazing and perfect, even if she did burn pancakes.

as he started flipping the french toast, he glanced over at jihye out of the corner of his eye to look at her. “we’re too cute together.” he mumbled softly, glancing back at the food so it didn’t burn just because he wasn’t paying attention. “you know, since we’re already the nations pick and all, maybe one day we’ll be the nations couple.” his own words made him blush a little, just imaging him and jihye being an official couple and people loving and supporting them, not only as individuals, but as a couple. people already seemed to love them, enough for them both to be in first place on a show filled with hundreds of talented kids, so he couldn’t imagine that their opinion would change when they found out the two of them were a thing. well, not officially yet, but kaito hoped they would make it official between the two of them soon. just the idea of calling jihye his girlfriend had his heart racing in his chest. “wouldn’t that be cute?”

byun jihye

( don't worry, it's okay! )

jihye smiled, continuing her own job. there was a tiny possibility that kaito was right, but just a tiny possibility. jihye said quietly, trying to not laugh too loud. it's normal for kids to burn food, especially while they were learning. "they're just being obnoxious. at least i can cook, i don't think they've tried to do anything without my parents nearby with a fire extinguisher." jihye explained, just loud enough for only kaito to hear. since kaito met her family, jihye realized how ruthless her siblings can get, especially with each other. of course, it's not a meaningful type of rude, everything is just for jokes. they all had a really good relationship with each other, which is mainly expected from living together for so long. jihye was also glad the twins were respectfully welcoming kaito. being just as playful with him as they are with jihye would probably not be the best choice, especially for someone they just met.

she looked over just in time to see him wink at her and give her another compliment, yet again. he just loves to spoil her with compliments, doesn't he? from the other room, jihye could hear nothing but the sound of a faint cringy groan and a spoon dropping into the bowl. cheesiness always gets them. jihye smiled, wanting to laugh but didn't want to make a sound. instead, she just continued her little job. this is going to be a fun week if things continue like this.

as they kept working, jihye heard kaito mention them being cute together. they really were, that was a fact. it was as if they've known each other since childhood, but in reality they've only met each other not even two months ago. they had a really good amount of chemistry and they interacted really well together. they both seemed to really compliment each other, and both of them being total visuals was just a bonus. as kaito kept talking, jihye kept smiling. the thought of their titles being upgraded fro "nation's pick" to "nation's couple" was tempting. it was an extremely high title, but it wasn't one that came easily. plus, they actually need to be a couple first. they practically are, but not on official terms. but jihye has a good feeling about this vacation with kaito, a very good feeling. nodding, jihye agreed. "it'd be very cute. we'll get there someday." she told him happily. the thought of them actually being a real couple was just enough to make jihye feel giddy and happy. out of all the boys and girls in the world, kaito could've chosen anyone, but he chose her. jihye, the one who practically fell for him at first sight, was the one he chose. fate does work its magic sometimes, and it's absolutely beautiful.

( i mean, if you want to just not post for hana while they watch movies, that's fine! otherwise it'd jut be the same posts over and over again, which would really be boring to write tbh. also if you want to, we could probably timeskip through a few days for both of them so we both aren't struggling to find them things to do every single day, and so we're doing interesting things for all of them instead of having two of them going out and seeing all the wonders of the world while the others just sit and go "well what next". )

as he settled back into his spot, xiao smiled. "we're all set for the day. snacks, food's a call away, endless movies, you have me as your personal pillow, everything we need is all here." he said with a slight chuckle. he watched the screen as she flipped through movies, examining each one quickly. they didn't look that bad, with the exception of a few that hana quickly skipped over. there were a lot of movies xiao was very interested in just by seeing the cover art. maybe hana likes those too, or he can suggest them later.

when hana picked the movie, xiao outstretched his arms, inviting hana to lay with him. when she settled on his shoulder, xiao wrapped an arm around her instinctively, instantly getting comfortable. he really enjoyed being with hana like this, which was evident by how much he's thought about it and how he acts with her. it was like they were each made specifically to cuddle like this. they were perfect like this, and like said a million times, xiao could stay like this forever. as the movie started to play, xiao's eyes started to focus on the screen. he thought about what hana said. it didn't look too scary now, but that's just what she advised.

smiling to himself, a thought came into xiao's head. cheekily, xiao glanced over at hana. "or, could i just hold your hand because i want to?" he meant that to be a lot more bold and daring than how he actually said it, but he knew it'd probably be better if he asked hana to hold her hand instead of just going for it and grabbing her hand. while she probably wouldn't mind, it was always good to ask. plus, it did look kind of cute for him to ask her for something as simple as her holding his hand. who knows, he'll probably still be asking to hold her hand even years down the road.
