ilhoon ffミ

-

you sneaked up behind him, his eyes only transfixed on the large monitor in the resting rooms.

 

unlike other members, he was seated down infront of one of the makeup tables with a mirror, yet he was too focused to notice you.

 

the other members placed a finger on their lips, signalling that they wouldn't say a word to him about you. 

 

ilhoon's eyes were completely mesmerised by the 7 boys' performance on music bank. they must have danced hard, seeing almost every member ed a button or two, or ilhoon, pulling down the collar until it rested behind his back. holding a small portable fan at his face, his sweat still dripped from the back of his ear down onto his exposed shoulders.

 

although the other members were silent, they were not any different. totally immersed into their pre-broadcasted performance, they probably forgot about you too.

 

"ilhoon-ah!!" your fingers slowly caressed the crease between his neck and shoulder.

 

shocked, he almost threw the fan at you when he turned to see you. you only smiled brightly, seeing your boyfriend get scared was too cute to you.

"what are you doing here?" ilhoon tried speaking, but was cut off when you turned his head away and began massaging his shoulders.

"oppa, aren't you tired?" you smiled at him through the mirror, chasing his shaking eye pupils for eye contact.

"yes but..." ilhoon swiftly turned around again to face the rest of btob.

they could care less since all of them were still focused on the pre-broadcast.

"come on, ilhoon, follow me for a bit please?" you pull out his chair with your foot, immediately walking infront of him.

you moved closer to his face, breaths hitting his cheek. you felt his muscles tense underneath you but you just giggled.

"yuck. don't think dirtily!" you quickly pulled up his collar to cover up his body and buttoned them neatly before dragging him out of the specific area with the staff and members.

you stood silently with him in an empty corner of the other partitioned room, standing close to him. 

"i really missed you since i left korea, oppa," you reached up towards his chest to embrace him, rubbing your face into his shirt.

you felt him move away, and you began feeling uneasy.

"ilhoon? why?"

"no it's just that... if you dirty my shirt my stylists will kill me. sorry! you can lie on my arm instead, okay?" he pulled up and folded the sleeves of his dress shirt, now exposing his toned arm instead.

you didn't reply, but understandingly squished your face into his muscular arm. as soon as your soft, chubby cheeks came into contact with it, you became flabbergasted.

"wah!! ilhoon!! you totally got buff!" you pulled your face away, replacing them with your nit picky hands and fingers. almost as if tugging at a guitar, your fingers traced his bluish-purple veins and his hard muscles.

"my ilhoon has grown so much in two years!" you proudly said to him, holding his hands but nothing else. especially not kiss, since he had makeup on. it would be burdensome to reapply everything to make it perfect. 

swaying your hands with his, ilhoon's eyes matches with yours. that perfect gaze into your eyes told you that he really was the one for you.

although this was the first time you two had met after you studied overseas, you two had maintained close-contact despite being in a long-distance relationship.

 

korea to united kingdom, miles away. yet the country ilhoon feels so entitled to visit. he was extremely jealous when he realised you were going there to study, after feeling sad.

 

"oppa, i know it's been a while since we literally, um, seen each other but," you let go of his hands slowly, digging into your jeans' pocket for something.

"for these past three years we've been together: the first year in korea and the last two, we were in agonising pain because of the distance.

 

"now, now we're back together, oppa! i promise to be faithful and understanding."

 

"what are you saying?" ilhoon cocked his head, a little confused.

 

"this... it's a little modern but..."

 

you passed him a ring; a silver ring with a small diamond on it. you placed it in the middle of his large palms.

 

"i really think we're meant to be. i got one for me too, see?" you took another ring out of your pocket; a matching one.

 

you slipped it onto your own ring finger, and moved towards ilhoon to do the same for him.

 

he looked frozen, but you didn't know whether he was regretting or excited or just... surprised.

 

"oppa? sorry..! is this too much? it's our first time meeting after two years right? this seems way too cheesy and quick—"

 

ilhoon's chest crashed into yours and his long, big arms tightened gently around your small frame. he rested his chin between the nook of your neck, pushing the hair away from the area, then pecked it softly. 

 

you couldn't move at all, the surprise was too... surprising.

 

you stood there like ice as he retreated his arms away from you, striking you the second time as he slipped the ring you gave onto his ring finger.

 

he moved his hand further from his face, inspecting it from afar. 

 

"it's beautiful and yeah...

 

ilhoon did nothing except for holding your hands and gazing melancholically into your eyes as if he was about to cry.

 

"i love you, you're the only one for me, too."

 

you smiled back at him, swiping your thumb underneath his eyes to see if there were any tears that had been shed. sure enough, there were small wet drops collecting on his eyelashes. regardless the makeup since he was crying anyway, you swiped your thumb over his eyes.

 

"don't cry, ilhoon-ah. i love you too," you pulled him closer and kissed him lightly on his cheek.

 

in the midst of all this, suddenly there were wailing noises from behind the other room.

 

"our ilhoon-hyung is getting married soon then? oh you're so old, hyung!" sungjae said in between sniffs of snot.

 

minhyuk and eunkwang barely teared but just looked at him as they thought they had raised him as an adult right.

 

hyunsik was tilting his head upwards, stopping the tears from flowing like sungjae's. his hands covered his probably red nose from crying as well. his eyes were still as if raining, although the angle of his head was supposed to avoid that.

 

changsub was totally unlike them, and was winking at you like a while showing you thumbs up. he was proud ilhoon had gained a woman like you.

 

suddenly peniel ran up to ilhoon and hugged him tightly, "ilhoonie! i'm so happy for you!" 

 

ilhoon chuckled slightly with you and hugged his fellow member back.

 

you looked around at all the other members who were actively supporting your relationship with him then eventually at your groom-to-be, jung ilhoon.

 

you met his eyes again and couldn't help but notice the huge, beaming smile on his face.
