“Minhyuk!” Jaehyo yelled from the door as he rapidly tied his shoelaces, “Hurry the hell up! We’re going to be late for the recording!”

Following Jaehyo, Taeil and Jihoon quickly ran out of their rooms as they threw their stage outfits over their shoulders. Kyung and Zico came out only a couples seconds later bickering about something before they too hastily made their way to the front door.

“Jaehyo hyung! Did you take my hair clip?” Yoo-Kwon asked as he rushed out of the bathroom with his hair all over the place as it defied gravity. Jaehyo guiltily shook his head before he stormed out of the house, leaving a pouty faced Yoo-Kwon.

“Yah. I’ll buy you another one, Kwonnie. Just put a beanie on for now. We’re late as it is.” Zico said as he softly gave Yoo-Kwon a small pat on the back before he ushered s towards the door. He quickly stopped in the doorway when he noticed something was amiss. Or rather, someone.

“Where the hell is Minhyuk?” Zico asked before he scanned that apartment with no sign of the main dancer before he turned his gaze towards Yoo-Kwon. Zico raised an eyebrow signaling for an answer but got nothing as Yoo-Kwon didn’t know where Minhyuk was either.

“You guys go ahead, Zico. I’ll get Minhyuk.” Yoo-Kwon said with a smile before he turned around and made his way towards the rooms where Minhyuk might be. Zico scratched his head in frustration as he never understood why s never listened to him when he was the leader. He clearly told all of them to go sleep early as they had a schedule early in the morning yet none of them listened to him.

Jaehyo, Taeil, and Jihoon played stupid board games all night long while Kyung went out with various girls he had met at a local event. But the worst of them all was the dancing pair. Or more specifically, Minhyuk.

He would always “kidnap” Yoo-Kwon and disappear with the red-head for the night. They would go out till late and comeback when everyone was already seeping. Being the leader, Zico hated s doing things behind his backs; things he couldn’t see. Especially since that brat Minhyuk was always out of Zico’s sight.

Nonetheless, Yoo-Kwon searched two of the rooms before he made his way to the third and final room in the house. He grabbed the knob and turned it but found it lock. He furrowed his brows before he tried turning the knob again. Still locked.

“Minhyuk?” Yoo-Kwon asked as he lightly knocked on the door before he heard some quick shuffling on the other side of the door, “Minnie? You in there?”

Yoo-Kwon placed his ear against the door for a second before he slowly felt himself fall forward as the door swung open. Yoo-Kwon softly landed in Minhyuk’s chest as Minhyuk steadily wrapped his arms around the younger’s waist.

“Did you call me, babe?” Minhyuk asked with a smile as he tightened his hold on Yoo-Kwon’s waist; pulling the younger closer. Minhyuk smiled the infamous side smirk of his before he leaned in and lightly pecked Yoo-Kwon’s lips.

“Yah. What were you doing behind the lock doors?” Yoo-Kwon asked with a fake pout, “Zico is really mad because you didn’t come out when he called for you.”

“Well then, we should get going so that blonde leader won’t be so mad.” Minhyuk said as he turned Yoo-Kwon around and away from the door. He loosely placed his arm around Yoo-Kwon’s waist as he led the way towards the front door. Where an upset leader was waiting for them in the van.

“All right! That’s a wrap!” The producer yelled as the music died down before the cameras came rolling down. The seven members of Block B held their ending pose for a couple of seconds before they all bowed and thanked the staff; quickly making their way down and off the stage.

The coordi noonas all came rushing out from the waiting room as some handed water to the boys while others handed towels and whatnot. Kyung took the lead to their waiting room as he teased and poked fun at one of the noonas with Jihoon tagging along. Jaehyo and Taeil stuck by Zico as Zico explained the mistakes the two vocalists had made on stage.

At the very back of the bunch were the two dancers of Block B; all alone in their own world as the two devilishly threw each other side glances and teasing touches here and there. Out of sight from others; even the members.

As bad as the two felt about keeping their relationship hidden from their other five brothers, they knew now was not the time to tell them. The group had just debuted and recently released an album, so there is just too much going on for each member for Minhyuk and Yoo-Kwon to reveal their relationship.

They will tell the members but just not now.

“You know, you never told me why you locked the door to the room this morning.” Yoo-Kwon asked as he playfully slapped Minhyuk’s hand away from his thigh in fear that someone might see.

“I was changing.” Minhyuk said with wide grin that Yoo-Kwon didn’t buy, “What? I am serious. I was changing.”

“—If you say so.” Yoo-Kwon said with suspicion before all the members of Block B swarmed into their waiting room; with Minhyuk running his hand over Yoo-Kwon’s thigh once more with a devious smirk. Causing the red-head to laugh out loud at his boyfriend’s raging hormones.

After that performance, Yoo-Kwon started to notice Minhyuk was practically late very morning for every schedule they had. He would be in the same room with the door locked doing who knows what. The members would occasionally knock on the door but they would get no reply. Not even Yoo-Kwon.

But Yoo-Kwon didn’t concern himself with it too much because if there was one thing he has learned about Minhyuk since they first started dating in their trainee days, then it was that Minhyuk is really a mysterious person.

The older male would always be in his own thoughts and only spoke when spoken to. He would give his output in things when he felt it was necessary. He rarely revealed any information about himself when everyone first met and some of the members still don’t know much about the main dancer.

Of course, Yoo-Kwon was an exception since Minhyuk endlessly blabbed away about himself when the two were together in the dance studio back then. From the very beginning, the two quickly got along and easily become best friends. They didn’t know if it was because they were both dancers or because they were the most “normal” ones out of the seven, but they felt just so right and perfect together since day one.

Anyhow, Yoo-Kwon calmly walked into the kitchen as he grabbed a bowl of rice before sitting himself down on the table. With Kyung right behind him as he too grabbed bowl.

“Yah, Kwonnie. Don’t you think Minhyuk is acting weird nowadays?” Kyung asked as he scooped up a spoonful of rice before shoving it into his mouth. Yoo-Kwon slowly chewed his food before he glanced up at Kyung.

“No. He’s acting like himself.” Yoo-Kwon flatly said as he went back to eating before Kyung placed his spoon down and leaned in towards Yoo-Kwon.

“I think he is doing ‘that’ since he locks the door.” Kyung said with squinted eyes in thought as the rice in Yoo-Kwon’s mouth quickly clogged his air passageway. Resulting in a series of coughs.

“W-What do you mean by ‘that’ Kyung?” Yoo-Kwon asked in short breaths.

“You know, stuff that guys do behind closed doors.” Kyung said with a “duh” Face.

“Yah! Minhyuk isn’t like that! He doesn’t do that stuff.” Yoo-Kwon proclaimed with heat rushing to his face. Plus, if Minhyuk wanted to fool around, he does have a cute little boyfriend.

“How do you know he doesn’t fool around with himself?” Kyung asked with a suspicious face as he laid his spoon down and intently gazed onto the flushed face of Yoo-Kwon.

Because he fools around with me, you greasy rapper.

Is what Yoo-Kwon wanted to say but instead, he grabbed his spoon and shoved a ginormous bite into his mouth; mumbling words that Kyung couldn’t decipher. With a shrug of his shoulders, Kyung resumed his eating while still claiming that Minhyuk fooled around behind the doors.

Half way through the lunch, maknae Jihoon came running out of his room with a frantic expression on his face. He quickly dashed towards his two hyungs in the kitchen before slamming his hands on the table. Scaring the crap out of Yoo-Kwon and Kyung.

“I need your help, hyungs!” Jihoon exclaimed with his deep voice.

“Our help? For what?” Kyung asked as he munched on his food while Yoo-Kwon held the same expression towards their not so maknae-looking maknae.

“—Tomorrow’s Valentine’s day and I want to surprise . . . . Taeil hyung.” Jihoon meekly said with a shy expression as Kyung’s mouth gaped at the maknae. Yoo-Kwon, however, had a small smile on his face as he thought it was about time Jihoon realized his feelings towards the main vocal and eldest hyung.

“Yah. Do you like Taeil that much that you wanna spend Valentine’s with him?” Kyung asked with furrowed brows as he couldn’t comprehend how someone would want to spend Valentine’s with one of s instead of some hot chicks. Kyung couldn’t understand s sometimes.

Then again, no one really understood Kyung as he was a complete grease ball.

“Yes I like Taeil hyung that much that I wanna spend Valentine’s with him.” Jihoon mocked Kyung before he faced Yoo-Kwon. The hyung that was always so sweet and smiley; his favorite hyung besides Taeil and Zico. “What do you think, Yoo-Kwon hyung. Any suggestions?”

“Hm. How about you get him chocolate in the shape of fish? Or maybe those fish balloons with ‘Happy Valentine’s!’ written on it with hearts?” Yoo-Kwon seriously said as he thought up of various things he had always wanted people to do for him. Or rather, his special someone.

Of course, one might wonder why Yoo-Kwon would dream of such things when he has a boyfriend that can ,you know, do those things for him. Well, seeing as how the two have been only dating for a little over three years, they never really had free time on February 14 because as trainees, they would dance and sing for countless hours before they went home. And after their debut, they were too busy as rookies and getting their name out here that never had February 14 off.

But that doesn’t mean the two spent the day of love empty; they would give each other small pieces of chocolate in between schedules or dance breaks before getting right back to work. And in all honesty, it was small things like this that made Yoo-Kwon happy. He was content with the smiles, the kisses, and the little chocolates from Minhyuk.

“Hyung! You’re amazing!” Jihoon exclaimed with a big smile as he bear hugged Yoo-Kwon before running back to his room. Kyung made a pout with his mouth as he felt bitter that the maknae didn’t give him a hug before he looked at a smiling Yoo-Kwon.

“Kwonnie, what are you going to do on Valentine’s?”

“—Um. Not sure.” Yoo-Kwon replied in all honesty as he really didn’t know what he was going to do. They had a schedule tomorrow, so there goes the plan of spending the day with Minhyuk.

Yoo-Kwon silently munched into his food as a small twinge of pain and disappointment settled in his chest. Although he isn’t greedy for much, he really does wish that he and Minhyuk could spend one Valentine’s Day just like all the other couples. Not hastily running around from one schedule to another.

“Hurry! Hurry!” Zico yelled as all the members recklessly scattered around the house looking for their belongings; backpacks, shoes, jackets, sunglasses, rings and necklaces. The mornings in Block B’s dorm was always like this: hectic.

Just as everybody was ready to go, Zico noticed that they were missing one member. Yet again.

“YAH! LEE MINHYUK!” Zico yelled at the top of his lungs before Yoo-Kwon pulled the leader down with his hand and placed a finger on his lips. Shushing Zico as Zico raised an eyebrow at the dancer before Yoo-Kwon shyly smiled.

“Minhyuk told me he isn’t feeling well, so he won’t be able to make it. The president said he has the day off.” Yoo-Kwon gently informed before he ushered the members out of the door before glancing at the locked door once more. He apologetically smiled towards the door as he felt guilty towards leaving a sick Minhyuk.

{[]}

“What do you mean I can't continue the rest of the recording?” Yoo-Kwon asked with a pout as the other five members got into a van that had no room left over for the dancer.

“We got a call that you had to go home now. We’ll finish up our schedule then meet you later.” Zico informed before he closed the van door with the members waving goodbye towards the stunned and confused Yoo-Kwon.

The van drove off into the main street as Yoo-Kwon turned around with heavy steps as he made his way towards the dorm. Yoo-Kwon felt mixed emotions. He was happy that he was able to go home and be with Minhyuk in order to take care of him but he was also upset that he wasn’t able to finish his schedule. For unknown reasons at that too!

Yoo-Kwon slowly opened the door to the house in fear that he might wake up Minhyuk, but quickly froze in place as he noticed that all the lights were turned off, curtains, drawn and small pink candles lit all over the floor in the shape of a cat. Yoo-Kwon’s favorite.

Stunned, Yoo-Kwon runs his eyes over the house but sees nothing as his eyes fail him in the dark. He slowly and carefully takes a step forward with shoes off as he feels something under his feet. He bends down and fists a handful of pink rose petals.

Yoo-Kwon softly smiles to himself in utter and sheer happiness as he walks forward; standing in the middle of the candle cat outline. He looks left and right before he sees a figure emerge from the hallway.

Yoo-Kwon squints his eyes and makes out Minhyuk’s figure who is wearing a pink shirt, with white pants, and something round-like in his . . . hand?

Yoo-Kwon attempts to open his mouth but loses his voice as Minhyuk emerges from the dark into the light; with a sweet and tender smile that Yoo-Kwon loves more than anything. A smile that made Yoo-Kwon fall for Minhyuk in the first place.

The smile that started everything between the two.

“Happy Valentine’s day, babe.” Minhyuk softly whispers as he inches towards a frozen Yoo-Kwon who is obviously holding his tears back. Once within reach, Minhyuk holds out a small round-like object that was wrapped up in pink gift wrapping paper. Yoo-Kwon looks up at Minhyuk, the gift, and back at Minhyuk who nods towards the object.

Yoo-Kwon slowly grabs the gift and curiously unwraps it while holding back his tears and breath. Minhyuk intently watches Yoo-Kwon as his younger boyfriend’s eyes dilate twice their size when he completely unwrapped the gift; revealing a jar full pink notes.

Yoo-Kwon looks up at Minhyuk with eyes that are brimmed with tears and lips that were cutely quivering. Minhyuk softly laughs a gentle laugh before he cups Yoo-Kwon’s face.

“I hope you like your gift, Yoo-Kwon, because it’s the first of many more to come. I promise.” Minhyuk softly whispers before leaning in and kissing the heart shaped lips that he was so addicted to. Yoo-Kwon’s tears finally roll down the sides of his cheeks as his emotions could not be held back any longer.

Minhyuk slowly pulls off from the sweet French kiss as he wraps his arms around Yoo-Kwon’s waist; drawing the crying dancer into his chest. Yoo-Kwon buries his face in Minhyuk’s neck but doesn’t get far as the jar of notes in between them pushes Yoo-Kwon back.

Minhyuk lightly laughs with Yoo-Kwon following suit before he takes a closer look at the jar. He looks up at Minhyuk and asks permission to open it before Minhyuk cutely shrugs his shoulders up and down. With a smile, Yoo-Kwon slowly corks the lid off the jar and pulls out the most obvious note that was white unlike the rest of the batch that was pink.

“In this jar are 100 reasons why I love Kim Yoo-Kwon and 100 reasons why he is meant to be with me.” Yoo-Kwon softly reads the white note with a broken voice as he looks up at Minhyuk; who has the sweet smile plastered all over his handsome face.

“Do you like it, babe?” Minhyuk softly asks with orbs intently watching Yoo-Kwon who could only cry and nod his head. Minhyuk sighed in relief and cupped Yoo-Kwon’s face yet again, as the jar was an obstacle to allow them to hug, and kissed his favorite pair of lips.

“Happy Valentine’s day, Lee Minhyuk.” Yoo-Kwon whispered against his older boyfriend’s lips, “I am sorry I have nothing to give to you but my love, heart, and these darn tears that won’t stop.”

“Your love, heart, and tears are more than enough, Yoo-Kwon.” Minhyuk said with his devious smirk “Besides, I am patiently waiting for the day that I can get 'that' gift from you on Valentine’s. So, you don’t need to get me anything, babe.”

At Minhyuk’s words, Yoo-Kwon’s cheeks flushed a deep red before he threw his gaze down to the floor and cutely clutched onto the jar in shyness. Minhyuk laughed at his boyfriend’s before he wrapped his arms around Yoo-Kwon’s shoulders and drew the blushing dancer close.

“For now, my gift will be these delicious little kisses.” Minhyuk whispered before he lightly kissed Yoo-Kwon’s lips that merged into a smile. He kissed Minhyuk right back as he thought how he wouldn’t mind giving Minhyuk these kisses. Yoo-Kwon knew for a fact that these kisses weren’t ever going to run out.

Unlike chocolate.
