Full Bloom - Jaemin x Ryujin

Description

Preamble: Her

Through some odd chances, Dream members grow closer to SKZ 00s line through promotion. They hung out more and more often as they find similarities in their random interests, game, anime, photography, cooking and whatnot. It started when Chenle invited Felix to his apartment when Jaemin and Jeno are visiting. From there, the crew went bigger. Han, Sungmin, IN join the group. And what even more surprising, ITZY members often tag along.

From there, Ryujin gets to know Jaemin. Jaemin quickly piques her interest because he is particularly outspoken and insightful when they talk about topics she loves the most, photography, films, anime and whatnot. When they hung out, he surely knows what he talks about and speaks volumes on the broad knowledge of the topic. It impresses her enough that she'll often initiate random conversations about what movies to watch, camera lenses, and such. She knows he's the right person to ask. Their comfortable friendship grew from there to the point that even without SKZ member around, she will tag along when Jaemin out with Jeno. Bikes ride, coffee time, photo hunting, and more.

It takes a while before Ryujin grows conscious of Jaemin. It starts with the most obvious ones - his physical features. She admits that he's handsome, from the first time they pass by in the backstage of music festivals he stood out among others. Upon closer look, she realizes that there's more to that: his long eyelashes, gentle facial features, broad shoulders and well-built muscles. Not long after she notices the small habits. The way he bites his lips when being absentminded, the energy surges after he had his americano with a ridiculous amount of shots, the way he talks like a kindergarten teacher when the group starts bickering with one another, or the way he fell silent when the crowd energy becomes too much to handle. It takes months until she realizes, maybe it's a crush.

She's not particularly experienced with romance. Sure she had a crush before, and like this one, she didn't know what to do with them. So she try her hardest to keep it at bay. It's kinda okay. And she’s keeping it quiet, the members sometimes wonder whether she likes Jaemin but her answer was always a strict and resounding No. They’ll endlessly about him, but she able to put up a good front.

Only until when they're out on a late-night walk on Hanggang, Jaemin's tell a story about his first heartbreak. Sure, It's not just the two of them, Jeno, Felix and Lia were there too so it's not as intimate as people might think. But something in the way his voice become vulnerable and eyes stare into the distance - she knew then that he's a man to fall for.

Foreword

Chapter 3: Omg, this is so freaking cuteeeee 😍 Is there more? Or does this story end at chapter 3? I want to read more but if you decided to end it here, it’s okay too. Is there any chance that you will write about other NCTZY couples too? Cause I really like your writing and there are not a lot of NCTZY fanfic out there 😢
