Topic: I need help from emoji expert. Urgent!!

Posted by: tteokbokki-filling penguin

Hi, I'll get to the point.

I have a senior (let's call him Y hyung) who I really love and respect as an elder brother. He is really cool and he always looks after me. We banter and tease (though it's mostly me teasing him) like normal siblings. He is known as sns king so he stays on social media most of the time, including Kakao Talk where we chat.

I don't mind chatting with him because he tends to get lonely easily and he's very sensitive. So, I always make sure to reply to his messages even if it's late in the night.

Anyway, I recently finished my individual work and I was very proud of myself and my awesome work. So, I boasted to Y hyung and asked him what he thought about my work.

This is his answer.

😘

I literally dropped my phone on my face! A kissy face emoji!! What was he thinking!!? Why did he send it to me!!? Did he want to kiss me!!? Does it have any other meaning and I'm just inept in sns language!!?

Help!!

Re: I need help from emoji expert. Urgent!!

Fall_Guy22: Isn't he just showing his affection for you? My older sister did this all the time, though she mainly did it to annoy me.

.

Re: I need help from emoji expert. Urgent!!

Master Cat: From what OP said, I don't think Y hyung sent it sarcastically. He seems to be really fond of you and that's probably his way of showing his affection.

Re: I need help from emoji expert. Urgent!!

Knightly-Night: Agree with upstairs.

Re: I need help from emoji expert. Urgent!!

SephirothXcloudFTW: Aww Y hyung is cute!!! Can I ship you two?? *sparkling eyes sticker*

Re: I need help from emoji expert. Urgent!!

Cat_Barton: NO

.

Re: I need help from emoji expert. Urgent!!

RedDevil_Glory: Calm down OP. It's just a harmless emoji.

.

Re: I need help from emoji expert. Urgent!!

OP: So you're telling me that my hyung didn't have a crush on me??? Really??? Like nothing??

.

Re: I need help from emoji expert. Urgent!!

Pawpatine: I can sense despair in OP's reply. The dark force is so strong here!!!

.

Re: I need help from emoji expert. Urgent!!

IhateSAND: OP it sounds like you're the one who has a crush on your Y hyung lol lol lol.

.

Re: I need help from emoji expert. Urgent!!

OP: No. We're just bros! That's why I got confused by that kissy emoji and wonder if it has any other meaning aside from, you know, kiss!!

.

Re: I need help from emoji expert. Urgent!!

Master Cat: No OP that emoji means nothing. Everyone here said so.

.

Re: I need help from emoji expert. Urgent!!

OP: Oh. I see. Thank you for your quick response!

It's me. I don't know if anyone remember my old post here but I need your help with emojis again.

So, Y hyung and I are still as close as ever. I recently cleared my busy schedule and took him to watch midnight movie together. Seeing my hyung happy make me happy too.

When I got home, I sent him a message to make sure that he got home safely. I also told him to not drink coffee before going to bed (Y hyung is addicted to coffee despite his insomnia) and told him to wear socks (Y hyung likes to wear as little clothes as possible to bed but it's getting cold now). Last but not least, I asked him if he enjoyed our movie night or not.

This is his answer:

🥰😚

Can you see it!!? This time, it's a heart and a kiss (peck?) emoji!!? Do brothers really send emojis like these?? What about that heart!!? Did Y hyung just confess to me!!? Did he say indirectly through emojis that he loves me and wants to kiss (peck?) me!!? What should I do!!?

Help!!

It's me again.

No. Y hyung and I aren't dating or whatever you might assume. We're just good brothers. Period.

Anyway, recently I was very busy and couldn't contact Y hyung for weeks. I felt bad but I had no choice. I just got discharged from the army so I need to work hard for my lost opportunities. Meanwhile, Y hyung is also busy with his individual work. He is some sort of a model so he has to watch out for his weight and whatnot. But I never like that. I think Y hyung is already good-looking. No need to go through a harsh diet!

But of course, he didn't listen to his beloved dongsaeng.

He skipped meals and when he ate, he barely ate anything!! (Imagine my fury when I found out that he used to have only two crackers per day when I was enlisted!!)

So, as an awesome and very capable beloved dongsaeng, I took the matter into my own hands. I dragged Y hyung to my place (I live in a dorm with a co-worker though he's rarely at home) and cooked a meal for him. When he only had a few bites, I fed him and managed to get him to eat at least a third of the bowl. Huge success!!

After that, I sat him down and listened to his worries attentively. Although Y hyung is older than me, he actually got hurt easily due to his pure heart and over-thinking habit. Anyway, I coaxed him well and got him to sleep early for once (we cuddled!!) When his younger brother (the true one) picked him up, I even made a homemade meal for him and told him to take care of himself while I was busy.

Then, later on that day, I was working and startled my co-workers when I got a message from Y hyung.

🥲😔🤗🫂🙂🥺💙💙

What should I do!!? I think Y hyung is really happy that we got to spend time together that he's crying!!! Also I think he also told me that my hug makes him fall in love with me!!? Look at those hearts!!! He literally confessed to me!!! But I don't want to break his heart because we're just brothers!!!!

Help!!!!

I'm back and need your help again.

Remember Y hyung's individual work I mentioned in my last post? I decided to drop by his workplace to surprise him along with our another co-worker. Needless to say, he was very happy to see me. Of course, he would. After all, I spent my very rare day off for him. The way his eyes lit up after seeing me was worth dragging my tired body out of the bed.

Anyway, I stayed with him and helped with his work even though it was delayed into late night. After that, I sent him home and sent a goodnight message.

Do you know what his answer is?

💋💙

Y hyung is unstoppable!! He literally sent a kiss emoji to me!!! He was very happy with my surprised visit that he wanted to kiss me!!! There is no other explanation!!!

But we're brothers...

Please tell me that friends or brothers also send this kind of emoji to each other and it's normal.

Help!!

Topic: I need help from emoji expert. THIS IS YOUR FAULT (5)

Posted by: tteokbokki-filling penguin

Y HYUNG IS VERY ANGRY AT ME!

I totally blame you all for this one. I believed your ridiculous analysis of my hyung's emojis and followed your even more ridiculous suggestion to kiss him. NOW EVERYTHING IS MESSED UP.

So, we're about to have big group project soon so we often meet to discuss. One day, my dorm mate slept over at his boyfriend's house so I took Y hyung to the dorm after meeting and we had a glass of wine. Y hyung is light-weighted so he only had one glass, but it was enough to make his lips redden and luscious, very kissable.

Partly due to the alcohol, partly due to your ridiculous comments, I kissed him. He kissed me back. We kissed for very long. Tongue and teeth and all (though I couldn't remember who started it, probably Y hyung, definitely not me).

I didn't even know how we moved from the dinning table to the living room couch. We were kinda busy being all over one another, trying to take off our clothes.

Then, Y hyung called me by my name, all the while looking y and tempting; panting with swollen lips and hazy gaze...

And I realized that I was a bad dongsaeng who took advantage of my precious hyung. So, I apologized to Y hyung and said it was on me + alcohol. However, Y hyung got very angry. He didn't hit me (because he made a promise when I was in a coma from car accident to never hit me again) but his eyes said it all. He was angry, disappointed, and sad. He immediately left and refused to answer my call or reply to my message. However...

He left this emoji 😘 in all of his friends' and dongsaengs' posts!!!

You guys told me that this emoji means being fond of someone, nothing romantic, right? Y hyung is just upset that I'm a bad dongsaeng so he turns to other juniors, right?? But I still hate it! I want my hyung to only use those emojis with me! How should I apologize to him and make him stop commenting those emojis on other men's posts?

Help!!!

Re: I need help from emoji expert. THIS IS YOUR FAULT (5)

Fujo-Chan: [Serious mode] OP why are you upset at Y hyung adopting other dongsaengs? He has every right to do so but you have no right to stop him or even whine. You're just one of his many dongsaengs so who are you to govern over his life? Y hyung already gave you leeway cuz he's fond of you but no way he'd choose you over his future husband. One day, Y hyung will be happy with some man (who could be one of the men Y hyung commented 😘 on their posts). So, I advise you to prepare your heart for the day Y hyung eventually meets that person and forgets about you 💁

.

Re: I need help from emoji expert. THIS IS YOUR FAULT (5)

Pawpatine: Hardest to swallow pill right there!

.

Re: I need help from emoji expert. THIS IS YOUR FAULT (5)

OP: No!!! I don't want that!! I won't let it happen!! I've always liked him and taken care of him! Y hyung is very sensitive and his personality is unique. No one knows him and understands him as I do. I know how to make him smile when he feels down, how to coax him when he's angry, how to comfort him when he's sad, or how to calm him when he's too excited. I should be the only one by hyung's side!

Posted by: tteokbokki-filling penguin

I couldn't thank you all enough!!! Really, thank you from the bottom of my heart!!! 

I went to Y hyung's house and he was waiting for me. (I won't share details but let's say I'll never forget our night together 🤤) It's amazing that my hyung still has a side that I haven't seen before (and I'm the only one who can see it). In a nutshell, we talked and I finally understood how stupid I was. Luckily, Y hyung (now my boyfriend) forgave me. He actually laughed and said that I've been acting like his husband since forever so he wasn't mad. (I don't think I ever do something like that but okay).

So, we're dating now! Our team will go to Japan for work and I plan to stay behind with my gorgeous boyfriend. Not only will I take him on a date, but I'll also buy a ring and purpose to him!

I can already see that we're going to have amazing days together and it's all thanks to everyone here, esp @Fujo-Chan for your advice.

Thank you!!

I'll be busy with work soon and busy taking care of my beloved boyfriend. So, this is my last thread.

I wish you all the best!

Author's note:

My last submission for kyusung week 2022! I think my entries this year are lackluster compared to last time, but I'm happy that I'm able to push something out...

I'm going to take a break. Dunno how long. Maybe a week or two or more. My main job and side gig are stressing me out T_T So I kinda lose my passion to write. I'll get some rest and (hopefully) come back refreshed with more kyusung fic! I'm happy that now there are more kyusung authors so you guys still have something to read in my absence >< 

Thank you for always supporting me! Esp frequent commenters :) I might not reply sometimes but I remember you all. Without you I wouldn't be here 💙

Take care and love you!
