Your eyes were glued intently to the screen in front of you, scrolling through the vast library of pictures available on the web. Glancing at the time located at the bottom right corner of the computer screen, you yawned on cue. Huddled up in bed, you were dressed in an oversized woollen pullover and comfortable shorts. Balancing your laptop on your knees, you ignored the nagging fatigue tugging at your senses. Clicking on a video, you leaned against the headrest to watch the clip of BTOB’s the Star Interview. It was exactly what you needed to chase away the 3am-in-the-morning- drowsiness. Your eyes widened at your oppas acting out lovey dovey scenes from the drama, the moon embraces the sun. Trying to stifle your loud chuckles, you eventually gave up and burst into roars of laughter. Your poor victim, in the likes of a large rikakuma plushie, was almost squashed by the intensity of which you were hugging it to your chest. Drowning in fits of giggles, you didn’t hear the thumping at the door, nor noticed that someone had come into the room. “Is it that funny noona?” A voice from behind you made you jump in shock, slamming the laptop shut. “You guys are back from practice? Yah Sung Jae ah~ don’t you ever knock?” You chided playfully, fanning your flushed face with a pillow. The younger boy pouted cutely. “I knocked! But you were too busy fan girling over us and our skinship”, he said in a deadpan, shaking his head with a sigh. Shooting a glare at him, you couldn’t help but break out into another round of giggles, remembering how he had cupped Hyun Sik’s face in the scene they were acting out. “Is there something I can help you with?” You asked him curiously. Sung Jae shuffled his feet uneasily, running a hand through his hair. You watched him intently, raising an eyebrow at his unusual demeanour. “Come on… You know you can tell me anything right? I’ll definitely help you to the best of my ability!” You chimed cutely, tugging on the sleeve of his ripped cardigan. Sung Jae sighed, letting a sheepish smile frame his sharp chiselled features. “I need Sung Yeong’s number”, Sung Jae whispered softly. Your eyes widened as your jaw dropped in shock. “Wh..a.what?” You stammered, caught off guard at his request. “Come on noona… Please? Didn’t you say you would help me?” Sung Jae pouted adorably, pulling one of his rare ageyo faces whilst pounding his fists on your shoulder. “But she’s like a little sister to me”, you whined, still unable to comprehend the situation. “And I’m like a younger brother to you right? Come on noona… Please? My future is at stake”, Sung Jae continued to plead desperately, shooting you with relentless smiles. You couldn’t help but chuckle at his adorable actions. “Aish. Arraso. I’ll give you her number. But you’ve got to pick it up from here; the rest depends on you alright?” You teased with a glint in your eyes, picking up your phone to send him Sung Yeong’s number. Sung Jae’s face lit up brightly when the phone in his hands beeped. Pumping his fists in the air, he exclaimed: “Thank you noona! You’re the best!” After enveloping you in an overly friendly hug, he skipped; yes skipped out of the room. You couldn’t help but chuckle at his cute reaction as you straightened your clothes.

Slowly, you stretched out on the bed, making yourself comfortable and ready for another hour of monitoring your BTOB oppas over the internet. Lying on your tummy, you propped yourself up on your elbows, carefully burrowing yourself under the blanket such that only your head was peeking out of the makeshift cavern. As you scrolled through BTOB’s thread on tumblr, a smile started to tug at your lips. The edited pictures of BTOB and their behind stories were absolutely adorable. With eager eyes, you continued to scroll down the endless thread of photos, eyes twinkling in delight.
It wasn’t long before you succumbed to the tendrils of sleep, laying your head drowsily on your arms...

Min Hyuk had just finished showering after a long day of schedules. Taking swift steps down the hallway, he had wanted to check up on you. Rubbing his hair absent-mindedly with a towel, he couldn’t help but smile slightly. The prospect of seeing you after a long, tiring day of work was absolutely rewarding. He hated being away from you, and only being able to see you in the wee hours of the morning and in the late depths of the night. You had always been supportive of him pursuing his career, even if it meant that the both of you hardly saw each other, despite living under the same roof. That never meant he forgot you though. Throughout the day, images of your smiling face would drift into his mind. He wondered what you were doing, if you had eaten, or if maybe you missed him as much as he missed you. If it were possible, he would do enough missing for the both of you. He couldn’t imagine the loneliness you had to endure when the both of you had to go through days of not seeing each other. He clutched the two tickets in his palm tightly, feeling the excitement build in his veins. Finally, the both of you would be able to spend an uninterrupted day together. Knocking lightly on your door, he raised an eyebrow quizzically when silence resounded down the hallway. “Maybe she’s already asleep”, he muttered under his breath, turning the doorknob as gently as he could. Noticing the radiating light from the laptop screen, and the lump on the bed beside it, he shook his head with a smile. Aish... My pabo girl... Why didn’t you just go to sleep? What were you doing up and on the computer?  With a quiet chuckle, he walked to your bedside before crouching down on his knees. Placing his arms on the bed, he rested his chin on his arms, content with studying your angelic face.  A strand of hair fell over your eyes, making you twitch slightly in your sleep. Min Hyuk’s smiled widely at your cute reaction before reaching out to curl the strand of hair behind your ear. Turning his attention to your laptop, he reached out to turn it off. The screen flickered brightly, illuminating the library of images on the internet. “Is that what you were up doing? Did you miss me that much?” Min Hyuk whispered softly, gazing intently at the enlarged photo of him materialising on the screen. As he left the laptop to shut down itself, he turned his attention back to you. “I’m so sorry, Mi Young ah”, he whispered under his breath, a mere mumble on his lips. Slowly, he planted a gentle kiss on your forehead, one on the bridge of your nose, and a final one on your lips. You shuffled in your sleep.
Were you dreaming about Min Hyuk again? Sub-consciously, you thought you had heard the sweet familiar voice that you had missed so dearly. The final pressure you felt on your lips was enough to pull you out of your drifting slumber. Slowly, your eyes fluttered open, and the first thing you saw was the breathtaking face of the boy you swore you were just dreaming about. “Annyeong oppa”, you chimed sleepily, mirroring the beautiful smile plastered on his face. “Tsk... Did you just steal a kiss from me while I was sleeping?” You teased quietly, reaching out to poke his cheek playfully. Chuckling at your accusation, Min Hyuk grabbed your hand swiftly, intertwining his fingers with yours. “Why were you looking at my pictures on the internet? Wouldn’t you rather see the real me?” He asked quietly, playing with your fingers. “Of course I would oppa, you have no idea how much I’ve missed you”, you answered with a sad smile, tugging on his arm and pulling him onto the bed. You could no longer take the physical distance between the both of you, not wanting to deny yourself the comfort of being in his arms. Crawling onto the bed, Min Hyuk reached for you, wrapping his muscular arms around your torso. He sighed deeply, glad to finally hold you in his arms again, breathing in the familiar scent of your hair. “I missed you more”, he whispered against your ear, hugging you tightly against his chest. “It’s our day off tomorrow, and we’re doing on a date”, He exclaimed brightly, looking into your glistening eyes. “Jeongmal?” You pulled yourself out of his embrace, not being able to control the building excitement of spending a whole day with him. He nodded with a wide smile, waving a pair of tickets to lotte world in the air. You bounced cutely on the bed, pumping your fists in the air victoriously. As he laughed at your adorable actions, you attacked him with kisses, too excited at the prospect of going on a date. “Alright alright. We’d better try and get some sleep... It’s going to be long day tomorrow”, Min Hyuk slid his arms under your waist and your knees, lifting you up bridal style.  “I’m not going to be able to fall asleep now... I’m too excited for tomorrow”, you whined with a angelic smile. Slowly, Min Hyuk laid you down on the bed gently, his lips tilting in a smirk. “Will it help if I stay here?” He whispered softly, eyes curling up in crescents. Ignoring the pink blush creeping up your cheeks, he switched the lights off before crawling into bed beside you. In the dark, you smiled to yourself when you felt him covering you with the thick blanket, tucking you in gently. “Good night jagiya”, he whispered before planting a kiss on your forehead. Reaching for his hand, you smiled as both your fingers intertwined, your fingers fitting perfecting in the spaces of his hands. “Good night oppa”, you whispered, squeezing his hand a last time before the both of you drifted off to sleep. Sleep came easy that night, knowing that he was just an arm’s reach away from you. At least for tonight, he wasn’t going anywhere.

“Jagiyaaa let’s go on that”, Min Hyuk exclaimed excitedly as he pointed at the intimidating looking Viking, his lips tilted in one of the biggest smiles you had ever seen. Despite your fear of rides, you chuckled at his cute actions. “Oppa. You’re like a little boy”, you teased, watching him pout before he towed you towards the huge ship. The both of you were spending a day together at Lotte World. Dressed in matching baseball shirts, the both of you made the cutest pair. Min Hyuk was disguised by a black cap which he pulled as low as he could, letting its tongue hide his distinct features. Although BTOB were still rookies, you couldn’t help but be anxious about someone recognising him. You didn’t have to worry though... To the rest of the world, the both of you looked like just another typical young couple, naive and love struck. You swallowed loudly, watching the ship swing to almost unimaginable heights, the loud screams of the passengers on board drowning out your thoughts.
“Is my jagiya scared?” Min Hyuk smirked slightly. “No!” You shot back, putting on a brave front. “You know you can always hold my hand right?” He added mischievously, the smirk on his face deepening. “No thanks”, you muttered, slapping his hand away playfully. It was silly, but you didn’t want to appear too afraid in front of Min Hyuk. After all, he was a total adrenaline junkie and wasn’t the least bit afraid of roller coasters. As the both of you advanced through the queue, your heart started to beat rapidly, your stomach lunging with every step. When it was your turn, Min Hyuk grabbed your hand and immediately made a beeline for the highest seat. “Come on! We have to sit at the last seat! It’ll go the highest”, he urged excitedly, pulling you towards the back row before you even had a chance to protest. “I am so going to regret this”, you muttered under your breath, cowering slightly as the ship started to rock. As the boat started to pick up its speed, it swung like a pendulum, each movement sending the ship up to greater heights. “ahhhhhhhhh”, you couldn’t help but scream as you squeezed your eyes shut, ignoring the building fear in the pits of your stomach. Suddenly, you felt a hand rest over your palms that were firmly planted on the metal bar. You pried your watery eyes open to see Min Hyuk shooting you a gentle, reassuring smile. He wrapped his left hand around your back, pulling you closer to him whilst his right hand continued to hold yours tightly. Soon, the ride came to an end as the ship slowly made its way back to ground level. You couldn’t wait to get off the damned ship. Taking a step back onto stationary land, your legs suddenly went weak, causing you to almost lose your balance. Min Hyuk quickly caught you though, his arm snaking around your waist to steady you. “Oppa.... I admit it... I’m afraid of rides”, you whined dejectedly, burying your head in his shoulder. He ruffled your hair with a big smile, almost doubling over in laughter. “I know pabo ah... You thought you could hide it from me didn’t you? It’s alright Mi Young ah~ that’ll give me the perfect excuse to hold your hand throughout today”, Min Hyuk whispered with a wink, sending your heart racing. A blush crept up your cheeks and you coughed at his cheesiness. “Come on... I’ll let you choose the next ride. What do you want to go on?” He smiled whilst patting your head gently. A similar smile crept on your face. “Something harmless, slow moving and on ground level”, you chanted in resignation before pointing at the Tea Cups. “Anything for my Jagiya”, He exclaimed, planting his hands firmly on your shoulders and pushing you towards the ride. “You sure about this oppa? Wouldn’t you rather go on a rollercoaster? It’s your day off after all, I want you to enjoy yourself”, you rambled on, lowering your head sadly. Slipping a finger under your chin, he raised your head till your eyes met. “I am enjoying myself. It doesn’t matter what rides we go on jagiya, as long as we’re together. I’m the happiest when I’m with you”, he whispered reassuringly before pulling you towards the spinning tea cups.

Seated strategically opposite each other, the both of you sat as upright as possible, planting both your hands firmly on the round steering disc in the middle of the cup. “Ready?” You asked with a cheeky grin. “GO!” Min Hyuk exclaimed just as the buzzer went off. The both of you immediately started to turn the disc rapidly, making the cup spin with vigour. Amidst the dizzying speed of the cups were the myriads of laughter, from both Min Hyuk and you, who were exhilarated by the simplistic ride. When the cup reached its maximum speed, the force at which it was spinning around was enough to send you slipping towards Min Hyuk. Soon the both of you were sitting beside each other, doubled over in happy shrieks of laughter.

“Omo. Oppa! Isn’t that Sung Jae?” You suddenly noticed a couple walking by the Tea Cups and heading towards the Carousel. Min Hyuk whipped his head around, trying his best to locate the couple amongst the disorientating chaos, his limbs flailing uncontrollably. You laughed at his clumsy demeanour, before pointing him in the right direction. “You’re right! I recognise that ripped cardigan. He seems to be wearing it really often nowadays”, Min Hyuk exclaimed. “Wait, who’s that girl that’s with him”, He added curiously, as you strained your eyes to catch a glimpse of the couple that was now walking away. “Sung Yeong?!” You exclaimed, recognising the stature of your God-sister. “They’re on a date?” Min Hyuk smirked, his eyes twinkling mischievously. That was how the both of you found yourself trailing the oblivious couple, stumbling through the crowd with unsteady footsteps, a result of simply too much spinning. “So that’s why Sung Jae was in a rush to leave this morning”, Min Hyuk teased. “Wow. I have to admit, that maknae moves really quickly. He really listened when I told him to step up his game”, you giggled at the couple in front of you. “So you’re some sort of love guru now?” You pouted at the boy beside you before punching his shoulder gently. Sung Jae and Sung Yeong were both queuing up for the carousel. You watched intently as the younger boy treated her attentively, his face lighting up with blissful smiles. Sung Yeong looked almost more beautiful than usual, basking in the affection the younger boy was showering on her. “Come on oppa, I think we should leave them alone”, you said with a small smile before slipping your arm through the nook of his arm. Min Hyuk nodded in agreement before the both of you headed towards the merchandise store beside the carousel.

The array of adorable merchandise greeted you, painting a smile on your pale face. The store was pretty empty, and you figured people would rather spend their time on multiple rides than sifting through cheesy stores of merchandise.  “Jagiya”, Min Hyuk called sweetly before slipping on a headband of Minnie mouse ears over your head. Catching a glimpse of your reflection in the mirror, you burst out in laughter. “I look weird”, you whined, ignoring Min Hyuk’s smug expression. You swiftly reached for a pair of Micky mouse ears, holding them up to Min Hyuk with a pout. He chuckled, before taking off his cap and letting you gently slip on the headband. “Now we really match”, you said with a satisfied smile, feeling happiness bubble up within you.  That happiness was short-lived when you caught a glimpse of a couple of high school girls loitering outside the merchandise shop, talking in hushed whispers and staring unabashedly at the boy beside you. “Oppa... I think some of your fans recognised you”, you whispered urgently to him before reaching upwards to take the hair band off your head. “Crap”, Min Hyuk muttered under his breath, pulling his cap back on his head, masking his features in the shadow of the cap’s tongue. The both of you were deciding between making a run for it, or to continue acting like a couple in hopes of throwing them off. Thank goodness, the group of girls seemed to think that they had recognised the wrong person and reluctantly left the shop. Both you and Min hyuk let out a sigh of relief, not even wanting to think of the consequences of getting caught. “We’d better go oppa”, you whispered urgently, tugging on his sleeve. “We’re not leaving till we get one of these”, he stopped you with a smile before picking up the matching couple headbands and heading towards the counter. Despite the scare from earlier, you couldn’t help but smile at his thoughtful actions. After paying for the items, the both of you smiled secretly upon overhearing the cashier behind the counter swoon at the both of you. “What a sweet couple”, she had exclaimed to her friend a little too loudly.

The lights in the indoor theme park of Lotte World had started to dim, creating a whimsical night atmosphere. As the both of you took a leisurely walk around the magical ice ring, you couldn’t help but think of the earlier events. As if hearing your pessimistic thoughts, Min Hyuk reached for your hand, slipping his fingers through yours. Giving you a gentle squeeze, he smiled at you knowingly and you reciprocated with a nod of your head. For a while, you felt like just another one of those normal couples who went on dates, wore matching couple shirts, and dated without having to worry about anyone opposing their relationship. If Min Hyuk weren’t an idol, the both of you would be able to live without fear of others finding out about your relationship. You quickly brushed that thought away with a wistful smile. Min Hyuk wouldn’t be the min hyuk you had grown to love whole heartedly, if he didn’t have his ambitions. He wouldn’t be the same boy who had comforted you with his music when you couldn’t sleep. Even before you had realised your true feelings for him, it was his passion and talent for music that brought the both of you closer together. For now, you would do anything to help him guard that dream of his. Even if it meant enduring all the obstacles in your relationship.

“What are you thinking about?” He asked quietly, reading your conflicted expression. “Nothing”, you replied a little too quickly. Judging from the crease that formed on his forehead, he didn’t believe you one bit. However, he bit his lip, refraining from probing further into your faraway thoughts. Suddenly another group of high school girls walked past the both of you, their voices mixed in shrieks of excitement. Quickly, you pulled your hand away from Min Hyuk’s grip, tucking it firmly in the pocket of your shorts. When the group of students had finally passed by, Min Hyuk reached into your pocket, pulling your hand out and clutching onto it tightly. Trying to pull it away again, your efforts were to no avail as Min Hyuk merely squeezed your intertwined hands tightly before tucking it into his jacket pocket. You let out a sigh of defeat. “What if your fans see us?” You whispered softly, eyes glistening slightly. “Then let them see us. Let them see us loving each other. If they are my true fans, they would treasure what’s important to me. We shouldn’t have to hide this jagiya. As much as I try, I would never be able to hide the love I have for you”, he confessed softly, voice straining with emotions. His unreadable gaze softened as a smile slowly returned to his face, lighting up his handsome features. You let your fingers tighten around his, a single gesture enough to signify that you had understood. This Love was the only thing, the only piece of persuasion present. One day, you knew that this love would be enough, enough to convince the others’ that the both of you truly belonged together.
