"felix can you please concentrate?"
the idol startles at the comment, looking up from his phone to see the boys staring at him expectantly.
"oh, right," he sheepishly mumbles, placing his phone up side down reluctantly as chan goes back to briefing them on the likely plans of their latest comeback. but felix's heart wasn't in it.
he couldn't help himself when his right leg started bouncing unconsciously and he chewed at the inside of his cheek.
why hadn't you acknowledged the flowers he had sent over to your place over an hour ago? he knew the florist was only a 5 minutes drive from your place, so there was no way you hadn't received them yet.
felix was in love with you, and everyone seemed to know it except for you. but in your defense, he'd never tried to explicitly make a move. he instead resorted to sending you flowers everyday. every evening when you reached home from work, there would be a bouquet of the most beautiful flowers you had ever seen waiting for you at your doorstep. everyday was a new flower with their meaning attached and signed by 'your secret admirer'.
it was adorable and the most touching gesture someone had done for you in a while, and you would thank the sender everyday by storying the flowers or tweeting about them. felix had been waiting for this acknowledgement for the past half an hour, thumb growing sore as he refreshed his notifications every two seconds.
did you not like the flowers he sent this time? were you okay? did you reach home safe?
"felix, if you really want to know if y/n received the flowers or not, just text them about it?"
felix startled for what seemed like the 100th time that day, meeting hyunjin's eyes defiantly.
"if i do that, then they would know i sent it to them."
"isn't that the whole point?"
"no."
all 7 of them collectively let out a sigh. this had been going on for months.
chan understood felix's plight, though. he'd been in a similar position himself.
the elder shook his head, subtly pulling out his own phone and typing in a quick message to you.
[ chan ] hi yn :)) which flower did your secret admirer send this time?
it was an innocent question, since you usually updated chan about the flowers first.
you immediately read his message, but when you didn't reply chan furrowed his brows.
but the next second felix jumped up from his chair, a giddy smile pulling at his lips and scaring han half out of his mind.
"they tweeted about it!! they said they loved them and it made their day better."
what felix failed to notice was the little sun emoji you had used when you tweeted about the flowers; an emoji you explicitly used only when talking about or to felix.
oh, so you knew.
how you knew, they weren't sure, but the boys did not have the heart to tell felix that for all his efforts, turns out he hadn't been subtle at all.
"Oppa, what's wrong?" You question as your boyfriend walks in through the door of your shared apartment.
His head hangs low, dejected as he kicks off his shoes and joins you on the couch.
"Nothing," He mumbles as he throws his head back on the couch.
In all your years of dating him, you've never seen his confidence so low. Not even after his performance at the Blue Dragon Film Awards and everyone was clowning him. Not after his 2019 MAMA performance. And especially not after his TikTok challenges had gone viral for all the wrong reasons.
"Jinnie Oppa, I don't like it when you lie to me. Something's bothering you." You drop your phone beside you on the couch and begin comforting him by stroking his arm.
He rolls his head towards you, finally making eye contact with you for the first time since he came home. There's a twinkle in his eye that you've grown to love. Hell, it was the first thing you noticed about him. No matter how happy he is, his eyes will always sparkle like a diamond in the sky. He's not smiling now but somehow, you know that you're the reason why his diamonds are shining so bright.
He mirrors your position. His elbow rests on the back of the couch while his head sits in his hand. One leg is on the floor while the other one is tucked under him. Your knees touching. It's a simple touch, not even your skin is touching, yet it's enough to make your heart race.
"It's just," He lets out a deep sigh before sitting up properly. "I was at the company earlier and overheard some of the kids talking about me. Stray Kids specifically had a lot to say...That Seungmin...I know I play it off as some cool hyung who can tolerate what my idols do or say, but I'm still a person after all. It hurts."
"Oh, jagi, I'm sorry," You take the hand that's resting on his lap with your free hand, your thumb gently stroking the back of his hand. "My generation is just a bit different...we bully people out of love. They just love you so much, I'm pretty sure Seungmin loves you the most, the way he talks about you nonstop. Just look at how Stray Kids treat Chan. You know they don't hate him."
"I know but it's different. I'm their boss. Maybe they're right, I should retire..." His bottom lip sticks out slightly as he lets out a little huff of air from his nose.
"Ah, Jin-Young oppa, you're not that old. You're not even pushing 60 yet. And, the age system changed so you're actually younger than you were last year. I even heard they're saying that 52 is the new 30." You squeeze his hand, reassuring him.
"You're just saying that to make me feel better."
You quickly drop his hand and sit up a bit straighter. Before he can question your reaction, you position your other leg on the couch so you're sitting on both of them and cup his face in your hands. You stare deeply into his dark brown orbs. He furrows his eyebrows at you as you stroke his cheeks with the pads of your thumbs. His mouth slightly parts, ready to question you but you swiftly shut him up by crashing your lips into his. His lips are soft, you can feel the remnants of his chapstick transferring onto your lip. Strawberry, your favorite. You pull away slowly, still cupping his face. His eyes slowly flutter open, his eyes red as a single tear drop rolls down his face. "Park Jin-Young oppa, you shouldn't worry about what everyone else has to say about you. I love you and that's all that should matter."
"God, I love you Y/n, I don't deserve you," He whispers, his voice cracking as more tears form in his eyes.
"I love you too JYP oppa,"

Permanent Taglist (closed)
Red means that it wouldn't let me tag you (either at all or properly)
Changbin: For the last time, you’re not good enough for my brothers, I don't wanna see you around them anymore
JYP: *standing at the door with a ukulele* So why don't you give me one more-
Changbin: *slams door*

"are you absolutely sure the sneakers go well with these pants?"
"yes."
"like one hundred percent? because i'm meeting y/n today and-"
"yes, jeongin. they match. perfectly."
jeongin groans as seungmin cuts him off mid-sentence, hesitantly checking out his outfit in the mirror.
"what if y/n doesn't like it?"
"when have they ever disliked anything that you wear?"
seungmin had a point, so jeongin shuts up. momentarily, of course.
"what about the sweater? should i wear it or-"
"it's literally sweltering outside and you're asking me if you should wear a sweater?"
"yes because it matches y/n's cardigan!"
it's seungmin's turn to groan as he finally sets down his phone and turns to look at the younger boy properly.
"matching outfits with y/n is a terrible way to tell them that you're in love with them."
"i am not-"
"please. don't even finish that."
jeongin scoffs, pulling out his phone to see the picture you had posted.
this had become a daily routine not just for him but the rest of his members too.
everyday you would post your ootd and jeongin would be one of the first few to view it, immediately hunting through his wardrobe for something that would match yours.
it was childish of him, really. he was aware of that much too. but he enjoyed it so much.
even though it was far from a coincidence that his outfit almost always matched yours, it never failed to bring a smile on your face and jeongin loved it. he supposed it had something to do with how it played into his fantasy that maybe someday he would gather enough courage to ask you out and you would say yes.
"hyung are you sure that this shade of blue isn't too light?"
"yes. now will you please stop fussing over this."
"but-"
"jeongin, you're already 10 minutes late. you're supposed to be picking up y/n in 20."
that jars the boy into reality as he hastily gathers his phone and car keys, shouting a thanks over his shoulder as he rushes out their shared dorm.
seungmin sighs as he picks his phone up again, scrolling to your contact and typing in a quick message.
[ seungminnie ] do us all a favor and acknowledge jeongin's outfit today please?
[ you ] of course :)
[ seungminnie ] and maybe acknowledge his big fat crush on you too because he never will
[ you ] no guarantee <3
seungmin huffs.
it had been months and it seemed like just about everyone knew about jeongin's crush on you. heck, even you were aware of it.
but nobody could ever convince the boy to confess, and you enjoyed flustering him too much to admit it yourself. so until one of you decided to be mature about it, everyone was going to be stuck seeing jeongin match outfits with you everyday and try to be as subtle about it as possible.

Rock-star was a really good album, but we moved on from 5-star way too fast. Those songs were ICONIC. Superbowl? Hall of Fame? TOPLINE?! They should have been promoted wayyyy more in my opinion. There should have been 5-star stages for more songs than just S-Class.
