jiae typed her code into the panel attached to her doorknob and shoved into it with her shoulder.

her friends had treated her to dinner, catching her in the parking lot without giving her a chance to change out of her work clothes. despite that, jiae really did have a good time.

sosuke dropped her off, and she sat in front of her building for a few minutes to call her aunt and thank her for the birthday messages.

kicking her shoes off, jiae flicked the light switch and gasped.

her entire living room, kitchen, and everything in between was pink. bright pink balloons floated along the ceiling, shimmering pink streamers and confetti littered every surface, giving everything a faint strawberry-colored glow.

jiae slowly spun as she observed her apartment, her jaw still hanging open from the moment she turned on the lights. there were dozens, dozens of perfect bouquets full of flowers every shade of pink jiae could possibly imagine. their lovely, sweet scents hung in the air.

she knew in her heart who all of this was from, but a thick, unfamiliar book propped on her coffee table confirmed it. a chuckle slipped past her wildly grinning lips when she spotted a few new cookbooks, but what really had her speechless was the book.

it was unlabeled and a bit boring at first glance, but when she flipped the cover open, jiae could not stop her laughter from filling the room. she continued flipping through, confirming that it was, in fact, an album full of every single haechan photo card known to man.

not only that, but in the last available spot, was a card with her face on it. how he'd managed it, jiae didn't know. she wasn't sure if it was a selfie she'd sent to him or one pulled from her instagram, but when she carefully removed it from the book and flipped it over, jiae beamed at the happy birthday message written there.

happy birthday jerry ji, or pinkie pie, or whatever you're going by these days. thank you for making me smile every day.
signed, your favorite person ever

hyeyeong

hyeyeong

ASK ABOUT THAT

hyeyeong

jiae
NO?????

hyeyeong
oh okay you're not delusional

hyeyeong
HES delusional

jiae
dude i'm not

jiae
i

jiae
hyeeeeeeEEEEKSJDJ

jiae
WHAT DO J DO

jiae
i see his name pop up on my screen
and my heart goes 💓💓💓💓

jiae
AND THEN HE PULLS THAT

jiae
LIKE WHAT

hyeyeong
did you like it?

jiae
I LOVED IT

jiae
no one has done anything like that
for me since before my parents split

jiae
and that delusional part of me is like
no dude in his right mind would go
through all that effort for someone he's
not crushing on right? but he's an idol
like he may do this for all his friends??

hyeyeong
jiae i have been friends with him
for a while now and last year he got
me a water bottle for my birthday

jiae
lol

jiae
wait THEN WHAT DOES
THAT MEANNN

jiae
he can't have a crush on me

jiae
no, i can't have a crush on HIM

hyeyeong
why not?

jiae
???????

jiae
weren't you against me talking
to him at all like a month ago

hyeyeong
that was before i spent hours decorating
your apartment on his behalf

jiae
NO

jiae
I NEED YOU TO BE THE
VOICE OF REASON

jiae
TALK ME OUT OF THIS

hyeyeong
jiae

jiae
DONT SAY IT

jiae
SAYING IT MAKES IT REAL

hyeyeong
i think he likes you

jiae
FUCK

jiae
I LIKE HIM SO MUCH

jiae
this is so unfair what the fuck

jiae
i don't like idol haechan i like HIM.

jiae
he's so much more than a performer
hye like he genuinely brightens my
entire day just by talking with me about
dumb stuff like movies and melon bars

jiae
but that idol part of him isn't
going anywhere so UGH

hyeyeong
i'm sorry babe

hyeyeong
i wish i could give you better advice
but i'm also not going to lie to you
and say everything will be sunshine
and rainbows

hyeyeong
if you like him, you should tell him

jiae
i don't want him to think i'm trying
to use his friendship or take advantage
of what we have

jiae
and the timing sucks. i've liked him
for a while, but now he's done this
huge gesture for me, and i don't want
to confess to him right after. it looks bad

hyeyeong
jiae he's not going to think that

hyeyeong
how many times have you gushed about
how well you two get each other? he isn't
going to throw that away, i promise you

jiae
but what if he does? what if he has to?

hyeyeong
do you know how many idols
are dating right now? a lot

hyeyeong
i'm not saying this to push you into
anything, but being with him wouldn't
be as bad as you think

jiae
it's not me i'm worried about. i don't
care about sneaking around or waiting
months on end to see him in person

jiae
if anyone were to find out,
his image would be ruined

jiae
i couldn't live with myself if
that was because of me

hyeyeong
:(

hyeyeong
have you tried talking to him?

jiae
i know what he's going to say

jiae
if he likes me back, he'll say he doesn't
care or that we'll be careful, and i'll believe
him, and then something will happen and
he'll tell me everything is okay but on the
inside he will resent me

hyeyeong
jiae, haechan adores you too
much to ever resent you

jiae
i'm so scared

jiae
what if i lose him?

jiae
the thought makes me physically ill
like i never expected to care this much
for someone i've only seen twice

hyeyeong
you feel things so big, ji, and i
love you for that. i don't want you
to let this fear hold you back

hyeyeong
i know it doesn't help any, but
i'm rooting for you two

jiae
thanks hye

jiae
idk. i'll just take it slow??

hyeyeong
you should talk to him

jiae
i know

jiae
i will
