OFF MY FACE. ✔️

"Cus I'm off my face— so into you..."

Heeseung abruptly stopped singing.

Jay, who was playing the guitar, looked up in confusion and stopped playing.
"Hyung? You good? Ah, do you need a break from the singing? I get it," Jay spoke, assuming Heeseung was exhausted from who knows how many tries at the song.

Each take was perfect, yet every single time Heeseung would tell Jay he wasn't satisfied or something was missing.

"Jongseong-ah, do you ever sing a love song and yet feel so empty? Like you aren't really... delving into the meaning?" Heeseung asked after a moment of silence.

Jay stared at him.

"Is that why you aren't satisfied with each take? And no, I don't feel that way anymore," Jay replied, smiling softly toward the end of his sentence.

"Anymore?"

"Whenever I'd sing a love song, I'd get frustrated because it just didn't make sense in a way. However, ever since I started dating Jungwon, everything started to piece together. Now whenever I sing love songs, I don't think about how bare it feels, but I think of Jungwon."

Silence fell.

"If this is about your stalled confession to Y/N, you better hurry. That lonely feeling will only get worse," Jay said, breaking the silence.

Heeseung looked down, then locked eyes with Jay once again.

"Thank you, Jongseong-ah."

"Anytime, hyung."

—

Heeseung ran 6 houses down to knock on his crush's door.

Panting, he was about to knock when someone opened the door.
He fell forward, but the person caught him.

"Heeseung-ssi?! It's 9pm, what are you doing here so late? Well, not that late, but—"
Y/N was cut off with a warm feeling to her lips.

Heeseung was kissing her.

In shock, Y/N froze for a second, then closed her eyes and kissed back.

After a minute of love, Heeseung pulled away and grinned.

"What was that?" Y/N asked.

Heeseung could only smile.

"One more thing..." Heeseung replied, whipping out his guitar.
Y/N didn't even notice Hee was holding a guitar due to whatever just happened.

Heeseung played and sang Off My Face, kneeling on one knee.
Y/N could feel tears form in her eyes.

"Cus' I'm off my face— in love with you
I'm off my head— so into you~
And I don't know how you do it
But I'm forever ruined by you..."

"Y/N-ah, will you be my girlfriend?"

Y/N couldn't form any words, so she leaped into Heeseung's arms after he set his guitar down.

"Ooh, ooh, ooh~" he sang, finishing the lyrics in his heavenly falsetto which tickled her ear.

    They stayed locked together, each of them wanting to cherish the romantic quietude that settled around the new pair.

   "That was so random. I was about to go to the cafe, and you come to my doorstep, kiss me, and sing a song on your knees," Y/N whispered while still embracing him, and giggled.

    "Is that a complaint?" Heeseung asked, chuckling at Y/N.

    "Nope,

    Not at all."

—

Now whenever Heeseung sang, whether it be a Bieber or Swift song, the only thing that would pop up in his mind was his Y/N.

Y/N was the thing he was missing, and now that they had each other, every single moment Heeseung found dull would be engulfed with his love for Y/N.

END.
