When you try.

You were currently jumping up, trying to touch the top of the kitchen door frame. According to the internet, it was a way to grow taller. You were determined to gain a few inches, no matter how silly it might seem. Just as you were getting into a rhythm, you heard a familiar voice.


"What are you doing?"


Startled, you missed your landing and fell on your butt. Heeseung burst into laughter, rushing over to help you up. "Are you okay?" he asked, still chuckling.


You swatted his arm playfully. "Don't scare me like that!"


He grinned, his eyes twinkling with amusement. "Seriously though, what were you doing?"


You shook your head, trying to dismiss it. "It's nothing."


Heeseung crossed his arms, raising an eyebrow. "Jumping up and down in the kitchen is nothing? That's normal behavior now?"


You quickly scrambled for an excuse. "Uh, there was a bug! I was trying to kill it."


His smirk grew wider. "Really? You, trying to kill a bug? You always scream for me when you see one."


You pouted, thinking of another excuse, but Heeseung cut you off with a laugh. "Come on, don't make another excuse. Just tell me."


Feeling embarrassed, you mumbled, "I wanted to get taller."


Heeseung's eyes sparkled with mischief as he tried to hold back his laughter. You watched his struggle, feeling a mix of frustration and amusement. "You're trying to grow taller by jumping?"


You slumped your shoulders and started to walk past him. "Forget it."


He reached out and gently grabbed your arm, turning you back to face him. "Hey, wait a second."


You looked up at him, your pout deepening. "It's not funny."


Heeseung smiled warmly, brushing a stray hair from your face. "I'm not laughing at you, I promise. It's just... you don't need to be taller to be amazing. You're perfect just the way you are."


You whined, feeling self-conscious. "But we look like Tom and Jerry when we're together."Heeseung's grin widened. "Then you're the cutest mouse ever."


You pouted even more, your frustration evident. "I don't like being this short. It's hopeless. I'll stay short forever."


Heeseung's expression softened as he pulled you into a gentle hug. "Hey, there's nothing hopeless about you. You're perfect just the way you are, and I wouldn't change a thing. Besides, I kind of like having you at this height. It makes it easier to do this." He leaned down and planted a soft kiss on your forehead.


Your pout slowly turned into a small smile as you hugged him back. "Thanks, Heeseung."
