Evermore Imagines

Unspoken feelings bloom - SF9

A/N: Your professional journey is meant to change, Virgo. Taking action will open unexpected doors when Mars in Taurus conjuncts Uranus in Taurus on Monday, July 15. Surprise! Your hard work will pay off in unexpected ways. You may have a chance to travel or work under a new mentor during this time. There could even be a different professional trajectory available to you. Be open to taking the road less traveled when it comes to your professional journey.

Since so much could change, you may need to work on adopting a more positive mindset as the pre-shadow period for the next Mercury retrograde begins the following day. Use this period to overcome any fears or worries so that you are not overly stressed during the retrograde. Later in the workweek, you may notice that a secret commitment could change your finances for the better as Venus in Leo trines the North Node in Aries and sextiles the South Node in Libra. The fateful aspect will encourage you to have faith that your plans will work out. You could even feel inclined to debut the project you have been working on when Mars enters Gemini on Saturday, July 20.

My heart thumped a chaotic rhthym agaisnt my ribs as she rounded the corner, the familiar sight of the SF9 practice room coming into view. It wasn't just abyt opractice session though. Today was the day they were filminh the group dance practice video for their upcoming comeback, and I, as their unoffcial hypewoman and resident cheorgrapher in their freidn group, had weaseled my way into being present. 

The music trummed through the door, base vibrating in my chest. Pushing open the door, I was met with a whirlwind oif movement and laughter. SF9, clad in blackj practice glear, moived in perfect sync, their practiced ease belying the hours of sweat and dedication poured into their routines. My gaze, however, immedaitely darted to Inseong, his blonde hair catching the light as he spun, a wide grin slitting my face. 

Our eyes met, and a secret smile played on my lips. Inseong, ever the performer, winked at me, a playful glint in his eyes before seamlessly dicing back into the cheorgraphy. I couldn't help but laugh, the warmth in my chest blooming. 

It had been like this for years. Me and SF9 has been best friends since our trainee days, a ragtag bunch united by our shared love for music and dance. Inseong, though, had always held a special place in my heart. There was a certain ease in our interactions, a shared understanding that went beyond words. 

Over the years, the line between friendship and something more had blurred for me. Every stolen glance acrosss a crowded room, ever late-night conversation that stretched into the early hours, sent my heart fluttering. Yet, I never dared to voice my feelings, terrifed of jeopardizing my bond. 

Today, however, something felt different. The air crackled with a unspoken energy as our eyes met across the room. As the practice session ended, I found myself lingering by the doorway, stealing glances at Inseong as he stretched, his muscles taut beneath his sweat-dampened shirt. 

"You're coming out for dinner?" Rowoon's voice starled me, his usual goofy grin replaced by a knowing look. I flushed, stammering a reply. The truth was, I didn't care about dinner. All I wanted was to be along with Inseong, to finally voice what had been churning in my heart for so long. 

As if sensing my turmoil, Inseong beside me. "We can grab somne bubble tea after if you want," he offered casually, his voice a low rumble that sent shivers kdown her spine. 

My heart leaped. Was this my chance? Taking a deep breath, I blurted out, "Actually, there's something I need to tell you." The words hung heavy in the air, and for a moment, the only sound was the faint hum of the air conditionr. Inseong's gaze softenedm his eyews searching mine. 

A beat of silence stretched between us, think with unspoken emotions. Then, a slow smile spread across Inseong's face, mirroring the one blooming on mine. "Me too," he replied, his voice barely a whisper. 

My cheeks burned, Inseong too? Could this be really happening? But before I could respond, Jaeyoon bounded over, phone clutched in his hand. 

"Guys, there's a new bubble tea shop that just opened down the streeth! We gotta try it," he declared, his enthusiasm infectious. 

The rest of the SF9 chimed in, their tiredness forgotten in the face of potential new boba. IK stole a glance at Inseong, q question lingering in my eyes. He chuckled, a hint of nervousness in his own smile. 

"How about we get bubble tea and then you tell me what you want to say?", he suggested, his voice barely above a mumur. 

My heart hammerted a payy rhtym against my ribs. "Okay." I whispered back, a smile splitting mu face. Maybe dinner could wait. This unexpected turn of events was even sweeter. 

The walk to the bubble tea shop was a blur of a nervousness excitement. We exchanged stolen glances, the weight of our earlier exchange hanging heavy. The new shop bustled, and as we waited for our drinks, I confessed my feelings, my voice barely a whisper. 

Surprise flickered in Inseong's eyes, then softened with a tenderness that sent my heart soaring. He started to repky, but a high-pitched squeal cut him short. Fans swarmed us, bobarding SF9 for selfies. Inseong handled it with a smile, his genuine warmth radiating. 

Once the chaos subsided, our drinks were ready. DAisappointment gnawed at me, but the secret hanging in the air made the walk back different. A charged silence, filled with unspoken possiblites. 

Reaching the dorms, Inseong, stopped. ""Thanks for coming." He leaned in, brushing his lips against my cheek, sending a jolt through me. "We'll talk soon, okay?" He mumured before disappearing inside. 

I stood there, heart poundin, a smile on my face. The night might not have gone exactly as planned, but trhat kiss had ignoted a spark of hope. Maybe just maybe, our friendship was on the cusp of something more.
