It was a typical afternoon at the practice room, the air filled with the sounds of music, chatter, and the occasional laughter. You and the boys were taking a well-deserved break, scattered around the room, some resting while others were immersed in their phones.
You had recently come across a TikTok trend where people asked their significant others to peel an orange for them, a small act that often led to heartwarming or funny reactions. Curious and playful, you decided to try it out on your boyfriend, Lee Know, who, despite his tough exterior, had a caring side that he rarely showed openly.
Sitting across from him, you gave him your best pleading look. "Minho, could you peel an orange for me?"
He looked up from his phone, eyebrows raised in mild surprise. "Why can't you peel it yourself?" he asked, his tone half-serious.
"I just... I want you to do it for me," you said, smiling sweetly. "Please?"
Lee Know's eyes darted around the room, noticing the other members watching with interest. He sighed, clearly uncomfortable with the attention. "No," he replied curtly, standing up. "Peel your own orange."
With that, he left the room, leaving you feeling slightly deflated. You shrugged it off, understanding his reluctance to show affection in front of everyone. The other members teased you gently about it, making jokes about Lee Know's tough demeanor.
A few minutes passed, and you tried to focus on your phone, pushing the small disappointment to the back of your mind. Just as you were about to get up and find something else to do, you heard footsteps approaching. Looking up, you saw Lee Know standing there, holding something behind his back.
His expression was still neutral, but there was a slight softness in his eyes that you hadn't noticed before. Without a word, he revealed a plate with an orange on it, now perfectly peeled and sliced, and handed it to you.
"Here," he said simply, his voice low but warm. "Just don't make a big deal out of it."
Surprised and touched, you accepted the orange, a smile spreading across your face. "Thank you, Minho," you said softly, appreciating the gesture more than you could express.
The other members watched the exchange with interest, their teasing comments dying down as they saw the genuine moment between you two. Lee Know gave them a warning glance, daring them to say anything, before sitting back down in his spot.
As you bit into the orange, the sweetness of the fruit mixed with the warmth you felt from Minho's unexpected act of kindness, made you feel warm. You caught his eye and mouthed a silent "thank you" once more, to which he responded with a subtle nod and a faint smile.
Later, when you were alone together in the practice room, Minho wrapped his arms around you from behind, resting his chin on your shoulder. "You know, you can always ask me if you need help with something," he murmured, his breath warm against your ear.
You leaned into his embrace, feeling the solid comfort of his presence. "I know. I wanted to see if you'd do it," you admitted with a chuckle. "Thank you for being sweet."
Minho sighed, but you could hear the smile in his voice. "You're impossible, you know that?"
You turned in his arms to face him, wrapping your arms around his neck. "But you love me anyway."
He leaned down, pressing a gentle kiss to your forehead. "Yeah, I do. Just... maybe next time, give me a little warning before you make me peel an orange for you in front of everyone."
