It started as a simple crush—one glance at Sunoo's radiant smile during psychology class was all it took for Lee Heeseung to lose himself. Sunoo wasn’t just beautiful; he was insightful, kind, and always humming softly as he walked to class. So, when Heeseung overheard Sunoo casually mentioning things he liked, he decided to make them happen.
Of course, being a secret admirer wasn’t easy, especially with his friends constantly teasing him about it.
“Another bouquet?” Jake asked, raising an eyebrow as Heeseung delicately placed a vibrant mix of sunflowers and daisies into a paper bag. “What is this, your fifth one this week?”
“Fourth,” Jungwon corrected, smirking. “He’s pacing himself. Right, Heeseung?”
Heeseung rolled his eyes but couldn’t hide the faint blush creeping up his neck. “Sunoo likes flowers. What’s wrong with making his day brighter?”
Jay chuckled, nudging him. “There’s nothing wrong, Romeo. Just tell him already.”
“Not yet,” Heeseung muttered, carefully tucking a handwritten note into the bouquet.
Sunoo walked into his psychology class, his eyes lighting up when he saw the bouquet waiting at his usual seat. He glanced around but found no one suspicious. Picking up the note, he smiled softly.
"May your day be as bright as these flowers."
“Another gift, huh?” his classmate nudged him.
Sunoo chuckled, brushing his fingers over the petals. “Whoever it is, they have good taste.”
Across the room, Heeseung hid behind his notebook, trying not to grin too widely.
The next wish came after Heeseung overheard Sunoo mentioning his favorite dessert while talking with his friends.
“Mint choco, really?” Jay teased as Heeseung carried a small box of ice cream to the campus café.
“It’s not about what I like; it’s about what he likes,” Heeseung shot back, carefully slipping a spoon and another note into the box.
That afternoon, Sunoo found the mint choco ice cream on the table he frequented during study breaks. He couldn’t stop laughing at the note: "For your sweet tooth and cool heart."
“Donuts? Seriously?” Jake snorted as he helped Heeseung carry a box of assorted flavors. “At this point, you’re just feeding him every day.”
“Exactly,” Jungwon added. “He’s going to think you’re his personal snack fairy.”
“Let them tease,” Jay said, smirking at Heeseung. “At least you’re actually doing something about your crush.”
The donuts arrived at Sunoo’s dorm with a simple note: "Donut forget to smile today!" Sunoo’s friends teased him endlessly about his growing collection of secret admirer gifts.
“I wonder who it is,” Sunoo murmured, holding up the chocolate-glazed donut.
When Heeseung overheard Sunoo saying he always wanted a puppy but couldn’t adopt one yet, he had to get creative.
“Are you serious about this?” Jay asked, watching Heeseung browse plush toys online.
“Relax. It’s just a stuffed one,” Heeseung replied.
When Sunoo opened the package, he found a soft golden retriever plushie and a note: "For when you need a loyal companion. Hope this makes you smile."
Months after Heeseung had given Sunoo a lot of Sunoo's wishes, that he stalk on Sunoo's X ( Twitter) . On a chilly Friday evening, Sunoo walked out of his psychology class to find Heeseung waiting nervously near the building’s entrance.
