(2018 OLD) lovesick; seokshua oneshots

songwriting and far too many cups of coffee

who says falling for u has to be a jihan song?

this is really long and there are a lot of bits where it like isnt mainly seoksoo and its afouhsiuj idk there's a lot of character explanation so sorry if this is boring :(

  sorry for the overuse of "hong jisoo..." in the first section lol 

---

hong jisoo can't sing. at least that's what he liked to tell everyone. it was an easy lie most of the time. people would see him playing guitar and immediately ask "oh do you sing?" to which jisoo would softly smile and shake his head no. sometimes people in understanding and others would ask him to anyways (which he would kindly turn down) 

hong jisoo, could but, wouldn't sing. to no one and nothing and if he ever really was forced to then he'd try his very best to sing badly. it's not like it was a big lie anyways, jisoo simply didn't want people to fawn over his voice, or worse, tell him how bad he was. so he kept to singing whenever he was alone. 

hong jisoo, however, could write songs. jisoo wrote songs like others wrote shopping lists, jisoo loved writing songs. but he also hated it. sometimes he'd leave them unfinished. good ideas abandoned, crumpled up in trash cans. sometimes he'd write short ones, silly ones. songs that helped him get into the right mindset, song's that meant practically nothing to anyone other than jisoo. other times he'd write long, meaningful, songs. songs that expressed his heartbreak or greatest successes. songs that made his shoulders feel a little less heavy. 

hong jisoo loved to please. so when yoon jeonghan called him asking if he had any free time for them to write a, love, song together (for choi seungcheol, jisoo suspects. jeonghan seemed to have quiet an interest in the older business major for quite a while and jeonghan was never a big fan of writing love songs so if he did want to write one it would have to be for someone special.) jisoo knew choi seungcheol. he was a tall, bright eyed, boy with jet black hair and long eyelashes that fluttered whenever he spoke with jeonghan. always sporting his dark brown sandstorm shoulder bag in which he probably carried far too many books which would explain his every increasing horrible posture. choi seungcheol was one of jisoo's favourite people; kind and gentle, always ready to crack a joke and make someone feel better. so jisoo understood why jeonghan, despite being unwilling to admit it, fell for the older man after only a month of knowing each other. jisoo suspected that jeonghan's shoulders, and heart, got too heavy and he felt like relieving his feelings in the only way that seemed appropriate: a love song.

hong jisoo himself had his eye on someone. although, he had never really ' fallen in love ' before. he didn't think he ever would fall in love either. jisoo deemed it to be something that existed in books and movies only. but when lee seokmin, first year music major, showed up at one of their get togethers with one of their friends, another lee but jihoon this time, jisoo started thinking otherwise. lee seokmin, another one of his favourite people, had this aura about him that made practically everyone fall for him. tall and muscular, a strong jaw and pretty brown eyes, always wore a confident stance and practically embodied everything that a mother would want for her child to have. seokmin was polite and kind, always thanking and asking nicely for things. seokmin was strong and bright, very intelligent but never overly cocky about it. he was everything and more and jisoo couldn't help but develop feelings for him. seokmin and him were friends, much like how jeonghan and seungcheol were. yet neither him or jeonghan could quiet manage the words to express their feelings.

 jeonghan because seungcheol may or may not already have a girlfriend and he didn't want to be some kind of homewrecker.

jisoo, simply, because he was scared and seokmin was too good for him.
