The perfect boyfriend

Chapter 14

It doesn't matter, but everything just seems to fail. The notes, the chocolates, even his brain fails him now. Jihoon wanted to get some rest by himself and work on some new songs but he had been staring at the screen for hours and nothing, literally nothing came up.

"why me." he thinks.

Jihoon folds his hand together and lets them rest behind his head while he leans back and closes his eyes a bit. Jihoon huffs and puffs and decides it is time for the only thing that he really didn't want to do. Ordering flowers.

Why couldn't he just act like a man and just say; Hey, I like you. in the like like way, not the you are kinda cool and I dont wanna stab myself 10 million times when I am around you way. Jihoon admits, he is just so childish at times. The small boy was getting mad at himself for not being brave enough, for hiding himself, while he always wanted to stay true to himself. He huffs and puffs one more time and leans forward, back to his computer.

Flowers, what kind of flowers should the boy order. There are a lot of flowers thats for sure, but he wants to have the ones that are special, the ones that tells the other how much he means to the younger. After some research to meanings of flowers, Jihoon went with Peruvian Lilies, the most elegant ones he could find. It would match his dancing.

Peruvian Lilies, the symbol of undying commitment.

Jihoon takes his phone from the table a d dials the number of the flowershop. He didn't want the same mistake happen twice so he could get them himself. The lady on the phone was nice, she had an old voice but a really soothing one. One that would remind you of your grandma who gave you lots and lots of sugary treats while you were younger, the one who would always hug you as soon as you came in the room. The ladies voice sounds like that, she must be nice.

Jihoon thought it would be a good idea to pick up the flowers whilst everyone is out, he even said he would go for a walk on his own. The boy did it more often, so nobody would question.
Jihoon was right about the voice, the lady from the shop was an absolute sweetheart, she would treat everyone like family and had the kindest heart. She even helped with the little note Jihoon attached to the lovely boquet. Jihoon gave her a big tip and left the store. He had to admit, the flowers looked nice and smelled even nicer.

The boy had sneaked into the pledisbuilding with the boquet and checked if he was still all alone. He even managed to avoid getting caught by staff or other people that lived/worked in the building. Jihoon even brought a vase, the only thing he needs now is a place to put it. He can't just leave it in room of his crush, that would be to obvious. +! his room is a big mess, he wouldnt even notice it anyway.
Ever since Minghao refuses to clean up the latters laundry from the floor, the piles were getting bigger by the day.

Therefore, he puts it all on the table which was located in the hallway, not far from his bedroomdoor. He will know its for his since the no-. Jihoon wanted to put the note upfront only to discover he lost it... great.

The smaller panicks and wants to search the entire building for that note but he hears some voices coming closer, so he flees to his bedroom. Pffew, that was a close call.

It was Jeonghans voice that was heard through the hallways, he just came back with Jisoo. They went grocery shopping. Jeonghan had seen the flowers on the little table in the hallway. That boy sees everything, every small change. Atleast he thinks he does. Jeonghan walked towards the flowers after he put the groceries away ofcourse.

Jeonghan blushed a bit at the sight of them. Not knowing who brought them there but they sure had taste. They were absolutely beautiful in his eyes. But, he did find it such a waste that those flowers had to stand somewhere so hidden. Jeonghan picks up the black vase, with the purple peruvian lilies and brought them to the common room. The boy sets them on the coffeetable and smiles. Jisoo came in and smiled aswell.

"They are nice Han, where did you get them?" he asked while admiring them. Jeonghan shrugged and walked away, minding his own business. Smiling, meaning he would take a fine deserved nap.

Night fell and Jihoon decides to spend it all alone in his shared room with Mingyu. It became more often that Jihoon would be alone, after discovering meanie couples secret. The smaller would never make a problem out of something like that, if people are happy then they are happy right? Even if Jihoon would always say things like: ''But we are boys, can we even do this?'' on their vlogs or videos that his friends would see. Jihoon is scared someone would find out his sexuality. That he wouldn't be accepted, but he is happy that those two are brave enough even if still nobody knows.

Jihoon was bummed when he saw the flowers being replaced, he was sad another plan of his failed, but it just ment Soonyoungs plans were stupid as he already had claimed to be and sticks to his old plans again.

Jihoon decides to cross out his list, seeing he already did a lot. The boy is actually proud of himself, he did all this to achieve awareness from his crush. Seeing that the boy was always around, he knows his efforts didn't went unnoticed. Not only is he proud that his crush has watched his every movement, Jihoon really feels a bit more confident in himself:

❌ THE PERFECT BOYFRIEND ❌

1 x Strength/Honesty
Jihoon still remembers the beginning of this journey. He was doubting himself a lot but after a talk with one of his best friends, he knew he didn't have to worry about this one. Seungcheol had praised the younger, he felt like being put on a pedestal. Even if he didn't have to worry about it anymore, Jihoon decided to wrestle more with the members or help them around lifting. He even went to the gym, but it just wasn't his thing. He sure got a bit stronger with the help of Seokmin. Who could have known that this boy could lift a ton? CHECK.

2 x English
Jihoon had to chuckle. He sure remembers how he just barged into the room while they were doing a vlive, but the boy was determined. He needed help with his English and he got it. Best way to do it, involve the fans. They still had weekly trainings, and everyone was improving. They would show it on videos/Instagram and ofcourse fanmeets and concerts. CHECK.

3 x Listening/Understanding
He swore he couldn't do this one without Jeonghan. Jihoon decided to do this one all alone, since internet always had the answers for everything, but he just didn't understand. He remembers how he fell asleep during study. Jeonghan found him and taught him the ways of listening and understanding. Who knew it would start to have effect immediately. CHECK.

4 x Cooking
Mingyu is Seventeens star cook and Jihoon admires the younger for it. Admiration grew even more that day when they cooked together. He sure couldn't have done it all by himself. Jihoon knew that everyone had something they didn't like, but that some members had allergies? No, he didn't knew. He also never knew how much preparing it costed Mingyu to make food for 13 people, even if mostly you could eat with 20 from the amount he made, or did we all just eat a lot? Jihoon thinks and smiles again. CHECK.

5 x Reading/Gaming
Next on the list, reading and gaming. Jihoon knows a few readers in the group. But the mix of reading AND gaming could only be one. Wonwoo, look out. Your ass is going to be kicked, online ofcourse. Or... maybe Jihoon just thinks to high now.
