➶

it was a nice day for april; the sun was out and there didn't seem to be a cloud in the sky. you entered the new candy shop that had just opened at the end of the street; the sweet tooth (which happened to be a great name seeing as you had one yourself). the store was mildly crowded, seeing as it was only three days after its grand opening. you wasted no time in searching for which candy you'd like, filling up three bags to the brim (even though you knew you'd regret it by the morning).

you stood in line for checkout, rocking back and forth of your feet as you waited. the candy shop was cute. It had mint colored walls with baby pink accents and cute little puns on the walls; "you are a sweetie" or "you make my heart Starburst". you smiled to yourself, enjoying the lighthearted vibe of the shop before it was your turn.

you placed the bags on the counter, fishing out your credit card. "hello, did you find everything alright?" a mildly deep voice asked making you look up. you swear your heart stopped beating for a second as you took in the man in front of you.

for one, he was tall. like really tall. his hair was dark, almost a natural brown color that framed his face perfectly. he had dark eyes and long eyelashes, rosy cheeks, and the most amazing smile you have ever seen in your life. now, you never believed in love at first sight, but, wow. you might've just found your soulmate.

you look down at his nametag that wore printed bold letters and cute little lollipops: yunho.

"miss?" yunho's voice snapped you back to reality, blinking a few times before you felt your face heat up. "that'll be 17,000 won,"

you quickly fumbled with your card, handing it over to the brown-haired guy with a shy smile. he grabbed it and you nearly choked at the way your fingertips brushed. you were never a shy person, but he was making you so flustered, it was almost laughable.

as he scanned the card, you found the words tumbling out of your mouth before you even realized. "you have a really nice smile,"

yunho looked up from the screen with curious eyes, but the light blush that covered his cheeks gave everything away. "um, t-thank you. you have a nice smile too," his voice was quiet and soft as he ducked his head, brown hair falling in front of his eyes.

okay, that's it. you're officially in love.

he handed you your card and bags with a little bow of his head. "have a nice day," you slipped out the instinctive "you too" before leaving with a final wave, your heart pounding in your chest.

you'll definitely be back tomorrow.

and you sure kept your word. the next day, you came back and once again, stupidly stuttered out a dumb compliment. yunho would smile (and blush, but we're gonna pretend that you didn't notice that (you definitely did))and compliment you back before handing you your sweets and saying goodbye with a little chuckle. it was almost routine by your third visit and you both have gotten bolder and bolder each time.

"your eyes are pretty,"

"pretty?" yunho's eyes were wide and he froze for a second before snapping out of his daze.

"very pretty,"

"thank you. your eyes are prettier," you felt a blush creep up your neck. "actually, you're just pretty in general. very pretty," yunho's face was bright red as he rambled.

your eyes widened and you swore yunho's face got even redder. he quickly snuck a few lollipops in your bag and sliding your bag towards you. "have a good day,"

you quickly gained your composure, grabbing your sour patch kids. "y-yeah, you too."

you didn't think your heart could handle this. once you made it back to your apartment, you flopped face first onto your bed, groaning. yunho is going to be the death of you.

well, if you're going to die soon, might as well ask him out before your funeral. what's there to lose?

➶

you were nervous, to say the least. your palms were sweaty and your heart was beating. what if he rejects you? what if he doesn't think of you in that way?

you clutched your peeps in your hands tightly, watching yunho from afar as he rang up an old lady before helping her to the door. you didn't think it was possible to fall even more in love without actually having a proper conversation with someone.

you decided to stop hesitating and just get it over with. it was now or never. (of course, there were other times, but you just wanted to be able to hold his hand as soon as possible.)

you walked up to the counter and plopped your bag down as your eyes met yunho's. you saw his cheeks turn light pink as he avoided eye contact, quickly ringing up your candy. "u-um, hey. i mean, hi. wait, that's the same thing," yunho mumbled the last part to himself and you laughed lightly at his cuteness.

"hey," you smiled softly and yunho's eyes sparkled as you made eye contact. you handed him your card before continuing. "i actually had a question,"

yunho began ringing up your sweets, look back up (down) at you."and I have an answer," yunho smiled a bit. you felt all the tension leave your body and you questioned why you were overthinking things.

"i was wondering, if, um, you maybe, wanted to, you know, go on a date? with me?" you rushed out, face heating up. yunho's eyes were wide and his mouth hung open in shock. what if he really didn't like you like that? this was a bad ide-

"okay. i mean, yes. yes, i'll go on a date with you,"

"wait, really?"

"um, yes?"

"okay. okay, cool. that's cool. okay, yeah,"

what now?

"i still don't know your name though," yunho admitted, looking down at you with a slight smile. his gaze made you antsy. when did he get so confident? what happened to the shy blushing boy from two seconds ago?

"it's (y/n)," you answered, looking up at him with a slight blush. a full smile took over his face.

"(y/n)," he whispered to himself, testing out your name on his tongue. "you have a really beautiful name,"

"hey! it's my thing to compliment you!"
