jeongin; different

[author's note: happy new year! hope you guys get to spend this year happily. thank u <3]

i laid on my couch, warm arms cuddling my torso as we watch frozen 2. i felt jeongin's warm breath on my neck, his fingertips stroking my arm. we both are fixed on the movie but still enjoying the presence of the other person.

"i actually heard this is gonna be really sad, babe...", he said and chuckled a bit.
"i know...me too-"
"y/n?"
"yeah?"
"don't cry..."
i was cutely offended by his comment because he would always be overstrained when i cry and can't control my emotions. but in the end, he would always calm me down and make everything better...like the sweetheart he is. <3

"babe...
if i cried, what would you do?", i asked him, teasingly.
he scoffed.
"of course give you comfort! what else should i do?"
i shrugged.
"i don't know...you just- always tend to- like- act...uhm...how should i put it into words...?"
"sweetie, what are you trying to say-"
"yeah, when i cry...you're awkward. haha."
no reaction.

as i thought we were playing that joke and i definitely know he's not useless and awkward as i just said so, jeongin didn't answer and his stroking also ended.

"so, i'm awkward...-", he raised his voice.
"jeongin-", i turned around to see if we were even playing that joke.
"i'm awkward...?", his eyes met mine, i could easily tell he was hurt.
"jeon-"
"well yes, i'm awkward.
i'm not the tough guy everyone wants me to be and i thought you would still like me and you do but now you're also nagging about it an-"
the words were just floating out of his mouth, full of emotion and the aspect he had to fight this his entire life made an impact on me.
i was shaking, never thought this was one of his insecurities, yet, i made it worse.

the person who should appreciate and love him the most made fun of this particular flaw of this...well, he said, it's his flaw but it actually was one of his charms that made me fall for him.

i cupped his face to stop him and locked eyes with jeongin. as his trembling voice, his eyes looked at me with a certain sadness...that could make me give all my belongings just to him.
this sadness that made him look pitiful.

"jeongin babe...?"
"yeah?"
i grabbed his hands and intertwined them with mine, spreading the warmth to his broad, cold hands.
"you know i'll always love you, appreciate you. you own my heart and whether i see you, my heart flutters. i can't do anything but smile.
even if it sounds creepy, i could literally stare at your face all day, that's how beautiful you are.

but more beautiful yet stunning and breathtaking is your personality.
everyone says no one's perfect but in my eyes you are.
the way you are is so pretty, even the things you don't like are a part of your perfect human being.
you say you're sensitive and it's something bad?
no.
i like it. i adore it."

his brows furrowed.
"but why would y-"
"because it's special.
it's special and unique. it's showing you're emotional and that's what i like about you so much.
you care about others, are empathizing with them, reading and expressing emotions. and that's goddamn good, so please stop complaining babe, okay?
i love you, yang jeongin."

silence.
i guessed too much input for this moment but the next second i looked up at him, he had a shy smile over his face and made me straddle his lap, turning the movie on while burying his chin in my neck.
