“So what do you think?”
“It’s perfect,” Chaeryeong says, stealing another bite of the banana pancake. “But I’m not sure my judgment will mean that much. Yuna likes her food absurdly sweet.”
Ryujin flips another pancake, pleased. “I’m just trying to make sure that we don’t outlive our maknae.”
“You’re surprisingly good at this,” Chaeryeong observes. In just over an hour Ryujin managed to prepare seaweed soup, kimchi fried rice, and a yogurt parfait dessert thing that Chaeryeong sent her the recipe for on Instagram last week. No one else had volunteered to cook for Yuna’s surprise birthday brunch – Yeji and Lia sheepishly elected to sleep in after the eight hours of dance practice yesterday, and Chaeryeong simply had none of the skills required to do more than scrape Nutella on a piece of toast. She’d figured that they could just order some fried chicken and soup in the morning since Yuna isn’t sentimental about these things anyway, and foolishly decided to spend an extra hour scrolling through TikTok last night. When Ryujin woke her up at an ungodly hour this morning to ask for her help, Chaeryeong had been too grumpy to fall back asleep, but something about it surprised her too: that she hadn’t known Ryujin would care this much, and that Chaeryeong herself hadn’t been perceptive enough to even consider it.
Ryujin looks up from the pan. The sunlight beaming through the windows glitters in her hair and against the apron, bathing her left in yellow. Chaeryeong’s help in the kitchen was entirely limited to dialing the radio until she found a station whose music they both liked, but Ryujin didn’t seem to mind. Quiet mornings were rare in the dorm; Chaeryeong feels unexpectedly touched that Ryujin wanted to share this moment with her.
“Should this be part of my idol persona, too?” Ryujin jokes. “The dancer and rapper who likes cooking breakfast for people’s birthdays.”
“Won’t that limit your cool factor, though?”
“You think cooking is uncool?”
“I’m just saying.” Chaeryeong giggles. Out of everyone – “You’re so easy to read, you know. Everyone can tell that it’s just you behind the camera.”
“Ah.” Ryujin goes back to watching the batter. “I wouldn’t say it’s that easy.”
“You’re quite predictable, Shin Ryujin,” Chaeryeong says, though less sure of it now. Ryujin has this habit of holding her breath when she gets lost in thought, sometimes, like she’s trying to condense the present into a single focal point before it evaporates out of sight: at the park with a mask on, watching a group of twenty year old girls drinking beer and laughing so hard they topple into each other, spilling fizzy liquid onto their skirts; listening to Yuna swoon about the male lead in a drama as Yeji makes a face at the exaggerated curve of his eyebrows; watching Chaeryeong dance in their practice room mirrors and then not meeting her eyes afterwards. It would be so easy to ask why. But Chaeryeong is also the kind of person who will avoid any sort of conversation that might spiral into an emotional confrontation, and anyway, it’s easier to make guesses in her head.
Ryujin plates the pancakes and arranges blueberries in the shape of a racecar, which Yuna is bizarrely into these days. Someone’s alarm starts ringing in their bedroom. Chaeryeong’s still watching the curve of Ryujin’s shoulders as she takes a deep breath.
“I think,” Ryujin says, slowly, “I want to be brave instead.”
Re: [FILL] skylight
this part is so good: watching Chaeryeong dance in their practice room mirrors and then not meeting her eyes afterwards. It would be so easy to ask why. But Chaeryeong is also the kind of person who will avoid any sort of conversation that might spiral into an emotional confrontation, and anyway, it’s easier to make guesses in her head. i feel like the fic builds each of them up to this point where that sliver of a reveal is so good. also: chaeryeong observing ryujin's habits being a habit of her own... ALSO IS THAT FORMULA 1 FAN SHIN YUNA????? i love this, tysm!!

Mina wakes up to the scent of perfume and the crook of a collarbone.
“So you were lying when you said you weren’t tired.”
Mina frowns into Sana’s shirt. “That’s because I wasn’t tired. I was sleepy. How did you know I was awake?”
“Let’s go out,” Sana says instead of answering. Her fingers encircle Mina’s wrist as she talks, brushing Mina’s pulse point.
Mina opens her eyes at that. “But it’s cold outside. It’s warm here.”
Sana laughs. “It won’t be long,” she says. “There’s something I want to talk about with you.”
-
Once, in high school:
“I’ve been looking for you,” Sana says when she gets to the library, giving Mina a hug from behind in lieu of a greeting. “Momo says someone asked you out earlier today.”
Mina looks up. “How did she find out?”
“She said everyone in our grade knows. What did you say?”
“I said no, of course.”
Sana smiles. “That’s good to hear.”
“It is?”
“Of course,” Sana says, giving Mina a kiss on the cheek. “Didn’t you know I want you to be mine only?”
-
“What do you want to talk about?” Sana asks while they’re holding hands and waiting at the bus shelter.
Mina blinks.
“You always have something to talk about,” Sana says, and Mina watches as Sana checks the bus schedule. “It’s one of my favourite things about you. There’s always something to talk about with you. Even if you don’t say you want to talk about it. Let’s talk about something you want to talk about first, and then we can talk about what I want to talk about.”
Oh, Mina thinks, a familiar warmth flooding her heart. She had traced the warmth once, mapping out the path instead of poring over her review materials for a class. It was easy, imagining the warmth making its way from her heart to her lungs and back again, as if this too was something that kept her alive.
“I saw something that reminded me of you the other day. Do you want to see? I took a photo.”
Sana smiles, and it feels an awful lot like Mina’s done something right.
-
“Do you remember that day in high school when I cried and ruined your uniform?”
They’re in the elevator when Sana says this, on their way back up to Mina’s apartment. The metal handrail feels cool under Mina’s hands, and Sana’s cheeks are a little red from the winter cold.
Mina frowns. “That’s not what happened.”
Sana snorts. “I cried and cried into your shoulder during lunch. Like a baby. Your shirt was practically soaked through by the time lunch was over. I felt terrible about it.”
“That’s not what happened,” Mina insists.
The elevator announces their floor, and Sana’s hand finds Mina’s. “Okay,” Sana agrees as she leads them out. “That’s not what happened.”
“Is that what you wanted to talk about?”
“Nayeon texted me today,” Sana says. “She asked about you.”
“That’s nice of her.” Mina means it.
“I think she’s going to ask me out.”
“Is that what you want her to do?”
They slow to a stop in front of Mina’s door. “I don’t know,” Sana admits. “I don’t know what I want.”
“Does she make you happy?”
“Is that what matters?”
Mina hesitates at this, and Sana smiles. “You’re so cute,” she says, unlocking the door. “Do you want to watch something together tonight?”
“Wait,” Mina says, tugging gently on Sana’s hand. “What did you really want to say?”
Sana stills. “Do you really think that’s what matters most? Me being happy?”
“Of course,” Mina says immediately. “Of course it matters most. You always give a lot of happiness to the people you care about. Everything that’s good, you deserve.”
Sana looks surprised.
“You always make me happy,” Mina confesses, and it feels more honest than she wants it to be, closer to the truth than she intends. “It’s only right that you’re with someone who gives you a lot of happiness too. Does Nayeon make you happy?”
“She does,” Sana says after a moment. “She makes me really happy.”
“That’s good. I’m happy for you.” Mina smiles. A part of her means it. She lets go of Sana’s hand, opening the door.
“Mina—”
“What did you want to watch tonight?”
-
Once, in high school:
Sana gets her heart broken by her high school girlfriend on a Sunday night. She tells Mina on Monday, just before attendance is called, and Mina sits through the next four classes thinking about the tremor in Sana’s voice. At lunch, Sana tells Momo about the breakup too. Her voice is steady this time, and it isn’t until Mina reaches for Sana’s hand that she realises Sana’s hands have been shaking underneath the table. Sana cries into Mina’s shoulder for the rest of lunch, and when Sana apologises for it later, Mina frowns.
“Why are you saying sorry? Did you feel better afterwards?”
Sana nods.
“Then you don’t need to say sorry,” sixteen-year-old Mina says, reaching for Sana’s hand. “I’ll always be here for you. Whenever you need me to be.”
