You & Hyunsuk are strangers, the whole world seems to think otherwise.
In his last year of high school, Hyunsuk makes the mistake of accidentally confessing to the wrong person. That’s where everything goes wrong.
·
“Excuse me,”
Turns to find you. And a boy.
“Do– do you need something?” Your smile is unbearable, the kindness in your eyes bright and blazing on your face. Head tilts, the boy’s head does the same – synced in a way that doesn’t mean friendship, deeper than it looks. More.
“I… Um!” Turns to your locker, stares at it – heart drops, chews on his lip. Bites hard.
“… Ask if he’s okay,”
Hyunsuk feels the burn, your eyes and the boy’s – searing at the back of his neck, seeping into his skin, bones, to his heart. Feels the red bloom of embarrassment grow on his cheeks.
“Are you okay? You look like you’re sick–”
Hyunsuk runs. Wants the ground to open up and swallow him – he made a mistake. Accidentally gives you his love letter for someone else – he makes a mistake, and he doesn’t know what to do.
Hyunsuk makes a mistake and runs.
·
“Maybe it’s a bomb –”
Yoshinori leans close to you, stares over your shoulder at your locker. Steals a glance at your face, before he bumps your shoulder gently with his, says, “– or a very lovely love letter,”
“Or maybe, he made a mistake and accidentally put it, said love letter, in my locker,”
“That only happens in Shoujo manga…” He pouts, bottom lip jutting out. You shrug, looking to him, a smile blooms on your face, “my life could be a work of fiction, you never know, Yoshi.”
“I’ll believe it when I see it,”
You begin to taste something bitter in your mouth. Wondering if it is a love letter, or if it’s a mistake, or it’s – you dwell on your thoughts. Feels a hand ground into your shoulder, kneads through the layers of your uniform. Presses soft, too gently on you – “it’s okay to reject people, you know.” Nods his head, brings you back to reality.
You nod, open palm moving to cover his hand, “It’s okay to reject people,” you say back. Repeating his words, more to yourself than to anyone else.
“I’ll go get us milk, you’ll wait here for me, right?” Waits until you hand him over a few coins from your bag, fingers brushing against his. You nod, “obviously,” you say quietly. He smiles before he’s gone.
You stare after him. Feel the heat burning in your gut, you inhale. Swallow the world and feel something heavy on your shoulders.
You open your shoe locker, stare at the letter above your outdoor shoes. Stare and stare, until realization hits.
This could be for you, or it could be for someone who isn’t you – you don’t open it. Not until after lunch, after mouthfuls of rice, after your strawberry milk, after Yoshinori walks you to class, and goes to his.
Once you sit in your desk. Placing the pink envelope in between the folds of your notebook. Tearing it open, and placing out the parchment paper in your schoolbook, in the folds again.
Parchment paper between fingers, scratches against your forefinger. Draws blood, seeps into the corner of the paper.
You whip your fingers against your woollen sweater, red staining brown. Before your heartbeat quickens.
You looked beautiful today. I wanted to talk to you, ask you if you liked the color green – or any colors, you probably like colors. I chickened out, felt like I wasn’t enough to be beside you. But you looked beautiful today. I like the way you look. Your hair, the way the sun catches it – I wonder how your hair will look green. Probably wouldn’t match you, maybe it would. But I like the color green, I wanted to ask if I should dye my hair green. I probably won’t. Too chicken for that. Just like I’m too chicken to talk to you – I want to write poems about you, expect I don’t know how, and my friends think that’s weird because I can’t spell correctly when I’m expressing myself. What do you think? Am I good at writing? Grammar really shouldn’t matter, right? If it does– I’m rambling, can you do that through pen and paper? Anyways. I think you’re beautiful. I like the way you look – I just like you. There’s no one like you. I hope one day you like me just as much as I like you.
Your not-so secret admirer, Hyunsuk.
Then your heart stops. Your knees knock together.
The letter smells like strawberries.
·
Hyunsuk sits with Jihoon. Watches Bang Yedam make his way to them, Asahi following close behind – they’ve been attached by their hips when someone swore that they were too awkward with one another, Yedam’s face grew red and Asahi had said, “we aren’t, you just don’t see us together often,” – let’s Yedam press close to him when he sits beside Hyunsuk. And Asahi stands, stares at students eating their lunches, while popping the joints in his hands.
“I messed up.”
Jihoon is sighing, face twisting in confusion, “in what way? The kind of way that means cleaning up after you, or the kind of way that means–”
Hyunsuk interrupts him, voice barely a voice, “I gave the letter to the wrong person…”
Yedam is leaning up, staring at the side of Hyunsuk’s face, and Asahi has stopped the popping. “Are you alright?” It’s cautious, too low for anyone to hear, Hyunsuk nods before he drops his head, hands coming to curl around the back of his neck. Still feels the burning of your stare there, “I’m just so embarrassed. Like, why would I do that like that? I’m so – oh my god, there’s that guy that was with them!” His voice squeaks, draws attention. And he’s pushing himself behind Jihoon, who stares at the boy with eyes wide.
Asahi says, “That’s Yoshinori.”
And Yedam is humming, nodding along in understanding. “He’s always in the music room with class 1’s [reader],” And suddenly realization hits. “You confessed to [reader], didn’t you?” And Asahi is walking away despite Jihoon calls for him. “There he goes. Our son is growing up,” Jihoon says jokingly, and his smile snaps away when Hyunsuk’s face turns purple, like all the air in his lungs has been pulled away.
Asahi stands behind Yoshinori as he buys two milks from the vending machine, talks to him. Hyunsuk watches as he smiles at Asahi, soft. Pulls the corners of his mouth gently, lightens up his face. Wonders if you two are together – Then Yoshinori is waving awkwardly at them, smile soft. Cheeks reddening. Asahi is shrugging as his mouth moves.
Then Yoshinori is leaving, stealing glances at Hyunsuk. Just Hyunsuk. Only Hyunsuk – and Asahi is coming back.
He says, “he’s in the manga club with me.”
A breathe escapes Hyunsuk’s mouth, “I’m so dumb…”
Yedam hand rubs Hyunsuk’s shoulder awkwardly, “maybe they’ll both forget about it.”
“He wrote about how he wonders what their hair would look like green,” Jihoon says, mouth twitches. Hyunsuk is sighing, “I was just wondering…”
“… Why would you even wonder that?” Asahi questions. Brows narrowing at Hyunsuk, and Jihoon laughs, hand covering his mouth. Makes it muffled.
“I don’t want to be friends with you guys.”
“I’m trying to make you feel better, hyung!”
·
After school, after club practice, after Yoshinori leaves the school early to catch his bus – you’re alone.
Left by your shoe locker switching shoes, White cotton socks on wooden flooring. You shrug off your woollen sweater, folding it before shoving in your bag. A student walks by, nodding his head to you as he leaves, “be safe,” you say quietly. Watching as he leaves. You stare absentmindedly at the sky, before the door closes. You continue to stare once it’s closed.
“Um. Hey.”
A voice startles you. You jump. Knocking your bag over, your things spell out, along with the letter.
He’s kneeling, grabbing your stuff. Sliding it across the wooden floor. Toward you. They sit at your feet, before you kneel to. Knees pressing atop the floor. The crevices of wood holding skin. “You shouldn’t do that. I could have punched you,” You smile at him, but he keeps his head low.
Strangely, you don’t like it.
“Can you take a confession back?”
He asks. Your heart begins to hurt.
–No, this is the first boy to ever like you. He’s thinks you’re beautiful, he likes your hair, and you. And you don’t know him, but for the first time – you don’t know.
“I don’t know you. I don’t like you. Like– like that. I think you should dye your hair. I think green is nice, but I like black because it’s ever color. I don’t know you… And I don’t want to know you. I’m not looking for romance. Not now.”
For the first time you look at him. Think you see, see you. And he does.
You hope he does. But you also don’t.
“I… Okay, but can you answer my question.”
You smile, your head tilts and you say thoughtfully, “You can’t, not once you’ve already confessed.”
He nods. Your cheeks begin to burning. Palms becoming sweaty. You swear he’s beautiful. “I’m sorry,” He apologizes, “But I–”
“There you are!” A friend of his appears. Eyes on you and the contents of your bag on the floor. “I was looking for you, you weren’t in class.”
“I was… I was just apologizing to [reader].”
You nod, beginning to grab your things. Hand touching the letter before you slide it to him. “Be careful next time.” You say, because he’s taking his confession back and he nods. Cheeks reddening.
You’re shoving your things in your bag, standing up in a hurry. “See you both,” Grabbing your shoes, and slamming your locker with more force then intended.
Your eyes blur, and you wonder if it means you aren’t enough.
It isn’t that, you just don’t know.
·
“They looked upset.”
Hyunsuk is staring, the letter by his knee. Torn open, pink suddenly doesn’t look like it should. It doesn’t feel like a lovely color anymore.
“They were.”
A realization hits – you wanted the letter to be yours.
(He doesn’t know that there is a girl listening in, hands curling around her books, mind swirling – “[reader] was confessed to by Hyunsuk!” she gushes the next day to a few other girls. “They rejected him! Why would they even do that?!”)
·
#main protagonist: hope you’re home safe and sound, can we have lunch with a friend tomorrow? (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*.✧ [06:48]
#readerchan: i am! and of course, anything you want! ^_____^ [06:50]
You’re changed, pajamas soft your skin. You finish up your homework. Settling in your bed, phone in your hand.
#main protagonist: yeah, a friend from the manga club asked if i wanted to meet his friends, he invited you (´⊙ω⊙`)！[06:53]
#readerchan: that’s weird… [06:53]
#main protagonist: it is weird! i was like !, and then he was like ?, but i said yes [06:54]
#main protagonist: that guy who was by your locker is his friend (๑•﹏•) [06:54]
#main protagonist: i can decline, make up an excuse like i got sea sick and forget about his invitation lol [06:55]
#readerchan: you’re so weird~ [06:59]
Sighing, you lay down and stare at the ceiling. Eyelids closing over irises. You picture a cow jumping over the moon, feeling your heart heavy in your gut.
You sleep and dream of the boy you barely know.
Hyunsuk, Hyunsuk, Hyunsuk, Hyunsuk – you wonder how he’d look with green hair.
·
Hyunsuk is walking to school. Bundled in a coat, the morning air bitter against his skin.
Closing his air as he walks down an emptied street, listens to a song that makes his body ache – pull it together, we could love you, forever and ever – sees you hopping in the bus, coat buttoned up, woollen sweater in your arms along with two bags. A brown paper bag, and aged leather. Watches you fade into bodies on the bus through glass.
Realizes you live down the street from him.
Then he continues walking. Wondering if he should buy Yedam lunch.
·
At school, Yoshinori is waiting patiently by your shoe locker, already talking to someone. You recognize him as the boy from yesterday, the one who isn’t Hyunsuk – “– you heard that? From a freshman? I don’t think that’s true–” Yoshinori stops talking, face turning red at you. And the boy stares, and stares, and stares. Until you redden. “Wh… Um, hello.” You bow, and he smiles. Lifts at corner, before it spreads across his face. And Yoshinori waves. Awkward, like he has something he shouldn’t tell you.
“You’re [reader]?”
You nod, smiling. Shuffling between feet. Standing awkwardly in the hall.
“Uh. There was –”
“There is.” Yoshinori says, low. Quietly. The boy continues, “There is a rumor. It’s about you. And Hyunsuk. And Yoshinori.”
Your face twists. “… Hyunsuk?”
Your voice expressed regret over embarrassment. “Um. I didn’t accept his letter.” You’re looking at Yoshinori. Forgetting about the boy for a moment. “I couldn’t.”
Your heart hurts.
You walk cautiously to your locker. “They should fade, they won’t last – tell Hyunsuk not to worry.” You smile. And it looks bitter on your face.
The boy nods. Smiling, “See you later.”
His hand pats Yoshinori on the back before he’s gone.
“Why didn’t you accept? Hello, Shoujo romance is cheesy, you should have –”
“It’s also cringy, Yoshi.”
He sighs, hand going to his pants pocket, holding a manderine out. An open palm and a smile too soft – you grab it slow, fingertips brushing against his palm.
You don’t see Hyunsuk watching. Feeling the low unsettling burn of something in his gut – eyes on your face, your cheeks, your fingers – realizes you don’t want a letter from him, but from Yoshinori.
·
Hyunsuk walks to class after putting his things away. Thinks of Yoshinori and who he is – and why he doesn’t like you the way he should.
“What are you thinking about?” Yedam is by his side, books in his arms. Face lightening up at him.
“Yoshinori. Do you know him?” Yedam slows, thinking. Brows furrowing, lip going between his teeth. “Only that he’s in the manga club.” Shaking his head softly.
“Manga club…” Hyunsuk stops, sees you walking down the hall with Yoshinori. “What do you know about [reader]?”
Your head turns and you don’t see him. Your cheeks are tinged red, only seeing Yoshinori who doesn’t see you in the way you want – “they’re really nice. I talked to them once,”
Hyunsuk decides, why not – and vows to make Yoshinori jealous. For you. Only you.
That’s his second mistake.
·
You peel the manderine during break. At your desk, atop notebooks and schoolbooks. Fingers pull the skin, tearing the flesh of the manderine.
Your fingers softly ground into the pulp, pulling the piece apart and laying them on your tongue. Chewing slow, feeling the warmth of happiness bloom in your chest.
Until Hyunsuk walks into your class looking at you with a smile.
You begin choking, grabbing your water bottle and chugging.
“Are you okay?” He’s suddenly in front of you, concern written on his face – “I shouldn’t have come, I’m so sorry, I clearly almost killed you–”
And you laugh, because he’s rubbing his chin. Forgetting about you.
It snaps him back into reality, looks at your face, red discoloration seeping into your skin. You look different without Yoshinori.
You look beautiful.
“You almost killed me twice already,”
You say, softly. And you don’t notice eyes watching you both. All you can see is him.
He gestures towards the empty desk beside you. “May I sit with you?” You nod.
“Did I really almost kill you?” He questions. It’s cute, makes your heartbeat quicken. You don’t feel it, you don’t feel the pink crawling up your neck.
You and Hyunsuk talk. You give him a piece of manderine and watch his entire face redden when your fingers brush his palm.
A friendship blooms.
·
“I talked to [reader].” He tells Yedam. Whispers it, like a secret. It is.
Yedam nods, looking at him to continue. “They’re nice.” Yedam is humming, makes Hyunsuk’s gut jump. He agrees, low and quiet. Smiling.
They wait for Jihoon and Asahi. By a bench near the school doors. Yedam’s lunch in plastic containers on his knees, tells Hyunsuk, one is for Jihoon. And Hyunsuk pouts, “None for me?” Yedam is pushing him, softly with his shoulder.
The hair on Hyunsuk’s neck stands when he sees you trailing after Yoshinori. Hair blowing in the breeze that passes, hand pushing it away. The other hand clenched tight around a brown paper bag.
Doesn’t notice his heart burning.
“You look beautiful in the sun.”
He says, and he smiles. Watches you freeze. Face flushing, before you say, “…You too?”
Thinks it’s true. That you look beautiful in the sun.
Doesn’t notice you staring at Yoshinori. Doesn’t notice Yoshinori staring at him.
·
You sit beside Yoshinori and Yedam. Across from Hyunsuk.
You pick at a jelly sandwich, listening to Yoshinori talk about Shoujo manga and the recent adaptation of his favorite manga with Asahi – you think of manderines and if they remind Yoshinori of you, or if he’s just a good friend.
Your gut starts becoming uneasy. Emptying out.
Would Yoshinori ever like me?
You think. Chewing the inside of your cheek until Hyunsuk hands you a strawberry, smiling at you.
Yoshinori stops talking. Stares at you. Stares at Hyunsuk.
You think, but rejection is okay, if Yoshinori doesn’t like me, other people will. And you take it, pretending you are in a Shoujo manga. Just like Yoshinori said.
You smile. And Yoshinori frowns.
And Hyunsuk’s heart burns.
·
Hyunsuk stares at your smile. Feels the burn, remembers that you aren’t the one he likes – remembers that it could change.
His heart begins to burn. Searing against bones.
His breath catches.
This is his third mistake.
·
Hyunsuk asks Yedam about it days later, if it’s okay to move on quickly, and if it’s okay with like you – “people move on differently, it depends on the person, it depends on you. Everyone has their own process.” Smiles at Hyunsuk and continues walking. Meeting Asahi again, this time with Yoshinori.
Yoshinori isn’t Yoshinori without you, that’s what Hyunsuk thinks. Doesn’t realize you and Yoshinori walk different paths in life.
Trails behind.
Until he sees you.
Leaning against Yoshinori’s shoe locker. With two containers in your hand. And two strawberries milks atop them.
Face brightening up at Yoshinori. Heart burning, wishing it were him. You hand Yoshinori the container, fingers pressing tightly around it. Releasing it into his hands.
You give a strawberry milk to Hyunsuk.
You sit between them, and Hyunsuk watches the way the sun catches your hair when it shines bright in the sky. Heart aching, he decides to write you a letter – but this time, it isn’t for someone else. This one is for you.
·
“Do you like Hyunsuk?” Yoshinori asks quietly.
You’re sitting across from him. His eyes are tender, too soft to hurt you. Your hand curls tightly around your pencil, biting the side of your cheek, something bitter tinges your tongue. “W– what do you mean?”
His head tilts, drops to the chest. “You didn’t give me milk today… That sounds childish saying it out loud.”
You smile, but it feels strained. Your gut recoils, and you feel strange.
It’s been weeks since the letter. It’s felt like days – the more you think about the letter, the less you think of Yoshinori.
Instead all that fills your head is the smell of parchment paper that held the scent of strawberries, and Hyunsuk and if he’ll ever dye his hair green.
“I don’t… I don’t know.” It’s quiet. And Yoshinori stares, “you should tell him.”
Your breath hitches. Face twisting, you become upset because – because… You like Yoshinori. You do. You want him to be with you. You do. But Hyunsuk is there, here, he’s everywhere. Hyunsuk makes you feel warm and fuzzy and Yoshinori – “I liked you, Yoshinori.”
His face pales. He stiffens, and you know. Like you’ve always known.
You begin collecting your things. “Don’t say anything, okay? I know. I always knew. I… We were always just friends.”
Your eyes dampen when you walk away.
You think of Hyunsuk and wonder if he’ll ever dye his hair.
You think of Hyunsuk and wonder if he’ll ever hold your hand.
If he’ll ever just make a move.
You think of Hyunsuk. And he’s all you can really think of lately.
·
Hyunsuk writes you a letter.
He feels his heart ache and burn.
Thinks of your hair and your hands and you.
·
You’re almost at the school gates when Jihoon notices you.
You remember parts of him – he likes dancing, drawing, and he’s good at those things. His excitement rolls onto everyone around him, and he can make you smile and anyone else. You remember he’s friend with Hyunsuk and he’s easy to get along with – “Goodmorning!” You bow slightly. And it makes him laugh a bit.
“That felt so formal… Never do that again.”
Your voice stutters. Chin ducking, hitting your chest. “… Am I really that formal?”
“Try extremely reserved,” He jokes, it makes you smile. Face reddening, hands curling around your bags. “What’s for lunch?“ His chin lifts, gesturing to your brown paper bag.
“A sandwich.”
You shuffle between feet, hearing him mumble quietly, “Aw.”
“You should go, the bell will ring soon, don’t want to take up your precious time!” He wraps an arm around your shoulders, pushes you gently through the gates.
You wonder about Hyunsuk.
“Jihoon… Um… Hyunsuk, is – do you think… Do you think he likes me…?”
Your chewing your lip. Staring at the way his head tilts, at the way a smile grows on his face.
“Why don’t you ask him?”
You ‘oh’ softly, taking slow steps backwards. Nodding, before you twist around.
“… Ask him?”
·
He catches a glimpse of you at lunch.
Eating outside, sitting on a bench. Cherry blossoms fall, and it’s heart pounding. Smiles a little at your fingers pulling back the flesh of a manderine.
Opening the door, he walks to you. Maybe too quickly. Too rushed. But his heart is pounding loudly in his ears, his chest burns and wildfire is spreading across his body.
He practically throws the letter at you. It’s in a light green envelope. A sloppy drawn heart at the centre, slanted.
Eyes shut tight. Face tinged pink.
“I love you [reader]!”
That’s his fourth mistake.
Helikes you. But that works too.
Then he’s running. Towards the entrance doors. Pulling it open and letting it slam shut.
You face bursts into flames. Your heart swells and your stomach flutters.
His hair is green. A very bright green.
·
You read the letter during your last period.
There’s an extra layer of timidness in your fingers when they tear open the envelope.
Your whole body seizes. Your heart drums, and your fingers are running over his writing.
You look beautiful every day. My first letter, it wasn’t for you – but I’m glad I gave it to you. You like green. I did it BTW, dyed my hair. You’ll probably see, or have seen? I talked to you, I know you. Or at least, I like to think I do. Here are some things I know – 1. You like fruit, you pull the skin off of manderines slow, and you eat strawberries like they’re too sweet 2. You like the color black, because it’s every color. I think 3. You’re more reserved than anyone I’ve ever met, you remind me of an old person, in the best way 4. You look beautiful, that’s a given. You’ve always been beautiful and I’ve just never noticed 5. You’re everywhere, I’m just blind 6. You might like me. I don’t know. Not yet. I hope you do. If not, that’s okay too. I’ll understand. But. I think you’re beautiful and I think I’m a bad letter writer? See. I don’t know how to write.
You look beautiful every day. I like you. I think we’d go sweetly together. Let me walk you home.
Your not-so secret admirer, Hyunsuk.
Your knees knock together. Your heart bursts and your stomach knots.
He didn’t like you, but he does now. You think that’s okay, and you also think, maybe it isn’t.
Your heart has already decided.
You’re walking home with Hyunsuk.
·
He waits. At the school gates. Starked off in his uniform. Waits and waits. Feels a quiet nervousness swirl in his gut.
Doesn’t notice you walking toward him. Two strawberry milks in your arms and the letter in between your fingers.
“… Hey.”
The world slows down for Hyunsuk.
“Will you walk me home?”
Hyunsuk’s heart pounds and he smiles. Nervousness fading away, ebbing into less.
He nods, watches you hold out a strawberry milk. Takes it, fingertips brushing against your palm.
“Okay… I’ll walk you home,”
What he means is, I like you so much.
·
Hyunsuk walks you home.
Kisses you slow. Tastes like strawberries. Reminds you of Summer.
No – you lean in first. Eyes closed when your lips touch. Your hand twisting at the fabric of his shirt, palm warm over his chest. Pulling away slow.
“… Are you okay?” You ask, hand covering his. “I… Just really like you.” Face flushed red, you smile. Kiss him once more. Tasting of strawberries. Reminds you of Summer.
(#readerchan: i’m sorry :(
#main protagonist: finally, i thought you were never going to apologize
#readerchan: WHY DIDN’T YOU APOLOGIZE THEN
#main protagonist: I didn’t want to <3).
·
In his last year of high school, Hyunsuk makes mistake of accidentally confessing to the wrong person. Everything turns out okay.
■ScorpioMars: surprisingly scorpio mars are very chill, and he lives up to that. He does have a strong drive, a strong aura and great confidence but is not as quick to anger as some would expect. But also can hide it pretty well so… it just depends. He doesn’t open up as much, as I just mentioned, he keeps most things hidden and tends to show only what is convenient for him which is not always a bad thing, it’s not like he has an alter ego, it’s just for his trustworthy issues. In relationships, he’s possessive and loyal and expects nothing less. Those on and off games aren’t his type of thing. Sex is meaningful for the most part, but can mean nothing as well. He wants a partner that is as committed for him so he can open up his heart.
Jihoon
■Aries Mars: high energyyy. He’s assertive, hot headed, impulsive. He’s competitive and aggressive, sometimes playfully, sometimes not. He likes taking control, taking the lead and is always open to new experiences. Strong sex drive. His temper is something people and even him should be afraid of, anger blinds him. He’s up to get into a fight any time. He’s got an ego and can’t take when things don’t go his way. But his temper lasts approx 5 seconds lol and his enthusiasm is contagious. In relationships, he’s openly jealous, mostly for entertainment purposes. He goes after what he wants and is very straightforward.
Yoshi, Yedam & Haruto
■Gemini Mars: restless minds. They like communicating but can have a hard time getting their message acrossed. They’re witty and curious and are attracted to someone who’d debate with them. They can easily suffer from anxiety and stress since they never take any breaks from overthinking. So sleeping could be one of their favorite things in the world. Listening to motivational talks and podcasts might be really good for them. In relationships, oh boy,,, they usually feel like having new experiences is most important. Which makes them not the most committed partners, in fact, it’s way harder to keep them around. It’s their nature to be constantly changing since they get bored quiet easily. When trying to get someone’s attention, they get super talkative and funny. Tend to talk a lot more when nervous.
Junkyu
■Leo Mars: drama queen. I adore junkyu bc he’s so silly and I do think that’s his Mars showing. He’s usually optimistic and fun to be around. He’s got a heart of gold, genuinely wants to make people happy. Is also not super quick to anger, unless you push his buttons. There’s certain things that trigger him and can make him go from 0-100 in just a second. When he’s mad, it’s very obvious lol you can tell by his face, his posture, his vibe, and most of the time he lets people know by just talking sh*t or by raising his voice hahaha but also can act mad and hurt just to entertain others. He’s a jokester, don’t take him too seriously. In relationships, he wants to be loved and adored. Once he sets his mind on someone, it’s really hard for him to get over that person, but can easily let go if the person starts acting indifferent and cold. He hates that. So much.
Mashiho, Jaehyuk & Asahi
■Sagittarius Mars: they have high energy just like any other fire sign, but they’re energy is the chillest one. Of course they get mad, but they’re not prideful or is not like they want to punch people. They can raise their voice or be mean but will immediately regret it afterwards. They’re also quick to accepting when they’ve made a mistake. Also, they’re super blunt, expect only the truth from them. They can act like little kids and laugh at the stupidest things which is lovely. Love having fun. In relationships, they’re warm. Love being taking cared of. But it’s hard to tie them down, they’re just free spirits and need people to give them space.
Doyoung
■Pisces Mars: he really has a soft spot for dancing and music. You can tell by the way he moves that he enjoys it so much he gets lost in it. He’s high in sensitivity. He can sense everything, can easily pick up on people’s mood. He can be really two-faced when mad. A whole different person. This placement makes him a little shy as well. Spends most of the time day dreaming. But that’s what makes him very attracting. In relationships, his standars are set up quiet high bc he creates this idea of what he likes and falls in love with it. No one could ever meet such expectation cuz it’s not even real. He has to be careful who he falls for because once hooked, he would not stop thinking about that person. This placement makes me want to hug him seriously.
Jeongwoo
■Libra Mars: oh he just likes staying out of troubles. He gives off a peaceful vibe and is very calm for the regular. But don’t mistreat him, don’t just start yelling at him for no reason, don’t be mean to him. He can go from being a very sweet and calm person to being a complete bitxh, and would start telling you your truth and why you’re wrong and uhh… it’s something you don’t really expect from him, that’s why he avoids getting mad. In relationships, he’s very giving. He likes to give as much as he likes to receive. He’s a smooth talker for sure. Sometimes it’d look like he’s flirting but he’s unaware of it. So it doesn’t mean he’s attracted to that person. But is also not the jealously type, he just wants a lovely relationship.
Junghwan
■Capricorn Mars: he’s ambitious. Incredibly hard-working, can easily become a workaholic. Likes to be recognized for the things he has worked hard for. Laziness really doesn’t go with him. Responsibilities always go first. But keeps many things to himself, so many would describe him as reserved. He knows he’s a good option and is incredibly competitive. It’s very hard for him to get over old habits and routine. In relationships, he approaches so cautiously that sometimes he won’t even dare to go far. When he likes someone, he admires from afar since he can easily get offended and hurt if his feelings are not reciprocated.
■Venus in Gemini: they’re into someone who’s outspoken and extroverted. Or it can be someone quiet and reserved as long as they can hold a conversation. Mental stimulation is key and having great sense of humor is very important as well. They’re the type to love making their s/o laugh. They get jealous easily and have a tendency to be possessive. Are more into long-term relationships. Fashion style - they like wearing things that are trendy and rather colorful.
Jihoon
■Venus in Pisces: he likes who he likes. Usually falls for the wrong people and might have multiple crushes. But once his heart is set on someone, he won’t go anywhere, which is very sweet but also very dangerous since the other person can take advantage of this. Gets easily jealous and most of the times it’s all in his head. Is more into the cutie pie type. Fashion style - simple but never basic, pastel colors really fit him.
Yoshi
■Venus in Taurus: loves stability and routine. He could still have a crush on someone he liked 5 years ago. And it’s never going away. But is always down to meet new people and set new expectations. Is into someone who’s protective and caring. If they can cook is a plus. Someone that gives their all to him. More on the introvert side. Someone that would listen to him tell the same story like it’s the first time. Fashion style - comfortable but stylish, earthy tones suit him the most.
Junkyu
■Venus in Libra: picky. Very picky. Is a hopeless romantic and flirts without even trying but his expectations are set up quiet high. He’s attracted to someone who’s reserved and funny. Great manners. Someone with a pretty delicate voice is attractive to him. Someone that reciprocates his love. Fashion style - trendy but casual. Knows how to dress, might even want to dress his s/o.
Mashiho
■Venus in Aries: someone that can keep up with his energy is attractive. It’s so obvious when likes someone. He gets all touchy and stuff. Someone not too loud, not too mean but a little bit of a savage. That he can protect but is also independent. That understands his passion and is supportive. He can get easily jealous if provoked. Is into the fit/sporty type. Fashion style - bright colors, especially red, look great on him.
Asahi
■ Venus in Cancer: would love someone that’s hard working, independent, selfless and mature. He’s extremely devoted to his s/o and absolute hates whoever doubts it. He’s attracted to confidence. Someone that can give him emotional support when he’s feeling down. Someone that he knows will be there, right next to him, in the morning. Fashion style - comfy. Over-sized, sometimes not even matching clothing.
Doyoung
■Venus in Capricorn: he likes people that he can look up to. So whoever he likes is someone he truly admires. Someone mature, most likely older. He needs someone that can lead him because is too scare to take the first step. Would spend years staring at his crush from afar. Is probably already thinking about settling down, getting married, having kids. He can become obsessed with people easily. Fashion style - something that makes him look older, dark tones, a little casual.
Jeongwoo
■Venus in Leo: confidence is highly important. He wants that one person everyone else wants too. Someone that’s well dressed most of the time… hair and make-up done, some jewelry. That’d be his ideal type but realistically, no one looks good all the time. Once he understands that, he’d find beauty in someone who listens to him. Someone that only has eyes for him because he can get insecure sometimes. Gifts become a way for him to express his love and loves receiving as well. He’s not afraid to speak his mind, if he wants you, he’ll let everyone know. Fashion style - something that fits nicely to his body.
Junghwan
■Venus in Aquarius: he likes mysteriousness and intelligence. Someone goofy, playful but an introvert. That’s not afraid to change their hair colour/style. That’s not afraid to stand up for themselves and others. Someone that won’t ever judge him and encourages him to be himself instead. Someone that understands he wants to be alone sometimes and respects that. He’s not afraid of commitment, he’s afraid of committing to the wrong person. Fashion style - anything or everything black. Bold.
■ Cancer Moon: nurturing. They might have a special relationship with their mother or just women in general, they resonate with feminine energy the most. They need reassurance and be taken care of but are most likely to be the ones that take care of others. I’m not surprised they’re both the leaders of Treasure. Cancer moons have a lot to deal with on the first place, sometimes they don’t want to be bothered by anyone else’s problems. How they’re feeling has a lot of impact on people around them.
Yoshi & Haruto
■ Libra Moon: peaceful. They’re the most loving and sacrificial deep down. All they want is peace. They like to be liked. Love to be loved. Everything has to be reciprocated. Dislike arguments so they run away from them. Libra moons observe their surroundings to adapt which makes them great at getting what they want and desire. They have their way to people.
Junkyu
■ Capricorn Moon: chill. He’s extremely devoted to his goals and debuting probably meant the world to him, he was probably thinking that if he didn’t make then he wasn’t worth it. Capricorn moons have the ability to maintain a calm/cold face even when they’re panicking on the inside. They feel everything so deeply, it’s overwhelming and emotionally exhausting. And tends to put barriers when meeting new people.
Mashiho, Doyoung & Jeongwoo
■ Aries Moon: playful but not as crazy as some would expect. They have great sense of humor and such a contagious laugh that can put anyone in a good mood instantly. They’re able to take jokes and let go of any bad comments easily. Aries moon have to be constantly doing something or else they feel like they’re wasting time and energy that’s why a lot of people find it hard to keep up with them, they really need to learn to just relax for a second.
Asahi & Jaehyuk
■Virgo Moon: adult babies. They need to feel like they’re doing a great job so compliments mean a lot to them. They can read in between lines and see people’s intentions. So one must be careful with their words and actions. Are constantly debating whether or not their worth it, extremely critical to themselves. No matter how amazing they are, they’ll never see themselves with those eyes. Probably have a hard time expressing their feelings… most likely to have a diary and express themselves better through writing.
Yedam
■ Pisces Moon: sweet. I do think one of the reasons he’s good at everything has to do with his moon in pisces. He just seems to blend easily in any situation. You can tell this boy loves singing and since it’s something that he’s passionate about it, he can get under people’s skin. Pisces moons are very changeable too but they are open about their feelings. They’re imaginative and very creative. You’ll often find them lost in their own world.
Jungkwan
■ Gemini Moon: awaken. Gemini moon are just constantly changing because they need those changes in order to work correctly. One can never keep up with them and they rarely talk about their feelings. They’re even more detached than Aquarius. Sometimes you may feel like they’re not listening to you at all and you’re most likely right. They never stop thinking. Have a tendency to isolate themselves too much.
