Taerae was nervous; so nervous that he was pacing around the room like there was no tomorrow. Vocalizing was usually his tactic to get his nerves to calm down, but even then, it was useless. He let out a deep, heavy sigh before sitting down on one of the chairs, lyric sheet in hand. Somehow, Taerae was going to practice at least once (if his nerves stopped making his voice crack) to make sure he didn't embarrass himself in front of the boy he has a big fat crush on.

A couple of run-throughs finally had Taerae feeling calm and somewhat confident again. He knew he wasn't a bad vocalist, but what he was planning to do afterwards was quite literally the most mortifying thing he could possibly do.

Junhyeon walks in a while later, seemingly out of breath due to the long distance between the music room and the dance studio. As the two embraced, Taerae couldn't help but laugh.

"I told you I should've come to the studio instead," he said, poking Junhyeon's arm after pullling away from the hug.

Stubbornly, Junhyeon shook his head in protest. "Absolutely not." He crossed his arms. "I would never let you get tired like that."

"Whatever," Taerae brushed off, pulling Junhyeon by the hand as he walked to the middle of the room. "I moved some chairs so you can have space to dance."

Junhyeon smiled (the most heartwarming smile Taerae had ever seen, and he knows a lot of great smilers) and brought a hand up to Taerae's head, ruffling his hair. "You really think of everything, don't you?"

Taerae could feel his cheeks heating up at the compliment, but he decides to ignore it. "I wouldn't want you dancing in some cramped corner," he simply stated.

Still feeling grateful, Junhyeon blew a kiss before starting the music on his phone. Taerae had always known that Junhyeon was a rather extraordinary dancer, but he felt that this performance (from the snippet that he got) might've been the younger's most impressive one.

"You see that?" asks Junhyeon after bowing in response to Taerae's cheering. "I choreographed that part!"

It was the first time Taerae had heard of Junhyeon choreographing something, and to say that he was impressed was an understatement. For what he assumed was Junhyeon's first ever time making choreography, Taerae was all the more impressed. He springs out of his seat, rushing towards Junhyeon to engulf him in another hug (he was a comfortable person to hug, what could Taerae say?).

"I'm proud of you, seriously!" Taerae exclaims, his wide grin being heard through his words. "It looks really good," he says, lifting his head up from Junhyeon's chest, noticing that his face had become very red very quickly. "Everything okay?"

All Junhyeon did was smile, bringing his hand up to Taerae's head once more, ruffling his soft, brown hair. "Now it's your turn to show me what you got."

With a nod, Taerae sat back down, with Junhyeon taking the seat next to him. The amount of pressure he felt from one singular person had Taerae feeling as if he was sweating buckets, but one quick hand to the forehead quickly dismissed that; he wasn't sweating at all, he just felt hot because he was nervous.

Taerae, after a moment of silence, began to sing, hands trembling as he tightly held the lyric sheet.

"When a man's in love, he wants to stay by your side;
There's always so much he wants to do for you;
When I'm in love, I want to give everything in my life to you;
With just one expectation, your heart;
When I'm in love."

The nerves soon died down, with Taerae squeezing his eyes shut to feel the music rather than feeling Junhyeon's fixed gaze on him.

"How was that?" he asked, his eyes fluttering open as the song came to an end.

"Are you kidding?!" asked Junhyeon in return, reaching out to hold Taerae's hands in his. "That was so good! Like, you're even better than the original version!"

Taerae chuckled dryly. "Not too sure about that," he says quietly, to which Junhyeon (very loudly) protests. "That reminds me, there's something I need to tell you," Taerae eventually gets out, his grip on Junhyeon's hands tightening.

"And that is...?" Junhyeon leans over in suspense, only causing Taerae to feel even more anxious than he already did.

"So, like," Taerae fumbles over his words, trying to properly explain how he felt. "You know those lyrics? Well, when I sing them, I think about you."

The expression on Junhyeon's face is unreadable. It looks like a mix of confusion and doubt, but Taerae couldn't be too sure about it.

Without a response, Taerae takes it upon himself to speak once more. "I like you, Junhyeon," he confesses. "That's what I'm trying to say."

Junhyeon's expression becomes clearer, however, in Taerae's opinion, it doesn't look too good for him. He seems rather surprised at the confession, and the older is suddenly regretting every single decision he's ever made up until that point. Taerae opens his mouth to say something again, but is taken aback by the grin that was now on Junhyeon's face.

"I like you too," he says, happily giving Taerae's hands a gentle squeeze. "So much."

Taerae lets out a breath he was very aware he was holding in for dear life. The look of relief on the older's face makes Junhyeon laugh before he leans in dangerously close to Taerae, hands migrating to his cheeks instead, caressing them softly. After staring for a few moments, Junhyeon leans in further, closing the gap between his and Taerae's lips.
