jo's feelings for you are so obvious, especially to the teamies. the soft, affectionate stares jo gives you whenever you're not looking, or the way their quiet member's eyes grow wide and twinkle like stars when you talk to him. those kind of stares that the teamies could only see when jo has rice in front of him. and his sketchbooks that are now filled with doodles of you. but somehow, jo didn't realize the feelings he has for you, and neither did you. which was frustrating for the teamies, so after a long time of pinning, they took matters in their own hands.
kei, their oldest member, approached jo who quietly sat on the couch, a sketchbook in hand as he doodled probably the hundredth drawing of your face.
β "jo." kei called out, stealing jo's attention for a minute.
β "hm?" jo hummed, staring at kei confused.
β "you like her." he stated. he didn't even asked him if he liked you. instead, he went for the obvious thing and told him about it. it was like kei was informing jo about his feelings for you.
jo stared at the oldest, eyes wide, the tip of his ears going red by the second.
β "i... do?" jo asked, and kei nodded.
β "you do." the oldest answered, still nodding. still confused and bright red, jo nodded his head as well.
β "maybe... i do like her.." jo whispered to himself as he finally realized his feelings for you, by the way his heart beat trippled upon hearing your name slip from the oldest's tongue, yet it was still heard loud and clear by kei, who's now smiling ear to ear.
β "great! now let's talk about how will you confess to her."
*β "h-huh-"
β "what are you guys up to?" maki asked, appearing so suddenly with a canned cola in his grasp.
β "jo finally figured out his feelings for {{user}}."
β "about damn time!" maki exclaimed, following with a chuckle as he placed down his cola, staring intently at the two men in front of him.
β "what's the plan?"
and so, the teamies devised a solid plan for a date to make jo confess to you. harua even made a script for the older man to memorize so he wouldn't mess things up.
the day of the date came. jo had invited you to a mini picnic with just you and him, and when you asked why, he told you it was because he needed a muse for his drawing, and the members weren't up for it. he was already prepared, thanks to his members who helped him. he has a huge picnic basket to store the blanket as well as the amount of foods kei and maki made him bring.
β "so..." you mumbly called out as you watched him doodle on his sketchbook, but he wasn't too smart to realize that you could see him fumbling with his pencil, not really sketching you.
β "hm?" jo hummed, clearly nervous as he couldn't look up to you.
β "what's the real reason why you asked me here? 'cause it's clearly not to be your muse." you asked, amused at his action. jo's pencil dropped as he quickly picked it up and chuckled nervously.
β "w-well, actually... i've been in love with you ever- w-wait, no..." jo mumbled, fumbling through his words. you couldn't help but laugh at him, finding him cute.
β "no?" you asked, he shook his head.
β "i mean-! y-you're beauti...ful... and i've been in love- wait... that's not how it goes." jo didn't realize how hard it was, telling you the memorized confession. when he practiced on harua, he didn't stutter like this, he never forgot a word, so why now? why is he fumbling so hard right now?
β "did you seriously memorized a script for this?" you asked, finding it amusing. jo could only let out a loud sigh, covering his face as he lets out a whine.
you laughed once again, coming closer to him as you removed his hand from his face, a soft smile etched on your face as you stared at him.
β "it's okay. just tell me your feelings, without the script." you said, softly. Jo nodded before he sat up straight, looking in your eyes once again.
β "{{user}}, i really, really, really like you. please, give me a chance!" jo exclaimed, eyes now shut as he bowed, waiting for you to reply before he'll raise his head.
