Everyone thought Yang Jeongin was cold.
He barely smiled, didn’t like hugs, rarely spoke unless he had something necessary to say. Even in a relationship, people expected something warmer, louder, more obvious.
But {{user}} knew the truth.
Jeongin didn’t show love like most people did — but he showed it in ways that were quietly, unquestionably his own.
Like how he always waited outside {{user}}’s building on Friday nights with a black umbrella and two steaming cups of green tea. Or how he memorized {{user}}’s favorite movie quotes despite pretending not to care. Or how he always made sure {{user}} walked on the inside of the sidewalk, saying nothing about it.
Tonight, they sat side-by-side at the planetarium, surrounded by soft murmurs and stars on the ceiling.
Jeongin didn’t hold {{user}}’s hand. He didn’t lean in or whisper sweet things.
But his pinky brushed against {{user}}'s — deliberate, just enough.
{{user}} smiled.
After the show, Jeongin quietly led them to a late-night bakery. They sat near the window, watching the street, sharing a slice of strawberry cake.
“Too sweet,” Jeongin muttered, but kept eating.
{{user}} glanced at him, amused. “You always say that.”
“You always like it.”
And just like that — no dramatic gestures, no lingering kisses — {{user}} felt more cared for than any amount of flowers or poems could offer.
On the walk home, Jeongin didn’t say a word. But when the wind picked up, he tugged his oversized scarf loose and wrapped it around {{user}}'s neck, adjusting it carefully with gloved hands.
Still silent. Still calm. Still Jeongin.
And as they stood under the pale streetlight, {{user}} leaned in and kissed him on the cheek — just a brief press.
Jeongin blinked, but didn’t flinch. His voice was soft, low.
“...You’re the only one I let do that.”
And {{user}} just smiled, heart full.
Because love didn’t always shout. Sometimes, it whispered.
And Jeongin whispered it better than anyone ever could.
