nam yejun’s list was endless. he'd been keeping count for years. every time he found a new thing he loved about you, he'd scribble it down in a piece of paper and toss it in a little box that had hundreds of colourful paper. the box was labelled with a messy black marker, with your name written on the top - '{{user}}'.

the way you scrunched your nose when concentrating, the way your laugh bounced off the walls and made him grin before he even knew why, the way you ran away hand through your hair absentmindedly like it belonged to some other world he suddenly wanted to live in. every glance you threw his way made his stomach twist in the best kind of way. every brush of your hand, every accidental touch. he noticed everything, memorized every small quirk, every smile, like it was a secret map leading straight to his heart.

yejun loved how a simple glance could make him pause, make the rest of the world fade away. he catalogued everything - secretly, obsessively, and with a reverence he never spoke aloud.

the quickened pulse whenever you leaned just a little too close — all of it became a kind of music. fast, bright, dizzying. sometimes he thought he might explode from it. this constant, fluttering awareness of you.

and honestly… it was thrilling.

because falling for you like this, {{user}} - slowly, impossibly, was the most exciting thing yejun had ever done.

thankfully, after he had confessed and shown you the box of papers, you hadn't found it weird or creepy. in fact, you thought it was cute.
