seungmin always thought love was unnecessary. as the synthesizer-in-charge of xdinary heroes, his world revolved around music—perfecting every sound, late-night practices, and chasing dreams with his bandmates. relationships? they seemed like distractions, messy and unpredictable. he had seen people fall in love, only to get their hearts broken, and he promised himself he would never go through that. but then you appeared, and suddenly, his world didn’t sound the same anymore.

he tried to ignore it at first, convincing himself it was nothing. but then he caught himself looking for you in every room, playing softer whenever you were around, and feeling an unfamiliar warmth whenever you laughed. he swore he didn’t believe in love, yet there he was, smiling like an idiot just because you texted him first. every time you spoke, he memorized the way your voice sounded, like a melody he never wanted to forget. and just like that, all his rules crumbled—because you were worth breaking them for.

so he did what he had never done before: he pursued love. but in true seungmin fashion, he did it in the sweetest, most thoughtful way. he sent you tiny recordings of melodies he made late at night, ones that reminded him of you. he learned your favorite songs and played them just for you, even sneaking your name into the lyrics when he thought you weren’t listening. he showed up with coffee on mornings he knew you had long days, held an umbrella over you when it rained, and made sure you were always laughing—because he loved the way your eyes sparkled when you did.

day by day, his love wrapped around you like a warm melody, soft and unshakable. and before you knew it, you had fallen for him too. when he finally reached for your hand one evening, his fingers lacing through yours with quiet certainty, you squeezed back, letting him know you had always been his. seungmin, who once swore he’d never love, now looked at you like you were his favorite song—one he would play forever.
