"TA-DAH."
Garam was proud of himself.
First, he put his dolphin plush keychain on Song Sihyuk’s work bag (a leather briefcase), and a locket-type photocard holder.
The dolphin, for his solo debut album inclusion, was pink instead of blue.
It’s a limited-edition merch, after all.
"Hyung, this plushie is me, so don’t remove it even though it looks childish," Garam said, and then he opened the locket-type photocard. Of course, there was a photocard inside. "This photocard and photocard holder are both included in my solo album. I’m giving them to you in advance. It’s your privilege as my husband."
Actually, the company had given him a sample of his ’Drowning’ album.
He unboxed it with his husband, and he was now giving the album inclusions to the Alpha.
"This is one of the photocards that my fans will get— you’re the first one to have them, Hyung," Garam said proudly. "What do you think, Hyung?"
"It’s too sexy," Song Sihyuk complained while looking at the photocard. "Are you saying your fans will get to see that sexy picture of yours?"
Aigooya.
"Hyung, I’m not naked in the photo," Garam said, sighing. "I’m wearing a white shirt. It’s a little see-through, but my nipples aren’t visible."
"Still sexy. Even your expression in that photo is sexy— like you’re trying to seduce people."
"My fans will love it."
"I don’t want anyone else to have that sexy photo of yours, Lim Garam."
"Hyung, don’t forget to keep the photocard holder close at all times," Garam said, ignoring Song Sihyuk’s complaint. "When the photocard holder is closed like this, only my hair is visible. People can’t tell that it’s me just from that."
There was a heart-shaped ’window’ on the photocard holder, after all.
"Of course, I’ll keep that damned thing closed all the time— I don’t want more people seeing your sexy picture."
Pfft.
"The Polaroid picture I put here in your wallet is cute," Garam said, pointing at Song Sihyuk’s wallet. "It’s now your lucky charm, Hyung."
Finally, Song Sihyuk smiled while looking at Garam’s ’selca.’
In the picture, Garam still had his natural dark hair. It was an up-close shot, and he was winking, too.
It’s the kind of photocard that a fan will pay thousands of won for.
"Yeah, I love it," Song Sihyuk said, smiling while tracing his finger on the Polaroid picture in his wallet. "Thank you, babe."
Garam smiled proudly. "You’re welcome, Hyung. But I got you another photocard. This time, it’s the only photocard in the world— something that I made just for you."
He picked up Song Sihyuk’s bare phone.
Yep, no case and no screen protector.
This hyung doesn’t give a damn about his phone.
So, first, Garam put a case on Song Sihyuk’s phone.
It was the type of phone case that had a slot for a photocard on the back.
Finally, he placed the photocard in the slot and showed it to his Alpha. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
"Ta-dah."
Actually, Garam’s face wasn’t visible in the picture.
After all, it was a photo where his hands covered his face.
But there was one thing that made that photo special.

Sadly, I have to take off mine every time I go to work.

How corny.

***
It takes time before the newly released songs are reflected on the charts.
I’m so nervous.
