monsoon blues
fandom: weak hero
pairing: jimmy bae x gn reader
genre: angst
cw: drink mention
wc: 0.4k
The cold, rainy weather annoyed you. It was too cold to be comfortable with the fan on, yet too hot to be comfortable with it off. You sat in your room, aware of a few tasks you had to get done, but in no mood to do them.
Winter was nicer than the rainy season. It was properly cold, and you actually had motivation to work. You could wrap yourself in a blanket as you waddled around the house. Every so often, a craving for a warm drink would arise, and you'd get up to make tea. Or maybe hot chocolate.
The thought of hot chocolate triggered a string of memories you were trying to escape.
Warm hands, ones that messed up when they made tried to cook or bake, handed you the best cup of hot chocolate you'd ever have. You looked up to see Jimmy adding extra whipped cream to your mug with a wink. He took pictures of you with a hot chocolate moustache, and you tried to do the same to him, but by the time you brought your phone up, he'd already wiped it off.
Even if you had taken pictures, they'd be deleted by now.
The memories played on, leaving an aftertaste more bitter than before.
Cuddling up to him by the fire, taking in each feature of his, clinging to him after a long day. You delighted in the gentler side he showed only in private, in the way he became comfortable with hugs and cuddles, so much so that he was never further than a few inches away.
These were treasured memories of times long past. It hurt to think that they wouldn't come back, and each time you were reminded of them, the pain got worse. Wasn't it supposed to get better, easier with time?
The same scenes of Jimmy played in your head. Just like a movie, they were never fading, and so vivid you might've believed he was handing you hot chocolate one last time.
Only the weather brought you back.
It sapped all your energy. Maybe- maybe you could indulge yourself today. You could let the memories of you and Jimmy play longer than you usually did. Maybe you'd let them take over your thoughts for as long as they wanted. It was a step backwards, you thought, but moving on is exhausting. You didn't have the will to keep trying to forget.
The beckoning warmth drew you closer, and you fell into it, losing yourself in a winter you'd never escape from.
notes: i got a few kudos for this on ao3 so i gained the confidence to post it :D (also, a few mutuals read it and really liked it)

Weak Hero TMI /Trivia:
Chief Mourners: Why did Seokhyeon, Hakho, and Jihoon wear yellow armbands during the funeral service?
SPOILER ALERT
TW: grief, depression, death
DISCLAIMER: I'm not Korean, just learning about their culture.
The yellow armbands around Jihoon (Jimmy), Hakho (Jake) and Seokhyeon (Kingsley)'s arms were the sign that they were the chief mourners of Baekjin (Donald)'s funeral. It means that these three were the substitutes for Baekjin's family in preparing the funeral from start to finish. Theirs was the role that his absent stepfather and/or kin were supposed to carry out.
I'll try to explain to you about their responsibilities. After reading this, hopefully you'll understand why they crumbled and seemingly grew up so fast.
Seokhyeon, Hakho, and Jihoon's responsibilities as chief mourners:
NOTES:
They didn't do it simultaneously since usually there's an agreed upon division of labor among chief mourners of a funeral;
For nos. 3, 5, 6, 7 & 18, since Baekjin, Seokhyeon, Hakho and Jihoon were minors, then per Korean laws the bank accounts that they and the Union used were under their parents' names, and the legal representative was hired under their parents' names too.
Choosing and preparing Baekjin's photograph to be displayed at the funeral hall;
Sending an obituary and/or a death notification to Baekjin's school and to the Union members/related people as soon as his time of death was established;
Hiring a legal representative to be present when Baekjin's personal effects were released before his autopsy started. Since Baekjin had no immediate family and his death was from non-natural causes where autopsy is a must according to their laws.
Being on standby to receive Baekjin's personal effects from said legal representative. Note that this must've been very VERY upsetting to them since these were the things that Baekjin wore on the night of the accident. Just imagine.
Ensuring that the legal representative from no. 3 was present to receive the autopsy reports and photos on behalf of them, usually 3 days - 1 week after the autopsy was performed. The autopsy report for an accident usually look like this:
6. Calculating and paying the expenses to register for funeral, cremation and charnel house (mausoleum) services;
7. Ensuring that everything is taken care of by the funeral & cremation services from there on, including:
The issuance of Baekjin's death certificate (it usually looks like this);
The renting of mourning clothes. These clothes usually look like this (basically what we see in the funeral episodes):
The availability of a funeral hall (complete with condolence money box, incense, floral arrangements etc). The hall is usually located at the basement of the hospital where Baekjin was taken to after the accident, and arranged by the hospital's funeral services that Seokhyeon/Hakho/Jihoon hired;
The availabillity of foods and chrysanthemum flowers provided for mourners during a 3-day funeral service, because Baekjin had no female kin who oversaw this. Note that there are usually several types of foods that MUST be served in a day on tables, like this (usually the minimum is 3 menus):
The availability of a crematorium and a fixed cremation schedule;
The allotment of a charnel house (mausoleum) space for Baekjin's urn and photos, and maybe some personal belongings. Note that for Baekjin to be placed next to his mother, either Seokhyeon, Hakho or Jihoon had to notify the funeral services person(s) in charge who then notified the mausoleum in advance. Later, the persons in charge forwarded their payment of the space to the mausoleum. (EDIT: Or they registered it by themselves and paid directly to the mausoleum).
8. Spending 2 nights and 3 days in that funeral hall for a 3-day funeral service, in the same mourning clothes (if personal bellongings, these were usually later burned or shelved, never worn twice). Note that there's usually no comfortable sleeping arrangement in funeral halls, so they must've slept on the floor on hard pillows and thin blankets for 2 nights;
9. Greeting and welcoming all the mourners during the three 3-day funeral service and ensuring that they signed the guestbook. Note that mourners usually come after school/work hours from 6-11 p.m so Seokhyeon, Hakho, and Jihoon had to finish showering, eating, etc before those hours;
10. Receiving and storing the condolence money. The condolence money is usually placed in envelopes like these:
And the box where these envelopes are stored look like this:
11. Arranging with the funeral services to ensure that there was food and drink for these mourners (since Baekjin had no female immediate family);
12. Receiving any standing wreaths from organizations that are connected. Note that standing wreaths in Korean funerals usually only come from organizations and not individuals, so probably if there was one, it would only be from Yeoil High since all of Baekjin's other contacts were made in an illegal business setting. Standing wreaths usually look like this;
13. Going to the crematorium and attending the cremation process along with select mourners;
14. Receiving Baekjin's ashes in a container (usually an urn purchased through the funeral services);
15. Going to the mausoleum and attending the placement of Baekjin's urn, photos and select belongings in the mausoleum/charnel house;
16. Thanking other mourners properly on behalf of Baekjin's family.
17. Counting the condolence money and deciding what to do with it afterwards other than covering the funeral costs.
18. Paying off Baekjin's personal debts and The Union's (if there was any), and dividing the remaining money and assets (probably needing to hire a legal representative again).
Honestly learning about all of this made me sympathize with Jihoon, Seokhyeon and Hakho more. I sadly realized that in a better time and a better place these three might have been real friends to Baekjin. It's not too late for the three of them yet.
