#regardless I think the last line of this is probably my favorite Jules line ever

[kyufilms]

ㅤㅤㅤ ㅤ ⌗ park jihoon ―︎ all an act

synopsis ―︎ in which you’ve never liked park jihoon & he’s never liked you; or so everyone thinks.

genre + pairing + word count ―︎ 1.4k words worth of secret relationship, a little comedy, & a bit of fluff. rival!jihoon x gn!reader, but with an added twist <3

request ―︎ JULES?&%# Could I request smth too?!?!?! I want something likeee enemies in public then lovers in private for Jihoon yk?!?!?!? You could do the rest but no angst! I’ve cried too much this week 😤 thank u 🤭💗

director’s notes ―︎ grammatical errors !! this is once again not proofread lmao. there’s a couple references to my last request, but the junkyu mentioned here is 100% platonic ofc :D when i saw this in my ask box, i felt like i had to work on it immediately because i was inspired :D tbh tho, i feel like i might’ve been too repetitive, and i tried to keep anything angsty to a minimum, but angst is somewhat my specialty, so i’m kinda numb to it & dunno if i missed anything. still, i don’t think it’s anything worth crying over !! i also messed around a little to see if i could get the ‘keep reading/read more’ option to work on this one, but there’s probably gonna be a big gap under the break & idk if it’ll glitch or not :/ minor warning aside,, i hope you like it sachi <3

hate (v.) ―︎ to feel intense or passionate dislike for someone.

if someone were to say that you hated park jihoon, it would be an understatement.

from the moment you met, the two of you had never gotten along. granted, it might've been a little bit silly, considering you first met when you were five years old. you had gotten so upset with jihoon over the teeny tiny fact that he'd broken some of your favorite colored crayons. on the other end, jihoon was upset with you since your kindergarten teacher made him miss recess to write (or at least attempt to write) an apology letter.

regardless, even if it started over the littlest thing, the rivalry between the two of you was fueled by every little conflict you had, and it only seemed to spiral further as you both grew older.

when the two of you were sat next to each other in class at ten years old, you both got detention for three weeks straight after finally making the teacher reach her breaking point.

what exactly pushed her over the limit, you ask? an argument about ice cream flavors in the middle of a class discussion. jihoon went on about how mint chocolate was so great, meanwhile, you argued that it tasted like toothpaste and had no appeal.

when you were thirteen, the two of you were assigned classroom cleaning duty for an entire semester after getting kicked off the debate team. you were supposed to be having a debate about school uniform policies, but somehow it turned into a yelling match with dumb insults being thrown at one another.

when you were sixteen, there was a new teacher who thought that pairing you with jihoon for a project would be a good idea. they didn't realize their mistake until presentation day came, which is when you'd both been bickering about the slide contents in the middle of the presentation. needless to say, you both had to work on extra credit to make up for lost points, and that teacher never paired you again for anything ever again.

when it came to jihoon, you'd go from competing for better scores academically to going against each other for student council. even silly things, like being the first in line, suddenly became a competition to you. that boy simply got on your nerves and vice versa, so it was clear there would never be some kind of reconciliation between either of you.

if someone were to say that you hated park jihoon, it would be an understatement; you despised him.

ㅤ ⇌︎

"look, i'm sorry, but i'm not going to the movies with you, junkyu. not if he's there," you finalized. your best friend had been trying to convince you to go along with him and some of his other friends on a saturday night to see some film that one of them wouldn't shut up about.

in most cases, you probably would've said yes; after all, there was no reason for you to say no.

you had no plans for the night, you finished all the things you needed to do, and you wouldn't even need to ask for permission to go out since you'd be with a trusted friend. you even got along with hyunsuk and yoshi, who'd be tagging along, but there was still a catch.

"please, y/n? it's just a movie. it's not like you'll have to talk to jihoon for most of the night anyways. you might not even have to talk to him at all. he's been bugging me and the guys about seeing it all week."

there he was, the catch. park jihoon; presumably the only reason you'd ever turn down an invitation for a night out with your friends. of course, he had to be the one who wanted to watch the movie in the first place.

"all the more reason for me to not go," you flashed the boy sat at your kitchen counter a sarcastic smile before turning to open the fridge. when you turned to see him frowning at you, you laughed a little, nearly spilling a bit of the water you were pouring into a glass.

"you'll be alone, i'd be a bad friend if i ditched you," junkyu nagged, letting out a small 'hmph' as his shoulders slumped. "maybe i should just cancel on them."

"kyu, it's fine, you know. i don't really care if you hang out with him. you don't need to cancel on your other friends for me," the words were meant to reassure him, though you couldn't help but let out another small laugh at his frown. "i'll be fine, okay? just go. maybe i'll join in another time."

though it took a lot of convincing, you finally got junkyu to leave your apartment and hang out with his other friends. it was quieter when he left, and there you were, all alone to yourself on a saturday night with nothing else to do except stare at your ceiling and space out.

but hey, at least it beat hanging out with jihoon, right?

jihoon, who knew how to push all your buttons. jihoon, who practically always disagreed with the things you had to say. jihoon, who knew exactly what made you tick and, more often than not, chose to use it for the pure purpose of annoying you.

stupid park jihoon and his stupidly pretty face. even the thought of him annoyed you.

ㅤ ⇌︎

it didn't surprise when you got a text from junkyu half an hour later. he was whining about how you should've just gone with him to the movies anyways, because, as fate would have it, jihoon canceled on the others last minute.

you saw it coming, after all. you were the reason he canceled.

not long after the text from your best friend, you heard a knock at your front door, and lo & behold, there he was. park jihoon, your stupidly adorable boyfriend.

"i brought dinner," he grinned, watching as your face lit up at the sight of his presence. he barely had any time to react as you leaned up to kiss his cheek & then took his hand to drag him inside; he could only laugh.

"you're the best, you know that?"

"obviously," he teased, rolling his eyes at you playfully.

the two of you ending up together seemed almost unimaginable, but the universe works in mysterious ways.

well, that, and the fact that he came to apologize to you after the incident with the project when you were sixteen. it was the first and last time one of your little arguments ever actually affected your grades. you don't exactly remember who asked who to work on the make-up work with the other, but that detail didn't really matter when you both realized you had a lot more in common than you thought.

sure, you didn't get along right off the bat. the two of you still bickered for a while after that, but it was never as serious as you previously made it out to be. in fact, you were like that until recently. at some point, it almost turned into playful banter, as if you were flirting; if you could call it that.

perhaps that's where the feelings started. by the end of it, you were just grateful you both felt the same.

"hyunsuk is blowing my phone up because i canceled on them," jihoon said as he took up another spoonful of his mint chocolate chip ice cream. "he says it's almost impressive, considering junkyu couldn't get you to show up either."

"i still don't know how you eat that," you muttered, eyeing the ice cream pint in his hands. "junkyu's been doing the same to me though. i'm surprised they haven't figured it out yet. do you think they're even just a little bit suspicious of us?"

"as if. we've been doing a great job at keeping this act up for the past few months," your boyfriend laughed, rolling his eyes playfully. "do you think we should tell them yet?"

"probably."

"do you want to tell them yet?"

the question made you look back over to him, your eyes studying his features as he waited for an answer expectantly.

in response, all he got was a soft grin from you as you spoke up, your answer being completely irrelevant.

"shut up and kiss me again, idiot."

if someone were to say that you hated park jihoon, it would be an understatement; you despised him ―︎ or so they thought.
