Gitchee Gitchee Goo

Summary:

Jihoon has never seen Phineas and Ferb. You can’t let it stay that way.

This is a very specific fanfiction, for a very specific type of person who grew up watching Phineas and Ferb. But either way, I wrote it so I hope you guys enjoy! And if you haven’t ever watched Phineas and Ferb,,,, Just know you are really missing out.

It started out when you realized just how different growing up in Korea was to growing up in America.

Sure, somewhere deep down you realized that Jihoon hadn’t grown up with the same television shows as you, but there were certain shows that had just made your childhood that you had simply assumed everyone had seen.

Like Star Wars or Die Hard, no matter what country you were in, you had at least heard of it.

But when you walked into Woozi’s studio one day, simply stating “hey Jihoon, whatcha doin’?” And he hadn’t understood the reference, it had totally turned your world upside down, and not in a good way.

“What do you mean you’ve never seen Phineas and Ferb?” You asked for possibly the millionth time that day. Jihoon glanced over at you looking somewhat unamused.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t watch those kinds of shows when I was growing up,” Jihoon replied. You sat next to him on the bench and tried to just eat your noodles like the rest of Seventeen were, but you couldn’t keep to yourself.

“But it’s Phineas and Ferb,” you blurted. “What kind of life can you be leading if you haven’t watched Phineas and Ferb before?”

Jihoon looked at you again, his own noodles partially in his mouth, partially not. You scrunched your face in frustration and looked across the table at Vernon.

“You really never showed him Phineas and Ferb? I mean I’d expect it from Joshua but from you? I’m disappointed,” you stated. Vernon only looked moderately offended, it was Joshua who was surprisingly enough the most hurt.

“Hey I watched Phineas and Ferb too,” he grumbled.

“Why does she keep talking about Phineas and Ferb?” Seungkwan asked slightly annoyed. “What is Phineas and Ferb?”

“It’s a children's show,” Joshua explained. You scoffed and crossed your arms.

“It is a staple in every American’s childhood,” you insisted stubbornly. “It’s the best cartoon ever made ever.”

Every member of Seventeen stared at you blankly. You pouted and leaned back slightly. You tried to stay silent, forget about it, but for some reason, you just couldn’t get it out of your head... Phineas and Ferb had been such an important show in your young life, that dating someone who never had the chance to appreciate it just felt... Wrong.

You stared at your noodles, honestly feeling a bit upset, but you didn’t have to feel like that for too long. After only a few moments, Jihoon was nudging you in the side with his elbow.

“Do you want to stay up all night watching it?” He asked. Your eyes lit up.

“Are you serious?” You asked excitedly. He nodded, a small smile crossing his lips.

“If the show is that important to you then I don’t mind watching it with you,” he agreed. You whooped your excitement and wrapped your arms around his neck, planting a kiss on his lips.

“Jihoon, you’re the best.”

Half the boys at the table groaned at the public display of affection, but you didn’t even care.

That night you two settled on the couch at your home, wrapped in a blanket with all sorts of snacks surrounding you. You had so much popcorn already in your mouth that Jihoon had already made three jokes that you ate a lot, which you, of course, countered with the fact that you ate just as much as he did.

You hadn’t actually watched Phineas and Ferb in years. For crying out loud you were an adult now. Your days of pretending to be sick just to stay home and watched Phineas and Ferb all day were in the past.

But when the theme song began to start playing, it was like you were in middle school all over again.

“There are 104 days of Summer Vacation and school comes along just to end itttt, so the annual problem for our generation is finding a good way to spend it... Like! Maybe!”

You began to sing the opening with just as much energy as Phineas and Ferb were on the television screen. You sang to each trumpet blow, blurted out every line that Phineas and Ferb said during the opening and even jumped to the very end break right before the finale of the song.

“Mooommmmm, Phineas and Ferb are creating a title sequence.”

You violently strummed to the last guitar strum in the air and burst into laughter.

“Oh my gosh, you’re going to love this Jihoon!” You insisted excitedly. You slid yourself back into his side, smiling widely. He chuckled softly and kept his eyes on the captions before him.

By the time the first episode had ended he already had questions.

“So these boys-”

“Phineas and Ferb,” you supplied.

“Right, Phineas and Ferb,” he agreed. “They just build crazy inventions and spend their summer days driving their sister wild?”

You hummed and nodded.

“Pretty much. They have really quirky lines and some really fun catchphrases along with it. The show isn’t afraid to make fun of itself.”

Jihoon was silent for a moment, and then he tilted his head, resting it against your head.

“Aren’t they a little too young for that?” He asked.

You giggled slightly.

“Yes, yes they are.”

That made Jihoon glance at you, obviously wondering why that question had made you laugh.

“What? They get that a lot,” you replied. “It’s one of their funny catchphrases.”

“This show seems like it’s kind of everywhere,” he replied skeptically. You nodded your agreement.

“Yeah, it kind of is,” you admitted. “But that’s what makes it so incredible. Somehow it works despite it being totally chaotic.”

“But-”

“Shh, shh pay attention!”

You guys hit, all of the classics. You watched Swintr, the Rollercoaster episode, The Beak, the aglet episode.

With each episode, you fell back in love with every line and every quirky moment.

During “Dude, We’re Getting the Band Back Together” you couldn’t help but sing along to every song, even Jihoon couldn’t help but to tap his foot to “I ain’t got rhythm”.

You guys started watching so many episodes that even Jihoon started to giddily say the catchphrases with you. “Ferb I know what we are doing today.”

He fell in love with Jeremy and Candance, making quips at you asking if she was why you had been so obsessed with him because you learned how to have a crush on someone from her.

“But when I turned around Jeremy was standing right behind me!” You said completely in unison with Candance. “Well, actually he was sitting, and he was a couple of blocks away but he was right there!”

Jihoon laughed, his whole body bouncing with the motion.

“Doesn’t that just prove what I said earlier?”

You responded to such an accusation with a sharp glare, which only made him laugh more. You even had to pause the episode because he seemed to think he was so funny.

“Oh my god, I almost forgot about this episode!” You blurted excitedly. “Phineas says it himself, but they do the Rollercoaster episode again, but with a musical spin.”

“But isn’t the show itself already a musical show?” He asked, furrowing his eyebrows. You laughed.

“Isn’t this show the best? The end dance break is even choreographed by Kenny Ortega!”

“Kenny Ortega?”

“The guy who choreographed Highschool musical, duh.”

By four in the morning, when you would have thought that he would have been tired of watching the show, the two of you were still going pretty strong.

“See it occurred to me that I should be fighting fire with fire. And by fire, I mean Perry the Platypus. And by fire, I also mean Perry the Platypus. It occurred to me while I was on fire,” you rattled off, perfectly nailing the timing on every line that you said.

Jihoon turned to look at you, his eyebrows raised in amusement. You wondered briefly if maybe you had gone too far. You had kept him up till all hours of the night, making him watch a children's cartoon show with Korean subtitles, annoyingly singing along to every song, and randomly blurting out every line that you knew perfectly.

Most people would find that annoying.

“What?” You asked nervously. “Something wrong?”

Jihoon shook his head.

“No, I was just thinking about how cute you are,” he replied. “How many guys can say that they are lucky enough to have a girlfriend so obsessed with kids show that they would keep him up all night?”

“You’re actually quite unlucky. Now that I know you haven’t watched Phineas and Ferb, I also know you haven’t watched Gravity Falls which is another huge tragedy.”

“And here I spent the last few months assuming you were just a normal girlfriend.”

You laughed.

“You silly boy,” you stated softly, patting Jihoon’s head. He rolled his eyes and batted away your hand.

“You about ready to get some rest?” He asked. “I know you are loving this, but it is getting late.”

You went through the checklist silently in your head.

You had watched all the important episodes you could think of and of course you had watched everyone’s favorite episode Summer Belongs to You. There wasn’t really much more to add to this important experience. You wrinkled your nose.

“It was nice to see Meep,” you mumbled. He laughed.

“And now you’ve become delirious,” he said pleasantly. “Let’s get you to bed.”

You got up and shut off the television, watching as the animated characters on the screen turned to black. You sighed happily.

“Thanks again,” you said. Jihoon looked at you, the surprise evident as he hesitated to continue folding the throw blanket the two of you had been using to stay together.

“For what?” He asked. You shrugged offhandedly.

“Watching the show with me. I know that it is kind of dumb-”

Jihoon interrupted you by holding his hand out in front of him.

“Hey, it was part of your childhood. It wasn’t dumb,” he said pleasantly. Your face reddened slightly.

“I love you.”

“I Gitchee Gitchee Goo you too,” Jihoon replied. You laughed, and couldn’t help but think about just how lucky you had gotten, getting to date a boyfriend as great as Jihoon.
