Moans, Groans, bed creaking , skin meeting skin โ those were the noises that filled the silence of your room. Your face was pushed into the pillows , a big hand holding you down by the back of your neck while another hand had a tight grip on your waist โ so tight that you were sure it was going to bruise. Your normally calm and collected Boyfriend kept bullying his cock into your cunt , nails digging into your skin.
โCanโt control myself Love , I feel like as if Iโm losing my mindโ,Jungwon hissed out , the prominent vein on the under side of his cock dragging deliciously against your warm gummy Walls. His hips repeatedly snapped against your ass , watching the fat jiggle with each thrust and he couldnโt help but let go of your waist momentarily just to land a slap on your ass โ a loud moan getting muffled by the pillows coming from you.
โFuck, you like that Love? Your cunt just tightened around my cock , feel like suffocatingโ, Jungwon groaned and bit his lip , slapping your ass once again just to feel your cunt tightening around his hard length. You were so tight , so fucking tight that he hardly couldnโt thrust his cock inside you despite all the foreplay he did. Suddenly he pushed the small of your back down , making you arch your back before leaning down โ his chest against your back and his cock sliding in even deeper , his hot breath fanning your shoulder. His tongue darted out , licking a stripe along your shoulder blade before he suddenly sunk his teeth in.
His thrusts got rougher and faster , his groans turning into melodic moans. Your own moans were getting so loud that not even the pillows helped to muffle them , hands balling up the bed sheets and your body started to twitch from overstimulation as your felt his hand slide between your legs โ rough finger pads rubbing your sensitive little clit. Jungwon was close , so close that he couldnโt control himself anymore โ his mouth switching to your neck before he also bit down there , muffling his moan as his hips stuttered. โAh fuck! Wonnie ~โ, you cried out , thighs shaking and almost giving up to hold you up if it wasnโt for Jungwon grip on your waist.
โWeโre not done loveโฆneed more , need so much moreโ

Ever since you were a child, you've been wanting to own a bakeshop. You remember how you accidentally stumbled into this shop when you tried to hide from the kid who constantly bullies you. Your trembling body and the constant sob that came from your mouth magically disappeared when you saw a bunch of colorful pastries displayed on those shiny glass cabinets.
You recall how the sweet aroma of freshly baked cookies engulfs your small body with a sense of comfort, and the soft jazz music that plays in the background whispers in your ear, easing your fear.
"Why is such a pretty young lady having a sad look on her face?" `You look up to the source of the soft voice, and your eyes settle on the old lady on the counter with a warm, gentle smile on her face.ย You intertwine your little hands and shyly look down.
"I am hiding," you mumbled.
"Hiding?" You nodded. You heard a footstep coming near you, then a gentle hand rubbing your small back.
"Why don't you eat something while you hide?" You look up once again at the lady. You see how those wrinkles stretch with the soft smile she has on her face; that softness somehow brings security to you.
"Cookies?" you said in wonder. The lady let out a giggle when you spoke with sweetness, your eyes twinkling in the process. How can she turn down such a cute lady like you?
"Yes, cookies! And you can also have some of those sweets that we have!" You wipe your teary eyes, then hold the hand of the old lady and let her guide you to the rest of the shop with the widest smile on your face.
At that moment, the little Y/N always finds herself munching on sweet pastries in the old lady's bakeshop. The shop becomes your escape, which eases your worries about the bullies. In return, you try to assist the old lady with baking by simply putting flour on measuring cups, cracking eggs, and sometimes kneading the dough.
However, the shop that had grown to be your safe refuge was lost when the old lady died from sickness. Due to this, the bakery has to be taken down, as no one claims to continue the business. You remember crying for days because of the sudden loss of the person you adored and the shop that became your home.
That event brings blossoms to your dreams of having a similar cozy shop where people entering the place instantly light up their eyes when they are greeted by rows of pastries that you freshly bake with passion.
You looked up to the small shop where there were tables outside, each with a brown vintage-style umbrella with brilliant lighting inside. You smiled when you saw the big signage that left you sleepless for nights from thinking of a perfect name for the shop.
'Sweet Greets Bakery'
As you make your way through the transparent door, a blanket of the sweet smell of baked pastries engulfs your now-grown body bringing back your childhood memories of the old lady's bakeshop. You also smell the roasted coffee beans that saturate the air.
As you grow older, coffee becomes your best buddy every time you pull all-nighters, which becomes endless when you enter college. Drinking coffee also helps you relax your mind while reading your favorite book on weekends, which fuels your growing addiction.
Because of this, you consider offering various coffee and tea drinks that will perfectly match the pastries that you bake.
"Noona?" You looked at the counter and saw one of your employees with wide eyes. You chuckle at his reaction like he has seen a ghost.
"Hi!" You greeted as you joined him at the counter.
"You're back!" He joyfully exclaims and even claps in excitement. A door from the storage room burst open, slightly startling you. You saw two ladies emerge from the room with the same disbelief on their faces.
"Unnie!" You let out a giggle when they engulfed you in a bone-crushing hug. You wrap your arms around the two teenagers and return the gestures while swaying their bodies from side to side.
ย "We miss you!" Narae one of your employees pouted. You playfully flick the girl's head.
"I'm only gone for a week, 'Rae"
"Still" she mumbles while massaging her forehead. You only shook your head at her silliness and reached for the brown cap under the counter that was similarly worn by the three teens.
"How's Switzerland?" Chuwon asked while drying the mug using the table napkin designated for it.
"As usual, loaded with work." You sigh. Owning a bakery is your ultimate dream, and you did achieve it. However, the process of getting you where you are right now is a rough path. You apply for different jobs and dribble tons of tasks to save money for your dream shop, and up until now, youโre still doing it to keep your business running.
And it happens that one of the jobs for which you apply requires you to travel to different places. It gives you a lot of money, so you have no problem with it. Although it somehow makes you feel sad as it lessens your time to spend working on your bakery.
"Did you find yourself a potential Swiss boyfriend?" Seoyun asked while wiggling her eyes, helping you to divert your attention from stressful work. You pulled your tied hair on the hole at the back of the cap and slightly tugged the visor to adjust it in your head before sending the girl a playful glare.
"I have no time for that." A disappointed groan erupted from the three teenagers at your reply. You only chuckle and shake your head while continuing to put on your brown apron. Being the only full-grown adult working in the bakeshop with the civil status of single, your young employees can't help but wonder about your romantic life.
But your reply stands true; you have no time to get into a romantic relationship.
Nevertheless, it does not mean that you will turn it down once you meet someone who captures your heart. You, yourself are a hopeless romantic. The books in the romance genre displayed on the bookshelves at the right corner of your shop say it all.
And if it happens that your 'the one'ย walks someday in your mundane then, who are you to deny. Right?
The sound of a bell chimes in, indicating that someone has entered the shop. You immediately smile and greet the customers with enthusiasm.
"Hello, welcome to Sweet Greets Bakery!" You bowed along with your three employees. You saw the seven young men return the gestures and proceed to the counter while looking at the menu drink display at your back and the pastries on the glass displays. You keep your genuine smile on while waiting for their orders.
You can't help but observe that every single one of them has different fashion styles, which you can easily identify by whether they are into casual style, semi-formal, aesthetic, or just want to wear comfy clothes. They have different tastes, but it seems like they all get along as they are in tune with each other while discussing their orders.
The only similarity they have at this point is that all of them wore facemasks that covered half of their faces.
"Good morning! We would like to order a three-chocolate chip Frappuccino, two iced Americanos, one vanilla latte, and a mint chocolate drink." You nodded at the guy who wore a snapback and quickly punched their order on the monitor in front of you.
"Would you like to add some pastries to match your drinks?" You ask politely. All of them look once again at the glass cabinets where the pastries are displayed.
"Ah, we'll take slices of chocolate and strawberry cake. That's all." You smile and completely place their orders.
"That will be 71,432.91 won." The men look in unison at the guy whose fashion style gives you rich uncle vibes.
The man flinches and then lets out a disappointed sigh while reaching for his pocket. He gives you his black card, and you quickly slide it at the card reader. You heard them all chuckle at the poor man and slap his butt for comfort.
"You can find comfortable seats while we arrange your orders. Thank you!" You gleefully thank them as you give back the card accompanied by a receipt and a small round pager with your two hands.
"I bet they're idols" Narae whispers beside you as you grind some coffee beans. You saw her staring at those men on her tippy toes to get a better look.
"How'd you know?" You wonder. Although you grow up in a country where being an idol is everyone else's dream and exposes people to that kind of industry at an early young age, you seem clueless about it. Guess your mind is so focused on building a bakery that you missed that part as you grew up.
And it seems that you're right when Narae looks at you like you just grew two heads.
"Unnie, look!" She simply gestures at the men who found themselves sitting in a secluded corner, quietly observing the interior of your humble shop.
"They are obviously wearing masks to avoid the crazy media" she pointed out.
"They're seated at the back of the shop, so fans won't notice them." Seoyun chimed in beside you.
"And they chose this small, unfamiliar bakeshop so no one would find their location" Chuwon added. The three squeeze themselves beside you, looking at the men while hiding behind a huge espresso machine.
"They're indeed idols" all of them whisper at you in unison. You shook your head at their silliness and poked their sides, which earned you squeals and giggles.
"Okay, okay. If they are idols, then we need to stop staring and leave them alone." You scold, to which you only receive a playful stick of their tongue before they proceed to help you with the orders.
While filling the cups with ice cubes, you can't help but glance at those men. Chuwon is right; your bakery is still unfamiliar since it is new and has only been running for five months. Although there aren't a lot of customers, you remain optimistic as your business has only just started.
If ever those young men are indeed idols, then you're glad they found your bakery a safe place to hang out, even just for a minute. That's been the main purpose of your shop: to become a safe refuge for everyone, even an idol. With those thoughts in mind, it made you smile throughout the day.
Weeks passed, those young men kept coming back to your bakeshop, to the point that you already memorized their regular orders. Due to this, your three employees become busy browsing the internet to find out which group these mysterious men belong to.
You put both of your hands on your hips when you saw the three once again inside the storage room, gathering in front of your laptop to find the identity of these men during their lunch breaks.
"I told you to quit doing that, you're invading their privacy." Your words fell on deaf ears when they didn't even give you a single glance. You sighed and decided to leave them alone. You proceed instead to stack the single pack of colorful macarons that you made last night.
"Oh my god!" Your head snaps back at the storage room where you hear the scream.
"Unnie, your bakeshop will finally become famous!" Narae squeals once you enter the room.
"What?" Your brows furrow.
"Noona! Those men are hella popular!' "Chuwon exclaims.
"Theyโre Enhypen!" The three shouted. You were startled by their loud voices, which made you put your hand on your chest to calm your beating heart.
"Okay," You calmly respond. "What's the connection of them making my bakeshop famous?" you dumbfoundedly ask.
"Unnie, if people saw them here in your shop, there would be plenty of customers who would come here to see them. And if they came here, they would also buy your delicious pastries because their idols seemed to like them for constantly coming here." Seoyun explains with matching exaggerated hand gestures.
"So you're saying we would expose them that they've been constantly hanging out here to make the bakery well-known?"
"Exactly!" The three of them exclaim in unison like you just announced that you won the lottery. Their faces lit up when you pulled out the sweetest smile you could muster.
"No."ย You flatly said. Their jaws dropped as they didn't expect you to disagree despite knowing that it would help your shop. Just like a light switch, your face suddenly turned serious.
"We're not going to use their vulnerability so we can gain something. Leave them alone and let them enjoy the privacy they have in this shop." You put back your sweet smile.
"If I ever find out that you all still did it behind my back, your vacation leave will be denied." You warned on sing-song and returned to the counter when you heard the chime of the bell.
And it seems that your threatening worked when more weeks passed and those men still went to your bakery without getting recognized or mobbed. You're thankful; however, the three are starting to become their fans that the only topic you can hear from their mouths is about the group's music, variety shows, and concerts.
The slow jazz that was used to play in the background in your shop? It was now replaced by the group's songs.
Although sometimes you find yourself humming and bobbing your head to their music.
But the soft jazz music makes a comeback to your bakery, as today is the start of the exam week. Meaning, the three crackheads are off duty as you did not allow them to work during the exam.
The shop is not that busy, so you have no problem handling the tasks alone for a week. As a good employer, you want them to focus on their studies without worrying about their work shift.
The day went by quickly, and the night sky was quickly blanketed with stars that stretched to infinity. The pale crescent moon started to shine like a silver claw, outshining the bright city lights.
The night just started; however, for your shop, it's closing time.
You often close your shop by 10 p.m., but since you don't have any staff around, you decided to close it earlier as it becomes dangerous for a lone worker to work at a very late hour, which you also strictly apply to your three employees, especially since they are minors.
As you neared the door to flip the 'open' signage to 'closed,' the bell chimed in for the last time. Then a man in his iconic orange hoodie steps into the shop.
"Hi, thank you for visiting, but we're closing early," you sadly informed. The guy's tired eyes flickered with sadness before he nodded and turned around without a word to reach for the door.
You felt your heart squeeze with sadness as you saw how tired his eyes were. Even though his face is hidden with a mask and a thick black beanie, you can practically imagine the dejection on his face. You felt like you had failed to fulfill the main purpose of your shop.
"But if you want, you can stay while I'm tidying the shop" you tried to offer. The man halted his step and looked at you with hopeful eyes.
"Is that alright?" He asked. His voice immediately sends a tingling sensation to your body that you cannot explain. This is your first time hearing his voice, despite him constantly coming into your shop since his friend often order for the rest of them.
His voice is so soft and soothing, yet it sounds very manly.
"Yup, it's not a problem," you quickly reassure him. You heard him heave a sigh and bow at you.
"Thank you." You smiled and returned the gesture.
"You want your usual?" You continued to flip the signage and went to the counter to prepare the food he usually orders.
"Yes, please." You give him a thumbs up and quickly arrange his meal.
Instead of sitting in the back corner, where he and his friends are usually seated, he opted for the table near the counter you were working on. For the first time, he removed his mask and proceeded to busy himself on the phone.
Although the group often visits your shop, they are still cautious about removing their masks; they only do it if the food is ready to dig in. So, seeing him remove it comfortably surprised you a little.
If you remember correctly from the various videos and images that are forcefully shoved in your face by your annoying staff, his name is Jungwon. He is Seoyun's bias, as she claimed that she was captured by his cute but manly features, his adorable yet savage personality, and mostly by being an amazing singer and performer on stage.
A complete package, according to Seoyun.
Even though you cannot confirm any of those claims against the man as you don't know him and don't pay much attention to the group's performances that your three employees are constantly watching, you can totally agree with one thing that Seoyun said.
He is indeed handsome.
"Here's your chocolate chip frappuccino and strawberry cake. Enjoy!" You smile as you serve the food on his table. For once, you saw him smile, and although you could tell it was a tired smile, that still didn't stop his dimple from showing and his eyes from forming into a crescent moon.
You quickly turned around like a soldier in training and tightly hugged the tray in front of your chest when you felt your heart suddenly beating like a horse on a race track. You don't know why your heart reacted to a simple expression, so you tried to shrug it off and didn't make it a big deal.
As you put the cake and pastries back in their respective containers before placing it in the refrigerators to preserve them, you take a quick glance at your only customer for the night.
You immediately stopped in your tracks when you saw him leaning on his knees with eyes closed while pinching the bridge of his nose.
From the look of it, he must have been stressed out about something that made him this exhausted. You felt a wave of sadness as you could practically imagine how tired he must have felt.
You can't help but wonder. 'Is being an idol can be this draining?'
Now, you were pondering whether it would be a good or bad idea to give him a slice of Oreo cheesecake that you baked yesterday to try to cheer him up. Plus, this cake is still not officially on the menu yet, so you can't help but overthink if he will like it or will find you weird as you try to offer him something.
As you paced back and forth inside the storage room while eyeing the poor cake, the bell rang from the counter which is used for the customer to call a staff member. You were startled by the sound and hastily put the sliced cake in the box.
"Done?" You politely ask when you see him waiting in front of the counter. He lightly smile and nodded in reply. You smile and punches his order to the monitor to compute the total of his purchase.
While waiting for the receipt to be printed out, your mind is still trying to contemplate if you're going to give him the piece of cake. You bit the side of your cheek when you gave him the receipt, and he started to make his way to the door. You sigh and give yourself a try.
"W-wait" you called out. He immediately turned around and gently raised his brows at you. You secretly pinch your side to give yourself courage. You left the counter and finally gave him the box.
"I can't help but notice that you seem quite a bit exhausted." You averted your eyes to the floor as you felt yourself getting embarrassed. "H-here's a piece of Oreo cheesecake to cheer you up a little" you nervously said, while slightly nudging the box at him.
"Oh, no. I've been intruding on you too much." He gently tried to refuse your offer. You shook your head and let out a genuine smile.
"Trust me, you did not. You're always welcome here, anytime." His face washes with gentleness, and it feels like some weight on his shoulder has taken off from the sincerity of your words. The softness of your voice made him smile, then he reached for the box and accepted it wholeheartedly.
"The stress has been draining my energy lately, so this will really help. Thank you." His appreciation made you smile and eased your worry earlier. Suddenly, your mind made a suggestion, just like a light bulb.
"Just a second." You quickly made your way back to the counter and tried to reach something on a cupboard with your tippy toes, which made Jungwon chuckle as he found you cute while doing it.
You mentally cheered when you saw the box of tea that you were finding. You went back where he stood and gave it to him.
"Here's a chamomile tea. This might help you relieve your stress." Your thoughtfulness brightens Jungwon's mood and quickly sends a warm feeling to his heart.
"Is there anything I can do to repay your kindness?" he asked. He cannot think of ways to express his gratitude, but if you request something, he will grant it devotedly.
You, on the other hand, were ready to decline and reassure him that he didn't need to do it when something popped an idea into your head once again.
"How about you give me your honest taste review of the cake?"
Ever since your interaction with Jungwon, you've started to get a little bit curious about him and his group.
At first, you just wanted to see current news or articles about them to find some answers about the reason he was exhausted that day. But now, you find yourself rewatching their performance videos on various music shows that Narae and Chuwon showed you before. This time you paid attention, and you got to admit, they are pretty good.
Especially, the guy with similar eyes of an adorable cat.
You can't help but get a little bit excited for their comeback, which is said in one of the newest articles you find about them. You came to the conclusion that this might be the reason behind the stress that Jungwon felt that night.
"Welcome to Sweet Greets Bakery!" You automatically greet without looking up when you hear the chime of the bell. You were so focused on putting the icing on top of the cupcake that you failed to notice a young man that you were just thinking about looking at you with full admiration.
"Would that be on the menu?" You looked up when you heard a familiar voice speak. Your smile immediately made its way to your face when your eyes made contact with his boba-shaped ones.
"Yup!" You put down the bag of icing you were holding and went to the counter where Jungwon was leaning over, ready to take his order. You looked at the back corner and saw his friends already seated comfortably there.
"The usual?" He nodded and let out a chuckle, as he found it amusing how you grew used to their presence. While you're busy punching their usual orders, he can't help but stare at you with softness in his eyes.
That night was the first time he actually paid attention to you. He might be hanging with his members here often, but he kept his interaction with anyone minimal as he didn't want to gain anyone's attention. But now that he got to talk to you, he can't help but regret those times that he could have used to get to know you.
Nonetheless, he was thankful that he made the right decision to go to your shop that night to unwind.
"Can I still have the slice of cake you gave me?" He shyly asked while rubbing the back of his neck. Your fingers stop pressing the items on the monitor, and you look at him with a hint of hope in your eyes.
"Did you like it?" Your question came in whispers, afraid to hear his answer about disliking your cake.
"The Oreo cheesecake was fantastic!" He looked up like he was trying to remember about its taste. "It felt smooth, and the sweetness definitely tasted like home," he praised, then he looked at it with full sincerity swimming in his eyes.
"I enjoyed every bite of it."
As the words hung in the air, the bulletproof shield around your heart trembled. Of course, you had heard compliments before, but none had touched you the way Jungwon's heartfelt words did. His simple compliment tore open a new doorway to your emotions, making your heart flutter like a trapped bird, banging against the confines of your narrow chest.
"So, I was wondering if it can be my usual order now?" He mumbled and lowered his head trying to hide his apple cheeks, which were blazing with redness.
Just like Jungwon, your cheeks are now a deeper shade of red, and your heart is still dancing in the confetti of admiration.
"B-but it is still not yet on the m-menu." You stutter as you put your attention on the monitor once again and slowly complete the orders. You bite your lower lip and look at the young men through your lashes. You tried to suppress your giggles when you saw a sad pout adorning his face.
"Though I can make an exception for you."ย
From the moment you handed him the slice of cake he specially requested. A friendship unexpectedly blossomed, stretching far beyond the typical baker-and-customer set-up. Jungwon, being the leader of a well-known boy group, felt comfortable letting go of his duties when he was with you inside your comfy bakery.
Soon, Jungwon's late-night visits to the bakeshop became a tradition.
"How many eggs should I put in again?" Jungwon asked you, clad in a brown apron similar to the one you were wearing.
One such evening, while you were discussing with him the recipe for your Oreo cheesecake, he suddenly got the idea to let you teach him the process of making it so he could use it as content in his short vlog and impress his Jay-hyung.
And so, you and Jungwon's baking adventure began. Your simple and quiet evening in your shop was now filled with laughter, occasional flour fights, and piles of failed cookies he tried to make. Slowly, you began to look forward to his late-night visit.
"You ready?" you asked him while you carefully took the Oreo cheesecake out of the oven, which he had solely made without your help.
With eyes closed, he nodded in anticipation.
"You can now open your eyes." Once his eyes did, his mouth slowly hang open.
"I made that?" You softly laugh when he eyed his cake with disbelief.
"Yes, you did!" You cheered. The cake really turned out great for his first attempt, you couldn't be even more proud of him. Jungwon jumps with happiness making you giggle.
He raised his hands at you, asking for a high-five, which you quickly reciprocated and clapped hands with him. You thought it was just a brief contact, but Jungwon decided to intertwined his fingers with yours and clasped them tightly.
A wave of unexpected electricity rushes through your veins and sends your heart to flutter.
Every time you spend your night with Jungwon, you always experience this peculiar feeling. Making the fluttering of your heart more frequent and pronounced. These little flutters seemed to build into a crescendo, filling your heart with a strange yet sweet emotion.
"Y-you want to t-taste it?" You quickly removed your hands from his hold and quickly turned around to find some utensils and to hide your flushed face from his heart-melting stares. As you did it, you failed to see how his face filled with disappointment from the lost contact.
Unbeknownst to you, Jungwon was also experiencing the same surge of electrifying waves within him. His insides also fluttered in a way he only felt when he first walked into the cozy, aromatic haven of your bakeshop.
However, this time, the butterflies were not from the sweet baked goods but from a newfound emotion he felt for you.
"Can you send me the cake instead" You halted your action when you heard his request. It was odd, however, you just thought that he wanted to show his members the cake he made. Although you're quite disappointed that you couldn't taste it.
"Sure, when would you like me to send it to you?"
"On February 9." That's three days from now; the usual span of the cake is 4 to 5 days before it expires. The cake will still make it.
"I'll take note of that." You smiled.
The slow jazz music that helped set the mood for your relaxing shop was short-lived when your three staff members returned after the long week of exams and a well-deserved vacation leave that you granted. You were judgingly watching them as they danced to one of Enhypen's songs while they arranged the chairs and mopped the floor.
"Omo! Jungwon is on live!" Your ears suddenly perked when you heard Seoyun exclaim. The two immediately surrounded the girl, who was watching something on her phone. You tried to stop yourself from joining them, as you didn't want to be seen as suspicious for having a sudden interest in him.
Although you somehow did.
You were saddened that he failed to visit the shop three days in a row, and you got to admit that you missed his presence, which slowly became part of your small shop. However, you understand that his job can be a little demanding.
Still, you're slightly thankful that he didn't suddenly show up, as your three staff members will literally scream with enthusiasm and confusion when they see him having a comfortable conversation with you since you never told them about your growing friendship with him while they were gone.
You got a little bit curious behind their giggles, so you tried to sneak a peek from behind them.
Indeed, you saw Jungwon, with a wide smile, having fun talking to his fans. On his back were blue foil curtains with silver balloons around them, while in front of him was the cake he made that you just delivered this afternoon with a cake topper and candles.
Then it hits you.
Today is his birthday.
"Where did I get the recipe for the cake? From 'Sweet Greets Bakery!' They sell the best pastries, yoii~"
You know your heart is in trouble when it automatically flutters like a kite in the wind at the sound of his voice, even if he is away from you.
The unusual skipping beat of your heart when you heard Jungwon's laughter at your dry jokes, the always-fluttering when he listened to you attentively, and the feeling like something was missing when he was away were so unfamiliar, yet they made your heart full of so much happiness and affection.
This realization shattered the protective wall around your heart that you had meticulously crafted. The only one thing that you had never felt before was happening.
You are in love.
You are falling in love with Yang Jungwon.
Eventually, words about Jungwon liking your bakeshop spread like wildfire, sending fans into a frenzy. Your shop, which was almost empty of customers, was now filled with people trying to taste your baked goods, especially the Oreo cheesecake.
It was overwhelming not only to you but also to your three employees, as this is your first time taking so many orders in a day. It is tiring, but it feels like it magically vanished every time you saw the genuine reaction of your customers at every bite they took from the pastries you passionately baked.
It was a long, eventful three weeks, but your heart is grateful.
You were just basking in the quiet surroundings, as you had already closed your bakery and let three teenagers go home earlier, when someone knocked on the door.
A bright smile immediately made its way onto your face when you saw Jungwon in his thick gray hoodie and dark bucket hat waving his hand cutely at you through the glass door.
"What are you doing here?" are the first words that come out of your mouth once you unlock the door.
"I was supposed to visit you earlier, but the bakery is quite busy." He scratched the back of his head awkwardly. "I really wanted to see you, so I came back."
You tried so hard not to put a meaning behind his words, but your heart seemed not to want to listen as it beat like crazy, and it feels like a cage of butterflies has been set free in your stomach.
"W-well, thanks to you, my bakeshop got a lot of recognition." You sincerely thanking him, even though you use it to try to ignore the last thing he said.
Jungwon felt his heart torn into pieces when you brushed off the words that reflected his overflowing affection for you. Yet, his heart is still filled with hope.
"You watched my live?" You were frozen from his question.
In fact, you did. Not the only part where you sneak a peak on Seoyun's phone but the whole birthday live. You personally made an account just to watch the replay of his live that day.
"I d-did" You averted your eyes. "Although it was a replay," you pursed your lips as you felt ashamed of yourself for doing it and letting him find it out.
Jungwon felt his heart jump with giddiness when you showed signs of interest in him.
"Yoi~" He adorably cooed and gently brushed his shoulder with yours. The sound of your giggles from what he did sends butterflies to his stomach.
"Oh, I have a surprise for you!" You exclaim after you remember the gift that you prepared for his birthday, even though his birthday was three weeks ago. You went to the storage room, leaving Jungwon full of anticipation.
Soon, you emerge from the room, holding your present for him. Despite the excitement of seeing his reaction, you were still nervous as it took you so many attempts to make your gift presentable. Plus, it was your first time making this design in your entire baking life.
However, your worries dissipated when you saw his mouth hang open in amazement at the cat-shaped cake that you were holding. You started singing him the birthday song while slowly making your way to him.
As you softly sang, his vision magically became blurry, and the only thing he could see clearly was your pretty face, which was always clad with gentle and genuine expressions. Your soothing voice is like a whisper in his heart that slowly dances and sways to its rhythm.
Those days that he couldn't see you, he felt something was missing. Your smiles, the melody of your laughter, and your comforting presence keep lingering in his mind. The only thing running through his head is to see you and spend his time with you once again.
The three long, agonizing weeks of not seeing you make his heart yearn for your presence, like a parched desert yearning for rain.
From the moment you hand him the slice of cake as an offer to relieve his stress, he knows he is down. Being away from you only confirms his feelings for you.
He is in love,
with you.
"Make a wish," you said after finishing the song. You expect Jungwon to close his eyes as he makes his wish, but your heart begins to race when he looks you in the eye, gazing at you with only a soft and gentle stare.
"I wishโ" He removes your hold on the cake and carries it instead with one hand. Then, his other hand found its way to yours and slowly intertwined them without breaking eye contact.
"โI can spend the rest of my birthdays with you."
A torrent of emotionsโwarmth, joy, and loveโfused together, igniting an electrifying light show within your chest. It feels like a burst of the sparkling fireworks display, not in the sky but in your heart.
You felt his thumb softly draw small circles in your hand, quickly sending tingles through your body.
"My bakery will go bankrupt from sending you birthday cake each year," you joked. Jungwon chuckled and gently squeezed your hand, still looking at you with sparkles in his eyes.
You pressed your palm on his cheek and rubbed your thumb against it with full affection, making him lean to your touch.
"Your wish is granted, Jungwon."
It was like both of your hearts exploded into an incandescent shower of feelings that mingled with the colors of the frosted night skyโa vivid, heart-pumping confetti of joy and love.
You both giggle at the strange way of confessing to each other. Although it was an odd confession, it was enough to convey the euphoric feelings you have for each other.
You and Jungwon's bond, baked and constructed in the 'Sweet Greets Bakery' hearth, had matured into love. From friends, you both seamlessly become lovers, with the love story orchestrated by fate and shared fondness for the bakeshop that brought you two together tying in the sweet, aromatic embrace of love forever.
Jungwon thought that the bakery was the only safe refuge he could have away from the limelight. He thought it was a place.
But it was a person.
You are his safe place.

synopsis ; going off my older fic engraving on my wrist , jungwon is late for a 'date', but you don't suspect the underlying reason behind his tardiness.
pairing ; idol!jungwon x trainee!reader
genre ; fluff, situationship, getting together, oneshot
wc ; 834
Youโre not very sure why Jungwon would ask you out to a nearby cafรฉ just to be thirty minutes late and leave you waiting. But you trust the process.ย
Is it too late to cancel the โdateโ, and go back to the company? Youโre growing incredibly sick of the countless camera flashes directed your way. Of teenage girls, fluorescent bangle bracelets adorning their wrists and idol photocards clasped to their school-bags, coming up and asking for your signature. Is Jungwon late or is he not coming?ย
Your frantic messages go unread even when you check your phone for the millionth time. Itโs not very ideal in the situation, but your mind starts to go into a frenzy. What if something happened to Jungwon? What if itโs my fault, what if I did something wrong? But I canโt have, can I, if Iโm just sitting here waiting for a date?ย
A date. You almost laugh out loud. What are you even thinking? He still hasnโt asked you out and here you are, foolishly believing itโs a date.ย
Date, date, dateโฆ itโs all Jungwonโs fans can think about. Because of their influence, itโs all you can think about too. It doesnโt mean you donโt feel guilty when the thought of Jungwon taking you out crosses your mind, though. Itโs like youโre desperate, or something. The beginning of a scowl prods at your lips โ at fourteen, you vowed never to be the desperate one, after comforting your best friend through a difficult break-up.ย
Sneaking a glance down at his initials on your wrist, you start to contemplate getting up and going for dance practice with your trainee friends instead. Oh, the scolding youโll give Jungwon when he finally answers your textsโฆ heโs going to wish he never even said hello to you, that first day when you showed up to the company, freshly fifteen. What kind of stupid reason for being tardy will he give this time, you wonder?ย
Just as youโve given up on waiting for him and started to get ready to leave, thunder rumbles loudly outside. Whipping your head around to check the only window in the quaint cafรฉ, your heart sinks. Raindrops strike the clouded glass, each one a representation of the shards of panic stabbing you.ย
How are you going to leave now? Youโre never going to listen to the morning radioโs weather forecasts anymore. Next time, youโll be guaranteed to bring a damn umbrella around. This day isnโt going very well for you, is it?ย
While youโre sulking, slumped over your table-for-two hopelessly, you donโt notice Jungwon bursting through the door and coming up to you. He is completely drenched from head to toe, brown cotton trench coat not doing much to block out the rain. A small puddle of wetness forms on your shirt as he taps your shoulder.ย
โSorry,โ he says sheepishly when you turn your head in confusion. โThe line at the bakery was super long.โย
You blink at him, dumbfounded, as he hands you a huge plastic bag with assorted breads. A couple beads of rain drip down the sides.ย
โIโm really craving bread,โ you whine, flopping down onto the wooden ground during one of your breaks. Jungwon pulls the beanie off his head and sits down beside you with a tiny grunt.ย
โBread? Thatโs a really weird craving,โ he teases you, craning his neck to seek agreement from Sunoo and Riki, whoโve joined you that day for dance practice. They simultaneously glare daggers at Jungwon as if saying they donโt want to get involved, and so Jungwon turns his attention back to you. โWhat kind of bread, though?โย
Is what he asks innocently, as if he hasnโt just taunted you for wanting to eat it.ย
โThe one with strawberry paste inside. I havenโt tried it myself, but I heard itโs super go-โย
โIT REALLY IS SUPER GOOD!โ Sunoo slides over and interrupts, truly the foodie of his group. โYou should try the blueberry paste one too! And the new one where they put raspberry bits into the doughโฆโย
You snap out of the memory and unwrap the plastic bag, checking whatโs inside. Sunooโs list of recommendations are all inside, and some extras that Jungwon knows are your favourites. Itโs so out of the blue and sweet of him that it makes you laugh.ย
โThis is why youโre late, isnโt it?โ You mutter, feigning annoyance.ย
He looks down at his shoes, looking ashamed. โMaybe. Sorry if theyโre soggy. I didnโt have an umbrella because I believed the stupid weather forecast this morning.โ And he looks utterly dejected about it.
How cute.ย
โItโs okay,โ you pull him into a gentle hug, patting his back soothingly. โItโs the thought that counts.โย
Take that, delusionalists in the crowd here. Jungwon is mine!ย
โButโฆโ Jungwon moves his head closer to your ear, and you get the eerie feeling something is coming. Youโre proved correct as he hesitates, then whispers lowly, โbut now how am I going to properly ask you out?โย
thanks for reading! if there are any other tropes or members you want me to write about you can send in an ask or comment here~ i'm very bored so i'll write pretty much anything sfw

โผโขโขโโโโโขโขโผโกโผโขโขโโโโโขโขโผโฅ๏ธโผโขโขโโโโโขโขโผ
โ ๐๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ก๐ ๐๐๐ฆ ๐๐ข๐ข๐๐๐๐ฆ ๐๐ข๐ฅ ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ ๐ง๐ข ๐ช๐๐๐ฅ- thereโs no time in the world jungwon finds you more beautiful than when youโre wearing his hoodies. The sight of his oversized cloth dangling from your shoulders and covering upto your thighs never fails to make the butterflies in his stomach run wild and his heart beat abnormally against his ribcage, threatening to escape. When you pair the outfit with a messy bun and remain bare faced, jungwon blushes so much and finds you to be the most beautiful girl on earth. He gets domestic thoughts- of being able to live together with you so you could wear more of his clothes and he could see this heavenly sight daily but ofcourse he will keep it low-key. He smiles so brightly and his cheeks become rosy, and he secretly makes it his mission to leave more of his hoodies โaccidentallyโ at your place, in the hopes of catching this breath taking sight of you in his clothes sometime again.
โ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ก๐ ๐๐ฆ๐๐๐๐ฃ ๐ข๐ก ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ๐ฅ ๐๐๐ฃ- resting his head softly on your lap, jungwon unintentionally dozes off a lot from tiredness of the long day. He doesnโt always mean to fall asleep, but the comforting feeling of your thighs under his head makes him feel really relaxed. The sight of his angel face resting on your lap always makes you melt, and leaves you brushing his soft hair with your fingers and occasionally pecking his handsome face. You kiss his forehead, his nose and his cheek in his sleep, hoping he would meet you in his dreams and feel your overbearing love for him. <3 most times, he falls asleep while subconsciously holding your hands inside his that make him feel so secure and safe.
โ ๐๐ฆ๐๐๐ก๐ ๐๐ข๐ฅ ๐๐ข๐ข๐๐๐ฌ๐/๐๐ข๐ข๐๐ก๐๐๐๐ง ๐๐๐ฆ๐ฆ๐๐ฆ ๐๐ฅ๐ข๐ ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ ๐ฆ๐๐๐๐ก๐ง๐๐ฌ- jungwon feels way too bashful to ask for kisses from you but at the same time he doesnโt wanna leave for work or go to sleep without getting goodnight/goodbye kisses from you. Thus, he will always make silent attempts- tugging at your sleeve softly and looking at you with innocent and needy kitty eyes to pass his message. He makes โ๐ฅบโ face and even takes your hand and places it in his cheek or lips, as a sign that he wants his kissy there. And when heโs too cute like this? Thereโs no chance of resisting him so you end up giving him many kisses at once. That too, over his whole entire face that causes him to retreat under the blanket from overflowing shyness.
โ ๐๐๐๐๐๐จ๐๐ฆ ๐๐ก๐ ๐๐จ๐ฅ๐ฌ๐๐ก๐ ๐๐๐ฆ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ก ๐ง๐๐ ๐๐ฅ๐ข๐ข๐ ๐ข๐ ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ๐ฅ ๐ก๐๐๐- jungwon and backhugs go hand in hand. He freezes when heโs trying to hug you from the front bc the moment your eyes lock, he loses his mind. So, from the back when youโre unaware, he walks into the room silently and drapes his arms around your stomach and rests his chin on your shoulder. He loves to bury his face in the crook of your neck and just breathe your scent in- because itโs so comforting to him to just feel your presence and bask in it. No matter what heโs feeling, being close to your body and nuzzling in your embrace heals him from within.
โ ๐๐๐ฆ๐ฆ๐๐ก๐ ๐ง๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐ข๐ ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ๐ฅ ๐๐๐ก๐๐ฆ- kissing your hand has become his reflex action. The reflex action to loving you if that makes sense. It doesnโt matter even if heโs scrolling through his phone or watching a movie, one of his hands will be interlaced within yours and he will play with your hands and bring it close to his lips to kiss it. Sometimes, heโs so adorable that he does it when heโs half asleep. His sleep gets disrupted and with half lidded eyes, he will search for your hands and kiss the back or knuckles softly before falling back asleep again. <3 :โ)
โ ๐๐ก๐ง๐๐ฅ๐ง๐ช๐๐ก๐๐ก๐ ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ๐ฅ ๐๐๐ก๐๐ฆ ๐ฆ๐จ๐๐๐ข๐ก๐ฆ๐๐๐ข๐จ๐ฆ๐๐ฌ-jungwon loves the pure act of holding your hands sm that he will even have your hands intertwined in public. Or infront of the boys but once he realizes what heโs doing and earns teasing glares, he will jolt and move away from you in a flash. ๐ณ he gets blushy and scratches the back of his neck awkwardly but when youโre in private again, he will take your hands back inside his. When youโre cooking In the kitchen or doing your assignment or studying, it does not help your situation cause you will always find one of your hands inside his. He finds this act really innocent and it connects you two close together always so he prefers that 24/7.
โ ๐๐จ๐ฌ๐๐ก๐ ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ ๐๐๐ ๐๐ฅ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐ ๐ฅ๐๐ง๐จ๐๐- are you even dating yang jungwon if yโall donโt get ice cream EVERY WEEK? He loves ice cream, you love ice cream and yโall love eachother so itโs a ritual in your relationship. Like little kids running behind ice cream trucks from excitement, you and boyfriend run after ice cream stalls and eat them all the way back to your home while linking arms! <33 itโs your comfort food and lightens your moods all the time.
โ ๐ฆ๐๐๐๐ฃ๐๐ก๐ ๐ช๐๐ง๐ ๐๐๐ฆ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐จ๐ฅ๐๐๐ ๐ข๐ก ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ๐ฅ ๐๐๐๐ฆ๐ง- jungwon might be someone whoโs not very clingy or cheesy romantic and heโs very kinda against pda, but behind closed doors the scenario is totally different. HE IS YOUR BABY. >.< a smol babie who loves to be held, to be kissed, to be showered with love and praises. Heโs obviously not gonna admit it, but he loves affection. Thus, all the time you find him laying his head on your chest and his hands and legs wrapped around you tightly. Heโs very playful sometimes and tickles your neckline with his hair and..even kisses there intimately ๐ณ to make you go i n s a n e. Heโs so smug everytime he can make you blush, istg. ๐โก
โ ๐ฃ๐๐๐๐๐ก๐ ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ๐ฅ ๐๐๐๐๐ฃ๐๐๐ ๐๐ข๐ฅ ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ- jungwon is very considerate, caring, responsible and is always trying to help you and take care of you in one way or another. So, he will definitely pack your bag for you that be for college or for work and leave all your essentials there carefully. Heโs also gonna sneak in some of your favourite snack bars in case you need them to make you smile and lend you some energy! <3
โ ๐๐ฆ๐๐๐ก๐ ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ ๐๐ ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ ๐๐๐ฉ๐ ๐๐๐ง๐๐ก ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ๐ฅ ๐ ๐๐๐๐ฆ- he is the one who is always checking up on you and makes sure you remain healthy. So no matter how busy he is, heโs gonna sneak in a text or a call just to ask you if youโve eaten your meals yet or not. Heโs such a sweetheart, you have no idea. :โ)
โ ๐๐ข๐ญ๐ฌ ๐ ๐ข๐ฉ๐๐ ๐ก๐๐๐๐ง ๐๐๐ง๐๐ฆ- jungwon LOVES watching movies and drama and when that is paired with the love of his life, itโs like a dream come true for him. He snuggles you like his personal plushie on the couch, and with a bag of snacks he sits down to watch movies with you for hours. Heโs gonna be so excited about these favourite moments together that he might even feed you and shower you with kisses thatโs so unlike himself. Babyboy is awfully giggly and happy the whole time. Donโt even move please, just remain there inside his arms and be his partner!! >.< <3
โ ๐ก๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ฆ๐ฆ๐๐ฆ & ๐ง๐๐๐๐๐๐ก๐ ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ๐ฅ ๐ก๐๐๐ ๐ช๐๐ง๐ ๐๐๐ฆ ๐ก๐ข๐ฆ๐- jungwon is low-key obsessed with kissing your neck. That be just soft innocent pecks or steamy kisses in your most sensitive areas, anything works for him. ๐ซฃ he loves to trace his wet lips along your collarbones and let his mouth linger on your skin a little longer than needed to make you shiver from his action. When heโs feeling himself, he likes to suck areas around your neck and let his kiss deepen and linger on your flesh but all of his kisses usually end with him laughing and tickling your neck with his nose. Heโs a mischievous little brat so his romantic side only lasts about 5 seconds lol. But those 5 seconds are enough to burn you to ashes with temptation and greed. ๐ซฆ
โ ๐๐๐๐๐ก๐ ๐๐๐ฆ ๐๐๐ก๐๐ฆ ๐๐ฅ๐ข๐จ๐ก๐ ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ๐ฅ ๐๐ข๐ช๐๐ฅ ๐ช๐๐๐ฆ๐ง- this is one of his hottest habits I swear. Draping his arms around your lower waist tightly and gripping your hips to bring you close to his face and kiss you. He moves his hands around your waist so seductively, in such a possessive and romantic manner that the gesture leaves you breathless and panting for extra air in your lungs. ๐ณ
โ ๐๐ฌ๐ ๐๐ข๐ก๐ง๐๐๐ง๐ฆ- you know the kind of gaze that burns through the layers of your skin and burns you alive? Thatโs the kind of intimate and intimidating gaze jungwon has. Itโs like his beautiful eyes can speak to you, they deliver to you all the love confessions his heart has for you but his mouth doesnโt speak. His eyes also deliver for you his want and desperation, his longing to hold you close and dear to him all the time. Eyes are windows to the soul, and you know exactly what you mean to him the moment you look inside those starry eyes.
โ ๐๐ฅ๐จ๐ฆ๐๐๐ก๐ ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ๐ฅ ๐๐๐ฃ๐ฆ ๐ช๐๐ง๐ ๐๐๐ฆ ๐ง๐๐จ๐ ๐- yang jungwon loves to tempt you. Loves to see you make a move or initiate any kind of skinship. But even more so, he loves your lips so much. He finds them so plush and pretty and most times, he canโt avert his eyes from your mouth. Thatโs why he strokes them in gentle motions with his thumb from blind awe and admiration. His breaths become paced and eyes become hazy, and heโs leaning in closer to your face and just taking in your beauty till it fills up every cell inside him.
โ ๐๐๐ฆ๐ฆ๐๐ก๐ ๐ง๐๐ ๐๐ข๐ฅ๐ก๐๐ฅ๐ฆ ๐ข๐ ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ๐ฅ ๐๐๐ฃ๐ฆ ๐ง๐ข ๐ง๐๐ ๐ฃ๐ง ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ- it boosts jungwonโs pride sm when you express first hand how much you crave for him, especially when itโs his kisses youโre whining for. He will kiss you along the sides of your mouth but never on your lips directly, just to watch you frown displeasingly and pull his collar and kiss him of your own accord. He finds it super cute and just liquifies right then and there. The type to start giggling in between the kisses when that happens! ๐คญ
โ ๐๐๐๐ก๐๐๐ก๐ ๐๐ง ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ ๐๐ฅ๐ข๐ ๐๐๐ฅ๐ข๐ฆ๐ฆ ๐ง๐๐ ๐ฅ๐ข๐ข๐ - since heโs someone who doesnโt get touchy with you, he stares at you like a lovesick person whenever youโre in one place. He smiles at you, but most of all looks at you like a person whoโs struck by your beauty like lightning. Wide eyes, rosy cheeks, and mouth agape.
โ ๐ฃ๐ฅ๐๐ฆ๐ฆ๐๐ก๐ ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ๐ฅ ๐๐ข๐ฅ๐๐๐๐๐๐ฆ ๐ง๐ข๐๐๐ง๐๐๐ฅ- jungwon loves cupping your face with both his hands and press your foreheads together lovingly. He closes his eyes and just lets your breaths intertwine. Itโs such a soothing and pure act that it leaves your heart fluttering for decades.
โ ๐ฃ๐๐ก๐ก๐๐ก๐ ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ๐ฅ ๐ช๐ฅ๐๐ฆ๐ง๐ฆ ๐๐๐๐๐ก๐ฆ๐ง ๐ง๐๐ ๐ช๐๐๐- jungwon and his hot romantic boyfriend agenda. He loves pinning your wrists against the wall or whatever surface is behind you to kiss you deeply and pass over his silent dominance over you. You belong to him and him alone, and his actions prove that in every way. The way he wraps his fingers around your wrists make you feel weak in the knees. When you guys argue over something, he does this too, just randomly pushes you against the wall and brings his face closer to yours and goes like โyeah now continue.โ cause he KNOWS what heart-damaging effect he has on you.
โ ๐๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ก๐ ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ ๐ก๐ข๐ง๐๐ฆ- youโre bound to find tiny love notes folded inside your bag, inside your phone case and sticky notes stuck to your bedside lamps. Jungwon finds it hard to verbally say it out loud what you mean to him so he writes small love notes to give you reminders about his love. Mind you, they wonโt be really cheesy and the loving words would mostly be scribbled lmao bc he cringes hard (yeah very yang jungwon style of affection haha)
โ ๐๐๐ฆ๐ฆ๐๐ก๐ ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ๐ฅ ๐ฆ๐๐ข๐จ๐๐๐๐ฅ- jungwonโs most intimate type of kisses are the ones he plants on your bare shoulder. He loves to kiss the place beside your collarbone so much that he might even pull down the material of your sweatshirt or top just to land a soft kiss with his plush lips. Heโs always tugging your tank top straps and pulling them down momentarily to kiss the sweet spot and even brushes his nose against your sensitive skin only to shower the place with kisses again. He finds it oddly comforting and will always reach out to kiss that place on your shoulder first. His mouth lingers on that place way more than needed, his soft lips tracing up and down to every inch and cranny.
โ ๐๐๐ข๐ช๐๐ก๐ ๐๐ก๐ง๐ข ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ๐ฅ ๐๐๐ฅ- he loves blowing into your ear to catch you off guard and tease you. You will be studying or doing a chore and he will show up outta nowhere and blow inside your ear and laugh at the way you get goosebumps. He is laughing and running around the house now, with you chasing him for revenge!!
โ ๐ง๐ฅ๐๐ฃ๐ฃ๐๐ก๐ ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ ๐๐ก ๐๐๐ง๐ช๐๐๐ก ๐๐๐ฆ ๐๐๐๐ฆ- yang jungwon and his ocassional clingy era ๐ฎโ๐จ he is NOT a clingy person but when he is, he doesnโt even let you MOVE because he has his legs wrapped around you, holding you tightly in place with him. You wanna go grab your charger? No. You wanna get up to drink water? NO. I mean nothing you do can make him remove himself from you, heโs attached and glued to you ๐ฅบ๐๐ป๐๐ป and nuzzling inside your warmth like a lil baby kitty, so what can you even do now except for let him cling to your body? >~<
โ ๐ฆ๐ง๐๐๐ ๐ฌ ๐๐๐ฆ๐ฆ๐๐ฆ- this is what totally happens when he comes back home from a long tour around and has missed you like crazy. Your once in a blue moon opportunity, with intense, heating kisses of his sheer dominance and needy love. Your wrists pinned above your head, his body pressed to yours tightly and his mouth totally inside yours. His lips burning with fierce passion and his tongue darting over your lips and inside your mouth, making you feel weak in the knees and unable to maintain your posture. Thatโs the kind of kisses he ends up giving you sometimes, the ones that leave you panting for air, begging for more. Where only yang jungwon and yang jungwon alone exists in your world and everything else completely wipes out.
โ ๐๐จ๐ฌ๐๐ก๐ ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ ๐๐ข๐๐ข๐ฅ-๐๐ข ๐ข๐ฅ๐๐๐ก๐๐ง๐๐ ๐๐๐ข๐ง๐๐๐ฆ- jungwon will definitely buy colour co-ordinated clothes with you. Especially the colours baby blue and beige. He would love to go out with you wearing similar coloured fits and have the feels of a romantic couple. He smiles so much at you and stares at you more than usual and just blushes blushes and blushes everytime he looks at you two in the mirror. Will go out of his way to even compliment you a lot.
โ ๐ฆ๐ง๐ฅ๐ข๐๐๐ก๐ ๐๐๐ฆ ๐๐๐ก๐๐ฆ ๐จ๐ก๐๐๐ฅ๐ก๐๐๐ง๐ ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ๐ฅ ๐๐๐ข๐ง๐๐๐ฆ- mhmm so this. I feel like heโs gonna develop a habit of sneaking in his hands underneath the material of your clothes just to caress your bare flesh with his palms and fingers, especially your tummy and waist areas and your thighs. He loves the feel of your exposed, raw skin underneath his touch, the warmth of your body seeping inside him with every stroke. Heโs gonna even sleep with his hands placed securely around your tummy for a good nightโs sleep and even sweeter dreams. ๐คญ
โ ๐๐๐๐ก๐ ๐ฃ๐ข๐ฆ๐ฆ๐๐ฆ๐ฆ๐๐ฉ๐ ๐ข๐ฉ๐๐ฅ ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ- is he even yang jealous jungwon if he isnโt possessive over you?๐ oh pls he gets so low-key jealous everytime youโre mingling with anyone more than needed. Cause this boy is already frowning and glaring at them displeasingly and trying his best to come up with an excuse to steal you from them. Will deny being jealous if you confront him and kiss you to shut you up huh. ๐
โ ๐๐๐ฆ๐ฆ๐๐ก๐ ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ ๐๐ก ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ๐ฅ ๐ฆ๐๐๐๐ฃ- this is 100% his thing. It goes without saying that heโs bashful to initiate kisses with you, so when youโre asleep he can do that with ease. Heโs totally the type of boyfriend who loves to lay down beside you and just admire your beautiful resting face and fall in love with you more during the process. Tucking the loose strands of your hair behind your ear and brushing your cheeks and jaw with his fingers before placing a gentle kiss everywhere on your face including your eyelids. When youโre deep in your sleep, he even whispers I love yous in your ear out of overbearing love. ๐ค
โ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ก๐ ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ ๐ก๐ข๐ข๐ก๐ ๐๐๐๐ฅ๐ง๐๐๐ฌ (If youโre older than him)- this is completely self explanatory for me, but if youโre older than him and yโall dating, he would love to flirtily address you as โnoonaโ in his raspy voice to make you blush and stutter. Especially if he knows how much you love him calling you that. This brat does it right in your ear with an intentional low voice to send chills down your spine. ๐ณ

He held the camera up and took a picture with you. While you air cupped his cute cheeks (cause your respectful) and did a kissy face near his cheek.
Oh how much he wished you would actually kiss his cheeks
He grabbed a pen and signed the polaroid before handing it back to you.
You were so excited you didnโt even realize jungwon โaccidentallyโ took a polaroid of you. Quickly shoving the polaroid in his pocket.
He fr thought he was slick with it๐ cuz not even 10 minutes after the send off ended videos and pics of him admiring you was all over Twitter
Especially when ppl saw him shove a polaroid pic of you in his pocket
Engenes was crazy about it and spammed your insta comments with like โJUNGWON HAS A POLAROID OF YOU!โ , โgot THE Yang jungwon staring at her๐โ , โIโm not even surprised sheโs so pretty..โ ETC.

Cuz he wanted to keep admiring your gorgeous features
Niki was filming him playing around with the cats but he noticed sunoo wasnโt even focusing on the cats atp๐ญ
His eyes was on you and the fact he had a little blush on his face after realizing his pc was behind your phone
You were so focused on the cute cat you didnโt even realize your own bias was staring at you๐

But after awhile you felt like someone was staring at you and when you looked up you saw him
You were flabbergasted like the guy behind your phone is in front of you?
Like What In the what? You fr thought this only happens in fantasy words
But you both smiled at each other and before you know it the cat that was on your lap walked over to sunoo
You were kinda upset cuz you felt a special bond with the cat that had now BETRAYED YOU but watching sunoo play with the cat made you smile
โSorry for stealing your cat.โ JGSGHHVNRG YOUR BIAS JUST TALKED TO YOU?
You were freaking up and told him is alright before sipping on your drink
After a few minutes you decided to go visit the dogs. Of Course you were sad cuz you didnโt get a pic with sunoo but you want to be respectful.
Before you step out of the cafรฉ you noticed sunoo walking towards you
โWill you be back anytime soon?โ
โI actually own this place.โ
Jackpot. His next few en-log would be at the same location now๐
The type to have a secret insta acc and following your cafรฉ to keep up with it

โ โ โฐ โ โง โ โ โ
โ โ
โNoona! f-fuck that feels so good!โ
โShh wonie we donโt wanna get caught.โ
Y/n whispered against his neck sucking on the flushed skin, her strokes not slowing down one bit. Jungwon cursed himself for getting in this position, he explicitly told her to wait after they were done with the show but she was just too good at getting what she wanted. The way she batted her cute eyes at him and pouted her glossy lips was all it took for him to pull her into the small crowded closet. Leaned against the door, head thrown back in pleasure with her hand inside his pants, stroking his hard cock all while kissing on his neck. They only had a few minutes before they were called on stage to perform, yet he wanted her to also receive some type of pleasure from this make-out session. So grabbing her by the waist Jungwon turned them around so she was now leaned against the door instead of him, โwha- I want to make you feel good too pretty..โ he cuts her off, placing his lips on her, returning the kiss she wrapped her arms around his neck pulling his body closer than it already was.
Moaning when he stuck his tongue inside her mouth she broke into a smile, she was happy being with him. Whether they were having sex or just hanging out at their dorms she loved his presence. โWhy are you so smiley noona? hm?โ he asked, pulling away from her lips and slowly getting on his knees. Watching the way he kneeled on the floor and bunched her skirt up to her waist made her press her thighs together. Clicking his tongue in disapproval he separated her legs to give him access; he began placing open mouthed kisses between her thighs. Y/n whined at the feeling of his lips on her skin, they were so close yet so far from where she needed him the most. โWon..โ she groaned out of frustration, thrusting her hips towards his face but he immediately held her down.
With his free hand he pulled down both her safety shorts and underwear, wasting no time to place his lips on her. His tongue sliding up and down her lips to give himself a taste โMhmm, taste so good!โ he moaned against her, sending vibrations of pleasure throughout her whole body.
Itโs like Jungwon was born to eat pussy, he knew exactly how to make her cum so hard with his tongue it's fascinating. The first time heโd ever gone down on her she had to lay there and just think about what had just happened with her legs violently shaking. It was crazy.
Wrapping his lips around her clit he began sucking at a slow pace, enjoying the way she whined and started moving her hips against his lips. Jungwon let her do her thing for a few more seconds before wrapping his arms around her thigh and squishing his face into her core. Humming from the sweet taste of her arousal that gushed from her hole โFuck! Won right thereโ just like that!โ she moaned. Pulling away from her clit he slid his finger into her wet hole, his dick twitching at the feeling of her warm gummy walls sucking his fingers in perfectly. โSuch a pretty pussy..โ he cooed, looking up to see her staring down at him with hooded eyes and gaped mouth. Without looking away he leaned down and placed a small kiss on her swollen clit before wrapping his lips around it and sucked while the pace of his fingers sped up.
Y/n felt her legs wanting to give out, the pleasure being too much to be able to hold herself up. The knot in her stomach snapped, her orgasm crashing through her body like a tidal of waves. Jungwon removed his lips from her clit but continued to move his fingers to ride out her high, when he felt finger wrap around his wrist he knew it was too much. Her heavy breathing was all that was heard inside the bathroom, a thin layer of sweat created on their skin โYou okay?โ he asked once he was in full stance, brushing away the damped baby hairs that stuck to her forehead. She nodded, swallowing the small lump of spit that had formed in the back of her throat. Suddenly remembering she looked down and see the very prominent hard on he had โDo you still need hel-โ
โY/N?โ
โJUNGWON? WHERE ARE YOU GUYS?โ
Their eyes widened hearing their manager's voice. Fuck how much time had passed?

wishlist โ yang jungwon. best friends to lovers. fluff.
synopsis. jungwon doesnโt understand why you wonโt just tell him what you want for your birthday. clueless and determined to give you the best present, jungwon is left at a crossroad. instead of getting it wrong, he might justโฆ confess? (7.1k words)
note. since 2022 is ending, i only saw it fit to write something for my bias based on my spotify wrapped top song. drum roll please โฆ wishlist by txt! i have also missed writing for jungwon so i hope this is good!
I. 30 days before d-day
Yang Jungwon would like to think his meticulous 15-step plan for your birthday was going perfectly.
Despite still having a month until the celebration, he had prided himself in his preparations. A surprise birthday party should always be in order for his person where he can quietly hide his feelings, yet show them at the same time โ through platonically giving you a bouquet of your favorite flowers, and writing a lengthy letter on how much you mean to him as a friend.
It is your birthday anyway, and he thinks you need to be reminded everyday of how loved you are. Nevermind if his love has seeped past the boundaries between platonic and romantic. You didnโt need to know that.
So, with 14 steps down his plan, heโd like to think it was going perfectly.
He has gone back to the venue thrice the past month to double check if his reservations went through, he has made sure to tell all your friends to free their schedule for your celebration, he has ordered your favorite cake with the exact proportion of icing and cake (just how you liked it) โ just step after step to make sure you had an unforgettable birthday.
Yang Jungwon would go through all the trouble again and again to make sure youโre happily fixed in a golden daze on your special day, and maybe for the rest of the days after that too.
But something was bothering Jungwon, almost like an itch he couldnโt scratch. An itch that had spread through his whole body, and he didnโt think any form of medicine could ever remedy him. It had started out as a small bother and grew into an overwhelming rash.
He has the โ15th stepโ to thank for that. Your birthday present.
It was never easy shopping for you. Even during Christmas, you would happily tell him you didnโt really want anything. You were very much satisfied with your life right now, with the friends you had, and you wanted nothing more than to create memories forever captured in the lense of your cameras and engraved in your memories to look back on when you were older.
While it was a sweet answer, Jungwon was not having it.
Heโs been discreetly trying to get an answer from you for months to no avail. All he ever gets from you is a laugh, and an annoying โguess!โ. But, he knows thereโs something you want. Deep down and hidden behind your sweet laughter was something he knew youโve been wanting for a while.
Yang Jungwon prides himself in knowing you like the back of his hand. With each other, thereโs an absence of needing to pretend because you know you understand each other very well. He knows you as if youโre a reflection of himself. He has drunk up your movements enough to know how you feel with a single flick of emotion.
When your legs start to bounce a little, he knows youโre feeling a little nervous. When he finds you chewing on your bottom lip, he knows youโre deep in thought.
So, when he asks you what the best present to you would look like, he doesnโt miss the glint in your eyes.
You know exactly what you want, and Jungwon doesnโt understand why you wonโt just tell him.
โHyung, I know thereโs something she wants. You donโt understand!โ Jungwon is whining about you again. Jay is no longer bothered. He has learned long ago that being friends with him came with the consequence of him never shutting up about you.
It was funny how Jay practically knew everything about you before even meeting you. Your favorite color, what your go-to-drink was at cafeโs, your favorite fast food chain, even little mannerisms like how you curl your lips when you concentrate enough. Jungwon unknowingly slips pieces of information about you in everything that he does.
Jay buys him Mcdonalds? Best believe heโs sharing about the time you had both gotten a happy meal the night of his birthday a few years ago. Jake brings over Layla? Jungwonโs talking about Maeumiโs particular soft spot for you.
Jayโs eyes twinkle with amusement. Perhaps Jungwon is unknowingly falling deeper and deeper in love with you โ Jay only hopes youโll be there to catch him when he eventually feels the pressure of the fall.
โHyung, are you there?โ Jungwonโs eyes are fixed on his as he tugs gently on Jayโs sleeve, almost mirroring the mannerisms of a child when they want to get someoneโs attention.
Although, Jay thinks heโs partially to blame as he did allow his mind to wander off while they were walking along the crowded halls of the mall.
โIโm listening. I donโt get why youโre so worried? Just get what she wants then.โ
Jungwonโs boba eyes squint as he glares at the boy he had dragged along with him. Jay just doesnโt get it! However, he doesnโt have it in his heart to get upset with the boy. Jay had willingly accompanied him to the mall despite the crowd of people.
Jungwon knows Jay isnโt fond of overcrowded places.
The mall is packed with people โ officer workers, street vendors, the poor and the rich. A variety of people walk through the limited space, pushing past one another to get to where they want. Jungwonโs convinced he wouldโve gotten lost without his companion.
โHow am I supposed to get it if I donโt know what it is?โ Heโs pouting now, and Jay resists the urge to pinch his cheeks.
Perhaps Jay shouldโve expected this the moment he had volunteered to go to the mall with Jungwon, but he didnโt mind. Even if he had expected it, he wouldโve still accompanied the young boy..
โThereโs still a month left before her birthday. You have all the time in the world.โ Jungwon feels a pat on his head as heโs frantically scanning around the mall for anything you might like.
โA month means Iโm running out of time.โ
Jay laughs, choosing to stay quiet. He prompts to keep Jungwon close, wrapping an arm around his shoulder to make sure he doesnโt lose him in the crowd.
Jungwon tends to get lost in his thoughts, and in turn, get easily distracted in public spaces.
Old people and children were pushing their trolleys of groceries left and right. If you didnโt pay attention to where you were going, Jay was convinced youโd fall victim to the wheels of the grocery carts or accidentally bump into someone and tip their shopping bags over.
When Jay drives Jungwon home empty-handed, he tells Jungwon thereโs always tomorrow, and the day after that. There was still time to figure out what you wanted.
Still, Jungwon doesnโt get an ounce of sleep that night.
II. 15 days before d-day
Six in the morning is too early.
Jungwon doesnโt understand why classes start as early as seven โ heโd have to wake up at five or six, prepare breakfast for himself, get changed and look presentable, and pack his backpack.
There was too much to do crammed into an hour.
He isnโt sure how he isnโt used to getting up even earlier when training for competitions. Then again, he truly believes six in the morning is just too early.
Yet, despite his disdain for the early hours of the morning, Jungwon never fails to get coffee. Even more than that, he never fails to show up at your doorstep to walk you to school either.
None of his friends tell him he doesnโt need to get up so early in the morning if he chose not to walk you to school every morning. Something tells them Jungwon already knows this. Heโs a smart boy, and they know his constant habit of walking you to school every morning is to make sure youโre safe โ because he cares a lot about you.
Six in the morning is never too early to see you.
โOne cold brew.โ He politely tells the barista, reaching out for his wallet in his book bag. โAnd a matcha latte, please.โ
โWould you like anything else?โ
Jungwon looks up from his bag, unzipping his purse as he scans over the menu and the specials for the day. And then his eyes widen.
With a smile on his face, he adds, โA slice of strawberry shortcake please.โ
Your face flashes in his mind, and he vaguely recalls youโd texted him a few days ago mentioning that you were craving the strawberry shortcake his grandmother makes whenever you came over.
However, because it wasnโt harvest season yet, his grandma couldnโt make another as of recent which prompted you to randomly text him about how you had missed his grandmotherโs baking. He thinks spending a little extra this morning is worth it in exchange for the look on your face when you see what he got you. While it isnโt his grandmotherโs, he knows youโd still greatly appreciate it.
And Jungwon is absolutely right.
When you catch sight of the familiar box from the bakery you frequent, Jungwon notices the smile on your face right away โ trying to capture it long enough for him to remember and look back on for the rest of the day.
โJungwon, you didnโt have to.โ You flick his forehead before wrapping your arms around him in a short hug. Jungwon bites back a very obvious smile as he returns the hug.
โBut I wanted to.โ
He doesnโt know when his heart started beating a little faster every time you pulled him into a hug. One moment, it was a completely normal thing. The next, he couldnโt stop thinking about the short display of affection for the rest of the day.
Somewhere along the lines, Jungwon had fallen in love in the silence between best friends.
Maybe he had realized just how much heโd fallen when he realized he could do nothing next to you forever and heโd still want that โ heโd still greatly appreciate just being around you.
The silence of falling in love expands as you share the slice of cake on the way to school. Jungwon snorts at the sight of icing carelessly gracing your cheeks and your nose โ though it's fond in a way only you can bring out of him.
So cute, he thinks.
He knows six in the morning is too early for cake, but it wasnโt too early to see the smile on your face as you're blissfully unaware of the mess you had left on your face.
Jungwonโs lip twitches at the sight.
He doesnโt really give you a chance before heโs taking the spare tissues the guy behind the counter had given him and wiping the icing so carefully on your face.
Youโre taken aback by the sudden gesture, halting in your steps as Jungwon places a hand on your shoulder to steady you and make sure there wonโt be traces of icing on your face when you reach school.
When heโs done, he simply places the tissue back in the plastic bag and carries on walking. You, on the other hand, turn a bright, embarrassing red. Jungwon had been at such a close proximity without warning, and while innocent, it seemed strangely intimate.
You brush the thought at the back of your head before racing after him so you arenโt left behind.
Silence greets the both of you as you comfortably walk side by side. Jungwon shifts his weight a little bit, enough that your hands brush while walking.
โSoooโฆโ Jungwon starts.
โSoooโฆโ You continue, looking at him funny.
โWhat do you want for your birthday?โ You laugh at his question, having heard it too many times the past month. You had already known the direction of the conversation the moment Jungwon decided to say something.
In truth, you didnโt really want anything materialistic and youโve already told him this. You donโt know why he refuses to believe you. There wasnโt much you really wanted. So long as you get to spend your birthday with him, even in silence, youโd think that would be the best present he could give you.
You laugh at the thought that he mightโve bought you cake as a bribery tactic to finally get you to say what you wanted for your birthday. You donโt know why itโs such a big deal to your best friend.
โIs this why you bought me cake? Jungwon, I already told you I donโt want anything in particular.โ You say through a laugh, bumping your shoulder with his as you take the steps up to your schoolโs entrance. He pouts, nudging you back while mumbling, โyouโre such a liar.โ
Guessing your heart was so much harder than an exam, that Jungwon can conclude as he walks to his first class after dropping you to your classroom.
With an exam, you have all the time and resources to study. And there was so much material to learn from. Guessing your heart, on the other hand, was a little more complex. While Jungwon generally knows what your heart feels like, itโs still difficult to know what it truly wants.
He spends the rest of his free time pondering over your birthday gift, phone in hand and your feed on his timeline.
III. 7 days before d-day
You didnโt mean to fall asleep on Yang Jungwonโs shoulder, with your cheek against his shoulder and your hands gripping on his sweater. It was honestly meant to be just a quick little rest after staying up all night doing Chemistry homework, so you wouldnโt fall asleep in class later on.
What stems from a lean on his shoulder results in a nap.
Jungwon makes an effort not to move too much as he makes the homework given to him prior in advance. While it was due next week, Jungwon finds that thereโs free time during his lunch break to start working on it as early as now.
Although itโs a little hard to focus when your fluttering eyelashes and parted mouth is directly in his peripheral vision. Jungwon would like to believe he controls himself well โ heโs mastered the art of being meticulously planned. If he could, he wouldโve mapped out the rest of his life already.
Heโs a little untrusting of fate, and he didnโt like the uncertainty of not knowing. So, he makes sure everything he does is in his control, whether thatโs the homework due next week or his responsibilities as class president.
Jungwon didnโt see you coming though.
Your soft breathing sends him into a frenzy, and he struggles to keep on writing down ideas on his essay despite his mind being clouded by the feeling of your hands wrapped around his arm and your head drooping on his shoulder.
He doesnโt think much work can be done when he sees his friends make their way over the pair of you with smirking faces and knowing looks. Nishimura Riki is the first to nudge him teasingly, motioning over to you before giggling to himself.
โYouโre so whipped, hyung.โ
Instead of replying to him, Jungwon pressed a finger to his lips before running a hand down your back to make sure you hadnโt awakened from the sudden ruckus.
He knows how much you worked on your homework last night. He had been there on video call, ready to tend to any of your questions. He had also been there to convince you to sleep already, and that he would help you on the way to school the next day.
โYouโre so whipped, hyung.โ Riki repeats in a whisper, laughing as Jungwon moves him aside with his foot. He messily places his books on the table before pulling out the lunch box his mother had prepared for him.
โHow long has she been sleeping for?โ Jake slides in the seat across Jungwon, asking curiously while being careful not to raise his voice so you could continue your soundless nap. Unlike Riki, Jake neatly stacks his notebooks aside on the table.
โJust around 15 minutes now.โ Jake hums in acknowledgment, smiling at the sight of Jungwonโs flushed cheeks as he constantly checks to see if youโre still comfortable in your position.
โWhat are you so focused on?โ Slipping beside Jungwon, Jay peeks at the notebook plastered on the cafeteria table.
โMy essay.โ He spots the essay Jungwonโs been working on, yet a knowing smirk creeps up on his face when he sees the other page of Jungwonโs notebook. โYou sure about that?โ
Jay gestures towards the messily written list, and Jungwon turns a bright red upon being caught. โOkay, maybe I wasnโt too focused.โ
โWhat is it?โ Sunoo butts in the conversation, taking a bite of his sandwich before leaning over to see what all the commotion was about.
โ(Name)โs possible wishlist.โ Jungwon mumbles, looking over his list.
A useful something โ a new watch perhaps? He knows yours doesnโt work anymore and youโre just wearing it because youโd gotten used to the feeling of the watch around your wrist. Or maybe pretty trash? Youโve mentioned multiple times that you wanted to buy a fake plant to decorate your room with.
โHow about something romantic?โ Heeseung peers over to make sure youโre still asleep before asking the question. โSome flowers?โ
โHeโs already going to get her flowers. Jungwon doesnโt count that as a gift.โ Sunghoon responds for Jungwon, stealing a bite off of Sunooโs sandwich earning him a smack on the shoulder.
โHey, what happened to respecting your seniors?โ Sunghoon pouts, rubbing his shoulder. Sunoo is unbothered as he steals his sandwich back. โIโm special.โ Sunoo replies sweetly, finishing up his lunch.
โI really canโt make a guess. What could be the best present?โ Jungwon mumbles more to himself, brushing a hand over your hair absentmindedly.
He looks down at you and he smiles at how cute you look with your cheek pressed against his shoulder. His friends notice this โ heโs looking at you that way again, that same adoring way Jungwon thinks heโs hidden quite well.
He looks back at his list, crossing out the things he had written earlier. While going through them, everything suddenly forms a meaning.
The neck pillow reminds him of times like these, when youโd fall asleep on him in school or on the way back home when youโd decide to take the bus instead of walking. Heโs reminded of times when heโd have to shake you awake as youโd arrive at your doorstep because youโd fall asleep even on the short walk from the bus stop to your home.
Jungwon made sure to always help you out though, and youโd gratefully smile up at him and squish his cheeks in thanks before stepping into your home.
The hoodie reminds him of all the times youโd steal his. He doesnโt even act surprised when heโs picking you up one day and youโre clad in what used to be his favorite hoodie. He knows you wonโt even wear the hoodie heโd get you, prompting to keep stealing his because freshly bought hoodies just donโt smell the same.
The bracelet reminds him of the ones youโre wearing right now. Although a little messy and mismatched, you had both made them when you were a little younger โ friendship bracelets. He remembers designing yours with a little too much heart beads. At the time, he didnโt even know he had the biggest crush on you.
A jewel box with a star called you inside is overflowing in his heart. The yearning feels a little too overwhelming.
Jungwon feels like heโs just been thrown off a plane, freefalling with everything out of his control. The harsh winds feel like it can tear him apart, and the acceleration increases with every hoodie you steal and every moment you fall asleep on his shoulder. Thereโs a deafening silence as he falls.
โWhat were you guys talking about?โ You peel your head from Jungwonโs shoulder, rubbing your eyes gently before dropping them down so your best friend doesnโt scold you. Then, you lean your head back on his shoulder.
Jungwon crashes.
โGood morning noona.โ Riki changes the topic shamelessly, waving at you enthusiastically.
Youโre too exhausted to respond as enthusiastically, so you prompt to wave back at him instead, sending a smile his way.
A reserved smile plays at Jungwonโs friendsโ mouths, greeting you as they continue to eat their food. You arenโt necessarily from the same circle, but youโve learned to bond with the boys in different ways.
Although shy at first, youโve found various interests to talk to them about.
You always made an effort to get along with your best friendโs circle, and they reciprocated that. The way Jungwon beams at you so wholeheartedly is enough for them to know youโre good for Jungwon. Besides, youโd known him the longest and it didnโt really take much to know that all his gentle smiles have always been reserved for you.
With Heeseung and Jake, you talk about video games to the point where theyโd invite you to game lobbies without having to ask Jungwon. They regard you as one of their friends.
With Sunghoon, you share the same love for ice skating. Sometimes youโd see each other at the local ice rink and spend the rest of the time skating side by side and talking about whatever came to mind. Youโve always been hesitant with Sunghoon since he was a little introverted like you. You didnโt know if he wanted you to strike up a conversation with him. Yet, when you were ice skating one day, and he decided to skate towards the direction you were in and guide you through the rink while joking around, you knew he didnโt mind being a friend.
Jay had become like an overbearing brother. Because you were so close to Jungwon, he had naturally grown a sense of overprotectiveness when it came to you. Maybe it had something to do with protecting Jungwonโs happiness, but somewhere along the way, youโd become like a little sister to him. You knew you could always confide in him.
Sunoo was the easiest to get along with. Youโd talk gossip, on the latest shows and movies you were obsessed with, on practically everything. To the extent where Jungwon would joke around about how Sunoo was stealing his best friend from him.
Riki was the sweetest. He treated you as an older sister and always got on Jungwonโs nerves with your help. Youโd come along with him as heโd set up pranks on his friends, and youโd listen to him blabber about how Heeseung and Jake would kick him out of lobbies because it was way past his bedtime.
Because you meant a lot to Jungwon, his friends naturally gravitated towards you. Theyโd become your friends too.
Truth be told, it wasnโt the most difficult thing falling into a friendship with the six boys. While branded as intimidating, they were actually really nice.
โYou can go back to sleep. Thereโs still 30 minutes before the next class.โ Jay smiles softly at you, apologizing if their ruckus mightโve shaken you awake which you dismissed immediately.
โWait, before you head back to sleepโฆโ Jungwon says, cupping your cheeks and looking down at you through your droopy eyes. You hum in response, waiting for what he has to say.
โWhat do you want for your birthday?โ
The question elicits laughter from the table, including you. With a playful glare, you tear Jungwonโs hands from your cheeks before situating yourself back on his shoulder.
โYou shouldnโt take advantage of a sleepy girl.โ Jungwon laughs, resting an arm around your waist to make sure youโre comfortable, and so you donโt strain your neck.
โIt was worth a try.โ
Thereโs a gentle smile adorning Jungwonโs pretty face as he rests his head atop of yours. Jungwon recovers from the crash and is ready to jump again.
IV. 1 day before d-day
Jungwon was going to go absolutely mad. It was inevitable, how he was going to go insane, the madness creeping slowly and slowly until it consumed the entirety of Yang Jungwon.
It was a day before your birthday, and while his 14 steps had been ready a month prior to tomorrow, he could not, for the life of him, get the fifteenth step down.
He thought 30 days was a good enough marker for him to have some time to get you the perfect present. He thought wrong as he scrambles through lists on end that he had previously written days.
Jungwon had already gone through it multiple times. He knows he wonโt get anything new when he reviews it again, yet he still does it anyway. Jungwon has never known frustration quite like this.
Sure, he had crammed a few tests and homeworks before, but not like this. He had never been completely unprepared. He had never gone without a backup plan, a Plan B of sorts.
The stress over your birthday present has reared into a good first place of the list that was driving Jungwon straight into madness. Forget about the exams. He had studied for that long before it was even announced.
Heeseung raises an eyebrow at the sight before him. He had never seen Jungwon this out of control before with his eyes wide and his shoulders slouched over his notebook. โStill thinking about (name)โs birthday gift?โ
Heeseung knows heโs right, and the blush on Jungwonโs cheeks is enough confirmation that you were yet again the reason as to why he had blown out of proportions and was panicking as he was going through your surprise birthday party with his and your friends.
Thereโs that sincere, loving look in his eyes that solidifies Heeseungโs question. Although Jungwon tries to appear composed and stoic, the visible panic in his voice while he reviews the plans for tomorrow was enough to blow his cover. Besides, youโre the only person that can make Jungwon go from calm to insane to flustered in the blink of an eye.
โYouโre so in love.โ Riki giggles as he wiggles his eyebrows at the older boy. He supposes he shouldโve seen the shove coming.
โJungwon, Iโm sure this surprise birthday party is the greatest gift you could give her. Your time and effort into planning this just goes beyond. You donโt need to get her anything.โ Everyone at the table hums at Jayโs insight.
While it was amusing seeing their friend on the brink of madness, it was still just a little bit concerning. Jungwon was always the one who had his shit together, and the uncharacteristic insanity was slowly creeping the boys out.
โI just really wanted to get her something.โ Jungwon mumbles, staring down at his notebook before sighing out in defeat. He really wanted to get you what you wanted, but he just couldnโt figure it out. Since when did you get so hard to read?
โMaybe if you confessed to her instead.โ Sunoo giggles at his idea as if itโs the most genius thing heโe ever said. It might just be.
While he meant it in a joking manner (everyone knew Jungwon was way too much of a coward to tell you how he feels, instead choosing to hide behind platonic gestures), Jungwon seriously considers it.
โAs if Jungwon could actually do that.โ Sunghoon looks at Sunoo incredulously, shaking his head. Sunghoonโs absolutely right and Jungwon knows it.
โOy, hide your notebook. Sheโs coming this way.โ Jake is quick to close the notebook that had all the details of your surprise birthday party, hiding it on the bench between him and Jungwon before waving at you innocently.
Before you can approach their table, someone calls out to you quietly. Your head whips at the sound, smiling politely at your classmate who greets you an advance happy birthday.
โAny idea on what you want for your special day?โ Wonyoung smiles sweetly, hoping to hear a response.
She was planning on going to the mall after dismissal today so she could get you a gift before coming to your surprise birthday party tomorrow. Sullyoon had already gotten you a present days before, but had volunteered to come with Wonyoung anyway.
Jungwon hopes none of his friends notice the way his head whips so fast at the question.
If you wonโt tell Jungwon, maybe youโd tell Wonyoung.
โNothing comes to mind.โ You laugh quietly and Wonyoung pouts at your lack of response. โNothing?โ
Guess Wonyoung has quite a challenge when she goes shopping later.
When you finish talking, Wonyoung politely excuses herself before waving you goodbye and walking off to the halls of the school.
You break out into a wide smile as you walk over to where Jungwon and his friends are. Jungwon returns the smile, cheeks burning red when your eyes fall to him. He doesnโt recall when art and beauty was capable of looking back at him.
He motions you over and pushes Riki (who was seated on the other side next to him) aside so you could sit next to him. Riki simply finds another seat across from the group.
Besides, no one could adore you in the way that Jungwon does. You donโt receive that kind of admiration from Jungwon so easily. And itโs only yours.
โAdvance happy birthday.โ Jungwon smiles up at you, pulling you down to sit next to him. โThank you.โ You hum sweetly before quietly thanking everyone around the table who had joined in on the greetings.
The group easily falls into banter, and your surprise birthday party is kept a secret from you for the rest of the day.
Jungwon walks you home that day, just like he always does. He admits with little shame that he was distracted the whole walk home.
Youโd have to pull him back so he doesnโt walk directly into a streetlight.
Heโs incredibly busy thinking about tomorrow, how the day just had to be perfect. And itโs even harder to focus when the golden light of the sun was hitting you just right, his favorite person walking right next to him.
Jungwon canโt contain his smile. He needed to make sure tomorrow was unforgettable for you. Itโs one of the few days he can shamelessly show just how much he cares for you in disguise of celebrating your birthday.
He doesnโt stop thinking about you even after youโve called him out.
โYou look deep in thought, Wonie.โ
โI have a very good reason to be.โ
He doesnโt stop after dropping you off either. Jungwon just canโt stop thinking about you.
His thoughts range from different things โ homework, his friends, you, class president duties, extracurriculars, you, competitions, exams, you. His mind always finds its way to the color of your eyes or the quirk of your lips.
He only hopes he can keep himself calm enough tomorrow that his feelings donโt bleed through.
Maybe then Jungwon can stop thinking about going in for the first kiss, maybe he just needs to busy himself with the preparations so you can stop being the subject of his dreams for a moment.
Obviously, heโs in denial. Because even with preparations, you will always be the first person he thinks about. Even more after tomorrow when thereโs nothing else to be busy about.
His thoughts cut short when he meets the front of his house. So, he stops spinning the daydream of you for a moment โ he can always resume in his dreams.
V. D-Day
You couldnโt say you saw it coming.
While you knew your best friend, Yang Jungwon, was up to something โ you didnโt think heโd go far and beyond to actually plan a surprise birthday party.
Youโd thought your birthday would just be a repeat of last year. A simple dinner with your family and Jungwon coming over to throw you a mini celebration. He knew that was enough for you, and it was enough for him too.
However, this year, he decided to take it a step further.
It was wonderfully planned. He had borrowed Jayโs house for the evening and carefully strewed colorful balloons of red, blue, and yellow around the walls (ones that the boys blew up the entire afternoon and taped themselves).
At the center, with the table of food and cake, lettered balloons carefully lined up to spell โHapy B1rthdyโ.
It was strangely endearing โ how the balloons were spelt wrong. The effort was so visibly there, and you donโt know why the simple spelling error has your heart bursting with happiness. Sunghoon wonโt tell anyone he almost got a scolding from Jungwon for cramming the purchase of the balloons.
They had to make do with the material Sunghoon got.
Jungwon spots the smile on your face as your friends jump out to greet you with a happy birthday. He finally feels calm. His peace has always depended on your own, and nothing warms Jungwonโs heart more than seeing his efforts in full effect.
The moment was sweet. It was just an intimate get together with you and your friends, and you had Jungwon to thank for that. If only you could actually find him through the string of people making their way to you and greeting you.
โHappy Birthday!โ Sunoo wraps you up in a big hug after Wonyoung and Sullyoon had collectively greeted you and showered you with compliments.
You smile at the boy, linking your arms around his to complete the hug. โWere you surprised?โ
โI was!โ You exclaim, pulling away from the hug so you can face him while youโre talking. Though, your conversation doesnโt last long when Riki pulls you away from Sunoo.
His expression is serious as he drags you away, but before you can ask him whatโs wrong, he stops in his tracks. With a pout on his face, he opens his arms wide and greets you with a happy birthday.
You laugh endearingly at the boy and grant him the hug he was demanding. He mumbles something about how everyone was hogging you, and heโd been meaning to greet you first but everyone beat him to it. You thank him, patting his back and he pulls away with a smile.
While grateful to see all your friends and be greeted on your birthday, thereโs one person youโve been looking for since everyone had jumped from their hiding spots. Quickly scanning Jayโs house, you finally find your best friend.
Jungwonโs eager eyes brighten at the sight of you before they motion towards his phone as if to tell you to check your own. Then, he brings his gaze up to shoot you a warm smile.
The way you mirror his smile brings a splash of giddiness into his heart.
wonie: come here. letโs go to the rooftop! iโm tired of sharing u >:(
Your feet easily bring you towards the boy behind the whole eveningโs surprise. He reaches out and you sigh happily when you find his arms, inching closer so you can rest your head against his chest, cheek pressed against his shirt. He wraps you up, encasing you in his embrace, with his lips brushing over the top of your head.
โThank you, Won.โ The melodic sound of your gratefulness and the laugh that escapes your lips feels like the purest definition of heaven.
Heโd plan a million birthday parties to make sure youโre forever genuinely happy.
โOh, before I forget.โ One of his arms unhook from your figure, grabbing something from behind him before carefully placing the party hat on your head, hooking the band just under your chin. He puts one on for himself too.
โNow let me borrow you for a bit.โ
Without a single warning, you feel a large hand grip onto yours, tugging at you to follow him up the steps to Jayโs rooftop. You smile warmly at the giddiness radiating from the boy at his gift.
The moon has risen, taking the sunโs place as it leaves to rest. A mass of stars follows suit, taking over the skies and shining particularly brighter for you and Jungwon.
You stand there in silence for a bit, glancing at Jungwon who is clearly having a battle in his own mind. He looks pretty with the full moon flooding a silver glow on his face.
โAre you okay? You look like youโve seen a ghost.โ You laugh, pressing the palm of your hand on his cheek to check if he was still there.
Jungwon had a tendency of dozing off into daydreams.
He swats your hand away with a sheepish grin, turning his attention back to you and pretending not to feel a new wave of giddiness in his heart.
โWhy wouldnโt I be okay?โ He shakes his head at you before he sighs out in a poor attempt to calm himself down.
It was now or never.
Despite the pounding of his heart, Jungwon knows exactly what to do, but it doesnโt really help when heโs a string of nerves thatโs about to untangle with a single wrong move. He feels like heโs floating.
Your smile brings him back on Earth.
When he finally catches his breath, he reaches to slide his hand into yours. He gives you a soft smile before speaking gently. โClose your eyes.โ
Youโre about to make a retort, to tease him a little, but the look in his eyes was too delicate for you to ruin with a stupid joke. And your heart melts in your chest at how softly he speaks, with his heart on his sleeve like that. So, you comply.
You absentmindedly play with the fingers that lock between yours as you wait for his next move. Then, you feel a gentle squeeze on your hand.
This moment right now is making Jungwonโs heart burn in his chest, making his head hurt in a good way. You look so pretty with your eyes closed and your hands in his, and the moonlight pouring wonders to your face.
โOkay, stay still. Iโm about to give you your gift.โ
You laugh. So thatโs what this is about.
โFinally figured it out?โ You bounce between your feet, playing with his own fingers nervously. Did he actually figure it out? He couldnโt have.
โStop moving, Iโm really nervous right now.โ His transparency makes you laugh even more, and he curses you for having to laugh with your sunshine smile. He curses himself even more for saying everything in his head when heโs nervous.
โIโm not moving!โ You curl up your lips in a smile, planting your feet to the ground to quietly oblige with his request. โWonie, how much longer?โ
You've been closing your eyes for a good 3 minutes now, and you wonder whatโs taking Jungwon so long to give you his present. Youโre blissfully unaware of the measures and lengths heโs going through to push through with his plan.
โIโve been trying to figure out what the best present would be. For a month, Iโve gone back and forth on whatever could be on your wishlist. Soโฆ rather than getting it all wrong. I justโฆโ
There, on the rooftop, half drunk from his overwhelming emotions, with the sound of music from the party downstairs and you smiling and his heart bursting with something he couldnโt quite identify, he needed to confess.
You wait for him to continue, but no words come after. Instead, you feel soft lips press against your cheek in a kiss. You feel him linger there for a moment.
Your eyes shoot open and your cheeks flood with warmth when he squeezes your hand and looks at you with his stupid eyes. โI like you.โ
Your mouth opens, then closes, then opens again.
You canโt seem to escape his eyes and his smile, and you find the longing in your heart intensify as he pulls you closer.
โI really, really like you.โ
You blink. And in one fluid motion, you lunge forward and pull him into a hug. โJungwon, that was the only thing on my wishlist.โ You murmur into his shirt, holding onto him as if the moment could vanish at any second.
The poor boy turns into the deepest shade of red youโve ever seen, hugging you back and staring blankly ahead of you. Did that actually just happen? Did youโฆ did you like him back?
Yang Jungwon tries not to be big on public displays of affection, but he reaches for your hand while you head back downstairs.
Before he fully allows the pair of you back into the party, he brings his lips to your cheek again, letting it linger there for a moment before looking at you with the biggest smile youโve ever seen on his face. โThis means you like me back, right?โ
โI do, you idiot.โ He doesnโt fight the giddy grin on his face as he contentedly squeezes your hand.
Jungwonโs heart is bursting with genuine happiness as his and your friends eye your intertwined hands. They send him a cheeky, knowing smirk as they pat his back โ as if to congratulate him on finally getting the girl heโs been pining for forever.
When you blow your cake, they ask you what you want, and while looking at Jungwon, you tell them you already have everything you want, and he smiles that giddy smile of his and wonders when itโd be appropriate to kiss you.
The whole room joins in on making fun of the both of you, vomiting air and telling you guys to get a room while nudging each other.
It bothered neither of you.
The evening draws on with games and greetings, with opening presents and singing โhappy birthdayโ in one breath, with your friends spreading icing all over each otherโs faces. You look over at Jungwon who is already looking at you, and a smile creeps its way to your face. An identical one crawls on his.
When it was time to say goodbye, Jungwon walks you home and wraps you up in a final embrace. And he thinks he could stay right here in this moment โ even if the world ended right now. Heโd stay like this forever.
All his life, Jungwon has fought to gain the upper hand. He has always made plans and back-up plans to make sure everything was under his control. He only now realizes that falling in love was never in his control, and one sight of you has Jungwon willing to throw caution in the wind and dive head first.
This time, he doesnโt crash. He finds that heโs landed in your arms, safe and wanting to freefall for you all over again.

Him
Synopsis: Two weeks have passed since Jungwon nearly lost control and two weeks since heโs disappeared. Youโre walking home, missing him when you suddenly look up and heโs right there in front of you
Genre: Angst, fluff
Pairing: Vampire Jungwon x reader
It was around nine PM when you left the cafรฉ a few blocks away from your apartment. Your stiff limbs being grateful for the long awaited movement after being cooped up in the coffee infested place. You were sure you were radiating the smell of espresso.
Though you longed for the comfort of your home it didnโt feel like it, it hasnโt for awhile, not without him there. Thatโs why you decided to come back so late.
Itโs been exactly two weeks since he disappeared and exactly two weeks since your last encounter that left you shaken, in despair and longing for your lover.
You remembered how his fangs grazed your neck, hand gripped your throat, those scarlet eyes that met yours and you slashing him with a cross on a chain which he had given you. Before you could recollect yourself and stop yourself from shaking, he was gone.
You close your eyes briefly recalling the memory once more in your head, you shouldnโt have acted so rashly, you perhaps shouldnโt have used that much force. But you were scared and the fear that coursed through you in that moment made itโs decision for you.
You walked home avoiding the puddles that had already soaked through your shoes. The moon shone like it did on that night, the clouds as if acted as oncoming traffic arriving and departing at the moons glow which was reflected by the mapped out water on the ground.
Your mind was drained as your body ached for his touch while your heart yearned for him. You see the alleyway which provided a shortcut to your place. Contemplating, you quickly turned into it not paying mind to any potential consequence.
You entered feeling thankful for the moonlight that illuminated your narrow walk between the buildings. You watched your footing as you continued onwards.
Suddenly you became alert as you walked along you heard footsteps coming your way until they stopped and came to a halt. Still looking partially down your blood started to run cold until you raised your head.
Your lips parted and breath hitched. There he was, eyes back to his normal shade, hands in his pocket with a guarded gaze. You were shocked to see the boy after what felt like months. You didnโt know what to say until you almost whispered,
โWonโ, your eyes started to brim with tears as you scanned below his face as your gaze landed on a deep red gash trailing from his neck up to his jaw behind his ear.
He started to take a few steps closer to you yet still kept a distance. You could sense his uncertainty. He didnโt know what you felt towards him nor did you know what he did towards you.
You blink away your tears digging your shaky hand into your pocket retrieving the chain from that night. You held it by your side dropping it onto the ground wanting to show him that you donโt want to hurt him. You were never against him in the first place.
He watched you intently, looking at the now discarded chain on the ground and knelt down to pick it up.
You quickly however took it from his hands throwing it away even further. He met your eyes, he looked so pretty yet his eyes were pained and was about to speak until you cut him off.
โI neverโ, you inhaled trying to fight the tears from falling as you took his hands into yours.
โI never meant to hurt youโ, you say as you burst into tears knees buckling threatening to make you fall until you feel two hands lift you up and circle your waist.
โI know my loveโ, he whispers and presses a kiss to your hair.
โI was just scaredโ, you continue feeling so much overwhelming relief to finally be back in his arms. After awhile he held you back, wiping the tears cascading down your cheeks.
โI would have never forgiven myself if I hurt youโ, he spoke softly guilt lacing his tone as he tucked your hair behind your ear.
โItโs not your fault love, it never wasโ, he continued as he pressed his forehead against yours.
โI hurt you Wonโ, you reply weakly.
โYou were doing what you promised me youโd do if I ever was a threat to youโ, he said more firmly than before, cupping your face in his hands.
โI never wanted you to see me as a monster my sweet darlingโ
Your heart broke, he was no monster, not to you. He was nothing but good and you accepted him for who he was regardless of what could happen in the future, you were truly devoted to him as he was to you throughout whatever difficulty you faced.
โYouโre not a monster Wonโ, you tell him.
โHow could a monster offer me so much loveโ, looking into his eyes you could see them soften. You both left it at that, nothing else needed to be said on that matter, not right now anyways.
โWhere were you Wonโ, you ask linking his arm with yours.
โI needed time, my loveโ, he replied and you understood.
He walked you home, you two walked in silence simply basking in each others presence at last.
When you got to your door your keys jingled in the lock as you opened it letting the both of you in. You start to take your shoes and coat of walking inside. Your eyelids start to droop as you made your way further inside followed by your lover.
โYou should go to sleep darlingโ, he spoke gently. You noticed heโs still wearing his coat as if he doesnโt intend on staying.
โWhat about you? Youโre staying, no?,โ you ask hoping his answer will be positive. Which in the end he agreed to stay until you fall asleep.
Now you lay under the covers as Jungwon pulled over a chair beside the bed which he placed his coat over taking a seat. He was still keeping his distance which hurt but you still gave him a small smile which he returned.
You reached out your hand as he took it in his own, soothing your knuckles. Sleep started to partially envelope you yet your mind couldnโt shut off fully knowing that he could leave at any second.
After a while of silence you felt him shift and lean over you placing a kiss to your forehead.
โI missed you so much that my dead heart started to acheโ, he spoke softly threading a hand through your hair gently.
You then heard him take his coat and make his way to the door. Firstly you were in a blushing mess and secondly in a panic knowing that just like that he was leaving. Even though your body was calling for sleep you couldnโt let him go, not again.
You quickly moved up again tiptoeing into the hallway where you saw his disappearing figure. You ran quickly until you collided with his back circling your arms around his waist.
โStayโ, you say deciding to not let go for the sake of the argument until he gave in.
โI thought you were asleepโ, he chuckled. That was a lie, him and his vampire senses always knew when you were awake or not.
โCome back to bed, with me this timeโ, you spoke again.
He took your arms in his and turned to face you a gentle smile adorning his lips at your actions and words.
โMaybe another time loveโ, you shake your head at his words.
โPlease stayโ, you whisper.
How he missed you and how he yearned for your touch just to be held by you again. He didnt want to give in. How could he after what happened.
But as you looked at him with such eyes how could he say no to you. He thought for awhile. After battling with his thoughts he just whispered back a simple โokayโ.
You now lay in bed again this time with your love by your side your mind content with finally having him there.
The moonlight bathed him, his eyes closed you trailed down to the gash rooting from his neck, you wondered how long it would take to heal as you lightly traced it.
You halted your movement as you felt two eyes stare at you to which you gazed into. He smirked amused.
โDonโt I look better with it my loveโ, he says gripping your hand in his.
โShut upโ, you say pushing his face away gasping in disbelief.
โI believe it addsโ, he continues.
โSince it was done by you it makes it even hotterโ, he whispers into your ear to which you gasp in disbelief yet again sitting up taking a pillow to hit him with, which he catches pulling you into him by it.
โYouโre unbelievableโ, you mumble into his chest yet you were more than open to having his playful nature back. He laughs rearranging your positions so your back is against his chest. He kisses the top of your head as you place your hands on his.
โCan I tend to it tomorrowโ, you ask not caring if it was a stupid request even though days have passed.
โYou can do whatever you want to me darlingโ, he says pulling you closer giving another kiss to your head.
You smile in his hold letting sleep crawl through your system, finally in peace of everything starting to fall into place again. You hope it would continue to be that way.
You mumbled out a quick โI love youโ and โgoodnightโ before you fell into your slumber, however not before hearing him say,
โIโll love you forever my dearโ

5 1/2 coffees to love
pairing: barista!jungwon x customer!reader (she/her)
summary: When Jungwon finds out you hate coffee, he makes a bet with you that he will be able to make you fall in love with coffee. But what if you fall in love with him instead?
words: 15.3k
story colour: yellow
notes: This is for my fellow coffee haters and probably the fluffiest fluff Iโve ever written. I hope you enjoy this story and always remember to spread kindness!๐ชฝ
masterlist of enhypen as jobs
Coffee. ย A beverage brewed from the roasted and ground seeds of the tropical evergreen coffee plant. One of the top three beverages in the whole world.
And you hate it. You absolutely despise it. The bitter taste, the obnoxious smell. Everything about it makes you want to take whatever plant it comes from and destroy it forever.
Okay, maybe youโre just being a bit dramatic. But still, you donโt get how people actually enjoy that drink.
When you first tried coffee, you were 5 years old. You saw your mom drink it every day and as a curious child, you wanted to try it too. So, when your mom wasnโt watching, you grabbed her cup and drank a sip. Almost immediately your face scrunched up in disgust and you let out a small yelp.
โOh sweetheart.โ, your mom cooed, taking the cup from you. โYouโre too young to like coffee. But believe me when youโre older you will like it just as much a mommy does.โ
The second time was when you got into high school. The sudden pressure and the amount of homework kept you up a lot, so you thought that coffee might help you with the tiredness. You even went as far as to go all the way to a coffee shop to get professionally made coffee. And still the moment you got back home, ready to take a sip and stay up all night to study, you learned yet again that coffee isnโt something for you.
The third and until now last time, was when you met your best friend. Sunoo and you met up in your first year of college. The two of you immediately got along and now youโre not only best friends, but also roommates. The only problem is, Sunoo is a vivid coffee lover. He claims to not be able to get through the day without coffee. You heard him praise the beverage every day and since you were older and more mature, you thought that maybe now you will like it. But once again you were wrong. Not even Sunooโs special preparation could change your opinion on coffee.
So, now youโre here. In your second year of college, sitting at the kitchen table, trying to study, and having to endure the obnoxious smell that lingers around the apartment.
โI swear, if you make that face again while I enjoy my coffee, I will pour it on you.โ, your best friend speaks up from his seat on the couch.
โI just donโt get how you can drink that, Sunoo. What is there to enjoy about?โ
Your best friend rolls his eyes and walks over to where you sit at the kitchen table. He puts his cup down in front of you, on purpose, and takes a place on the other chair.
โYou just havenโt had good coffee before.โ, he states with an innocent smile on his face.
Good coffee? Does good coffee even exist? You doubt it.
โHonestly, I gave up on liking coffee and so should you. I mean, not on liking coffee, but on forcing it upon me. There are other things I can drink. Like a good hot chocolate or Red Bull if I need some caffein. And see it as something positive. It just means more coffee for you.โ
Your best friend shrugs at your answer, already used to your stubborn side and knowing that it has no use trying to start a discussion with you about that subject. โYeah, I guess youโre right.โ
โกโหโบ. เผถ โหโนโโก
There is nothing you hate more than exam week. Not only is your head exploding from all the knowledge you have to force into it, but the lack of sleep youโre getting is making you look and also act like a zombie.
But itโs over. Well, at least until the next exam week starts, but thatโs for your future you to worry about. All you want to do is go home, change into comfortable clothes, and spend the whole weekend sleeping.
โLetโs go into a cafรฉ.โ, your best friend says the moment you get into your shared apartment.
โWhat?โ
โLetโs go into a cafรฉ.โ, he repeats himself, taking your bag from you and tossing it on the couch. โCome on, itโs fun. A friend of mine is working there, and I always wanted to check it out. Heโs working today and I just know the two of you will get along.โ
โYou have friends?โ, you ask amused, throwing yourself on the couch with a groan. โBesides that, I just had the worst week of my life and all I want to do is sleep.โ
Sunoo rolls his eyes, before sitting down beside you, taking your arms and making you sit up, which you did but not without letting out some protesting whines. โFirst of all, I do have friends, thank you very much. And second, thatโs exactly why we should go out. You need some distraction and Iโve heard that the cafรฉ makes the best hot chocolate and strawberry cake.โ
You canโt deny that that offer sounds good. So, with a few mumbles of complaint, you stand up and walk towards your room.
โWhat are you doing?โ, Sunoo asks, watching you leave.
โChanging. Which you should too, so we can leave soon.โ
โกโหโบ. เผถ โหโนโโก
The moment you step into the cafรฉ, you are thankful that Sunoo made you come here. The smell of fresh baked goods overpowers all the sleepiness in your body. You can almost ignore the smell of coffee. But just almost.
The cafรฉ itself is rather small, but one of the prettiest things youโve ever seen. The place is filled with a lot of green plants, fairy lights on the yellow walls and couches on the side. The tables are decorated with cute yellow napkins and behind the counter where the machines and the display window with the cakes in it are, hangs a little sign reading โtoday is your dayโ. It has you smiling a bit, loving the positive and comfortable atmosphere in this little space.
The yellow theme makes it even better. While yellow isnโt particularly your favorite color, it works as a little happy.
โWow, Sunoo, this is the coolest place Iโve ever seen. Why didnโt you bring me here earlier?โ
Your best friend admires your beaming face, having been worried the whole week about your wellbeing. Sunoo knows that once you want something, you do everything possible to achieve it. In this case itโs good grades. He knows how hard you study to be on top of your class and how you will neglect every important thing in your life to get this achievement. Important things like sleeping, eating and your social contacts.
โIโm glad you like it, Y/n. Oh look, there is Jungwon.โ You follow the eyes of Sunoo to spot a young boy talking to an elderly woman. He is leaning down, intensively listening to what the woman is saying and smiling politely at her. You immediately notice the dimples that form on his cheeks. Cute.
โLetโs sit down and wait until Jungwon can take our order.โ The cafรฉ is mostly empty, aside for the older woman. And youโre thankful for that. Crowded spaces arenโt exactly your preferred type of place to hang out.
Sitting down with Sunoo at a nice table gives you some time to look around the cafรฉ yet again. Somehow with every time you look around, you see something new appearing in the small space. A new detail that makes this cafรฉ even more adorable. Like the small sundae formed out of clay that sits on top of the counter. Or the picture of a croissant sitting in front of the Eiffel Tour while drinking a coffee hanging on the wall. You also notice the way all the plants are in perfect order, not one stands out of line or is overgrown. They are perfectly trimmed and look like they get watered regularly. The yellow napkins are formed into little butterflies with a small chocolate treat on them. They too are perfect. Folded so precisely, you swear that if you just had to make one, you would have lost your nerves. But what is yet the sweetest and also most considered thing, is the little mental health cards all over the room. Small cards with different quotes, positive affirmations and motivations on them. You swear that you just walked into heaven. How can this place be so perfect and yet not overfilled with people?
โIโm sorry for the wait.โ, a voice brings you out of your thoughts. โOh! Hey, Sunoo! You really came.โ Looking up, you see Jungwon smiling at your friend.
โOf course! I could not miss out on this place. And you didnโt lie, itโs amazing. Right Y/n?โ Suddenly the attention of both men is on you.
All you can do is nod, giving a quick thumbs up.
โY/n? You must be Sunooโs best friend. He talks a lot about you.โ, Jungwon exclaims, giving you a sweet smile. Damn, that really is his charm.
โYou talk about me?โ, you ask your friend with raised eyebrows. โI knew it. You are obsessed with me.โ
Sunoo lets out a scoff. โDonโt let it get to your head. Iโm just mentioning the person Iโm literally living with.โ
Before the two of you can continue to argue, Jungwon gets in between. โWhat can I get for you? Have you decided on something to order?โ
โI want a mint chocolate mocha and chocolate cake.โ, Sunoo says, beaming up at Jungwon.
โWell, for me a hot chocolate and a strawberry cake.โ
Jungwon writes your orders down on a little notebook that he carries around in his apron. โYour order will be here soon.โ
You watch as he leaves, truly captivated by him. That doesnโt go unnoticed by your best friend. โWhatโs got you so kept up?โ
โHm?โ
Your friend canโt help but chuckle as he looks at your confused face. โOh, someone has a little crush on Jungwon.โ
โWhat? No. I just met him five minutes ago.โ, you exclaim, shaking your head.
โDoesnโt mean you canโt find him cute.โ
Well, maybe you do think he is cute. How can you not? The small dimples that appear whenever he smiles, the cute cat-like features he has and the kindness he carried the moment you stepped into the cafรฉ. Maybe it does sound like you do have a crush on him, but thatโs not the case. You could never catch feelings for someone this fast. You were never a believer of love at first sight, even if you call yourself a hopeless romantic. For you love is something that blossoms over time. Itโs built up from trust and trust can only be formed with a lot of time passing by. Itโs built on respect from both sides. Without that love is simply not possible, so you wonโt even consider it. Not with someone you met a few minutes ago.
โA mocha and chocolate cake for you, Sunoo and hot chocolate and a strawberry cake for you, Y/N. I hope you enjoy it.โ, Jungwon speaks in a gentle voice as he puts your orders on the small table in front of you.
โDo you have a few minutes to spare?โ, Sunoo asks Jungwon, already taking a bite of his cake.
โYeah, there isnโt a lot going on at the moment, so I think I have a few minutes. Why?โ
โI thought maybe you can join me and Y/n, so we can talk and catch up a bit. And you two can get to know each other a bit more.โ
โSure, why not.โ, Jungwon agrees, sitting down on the empty chair between you and Sunoo.
โHowโs English Lit going?โ, he asks Sunoo who in return lets out a deep sigh.
โSame old. Mr Walker is still as mean as ever.โ
Now itโs your turn to let out a sigh. โGod, donโt even let me get started.โ
โWhy?โ, Jungwon asks. โYouโre in the class too?โ
โIn the class? No, Iโm suffering through it.โ, you frustratingly munch on your cake before continuing. โI cannot stress enough how this man should not be a teacher. Donโt get me wrong, he can explain good and has so much knowledge, but when it comes to human interactions or empathy, this man is lost. You know how in English Lit we are supposed to discuss English literature and also express criticism towards it, which leads to discuss and so on. Whenever someone criticizes something or even just expresses their opinions, he declines it and continues his lesson. He gives us no room to voice our thoughts. He just does his thing and goes.
โAnd the assignments. They are longer than my will to live, I can tell you that much. I spent so many sleepless nights writing and doing research and what do I get? Nothing. He just grades it and sends it back, no comments, no helpful tips, just the grade and thatโs it. Iโm honestly so sick of it. I want all my hours of sleep back.โ Dramatically you let your head fall on your arms, realizing a little whine.
โSorry.โ, Sunoo says, rubbing the back of his neck. โWe just had exam week and she is exhausted. And well, since she doesnโt drink coffee to keep her awake, she pretty much could fall asleep anywhere at this rate.โ
โYou donโt drink coffee?โ, Jungwon asks, his voice laces with a bit of shock.
โNope.โ, you state, lifting your head up again. โHate it. Worst drink in the whole wide world. Disgusting. Disgraceful. Infuriating.โ
Jungwon lays a hand on his heart, gasping loudly. โHow can you say that to a Barista? Coffee is the best thing this world has ever experienced.โ
You just roll your eyes, taking a huge sip of your hot chocolate out of spite. โI highly doubt that. But I canโt argue with coffee lovers. You guys are strangely stubborn.โ You give Sunoo a pointed look to which he just sticks his tongue.
โBelieve me. Try one of my coffeeโs and you will change your mind.โ
โDonโt even try.โ, Sunoo intervenes. โIโve been trying for over a year to get her to like coffee, but she just wonโt. You will just waste your time.โ
โOh no, believe me. I can make her like coffee.โ
You let out a laugh, which sounds more like a scoff. โNice try, but I donโt believe you.โ
โOkay, then letโs make a bet. If I can make you fall in love with coffee, you will have to do something for me.โ
โAnd if you donโt?โ, you ask.
โThen I will have to do something for you. Anything you want.โ
โAnything I want?โ Itโs a good deal, you think, but is it worth it having to drink a lot of coffee?
โI donโt have the time to come to your cafรฉ every day.โ
โWell, then how about once a week? It gives me time to perfect my coffee creations and give you the best versions of it.โ, Jungwon grins, holding his hand out for you. โDo we have a deal?โ
You sigh, taking his hand in yours and giving it a firm shake. You would do anything to prove to a coffee lover that coffee isnโt that great. โDonโt make me regret this.โ
โI wonโt! Just see, you will become a coffee lover!โ
โ1: Mocha
Rain. There is something so comforting about rain. The way it feels when soft, cold droplets of it fall on your heated skin. Relaxing your muscles and making you feel like youโre floating on top of a cloud into paradise where all your worries in life disappear and you can just exist. The smell, how it creeps up your whole body and makes you want to stop and take it in until even the dwell of it disappears. And you donโt mind that you come home with soaked clothes and wet hair. You donโt mind the coldness that lingers on your skin. Because the moment you dried your hair, changed your clothes, and got yourself a cup of tea, you can sit in front of your window and watch how the streets get washed up from the rain. You observe the cars driving into puddles and splashing the water in every direction. You watch as a couple, sharing an umbrella, walks past your apartment building, arms wrapped around each other to keep the other one warm from the coldness of the rain. And you look at the rain drops on your window, betting in your head on which one will win the race, happy when yours won and disappointed, when you focused on the wrong one.
You wrap your blanket around you tighter, as you hear the door to your apartment open. Knowing itโs Sunoo, you stand up, tiptoeing out of your bedroom.
โIt really had to rain today.โ, you hear him complain. โOut of all days.โ
You snicker a bit, watching how he tries to fix his wet hair in the mirror of your hallway. โDonโt laugh at me.โ, he speaks up, pouting in your direction. โNot all of us are rain lovers.โ
โDonโt be so dramatic. Rain is awesome.โ
Sunoo walks into the kitchen, taking out the rest of the Chinese food the two of you ordered yesterday. โYeah, when you sit at home and donโt get wet.โ He puts it on a plate and into the microwave. โWant some too?โ
โNo, I will pass.โ, you say, heaving yourself on top of the kitchen counter. โI will save my hunger for later. I want to eat another strawberry cake when I go to the cafรฉ.โ
โOh right.โ, the boy exclaims, taking out the plate and digging into his food. โYouโre meeting up with Jungwon today. Excited? Nervous? Giddy?โ
You pull your eyebrows into a frown. โWhy should I? Iโm just fulfilling my side of the bet.โ
โYeah, and also meeting up with a super cute boy. I saw you looking at him. You definitely find him cute.โ
You roll your eyes, jumping down from the kitchen counter and walking back into your room. โCute or not, Iโm just there to proof him wrong.โ
โกโหโบ. เผถ โหโนโโก
Entering the cafรฉ, you are immediately overcome with the same tranquility as last week. Insane how one place can make you feel so at ease.
โYou made it!โ, you hear a familiar voice exclaim. You look up to see Jungwon behind the counter. Heโs dressed in a white shirt with blue pants and his apron on. You notice the little print lingering on the left side of his chest. โCafรฉ Sunshineโ. Last week you didnโt look at the cafรฉโs name, just amazed by the unique furniture, but it definitely makes sense why the cafรฉ is named that way. Despite the rain you feel like you have stepped into the definition of sunshine.
โYeah, sorry for being late. My bus driver thought it was necessary to talk to another bus driver for 5 minutes.โ, you roll your eyes, sitting down at the same table you sat at last week.
โDonโt worry. Because of the rain no one came in today, so I had a lot of time to perfect your drink.โ
You nod at him, showing him a slight unsure smile. Being honest with yourself, you have to admit that youโre a bit scared. Itโs been a long time since you last tried coffee and trying it in front of someone who makes coffee as a living is intimidating you. You donโt want to be rude if you donโt like it. Despite loving to prove coffee lovers wrong, Jungwon is still mostly a stranger to you. A really friendly one as well.
โOkay, but please donโt be too disappointed. I really donโt want you to put so much time in it just for me to hate it.โ
He just smiles at you, his dimples on full display. โY/n, donโt worry, okay? I love making coffee and you just give me a reason to practice more, thatโs all. And if you donโt like it, I will just finish your drink.โ
You let out a deep breath, that you werenโt aware you were holding, clearly relieved at Jungwonโs reassurance.
โSo,โ, he says, putting the coffee down in front of you. โthis is a Mocha. Itโs a variation made from espresso, hot milk, and liquid chocolate. I even put a little cream topping on it to make it look cuter. And the same chocolate and high milk content makes the Mocha taste very mild and sweet. I gathered that you might dislike coffee because of the bitterness, so this is a great start.โ
You listen to everything Jungwon tells you and you have to admit, it makes you smile a bit. He really put a lot of thought into making a coffee that might match your taste.
โThank you, Jungwon.โ, you say, grabbing the cup with one hand. You canโt lie, it looks pretty good, and the chocolate almost covers the smell of coffee. But just almost.
โY/n.โ, Jungwon calls out your name, making you look right into his worried eyes. โYou donโt have to drink it if you donโt want to. You know that, right? I know we have a bet, but I would never force you to do anything you donโt want to do.โ
You show Jungwon a smile, appreciating his kindness. You swear this boy couldnโt get even more perfect.
โItโs not that Iโm uncomfortable, Iโm just scared of the taste. Last time I drank coffee I had a full on fit and had to drink a liter of milk to make the taste go away.โ That earns you a little chuckle from the boy sitting in front of you.
โI have an idea.โ, he says, standing up and walking back to the counter. He grabs a plate and puts a piece of the strawberry cake you ate last week on it. Walking back to you, Jungwon puts the plate down in front of you and takes a seat again.
โHere.โ, he says showing you his dimpled smile. โI saw you enjoying this cake last week. If you donโt like the coffee and need to get the taste away, just eat the cake.โ
โI like your way of thinking.โ, you state in a teasing voice.
You grab the mug once again, this time taking a small sip. The first thing you taste is the strong flavor of chocolate, but sadly that isnโt lasting long. Because two seconds later the espresso makes itself present on the flavor buds in your mouth. And while itโs not strong, you still shudder slightly at the bitterness.
Jungwon watches the whole scene, amusement clearly written all over his face. โThat bad?โ
โNo, itโs not bad. I mean, itโs not good either. Itโs just the bitterness.โ, you answer, already shoving a spoon of cake into your mouth.
โYouโre really a tough case, huh?โ, Jungwon remarks, leaning his head on one hand, watching you with his cat-like eyes.
โWarned you before, but you wouldnโt listen.โ, you shrug, sighing at the welcoming sweetness of the strawberries. โWant to just call it quits and admit that you wonโt get me to like coffee?โ
โWhat?โ, Jungwon exclaims, eyes wide and mouth agape in fake shock. โCalling it quits? Never. Darling, this is just the beginning of this journey.โ
โ2: Cappuccino
Jungwon wasnโt kidding when he told you that this was just the beginning. For the whole week he kept on texting you, sending you different designs of coffee and hyping up his recipes. He told you he is trying even harder to make you like the next one but when you tried to get some hints regarding the next coffee, he declined immediately, telling you to be patient.
And as much as you hate to admit it, you are actually looking forward to meeting him again.
Other than last week, the sun is out. Shining down on earth and painting it in a soft glow. That doesnโt go unnoticed by the rest of the people living in your town. The once empty cafรฉ is now filled with people to brim and instead of calmness washing over you when you enter, you feel a wave of stress overcoming you.
Youโve never been a people person, preferring staying at home in the comfort of your room where no one can disturb you. The only person you really tolerate is Sunoo and that also took a while until it got to that point, even if he is the complete opposite of you. Sunoo is a social butterfly, making friends wherever he goes. And while that sometimes annoys you, youโre happy your friend has that ability.
โHey, sorry Y/n. I will be with you in a second. Sit down and I will bring you your coffee.โ, Jungwon says as he passes you by, already hurrying to the next table he has to serve at.
You look around the room, recognizing some familiar faces from your college. It was bound to happen that this place wouldnโt stay hidden for a long time, but youโre kind of sad that so many people discovered this place and disturb your peace and quiet now.
Instead of following Jungwonโs instruction, you stay standing at the entrance. You donโt see a free table anyway. Every table is occupied by students who are loudly talking to each other. You see how Jungwon easily makes conversation, laughing at the things the students say and in return making them laugh at whatever he remarks.
Envy is whatโs filling you. You wish you could have this ease while talking to people. You wish you could just get over yourself, sit down and drink that damn coffe so you can go back home. But not only envy is filling you, disappointment as well. You were really looking forward to this. To spend time with Jungwon and trying something new. The whole weeklong you texted each other, not only about the coffee, but about random events in your life.
He told you how his cat at home only cuddles with him whenever sheโs sleepy and how when sheโs awake, she is a little diva. He also told you that thatโs probably the case because he treats her like a queen, giving her everything she wants and almost never being able to say no. You told him how you miss home sometimes. How you miss your weekly family night game evenings where you would destroy your brother at Uno and how all of you would lose your nerves over board games.
You shared a lot with each other and for some reason it wasnโt even hard. It felt so easy talking to him, opening up and sharing stuff that took you a while to tell Sunoo. Itโs like youโve known each other for years already. So, itโs understandable why you notice the slight feeling of disappointment coursing through your veins.
Jungwon notices you not moving away from the entrance and while he gets a few seconds to spare, he looks at your face. And what heโs greeted with worries him. Youโre pale. Your face shows clear signs of unease. And he feels stupid. He feels stupid because you told him how you donโt like crowded spaces and he forgot. He should have cancelled today and made you come back on a less crowded day, but he forgot. He was simply so excited to see you again and show you the coffee heโs been working on, that he just forgot. But youโre here now anyway and he would regret it if he just sent you away.
So instead, he ignores the call for his name from one of the tables and makes his way over to you. He gently takes your hand and guides you behind the counter where the register stands. โWait here.โ, he tells you in a gentle voice before walking back and grabbing a chair. He takes it behind the counter and places it down in front of you. โJust sit here, itโs the furthest away from all the people.โ
You show him a small appreciative smile before whispering a quiet thanks.
โIโm going to serve one of the tables and then Iโm right back with you, okay? We can try the new coffee then. Is that okay with you or do you rather want to go home?โ
Going home sounds tempting, but youโre already here and while you still feel a bit of panic in you, you actually really want to stay. For the bet, of course.
โNo.โ, you croak out. โI want to stay. I will wait here.โ
Almost immediately, his face breaks into a wide grin. โOkay, great. Give me a few seconds and Iโm right back.โ And with a bit more speed in his walk, he goes to serve the customers. From your position you have a good view of the table Jungwon is standing at. You recognize the girls sitting there from your math class. You see how they twist their hair as they talk to Jungwon, giving him flirty looks with their eyes and a small laugh escapes your mouth. Because while theyโre obviously flirting, Jungwon seems to be oblivious to it. He notes down their orders, giving them polite smiles and keeping the conversation light. Itโs cute.
When he returns a few minutes later he smiles, a bit relieved youโre still sitting in the same position as before. โIโm making your coffee now and believe me when I say I perfected this one.โ
You watch as he walks over to the machine, only three steps away from you and starts his work. He looks like heโs been doing this for years by how professionally he handles everything.
โYou know the girls were trying to flirt with you?โ, you say, giving him an amused smile.
โWhat?โ, he asks, thinking he heard you wrong over the loud noise of the coffee machine.
โThe girls at table 3, they were flirting with you.โ
โReally?โ, he questions, looking back just to see them smile and wave at him. โI didnโt notice.โ
โI know.โ, another laugh escapes your mouth. โYouโre so oblivious to it, itโs honestly funny.โ
โSo, you find it funny, huh?โ, he asks teasingly, raising his eyebrows. โNot so funny if I would put a lot of salt into your coffee.โ
You gasp. โYou would never.โ
โOh, watch me.โ, he says but before any of you can continue, a voice interrupts you.
โIโm sorry, I donโt want to be a bother.โ, the elderly woman that you saw here two weeks ago states. โI just wanted to pay, itโs a little too crowded in here for me today.โ
Jungwon gives her a gentle smile before putting down your half-made coffee and walking to the register. โYou would never be a bother, Mrs. Sim. Okay, you had your usual so that makes 8.99.โ
The lady takes out her purse and lays the money on the table. โThat your girlfriend?โ, she asks, a sly smile on her face.
โOh, no.โ, Jungwon stutters out, cheeks turning into a slight shade of red. โSheโs my friend.โ You give the lady a shy smile, trying not to let your heated cheeks show.
โWhat a bummer. Sheโs pretty.โ, she takes the change out of Jungwons hands and gives you two a last smile. โSee you tomorrow, Jungwon. Have a great day, you two.โ
Jungwon returns back to the coffee, a slight tension of embarrassment lingering in the air. โYou know this lady well?โ, you ask, trying to break the tension.
โOh yeah.โ, he clears his throat, trying to hide his cracking voice. โSheโs my friend Jakeโs grandma and was really close friends with my grandma. I look up to her because sheโs been huge part of my life for as long as I can remember.โ
You watch him as he purrs milk into the coffee, creating some kind of pattern. โThatโs so sweet. She seems really nice.โ
โShe is.โ, he remarks, walking over to you and handing you the cup of coffee. โTadaaaa. I even made coffee art for you.โ
As you look down at the hot liquid in your hands, you canโt help but smile. With the milk foam he created a little heart on top of the coffee.
โAw.โ, you coo at the boy in front of you. โThis looks so pretty.โ
โNow you only have to like it. Itโs a cappuccino. Pretty much everyone that has stepped foot into a cafรฉ has heard of it. Cappuccino is an Italian coffee drink made from an espresso and hot milk froth. I put a gentle sprinkle of cocoa powder on top to make it sweeter, but not too much because I didnโt want it to distract too much from the original taste.โ
A call of Jungwonโs name interrupts the small moment between the two of you.
โI will be there in a second.โ, he replies to the customer, still looking at you. โWe have to hurry up a bit today.โ
You nod, slowly guiding the cup to your lips and taking a little sip. Jungwon watches you intensively and you try your hardest not to show your dislike for the coffee he made.
โYou donโt like it.โ, he states.
โNo, itโs fine. I mean, itโs coffee, but itโs fine.โ, you try to convince him.
โY/n, donโt lie. I can clearly see how you donโt like it.โ, you can see the flash of disappointment in his eyes, but he quickly tries to play it off and shows you a bright smile. โThird times a charm, right? Next time you will love the coffee.โ
And for some reason you really hope you will. Even if that means you lose the bet.
โ3. Bรณmbon
โHow do you even know Jungwon? I mean itโs not like he goes to our college.โ, you ask Sunoo who lays beside you on the couch, watching an episode of a k-drama you found a few days ago.
โHe did.โ, Sunoo answers, eyes focused on the tv. โWe met at the history course first year of college and just sat beside each other for a while. Before he dropped out of college.โ
โWhy did he drop out?โ, you ask, turning your body so you can look at your best friend better.
โI donโt know.โ, he mumbles. โNever told me. Every time I saw him, I forgot to ask and now it would be too weird to bring it up now.โ
Itโs a shame, you think. You didnโt know that Jungwon was at your college, if you had, maybe you could have been friends earlier. Or you would have never talked to him. Thatโs the most likely scenario. If it werenโt for Sunoo bumping into you and spilling coffee on your favorite shirt, you would have never talked to him. Sunoo felt so bad that he searched online where your shirt was from and bought you two new ones. He gave those to you the next day and told you he bought an extra one in case someone else bumps into you and ruins the shirt again. After that, Sunoo decided to spend everyday with you. He walked with you to class, accompanied you to the library to study and trusted you enough to tell you his whole life story. And almost a year later, the two of you are roommates. Walking around each other with unbrushed teeth and bed hair, crying your eyes out after watching a sad k-drama and caring for each other whenever the other person lays in bed with a cold.
To sum it up, you have seen each other at your worst and that all wouldnโt have happened if Sunoo wasnโt so determined to be your friend. Without that happening, you probably would sit in a tiny apartment, watching tv all by yourself and wondering where the hell you went wrong with your life.
โSunoo?โ
โYeah.โ, the questioned man hums, still trying to focus on the drama thatโs playing.
โWhy did you decide to be my friend?โ, you ask him. Noticing that you have the urge to talk, Sunoo grabs the remote control and stops the k-drama. Moments like that happen rarely, where you start a conversation leading to a deeper and more emotional topic. Thatโs why he faces his body to you, giving you his full attention before he says his next words.
โWell, if I spilled my coffee on any other personโs favorite shirt, they would have lost their minds. They would have either cried or started screaming at me. But you just smiled at me. You told me thatโs it okay and that you get that my mind was somewhere else.โ, he smiles at the memory of the day you two met. โYou even went as far as telling me that the life of a college student is stressful enough than to worry about a shirt getting ruined. But even through your kind words and your bright smile, I could see some sadness in your eyes. I could tell you really liked the shirt, but instead of making me feel bad, you tried to comfort me.โ
Sunoo leans forward, taking one of your hands in his. โAnd from that moment on, I knew that I had to have someone like you in my life. And as cheesy as it sounds, but everyday that I get to spent with you as my best friend, Iโm glad that I spilled my coffee all over you.โ
โกโหโบ. เผถ โหโนโโก
A frown appears on your face as you read the โclosedโ sign thatโs hanging on the door of the cafรฉ. Looking through the window, you see no one inside, not even Jungwon. Did you mess up the day? But you clearly remember Jungwon telling you to meet him here on Saturday. Maybe he forgot. Or maybe you did read the message wrong. Unsure, you take out your phone, checking your messages.
Jungwon: Letโs meet up on Saturday. Itโs less crowdedย then. Does 2 pm sound good to you?
It is Saturday and while youโre here 10 minutes earlier, you donโt see how it can be closed. The cafรฉ normally opens at 8 am and closes at 5 pm.
You sigh, putting your phone back into your pocket, taking one last look into the cafรฉ. You get ready to just go home and spend the day either doing left up work for some assignments or just get into the bathtub with the book youโve been wanting to read. But before you can even turn around to walk back to your apartment, you hear a familiar voice calling for your name.
โY/nโ, Jungwon calls out. โWait up.โ He jogs over to you, keys jiggling in his hand.
โIโm so sorry. I wanted to be here earlier, but my mom had a problem with her phone, and I had to fix it for her.โ, he explains as he opens the door to the cafรฉ, holding it open so you can be the first one to enter.
โItโs fine. You donโt have to apologies, Jungwon.โ, you say, as you sit down at your usual table which thankfully wasnโt filled with students this time. Jungwon tosses his jacket on the chair next to yours, walking behind the registers and getting his machines started. ย
โWhy arenโt you taking the โclosedโ sign away?โ, you ask him, watching how he ties his apron.
โBecause we are closed today.โ His answer is kept short as heโs already focusing on making your coffee.
โWhat do you mean closed?โ You walk over to him, hating the distance between the two of you. You hate to admit it, but you like looking at him when you talk. For some reason, you find the small facial expressions he does whenever you talk to each other adorable. And those dimples. Yeah, canโt get enough of them as well.
โI closed the cafรฉ today, because I wanted you to feel comfortable while trying the coffee I make. And well, last week I could see how the only thing you wanted to do was go home, so I made sure today that wonโt cross your mind even once.โ
You feel heat crawling up your neck, painting your cheeks in a red color, as you listen to Jungwonโs words. He closed the cafรฉ just to make you feel more comfortable.
โJungwon, you really didnโt have to.โ, you say, but as soon as those words leave your mouth, he dismisses them.
โY/n, itโs important to me that you feel comfortable. I know that this is all a bet we try to win, but over the last three weeks you became a dear person to me, and I will do anything to try to make you as happy as you can be while spending time with me.โ
Butterflies fly wildly through your stomach, and you think you might have to throw up. What is happening to you?
Before you can answer him, which you werenโt even sure if you can, he takes the cup of coffee and walks back to your table. You trail behind him like a puppy and take a seat, looking down at the two layered coffee.
โThis one is called a Bรณmbon. Itโs originally from Spain. Itโs just two ingredients, espresso and sweetened condensed milk. It has two layers, because the condensed milk holds the espresso up without mixing it like milk would do. Itโs perfect for someone with a sweet tooth.โ
If you had to decide between the two coffees youโve seen and this one, you would choose the Bรณmbon based on its looks.
โWell, it already won, because it looks good.โ, you remark, making Jungwon let out a small laugh. Another wave of butterfliesโ courses through your belly as you hear the gentle sound. Maybe youโre getting sick.
โGive it a try.โ And like routine, you take a small sip, ignoring the waiting eyes of Jungwon.
But this time is different. While you can still taste the lingering bitterness of the espresso, the sweetness of the condensed milk is almost completely washing it away. You know, you will still not order this for yourself next time you go to a cafรฉ, but you can admit that itโs not bad.
โI actually kind of like this one.โ Jungwonโs eyes widen at your statement, making him look like a little child on Christmas.
โWait really?โ, he asks, not believing what you just said.
โYeah. I mean, I will probably not order it again, but for coffee itโs good.โ
Jungwon could just accept that, say the bet is over, get his side of the prize and move on with his life. But for some reason that still isnโt enough for him. Three weeks ago, he told you he would make you fall in love with coffee, the same way he fell in love with it. You, telling him the coffee he made is good, but you wonโt drink it again, isnโt what he meant when he was proposing the bet.
When he heard you admitting to hating coffee, he felt a crack in his heart. Jungwon was surrounded by coffee his whole life, his grandmother introducing him to the wonders and varieties of it. He learned to love coffee at a young age. When he was ten, he could do better coffee art than most of the big cafรฉ owners in the city. And while he accepts that every person has different tastes and opinions, something in the way you were so sure of yourself made him want to challenge you. Because who could change your mind if not him? Even his grandmother would have tried to do the same.
So, he canโt give up on the bet. Not when he is that close to making you like coffee. He just has to find the right one for you.
And maybe, just maybe, he doesnโt want the time with you to be over yet and searches for an excuse to see you again. Even if itโs just once a week. ย
โJungwon?โ, you gently call for his name. โAre you okay? Did I upset you?โ
โNo!โ, he croaks out, clearing his throat before continuing. โYou could never, Y/n. Especially not with expressing your honest opinion.โ
He shows you another smile. โI think I already know what coffee to do next.โ
โNext? Didnโt you win the bet. I mean I liked this coffee.โ, you tilt your head to the side, giving him a confused look. And he thinks that this might be the cutest thing youโve ever done.
โThe bet was to make you fall in love with coffee, not to make you like a drink that you wonโt ever touch again in your life. I want to make a drink that you canโt get enough of.โ
You look at him, out of words. โThe determination you have.โ, you say, shaking your head. โBut this canโt go on forever. We have to set some kind of limit or else I wonโt even have the possibility to win this bet.โ
โOkay, how about two more coffees. If I canโt make you fall in love with any of those, you won.โ Once more, Jungwon holds out his hand for you. You take it, giving it another firm shake, sealing the new deal.
โTo whoever wins the bet and has to fulfill the wish of the other person.โ, you cheer on, holding the coffee up in the air.
And while Jungwon is watching you, he isnโt sure who he wants to win the bet anymore.
โ4: Frappuccino
The sun is shining brightly, laying warm on your skin, and filling you with happiness. Maybe thatโs why Jungwon decided to close the store again and have the two of you meet up at the local park. On any other occasion you would have thought it was date, but since you know this is all just for the bet, you quickly dismiss that thought.
Instead, you sit on the small park bench with your eyes closed and a small smile on your lips as you enjoy the warmth of the sun. Considering it just being the beginning of spring, the sun hasnโt shown its face in its glory a lot. So, you take in every ray of sunshine you can before it decides to go away again.
As you sit on the park bench, waiting for Jungwon, you take in your surroundings. You listen to the soft chirping of the birds that fly over your head, searching for things to build their nest with. A little squirrel, happy about a nut he found, quickly making its way across the wide meadow of the park to the tree it houses in. Kids are playing on the small playground, running around, and laughing until their stomach hurts. You see the parents, watching their children with fondness in their eyes, wishing to be a kid again and having back this ease in life. An older lady sits at the small pond, throwing bread into it for the ducks to eat. Which they do, giving their approvement of the bread in the form of loud croaks. A blue butterfly makes its way over the meadow, flying gracefully and settling down on a flower not far away from you.
While you watch all of that unfold, your thoughts keep on drifting away to one specific person. Jungwon.
The two of you spend the whole week on the phone together, calling each other after every hard day and talking until late in the night. Just for the two of you to wake up the next day tired, but with fond memories.
The more you talk to him, the more you realize the constant feelings you have when youโre around him. While you do have butterflies swirling around your belly whenever his name is just mentioned, you donโt feel nervous around him. Of course, your cheeks turn into a soft shade of marron when he compliments you and your breath sometimes stocks for a moment, when he gets closer, but you still feel comfortable around him. Completely at ease. Like you do when you step foot into the cafรฉ. Jungwon makes you feel like you could conquer the world if you wanted to. Encouraging your every dream and never failing to make a miserable day better.
You realize how you suddenly donโt want the bet to end. You donโt want to not see him every week anymore.
All you want is to spend everyday with him. Listen to him ramble about the customers that visit Cafรฉ Sunshine, hear him laugh at a bad joke you tell and look at you with his wide eyes and dimpled smile.
But the more time you spent thinking, the more anxious you got. You two never met up outside of the cafรฉ. It was always at the same location, the same comfort zone. What happens if you two realize that outside of the cafรฉ you might not get along that well? What if he was so dazed by work all the time, that he never actually took a good look at you. And now out in the open with the sun shining so bright, he might change his mind about you. While you donโt think Jungwon is shallow, a part of you still makes you want to cancel the meet up.
You are so kept up by your thoughts that you donโt even notice someone sitting down beside you. Jungwon watches you with an amused smile, seeing that youโre deeply lost in your own thoughts.
But that gives him some time to take you in.
Because of the sunny and warm weather, you opted to wear a yellow summer dress that makes you look like youโre out of a Disney movie. There is some part of him that hopes that you put this dress on for him. That you put this dress on thinking about the theme of his cafรฉ and him and wanted him to notice that. But he ignores that thought and instead decides to just keep on watching you. As creepy as it may look like, Jungwon finds it really comforting. Sitting in silence with someone, appreciating nature and just living in the moment. These are moments Jungwon doesnโt get often since he works at the cafรฉ all day long. And when he gets home, he is too tired to do anything except for laying in his bed and sleep. Itโs no surprise Jungwon barely has any friends. There are regulars that come to the cafรฉ, but most of them are elderly people. Sometimes, like two weeks ago, there are people his age at the cafรฉ, but college life is hard. The constant study and the lack of money is keeping most of the students away from his cafรฉ. He understands that, of course he does, but part of him is disappointed. Jungwon wished he could make more friends, have people to talk to everyday about the things that are going on in his life. Have people to go on trips with, making late night drives to McDonalds and laughing at the lamest jokes together. Have karaoke nights, get completely wasted together and have one of those 3 am deep talks. Thatโs all Jungwon wants. And while he does have Jake in his life, he doesnโt get to have those things. Jake moved to Australia two years ago to study. So Jungwon really has no one. No one but you.
And for once in his life, he thinks he can really have all the things he has ever wished for with you. He sees this kind of person in you that he doesnโt want to lose, that he canโt lose. Itโs been 4 weeks of texting, calling, and meeting up once a week and he already canโt imagine a life without you. Itโs weird. Itโs weird how you can meet a person and from one to another day that person is one of the most important people in his life.
Jungwon also canโt deny the underlying feelings heโs evolving for you. He isnโt stupid. Of course, he notices the way his body reacts whenever you step into the room or when he hears your voice over the phone. It also doesnโt help that he thinks about you everywhere he goes. Somehow, he sees you in everything. When he goes grocery shopping and he sees hot chocolate, he thinks about you and the first time you met. When he walks past a book shop, he thinks about you and your constant complains about your stupid English Lit teacher. And only yesterday when half the city was covered in rain and the other blessed by the light of the sun, he thought about you. He wanted to send you a picture of the rainbow that was forming in the sky, telling you how beautiful it is. And if you agreed, he would have told you that itโs not half as beautiful as you. But of course, he canโt do that. He canโt do it because you would think he is weird to tell you such things. And he canโt do it because there is no way you could ever reciprocate his feelings.
Jungwon notices that quite some time passed by, so he decides to gently tap your shoulder. You wipe your head around, looking right into his eyes. By the sight of his face, you let out a sigh of relief.
โYou scared the shit out of me, Jungwon.โ, you say, a small laugh escaping your lips.
โSorry, Iโve been sitting here for a few minutes, but you were so deeply in your thoughts, I didnโt want to disturb you.โ Blush creeps up your neck. Have you really been that kept up in your mind that you didnโt even notice Jungwonโs presence right beside you?
โPenny for your thoughts?โ, he asks, scooting a bit closer to you.
โOh.โ, you stutter a bit. โUhm, just college stuff. Assignments, exams, deadlines, you know the drill.โ
Jungwon nods and you can see something changing in his face. Did you say something wrong?
โLetโs pick out a place to sit, I brought a blanket and some things from the cafรฉ.โ You nod at his words, standing up and following him as he walks through the meadow. He finds a place where the grass isnโt high and no flowers bloom, so you two donโt destroy anything. You help Jungwon lay out the blanket and together you plop down on it.
โWant to know what special drink I prepared for you today?โ, Jungwon asks, already opening the small basket he took with him.
โWhat a stupid question, of course I want to see it.โ
He laughs at your choice of words and gets out a plastic cup, putting it down in front of you. โI have to say, I went against all my barista morals with this one.โ You take the cup in your hand, gasping slightly as you feel the coldness in your hands. โThis is a Frappuccino as Starbucks likes to call it. Itโs basically espresso, milk, ice cups and whatever sweet thing you want to have in there. Normally I donโt make stuff like that. I like to stick to the classics, but since itโs really hot today I thought that it would be nice for you. And I heard a lot of people say that this is a great starter drink for people who donโt like coffee. I never made it before, so if it sucks, Iโm so sorry. Blame the Starbucks recipe I followed, not me.โ
You listen to his ramble with a small smile on your lips. Itโs cute how much thought he puts into your weekly coffee meet up. You just wished he would do it for you and not for the bet.
โWell thank you, Jungwon. It looks pretty tasty. What sweet thing did you put it?โ
โI put in caramel, since itโs one of the sweetest things I found in the cafรฉ. I hope you donโt mind.โ You shake your head, finding his constant appeasement adorable.
โI donโt mind at all.โ The cold drink in your hands feels refreshing compared to the hot weather. Youโre not used to these temperatures, having lived in cold winter for a few months. But you canโt complain, you love that the sun finally shows its face again.
Without thinking much, you raise the cup to your mouth, placing the straw between your lips and taking a small sip. All while Jungwon watches you with an expecting look on his face. This is the second to last coffee he made for you. Of course, he still has one more chance to prove to you the wonders of coffee, but the hopes that this one will be the mind changer for you are high. After all he has to remind himself that this is a bet. A silly little bet the two of you agreed on, nothing more.
โYouโre torturing me with your poker face. What do you think?โ
โIf Iโm being honest with you,โ, you start your sentence looking down at the drink. โI like the ice in it since itโs really cooling down my body, but the drink itself is okay, I guess.โ You shrug your shoulders but keep your gaze down, so you donโt have to see the flash of disappointment on Jungwonโs face. โI liked the drink last week better. It tasted more real, you know. I could taste how much love you put into the coffee and this one tastes really artificial.โ
Even though Jungwon feels a bit sad that you donโt like the coffee he made today, a part of him feels proud on how you can taste the differences in the coffee he made. Last week as the weeks before, he made the coffees with a lot of time and love, not thinking much of it and just following his passion. With this one he tried too hard. He tried too hard to find something you could like and forgot what this is actually about. He made something that he would never sell in his own cafรฉ, and it felt ย so wrong, but he was so desperate to find something you will like, that he went against his own comfort.
โThank you for noticing that, Y/N. I promise you that next week I will make something I stand behind again, instead of trying to copy coffee from Starbucks.โ
You smile at his words, putting the drink down again. โOh, I almost forgot. I brought you some iced tea in case you donโt like the coffee.โ Jungwon grabs the basket and takes out the drinks he brought, along with all the snacks he made himself.
โJungwon, you didnโt have to.โ, you coo, looking at the delicious treats. You can feel your belly grumbling, remembering that the only thing you ate today was a bowl of cornflakes.
As the two of you munch on the snacks in silence, you remember the conversation you had with Sunoo not so long ago.
โCan I ask you something?โ, you speak up after a while, making Jungwon look up from the cake in his hands. He nods softly, dimples appearing on his cheeks. โYou donโt have to answer if you donโt want to, but itโs just something thatโs been on my mind.โ
You clear your throat, moving on the blanket so that you sit facing him more. โSunoo told me that the two of you went to the same class for a while last year, but suddenly you stopped going. When I asked him why, he said he didnโt know. Why did you quit college and started working at the cafรจ?โ
Jungwon knew this question would come sooner or later, but the timing of it still catches him off guard. He thinks for a few moments, not sure how he should answer you.
โWell, I started going to college because I wanted to get a higher education. I always loved going to school and if you believe it or now, but I never missed a day of school when I was still in high school. I didnโt quit because college got too much for me, I loved going there. I loved the stress of the deadlines. I loved spending nights studying and I loved attending all the classes and gathering new knowledge.โ
โThen why did you quit?โ, you ask.
โBecause my grandma died.โ, he says, his voice breaking at the end of the sentence. โIt was all so sudden. She was fine before and then suddenly I got a call in the middle of class telling me she was at the hospital.โ
You scoot forwards, taking his hands into yours and giving them a soft squeeze. โMy grandma spent her teenage years dreaming about owning a cafรฉ. Itโs all she ever wanted. Back then she didnโt have a phone where she could google recipes for coffee. She had to teach it to herself and thatโs exactly what she did. My grandma sat in the garage with a coffee machine she got from an old store and coffee beans she stole from her parents and worked on the perfect coffee recipes. While other teenagers her age had lemonade stands, my grandma had a coffee stand. She sold the coffee she made and saved the money.โ
You can see the fondness in his eyes as he tells the story. โOne day as she walked through the city, she saw a for sale sign in front of a small building and when she looked inside through the window, she knew that this was it. This was the place she wanted to build her cafรฉ in. And against her parentsโ will, she did. She bought all the furniture and put months into making it look the way it is. My grandma was the one who painted the walls yellow, who created a save space for people and made everything thatโs on the menu herself. She created a place where everyone can be themselves, where no one is excluded, bullied, or shamed in any way. She chose yellow because it symbolizes optimism, energy, joy, happiness, and friendship.โ
โFrom the second I was able to walk I learned all about coffee. How to make it, how to serve it and how to create my own recipes. She taught me the knowledge I have today.โ You get lost in his words, the story playing in your head. And you are thankful. Thankful to a woman youโve never met for not only giving Jungwon something he talks about with so much passion, but for also being such a huge positive part in his life.
โShe also named the cafรฉ after me.โ, he adds, a shy smile forming on his lips. โWhen I was a child, I would always smile. At stranger in the supermarket. At the waitress in restaurants. I was a happy child and so she gave me the nickname sunshine. She would always call me by that name. And one day when we walked into the cafรฉ together something clicked inside of her. She made this place to bring joy into peopleโs life and no word describes it better than sunshine.โ
You grin at that yourself, finding the little nickname fitting. From the moment you met him, you noticed the positive energy about him, like he baths in sunshine every day. Something about just being in his presence makes all your worries melt away.
โSo, when I heard the news, I knew I couldnโt give the cafรฉ up. My parents are busy at their own workplaces. And no one could have continued my grandmaโs dream better than me. I mean, she taught me everything she knew, everything she put into the cafรฉ. The only logical thing was to drop out of school and continue what my grandma couldnโt finish. Itโs what she would have wanted.โ
You nod at his words, taking a few seconds to process all the information you just got. Jungwon gives you that time, looking down at your hands which are still holding his.
โIโm sorry for what happened with your grandmother. Iโm really sorry you had to go through that.โ, you start, squeezing his hands softly again. โAnd I love how passionate your grandma was about her dream. I admire her for building up something and putting so much time and energy into it. I canโt even imagine how hard that must have been. But I have one question.โ
Jungwonโs head lifts, gently tipping to the side, signaling you to continue. โYou said that your grandma would have wanted for you to run the cafรฉ. But do you want it?โ
Jungwon is taken back by your question, his face forming into a frown. If he wants this? He never thought about it. For him it was a no brainer. He loves making coffee and talking to people, hearing new stories and making their days better, even if itโs just for a few minutes. Jungwon knew no one could do the job better than him and that his grandmother would have never trusted anyone else with the cafรฉ. But does he actually want it? He never thought he would be at this place. He thought he would finish college and get a high paid job his parents chose for him. Jungwon never thought he would drop out of college to become a Barista.
He looks into your eyes, uncertainty still lingering in them. โItโs not what I planned for myself, if I am being honest with you, but it is what I want. I love doing it and I canโt imagine my life without going into this little cafรฉ every single day.โ
You smile at him, pleased with his answer. โAre you happy? Happy with the decisions you made so far?โ
โYes.โ, he answers. This time without a hint of hesitation. โYes, I am happy.โ
โThatโs all I wanted to hear.โ You let go of his hands, grabbing your iced tea again. โIf youโre happy, then Iโm happy.โ
And in that moment as Jungwon hears the words that leave your mouth, he knows that there is no way out anymore.
He has fallen for you, way too hard and way too deep.
โ 5: Vanilla Latte
Over the whole week Jungwon barely texted you.
He wished you good luck on one exam you had and texted you the details of the next time you meet up, but other than that, he stayed silent.
And while you could have just texted him, part of you was holding you back. You never talked about what the two of you are. Friends? Acquaintances? Or more? Is this going to end after the next time you meet up? Or have the two of you become so close that you will still want to see each other afterwards?
Mulling over those questions, you didnโt want to text Jungwon, thinking that it will just confuse you even more.
Jungwon on the other hand waited for you to text him. While this sounds super childish, he just wanted to see if you reach out to him yourself. Maybe he just thought you missed him as much as he missed you this week.
As Jungwon stands in front of the milk counter in the grocery store, he doesnโt notice a figure approaching him.
โJungwon?โ, he turns around, being faced by a bright smile.
โSunoo, hey. Itโs been a while since weโve last seen each other. How have you been?โ
Sunoo sets down his grocery bag thatโs already filled with plenty of things. Jungwon assumes you send Sunoo to shop for the items you need, since you told him once how much you hate going grocery shopping and how time consuming and energy draining it is. โIโve been great. College life is stressing me out, but itโs nothing I canโt manage. What about you?โ
โThatโs great to hear, Sunoo.โ, he sends Sunoo a soft smile. Even though he barely sees Sunoo anymore, he was an important person in Jungwons life for a few weeks. He was the only friend Jungwon had in class, a person he could talk to in his breaks and someone he could exchange notes with. It also helped that Sunoo always knew how to make Jungwons day a bit better. โIโve also been good. The cafรฉ is getting more popular, which means more work for me, but I enjoy it. The people are all so kind and Iโve never had this many good conversations with strangers before.โ
โThatโs amazing, Jungwon. Iโm so proud of your accomplishments.โ Sincerity laces Sunooโs voice, clearly happy for his friend. โI would love to continue talking to you, but I have a hangry girl in the apartment and if I take any longer, she will be even more obnoxious than she already his.โ
He can tell Sunoo is being sarcastic, but he canโt help to be jealous about it. Sunoo gets to see you every day. He comes home everyday to you.
Jungwon envies him for that. Not only does he want to see you every day, but he also wants a great relationship with you. He wants to be able to tease you and make jokes until your belly hurts from laughing. He wants to come home to you and watch as you study, listening to your complaints about the work and lending you a helping hand. He wants to be the person you put your trust in, the person you rely on when things get tough. But he canโt have that and itโs tearing him apart.
โHow is Y/N?โ, he asks before Sunoo can leave. โWe havenโt texted much this week.โ
โOh, sheโs good, I guess. Stressed out and sleep deprived, but other than that fine.โ Jungwon just nods, sending Sunoo an appreciative smile before turning back to the milk. Sunoo notices the change in his behavior, seeing right through him. Everyone with a working pair of eyes can clearly see what is going on between the two of you. โBut she misses you.โ
Jungwon wipes around at those words, eyes wide and mouth agape. โWhat?โ
โShe misses you. She talks about you everyday and how she canโt wait to see you again on Saturday.โ, Sunoo smiles widely, grabbing his bag again and throwing it over his shoulder. โShe seems to really like you, because I never heard her talk about someone as much as she talks about you.โ
Jungwon doesnโt know what to answer. A million thoughts swirling around his brain.
โI really got to go now. Have a great day, Jungwon. We will hopefully see each other soon.โ With that Sunoo turns around, disappearing in the big store and leaving Jungwon to stand there alone with his thoughts.
What is he supposed to do now?
โกโหโบ. เผถ โหโนโโก
There are signs of nervousness seen in your steps as you walk to the cafรฉ. Everyone thatโs passing you by can notice that. The way you pick the skin on your fingers, how your tongue darts out every five seconds to wet your lips and the obvious shaking of your limps. People could also think you are on hard drugs, but you quickly dismiss that thought.
You donโt even know what exactly makes you so nervous about today. Maybe it is because you havenโt heard from Jungwon and youโre scared that you did something wrong. Or maybe it is because you know this day will end your bet and you have no idea what will happen after it.
The uncertainty is really driving you insane.
You tried talking to Sunoo about it, explaining him your situation and having him understand you. But you quickly noticed how that did not work out, because all your best friend said was โJust confess to him. Tell him how you feel and how you donโt want to stop seeing him. Whatโs the worst that could happen?โ
The worst is that you will end up making a fool out of yourself. You still hope that the least Jungwon wants is to stay friends with you and continue your weekly meetups. You donโt want to ruin that just because you feel nervous about him. Itโs not like you do have feelings for him. Itโs probably just a stupid little crush that will go away as soon as the two of you leave the getting to know phase.
Still, you stand in front of the cafรฉ, a place you feel comfort and happiness in, and you canโt get yourself to actually open the door.
Seeing you through the window, Jungwon walks up to open the door for you. โHey Y/N, come in.โ
With hesitant steps you walk past him and almost immediately, the familiar feeling of tranquility washes over you. You take in the scent of fresh baked cake and newly brewed coffee, thinking that this could possibly be the last time you stand in here. And you notice the slight scent of Jungwon.
Every time you walked into the cafรฉ you noticed a scent that you couldnโt recognize. Not a bad smell, just something that mingles with the normal scent of the cafรฉ. Only last week when the two of you sat in the park together, you noticed that that scent belonged to him. And weirdly enough, it brought you comfort. Maybe it is because you associate it with the Jungwonsโ workplace or maybe it is just Jungwon himself that makes you feel that way.
โAre you okay?โ, he asks as he pulls out the chair - of the table you always sit at โ for you to sit down.
โYeah, Iโm fine. What about you? Did you have a stressful week?โ As you watch how Jungwon makes his way to the counter to prepare your coffee, you notice how you could never get sick of looking at him. Everyone with eyes sees Jungwonโs obvious attractiveness. His sharp features, the cat-like eyes, his silky brown hair, the wide shoulders, and the dimples. God, those dimples will kill you some day. You could look at him all day long and not get tired of seeing his face, of seeing his smile or the concentrated look on his face whenever he makes coffee. But not only does his appearance allure you, but his personality as well. The witty comments, the way his voice changes whoever he is talking to, his friendliness as he talks to customers. The way he leans down to talk to the children who come to the cafรฉ, showing them a warm smile as he gifts them a free cupcake. The care he shows for the people he loves, even if itโs sometimes not as noticeable. The passion he carries for his job and the things he loves. And his mind. The thoughts and opinions he carries with him. The way he voices his feelings and tries to never hurt anyone with the things he says.
You could never get tired of that. You could never get tired of him.
โMy week was good. The cafรฉ is booming with new customers, so I have a lot to do. But Iโm not complaining. I love how this place gets more and more recognition the more time passes by.โ He walks back to you with a see-through cup in his hand that he puts down on the table in front of you.
โThis is a Vanilla Latte. Itโs not been on the menu for so long, I just added it a few weeks back. It is made of espresso, steamed milk, a little bit of fine foam and lastly vanilla syrup. Itโs sweet, maybe he even a bit too sweet. But I thought since you kind of liked the Bรณmbon, this will be a good choice for you.โ, he smiles, sitting down on the chair beside yours.
โWhat will happen if I donโt like it?โ, you ask him, eyeing the coffee in front of you.
โThen you won the bet.โ, he answers you, stating the obvious.
โNo, I mean what will happen to you? Will you be disappointed?โ
โYeah.โ, he says. โI think so, but there is nothing I can do to change that. Even though I put a lot of effort into making those coffees for you every week, it was still fun for me. And a way to practice my abilities. So yeah, I will be disappointed, but I will also be happy that you at least tried to understand me and my love for coffee.โ
You nod at his words, taking them in. Part of you was afraid of taking a sip, just like the first week of your bet, but this time for a complete different reason. This time you arenโt afraid of trying something new. This time you are scared that whatever will happen after you take a sip, will change the relationship between you and Jungwon. Now you really want to like the coffee.
Your hand trembles as you reach out for the cup, but the warmth of it eases your nerves, even if it is just a little bit. You lift it to your lips and before thinking too much you take a sip, already used to this routine. Jungwon, as perse, watches you with wide, curious eyes. The hope of turning you into a coffee lover still lingers inside him.
โSo, what are your final words?โ, he asks after a few seconds.
โItโs definitely the best one you made so far. I really like how strong the vanilla flavor is.โ, you answer, trying to end it on that.
โBut?โ He hears it in your voice and sees it in your face.
โIโm sorry, Jungwon. I just really donโt think coffee is for me. I am so thankful how hard you tried, and I could really see and taste the love and time you put into this. And Iโm so proud of you and you should be too, because you have a real talent and make a lot of people happy with what you do.โ You smile at him, putting the coffee down in front of him. โBut I guess I will just stay with hot chocolate.โ
A shy smile forms on Jungwons lips as he hears your kind words, and he can feel the heat crawling up his neck. โThank you, Y/N. You donโt know how much your words mean to me. And donโt worry about not liking coffee. As you said, itโs just not for you. Even someone like me has to accept that there are actually people out there who donโt like coffee.โ
There is something lingering in the air. Like the two of you desperately want to say something, but the words donโt want to come out. You feel the mood visibly shift into awkwardness, uncertainty, and maybe even longing. You canโt handle it. You canโt handle the mess of the feelings inside of you and the way Jungwon looks at you right now. His eyes shimmering with a feeling you canโt describe. He is looking at you like he can read you. Like you are open book to him, and he knows all the answers to the questions that circle around your mind.
Itโs getting unbearable. You think you might break under his gaze and spill out every question that you donโt even have an answer for. And thatโs not what you want. As long as you arenโt sure about things, you wonโt talk to him about it.
So, instead you get up from your seat, earning a confused look from the brown-haired boy. โAre you leaving?โ
โYeah, sorry. I promised Sunoo to be home early so we can have a movie night.โ You put on your jacket, grabbing your bag. โThank you for everything Jungwon.โ You send him a wave and a small smile before heading to the door.
โWait!โ, he calls out for you, making you turn around. โYou won the bet. What about your prize?โ
โI will get back to you for that one. See you, Jungwon.โ
And before he can say anything else you are out the door, leaving him and taking half his heart with you.
โ 5 ยฝ Affogato
In fact you did not get back to Jungwon. He canโt lie and say that he hasnโt been waiting every day, checking his phone regularly to see if you texted him. Even when he hears the door open, his head whips up just to be disappointed that itโs not you coming to the cafรฉ.
When the first Saturday came around, Junwon felt weird seeing other customers in the cafรฉ and not just you. He felt as if a part of him was missing. Somehow, he couldnโt get himself to stop thinking about you wherever he went.
You on the other hand spent most of the last days in your room. Except for the times you had to go to class. You keep on mulling over the things in your head, trying to figure out your feelings. It doesnโt make sense to you that you have feelings so strongly for someone you just met. You thought that the feelings would go away as soon as you didnโt see Jungwon anymore. Thinking that it was just a small crush. But the more time passes and the longer you go without seeing him, the more you long for him, the more you miss him and the more you have this wrenching feeling inside of your chest. When Saturday came along, you didnโt know what to do with yourself. You wanted to go to the cafรฉ, surprise Jungwon and tell him all the thoughts which have been plaguing your mind. But you couldnโt. There is a part of you that still isnโt sure if what you feel is genuine and a part of you is afraid of rejection. Just because you feel that way doesnโt mean he will. You yourself have doubts on how fast those feelings blossomed. There is a huge possibility that he just did all that for the bet. For the sheer satisfaction of being right. Of proving a point.
All of this didnโt go unnoticed by your best friend. Sunoo has been worried about you ever since you came back from the last time you met Jungwon. He noticed that something went wrong and as he tried to talk to you about it, all you did was dismiss him, telling him you didnโt want to talk about it.
But Sunoo is sick of it. Sick of seeing you so sad and he decides that something has to change.
He ignores your sounds of complaint as he enters your room, muttering for him to leave as you hide yourself under your blanket. โGet up.โ His tone is stern, the complete opposite from his normal sweet and friendly voice. It makes you peak your head out of your blanket to look at him.
โWhy?โ, you ask, making him sigh. Sunoo sits down at the edge of your bed, pulling your blanket down.
โI want you to stop drowning yourself in self-pity and instead get up and do something against whatever it is your feeling.โ You sit up, knees against your chest, wrapping your arms securely around them. โStop being so oblivious and open your eyes. I donโt know what exactly youโre going through, since you wonโt tell me, so Iโm just going to assume. You are in love with Jungwon, but you are scared. Not only that he wonโt like you back, but you are scared of love itself. You fear the potential heart break that it can leave. You think that if you feel this worse already even though you are not even dating, you donโt want to know what it feels when you actually get your heart broken.โ
Sunoo takes a deep breath, running a hand through his hair and thinking carefully about his next words. โBut that is not how life works, Y/N. If you go through life, afraid of everything that might hurt you, you wonโt live. You will hold yourself back from opportunities, from new doors opening. You will stay where you are right now, not moving an inch forward. And believe me thatโs not how you want to live your life. So please, for the love of God, go to the poor boy and confess your feelings. I met him at the store the other day and when I told him that you miss him, you should have seen the way his face lit up. He is head over heels for you. He closed his god damn store on Saturdays for you just so that you could feel comfortable while meeting him. He researched coffee and spent a lot of his time making them just to find something that you will like. And when you had a bad day because of the college stress he spent the whole night on the phone with you, making jokes and trying to get you to laugh. Thatโs not something someone does just because. Jungwon does those things because he likes you.โ
โYou really think so?โ, you ask, your voice small and showing all the doubts that gathered over the days.
โI know so.โ, Sunoo answers, squeezing one of your knees softly. โGo get your man.โ
โกโหโบ. เผถ โหโนโโก
You never thought you would be in a situation like this. It almost feels like youโre in a movie.
The way you run to the cafรฉ, 5 minutes before it closes, just so you could catch Jungwon before he leaves. The wind blowing your hair through the air and the flowers of the cherry blossom trees, swirling around, painting the scene even more dramatic than it already is.
By the time you arrive at the cafรฉ, you are out of breath and covered by the pink flowers. But you donโt care, you storm into the small building with determination.
Jungwon stands with his back turned behind the counter, washing the dishes since there is no one in the cafรฉ anymore. โIโm sorry.โ, he says, back still turned to you. โIโm closing now. You can comeback tomorrow and I can make you some delicious coffee.โ
You smile at his words, walking up to him. โYou canโt even make an exception for me?โ At the sound of your voice, Jungwon turns around. Forgetting that his hands are still wet and drenching his apron and the floor with it. But that is not important. What is important is that you actually stand in front of him.
โY/N? What are you doing here?โ
โWell, I won the bet. I came to claim my prize.โ A smile graces your lips, but Jungwon doesnโt know what he means. He doesnโt know anything. Itโs like his brain stopped working the moment he heard your voice.
โYeah, right.โ, voice breaking in nervosity. โWhat is it you want me to do?โ
โI want you to go on a date with me.โ
โWhat?โ Jungwon canโt believe his own ears. Did you really just say that?
โI want you to go on a date with me.โ, you repeat. โOver the past few weeks, I noticed myself slowly falling for you. I didnโt tell you because I was scared. I was terrified of getting hurt, to the point where I thought that shutting you out and denying my feelings for you was the best way to deal with this situation. But I quickly got to see that it only caused the exact opposite to happen. I started missing you so much that I felt like a piece of me was not with me anymore. I realized that I canโt live like this. I canโt keep running away from things the moment I get scared and finally face my fears.โ You smile at him, tears forming in your eyes.
โI like you, Jungwon. I like you so much, itโs scary. But even considering all this, I want you in my life. No, I need you in my life. And you may not feel the same thing, but I canโt go on knowing I never tried.โ
Junwon doesnโt know what to say. No words want to leave his mouth. So instead of saying anything, he walks around the counter and stops right in front of you. He pulls you closer to him and the next thing you know you feel his lips softly pressing against your own.
You melt into him, gripping his shoulders tightly as you kiss him back. You get lost in his scent, in the softness of his lips and the warmth inside of your heart. And you know that this is something you could get used to.
โHow about we have it now?โ, he asks you after breaking the kiss. His hand tugging a stray strand of hair behind your ear.
โStart what now?โ
โOur date.โ, he states, letting go of you and walking back behind the counter. โI have the perfect idea. Sit down please.โ
You do as he says, watching him work on something. Jungwon joins you not long after, placing a big bowl of ice cream in front of you.
โThis is an Affogato. Itโs not really coffee, more of a dessert. But it is vanilla ice cream with espresso shots. I got this idea last week and thought you might want to try it out.โ Jungwon grabs a spoon himself and together you take a bite of the dessert he prepared.
โThoughts?โ, he asks, the situation way too familiar to the both of you.
โMeh, itโs fine. But I think I will just stick to normal ice cream.โ He laughs at your words, a bright cheerful laugh, that fills your whole body with joy.
โI really thought that could be the last thing to change your mind and make you fall in love with coffee anyway.โ, he says, a small pout adoring his lips.
You canโt help it but lean over and place a gentle peck on his lips. โWell, I didnโt fall in love with coffee, but I sure as hell fell for someone else.โ
You watch as his cheeks turn into a soft shade of red, adoring the way he looks when heโs shy.
โAnd I sure as hell fell for you too, Y/N. More than you can imagine.โ
Bonus
โ4 years later
โIโm sorry, weโre closed.โ, you say as you hear the door of the cafรฉ open. Busy washing the dishes, you didnโt even look over your shoulder.
โYou canโt even make an exception for me?โ, you hear a familiar voice say. Turning around you are met with the face of your boyfriend, flowers in his hands. This scene seeming way too familiar to you.
โJungwon!โ, you exclaim, drying your hands and walking over to him. โWhat are you doing here? You are supposed to be resting. I thought you were sick.โ
Jungwon shows you a sheepish grin. One of hands reaching up to rub his neck nervously. โWell, about that. I may or may not have lied to you about being sick.โ
โWhat?โ, you say, a frown forming on your face. โWhy would you lie to me about that?โ
Jungwon lays the flowers down on the counter before reaching one of his hands into his pocket. โI had to get something.โ
Looking down at his hands, you see him pull out a small velvet box. And before you know, Jungwon is already kneeling down on one knee.
โY/n, weโve known each other for the past 4 years and those have been the best years of my life. Before I met you, I felt alone, completely distant from the world. But when you came into my life, suddenly everything made sense. You accepted my love for coffee and even tried to love it as well, which we know didnโt quite work out as planned. You gave me the life I always wanted and now itโs my turn to give you something in return. So, will you make me the happiest man alive and marry me?โ
Tears stream down your face as you look at the man before you. The man that has done nothing but give you all his love for the past four years. The man you would do anything for. And the man you want to the spend the rest of your life with.
So, there is really no other answer to his question, butโฆ
โYes. Yes, of course I will marry you.โ

"Wonnie , wait for me!!", you shouted with a small whine as you tried to run after the little boy โ said boy was laughing as he continued to run , his dimples showing as he smiled brightly. "Catch me if you can (Y/n)!", he laughed loudly but stopped in his tracks when he heard a loud sound behind him. He turned around and saw you on the ground , holding your knee that was bleeding and your teary eyes met his. Jungwon immediately ran towards you , dropping down to his knees to cradle you in his arms as you started to cry.
"Shh , it's okay (Y/n)", he cooed before he crouched down in front of you , turning his head to look at you with his dimpled smile. "Get on my back , I'll carry you home so we can put a bandaid on your knee", with that, you wiped your tears away before you got in his back โ his hands under your knees to keep you steady as he stood up and walked to your house. "Thank you Wonnie, you're always so nice..", You mumbled into his shoulder as you rested your head against it. "You're welcome (Y/n) but say , if I'm so nice then why did you spread those shit storm of rumors about me?", Suddenly Jungwon wasn't a little boy anymore , his tone was cold and harsh and his fingers pressed into your skin.
"What?", you asked and lifted your head , you as well weren't a little girl anymore and he turned his face to the side to glance at you, a scowl on his face. "You heard me , dumb fuck".
"Jungwon no.. i- (Y/n) wake up!"
You woke up with a jump , your skin sweaty and chest heaving as you tried to calm yourself down. A hand suddenly touched your shoulder making you jump โ Your mother looked at you with worried eyes as she moved her hand away. "Are you okay (Y/n)?", your mother asked as she took your appearance in. "Yeah I'm okay.. just a bad dream , that's all ",You smiled at her and got up from your bed. Today was your first day as a University Student , you were excited but also nervous , maybe even anxious.
The air was cold , so cold it felt like as if little needles were piercing your face when the cold wind blew into your direction โ the snow underneath your shoes crunched with each step you took , each step closer to the campus of your University. Your Suitcase rolled behind you , getting stuck occasionally due to the snow which earned a click of your tongue out of annoyance. Suddenly someone bumped into you from behind , making you stumble and fall face first into the snow, "Oh my god , I'm so sorry!", the person apologized and you propped yourself up , shaking your head to get rid of the snow in your hair and face โ some snow still stuck in your scarf. "It's okay , don't worry", you replied and looked up to see who it was , your eyes widened and the Person's smile faded. "Oh", he said in a blunt tone , retreating his hand that he was about to offer to help you up.
Your heart almost stopped beating , your blood ran cold and a uncomfortable feeling swirled in your belly. He looked so different in comparison to last year , his jawline more defined , his cheeks weren't chubby anymore , his hair grew out into a mullet and his once sparkling eyes looked down at you in pure disgust โ Yang Jungwon , the boy from your childhood and the boy you dreamed of, maybe it was fate or just a coincidence. He gave you one last glance before he shook his head , kissing his teeth before he left you on the snowy ground as he walked off. Your mind still processed what had happened , not noticing that someone was waving his gloved hand in front of your eyes. "Did you hit your head too hard?", you looked up and saw a male standing in front of you , his hand held out to you which you grabbed so he could pull you up. "Thank you..", you thanked the stranger as you patted the snow off of your clothes , his hands put back into his coat pockets.
"It's no problem , you must be new here since I've never seen you before. My name is Kim Sunoo , it was kind of cruel from that dude to not help you up", he introduced himself with a small smile which you returned. "Well, nice to meet you Sunoo. My name is (Y/n) and I'm new here", he mumbled your name under his breath so he would remember it before nodding with a grin. "I could show you were the dormitory's are and show you around?", Sunoo offered and you immediately accepted his offer โ the campus was really big so help was definitely needed. "So this will be your first year here yeah? How about we'll be friends , you can always come to me so you won't be lonely", Sunoo smiled at you as he showed you around the campus , you've never met someone so nice before , he was so kind. "I would love that , you're so nice..", you replied with a smile , his eyes squinting as he giggled a little. "Treat others how you want to be treated , that's my motto. I remember when I first came here , I couldn't befriend People because they were all too focused on studying and was always alone until I had the courage to approach some of the older students. They're in their last year now sadly so this will be the last year of them being in this University before they will move away", Sunoo explained but he didn't seem sad about it , he was rather enthusiastic for his friends.
"Hey , let's exchange numbers in case you'll get lost in the building and need help. Trust me when i say that you will get lost the first couple weeks before you'll get used to the Building. You can also text me when you don't wanna spend break time alone , my friends will welcome you with open arms", he took his phone out and unlocked it before he handed it to you , letting you type your number in and saving it. He send you a random emoji as a message so you also had his number on your Phone before he bid you goodbye. With a deep breathe , you fished the dormitory key โthat was send to you per mail a week before you came here โ out of your pocket and unlocked the door to your dorm. Seemed like as if your Roommate wasn't here yet so you exhaled the breath that you had held in without noticing before walking to your designated room. Luckily this wasn't like the dorms you would see in videos , your dorm had separate bedrooms for privacy.
After you got settled in and unpacked your stuff , you heard the keys jingling and the dorm door opened โ your head peeled up at the sound and you peaked your head out of the door frame. โYou must be kidding me right now..โ, the person groaned before carrying some bags into the door way. It was Jungwon โ no Jungwon wasnโt going to be your roommate since males and females were kept separated โ it was a girl that came up from behind him , carrying some more bags. There stood a beautiful girl , tall, fit figure and black straight hair , you could vividly remember her from somewhere . โThank you Wonnie ! Woah those bags were soo heavyโ, she said in an exaggerated tone before hugging his arm , his eyebrows twitched a little when she did so. โYouโre Welcome , i will go nowโ, Jungwon said but before he could go , the girl grabbed his wrist and begged for him to stay a little to which he just sighed in slight annoyance.
โYou must be my roommate! My name is Hyejinโ, she introduced herself when she saw you , eagerly shaking your hand and for a second you thought that your hand would rip off any moment. โCome on Wonnie, help me unpack!โ, before you could introduce yourself to her , she turned her attention back to Jungwon and grabbed his arm as she dragged him to her bedroom โ the male being a bit displeased as he got dragged , you knew that expression he wore on his face , he was beyond annoyed especially because he hated being dragged. Guess he got himself a girlfriend, but why did he look so unhappy?
Your heart felt heavy knowing that Jungwon was in your dorm right now , you never understood what you did wrong. It was like a switch got switched up in Jungwon , he went from being nice and loving with you to being cold and heartless. You still remembered that day , that day on your graduation. You never understood what he was talking about.
Your eyes roamed around as you looked for your best friend and date for Prom night , you were getting nervous with all the people with their dates around you โ you who stood there alone in your prom dress. With a sigh , you went out of the hall to look for Jungwon, he would never abandon you like that , right? You walked and walked until you saw Jungwon by his locker , clearing out his things โ he wore the suit that matched with your dress. โJungwon! There you are , Iโve been waiting for you the whole time!โ, you were relieved to see him , immediately walking over to him but he didnโt respond. He was quiet and ignored you as he shoved his things into a bag.
โJungwon?โ, you asked and put a hand on his arm but he immediately pulled his arm away. โDo not fucking touch me (Y/n)โ,his tone was cold , almost piercing yet he didnโt spare you a glance. You felt confused , confused and hurt because he had never talked to you like that. โJungwon , I donโt understand. Whatโs going on?โ, you were worried , so worried that your voice was shaking a little and you jumped as he slammed his locked shut. โYou dare to ask me that? Are you fucking kidding me? (Y/n) , I thought I could trust you but instead you run around spreading everything about me with your big ass mouth. You fucking betrayed me , never and I repeated , never fucking talk to me again . I want nothing to do with you anymore , traitorโ, Jungwon spat out , his voice laced with anger and venom as he looked down at you with a burning gaze. Your eyes immediately started to well up with tears , you couldnโt believe what was happening nor didnโt you know what he was talking about. Traitor? Betrayal? Rumors?
โJungwon โฆ w-what are you talking about?โ, your voice was shaking as you were close to crying but tried to hold it in , he just clicked his tongue and furrowed his eyebrows. โYou should know what I am talking about , after all you were the one who did it. Donโt play the fucking Victim nowโ, with that he left you in the hallways standing in front of his locker as he walked away โ leaving you standing there alone in your prom dress , tears running down your face as you stared at his back as he walked away and disappeared out of your sight. You were hurt , hurt so badly that you just froze on the spot , a million thoughts running through your mind. What was he talking about?
You snapped out of your thoughts as your phone rang , the caller ID of your younger brother popping up on your screen and you accepted the call. โ(Y/n)! Did you arrive safely?โ, your brother asked enthusiastically as his face popped up on the screen , a huge grin on his face. โI-Yeah , I arrived safely and already got settled inโ, your reply was a bit dry but you really didnโt know if you could be enthusiastic knowing that Jungwon was still in your dorm , Jungwon who once was your best friend but now hated you and your guts. โThatโs great! Itโs already sooo boring without you , I miss you (n/n)โ, your brother whined which made you chuckle under your breath . โRelax , Iโm coming over on a couple weekend. Youโre acting like as if Iโm going to be gone foreverโ.
The call went on for another 10 minutes until you said that you had to hang up , starting to feel a little hungry. You threw on a hoodie and some sweatpants before putting on your winter jacket and shoes. "Where are you heading to?", your new Roommate asked as she looked up from the TV as you walked past the living room , Jungwon sitting a bit further away from her as he had his attention on his phone. "Convenience Store", you replied , getting a bit uncomfortable as Jungwon was still in the dorm โ Hyejin's lips quirked up when she heard what you said and nudged Jungwon. "That's great! Jungwon was about to also go to the convenience store since I asked him to get me something , go together. He can help you carry the groceries , I'll give you the money for my stuff", before either you or Jungwon could say anything , she had already jumped up from the couch and skipped over to her Jacket to grab her wallet , handing you the money along with a little list that had her stuff written on it.
It was uncomfortable , so uncomfortable your blood ran cold through your veins , the silence and tension almost suffocating you. Jungwon walked a couple steps ahead of you , not even sparing you one glance as he looked straight ahead of him. You knew that he told you to never talk to him again , but you were curious and also had to ask the next question so you could prepare himself. "So uhm , is Hyejin your Girlfriend? I'm just asking so I'll know beforehand that you might show up often in our Dorm..", you awkwardly broke the silence ,clearing your throat a little โ this would be the first conversation you would have with Jungwon after he ended the Friendship. There was a couple seconds of silence again , the sound of Jungwon kicking some stones that were in his way was so loud due to the silence followed by the sound of either of you stepping on snow. "No, she's not my Girlfriend. Hyejin is my cousin , you had just never met her personally before because she lived in a different part of South Korea", Jungwon replied , his voice blunt and dull. "Right ... you had mentioned her once or twice..", you trailed off as you thought back to when you and Jungwon constantly hung out.
There was ,yet again ,another suffocating silence before Jungwon stopped in his tracks , making you almost bump into his back since you weren't looking ahead of yourself. "Why did you spread those Rumors?", there it was , the Question he had asked you on Prom night last year. "Jungwon , I still don't know what you're talking about..", you replied with a sigh and he turned around to look down at you , his eyes sharp as he bored into you. "Are you really that dense? (Y/n) , you fucking told everyone a false information. Remember when we celebrated Niki's 16th Birthday and when we played spin the bottle? Apparently you spread the rumor that I fucking slept with the girl the bottle landed on just because we disappeared for 10 minutes", Jungwon's tone was sharp , almost biting as you might say , your eyes widened at the accusation and you shook your head. "Jungwon what the fuck? I thought you knew me better! You know damn well i would never spread rumors especially about you , you who was once my best fucking friend and other half. Are you insane?! I would never ever spread such nasty Rumors", at this point you were almost yelling at him but held yourself back , so this was it? This was what it was all about and instead of just asking you , he believed some person who gave the Information that you had spread it around which you didn't.
"Yeah , I thought I knew you better as well but I guess I was wrong. Don't fucking lie , i have proof", Jungwon snarled , shoving his hands into his pockets as he glared down at you. "Oh yeah , you have proof? Show me the fucking proof", you replied as you crossed your arms over your chest and he took his phone out , scrolling through his gallery before almost shoving his phone into your face. There were screenshots of a chat you supposedly had with someone . telling that person that Jungwon was a bad person and thirsted over underaged girls. You scanned the Screenshot before you noticed a lot of things that didn't add up. "Are you being for real now..? This is fucking fake , have you ever heard of Apps where you can fake chats? Also that isn't even my Instagram account , you know damn well that I only use Twitter and never touched Instagram before", you exclaimed in a angry tone as you shoved his phone back into his hand. He looked back down at the screenshots that got send to him a bit conflicted. "then what about this?", Jungwon turned his phone back to you and there was another screenshot that got send to him , this time it was a chat on messengers and you looked at the number โ apparently this was a Screenshot one of his Friends had send him , the person who claimed to be you had even texted his friends.
"Who is that?", you asked as you took your phone out , opening the messengers app to type in his friends number and proof to him that you didn't even had his number nor had ever chatted with that friend. As soon as Jungwon told you the number , you typed it in just to see no chats with that person nor that you never had their number. Jungwon was now feeling very conflicted , what was going on? Sure he could've just thought that you deleted his Friends number , but even if you deleted their number or contact , the chat would still show up. "Is that enough fucking proof that it wasn't me?", Jungwon glanced at you as you asked him the question , guilt swirling in his eyes. He couldn't believe what he had done to you , accusing you like that without even knowing if it was true or not and leaving you on that night last year โ the night were he was supposed to be your Prom date and confess his feelings for you. He had hurt you so much just because he felt hurt. He still remembered it , a painful memory if you asked him , a part of him broke apart on that day and could never get fixed or replaced.
Prom Night , the Night he was supposed to be your Date and confess to you but instead , he was fuming and hurt. He felt betrayed , he thought he could trust you , he would've never thought that you would do that to him. He never would've thought that you were the one spreading rumors about him, rumors about him liking and sleeping around with underaged girls just because of Niki's 16th birthday party. No , he didn't sleep with that girl, he would never nor did he kissed her. What actually happened was that as soon as the bottle landed on the girl , she pulled him in a spare room to talk with him. She just wanted advice on how to confess to Niki or if she had any chance with him at all โ which she honestly didn't because Niki was kind of anti romantic and wanted to focus on his Career as a Dancer , so Jungwon consoled her when she got sad. He never told you what actually happened , so of course he believed that it was you who spread the rumors since you suddenly disappeared.
Did he feel bad for leaving you in the Ball room standing alone in your Prom dress surrounded by Students with their Dates? Yes , he absolutely did , it even hurt him knowing that you must've been anxious with the way you blew up his Phone with questions when he would be there โ but he didn't care in that moment, the guilt only ate him up when he yelled at you and turned his back to you , your sobs echoing in the hallways and getting quieter the further he walked away.
"I...don't know what to say right now because I know that apologizing won't fix this..", Jungwon mumbled in shame and guilt as he looked away , biting the inside of his cheek. You still felt hurt , yes , but you were willing to give him another Chance knowing now what was going on. "Look , Jungwon. I'm willing to forgive you , I now know why you had been acting like that and ended our Friendship. It's never too late to fix something , you know?", you sighed as you looked down to the snowy ground , feeling a bit nervous as you waited for his response โ yes he may have hurt you and Humiliated you on Prom night by leaving you in the dust , but you missed him. It didn't matter how much it hurt you in the past , the past is past and you can't change it except fix things in the present. He was your other half , your soulmate , your best friend โ everyone makes mistakes and they can always be fixed , no matter how big or small...unless it's a murder case or something but that wasn't the case.
His head perked up at what you said , he couldn't believe what you had said now โ You were willing to forgive him? Even after he had hurt you so much? Jungwon wasn't a very emotional Person but he felt like crying, he missed you so much that he thought he would die , well a part of him did die. After he had ended your Friendship , he wasn't like his usual self โ he was constantly annoyed and on edge , kept studying to distract himself until he would simply pass out with his head on his study books from overworking himself, he had grown cold. "(Y/n).. do you really want that?", Jungwon asked a bit hesitant , he couldn't forgive himself for accusing you like that for a whole year , but the way you smiled at him made his eyes widen a little โ fuck , he really missed you and your gorgeous smile. "Yes Jungwon, I've missed you so much..", with that , the corner of his lips lifted up and he took a step closer , hesitantly opening his arms a little โ he stumbled back as you suddenly threw yourself into his arms, hugging him tightly which he returned. His eyes were closed in a blissful way, his head buried into your shoulder and the scent of the perfume you used filled his nostrils. He hated perfume , he didn't like the strong smell of it , but yours he loved โ he would drown himself in it if he could.
Even if you guys used to be just friends, best friends, the two of you hugged like long lost Lovers , your head resting against his chest. You missed him , so unbelievably much. The two of you stood there for a couple minutes , hugging each other and it started to snow โ snowflakes dancing around the two of you as if this was some kind of movie scene. "Alright.. we should really get the groceries now ", Jungwon mumbled into your shoulder but made no effort to move until he squeezed you one more time and let go of you.
-
"Wasn't that the guy who left you to eat snow yesterday?", Sunoo asked with a raised brow when he saw you waving at Jungwon, the two of you walking over to his friends table ,there sat 3 People โJake , Sunghoon and Jay. "Uhm yeah ,it's a Long story. We used to be best friends but then something happened , he ended our friendship last year and had been my enemy since then. Turns out my Roommate is his Cousin and we kind of talked it out yesterday. Someone pretended to be me and spread rumors about Jungwon and there was apparently 'Proof' that it was me but I proofed Jungwon yesterday that it wasn't me . Now it's just the question , who actually did it?", You explained and Sunoo made a sound . nodding as he understood what your relation with Jungwon was. "That's fucked up , maybe someone was jealous? Like in some kind of Drama or those reddit stories , maybe that person purposely pretended to be you to break the two of you apart?", Sunoo concluded but you just laughed slightly, those things only happened in drama's and not in real life...right?
What you haven't told Sunoo was that there was more than just that โ apparently that Person also knew Jungwon's secrets and also spread them which was another Reason why Jungwon believed that it was you since those were only secrets you knew , but it clearly wasn't you after you showed more proof that it wasn't you. This was complicated and Twisted. Who did it?
-
"Oh my god , no way. Shut up, you didn't had to!", your eyes were wide in shock as Jungwon held out a bouquet of flowers , his cheeks tinted in a soft pink hue. It was Valentines Day , a couple months had passed since you and Jungwon reunited again. During the time the two of you started hanging out again , you realized that your feelings for Jungwon never went away, they were still there โthey were just hidden deep inside your heart. "Well.. I thought that today would've been the best day to you know.. make up for Prom Night", Jungwon rubbed the back of his head in a sheepish way before pressing the bouquet into your hands. (F/F), your favorites , it was crazy that Jungwon still remembered everything you liked while you couldn't even remember what you had for lunch yesterday. "Jungwon.. you don't have to make up for that...", you mumbled with a small pout but the male shook his head , putting a finger under your chin to make you look up to him when he noticed that you looked down to the flowers. "But I want to , Prom night would've been our special night . Prom night only happens once in your life and I ruined it by accusing you without asking for an explanation from you", He gave you a reassuring dimpled smile โoh those dimples that you adored so much even as a child.
"Woah , you have holes in your cheeks when you smile!!", you squealed in surprise , your hands moving faster than you could react. His eyes widened a little when he felt your fingers poking into the dents in his cheeks which made him giggle. The two of you were 5 years old at the time , so naรฏve and curious about everything. "Silly, mama said that they are called dimples and that not everyone has them!", Jungwon responded with a beaming smile, lifting his hand up to gently flick your forehead and laughing when you whined. "I think they're pretty ... I wish I also had dimples , maybe I would be prettier with them?", you pouted and poked your fingers into your cheeks , trying to mimic dimples by making dents into your cheeks. "None sense , I think you're pretty already"
You thought a little about it but knowing how stubborn he can be sometimes , you let him "make it up" to you. "Well , what were you planning to do?", You asked but Jungwon shook his head gently, taking his hand off of your shoulder before putting a finger up to his lips. "It's a surprise", he laughed when he saw you huffing at his response. "(N/n)!!!", your head jerked into the direction the voice came from and your eyes widened a little. "(B/n)? What are you doing here?", you asked in confusion and raised a brow , your younger brother looked at you with a smile, his smile faltering a little when he saw Jungwon before he picked his smile back up โ it almost looked forced. "Oh Jungwon , since when are you guys friends again?", your brother asked but his tone was off , something was off about your brother but you couldn't put your finger on it. "We made up, we talked about it and found out that someone was pretending to be your Sister", Jungwon replied and smiled back at your brother , you could've sworn you saw your brothers jaw clench a little.
"Now Answer, why are you here?", You asked once again , pressing for an answer and your Brother looked back at you. "It's Valentines Day, I wanted to spend time with my lovely Sister", he replied with a grin , running a hand through his hair and you looked a bit conflicted. Jungwon already asked you and planned something so you couldn't and wouldn't say no to the dimpled male, but your younger Brother made the effort to come to your University just to spend some time with you. "Oh.... couldn't you have asked me in advance..? Jungwon already planned something for us", your response most definitely didn't make your Brother happy based on how his eyebrows furrowed. "oh Come on , won't you have some time for your Brother?", he grumbled a little and Jungwon looked between the two of you before sighing. "How about that (Y/n), you'll spend some time with your brother now and meet me later? The surprise is better during the Night anyway", Jungwon suggested and you pondered a little about it โ that way you you could spend the day with the two of them , it's a win win Situation.
-
"Your Dorm is so cool!", your brother said as he looked around before going into your room where you were , you could only sigh in response. Something felt wrong and it was bothering you that didn't know what it was. "I'll cook us something", You said once he sat down on your bed ,looking at you with a grin. "I missed your cooking, I'll just wait here", with that you exited your bedroom and left the door slightly ajar , walking over to the kitchen. There stood a vase on the Kitchen counter โ specifically a vase with the bouquet Jungwon got you , the flowers looked so pretty and smelled nice. While you were cooking , you realized that you forgot something in your room.
"Dude , my plan backfired so bad. (Y/n) is friends with that Jackass again , wasn't the fake messages and everything convincing enough?? Oh my god , this is pissing me off so much", your heart stopped beating as you stared at your brother back in disbelief, he was the one who did it? But why.. why did he do this? Your Brother didn't realize that you stood by the door and watched him , listening to him complaining to his friend about how his plan backfired and that he needed to change this โ he couldn't let anyone take his sister away from him. Now you realized what was going on and you felt disgusted. What the fuck was wrong with your Brother?
"You're literally so Disgusting , I can't believe that you would do this", he froze when you spoke up , quickly hanging up before turning around to look at you. His eyes were blown wide open , his mouth slightly agape as he stared at you frozen in shook, like a deer caught in a headlight. "Why? Why did you to this to me? How did you even know all of Jungwon's secrets?! Fucking Explain yourself! ", your voice started to get a little louder , you were beyond angry , your brother flinched a little before mumbling something. "Speak the fuck up, what did you say", your reply made him speak louder , his voice trembling a little, this was the first time he ever saw you this angry. "Vents ..the vents.."
You could've face palmed yourself if you weren't angry โ of course he heard everything you and Jungwon talked about through the vents that connect some of the rooms in your house. He heard every single fucking thing and used everything he heard to spread rumors by pretending to be you. "You disgust me , get the fuck out now. I don't want to hear another fucking thing from you", you said in a angry voice and your brother jumped up from your bed , shaking his head rapidly as he walked towards you. "You don't understand! You're my sister and only mine , I only want you taking care of me and not anyone else. Jungwon was taking you away from me! Please , (Y/n)!", your brother begged and each word that came out of his mouth only made you more disgusted. "You're a sick fuck. You're 17 for fucks sake , act like your age and not some fucking toddler. Get some fucking help and get the fuck out!", you yelled and he stared at you with teary eyes before grabbing his stuff and rushing past you.
Good thing that you audio recorded everything before you spoke to your brother , having started recording while he was on the phone , otherwise no one would believe you what just happened without thinking that you're insane. "That's fucked up...", Jungwon mumbled as he listened to the recording , looking at you in disbelief but everything made sense now. Jungwon always had that feeling that your brother had something against him , he still remembers how your brother would switch up even as a child whenever you went to the toilet whilst Jungwon was at your house. "It's fucking sick...", you sighed and put your phone away , leaning your head against his shoulder. Jungwon thought for a second before he grabbed your hand and made you stand up with him. He didn't say anything as he dragged you outside.
It was raining a little , the night wasn't cold but rather a little warm once the two of you stepped outside of the dormitory building. "Jungwon what..?", he just shushed you and took his airpods out , putting one into your ear before putting the other in his and playing some slow music. "Forget about what your brother did for now, focus on us...", he said in a soft tone as his hand went to your waist , your hand on his shoulder while the other held his. Your heart was beating fast as he slow danced with you in the rain , the moonlight shining down on the two of you โ you didn't mind nor care that the rain was making your hair and clothes wet , only focused on Jungwon's face as he fondly smiled down at you and once the song came to an end , he pulled you closer to him. He leaned a little down , his face inching closer to yours while he kept eye contact with you. "Can i..?", his eyes darted down to your slightly wet lips before they gazed back up to your eyes and you nodded , whispering a soft "yes".
Your lips touched , electricity running through your body , this was what you had been longing for for a long time and it was finally happening . Jungwon's heart felt like as if it was going to explode , his first soft kiss turning into a desperate one. Lips desperately moving against each other , teeth occasionally clashing but neither of you cared, your lips fit perfectly together. Your hand moving from his shoulder up to his hair , fingers tangled into the wet hair strands as you pulled his face closer to yours , his hands holding your waist tightly. He broke the kiss for a couple seconds to catch a quick breather before crashing his lips against yours again , he waited way too long for this to be just one kiss.
"I've always liked you and those feelings never changed even after we went separate ways , i've been waiting for so long for this moment", Jungwon mumbled against your lips , giving you another kiss before he leaned his forehead against yours and you smiled up to him. "You don't know how long I've been waiting for this as well..", your response made him smile , his hand moving from your waist to your free hand to gently hold it. "I Love you , (Y/n). It would make me the happiest men on earth if you'd want to be my girlfriend"
"I love you too , I always had. It would be a pleasure to be your girlfriend , Wonnie"

โ so do you โ โ y.jw
๐ โฆ !? pairing. idol!jungwon x staff member!fem!reader | wc. 0.7k | genre. slight angst, fluff | requested? yes | warnings. mentions of overworking, fainting, i have no clue how medical stuff works lol | note. this was very tough to write, but i hope i did anon's request justice !
he was gorgeous. even sweating, out of breath, and completely engrossed in his performance, jungwon never failed to leave you mesmerized by his mere existence.ย
blinking back the tired burning that stung your eyes, you leaned against one of the cushioned chairs as you watched his group on the screen, a proud smile pulling at your cheeks. both you and he had prepared heavily for the new comeback, and now that it was finally being brought to fruition, it meant promotions were at an all-time high. and that everyone was working overtime. everyone.
someone called your name, their tone clipped, and compelled your gaze away from the monitor. โyes?โ
โplease make yourself useful and go find more waters and towelsโtheyโre in the dressing room. the members will be done with their performances shortly,โ your boss said, running a hand through her hair as she addressed you.
nodding quickly, you turned, headache beginning to bloom in the center of your forehead. you rubbed the spot soothingly as you willed yourself to focus on the task at hand. find water and towels, then i can sit down for a quick second.
you hastily searched for what you were looking for, finding the cooler that had been pushed to the back of one of the rooms. sighing heavily, you reached down to grab it, relieved that it was no larger than a medium-sized box. however, as you lifted the blue-lined tub, black sparked the edge of your vision, head spirling with dizziness. you had no choice but to drop the cooler and hunch over it, palms braced on the white lid.
blinking rapidly, you gulped down heavy breaths of air, easing yourself up. one more time. you licked your lips as you bent your knees and picked up the cooler again. but as you attempted to lock your knees, they buckled instead, and you felt the foreign feeling of lightheadedness followed by spiking black.
โwhat happened?โ
jungwonโs voice was the first thing to slice through the silence. he and his members huddled in the doorway of the small infirmary room, a nurse and other staff trying to usher them away (with little success).
eyes fluttering at the bright white ceiling lights, you raised a shaky hand, rubbing your right eye as you tried to sit up. your movement alerted the woman fiddling with a monitor on your left.
โwoah, sweetie, take it slow. lay back down,โ she said gently, pressing her hand on your shoulder. โyou hit your head pretty hard and youโre very dehydrated.โ
you groaned, trying to push her arm away. โi donโtโฆwhere am i? what happened?โ looking toward the door, you locked eyes with jungwon, whose face instantly flushed with more worry. the questions just continued to pile, your face scrunching with confusion. what happened?
the nurse next to you soothed your arm, shushing you and guiding you to her front. her touch was comforting as she said, โyou fainted; your blood sugar was incredibly low. we gave you some-โ
โwhy canโt they come in?โ you interrupted, still staring blankly at jungwon, who now had jay clinging to his arm and telling him we have to go, they wonโt let you in.
the woman sighed, stepping away from you and leaning to the side. she said the other nurseโs name. โlet him in.โ
jungwon visibly sagged at her words, and he shoved jay away as he made his way into the room, eyes set solely on you. he put on a reassuring smile and reached for your hand as the other people in the room turned to find something to do. โhi.โ
โhi,โ you breathed, weakly patting the empty space next to yourself, noting the way sweat still clung to his forehead. โyou look tired.โ
โme?!โ his brows furrowed as he took a seat. โyou passed out in one of the dressing rooms, baby. had me and the others worried when you didnโt greet us after our stage.โ
you squeezed his fingers with your own. โiโm sorry. i donโt knowโฆi donโt know what happened. one second i was fine and now iโm here.โ
jungwon looked at you skeptically, sighing as he pulled you forward. he rested his chin on your shoulder as he said, โyouโre overworking yourself. every time i try and comment on it, you brush me off. you go hours, almost days, without eating or sleeping.โ
thumbing his shirt, you whispered, โso do you.โ โnot as bad as you, though,โ he said, palms brushing up and down your back gently. there was a beat of silence before he continued. โjust promise me youโll work on taking care of yourself from now on, yeah?โ he pulled back, pressing his pink lips to your hairline and chuckling. โi already have six other kids to worry about, my love.โ

To yang jungwon, you were nothing but his most beautiful dream. The finest embodiment of his fairytale, the girl who swept him off his feet despite him not being a huge fan of romance, and the girl who made him feel magic and love both at once at an incredible and irresistible rate. Yes, you, his lovely noona who heโs been head over heels in love with since the past 7 months without a single soul knowing.
He first met you at the subway station, a pretty passer-by who caught his attention, but the second time he met you at the dog park while he was walking maeumi and you approached him and said hi, things have been quite stormy inside his heart. From a single hello, conversations struck and giggles emerged, and there you go, being such close friends and crashing at their dorm daily quickly became your weekly routine.
the thing about you that struck jungwon the most first, was your sweet angelic smile. The way the corners of your mouth crinkled and your eyes creased at the ends like crescent moons, the way your squeaky laughters penetrated his ears and heart and the way the beautiful sight of your happiness touched his soul raw. Bit by bit, everything about your kind personality became his favourite, bit by bit everything from your loose brown curls to your beautiful starry eyes and your honey dripping voice, became his one and only source of weakness.
Jungwon began longing for you, a foreign desire to have you close to him, to see you daily, to touch you and hold you in his embrace, all these cravings that he never felt before began to emerge him inside a cloud of yearning and love. He began wanting you a little more everyday, and the need to hear your laughs became as important to him as a sick person requiring his only medicine.
However, there was one problem. Jungwon knew you didnโt believe in love. And that is exactly why, you werenโt dating anyone or were even interested to, and cut off every conversation that anyone ever raised about love. You were closed off when it came to relationships, and that is what frightened jungwon and backed him away from ever confessing to you. You were too precious to lose for him by a careless action, and due to your sad reluctance and rejection to love overall, jungwonโs beautiful dream, of having you in his life forever by his side as someone special, became nothing but a distant bitter memory.
But he could swear there were times when he felt a spark between you two. A spark that maybe both of you felt the same level of affection and attraction for eachother. The way you held his gaze in somewhat awe sometimes when your eyes locked, the way your fingers grazed against his expectantly when your hands touched and the way your cheeks would go rosy everytime he came closer to you than needed. And ofcourse, how could he forget how he felt the drumming of your heart beat against his chest when riki โaccidentallyโtripped you both and jungwon fell on top of you, with your lips almost touching. He could swear, he felt the softness and warmth of your lips tingle on his for a brief moment, and he already knew he had never tasted or felt anything sweeter than them before.
And that is exactly what was happening now. His gaze lingered on your mouth as you sipped your drink, with your eyes fixated on jay and laughing at something he said, while jungwonโs hovered on you. You looked extra gorgeous tonight, with your curves draped in the shiny silk material of your dress and your curls dangling upto your waist like ocean waves. Tonight, jungwon felt love for you far more intensely than any other, and dizzy from the effect of the alcohol, he had little restraint over his actions or thoughts that were full of longing and affection for you. And only you.
You came over at the Enha dorm tonight for their celebration dinner party after their long tour. You were ofcourse invited by the boys, especially their leader, who loved having you over the most, the fact that you and everyone else knew pretty well.
โNoona!! Aah moveโ a sudden voice breaks your concentration away from jay, as the pouty maknae ni ki appears into the scene and shoves you away in jungwonโs direction with a mischievous smile, while positioning himself between you and jay. He was shoving you almost into jungwonโs lap and you almost tripped, but luckily you grabbed the end of the table and restored your balance.
โAy niki! What are you even doing?โ You pretend to scold him, but instantly burst into laughter seeing his hilarious expression, and move further away to give him space because after all, he was all your precious baby brother. But what changed the mood of the atmosphere was the way you felt a sharp spark of electricity run down your body the moment you turned your face and found heavy dark brown eyes looking intensely into yours. Two hazy pair of eyes reflecting a feeling inside them you couldnโt identify, you saw jungwon, and the moment you felt his gaze and his fingers brush past your waist, you could swear you felt heat radiate in every part of your body and shivers run down your spine. You felt a spark of intimacy the moment his breaths fanned your cheek and immediately turned your face away to prevent it from burning away from the sudden shyness you were overcome with.
Tonight, for some reason, jungwon felt so different and he made you blush so much. He felt mature, and you couldnโt take your eyes off him neither could you deny or ignore the loud drumming of your heart every time your eyes crossed him. The attractive way the shirt he wore settled into his broad shoulders, the way his dimples poked everytime he smiled and the way his voice reverberated inside your spine and gave you goosebumps everytime he so much spoke. It was crazy, the things you were feeling today for him, the way you were so overpowered by temptation and a feeling you couldnโt understand. But now, you shake your head to discard these thoughts and concentrate on the dinner laid before you, scolding yourself for seeing your friend the way you were doing right now. You definitely werenโt falling in love with yang jungwon tonight.
Fifteen minutes had passed and in the blink of an eye, the party had been wrapped up and everyone was already headed into the kitchen with the dishes, while the rest crashed into the living room to play games. Leaving only you and the man who made your head dizzy tonight alone, and things were only about to take a historic turn in a few seconds. Only if you knew..
โNoona. Donโt go yet.โ Jungwon stops you as you were about to rise up, his hands clutching your wrists and politely gesturing you to sit down beside him. You do so almost immediately, like a reflex action, every cell of your body registering to his voice, despite the fact that every one of them was also warning you that you were gonna slip and fall six feet under if you do not walk out of the room right now. From the way he took two inches closer to you and brushed his hair back before locking eyes with you, your heart knew damn well there was no going back from what it realized just now.
โThere is something I want to talk to you about, noona.โ He says, his voice as gentle as it could be, as he tucks a stray strand of your hair behind your ear.
โYes?โ
Everything in him just wanted to confess to you right away. Everything in him just wanted to tell you how much he loved you all this while, how you were the most special person in his life and how he wanted you to be more than just friends. But, damn it, you looked so beautiful he couldnโt find the words to say it and the beer he drank earlier from the party made his head so dizzy that he couldnโt think straight at all. He could only listen to the one thing his heart wanted the most right now. The one thing his heart wanted, your lips on his. To kiss you deep and slow, with nothing but promise and love so every wrong fear inside you falters and you believe that love does exist, and love does exist infront of you in the shape of the person sitting infront of you right now.
โI need you to help me with something.โ He continued, as you nodded and listened.
โThereโs uh..someone I like. I like very much, to be honest. I love her. But I havenโt really told her yet. I want to kiss her, but I donโt have much experience in kissing. So I was wondering if you would..let me kiss you and try?โ
Oh my goodness. Did yang jungwon just propose to kiss you? You definitely heard wrong. Definitely the drumming of your heart inside your ears made you go deaf this time.
โHold on a second?! You..want to practice on me?โ You ask surprised, but little do you know youโd have no second to react further, cause the next thing you know is his mouth on yours, and his arms draped around your waist. His lips felt soft, the way they pressed against yours made you automatically part yours to let them in. He kissed you with his intoxicating taste, bringing one of his hands to cup your cheek and caress your skin with his thumb, while his mouth explored yours with a need and temptation as brilliant as a blazing thousand suns. He tasted so unbelievably sweet and his kiss felt so incredibly fierce yet gentle, you could swear you were seeing stars and everything infront of you was going dark. The only sensation was the colliding of your heart beats, the scent of him burning in your lungs, the warmth of his breaths heating up your skin and the feel of your tender lovemaking between both your lips.
None of you could withdraw your mouths from eachother other. It was as if he was a drowning man, and your kisses were his only source of oxygen. He kissed you with such raw passion and hunger as if he was someone whoโs been dying to kiss you for ages. Seconds turn to minutes, and you were there, your legs wrapped around his waist and you climbed into his lap, with your mouths still attached. You bury both of your hands on the back of his neck to pull him deeper into the kiss, while his fingers lace around your waist and moved up and around your curves to feel you in his grip like you belonged. You could feel him stop and smile in between the kisses, pressing your foreheads together and brushing your noses for a brief second innocently, as if that wasnโt the most adorable thing a man could do while kissing you so romantically yet desperately.
You detach your mouth from his after a brief moment, when a temporary sense knocks inside you and you stare at him while still positioned on his lap, both your hands still glued to your bodies, reluctant to let go. Right when your forced conscience asks you to stop, there comes another wave of tempting yet unknown proposal that sweeps you off your feet.
โJungwon I think we should sto-โ you begin to say when youโre cut off with his sentence. His voice sounded raspy, with his gaze stern as the next words rolled off his tongue so swiftly.
โOne more. Thereโs one more thing Iโd like to practice. I promise, it will be the last.โ He speaks convincingly, demandingly and strangely enough-dominantly. In a way, you know that even if you were born a million times, you wouldnโt be able to reject this tone.
โAnd what is it?โ
โCome on. Follow me.โ
Jungwon gets up from the sitting position and stands up, giving out his hand to you to take it, and when your fingers lock, he guides you past the space towards his room. You follow him quietly, staring at his figure from the back as you notice the way he feels and looks so much more like a man now than the cute boy you met 7 months ago. His back muscles flexed as he walked, and you were stormed by so many fantasies you miserably tried to suppress back.
He gestures you to walk in his dimly lit room after him and as soon as you do, you feel him press you with the doorframe while swiftly shutting the door behind him in one go. With the hand he was touching yours, he grips your wrists lightly with the wood and uses his finger to lift your chin up, making you look into his direction.
โThis.โ
That is all you hear, and before you can process a thing his mouth crashes with yours, and this time your whole body shudders as you feel his tongue slide inside your mouth, the intoxicating and addicting taste making you weak in the knees and unable to stand. You use your free hand to caress and fondle his sharp jaw, as you keep letting yourselves taste eachotherโs loving hives. He tasted sugary, his perfume plunging deep inside your lungs as usual and his hands resting on your hips with your bodies pressed tightly with one another. The feel of his soft lips against your own, and his tongue intertwined with yours, were enough to make you forget everything about the world except for yang jungwon himself.
Before you could know it, almost like the rhythm of your favourite song, you switch the places you were in, from making out against the door to now, him carrying you all princess style and softly positioning you on the bed before pressing gentle kisses on your entire face- your forehead, your eyelids, your nose, your cheeks, your chin, to your lips again. This time he intertwines both your hands with his and looks at you with a sheepish, loving smile. As if from the way, it was not clear enough. As if from the way he kissed you with devotion and yearning, it wasnโt clear enough. As if you needed him now to look at you with admiration for you to know the answer. Yes, indeed. Yang jungwon was in love with you. And you were stormed with this joyful reality only tonight.
Jungwon begins trailing tender kisses down your neck, pressing his lips down to your sensitive spots and letting them linger on your flesh more than needed to make you gasp feeling the firm wetness of his mouth on your skin. You join your lips again to kiss eachother again; this time more fiercely and passionately, this time using every way you both can to deliver what you feel for eachother. Unsaid love confessions, a million feelings with one brief touch. But, the moment is interrupted soon enough abruptly, as you hear banging on the door from sunoo and ni ki, them calling your name out as it was time for you to go and they were supposed to drop you off. The last thing you remember was a peck on your lips and a tight embrace from the boy who enchanted you tonight, and a sweet โgood night, noonaโ in a familiar, raspy and, sweet voice that you loved so much.
โโโโโโ-
The next morning comes by after what feels like an eternity. You were in the middle of a dream as you abruptly wake up, the same dream you have been dreaming all night. The dream of jungwon and you kissing longingly, the feel of soft pillow behind your head and his body on yours, the silky feel of his hair touching your face as you felt his mouth moving inside yours. The dream felt so realโฆthat you woke up with a buzz, both from the pounding way the steamy romantic dream made you feel and from the effect of drinking beer last night at dinner.
Hold on..did last night even happen or was it all in your head?
You ask yourself, suddenly wide awake with confusion as you get alarmed by the sound of your doorbell ringing. Who could possibly show up at your place so early at 8 am in the morning on a Sunday morning?
Unless it was who you were expecting.
You rub your eyes and push your hair down to make it presentable as you rush towards your front door and open it to see the familiar figure youโve been dreaming of all night long. There infront of you, was jungwon, in his oversized orange hoodie and messy hair, dangly earrings and a shy, overwhelmed smile.
โGood morning noona.โ He says in a tiny voice, scratching the back of his neck and obviously, blushing with his evident rosy cheeks.
โHmmh. Definitely a great opportunity to be greeted both good morning and good night from yang jungwon in one go.โ You tease, pulling him into your apartment and giggling, reminding him of all the memories from the night before.
His pupils immediately dilate and he freezes remembering the romantic way he wished you good night the night before and ofcourse the way you both kissed and made out not-so-innocently in his room.
โI erh..โ he stammers, being awkward and shy like a teenager in love for the first time before inhaling and regaining a serious composure.
โNoona. I came over this early because I wanted to talk to you about that actually.โ He utters nervously, while standing directly infront of you.
โGo on.โ
โThe thing is. Firstly,I donโt want you to think that everything that happened yesterday was because I was drunk on my part. Secondly, the girl I was talking about ..was uhmโฆyou.โ He blushes and sharply exhales before continuing with a firm determination in his eyes.
โTo be honest, I love YOU noona! I do now..I always did and I promise I always will. I just never found the courage to say it out loud bc I feared you would shut me out noona. I always wanted to tell you how badly I want to be with you for the rest of my life..as ofcourse your lover. *gulps* itโs just that the alcohol made me use actions instead of words to convey that. Iโm really sorry if I..I..I just really donโt know. Are you gonna reject me now?โ His expression saddens, his voice dropping and eyes pleading desperately for an answer.
โWell.โ
โFrom the way I kissed you back last night, do you really think I would?โ You raise your brow and chuckle, opening your arms for him for a loving hug.
โBut I thought you didnโt believe in love.โ Jungwon says skeptically in a joking manner, before taking steps towards you to obviously pull you into his embrace.
โRight. I didnโt. But now I do.โ
โSometimes, one kiss is all it takes to make you believe in everything. Including love, yang jungwonโ you laugh as you wrap your arms around his neck tighter, feeling your heart fill up with warmth as you feel the echoing of his joyful laughter seep inside you.
โThereโs something I got you noona. Wait.โ The catboy before you redraws for a few seconds, before pulling out something from his hoodie pocket with excited eyes. What you see before, is unfortunately just a hollow stem and nothing else.
โOH NO!! The flower fell off?! ..uhm noona Iโm SORRY! Maybe it fell of when I ran here a few minutes ago to come see you.โ He pouts apologetically as you laugh histerically at his adorable complain and apologies.
โWell well. Maybe Iโll forgive you if you finish what you started last night huh.โ You chuckle mischievously, and with that, your lover boy is back inside your arms, kissing you ever so affectionately and this time pressing a thousand I love yous and sweet confessions into your lips and skin as you guys continue kissing so tenderly.
Indeed, It was true from your part. Yang jungwon always felt like home but you were too silly to realize it. You were too silly to not realize the way your heart used to beat so loud everytime he was near you or smiled, and at the end of your everyday it was him you always wanted to run upto and hug. It was him you wanted to see and talk to all the time, it was him who made you feel loved and appreciated and so so beautiful. It was the warmth of his touches and his laughter that filled all the emptiness inside your soul and it was him you wanted to wake up to every morning and him you wanted a future with. Him you wanted to walk the rest of your lives holding hands with, him you wanted to ride the merry go round of life. He was your peace, he was your comfort, he was your only solace. And sure you realized it late, but now that you did, it was certain you were never letting him go.
And now as you watched him pick flowers for you at the floral shop, furrowing his frows so cutely trying to decide which one youโd like best, you couldnโt help but smile from a happiness that you knew only he and he alone could bring you for certain.
โJungwon?โ You called lovingly, your eyes bleary from the ride of emotions you were feeling right now. You had finally found the love you were searching for all your life.
โHmm noona?โ He smiles coming to you with a white rose bouquet, his dimples poking out, a heavenly sight you could never get tired of watching for the rest of your life.
โThereโs something I want to tell you.โ
"You filled a part of my soul I always thought would be empty, and you healed scars I never knew existed. And I realizedโฆ..it's not that I didn't believe in love before. It's that I was saving it all for you."
โI love you. Yang jungwon. Today, tomorrow and forevermore.โ
You confess before running back into the arms that felt like safety.
Arms that felt warm and secure, like finally returning home.
Home,
Sweet home.
