an:again! not a double post because i need to catch up with more chapter in my draft :)
an: not proofread ahhsdgshfb i also got carried away oops
written part below! (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧
Jungwon doesn’t hesitate walking into the familiar flower cafe shop this time with a skip in his step and a quiet melodic hum leaving his throat. He supposed he might as well visit your dad considering he was very biased last time and buy flowers for his aunt for helping him with his friendship with you. With a new start in his mind, he wanders further and finds your dad by the register arranging flower bouquets which Jungwon notes were wonderful.
“Good afternoon, Mr. Y/L/N” Jungwon greets as he approaches your dad closer. He notices your dad’s expression lighten from the tensed focused face earlier. Your dad looks up and notices Jungwon with a nod before quickly finishing tying the bouquet together neatly.
“Hey, Jungwon! How’s it been kid?” Your dad says, gently placing the flower next to the neat pile of other bouquets Jungwon presumed he had made before his arrival. He then comes round in front of the register and gives Jungwon a suffocating hug for a few seconds which Jungwon now find comfort in.
“I’m doing good thank you. I’m just passing by to buy a bouquet or something for my aunt before I go down to her apartment” Jungwon replies
“How about I make one for your aunt yeah?” Your dad suggests and Jungwon nods at the idea. “Oh, but I have to deliver these orders very quick first”
“Orders?” Jungwon unconsciously repeats
“Oh yeah, there are few old customers around here but they can’t travel all the time so I make deliver whenever I can” your dad replies, going back behind the register to pick up a list before what seemed like double-checking the name, address and orders.
“What if the shop gets busy? or what if you can’t?” Jungwon asks curiously
“The shop never gets busy” Your dad smiles and Jungwon can’t help but feel bad for asking knowing how people perceive your and your dad’s appearance before getting to know both of you. “If I get too busy here making orders and can’t deliver, I usually get Y/N to look after the shop or deliver. She makes a good assistant”
With that new information, (or maybe with the mention of your name) Jungwon’s ear perks up and his attention are now 101% on the conversation. “I don’t usually ask her to though, I know how busy you kids are with exams and studying.”
Jungwon finds the similarities between you and your dad endearing. Not only you two are quite intimidating with your fierce resting bitch face, you two were thoughtful of others around you. No wonder you grew up to be kind and considerate despite the rumours around you in Hybe U. “Speaking on Y/N! She called me a few minutes ago sayings she’s on her way-!”
“Dad! Do you want me to deliver or stay in the shop today-”
“My little goldfish you’re here!” You weren’t even able to finish your sentence when your dad also engulfs you in another suffocating hug.
“Dad what did I tell you about your suffocating hugs” you huff, unaware of the boy watching your interaction with your dad. It was a cute moment that Jungwon thinks he could engrave in his mind because you were definitely extra adorable at that moment.
“Do you mind staying in the store today? I’ll do the delivery round and how about you occupy Jungwon before I get back okay?” Your dad finally points at him sitting by one of the tables. Your head whips in his direction and Jungwon finds a moment of Deja Vu- just like the moment when you found out, he sat next to you in class. He sees you stifle a little before giving an awkward wave with a tint of blush rushing your neck and ears. He supposed interaction with your own parent was a little embarrassing to witness and he can attest to that.
“Hi,” You mumble. How are you supposed to act around someone whom you’ve recently discovered you have a huge crush on?
“Hello,” he mirrors. How was he supposed to act around someone whom he recently discovered he likes?
“Oh, you two are comfortable with each other now?” Your dad snaps the quiet conversation between you two. You give Jungwon a last look before nodding to your dad which Jungwon copied.
“Great! I’ll go do the deliveries now. Y/N please keep Jungwon occupied and look after the shop for a little bit! I’ll be back as soon as I can!” Just like that, your dad had rushed off with the box of bouquets.
With that, the shop goes a bit quiet with the two of you unable to look at each other, though it doesn’t last long when Jungwon interrupts the silence not before he glimpses in your direction. Five days. He wasn’t being dramatic when he thinks five days was too long not seeing you. His mind drifts to your relationship with Beomgyu. Were the two of you closer than you and him? Does Beomgyu know you more than him now? In those five days, Jungwon wonders if you’d missed him as he missed you too. He just wishes your friendship was still as it was. “So uhm… How were classes?”
“Classes?” You jolted at his sudden question you convince yourself. Totally not by his voice. “Classes were… okay. Normal I supposed? Sorry I didn’t bring your notes”
“I supposed it should be normal yeah” Jungwon chuckles, mentally giving himself a facepalm at the stupid question. “and don’t worry about that. It’s not like you knew I’d be here”
“hmm why are you here anyway?” you ask walking closer to the front register and leaning on the desk with your elbow, cheeks resting on your hand. “It’s rare to find a busy idol like you to be in a random flower shop” you giggle
“Just picking up flowers for my aunt before I go there” he replies without missing a smile on hearing your giggle
“Not for me?” You pout jokingly before dramatically sighing hand on your forehead “Oh chivalry is dead”
“You’re more dramatic than I remember” he chuckles, walking to where you are.
“This is what you get for leaving me with Beomgyu for a whole week” you go back to your position. “Now you have to deal with two of us”
“I wouldn’t mind dealing with you” He doesn’t know where the confidence comes from but with your red cheeks and flustered expression, the splurge of his confidence doesn’t stop. “Maybe you’ll like me more than Beomgyu and Jen- YN THE VASE”
“THE VASE” unable to comprehend the amount of confidence the Jungwon in front of you was displaying, you tried your best to gather yourself together out of your dilemma. You really tried. You were out there internally calling God to help you deal with this newly found side of Jungwon when your elbow leaning on the front desk hits the vase decoratively displayed forward.
Thanks to your, now recovered state, you were quick enough to grab the vase. However, Jungwon, naturally gifted with quick reflexes, was also able to grasp the vase before it slips on the floor. Now, If you were praying for God at the previous dilemma, you were definitely pleading for any or if not, allthe heavenly beings in all astral dimensions to help you with the current awkward situation.
As you had grasped the vase first before Jungwon had, his hands were now on top of yours as you both held the fragile vase. Apparently, you comprehend the situation faster as your eyes dart from his hand to his eyes to find him mirroring you. His hand is large, soft and warm you note and Jungwon can’t help but thinks almost the same except he thinks your hand is smaller which makes you more adorable than he had ever thought. Neither of you moving from the situation. Hand in hand on the vase and eyes locked on each other. It was almost as if you both didn’t want to let go and maybe the comfortable silence, soft gaze and red cheeks were an indication that you both didn’t.
“OH HEY IT’S YOU JUNGWON!” crack. An abrupt loud voice made the two of you jump, hands pulling out forgetting the fragile vase in your grasp. Jungwon had definitely walked back a few steps and you were too shocked at the vase on the floor to notice the voice that had both of you jumping.
“AND Y/N?!” You finally looked up to see Choi Beomgyu.
“Beomgyu?” You both called in unison.
“Hello, it’s me” He waved at Jungwon then to you, then his attention focused on the broken vase. “Damn, who’s the clumsy person who dropped that? It looks expensive”
You and Jungwon looked at each other, glad Beomgyu missed the event prior to vase breaking. “Uh, I did” You mumble, quickly rushing to the backroom to gather the brush and dustpan to clear the broken piece.
“Oh wow, I’ve never been to this side of the town” Beomgyu walks toward Jungwon who is now sitting back down in his previous seat. “It’s so quiet and nice here”
“Yeah, Y/N’s dad owns the place. I think it’s a perfect spot to hang out without overbearing fans” Jungwon agrees as he watches you clear the broken piece easily and quickly before joining them,
“Your dad owns the place?” Beomgyu directs the question to you which you nod. “Oh… then I should probably g-“
“Excuse me? Is the shop still open?” A voice calls out from the entrance as their footsteps echo closer. Being the daughter of the owner, you quickly stand up and make your way to the customer.
“Actually yeah-“
“Oh I’m so sorry, it isn’t right? I didn’t read the sign” The customer- or rather a potential customer took one glance at you and your resting bitch face and was ready to turn around. Jungwon doesn’t miss the way your expression falls with your head to hide your eyes with your hair.
“No, we’re actually ope-“
“Hello! Welcome! We’re actually still open if you’d like to have a look around!” Jungwon calls out, loud and cheerful enough for the woman to go back. Jungwon takes the apron laying around the front desk and quickly slips it on, walking towards you. “Y/N, we’ll handle this together”
Just like that, the customer walks to you and Jungwon. You both walk her around the flowers and suggest arrangements for each she picked. While you skilfully arranged the flowers, Jungwon and Beomgyu worked their way on the register machine. Soon enough, all three of you were seeing off the customer. When they say words travel fast, it really does because your shop is now facing a line of customers waiting to buy flowers from the small flower shop with “two handsome workers” and just like that, your shop was left empty and a very tired “two handsome workers” and a sale lady.
“I’m sorry I had you two work in the shop out of nowhere” after the three of you get enough rest, you walk out of the staff room, holding two iced tea and serving them to Beomgyu and Jungwon who currently looked tired and you don’t blame them.
“Don’t worry about it, I enjoyed it actually” Jungwon assures you, though you aren’t fully convinced by his tired look. “really, it feels refreshing to do. A day off from the idol stuff”
“For real! It wasn’t what I expected I would be doing when I walked out of the dorm but that was kind of fun actually” Beomgyu adds
“Why were you out and about anyway?” you ask
“I had a fight with Soobin’s pet Odi” Beomgyu scoffs “that little prickly hamster”
“Isn’t Odi a hedgehog?” Jungwon questions, slightly confused if he had heard wrong
“Whatever he is” Beomgyu scoffs again “I swear Soobin is correct that the little guy is Snail Lady”
“You guys have a pet hedgehog?” You awe as you move closer to Beomgyu “I’ve always thought they’re so cute, but I never knew you could have them as a pet!”
“Yeah, He’s called Odi and one of my members, Soobin, has him as a pet” Beomgyu whips out his phone and shows you photos. “Isn’t he so cute?”
“Y/N, but Maeumi is cuter right?” Jungwon is quick to go between you and Beomgyu, asking you about Maeumi
“Well yeah, I guess but they’re both different species-“
“Oh? What happened here?!” Your dad’s voice is heard from the entrance upon seeing your empty flower shop.
“Hey dad” you waved and smiled. “Beomgyu and Jungwon helped us sell out the flowers. Apparently, they’re old ladies man”
“Are you and Jungwon friends now? This guy is also your friend?!” Your dad exclaimed, “You’re both my little goldfish’s friends?”
Jungwon nods and chuckles at your dramatic- almost teary-eyed dad. “Dad, I have friends you know! Stop being dramatic”
“Nice to meet you Beomgyu?” Your dad doesn’t pay attention to you but goes straight to Beomgyu with a handshake. Beomgyu shakes his hand but you and Jungwon can’t help but snicker at his frozen almost scared face.
“Yeah, they’ve been in Hybe U together since the first year!” Beomgyu’s eyes widen at Jungwon. Beomgyu’s heart is leaping out of his chest at that mention, why would Jungwon tell him that. He was sure your dad would be yelling at him at any moment.
“OH! Then any friend of Y/N and Jungwon are welcome here!” Your dad comes closer and hugs Beomgyu. Beomgyu is clearly still shocked and very much frozen. “Y/N, go grab some pastries for these two! And get the fresh ones in the kitchen!” You tsk at this but still go anyway.
“I’m sorry Beomgyu, I must’ve come off as scary again” Your dad settle down, leaving both boys in front of him without words. “ I know I look scary and I’ve been offered those types of jobs before but I promise you, my love for flowers and cafés is greater.. and I’m scared of blood”
“I can take a misunderstanding, but I hope Y/N has been living well without them” your dad continues. “I’m sure Y/N has heard of them but she has never brought it up with me”
Both Beomgyu and Jungwon are still lost for words. Jungwon for thinking again how you two are similar and Beomgyu really questioning the fact that you hadn’t told your own dad about the rumours about you and him in Hybe U because he would definitely have if it was him. Beomgyu notices that in fact, both you and your dad were nothing like the rumours.
“Don’t worry Mr Y/L/N! Nothing like those will ever happen again!” Jungwon speaks up as you’re exiting the kitchen with the pastries in a paper bag in your hand “I will help… and Beomgyu will too”
“That’s right Mr Y/L/N!” Beomgyu speaks up
“Help with what” you catch up
“U-Uh you know…” Jungwon starts
“When you can’t handle the shop like today” Beomgyu continues, sticking out his tongue at you as you do too and placing the paper bags on the table.
“Dad, we should probably go. Jungwon has to help Ms Yang and Beomgyu has some reconciliation to do” You tell him and the boys agree
“Give me two seconds! I forgot about the flower” Your dad rushes to the back room.
“Y/N, you didn’t tell your dad about the rumours in Hybe U?” Beomgyu whispers and you shake your head in response.
“My dad is a little sensitive you see. He gets a little dramatic over something small, so I try not to worry him when he’s already got so much to worry about.” You explain. “Did you guys know when I made friends with the Dream, he celebrated with a party” Beomgyu and Jungwon laughs at the thought. Jungwon can’t help but fall for you all over again. He was definitely in too deep, and he’s not worried at all.
“Jungwon here’s for your aunt” Your dad comes around with a bouquet which Jungwon took before your dad reaches out to Beomgyu with a single red rose wrapped in a thin white paper in his hand. “and this is for you Beomgyu! It’s a gift! Red roses symbolize passionate love and I can see the passion of what you love in you”
“You do?! I am a passionate man!” Beomgyu takes the rose in his hand feeling triumph and happiness.
“Okay Dad, we’ll go now bye!” You pulled the two out of the shop. “I’ll walk Jungwon to the apartment, how about you Beomgyu?”
“I think I’m a fan of your dad” The sparks in his eyes were an understatement. You could practically see fireworks setting off if you look enough.
“Ok, don’t get lost on your way back daydreaming,” You tell him, sending him off but he doesn’t move. “Go reconcile with Odi with your new passion yeah?”
“With passion!” he raises the rose in his hand while walking back.
“Will he be okay?” You ask Jungwon as you two start to make your way back to the apartment.
“He’ll be fine I think” Jungwon laughs as you do too.

♡Summary: When Enhypen are forced back to attend class, Jungwon is determined to fight or flight; by tying to get out of school or trying to make the best of ordinary school life. What would happen when he comes across the rumoured bully who happens to be his aunt’s neighbour who is really good at making cookies?!
an:uh yeah i got carried away :) Since this is a slightly longer written chapter, i’ll post double tomorrow instead!
synopsis: heeseung and y/n - two victims of a mutual skinny love. too shyegoistical to confess, too similar to one another. but what happens when she secretly takes a liking to her bestfriend’s closest friend, jay?
PRECIS. lee heeseung is the handsome yet good for nothing mysterious boy living a floor below you, who dropped out of college and is living quite a lavish life. when you get fired from your job, ending up struggling to make your ends meet and failing to pay the rent, heeseung offers you rather an eccentric proposal : pay the rent or be his girlfriend.
NOTE. lmao this chapter alone made me make this smau skskks
warnings. mentions of cheating, drinking, yn has gone crazy ( 1.64k )
“Do I look okay?"
Heeseung sighs, locking his car before setting his eyes on you. "This is the fourth time you’re asking me that."
"Sorry, I need constant reassurance.” You snicker, rolling your eyes as you make your way to the lift, pressing the buttons for the first floor. There are times when you think parking lots constructed on several lays into the ground are useless. You’ve barely seen anyone use any of them except the one on Basement-One, besides Heeseung. That man just drove down to the third basement.
Silence follows the two of you wherever you go, though comfortable, fortunately. After the thirty-minute-long car ride, you conclude that he’s not half bad. At least, not as much as he pretends to be over text, reminding you about your due rent every other day. Perhaps, it’s just a cover for today since he’s your ‘boyfriend’ and is already into the role. Either way, you’d love to enjoy the elite treatment from him.
The ’ding’ goes off, remarking your arrival at the destined floor. Heeseung slides his hands inside his pocket before noticing you fix your dress obsessively.
“You look beautiful,” He compliments with an irritated sigh. “Stop overthinking.” He puts your hand around his arm, entering the wedding hall, as if you’re the one getting married, instead of your cousin.
Five minutes in, and you already want to leave. You aren’t the most socially active member of your family, and witnessing around a hundred people gathered together is giving you a headache. Your gaze follows along the garlands adorned on the chairs and tables, content with the choice of flowers. At least, there’s one thing good about today.
“Oh my god, yn, is that you?!” That’s your aunt, probably the only person you actually enjoy talking to in your family. However, watching her approach you with a glass of champagne irks your ends. “It has been so long since we last talked."
"Right,” You respond with an awkward laugh, feeling a bit guilty about not being able to reciprocate her enthusiasm. You wonder what has gotten you exhausted all of a sudden. “By the way, this is my boyfriend, Heeseung."
He shoots her his best smile. One that makes you feel like he’s flirting with her. "Nice to meet you,” That’s the modest you’ve seen him to date, yet exaggerated.
“You’ve earned yourself a handsome boyfriend,” She sends you a teasing glare, making you smile consequentially. Meanwhile, you miss the way the corner of Heeseung’s lips curls up. “You should go meet your mom. She’d loved to see you."
You nod, holding back your laugh. Your aunt isn’t wrong. Your mom would love to see you. However, not because she’s meeting her daughter after months, but because she’s delighted to see you attending family functions and snatching everyone’s chances to comment on your incompetence.
That’s how things have always been. The compliments were never about getting a perfect score but rather about how you must keep it up and stay a step ahead of all your cousins. Though, it simply doesn’t matter now. You’ve moved out. You live separately and no longer have to follow your mom’s instructions. Not like she cares. You’re doing well in college, and it turns out that she’s content with that.
"You came.” Lost amidst your thoughts, you don’t realize that your mother is already standing before you. “With your boyfriend, of course."
"Lee Heeseung,” He greets her, his gaze fluttering between your mom and your saddened face. Unknowingly, a sour wave passes over him as he tries to come up with something to lighten the atmosphere, only for you to beat him to it.
“Can we leave now?” It’s an odd question. Well, strange enough for Heeseung. You’re indifferent as always, and the expression on your mom’s face doesn’t seem to faze either. “You wanted me to attend the wedding and introduce you to him. We’re done here, I suppose."
Heeseung doesn’t know why, but he hopes your mom will stop you. It’s funny because he doesn’t expect it from his mom either. However, his hopes end up trashed as he notices your expression stiffen.
Your mom smile at a guest behind you, paying you no mind. "Suit yourself,” And you scoff at yourself for thinking she’d ever tell you to stay.
You should be used to this by now; you are, yet it hurts more this time. Maybe because you are with Heeseung and you wanted your mom to at least pretend to be a good mother in front of your boyfriend? Whatever. You close the chapter, stamping it as a moment of weakness.
“Looks like you’re not on good terms with her,” Heeseung mumbles, smiling at your aunt, who waves at you both from a distance. He anticipates a sarcastic comeback, only for you to laugh as if he just told a joke.
“Man, I hoped she’d try to be decent in front of my boyfriend,” You sigh, downing another glass of wine.
Heeseung throws his arms around your shoulders, catching you by surprise as he leans down to your ears. “Don’t worry. I won’t break up with you just because your mom is a bitch."
He wonders if he’s allowed to use that term, only to smile in relief when you chuckle at his flirtatious comment. Heeseung doesn’t remember the last time he cared about making someone smile. No, he’s not mean; neither is he a cold and distant person who only knows how to make someone’s life a living hell. He simply doesn’t care about that. Heeseung believes in the art of giving and receiving. While he’s giving you a reason to smile, he’s not sure about the him on the receiving end when it comes to you.
"You can leave.” You say, catching him off guard.
“That’s all?” He checks the time before tending to you once again. “Just forty-five minutes? I thought you said one day."
You smirk. "Why, do you enjoy being my boyfriend?” Heeseung doesn’t reply, excusing your question with a chuckle and escorting you out of the venue. “Shall we go back?"
"You can go back. I’ll go to the bar.” He doesn’t ask more questions, walking out as you proceed towards the bar opposite to the wedding hall on the same floor.
Thinking about it now, your day with Heeseung wasn’t half bad. Well, just forty-five minutes or maybe an hour, but you enjoyed it, surprisingly. Besides, he’s good at pretending. You really didn’t expect someone like him to be so good at playing roles. After all, all Heeseung ever does is sit at home and play Mario Kart, with ocassional outings because of 'work.'
Usually, you don’t drink past two shots. Today happens to be an exception. You’ve already had two glasses of wine at the wedding, and it doesn’t help you. So you sit by the counter, ordering almost everything on the list because, after all, everything’s on your cousin’s new family today, and you might as well enjoy the riches after living like a ragged bitch for months now.
However, despite drinking like you’ll never see alcohol again in your life, you know damn well that you’re not hallucinating. You recognize the man sitting at a distance as your ex-boyfriend and, if your eyes aren’t deceiving you, he’s with a girl.
Now, you don’t know that concerns you. He dumped you exactly a week ago. However, you spent nights crying and trying your shots at moving on while he’s in the bar, enjoying his life to the fullest. And you’re not the one to hold grudges but, sometimes, it is the answer.
“You’ve got to be fucking kidding me,” A scoff escapes your lips as you approach him, earning all sorts of stares from the woman. “Is she your new chick-fling? Are you going to dump her after in months too?"
He stands up, letting an annoyed sigh fall of his lips as the girl with him rolls her eyes. "Yn, you’re dr—”
“Yeah, I’m drunk.” You cut him off mid-sentence. “But I’m sober enough to see that you’re here with her when we broke up barely a week ago."
Junhwan snickers, running his fingers through his hairs as if he’s about to fight for his laugh. "And what about it? We’ve broken up. I can do whatever I want."
He’s not half wrong, but where’s the compassion? Seeing him like this, you wonder how many of those 'I love yous’ shared with him were genuine. You hate yourself for getting mad over your ex, who clearly didn’t deserve you in the first place. It’s alcohol, you conclude.
"Looks like I was the only one wasting my time being sad over an asshole like you. I should have fun too, right?” At this point, you’re barely processing your words. You feel your vision turn hazy, head feeling dizzy. However, revenge sounds much fruitful now. “Okay, how about this; I’ll sleep with the first man I bump. Sounds pretty fun, isn’t it?"
He grabs your arms, preventing you from falling as you stumble because of your heels. "You’ve lost your mind."
"I don’t see how that concerns since we’ve broken up.” You think that’s a marvelous comeback because of alcohol. Maybe it actually is. It’s highly likely that you’ll regret your decision tomorrow but right now, it’s about your dignity. ( Again, sleeping with the first man you bump into isn’t going to improve your dignity but reminders : you’re under influence )
Collecting your pride, you turn around, proceeding to walk out of the bar before you bump into someone. Upon a closer look, you learn that it’s a man and, after a much, much closer look, you realize that it’s Heeseung. It’s good, very good. Heeseung is better than that douche canoe.
You smirk, putting you hand on his shoulder as his hand involuntarily snaked around your waist. “Do you want to sleep with me?” And rest all is history.
PRECIS. lee heeseung is the handsome yet good for nothing mysterious boy living a floor below you, who dropped out of college and is living quite a lavish life. when you get fired from your job, ending up struggling to make your ends meet and failing to pay the rent, heeseung offers you rather an eccentric proposal : pay the rent or be his girlfriend.
NOTE. yn stop creating problems for yourself challenge ??? guys pls dont drink and talk esp to ur ex just fucking go to bed or smn
no— he believes. it’s an odd thought for ten in the morning, in middle of chemistry lesson, but heeseung doesn’t mind. and just like an important presentation, he has all the reasonings jotted down on the back of his notebook, doodles with vines and hearts.
heeseung has known you for four years. not you, heeseung; he has known you for four years. he isn’t the type to stand out amongst the crowd, for he seemingly dissolves into it like fine particles, almost too invisible to be sedimented. he doesn’t enjoy attention. heeseung likes to be the to sit in middle of a row with ear phones and math occupying most of his day.
coming back to the point, four years, they have been terriblefor him. the day you transferred to his middle school, his life turned upside down. you had taken the last bench, near the window, and still managed to have everyone in the class look at you as if you were the subject to their queries. you were the type to throw paper balls in the middle of the class. you made snarky comments, disturbed the momentum, ruined the decorum, destroy his peace of mind, made it hard for him to focus— there are so many reasons why you flipped his life style.
you don’t know heeseung, you never triedto, until highschool. you knew there’s a boy in your class, too quiet to mingle, too loud in his mind to speak anything.
you knew there was a lee heeseung in your class, that’s it. that was your story.
now, in highschool first year, you know there’s a lee heeseung in your class. the same lee heeseung who was your classmate in middle school. the one who keeps listening to that one tchaikovsky piece over and over again while solving math. the one who always caught your attention, but never mystic enough for you to reach him out.
you’ve known him for three months now, and that’s how heeseung’s story began.
there are so many reason as for why you and heeseung should be more than just friends. he has known you for four years, that’s a lot more than any other friend you have in the school. he’s the only one you seek at 2 am for late night escapades. his notes are the only reliable source of study material you refer to two weeks before exams. his number is the only one you’ve saved with a ’<3’ on your phone, and many more.
heeseung doesn’t remember taking a liking to you at all. he remembers calling you annoying in front of everyone in middle school. he remembers cursing out at you when his team lost relay because you tripped. he remembers all the moments he hurt you. heeseung also remembers spending first three months of highschool sitting next to you, but he doesn’t remember falling for you.
he doesn’t remember doodling your name on the corner of his text books. he doesn’t remember doing those silly compatibility tests with you on the palm of his hands. he doesn’t remember losing his breath when you hugged him instinctively after you won your first relay in highschool. heeseung doesn’t remember the important details.
once upon a time, there was you, that’s it. that’s his story. that’s his beginning and his end, all from you.
heeseung doesn’t remember falling for you but he realises that with every passing day, he falls even deeper. it’s like going down even after hitting rock bottom. heeseung recalls when you held his hand for a group picture with your middle school friend and his heart exploded into a million butterflies. it’s really nothing, just the way your hand fits in his; it’s literally five plus five, and yet your touch had him orbiting and ripping his hair out strand by strand when that sensation slipped inside his head every night.
hereallybelieves that you should be more than friends. heeseung believes you should be lovers instead.
but, then again it’s all inside his head; and you’re too busy being in love with jay to even notice his lovelorn eyes.
