EDITION .. sometimes, the kindest thing you can do is let go
FEATURING .. han jisung
CW(S) .. jk the breakup wasn’t hypothetical, no sole villain in this.. maybe, industry insiders got it all wrong
MONA SAYS .. hi :3
a year ago, zhang yuehua had a vision. it had blossomed into a plan; the type that was meant to be long term. because a year ago, when love still looked rosy behind the glass, lua believed she and jisung would outlast the longeviety expectancy for a relationship like theirs.
and for a time, they were lucky.
their respective group members were supportive, and so were the fans. the managements hadn't demanded much from their relationship; only that they do not let it affect their careers.
well, it was a strange form of reverse psychology.
and now that lua looks back on it, maybe she should have knocked on wood (could it still work now? or does it only apply upon immediate recitation?). or, perhaps the relieved sigh she'd exhaled after letting the world know she was in love came too soon.
lua isn't in the right space for hypotheticals. all she had on her hands right now was a scenario that she'd become familiar with during the past five months.
“one dinner, jisung. all i asked was for you to spend time with me before we get so busy again.” she calls out the elephant in the room again. “i had it all planned out, even asked you to save the date so you won't forget.”
jisung tries to plead his case, hopelessly gesturing to his phone. “and i did, it's right there on my reminders. but you know what it's like when you have that bout of inspiration, you write one idea then it spirals, and then—”
“—you forget your girlfriend's waiting for you, hoping you'll show up this time. then when she realizes you're not going to, she crashes into your studio and starts this fight again.” she snaps, “i know, jisung. this isn't the first time we've ended up like this, remember? or was it the deadlines that made you forget that too?”
and despite it being futile, jisung weakly argues, “i texted you, didn't i?”
yeah, he did.
only after an hour of sitting at the table she'd reserved specifically for what would have been their private moment, he'd let her know that he would be running late again.
the silence falls upon the couple, loosely binding them together.
both of them know this script. neither were permanently assigned to a role because at one point, maybe two, lua too had let their relationship down.
and neither were solely to blame, not when both idols were tethered to relationships that regularly expected and demanded too much from them. but someone had to peel the band-aid..
“is this it? is this where we end up?”
lua still looks at jisung with love in those sad eyes. because that's the truth—she loves this man. despite the exhaustion that'd become a regular in their relationship, she adores him. and even at their worst, she reminds him of that.
“i love you, jisung.” she says it with conviction, with his face cupped in her palms, and her mind recommitting every part of him to memory. “maybe i always will. but right now, we need to set each other free, before what we have becomes something we can't save.”
and jisung closes his eyes, sucks in a shaky breath. because she's right; between the two of them, she usually was.
when he opens them again, tears gather upon his lashes. a few rebellious ones fall, only to be swiped away by lua's tender touch, replaced by the gentle kisses she sets on his cheeks.
he leans in and kisses her, just to feel the buzz that jumps his heart one more time. jisung murmurs against her lips, “please don't forget about me.”
“never, i could never forget you.” she swears to the fragments of his fragile heart.
❑ TAGLIST .. kinda too embarrassed to tag anyone cause its been two years.. yikes
i raise you with the daily reminder that han jisung felt like the world was ending when he saw his crush had gotten in a dating rumor…. with his own bandmate 🤠

I just know rin came back home and all she could talk about was 'lua was so hot, she was so fine, she looked so good I almost fainted, everyone was screaming, I couldn't breathe it was soo cool' someone else asks her 'how was performing on stage?' 'oh performing on stage was so fun- ON THAT NOTE DID YOU SEE LUA'S PERFORMANCE???'
Shes promoting them better than kq...
sweetie’s not gonna be sleeping for the next 3-5 business years- OKAY BUT LIKE…… have you seen kq’s ceo 😃 he is a Man yes but… he could be 25% forgiven for fumbling at times
Oh noo my babies I'm so sorry oh breakups suck so damn badd my poor twilight babies
true ): like when they unanimously chose to let both fandoms know they were dating, that was a decision that had taken a while to settle on because this was personal information that they were going to give to the public, which would inevitably lead to all eyes on their relationship
Rin is asking her to marry at the spot no care that is it pls one chance she will beg on her knees (if han jisung was dumb enough to fumble the bag... That's on him)!
WHEEZE just imagine jisung during an event and constantly sneezing because everyone who was there at coachella or saw lua content said things like that
Oh wait the breakup was for real?? Oh shit damn I was thinking it was speculations oh nooo yeah insider news is so shitty they don't even let the two of them heal properly before plastering their faces and news of their breakup all over f*CK them tbh ewww !!!
I hope ghe rest of 24 is kinder to her the moon needs it's glow
spoiler alert: they broke up 😭 no actually it isn’t confirmed by the couple themselves because neither of them are really.. willing to face the public with news just yet
Going through a lot ??? Oh noooo my poor babyyy plsss kisses and hugs to help her !!!
💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋 🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂
mhm, what with the breakup (++ speculations about their relationship status) and the small hiatus that was caused by constant schedules (tempted to delve into more on that) 2024 knows better than to be cruel to this little baby moon
You just know Rin was in the crowd hyperventilating during lua's stage !!!!
Girl has no chill she was on the ground dying screaming going crazy
PLS i can envision the locals looking over like “do we.. should we call paramedics for her..?” and also like since the other teezers were barely using the contents of their suitcase i have the right to point out that her looks over this weekends were some of the hottest so far
💬 FROM STAY : April 14 & 15, 2024 - Various Timings
💌note - these are mainly various stays reaction to Rin performing !!! i will probably make another one to show their reaction to her insta posts or more reactions in general !!!
