high school sweetheart.
sypnosis: you had a crush on a girl that never seem to noticed you, so your friends and yourself had the great idea that you probably should write her letters until the ski trip, too bad you've mistaken her locker with jang wonyoung's, the most popular girl in school.
warning: maybe kind of social anxiety (?), not really but enemies to lovers.
(sorry for any grammar mistakes, english isn't my first language!)
genre: fluff, maybe a little angst.
ever since you came into high school, you catch yourself staring at An Yujin, the volleyball team's captain. your friends were quick to noticed how you would ramble about her, pure admiration filling your voice.
she was sat next to you in math and would explained you what you weren't understanding, you swore you fell in love, but she never seemed to care more than that.
"—you're so right ! she will like me with that." you affirmed as Rei raised an eyebrow at you.
"are you really sure this gonna work?"
"well, people like poetry!" you defended yourself as Gaeul giggled leaning back on her chair.
"what do you mean? how laufey and pinkpantheress' lyrics are supposed to be poetry-?"
"it is!" you cut off Rei, making the one that gave you the idea giggled once again.
the canteen was pretty loud. you never really liked loud places, it made you uncomfortable and tense.

Jang Wonyoung, high school sweetheart.
it would be a lie if she said that she don't received love confessions in her locker every weeks. in fact it was very common for her.
but this time it was beyond different.
she couldn't help herself but smile, that's when one of her friend pointed it out.
"that's laufey lyrics! i love laufey!" Liz exclaimed as Wonyoung took back the letter as soon it left her hand afraid it would be tear apart.
Leeseo raised an eyebrow as she tried to remember who kim y/n was.
"ooh! i know her!"
her?
Wonyoung eyes widened, she didn't noticed the name before. it was the very first time a girl ever confessed her love to her.
"who's she?"
"that's Yujin-unnie's math seat mate. the one that she helps a lot but ends up with perfect grades."
"i thought she had a crush on Yujin?" Liz questioned confused as she tilt her head towards the youngest.
Leeseo took out her phone as she showed the tallest your instagram.
"send me her profile, need to stalk her highlights." Wonyoung announced as Liz let out a scoff in slight shock.
it wasn't unusual.
—
"Yujin was smiling a lot more! it totally worked! guys im telling you this is working." y/n said as Gaeul shook her head smiling.
Rei thought a moment before heading her a piece of paper out of her bag.
"then write a new quote!" Rei said supportively as she placed a pencil on the offee table in front of her as she let herself fall onto Gaeul's couch.
Gaeul's parents had always good taste, it wasn't a surprise for them to have a living room this comfortable and welcoming.
Rei liked it.
you thought for a moment before writing the quote not minding Rei's curious glares nor Gaeul reading out loud as you were writing. the green pencil slipping on the sheet as your focus face made the girls smile at you. it was cute how involved you were.
"i'm doing it until the ski trip and then confess, easy-peasy!" the two girl sitting in front of you shared a glare before bursting into laughter.
you gave them a stare as they calmed down smiling like two idiots acting like nothing happened as if they didn't just made fun of you for being a little too corny.
"yah! it's not funny!" you hit Rei's shoulder with the nearest book you could laid your hand on when you heard her chucked silently.
—
Yujin smirk once again trying to reach the letter, an eyebrow raised at her volleyball teammate.
"come on, let me see! as your captain, you must–."
"it has nothing to do with volleyball!" Wonyoung defended herself as she gazed another time on the note you slid into her locker once again.
after a few more begging and whining, Wonyoung gave in as she hand the paper at Yujin. her eyes drifting from the hallway as she saw you walking with your friends.
you took a quick glance at Yujin as you watched her passing the note to Wonyoung, your face remaining confused as you let yourself drag you away an unreadable expression on your face.
in reality you were jealous, why would Yujin pass your ´love letters' to Wonyoung. why were Yujin smiling like that? was it because of you or Wonyoung's perfect annoyed face?
Wonyoung's orbits widened as she hit Yujin on the shoulder panicked.
"the fu-? what was that?" the volleyball captain rubbed her arm glaring at Wonyoung.
"she saw us!"
"who–?"
"Y/n! she looked hurt!" Yujin rolled her eyes and hit the popular girl with the same among of strength she received a while ago.
"maybe she thinks you're making fun of her, you should probably write some notes with lyrics or poems or whatever back at her."
Wonyoung froze for a second before smiling placing her hand on Yujin shoulder.
"you're a genius."
—
you kept this little game between you two going, it was now time for the ski trip and you were impatient.
when you entered the bus, you expected Yujin to wait in a seat alone like 'she' mentioned in her letter, you were quit surprise to see her seating with Liz already sharing some snacks.
"y/n, please sit down." your teacher said as every eyes in the bus fixed their stares on you.
you never liked loud place and full of people. like the bus. you hated school trips if you weren't sat down next to someone you knew.
as you were about to protest an angelic voice offered you a sit with an hesitant smile.
Jang Wonyoung, high school sweetheart.
the one you probably tell your children's about even if she was just your friend, your classmate or hallway crush.
you sat down immediately scared of the stares on you glaring at your hands wrapped around your bag.
"miffy." you turned your gaze to meet the most beautiful smile you've ever laid your eyes on.
"excuse me?"
"oh, i meant i like your miffy plushie." she explained referring to the small stuffed animal hanging on your bag.
"thank you.." you replied nervously eyeing Yujin from the corner of your eyes.
Wonyoung was nervous and came to the conclusion you were probably nervous too so she took out a piece of paper and write down something as she placed it between your hands.
confused you read the note, you couldn't help a slight smile drawing itself on your face as you replied.
"snow!" someone exclaimed really loudly as you tried to watch by the window getting closer to Wonyoung involuntarily.
"you're pretty as the snow." she blurted out without warning as you look at her like you've misheard what she said.
you just smiled and took out your earphones as you were about to play on laufey, she remembered the very first note you send her.
remarking the way she was intrigued by the song playing in your earphones, you offered her one of your airpods as you both listened to your playlist in silence.
Rei and Gaeul shared a look confused.
Liz and Leeseo also shared a look, but it was totally different. it was a knowing look. both of them smirking quickly taking a pic.
people in the van were quick to notice Wonyoung's way to look at you. it wasn't ordinary that she sat with someone else than her friends.
—
"Wonyoung? how?" Rei and Gaeul asked at the same time both of their face holding once of mixed up.
"i don't know.. she just offered."
As Gaeul asked many questions, Rei analysed Yujin's group expression as they were watching you as Wonyoung talk.
'she has a crush on, y/n.' Rei came to this conclusion as she remembered everything that happened this past few months.
what if y/n were talking with Wonyoung instead of Yujin? Rei rejected this idea, fully listening to your rambling about every little detail that happened.
"you should confess." Yujin said wrapping her arms around Wonyoung's shoulder.
"what if-"
"she already likes you!" Leeseo argued back groaning at her friend.
the snow weren't falling but the ground were full of it, white snow spread everywhere recovering the grass a little.
the mountain covered too.
—
you heard a knock on the door, it was past the bedtime.
you opened unsure as you recognised Wonyoung's figure in the slight dark as she smile.
"it snowing. wanna walk around together?" she asked holding her gloves nervously but she seemed totally confident.
you glanced behind as Rei nodded multiple times and Gaeul just looked not understanding the whole situation as lost as you.
"wait, let me put on my coat." you replied, closing the door behind you.
you looked petrified.
"what's going on!?" you whispered-yelled, panicking.
"just go! Wonyoung seemed to be into you-"
"dont say things like that. she obviously likes Yujin too. she's like my enemie."
"a friendly enemie then." Gaeul joked, earning a slight scoff from the other one.
after what seemed an eternity, you finally showed yourself back ready to walk out.
it was quiet, a little cold but peaceful.
"i enjoy quiet things.."
Wonyoung nodded, she already knew that. you already told her in a note of yours. that's why she offered you a walk at night.
the snow hitting your shoes as you walked both of your hands inside your pockets.
she sighed as she stopped walking.
"i like you too." she confessed as your turn away.
"huh?"
"i like you too." she repeated.
you looked around maybe thinking that Yujin was too nervous to say it so she sent Wonyoung.
"does Yujin sent you?"
"pardon me?"
a weird atmosphere took place over your heads, it wasn't calm and peaceful, it was now tense and electric. like a bomb waiting to explode.
"the lyrics notes you sent me-"
"i didn't sent those to you." you harshly let out without thinking about your tone twice.
then it hit both of you at the same time. like connecting the dots together.
you realised you've been sending all these cute things full of love to the wrong person. to Jang Wonyoung, your friendly enemie.
silence.
dead silence.
"i'm sorry–." you tried to explained yourself out of this big misunderstanding.
"i'm so stupid." she murmured to herself, tears forming into the taller eyes.
"sorry, y/n. i won't be taking to much on your time anymore." she kept her head low avoiding your eyes.
shame.
she throw a paper away, leaving you alone under the lights of a street lamp apologising once again almost running away from you.
you didn't move, you just kneel down to pick up the piece of paper and your heart broke when you met your handwriting.
laufey lyrics, your very first note.
"Wonyoung!" you called as if she was still there but she was no longer in sight, probably running to her dorm.
and she had.
walking back to your dorm like a lost puppy, not knowing how to feel. you were sure of one thing, you didn't like Yujin anymore, at least not as much as you thought.
when you entered the dorm, Gaeul and Rei almost ran to you with big smirks as tears formed into your eyes.
the dorm was mostly in brown and pale blue tone, you liked it, it was welcoming.
"i've been sending letters to her. she likes me." you said between cries.
you weren't sure about the reason of your crying, maybe it was the disappointment of not winning Yujin's heart or breaking Wonyoung's heart. or maybe it was both or none.
Gaeul let you cry on your shoulder, she didn't saw that coming but Rei did. she knew something was off, she just decided to ignore it from the beginning.
"but you like Yujin?"
"i don't know! i like the person i wrote to, because Yujin was just a slight crush before the notes. i grew to like her because of those."
Rei sighed and caressed your back as you cried.
"you like Wonyoung's personality with Yujin's face." Rei tried to explained.
this whole month you've been dreaming of dates with Yujin, but she wasn't the one you truly like. she wasn't the one that truly liked you too.
you wiped your tears away.
"i like Wonyoung. i want Wonyoung." you sternly said determinedly.
"but–."
—
she avoided you all week.
ski trip was almost over and even if you made a promise to yourself to confess to Yujin, now it was different since the Yujin you liked, was Wonyoung. you had to confess to Wonyoung.
"it's impossible to find you at day." you said as Wonyoung turned around in shock as she stood up from the sofa in the hostel's living room.
"what are you doing here–?"
"Yujin told me you would be here." you simply answered making your way closer to her.
she felt chest getting heavy, ready for any kind of rejection. she was ready for your yells and cries and whatever you were about to throw her.
you took a deep breath.
"i think i like you. i fell for the person i wrote to this past few months."
"but, you liked Yujin."
"i did, i thought i did. but it wasn't as much as i was supposed to like her after this whole letter thing. so it means i like you."
"y/n–"
"i like you, im sure. i've never been more sure." Wonyoung didn't know where the confidence came from but she was kinda liking it.
silence.
it was different from last time you two had a silence between you two, this one it was pure of another kind of tension.
you walked closer.
"look how much i like you." you grabbed her by the collar, and you crashed your lips onto hers.
she kissed back with passion and hunger, like she had been craving for your lips. it was slow yet meaningful. her hands caressing your waist as you let her.
"this is how much i like you too."
and you did it, confess before the end of ski trip. but you did it to Wonyoung instead.
Jang Wonyoung, your sweetheart.
BONUS: first and last notes you sent her !!
