office crush to lovers. wotakoi inspired. wc: 2757
the city was bustling with busy as per a usual weekday. heels clacked and leather shoes hurried on the sidewalks, navigating their way to work. that wasn’t the case for you. today was a day off work because of some event in another department that did not concern yours and sunwoo’s, allowing a day of rest.
it was past 9 am and you have just woken up feeling quite a bit mislaid, not knowing what to do. usually around this time you’d be in front of your computer, typing away your work reports while taking bites out of the breakfast sandwich sunwoo always got you.
not having the energy to figure out what to spend today for, you mindlessly scrolled through tiktok curled up in your bed until a message dinged your phone.
nunu: morning
nunu: u up?
two messages sent after the other popped into your screen and you immediately clicked on it, not quite eager, but excited to know whatever sunwoo has planned for the day just so you could join in. hence, you responded and exchanged messages after so.
y/n: yea why
nunu: bfast?
y/n: let usssss
y/n: but where?
nunu: hb that sandwich place where i buy our usual?
y/n: oooh bet i’ve always wanted to try dining there
nunu: aightt, you know my place just message me when ure near so i can wait by the bus stop
y/n: got it 🤝
y/n: i’ll get ready now bye bye
nunu: you be careful, see u !!
acknowledging his last message with a heart reaction, you locked and threw your phone to the bed as you stood up to get ready, your face planted with an unconscious smile. you didn’t really know if you were happy with the idea that you won’t be couch potatoing for the day, or because you get to see sunwoo.
he’s part of your everyday now, not only on work days but even on weekends where you usually meet out to eat and hang, having been alone in each of your apartments. the friendly company of each other brought you both comfort. at work you got to play adults, but outside work you both get to act like teenagers with your endless playful bickering, midnight ice cream runs, and tv marathons whether it's an anime or movies or series. you loved being with sunwoo.
not further delaying your movements, you hopped into the shower preparing for whatever is to come today.
sunwoo, on the other hand, was all dressed already. he opted to message you after he's ready to go out just to avoid the possibility of you arriving in the meeting place earlier than him, not that it was a chance at all, but he wanted to make sure anyway just so he knows you wouldn't be waiting all alone. he meant to ask you to breakfast last night but argued within himself, not wanting to appear too clingy. sunwoo has always been careful about how you might see him. he wanted to be around you, but not always, not too pushy to scare you away. he didn't want to be too obvious, especially not when he's had some feelings he himself is yet to confront.
he saw you as a colleague at first, he respected you as a workmate. sunwoo saw your brilliance and wit, and he found you admirable. he didn't even notice when he started to feel.. things, he thought for sometime he just saw the good things in you, not realizing it's past mere compliments about you that he kept himself. the man was falling, oh he fell quicker than he could keep track of his feelings.
but he would never admit them. not even to himself, perhaps to sunwoo, acknowleding the heart is followed by rejection. and he enjoyed being with you too much to waste the bond, so he settles with your friendship. not that he was complaining, if anything, he was grateful to even be close to you, and much happier that you two were the closest among your workmates. sunwoo was contented but he'd be lying if he says he wouldn't want anything more.
the walk down the bus stop didn't take long enough for the thoughts that preoccupied his head. anyway, sunwoo already got to the meeting place just before you messaged to tell him you were around 5 minutes away.
basking in the morning air, sunwoo was glad the traffic had died down, allowing him to enjoy watching the vehicles that drove by. each one of them dropping and picking up new passengers, until it was you coming out of the bus.
sunwoo stood up with a small smile as soon as he saw you and you shoot him a smile back as you observed his clothing, he was dressed in a hoodie and jeans, just as you expected.
"do you even wash that hoodie? didn't you wear that last week?" you asked teasingly as soon as you were in front of him. the small smile on his face that welcomed you fell into a playful annoyed face, “at least i wash my hair everyday.”
he likes teasing like this, “hey, you’re not supposed to wash your hair everyday because it’s going to keep the natural oil and stuff,” you huffed as you followed him walking. “so you’re supposed to stink?” he joked even more.
“no i do not stink!” you said loudly laughing in between. “you have got to stop believing everything you see on tiktok,” sunwoo exclaimed laughing along with you.
the teasing and the tiktok banter kept going until you were a crossroad away from the small sandwich shop marked with a logo familiar to you.
as soon as you entered the sandwich shop, you heard the old lady stood behind the counter chirp a greeting to the man who held the door before you, “oh sunwoo, good morning!”
sunwoo kept his hand on the door as you took your steps but his eyes immediately went to the old lady, greeting back to her with another “good morning” paired with a gentle smile.
she had went back to cutting the ingredients as you walked towards the counter with sunwoo, checking on the menu. you observed the store and it felt like a subway but homey, maybe because of the seats and tables that are not too fancy but neat and pretty in color. seeing the freshly cut vegetables reminded you of your hunger and the smell of the sizzling meat didn’t help either. you continued scanning the menu when a conversation between the two started.
“are you getting your usual?” asked the lady as she looked at sunwoo. “yes but i’ll be dining here this time, you don’t need to rush preparing it,” sunwoo answered in a chuckle. apparently, sunwoo’s habit was no different to yours, always rushing in the morning.
the lady took note of sunwoo’s additional coffee order before turning her head towards you, “how about your order, dear?” she was sweet. you felt no pressure choosing a sandwich for breakfast but you didn’t feel adventurous today so you went with the order sunwoo always brought you.
“i’ll just have the regular sandwich with mayo, onions, and cheese, but without the pickles and tomato please,” you answered politely as you pulled your wallet out of your bag to prepare payment. just before you looked back up at the lady, you added, “i’ll also have the same coffee sunwoo’s having.”
this time you looked at her and she had this quizzed look on her face, as if solving a math equation stamped on your face. you only looked at her with both your eyebrows raised, mirroring the same look of confusion as you wait for a response.
“oh it’s her!” she exclaimed with her face lit up. you couldn’t understand what she meant but sunwoo seemed to get it when his eyes squinted then grew bigger as soon as the thought registered. “you’re sunwoo’s girlfriend aren’t you!? the one he always buys this breakfast sandwich for!” the lady said excitedly, wrinkling the corners of her eyes.
sunwoo looked as speechless as you did, perhaps you were as red as each other too.
the lady smiled so big you didn’t have it in you to burst her bubble, so you just pulled your lips in a warm smile as you bobbed your head slightly. “he always did get me my breakfast sandwich,” you responded as an agreement to the sandwich part, glossing over the girlfriend bit.
“what a sweetheart you have here, kindness in love goes a long way!” she said with the same level of excitement as she turned to sunwoo and talking once more, “and you have got a girl so pretty! how did a clumsy sunwoo score such a lady!?”
sunwoo only laughed in embarrassment as he scratched the back of his head. the mood was lighter and you laughed with him too. he didn’t look at you but he played along ignoring the statement that made him blush, instead clearing his throat before speaking to you, “you can take a sit now i’ll take care of it.”
not wanting to protest, you only nodded your head and smiled once more at the lady before pulling yourself out of the counter. you chose a table just next to the window and settled your bag on it, with sunwoo following not so long after.
he slipped into the chair opposite to yours quietly but spoke eventually, “i’m sorry about that,” he chuckled awkwardly. “i knew her since i moved here for work and she suspected the extra sandwich i was buying with my usual order was for a girl,” sunwoo laughed at the memory.
rushing through the streets, sunwoo held his leather bag in his left hand before he got to the front of the sandwich shop near the corner of his apartment, pushing the door with his right hand. the old lady recognized him, he’s been a regular since around three months ago— right when he moved to the area.
just as sunwoo approached the counter, the lady beat her to it and asked, “your usual in 5 minutes?”
he laughed lightly answering, “yes, please. but with the regular sandwich too minus the pickles and tomato.” he says as he pulls some cash out of his wallet. this was when the lady noticed it, of the three months sunwoo’s been a regular, the last three weeks of his order included an extra sandwich on some days.
she couldn’t stop her tongue when she asked, “so your girlfriend doesn’t like pickles and tomatoes?” sunwoo was quite shocked, but he liked what he heard.
you were both new to the company but you came a bit later, resulting in the two of you working on some stuff together and sticking together during lunch breaks, having not much friends from the older employees. sunwoo found you so easy to be with. and quite frankly, you could say the same. you talked about a lot of things, especially anime. but besides your similar interests, sunwoo also learned about the absence of breakfast in your daily routine having such a shit sleep schedule that you wake up late and miss the time to prepare or buy anything to eat most days, if not every single day.
so one morning when he was getting his sandwich, he decides to buy two to give you the other one. he ‘accidentally’ ordered two so you got to eat it now because one was enough for him and it would’ve gotten stale if he keeps it for lunch. you do anyway, but you fish out the pickles and tomatoes before doing so. sunwoo mentally took note of the abandoned bits of vegetables and ordered one without them the following day.
you didn’t really think much of it then, just glad sunwoo was generous enough to share his food with you. sunwoo, on the other hand, was relieved. he wouldn’t really know how to explain if you ask him why he gets you breakfast.
claiming the paperbag containing the sandwiches, sunwoo thanked the old lady for always getting them done in 5 minutes. “oh don’t worry there’s not much customers anyway. you go now, you lovebirds have a nice day,” she grinned warmly.
it has become his routine since then, the lady’s too, that he had completely forgotten about the assumption she made months ago.
you intently watched sunwoo as he spoke of the memory so fondly. “i would’ve warned you about it but it slipped my mind, i didn’t really explain anything to her and just let her think of it like that, i’m so sorry,” he finished.
“no, no problem at all, it’s fine!” you answered wavering your hand in quite a panic, not wanting to make sunwoo feel bad.
you really didn’t want to sadden that lady with the information that you two, in fact, were not dating. but admittedly, being called that made your heart flutter. oh, who were you kidding? anything sunwoo did— anything related to sunwoo, made your heart flutter.
the lady was right, he was such a sweetheart. always so mindful when he was teaching you about the work stuff he learned about some months earlier than you, accompanying you to non-work events (who knew sunwoo would join you to a sticker convention), sending you tiktok edits of your favorite movies, looking after sickly you in your apartment, making sure he's got an extra hair tie in case you lose yours— the list could go on but it’s that sandwich that you look forward to most days.
upon having this surge of realization, you felt your cheeks heat up as you spoke shyly, “i mean, it wouldn’t be so bad, would it?”
sunwoo only looked at you surprisingly with his eyes looking even bigger than they already do, but he also looked confused as his brows raised and furrowed quickly as if he was figuring a puzzle out. his head jumbled with words to form whatever question was meant to be asked in a situation as such, which he had never been in. did you mean what you said? did it mean you felt the same way he did?
his brain was racked with so much thoughts that before he got to ask what you meant, the old lady had already dinged the bell, calling for sunwoo’s name instead of his order number. blinking away the moment, "hold on," sunwoo said as he quickly stood from his seat quite wobbly before approaching the counter.
you would’ve laughed at his clumsiness but you had to mentally scold yourself first, what did you just say? were you even ready for this? well, you’ll never be ready to face something this big anyway, not something as big as your feelings that caught you in those moments with sunwoo you wished would last a bit— a lot, longer. they crept up the very first time sunwoo bursted out laughing at a joke you made, it was this warmth that spread across your chest that made you realize that besides seeing him happy, you also liked making him happy.
oh this isn’t good. what a waste of friendship would it be if sunwoo found your feelings ridiculous, you would much rather choke to death instead of being rejected and having your friendship ruined.
maybe you’re over reacting, but what’s a girl got to do when she accidentally confesses?
you were so into your own thoughts that you didn’t realize sunwoo was slowing his walking still trying to absrob what you said. did you mean, it wouldn’t be.. so bad.. being his? sunwoo has always been gentle with you when talking about things in a serious light, but he didn’t find this time a good time to be slow, maybe he should just go for it?
you felt like you held your breathe until sunwoo came back, carefully placing your coffee and sandwich in front of you and his meal on his side. sunwoo's sat in front of you again wiping the pair of fork and bread knife with a napkin before handing them to you. you only quietly said "thank you," as you reached for them when he spoke.
"so you liked that, huh?"
looking up with your mouth agape, you were horrified. sunwoo had a smirk and his eyes twinkled with something that tells you this day was going to be about more than a friendly breakfast date, this one was a hole you both have been digging.
deobi writers help me i cant remember this sunwoo fluff/smut where the reader broke up with her cheater bf in his apartment but sunwoo was like next door and she hid there when she ran out of her ex’s but then things ended up steamy because they were classmates and sunwoo liked her...........
there was this mention of a ‘your name’ keychain (?) i cant remember the title nor the writer 😭
the chatter that filled the restaurant remained to be the only noise keeping the two of you from being deafened by the silence. it’s been quite a few minutes since your conversation about your universities died down that you went back to cutting and chewing whatever was served on the plates in front of you.
it was awkward as hell.
you couldn’t even tell if he liked you, though you are already sure he's felt you’re not interested at all. it wasn’t even your idea to spend a friday night like this in the first place. it was kevin’s. he was nice enough to set you up on a date, because apparently 5 months is long enough to be sitting around and mopping about an ex.
well you did miss that ex. a lot. you’d really rather spend tonight rewatching ‘your name’ just so you could have an excuse of a sad movie to cry— when you know the true reason for your tears is the person who introduced that movie to you as his favorite.
you went on this date just so kevin could shut up about this dude who, according to him, was a great guy. admittedly, he was. he happened to be impressive too. despite the short conversation you managed to engage in, you found out about how he wanted to live his life after college. but that wasn’t enough to get you hooked. you thought it was grand that he plays golf as a hobby, but it didn’t make your heart melt like it did when a certain someone told you about his song writing hobby.
damn, sunwoo still got you wrapped around his finger. at first you couldn’t figure out why. you were thinking back to your high school exes who you despised immediately after the breakup. you kept wondering why you just cannot find any hatred in you towards sunwoo ‘til you realized it was probably because no one’s at fault for your ending.
you did love him, and sunwoo loved you just as much.
it was the external forces that drove you both vulnerable and sensitive, that it became too much to handle. to be fair, you both were college students working your own part-time jobs. things really did get hellish when you two argue without enough sleep and excessive caffeine intake, plus a pile of paperwork to finish. it wasn’t as easy as it was when you started dating around your senior year in high school. that was what you would define as sunshine, and rainbows, and butterflies.
you hated that your mind kept wandering back to sunwoo. it didn’t help too that you two happened to have gone here for a date before, back when it was rainbows and butterflies.
“why do we even have to eat out? we could’ve just ordered takeout and binged on movies,” you said jokingly.
“don’t you like this?” sunwoo asked in a pout. he wanted to a date different than what you always did and you know he prepared so much for this. you rarely go out on fancy dates because you guys are used to literally just hanging out, cuddling while watching a movie, playing games, and such. it’s always a date if it’s only the two of you.
“i’m just kidding sunwoo i love this,” you answered with a smile. sunwoo smiled back taking your hand in his on the table before speaking, “you know what, we should keep going to restaurants like this. i like seeing you all dolled up.”
his comment made you blush and hide a smile threatening to reach your ears. you tried to hide it by acting mad and saying, “so you mean to tell me you only like to see me when i’m dolled up?”
“dolled up or not, sleepy, or naked, you’re always a beaute to look at,” this got you even more flustered than his first remark that you could only respond with a gentle slap on his forearm to which he laughed at. there were little protests here and there about some stuff being a little too expensive, but you nonetheless appreciated the whole night sunwoo had so wearingly prepared.
“y/n? y/n?” your date waved his hand in front of you. it was only then it registered in your head that you’ve been cutting through a tiny piece of meat almost through the plate with your knife.
“oh yeah i’m- i’m sorry i’m not at my best focus right now, did you say something?”
he chuckled lowly, “it’s fine i was just asking if you’re ready to leave anytime soon?”
you’ve been eager to leave even before you got here. hence, you honestly but politely told him you’re actually ready to go, completely ignoring the few strips of food left on your plate and the half-drank wine in your glass. with your answer, he called on the waiter for the bill. he ended up paying for dinner despite your dissent to pay your own.
as you were both walking out the restaurant, you spoke, “i’m sorry this didn’t click well like how it could have,” giving him an apologetic smile.
“it’s totally fine, at least i didn’t have dinner alone tonight," he painfully joked. you had to bite your tongue from laughing a little too loud at the statement, also to stop yourself from saying you actually would have rather spent tonight alone. you did feel bad that you looked like you weren’t trying at all, although at this point you were just grateful he doesn’t hate you as your dated ended.
“well i’ll be going now,” he continued as he approached his car. “are you sure you’re okay going home alone?” he asked once more to confirm. you told him earlier he didn’t have to drive you home. you already felt guilty he paid for your food, so you didn’t want to leech off of him more with a free ride home. besides, you enjoyed late night walks. might as well take one now to clear your head.
you nodded as you answered, “yes i can manage. i’ll probably stop by somewhere to buy stuff.”
“okay then. be careful y/n, goodbye.” he softly remarked rolling his windows up and finally driving away. you could only respond by waving back with a small smile on your face you’ve been trying so hard to keep on the whole night.
the moment his car is out of sight, you immediately feel your shoulders and back lose tension, losing your rehearsed posture too, and just sighing loudly all in all. that took a lot of mind control, to act all nice and chill. the fact that your head kept bringing you back to sunwoo didn’t help too. it just messed you up even more; reminding you that you miss him, that date felt like a chore you wanted to get over with so you could go home and sulk.
who could blame you? sunwoo was the best you’ve had so far and things ended only because of you guys’ ego and pride, not to mention the extra stress that got the best of you. if only that one stupid argument didn’t lead to you telling him to go, and him actually doing it, you would find it in you to laugh at how petty that fight started.
“why are you forcing this y/n? i already told you it’s a group meeting i can’t cancel on them like that,”
“can’t you move it for like a day? you’re just postponing not canceling. it wouldn’t be too much of a delay like that, right?” you whined and insisted.
“look babe, y/n, i don’t know these people, like i told you it was the professor that assigned the group. if they were our friends it’d be easy to have them excuse us for a date, but these people don’t know us so they don’t really give a fuck about us going to watch a movie. why are you acting like a child, really.” sunwoo explained once more rubbing circles in his temple.
“i’m not acting like a child i just hate that you can’t keep a promise you made,” you know it was just a movie but it was a small date you’ve been looking forward to for weeks you considered it your reward for working hard this month. now sunwoo’s ruined it.
“what promise? for god’s sake y/n it wasn’t like a promise of a lifetime it’s literally just a movie,” he spat in annoyance looking at you with a face in disbelief.
you could not hold it anymore, you were tired and frustrated, now angry at your boyfriend that tears started to stain your eyes glossy, “now you’re just being mean,” you stared at him with sad eyes before continuing, “do you even notice you always do this? you keep cancelling on me and you don’t even do anything to make up for it.”
“okay oh god i- i cannot deal with this right now,”
“maybe you should never deal with this ever again if you find it so hard to keep your word,”
he was halfway the apartment to the door when he halted his walking and turned to you, “if you’re taking it that way then i might as well do so too.”
perhaps what hurt you wasn’t that fight that lead to the breakup, but the idea that sunwoo didn’t bother to come back and try to fix things. plus the piled up frustration that you two couldn’t do things a couple does anymore because of your hectic schedule. you had to give up a lot of your time and the drastic changes became overwhelming.
but then again, that could be his exact thoughts too. he was probably just trying his best to be responsible so as to not disappoint anyone, especially you. he was probably just as tired and frustrated.
but you were both so stubborn.
he might have been waiting on you too just as equally long as you’ve been waiting on him. he could be on a date distracted by the thoughts of you too, but you’ll never know because you had such a tight grip on your pride. and so does he.
you debated whether you were to keep sulking while eating at a street food stall alone, or at a convenience store. either way, you will be downing way more bottles of soju you can physically take anyway.
it took a bell ringing from the entrance door of the convenience store to your right to shake you off of your thoughts. you didn’t even realize your feet were taking you there already, mind still on your ex. you lazily walked inside and made a beeline to the chips section. after picking up random snacks that now filled your left arm, you went straight to the alcohol section trying to balance all the unhealthy food you were carrying with your bag hung on your shoulder.
you were aiming to pick up a few bottles and pay straight after, but as if the universe was hearing your thoughts. the man who have been invading it now stood a few steps from you, with the same posture, same shocked face, and almost similar amount of snacks balanced with one arm.
you didn’t know what to do. nor did you even had any idea about what to feel. you missed him of course, you could just throw away the snacks you were holding and have him replace that spot. but you were stubborn. your pride wouldn’t let you do that.
“oh—oh hey, you can go take yours first,” he says awkwardly, taking a step away from the fridge. it shocked you that he spoke first that you flinched the slightest. you didn’t even realize how long you have been staring at each other. “no it’s okay, go ahead you can go first,” you responded quietly, your eyes meeting his for quite a while and then reverting back down on the ground, then looking around the store.
a million things raced in sunwoo’s head at that same moment. he only meant to buy ramen at that time of the night for his first meal today. he didn’t really eat as healthily as he did when he was with you because you were always the one to remind him to eat on time, even prepared food for him. he missed having you drag him away from his paperwork just to have him eat proper food at a proper time. without you, he wasn’t really able to look out for himself. he knew you would be deadass angry if you found out about his habits since you broke up— that is, if you still cared.
that was why he was frozen on his spot when he saw the face he’s been longing to see. truth be told, it wasn’t even a few hours ago since he mentally argued with himself whether to call you or not. he didn’t know if you changed number, but there was a bit of hope in him wishing that you didn’t because you were waiting for his call too. at the same time, he was scared that you’d recognize the number and choose not to answer, that would hurt as hell and he wasn’t ready for that. hence, the reason why he resorted to playing games until it got dark and felt himself hungry.
now you’re facing each other and circuits are just going on and off in sunwoo’s brain. his hand was reaching for a bottle of soju even before he could comprehend how close you were.
he picked up one, and then another. it was dreadfully slow and he’s acting like he’s moving slowly to be careful but it’s really to savor the moment you were the closest to him after months of missing you. you, on the other hand, didn’t even noticed how slowly he was picking up bottles. you were still stunned, trying to quiet down your heart.
“so,” sunwoo spoke out of nowhere which made you look up sharply, not really helping with calming your heart. “were you, uhm— did you, went out with.. somebody?” he continued in a hush, facing your direction again after picking up three bottles.
you had your eyebrows knitted, caught off guard wondering how he knew.
he must have read your thoughts as he spoke again, “oh you don’t need to answer that if you don’t want to it’s just uh— it’s the clothes,” pointing at your dress awkwardly with that one bottle in his hand, “you don’t usually dress up like that for a trip to a convenience store.”
this made you feel lighter, causing your lips to pull in a smile with a chuckle. he likes seeing you dressed up, he would always ask for a million photos everytime you dress up for dates or events. sunwoo wished it was the latter but his mind was telling him it was a date, considering the time. it hurt him to ask but he had to at least know if you’ve got somebody new already. sunwoo thought you were so pretty, well he always did, but it made his stomach twist thinking about you getting all dolled up for a date that isn’t him.
“mmh, i had a date,” you hummed.
there was the answer he was scared to hear. he was expecting it but having it confirmed stung.
“oh, well then, that’s.. good to know, i won’t hold you up then.” he said with a forced smile in panic moving away from his spot in front of the fridge to give way to you.
“no, i’m not with him anymore,” you said making him turn around, “i’m alone now we just ate dinner, i’m actually on my way home.”
“you’re going home alone?” sunwoo asked almost in disbelief. if someone’s gonna take you from him, might as well be someone who’ll take care of you. learning that your date let you go home alone annoyed him. “it’s not like that, it’s— it didn’t really work out it’s just the first date i don’t think there will be a next one,” you laughed as you picked up two bottles of soju, your mind going back to the awkward encounter earlier you couldn’t believe you endured for an hour, even two.
this somehow made the twisting in sunwoo’s stomach stop. even made him forget he was hungry in the first place. at this point, his mind raced even more than it did moments ago when he saw you. his head was telling him two things: either he chickens out, or finally do what he’s been meaning to do.
just as you were closing the fridge, he spoke before he regrets not saying anything.
“would it be weird if i ask you to eat all these, and those,” motioning his not-so-free hand to the food you both were balancing with an arm each, “with me back in my place? or yours?” there was so much hope in his voice. “i mean, i’m sorry that didn’t sound good— i know you’re just coming home from a date, and well, we’re not together but like— just hangout maybe,” he kept rambling on with his mind all over the place trying to look for the right words.
“i missed you too.”
you finally blurted out.
this stopped sunwoo’s talking and got him looking at you straight in the eyes, letting the words sink in within him— his heart. you found the right words.
and it melts him on the spot. it felt like he finally got what he has been waiting for, for the longest time. dumb of him, and you too, to go off of each other and act like you’re looking for something else when you were literally a phone call away to each other.
he could’ve dropped all he had in his arms to hug you but he only kept watching your small smile. no words were spoken. just him looking at you with the truest intentions in his eyes, “let’s go home then.”
you could only nod, trying your best to stop yourself from bawling. what took you two so long to get your head out of your asses?
if one of you had the guts earlier than today, you both could’ve been walking back to your apartment months ago like how you are now. sunwoo missed these streets, just as much as you missed him beside you as you crossed them.
sunwoo’s apartment was closer and you would have opted to go there, but as sunwoo said, “it’s a jungle in there right now, you might want to leave again if you see it.” you could only roll your eyes at his joke but you knew damn well that was true and that’s another thing to fix some other time.
for now, all your attention is set on the man that has been invading your thoughts since ugly months ago. frankly speaking you were still quite hurt, but it felt safe with him next to you, your hand in his, squeezing it tighter than he ever did.
perhaps stubborn love still finds its way back. and maybe you won’t be crying alone to 'your name' tonight, nor be the only one using it as an excuse to cry.
