Yuna is ready to shuffle towards one end of the room herself, and she’s admittedly surprised when Jonghyun instead takes her hand to lead her there. Her breath quietly hitches at his strong grip; his hand was so big and so easily wrapped around her own and for some reason that makes her heart skip a beat. “Thank you,” she says, polite as ever, and with a bashful smile decorating her lips. 

She straightens out her skirt, wanting to look proper and feel calm before the song starts. She looks over at him, watching for cues, she tells herself, even though in truth she can’t help but be mesmerized by the contours of his face. When the song starts she sings along under her breath, until finally her turn comes up.

Boy I hear you in my dreams I feel your whisper across the sea I keep you with me in my heart You make it easier when life gets hard

Lips are instantly reacting to the sweet sounds that are emitted out of her own pink pair; curling at the ends in endearment while prominent dimples come into place. He watches as she sings calmly, her soft voice echoing out and somehow relaxing at the very first glimpse of it. when her lines finally end, he raises the mic and continues with the song, their shared lines coming up and their voices mixing perfectly in the same smooth tone; his carrying the aura of a man and hers the epitome of a sweet and delicate female. 

Lucky I'm in love with my best friend Lucky to have been where I have been Lucky to be coming home again Ooohh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh They don't know how long it takes Waiting for a love like this Every time we say goodbye I wish we had one more kiss I'll wait for you, I promise you, I will

In between their small duet, the two are already met at the center, Jonghyun’s smile prominent to show just how much he appreciated the sounds they were creating. His eyes remained fixated on her, watching every move to the way her fingers gently held the mic and to the way her eyes would meet his as well; Yuna beamed the epitome of femininity. And that was something that jonghyun appreciated A Lot in a woman.

“Okay.” Yuna’s been ready and feeling warmed up for a while now, and she was all set to follow his lead. “If you think we’re up for it,” she agrees with a nod, smoothing down her sweater right as she slides out of her seat. They were supposed to go on stage soon for a final rehearsal anyway, so it would probably be best to work out any and all kinks in the practice room, just so they don’t take too much time later. 

“Do you want me–” She points to the other end of the room while flashing a questioning look at him, “There?” I go in stage left, right?”

“Yeah if I recall you start on the left side of the stage and I come in from the opposite end. Your cue to walk in is when I’m finishing up the last line in the first verse.” Though he could just let her walk over there alone, he grabs her hand with his strong one and walks over to her end. His steps are slow though because his pace would typically be quicker than hers since she was wearing heels. “So right here you’ll wait.” He pats her hand while he lets go of it and looks off at the empty practice room and then back at here. “I feel good about this though. We did a few run downs in here so let’s just do it like we have been.” He raises both his fists for a ‘fighting’ sign and a proud grin before retreating back to his end before stopping by the cd player. “Ok play music!” He says to himself before walking over to the opposite side of the room. He’s greeted with the opening tune, a soft melody from the familiar song as he takes a couple of steps forward and raises the mic to sing directly into it.

Do you hear me, I’m talking to you Across the water across the deep blue ocean Under the open sky, oh my, baby I’m trying

❝ final rundown.

+ 2014 December ;

Yuna quietly hums to herself as she plays with the keyboard, nothing too serious, just her fingers absentmindedly pressing along the keys as she waits. The rest of her members were out having dinner, or resting–she isn’t even sure. She thinks maybe Jimin is at a practice room down the hall, getting ready for her own collaboration stage. Even during the few times she and Jonghyun had managed to make time for practice in Seoul, it was like this, her early, with him running late. She couldn’t blame him, he was her senior, with an undoubtedly more packed schedule, so she’s used to it. She just waits, patient while singing along to whatever song it is that’s suck in her head.

The melody of her voice is cut short when the door opens and she looks up to find him standing by the door. “Ah, oppa!” She smiles, immediately getting up to bow at him anyway. They’d at least gotten close and comfortable enough now that she easily calls him ‘oppa’ instead of being formal and always referring to him as ‘sunbae’ as she used to do. “Not too long,” she lies, thinking it would be useless to admit she’s been in there for almost an hour already. “We should! Do you need something to drink first, though?”

[hdxjonghyun]

His lips are still curved but that’s probably solely on the fact that he got to hear a glimpse of her voice in what appeared to be a warm up session; still her voice always managed to sound sweet even without trying to sound too much so. The bag slung around his shoulder is referred to as he sets it down atop one of the speakers so he can retrieve a bottle of water that had grown a bit warmer in a short time, but it was sufficient enough for now seeing as he just needed to coat his throat. “I’m all taken care of but I have another bottle if you need some too? It’s a bit warm though.” He takes out the bottle anyway and walks past her and motions her to follow along to where the mics were set up. Grabbing the mic from the stand, he retrieves the other and hands it off to her; even turning it on so she could test her own voice. 

“Should we do the full run through?” He was referring to having him stand on one side of the stage and her at the other so they could meet in the middle during their sweet duet. “It seems best to do so. Just to make sure we’re on the same level timing wise.”

[hdxjonghyun]

“Just down this hall over here?” He has running a lot later than expected for the scheduled rehearsal all because of a call that he had to be excused for. His head is bowing apologetically though at the Japanese staff that’s pointing straight down the hall towards the entrance of the back area of the stage. Long legs are carrying him down the hall as he tries quickening his pace to not let his partner for the duet wait too long. The stage entrance is located just where he was directed to, the large double door opening so he can collect himself and approach the waiting figure which seemed to be testing the volume of the speakers that her sweet voice resonated out of. “Did you wait too long?” He asks without giving her a chance to even know he had arrived. When she turns to look back at him, his initial reaction is to allow his lips to curve in a welcoming but apologetic smile all at the same time. “Sorry for making you wait though. Let’s get started though?”

[byulbams]

and there you were. ( jonghyun & yuna )

[byulbams]

Yuna sings two songs, one after another, and before she knows it her time is up. The crowd is cheering and it feels her with a sense of fulfillment and she smiles, head dipping as she thanks the audience. She had opted to do a cover for her second one, but the first one she had sung—it was a personal, unpolished composition, not even meant for anyone to hear just yet. But it seemed right, just minutes ago, as she sat down to play. “Thank you,” she repeats again, smiling brightly and then once again looking for Jonghyun as she makes her way off the stage.

Her heart is pounding loudly, and she has the strangest urge to kiss him again, right then and there as she passes him on her way up—right, she reminds herself, it was his turn after her. For some reason, most of her earlier worries and reservations had vanished right between the ten or so minutes she had spent performing, and now she was just happy. Happy that he was actually hers, or at least seemingly so, and even happier that he actually seemed to want to do this—whatever this is—with her, child and all.

“Good luck,” she whispers, reaching for his hand to give it a brief squeeze. Sing for me, she almost says, but instead she just gets flushed at the thought; in the end she smiles for encouragement, and shakes her fist as if to cheer him on. She finds a spot near the stage with the best view, not even minding the loud and obvious cheers mostly coming from his adoring female crowd.

[hdxjonghyun]

His eyes were much too focused on her, his smile evident as his stare remained glued onto her. It was obvious to anyone sitting around him that he was all too mesmerized in her performance, and even as her songs ended and she received her much deserved cheers, he still watched her with the same glance. Sitting up finally from his seat, he grabs a hold of his acoustic guitar and goes to meet her halfway towards the stage. The brief squeeze on her part is returned with his own as with a nod he walks past her to get on stage.

There happens to be a mini fan club gathered in the corner because the instant he gets up there he can hear the screams from females who had definitely heard him play before. He takes his seat that was provided and positions the guitar upon his lap and then fixing the height of the microphone stand to accommodate his long stature better. "Hello, I'm Lee Jonghyun - " That alone was enough to get a few more cheers from his gathered fans, as he laughs to reveal the set of dimples. He glances at Yuna, sending her an assuring smile before he starts to play.

He plays an original piece at first, a piece that didn't have any lyrics to it, and Jonghyun sometimes though maybe it didnt need any. The instrumental was beautiful and soft, as he played it expertly so while fingers moved along the neck of the guitar. He plays a few minutes more before the piece slowly transitions into Brown Eyed Souls nothing better, and again he gives Yuna another glance from atop the stage. And he sings, he sings as if there's no one else in the room, because his eyes are fixated at her, and only at her.

[byulbams]

and there you were. ( jonghyun & yuna )

[byulbams]

Despite her reservations, Yuna still finds herself getting lost in the moment, just melting in his hold as their lips brush and barely shift against each other’s. Sighing, she barely notices her name being called out and she’s even a little confused when he pulls away. “What is it—?” She mumbles, her eyes wide with naivete as she looks up at him. “Oh.” She blinks and her eyes shift over towards the stage when he points out it’s her turn—that’s only when she hears her name being called again. Seo Yuna, is she here? the host repeats, all while scouring the room for her.

“Crap,” she mutters, quickly breaking away completely from Jonghyun and trying her best to pat her clothes and hair down, wanting to look presentable and not even minutely flushed from just being confessed to and kissed sweetly by the father of her future child. She makes her way to the platform, politely excusing herself as she navigates through the crowd. She bows at the host, who just greets her with a smile and then she makes way to the keyboard—already set up on the stage as provided by the establishment.

“Good evening.” She greets the crowd demurely, her dimples more obvious than usual as a genuine smile forms on her face. For a second she almost forgets what she’s going to sing—but she doesn’t let it deter her. She sits up proudly and starts to introduce herself, all while her eyes scour the crowd until she finds Jonghyun again and she decides to let her gaze settle on him. “Tonight’s song is an original,” she suddenly finds herself declaring. That hadn’t been the plan—originally she had thought about singing an old Lena Park song. But the switch happens at the last minute, and she just keeps smiling, even as her fingers start to dance over the black and white keys, and she takes a deep breath before starting to sing in the soft and sweet voice of hers.

[hdxjonghyun]

Her reaction once she finally snaps back into reality is all too endearing as Jonghyun moves in to place a firm kiss to her forehead with a sigh following. Watching her as she attempts her best to tossle her short hair back into place, he follows quietly behind her as they break away so she can take the steps to the stage and he could go back to where Yuna was sitting previous, his guitar still there as he imagined it to be. .

Once the cheers took over the venue when she finally introduces herself he watches with a faint smile, feeling a different sensation watching her prepare on stage now. It wasn't his first girlfriend - his earlier twenties had already experienced that, but Yuna really was different, and this feeling was so native to him he had to relish it in the given time. With the lights dimming and the crowd of people settling quietly to let her play, the sound of the piano immediately soothes him as he relaxes against the seat..

Her voice is so sweet - soft and delicate, and Jonghyun swears he's falling all over for her again. It's really  different to see her up on stage. Though Yuna always had this sense of elegance to her, seeing her on the stage doing what she loved was different. He has to sigh to himself, practically mesmerized by her serenading song. In that instant he just wants to pull her close and press her close to his ear so she could sing just for him. She is after all all his now. .

[byulbams]

and there you were. ( jonghyun & yuna )

[byulbams]

She shrugs in response at first, forcing her smile as she looks up at him. She’s nervous more than happy, she realises—how well does she trust him to stay? She wants to believe, and that notion causes her to hold on tightly to his hand. Still, the small smile that spreads on her lips is undeniable when he suddenly mentions her hair. It isn’t until that moment that she realises she’d been a little disappointed when he hadn’t even made any mention of it earlier—it was a little thing, but it made her feel like if he can’t even notice simple things like that, then this—whatever it was—was going to be doomed from the start.

She suddenly feels a little silly now, but she just shrugs, still trying to appear casual and nonchalant even at the compliment. “Thank you,” she answers, always one to be grateful anyway. “I got it—” She never even manages to finish her sentence, and when the music stops and he swoops in to capture her lips with his, it really does feel like everything around her suddenly stops. She relaxes against him, her free hand easily going up to rest on his shoulder for support.

[hdxjonghyun]

He's unable to even describe how he feels at the moment - his shoulder relax under her touch and his lips are gentle as they shift with hers. Kissing and being able to be with Yuna like this was indeed something he missed dearly. Able to just be around her - and now she was going to be his. They were official and she was going to have his baby. It still scared Jonghuyn to no end, but Yuna was worth it. Yuna and happiness with her was the ultimate prize. He doesn't even slide his tongue along hers in the kiss, keeping it as simple and gentle as he possibly could without getting too ahead of himself.

He hears the name being called out vaguely - Next we have Yuna - is what blares out from the speakers and once he makes it out completely he pulls away slowly; keeping his forehead pressed with hers so their gazes can meet. "That's you..you're up" 

[byulbams]

and there you were. ( jonghyun & yuna )

[byulbams]

She immediately looks up at his words, with even the dim lights of the cafe not able to hide the surprise in her eyes. Suddenly he’d gone straight for the jugular and she was at a loss for how to react. “This isn’t just about the child—” She starts, but then she shakes her head. It was funny in a way; for most people, the baby would be the glue, the thing that would lock the guy in. In some ways, it seemed to be the complete opposite for them; Jonghyun, it seemed, wanted to be with her despite being against the idea of going through the pegnancy.

“A-are you sure?” Her voice trembles a little, and her free hand goes to rest on her stomach. “I don’t want you to do this because of the baby—and I don’t want you to do this, despite the baby.” She frowns, suddenly getting a little confused with her own words. “Oppa,” she tries to start again, except her sentence just ends with a sigh. She meets his gaze and she can feel the intensity of the way he was looking at her. He really wants this, she thinks, and suddenly, as she places her hand on his face, thumb gently brushing against his cheek as she tries to study his features—she’s hit with a strange feeling of doubt. Was this what she wanted? To be with him?

“We can try this out, I guess.” The words that leave her tongue mask her inner turmoil; he seemed so sincere, and as always it gets to Yuna. As has been tried and tested, she never really could say no to him.

[hdxjonghyun]

'-I guess' That makes him shudder a bit - his mind not knowing if Yuna was just pretending to not be too sure, or if it was the actual truth. "I'm sure - " He replies, nodding and staying close to hear so that their words were exchanged clearly on top of the fact that his hand can reach up to press at her cheek as it did just that. "It's not just because of the baby. Yuna - how do I get you to believe that I do actually care about you - " It must be difficult for her, or anyone in fact to believe that Jonghyun was ready to settle down with a girl. The idea seemed farfetched - it would even to him; but in that hall with the mood right and yuna staring up at him, his lips broke out into a smile.

"Your haircut looks good by the way - "He randomly adds - noticing it the instant he saw her sitting at her table. It really does compliment her well - whether it be her blonde locks, or this shorter style which was a tint of red. "Suits you - but honestly you always look beautiful - " Sighing softly, he could hear the acoustic guitar stop, cheers and claps following it as in that instant he swoops in to close the gap between their lips. And his lips are gentle as they do so; lips brushing along her soft sweet ones as fingers find the space between hers for a tighter squeeze.

[byulbams]

and there you were. ( jonghyun & yuna )

[byulbams]

Yuna follows Jonghyun to the side of the cafe; not that she’s left with much choice considering the tight grip he has on her hand as he leads the way. Once they’re leaing against the side of the wall though, she feels a lump on her throat and she just stands there awkwardly, her gaze eye alternating between looking at her feet and glancing across the room towards the stage. They do have a lot to talk about, and she has a lot of answers she needed from him—but now that they’d agreed to put it aside until after their performances, she had no idea what to say or do.

“So.” She leans against the wall and casts a glance at thei rintertwined fingers. His hands were rough and calloused—obviously from years of playing the guitar, and some manual work—but she didn’t mind. She actually liked them as such, like they felt experienced. “What have you been up to…?” The words feel awkward, and suddenly she just wants to walk out of the cafe with him, get this all over with—but at the same time, she’d be lying if she said she didn’t want to see him up on the stage.,.

[hdxjonghyun]

Walking hand in hand with her towards the small hallway that was somewhat isolated from the noise, he allows her to situate against the wall as his hand holds onto hers still. His eyes peer down to their entwined fingers and he cant help but add with an affectionate brush to the back of her hand with his thumb before looking up at her. And in that moment, with the lights dim and the slow sound of an acoustic guitar playing in the background, He takes a step close to her; careful to not exactly pin her against the wall but enough so she could feel the heat radiating off his body.

He doesn't even respond to her question; choosing to just get straight to the point while squeezing her hand possessively in his own. "Let's do this...together. Let's have the baby and...let's make us official - " He wants to just kiss her right then and there - but after all a confirmation on her end was needed. He was willing to do it all - everything he had promised in terms of only having eyes for her. He'd do what he could - because after all this was going to be his child - with a woman he did actually care for. "Okay..?"

hdxyunaseo:

  Initially, Yuna flinches as she feels his fingers thread through hers. She looks down at their joined hands, and slowly relaxes in his hold; there was no point resisting. As much as the stubborn part of her kept insisting on it, she also had to admit how tiring it was. “I—” She starts to speak,only to sigh softly as she listens to his voice, almost directly talking into her ear as he leans in. It always was hard to think and see clearly when he was that close. “Oppa…” Her breath hitches when she speaks; the way she calls out to him is unplanned, and her voice is soft, in an almost needy way and it almost makes her blush when she hears herself.

She pulls away from slight embarrassment, glad that the lighting in the cafe is dim, but she keeps her hand in his. “We’re both set to perform soon though,” she points, her eyes wandering towards the direction of the make shift stage set up in front of the cafe. There were still a few performers ahead of her, but she wasn’t sure if they’d have time to discuss what they needed to. Unless— “Have you even finished thinking about things? You didn’t call—I guess you’re not, I can give you more time.” She didn’t really want to give him more time, but there wasn’t really anything she can do short of giving him an ultimatum then and there.

The way her voice sounds is almost soothing to him; even from just such a simple word - but Yuna always had a way of melting him the the delicate and melodious tone she carried. When she pulls away he watches her carefully while still trying to make out what she was saying. He nods at he statement; looking back at the stage and then to her. "You're on before me. We can wait here then and not roam away.." He swallows hard on a dry lump, tasting the burnt taste of the coffee which he feels unlucky from obtaining. "I...thought about things a lot" It's hard to maintain his reputation at this point - smooth and cool Jonghyun was now replaced with an anxious one; but Yuna's outlook on him didn't even matter. This was way more important that.

"I want to talk about it a bit more with you in all honesty. So we can either try and talk over the music or sneak away for a bit." Peering around with light brown eyes, he looks at the small hallway off to the side that led to where the bathrooms were and then looked back at her. "Let's just walk over there. We can hear when our names are called."

[byulbams]

and there you were. ( jonghyun & yuna )

[byulbams]

Yuna is biting her lip, impatient for the bottle water she’d ordered from the counter, and generally just feeling anxious because of Jonghyun, when the said and slides up next to her. She keeps silent, just eyeing him as he orders coffee for himself, and then quickly looking away when he turns to face her.

She opens her mouth to answer his question; of course she knows what she’s going to sing—but then her lips thin out as she closes them again, still unsure if she wants to engage in conversation. It’s getting to her though; she can hear the confusion in his tone and a part of her feels bad. A part of her, the irate and hormonal part, tells her that she shouldn’t. He’d all but left her in the dust after all, not calling or mentioning a word about the baby. But the more he just stood there, looking almost hapless (and that wasn’t a look that was natural to Jonghyun, at least as far as Yuna’s noticed from the last year that they’ve known each other), the more Yuna gives in.

“Wait—” She finally says, hand unconsciously reaching out to tug at his sleeve, as if to stop him from leaving her side like he said he would for the moment. She frowns and takes a caling breathe before speaking again. “Why didn’t you call?”

[hdxjonghyun]

When she doesn't answer his first question, Jonghyun suddenly beings to believe there's no hope for him at this point. Waiting as long as he did was a tad much, and Jongyun at this point wasn't blaming anyone beside himself. Perhaps he wasn't cut out for this. As much as he wanted Yuna to himself, perhaps he just wasn't fit to take care of her the way he needed. Seeing as how he was messing up prior to even being more with her.

But another part of him wants to keep fighting, but before he knows it he already makes it known that he was ready to walk away. Perhaps join his other friends who he normally seemed to hang with during these things. But he had gone to her first. Upon hearing her soft voice draw him back in, Jonghyun's brow raises at her question. A sigh is present as instinct tells him to reach for her. Her hand specifically. It was always perfect how his worked and calloused hands grabbed onto her feminine ones; and whenever she responded to that he could feel himself ease. He steps closer so he doesnt have to scream over the music. "I said I had to think about it - Yuna this is hard you know." Turning to look behind him, he takes note of who was performing, knowing Yuna still had a while before she was going to be called up. Turning back to Yuna, he leans in to talk into her ear over the singing blaring through the speakers. "Do you want to find somewhere else to talk about this at?"

BOICE Camp LINE Video Message~

[byulbams]

and there you were. ( jonghyun & yuna )

[byulbams]

She thinks it’s funny he should say that—let’s have a good time tonight. That’s what she came there for, to relax and have fun, but with him added into the mix, it just made her nervous and somewhat irate. The more she thought about it, the more frustrated she got; was he really going to just sit there, make small talk, greet her like there wasn’t that proverbial elephant in the room?! A part of her wishes he’d just be a complete jackass and ignore her completely; at least that way she can be full on angry, no confusion. But he wasn’t, he was being sweet and nice, just half an asshole who seemed to be avoiding what they should really be discussing. He does say they should talk later, but that just makes Yuna feel even more sick. The anticipation of another confusing and circular discussion about her pregnancy just had her stomach getting all knotted up.

“I—” She opens her mouth to answer him, but no sound comes out. She touches her fingers to her neck, cringing because her throat feels dry. When she picks up her cup of tea, she realises that it’s empty—it’s like he arrives and everything starts to go wrong for her, she thinks. “I’m thirsty,” she croaks out, standing up so she can head over to the counter and order some more.

[hdxjonghyun]

Instantly he stands up to follow her, trusting to leave his guitar bag there and he zips between people to not block their view from the performance going on. She didn't really respond to his remark which led Jonghyun to believe she was a bit upset at him. Or just anxious for that matter. Catching up to her at the counter, he orders a coffee for himself. Caffeine was going to be much needed for tonight he thinks as he turns to face her to strike conversation again. "Do you know what you're going to sing..." And again, such a nonchalant question to ask. 

He was just too confused. Not knowing what to say, or if he should even be attached to her side throughout this. Her expression and body language said else wise and it was emotionally draining him. He just had to do what was right - be a man and aim to be with the woman he truly liked, despite having a baby be brought into his life. A sigh is presently sweeping past his lips as he chooses to just put it off for now. He'd talk to her eventually. "Hey..Should I just leave you alone for now? We can talk later, but if you rather have me sit elsewhere, I can do that."

[byulbams]

and there you were. ( jonghyun & yuna )

[byulbams]

The way other people, girls mostly, cling to and throw themselves at Jonghyun—it’s not lost on Yuna. It makes her cringe, and she has to admit that it gives her a certain sting, but she just looks away. It’s not something she can control, and not something she should blame him for, but it leaves a bitter taste in her mouth anyway. It reminds her—what was that saying again? About a tiger being unable to change his stripes; this obviously applied to Jonghyun ad it was useless to ask him to do it for her.

She has no idea what he’s decided, but seeing as days has passed and there has been mostly radio silence (and Yuna doesn’t count the birthday greeting, because it felt empty without a follow-up, and no mention of the child, or their status, or anything about them at all) from him. It didn’t feel or look too good, and for a brief second she even considered running away. It wouldn’t be any good running into each other here now. The last time Yuna had gone to a open mic to perform, she had fainted for a brief second and that was without the pressure or nerves of having Lee Jonghyun around in the crowd.

It’s too late to do anything about it though, as before she knows it that familiar honey-dipped tone is saying a greeting to her. She thinks it’s to her anyway, and that momentary doubt has her looking around to check if there might be anyone in he direct vicinity that he might be saying hey too, but so far, there’s no one and so she finally looks up to meet his eyes. “Hey.” Her own voice initially comes out as a nervous squeak, which makes her sip on her tear briefly before speaking up again. “I didn’t know you’d be here tonight.” Her words felt stupid and empty, considering this isn’t the first time they’ve run across each other in this particular cafe, especially considering the night’s events, but that’s what comes out of her mouth anyway.

[hdxjonghyun]

Her response at his greeting isn't all too welcoming ; her tone is dry and her eyes not all too bright. Though he guesses he couldn't expect much more seeing as how he never got back to her. Truth of the mater - he was still undecided. That didn't make it right though - for him to not say anything to her anyway apart from the birthday text. He glances around, noticing the crowd clap along as someone takes the stage. Taking the opportunity as everyone settled in their seats, he sets his guitar case down and then sits next to her. 

"I'm going on right after you - " He states to start somewhat of a conversation. One thing Jonghyun admired so much about Yuna was her musical ability. When they had first, the two had obviously had attraction and clicked when the mention of the same hometown came up. Even more-so when the two began discuss music; both of them enjoyed to sing - she loved the piano, he loved the guitar. It all seemed to perfect now that he thinks about it. It makes him chuckle a bit at the thought. He remembers even when he first heard her sing, at an open mic just like today. Her voice was so soft and delicate, and quite literally caused him to shudder the instant she started to play for the crowd. 

The singing blaring from the speaker makes it a little difficult to hear each other - unless he leaned in close, and he did just that; hand cupping at his mouth to make his voice echo a bit so she can hear better. "Let's just have a good time tonight? We can talk over things later..?"

                                            :   hdxjonghyun

Yuna just fiddles with the pendant that’s hanging on her neck as she watches the people around the cafe. It’s a normal week night, and despite it not yet being the weekend, a sizeable crowd is milling around, mostly because of the weekly open mic events that happened to fall on Thursdays. She’s already signed up—eighth on the list, so quite far along the night still, and she’s just hanging around, drinking her tea while waiting for the programme to start.

She’s humming along to the tune playing in the background—not live yet, but blasting through the speakers, when she happens to glance towards the direction of the entrance. The lighting in the cafe is a bit dim, perfect for a seemingly warm ambience, but it doesn’t really help Yuna out when she tries to identify the familiar figure that steps into the cafe. “Shit." The profanity easily slips her tongue, and her brows crease with concern. She can feel her heart beating loudly, nervously—she still couldn’t really make out his face, but she’d know that build and body from a mile away.

She keeps staring; it would make sense for him to be here as well. They had similar dreams, and similar means of approaching those said dreams. It’s why they were both in Hongdae after all, and it was a large part of why they got along so well to begin with. When his head turns, she quickly turns anyway—she’s not sure how ready she is to face him. She had given him time to himself to think things over, and one, curt birthday greeting aside, they haven’t really spoken since she had let him know that he was going to be a young father.

It all seems like a regular night for Jonghyun as he makes his way into the cafe, immediately greeting the familiar faces that had been circled in a corner. Pats on the shoulder along with a few hugs here and there were exchanged. He got a few glances from a specific female whom he eventually just greeted with a hug; but her arms clung around him as her lips kissed at the collar of his leather jacket in an attempt to get his neck. He laughs it off as he pulls away, mouthing something to her before walking away to leave her stumped. Jonghyun had still managed to talk to girls here and there - but ever since his meeting with Yuna, sleeping with them hasn't been an option.

After greetings and acquiring beer in it's bottle he makes his way to the sign up table where he greets the person in charge; a girl with bright eyes who greets him with a large smile. Small conversation is exchanged as he looks down to the sheet to fill his name on the 9th line before something caught his eyes. Seo Yuna was written in neat handwriting, causing him to blink at first while filling out his name. Standing up straight he gives the cafe a 360 look around, and sure enough there she was. Looking beautiful as ever with her tea in hand and legs crossed in her seat. 

He has to sigh; admiring her for a bit as she doesn't even bother to look his way. It had been a few days since the two had spoken apart from his text - and Jonghyun had done lots of thinking which he reminisced in his head as he walked over towards her. Flattening out the bottom of his vneck shirt from under her jacket he takes steps closer until he's standing off to the side of the couch and gets her attention with a wave of his hand. "Hey - "

“Whether or notI have feelings too…” She sighs, frustrated. She’s confused now at what she wants to say, even more so under the scrutiny of his gaze. “I like you too. I feel for you. Is that what you want to hear?” She lifts her chin, forcing herself to match his stare once again. It really shouldn’t matter though, she thinks. At least she doesn’t think it should—like Ara had said, just because he deserved to know about his child, and even if he decided to be in the child’s life, it didn’t mean they were going to end up together.

Shouldn’t it work the other way as well? Just because he had feelings for her, and she returned them, it didn’t mean he wanted or needed to be in the baby’s life. But Yuna can’t have that—she can’t have anyone in her life who was unsure, especially not if she was going to be a good mother to her future child.

“You’re not ready for this, and you don’t know if you want this.” She gestures her hand, motioning between the two of them as she speaks. “And now there’s a child that’s going to be involved, and I don’t want us to esent each other when things get more complicated in the future.”

Its all too much - he has to hold himself back though, the urge to pull her close growing. But he cant afford to feel rejection again, and he can pretty much sense her next step if he were to do that. Its almost as if thats the only thing he knows how to do -seeing as how it worked so much in the past. It's something he'd have to learn from.

Letting go of her hands he nods, and slowly at that before stepping to the side to finally give her room to walk out the door. His face is somewhat twisted as thoughts fill his head; causing his gaze to falter and instead look at his rug. "We'll sleep on this then..Get home safe...actually, message me when you get home?" Reaching for the doorknob he finally opens the door wide so she can make her way out of his apartment.
