Gryffindor!MyungJaehyun drabble
thinking about Gryffindor!MyungJaehyun. belonging to a long deep ancestry of renowned wizards and witches. popular and adored by those around him, the star pupil who aces every test he's been given, the seeker whose quidditch match nobody dares to miss, high expectations from the adults who stare lasers into his back to ensure he won’t ever mess up. a life that had already been set in stone for him, and for as long as he knew, this was okay.Â
because for jaehyun, this is all he’s ever known. the star pupil who lights up every room he supposedly walks in. the one whose smile is rumoured to be utterly contagious, filling the tables with laughter the moment he opens his mouth to spill another joke, the one whose always seen to be surrounded by the girls who flock to his charisma and boys who have grown to admire his demeanour.
but as the jokes die down, and those by the gryffindor dinner table begin to disperse into their own conversations. he lets himself peer over to the slytherin dinner table to catch a glimpse of you. because whenever you're in his line of sight, and your eyes meet, he finds himself letting out a deep breath he didn't realise he was ever holding in.
the same couldn't be said for you though. born into a family where your father was a pureblood who fell in love with your muggle born mother, you had no clue about the wizardry world until you reached the age of 15. your fathers family constantly reminded him of their utter disappointment, where as for you, they refuse to acknowledge your existence. because acknowledging your existence meant admitting their pureblood family was no longer pure.
safe to say, you did not come to hogwarts to do anything other than to prove yourself, your worth, your existence.
so it doesn't help when the so called go lucky golden boy follows you around like a puppy trying to get to know you, purposely finding the closest seat next to you whilst studying, flashing his so called charming smile whenever you locked eyes. it doesn't help that the one who everyone sets their eyes on in all of hogwarts has supposedly set his eyes on you. it doesn't help when whispers fill the air, warning jaehyun of your dark past and to not get involved. reminding him he has a duty to fulfil, that he cannot just simply do as he pleases, especially not with you. it doesn't help when you try absolutely everything in your power to push him away.
it doesn't help when one night, after the last train leaves for christmas break, where the two of you are out in the cold with your boots buried deep into the snow. jaehyun breaks for the first time. for the first time his back is turned away from you, and all you can see is the slight shake of his hunched shoulders as he lets out silent cries. his knees constantly trying to buckle beneath him, his fists clenching so hard as his nails dug into his hands you could've sworn you saw blood.
without a thought, your arms run to engulf his unstable figure, face pressing into his large coat as you hold him as tightly as you could, praying that your feelings could translate through your actions.
"don't." he mutters out in between his sobs.
"don't do this to me" he sucks in a deep breath before continuing, "don't make me think that i have a chance when i don't. because i don't think i can handle anymore of this."
it doesn't help when you suddenly feel the salty aftertaste of tears between your lips, letting out a shaky breath as you eye the fog that escapes from your mouth that disperses into the cold air. for once, like jaehyun, you allowed your tears to fall.
it certainly doesn't help, when you are finally aware of the soul that lies within your heart that ignites when you're with him. it doesn't help when you realise it's breaking.
i hope you guys like this small drabble i just came up with!! if you want it to be a full story, i have been thinking of making one so your words will definitely encourage me <33
