―PAIRING: jeong jaehyun x f!reader
―GENRE: university/college au, break-up au, angst, romance/light fluff
―WARNINGS: time line jumps, suggestive content, alcohol/drinking, light on plot/heavy on atmosphere, general angst, probably some innaccurate depictions of law school lol [finalised warnings on finished fic]
―ANTICIPATED WORD COUNT: 14k [approximately]
―EXPECTED RELEASE DATE: august 1st
―SUMMARY: you've had your whole life planned out since you were a child. every move calculated accordingly to achieve the goals you had mapped out on your timeline. jaehyun was never part of that plan. but when you meet him at a halloween party in your first year of university, it becomes incresingly harder to ignore his influence on your emotional landscape
―AUTHOR'S NOTE: i've had this story in the works since early 2021 and could never fully lay it to rest. it has finally been completed and heavily overhauled from it's original iteration. i dont know whats left of nctblr at this point, or if anyone really reads for them these days, but i had to see this one through for my own sanity
March 12th, Junior Year
Half-asleep, Jaehyun intertwines his fingers with yours. He tugs you closer to his side in bed, sheen of sweat over your bare bodies shining in the lights that filter in through his open window. You stare up at the ceiling, gaze unfocused, and let your mind wander. Your thoughts twist around each other before flowing outwards and escaping the confines of the apartment walls that surround you. Dancing away into the night air. You let them go—let them surge forward as your conciousness trails behind.
Jaehyun sighs into your side, drifting deeper into sleep, and you follow your thoughts as they weave through campus. They bathe in the white glow of the full moon hung heavy in the sky. They sparkle with the mischief that daydreams so often do, teasing you forward with the all of the hopes that they promise. Beckoning you closer. Asking you to step outside of yourself, to leave the present moment, and wrap your attention around them. Focus shifting to the future.
You see yourself, years from now—maybe 5, maybe 10—walking barefoot across the hardwood floor of the New York apartment you’ve been manifesting since you were 13. It had materialized, a pin in your mental vision board, over afternoons spent sitting on your mom’s couch, binge watching HGTV and reading Architectural Digest. Forbes 30 Under 30 list splayed out on the cushions next to you even as your teeth still ached with the tightness of the braces the dentist had convinced your parents you needed.
Row upon row of leatherbound volumes line the shelves of your office—designed especially for your future self. Richly stained walnut furniture contrasted by soft white walls. The air is crisp with the scent of mint and spruce. An assertive combination inteded to enliven the senses and clear the air of the staleness of time. A booming law practice in the city—criminal prosecution. Defending the word of law. From those who would seek to silence it and for those without a voice to defend themselves.
Your parents teased you about it for years. Every time it was your turn to pick a Friday night movie, they knew it could only be one of three choices: Philadelphia, The Rainmaker, or Legally Blonde (when you were in the mood for something light).
For your 14th birthday they got you a miniature gavel. For your 15th, a novelty Law & Order t-shirt emblazoned with Rafael Barba’s face. For your 16th birthday they finally accepted how serious you were about your future and got you the selection of books you had been asking for for every previous birthday.
For them, this dream of your was always something they half-expected you would abandon. Likely to change your mind as soon as you got out into the ‘real world', or started branching out socially. Dating, new friends, new hobbies. After all, don't most teenagers go through phases? Changing their minds at the drop of a hat as they develop their tastes and inclinations.
For you though it had never been an abstract. Never anything other than an absolute certainty just waiting to come to fruition. You were occupied daily with it. Goals to achieve, targets to meet, data to collect. A future as solid and unwavering as the mattress beneath you. Propping you up as you moved forward with all the determination that reaching that goal required of you.
Every move had been calculated, every step had been leading you to this future version of yourself. Your life in the heart of the city, at the heart of justice.
Every move—save one.
―AUTHOR'S NOTE; PART DEUX: still finalizing editing the bulk of it and filling out some of the scenes, but it is otherwise ready for release and will likely be posted on the date above barring some horrible accident or divine intervention. if you're reading this, thank you. i hope you enjoy
NCT 127 7th Full Album 'BLINGY' consists of nine tracks that capture the distinctive identity that only NCT 127 can deliver. Through this release, NCT 127 reflects on the journey they've built together over the past decade while expressing their deep pride in the team. Grounded in the unity of "One Team," the album also conveys their determination to continue forging their own brilliant path in the years ahead.
meeting jaehyun only happens by chance. by running into him during late night corner store snack runs, and slowly developing... something.
it goes from eyeing each other in the foggy glass off the ice cream freezer, keeping a safe distance while you take turns picking a treat. then, most times, he disappears into the night by the time you're done paying.
he figures out your favourite snacks over time, waiting for you in the glow of the 24/7 neon sign blinking tirelessly above the entrance.
he's not much of a talker at first, only silently offering a different crinkly bag each night. it's not in friendship territory, maybe something adjacent. it's a silent deal, one where you don't learn his name for the first month of sitting on the curbside and sharing a bag of candy. he holds it out for you, the back of his hand briefly grazing your thigh before he carefully retreats.
tonight, it's a family size bag of peach rings.
you bump your knee against his, and he repeats the gesture with a smile on his lips. the dimples on his cheeks deepen, and his eyes mirror the moon's crescent shape in the sky, twinkling even in the orange light of a street lamp above.
you wonder if he's even prettier in daylight.
it's silent for another beat, before he presses his knee back against yours. you don't miss the way something flashes in his eyes, and his cheeks along with the tips of his ears, turn pink.
the bag falls from his hand, landing in front of your feet, and the peach rings spill on the concrete. his hand, now empty, is warm against your cheek, cradling your face as he leans closer. his lips are soft against yours, gentle but impatient as he kisses you again and again.
