pairing: choi jongho x reader / famous!reader
a/n: part two of the jongho “fever” mini series! enjoy!
“how do these look on me?”
you turned around to face jongho with the ugliest pair of sunglasses he’s ever seen but somehow you made them look like they were fresh off the runway.
“those look like shit, but you make them work.”
the gasp you let out as you smacked his arm and playfully lectured him about how someone in this universe worked hard on designing those sunglasses caused jongho to laugh, but wrap an arm around you and give you a side hug.
both of you discovered a small shop as you were talking a walk after getting breakfast at a local bakery. it was the type of shop to sell any and everything you could think of. although you didn’t have intentions to purchase anything, it didn’t hurt to just look around and somehow make this impromptu shopping trip an exciting memory for you two.
“hey lovely, do you like these?” you asked jongho as you tugged on his sleeve lightly over to where you were standing.
he looked at the assortment of handmade beaded bracelets you were looking at and saw you were holding two gray ones, one with a key and the other with a heart.
as much as jongho didn’t like the typical cheesy couple things that you sometimes pulled both of you into, he couldn’t help but love the idea of having just a small part of your relationship with him at all times. these bracelets were simple enough to be layered with the other accessories the stylists choose for the members to wear so he could even have a small reminder of you on stage with him too.
“yeah, we should get them.” he blurted out.
you looked at him with bewilderment in your eyes and immediately held the back of your hand against his forehead.
“should we get you back to the hotel? maybe we’ve been out on our adventure longer than we should be because you’re suggesting we get couple bracelets.” you stated.
jongho flattened his lips into a straight line as he blushed and took the bracelets from your hand, walking towards the counter to pay for them. you were hot on his tail as you let out a small laugh and wrapped your arms around his waist from behind.
“it’s okay, applehead, i know you love me so much.”
you and jongho were driving around mindlessly at this point with no intentions of actually going to one specific place. you stopped at a fast food drive thru to get food for the road then have been on the road for a while now.
you opened your mouth for him to feed you some of your food, only to have him shove a handful of fries in.
“fungho, whuff tha fuck!” you managed to muffle-yell through the abundance of fries that were gracefully hanging out.
he laughed at how you still managed to semi-audibly curse him out even with a bunch of food shoved into your mouth, but he still reached over to pull some fries out and feed them to you properly.
“and you were the one calling me a brat, damn.” you said with a huff and dramatic eye roll.
“um excuse me babe, but you were the one about to drive off without me! you were planning on leaving me in the dust!” jongho playfully argued back.
“okay, but even if i was to drive off without you, i would’ve turned around in five seconds to get you because i’d never leave you behind, bub!”
the playful banter between the two of you continued as you drove passed the mass of open fields and trees, following path of the sunset.
once the food you two ordered was finished, all the trash was squished into the takeout bag that came with the food and abandoned in the backseat. comfortable silence settled between the two of you as you listened to jongho softly hum along to the music playing through the car stereo.
“so do you know what’s next after this?” you asked out of the blue.
jongho chuckled and turned to face you, “aren’t you the one that’s supposed to know that since you’re the one that’s driving?”
you rolled your eyes as a small pained smile made its way onto your lips.
“i’m not talking about the drive, jongho.”
he sighed and shrugged his shoulders. he knew exactly what you were talking about but he didn’t want to talk about it yet. not now at least. not when the two of you were enjoying your time together and living life like a normal couple despite your lives being anything but normal.
“we’re making it work, baby. don’t worry. we’ll be able to be together again when we go back home and have nothing on our schedules.” he made an attempt to reassure you.
the slightly strained chuckle that left you caused him to fully divert his attention towards you and watch as your eyes grew slightly glossy.
“you know i’m going to be here for another two months while you and the members head to europe for the next month. then you’ll be back in seoul for a while and i’ll probably be back in seoul too but about a week for a few tapings before i’m on the road again and headed to australia.” you said to him.
the once comfortable silence shifted to just silence. jongho let out a breath before wiping at the one tear that slipped out from the corner of your eye.
“don’t worry about it. i know dating while we’re both busy with our own schedules is complicated, but at least we have times where we’re able to cross paths and be together. it’s what helps strengthen our relationship, love.”
as much as it hurt your heart that in a few hours you’ll be dropping jongho back off at his hotel only for him to get on another flight to another city miles away from you, you just had to accept that once again, the two of you will have to leave each other with another bittersweet goodbye until next time.
“i guess you’re right. we’ll just have to continue to make the most of our time together now before it’s too late.” you vowed.
“isn’t that what’s been happening this entire time or was it just me?” jongho faked offense.
you rolled your eyes and softly smacked his arm. the two of you laughed as this was just how your relationship worked. even though your schedules constantly clashed with one another, whenever you had time to spend together, you were able to witness a side that was put aside for the two of you to see only.
