៚ SYNOPSIS — after graduating highschool then going through your first break up, you're left to lean on your bestfriend for support before moving to america. returning home brings back memories, realizing your true feelings for each other back then, but is it too late?
៚ NOTES — AHHHH IM SORRY THE FIRST CHAPTER HAS A WRITTEN PART ..less than 2k wordsss not bad. i hope there's no errors, i proofread it so many times that i think i have it all memorized omg
once you finished taking pictures with all your other friends and finding your favorite teachers to give one final thanks, you make your way back to the front of the venue
keeping an eye out for jeongin, wanting to see him in his cap and gown again but he is nowhere to be found.
"yn!!! someone yells, bringing you back to the world around you. it's eunseok, waving at you, standing next to his car with chaeryeong already in the passenger seat.
whenever it was just you four, even if it was his car that you guys were taking, eunseok always chose to sit next to you.
it was just more comfortable that way, and was the most convenient since chaeryeong liked having the aux while you and eunseok make conversation, leaving sungchan in the driver's seat.
being on the road with them was never a boring time, no matter the distance. you would blast music, sing and laugh, it was times like this that you wished could last forever.
"oh this place really is nice," sungchan says, pulling into a parking spot at the restaurant eunseok picked the week prior.
"it has really good reviews, didn't see a single bad one" eunseok said, you could almost hear the grin on his face as he went around the car to open your door for you.
he has always done nice gestures like this for you, even when you guys were younger, eunseok has always been a gentleman.
so you smile back at him in appreciation as he closes the door, following you inside with the others.
as soon as you walk in, the waiter sits the four of you at a round table closer to the window, a spot where you can see the entire restaurant.
when the food arrived, you guys wasted no time, and dug right in. you all decided to order shareable platters rather than your own individual plates to get a taste of everything they had.
after a while you started to slow down on eating because you were too busy talking, laughing and recalling memories that were made during highschool.
having so much fun that you almost forgot the most important thing,
the one topic you've been dreading bringing back up with your closest friends, the reason why you wish graduation was still years away.
"guys, i don't want to ruin the mood but we have to talk about it," you say, making eye contact with the three people who have always been there for you. the ones who you found comfort in when you needed it the most.
nothing has scared you more than the thought of them not being one call away. not being able to just sleep something off because you knew they would be there the next day to walk you through it.
"i'm leaving next week and-,"
"oh my god.." sungchan cuts you off. "no way” he says with his mouth now slightly open.
“is that jeongin?" chaeryeong says, looking past you, in the same direction sungchan is. squinting her eyes as if she's trying to focus her vision.
"it can't be, he's with fam-" you say, turning around to see who they could have possibly mistaken for your boyfriend, quickly being cut off again but this time by your own shock.
it is jeongin. he is here, right in front of you.. in front of all these people, holding another girl's hand at a table for two. but he's supposed to be spending time with family
"..unbelievable" eunseok says, placing his hand on your shoulder and looking at you, basically examining your face. trying to figure out what exactly you're going to do next.
after a few minutes of trying to find excuses for what he could be doing here with someone else, you finally stand up. you were going to yell at him, tell him off for lying to you, but then he looked at you. doing a double take, you could see his smile drop when he realized it was you who was staring at him.
making eye contact with him makes you feel sick to your stomach. the feelings hit you all at once and without even thinking, you run out of the restaurant, crashing against a wall around the corner making eunseok run after you.
jeongin quickly stands up out of habit to check up on you, but the girl he's with grabs his hand, stopping him from going anywhere..
with chaeryeong and sungchan still inside, they take it upon themselves to go up to the couple and embarrass them for embarrassing you,
but all they did was yell.
"HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO HER??" chaeryeong shouts. "THREE YEARS TOGETHER AND YOU DO THIS,"
she could go on and on about how you don't deserve this and how she can't believe he did so well to convince you guys that he was a good guy.
sungchan pulls out some money onto the table to pay for the meal, rushing to stand up so he could pull chaeryeong away before she said anything she might end up regretting later. ".. after everything she's done for you, you had to do this? and of all days, you pick graduation to ditch her..." with one last deep breath, sungchan quietly shouts while walking out, taking chaeryeong with him
and when they finally got out of there, you and eunseok were already in the two front seats of the car, ready to leave.
arriving back at sungchan's place, he puts his hand up for eunseok to shake before he takes his stuff and leaves. "i'm going to get picked up here, you guys go ahead and go home." chaeryeong says, waving you two goodbye as she gets out of the car with sungchan.
the ride to your house was silent, but it wasn't an awkward silence. it was the kind when someone knows you need some quiet to think but you can still feel their concern.
"are you going to be okay?" he says, breaking the long silence while pulling into his own driveway and looking at you.
"do you wanna come in?" he asks again trying to get some sort of response from you but all you can do is nod. "let's get inside then, yeah?" he turns the car off and goes to help you get out of the car too.
his house has always brought you some kind of security. if something ever went wrong, you'd just have to come here for a few hours then suddenly you're better and you forget everything that was troubling you.
being too lazy to walk next door to your house to get a fresh set of comfy clothing, eunseok lends you some of his own. a hoodie and the only pair of shorts he has that have a jaw string so it could fit you properly.
after a while, you decided to put on a movie while he makes you a small snack to eat while watching since you didn't really get to finish your food at the restaurant.
"thank you for always letting me come over eunseok," you look at him from where you're sitting. "thank you for always taking care of me like this, you know you don't have to."
"i do it because i want to." he says, finishing up what he's doing and makes his way to you
taking a seat next to you on the couch. “oh i love this part,” eunseok says as he starts humming along to the movie that the two of you agreed on.
well, not really. trolls has always been the go to movie when you guys needed to put something on the tv quickly. and luckily for him, you enjoyed the trolls movies almost as much as he did.
while snacking and quietly watching him sing the songs word for word but still carefully watching the tv like it's his first time seeing the movie, you start to doze off. noticing this, eunseok slowly gets up to turn off the tv and grabs a blanket to cover you with, trying not to wake you.
when he was sure that you're comfortable, he makes his way to his room and gets ready for bed.
