❛ it’s okay. you can let go. ❜ — seon & byul

" it's not okay, i'm not letting you go! ”

~~

water's always been calming for byul. besides her mother's warm embrace , the sound of waves crashing in the distant is what raised her and she's learned to make a friend out of the ocean.

so she pleads to it now , begs for it to not take away the one person she loves , loves more than life itself , quietly agrees to whatever the cost may be for the safety of her girl. her seon.

byul hangs on with every ounce of strength she has , hangs on by her fingernails while the other hand grips onto seon with no intention of letting go.

~~

ambush !!! was the last thing her co-captain yelled before all went to hell , an unwelcomed crew invading their home and putting everyone's life at risk , taking what's not theirs and killing who's not theirs too. the captain is running , she's running to the aid of anyone she sees desperately fighting for their life , her sword's out and bloodshed is inevitable. they should've known the kind of captain she was. they should've heard the stories of men who are rotting at the bottom of the ocean , men who dared to touch her family , her friends , her girl. her seon.

the captain yells , calls out for her as she drives her sword straight through the enemy , looks around and asks fellow crew if they’ve seen her. clarity on who the her is , no one asks. they know. they know very well of the one byul would get so worked up over , so unbelievably desperate to find... so hopelessly scared to lose.  

an attempt at her life is marginally dodged , the culprit only managing the cut on her arm and not the slit against her throat that he was hoping for.. but she doesn’t care , doesn’t have the time to be scared because the frantic mind and the bleeding heart is already filled up with the thoughts of her girl. her seon. 

hears her own name called out and in an instant , byul is sprinting , follows north to where the voice of the one she was looking for calls to her.. the tip of the ship , the narrow ground where the ship rocks the hardest.. waves , as though sensing the distress , start to panic too and cause the place they stand on to grow unstable. but byul is running to her , stumbling along the way , she’s running to ruin the man that’s currently dared to lay his hands on her girl.. he’s desperately trying to win the fight but seon has never , and will never go easy. she’s a fighter. she’s fierce and braver than byul could ever be. she’s has strength enough for two people.. she’s the one that keeps the captain going. there would be no byul without seon. 

so she runs.

would’ve pierced straight through him , would’ve found peace in the violence because that’d mean that she’d be safe — but her sword’s not in her hand and she has no time to go back. so she lunges at him , arm around his throat showing no signs of holding back as byul pulls him away from the younger before a snap echos and his lifeless body hits the deck. she’s already forgotten about him and moves forward to hold seon in her arms , hugs her tightly and sighs relief for the first time since the ambush. 

they don’t have much time to celebrate , byul’s already frantic again and tells her to go below deck , hide and wait until this is over. 

seon would’ve never left her.  

she’s so stubborn and the captain both loves and hates that about her because there’s no time to argue!! “ seon , please !! just go !!!! ” but it’s too late to do anything. 

the ocean’s her friend but rain and her never saw eye to eye. thunderstorms echo above and winds become more violent by the second , people across the ship finding it difficult to keep their balance but they never stop fighting. someone else charges at the pair but byul manages to grab seon and step aside as they watch the man fall into the ocean , leaving cracks on the railing that inevitably break with one crashing wave. 

after that , it’s not long before the two find themselves hanging off the side of the ship , the main deck slippery with water filling up and the ocean growing furious by the second. byul’s arms hurt from keeping them there and she calls the names of her crew-mates for help , reassures seon that it’s going to be okay and seon , of course , knows her captain inside out , sees the fear in her eyes and the panic in her voice. 

“ it’s okay. you can let go. ”

she speaks so calmly , as if death wasn’t staring her in the face and it makes byul want to cry. she goes on telling her how her crew needs her , how she’s the captain and she’s important. the audacity seon has to think that she’s any less important , she’s way more crucial to the ship if anything. and byul was never going to let go. 

the railing she held onto starts to crack , “ no no no no!!! ” god damn it she’s going to save seon if it’s the last thing she ever does. so she yells , pulls her up with every fibre of her being and as if the skies and seas agree with what she does , someone shows up , the ship’s navigator and dear friend reaches his hand out for seon — byul doesn’t miss the hesitation in her eyes , refusal to be saved first but there isn’t much time and the older nods , a little its okay as she slowly lets go of her once she’s safe. 

now seon’s the one who’s frantic , yelling at the crew to pull the captain up but maybe... saving seon would really be the last thing she ever did. when the railing finally gives way and she falls into the beckoning water that’s asking to be paid for the cost she agreed on , byul just smiles , because at least she’s safe..

her girl. her seon.

skysae for this 🥺

who reaches out to new neighbors

saeri. skye has absolutely no interest in getting to know her neighbors. but, if saeri insists on going over to meet them with a freshly baked pie and a welcoming smile, the artist usually goes along with it. their neighbors definitely like saeri wayyyy more ( how could they not when her girlfriend makes the best apple cobbler in the world )

who remembers to buy healthy food

saeri. just in general, skye is awful at grocery shopping.. she gets impatient and almost always picks up the most random and unnecessary things. isn’t too fussy with food, though so if saeri picked up a “healthy snack”, she wouldn’t think twice about it. although, the one time they were out shopping and saeri was thinking about buying the cauliflower crusted pizza, skye was truly in shock. no way that is ever making it into her system, no other pizza besides true ny style ones, especially not these imposters. 

who remembers to buy junk food

probably skye. she’s still terrible at grocery shopping and junk is easier to shop for so it’s most likely that she brings home grocery bags worth of oreos and candy and chocolate bars and ramyeon. sorry saeri.

who fixes the oven when it breaks

neither? skye’d just call someone and get it fixed. there’s no problem that money can’t solve, she’d say. 

who waters the plants/feeds their pet(s)

saeri. plants would die under the care of skye, for sure. she just.. forgets.. but it definitely gets better over time and only because it means so much to her girlfriend. watching her take care of the plants indefinitely makes skye grow closer to them too and she’d send pictures of them to saeri saying she “gave them their water <3″. when it comes to pets though, skye’s much better ....... only because she has a low maintenance cat that basically feeds itself.

who wakes up earlier

saeri. skye often sleeps till very late, so she ends up waking up late but saeri’s usually up way before and on somedays, skye insists on snuggling close and holding her hostage in bed. doesn’t let her wake up earlier because cuddling is way more important than anything else. but on the days saeri does wake up early, she makes the best breakfast and waits for skye to wake up and the painter is always caught off guard — honestly just can’t believe her luck as she enjoys her girlfriend’s cooking like it’s the greatest meal she’s ever had ( well, apart from ****** ) 

who makes the bed

saeri. she’s way more efficient when it comes to “homely things”. skye used to be more attentive when she was a child but quickly lost habit of that when her mom married rich and she had servants for everything. although , she knows that she can’t just leave all of it to saeri all the time so skye’s learning to put more effort into these kinds of trivial things but it’s no where as pretty as when saeri does it. 

who makes the coffee

neither? skye always just buys the coffee but it’s a rare drink of choice between the both of them. that said, there is a fancy coffee machine in their house that skye would use maybe twice a year. 

who burns breakfast

neither? skye is more likely to though. she doesn’t cook that often but isn’t awful at it at ( nothing compared to her girlfriend’s skills ), but anyone can make eggs, right? well, there was that one time where skye wanted to surprise saeri for her birthday with breakfast in bed and she did end up getting distracted and french toast turned out to be more like burnt toast. but saeri, the wonderful amazing kind person that she is, offered to make breakfast from scratch again and this time, skye was the perfect sous chef, tried not to mess anything up and even stuck a candle into her girlfriend’s stack of toast at the end as she sang for her. 

how do they let each other know they’re leaving the house

skye’s late for classes a lot so most of their goodbye’s are rushed kisses — every time though skye refuses to let go and saeri has to push her out the door. whenever saeri has to leave, skye’s pretty “cool” about it and is just like “oh, okay come back soon babe” but will spend the whole time sulking alone in the house until her girlfriend’s back. 

who brings home little gifts like flowers/chocolates more often

skye maybe? ALTHOUGH , again flowers and chocolates aren’t really their thing? skye will, every once in a while but what she does give saeri more often are drawings or doodles from her day. sometimes they’re of her girlfriend, sometimes they’re of something that reminded her of her and sometimes they’re of pretty flowers because these flowers wouldn’t ever die. 

who picks the movie for movie night

both? movies are just a great excuse to snuggle in close, let’s be honest so skye wouldn’t mind putting on whatever, she isn’t fussy. although , if it’s a cheesy rom-com, the painter will gag or groan or roll her eyes every now and then. but watching her girlfriend watch it is fun enough. 

their favorite kind of movie to watch

skye’s into murder mysteries and thrillers and horror but she knows how saeri isn’t really into that so they end up watching something less intense. but that’s not to say that skye wouldn’t put on a horror every once in a while as an excuse to have her girlfriend snuggle in impossibly close. 

who first suggests a pillow fort

skye. lesser known fact but skye loves pillow forts. she used to make them all the time as a child (and even after) to “get away from it all”, it’d be her fortress of solitude and no one was allowed in. — until saeri. she’d tell her girlfriend about it one day and open up her heart in a way that she’d never before. 

who builds the pillow fort

both! skye might have more experience but it’s wayyy more fun when the two of them do it together. saeri adds her own touches to the fort skye looks at her all smitten and in love because of course her girlfriend is precious enough to join in on this pillow fort adventure. 

who tries to distract the other during the movie

skye because she’s annoying KSJDHFKJ

who is big spoon/little spoon

skye big spoon and saeri little spoon for obvious reasons. but skye will also look for any excuse to lay her head down on saeri’s lap and feel her girlfriend’s fingers run through her hair.

you’re mine.. and i’m yours. — jammin.   @mobiivs

jamie thought she knew what it meant to be happy. she was happy. she faced the ups and downs of life just like anyone did, but.. she did it with a bright smile on her face because jamie thought that being happy meant always having a smile on your face. It’s one of the few things her mother taught her... or well , something she involuntarily picked up. although , she always wondered that just like her mother , was the smile on her face entirely meaningless?

she often wondered that... but not since she met her.

after she met bae somin did jamie realise that she hadn’t even scratched the surface of what it meant to be happy. and not the kind of happy that mom was.. the one that dissipated behind closed doors .. this was the kind of happiness that she’d imagine her mother really wanted to be.

after a while.. the things jamie wondered were far more trivial yet crucial.. what’s somin’s favourite movie? which perfume should she wear that somin’d like? why can’t she stop thinking about her? does somin think about her too? does somin like flowers or chocolates? — will this end soon? ... does somin want it to?

y’know.. skinny love. the first couple of months that make everything a proverbial rose-colored fascination equipped with nothing but happiness in its true sense , surprisingly enough , there’s fear in this happiness too.. or is it excitement? anticipation? who knows.. but it’s exactly the kind of thing jamie imagined never to have. she was okay with that though , not a cynic that choked at the idea of love.. she celebrated it.. when it was in the hands of other people , and she ran away from it whenever it was carefully placed in her own.

so what about somin made everything different? she held this love in her hand and watched the little sapling grow , she nurtured it and watered it and never ran away.

she was fascinated by everything somin did , excited to wake up to her cute little face , anticipated spending the rest of the day with her and even feared losing it all. and jamie hardly ever feared anything — besides spiders of course.

the fear of losing this woman though? it was bigger than every other one. jamie stayed. somin did too. and now the questions were different too.. does somin want to move in together? does somin want to get another dog with her? — probably not, snow takes up enough attention. does somin know how much she loves her? .. does somin love her the same?

old habits die hard and jamie’s “exciting” fear sometimes changes to the scary kind of fear. the one that she hopes never takes over. the one that puts every deliberate thought in her head that somin deserved better , the love in her eyes better placed for someone who wasn’t as incomplete on the inside. sometimes the older woman kisses her like it’s the last time.. desperate as their first kiss was but with a kind of sadness that was more familiar to her than it’s cheerful counterpart.

jamie stops herself from packing her bags about.. two times , nothing significant that triggers these moments.. just a general worry that every high high has a very low low and she imagines that seeing somin in this low would’ve been like living in a world with no sunlight. but somin calls her then , sleep-filled voice that’s as endearing as ever and jamie is helpless in the way she follows it back to bed , holds her and smiles... the real kind.

she still holds this love in her hand and ironically enough.. the day jamie thought of leaving was also the day jamie thought of never leaving.

her many questions soon dissolve into one very important one , will somin say yes?

it’s been weeks that jamie looks at her all different , girlfriend somin starts to look a lot like soon-to-be-wife somin ( hopefully ) and her heart quakes with excitement each time. the night she tells jaehoon and he very excitedly throws a little party and everyone gets drunk and jamie foolishly lets it slip,

“ i’m gonna wife you up one day..”

she meant it more than she’s meant anything said even without the inebriation.

so , the planning begins. the woman who thought she’d never fall in love let alone marry , has a lot to think about. it has to be perfect. the extra hours being put into work that somin often complains about are being put to good use!! jamie’s saving up for the ring she had mentally picked out a long while ago.. perched up in the window of a jewellery store with the spotlight on it.. she knew that it’d only look a million times better sat on somin’s finger. she also knew that every diamond and every gemstone in it was going to be worth the extra office hours — jamie’d work until she’d be able to buy the moon if somin ever asked for it.

the ring felt like an easier part of the ordeal and jamie struggles with the standard of perfection for the rest of the evening that’s unwaveringly hanging above her head , she struggles to grasp it and sighs at every mediocre idea that laughs in her face. “ it has to be perfect, jaehoon. ”

perhaps in paris , on top of the eiffel tower? but that feels like too much.. and far too impersonal... maybe she’ll let it slip one day when they’re wrapped up between bedsheets and somin looks as ethereal as ever , bathed in the resplendent morning glow.. romantic , but that feels like far too less. jaehoon says something about showing up on her doorstep with signs that pop the question and jamie tells him to stop streaming rom-coms.

“ jaehoon , what the heck am i going to do?? this is somin we’re talking about!! you know this has to be perfect.. god has to pull through and help me on this , i need the universe and stars and.... skies... to.. help me... stars.. and skies. ”

what a cliched eureka moment but jamie speeds out of the bar faster than you can say , “ perfect. ”

the night comes sooner than she’d expected... but also , not soon enough. the implicit anticipation that inevitably comes with this moment has jamie vibrating, fixing her jacket , straightening her button down shirt , fixing the bouquet of flowers and taking long deep breaths.

she’d texted her earlier in the day , “ hey baby , how about we hang out on the rooftop tonight? a proper date? ”

it’s inconspicuous enough , a night on the roof often woven into their plans so there wouldn’t have been much suspicion to it. but it was special. this is.. was jamie’s spot , one that only she knew about , a place she felt safe and comforted in before somin’s arms were an option. it was sacred and somin was so far.. the only one welcomed here. jamie let her in in every sense of the , every part of hers was out in the open in the most vulnerable she’d ever been and she’d never felt safer.

but the usually dimly lit space isn’t too recognisable anymore , the amount of flowers that covers the place would take days to clean up, but the way they surround the pathway only made of red roses make it just that beautiful. candles guide the way because this is still ahn jamie and this much of a stereotype is expected. although , it’s the string lights that hold up every captured moment , every picture that lays out their life together in a way that jamie’s speech couldn’t convey that’s her favourite part.

or perhaps it’s the view? it’s the presence of the far and wide that jamie uses to ground herself.— the notion of standing in-between this world and that one that used to scare her , hanging loosely in a sort of purgatory with nothing to tie her anywhere to.. before she met her. now this view reminds her of a little world of her own , they look out to that world together before going back to one that’s theirs. the stars don’t seem as scary now and the world doesn’t feel like it hangs heavy on her shoulders.

somin did that , along with every other wonderful thing. it’s always been her.

“ hey..” it’s quiet , but the world’s quieter , like everyone is waiting with their breath held. somin probably already knows what this is about and that’s definitely a good thing because when jamie looks at her with her ineludible beauty , the holes in her speech pair perfectly with her inability to be coherent for the first few minutes.

“ you look— perfect. ” jamie had to have known that the perfect she was after this whole time , couldn’t have compared to the one standing in front of her. she allows herself to be this cheesy today. “ you always do. ” the older woman extends a hand out , it shivers a little with a kind of nervous that she isn’t used to. but it shivers only to have warmth run it’s course through her body the moment it holds onto hers.

“ i’m going to say all the dumb and cheesy things today , alright? ” she chuckles , “ stuff like, i mean it when i say that i feel like the luckiest person in the whole wide world because i have you, and that waking up to see you every morning is how i want to spend all of mornings, and that there’s no me without you..” she speaks slowly, yet firmly, glinted eyes only meant to convey the sincerity in which she speaks with, along with an opening into her being because she chooses to let her in, to every good and bad and everything in between— jamie wants to share it all. the fear miraculously fading into a warm glow of pink and she smiles.

“ you have been... all that i think about , ever since you walked into my classroom. back then you thought that i didn’t see you but somin.. you’re all that i saw. you still are and you always will be. ” a shudder in voice as jamie takes a deep breath. “ you have given me.. so much. passion and excitement and love... so much love! but.. you’ve taught me how to accept this love.. how to not run away from it. you taught me how to not be scared anymore and for every day for the rest of my life , i will be right here, with you. ” jamie moves in close, hands enveloping her girlfriend’s cheeks and foreheads touching as if this’d help telepathically say everything jamie’s too nervous to say herself. “ right here. ”

“ i love you so much and everyday i’ll love you a little more. because you’re mine and i’m yours.. wholly and completely yours, for forever and more. ” she whispers , doesn’t kiss her yet no matter the natural instinct there is to, because first.. first she pulls away and then she gets down on one knee , reaches for the box in her pocket— just as she rehearsed , and opens it up while her gaze remains fixed on the woman she hoped to call hers forever.

                        “ bae somin , will you.. ” deep breath. “ will you marry me? ”

[calmflames]

jammin domestic ship meme please 🥺

who reaches out to new neighbours

jamie. she's as social as they come and jamie probably knows all the names of their neighbours and greets them whenever they run into anyone. speaking of , after somin moved in with her and they bumped into anyone in the hallway or if she had to go reach out to a newly moved in neighbour , she always proudly introduced her girlfriend.

who remembers to buy healthy food

jamie. shopping for groceries in general is something jamie does and likes to do especially if somin's tagging along , definitely asks somin to get into the shopping cart so she can push her around. also , jamie's been getting into health food more and more these days so convincing somin that a cauliflower crusted pizza tastes really good is like 20 minutes of their shopping time.

who remembers to buy junk food

both. come on , who doesn't love junk food? and the way both of them have the others' favourite snack and ice cream flavour noted down in their heads so they never forget to pick it up! jamie's days become a million times better when somin brings along her all time favourite milkshake from the place near her university when she meets up with jamie later.

who fixes the oven when it breaks

jamie. she's grown up alone and is pretty handy dandy when it comes to fixing things but somin's encouragement is highly needed, she's always there to pass the tools or do a youtube search to help jamie figure out how to fix it without getting electrocuted.

who waters the plants/feeds their pet(s)

both. prior to somin moving in , snow was obviously all of jamie's responsibility and even after , it took some time for somin and snow to get to know each other but now jamie argues that snow loves the younger more now and somin always helps in taking care of and feeding the husky. even though she'll act super jealous of the fact that snow gets cuddles from somin , jamie couldn't be happier about this little family.

who wakes up earlier

jamie. she doesn't sleep that very well to begin with and it has gotten better ever since somin has come by but yet , jamie has the habit of waking up early and going to the gym. not before staying in bed and looking at somin sleep for a bit , the way her chest moves up and down as she breathes almost like a calming morning meditation for her, a gentle kiss on the forehead before she truly gets out of bed.

who makes the bed

somin. since jamie does wake up earlier and is incharge of making breakfast , somin took up the responsibility of making the bed despite jamie telling her not to worry about it. plus , she does a way prettier job than jamie did , the additional throw pillows arranged neatly and everything.

who makes the coffee

both. although it's usually jamie just so that she can make sure that the moment somin wakes up and walks out for breakfast , there's a warm cup of coffee waiting for her. although , when jamie's sleeping in.. somin's up and has the coffee ready to go because she knows it's the first thing jamie'd want... after the morning kiss that is.

who burns breakfast

somin..? okay , no both. jamie pretty much does all the cooking but when somin decides to make breakfast , it's the sweetest thought ever and although the execution is not all there , jamie'd still eat everything like it's the best breakfast she's ever had. and well.. jamie can burn the breakfast too.. when somin walks out wearing nothing but the older's shirt , best believe jamie has a hard time taking her eyes and hands off of her.

how do they let each other know they're leaving the house

leaving the house also known as the hardest thing to do. set aside at least 15 minutes to say their goodbyes because honestly, neither is ready to let the other go so they just whine a little and then cuddle, which probably more often than not turns to something more before they can say their final goodbye and head out.

how do they greet each other when one of them gets home

when jamie walks in through the door, somin has to run to her and leap into her arms and kiss her hi, this always has to happen. or if jamie's home and somin enters, jamie kisses her hi and sometimes gives her flowers for all the hard work and studying she did!!!

who brings home little gifts like flowers/chocolates more often

i'd say both, but honestly jamie's excessive. it's pretty much a part of her daily routine to get something for somin, it could be something as little as a candy bar or a flower to a necklace or pair of shoes that reminded her of somin.

who picks the movie for movie night

somin. jamie's a little indecisive and honestly loves anything besides scary movies so somin can pick whatever she's in the mood for before they snuggle in close. whenever doesn't feel like picking though, jamie'll put on of her childhood favourites and mostly watch somin watch the movie to see how she likes it.

their favorite kind of movie to watch

they usually watch a lot of anything together, sometimes a funny sappy rom-com or, as per jamie's choice, an all out action movie where things blow up because it looks super cool!

who first suggests a pillow fort

neither? or maybe jamie but really it just starts off with.. "i've never ever built a pillow fort.." and now the two have to check this off and see what all the fuss is about.

who builds the pillow fort

jamie definitely gets too into it after a couple of minutes, she wants a structurally sound fort with fairy lights and comfy pillows and and blankets and everything. they spend the night in the fort snuggling together and jamie tells somin something like "i can't wait to spend the rest of my life doing everything with you.."

who tries to distract the other during the movie

it depends. at times jamie really gets into the movie and her attention is pretty undivided and that's when somin demands some of it. she definitely gets it with the way she leans in to whisper in her ear or kiss her neck. jamie's also guilty of distracting somin during the movie, sometimes it's as innocent as talking through the whole thing.. most times it's jamie's hand travelling lower and her lips moving in closer to hers.

who falls asleep first

somin. as mentioned , jamie struggles with falling asleep. but they both struggle when they have to spend the night without the other and usually end up talking through the night or just don't hang up and then get some sleep.

who is big spoon/little spoon

jamie is always big spoon and somin the perfect little spoon that fits in her arms. she'll always be the happiest with her arms wrapped around somin. although , on the rare bad days, jamie wouldn't say much and just snuggle up to somin and quietly ask to held. even on nights jamie really has trouble falling asleep , somin holds her close and jamie falls asleep to the sound of her heart beating.
