summary:
he said goodbye without saying anything.
now, years later, he’s standing in front of you again—famous, tired, and soaked from the rain.
but even with all the silence between you, part of you still wants to ask:
“did you ever think of me?”
a/n: idk what’s wrong with me but this literally fell out of my chest at 2:43am and I haven’t known peace since. Like why do they always come back when you’ve almost moved on?? anyway. If this hurts, good. That’s the point. drink water or cry more idk <33
title: “don’t say you missed me now.”
⋆｡ﾟ☁︎｡⋆｡ ﾟ☾ ﾟ｡⋆
✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧
The rain had been falling for hours.
Not hard—just steady enough to blur the edges of everything.
You were the only one in the diner.
Same booth. Same cheap coffee. Same half-lit neon sign buzzing by the window. It was like nothing had changed in this town.
Until the bell above the door rang.
You didn’t look up right away. But something in your chest pulled tight.
And then you heard it—
A breath. Familiar, shaky.
“Hey,” a voice said.
Your stomach dropped.
You knew that voice.
Of course you did.
You looked up.
He was standing there in a black hoodie, soaked to the skin, curls wet and sticking to his forehead. His eyes were the same—dark, soft, tired.
Jungkook.
You didn’t say anything. Just stared.
He took a step closer.
“Didn’t think you’d be here,” he said, voice low.
You blinked. “You really think I’d be anywhere else?”
He looked down, like he didn’t know what to say to that.
You went back to staring at your coffee. “Why are you here, Jungkook?”
“I needed to get away,” he said. “I thought about this place. Thought about you.”
That made you laugh—just once, dry. “Now you remember.”
“I always remembered.”
“No, you didn’t.”
He exhaled through his nose. “I didn’t know how to come back.”
“Funny,” you said, “you didn’t struggle when you left.”
That shut him up.
He slid into the booth across from you. Hesitant. Careful.
You didn’t stop him.
“You cut your hair,” he said.
“You got tattoos.”
You both went quiet again.
He glanced out the window. “I drove past your house earlier. Your mom still has those wind chimes on the porch.”
“She likes the sound,” you muttered.
“I used to hate them,” he said, smiling a little. “They were always so loud when we were trying to sneak out.”
You didn’t smile back.
“You shouldn’t be here.”
“I know.”
You studied his face. He looked older. Thinner. Sadder, maybe. Not like the boy who used to throw rocks at your window or sneak you snacks during study sessions.
“I watched every video,” you said quietly. “Every concert. Every interview. Just to see if you’d mention this place. Me.”
He looked up.
“But you never did,” you finished.
His voice cracked. “I couldn’t.”
“Why not?”
“Because I missed it too much. I missed you too much. And if I said your name out loud, it would’ve made it real.”
You swallowed hard. Looked away.
The silence stretched.
“I’m sorry,” he said.
You shook your head. “No, you’re not. You’re just guilty.”
“That too,” he admitted.
You leaned back. Crossed your arms. “You know I used to wait for you?”
He nodded slowly.
“Every time I heard a car, I thought—maybe it’s him,” you whispered. “Maybe he came back.”
“I wanted to,” he said, barely audible. “But the longer I stayed away, the harder it got. I didn’t know how to face you.”
“You don’t get to disappear and then act like the victim.”
“I’m not,” he said quickly. “I just—I missed my best friend.”
“You left your best friend.”
He went quiet.
And then he whispered, “I know.”
You looked at him again.
Really looked.
He was shivering a little. His hoodie clung to his skin. His hands were red from the cold.
“Do you want to dry off?” you asked, before you could stop yourself.
His eyes widened a bit, surprised. “Are you serious?”
You sighed. “You’ll get sick.”
So you stood up. Tossed a few bills on the table.
He followed without a word.
⸻
The walk to your house was quiet.
When you reached the porch, he paused.
“You sure?” he asked.
You didn’t answer. Just opened the door.
He stepped inside like he’d done a hundred times before.
It felt wrong how natural it was.
You handed him a towel. He dried his hair, rubbing at it like a kid again.
“Thanks,” he mumbled.
You sat on the couch. Pulled your knees up. Watched him.
He looked around the room. Eyes landing on the old framed photo near the TV. It was the two of you at the lake—sunburnt, smiling, barefoot.
“I forgot we even had that picture,” he said.
“I didn’t.”
He sat down a few feet away from you.
Neither of you said anything for a long time.
Then, softly:
“Did you ever hate me?”
You glanced over. “Sometimes.”
He nodded. Like he deserved it.
“But I also kept wishing you’d walk through that door again.”
You didn’t know why you said it. But you did.
He didn’t answer right away.
“I never stopped caring about you,” he said finally. “Not for a second.”
You stared at him. At the way his hands clenched in his lap. At the way his eyes shimmered.
“I don’t know what you want me to say,” you admitted.
“Nothing,” he whispered. “I just wanted to see you. One more time.”
You hesitated. Then asked:
“Is this a one-night thing? A stop before the next city?”
He didn’t lie.
“Yeah.”
You nodded.
Then, quietly: “Can you stay until the rain stops?”
He looked at you like you’d just handed him something sacred.
“Yeah,” he said, voice soft. “I can do that.”
And maybe that’s all you needed.
Not forever.
Just one more night.
With the boy who once knew every version of you.
Even if tomorrow, he’d be gone again.
⸻
a/n: i’m still really new to writing on here, so if you’ve read all the way to the end—thank you.
this means a lot to me, and even though english isn’t my first language, i’m trying my best to let the feelings come through anyway.
i know it’s not perfect—i’m not a professional author, just a girl with too many thoughts and a heart that holds on too tightly sometimes.
i’m still learning, and i’m always open to kind & respectful feedback if there’s something i can do better.
i just hope… something in this made you feel something. even for a second. even quietly.

NEED TO SHARE THIS HERE... A few days ago Korean cookie run fandom was buzzing because 3 chs of an official cookie run webtoon had been uploaded... the pages have since been taken down (there's speculation that they might've been released too early by mistake??) BUT someone archived them so they can still be read!! And I did a (rough) english translation of all 3 chapters!!! (it was fun🥺 pls enjoy)
(Link to Ch 1) (Link to Ch 2) (Link to Ch 3)
CH 1:
note: Roguefort cookie's name in Korean(괴도맛 쿠키) is literally Phantom Thief(mysterious thief) flavor Cookie, and this 괴도 is the same thing Kaito Kid from Detective Conan is called (괴도 키드)

huhuhu...
(clink/jangle)
🌶:Yep, I really am a genius.
🌶: uhaha! instead of robbing a bank, it's much faster and easier to just rob bank-robbers, ya know~!
🌶:With this, my bounty will go up another level...
(chattering)
🌶: what, what's going on? (suddenly)
Reporter: As for Roguefort cookie's previously announced target, a 60 carat Yellow Diamond:
This jewel has been passed down from the Golden Cheese Kingdom for generations, and is said to be a symbol of good fortune, bringing(lit: wishing for) prosperity and longevity to the nation.
🌶: (Hmm, that's a puny gem.)
The jewel's owner adds that they will compensate the cookie who captures Roguefort Cookie, a payment of 1,000,000 coins as a reward to whoever captures this phantom thief...
(jolt)🌶: (A million coins?!)
🌶: (Then Roguefort cookie's bounty is higher than mine, isn't it!!) (1000000 vs 700000)
🌶: (THAT'S UNACCEPTABLE!!)
🌶: (I'll have the pride of a thief and steal it first!!)
(Title:) Who is the best thief?
Ep 1: Who is the best thief?
-That night
(footsteps)
🌶: WAIT, YOU THERE! (suddenly)
🌶: I heard the yellow diamond was at this mansion. Know where it is?
butler: (EEP) ch, chili pepper cookie?!
butler: This is a very tightly guarded place, How in the world did you get in?
🌶: Psh, this is mere child's play to me. (lit: chewing gum)
butler: I'm calling the guards/security.
🌶: ......
🌶: What are you doing? Roguefort Cookie. (pause)
Roguefort🧀: A sloppy disguise, I suppose.
Roguefort🧀: ...How did you know?
🌶: A thief's intuition?
🧀: Haha... how interesting.
To think you'd see through my disguise. (riiip)
🧀: Then I guess you're also aware that I have the jewel with me.
🌶: WHAT?!
🌶: HAND IT OVER RIGHT NOW!
GHH! (whish) (whish)
🧀: I wonder if you can catch me?
I am the best phantom thief who has never been caught to this day, after all~ ^^
🌶: Don't make me laugh, I'M the best!!
🧀: (heh) If so...
🧀: How about we admit that the cookie who steals this jewel is the best thief? (sparkle)
🌶: Heh, think I won't be able to snatch it from ya?
🌶: You'll end up regretting this.
🧀: We shall see.
WAIT!
!!! (pause)
(🌶) You?! Cheesecake Cookie?!
🌶: This place is your mansion too?;; (Just how many mansions do you have?!)
🧀: How did you know we were here?
Cheesecake🧀🍰: With all this terrible noise you've been making, wouldn't it be weirder to not know~?
Cheesecake🧀🍰: Apparently, it seems like you want to distinguish who is the best thief between you, but...
🧀🍰: Haven't you two already stolen all the decent treasures anyway?
Try stealing something a bit more difficult~
🌶&🧀: more difficult?
(grin) 🧀🍰That's right. If you're a real thief...
🧀🍰: How about trying to steal someone's heart?
🌶&🧀: !!!

cheesecake🧀🍰: How about trying to steal someone's heart?
🌶: someone's... whuh?
RF🧀: Heart. someone's heart.
🌶: What's so great about stealing someone's heart?
🧀🍰: Stealing something tangible is too easy~
Why, don't think you can do it?
(frantically/fiercely) 🌶: WHADDYA MEAN!!
🧀🍰: And you, Roguefort?^^
RF🧀: (Heh) ...Seems like it'll be interesting. Though stealing someone's heart is also too easy for me...
🧀🍰: huhu~ Good, good!
🧀🍰: Then make sure both of you come back here at the same time again tomorrow!
I'll explain the details then~
(slide)
🌶: ...an invitation to a ball?
(creak/screech/squeal)
(footsteps)
🌶: (Where's Cheesecake?)
🧀🍰: Oh my~ Welcome, Chili!
🌶: What about Roguefort?
🧀🍰: Roguefort already arrived first and got started~ (hoho~)
🌶: WHAT?!
🌶: They beat me to it?! I gotta start quickly too, who's my target!?

🧀🍰: It suits you well~
🧀🍰: Here, take this.
🌶: What's this? ??
🌶: A mask?
🧀🍰: Tonight is a masquerade ball, you see.
🧀🍰: Your target is wearing a cat mask.
Between the two of you, the cookie who wins their favor first will win.
🌶: How would we prove that we won their favor?
🧀🍰: You just have to receive and bring back one of their things as proof/indication of winning. (You musn't steal it!)
🧀🍰: I already told Roguefort the same thing, so you should probably get going right away?
🌶: (WHAT?!) YOU SHOULD'VE SAID THAT EARLIER!
🌶: (A cat mask she said... where in the world are you?)
🍮iii: Can't I hold that for a sec?
🧙: No.
🍮iii: just once~!
🧙: No-!!!
🌶: Excuse me...
🌶: By any chance, have you seen a cookie wearing a cat mask around here?

Please go on ahead! (lit: go and come back)

🌶: (Dammit, I can't just leave Roguefort alone like this though-!!)
🌶: At this rate, I'm gonna lose..!
🍓: U-um, excuse me, by any chance...

🌶: To be honest, I don't really know how to dance. Today is my first ball, ya see.

🐱: Yes, sounds good. (footsteps)
🍓: Whew~
🍓: I had fun, thank you so much!
🌶: Me too! (hahaha)
🌶: (Gasp) (This isn't the time for that!)

🌶: The garden?
(dashing footsteps)
🥂: Roguefort Cookie came to tonight's ball? They're not trying to steal something, by any chance...? (That was Chili Pepper Cookie just now, right?)
🥛: Ah, I heard they're doing a bet with Chili Pepper Cookie.
🥛: I encountered them while I was changing clothes... they really did disguise themself perfectly!
Literally what even is that last addition you reblogged 😮💨
"okay but imagine one of the kids in the new cast realise that they are bi or wants to change their gender when they grow up.
Because they are 10 or 11 right now and they may not even know what it is.
And one thing I guess us as Potterheads have made clear is that we love the story, the characters, the world - not you.
We don't support you even if you think you do so there's no need for self-importance."
That's fucking incomprehensible,
Ok, no, gonna give myself psychic damage and try to interpret this.
"okay but imagine one of the kids in the new cast realise that they are bi or wants to change their gender when they grow up. Because they are 10 or 11 right now and they may not even know what it is." Decent enough point, and I sincerely hope they're out of Rowling's clutches if any of them come to that conclusion.
"And one thing I guess us as Potterheads have made clear is that we love the story, the characters, the world - not you."
Oh no, hp fan 🤢 massive red flag. "We love the story, the characters, the world - not you" said with a completely straight face 🤮 I might actually barf irl, just a warning.
Anyway, what I'm getting from this is that this HP fan is saying they don't care about the kids in the show? Is that it?? The most bad-faith reading would be that they're warning about what would happen if one of the kids did happen to come out, that the fandom would utterly eviscerate them.
Ok, so.... that's been said.
"We don't support you even if you think you do so there's no need for self-importance"
ok, so this last line in particular is definitely a reference to the reblog above, which I will paste here for reference:
"Two, boy howdy, I wish she cared enough so I could see the look on her face when she realizes that a child who grew up on her books and adored them with her life just so happens to now my a transgender man currently writing this post"
I can't quite tell if this means the person who made this addition still likes hp (I would sincerely hope not, out of solidarity with their own community if nothing else), but the person who's reply I am attempting to dissect, once again, responded with this:
"We don't support you even if you think you do so there's no need for self-importance"
I'm actually not sure if there's another way to read this that isn't transphobia, either to the kids in the show or @authorsgospel, and this last line definitely cements this.
In conclusion, hp fan @potterheadlovespotter is transphobic - fork found in kitchen.
But I have other questions; why did @bihexualandferal reblog this and *not* put some of their pent-up anger to good use ripping potterheadlovespotter a new one? Why are they so glaringly silent on this, when they have reblogged trans positivity in the past? It's literally the one thing I gave them credit for, why are they now reblogging this transphobia and staying silent on it? Anti-Rowling community, I bring this to your attention.
