[songfic] still falling for you.

cast. park jinyoung x kwon nayoung [original character] genre [rated]. romance, songfic, ficlet might be a part of my Reply 2014 Scenario.

❝ This love is never growing old You make it new And, I’m still falling for you.❞ Ellie Goulding’s Still Falling For You

 Future. 2021.

“Jinyoung-ah, you got an offer to be a guest in this show.” Choi Seunghyun, a male with bulk body posture came — approaching Jinyoung who just rested in the van. That dark haired young man had just finished a photo shoot. He stayed still, arms both crossed over his broad chest as he closed his eyes — not giving his manager a response.

“Ah, hyung. Can I take a look it later? I’m really tired.” he murmured, almost sounded like a sleep talking. Seunghyun nodded, knew that his artist didn’t have enough sleep time due to his tight schedule.

“Hmm, alright. Just rest.”

  Jinyoung had just finished showering. After dressed up in his navy plaid pajamas, he then walked to his work table. Found the proposal and scripts that he hasn’t read before. He then grabbed his eyeglasses from the table’s drawer, started to sort down which scripts and proposal that he’d like to take.

Minutes by minutes had passed, he had read two proposal and one movie drama scripts. But nothing attracted him yet. He was about to take a CF proposal when he saw a talk show proposal. He knew that show, but he wasn’t sure that he’d fit into that show because he knew he was lacking in variety skills. He was about to put the proposal along with the rejected proposal and scripts when he saw that name.

“Creative Writing Team... Kwon Nayoung?” he blinked several times, adjusting his glasses as he took a look at the name again — closely and more clear. It is Kwon Nayoung.

He noticed the change of his heartbeat as he spoke her name out loud. “Seolma.. uri Nayoung-noona?” and with that, the memory of a certain long-haired girl with bright smile played in his mind.

Dressing in his ‘work’ attire; navy shirt, brown long coat, and black jeans, Jinyoung walked into the studio. He greeted everyone politely meanwhile his manager tailed behind him, eyes studying Jinyoung. He still didn’t understand how a Park Jinyoung chose an unusual project — which is agreed to be a guest on this talk show.

Jinyoung eyes shifted quickly to one person and another, he tried to find a familiar face that he missed. A certain short girl with a rounded face and a bright smile. Thinking of her smile made him smile as well.

Then, he found her. At first, he wasn’t sure because that girl had short hair. But as soon he got closed to her who was talking with her fellow colleague, he knew she was her because of her voice. And the same sweet scent of raspberry vanilla strengthened his deduction.

“Nayoung-noona?” Jinyoung called — tested the name that he hadn’t called for years. Her half ponytail bounced gently as she turned around and facing him — showing her rounded face and clueless eyes to him. Jinyoung noticed how her colleague gasped a little, maybe finding his presence amusing. But he didn’t care, all he cared was the short female in front of him.

“Eoh! Park Jinyoung? Whoa—long time no see.” There was a small pause before she recognized him, scanning his handsome face and playing with her memory. And there was it, a bright smile that he missed. The smile which comforted him in his devastating days.

A chuckle escaped from his lips as he nodded. “Noona too. Eoh, you’ve cut your hair.” Of course, he’d noticed small details about her. His last memory of her was the crying version of herself. A twenty years-old version of long-haired Nayoung who cried because he had to leave his hometown — and her.

“Ah.. yes. My hair has been this short since I’m working.”

A gentle smile curled on his corner lips as he heard her remark. Wonder what he missed for four years. “You still look great.” Jinyoung said in genuine — but maybe a bit biased because in his eyes ; she’d always look great. His fingers twitched as he saw her smiling, eager to touch her rounded cheeks and maybe landed a soft kiss on her rosy lips. But no, he needed to save that thought for himself - just like how he hid his feeling for her years ago.

“Thanks. You too. I mean — I barely recognized you because you look so handsome.” Don’t. He knew his mind tried to warn him about this unplanned choice. But he couldn’t control his body — not even his ears which already flushed in light red hues just because of her compliment. He looked at her eyes, tried to gather his courage as he knew that he might have that chance now. Maybe she would start seeing him as a man now, not as her little neighbor anymore.  

“Ah, really? Would you date me then?” he asked, trying to give her a hint by his hopeful tone.

“Of course! You’re handsome, kind, smart. Who wouldn’t date you?” but again, he knew that she couldn’t catch his intention because she still saw him as her little neighbor. A friend of her step-brother.

Jinyoung sighed — then unconsciously murmured, “You’re still not taking my question seriously.”

“Huh?”

Quickly, he shook his head. Distracted her by asking her doing. “Nothing. So, how are you noona? How’s—“

“Nayoung-ah.” His question was interrupted by another male’s voice. Calling her with such affection that he wished he could do to her one day. He followed Nayoung’s eyes, found another familiar face that he thought would never make an appearance in his life. That man.

“Oh, oppa! You’ve arrived?”

“Oppa?” Jinyoung’s brows curled, frowned upon the nickname as many thoughts slipped in his mind. Oppa? Weren’t they a stranger before? He didn’t look like an oppa to her. Are they keep in contact for these four years? How—

“Mark, do you remember Jinyoung? Jinyoung this is Mark. You know—the homeless boy that I told you back then. Turned out he’s not a homeless boy.” Slowly, Jinyoung shifted back his attention to her — caught a moment where she slipped her slender arm into that-so-called-Mark. Then it clicked! The matching rings on their respective right hand, the happy smile which bloomed on each other’s face, and the love aura that they emitted for their surroundings.

“Oh, and he’s my fiancé.”

This song is a time capsule for me. Just listening to it reminds me of my summer in Korea. I heard this song played everywhere at the cafes and stores, because at that time It's Okay, That's Love was a popular drama showing. The three songs I heard a lot was It's Okay It's Love by Davichi, Best Luck by Exo's Chen, and Some by Soyu & Jungigmo.

I remember the warm summer nights. I remember the rain. I remember the lights, the sights, the sounds.

One of my last few memories in Korea was me sitting at Zoo Coffee, studying for my drug calculation test, listening to this song non-stop. And look, time flies by so fast because I am about to take my last final.

I am in love with you, can’t you see my heart? Please don’t go far away because my tears are about to fall

I am waiting for you I’m at the same spot, at the same place Just like how spring comes after the winter (with you)

Feelings rush over me like waves Tears fall like the star light It crushes into my heart

Why don’t you love me? (Why?) Why are you in my head? (Love you) I can’t say anything but (I don’t wanna cry)

The green roof in front of my house Are you living there? All night, I’m staring at that house

I am in love with you, can’t you see my heart? Please don’t go far away because my tears are about to fall

The coat you always wore, the worn out, brown ruler The bus that goes home, the restaurant you always went to These are all memories of you, I remember you

The indie songs that played in your favorite bar Your old sweater, your red scarf These are all memories of you, you know?

Like finding shelter when it rains Like resting when things get hard I would always protect you from behind (with you)

It’s already past evening The world silently closes its eyes Only I have insomnia because of you

Am I the only deserted island? Or did I set up a prison in my heart? This is too cruel to be a punishment for love I hate my heart I know it love is pain

The crumpled up letter in my blue coat It’s my true heart that I couldn’t tell you In my lonely empty room, I confess alone on this sad night I love you

I am in love with you, can’t you see my heart? Please don’t go far away because my tears are about to fall

Tonight I wanna cry oh lady tell me why On this sleepless and lonely night

Tonight I wanna cry oh lady tell me why A lonely night at thoughts of you

Reply 2014

Reply 1997 & Reply 1994 to me is what others would consider The Wonder Years or Growing Pains to be of significance in their lives. Stories that flashback to a familiar time long ago where you didn't know the answer to life's questions at that moment. Back then, the past was the present, you did not know what to expect, but when you look back the answers have been revealed with time, therefore the title is "Reply, 1997", also known as "Answer me, 1997" .

Right now, my life is like that right now. There's seriously so many questions I have that are in the process of receiving a reply. Questions that are transitioning questions. Questions that once are answered will transform me from child into a full-fledge adult. Questions that  ask "What are you going to do with your life?" or Questions like "Who will you marry?" or even questions about the type of person you want to become or the type of person you are. You find out these things with time.

One thing I need to work on is being a more honest friend that does not mean harm or do harm to others.  I'm thankful that I was able to talk about it with someone and receive their input.. And sometimes you need that third eye to help spot you and give you godly advice on how to handle the situation. I figured out that I wanted to be a true friend to few friend I do have, and often times its hard to do it in the flesh. But with God's grace, I can be that friend that sticketh closer to a brother.

Other things that continuously need work is my confidence. I know it's a "cultural" thing. I'm Asian, and often times I do find it hard to be assertive like my Caucasian counterparts. I have so many regrets with the close of Nursing School. Regrets like, "Why I didn't try hard enough" or "Why didn't harvest a passion for it?" Is it because my personality just doesn't allow me to excel in school? (I'm looking at you Myers-Briggs, you told me I was an ISFP). Anyways, my confidence is just something I can't get over. I feel like I  am able to with God's grace and presence in my life.  But often times, I'm not there spiritually. It's all mental I believe, and it's a never ending cycle.

My dad tell me, "Why are you like that, Joan? Do you know how many people would kill to be in your position, and here you are being ungrateful."  I'm almost done, and if I were to drop out last minute you could argue that I have a personality disorder.

When I go into Nursing, it's going to be hard. It's so uncertain that I'll get a job. It's so uncertain where I'll end up. I might end up being unreasonable and do my own thing. But most times, no matter unhappy I am, I don't give up because it's a matter of proving something to myself that I'm not a complete failure, no matter how inadequate I am and how I may feel.

My life is a mess.

[areum-daun]

Unfortunate.

It's unfortunate that you want to prove your self worth but people want you to be practical.

Is there a happy medium?

Because you're clearly not a failure. But right now, you're at a dead end. And I wish it wasn't this way for you. Because I know you work so hard every day, but you're not getting any returns for your labor. I wish there was a solution that could satisfy both parties.  My heart aches that there is no immediate solution.

Sorry, you who was born on 11.11.87.

Have strength. I'm praying for you.

[areum-daun]

Thoughts for the day.

Bringing something up that's in the process of being forgotten, so dumb!

In relationship to my former relationship. I don't think I'm going to go there.

"Something existed there". -

Can I just be a photographer instead?

Coffee shop studying, please.

Atleast throw a dog a bone here and let me study in a comfortable coffee shop.

[areum-daun]

Self-Discovery and Self-Invention, it's a process, no?

I'm tired of doing things to please people. I tired of masking who I am to please people. My priorities are all in the wrong place, and it's going to take awhile for me to really find and create who I am.

I've been stuck in an identity crisis. My internal values have been in conflict. I believe and know for a fact I have been taught good values from a young age that will stick with me forever. The good parts are to love God, walk with God, love others. I love those values.

However, other aspects have been drilled into my brain that cause me to hide in fear and facade. I am afraid to break out of this shell. It's not even a shell, it's more like a dark cave of negativity in which I can easily get out of but can't.

Are you going to judge me because my skirt is an inch above my knee? Or are you going to judge my family's music taste because our Christian music that plays in the background, there's drums?

Get off your high horse.

Why are some people like that? I remember majority of my high school days judging other people for wearing pants or listening to worldly music. I was a holier than thou, and in turn I  was scared of being judged and looked down upon. It's a vicious cycle.  I couldn't be real with others, I couldn't be real with myself, and the worst thing was I couldn't be real with God.

Before I really start having deeper regrets, it's time to let who I really want to be and who I really am to come out. Because I know, God made me who I am and why should I hinder that with people's perceptions of myself. I have a lot to work on and God needs to mold me in the way He wants to. I need to be a raw version of myself for him to do that. I still have my standards and convictions, but until God shows me himself that whatever I am doing is wrong, I'll continue on. I won't follow blindly anymore.

I want to be a little different. I want to do what I want to do.

[areum-daun]

Seems like everyone is finding their lobsters

Lobsters who perfectly suit each other.

Everyone around my age that is.

I don't think I've met anyone who has particularly suited me.

Keroro, you found someone that suited you.

I don't think my turn is coming anytime soon.

Well, sometimes you gotta be bold. Just rock the world.

Focus on things that will lift my mood.
