Your coach laughed before sending a smiley emoticon on the screen. It continued to buzz as you stood there staring at the silver-haired boy who wore a simple silk shirt that complimented his fair skin. Were you underdressed? All you wore was a simple black dress that you found in your closet, although you couldn’t even remember where you had gotten it from. Maybe on a weekend you went shopping and completely blacked out.

“Perhaps you should go sit with him.” Your coach laughed, buzzing once again in you hand.

What if you weren’t enough for him? What if this was going to be a complete mess? What if-

“Hey, are you ______?” A strange, yet comforting voice asked as you were staring down at your device.

You completely snapped out of your thoughts, realizing that you probably looked like a complete idiot not moving from where you were standing for the past few minutes. You looked up at him and felt your heart burst out of your chest. He was so much better looking up close, maybe the simulation matched you with the wrong person. He was like an angel on Earth...  

“U-uh. uhm. Yes?” You stuttered, “Yeah. Oh my god, hi. I’m _____.”

Just when you thought he couldn’t get more perfect, he chuckled at your embarrassment. Seriously, what did you do to get matched with someone like him?

“I know, let’s go sit down. Our food should be out soon.”

───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────

After sitting with Jisung for another ten minutes, you felt as if your nerves completely vanished with how he went out of his way to help you feel more comfortable.

“Is this your first time?” Jisung asked, looking up at you with his almost puppy like eyes. You were so captivated in his eyes, they looked like they held the entire universe in them.

“Yeah,” You smiled, “I thought I should give it a try.” Your heart began to race once again when Jisung reflected the same smile.

“Same here,” Jisung laughed, “I thought why not try to find my one true love.”

The two of you laughed at the thought of finding the one through a stupid dating application. It was just something to do for fun in hopes of something possibly blossoming. Yet, maybe you had begun to believe in the concept because maybe you were already on top of the world with Jisung.

You were nervous enough to be on the date already. Your previous relationships made you insecure about yourself, never feeling like you were quite enough for anyone. Even with the dating coach trying to set you up with people who would be your perfect match, you couldn’t help but to wonder how this will all end up for the both of you.

“Do you think we should check our expiry dates now or after we eat?” Jisung asked, shaking his coach device by his head with another huge smile. “Why not now? What’s the harm in finding out?”

“You’re right.” And you felt your heart burst once again when Jisung’s eyes turned into complete crescent moons when he smiled so widely.

The both of you grabbed your devices and slid to the option of the locked expiry date. Seeing the terms and conditions flash before your eyes before looking at each other and nodding. 

‘4 hours.’

“Oh.. that’s all?” You mumbled almost in shock, “That can’t be right, does yours say the same?”

Jisung looks at his device and nods feeling the sadness wash over him, “only four hours together?”

“Maybe it’ll go up after we finish eating.” Jisung mumbled when the waiter set down their food, “I hope it’ll go up.”

Your faces lit up when the entrees were set on the table. Jisung’s coach had played it safe and ordered a burger for him, whereas your coach seemed to go for the adventurous side with ordering an entire platter of sushi.

“This looks amazing.” Jisung said in awe, almost like he hadn’t ever seen anything so delicious. You nodded at your entree as well, seemingly wondering if you had ever eaten anything that looked too perfect.

While the two of you began to eat, Jisung started using icebreaker questions to help you feel more comfortable with being on the date. Even if he was stuttering the questions because he could hear his heart beating out of his chest whenever you puffed your cheeks out to think of how to answer.

“Is your food good?” Jisung asked, looking at you stuffing your face. You almost choked on your food while smiling and nodding, “extremely.”

He looked down at his half eaten burger before looking back up at you with the biggest puppy eyes that he could pull off, “I can try?”

If Jisung hadn’t already made you feel like your heart was going to explode, that moment just took the cake for it.

“Of course.” You nodded before picking up your chopsticks to feed a piece to Jisung, causing the both of you to laugh loudly when half of it fell into his lap.

You both couldn’t stop laughing, your bellies rumbled with your hearty laughs bouncing all around the restaurant as on-lookers stared. Jisung could feel the tears rushing down his face while he picked up the other half that didn’t make it to his mouth. Not even a minute passed by before Jisung was choking on the other half he forgot was in his mouth, his hand frantically pounding on his chest as he swallowed the entire thing without chewing and you were dying at the sight.

“Oh god, are you okay?”

His life flashed before his eyes, but just seeing you laughing so hard made his heart soar.

“I.. I think so.” Jisung mumbled before taking a giant gulp of water before looking around the room, seeing that all eyes were on you. Eerily enough you felt it too, it also felt like no one was breathing either as well. Why did it feel so weird being the center of attention? He almost choked didn’t he? You both were just enjoying yourselves.

You looked back to Jisung who was wiping the tears from the brim of his eyes, wondering if he had felt weird about everyone’s stares too.

“Everything okay?”

You could feel your breath quicken before you shook your head, feeling anxious with everyone staring. You even noticed before that the waiter had begun to stare you down when Jisung asked if he could try a piece of your food. Was this normal? Did you truly forget what it was like to be on a date in public?

“Do you want to leave?” Jisung whispered, placing his hand on top of your shaking ones, “We can go now if you want.”

“Let’s go.” You finally said with your voice still trembling. It didn’t make any sense, why were you so scared? And what were you scared of to begin with?

You both got up from the table, the eyes of the patrons following your every move. How could you even describe how eerily terrifying this was to Jisung, who seemed like nothing was phasing him? Maybe he just had a better poker face than you did.

You didn’t have a set destination of where to go once you left the restaurant. Strangely enough, you couldn’t remember where you lived nor could Jisung. Plus you had agreed not to take the taxi that the coach device had booked, which was already waiting outside when you walked out of the doors. 

“All of this is strange.” Jisung said after plopping himself down on the dewy grass beside you. The lake was only a five minute walk for you, however neither of you even remembered a lake being there to begin with.

“Yeah.. now that I think about it I don’t really remember much about my life before this date.” You responded, staring at the lake’s calm ripples. As hard as you tried, you could barely remember what you did before you got to the restaurant.

“We have a few hours left together.”

The two of you looked at your coach device screens, the big countdown timer flashing brightly in your faces. Two hours. Did the time really go by that quickly?

“Do you think most expiry dates are always this short?” Neither of you had any experience to compare your dates to. You didn’t really know what to say after Jisung asked the question besides look at the lake. 

“I wished it was longer.” You mumbled, turning to face him. Jisung couldn’t help but to agree, there was so much more that he wanted to learn about you. Your favorite color, what you were like when you got sad or how you would shine whenever you were doing something you liked. Jisung wanted to know more, yet you both weren’t allowed to. Except why.. is that?

“Why is there an expiry date to begin with?” You felt yourself getting angry. Wondering why a stupid circular device that you don’t even remember where you bought was telling you when to stop talking to a potential lover. Wondering why this all was supposed to make sense. Wondering… how you even got to this point in your life.

“Maybe it’s beyond us, why don’t we just make the most of it?” Jisung chuckled, hoping to make light of the situation. Why waste time wondering about something that you couldn’t even change?

The both of you laid back on the grass side by side, Jisung’s hand finding his way into yours as you stared at the sky and beautiful stars.

“I think that’s a constellation.” Jisung said, pointing at the random shape of stars that made it look almost like a heart.

“What constellation looks like a messed up heart?” You laughed, trying to point with the hand that was holding Jisung’s before realizing.

“I think it’s called… Jisung’s feelings.”

You both giggled before seeing the shape shift apart. Neither of you could help thinking about the inevitable countdown.

“Maybe it was called _____’s feelings too because I feel the same way.”

“The same way?”

You sat up and looked down at Jisung who was still laying on the grass, “the ‘I really like you and want to get to know you more because you seem just my type’ way.”

“Thank god because I was starting to think I was the only one who felt that way here.” “Jisung I was holding your hand!” 

One hour. Your devices were buzzing like crazy when the final hour arrived. Jisung could have sworn that it was just flashing two hours. He didn’t want to go yet. There was just so much more that he wanted to do with you and you could almost one hundred percent agree on how he was feeling.

“What do you think happens when it’s finished?” You asked, staring back at the now clear sky. 

Jisung stared at the moon, almost like he was trying to ask it for answers but unfortunately it didn’t talk back to him. He tried to think hard but nothing made sense to him. Everything about this situation didn’t make sense to him. However the only thing that Jisung felt made sense was his urge to stay with you just a little bit longer.

“Maybe nothing.” Jisung hoped for that most of all. Maybe it was an optional time limit together, maybe you didn’t even have to go by it at all.

“I hope so… I don’t want this night to end yet.”

Thirty minutes. Your hearts were racing, neither of you could fight the thought of your time together lessening as you tried to distract yourselves. You found out Jisung’s common fun facts, while Jisung found out about your dreams and what you liked to do. Except both couldn’t answer what you planned to do after this date was over. How could you? All you two were thinking about was how to lengthen your times together.

“I don’t want this to end yet.” Jisung whispered, tightening his hold on your hand.

One minute. The two of you were sitting face to face as you tried to fight back the tears. Why were you crying? You both have only just met, right? How did it make sense, but why did it feel like you were losing a piece of yourselves at the thought of having to say goodbye?

“Jisung I don’t want to go yet.” You cried, feeling the hot tears run down your cheeks. Jisung cried with you, but cupped your cheeks and smiled as brightly as he could.

“Then we don’t.” Jisung wiped the tears off of your cheeks. He didn’t know what he meant when saying that, but all he wanted was for you to stop crying. He wanted to stop crying himself. The more the thought about this, the more it started to make less sense to him. He had only just met you, yet why did he feel such a strong connection together? Why was it like there was a thread that tied the both of you together that he didn’t want to disconnect yet?

Both devices begun to ring noisily, there was no way of ignoring the loud alarm that had set off once the countdown reached zero. Jisung looked back and forth between you and the device.

“We don’t have to go if we don’t want to.” Jisung affirmed, before taking his device and throwing it into the lake. You stared at Jisung in disbelief before doing the same, still hearing the blaring alarm in your ears.

“We don’t have to go if we don’t want to.” You repeated softly over and over again as you both stared at the devices sinking to the bottom of the lake.

“See.. nothing.” Jisung sighed in relief, before cupping your cheeks again. “May I?”

You nodded and smiled, “please.”

With that, Jisung pressed his lips against yours. Everything about this kiss felt so right, except it felt so familiar too. Your heart beating faster and faster as Jisung continued to kiss you. Your worlds feeling like they fell away, nothing was left except for the two of you. And that was all you could ever want except the universe had other opinions because right as Jisung was about to tell you to never leave, your world went dark.

Your eyes stung when you opened them, wondering what had just happened. You wondered if what you just went through was real or was it just a dream. You sat up slowly, rubbing your eyes noticing that they were puffier than usual and your cheeks felt tear stained. Maybe it was real?

“Babe?” A tired, familiar voice whispered as you were rubbing your eyes. You put your hands down and looked to the side of you. Jisung.

Did you dream about everything? Was everything just a fragment of your wild imagination?

“Jisung..” You said in almost disbelief. There wasn’t any easy way to help yourself wrap your head around what was even going on in your mind. It was like your brain was running a mile a minute while trying to figure out everything that had just happened. Was none of that real?

“It’s like six in the morning.. Let’s go back to sleep baby.” Jisung whined, pulling you back into his arms.

As you laid pressed against the warmth of his bare chest, you began to wonder about if what you just went through was real or not, but it didn’t matter to you in the end. Real or not, you got your happy ending and you wouldn’t change it for the world.

you had been crushing on felix for as long as you could remember

he was the literal sun,, and you couldn't help but to be attracted to him

but just like the sun,, he was unapproachable

felix had this aura to him, although his bright smile brought a warmth into your soul

you didn't know how to speak to him ever

you took classes with him,, it was almost every class too

still you felt too nervous to ever speak a word to him

so you just resort to glances and soft smiles whenever you saw him

you'd look up and see him laughing brightly

or you'd see him staring off into the window

his freckled face being hit with the sunlight and you thought that there couldn't be a sight any better than that

but there was,, there definitely was

and it was when felix stood right in front of you

with that signature smile on his face

and a hand on the back of his neck as he awkwardly says hello

“i like you.”

and you couldn’t believe the words that left his mouth

“i like you, but you don’t have to say anything. i just wanted to tell you.”

his freckled cheeks turn a bright red as he smiled down at you

you just stare in shock for the most part until you finally felt the words that had left your brain start to come back to you

“i like you too.”

ever since then you both were named the cutest couple on campus

felix wasn’t clingy, but somehow whenever you were around him his arms just found a way to snake around you

your cheeks were never left untouched from his lips for long

felix was completely infatuated with you

and you could say the same

it had felt like you were living a dream

your hand in his

your heart beating in harmony with his

and when you both shared your first kiss

under the same tree that he had confessed to you

you wouldn’t hesitate to say he was your first love

he had captured your heart and you didn’t wish for anything different

although,, every dream doesn’t have a happy ending

you woke up one day,, feeling slightly sick to your stomach

a strange feeling rushed over your body,, a strange coldness greeted your skin

it was around a few months into your relationship with felix where you had the worse heartbreak in your life

you both were set to go on a date in town that afternoon

but you had awoken to a vague text message from your love

“sorry - felix.”

and you couldn’t wrap your head around why this was happening

you texted him back multiple times, asking why or what had happened

you tried calling

every time,, you were greeted to the cold and heartbreaking voice of the operator

you tried his parents,, both of them not answering

you tried everything but you were left with no answers

that’s when you made your way to his house by noon

the knock on the white wooden door left an empty feeling in your chest

there had to be a reason for why felix would disappear like this

was it your fault? did you scare him off?

at the same time, if you did you knew he would have said something

felix wasn’t the type to just leave without a word

after another minute goes by, you try to knock again before a neighbor stopped you in your tracks

“they were heading for the airport if that helps you sweetheart. left just a bit ago.”

that’s when you felt your heart drop to the core of the earth

was the reason why he wasn’t saying anything because he was moving? but you both could’ve worked it out?

did something else happen?

you tried to go through every option of why felix didn’t say anything to you besides a vague apology

your mind not resting the entire ride to the airport

you laughed pitifully at how cliche this was, chasing down your boyfriend at the airport

it would be a lost cause if he had already taken a plane

or maybe you could be as luck as those cliches and run into him

the airport was completely crowded, it happened to be a weekend so obviously people were trying to fly

you tried desperately to find felix, hoping that your eyes would land on the boy but there were too many people to search through

that’s when you heard a familiar voice come from behind you

“y/n?”

“felix.” you finally were able to let out a breath, “are.. you leaving?”

his face dropped from his previous smile, sadness filling every inch of his face

“i know i should’ve told you properly, but the company said to leave without a word.”

“what company? why are you leaving lix?” you wanted to ask more, but with the look he had on his face you knew you were limited with time

“i auditioned for an entertainment company in korea, they really liked my dancing so they wanted me to go.” he couldn’t look at your face anymore, his eyes were directed at the floor and at your shoes

“lixie, look at me babe.” you say with your hand going to cup his cheek, “i’m so proud of you.”

“you’re not mad?”

“of course not, that would be stupid of me to be mad for you chasing your dreams. with the way i love you, i want you to always be happy even if i’m not in your life.”

“y/n..” he sighs, a tear falling from his eyes. he didn’t want to leave you so soon but he wanted to chase his dreams too

“go lix. i’ll be here supporting your every step.” you say with a smile, “make sure to get really famous and come back here yeah?”

this one hurt the most because you always knew felix was your other half, but sometimes the right people just come with the wrong timing. or you’ll never be able to have the person you want to because that’s just not how fate works.

and you kept your word and supported felix every step he took his chase his dream

you met seungmin on twitter almost four years ago

sept 4th would mark the four years, also known as day6’s debut date where you met a screaming and spazzing seungmin on the blue bird app

you could recall the first time talking to each other like it was just yesterday

day6, jyp’s first actual band had debuted with their song congratulations

you were definitely looking forward to it as you had watched their debut content for a while now and knew you were in for a treat

especially with metaphorically having your bias, jae’s, name tattooed on your forehead with how whipped you were for the tall boy

while watching the music video, you live-tweeted the entire experience

mostly through typos and illegible sentences, but one person who you hadn’t remembered becoming mutuals with could totally understand

and that’s when the first reply that would turn into years of friendships and thousands of back and forth DMs was sent

“@jaeschicken AH HAVE YOU LISTEN TO THE REST OF THE EP I AM IN LOVE”

and that’s when you took it among yourself to send a DM to who you first came to know as minnie

“I HOPE YOU DON’T MIND ME SLIDING INTO YOUR DMS BUT NO I HAVEN’T I JUST WOKE UP TO WATCH THE MUSIC VIDEO”

“WELL LISTEN TO IT”

and that’s how you met your best friend with the power of day6 and their amazing music stop sleeping on daysicc

now with almost four years down the line, there wasn’t a day where you went without talking to seungmin

most days you spent talking via many text messages or still screaming at each other over DMs or even just indirecting each other until the other catches on to all lead back to regular ole text messaging

but there were days where you spent talking over the phone, which was spent mainly screaming at the other for almost any reason no matter how small

or it was spent when the other was having an extremely hard time and needed someone to talk to

then there were days where you both facetimed for hours and even fell asleep during calls

with whoever was the first one to wake up screaming at the other to wake up

you just couldn’t imagine a life without your best friend, even if your parents didn’t understand it

which leads to the reason of why your parents didn’t understand it

seungmin was in korea while you weren’t

which lead to misunderstands from both of your parents as to “what if seungmin was an old man trying to kidnap you” or vice versa for his parents about you

they’d never understand

because seungmin was there for you whenever people in real life wasn’t

and even with the hours upon hours of a time difference, the two of you were willing to risk sleep if that meant being able to talk to the other

now.. there was also another problem

about a year ago

after being friends for a solid two years as well

you started developing extremely strong feelings for seungmin

and you really did not know what to do with them

but one day it got to the point where you couldn’t hold them in anymore

and you had to tell him, even if it was in the middle of the night for him and absolutely cliche of you to fall for your best friend

luckily, he felt the exact same way

he laughed at first, which was chaotic because you went through a whirlwind of emotions

was he laughing at your feelings? did he not feel the same? did he think you were stupid for falling in love with a boy you haven’t met who was tens of thousands away from you? but o h god his laugh is amazing. please keep laughing. seungmin i love your laugh why are you doing this to me?

then softly smiled before jutting out a “same”

“same?” you looked confused which probably didn’t reflect well over a terrible webcam

“yeah, same. i’m glad you said something because i was about to go crazy soon.”

“go crazy ahhh go stupid ahhh” shut up vic

“what do you mean?”

he laughs again, “i’ve been dropping hints for so long now y/n!! why did you think i talked about long distance relationships so often? plus i told you to listen to i’m serious so many times i thought it was obvious!”

of course that made you feel like a complete idiot for being so oblivious of his feelings for you too

but he couldn’t say much either since he was just as oblivious

but that made you two go through a rough patch for a quick second

okay. it was only for like a day but after spending two whole years of talking to seungmin everyday it felt like an eternity

“you’re so far away… and we’ve never met either.” you said while sulking, even if he couldn’t see you

“but it’s what the heart wants. we could try visiting whenever we have longer breaks from school. we can make this work if we try. i really like you.”

you didn’t know what to do at first, because you both had valid points

but after spending an entire night tossing and turning while thinking you finally made a choice

what if you missed out on something that could change your life?

you never would know if you didn’t take a risk and try it.

and that’s how you started dating your best friend seungmin

for the first few months was quite difficult due to missing someone you’ve never met and craving for the other person even more now

although seungmin and you worked through it with increasing the amount of video calls and phone calls just to put a temporary fix on the yearning of the other

then it came to the first i love you which although seungmin fighting with you that it wasn’t the first because you both would say it to each other while not dating

“but it is the first because we mean it in a different way now!” you whine with a pout

“well then with your logic, my first i love you was months ago.” he laughs which left you confused

“what do you mean?”

“i said it when you fell asleep over call.”

“you’re such a cliche.”

“says you.”

now after working through your difficulties, seungmin and you were stronger than ever

as lovers and as friends

and you had an even bigger surprise to tell him with your first year anniversary coming up

“hello~ earth to y/n~ will you stop looking at jae pictures and look at your boyfriend while he sings to you?” seungmin pouts, causing your attention to break from your phone

“hey, it wasn’t jae i was looking at.”

“then what was it if it’s not the ‘love of your life’ or not me?”

“just my plane tickets to come see you.” you smile, knowing that the slight lag from your internet connection would delay his reaction

“wait what?”

“seungmin i’m coming to see you,” you giggle while showing your phone to the camera, “i leave in two weeks, right when school lets out.”

now those two weeks to you felt like an eternity because of the amount of excitement you held in your body to finally meet the person who you called your other half

to finally be able to hug him and hold his hand

to finally be able to talk to him in person, face to face and not just through two screens

but they finally came and you were finally on your way to kim seungmin

the flight was long but bearable, probably due to the willpower of “love” helping you not throw yourself off the plane because of crying babies and strangers who didn’t understand the concept of personal space whatsoever

but you lived through it and now you were breathing korean air

you hauled your suitcase behind you as you went through the gates, a soft smile on your tired face after going through an hour of immigration paperwork but again the willpower of love was incredibly strong

after a few minutes of scanning the large airport that was extremely crowded, you finally laid eyes on him

it didn’t feel real

you were in the same room as him, breathing the same air, only a few feet away from each other

you felt the tears streaming down your face as you ran towards him, dropping your suitcase and attacking him with a giant hug

and a kiss, one that was sudden but still melted into a soft and intimate one

your lips completely melting with his and you could feel the surge of sparks flying all throughout your body and veins

you could melt into a puddle right then and there if possible

you were kissing him. you were hugging him.

he was real and he was finally in your arms.

“oh my god.” was the only thing you could say for the next minute while he held you so tightly in his arms

“oh my god this is finally happening.” you cried, leaning your forehead against his shoulder, “i can’t believe this is happening.”

seungmin cupped your face into his hands and raised your head so that you could meet his eyes. he took in every detail of you and couldn’t believe it as well.

“you’re even more perfect in person.” he smiles, causing your heart to swell even more.

“i will have a heart attack from the amount of emotions my heart is going through right now.” you laugh, still crying although now seungmin used his thumbs to wipe your tears away, “you’re taller than i imagined.”

he laughed at your comment, “maybe you’re just shorter than you think you are.”

“ouch.” you teased, now finally calming down and coming back to your senses

after another minute or two of just standing there admiring each other’s presence in real life, the two of you decided it was time to let you get settled and probably get some proper rest

as you laid on the couch in seungmin’s arms with a movie playing softly in the background as the two of you talked, you felt a sense of happiness you never knew you were able to feel

and apparently seungmin could sense that too from his question of why were you smiling so hard

“i just can’t believe i’m right here in your arms. i also can’t stop thinking about how i’m so lucky to have met you and literally met an angel who captured my heart.”

he squeezed you closer to him before pressing a kiss on your forehead, “i’m suppose to say the cheesy things y/n~ but i feel the exact same.”

“i love you seungmin.” you say with a yawn while cuddling into his chest

“i love you so much more.” he whispers as he runs his fingers through your hair, “and i’m so glad to have met you.”

and you felt asleep in complete bliss and happiness

finally meeting your first love and finally being able to close the distance of thousands of miles between the two of you

and this was all thanks to a band who the two of you were going to go see in concert
