#fmdjaewon

the familiar scent of coffee lingered within duri’s nose, sat by a big window. on that day, he decided to visit his uncle’s and aunt’s café, a place that he spent his childhood and teen years in. it had seemed that a lot of times, when a place smelt like nothing but coffee, it had always brought him back to the warm embrace of the café that he grew up in, that he spent a lot of his days in. things still felt the same in the café, even though his uncle and aunt managed to upgrade it to bring it into modern times. maybe it was the energy that made it felt the same. 

he had moose with him on this day, who seemed to not want duri to leave the house on his own. he was laying on the floor, right next to the table, and would wag every time he got a glimpse of duri’s uncle or aunt. but, on this day, duri had invited jaewon out to the café, as it had been a long while since they last saw each other - due to busy schedules and all that. plus, he felt like it would be nice to see jaewon, to remind himself that everything was going to be okay. 

While their relationship was far from being a normal one, especially in its earlier stages, Samsoo was incredibly happy with Jaewon. Their years of friendship had cultivated into a relationship that Soo treasured more than anything, and he was fairly certain that Jaewon felt the same way about him too. Their relationship, while not perfect, was more than anything that Samsoo could really ask for. In all honesty, he wasn’t sure what to expect from the other male when they first entered the romantic dynamic with one another, especially given how Jaewon used to behave when it came to intimacy, but he was glad that his worries and apprehensions were put to rest. As it turned out, Jaewon just so happened to be a great partner, so great that Samsoo found himself feeling a little guilty for having those reservations when they first got together. 

Now fast forward three years later and the two of them are still going strong. Three years later and Soo was just as infatuated and in love with Jaewon as he was in the beginning of their relationship. It was something he tried not to take for granted. He knew there were a lot of people who couldn’t say the same about their significant others. 

Even though they had fittings for their music video and stage outfits that day, Samsoo still wanted to do something really nice for his boyfriend on their anniversary. He had somehow convinced Ting to distract Jaewon with one thing or another while he got everything prepared at their apartment. He didn’t go too over the top, just cooked dinner and lit a few candles and set up a nice vase filled with flowers. He checked his phone, looking to see what time it was, just in time to hear the front door open. He smiled reflexively, stepping out from the kitchen to see Jaewon standing by the front door. “Ah, jagiya! Happy anniversary.” 

it’s only been a couple of days since she finally heard the title track for her mini album, and she was surprised to hear that it was written by jaewon. well, partially, but he had some big credits on it. now that she thinks back on it, she does think it reminded her of him, but then again his style had been pretty diverse so she couldn’t catch on right away. there was nothing personal against the song itself, but she wasn’t sure why dimensions was trying with her when her debut failed. plus, this was a complete 180, and she’d rather sing about falling in love again instead of having to act all tough chic. or at least that’s what the song sounded like. 

she hadn’t meant to come over just to complain, but as much as jaewon and herself both pretend like they are annoyed of one another, he’s simply one of those people that she can be honest with. “got anything else for me?” she inquires with a dry laugh. she doubts he knew the song was coming to her anyway, and she knows the company wasn’t going to change it at this point, but it didn’t hurt to ask. who knows? maybe he’ll throw her another song later on; one that’s more personalized for her.

“hey!” she doesn’t think she would have found herself saying hello without hesitating a couple of months ago, but now that the show’s been going on for a while, and she’s taken some time to have a proper conversation with jaewon, she thinks she can confidently at least consider him a close acquaintance. “i never got to thank you personally, but your song got me my first win.” a playful curtsy is given towards his direction before she chuckles. “you nervous?” with the question, she stares at the stage that’s still in the middle of being set up. the venue seems odd without an audience in it, and she doesn’t think she can ever fully shake off the nerves that come from performing in front of a live audience. 

When the sun sets and the roommate is kicked out of the apartment, it leaves Charlie as the sole owner of the place, a sense of emptiness she hasn’t felt in a long time. But it is not without purpose because soon arrives the comfort of a drinking buddy just as they had scheduled. “Welcome, my dear friend.” Greeting him with a grin on her face, having nearly thrown the door open a few seconds after the doorbell rang, she does the sensible thing of stepping aside to let him inside. The tunes of an r&b song plays in the background, a hint of nostalgia weaves through the otherwise empty and silent apartment, and something to keep her entertained while she waits for the male.

sung didn’t used to be the type to drink, basically ever. it had been a conscious choice to keep his wits about him, and avoid chance of gluttony. he’d gotten accidentally drunk once, at a company event no less, and though it wasn’t the moment he decided to drink, it had sparked an era of sung not being as against drinking.

nowadays, he drank sometimes. casually, with a friend, he might have one sip of a drink, rather than outright reject it like he might have before. that night was casual, though more in that sung would rather be fully aware of what happened during a company event --and to skip the hangover that would only make schedules the next day more difficult. he’d been nursing on one flute of champagne most of the night, leaving his head, at most, lightly swimming. despite what others had been saying about the alcohol, sung’s low tolerance was no match for it.

jaewon didn’t seem to have the same mindset. frankly, sung worried a bit that jaewon might black out. he wondered where soo had gone off to, but, it wasn’t his fight. sung was soo’s friend, jaewon’s friend, which meant he should be looking after jaewon as well. “hey, would you like to talk?” his hand hesitated, but followed through on reaching out to grab jaewon’s wrist. “let’s go to the garden, yeah?” sung pulled them both along in the right direction, but once on their way, relaxed his grip, leaving a flat hand wrapped as a blanket over jaewon’s forearm. “i don’t think i’ve ever seen you drink like this. are you feeling alright?”
