(Hello, anon! We are so glad that you sent us this ask!!! I hope that you like this WIP i've been working on. You may or may not find it exactly the way I did it now once it's posted, but this is the rough cut of this work! 🙆♀️❤)
{THE AND} | by Skin Deep | SVT Version
Author's Note: If you've watched Skin Deep videos on YouTube before, then you know what this fic holds! Like my TROS series, I just used what the title of this segment is and put 'by Skin Deep' so that it's clear that this is an imagine from that segment only. I hope you enjoy this!
Genre: Generally fluff but what is life without a little angst, right? But really, this is really just fluff
P.S. please forgive the typos and mixed-up lines if there are any (i think there are) cos i'm still not at home and i couldn't fix it using my phone idk why hahaha buuut since this is just a WIP i'm really sorry if it looks rough 🤣
@nrhfzh thought u might want to read this cos it's sort of 'a spinoff to the spinoffs' HAHAHA 🤣😭
SETTING: Two wooden chairs face each other, and a table with two stacks of cards on top is in between the chairs. The backdrop is a white brick wall. The crew waits patiently for the guests to appear.
[Soft laughter bubbles somwhere to the right behind the cameras, and then Yoon Jeonghan appears, wearing a loose, long-sleeved shirt unbuttoned at the top, loose, ankle-length, cream-colored pants. He turns to the camera and self-consciously rakes his ash-blonde hair back. He is wearing round-rimmed glasses. And holding his hand, laughing alongside him, is you, wearing a cream-colored pantsuit. The camera takes note of the gold rings you and Jeonghan wore, and the body language between you two that definitely speaks of an easy, mature relationship.]
[Both of you sit down on the opposite chairs. Jeonghan smiles and bows his head briefly at the direction of the cameras and then turns to you.]
JEONGHAN: [Leans back on his chair and smiles playfully.] Hi there, Yoon Jeonghan's wife.
YOU: [Wiggles fingers at his direction as you laugh again.] Please don't make me laugh too much...we've barely even begun.
JEONGHAN: [Sits up straight and looks at you in his best, mock sober face.] Okay. I'll be good.
YOU: [Narrows your eyes playfully at Jeonghan.] Hmm. Okay. [Picks up a card.] Let's start. Hmm...[reads the card.] This is interesting. [Lifts eyes to Jeonghan, who is now listening intently.] Describe our marriage in four words.
JEONGHAN: That is interesting. [Face turns thoughtful.] Am I supposed to make a sentence with four words, or just any four words that I would describe our marriage with?
YOU: Any way you want to describe it, love. [Watches as he thinks about his answer.]
JEONGHAN: Okay. [Gazes at you as he counts off with his fingers.] Lovely. Warm. Safe. Comfortable. [Waits for you to answer then breaks out into a chuckle.] Did I answer that well?
YOU: Yes! [Laughs softly and looks at Jeonghan, your face flushed.] Why did you choose those words?
JEONGHAN: [Leans closer to you and clasps his hands together.] I could have said, 'beautiful', since 'lovely' and 'beautiful' are synonymous, but I chose 'lovely' instead because...because what we have...this marriage--[struggles to find the right words]--isn't just beautiful. It's beautiful because it is full of love. Hence...[counts off again.]...The first word. 'Lovely'. [Smiles at you for a while.] I said, 'warm', because you know, it's not a secret. [Bursts into laughter with you.] We both like hugs. We both like warm embraces and we often do that, like, like--
YOU: --an impulse. [Smiles.]
JEONGHAN: Yes, like an impulse. Even right now, looking at you smile at me like that--[smiles back]--I just want to...reach out and hug you. [Laughs self-consciously and pushes up his glasses.] Just like that.
YOU: We both like that 'Hold me for a while' hug--
JEONGHAN: [Nods in acknowledgment, looking at you endearingly.] Yes. When we are both tired or sad or just--
JEONGHAN: --and we just hug each other. There aren't even words needed. We just reach out and embrace.
YOU: [Sighs and cups your face in your hands.] We do. Yes.
JEONGHAN: And then I said, 'safe', because you've become my best friend, especially on midnights and slow afternoons. I tell you everything that goes on in here [gestures to his head], and it's really crazy how I could just tell you everything and not feel anxious that I might be exposing too much of myself. I...[fumbles for words]...I usually bottle up everything inside, but even when I feel like I might break into pieces--[blushes at his words]--and spill all the thoughts in my head, you always listen and I feel safe. So...'safe'.
YOU: [Chuckles and blinks back tears.] Wow, love. [Laughs and dabs a finger onto a cheek to wipe off a tear that escaped.] That was intense. Sorry.
JEONGHAN: [Hands you a tissue and squeezes your hand comfortingly.] And lastly, 'comfortable', because at this very young age of 38--[you burst with laughter with him once again]--you and I always find fun together, and you don't judge me or stop me even if I am too silly at times. No matter how busy our lives are with our kids and our work--we always make sure that we spend time together. [Smiles sheepishly at you.] My explanation with that kinda sucked.
YOU: [Laughs and high-fives with him.] No, you did great.
JEONGHAN: [Laughs with you and picks a card.] Okay. My turn. [Reads the card and looks at you.] What is the quality that you like the most about me?
