you tried to make as little noise as you could when walking down wonyoung's stairs and to her front door. you got out and saw jungwon looking down at his shoes, kicking rocks near them. when he heard you open the door and looked up, he smiled.

there it is, you really missed seeing that 

“hey.” he finally said, as you walked over to him, he held out his hand to you, indicating you take it, and so you do “where are we going?” you ask him “you’ll see,” he smiling to himself as he walks hand in hand with you 

he hands you an airpod, you look at it before you take it, “thanks,” and he takes his phone to choose a song, and you recognize the tone, feel something, and you bite back a smile as he looks to see your reaction, “here it is,” he says, pointing at the convenience store in front of you guys 

the sign hanging above the store illuminated the street, and a wave of familiarity washed over you as you and jungwon, still hand in hand, approached the store

𓍼 authors note — hi I was half asleep while doing the texts part so that’s why I didn’t add the scene of the actual jungwon confessing part but hey if you guys want me to do that part also I’ll squeeze it in some other time😳😳

She groaned in frustration. “He was supposed to help me with my family tree project.”

Y/n placed her book down and stood up to comfort her. “I can help you, what do you need?”

“Our family picture books. Dad said he would get them for me before he left.”

“Oh, I know where those are.” Y/n moved past her and headed into the living room. She bent down to a cabinet and pulled out a large wooden box. “They should be in here.”

She sat on the floor and dusted off the box, opening it to reveal multiple photobooks. “Thanks, mom.”

Y/n hummed and sat next to her. “I haven’t seen these in years.”

“Really? I couldn’t tell.” 

“Don’t get smart, Hyeri.”

Hyeri tried to hide her smile as she looked through the albums. “Oh, mom, is this you?” She pulled out a leather book with a large photo of Y/n centered in the middle.

Y/n looked at the album and smiled. “It’s my wedding book.” She wiped some of the dust off of the book and opened it up looking at some of the photos. “It was years ago but I still feel like it was yesterday..”

Hyeri leaned her head on her mom’s shoulder looking at the photos with her. When Y/n flipped to a page of Hyeri’s father, she turned to her. “Hey, mom?”

“Yes?”

“Was dad your first love?” 

Y/n chuckled at Hyeri’s curiosity. “No, but your dad was my truest love. And that’s what’s most important.” She closed the wedding album and carefully placed it back in the box.

Hyeri shrugged and continued to dig through the box, “Oh what’s this?” She pulled out a hard-covered green book.

Y/n nearly gasped at the sight of it. “It’s my high school yearbook.” 

“Really?” Hyeri excitedly flipped through the pages of the yearbook. “You and aunt Yunah were in the broadcast club?”

“Mhm. She was the morning announcer. “ Y/n smiled fondly at the memory. “And like usual I followed her everywhere.”

“Oh, there’s dad.” She pointed to the picture of her father in the group broadcast club photo. “I thought you two didn’t meet until college?”

“No, we didn’t start dating until college.” She smiled and flipped through the yearbook before settling on the signature pages. 

Her daughter looked through all the signatures. “Wow, you were popular.” 

Y/n raised her brow in suspicion. “Why do you sound shocked?”

Hyeri made a zipping motion over her mouth. “No reason.”

“Gosh, I wonder how all of them are doing. It seemed like we’d be best friends forever back then.” She brought the book closer to her and looked through all of her classmate’s messages.

She smiled, memories of her beloved high school years flooding back to her. She flipped to the last page of her yearbook to see more before noticing a message tucked in the corner. She felt her heart drop and she shakily brought her hands to trace over the words of the message. 

‘I want to be with you until the end of the world. I’m not sure if you feel the same but if you do… I’ll be at our place.’

Winter of 1999 T-Minus 14 days before the end of the world

Y/n stared at the phone at her bedside. ‘He said that I should call around 7’. She glanced up at her clock to check the time. ‘It’s 6:59’ She let out a laugh of nervousness as she pulled the piece of paper containing Jungwon’s number from her pocket. 

She picked up the phone and carefully inputted his number slightly hesitating before pressing the last digit. ‘Why am I so nervous? We see each other every day.’ Shaking off her nerves she raised the phone to her ear. The connecting dial tone rang out as she waited for the other line to pick up, after a few seconds she heard a woman’s voice speak. “Hello?”

Y/n swallowed before replying. “Hello uhm… is there a Yang Jungwon there?”

The women let out a hum. “One second please.” She lowered the phone carefully covering the microphone of the handset. “Jungwon!” she yelled. “Your girlfriend is on the phone.” Y/n’s body froze with embarrassment, faintly hearing the women’s words. Seeing Jungwon’s shocked expression, the woman uncovered the microphone. “He’s coming.”

“Yah Jaehee!” Jungwon ran from the kitchen into the family room, grabbing the phone from his sister. 

His sister giggled. “Don’t leave her waiting~” She teased walking away from him.

Jungwon scoffed before bringing the phone up to his ear. “I’m sorry about that Y/n.”

“It’s fine Wonie.” She said, twirling the cord of the handset. “So… you told your family? About us I mean?”

“Sort of?” Jungwon replied. “They got suspicious about me coming home so late and the excuse that I was hanging out with Sunoo wasn’t working anymore once my sister saw him with his sister. I didn’t say all of the specifics though if that helps.”

“No no, it’s only fair you tell them, since mine know and all.”

“Oh good, I thought you’d be upset with me or something.” Jungwon chuckled.

“I could never.” Y/n laughed. “But since we told them… this won’t be a problem when we-”

“No.” Jungwon interrupted. “We’ll be fine.”

“Good. I don’t want anything to be more awkward when it happens, especially since it’s so close.” Y/n let out a sigh of relief, laying back on her bed. “So what did you want me to call you for?”

“Oh right. Just hang on a sec I’m going to move rooms.” Jungwon lowered the phone and called out to his sister. “Jaehee!”

Jaehee poked her head out from the kitchen. “What is it?”

“Can you hold the phone for me? I’m moving to the phone in my room.”

“That private of a conversation huh?” She playfully rubbed her shoulder with him.

Jungwon rolled his eyes as he handed her the phone. “Just hold it please.”

“I will, I will.”

Jungwon ran up to his room and quickly picked up the phone in his room. “You can hang it up in there now Jaehee!” He watched carefully as his sister hung the phone up before lifting the phone back to his ear. “Okay, Y/n I’m back.”

Y/n smiled, finally hearing Jungwon’s voice again. “Welcome back. So now will you tell me why you wanted me to call?”

“Yeah. Do you remember when we were at the record store earlier today?”

“Uhm yeah?” Y/n heard Jungwon shuffling in his room. “What about it?”

“You said you wanted to hear S.E.S’s new album right?” Jungwon plugged in his CD player and grabbed the CD case off of his desk, pulling off the plastic wrapping covering it.

Y/n raised her brow in confusion. “Mhm I did, but it was sold out, remember?”

Jungwon smirked as he pressed the play button, the soft tune of S.E.S’s ‘Love’ flowing out of its speakers. “Can you hear it? Do I need to fix the volume?” 

“No, I can hear it just fine.” 

He smiled. “Great, I can’t put it too loud or my grandma might be upset.” Jungwon laid on the floor next to the CD player, silently humming along to the song. 

♫ Baby always brand new, your love. Nothing makes me happy more than anything else. Every day I felt the clear feeling of first love ♫

Y/n smiled hearing his voice humming along, finding herself focusing more on him than the actual song. “Wonie?”

“Yes?”

“How did you get the CD?” 

“My uh-” Jungwon cleared his throat.  “My sister bought it. She lined up the day it was released, she’s letting me borrow it just for this.” 

’Just for this? He’s doing this just for me?’ Y/n felt her cheeks grow hot.  “But why? I said I was just going to stay up for their music show performances until I could buy it”

“Even if our exams are over you shouldn’t stay up too late you know?” Jungwon laughed. “It’s not good to stay up this late when you don’t have to.”

“You’re so kind Jungwon, always worrying for me.” She teased. “Thank you.”

Jungwon smiled hearing the sincerity in her voice even with her teasing. “You’re welcome Y/n.”
