genre: fluff, ignoring him due to work you find a way to make it up to him.
wc: 600+

âwho are you texting?â your boyfriend asked as he laid in bed next to you attempting to look over at your phone screen. you glanced over to him and noticed a slight pout resting on his lips, clearly upset that you werenât paying attention to the movie he had put on for the both of you: âharry potter and the half blood princeâ you gave him no response, too busy typing away on your device to reply. (that and aside from the fact that youâre incapable of multitasking.)
as you laid comfortably on your back he decided to throw his left arm and leg onto you, side hugging you. ây/nnnnâ he said as he nuzzled his face into the crook of your neck and leaving a soft peck, begging for any sort of attention. you hummed in response, he smiled now that he had your attention, âstop texting, pay attention to your boyfriend.â you sighed, still fixated on your phone as you replied, âsorry wonnie, its work. i cant ignore itâ his pout deepened making his dimples more pronounced as he paused the movie and snuggled up to you closer, deciding to close his eyes in the meantime as he patiently waits for you to be done.
about thirty minutes pass of your general manager complaining about how itâs your responsibility to make sure the new company interns had work to do and someone to go to if they have questions and simply going on and on about how youâre not doing enough as a whole. this claim was obviously bogus by the way, yes youâve been training the new interns and giving them somewhat of simple assignments but it wasnât your fault that one of the college students couldnât grasp the basic task you thoroughly explained and not to mention didnât even bother to ask you for assistance.
you had finally had enough and shut off your phone, you honestly didnât care if your G.M yelled at you tomorrow for this, she had said more than enough. you sighed as you looked over to your boyfriend who looked sound asleep cuddled up on you. âwonnieâ you said softly. âare you asleep?â your boyfriend would often rest his eyes and accidentally fall asleep so assuming he was you reached over your hand and began playing with the bangs of his hair. he leaned into your palm instinctively, a slight hum coming from him as his eyes opened softly to your touch. âyou done?â he asked, voice still sleepy. âmhmâ you responded and he gave a lazy smirk. âgoodâ you smiled and reached for the remote to continue the movie but jungwon stopped you before you could unpause it. you look at him expectingly and he glared at you innocently, âwhat is it won?â
âdonât you think you should make up for ignoring me?â
âbut it was work?â
he pouts.
ânever mind.â he grumbled.
you gently position him on his back and straddled him, âwhat about this?â you say as you lean down to kiss his right cheek gently.
he chuckles, âmm not enoughâ
you giggle and kiss his forehead next, then his nose, admiring the love struck expression your boyfriend makes after each one.
after basically kissing his whole face you back away to look at him once more. without saying a word he pulls you in for a kiss on the lips, cupping your face to deepen it and releasing shortly after. âyouâre so cuteâ
ânow lets go to sleep, yeah?â still guilty you asked, âyou sure? we can finish the movie now. im done on my phone, promise.â he shook his head on the pillow, âits okay, i just want you in my armsâ
your boyfriend was so cute when he was like this, cuddled up in your big dark green sheets waiting to be embraced. you couldnât help but think he looked so small in the big blanket. you smiled in between your response, âokay wonnieâ

bad habits | sim jaeyun + yang jungwon

ê€ DESCRIPTION: Sim Jaeyun will always have a part of your heart; he was the first man you ever loved and the first man to ever break your heart. Yang Jungwon however, was the first man to ever sacrifice for you and your happiness. Now that you have Jake, you canât help but wonder if youâve made a catastrophic mistake.
â„ PAIRING: boyfriend!jake x f!reader & situationship!jungwon
â„ GENRE: slice of life!au, college!au
â„ WORD COUNT: 17.6k
â¶ WARNINGS: soft dom!jake, sub!reader, oral (f!receiving), p in v intercourse, underaged drinking, swearing, possessive!jungwon, mentions of sobriety, heartbreak, mentions of smoking and drugs, cheating, let me know if i missed anything !
ê€ A/N: this is the continuation of overpass graffitiâŠcan you tell iâm an ed sheeran lover? :)

âAm I doing something wrong?â Jake asks as he lifts his head from your core.
Itâs currently around three in the morning, you woke up a few minutes ago unable to find any peace in your dreams and after constantly tossing and turning, you accidentally woke up Jake who tried luring you back to sleep with a kiss which quickly escalated to heavily making out and him making his way down south.
You whine, tugging at his hair and encourage him to continue. âWhat makes you think you could possibly be doing something wrong?â
âYou look like youâd prefer to be anywhere else.â Rather than continuing like you had told him to, Jake lets one finger graze the length of your pussy, teasing your entrance slowly to try and turn you on again after realizing you were no longer wet. âWhat are you thinking of, love?â
Your thoughts instantly fly back to what has been plaguing your mind for the past four days and you immediately push his hands away. âI donât want to talk about it.â
Jake watches you fix your pajamas which consist of his oversized shirt and boxers before pulling the sheets over your body. He follows after you, waiting for an explanation. When you say nothing, he speaks up.
âHey, no more secrets, remember?â
He slides an arm around your waist and pulls you in closer to his body. You inhale deeply at the reminder of your words. You sigh, chewing on your lip as you try to form a sentence without possibly upsetting him.
âI know itâs justâŠâ You trail off and try to think through your emotions. You want to be upfront with him and let him know what youâre truly thinking and feeling but you barely know how to process it yourself let alone let someone else know whatâs going on in your mind.
âI donât know how to put it into words yet.â
âIf youâre not ready to talk about it,â He pulls back to offer you a lopsided smile and places a kiss on your cheek, âItâs fine. Tell me whenever you are.â
Hesitantly, you nod; kissing his cheek before turning around and letting him spoon you. As you feel him drift into sleep, the weight of his arm slumping completely over your waist, your thoughts fly back to four nights ago, when your life seemingly took a drastic turn.
After Jake professed his love to you in the rain on Newbury street, the two of you took an uber back to his dorm to dry off and talk about the logistics of your relationship. It completely slipped your mind to tell your friends where you had disappeared off to and it didnât help that your phone had died on the way to your destination.
You were once again so wrapped up in Sim Jaeyun that you were throwing caution to the wind and yet again placing him above yourself and others in your life. It wasnât until six hours after you had arrived at his did you bother to charge your phone. Once the device turned on, the text messages came swarming in.
[November 18th, 2:17 PM]
[jungwon]: are you on your way?
[jungwon]: the rain is coming down hard i can meet you halfway if you want. i brought an extra umbrella just in case ^-^
[November 18th, 3:27 PM]

[November 18th, 5:48 PM]
[avi]: you just couldnât help yourself huh?
[avi]: i hope jake was worth it lol
[November 18th, 5:50 PM]
[beomgyu]: :/
[beomgyu]: the least you could do is respond to jungwons texts.
[November 18th, 6:53 PM]
[avi]: do you plan on ignoring all of us?
[avi]: at least let us know youâre okay.
[November 18th, 6:55 PM]
[jungwon]: iâm sorry for getting mad earlier but please let me know youâre okay y/n
[jungwon]: iâm worried.
[jungwon]: we donât have to talk about jake just pls let me know where you are
[November 18th, 6:59 PM]
[avi to-toilet texters]: iâm done with the private messages
[avi to-toilet texters]: where are you y/n this isnât funny.
[beomgyu to-toilet texters]: weâre not mad we just want to make sure youâre okay
[November 18th, 7:39 PM]
[avi to-toilet texters]: shit guys iâm scared
[avi to-toilet texters]: should we call the cops?
[beomgyu to-toilet texters]: wait letâs try her location first
[avi to-toilet texters]: âŠdo you seriously think jungwon and i haven't tried that already?
[beomgyu to-toilet texters]: fuck
[beomgyu to-toilet texters]: iâm sorry iâm just freaking out this isnât like her
[jungwon to-toilet texters]: i just checked all over campus
[jungwon to-toilet texters]: sheâs not here
[avi to-toilet texters]: fuck
[beomgyu to-toilet texters]: fuck
[avi to-toilet texters]: this is the jake effect.
[avi to-toilet texters]: he shows up for two seconds and now look
[beomgyu to-toilet texters]: aviâŠ
To say you were embarrassed would be an understatement. You quickly responded to the groupchat letting them know about your whereabouts and the circumstances as to why it took you so long to get back to them. None of them were pleased.
Apparently, Jungwon and Beomgyu were only a minute away from marching down to the police station to file a missing persons report. Avi didnât hold back her anger and annoyance with you. The second you responded to the group chat with your measly apology she was calling you and going in over the phone.You shiver as you think back to her cold words.
"You've really done it this time, haven't you?" she snaps, her tone cutting through the air like a knife. "I can't believe you'd be so reckless, so selfish. And for what? For that jerk?"
Her words strike a nerve, a pang of guilt twisting in your chest as you struggle to find the right response. But before you can gather your thoughts, Avi's tirade continues, her voice growing more heated with each passing moment.
"You're no better than him, you know," she continues, her words heavy with disdain. "Hurting Jungwon like that, just to chase after some guy who doesn't give a damn about you? You two deserve each other."
The weight of her words hangs heavy in the air, a painful reminder of the rift between you and your friends.
"I'm sorry, Avi," you whisper, your voice barely above a whisper. "I never meant to hurt anyone. But please, try to understand..."
But before you can finish, Avi cuts you off, her voice cold and dismissive. âTry to understand? ____, Jungwon was ready to call the cops!"
You wince at her words, the guilt weighing heavily on your shoulders. "I-I'm sorry, Avi," you stammer, your voice barely above a whisper. "I didn't mean to worry you guys. It's just... things got complicated."
"Complicated?" Avi scoffs, her disbelief evident. "You mean you were too wrapped up in Sim Jaeyun to even bother letting us know you were okay?"
Tears prickle at the corners of your eyes as you listen to her words, the reality of the situation hitting you like a punch to the gut. "I'm sorry," you repeat, your voice trembling with emotion. "I didn't mean to hurt you guys. I just... I needed some time to figure things out."
"I don't want to hear it," she snaps, her tone final. "Jungwon didnât deserve what you did to him. You deserve the inevitable pain that comes with Jake."
With that, she ended the call, leaving you reeling in the aftermath of her anger. That was four days ago. Out of shame youâve been hiding out in Jakeâs dorm, too embarrassed to even show your face on your own campus. Jake, having heard the heated conversation from his seated position next to you on his couch, offered to let you sleep over until Avi cooled down and you felt more comfortable to go home.
But as the days come to pass you donât think youâll ever be ready to go back home. If there even is a home for you to go back to. Every night you fall asleep thinking of your friends and how youâve messed things up, how theyâre doing, if they miss you as much as you miss them, if theyâll ever forgive you. Especially Jungwon.
He just wonât leave your thoughts. You wake up thinking of him and fall asleep dreaming of him. You know eventually youâll have to man up and make amends with him but a part of you fears youâve messed up too greatly this time. That Jungwon no longer wants anything to do with you and you canât blame him for that.
You led him on and let him hold onto the false narrative of the two of you becoming something only to leave him in the dust once Jake came around. Thereâs an unsettling feeling bubbling up in your chest as you once again analyze your decisions.
Youâre happy with Jake, right? This is what youâve always wanted and yet you have this gut feeling youâve made the biggest mistake of your life.
âYouâre thinking too loudly, babe, please go to sleep.â Jake mumbles while yawning, pulling you closer. âIâm sure itâs nothing.â
You hope so, too.

Present day | November 22nd
âWake up!â
The sound of Jay's cheerful voice breaks through the haze of sleep, pulling you from the comfort of Jake's embrace. With a soft groan, you bury your face deeper into the warmth of the blankets, reluctant to leave the cocoon you've found.
"Wake up sleepy heads!" Jay's voice calls again, this time accompanied by the gentle shake of your shoulder.
Reluctantly, you peel open your eyes, blinking against the intrusion of light filtering in through the window. Jake stirs beside you, his arm tightening around your waist in a silent bid for you to stay a little longer.
But with a sigh, you muster the strength to sit up, rubbing the sleep from your eyes as you glance at Jay with a sheepish smile. "Morning," you mumble, your voice thick with sleep.
Jay grins back at you, his eyes sparkling with mischief as he gestures towards the clock on the wall. "Come on, you two. Sunghoon and Heeseung are waiting, and I made breakfast!"
The mention of food perks up Jake's interest, and he shoots you a playful grin before swinging his legs over the edge of the bed. "You heard the man," he says, his voice laced with excitement. "Let's go eat!"
With a shared laugh, you and Jake follow Jay out of the bedroom and into the cozy kitchenette of their dorm. The scent of freshly cooked pancakes fills the air, mingling with the aroma of brewing coffee as Jay sets the table with an infectious energy.
As you settle down to breakfast with Jake and Jay, the warmth of their friendship washes over you, bringing you genuine joy with their connection.
As you sip your coffee and dig into the delicious pancakes Jay prepared, you find yourself reflecting on the bond you've been forming with him over the past couple of days. It wasnât easy at first, considering the tension that arose between him and Beomgyu at the party. But Jay's sincere apology and explanation about his protective nature towards Jake helped to ease the tension.
You remember how he had approached you two days ago, a sheepish smile on his face as he apologized for his near fight with Beomgyu. His explanation had made sense, and his genuine remorse had been evident. Jay's willingness to take responsibility for his actions had impressed you, and it had been the first step towards building trust between you.
And then, there was his joke about nearly stealing you away from Jake at the party, a playful comment that had brought a smile to your lips. Despite the initial awkwardness between you, Jay's sense of humor had helped to break the ice and pave the way for a more comfortable interaction.
As you glance at Jay now, chatting animatedly with Jake as they discuss their plans for the day, you can't help but feel grateful for his presence in your life. His friendship has become an unexpected source of support and laughter, adding a new dynamic to your relationship with Jake.
With a newfound sense of appreciation for the friendship blossoming between you and Jay, you join in the conversation, eagerly anticipating the group hang out with Sunghoon and Heeseung.
With a curious glint in your eyes, you turn to Jay and Jake, the question lingering on the tip of your tongue. "What are Heeseung and Sunghoon like?" you inquire, eager to learn more about their friends.
Jay's grin widens at your question, his enthusiasm contagious. "Heeseungâs the mood maker," he begins, his voice filled with admiration. "He's the most social out of all of us and always knows how to keep the energy up."
Jake nods in agreement, a fond smile playing on his lips. "Yeah, Heeseung is on the basketball team, and he's got this natural charm that draws people to him," he adds. "You'll love him."
âAs for Sunghoon," Jay continues, his expression thoughtful, "he's a bit more reserved at first, but when you get to know him, he's a certified yapper. Once he warms up, he's got a lot to say."
Jake snorts, âyeah, if you thought I was bad Sunghoonâs worse, donât get him started on Yeji or anything skating related heâll never shut up.â
You perk up at the mention of another girl, âYeji? Is that his girlfriend?â
Jay nearly spits out his coffee and Jake doubles over from the force of his laughter.
You frown. âWhat, did I say something wrong?â
Jake shakes his head and wraps his arm around your shoulder to bring you in, âNo baby, Yeji is his little sister.â
Your mouth makes an O shape as it sinks in why they were so amused, âmy bad.â You sheepishly murmur.
Jay wipes away a tear of laughter as he recovers, still chuckling. "No worries, happens to the best of us."
Jake gives you a reassuring squeeze before releasing you. "Yeah, Sunghoon practically worships the ground his little sister walks on," he explains, his laughter subsiding into a warm smile. "You'll see what we mean when you meet him."
With the misunderstanding cleared up, you finish up breakfast with Jake and Jay, the lively conversation and laughter filling the small kitchenette. As the last of the dishes are washed and dried, you make your way back to Jake's room to get ready for the day ahead.
As you rummage through your limited selection of clothes, Jake enters the room with a mischievous glint in his eyes. "I've got something for you," he says, holding up a small shopping bag.
Curious, you peek inside to find a Harvard hoodie nestled within. It's maroon with the school's name printed on the front with its emblem up in the corner. You stare at the hoodie, not sure what to make of it. "Jake, you didn't have to..."
He cuts you off with a grin. "I wanted to," he insists, his eyes warm with affection. âI have a matching one, plus if you do decide to transfer you need to have a Harvard hoodie, itâs a rite of passage here!â
Your hum as your mind flashes back to the conversation you had with Jake a few days ago.
You were walking through Harvardâs campus on your way to his dorm. The imposing, ivy-covered buildings made you feel out of place, a stark reminder that this had once been your dream school.Â
"I still can't believe you're here," you had said, half in awe and half in melancholy. "I used to imagine myself walking these paths every day."
Jake had looked at you, his expression serious. "You could still be here, you know. Transferring is always an option."
You had laughed then, a little bitterly. "It's not that simple, Jake. I have friends at Northeastern, a life... And Harvard feels so far away now."
Jake had stopped walking, turning to face you. "But if it makes you happy, isn't it worth considering? We could be together, and you'd finally be living your dream."
You had sighed, looking away. "I don't know, Jake. It's a lot to think about."
Shaking off the memory, you manage a small smile, touched nonetheless by the sentiment of his gift. "Thanks, Jake. I appreciate it," you say, your mind still swirling with conflicting emotions. On one hand, the thought of transferring to Harvard, being with Jake, and starting fresh is appealing. But on the other hand, the guilt of potentially betraying Avi, Jungwon, and Beomgyu tugs at your heart. They were your first friends here, and you canât picture a life where theyâre not in it.
As you slip on the hoodie, a comfortable warmth spreads through you, though it does little to ease the turmoil inside. Jake watches you, his smile faltering slightly as he notices your pensive expression.
"Hey," he says softly, breaking the silence. "Have you given it any more thought? Transferring, I mean."
You take a deep breath, turning to face him. "Honestly, no. I haven't really had the chance to think it through."
Jake's face softens, and he steps closer, taking your hands in his. "I understand. It's a big decision. But can you promise me one thing?"
"What?" you ask, your voice barely above a whisper.
"Promise me that you'll at least think about it. Not for me, but for yourself. You deserve to follow your dreams, and I don't want you to have any regrets."
You look into his earnest eyes, feeling a mix of gratitude and guilt. "I promise, Jake. I'll think about it."
He smiles, squeezing your hands gently. "That's all I ask."
You take another deep breath, pushing aside your worries for now. "Ready to go meet your friends?" you ask, trying to keep your voice light.
Jake nods, his smile widening. "Yeah, they're excited to meet you. The MFA is going to be amazing."
You grab your tote bag and head towards the door with him once he finishes getting dressed. As you step out into the hallway, you can't help but glance back at the dorm room you've been staying in, wondering how long you'll be caught between two worlds.
You join Jay in the living room, where he's waiting with the keys to his car in hand. "Ready to go?" he asks, flashing you a grin.
You nod eagerly, excitement bubbling within you as you anticipate the day ahead. With a final glance around the room, you follow Jay and Jake out of the dorm and into the chilly afternoon, ready to meet the people Jake considers his closest friends now.
As you pile into Jay's car, the excitement in the air is palpable. Jake takes the driver's seat, you settle into the passenger side, and Jay slides into the back, sandwiched between you. The engine roars to life, and with a grin from Jake, the car pulls out onto the road.
The ride is short but lively, filled with laughter and playful banter as you share stories and jokes. The music blasts from the speakers, a mishmash of songs from all your playlists, creating the perfect soundtrack for the journey. You find yourself singing along to familiar tunes, feeling the carefree joy of the moment wash over you.
Before you know it, Jake is pulling into a parking spot near the Museum of Fine Arts, and you all pile out of the car, eager to explore the exhibits.
Heeseung and Sunghoon are already waiting by the ticket booth, chatting animatedly as they purchase the tickets for the group. Heeseung's infectious smile lights up his face as he catches sight of you, and he waves enthusiastically.
"Jay! Jake!" he calls out, his voice friendly and welcoming. "Glad you could make it. I've been looking forward to finally meeting the ever so famous, ____ ."
Jake returns his smile with one of his own. "Aye~ chill out." he replies, his tone filled with a hint of embarrassment.
Sunghoon joins in, his own smile warm and inviting. "Nice to meet you," he says, nodding in your direction. "Jake's been talking about you nonstop."
You chuckle at the teasing remark, feeling a sense of ease settle over you in their presence. Despite the nerves that come with meeting new people, Heeseung and Sunghoon's friendly demeanor puts you at ease, and you can't help but feel excited for the day ahead.
With tickets in hand, you all make your way into the museum, ready to immerse yourselves in the world of art and culture.
As your group strolls through the museum, the array of artwork captivates your attention. Jake and Sunghoon, engrossed in the intricate details of Japanese art, wander ahead, their conversation a mix of admiration and fascination. Jay, however, lags a bit behind, his steps deliberate as he scrutinizes each piece with a keen eye.
Meanwhile, Heeseung and you find yourselves falling into step, engaged in a conversation about Jake. Heeseung's relief is palpable as he expresses his happiness about the reconciliation between you and Jake.
"He's been so happy lately," Heeseung confides, his voice filled with genuine happiness for his friend. "I'm really glad you two made up. It's like a weight has been lifted off his shoulders."
You nod in understanding. "Yeah, I'm glad we cleared the air. It feels good to be back on good terms."
Heeseung's smile widens, his eyes reflecting warmth. "You have no idea how much it means to him," he assures you.
You smile, not sure what to say in response. Sensing this Heeseung changes the topic.
âSo, how do you like Boston?â
âItâs great! Thereâs so much to do. My friends and I love going to Newbury for the food festivals.â You say, a small smile on your face at the chance of talking about your friends.
Heeseung nods. âThat sounds fun. Have you been to Allston yet? The kbbq there is incredible.â
âNot yet, but itâs on my list,â you reply. âJake keeps promising to take me.â
Heeseung chuckles. âHeâd better. Itâs a must-see.â
As you continue walking through the museum, admiring the exhibits, a wave of guilt washes over you as you stare at the back of Jakeâs head. Memories of the previous night flood your mind, the warmth of Jake's embrace juxtaposed with the lingering doubts about your feelings for Jungwon.
Caught between the past and the present, you struggle to push aside the nagging thoughts that something isnât right.
Heeseung glances at you before clearing his throat to ask, âare you transferring to Harvard?â
Caught off guard, you shake your head. âWhy do you ask?â
His eyes shift down to the hoodie and understanding dawns on you.
âOh. No, it was a gift from Jake. Iâm still at Northeastern.â
Heeseung nods thoughtfully. âMakes sense. But you know, if you did transfer, it would probably help Jake a lot.â
You furrow your brow in confusion. âHelp him? How?â
Heeseungâs brows pinch together as he frowns, "his sobriety?â
The revelation hits you like a ton of bricks, leaving you momentarily speechless as you stop walking. You had no idea that Jake had ever struggled with substance abuse.
Heeseung's face slowly falls as he realizes his mistake, cursing softly under his breath as he realizes he's dropped a bombshell on you without warning. "I'm sorry," he says, his voice tinged with regret. "I shouldn't have just blurted that out like that, I thought he told you."
You shake your head, trying to process the newfound information while also feeling a pang of sympathy for Heeseung's evident discomfort. "No, it's okay," you assure him, offering a reassuring smile despite the whirlwind of emotions churning within you.
Heeseung's expression softens, gratitude evident in his eyes as he meets your gaze. "Thanks," he murmurs, a note of relief in his voice. "Iâm sure heâll tell you soon, heâs been meaning to."
You nod in understanding, the weight of Heeseung's words sinking in as you come to terms with the realization that there's still so much about Jake's life that you don't know. "I'll wait for him to bring it up," you promise.
With a grateful smile, Heeseung bumps you on the shoulder before turning to rejoin the rest of the group, leaving you alone with your thoughts amidst the bustling museum crowds.
As the group continues to explore the museum, you find it increasingly difficult to focus on the artwork around you. You think about Jakeâs struggles and the possibility of transferring to Harvard. While the idea of being there to support him is compelling, you canât ignore the nagging guilt about Avi, Jungwon, and Beomgyu. Theyâve always been there for you, and you donât want to let them down by choosing Jake yet again.
Despite the vibrant chatter and laughter of your friends, you feel a growing sense of unease gnawing at your conscience.
When Jake suggests grabbing some food from El Jefe, your stomach churns with conflicting emotions. The prospect of spending more time with your newfound friends is enticing, but the memories of late nights at that very restaurant with Jungwon after studying all night fills you with sadness.
As you follow the group out of the museum and into the chilly streets of Boston, you realize just how close you are to your dorm. A pang of sadness tugs at your heart as you remember Avi and Beomgyu as well, wondering what theyâre up to. The thought of facing them again fills you with apprehension, yet a part of you longs for the familiarity of their company.
As you approach El Jefe, the scent of delicious Mexican food wafts through the air, tempting your taste buds but as you guys gather around a table, eagerly discussing the meal choices, you find yourself hesitating.
"I think I'm gonna pass on lunch," you murmur, your voice barely above a whisper as you address Jake and the others. "I... I need to take care of something."
Jake's brow furrows with concern as he meets your gaze, sensing the sudden shift in your demeanor. "Are you okay?" he asks, his voice filled with genuine worry.
You force a smile, though it feels strained on your lips. "Yeah, I'll be fine," you assure him, though the lie tastes bitter in your mouth.
Heeseung, Jay, and Sunghoon exchange puzzled glances, sensing the tension in the air. But before anyone can question you further, you push back your chair and rise to your feet, the need for solitude outweighing the discomfort of their curious stares.
"Sorry, I just... I need to talk to someone," you explain vaguely, not wanting to burden them with the weight of your emotions.
Jake's expression softens with understanding, and he nods in silent acknowledgment of your unspoken plea. "Take all the time you need," he says gently, reaching out to squeeze your hand in a silent gesture of support.
With a grateful smile, you offer him a nod before turning on your heel and making your way out of the restaurant, the familiar ache of loneliness lingering in your chest.
First, you head to Wollaston's to buy cherry gummy bears for Jungwon. The bright, familiar packaging gives you a momentary sense of comfort, a small reminder of the inside jokes and shared moments with your friends.
With the gummy bears safely tucked into your bag, you make your way to your dorm room, your heart pounding with a mix of anticipation and anxiety.
Taking a deep breath, you push open the door and step into the lit hallway, the sound of your footsteps echoing against the walls. With each step, the tension in your shoulders mounts, the anticipation of facing Avi after so long weighing heavily on your mind.
Finally, you reach your dorm and let yourself in. You spot Aviâs shoes at the entrance, proving sheâs home, but you find the little living room and kitchen empty, meaning sheâs in her room. You walk up to her door and pause for a moment, gathering your thoughts before raising your hand to knock. The seconds tick by agonizingly slow, the silence stretching between you like a chasm.
Then, the door swings open, and there she stands, with her piercing gaze and arms crossed tightly across her chest. The tension in the air is palpable as you meet her eyes, the weight of unspoken words hanging heavy between you.
âAvi, can we talk?â you ask softly, stepping into the room.
Avi looks down, her eyes narrowing when she notices the Harvard hoodie. âWhat do you want?â she asks, her tone guarded.
âI know youâre upset, and you have every right to be,â you start, taking a deep breath. âIâve been so wrapped up in Jake that Iâve neglected you and everyone else. Iâm really sorry.â
Aviâs eyes flicker with uncertainty. âYouâre wearing a Harvard hoodie. Are you already planning to leave us?â
âNo,â you say quickly, shaking your head. âIt was a gift from Jake. He talked to me about transferring, but I donât want to leave my friends. You all mean too much to me.â
Avi studies you for a moment, her expression softening just a bit. âIt feels like youâve already left us, though.â
âI know,â you admit, feeling the sting of her words. âAnd Iâm really sorry. Iâve been a terrible friend. But I want to make it right.â
Before Avi can respond, you hear a familiar voice from behind her. âSheâs telling the truth, Avi,â Beomgyu says, coming into view. Heâs sitting on the other side of her bed, partially hidden by her fugue. âShe seems sincere.â
You turn to Beomgyu, your heart aching. âIâm so sorry, Beomgyu. Iâve been awful to you all, and I donât deserve your forgiveness, but Iâm asking for it anyway. Please, give me a chance to make things right.â
Beomgyu looks at Avi, who sighs and nods slightly. He then turns back to you. âItâs going to take time, but I think we can give you that chance.â
Relief floods through you, and you feel tears pricking at the corners of your eyes. âThank you. I promise Iâll do better.â
Avi gets up and walks over to you, pulling you into a hesitant hug. âJust donât disappear on us again, okay?â
You nod, hugging her tightly. âI wonât. I promise.â
Beomgyu joins the hug, and for a moment, the three of you stand there, holding onto each other. When you finally pull away, you wipe your eyes and smile.
Avi breaks the silence with a question that catches you off guard. "So, how are things with Jake?" she asks, her tone hesitant yet curious.
Avi's question lingers in the air, and you take a moment to gather your thoughts before responding. "Things with Jake... they're actually going better than I thought," you admit, a small smile tugging at the corners of your lips. "I've met all of his friends, and they're actually really sweet."
Avi's eyebrows raise in surprise, though there's a hint of skepticism in her expression. "Really? Even Jay?" she asks, her voice laced with doubt.
You nod, feeling a pang of guilt at the mention of Jay's name. "Yeah, even Jay," you confirm. "He's been... really nice to me." You turn to Beomgyu. âHe even apologized for how he came at you at the party. I'm sure if he saw you again, he'd apologize to you as well.â
Beomgyu nods softly and shrugs. âWater under the bridge? I'm glad you guys are getting along."
You offer Beomgyu a grateful smile before turning back to Avi. "I know we've got a lot to catch up on, but there's one more person I need to make amends with," you explain, your voice tinged with regret. "I need to talk to Jungwon."
Avi's expression softens at the mention of Jungwon's name, understanding dawning in her eyes. "Yeah, you do," she agrees quietly. "But take your time. He'll come around."
You nod and turn to Beomgyu who offers you a tight-lipped smile. âHe should be in our room. Heâs probably packing for Thanksgiving break,â Beomgyu offers as he lays back down on Aviâs bed. Your brows furrow at that.
âHeâs going back to Korea?â
Beomgyu hums. âSaid he needs the mental break.â
Avi sighs, sitting back down beside Beomgyu. âI was hoping we could all spend Thanksgiving together like we planned but I get he needs space.â
âI know,â you say, feeling a pang of guilt. âI didnât realize things had gotten so bad for him.â
Beomgyuâs eyes soften. âHeâs been really stressed. With everything thatâs been happening, I think he just needs to get away and clear his head.â
âMaybe talking to him will help,â Avi suggests. âEven if heâs leaving, he deserves to know how much you care.â
You nod, taking a deep breath. âI hope so. I really donât want to lose him as a friend.â
Beomgyu gives you a reassuring smile. âJust be honest with him. Heâll appreciate that, even if heâs still upset.â
âThanks, Beomgyu,â you say softly. âIâm going to go talk to him now.â
Avi stands and gives you another quick hug. âGood luck. Weâll be here if you need us.â
With a nod, you leave Aviâs room and your dorm all together, your heart heavy. As you walk down the hallway towards Beomgyu and Jungwonâs shared dorm, your mind races with thoughts of how to approach Jungwon. The closer you get, the more you feel the weight of your actions and their impact on your friends.
When you reach your destination, the door is slightly ajar. You push it open gently and see Jungwon inside, methodically folding clothes and placing them into his suitcase in the living room. The sight of him packing feels like a punch to the gut, knowing that his departure is partly your fault.
âJungwon,â you start tentatively, stepping inside.
He doesnât look up, his movements precise and mechanical. âWhat do you want?â
âI came to apologize,â you say, holding out the gummy bears. âAnd I brought these. I know theyâre your favorite.â
Jungwon glances at the gummy bears, then back to his suitcase. âYou think gummy bears are going to fix this?â
âNo,â you say quickly. âI just wanted to show you that I care. Iâve been a terrible friend, and I know Iâve hurt you.â
He finally stops packing and looks at you, his expression a mix of hurt and anger. âDo you even realize what youâve done? Itâs like we donât matter to you.â
âThatâs not true,â you say, your voice trembling. âYou mean the world to me.â
Jungwon shakes his head. âIf we meant so much to you, you wouldnât have treated us like this. Do you know how it feels to watch the girl youâre in love with settle for some douchebag like Jake?â
Your breath catches. âJungwon, I didnât knowâŠâ
âOf course you didnât,â he snaps. âBecause you never took the time to see what was right in front of you. You were too busy chasing after Jake.â
âJungwon, IâŠâ you trail off, trying to find the right words. âIâm so sorry. I didnât mean to hurt you.â
He scoffs. âYou didnât mean to, but you did. Over and over again. And the worst part is, you donât even see it. The way you so willingly left Avi, Beomgyu, and me behind for Jake is alarming. I never knew you were this self-absorbed.â
Tears well up in your eyes. âJungwon, please. Iâm trying to make things right.â
He sighs, looking more tired than angry now. âYou canât just come back and expect everything to be okay. It doesnât work like that. Itâs not fair.â
âI know,â you say, your voice breaking. âBut Iâm willing to do whatever it takes to earn your forgiveness.â
Jungwon stares at you for a long moment. âIf you want my forgiveness, you need to make a choice. Him or me.â
Your heart sinks. âJungwon, please donât make me choose.â
âIâm serious,â he says, his voice cold.
Desperate, you try to shift the conversation. âWhat about our Thanksgiving plans?â
Jungwon scoffs. âSpend it with Jake,â he retorts, his gaze flicking to the Harvard hoodie youâre wearing. âYou know, the one who got you that hoodie. Remember when you said Harvard was your past and you were ready to focus on me and Northeastern? What a load of crap.â
You feel a surge of desperation. âJungwon, please. I was confused. I didnât know this would happen!â
âOh, you didnât know?â His voice rises, frustration clear. âThatâs such bullshit! First you picked Jake over us, it was like a slap in the face. And now, you show up wearing that hoodie, like itâs some badge of honor.â
âItâs just a hoodie,â you protest weakly. âIt doesnât mean anything.â
âIt means everything!â Jungwon shouts, slamming his suitcase shut. âItâs a symbol of all the times you put Jake first. You said you were done with Harvard, done with him being your priority, but here we are.â
âJungwon, Iâm sorry,â you plead, tears streaming down your face. âI never meant to hurt you. I love you, Avi, and Beomgyu. Youâre my best friends.â
âThen why do you treat us like weâre second best?â he demands, his voice breaking. âWhy did you lie to me?â
âI didnât lie,â you whisper. âI was just⊠lost. Jake is my first love, and I got caught up in that. But you, Avi, and Beomgyu are my family. I donât want to lose you.â
Jungwonâs expression softens for a brief moment, but then hardens again. âYou already have,â he says quietly. âYouâve pushed me away too many times. I canât trust you anymore.â
âWhat can I do?â you ask, desperation lacing your voice. âTell me, and Iâll do it.â
âIf you want my forgiveness, you need to make a choice. Him or me,â he repeats firmly.
âJungwon, please,â you beg. âDonât make me choose.â
âIâm serious,â he says, his voice cold. âI canât watch you destroy yourself over Jake. So, make a choice.â
You stand there, speechless and trembling, the weight of his ultimatum pressing down on you. Jungwon looks away, his expression hardened. âJust go. I need to finish packing.â
Desperate and broken, you try one last time. âJungwon, pleaseâŠâ
But heâs already turned his back on you, continuing to pack as if you arenât there. With a heavy heart, you turn and leave the dorm, feeling more lost and alone than ever. As you walk down the hallway back to your room, the tears finally spill over, blurring your vision. The realization that you might have just lost one of your closest friends hits you hard.
The door to your dorm opens again, and Avi steps out, her face soft with concern. She takes one look at your tear-streaked face and pulls you into another hug, her grip tight and reassuring. âItâs going to be okay,â she whispers, her voice steady. âWeâll figure this out together.â
Beomgyu joins the two of you, âWeâre here for you,â he says quietly. âNo matter what happens.â
You take a shaky breath, still enveloped in Aviâs comforting embrace. âI donât understand why Jungwon was so cold and closed off,â you say, your voice trembling, not used to being on the receiving end of his anger.
Avi pulls back slightly, enough to look you in the eyes. âItâs a given heâs upset. Youâre important to him, and he feels hurt and betrayed. But that doesnât mean he wonât come around. He just needs time.â
Beomgyu nods in agreement. âJungwonâs always been the calm and understanding one, but everyone has their breaking point. Heâs just reached his. Give him some space to process everything. He loves you too much to stay mad forever.â
You nod, feeling a glimmer of hope through the despair. âI just wish I hadnât hurt him so badly.â
âWe all make mistakes,â Avi says gently. âAt least youâre trying to make up for it now.â
Beomgyu pats your shoulder. âYeah, plus weâre here to help you.â
A small smile forms on your lips as you take in their words. âThank you, both of you. I donât know what Iâd do without you.â
Avi squeezes your hand. âYou donât have to worry about that because weâre not going anywhere. Weâll get through this together.â
Feeling a bit lighter, you take a deep breath and straighten up. âI need to figure out how to fix things with Jungwon. But for now, I guess I should let him have his space.â
âThatâs a good idea,â Beomgyu agrees. âLet him cool down. In the meantime, letâs focus on spending some time together. Weâve missed you.â
âYeah,â Avi adds, her tone brightening. âLetâs do something fun.â
You smile, feeling a bit of the tension ease from your shoulders. âIâd like that. Iâve missed you guys too.â
With Avi and Beomgyu by your side, you start to walk back towards your bedroom.

November 28th | Thanksgiving Day
âThis isnât how I pictured Friendsgiving going.â Avi clears her throat, breaking the tense silence.Â
You look around the room, taking in the scene. Your dorm is filled with people, but the atmosphere is anything but festive. Jake, Heeseung, Jay, and Sunghoon are here, along with Avi, Beomgyu, and yourself. The idea had been to merge friend groups for Thanksgiving/Chuseok, a suggestion from Avi and Beomgyu in an attempt to bridge the growing divide for your sake. But now, everyone sits awkwardly on the floor, picking at their side dishes, unsure of what to do or say.
Beomgyu is the next to break the silence. âHow about we play a drinking game?â he offers, a hint of forced enthusiasm in his voice. âMight help loosen the tension.â
You sneak a glance at Jake, curious to see his reaction. He still hasnât told you about his sobriety, and you wonder how heâll handle this situation.
Jake looks around at the expectant faces, then clears his throat. âI donât drink,â he says simply, his voice steady. âBut I donât mind if others do. Iâll just stick to the mocktails.â He offers a small smile and raises his glass of the non-alcoholic concoction you and Avi had prepared earlier.
You nod, making a mental note to ask him about it later, despite the promise you made to Heeseung not to mention it. The curiosity is too overwhelming to ignore.
Avi looks around, trying to salvage the situation. âOkay, mocktails for some, drinks for others. Letâs just try to have a good time.â
Heeseung nods. âWhat about Truth or Drink? Itâs a good way to get to know each other better.â
Everyone exchanges glances, and after a moment, nods of agreement ripple through the group. Heeseung takes charge, explaining the rules quickly. âYou either answer the question honestly, or you take a drink. Simple as that.â
The first few rounds are tentative, with everyone choosing relatively safe questions. Gradually, the atmosphere lightens as laughter and teasing fill the room.
Jay looks at Avi. âWhatâs the most embarrassing thing thatâs ever happened to you?â
Avi laughs, her cheeks flushing as she recounts a story about a high school talent show gone wrong. The room erupts in laughter, and for the first time, the tension seems to dissipate.
During Sunghoonâs turn, you excuse yourself to get a refill of more banchan from the kitchen. Avi joins you, leaning against the counter as you gather the dishes.
âYou know,â Avi says, her voice low so it doesnât carry back to the others, âJake and his friends arenât all that bad.â
You glance at her, surprised but pleased. âYeah, theyâre really nice once you get to know them.â
Avi nods, then her expression turns somber. âI just wish Jungwon was here. Celebrating Chuseok was for him, after all. He was starting to get homesick after missing Chuseok with his family.â
A pang of sadness hits you at the reminder. You take a deep breath, trying to push away the ache in your chest. âI know. I miss him too. But at least he gets to celebrate a real Chuseok with his family.â
Avi gives you a small, sympathetic smile. âYeah, I guess youâre right. Itâs just not the same without him.â
You nod, trying to focus on the positive. âWeâll see him soon enough. And who knows? Maybe things will be better by then.â
Returning to the group with the banchan, you notice the warm, friendly atmosphere that has developed. Jake catches your eye and smiles, after placing down the ceramic serving dish you take a seat beside him.
As the game continues, Jay looks over at you and Jake. âYou two make a really cute couple, you know that?â
Before you can respond, Sunghoon and Beomgyu, both tipsy, start hugging each other and pretending to make out, mimicking a couple to tease you and Jake. Everyone bursts into laughter, the playful antics breaking any remaining tension in the room.
Avi playfully rolls her eyes. âAlright, boys, cut it out,â she says with a grin. She glances at the clock on the wall and her eyes widen slightly. âShit, itâs late. If you guys want, you can sleep over.â
The boys thank her, and the sleeping arrangements are quickly sorted out. Heeseung claims the couch, Sunghoon opts for the blow-up mattress on the floor, and Beomgyu, as always, takes his usual spot in Aviâs room. That leaves Jake and you to share your room.
As you and Jake get up to head to bed, the teasing starts again. âOh, look at the lovebirds,â Sunghoon calls out, grinning mischievously.
âDonât have too much fun in there,â Beomgyu adds with a wink.
Avi smirks. âRemember, the walls are thin. Iâd appreciate it if Jake could keep his hands to himself tonight.â
Heeseung scoffs, laughing. âJake doesnât know what it means to keep his hands to himself.â
Jake rolls his eyes but canât help but laugh along with everyone. âFuck off,â he says, taking your hand as you both head to your room, the playful teasing still echoing in your ears.
Once inside your room, you close the door and turn to Jake, whoâs still smiling. âThat was fun,â he says, wrapping an arm around your waist.
âYeah, it was,â you agree, leaning into him. âIâm really glad everyoneâs getting along.â
Jake nods, his expression softening. âMe too. It means a lot to me.â
He steps back and strips off his shirt, revealing the well-defined muscles beneath. He climbs into your bed, his arms wide open in an inviting gesture. You slide in beside him, curling up on his chest. The warmth of his skin against yours is comforting, and you find yourself drawing little shapes on his chest with your finger. He sighs contentedly, pulling you in closer and kissing the top of your head.
âIâm so thankful for this second chance,â he whispers.
You place a soft kiss on his collarbone. âIâm happy too,â you reply, your voice barely above a whisper.
Jake waits a beat before pushing you away slightly, his expression turning serious. âI need to tell you something,â he says.
Your heart skips a beat. âWhat is it?â
He takes a deep breath. âThe summer before you started at Northeastern, I went back home to Australia. I wanted to make amends, but I found out from my mom how hard you took it when I left. I didnât realize how much I hurt you until then. When I heard that you didnât get into Harvard, I felt like I had ruined everything for you. I was crushed.â
You stay silent, listening intently as he continues.
âWhen I came back, I started drinking and smoking. I even got into LSD. It got to a point where I would wake up, smoke a preroll, go back to bed, wake up again, smoke the remainder, then go about my day and probably smoke another five more times. I drank a lot to forget you and the pain I caused.â
You feel a lump form in your throat as tears well up in your eyes. Jakeâs voice trembles slightly as he recounts his past.
âThere was this party⊠I got so crossfaded that I passed out and was unresponsive for over twenty minutes. That was the turning point. Jay cried and begged me to stop. Said he didnât want to see me dead. Thatâs why weâre so close. He even gave up drinking for a while to help me out, and Heeseung and Sunghoon gave up parties to support me. Theyâre like brothers to me, not just friends.â
By now, silent tears are streaming down your face. Jake gently wipes them away, his eyes filled with concern and vulnerability.
âI understand if this changes things for you,â he says softly. âBut I needed to tell you.â
You shake your head, your emotions overwhelming you. Leaning in, you kiss him hard, pouring all your feelings into that kiss. When you finally pull away, you look into his eyes, your voice firm and resolute.
âIt doesnât change anything, Jake. If anything, it makes me love you more for your honesty.â
Jakeâs eyes glisten with unshed tears, and he pulls you into a tight embrace. âThank you,â he whispers.
You shift and move yourself onto his lap, straddling his waist, your knees on either side of his legs. You wrap your arms around his neck and place your lips onto his own pouty ones, kissing him slowly. Jake moves his hands to your waist, and grips them tightly before pulling away.
You pout at the loss of contact and move your head to the crook of his neck to place soft kisses there. Jake whines and grips your waist once again.
âB-baby wait.â
You sigh but pull away to look into his eyes.
âWe donât have to do anything we can just cuddle.â Jake says, rubbing slow circles onto your thigh. You shake your head.
âI want to.â
Jake stares into your eyes searching for any hesitance before asking one more time, âare you sure?â
You nod. âAs long as you promise to not leave me this time.â
Jake brings a hand up to your cheek and gently caresses it. âWouldnât dream of it.â
Jake's lips fall upon yours again, his lips moving in a frenzied fashion this time.
Instinctively, your arms wrap around his shoulders, pulling him closer into you. Jake lets out a soft growl against your lips before pulling away. Peppering kisses along your jaw, he trails down the column of your throat before nuzzling his face into the juncture of your shoulder.
"God- I've missed you," Jake whispers as he breathes in your calming scent. You place your hands in his hair threading the strands, you lazily play with the locks at the nape of his neck.
"I missed you too. A lot," you moan out as Jake begins to suckle bruises onto the tender flesh of your throat. Jake sucks in a sharp breath at the feeling of you tugging on his hair and immediately switches positions with you. He swiftly cages you between his body and the mattress before moving down to be level with your dripping pussy. You jerk at the sudden movement, your eyes widening at the sight of him.
Jake groans out as he runs his nose along the exposed flesh of your inner thigh. Your breath hitches at the sensation, Jakeâs large hands slowly wrap around your thighs before he parts your legs.
Running his nose against your panties, Jake takes in a deep breath before groaning as the scent of your arousal runs through his nose. He pushes your sleep shirt further up your hips, his lips gently kissing his way up the length of your thigh. Positioned just over your hip, Jake places a tender kiss above where your bone is. Then, he bites down on the waistband of your panties before slowly sliding it down your legs.
Gripping one of your thighs, he pulls it to rest over his shoulder, exposing your pussy even more. Jake shudders as the scent of your arousal deepens. Biting his lip, Jake edges closer to your folds before tentatively licking a line: all the way from your core to your clit.
âOh my gosh,â you groan out, your head lolling back while one of your hands shoots out to tangle into his thick hair. Hearing your low groan, Jake smirks against your pussy before repeating the action. Spikes of pleasure run up and down your spine, your eyelids fluttering as you lose yourself into the pleasure he brings upon your body.
Soft lips wrap around your clit, Jake pulls the sensitive bud into his mouth before lightly sucking on it. His ministrations cause you to gasp - the sound quickly morphing into a heavy moan when he nips your throbbing clit. Tangling your fingers further into his hair, you tug as hard as you can on his hair, trying to get him to move faster.
âJ-jake.â you whine needily, desperation heavy in the high pitch of your voice.
Jake pushes two fingers into you, your body jerks at the sudden intrusion as you tug at his hair reflexively. Twisting his fingers into you, Jake pumps his digits in and out, relishing in the feel of your pulsating walls around him as he continues eating you out.
âCumming-â you gasp out, your voice cracking under the pleasure.
âThen cum baby- cum all over my tongue. wanna taste you, â Jake urges. The filthiness of his words, paired with the way he harshly sucks your clit, instantly has you cumming.
You whine out his name, gasping for air, you slowly come down from the high of your orgasm. Jake patiently waits for you to come back to reality.
Once you catch your breath he moves up to place a soft kiss on your awaiting lips.
âHow are you feeling princess?â
You adjust your shirt to cover your lower half before responding. âGood.â
âWant to continue?â
You nod, âyes. Want to feel you inside me.â
Jake groans at your words. âDo you have a condom?â
You hum and nod your head towards your bedside drawer. âFirst shelf.â
Jake removes himself from you to walk towards the shelf and takes out the small foil before opening it and rolling the condom over his dick. Sighing at the feeling of finally touching himself. He gives himself a few tugs and makes sure the condom is secured before walking back to you.
Jakeâs cock is ready, heavy against his palm as he takes a hold of the base and spreads your legs apart. His chest is littered with beads of sweat. âYour pussy looks so fucking good.â He remarks, letting the pink tip of his dick rub against your wet folds. You both moan at the sensation.
With one more rub of his head, he lines himself against your entrance and slowly pushes his hips forward. You think you could come instantly again.
âFuck.â You let out as you place a hand on his chest, letting the feel of his cock overtake your entire body. He stops when heâs reached the hilt, careful to rock his hips out before slamming them back into you. You canât help but cry his name out.
âI wonât last long.â Jake whimpers, you move the hand on his chest to the back of his neck as you push his head forward to kiss you. He follows suit, beginning a rhythmic pace of his hips as you lose yourself further and further into him.
Jake kisses you feverishly, hot and wet against your mouth as he continues to rock in and out of you. His breaths labored, filthy words and curses escaping him as you clench around him with each thrust.
âNgh- not gonna last long either!â Youâre losing your mind, already close to a second orgasm. You know youâre going to come again soon.
Jake takes your legs and places your ankles on his shoulder, plummeting into you with a force so delicious, youâre about to go delirious
âFuck, turn around for me.â You do as requested, turning to your stomach. Jake pulls your ass up towards him and lines himself up once again. Without hesitation this time, he pushes into you.
âOh my gosh,â Jake is moaning out. He grabs a handful of your ass, using it as support while he rams into you with no plans of slowing down. The room is filled with the sound of your skin slapping and your shared moans. You have no doubt everyone can hear the two of you.
Jake reaches forward immediately gravitating towards your clit and rubs to bring you over the edge.
It doesnât take much longer before your heels are digging into the mattress and youâre cumming. You feel Jake still behind you as he releases into the condom.
You lay still, letting your cum dribble out of you as Jake pulls out.
âWas that okay?â Jake asks, leaning forward to kiss your shoulder. You nod in reassurance, twisting your head around so he can kiss your lips.
âMore than okay.â

The morning light filters softly through the blinds as you slide out of Jakeâs arms, careful not to wake him. You dress quickly and head to the kitchen, intent on starting breakfast for your guests. To your surprise, you find Jay already there, rummaging through the ingredients and setting up to make breakfast.
âJay?â you say, taken aback but not entirely surprised. He looks up and gives you a sheepish smile.
âHey,â he replies, cracking an egg into a bowl. âFigured Iâd get a head start.â
You smile and move to help him, grabbing a knife and starting to cut up some fruit. As you chop strawberries, the silence between you feels companionable. Finally, you muster the courage to speak up. âThank you.â
Jay glances up from the omelette heâs making, his brow furrowing in confusion. âFor what?â
You put down the knife and turn to face him fully. âThank you for taking care of Jake when I couldnât.â
Jayâs expression softens, and he shakes his head. âYou donât need to thank me. I love Jake. Heâs like a brother to me.â
You nod, appreciating his sincerity. You both return to your tasks, the kitchen filled with the sound of sizzling and chopping. After a moment, Jay speaks up again.
âAre you confident in your decision to be with Jake?â he asks gently.
You hesitate, your hands pausing mid-chop. Jay notices and quickly adds, âI wonât judge you, whatever your answer is.â
You take a deep breath, considering your words carefully. âIâm happy to finally have the boy Iâve always loved,â you begin slowly. âBut sometimes⊠sometimes I find myself thinking about Jungwon and what could have been.â
Jay nods, understanding in his eyes. âI get it. But you need to decide who you want to be with. Jake is fully invested in you, and Iâd hate to see him destroyed if you drag this out only to decide you want Jungwon in the end.â
His words hit hard, and you canât help but fall silent, lost in thought. The reality of your situation settles heavily on your shoulders. You return to chopping strawberries, your mind racing.
Jay reaches over and places a hand on your shoulder, giving it a reassuring squeeze. âWhatever you decide, just be honest with yourself and with them. Thatâs all anyone can ask.â
You nod, grateful for his words and his support. As the two of you finish preparing breakfast, you canât shake the feeling of uncertainty that lingers. With the fruit salad complete and the omelettes almost ready, you begin to bring the food out. As you enter the living room, Heeseung rises and shakes awake Sunghoom so they can take their seat on the floor as you bring in plates of food.
One by one, everyone makes their way to the living room, the aroma of breakfast drawing them in. Avi and Beomgyu are next, followed by Jay, who gives you a reassuring nod. Jake is the last to emerge, his hair tousled and a sleepy smile on his face. He takes a seat beside you, wrapping an arm around your shoulders.
The room falls into a comfortable silence as everyone starts to eat. But it doesnât last long.
Beomgyu is the first to break the silence. âYou two are disgusting,â he says, pointing his fork at you and Jake. âDo you know everyone heard you last night?â
Avi groans, covering her ears dramatically. âMy poor ears!â
Heeseung and Sunghoon join in, laughing and shaking their heads. âSeriously, guys,â Sunghoon says, rolling his eyes. âCouldnât you have kept it down a bit?â
You hide your face in Jakeâs chest, your cheeks burning with embarrassment. Jake chuckles, rubbing your back soothingly. âHey, come on,â he says, defending the two of you. âWe werenât that loud.â
Avi rolls her eyes playfully. âSure, Jake. Whatever helps you sleep at night.â
Heeseung smirks before letting the loudest moan rip from his throat. âfuck jakeâŠiâm not gonna last long.â He exclaims, his voice exaggerated and mocking.
Mortified, you cover your face with your hands, wishing the ground would swallow you up. âHeeseung, stop!â Jake says, trying to suppress his own laughter. âSeriously, guys, cut it out.â
But the rest of them join in, their laughter filling the room. Avi tries to hold back her giggles as she adds, âI swear, I thought you were filming a movie in there.â
Beomgyu grins, leaning into Sunghoon as they both mimic exaggerated kissing noises. âOh, Jake! Oh, yes!â Beomgyu echoes, clutching his sides in laughter.
You groan, burying your face even deeper into Jakeâs chest. âI canât believe this,â you mumble, your voice muffled.
Jakeâs arm tightens around you protectively. âAlright, alright, enough,â he says, trying to sound serious but failing to hide his amusement.
Heeseung, still giggling, wipes a tear from his eye. âSorry, we couldnât resist. But seriously, you guys are cute together.â
You peek out from behind your hands, your face still flushed. âThanks, I guess,â you mutter, trying to salvage some dignity.
Jake kisses the top of your head, whispering, âDonât worry about them. Theyâre just jealous.â
Beomgyu scoffs, âjealous? Please I can pull anyone.â
Avi snorts. âAnd yet youâre still bitchless.â

November 30th
Itâs now Saturday and you're out buying groceries, determined to do a dorm refresh. Itâs been a busy few days, and youâre looking forward to a quiet evening to reorganize your space and settle into some semblance of normalcy before classes start back up. With bags in hand, you make your way back to your dorm, already planning out how youâll spend the rest of the day.
As you approach your door, you notice a bouquet of peonies resting against the frame. You pause, staring at the flowers. You know theyâre from Jake. He used to give you peonies on your dates back in Australia, a sweet gesture that always made you smile. But now, they serve as a cutting reminder of how much has changed since Jake has been back in your life. Youâve hated peonies ever since he left.
Lost in your thoughts, you donât notice Jungwon coming in through the hallway with his suitcase behind him. He stops when he sees the flowers and then looks up at you.
âI wouldâve known to get you lilies,â he comments, his voice cutting through your reverie. âUnlike Jake.â
Youâre pulled out of your thoughts and make eye contact with Jungwon. Itâs silent for a second as you take him in, noting the travel weariness in his eyes.
âHow was Korea?â you ask tentatively.
Heâs vague and blunt with his answer. âFine.â
You shift on your feet, feeling the weight of the unspoken tension between you. âDid you have a good Chuseok?â
Jungwon nods, then looks at the peonies again before his gaze returns to you. âJake doesnât know anything about you,â he says, his tone sharp.
Before you can respond, he sidesteps you and enters his dorm, leaving you alone with your thoughts. You stare after him, the hurt in his words lingering in the air. Slowly, you bend down to pick up the bouquet. Carrying the peonies inside your dorm, you canât help but think about how much has changed and how complicated everything has become. You place the flowers on the counter, staring at them for a moment before you begin unpacking your groceries.
Determined to keep yourself preoccupied, you dive into cleaning the entire dorm. You scrub the floors, dust the shelves, and organize every corner until everything is spotless and in perfect order. The physical activity helps clear your mind, but the lingering thoughts and feelings remain just below the surface.
As you finish wiping down the kitchen counter, your phone buzzes with a text. Itâs from Avi.
[November 30th, 7:53 PM]
[avi]: hey, can you meet me at snell? i forgot my key :p
[you]: yeah what room number?
[avi]: 0119
Grabbing your keys, you head for the door. Just as youâre about to leave, another text comes in. This time, itâs from Jake.
[November 30th, 7:55 PM]
[jake]: did you receive my gift? :D
You pause, looking back at the peonies on the counter. After a moment of contemplation, you walk over to them, pick them up, and dump them in the trash. You text Jake back.
[November 30th, 7:57 PM]
[you]: yes, theyâre beautiful. thank you.
With that, you leave your dorm, locking the door behind you. As you make your way to the classroom to meet Avi, you try to push the confusion and hurt to the back of your mind.
When you arrive, Avi is waiting by the door, looking relieved to see you. âThank you so much for coming. I canât believe I forgot my key.â
âItâs no problem,â you reply, handing her the spare key youâve brought along.
Avi takes the key but doesn't move to grab her things right away. Instead, she looks at you with an expression of concern. âHey, Iâm really sorry... for everything. I love you, you know that, right?â
You furrow your brow in confusion. âOf course I know that. Why are you saying this now?â
Before you can react, Avi gives you a gentle but firm shove, pushing you into the classroom. The door slams shut behind you, and you hear the unmistakable sound of it being locked. You whirl around, banging on the door. âAvi! What the hell?â
From the other side of the door, you hear Aviâs voice, firm and resolute. âYouâre not allowed to leave until you make amends with Jungwon.â
âWhat?â you shout, turning back to face the room. Your eyes land on Jungwon, who is sitting at one of the desks, lazily twirling a pencil between his fingers. The sight of him only heightens your agitation.
You bang on the door again. âAvi, let me out! This isnât funny.â
Beomgyuâs face appears in the small window of the door. âNo can do. Weâre tired of you talking about how much you miss Jungwon and tired of him asking about you. You two need to hurry up and make up.â
The weight of their words sinks in as you slowly turn back to Jungwon, who has now stopped playing with the pencil and is watching you with a guarded expression. The tension in the room is palpable, and for a moment, neither of you speaks.
Finally, you break the silence. âJungwon, this is ridiculous. We donât have to do this.â
Jungwon raises an eyebrow. âDo you really think theyâll let us out if we donât?â
You take a deep breath, trying to calm your racing heart. âIâm sorry, okay? For everything. I know I hurt you, and Iâm really, really sorry.â
Jungwonâs expression remains neutral, but his eyes reveal the hurt and anger he still feels. âItâs not that simple.â
âI know,â you say softly, taking a tentative step towards him. âIâve been a terrible friend. I got caught up in everything with Jake and neglected the people who matter most to me. I hate that I did that to you.â
Jungwon looks down at the pencil in his hand, spinning it slowly. âItâs more than that. You led me on and had me think we could ever be something.â
Your heart sinks at his words. âJungwon, I never meant to lead you on. I didnât realize how you felt until it was too late.â
He scoffs, finally looking up at you. âHow could you not realize? I was always there for you, always trying to show you how much I cared. But you were too wrapped up in yourself to see it.â
You feel a flare of defensiveness rise within you. âJungwon, I told you from the start that I didnât do relationships. You knew that about me.â
Jungwonâs eyes narrow. âThen what was the point in telling me at the party you were ready to move on? If you knew you still didnât want to date, why give me the false hope?â
You falter, his words hitting harder than you expected. âIâŠI thought I was ready.â
He shakes his head, frustration evident. âBut you werenât. And in the process, you played with my feelings. Do you know how confusing and hurtful that is?â
âIâm sorry, Jungwon,â you say, your voice shaking. âI didnât mean to give you false hope. I genuinely meant what I said at the party! I wasnât expecting Jake to come back into my life.â
Jungwon looks at you, his expression hard to read. âSo, what now? You just expect me to forget everything and be okay with being your second choice?â
You shake your head vehemently. âNo, thatâs not what Iâm saying. I just want you to understand that I was confused. I never meant to hurt you, Jungwon. I care about you so much.â
âCaring about someone isnât enough,â he says quietly, his voice tinged with sadness.
A heavy silence settles between you, thick with unresolved tension. Jungwon breaks it with a question that slices through the air. âWhy Jake?â
You look up, startled. âWhat do you mean?â
âHe doesnât know you like I do,â Jungwon continues, his voice raw. âYouâre not the same girl he grew up with. Youâve changed, and he hasnât been here to see that.â
You open your mouth, but no words come out. Finally, you manage to say, âheâs my first love.â
âThat doesnât mean he has to be your only love,â Jungwon counters, taking a step closer. His eyes bore into yours, filled with an intensity that makes your heart race.
Before you can respond, he steps even closer, his breath warm against your skin. Heâs so close you can feel the heat radiating off him. For a moment, it feels like heâs about to kiss you, but then your phone rings, breaking the moment.
You glance at the screen: itâs Jake. Jungwonâs eyes flicker to the phone and back to you, pleading. âDonât answer it.â
You hesitate but then silence the call, your heart pounding in your chest. Jungwonâs expression softens, and he reaches up to caress your cheek. âYou deserve someone who knows you inside and out. Someone whoâs been there through everything. Iâm that someone.â
His words hang in the air, and before you can process them, he leans in and kisses you. Itâs gentle at first, a question rather than a demand. You respond, your arms wrapping around his neck as the kiss deepens, your emotions swirling together in a mix of confusion, guilt, and longing.
When you finally pull away, youâre both breathless. The weight of what just happened settles over you. Jungwon searches your eyes, his thumb still tracing your cheek. âI love you,â he whispers. âIâve always loved you.â
You stand there, your heart torn between the familiarity of your past and the promise of your future. The sound of your phone vibrating with another call from Jake is a distant echo as you and Jungwon stare at each other, caught in a moment that feels like it could change everything.
âWe shouldnât have done that,â you say, your voice shaking.
Jungwon shrugs, his eyes unwavering. âI donât feel bad about it.â
You swallow hard, the weight of his words settling over you. âJungwon, this isnât fair. Iâm so confused right now.â
He takes a deep breath, his gaze softening. âIâm serious about you. Iâve always been. I want you to give us a chance.â
His words hang in the air, heavy with meaning. Youâre once again faced with the ultimatum: Jake or Jungwon. The pressure feels unbearable, your heart torn in two directions. Before you can respond, thereâs a loud knock on the door.
âHave you two made up yet?â Beomgyuâs voice calls from the other side, filled with impatience.
You and Jungwon exchange a look, the weight of the unspoken words between you. You shake your head, unable to bring yourself to lie. But Jungwon pulls away from you and steps forward, his hand brushing against yours as he replies, âYeah, weâve made up.â
The door opens, and Avi and Beomgyu peer in, looking between the two of you. Jungwon gives you one last look, longing swimming in his eyes, before he steps past them and leaves the room.Â
Your phone starts ringing again, Jakeâs name flashing on the screen. You stare at it, the decision you need to make feeling more daunting than ever. As the door closes behind Jungwon, youâre left standing there, the sound of the phoneâs persistent ring echoing in the silence.
Avi steps forward, concern etched on her face. âHow do you feel? How did things go?â
You take a deep breath. âWe... we kissed.â
Both Avi and Beomgyuâs eyes widen in shock. âYou what?â Avi exclaims, her voice a mixture of surprise and concern.
Beomgyu, recovering first, gives you a thoughtful look. âAre you going to tell Jake?â
Avi cuts in, âYou donât have to.â
Beomgyu raises a brow at her. âSeriously,â
Avi shrugs, âwhat? I support womenâs right and wrongs.â
You hesitate, the previous question hanging heavy in the air. âI... I donât know what Iâm going to do,â you admit. âEverythingâs so complicated.â
Beomgyu sighs, running a hand through his hair. âLook, as much as I've grown to like Jake, Iâve always thought Jungwon was the right one for you. He understands you in a way Jake never will.â
Avi elbows him lightly, shooting him a warning look. âBeomgyu, thatâs not helping.â She turns to you, her eyes soft with sympathy. âBut... I kind of agree. You and Jungwon justâŠclick.â
You look between your two friends, feeling more conflicted than ever. âI donât know what to do,â you whisper, your voice breaking. âI care about both of them, but...â
Avi steps closer, wrapping an arm around your shoulders. âTake your time. You donât have to decide right now. Just...think about what makes you happiest, what feels right in your heart.â
You take a deep breath, trying to steady the whirlwind of emotions inside you. âI just donât want to hurt anyone.â
Avi looks at you with understanding. âSometimes, no matter what you choose, someone might get hurt.â
Your phone rings again, cutting through the tense silence. Beomgyu glances at the screen and then at you. âItâs Jake. You should answer.â
Hesitant, you pick up the call. âHey, Jake.â
âHi baby!,â he says, his voice filled with concern. âAre you okay? You sounded off earlier.â
âIâm fine,â you lie, trying to keep your voice steady. âJust busy studying.â
He hums, seemingly convinced. âOkay. Are you free for a date tomorrow?â
A twinge of guilt strikes you, but you push it aside. âSure, Iâd love that.â
You exchange a few more pleasantries before hanging up. Once you turn off your phone, Avi immediately asks, âWhat was that about?â
You sigh, feeling the weight of the situation. âJake wants to go on a date tomorrow.â
Avi nods thoughtfully. âRemember, you donât have to tell Jake anything until youâre ready.â
Beomgyu raises an eyebrow at her. âAgain, seriously?â
Avi shrugs. âWhat? Womenâs rights and wrongs, remember?â
You canât help but smile a little at her words, but the smile quickly fades. âI donât know what Iâll do,â you admit quietly.
Beomgyu comfortingly pats your back, more serious now. âBeing upfront now might be hard, but itâll save a lot of heartache later on.â
Avi then adds, âOr you could try being single for a bit. I promise itâs not all that bad.â
The three of you laugh, the tension easing slightly. Aviâs joke, though lighthearted, seems to resonate with all of you.Â
âYeah, maybe Iâll take that under consideration,â you say, the weight on your shoulders feeling a bit lighter.
Beomgyu grins. âHey, itâs always an option. Plus, more time for group hangouts.â
Avi nods enthusiastically. âExactly! We could use more friend time without any of the boy drama.â
You chuckle, appreciating their attempts to cheer you up. âThanks, guys. I really needed this.â
âAnytime,â Avi says, linking her arm with yours. âNow, letâs get back to the dorm. Weâve got snacks and a Netflix queue waiting for us.â
Beomgyu wraps an arm around both of you, guiding you back. âAnd maybe some ice cream? I feel like this conversation calls for ice cream.â
You laugh again, feeling grateful for your friends.

âDo you have a lot of finals coming up?â Jake asks, trying to keep the conversation light.
The two of you are currently at Naksan, an expensive new KBBQ restaurant that opened up near your campus. Jake had wanted to take you out sightseeing but given the cold Boston weather the two of you couldnât stay out long so he decided what better way to warm up than sizzling hot meat.
The atmosphere is lively, filled with the sizzle of meat on grills and the hum of conversation. Jake tries to make small talk, youâve been out of it all day lost in your head. His eyes search your face for any hint of whatâs bothering you.
You shake your head slightly, offering a small smile. âNo, only a few. Nothing too overwhelming.â
He nods, turning the meat on the grill. âWhat about winter break? Do you have any plans?â
You shrug, avoiding his gaze. âNot sure yet. Iâm not going back to Australia because the break isnât that long.â
Jakeâs face lights up a bit. âJay and Sunghoon were talking about renting a cabin over the break. They thought it would be fun if you and your friends joined us.â
âThat sounds fun,â you reply half-heartedly. âIâm sure Avi and Beomgyu would be down for that.â
Jake seems to notice your lack of enthusiasm but presses on. âWhat about inviting Jungwon too? The more, the merrier, right?â
You donât respond, knowing that Jungwon would never agree to be around Jake. The silence between you grows heavy, the unspoken words hanging in the air.
Jake places some grilled meat on your plate, watching you closely. âAre you okay?â he asks, concern evident in his voice.
Instead of answering, you look up at him and ask, âWhatâs my favorite color?â
Jake looks confident but confused as he answers, âBlack.â
You shake your head. âThat was my favorite color two years ago because itâs all you would ever wear. Itâs pink now.â
Jake nods, trying to hide his surprise. âOkay, Iâll make a mental note of that.â
He places more meat on the grill, but youâre not done. âWhat are my hobbies?â you ask.
Jake is at a loss, hesitating before guessing, âBaking?â
You shake your head again. âPhotography. Crochet. Painting. All things I started doing once you left to get my life back on track because all I ever knew was you. I didnât have an identity when you were around. I did it so I could forget you.â
Jake clenches the tongs tighter, his jaw setting as he places new meat on the grill. âWhat is this about?â he asks, his voice strained.
You look down at your plate, feeling the weight of the conversation. âA lot has changed since youâve been in my life. Iâm starting to realize that maybe I need to figure out who I am without you.â
Jake looks at you, confusion and frustration etched on his face. âWhat are you talking about? Iâm still the same Jake youâve known since we were kids.â
You shake your head firmly but gently. âNo. Youâre not. And thereâs nothing wrong with that, but I think weâve been pretending that nothing has changed when everything has changed.â
Jakeâs agitation grows. âWhat are you trying to get at?â
You try to calm him down, your voice softening. âMaybe we rushed things? Maybe we needed time to actually get to know each other again before jumping into a relationship.â
âWhere is this coming from?â Jake demands, his voice rising.
Taking a deep breath, you meet his gaze. âI finally talked to Jungwon. He helped me realize just how much Iâve changed.â You avoid mentioning the kiss, knowing it would only escalate things.
Jakeâs anger flares. âThis is our relationship, not ours plus Jungwonâs. Why are you letting him get in between what we have.â
A light scoff escapes your lips. âWithin the past two weeks, Iâve been slipping into old habits. Iâve considered transferring schools for your sake and sobriety. I picked you over Jungwon without any explanation. Every decision Iâve made since you came back revolves around you in some way.â
Jake, absolutely livid, leans forward, his eyes burning with anger. âI never asked you to do any of that. Itâs not my fault you have a savior complex.â
His words cut deep, and the air between you becomes thick with tension, the restaurant's noise fading into the background. Your anger simmers beneath the surface, and when Jake challenges you with his accusation, you can't hold back.
âYouâve got to be kidding me?â Your voice rises, laced with incredulity and hurt. âSavior complex? Iâve only ever loved and supported you!â
Jakeâs jaw tightens, his frustration evident. âNo, youâve only ever tried to fix me! I donât need to be fixed! Spoiler alert, not everyone can be as perfect as you, ____!â
His words hit you like a blow, but you refuse to back down. âIâm not perfect, Jake. I never claimed to be. But if you canât see how much Iâve tried to make this work, then maybe we shouldnât be together.â
Jakeâs expression hardens, his voice low and cutting. âSo, what now? Youâre just going to walk away?â
âWhy are we even together?â Your voice trembles with anger and betrayal.
You lock eyes with Jake, the heat of your emotions mirrored in his gaze. The silence between you is heavy with unspoken truths and shattered illusions. With a surge of indignation, you push back from the table, your chair scraping loudly against the floor.
âI canât believe I fell for your lies again.â The words spill from your lips, each one dripping with bitterness and disappointment.
Without another glance at Jake, you turn and walk away, leaving him sitting there, his anger and confusion swirling around him like a storm. The weight of your decision hangs heavy on your shoulders, but deep down, you know itâs the right one.
Outside the restaurant, the cold air hits you sharply, intensifying the pain in your chest. You navigate the streets with blurred vision, tears streaming down your face until you find yourself standing outside Jungwon's door. You hesitate for a moment, but the need for comfort outweighs any doubts.
When Jungwon opens the door, his confusion is evident in his sleep-ruffled appearance. His messy hair and casual attire contrast sharply with the intensity in his eyes as he takes in your tear-streaked face. Without a word, he steps aside, allowing you to enter.
You don't hesitate this time. You throw yourself into his arms, seeking comfort in his embrace. Jungwon holds you gently, his hands soothing circles on your back. "What's wrong?" he asks softly, concern lacing his voice.
Between sobs, you manage to recount the disastrous dinner with Jake, the accusations, and the painful realization that your relationship with him might have been built on illusions. Jungwon listens in silence, his expression a mix of understanding and restrained frustration.
"H-he said I have a savior complex! Can you believe that!?"
Jungwon stares at you blankly as you rage on.
"I love you too much to stand here and listen to you cry about Jake," He finally says, his voice tinged with agitation. "I warned you, told you to decide, and yet you ran into his arms anyway. Now he's broken your heart yet again."
You sniffle, clinging to him desperately. His words are like a bitter pill, hard to swallow but painfully true. "I refuse to be the person you come to pick up the broken pieces of your heart every time you let someone else break it," Jungwon continues, his voice firm but pained. "I want to be the one who holds your heart, who gets to love you and treat you right."
Your heart sinks at his words, realization settling in like a heavy weight. "Jungwon, please," you plead, your voice shaky. Not even sure yourself what it is youâre begging for.
He pulls away gently, his eyes searching yours. "I can't subject myself to standing here and listening to you go on about another man," he says softly. "For my own sake, I need you to leave."
Shock courses through you, leaving you speechless. You try to protest, to explain, but Jungwon remains resolute. "Don't come back until you really know what you want," he says firmly. "Otherwise, leave me alone."
With those words ringing in your ears, you stand there, grappling with the magnitude of his decision and your own emotions. Reluctantly, you turn away, leaving Jungwon behind, the ache in your chest now compounded by regret and uncertainty.
As you walk back to your dorm, the weight of everything crashes down on you. Itâs not just the fight with Jake or Jungwon's firm stance; itâs the realization of how selfish youâve been, stringing Jungwon along and using him as your emotional crutch. Heâs always been there, loving you without any conditions, and youâve taken that for granted.
Each step feels heavier than the last, the cold hallway air biting at your skin as you replay Jungwonâs words in your mind. Youâve leaned on him for so long, taking his unconditional support and affection as a given. He was your safe haven, the one person you could always turn to without fear of judgment. But in doing so, youâve hurt him deeply, using his love as a safety net without offering the same in return.
When you finally close the door to your dorm, the tears youâve been holding back flood out, and you collapse against the door, your sobs echoing in the empty space. The full weight of your actions, the hurt youâve caused, and the pain youâve inflicted on someone who means so much to you crashes down, leaving you feeling raw and exposed.
The sound of your anguish draws Avi out of her room, and she rushes to your side, her face etched with worry. âWhat happened?â she asks softly, kneeling beside you and wrapping an arm around your shoulders.
You struggle to get the words out, your voice broken by sobs. âIâve been such a horrible person,â you cry, the realization choking you. âIâve been using Jungwon, leading him on while I figured out my feelings for Jake. Iâve been so unfair to him.â
Avi sighs, her hand rubbing soothing circles on your back. âAt least youâre self-aware?â she says quietly, her words both a comfort and a sting. âMaybe for now you need to learn how to be comfortable with being alone.â
You nod through your tears, the truth of her words settling deep within you. âIâve been so selfish,â you whisper. âHeâs always been there for me, and Iâve taken him for granted. I never realized how much I was hurting him.â
Aviâs eyes are filled with sympathy, but she doesnât sugarcoat the reality. âYou need to give him space and time to heal,â she says. âAnd you need to figure out who you are and what you really want without any guys in the picture. You canât keep bouncing between Jake and Jungwon. Itâs not fair to either of them, and itâs not fair to yourself.â
You sniff, wiping at your tears, the weight of her words pressing down on you. âI know,â you admit. âI just⊠I donât know how to start.â
Avi pulls you into a tighter hug, her voice gentle but firm. âYou start by letting Jungwon go and focusing on yourself. You need to stop using him as a crutch and start dealing with your feelings head-on.â
You take a deep breath, trying to steady your emotions. For Jungwonâs sake, and for your own, you need to let go. As you sit there, leaning against the door with Avi by your side, you resolve to take the first step. Itâs time to stop running from your feelings and face the consequences of your actions. Itâs time to let Jungwon heal and to finally figure out who you are without relying on anyone else.

Sunday | Present Day
A week has come to pass and it's now December 8th. The days have blurred together as you've submerged yourself in studying for finals, avoiding any interactions with Beomgyu and Avi. Youâre up before the sun, attending classes, and then disappearing into the library until the dead of night. Jakeâs reached out a few times, begging to see you and apologies for how he acted but they all remain unanswered. You don't know how to approach that conversation. Jungwon, on the other hand, hasnât texted at all, and that silence cuts deeper than youâd care to admit.
It's 5 a.m., and you're trying to sneak out to the library yet again, hoping to escape unnoticed. But as you step into the living room, youâre startled to find Avi sitting on the couch, waiting for you.
âWhere do you think youâre going?â she asks, her voice cutting through the early morning silence.
You freeze, caught off guard. Itâs almost comical, being in trouble for studying too much. But Aviâs expression tells you this is no joke.
âAvi, I... I was just going to the library,â you stammer, clutching your books tighter.
Avi stands, her eyes never leaving yours. âIâve been nothing but patient with you, giving you space and time to figure things out. But itâs clear that youâre just running away from everything.â
âAvi, Iâm just trying to focus on my finals,â you protest weakly.
She shakes her head, her frustration evident. âBullshit, youâre using your finals as an excuse to avoid dealing with your problems. Iâm sick of you being so selfish.â
Her words sting, but you know sheâs right. Youâve been hiding, avoiding the difficult conversations you need to have.
âAll eight of us are going on the ski trip for winter break next week,â Avi continues, her tone firm. âAnd you need to get yourself together before then. There wonât be peace or fun if nearly half the house is beefing.â
You look at her in shock. âJungwon agreed to go?â
âYes,â Avi confirms, her gaze unwavering. âBut that doesnât mean heâs forgiven you. You need to talk to him, and to Jake. Itâs clear you care for both of them, but youâve handled this terribly. Theyâre both humans with real emotions, and itâs not fair to keep them in the dark.â
You swallow hard, the guilt washing over you. âI understand.â
âDo you?â Avi presses, her eyes piercing. âBecause if you did, you wouldnât be running away to the library every chance you get. You need to do better. For their sake and for yours.â
Tears well up in your eyes, the weight of her words sinking in. âIâm sorry, Avi. I just... I donât know how to fix this.â
Aviâs expression softens slightly, but her resolve remains. âYou start by being honest with them, and with yourself. Talk to Jake, talk to Jungwon. Tell them how you feel, and let them decide what they want to do. You canât control their reactions, but you can at least give them the truth.â
You nod, wiping away a tear. âOkay. Iâll do it.â
Avi takes a step closer, placing a comforting hand on your shoulder. âI love you, but you need to do better. This isnât just about you. Itâs about them, too. They deserve honesty.â
âI know,â you whisper, your voice breaking.
Avi pulls you into a hug, her voice gentle but firm. âYouâre going to get through this, but you need to stop running. Donât put it off any longer.â
She pulls back, looking at you with a mixture of love and teasing. âI canât believe youâve made me actually like Jake,â she says with a mock grimace. âSeriously, youâve managed to make me sympathize with that guy. Itâs almost impressive.â
You let out a shaky laugh, the tension easing a bit. âI guess thatâs one way to measure my impact.â
Avi smiles, giving you a playful nudge. âIâm not that angry with you, you know. Just frustrated because I know youâre capable of handling this better.â
âThanks, Avi,â you say, your voice filled with gratitude. âI really appreciate you looking out for me.â
âAlways,â she replies, her tone softening. âNow, go get some sleep, I know youâre miserable with all the studying youâve been doing.â
You both laugh before you nod, âI will.â
Avi gives you one last encouraging squeeze before retreating back to her room. As she disappears behind her door, you stand there for a moment, thinking of what to do.
With a deep breath, you head back to your room and pull out your phone.
[December 8th, 5:27 AM]
[you]: are you free later today to talk?Â
Once the message is sent you toss your phone aside and get back under your covers letting the warm embrace of sleep take you once more.

knock ! knock
You look up from your seated position on the couch once your mind registers the knocks on your front door. You walk towards the door to let them in. You do a once over in the mirror and flatten out any wrinkles in your dress before opening the door.
Jake stands there, looking slightly awkward, hands shoved into his pockets. His eyes meet yours with a mix of hesitation and what seems to be acceptance.Â
âHey,â he says softly.
âHey,â you reply, stepping aside to let him in.
Jake takes a seat on the couch and looks around the room, his eyes scanning every corner as if searching for something familiar. âAre we alone?â he asks, his voice almost a whisper.
You nod. âYeah, Avi is out hanging with Beomgyu.â
Jake nods, playing with his fingers, a nervous habit you recognize. Your fingers itch to hold his hand. The silence between you is thick, almost suffocating. Both of you open your mouths at the same time, starting to speak before stopping and laughing awkwardly.
âYou go first,â you encourage, offering him a small, reassuring smile.
Jake takes a deep breath. âIâm really sorry for how I reacted the other day,â he begins, his voice sincere. âI didnât handle it well, and I shouldnât have lashed out at you. You were bringing up genuine concerns in our relationship, and I got defensive.â
You nod, listening intently as he continues.
âIt stung, hearing about Jungwon. It felt like he took my spot in your life while I was gone. But youâre rightâwe have changed. Weâre not the same people we were back then.â
You bite your lip, feeling the weight of his words. When he finishes, you take a deep breath and gather the courage to say what you need to. âJake, I kissed Jungwon.â
Jake looks taken aback, but thereâs no anger in his eyes, just a sadness that seems to have been lingering for a while. He nods slowly, almost as if he expected it. âWhat now?â he asks, his voice soft.
You sigh, feeling a lump form in your throat. âI appreciate your apology, and Iâm sorry for kissing Jungwon. But I think itâs best if we end things here.â
Jake swallows hard at your words but he doesnât say anything back, he lets you continue.
âA part of my heart will always belong to you, and Iâll always love you, but weâre different people now. It was naive of us to think we could just jump into a relationship without taking the time to get to know each other again, without being friends first.â
Jakeâs eyes fill with tears, and despite his efforts to hide them, a few escape down his cheeks. âI understand,â he says, his voice trembling. âIâll always love you, too. If anything changes for you, Iâll always be here.â
Youâre both crying now, the emotional weight of the moment almost too much to bear. You stand up, and he follows suit, wrapping you in a tight hug. The embrace is bittersweet, filled with love and loss.
After a few moments, you pull back slightly, looking into his eyes. âDonât be a stranger, okay? Iâd still love to be friends.â
Jake nods and smiles, his tears still flowing. âMe too.â
You see him out, giving him one last hug in the hallway. As he rounds the corner, Jungwon comes into view. He sees you wiping away your tears as Jake sniffs and clears his throat before leaving. Jungwon pauses, watching the exchange.
You manage a gentle smile at Jungwon. âWould you like to come in?â you ask softly.
Jungwon stares at you for a moment, his expression unreadable. Then he nods, following you back into your room. The silence is heavy, but itâs not the same as it was with Jake. This silence almost feelsâŠhopeful? Maybe, just maybe, thereâs a chance for something different between you.
As you close the door behind you both, Jungwon stands awkwardly in the center of your room, unsure of what to do or say. âAre you okay?â he asks finally, his voice gentle.
You manage a smile, though tears still linger in your eyes. âIâm okay,â you assure him softly. âJust... processing everything.â
You motion for him to take a seat on the couch while you step into your room to grab something. You return with a small gift bag, decorated with a simple blue ribbon. âHere,â you say quietly, handing it to him.
Jungwon looks down at the bag, then up at you, confusion flickering across his face. âWhatâs this?â he asks, his voice filled with curiosity.
You take a deep breath, meeting his gaze. âItâs not much,â you start, your voice catching slightly. âBut I wanted to give you something. A start towards... a new beginning.â
He cautiously opens the bag and peers inside, finding cherry gummies, old Polaroids of the two of you from happier times, a sheep-shaped keychain, a gift card to Tatte, and other small trinkets that hold significance. Jungwon lifts the Polaroids, his eyes flickering over the captured moments of laughter and shared adventures.
âWhatâs all this for?â he asks softly, still trying to process your sudden gesture of affection.
You swallow, gathering your thoughts. âI know itâs not enough to fix everything Iâve done,â you begin, your voice earnest. âBut each of these... they represent moments from our friendship that I took for granted. The cherry gummies for the late-night talks and movie nights, the Polaroids for the memories we shared, the keychain because youâre like a little sheep, and I have a matching one on my keys...â
Jungwon listens quietly, his expression unreadable.
âThe gift card,â you continue, âis my way of paying forward all those times you woke up at the crack of dawn to get me croissants from the French bakery. I never properly thanked you for that.â
He finally looks up at you, his eyes searching yours. Thereâs a mix of emotions in his gazeâconfusion, surprise, and perhaps a hint of cautious hope.
You take a deep breath, your heart pounding in your chest. âJungwon, Iâve been blind,â you confess, your voice trembling slightly. âI had something amazing right in front of me, and I... I blew it because I was stuck in my past. I took advantage of your kindness, made you a second choice instead of treating you like you deserved.â
Jungwon remains silent, processing your words.
âYou were the one who loved me without conditions,â you continue, your voice cracking with emotion. âYou were patient with me, showed me what itâs like to be loved deeply by someone whoâs willing to brave the pain of not having that love returned.â
Still, Jungwon says nothing, but he listens intently, his expression softening slightly.
âI ended things with Jake,â you admit, a small smile tugging at your lips through the tears. âI see now that we were never meant to be anything more than each otherâs first love.â
Jungwonâs eyes widen in surprise at your revelation. âYou... let Jake go?â he asks softly, as if needing confirmation.
You nod, your smile widening just a fraction. âIt was time,â you say with a shrug, though the decision still weighs heavily on your heart.
He takes a moment to absorb this new piece of information before speaking again. âAnd what about us?â he asks quietly, his voice tinged with vulnerability.
You take a step closer to him, closing the distance between you. âIf youâre still willing,â you begin, your voice steady despite the nerves fluttering in your stomach, âI would love to try again. To take things slow, as friends, while I figure out who I am and what I want. And when weâre both ready, maybe... we can try our hand at dating.â
Jungwon stares at you, his expression unreadable for a moment. Then, slowly, a small smile spreads across his faceâthe kind of smile that reaches his eyes and warms your heart.
âIâd like that,â he finally says, his voice filled with sincerity.
You exhale a breath you didnât realize you were holding, relief flooding through you. âThank you,â you whisper, feeling a weight lift off your shoulders.
Jungwon steps forward, wrapping you in a warm embrace. You melt into his arms, feeling a sense of homecoming you hadnât realized youâd been missing.
âIâm sorry, Jungwon,â you say again, this time from the bottom of your heart. âIâve been such a shitty friend. Selfish. But I want to do better. I want to make things right.â
He pulls back slightly to look at you, his gaze tender. âYou already are,â he says softly. âLetâs take it slow. Figure things out together.â
You nod, tears of relief and happiness streaming down your cheeks. For the first time in weeks, you feel as though youâre finally doing something right.
As you stand there in Jungwon's embrace, your heart feels lighter, Jake was your firstâa boy whose love had once been the center of your universe. Even now, a part of you will always carry him with you. You know you will love him to the ends of the earth, cherishing the memories you shared, the lessons learned, and the person you became because of him.
But as you look at Jungwon, holding you with a warmth and gentleness that feels like coming home, you realize that your heart has found room for another. Yang Jungwon. The first man to show you the true meaning of selfless love. His patience, his unwavering support, and the way he saw youâthe real youâwithout conditions or expectations. He has taught you that love doesn't demand to be earned or proven; it simply exists, patiently waiting for you to embrace it.
Youâll forever be grateful for him. For his kindness and understanding, for the quiet strength he gave you when you were too lost to find your own. In his eyes, you see a future where love is not a battlefield, but a sanctuary.
Jake will always be a cherished part of your story, a chapter that shaped you in ways youâre still discovering. But Jungwon is the present and future, the man who holds your heart now, showing you that love can be both enduring and gentle.Â
With Jake, you learned the passion of first love; with Jungwon, youâre learning the depth of true, unconditional love. And as you stand here, wrapped in Jungwon's arms, you know that while parts of your heart belong to Jake, you will now and forever carry Jungwon in your heart too. This new chapter, with its promises of understanding and growth, feels like the beginning of something beautifulâa journey towards a love that is as healing as it is profound.

POV âžș YANG JUNGWON




genres! fluff, song fic, established relationship
word count! 489
playlist! pov by ariana grande
mimiâs note! the first paragraph is inspired by a post i read on here a while back but i donât remember the user

Yang Jungwon isnât the kind of person to love halfheartedly, heâll give you everything he has: his heart, his body, his mind, his soul. Thereâs nothing he wouldnât do, wouldnât lose, wouldnât trade or give for you and itâs this unspoken rule, this ubiquitous notion that his love for you was wholehearted and unconditional.
With Jungwon you were receiving the kind of love you dreamt of as a little girl, gifting you small trinkets that reminded him of you, always making time for you despite his busy schedule, taking on the task of doing a chore he knows you hate, handwritten love letters, giving you genuine complimentsânot out of obligation but because he truly admires you, holding you in his arms as he rubs your back in hopes to melt away your stress, slow dancing in ungodly hours of the night, coming home with your favorite drink and snacks if he was out too long as a show of appreciation for being so patient and understanding with him, invariably putting you first no matter the consequences he would face afterwards because your safety and comfort is his main priority.
He was the kind of lover to unknowingly fulfill those romantic scenarios in your head you never thought would come true, his every word and every action never failing to envelop you in his deepest affections.
Loving came easy with him, never needing arguments or stimuli to keep the passion alive. A âWeâll figure this out togetherâ kind of love, an âAre you okay? Wanna talk about it?â love, an âLet me take care of that for youâ love.
He knew you better than you knew yourself at times, the way his gentle yet perceptive eyes always see right through you as though youâre made of glass, never being able to keep anything from him, he was your peace, the way his presence alone could offer you a sense of tranquility, he was your confidant, the way your lips could only admit the thoughts you didnât want to acknowledge to his unjudgemental ears.
You werenât quite used to all this yet, having rotten luck in past relationships had wholly convinced you love like this was simply not written in the stars for you, or worse, maybe you were not deserving of this love, but somewhere along the way Jungwon must have realigned those luminous points in the night sky because you were learning differently now, because of Jungwon youâve learned to love yourself, be grateful for yourself, to trust yourself, be gentle and kind towards yourself like he is. You were learning to see yourself from his point of view.
Relationships can be scary and being with the right person didnât mean it would be any less frightening but rather it would make you braver to face the daunting parts because you know you have each other, so even though you were scared you were gonna love him anyway.

THEORY OF LOVE âžș YANG JUNGWON




genre! fluff, inspired by this article
word count! 679
synopsis! in which jungwon ponders the theory of love on a morning bus ride but his only conclusion is you

How many times can you fall in love?
While thereâs no universal answer, most people believe in the three loves theory, you know, the one that says we all experience three great loves in our lifetime.
Now it's been said each one is for a specific reason, the first love, this is the love that plants the seed in the soil of your heart for all your other loves to sprout. It's the idealistic loveâthe one that seems like it's straight out of a generic Disney movie.
It's appealing to the eyes and we dive in head-first with the belief that this is the only love weâll ever love, we believe this is what love is supposed to beâwhat it's supposed to look likeâfeel like but sadly some lovers do not make it through the storm we call truth, because contrary to popular belief, love is not always so amicable.
The second love, this is the love that teaches us to water our still-growing plant, bury it in rich soil, and make sure it gets lots of sunlight. This is where we learn lessons about who we are and what we need to be loved and to love others.
Similar to a carnival ride, it has its highs and lows, and like an adrenaline-rushed child at the highest point of the roller coaster, we stay in this relationship through the lows with the expectation of that sweet release of dopamine when we reach the highs, but alas it comes to a bittersweet end.
The third love, this is the love in full bloom. The love you never saw coming and it comes so easily and naturally that we question if it's too good to be true.
It takes you by surprise, knocks you off your feet, and shakes you to your core. Shatters your preconceived notions of love and becomes something that is uniquely your own. The love that keeps knocking at your door no matter how long it takes for you to answer.
But the question remains, just how many times can you fall in love?
Well, for Yang Jungwon, he'd have to say infinity, because truth be told, he fell in love with you every second of every day.
He loved you in all the ways you could possibly love a person.
Just like now as he watches you fix his tie on the city bus that he struggled with for a solid five minutes until you finally turned around, mumbling how he was giving you second-hand embarrassment, your fingers skillfully fastening the satin black fabric.
The golden glow of the early morning sun seeps through the squared windows, enshrouding all passengers in what can only be described as a heavenly luminosity, his brown eyes turn into bright pools of honey when you finally meet his gaze, his lips curved in a soft smile.
You eye him suspiciously, âWhat?â
I'm in love you with you. He thinks.
Before Jungwon can speak the bus comes to a stop pulling your full attention away from him, âThis is our stop, come on.â
He says nothing but feels everything when you take his hand in your own as you pile out of the bus along with a few other passengers.
The crisp air nips at his skin, leaving a slight red blush on the pale complexion of his cheeks and the tip of his nose.
A mass of white blossoms tinged with pink sprinkled down along the cement pathway as you walked alongside him, the soft petals landing in your hair and he had to resist the urge to pluck them out for you although a part of him thought you looked pretty like that.
âOh!â you look at him suddenly as if you had just remembered something. âWhat were you gonna say earlier?â
He stops in his tracks, looking down at you.
I'm in love with you.
He smiles with a shrug, âI forgot.â
Jungwonâs not stupid, he knows why you're asking, it's because you want to hear him say it, but he's not quite done teasing you yet.

Happy Valentines Day - Y.J

P: Yang Jungwon X fem!reader
Genre: Fluff - Tooth rotting Fluff, jealousy if you squint
Synopsis: Valentines day with Jungwon as your bf
âĄâĄ
You wake up to the soft warmth of the late morning sun spilling through your curtains, casting a golden glow across your room. Stretching lazily, you reach for your phone on the nightstand, rubbing the last traces of sleep from your eyes. The screen lights up as you unlock it, and your heart skips a beat when you see a new message waiting for you.
It's from Jungwon, your boyfriend.
âGood morning! Happy Valentineâs Day, baby! I love you!â
A smile spreads across your face, the familiar warmth of his words wrapping around you like a hug. You can almost hear his voice, soft and sweet, as you tap a reply.
âGood morning! Happy Valentineâs Day, love! I love you too đ«¶â
You hit send, feeling a wave of happiness wash over you. Even though heâs not with you right now, his message feels like heâs right beside you, making this quiet morning feel just a little more special.
Your phone buzzes again almost immediately, another message from Jungwon lighting up the screen.
âBe ready in an hour. I have a surprise for you.â
When the doorbell rings right on time, your heart skips a beat. You open the door to find Jungwon standing there, a radiant smile on his face. He's holding a beautiful bouquet of red roses in one hand and an adorable teddy bear in the other. But what catches your eye the most is the large poster he's holding, the words written in bold, colourful letters:
Excitement flutters in your stomach as you jump out of bed, suddenly wide awake. You rush through your morning routine, your mind racing with possibilities. After picking out your favorite outfit and making sure every detail is perfect, you check the time. Just a few more minutes until he arrives.
"Will you be my Valentine?"
Your eyes fill with happy tears as you look up at him. He steps closer, placing the flowers and teddy bear in your arms before wrapping you in a warm hug.
"I know it's cheesy," he says, his voice soft and full of love, "but I wanted to make today special for you."
You laugh, wiping away a tear. "It's perfect," you say, your heart swelling with joy. "Of course, I'll be your Valentine."
He pulls back just enough to look into your eyes, his smile widening. "Great, because I have the whole day planned out. Ready to go?"
You nod eagerly, slipping your hand into his as you step outside. The day is just beginning, but with Jungwon by your side, you know it's going to be unforgettable.
Jungwon leads you to his car, still holding your hand, and opens the door for you like the gentleman he is. You climb in, clutching the roses and teddy bear to your chest, feeling giddy. He hops into the driverâs seat, throwing you a quick smile before starting the car.
âYouâre going to love the first stop,â he says, eyes twinkling with excitement.
As Jungwon starts the engine, you rummage through your bag, feeling a rush of anticipation. You had been waiting for this moment all weekâthe perfect surprise for him.
âHey, before we hit the road, I have something for you,â you say, your voice bubbling with excitement.
He turns to you, curiosity dancing in his eyes. âFor me? What is it?â
You pull out a neatly wrapped giftâa small white bag that you had carefully decorated with little doodles and hearts. You hand it to him, unable to suppress your smile.
When he finally pulls out the white baggy hoodie, his eyes widen in surprise. Itâs soft and cozy, and what catches his attention is the unique designâyour kiss marks splattered playfully across the front in various shades of pink.
âOpen it!â you urge, watching as he takes the bag, his fingers gently tearing through the wrapping paper.
âBaby! Did you make this?â he asks, his voice a mixture of disbelief and delight.
âI did! My lips got so sore after making all those kisses, but I thought it would be a cute gift,â you explain, feeling a blush creep across your cheeks.
With a swift motion, he pulls off his sweater, revealing a simple T-shirt beneath. You canât help but admire his physique for a moment before he slides the hoodie over his head. It swallows him slightly, but the sight is undeniably adorable.
âI love it, babe! So much so that Iâm gonna wear it now!â he declares, a wide grin spreading across his face.
âHow do I look?â he asks, turning to you with a playful tilt of his head.
âYou look handsome as always!â you respond, your heart fluttering at the sight of him. The hoodie fits him perfectly, accentuating his charm while still showcasing your affectionate gesture.
Without thinking, he leans in and captures your lips in a gentle kiss, one that speaks of his appreciation and affection. You melt into the moment, feeling the warmth of his body next to yours and the soft fabric of the hoodie brushing against your skin.
He beams at your compliment, his cheeks flushing slightly. In that moment, everything feels perfectâjust you and him.
When you pull away, he chuckles, his smile infectious. âI think Iâm going to wear this all day.â
You laugh, nodding in agreement. âGood! Itâs a reminder of me, and I want you to feel my love with you everywhere you go.â
âDonât worry, Iâll wear it every chance I get,â he promises, giving you one last quick peck before shifting back into driving mode.
As the car pulls away, the two of you chat easily, like always. Even though itâs Valentineâs Day and there's a certain sweetness in the air, being with Jungwon is comfortable. Thereâs no pressure, just the effortless joy of being together.
After a short drive, he pulls into a quiet park, the trees lining the path swaying gently in the breeze. The sun is high now, warming the crisp February air. You step out, Jungwon by your side, guiding you along the path. The peacefulness of the park feels perfect, but then you spot something in the distance.
A beautiful blanket is spread out under a large oak tree, covered with all your favorite foods. There are neatly arranged sandwiches, fruit, a bottle of sparkling juice, andâyour favoriteâa plate of homemade sweets that look suspiciously like theyâve been made by Jungwon.
A picnic.
âYou did all this?â you ask, eyes wide in disbelief.
He grins sheepishly. âI may have had some help with the setup, but yeah, I wanted to make this Valentineâs Day special.â
Jungwon leads you over to the blanket and you both sit down, the air filled with the scent of roses and freshly made food. You canât help but lean into him, resting your head on his shoulder for a moment.
Your heart swells even more as you take in the thoughtful details, from the carefully chosen food to the way the spot was tucked away in a quiet corner of the park.
"This is perfect," you murmur softly, feeling the warmth of the sun.
He chuckles and presses a soft kiss to the top of your head. "I'm glad you think so, because this isn't even the best part."
You sit up, looking at him curiously. "There's more?"
He reaches into the picnic basket and pulls out a small box, his smile turning a little shy. Opening it, he reveals a delicate silver bracelet with a tiny charmâa heart, engraved with both your initials.
âI wanted to get you something you could keep with you, even when weâre not together,â Jungwon says, his voice quieter now, filled with sincerity.
You look at the bracelet, then back at him, your heart racing. "It's beautiful, Jungwon."
He takes your hand and gently fastens the bracelet around your wrist, his fingers brushing against your skin. The moment feels intimate, like time has slowed down just for the two of you.
âThere,â he says softly, admiring the way it looks on you. âNow youâll always have a little piece of me with you.â
As the afternoon rolls on, the picnic nearly finished, Jungwon suddenly reaches into the basket again, his eyes glinting mischievously. âOkay, donât laugh,â he says, pulling out a box and setting it in front of you.
You smile, feeling overwhelmed by how much thought heâs put into everything. âI donât need the bracelet to feel that,â you say, leaning in to kiss him softly. "You're always with me."
âĄâĄ
You raise an eyebrow, curious. âWhatâs this?â
âSomething fun. Open it.â
You carefully lift the lid, revealing an assortment of art suppliesâcolored markers, scissors, glitter glue, and a stack of construction paper in different shades of pink and red. You canât help but giggle, feeling a wave of playful excitement.
âArts and crafts?â you ask, grinning.
âYup,â he says, popping the âpâ and looking ridiculously proud of himself. âI thought it would be fun to make some DIY Valentineâs Day cards. Something we can keep.â
Your heart melts at his thoughtfulness. âYou really thought of everything, didnât you?â
Jungwon laughs, pulling out a sheet of red paper and folding it in half. âOf course! Now, letâs see who can make the better Valentine card.â
Challenge accepted, you think. Grabbing a pink sheet of paper and a handful of markers, you dive in, the two of you working side by side, teasing each other as you draw hearts, write silly messages, and add way too much glitter. Laughter fills the space around you, mixing with the warmth of the sun and the soft rustling of the park's trees.
Jungwon leans over, sneakily trying to peek at your card. âLet me see! You canât be done already.â
After a few more minutes, you both exchange cards, laughing as you see each otherâs designs. His card is full of hearts and a little doodle of the two of you, while yours is filled with cute notes and inside jokes. You hold up his card and grin. âThis is adorable.â
You cover it with your hand, pretending to be secretive. âNot yet! Youâll have to wait.â
As you set the cards aside, Jungwonâs face lights up again, and he reaches into the picnic basket one more time. This time, he pulls out a small tray of perfectly ripe strawberries and a little container of melted chocolate.
He chuckles. âI had a good model to draw from.â
You gasp in delight. âJungwon, no way! You even brought strawberries and chocolate?â
âI know how much you love them,â he says, popping open the container of chocolate and dipping a strawberry into it. âHere,â he says, holding it out to you.
Jungwon leans back, watching you with a soft smile on his face. âIâm glad youâre having a good time.â
You take a bite, the sweetness of the strawberry and the richness of the chocolate melting together perfectly. âThis is amazing,â you mumble between bites.
You meet his eyes, the warmth and affection in his gaze making your heart flutter all over again. "How could I not? This is the best Valentineâs Day Iâve ever had."
He reaches for another strawberry, this time taking a bite himself before offering you the rest. âWell, I wanted it to be special. You deserve that.â
You share the strawberries, your fingers sticky with chocolate as you laugh and feed each other.
As the last strawberry is devoured and you both wipe your sticky fingers on the picnic napkins, Jungwon sits back, a satisfied smile spreading across his face. The soft rustling of leaves in the breeze, mixed with the distant hum of nature, makes the world feel like it belongs to just the two of you.
âSo,â he says, standing up and offering you his hand. âReady for the next part of the day?â
You raise an eyebrow, curious but already excited. âThereâs more?â
Once everything is packed, he leads you back to his car, and you climb in, the air between you buzzing with anticipation. Jungwon turns the key in the ignition and pulls out of the park, giving you that teasing smile again. âYouâre going to love this next spot.â
âOf course thereâs more,â he chuckles, pulling you up and gathering the remnants of the picnic. âWeâve still got a whole Valentineâs Day ahead of us.â
As he drives, you watch the world outside the window change from suburban streets to something more urban. After about twenty minutes, he pulls up to a spot you recognize instantlyâa charming botanical garden that youâd been wanting to visit for ages.
âSurprise,â he says, parking the car with a grin.
You gasp, eyes wide with excitement. âThe botanical gardens? How did you know?â
âIâve heard you mention it a few times,â he says, hopping out of the car and coming around to open your door. âI thought itâd be the perfect place to visit on a day like today.â
As you stroll through the garden, hand in hand, the two of you pause every now and then to admire the different flowers. Jungwon stops to point out some of the more unique plants, making little comments and jokes that keep you smiling.
You step out and take his hand, and together you enter the garden. Immediately, youâre greeted by the sight of vibrant flowers, lush greenery, and winding paths that lead through stunning landscapes. The air smells sweet and fresh, and the sound of trickling fountains in the distance adds to the peaceful atmosphere.
At one point, you pass through an archway covered in ivy, leading to a secluded section of the garden where a large fountain sits in the center, the water sparkling under the fading light. Jungwon pulls you closer, his arm draped around your waist as you both sit on the edge of the fountain, watching the water ripple and shimmer.
âThis place is beautiful,â you murmur, leaning your head on his shoulder.
âIt really is,â he agrees, his voice soft. âBut youâre still the most beautiful thing here.â
You roll your eyes playfully, but your heart skips a beat at his words. Before you can respond, Jungwon stands up, holding out his hand again. âCâmon, thereâs one more thing I want to show you.â
Curious, you take his hand and follow him further into the garden until you reach a small glass greenhouse. Inside, the air is warm, filled with the heady scent of exotic flowers and the soft hum of nature. Jungwon pushes open the door, leading you inside, and your eyes widen as you take in the sight.
The greenhouse is filled with delicate orchids, rare tropical plants, and hanging vines. A small path weaves through the space, leading to a cozy bench tucked away in the corner.
âJungwon,â you whisper, touched by the gesture. âYou planned all of this?â
You walk over to the bench, admiring the flowers as you sit down. He joins you, wrapping his arm around your waist, pulling you close. The soft light filtering through the glass roof casts a warm glow over everything, and for a moment, you both sit in comfortable silence, surrounded by the beauty of the greenhouse.
He shrugs, a little sheepish. âI wanted today to feel special, from start to finish.â
âThank you,â you say quietly, looking up at him with a smile. âThis day⊠itâs been everything I couldâve asked for.â
After spending a little more time in the greenhouse, enjoying the peace and quiet, you leave the botanical gardens as the sky turns a light shade of orange. But Jungwon isnât done yet. As the two of you get back into the car, he shoots you a quick grin. âReady for the next part of our day?â he asks, his eyes twinkling with excitement.
Jungwon leans in, brushing a soft kiss against your forehead. âAnything for you.â
You sit up, curious but eager, âThereâs more?â
He laughs, âOf course thereâs more! This is just the beginning.â
After a short drive, Jungwon pulls up to the first surprise: an adorable little cafĂ© that youâve been dying to visit for ages. The fairy lights wrapped around the entrance glow warmly, making the place look magical in the early evening light. The windows are fogged up, and inside, you can see people sitting at cozy tables, sipping coffee and enjoying decadent desserts.
He parks and turns to you with a grin. âI know youâve been wanting to come here, so I made us a reservation.â
Your heart swells. âYou remembered!â
âOf course I did. How could I forget? Youâve been talking about this place for weeks.â
After finishing the croissants, Jungwon leans forward, a glint in his eye. âAlright, ready for the next stop?â
He leads you inside, where youâre greeted with the smell of freshly brewed coffee and sweet pastries. The hostess leads you to a corner table by the window, where the two of you can see the twinkling city lights outside. As soon as you sit down, Jungwon orders your favorite hot drink and a plate of chocolate-covered croissants.
The two of you settle into the cozy atmosphere, talking and laughing over the warm drinks. The conversation flows easily, as it always does with him, and you find yourself lost in the moment, completely at peace.
âĄâĄ
You raise an eyebrow, intrigued. â More?â
âJust you wait,â he says with a wink, standing up and helping you with your coat.
Youâre back in the car, the city lights reflecting off the glass as Jungwon drives you to your next destination. You look out the window, wondering what he could have planned next. Soon, he pulls into a quiet street lined with quaint little shops, all closed for the nightâexcept for one. A warm glow spills out from the windows of a tiny art studio, its sign twinkling under the streetlights.
When you step inside, youâre greeted by the smell of paint and fresh canvas. The room is filled with easels and paint supplies, and at the center of it all is a table reserved just for the two of you. Thereâs a soft, calming music playing in the background, and the instructor welcomes you both with a warm smile.
âWeâre doing a paint and sip class?â you ask, eyes wide with surprise.
Jungwon nods, smiling. âI figured we could make some art together, especially after our little arts and crafts session earlier. Plus, I know you love trying new things.â
Jungwonâs tongue sticks out slightly in concentration as he paints, and you canât help but giggle at how focused he is. âWhat?â he asks, looking at you with a playful smile.
The instructor hands you each a canvas, a palette of paints, and a glass of sparkling juice. You sit side by side, brushes in hand, as the instructor gives gentle guidance on what to paint. The two of you start with a simple ideaâa sunsetâbut it quickly turns into something more personal. You add little details that remind you of each other: inside jokes, tiny symbols of your favorite memories, even a little doodle of the teddy bear he gave you earlier.
âYouâre so cute when youâre concentrating,â you tease, leaning over to nudge his shoulder.
He laughs and dips his brush into some paint, making a quick swipe across your canvas. âHey!â
After thanking the instructor and leaving the studio, Jungwon loads your paintings carefully into the car before turning to you with a soft smile. âOne last stop.â
You gasp, feigning shock, and dip your own brush into paint, swiping a playful line across his. Before you know it, youâre both giggling like kids, splashing tiny bits of paint on each otherâs canvases, but eventually, you settle back down and finish your masterpieces. By the end of the session, youâre both proud of what youâve created.
The final destination turns out to be a rooftop garden overlooking the city skyline. The air is crisp, the stars twinkling brightly above as he takes your hand and leads you up the stairs. When you reach the top, your breath catches in your throat.
Candles are scattered around, their soft glow illuminating a small table set up with blankets and pillows. Thereâs no one else aroundâjust you, Jungwon, and the endless stretch of stars above. A small portable speaker plays your favorite song in the background.
Jungwon pulls you into a gentle embrace, swaying with you to the music. âI wanted to end the night somewhere special. Somewhere quiet, just us.â
You wrap your arms around him, resting your head against his chest as the two of you sway slowly under the stars. âYouâve outdone yourself,â you whisper, your heart overflowing with love.
He smiles down at you, his eyes soft and full of warmth. âI just wanted to make today perfect. You mean the world to me.â
You pull back slightly, gazing up at him, your heart fluttering. âItâs more than perfect. Iâll never forget this day.â
He leans down, pressing a gentle kiss to your lips. âNeither will I.â
As the gentle hum of the night surrounds you, you find yourself lost in Jungwonâs gaze, the moment feeling incredibly intimate and precious. You caress his cheek softly, your thumb brushing over his skin, feeling the warmth radiating from him. His dimple pops out as he blushes, an adorable shade of pink painting his cheeks, making your heart flutter even more.
âI really do love you, you know,â you whisper, the words flowing from your heart like a sweet melody.
His eyes widen slightly, a mix of surprise and joy illuminating his face. âI love you too,â he replies, his voice almost a breathless whisper, the sincerity in his tone wrapping around you like a warm embrace.
You canât help but smile at him, your heart swelling with affection. âI mean it. You make every day brighter, and Iâm so grateful to have you in my life.â
The words hang in the air, heavy with meaning and promise. You nod, your heart racing as you hold his gaze.
Jungwon leans into your touch, his eyes softening even more. âYouâre my everything. I never want to lose this⊠us.â
He brings his hand up to cover yours, still resting on his cheek, and you feel an overwhelming sense of love wash over you. âNo matter what happens, I want you to know that Iâll always be here for you,â he says, his voice steady and full of conviction.
âAlways,â you affirm, a smile spreading across your face.
Bonus!!!
The soft glow of the TV screen flickered across the room as you settled into the couch, Yangâthe plushie Jungwon had gifted you for valentines âsnuggled comfortably in your arms. You glanced around the room, the familiar faces of Jungwonâs friends surrounding you. Sunghoon sat to your left, his focus fixed on the game, while Jay was on your right, equally engrossed.
The sounds of the boys laughing and cheering filled the air, but despite the lively atmosphere, you felt your eyelids growing heavy. You hadnât slept well the previous night, a mix of excitement and nerves keeping you awake. You fought to keep your eyes open, but the warm, cozy embrace of the couch combined with the rhythmic sounds of the game made it harder and harder.
âAre you okay?â Sunghoon asked, glancing over at you, concern etching his features.
âJust a bit tired,â you replied, stifling a yawn.
Jay chuckled softly. âYou shouldâve taken a nap before coming over. You look like you could use one.â
You didnât notice when Heeseung quietly picked you up, carefully cradling you in his arms as he made his way to a vacant guest room in the house. He laid you down gently on the soft bed, tucking Yang beside you. Your grip instinctively tightened around the plushie, pulling it close to your chest.
You gave him a small smile, but the effort was too much. Before you knew it, your eyes fluttered closed, and you succumbed to the pull of sleep, the sounds of the game fading into a gentle background hum.
Time passed, and you remained blissfully unaware of the world around you, lost in a peaceful dream. You didnât hear Jungwon arrive, nor did you notice the way he paused at the door, taking in the sight of you sleeping peacefully.
âLook at her,â Jungwon muttered under his breath, his eyes narrowing slightly at the sight. He felt a twinge of frustrationâthat plushie wasnât him.
The moment felt surreal as he stepped into the room, a small smile creeping onto his face at the sight of you curled up with Yang. But then a wave of jealousy washed over him, stirring an unfamiliar feeling in his chest.
Why was Yang getting all the cuddles?
Jake, who had followed Jungwon into the room, nudged him with a knowing smile. âYou bought it for her, Won. If it really means that much, take its place.â
Sunoo, standing a bit behind Jake, added softly, âYeah, she wouldnât mind if you swapped places for a bit.â
Jungwonâs gaze shifted back to you, taking in the peaceful expression on your face. You looked so content, clutching Yang like it was the most comforting thing in the world. He felt a mix of warmth and possessiveness at the sight, his heart softening as he walked closer.
âMaybe youâre right,â he said quietly, a smirk forming on his lips as he knelt beside the bed. Gently, he reached out and moved Yang just enough so he could slip into your space without waking you.
He settled next to you, wrapping his arms around you and resting his chin on your head. The moment he made contact, you instinctively nuzzled closer, sighing contentedly. Jungwon chuckled softly, realizing that, even in your sleep, you craved his warmth.
âGuess she loves me more,â he whispered, his heart swelling with affection.
With a satisfied sigh, Jungwon closed his eyes, letting himself relax as he held you close, feeling as if everything was just as it should be. Yang may have been the plushie that kept you company, but he knew heâd always be the one you truly cherishedâand that thought filled him with joy.
It was clear as day that Jungwon belonged right there next to you, sharing the warmth of your love.
