Proud

Jiyeon🦢​🩵​

+82 010 XXXX XXXX

You It looks like you girls are having a new season of Badge War

Jiyeon 🦢​🩵​Ugh yeah, the results are clear

I hate it

Can’t I retire as the winning champ?

You It’s not what wavs want

You will have to bring the gold home another time

Jiyeon 🦢​🩵​Why do you look so nonchalant about it?

Are you that happy to be far from your girlfriend for a couple of days?

You On the contrary, I’m so pissed

You are already so stressed and tired for the next comeback

And now this too?

But that is how I cope

So I’m cheering for you

Jiyeon 🦢​🩵​Don’t say that, I’m gonna start to miss you already

Can we see each other?

I need hug and cuddles

You Jiyeon

If I ever say no to this request

Shoot me in the face, because it’s not me

On my way btw

Fifteen minutes after you were in the parking spot of the bulding where the three dorms of TripleS were located. The light of your motorbike were on to signal the position to your girlfriend. You were lazily scrolling through your feed when you felt a couple of arms hugging you from behind.

“Here you are”, you chuckled while turning your head to the side to admire the face of Jiyeon smiling at you so brightly. She was engulfed by her gray sweatshirt that made her look even more cute than usual.

“Babyyy”, she just chirped before nuzzling her face against your back, tacking in your woody scent.

“It doesn’t matter how many times we see each other, I will be never able to catch your sneaky ballerina steps”, you managed to get free from her backhug just to pull her into a proper embrace, squeezing her so tight that Jiyeon squealed.

“Where do you bring me today?”, she asked with doe eyes before kissing you under the chin, her hands playing lazily with your hair.

“I thought you wanted hug and cuddles, not a date”, you replied, before letting her go, just enough to playfully squish her face and jump on the bike.

“Is it even a real date without them? Come on, baby, you should know me by now”, she teased you, while imitating you, her flexibility coming in hand to reach easily the passenger seat on the powerful vehicle.

“…so, how did the girls take the news? Are they eager to blame each other for a wrong breath?”, you asked, while walking hand in hand with Jiyeon, your steps echoing in the empty street of a sleeping Seoul.

“Well, it depends, each member took in the fans choice in a different way”, she shrugged, her sight looking far, probably while trying to remember the chaos that emerged in the dorms when the final result was announced.

“Some were enthusiastic, you know, the past years losers as Kotone, Yubin, Hayeon. Others were kinda devastated, I’m pretty sure Lynn and Nien wanted just to rest and have a nice trip, and I can’t really blame them”, she continued to explain, a small giggle escaping her lips to the scenario she experienced between those walls.

“Certain girls just screamed and made a mess”, she concluded, shaking her head and caressing her ear with the free hand.

“Soomin?”, you asked. “Soomin”, she confirmed.

“And how did you take the news instead?”, you eventually asked, stooping in your track to look at her face.

She looked away, almost shy under your gaze. “It is what it is”, she mumbled, trying to sound alright, but you knew your girlfriend well enough to know when she was omitting something.

“Really? Repeat that while looking me in the eyes now”, you suddendly grabbed her hips and pulled her closer, making her get read in the face.

“Baby, stop, that’s not fair!”, she complained, while hiding her face in the crook of your neck.

“What is not fair? Telling lies? Or maybe the tickles I’m about to give you if you don’t confess in 3…2…1..”, the countdown made her panic. She was so weak against your fingers. She tried to escape but your hold was too strong.

“Alright alright, I won’t lie anymore, but don’t tickle me”, she finally accepted your request, almost begging you to spare her life from that terrible punishment.

You let her go and crossed your arms, watching her with an expecting face. “I’m waiting, babe, come on”.

“Listen, I don’t even mind for the new season, it’s gonna be fun and bring so many new fans to the group. Honestly I even expected it to be announced in any case, so it’s not a shock or anything like that”, she said, between sighs and groans.

“Then what’s the problem? Why do you look so down?”, you inquired, softly caressing her cheek, her flesh softly molding under your delicate touch.

“It’s that…I’m afraid to disappoint you”, she admitted, looking so embarassed and guilty, her eyes were fixes on the ground, almost if she wanted to dig an hole and hide in there.

“…what?”. It was genuinely the only question your mind could bring out in response to those words. “What do you mean by that?”.

“The last season I gave all myself, even if I was sick, just to make you proud. I knew you were cheering for me so I fought until the end. The way you looked at me when I was back home with the golden badge made me feel the most special girl on the earth and I would hate myself if I won’t be able to win again”, it was not even a coherent explanation. She was venting and ranting her feelings out. She was probably keeping those doubts inside her mind for months.

“Jiyeon…”, you tried to calm her down, but, again, her doubts emerged and interrupted you.

“What if I get picked as mafia and they discover me immediately? Or what if I am a normal citizien and they eliminate me at the beginning? I want you to be proud of your girlfriend”, she concluded, biting her bottom lip hard enough to crack her skin.

“Jiyeon…you’re such a silly girl, I swear”, you shook your head, barely holding in the laugh.

“…what?”, now it was her turn to be confused by her behaviour.

“Sweetie, do you really think my feelings for you are gonna be different according to the results of a game? Jiyeon, I’m proud of you, always, every single day of my life”, you reassured her, leaving a quick kiss on her lips that left her stunned as much as much as your words.

“I hope you do well, of course, but I want you to just have fun. And even if you come back home without a single badge, who cares? I’m proud of you because you’re such an incredible performer on the stage. I’m proud because you’re such an attentive and caring girl. I’m proud especially because I have such a fantastic girlfriend like you”, every word went to heal all the wounds that her fear and doubts inflicted on the heart of the poor girlie.

“I…I…I can’t believe you. You’re…so fucking perfect”, it was probably the first time you heard your sweet girlfriend swear in the whole lenght of your relationship.

You were about to express your surprise when Jiyeon lips decided to exchange the favor, but this time it was not a quick peck. The kiss was long, passionate, healing and made your lungs burn in the best possible way.

“Better?”, you asked, once the kiss was broken, laughing softly against her lips.

“Much better”, she replied, nuzzling her nose against yours, seeking for your touch and warmth.

“…should I tell to Seoyeon that you cursed?”.

“Baby, I’m gonna push you in the middle of the road”.
