"Until I Found You" | Jeongyeon x Male Reader

(YOUR POV)

I just entered at this tall building at the street of Gangnam-dong in Seoul that has a baby blue colored label of acronyms "JYP" on the top of it.

I'm in the headquarters of JYP Entertainment, an entertainment agency where I will be having my new job soon.

I just got received from one of the staffs here in my email account that they are recruiting me to be part of the company since my former boss in my former workplace made me available and vacant for all the agencies who are interested to employ new employees.

Gladly JYPE got me and i'm grateful because JYP Entertainment is really famous here in Korea. I mean cmon, the founder of it was the "Asiansoul" and one of the legendary artists in K-Pop industry, Mr. Jinyoung Park himself who was the brain behind the creation and formation of such famous K-Pop artists and groups in different generations like Wonder Girls, Rain, G.O.D. , Miss A, TWICE, GOT7 and many more.

It would be an honor for me to work for one of the very famous artists here as a manager. Yup, that's the job position I previously held and still the position I'm holding and available for anyone to take and employ me in another agency.

I went into this booth that has 2 ladies in there who are focused in their computers. I noticed these are the helpers for anyone who are either entered here in this place for the first time or anyone who are like needing something important assistance.

"Hello, sir welcome to JYP Entertainment how can I help you?", the lady stood up when she noticed my presence slowly appearing near her then asked me this.

"Hi, uhm... can I ask where is the meeting room 3 here? I was scheduled today on a meeting with a staff from here. It's about my confirmed employment as a manager. They want to have a talk with me about it." I asked and said to the lady my purpose here in a very detailed way while switching my gaze around this place. Damn, this place looks quite eco-friendly. They have many plants around here.

"Congratulations sir. I hope you'll have a great day working here.", she greeted me with her wide bright grin she always uses to approach people on their needs here.

"Thanks, really I feel lucky.", I chuckled.

"The meeting room 3 is on the 5th floor, sir. You may take the elevator on the left corridor.", she then guided me the direction by using her hand to point on a distance. I can see some employees from over there standing there like they're waiting for something. It must be the elevator this lady is talking about.

"Noted. Thanks a lot.", we then bowed at each other then I continued my way to my destination.

I took the elevator which took me to the 5th floor and now here I am about to reach a door that has namecard pasted on the door that says the exact same name of where I'm about to head at this place.

"So this is it.", I breathed out some puff of air before giving the door some couple of knocks.

"COME IN!", I heard someone shouted from the inside. I took it as my go signal so I slowly opened the door and there's two figures wearing all black attire sitting beside a long table appeared on my sight.

"Good morning, are you the ones who I am set to have some talk with?", I asked them shyly after greeting them.

"Looks like you are the one we are looking for. Please, take a seat.", this lady with a short hair offered me the empty chair in front of her and I took the initiative to follow her and seat on it.

"What's your name again?

"YN/LN."

"Nice to meet you, YN. I'm Kim Nayeon.", the lady introduces herself and gave me her hands for a handshake which I accepted. " People around here mostly calls me Sadness because... uhh did you watched Inside Out?"

"That Disney film? Yeah."

"Guess you already got my point then.", we both chuckled after. Well I did that because yeah definitely she looks like and reminds of that character Sadness from that film. Although the difference is that this lady laughs while the animated one isn't.

"I'm Min Hyunwoo. Just call me by my nickname Pinky.", the dude gleefully took the turn to introduce himself to me. I also have him a handshake too.

"So, YN congratulations once again for being accepted to become a part of the staff team.. you must be wondering who are we belong to?", Sadness noona asked me, crossing both her arms after pointing herself and Pinky hyung.

"Yes, Sadness noona. That's what I'm getting curious about now.", I smiled.

"Well, don't worry, you'll finally know what group it will be.", she smiled at me and pointed her finger at me. Me on the other hand, gasped when I heard that I will be working for a group artists not a solo one. Oh now this makes sense why do they need new manager. Guess they need additional or replacement of assistance and guidance for who may this group is?

"You see..., the reason why we hired a new manager is that the previous one already had his contract expired and to deep decision making, he decided to continue focusing on living his life for a new future. Well, he's been with us for 7 long years already.", she started explaining to me the reasons why they hired me here to be belong with them.

That left us with one empty spot, we wouldn't let that happen especially that we are assisiting a lot of members here.", she continued.

"I understand.", I nodded to her.

"Let's go to the point already, shall we? So the group we're assisting is TWICE.", then she flipped her ID along with Pinky hyung too, showing their picture along with their names and I can see from the bottom is where their position being stated, what division are they and from what artist are they.

I'm literally seeing it clearly. It is TWICE.
The Nation's Girl Group, one of the biggest and legendary girl groups ever existed in 3rd generation and in the history of K-Pop. Multi-awarded and... I can go on and on with how I can describe them with their achievements just like how the fans like me and everyone praise them of.

Such a bigtime moment for me indeed. This time i'm gonna work with the legit huge superstars of not only here in South Korea... but around the world.

"T-TWICE?", I exclaimed in shock.

"Yes. Do you know them?", Pinky oppa asked me.

"I-I know them, ofcourse.", I stuttered as I embarrasingly answered. "They're one of the powerhouse of the 3rd gen groups and hell... they're already one of the best there ever is in K-Pop industry."

"Great, then are you familiar with the members."

"Yes. Actually I'm a ONCE so...", I bragged to them. While I was trying to find the next words I was gonna say, Ssdness noona quickly went on to speak next instead.

"Then that's great. You'll be able to get along with them easily.", Sadness noona impressingly said to me.

"So since we had an empty spot for manager position, we have one member from the group that lost one too.", she said which made me form my mouth an "o" shape because of how interesting it is.

"And that's Yoo Jeongyeon, the lead vocalist of the group.", Pinky-oppa revealed to me the name of that member which instantly made me halt on my seat.

I didn't noticed that while I was staring at the unknown, my head is slowly going lower and my lips slowly frowning because of those plently of memories I have with this person all coming back to me once again.

Damn it, I just remembered that she was part of this group. How couldn't I noticed it earlier? Ah well maybe I was really that pumped up on getting a new job experience.

It's been a long time since I never saw her in person. Yeah, I can only see and hear her only now from the screen and the speakers but never in face to face.

Well... there's something happened before that prevented us to do so that lasted for more than half of a decade now.

But it looks like the streak is finally gonna get broken as we gonna meet again for the first time in a long time since I am one of the managers of the group and...

That only means, we are assigning you to become Jeongyeon's new manager. Is it clear to you?", Pinky-oppa said to me while I was out of myself. Suddenly I got snapped back into reality after that.

"J-Jeongyeon? Oh.. u-uhm, Y-yes.", I nervously answered then gulped in my throat.

"Good. You seem a bit spacing out, YN. Are you okay?", Pinky-oppa worriedly asked me as he leaned his face a bit closer to check on me. I called it already, I was too obvious on being unmmovable as I think of her again.

"Y-yeah, i'm just... stunned and.. maybe excited? I mean, she's my bias that's all.", I used my another reason as an excuse to him. Well that was from my ONCE self. But... this real YN self of mine isn't really near from that same kind of feeling my fanatic self is having.

"Great! Then you must know her personality then too. Don't worry, what you see from her and them in front of the camera, that's also who they are in real life.", Sadness noona assured me with a smile.

That's why we can't help but to give pure love and care to these girls because they deserve it. So, we're expecting that you'll do the same as what the previous before you had done for Jeongyeon and to the other members okay?", Sadness noona said as she's expecting the response she wants me to gave to her.

"Okay. I got that."

"And also, you're living in your dream now huh.", Sadness noona said to me while wearing that smug look expression on her face. "At first you were just watching and hearing her and now you're literally all close with her almost all of the time when she needs to. You must be, let's say excited and flustered too.", she said while smirking. I can also tell from her voice and the way she pronounced as if she's teasing me.

"Let's say, both?", I answered. After that all three of us burst into laughter.

"Makes sense.", Pinky hyung said, nodding while pursing his lower lip.
"It's all clear now then, let's end the meeting here. Starting tomorrow you are gonna be a part of TWICE family and also JYP family, you got us? You'll be now free to start with us, we need you also since we are preparing for the girls schedules."

"Noted."

Sadness noona then stood up and went closer towards me to greet me again for a congratulatory handshake which I accepted, also for Pinky hyung who did the same to me. Ah I really think I can get closer to them anytime soon. They're just too kind and very nice to be workmates. I guess they really are like this even more since the artists they are managing has also pure hearts within them.

"That's it, congratulations again YN. Take care of our Jeongyeonie.", Sadness noona said to me that sadly I slowly went away from her hand to break the shake when she mentioned her again.

"I will.",

I slightly smiled but thank God that isn't enough for them to notice again if i'm not feeling well.

I left the meeting room after our conversation, solidifying my new job here in JYP Entertainment. Well, it looks like my new journey and beginning would be tomorrow. I'm getting excited and nervous at the same time.

Excited because I'm gonna be meeting the group I've been stanning since their debut days and nervous because I'm gonna meet her again after 7 years.

The woman I once fell in love into. The woman who I believed in that is "the one" for me. The woman I tried to keep her beside me still but I can't... and all I had to do was to let her go instead because it's for our own good, especially hers... even though it was hard and very painful to do but I don't have any choice.

And that only woman is none other than Yoo Jeongyeon, my ex- girlfriend... which everyone doesn't know about.
If i'm not mistaken Jeongyeon haven't shared any info about us in the public.

I wonder how long my secret would be kept though.

After that, I finally exit JYPE to went home to rest, prepare myself not only to my first work at JYPE and with TWICE... but also for meeting her again.

(THE NEXT DAY)

Me and Sadness noona are here standing in the hallway as she knocked on a door three times to gain the attention of someone who is inside this dorm we are facing at.

It opened, and the leader of the group I'm gonna be managing just revealed herself to us to greet Sadness noona who knocked on the door. I just stared a bit at Jihyo because even though I stan Jeongyeon, I admit that wow she really look more of a goddess in personal.

"Oh hey, Sadness unnie.", Jihyo greeted Sadness noona afted she looked at her.

"Hey Jihyo.", Sadness noona replied. Then I noticed Jihyo turned her head towards me nd now our eyes met for a second. I can tell from her expression before she returned her sight back at Sandess noona is that she got surprised.

"Uhh, who's him unnie?", she curiously asked, taking a quick glance at me again.

"The reason why we're here.", Sadness noona answered. Jihyo didn't understood wjat that meant but ut only lasted for seconds when Sadness noona commanded her to do a work. "Let him inside, he has something important for all of you to tell. I'll go now and leave him here okay?"

"Sure, unnie. I'll take this one.", Jihyo nodded and gave noona an assuring smile. Sadness noona believed and then she patted my shoulder and gave me a comforting smile before passing towards me and left this floor inside a dormitory building.

Now it only left us to Jihyo and me. It's such a surreal moment for me to stand here in personal to the one and only Park Jihyo.

"Hey.", she gestured me with a quick head and eyebrows raise.

"Hi. I'm YN.", I shyly introduced myself. God that would've sound very cringe for me.

"I'm Jihyo. Come, i'll introduce you to my dormmates, I'll just call the rest.", she then gave me a way inside the dorm so I accepted it a walk my way through it. After she stepped aside, she closed the door.

Then she reached for her phone and chatted someone. Turns out, it was the rest of the members as they head inside and gathered around.

Now we are finally inside their dorm and these 8 beautiful, talented and cheerful other members are all here in the living room as they looked at us with Jihyo, especially with one of them whose eyes can't get enough of me.

I noticed there then thay she hasn't left her sight out of me after she just got entered in Jihyo's dorm and she saw me. She must've been very surprised deep inside.

But only one thing I can clearly describe based from her stare.

Longing.

"What's with the sudden meeting, Jihyo unnie?", one of the maknaes of the group, Chaeyoung asked Jihyo. She then set her eyes next to me and furrowed her eyebrows. "And who's him?"

"That is why I made you all come here tonight because YN here has something to announce to all of you based from what Sadness unnie told me." Jihyo said to give them an idea on what gonna happen tonight. "So uhh, YN, the floor is yours.", then she gestured me to speak next by showing her free hand and leading me more closer from her.

I followed her and now I literally look like I got the spotlight and i'm the middle of the stage which they are my audiences. I gulped very hard on my throat before coming out of the announcement i'm going to make.

"Hi, I'm YN LN and you all may be wondering why I came here unexpectedly through being sent by Sadness noona is because I'm here to inform you all that I am the newly hired member of TWICE staff or your staff, serving as the new manager and mostly assigned personally for... Jeongyeon.", I produly said to them even though I slightly slowly lowered my voice at the end when me and the face of a very familiar woman in my eyes matched together. Her eyes widened in shock when she heard that.

It's okay, Jeong. I had the same reaction as yours yesterday.

"Oh! I knew it! I'm calling it from the start that they found a replacement already for Jinjin oppa.", Nayeon said, clapping her hands once to express success on her theory while showing her toothy grin.

"Same unnie. ", one of the Japanese members of this group, Mina nodded. "When I heard they brought a stranger here in the dorm I can tell it that it's about the vacant manager spot."

"Welcome, YN oppa! Please take care of us!!!", they all said their message for me in perfect sync. It made me smile because of how adorable they looked. I felt like a kindergarten teacher in front of my class who are paying attention to me.

"I will, girls. You all have my word.", I sweared to them. I observed Jeongyeon who slightly looked away and bowed her down when I saw a tint of redness on her cheeks which made me kinda confused why she acted like that.

"Jeongyeon, since you already met your new manager here. I think it's your turn for you to say your message for YN oppa here.", Jihyo said to her older and co-member who's trying really hard to avoid my gaze for a while. Her head raised immediately at Jihyo's command.

"D-do I really need t-to?", Jeongyeon stuttered in embarassment. I can see she's really trying to look at me but at the same time she's forcing herself not to.

Ah, her cuteness didn't changed at all.

"Why? Don't you like him?", Jihyo puzzledly asked Jeongyeon as she pointed her hand at me as if she's presenting me.

"N-no! It's just...", Jeongyeon quickly said as her face looks getting even more pressured at how unescapable she is at this moment. She just sighed deeply and gatheted her courage to tell me the words I want to hear from her as an artist and as her new manager.

...fine. Please t-take care of me well, oppa."

"There you go.", Momo then gave Jeongyeon a thumbs up and a smile. "I'm still confused what's making you think twice."

"It's fine girls.", I said not onlu for Momo but for the rest of them already brcause I know even though they haven't spoke their thoughts about what happened to Jeongyeon, they are just thinking the same thing as Momo.
I mean... it's pretty normal to be shy. I'm just new here and... I don't blame her for acting like that.", I smiled at them, while kinds feeling proud for my save to Jeong.

"Anyways, don't worry Jeongyeon... you have my word. I-I'll take care of y-you.", I said to her. Wait, why am I having pauses at my words and my breath got heavy when I saw Jeongyeon uncontrollably smiled at me?

So uhm, yeah. If you all wouldn't mind? I have to go now to fix my things on my new room.", I looked at Jihyo to send to her my request more since she is like the one serving as my tour guide here around the dorm right now.

"Sure oppa! Thank you again!", we bowed at each other before Jihyo and I went to my new room and introduce me around there.

(TIMESKIP- 2 WEEKS LATER)

JEONGYEON'S POV

We are currently having a break right now at our photoshoot for a magazine cover since we are the ones chosen to be featured there.

While I was drinking my iced coffee in Starbucks, a tofu was slowly coming near me on my seat and then asked me something.

"Unnie, can we ask you something?"

"Sure. What is it?", I said to Dahyun after sipping some amount of my drink.

Surprisingly, it wasn't Dahyun who responded her question to me but it was Tzuyu, my maknae who is sitting in front of me in our table. Makes sense since technically based from what Dubu said, it's THEIR question so it also makes it as Tzuyu's one too. "Do you have a problem with our new manager YN oppa?"

"Eh? W-what made you say that?", I asked to them with a slight curiousity from my voice. I wasn't shocked though because I called it already that they'll gonna notice it.

I know I'm trying to break the ice between us but somehow it was difficult for me to do so. I just don't really know why am I getting scared and nervous very much to interact with him.

Maybe it is because the fact that I am still not getting over with him yet and to our relationship that ended years ago that I never wanted to happen in the first place.

Although it was a long time ago, my heart still beats only for him... so that explains why after all this time, it's still always him.

I just can't see any other man like him, that's all. He's beyond way too uncomparable because he is very unique only for me.

"We notice these days that whenever you and him are together, you two weren't talking that much with each other.", then she glanced at YN who is talking with Sadness unnie, Pinky oppa and the rest of the management and staff team outside.

I mean like... yes when it comes to things that you both should do but it doesn't look like more where it seems like you two are getting along with each other. We can feel the awkwardness between you two.", Dahyun worriedly said to me. There it is. She said it all clearly what was going on between us and YN these days since he became my manager.

I really doing my best but at the same time it was like I was fighting with myself to conquer this difficulty i'm having.

I'm even more afraid that YN might probably feels exactly the same as me because of how weird I treat him. It makes me go overthink now that maybe he thinks i'm disrespecting him.

"Don't be shy to tell us, unnie if there's something about him we don't know that's bothering you.", Tzuyu said, giving me a smile I always loved to see on my maknae's adorable baby face. That cheered me up seriously, as I am like a stressed mother being comforted by her beloved daughter.

"It's not girls okay? I'm all fine, don't worry.", I chuckled to ensure to them that the mood is still here with us.

"Even the staffs are worried about the two of you, unnie. Was there anything truth with what you said?", Dahyun said and asked to me. Looks like she's getting a little bit of doubt against me
I can't blame her, I guess my actions really caught the eyes of many people around me now. Now the amount of myself feeling really apologetic has increased more.

"S-so many of you h-have noticed it already?", I asked nervously.

"Yeah. Nayeon and Jihyo unnie were the first ones also."

"Ofcourse they are.", I sighed. Well, they are the ones who know me the most and longer since we're friends since pre-debut days. "Fine, I already knew it would come to this anyways.", then I started to gain some fresh air to breathe since what I'm about to do needs an exact amount of courage and confidence. It is for the sake of making things all cleared up so I need to do it.
After all, I trust these kids with me with all my heart so it's really not gonna take me too long to share to them and realize what exactly is going on with me and YN

"I don't need to do some get along with YN because... I know him already. Way before he become our manager.", I finally started.

"Oh, really? He was your friend?", Dahyun asked.

"H-he was more than that.", I smiled. He's something special to me. U-until now.

He was... he was my ex-boyfriend.", then my smile got mixed with bitterness because I really hate hearing and speaking it by myself with that word. I really didn't want him to became my former love. I never wanted us to separate from each other.

"HUH?!", Dahyun and Tzuyu shockingly exclaimed together.

"So that was him you were talking about us before, unnie?!", Tzuyu aksed me, feeling disbelief. Yes, that was right. I mentioned and shared that I had a past relationship before with someone but I never mentioned YN's name to them.

"Yeah, he is.", I nodded. I was just keep playing with this empty cup of Starbucks in my hands as I am just staring at it while I spin it while I shared to them now a summary of me and YN backstory of our relationship before. "And I'm just sorry if we may look awkward with each other it's just... I really don't know how to talk properly with him, especially when I still remember what happened to us in our bitter past.

I was the responsible for our break-up back then. We were still going strong at that time but... suddenly what I promised to him that I'll never let him go, I broke it.

I was pursuing my dreams at that time on becoming a K-Pop idol. Trainings and school all day long. But when I became part of SIXTEEN, that's what the pressure mostly arrived and... I... I couldn't just let ourselves reach to the point where we will gonna be able to slowly loose time with each other. So I did what I thought it's best for us. I... I asked him for us to part ways.", I gulped heavily as I'm trying to hold my emotions while I'm having a flashback of YN's hands slowly slipping away from my grasp after I said my reason for breaking up with me.

It was raining at that time and all I had in my mind while I was walking on my way home is that I left the precious man I cherish the most out of everyone all broken and standing alone, just maybe wanting me to say that what I did was just a joke and I'll come back running to his arms again.

I wanted to do that but I couldn't, but now that he's here... I had that plan in my mind if I could do it again.

But i don't know if I have a home to return again when I do that.

"Unnie, there was nothing wrong with it. Atleast what you did is understandable. You showed that you cared for one another even if it's another way you did, but that's what matters right?", Dahyun grabbed my hand and her soft smooth thumb is massaging my hand very comfortably.

" It may be heartbreaking, but you thought mostly on what's gonna be the best for the two of you. So don't full yourself with negativity that you might thinking you just wasted your relationship with him and making him feel like you don't need his love anymore and so on.

No you didn't. It was meaningful. Sometimes, we really gotta do sacrifices for something we know it's gonna be important in our lives, mostly for our future, even if it costs something or someone to lose which we either do or don't want to let go."

"And also, for sure unnie, you must felt some regret of letting him go for where you are right now. Who knows, maybe he can feel it too.", Tzuyu added.

"I do. Very much.", I nodded, keeping my head low as I started to sniff when my first teardrop finally lets go out of my eye. "Especially that I still love him. I may be set apart from his side for years, but I never let him vanish from my heart and mind.", and then Dahyun let me lay my head on her shoulder as she gently patted my head while Tzuyu came beside me also and gave me a hug.

(MEANWHILE... 3RD PERSON POV)

"I don't know. I'm no interested in falling in love with anyone these days. Maybe I rather should just focus on what I'm having right now, and that is work.", YN shrugged, again roaming is eyes around.

Still I'm happy for Jeongyeon on what she achieved today and I will always be there to support like I always do for her secretly since her debut.", he gave a genuine smile to the two person he's talking with.

"Well that was sad. But seriously, you two should get a closure instead if that so. You should atleast make peace from your history with her. You really sure you aren't feeling something again for Jeongyeon?", Pinky tried to clarify things again to YN.

"None. It was all in the past. All I can say for her is that she really looked more beautiful today.", then he took a peek at Jeongyeon sitting with the members who were just finished having their orders.

Seeing Jeongyeon's dazzling and blinding bright grin along with her perfectly structured beautiful face makes him secretly want to think again twice on what he just said to Pinky.

(2 DAYS LATER)
JEONGYEON'S POV

"Okay! 20 minutes break everyone! Great job so far, Jeongyeon.", the director of my ongoing production of my melody project shouted. It gave the staffs around here and me a signal to start having our lunch today.

"Thank you director nim.", then we bowed at each other. After that, I turned around to find my manager YN since I'm planning something today and this could be a perfect timing for me.

Well my plan is just pretty simple. I just want to bring back our closeness and catch up those long times we haven't spend together. I'm just hoping that it will be just fine to him.

Yeah, I'm still nervous and afraid that what I did to his heart is still fresh after all this years so I want to do this really careful where it won't widen the stabbed wounds even more.

I spot him holding my bag and my cellphone just watching everyone go with their close ones to take a break.
I approached him very slowly but is enough for me to get alert so he also starts moving forward. Still, I can feel the awkward tension between us but I would just rather stick to my plan still to break it.

"Uhh, manager YN."

"Yes, what is it Jeong?"

"Let's go buy some food, please. I'm starving.", then I touched my stomach to express my hunger right now. I wasn't lying tho because I really went to work at an early time in the morning. My sleep plus my breakfast were not so much for me to be satisfied.

"Sure thing.", he smiled at me then he turned around and starts walking first with me behind him. Yes! He accepts, now all I gotta do is to start trying next.

We entered at a cafe after and we went to its counter to order from my choice in the menu.

"2 iced cappucino and 2 croissants with 2 slice of red velvet cake please.", I said to the cashier who was patiently waiting for me.

"That was much food. You really are starving huh.", I heard him speak which was kinda unexpected. He only speaks if it's important especially when it is about work. I wasn't complaining though. I need to keep this going still.

"I am, but not because I bought many food. I did it on purpose since the rest is for you.", I looked at him with a smile on my face while I'm taking out some bills on my wallet. I saw him taken aback. He was surprised and confused at the same time.

"Y-You don't need to.", he embarassingly replied. I just gave a giggle after. He's still so cute when he's getting shy.

"Just take it. I want us to eat together."

"Uhh okay. Thanks.", then he did his best to smile for me which I appreciated so much. It was enough for me to warm my heart and to feel that what I did was worth it. Now for the plan..

10 minutes later, we are now sitting at our spot along with our orders on the table. I can clearly see his eyes sparkling at how delicious and refreshing our drinks and foods that we ordered.

Then I finally start our conversation with all my confidence to go along still with flow of the progress. "Sorry if this is too sudden. I actually want us to talk. You know... catching up things?", I scratched my arm.

"Don't worry, I understand Jeong.", he shook his head.

"So uhh... I really still am curious, how did you went here? In JYPE?", I said. I started taking my croissant and gave it a bite.

" I lost my job months ago. Then my friend who is working in entertainment agencies offered me a job to take and since I need it, I took it instead. There, I lasted long. Worked with Seventeen until my contract from another agency ended. While I am free, Sadness unnie found me and now here I am, as your personal manager.", he pointed us in our situation right now. I just nodded to signify that I understood his explaination.

Such a coincidence that this will be the way for us to meet again, right?", he added. He then made an awkward chuckle after that. Now that he's slowly inserting our connection between each other, I tried to join him too to mark the start of my plan.

"It is. Good to see you back again, YN.", I smiled. I then took a sip of my iced coffee after.

"Me too, Jeong.", he replied, smiling geniunely at me.

"How's it been for you through these years?"

"Great. There's some things I'm planning that I accomplished well.", he said, smiling to show the fact that he was proud of it. "Got a new car, new house. I also helped my mom and dad to expand their business."

"Great to know that you, Eomma and Appa all doing fine. I remember when you were once always mentioning that to me.", I then formed a wide grin for how successful he is in life these days. Now with this it makes me feel proud of him too that I am hearing him sharing these things that were once just his dreams, hopes and prayers to achieve. He was mentioning this to me sometimes when we are lovers before.

I can also remember the times where he also included me in his plans since he told me that I am also special to his life beside his family... and all he wants to give for us is a better life and a better world to live in.

That kinda went true though. Because of his supports and encouragements, I will never be here where I am right now as a successful worldwide famous K-Pop idol.

But I was looking forward more than this like you know, just a normal life together with him.

Getting married. Having a family. Kids. And live happily ever after together until our breaths reach it's end.

But that was all gonna remain still as a dream and imagination instead because of what I did.

"Really happy for you that it went true.", I gave her a sincere smile but it quickly went away when I thought of those things he shared that was only exclusive for me.

"Thanks, Jeong. Also the same for you.", he showed an appreciative smile. I'm getting happy now that our conversation right now keeps going smoothly, just like what I wanted to happen. "Look at you now, you are a superstar, a K-Pop idol, just like also you wanted to become which you've been sharing to me before."

"It must've been pretty feeling proud for the both of us that we both achieved our respective dreams for ourselves, doesn't it?"

"Can't wish anything more."

"Y-you sure, YN? D-do you remember still what you also said you were willing to give to me? B-because I still do..."

I then nodded and showed my fake smile with it. It hurts me to hear that, as if he like forgot about it anymore. Oh wait a minute, I deserve this anyways. I'm the one who caused it.

"But aside from that, even though I got what I wanted... there's something that it makes me feel lacking at."

"Oh? What is it?", he curiously asked me.

"It's you, YN."

"I-I don't know.", I said with my very obvious cringe and fake laugh. Won't be surprised if YN saw me went weird with that. It's his fault that I'm being like this when I'm with him. If only I could say to him that he needs to take responsibility for making me go crazy in love once again because he's here again with me.

But im certainly sure that I really wanted it to be in my hands again and will stay with me forever where nothing can't stop it anymore.", I gave my excuse to him which I secretly gave some hints to him.

"Keep trying to figure it out and see it for yourself, Jeong. I think it's your destiny anyways to get what you deserve to have.", he said as a comfort and a support for me. He was making a point though. I once got him, yes I'll consider it a destiny... but I wonder if us getting back together as lovers would also be included with that.

"Maybe I am. But let's see what time awaits for me to have."

"And I hope one of it was to make your heart mine again for me."

I then shrugged and we both continued finishing our foods.

10 minutes later, we walked out of the cafe and just about as we take one final step of the stairs, I asked him something.

"Anyways, would you mind for us to have some walk around while we wait for the filming to went onboard again?"

"I would gladly to take it.", we both smiled and then we both started walking synchronously together in the sands of the seashore of the beach.

"The breeze here is so good. Gives enough coldness to my skin.", he puffed some small amount of air from his mouth and looked around the bright sky above us. His eyes then landed at me where he caught me just watching him doing everything he does which was very embarassing. I got worried if did I looked like an idiot while doing that.

"Hey, Jeong what's wrong? You keep staring at me.", he chuckled as he grabbed my left shoulder.

"Nothing, it's just I can't believe you're here again YN.", I said while tracing his facial features. "You really looked better than ever."

"Same as I can tell for you.", he pursed his lower lip. "The long hair style of yours is a hundred percent perfection. Bet you are attracting many more ONCEs this time huh.", he smirked, teasing me.

"Well, they're begging for me to do this ever since the Yes or Yes era so I tried it, so yeah I think it is. I wouldn't mind it anyways.", I said. "They want it, they got it. I'm happy that my looks are being appreciated where they can feel like that.", then we both fell into a second of quiteness as we took a bit of a time to admire the scenery around us. It gave me a perfect opportunity to do also what I was really wanting to have with him today.

"I'm sorry."

He then looked at me with his furrowed eyebrows. "For what?"

"7 years ago. You know what I mean.", I then stared at him seriously. Now I made also set his emotion the same as mine too when I am sure that he started to get back those memories we had before.

"Cmon, Jeong. It's fine. That was a long time ago now. We're okay, don't worry.", he's still able to comfort and assure me even though deep inside I know he is still getting affected with it. Please, YN don't pretend as if what I've done to you was easy to forgive.

"Really? But you can't blame me for this. I know broke your heart that night.", then we stopped our tracks and we faced each other, me raising my head a bit more to connect my eyes onto his as he listened attentively to what I am saying. " Our goodbye weren't good because of what I did. You though I wouldn't had it in mind that you'll be against it? I couldn't do anything but to leave you cause I need to, not because I want to. I've been wanting to say this to you but we lost contact now since then after that.

Now that we are here again, reuniting for the first time after we had our bittersweet end, I just thought that this could be a great opportunity for me to say this to you.

You know that if I have another option, I would rather choose the part where I could keep you stay with me?", I then gulped heavily as I can feel my emotions about to break down once again in front of him. It makes it even more harder to control since I'm literally in front of the person who knows and the main reason about all what I've been through.

" I know. So there's nothing to apologize for, Jeongyeon. I understand it all.", he sighed. He then dropped my bag carefully beside his leg and in the sand and shockingly held both my shoulders. It made me look at him intently.

"Yes, it still hurts but I set it all aside.", he turned his head back and forth as he turned his expression with a sass. " I chose to support you instead and be happy for you, because that's what you want to feel the same to ensure what you did has it's purpose.

Take it all easy now, Jeong. I can't and there's no way I can't hate you for something you never wanted to do.", he then looked around my eyes like a sun and moon following the spin of its world it belongs with.

After that, I unconsciously crushed my body onto his, locking in a tight, warm and longing hug that I missed for years.
Little did I know that his eyes widened, his lips twitching and eyes blinking rapidly to control also his emotions when he heard me start sobbing and staining his shirt wet with my tears

"You don't know how it's such a relief for me to hear those words from you again. I just can't believe you still, you are too kind for me... after what I've done to you.", I said with a muffled sound as my face all buried at his well built chest and pleasantly smell men perfumed shirt.

"Why would I need to be harsh on you though? It's not as if like you cheated and broke my trust completely.", he said with a mix of confuse and funny in his voice. "You just decided to focus more on walking the path to your dreams, Jeongyeon. I don't have any rights to control your life and decide what's better for you.", then he starts giving some sshhh sounds and rubbed my back gently to slowly stop crying.

And when I did, I slowly let go of him and I wiped my tears away, but YN insisited to continue the work by taking the cloth away and wiped my eyes instead. I blushed at his gentleman act.

"So... should we call this our closure? Can we be friends again?", I slightly looking, feeling embarassed as my cheeks starts heating up.

"You don't need to ask that, Jeong. You still is and always will hold a special role in my life.", he then gave me a huge smile. My heart melted, my butterflies in my stomach are panicking in happiness and my face enlightened when I heard. Oh god, he didn't... he didn't forgot me still, we just had finally our closure and most importantly, he stil considers me as one of the most important people in his life! Wouldn't it be such a very heartwarming message to say to someone whom you haven't saw in 7 years?!

With my overflowing happiness, I just let my body have it's control by hugging him once again which I heard him got choked for a second because of the impact I made to his body. "Sorry if that was sudden. I really needed it. I missed you a lot."

"Me too, Jeong.", then he patted the top of my head which made me giggle like a kid.

"Uhm, how's the status of your lovelife these days, YN? Are you feeling lucky with some new girl?", I tried to tease him but actually that was just a move for him to clarify and have my clear information about it.

"Not interested.", he sighed then shook his head.

"Eh? Why though?", I raised my eyebrow." Cmon, it's such a waste if you won't try loving someone. You were a great boyfriend too.", I playfully bumped his shoulder with my elbow while wearing a smug expression to my face.

Then suddenly, he became serious, looked at me very deeply and went closer towards me that made me went shaking for a bit. I was nervous if he is angry of how irritating I become when I did that.

"Because I stopped loving anyone else since the day I let you go."

H-huh?

H-he... wh- what is happening?

Did he just admit that he still-

Just don't feel like I can treat others the same as you when you're too special and one of a kind for me." And with that, my heart abnormally beats on its own as if it's going to explode now.

He... he still loved me despite what happened between us...

Just as when I'm about to talk, I heard the director shouting from a distance that they're calling us to continue the shooting now. "Oh, the break is over. Cmon, Jeong let' head back."

But I never let that to escape this moment again to ask him. So when he was about to walk, I pulled his arm to make him turn and face me.

"W-wait, YN... is that true?", then he went silent for seconds until he slowly lowered his head to avoid my gaze and answer me.

"It is."

(3 DAYS LATER)

"Good morning, oppa!", I greeted my manager YN who is standing in front of his door after he opened it for me as I visited him here in his dorm.

"Oh Jeongyeon, good morning too. What brings you here?", he said while scratching his not so fully awake eyes.

"You said I don't have any schedule for today right?"

"Yup. Day off.", he nodded.

" I'm planning to go out and relax, uhm would you mind to come and join me?"

"Yeah sure. Got it.", he agreed. "Shall I prepare now?", he asked, pointing his thumb behind him.

"Mmhhmm. We'll leave after I take my breakfast.", I answered while I smiled and nodded at him. After that, he closed the door and I returned back to my dorm and went to my room very lively, not noticing my co-members looking at me very suspiciously while Nayeon and Jihyo are mostly smirking at each other since they mostly understood the hint why am I being like this.

Few hours later here at the mall, we stopped by to a salon that I once usually visiting in before the company gave us a personal salon to went through, especially if its for the preparation of our decided style in our comebacks.

I decided to change my hair today since yes, our comeback as a group is getting near. I just done having my hair getting cut and changed into blonde color and now I'm about to approach my manager YN who is patiently waiting for me at the waiting room while reading a magazine.

(YOUR POV)

I was reading a sports section in a magazine when I felt someone was coming towards me. Right at the moment, I heard Jeongyeon's voice calling my name.

"YN"

"Hmm?"

"How do I look?", then I turned down the magazine i'm holding on my lap and I finally saw her with her new blonde short-hair look. What more else can I say other than beautiful? If only I can describe her all the words that has the same meaning as it.

"W-wow... uhm. Y-yeah, it's great. It suits you.", then I can't help but to adore her gorgeous beauty even more with her hairstyle. Wait, what is this feeling i'm having? Why do I suddenly feeling like I'm getting enchanted by her charms? Like i'm being hypnotized by her magic.

No... this can't be, I already told and warned myself with this. I should never let myself fall in love again.

"Oppa approves so that's a yes to me then.", then she stroked her hair and did like some sort of an aegyo to me which wow thanks Jeongyeon, you even made me struggle at bit more to contain fighting myself. "You decided to change your hairstyle, I see.

"ONCEs were requesting me to go for blonde, then I'll give it to them. Plus, I want to cut my hair short too.", she smiled.

"Just do what you want, Jeongyeon. Whatever it is, you'll still look great with it anyways.", I gave her a thumbs up which made her smile adorably while I noticed some reddish tints on her cheeks. Did she blushed? Why do I like to observe it?

"Does it look great for our comeback, oppa? I was worried I may disappoint and not be attractive to their eyes, you know? Like, they can't look at me the same as the other members.", she said as she slowly starts to frown in front of me.

I don't actually know what I am doing but it was like something possessed in me that I can't control myself anymore. I cupped his chin and raised her head to look at me straight. "Stop worrying about that, Jeongyeon. Do you remember that you are much more famous from your short hair because that's where you started in your career as part of TWICE. Then for sure the fans will go pumped up seeing you again with that hairstyle they first fell in love to, especially the ones who are stanning you.

But just so you know, Jeongyeon. You are and always will look like a princess in every ones, eyes. Even me, I admit it too. You deserve their attention and for sure with the fans, you're getting it.", I said those motivating and heart shaking words to her to prevent her for dropping her mood more.

"Thank you oppa, you made me flushed with your words.", she then laughed, trying so hard to cover her face which is getting really red now. "I'll do my best for our return."

"Sure you do.", then we said "fighting!" and raised our fist together as a gesture.

We exit the salon and walked around the mall to reach and look there on the floor where most restaurants are placed.

"Where do you want to eat, oppa?", Jeongyeon asked me.

"I can't choose actually, uhh I'll just let you pick what you want then. I'm just here to assist you.

"Hey, I bro-", then at a snap, someone interrupted Jeongyeon that made her pause at her words. We then both looked at this man wearing a uniform holding a book containing a menu for a... promo?

" Hello, sir and maam would you like to try our limited edition couple promo in our restaurant?", this guy asked us nicely.

"Uhm, sir we are n-", I was about to correct and reject him when Jeongyeon spoke ahead of me and did the opposite.

"Tell me more about it."

"Well as you can see this is only available for couples so what you're going to receive here in our promo is that we have menu that is designed like a date package for the couple.", the guy starts to explain the promo his restaurant is having right now. "We also have our staffs to add more of a romantic vibe to it like playing a violin, candles and etc. Anything you two want."

"We'll take it.", Jeongyeon said to the guy which made me look at her while gasping at how confused and shocked I am. W-what is this? Why is she doing this? What is this woman thinking?

"Okay, maam. Welcome and follow me so that I can guide you to your seats.", then he gave me the way towards their restaurant which made their promo more sense because it mostly contain such a romantic aura and surrounding inside.

We had our seat together and now we are just waiting for our food, so I took this free time to ask her what is she doing with this since I am so clueless on what is all this about?

"Psst, Jeongyeon what is this? Why are we here, we are not even a couple?

"But I just want to try it though.", she chuckled. Aish, this crazy woman. "I never had this so... it made me curious hehe."

"You didn't had any man after me?", I asked her curiously.

"Too busy on my work and no one attracts me. They're just not my taste.", she sighed and shrugged. Guess that was understandable though. She was on a dating ban for 3 years, maybe when that ended, it just already made her lose interest looking for a guy to be in a relationship due to how hectic and strict her schedules in the company.

"Uhm... well, if that so...", I then paused for a second before revealing my thoughts. "I would be willing to give this experience to you.", I offered her.

"Y-You finally agreed now?", Jeongyeon shyly asked me.

" We are here already.", I said, presenting this place we are in right now for dinner. " It sucks if we gonna turn back, I don't want to hurt these staffs feelings thinking we don't like their promo so yeah. I say let's have a date tonight then.", I smiled to her. I hope she didn't misunderstood that though. I meant the date as a friendly one, not something more. I just want to help her with that and also not to ruin the fun for her.

But at the same time... why do I want to treat this date with Jeongyeon seriously?

" T-thanks, YN.", Jeongyeon smiled to me. "So we're gonna pretend as if we're in a relationship?"

"Yeah. To add the vibe, like what the guy said a while ago.", I chuckled nervously.

"Okay, hehe."

Few minutes later, the waiter arrives with our orders in thr tray as he placed it on our table one by one while me and Jeongyeon organized it for him.

"Here's your order, maam and sir. Enjoy your dinner and your date!", then he bowed at us nicely.

"Thank you.", we both said together. The waiter left and that left us with the two of us about to start eating our dinner for tonight.

"Thank you for this, YN. Seriously.", she said after she swallowed a bite from her food.

"No biggie. I don't want you to go home disappointed and sad for me being a no fun.", I said to her while shaking my head.

"Why would I? I am no fun too, you know?"

"Then should I replace Chaeyoung as your duo?", we both laughed because of that.

"Talk to her first then, but for me that's a no problem.", Jeongyeon said with a thumbs up. We went silent for a while to continue focus our eating then she went talking again when something crossed her mind.

"You know, even if you're not my boyfriend anymore... I think you still are the only man who can pull off this one perfectly for me.", she said which made me look up at her to listen more. "Much more, perfectly. It brings back such good memories and that makes this date even more awesome.", she smiled.

"Same too, Jeongyeon.", I said as I feel like I'm catching my breath because of my heart beating very fast which I don't why it's being like this. As I let her eat, I noticed something to her that made me look closer a bit to her.

"Wait, don't move."

"Why?", she asked after putting down the fork.

"Your cheeks and lips, there's sauce.", then I grabbed my towel and gently pressed it to the spots where her face got stained by a sauce. After I finished taking out the part on her cheek, my eyes landed on hers and we got trapped into a stare which I have no idea what was that and why did I do that? But I didn't complain about it... in fact, I even liked what I am seeing during that. Her beautiful face all covering my sight very closely.

Wait, no no no, stop this. Agh, YN can you just act normal please? Stop being like this!

"Oh hehe... thanks YN. That would've been embarassing for others to see.", she said as she covered her face with her hand.

"It may be but they can tell it too that the foods here is tasty that's why.", I laughed as I continued eating. She just pouted at me which I find it cute.

"You really are such a positive person still, YN. You never changed.", she said as she shook her head while chuckling.

"Gotta keep this one for me.C, I said, smiling while patting my head. "No matter how the world tries to bring me down and ruin my mood sometimes, all I have to do is to strengthen myself, keep on fighting and not minding it. Although I admit, sometimes I don't know if this will last long. I wonder what could be the help for me to take to conquer."

"Just open your eyes and heart, YN.", she said to me. "That's the only thing I can advice. Once you saw that someone or something, you must feel that you'll be happy and contented with it to be inspired and to be motivated."

"You're very right, and I will do it.", I said, nodding at her to emphasize how correct she is. "Thanks for that, Jeong. I keep that in mind."

"I appreciate it too, YN."

Minutes later, we went out on the restaurant and thr staff thanked us for trying their service which was pretty good. It really felt like when we are spending our time together at the dinner, it was just like before where I used to be so in love with Jeongyeon.
But I am just so confused, why did that whole time we werr having a "date", it was like I can feel something strange within me again... whenever I look at her in front of me?

I can't tell what it is... but i'm sure as hell it's very familiar. It's something that...

... I used to have before from Jeongyeon.

Is this love again? No way. I resisted many women who were trying to capture my heart from the past few years. And also, Jeong and I were done already. I'm probably sure she would rather prepare focusing more again on her job as a K-Pop idol to anyone. Jeongyeon is and will be just like them for me where I could never fall in love with, even again.

As we are about to leave the mall, the outside greeted us a very cold and slightly strong rain. I grabbed my umbrella and opened it, shielding us from getting wet in the rain.

I looked at Jeongyeon beside me and I noticed she's quite shaking, so I got concerned about it in an instant.

"You're shivering."

"I didn't know it will rain.", Jeongyeon said as she tried to get some warmth by cuddling herself.

"Me neither. It really is cold,", I said, heaving out some chilling air in the middle of the night. Then, I had an idea...

"Here, wait...", I gavr her the umbrella for a while and I took out my black jacket as a staff in JYPE out of my body. I took back the umbrella and I made her wore the jacket instead, whuch I foumd her looking shocked and worried about me.

"YN... what about you?"

" I can endure it.", I swiped it off with my hand. " You are most important one because you must not get sick since you and the girls are now preparing for the comeback.", then I helped her align the jacket more correctly. " Just wrap it all around you."

"Can I stick closer to you?", she said as she looked up to me while having those puppy sparkling eyes that' secretly making me slowly melt deep inside.

"Y- You can.", I stuttered. I didn't even realized that I am blushin already but thank god Jeongyeon can't see it clearly because it was mostly dark here.
" It's good too so that the umbrella can protect us more and to add the warmth you feel. Hold on, okay? We're going to the car now.", then we start walking across the wet and slippery road to locate the parking lot and get onto our car.

As we entered, I opened the lights of the car and reached for the Let me wipe you with towel first. "I'll turn off the aircon to keep you warm okay?"

" Okay. ", she said. I then sat on the driver's seat to prepare starting the engine of the car but when I took a peek on the rearside view mirror, I saw Jeongyeon taking out the jacket I gave to her.

I felt really hot right now when I saw that. I gotta admit, aside from being very beautiful... she even got sexier and hotter than before. Sheesh, I even needed to gulp hard and breathe deeply before calming down again. What is happening to me?!

And wait a minute, did I just saw her smirk when she caught me lookinh at the mirror? Is she teasing me? Just so you know, she's literally being like this sometimes after we got our closure together at the beach. When she caught me watching her, she'll just randomly switch to a pose with a more fierce and seductive like aura, and here I am doing all my best to avoid it all.

Jeongyeon what are you really up to?

"Thank you for taking care of me, oppa.", she said after she finally covered herself with a towel to make herself more comfortable and warmer.

"You're welcome, Jeong.", I smiled. " You're all dry now. Let's get out of here so that we can head back home.", then I started driving the car on the way back to the dorm.

Minutes later, we finally reached TWICE's dorm. As I was about to call her name, I saw her lying on the passenger's seat, sleeping peacefully.

I tried to poked her and gently wake her up but to no avail. So what I did instead is I don't want to disturb her though, I carefully carried her with my arms like a bridal style. I lightfully kicked the door to close and walked ahead to her dorm to bring her there.

I knocked on the door after we reached the floor where they live in. Gladly, Jihyo immediately answered my call as she opened the door for us.

"Oh, op- Je-", she was about to speak but I quickly gestured her to keep quiet to avoid Jeongyeon from waking up.
"Ssshh... she's tired. Where's her room?"

"Beside Mina's.", she then pointed her thumb backwards to show the direction.

"Thanks.", then Jihyo gave me the way inside so I entered the dorm. I silently said hello to Mina who is playing Nintendo Switch inside on their living room.

I then head onto Jeongyeon's room and carefully laid her there on her bed. I grabbed her thick blanket and placed it on top of her to wrap her up. I assisted to lift her head to place the pillow there so that she can finally sleep comfortably.

Now I've done my job here, I stared at her peaceful sleeping figure and I can't help but to smile looking at her. She really doesn't have any time where she wouldn't be beautiful. Even at her slumber, she still looks like an angel sent from the heavens.

I'm too done being confused and getting weirded out of my actions today... so I tried to let it out instead, to the attempt that I guess it would make me understand it even more why am I being like this only to Jeongyeon.

I kneeled beside of her and flipped some strands of her hair on her face to the back of her ear as I am just staring at her beauty. I saw her free hand laying on top of her blanket and my heart started to increase it's beat as I slowly went on her hand to touch and grasp it gently.

I smiled again at that contact.

Not only my heart is working very active, but my mind also starts to collaborate too as I started to remember every happy memories I had with Jeongyeon before when she was my girlfriend where we used to hold hand wherever we go with just the two of us.

I didn't know that I was smiling like an idiot while I am reminscing those again.

I looked at our fingers intertwined together and I smiled widely again.

Looks like letting my actions was effective, because it was all coming to me now to understood that ever since I started acting really strange when me and Jeongyeon started talking again, my heart was the one who gets first react quickly.

I figured that the reason behind it was something I've been trying to deny... but it was the truth after all that I can't lie to myself.

It's all clear to me now that it is really my growing love for her again was the one responsible of it.

I-I'm still truly am in love with her then. With all the efforts of not wanting to love again, it's her I still ended up coming back into, huh.

Now that I finally had my mind made up, I caressed her cheek and stroked her hair one time to say my final words for her for today. "Goodnight, Jeong. I had fun today too.", then I kissed her hand before letting go as I stood up and exit her bedroom.

"I must go now, girls.", I said to Jihyo and Mina who are still playing Switch together.

"Sure, oppa. Take care.", they both said to me with a smile. I nodded at them but just before I start to twist the doorknob, Jihyo stopped me.

"Oh... wait..."

"Hmm why?"

"How was your time with her?"

"It completed my day.", I smiled at her. Goodnight, Jihyo."

"Goodnight, oppa.", she waved back at me, but then she stood up from her seat and walked closer towards on me to add something. "If you're having that because of her, might as well want to consider coming back to her. Oppa, she always thinks of you still after all this time. Better think again first.", she whispered to me. I just nodded back at her while smiling and after that, I finally went out of the dorm.

(THE NEXT DAY)
JEONGYEON'S POV

"You had a date with YN-oppa?", Nayeon surprisingly asked me after I shared to them the reason why I'm smiling like an idiot right now as we walk out of the recording room.

"Well that explains the bright mood she's having today.", Momo smirked at me which I blushed to the meaning behind it.

"Yeah we did, but we just had it because it looks interesting.", I said, laughing at how fun it is. "That doesn't mean anything more.", I tried to lie at them but it was just a stupid move for me because they clearly know the truth anyways and I'm also too suspicious already that I'm literally doing all the moves these days to capture YN's heart again which made me look changed a bit because of how desperate I am to take him back once again.

"Aish, You know that it is not true to you.", Nayeon rolled her eyes and playfully pushed me. "I don't know about YN though if he feels the same already."

"If he doesn't, then might as well I keep on trying to make him again and again.", I shurgged and smirked at my thoughts.

We are in the middle of our way to the JYP BOB cafeteria here in JYP Entertainment building when these two dorks with me suddenly stopped on their steps. I looked at them both and they were just literally staring seriously at something.

"Speaking of making a move, yeah Jeong you should continue.. do it.", Momo said, showing her gritting teeth which signify cringeness instead of irritation.

"Uhm, okay I agree with Momoring.", Nayeon said, poking me to my arm. I looked at her as she was pouting her lips onto the direction where she is looking at.

I followed it and there, I finally learned what was the reason of their sudden halt.

I saw YN talking with Jieun noona, one of the managers here in JYPE who is part of the Stray Kids team. They really look so happy together. I wonder what they are talking about.

In an instant, my heart suddenly felt heavy. Every beat hurts as it was like trying to escape from my chest. I didn't noticed already that my smile on my lips slowly dropped and went upside down along with my mood that was bright at first, now turned into darkness.

Momo and Nayeon maintained their eyes on me even more when I saw YN and Jieun noona start to walk away from my view with Jieun wrapping her arms on YN's waist while his arms are wrapped around Jieun noona's neck.

I felt a mix of anger, sadness and jealousy all at once at that sight. Yeah, now I can definitely admit that it hurts for me to see the one I love doing that to others where especially what's worse is that I didn't even had any information on what's his connection with to that person. I didn't know that YN and Jieun noona are close and what do they treat at each other.

I then sighed heavily and slowly turned down my head while Momo gently patted my back as a comfort and Nayeon starts to cheer me up.

"Jeongyeon unnie are you okay?", Momo asked me.

"Y-yeah. Let's go... the coaches are starting to wait for us in the recording room. We sh-should eat now."

"You sure you want to still go to the cafeteria?", Nayeon asked me worriedly. I just replied to her with a nod and an assuring smile.

"The more you look at them, the more you'll feel pain, Jeong. So I suggest you nevermind them for a while.", Momo said to me, smiling. "Let's go."

We finally went to the cafeteria and started picking out some food to our plate from the trays presented on the counter.

As we head on to our spot located, I wasn't prepared that YN noticed me and approached me from behind which made me scared and flinched a bit.
Now i'm even more mad at him for doing this to me.

"Hey, Jeong! Momo... Nayeon, Good morning!", YN greeted us which Nayeon and Momo greeted him back happily... well except for me.

"Morning.", I greeted back coldly instead.

"How's the recording so far?", he asked me with that damn smile he's having that is slowly making my heart fight back with my mood today. Damn it, YN! I still won't get away easily with what I just saw earlier.

"Good.", I answered while still not looking at him.

"O-oh... okay.", YN said, stuttering because he's starting to sense something wrong and he doesn't know what to do with it. "So uhh just reminding you that you have a photoshoot for Elle Magazine after this at 3PM okay?"

"Noted.", I started to pick up my spoon and fork.

"Hey, are you okay? Why so serious? It's too early to be like that.", he asked me, chuckling which I found irritating more than being adorable instead.

" I never wanted to be like this but suddenly I saw something that made me lose my mood.", I gave him a blank expression, enough for him to be intimidated and curious.

"If you excuse me, I have to eat now... we still have few songs to complete.", then I twist back onto my food and started eating it.

"O-oh... okay. Take your time."

(YOUR POV)

"What happened to her?", I mouthed to Momo who was watching along with Nayeon to us and Jeongyeon talking together which seems to be really weird because she's really cold, serious and somewhat frustrated at something that only makes me guess that there's something that's making him have such a bad time right now.

I wanted to help her as a friend since worried about her so I did it first through the ones who might know what problem she's having.

Momo then stood up carefully and went towards me for us to talk about Jeongyeon.

"She's jealous."

"Eh?", I confusingly reacted. Is that so? Wait, what happened and what made her be like that? "Why is she jealous?"

"Just like what she said earlier. She saw something that can be easily misunderstood.", Momo said to me. I still went silent since I really don't knwo anything to say more about that.

"Find out the truth through her, not me. I don't have the position to reveal things coming from someone.", I just nodded at her.

"And also, when you learned about it... cheer her up and I hope you'll do something to her that will turn out the best gift she'll receive tomorrow....

... because I can clearly tell you have it in you already, so don't be scared to reveal it tomorrow for her.", Momo winked and clicked her tongue at me while doing a gunshot pose. She returned back to seat and Nayeon gave me a supporting nod and a smile too before focusing back on their food.

(2 DAYS LATER)

Jeongyeon's birthday celebration just finished tonight. It was really fun, all the staffs, friends and the members are present to join the birthday girl celebrate her 26th birthday today.

We played some games, ate some delicious foods, talked some random things then sang and danced different songs by our own pick.

Now that the others already bid their goodbyes as they all went home, it makes us here left remaining in Jeongyeon's dorm. Jihyo, Nayeon, Jeongyeon and me were cleaning all the mess while the other members alresdy submit and went to sleep.

As I finished washing the dishes, Momo approached to me.

"Jeongyeon is outside, relaxing. You should do what you supposed to do for her now. She also wants to talk to you.", she said to me.

"Alright.", I nodded at her then I started to walk through the balcony where I found her standing in the middle of it, watching the nightview of their neighborhood while feeling the cold breeze.

"Hey.", I called her name from behind.

She turned her head at me. "Hi."

"Did you enjoy your birthday today?", I went beside her and looked around too just like what she's doing.

"I had fun. You guys are here that's why. Thank you for coming."

"Always welcome.", I smiled.

"The party is over now. Time really runs fast.", she chuckled.

"Yup but I chose to stay here for a little longer.", I sighed.

"Why?"

"Because I want us to talk.", she clearly knows what I am referring to so she lowered her head and frowned.

"Yeah, I do too.", she sighed and slumped her shoulders down. "Before you go... I want to say sorry. For treating you coldly these days. It feels like I am not respecting your ethic of work as my personal manager. If I may be harsh and rude to you, I didn't meant it seriously. Please don't be mad at me.", she apologized to me which I can reay fell that it is sincere.

"I am not mad, okay? I get it, sometimes we have these problems that we can't share to others easily and we will chose to keep it on ourselves instead.", my respond to her. " I respect that, Jeong. You don't need to worry.", I shook my head.

"I was jealous at that time.", she revealed to me the reason which I already know though.

"J-jealous? Of whom?", I acted a little bit that I didn't know about it but I made it also a little bit more real to the fact that I don't know who is she jealous at that affected our interaction these past few days.

"I saw you and Jieun noona last Tuesday, talking to each other very happily.", she explained to me. My eyes widened when I heard and learned that the reason all along why she's having this problem is because of... me?

Wait, what is going on in here? Jealous? W-why?

...I know it's normal but... there's something in there that... you two looked more comfortable together. Both of you were smiling from ear to ear, laughing together which is... I don't know. It's enough for me to feel stings in my heart.

Maybe it was the rising thoughts that she might make you try loving again when I am not the one instead who could be able to do that?", she then looked at me straight in the eyes as I can finally see her visible sadness all covered up in her face. Oh my God, did she just revealed that...

"Jeongyeon, y-you're still in love with me?", I asked her in disbelief. I let my jaw dropped a bit at the end of words to show how surprised I am at this reveal.

"Always, YN.", she gave me a bittersweet smile. She switched her gaze back at the dark sky with many stars sparkling around it as she starts explaining to me how. "After all these years, it was still always you I prefer to be with. That's why I am not interested with any other men around me.

When we broke up, it took me much time to heal. To let go. To accept it... but I can't. Everyday I'm still imagining what would it be like if you're with me while I'm living in my dream. It would've been more wonderful.

Then, years later from now. The chance of you coming back and seeing you again became reality, but I guess the part where we would be in love with each other again will remain fantasy.", I heard her sniff which I can tell that the emotions are starting to take over her, making me feel bad for this.

"Jeong you clearly misunderstood Jieun. We're just bestfriends okay? She doesn't like me or whatsoever.", I said my reason as I explained to her what really happened at that time. Take this as a part of my way to cheer her up today as what Momo requested for me to do. "I've been with her from my previous agency and she's the first one I met still.

I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings. I really do.", I said it with an apologetic tone.

"It's fine now, YN. Atleast I got enlightened now.", she shoved it off with her hand, trying to make me assure that everything will be okay now... but know that won't be easy since I finally learned that she's still in love with me

... and I am really glad to know about it, but at the same time something's bothering me too.

I mean, it makes sense. You said to me you aint gonna be interested loving someone anymore...", she lets out a fake smile because I know that hurts her for sure. I want to tell her already that it's not because I want to do it. I have a much important reason for that.

...but that won't stop me for starting to make a move for you. I just want you to love me again, so I'll do my best to make you. I am the one who pushed you away, then I'll be the one to pull you back from me.", she said to me. I blushed when she said that she's really doing her all efforts just to make me hers again.

It made me blush harder and went frozen at my place when she walked closer to me and leaned her face closer to the side of my face as she was going to whisper her words through my ears."If I had a chance for you still, please show it and don't hesitate on running back to me. YN... cause I will remain all open and still be here waiting for you.", then she kissed me on the cheek after that gave me goosebumps around my body.

She then started to walk away from me as she is about to return back inside the dorm, but I suddenly remembered about what I am supposed to do tonight for her.

Yes, I cheered her up... but from what I heard tonight from her, I know that wasn't enough yet.

I need to make her feel completely alright now, but how...?

Oh wait...

The one I've been wanting her to tell and feel also.

She said she loved me still...

And I figured out just last week that I still do love her too also, as it because it awakened more when we started to spend time together again.

This is it...

My birthday gift that I should give to her. I can't make her wait anymore too for it.

So what I did next is just I followed what she said to me before she's about to leave me here.

I ran back to her and to her surprise, she felt my body bumped onto her back a bit strongly and my arms went all locked up around her.

I can hear her raspy breath and sense her increased breathing she's letting out as I buried my face on the crook of her neck.

"Y-YN?..."

" I used to say before to anyone and to myself about not falling in love again but when until I found you and started being with you again these days made me change my mind instead....

...that I will rather never love again unless it's you I'll fall into. I admit that I was scared to try, thinking within the darkness of a possibility that I'll be left alone again , but I can't take it... anymore. I don't care about it, If I have to beg, I'll do it. Take me with you this time, please. Wrap me up in your arms again as I'm willing to hold you in my hands for this long.", I said to her as I tightened my hug more.

"I c-can't let you go again this time, Jeong. I missed you too much already.", I said with my shaky voice as I started to cry in her shoulders that were starting to get her clothes stained wet.

"I know you were dying to hear this for a long time. I still do love you.",

"W-what is it?", she asked me, still unable to look.

"I love you, Jeong."

"I can't hear it really, can you say it one more time?", she asked me again. Now I can tell that she was playing with me, so i'll just go with the flow too then.

" I SAID YOO JEONGYEON, I STILL DO LOVE YOU!!!", I spoke to her ears closer to make her hear loud and clear.

"YN!!!", she shouted my name then she aggressively turned her body to her and pull my head against her for a passionate kiss that was full of reignited love we had for each other again.

She the lets go and then went ahead next for a hug from her this time as she laid her head at the top of my chest where my heart is beating only for her while she's crying in all joy right now. "Thank you so much, babe. Oh my god I can't believe it... I have you again, you're back..."

"You're welcome, my love. I can't resist you anyways. I'm always yours only.", I chuckled.

"This time... no matter what happens that will try to seperate us apart, we will both face it first and not gonna let anything succeed from it, okay? Whatever it takes.", she cupped my cheeks as I looked at her intently with her loving eyes.

"You got my word.", I nodded at her. Then she lets go off me and then started to wipe off her tears of joy flowed down in her cheeks. After that, I was shocked when I received a slap on my arm.

"You know, I really thought I won't receive any gifts from you.", she then glared at me then pouted. God, she's so cute, so what I did is I pinched her cheek while I apologized to her for making her nearly anticipate for nothing.

"I'm sorry, okay? I kept it from me as a surprise because I thought you will really like this one the most out of anyone here.", I said to her, smiling."Did you liked it?"

"Do you really need to ask me that?", she laughed at me which I did the same. "Ofcourse I do, and you were right. That was the best, YN. Your love for me was something I don't want to risk losing again."

"You deserve it, love. Everything.", then I pulled to kiss her in the forehead which made her grin from ear to ear.

After that, I looked from the window where I saw Jihyo and Momo giving me a thumbs up which made me smile.

"Come, we should definitely rest now. We have work to do tomorrow.", I said to Jeongyeon which she nodded.

In the end, we returned back inside the dorm where I and even Jeongyeon thanked Momo and Jihyo and for the other members on supporting me with this.

Jeongyeon leads me to the door as I kissed her goodnight and gave her one last "I love you" for today before I finally left and went back to my place where I could sleep and then wake up the next day morning to start preparing for my work managing my artist and now once again my girlfriend, Yoo Jeongyeon of TWICE.
