"Last Waltz" | Jihyo x Male Reader

"This is the best solution, right?", you said to Jihyo after raising your head again.

"Yes.", Jihyo straightfowardly answered. " We can't force ourselves to continue this if were not even interested about this relationship of us anymore.
I don't want us to get choked from how uncomfortable it may bring to us."

You slowly nod at her. " Yeah, you're right. We're doing this for the better". You sighed again, still feeling so disappointed that this is happening right now at them.

Giving up on your and Jihyo's relationship.

But all you can do is to give it a smile instead, you wanted you two to be happy then you gotta show it instead that it will not affect you that much. For the better, you said few minutes ago.

"But... before we end all of this, can I have one request?", Jihyo questions you. She gulped in the middle of her words.

"Sure".

"Can we instead enjoy our last moment tomorrow?", she said, making your head raise up a bit more, kinda not expecting that. "Let's lessen the sad and dull feeling that will occupy us. Let's make the ending happy and beautiful."

"Alright, Jihyo. We're going to have fun tomorrow.", you simply answered with a flat smile plastered on your face.

"Thanks Y/N",

So what happened between you two? Simple explaination: you and Jihyo don't feel the love in your relationship anymore.

Everything you two do before are all just fine, like what a normal couple usually does. They cuddle, they kiss, they laugh and many more. But ofcourse there's something mixed with those that keeps them be strong with their relationship... which on you both, is slowly fading away.

Until one day have passed, you and Jihyo both can notice the sudden change of actions, atmosphere and the way of speaking. It's bland, boring not like how they used to be before.

When you two are together alone, you two seem like you didn't enjoy having a free time with Jihyo. You two are both focused on looking on anything you guys want on the phone and many other things to do that will have the power to spend some with instead of focusing at each other. In fact, both of you are completely serious while doing this.

You two can't even afford to give an effort for your girlfriend. You didn't even did your best on giving Jihyo the stuffs she loved the most. Both of you aren't even interested or excited about your plans in the future. Just anything you can say about you and Jihyo having some sort of a problems. But good thing, you two didn't screamed or yell each other so much.

So now that both of you are sensing that something is really wrong and you can't just easily fix it and move on with it... and that leads you to here as you two finally came up of a solution.

"What place are we going to?", Jihyo was walking towards your car while reading a magazine. You, on the other hand; is busy locking the door of the house.

"It's a secret.", you now walked next towards your car and sat at the driver's seat.

"You wanna hype this one up huh?", Jihyo smirked as she took a glance at you.

"Maybe? I just want to give you curiousity and also... to tease you.", you shrugged. You finally awaken the engine of your car and started driving away from your house.

------------

You and Jihyo arrived in a large park where many people are already in there as the visitors doing their business. You parked your car at the parking lot and Jihyo exits the car. You did the same and both of you walked inside the entrance of the park.

"At this park, huh? I like it. It suits to our plans.", Jihyo said while she's randomly looking from back and forth; making it look like she's finding something to start this day with you.

Your last day with her.

"Look at that! Ooh Y/N I wanna ride it.", Jihyo pouts while moving your crossed arms up and down. She's also jumping a but, looking like a child wanting his daddy to buy a candy for her.

"Oh that one right there? ", you pointed at a horse where it has a big two wheeled carriage behind it. The man who owns this chariot is just waiting for some customers to have a ride.

"Looks like we found an available one.", you said to Jihyo, smirking. Jihyo just gave you a grin after then said "Yayyy thanks Y/N."

After near to 10 minutes of a ride with the chariot, you and Jihyo exits the carriage and you paid the man. When he counted the money, he got suprised when he realized that the money has an extra 10 won and you said to him to just keep it. He thanked you after.

You and Jihyo wanted to continue on walking around the park but until you noticed something that really caughts your eyes. You can't help but to smile and then you [pointed at its direction with your index finger.

"Woah, they have a new wishing fountain here.", said by you. It can be described as new since it still has no paint or something. The concrete was just dried up for like a few hours or day was just happened because of some complicated reasons.

"You want to wish?", Jihyo asked her while having a confused face by furrowing her eyebrows.

"Yes. You?"

"Ofcourse I'll be joining you.", Jihyo gives you an assuring smile and then you two walked towards the wishing fountain. The water is clean and clear, the lights decorated all over it are colorful too.

You two both reached for your pockets and grab the wallet as you picked one coin to throw on the fountain. Jihyo did the same. You two are now facing the newly built wishing fountain and it seems like only a few so far who already wished in here, based of the small number of coins can be seen below the fountain.

You wished first. You grasped the coin even more and you placed it near to your mouth as if you're whispering to it. "My wish is that... we both can find the perfect person meant for us."
You threw the coin into the fountain, you witnessed it sink immediately on the water. Jihyo smiled bitterly at your wish.

"Your turn."

"My wish is that... we both can have a wonderful future along with the right one for us.", Jihyo sighed and she threw the coin also in the fountain. You smiled bitterly at it too, making you think if what would you and Jihyo's future will look like if there's still some some love connecting both your hearts.

"Our wishes are great.", you chuckled.

"Yeah it is.", she nods and smiled at you again. She really wanted that person she's referring to on her wish as you.
-------------------
After saying your wishes to the wishing fountain, you two head onto the food stall section to buy some food because Jihyo heard your stomach grumble, much to your embarassment. You chose burgers and some sprite to order and when you received it you gave the other food to Jihyo.
You two took a bite and both of you can hear the satisfying moan as you both feel the mouth watery taste of the burger.

'Ooh God myself, this is so delicious.", Jihyo said it while her eyes closed, feeling and absorbing the immense yummy taste of the burger she had in her mouth.

"Indeed. This is like the best burger I've ever tasted in my whole damn life. Even better than Burger King."., you nodded fast to Jihyo's words then you took another bite.

"They should make a restaurant for this, for sure they can be more successful and a great rival.", Jihyo once again spitted some facts. She finished drinking Sprite and threw its can at the trash bin.

When Jihyo turned around, she saw you looking at the distance where a couple is seen feeding each other with ice cream. If only you two can feel the same exact way how these couple feel on doing this on their free time. They both giggled at how sweet and adorable they did. You envy them that much and when you remembered something about it, you didn't hesitate to mention it to Jihyo.

"We never tried doing that.", you said in a low tone but enough for Jihyo to hear it. You two went on a date but this action didn't bumped into your minds.

"You want to?", Jihyo asked you, you looked at her with a bit of a surprise, raising both of your eyebrows. "Cmon, our time is ticking we should do what we wanted to do now."

You immediately accept it and then you and Jihyo's arms crossed, now pointing each respective foods to each other. You both leaned it closer to each other's mouth until you two successfully took a bite at each food you two have.

There's really nothing there, you sighed internally.

---------------------------

"Agh Y/N stop shooting at the same time.", Jihyo pouted at you, feeling irritated at what just happened seconds ago.

" Hey, I didn't do it on purpose ok? I really thought that your ball will take a shot after dribbling at the rim.", you defended yourself and then you grabbed another ball to shoot at the basketball arcade.

"Aish, Let's just not argue with this and instead focus on taking the 1st spot.", she huffed. You both just laughed it instead at how hilarious it was. Jihyo took another shot and you proceeded it. Now you two are alternating shots as the balls successfully shoots on the ring.

"Oh my god, we need two more shots!", Jihyo looked upwards and pointed at the scoreboard where your username's score and the top player's score gap is just 4 points away. Jihyo became more tensed and nervous as the last 5 seconds hit on the shot clock.

"Gimme the last ones, I'll take care of it.", you grabbed the last three balls available in front of you. You shoot all of them successfully, thus making another additional score of 9 since the arcade will give you 3 points at the last 10 seconds remaining.

Jihyo saw your username rising from 2nd to 1st, acknowledging you as the new top player. She jumped in joy and grabbed your arms then shaked it. "Yayyyy Y/N we did it! I'm so proud of you!"

You can't help but to smile widely at how adorable she looks while celebrating. You sweared to God hoping that Jihyo should not get hurt by what man she might find an interest next, because if that random guy really did it then you don't know what you're capable to do next. This goddess in front of her deserve everything in this world.

If only you could be able to provide it to her until you both grew older, though.

"Hehe, thanks Jihyo.", you shyly scratched your nape when you noticed that Jihyo grabbed many attention from the people inside the area because of how loud her voice is.

You two then walked into the prize corner and the cashier starts to give you the freedom to choose what prize you want to get based from the amount of coupons you received.

"Pick what prize do you want."

"M-me?", Jihyo hesitated a bit, because she feels like she's stealing the reward which is supposedly to be yours, making her think that she doesn't deserve it. You just nodded in response to her.

"How much did you win?"

"10000 coupons."

"Wow that's a lot."

Jihyo roamed her eyes at the collection of prizes hanging and placed right in front of her eyes, then she finally stopped at something that made her excited so much on getting it.
"Hey, can I have that big unicorn plushie there?", she poked at your arms, pointing at the big unicorn plushie that costs 9000 coupons.

"Ooh that? Sure, lets buy that. It's your favorite animal anyways.", you made Jihyo clapped aggressively in excitement. You then said to the cashier about what prize Jihyo wanted you to buy. Then she reached for it and gave you the massive unicorn plushie. You gave it to Jihyo and she grabbed fast and hugged it tightly. Such a baby, you muttered to yourself while shooking your head with smile on your face.

"Omooo she's so cute!"

"She? You want your plushie a she?", you got confused.

"Yeah. Actually, I already have a name for it."

"What is it?"

"Jisoo. I want to use my real name so that I can still acknowledge the fact that I liked this name which gave my mom to me and I want to use it again, not completely getting rid of it.", she explained then pinched the horn of the unicorn. You understood her point, making you impressed at her choice.

---------------------

You two are now in a ferris wheel and both of you are about to reach the highest limit of the wheel. You noticed Jihyo is a bit shivering when you saw her body slightly shaking.

"You cold?", you leaned forward a bit.

"A bit, but i'm fine.", she waved her hands at you.

"No wait, take this. It might get worse.", you took off your jacket and wrapped it on hers. She smell that aromatic and powerful scent of your perfume which is her favorite. It makes her immediately submit her body on crashing to you. She then smiled at you, feeling pleased at your gentleman move. "Thanks Y/N."

"Let's take a picture, the sky looks great. They're many stars all over above us.", you looked upward, witnessing the huge dark ocean filled with tiny shining glitters.

"That's a great idea. Let me just take my phone for a sec.", Jihyo reached for her bag and then took out her phone. You just let her volunteer because actually her phone's camera is much better than yours. She then hold the phone as you two are about to take a picture together. You leaned even closer to her face, sticking to her cheeks which you loved to kiss before.

"1, 2, 3 smile!", then she clicked the button. "Wow look, Y/N the scenery below is so beautiful. Everything is sparkling bright.", she lowered her head to view the surroundings beneath them. Since you're just beside her, she immediately distracted you on taking a look on what she's seeing when you glanced at her side profile. She looks so perfect. There's no flaws you can see through her outside. You're so proud to become the luckiest bastard in the whole damn world to experienced being a boyfriend of the one and only Park Jihyo.

You can say it like that because goddamn, you're not even sure if she's even a real human whoich makes you feel that you had a relationship with an angel, fairy, goddess or whatever heavenly creature you might resemble to her, which takes the form and disguises itself instead as a human like you.

Yes, it is a great loss to lose her on your relationship but like as what others say, if you really love and care at this person then you should let her go. You just focused on thinking on the positive side, you don't need to be completely regretful with this because atleast she's not going away on your life.

"Yeah, it is... but what I am looking straight at it right now is better than those what you see."

"Oh what is it?", then she turned her head to you. She saw you tracing your eyes at every parts of her face while smiling in awe. You want to capture this in your mind so badly.

"You.", she blushed with that compliment. It made her heart flutter, but not enough to regain her love for you.

"Typical Y/N being cheesy again", she rolled her eyes and just pushed you gently. You just laughed at her embarassed she was.

" I'm saying the truth tho.", you said after laughing. Jihyo just clicked her tongue, trying not to blush even more. This is one of the few things she liked about you, and with this plan you two made for today made her so convinced that this is the right way because she don't feel something more about your sweet words.

It's not like the same as the first time when you complimented her that made it stuck on her head for days, with your face all over her mind that make sher keep smiling like an idiot before.

"Let me take one of you.", you grabbed your phone and took a picture of Jihyo. She looks so good, but seeing her with your own eyes is still uncomparable. "Sorry but this is such a perfect shot where your ethereal beauty matches exactly around. I'm keeping this as a memory of this night where this such face of a goddess was... mine.", you forcefully smiled, trying to hide the pain but Jihyo knows you too well. She felt it too.

"Oh I will really miss this you complimenting and praising me like a God.", she said, making you two laugh like there's no tomorrow.

Even if we're over. I will never change, still gonna be a sweet talker for you, Jihyo.", you assured her. At that exact moment your ride is now finished. You two left the ferris wheel and you glanced at the time. It is already 10:30PM and it's getting late, Jihyo needs to go home before midnight since she still has work to do. Something just crossed in your mind when you saw something, and you thought of this a a great idea.

"You know... Before we go, I thought of us doing something that will make this night's ending so beautiful.", you faced her, placing both of your hands on your waist.

"What is it?", you didn't answer her after as you just grabbed her arms fast and you started to walk with her just following you. "Where are we going, Y/N?"

You stopped in the middle of the park where there are couples romantically dancing slow to the rhythm of the song being played by a DJ near them. They are moving in the grass, barefoot while they feel the flow of their moves and the warmth of their skin contacting to each other.

"I was thinking that to end all of this perfectly: we should go back to where our relationship all started. You know what it is, right?", you turned your head at her who is just staring at the couples comfortably dancing. She halts as she tried to recall this exact familiar moment you two had.

"O-our first dance, the waltz... back at our third date when i finally... accepted you to be my boyfriend.", she slowly said. You noticed that her voice is slightly shaking as if she's forcing something not to be released.

"Yup that's it. Shall we have our last waltz, then?", you offered your hands at her and she took it. You two stepped in the grass. You grabbed her waist while the other is in her hand. Her other one is on your shoulder and you two are just staring at each other, synching with the other's movements as the next song "When I Was Your Man" by Bruno Mars starts to play next.

"Y/N, our love was true... isn't it?", she asks you.

"It was real. I never faked it to you, Jihyo. I loved you to the point that I can't hurt you more, that's why when I'm slowly falling apart with this... I made obvious already to you, and you did the same too.", you clarified it to her. You two then switched positions.

"I know."

"Can we just stay at this moment? Like those we had before?", you are asking this in front of her but it is not actually for her. You are asking to the gods above and to those who in charge of time. "I just want to hold your soft hands who calms me down whenever it contacts with my skin. I want to keep my body warm from your embrace."

"I'm even hoping if we could just live forever young, make the time stop and be like this for the rest of our life, forgetting that we reached to the point of this part of our relationship... but it has to end right?", Jihyo said . The pain is already visible to both of your tone and even to you and Jihyo's face expression.

"Yeah. As much as we want to, we can't.", you sighed heavily. "

"Ji, Thank you for everything.", you smiled at her. Tears starts to fall down on your cheeks but you don't feel like you're sobbing. Jihyo winced at what she's seeing, and that made her trigger her emotions even more. "I'll cherish all of this in my heart. I want you to know that I will still love and support you. This ain't really a goodbye for us, because we know that that I will stay by your side no matter what."

"Thank you too Y/N.", her tears also feel on her cheeks. You felt her grasp on you became tight. "Because of you, I finally know how love works and you made me understand it well. You were a great boyfriend to me. I'm so lucky that you're my first, even if I actually wanted you to be my last too but... you know. Everything has it's finish line."

"I admit it's painful and unpleasing to our eyes to see us ending up like this.", you wiped her tears using the knuckle of your thumb. She grabbed your hand and kissed it. You raised her head by cupping her chin. "But let's just don't stop and keep going with flow of our dance now? Let's enjoy the remaining time we have. It's gonna be over now.", she nodded. You placed her head on your chest, as she feels your heartbeat that is no longer synching to the pattern of her own.

You two continued your dance slowly as you both ,moving in the center of the world that keeps on rotating below, joining the spin. Below the moon shining bright along with the stars some are sparkling alternatively at each other. You two are so focused at each other that it feels like you two are along at each other, spending the final moments of your relationship.

The time is running near to the dead end. With 10 seconds remaining before the song ends, the fireworks shoot straight up and explodes up in the dark sky, creating a loud popping noise and a visually pleasing colored sparkles that attracted the people around you and Jihyo. They all look up, including you both to watch the entertaining fireworks show.

"If only can fireworks just effectively reappear and recreate the sparks between us.", Jihyo muttered, releasing a shaky sigh as she hugged your arm. You looked down on her an you patted her crown as a response.

"I guess this is it for us.", you moved her away from you gently as you realized that the last waltz and your day being together is now over and that means... it is now official too. You two are now breaking up. "Did you enjoy?"

"I do.It's the most beautiful and happiest ending of all endings for me. Could it be more perfect than this?", she cleared her throat as she fixed herself at you. You both gave a satisfying smile at each other.

You two went on your car as you drove her into her home. You dropped her in front, she finally exits on your car but you followed her after.

"Wait. Before you go", you grabbed her wrist, forcing her to look at you. "Can we seal this all up with a kiss? For old times sake?"

Jihyo followed immediately, not showing any answer with that as she she grabbed your head and forcefully leaned in forward on her face. You two are now kissing, feeling the softness of her plump pinkish lips and the warmth of each other's breath It may not be sweet like those ones you had before but you just shook it off because you wanted this as a way of goodbye and she is too.

You two stepped backwards, causing a gap at each other. You lift up a proud smile for her. "We're finally free now. Don't worry, Jihyo. Everything will be fine now."

"Good luck with your next journey, Y/N.", she said to you, smiling while fidgetting her fingers.

"You too, Jihyo.", she nods. You two hugged for the last time and she finally turned her back on you, watching the romancer whom you thought as a psycho for wanting to flawlessly tear both of you apart, entering the house and disappearing from your sight.

You returned to your car and drove away. You reached your house and slumped at the bed. Right exactly when the darkness starts to fall even more, you drift off to sleep as you dream of this unforgettable day where you had your final moments, your last waltz with your now ex-girlfriend Jihyo while you prepare yourself to wake up the next day, starting the next chapter of your life.
