LOVE IS GONE - is this an end for us? (junkyu x reader)

85

you know how in movies when you see your significant other for the first time in a long time, the world goes in slow motion?

kim junkyu will fight whoever started that idea because it’s not true.

he knew it was you. even with your new haircut and a mask and cap, he was sure it was you that he saw you leave their headquarters building just now. but you were gone the second he saw you.

he was running quite late. his hosting gig in music core starts today and he was supposed to go straight there without the members, but he had to pick up their manager from their building because he couldn’t go alone. he had just sent the text message to his manager and treasure's group chat to tell them he’s waiting in front of the building and is too lazy to enter the building when he saw you.

your hair is a lot shorter than the last time he saw you. when did you get a haircut? didn't you always prefer longer hair? are you doing well ? do you miss me ?

junkyu wished he got to look at you better, a little longer, but things really go against his favor when it comes to you. you were quickly covered by trainees who were leaving the building and knowing how small you are, junkyu knew you were probably just behind them. he smiled at the thought, and then quickly slid out of his car to run to you. he had no reason, but he just wanted to. but you were already gone.

he sighed and ran inside the building, went straight to the practice room where the rest of the group is huddled around a table. they didn’t realize he came in until he spoke.

“she was here, wasn’t she?” he asked.

they all turned around. that’s when he saw two cakes on the stand and doyoung's smeared with icing.

“y-you saw her?” jihoon stuttered.

junkyu let out a laugh. “you were really going to hide it from me?”

“she just dropped by to give us cake for my birthday,” doyoung explained. “she didn’t stay too long.”

“she remembered?” junkyu asked.

“of course!” junghwan exclaimed. “she even remembered mine! she—!”

“hwan!”

“it’s fine,” junkyu said with a smile. “i’m glad she still does.”

“well,” haruto interrupted. “if you’re fine with it, then can i also brag about her present on my birthday?”

everyone laughed, including junkyu.

but he can’t help but wonder if you’d do that to him on his birthday.

probably not.

doyoung wanted to invite you and your members to their small dinner party for their birthday before they flew to japan the next day.

they promised they wouldn’t say anything about junkyu; you only needed to show up and eat, maybe tell a story and then leave. but as much as the boys pleaded for you to meet them after their performance, you refused. doyoung was upset but accepted it anyway.

you had missed everyone so much. it had been about a week since you last saw them in person—except for jihoon who visited you on that few days ago. he kept calling you after that and asked you to finally fulfill your promise and come to visit them. he sent you signed copies of every version of the album they released, but only got a text from you saying you’re thankful and that you’re proud of them.
