06; is he bothering you queen?
- 702 wc, half written and smau, small genshin slander
Never have you thought that you would be walking into school hand in hand with Jungwon. You were used to having eyes on you but this felt a little overwhelming.
Jungwon felt you tensed up and gave your hands a light squeeze. You gave him a small smile, “Well.. let’s get this show on the road shall we?”
A lighthearted laugh came out, “We shall my lady.”
The two of you proudly walked the halls, ignoring preying eyes and the soft whisperers being formed around. Nearing your locker, your friends are there chatting amongst themselves about who knows what.
Yunjin was the first to noticed you two approaching as she offers Jungwon a welcoming smile, “So your y/n newest boyfriend lover boy?” she teased out. Jungwon tried to contain his excitement by nodding his head quickly before looking at you.
All your friends can see the cloud of hearts forming above his head as if he’s from a cartoon show.
More footsteps could be heard appearing behind you guys, but before you got the chance to turn around, another teasing voice popped up.
“See! I told you the Wikihow steps could work! Now look at you all grown up. I might cry again.. hold me Jay!”
Jungwon’s shoulders deflated at the sound of Sunghoon’s dramatic performance. He turned around with his arms crossed with a disappointed look, “Please stop lying on my name… you make it look like i don’t know how to talk to women!”
“That’s because you don’t!” Sunoo chipped in quickly with a raised eyebrow. You let out a chuckle causing Jungwon to glare at you making you fake a cough.
Sunwoo stomach growled and he groaned in embarrassment, “Can we go get breakfast now?” and Soul gave him a comforting pat on the back, nodding as he did so.
Walking towards the cafeteria was noisy but sitting in the cafeteria was worst.. anyone can hear you and Niki going back and forth on the best genshin character.
“OF COURSE YOU A DILUC FAN!! Jungwon i hate to break it to you man but your girlfriend is a walking red flag,” Niki sadly said.
You look at him offended, “THERE IS NOTHING WRONG HIM!! YOU’RE THE RED FLAG HERE… how could you pick Kokomi OVER THEEE Raiden Shogun?!” and Niki decided to stick his tongue out.
“Genshin fans are the worst..” Heeseung mumbled out to himself. You and Niki would’ve lashed out on him but a voice you knew all to well appeared.
“Oh? didn’t think you would manage to move on from me.. let alone move on to..” Your ex, Ricky, trailed off, eyeing Jungwon up and down with a frown, “Him..”
Your shoulder stiffens as the sudden weight of silence takes over. The memories of you losing your mind on your bathroom floor and crying coming back to you as you tried to hold the tears in. Jungwon noticed your discomfort and wrapped his arm around your shoulder.
“Got a problem with that?”
Your teary eyes snapped up to Jungwon, surprised he would even speak up. “She moved on to a better guy, aka ME!” he stated proudly as he pointed to himself.
Ricky eyes visible twitched as he grips his new girlfriend, “You think so? Wait til she starts crawling back to me… THEN we’ll see who the better guy, yea?”
“As if she crawl back to a dirt bag like you” Jungwon scoffed out. Ricky was going to throw another hissy fit til his girlfriend dragged him away.
Jungwon let out a sigh of relief, “Oh my god.. my heart is pounding so fast, that was the scariest thing i’ve ever done!”
He turned around and wiped your tears away. His heart felt like exploding even more looking at your swollen eyes as he whispered to you, “Don’t waste your tears on jerks like him anymore, okay? i’m all you need right now..”
You looked at him awed, slowly nodding your head with him.
“UGH GROSSED! Can yall be love birds somewhere else?!” Jake joked out, covering his eyes. You flicked him off and took Jungwon by the hand.
“Let’s just hurry up and get this day over with.. i have commissions to do later!”

The ocean was full of mysteries and secrets that no one has, nor should ever be discovered… the big body of water that was so beautiful yet so terrifying.
You, a regular Victorian girl who enjoyed reading novels under the big tree which sat next to a normal river, finding joy in being able to put yourself into the characters that you read in the book. Feeling as if you were the main character, growing a connection with those around you.
“Y/n, you tend to isolate yourself too much dear… wouldn't you like to spend more time with us? Your family?” Your mother found herself asking, looking directly at you as if she expected you to answer enthusiastically.
Truthfully, no. You were fine being alone and it was when you felt at your best. Being alone in the comfort of your books and imagination.
“If I'm being honest, mother, I do not think that being alone is a burden, as I quite enjoy the silence of going into the forest alone.”
Your mother and sister stared at you, unknowing of what to respond with. You hated the look of pity that they showed towards you, as if enjoying the company of one's self was something that should be looked down upon. The opinion of those older could never be the same as someone younger. The mind was simply at different levels of development, causing disagreements between the two quite regularly.
Looking around at the family who sat around the table, picking yourself up from the chair and grabbing your book from your lap to prevent it from falling.
“I believe I have some important manners to take care of…” you completed, beginning to make your way out of the dining room.
“Y/n, before you go you must be aware of something.” Your dad spoke, catching your attention and causing you to turn around to face him.
“What's wrong?” You responded, somewhat intrigued.
“Because me and your mother have been speaking about a better career opportunity for our company. I wanted to make you aware that next month we'll be moving over to a different town. Not far at most.”
You despised moving… however this time, it would be near an ocean. Meaning you would be capable of observing the same water that your current book, ‘A Hidden Atlantis’ was referencing. The same town and ocean that had been where the novel had taken place.
A Hidden Atlantis was a one of a kind book, you'd truthfully never read anything like it before. The topic of humanoid creatures whose legs resembled that of a fish was always interesting to you.
Something like that could never exist in the real world… could it?
It would only ever be real in paintings, books and imagination. It's place was not the real ocean that was full of mysterious creatures.
However… in the low chance possibility that something like a half human half fish existed. It'd be so beautiful yet terrifying. The same way its habitat was.
Your obsession with these types of mythical chapter books started when you found a ring on the floor of your new (now old) house. You were young, so the red ruby that sat brightly inside the ring wasn't something that appeared valuable to you, it was only ever stunning.
You kept it, never sold it for money… even though it would probably be worth a fortune. You always felt some sort of odd connection to it, causing you to never be capable of selling it. It was too special for you, despite the mystery that could've been a curse that attracted you to it and it's red gem
___
They told you to stay inside, but you found a way out nevertheless. They were silly if they didn't know you well enough to see it coming.
This was the very ocean right outside of your new home. The very ocean that the book described, it was right in front of you along with the same town and streets that the book’s main character walked on before in the history of the novel.
Sirens didn't exist, but maybe you could catch a glimpse of something that slightly resembled that of the mythical creature throughout your stay. It would make sense wouldn't it? Possibly if you were a believer.. but unfortunately you weren't.
Even so, you still enthusiastically made your way to the sandy beach located right under the cliff which your house sat over, finding a comfortable rock to sit on as you opened your book and lit up a candle
The young girl, Sharon left everything behind. From her friends and belongings to her town, all due to financial struggles between her parents. However the kind girl looked at things in another light, becoming understanding of her parents' situation and avoiding internal conflicts between herself and her family.
She took out the box which carried the old jewel inside. Seeing the gem glow bright red, reflecting off the same color as that of her eyes. Staring into the piece made her confident in the color of red, it was a beautiful color that many people associated with the wrong things. It was a treasure, and it made her feel the same connection and reassurance that she had felt since the start… since the first ever day she laid eyes on the ring.
She slipped the ring onto her hand, feeling the jewel slide off of her small fingers. However, she kept it on as she made her way to the dark waters that almost felt as if they awaited her.
She walked the path down the forest, catching a glimpse of the bright moon illuminating the cold ocean. It looked beautiful, almost magical as she walked near. Sitting on a rock and brushing her feet against the water, feeling as if it had been bringing her skin smoothness and youth.
“Beautiful night,” The young girl found herself whispering, as she looked far up into the distance to see the figure of a sunken ship, located right behind a chapped rock.
It’s boards and wood sinking down and dissolving into the water as it overflowed.
The news of the sinking ship was everywhere:
“Ship sank under unidentified circumstances.”
“Ship mysteriously begins sinking in the middle of the sea.”
“An unidentified ship reappears on the shores of...”
It was all over the newspapers, disaster would always be destined to happen.
The light of the fire which illuminated the candle flicker off, the strong winds didn't allow it to keep the fire. It was time to head back home and continue reading inside your room, where the wind couldn't get to you despite your delicate windows. It seemed as if a storm was approaching.
You smiled looking up and at the direct spot that the book described, not spotting a single sunken ship. Even if it was there at one point in history, the likelihood that it was actually the fault of a group of sirens and their enchanting voices and illusions was little to none.
As much as you wanted to believe, you knew something like that could only stay in your imagination. The same way dragons and vampires did. They could never exist in the real world, it would just be too dangerous.
Picking yourself up from the rock, you carefully climbed your way down and allowed the light from your barely lit candle to lead you back.
This ocean was close enough to your house that you were able to see the lights turned on in specific rooms. Best get going now if you hoped to not get caught sneaking out like you were strictly told not to.
Walking on the light sand before feeling your shoe step on something hard…
A rock maybe?
You tilted your head to look below you, bending your knees to get a better look at the object.
It was a ring… a blue diamond ring, washed away on the shore of the ocean. It must've been left behind by some tourist or someone who happened to be traveling the water’s. And really you didn't care to find out, as it was left behind and far too valuable to ignore.
You'd simply treasure it. The same way you did with the red ruby ring that you found in your old house when moving in.
“Y/n!” A young boy called out, running over to hug you tightly, almost as if you hadn't seen each other in a long time.
Turning around, you came face to face with a pretty young boy, beautiful cat shaped eyes that glowed as brightly as the day.
“Jungwon? What are you doing here..!?”
He smiled brightly and picked out a bright yellow dandelion from the grass, gently shoving your hair behind your ear and placing it right in between.
“I came to say hello to a friend,” He responded enthusiastically.
You shook your head and looked up, happier than ever.
“I understand but shouldn't you be with a doctor!?” You questioned to which he responded with a giggle and smirked at you.
“They told me that I should be outside a lot and have fun! So I'm following their instructions!”
Face palming yourself, you looked back up softly and picked up a bright yellow dandelion, mimicking his acts and placing it on his hair right above his ear.
He kept his gaze fixed on you, that was until you picked yourself up from the ground and began running around in the small garden right in front of a noble looking home.
Being a kid himself, he followed and chased you across the garden.
You looked happy… excited… like children…
Finally, your brain snapped back to reality.
“What the hell was that…?” You muttered to yourself, being unable to comprehend the vision that gave you more than just deja vu.
You looked into the dark and gloomy ocean, spotting a figure of a young man looking in your direction. His bright brown eyes which seemed to illuminate more than the moon pierced straight through your soul in an almost terrifying manner.
Shaking your head and rubbing your eyes… you convinced yourself to be seeing things.
You looked back in a panic and there was nothing… no figure… no eyes… simply nothing..
“Of course… I must be lacking sleep…” you managed to stutter, snapping back up to your senses and running back home. After all, not getting caught was your main priority right now.
***
And so the kind girl Sharon ran back home, stumbling upon an object which appeared to be a gem, closely resembling that of her own. The young girl picked up the ring and placed it in her pocket, she couldn't just leave it behind. She'd collect it.
Upon looking into the distance, she found herself staring directly into the eyes of a creature in the ocean.
Her kind heart forced her to yell, “Are you alright dear sailor, do you need assistance?”
However, she received no response…
Chills ran down her spine as he stared at her intensely, not even blinking once throughout the entire process… Sharon, upon feeling uneasy decided to run and make someone aware along the way of a possible sailor that could've been in danger.
Little did she know that she had stared into the eyes of that of the most dangerous…
All because she touched what was his… and you should never touch anything that belongs to a siren…
____
“Jungwon. For dear god’s sake, why are we doing this?”
Jungwon turned around once again and sighed, “For the 100th thousand millionth time, it's because that young lady took my ring. So I'm returning for it.”
“Indeed but this is a bother. Someone's going to find out one way or another and we'll be dead… Why can't we return to the shore and find you another identical ring? There's plenty in the ocean-”
He froze mid sentence upon seeing the eyes of his little brother staring at him. Despite being older, Jungwon intimidated him and he couldn't deny it. Jungwon’s strong point was his eyes and he fully took advantage of that.
“Jake- if you would like to return you can always do so… I didn't need you to come either way-” Jungwon managed to mutter softly.
Jake frowned, “I'll stay with you. I don't want you out here in the human world alone with absolutely no one supervising you.”
Jungwon smiled and nodded, “Alright then, let's make this fast.”
Jake followed his little brother. He had always doubted the connection that Jungwon claimed to have with his ring up until now; more like up until a year ago. Whereas Jungwon dropped his ring while traveling in the oceans at night and was somehow able to find it immediately after he noticed. Retracing his steps and locating the small object in the depths of the massive ocean. Jake was sure that he had a tracker on that thing because that would've been otherwise impossible.
And right now was no exception, in fact it was only convincing Jake furthermore that there must've been a hidden tracker somewhere within the tiny corners of that small ring.
Jake’s frown only turned into an annoyed stare as he watched Jungwon get ahead of himself, leading them to who the heck knew where. “Do you even know what she looked like?”
Jungwon shook his head, still keeping his gaze forward, “Absolutely not.”
Jake sighed, “Why did I expect that… with that keen eyesight of yours I really would've expected you to at least see her hair color.”
“It was dark hyung-” Jungwon completed, noticing Jake nod in agreement.
“I know but for some reason you can spot everything about a person at night except for the thief of your ring… and what if she sold it already?”
Jungwon sighed and shook his head, “I’d rather not think about it but in that case scenario then we'd have to purchase it again-”
Jake stared at Jungwon, “You can't be serious.”
Jungwon turned around, “Should I rephrase that? I'd rather say- I'd have to purchase it again.”
“There's dozens of trade shops on land- how are you gonna locate the exact one!?” Jake asked, almost yelling to which Jungwon backed away nervously and blinked a couple of times before answering.
“I'll find it, don't worry.”
Jake was upset but he wanted to support his brother. That ring was special to Jungwon ever since infancy and he didn't want to say anything rude or careless, let alone both.
“By the way, lower your voice because other people are going to hear you and will suspect us. You're going to throw us both under the bus with your yelling-”
Jake bowed to his little brother and apologized repeatedly, “I'm sorry, it's a little complicated to contain my emotions to a certain volume.”
Jungwon shook his head in denial. “It’d be quite alright if you hadn’t told me earlier that being on land was far too risky. I know just as much as you do so you have to keep in mind that one wrong move could land in us having our heads chopped off,” he expressed, to which Jake simply put his palm up to his forehead.
“Don’t even mention it.”
Suddenly, Jake crashed into a woman who had been walking the same streets they had been, maybe around her early 20’s. Despite the cloak that had been covering her face she looked quite beautiful. Long hair neatly put up in a ponytail and perfectly arranged across her shoulder.
“Oh, I beg your pardon as I was distracted-” Jake stuttered out nervously, noticing her turn around and bow in apology.
Jungwon’s gaze swiftly shifted onto her eyes, his alert up high.
“I apologize- I was a little careless myself.” You chuckled. Jake froze in silence, ultimately overcome by the beauty that he never knew could belong to a human.
Jungwon smiled, “I excuse my older brother- nevertheless what is such a beautiful young woman doing around here alone? Not to mention you yourself look quite of noble status. Is there a reason behind this?”
Suddenly becoming nervous, you began fidgeting with your fingers. “Haha- was it obvious that i’m a noble?” you muttered, to which Jungwon nodded.
“Your clothes and form of speech give it away.”
You laughed ever so slightly and nodded. “You see, I’m actually new to this area and happened to grow curious about exploring the town as the views are spectacular.”
Jungwon looked over to where you turned; the ocean that he himself had belonged to. The cold ocean that had belonged to him and many others who were just like him.
“I see that you are drawn by the landscape?” Jungwon turned over to you, seeing you nod in approval.
“Correct. I don’t come from a very green place like this one, so this feels almost like a wonderland… like those types of forest or villages that you read in fairytales.”
Bingo.
That was all he needed to know… this was her… the girl who had visited the ocean the other day late at night… the thief of his ring that was so very beloved to him.
“I happen to notice that you have a specific love for reading?” Jungwon questioned, noticing your eyes light up as you looked back up at him.
“You seem to be very good at guessing- yes, I very much do love reading books and novels.” you blinked, a little taken aback by how well this stranger seemed to know you.
“I’m glad. I happen to enjoy reading myself.”
You felt some type of odd aura about him.. You were unsure if it was just you overthinking or if this was actually something that you should’ve been concerned about. From the moment he spoke you felt nothing but comfort, you felt safe. Which wasn’t something an ordinary human could’ve made you feel,
~~~
Walking up to a fruit stand, the lady in front smiled at you.
“I’ve never seen you around before, are you new around here?” she asked, making you nod in agreement.
“You’d be correct, I’m not from here, I hope that is alright,” you responded, seeing her nod repeatedly in reassurance to your doubts.
You looked back at the ocean that you felt attracted to for some odd reason. It wasn’t clear to you whether you only felt that way because of your book or because there was actually something magical about it… not to mention the eyes… those eyes that glowed brighter than the moonlight..
“I happen to notice that you really like our water’s?” She smiled, to which you flinched as you didn’t notice her staring.
“I do… may I ask why no families are down there constantly?” you questioned, noticing her give you a confused glance making you panic in case you asked the wrong question. “I’m a little confused because normally there would be a couple of swimmers, no?” you added, your nerves making you unable to say the sentence correctly.
Luckily, she understood you and waved her hand in dismissal.
“Oh dear, it’s prohibited to swim in any waters around here.”
You stayed silent, confused yet amused. “May I ask why…?”
She turned back to look at you, “Oh dear, haven’t you heard? It became banned around the late 1850’s due to the amount of siren spotting there had been. Not to mention the amount of ships that went missing in such a short period of time around this area recently. I feel so poorly for all the families of those navigators..”
Thoughts began circulating in your mind. That wasn’t possible… After all siren’s weren’t real.. They have never been real. They were mythical creatures.
“By the way dear, be very careful with who you trust on this land. Siren’s are very alluring creatures who roam around this town just as freely as regular citizens. Don’t get confident just because we're not in the sea.”
“Wait- siren’s can shapeshift and blend into humanity too?” You exclaimed, almost yelling in surprise before you caught yourself and covered your mouth, lowering your voice to a lower volume.
The woman chuckled, “Why, of course they can.”
“How can I spot a siren…? Among all these humans…?”
She looked around and signaled you to come closer, you followed her orders and leaned in.
“Siren’s will always have attractive and manipulating eyes… never forget that as it may save your life one day.”
~~~
His eyes were gorgeous… almost hypnotizing to look at, you've never seen eyes so gorgeous like his, they seemed almost unreal.
Face to face with a pretty young man, beautiful cat shaped eyes that glowed as brightly as the day.
Face perfect and screaming off the sense of innocence. Almost making you think that this was in fact the reincarnation of the word itself. Which in itself was odd enough,
But you couldn't judge a book by it's cover. After all you weren't even a believer- just a little frightened by something a woman had said earlier. You needed proof of sirens before you actually believed in them, even though there was no way of explaining what you had happened to see down in the shore the other night.
However, his eyes were that of something supernatural and you felt it.
___
You found yourself walking late at night alone in the streets of the town; surrounded by people and their terrified whispers.
“What time did you say sirens come out again?”
“I think I may have just run into a siren- it's eyes look surreal-”
Sirens, surreal looking eyes. Put together it made sense.
Something not human could never fully shapeshift or become a human. There will always be something that gives it away.
However, this was going too far.
“Hey, we meet again.” A voice from behind you called, snatching the magazine from your grip and rolling it up in between his hands.
“Oh- good afternoon..?”
“It would be good night as of right now.” He smiled. You'd be lying if you said you didn't get flustered the moment he did so, seeing him smile with such a handsome face. There was no way you couldn't react.
Smiling back, a bit of pink flushing over your cheeks. “Yes, I apologize. I happened to be making my way back home right now; I hope you can excuse me.”
His face became a small smirk, almost teasing as he looked back at you. “From what I can see, you don't happen to be accompanied by anyone?” He asked, despite your guard going up high, there was no use in lying, you had run into this same man earlier and you had been alone, so you simply nodded.
“Would you like me to come with? Better not get tricked by any sirens.”
You felt your cheeks warm up again, flustered by this man and his alluring personality.
“What did you say your name was again?” You asked, realizing you had never gotten his name in the first place. Unconsciously beginning to walk, making your way back home.
This almost felt familiar….
Sharon walked her way back home with the claimed stranger which she had seen earlier that day.
Questions arose from the young girl's mouth, not anything wrong, at least not to the ears of something so magical and mythical like a siren.
“What was your name again?” Sharon asked in a low pitched muffle.
“I couldn't catch that.” His eyes glew in the dark as his mouth spoke. Something about this man was so alluring and she couldn't catch a grip of what it might've been.
Maybe his attractiveness? His eyes? Seductive and teasing nature perhaps? Everything about him seemed surreal, the way his words were able to manipulate her to make decisions that she wouldn't have made otherwise. It almost seemed effortless.
Sharon smiled nervously, “Your name. I didn't manage to catch it.”
He grinned, “Edward.”
One of the rules about a siren, they only ever said their first names in an introduction, never their last. They didn't have a last name to give, at least not now.
Sharon looked back at the man who walked behind her, his eyes locking on hers as she kept the eye contact for a hot moment. It wasn't willingly, because something about his eyes felt as if there was some type of rope connecting and bonding their souls, as she was unable to look away.
“You have beautiful eyes Edward.” She smiled, noticing him nod knowingly.
“I've been told before, young Sharon.”
It felt odd, they were both young, around each other's age perhaps. It was likely a form of speech however it was still off putting. Sharon could never get used to being called young by someone who looked so young themselves.
“Alright then; Edward, how old are you.”
It was a forbidden question and she knew it. Sirens didn't have an age, at least not that they were aware of. Normally becoming unable to answer the question properly, ending up in them executing their plans earlier than expected, causing a scene that would be far too messy to clean up afterwards.
“Not sure. I was abandoned at a young age and have no idea of when something so basic like my birthday is.” He responded, voice lowering as he turned to his side.
Good answer, Sharon thought. Looking back at the young man and smiling.
“You look fairly young. Edward.”
He was taken aback, he normally disliked the mention of just his first name because of how disrespectful it sounded, and this… this had been the third time she directed him by his first name solely.
He looked at her sharply, “If you could, I'd really appreciate a title in the beginning like Mr before my name.”
The young girl turned around enthusiastically, still skipping towards the direction of her house rapidly as she laughed softly. Her face giving off nothing but innocence.
“But why? Edward is a pretty name. A last name like … would suit you impeccably!” She exclaimed.
“Jungwon.” He answered.
Walking up the pathway which sat on the hill that led up to your house, grass awaiting you at the top.
“Well then, Jungwon do you believe in sirens?” You asked, almost testing him for an unknown reason that not even you knew.
It seemed like he had caught onto this, as he half sighed, half chuckled. “You really can't believe nor not believe in something you haven't seen before. There will always be those who claim to have seen other worldly creatures, you can't believe them, but you can't proclaim them as liars either.” He smiled.
Good answer, you thought.
“Say, Jungwon, how old are you?” You grinned, noticing him do the same.
It's a test, he thought to himself, unable to think of the correct answer if there even was one. As a siren one of their biggest pet pieves was lying. He couldn't even make up something to protect himself unless if he wanted to be looked down on.
“Not sure, I don't even know something so simple like my birthday.” He frowned. You looked back, sincere nostalgia hitting you the moment those words came out from his mouth, however you were unable to pinpoint why or where it was coming from.
“I see,” you added, turning around and looking at him directly.
Unable to hold back, you looked back at him and sighed.
“Do you believe sirens are as evil as humans depict them to be?” You found yourself asking, continuing to walk forward even if the answer he'd give held you anxious.
He grinned and kept his gaze on you, despite not looking at him you could feel his eyes pierced through your skin.
“I think it's similar to humans. There's bad people out there and there's good. I don't see why something so similar should be any different. Sirens are technically human, that's why they don't have too much trouble blending into humanity, they can pull it off rather easily in a matter of fact.”
Your shoulders fell in relief, not even noticing the way they had been so tense.
“I'm glad to hear that,” You smiled, “It’s better to not take guesses about creatures we have never seen or met before.”
He nodded.
“She's different.”
“Well, Jungwon, it looks like we've arrived.”
He nodded and peaked his attention to the house he found himself at.
He had forgotten completely, he was here for a reason and he was going to leave with that one reason fulfilled. He didn't need any doubts.
“It has been an honor my lady.” He leaned down, asking for your hand.
You gave it to him, and he landed a singular kiss on the tip. It was a regular gentleman act at the time, however your cheeks could help but rose and warm up, it was a little shameful to have fallen head over heels for a stranger.
“Yang Jungwon?”
Snapping, he immediately looked up at you.
Yang Jungwon, Yang Jungwon, Yang Jungwon
That name rang in his ear like a bell, repeatedly. What was this? Why did it sound so familiar to him?
“I'll hope to see you another day.” You smiled.
He simply smiled back and waved, nodding in response regarding your statement that had been said a little unexpectedly.
Tears rolled down your cheeks, as you looked at the bed with the pale kid who was at once a healthy boy... your friend.
“I would like to give you this.” He handed the hand which had been clenched shut, holding onto the piece tightly. “I unfortunately don't have much time left, however I would like to give you this. That way if we ever reincarnate again, I'll find you.”
You couldn't contain your emotions, the tears streamed down your face and a wave of emotions hit you.
You entered your home, closing the door behind you while holding your fingers and making your way upstairs to your room. You wanted to take a cold shower before heading off to bed.
Slipping off the coat and relocating it onto a chair that sat in front of your desk. Looking down at your fingers and noticing the bright blue ring missing. Only being left with your original red ruby ring.
You looked everywhere in a panic. Had you dropped it on your way back? It would've been possible as it slipped off of your tiny fingers constantly. It was far too oversized for you.
Suddenly the memory overcame you. He kissed your wrist, in contact with your hand and fingers directly.
Looking out the window, seeing the moon glowing bright blue with a tint of red on a few corners of it. The water in the ocean splashed as if something or someone had just went back in. Enough time has passed, the ring was his priority
Yang Jungwon, who are you?
It was about time, Sharon thought.
There was always going to be different habitats for every living organism. Humans would locate on land, you'd find them there if you ever found yourself searching. Maraine animals would be found in the water, and wild animals would be in the depths of the trees.
Just like marine animals don't belong on land, humans don't belong in the water. The same was wild animals wouldn't belong in the ocean, they wouldn't survive.
It was the same way that the world worked, it was cycle.
Sharon wrote furiously onto the sheets of paper, many stacked up on the side and many scattered on the floor, it was unavoidable to anyone who experienced the same that she had.
The main message the young girl left for anyone and everyone who dared to pick up and look at the contents of this novel which started out as a diary.
History repeats itself. Never doubt it.

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

THEORY OF LOVE ⸺ YANG JUNGWON
genre! fluff, inspired by this article
word count! 679
synopsis! in which jungwon ponders the theory of love on a morning bus ride but his only conclusion is you
How many times can you fall in love?
While there’s no universal answer, most people believe in the three loves theory, you know, the one that says we all experience three great loves in our lifetime.
Now it's been said each one is for a specific reason, the first love, this is the love that plants the seed in the soil of your heart for all your other loves to sprout. It's the idealistic love—the one that seems like it's straight out of a generic Disney movie.
It's appealing to the eyes and we dive in head-first with the belief that this is the only love we’ll ever love, we believe this is what love is supposed to be—what it's supposed to look like—feel like but sadly some lovers do not make it through the storm we call truth, because contrary to popular belief, love is not always so amicable.
The second love, this is the love that teaches us to water our still-growing plant, bury it in rich soil, and make sure it gets lots of sunlight. This is where we learn lessons about who we are and what we need to be loved and to love others.
Similar to a carnival ride, it has its highs and lows, and like an adrenaline-rushed child at the highest point of the roller coaster, we stay in this relationship through the lows with the expectation of that sweet release of dopamine when we reach the highs, but alas it comes to a bittersweet end.
The third love, this is the love in full bloom. The love you never saw coming and it comes so easily and naturally that we question if it's too good to be true.
It takes you by surprise, knocks you off your feet, and shakes you to your core. Shatters your preconceived notions of love and becomes something that is uniquely your own. The love that keeps knocking at your door no matter how long it takes for you to answer.
But the question remains, just how many times can you fall in love?
Well, for Yang Jungwon, he'd have to say infinity, because truth be told, he fell in love with you every second of every day.
He loved you in all the ways you could possibly love a person.
Just like now as he watches you fix his tie on the city bus that he struggled with for a solid five minutes until you finally turned around, mumbling how he was giving you second-hand embarrassment, your fingers skillfully fastening the satin black fabric.
The golden glow of the early morning sun seeps through the squared windows, enshrouding all passengers in what can only be described as a heavenly luminosity, his brown eyes turn into bright pools of honey when you finally meet his gaze, his lips curved in a soft smile.
You eye him suspiciously, “What?”
I'm in love you with you. He thinks.
Before Jungwon can speak the bus comes to a stop pulling your full attention away from him, “This is our stop, come on.”
He says nothing but feels everything when you take his hand in your own as you pile out of the bus along with a few other passengers.
The crisp air nips at his skin, leaving a slight red blush on the pale complexion of his cheeks and the tip of his nose.
A mass of white blossoms tinged with pink sprinkled down along the cement pathway as you walked alongside him, the soft petals landing in your hair and he had to resist the urge to pluck them out for you although a part of him thought you looked pretty like that.
“Oh!” you look at him suddenly as if you had just remembered something. “What were you gonna say earlier?”
He stops in his tracks, looking down at you.
I'm in love with you.
He smiles with a shrug, “I forgot.”
Jungwon’s not stupid, he knows why you're asking, it's because you want to hear him say it, but he's not quite done teasing you yet.
