Summary
“Hey,” Sae-byeok breathes out, somehow able to sound normal after exerting herself so much. “I forgot to tell you, but—” She inhales sharply, “I’m going on a date tonight.”
or, sae-byeok is asked out and then stood up, only for ji-yeong to sweep in to save the night.
OR, ...these two are such idiots for thinking they can have a “fake” first date without realizing they're already in love.

Summary
Carefully, Sae-byeok’s hands find their way to her hips. It’s not like this is something she’s never done before, but it felt different this time. “You’re right. I’m an asshole.”
Ji-yeong’s lips tremble, muttering. “Then apologize.”

Summary
“Okay,” Sae-byeok whispers as they walk closer to the front entrance, “Okay, this is it.”
Cheol pulls incessantly on her hand, “We need to hurry! She’s right in there. Come on!”
“I know, I know. Just—give me a sec.” She tells him before turning to Ji-yeong. “I’ll call you, okay? I’ll call you when we’re done.”
Ji-yeong squeezes her shoulder in response, nodding. She crouches to Cheol’s level to tell him one last thing. “Good luck, little man.” and smooths his hair down to make sure he looks as presentable as possible. “Say hi to her for me.”
(or, moments leading up to and after a certain someone finally comes home)

Summary
Sae-byeok doesn’t roll her eyes. Instead, she focuses on saying one last thing. “I love you, okay? No matter what happens.”
Ji-yeong is quiet for a moment, so unlike her. “You’re making it sound like you’re not going to get out of this in one piece.”
(it's hard to be apart, for both of them.)Series

Summary
“You’ll also be the prettiest girl there. So there’s that.”
“Laying it on thick, huh?” Ji-yeong turns around fully, back to the mirror and all her attention on Sae-byeok.
“I just happen to have a crush on that pretty girl.”
With raised eyebrows, Ji-yeong grins, resting her palms on Sae-byeok’s chest, “Scandalous. Do you think she likes you back?”
(or, you can't appreciate the good times without the bad ones)

Summary
“Hey,” Ji-yeong says, trying for a smile, knowing it’s only making everything worse, but she doesn’t think all the blame could be put onto her. It’s not like this was commonplace for either of them. “Look at me.”
She doesn’t, just clenches a fist on top of her knee. Still trembling, a bomb ready to go off at any moment. Anyone else might assume she’s nothing but a bundle of anger, but Ji-yeong knows she’s more scared than anything else.

Summary
“Um,” She begins slowly, “Are you—do you want me to sleep here tonight? With you? I just—I don’t know…”
“Oh—right,” Ji-yeong deflates, “I guess…it was technically a breakup, huh?”
Sae-byeok purses her lips, all of a sudden feeling terrible for everything she’s ever done to lead her up to this moment.

Summary
I ask them how that feels, having such an intimate moment captured for the world to see.
“It’s weird,” Sae-byeok tells me, “I wish there weren’t any pictures out, but that’s not really possible, so I’ll just be glad they aren’t taking pictures inside our home.”
“Don’t jinx it!” Ji-yeong chastises.

Summary
Ji-yeong palms the side of the bed for her phone, unlocking it with a sly grin.“Hm. My itinerary says a heavy makeout session is scheduled right about…now.”
Sae-byeok quirks an eyebrow, “Well, we can’t stray from the itinerary, can we?”
“It’s basically sacrilege, blasphemy even.”
“Of course,” Sae-byeok agrees, eyes flitting down to her soft lips, parted open just a smidge, ready for the taking.
