Catch Me (Purinz/Chaewon x Yunjin)

April: Part Three/May: Part One

As if Chaewon's hospital drug-induced dreams weren't enough, the actual senior barbecue began to roll around. Yunjin had so generously offered to host it, as she claimed she could tolerate a day in the sun with the Delinquents and her family if it made Chaewon smile.

Chaewon knew that they were actually growing on her, but she was content to let Yunjin live in her faux disgruntled state.

Currently, nearly everyone had already arrived, clad in their finest swimwear for the hottest Saturday April had to offer. Kazuha had begged Daesung to behave himself and cool it with the Dad jokes, and as such, he and the other three adults promised to make themselves scarce, the barbecue factor replaced by ordered pizza. Hyolyn didn't want anyone setting her home on fire.

Everyone seemed to be okay with that, and thoughtlessly submerged themselves in the water, the music blasted to a new high.

Chaewon was the only one who wasn't out quite yet, even though she'd promised Yunjin she would be, and her presence (or lack thereof) was beginning to be felt.

She was holed up in Yunjin's guest house, haphazardly throwing a shirt on when she heard a soft knock at the door, followed by a faint, "Chaewon?"

Of course Yunjin would be worried about her. Chaewon's inner self swooned. Yunjin was always so attentive.

"...Come in." Chaewon offered lamely, feeling awful that she'd commandeered her girlfriend's room.

"Everything okay?" Yunjin asked, appearing before her with a worried expression, bunched towels and sunscreen in hand.

God, she was a vision. She was wearing a two piece that deliciously framed her impeccable abs, her hair tied back in a messy bun, her muscles on full display. Chaewon had to physically stop what she was doing and blink several times, swallowing the lump in her throat.

How on earth had she ever scored that ?

"...You look..." Chaewon's throat was actually dry. "...So..."

Yunjin smiled amusedly, stepping forward to pull Chaewon in her arms. "Thank you." She whispered humbly, her cheeks tinted rosy with blush.

"I didn't even finish. I'm still searching for the word." Chaewon admitted, and she was taken by the fact that Yunjin was genuinely blushing at her suave attempts.

Yunjin leaned down to capture her lips. At first it was warm, soft, inviting, like the transitional breeze just outside the door.

But rather quickly, she read Chaewon like a book.

"What's the matter?" Yunjin murmured, pulling away. "You're not happy, I can tell."

"What?" Chaewon scoffed, feeling guilty for even trying to pull the wool over her eyes. "Are you kidding?  A day with your family and my delinquents?"

"Are you okay? Cramps?" Yunjin asked, ghosting her fingers over Chaewon's stomach, knowing full well that it wasn't her time of the month.

"I'm...golden." Chaewon lied, grabbing a towel. "Let's go."

Yunjin cocked a brow. "Chaewon. You're not even wearing your bathing suit."

Chaewon blinked. "Oh...yeah. I hate swimming."

Yunjin huffed. "Oh? Is that why your dad used to take you to the lake every year for your birthday?"

Chaewon worried her lip. "I fucking hate that you know me so well." She huffed. "...I didn't mean that." She added quickly, fearing the damage was already done.

When she glanced up, Yunjin's face was sympathetic. Yunjin cupped her cheeks, worried eyes searching her anxious gaze.

"...Have you...seen yourself?" Chaewon admitted with a huff. "...Or Kazuha? Or...Wonyoung? And Sakura?"
