jungwon made sure to get up earlier than he usually did. he decided that he would meet y/n before he performed on the same street he did the day prior.
packing his guitar case and his microphone into his backpack, jungwon set off to the address that heeseung provided for him.
'should i text her?' jungwon thought to himself, looking down at the new contact he had just added yesterday.
after thinking over the pros and cons of texting y/n, he decided not to text her in the end. heeseung claimed that she was a studious girl, so she must already be up and waiting for him to arrive.
jungwon's assumptions of the girl being awake and waiting for him was completely wrong, it was quite the opposite.
stirring in bed, y/n prayed that she could sleep for at least one more hour before she had to get up and head to the grocery store.
a sudden knock at y/n's front door caught her by surprise. who could be knocking at her door so early in the morning? she wasn't associated with anyone around here.
the only person she thought would try to bother her this early in the morning would be jake sim, the weirdo she met when she was moving her stuff in.
with a frustrated sigh, y/n got out of bed and approached the door, too tired to change out of her pajamas or fix her disheveled hair.
"look- i thought i told you to leave me alone, it's almost seven in the morning and i'm still try-" y/n paused when she came face to face with the cute guitarist from yesterday.
the boy in front of her seemed just as shocked as she was, "s-sorry, i didn't mean to wake you up!"
"it's okay," y/n smiled, her cold demeanor melting away at the sight of his sheepish grin, "what are you doing here? you're the last person i'd expect to be at my front door."
"right, i haven't introduced myself yet," he chuckled, "my name is yang jungwon, i'm actually heeseung's online friend."
y/n's eyes widened, "what? you're yang jungwon?"
"yes," jungwon couldn't help but laugh at her surprised expression, "seems like you knew my name before i knew yours."
"seems like it..." y/n laughed nervously, looking anywhere but at him, "i-i forgot you were supposed to drop by today."
"i thought you were supposed to be the smart one between you and heeseung," jungwon teased, "but it seems like you're a forgetful one."
y/n rolled her eyes, "hurry up and come inside before i change my mind. i'm already embarrassed enough."
"all right," jungwon grinned as he entered the beach house, setting his backpack and guitar case down by the front door.
"it's such a coincidence that we already met yesterday," jungwon started a conversation while y/n fixed herself up to look more presentable.
"yeah, i was surprised to see it was you," y/n admitted, heading into the kitchen and fetching the last red apple from her bag.
"you seemed frustrated when you answered the door," jungwon commented, "were you expecting someone else?"
"honestly, i was," y/n replied, "this guy named jake helped me with my stuff when i told him i didn't need any help. he was shamelessly flirting with me, so i kicked him out."
"jake? as in jake sim?" jungwon suddenly perked up at the name.
"yeah...why?" y/n asked, biting into her apple.
"stay away from him," jungwon said, "he's not exactly the best guy to hang around with."
"i didn't like him anyway," y/n laughed, "but now i'm curious as to why you say that."
"not only is he the mayor's son, he's myrtle city's biggest heart-breaker," jungwon began, "just because he's rich and powerful, he thinks he can get whatever he wants. he's probably messed with most of the girls who stay at myrtle beach, and every confrontation wasn't pretty."
"i could tell he was a rich snob from the very start, he doesn't really hide it," y/n rolled her eyes, "but thank you for letting me know."
"any time," jungwon grinned, "you know, you're not nearly as bad as heeseung made you out to be."
"what did he say about me?" y/n asked, suddenly nervous.
"nothing bad," jungwon raised his hands defensively, "he just said that you have an addiction to studying and working."
y/n sighed, "let me guess, your job is to make sure i have fun doing outdoor activities than studying at the beach house for the entire summer?"
"you're right," jungwon grinned cheekily, "i wanted to discuss things we can do. we could go on a hike, the amusement park, the-"
"i'm not interested in any of the things you mentioned," y/n interrupted jungwon from speaking further.
jungwon's smile faltered, "oh come on, there's so much to do here! how many times have you had an already paid vacation for the entire summer?"
"never, and i never wanted one," y/n groaned, "if that's all you wanted to talk about, then you can leave."
"bu-"
"don't you have to perform?" y/n gestured to his guitar case, "you should probably get going anyway, you don't want to be late."
even though jungwon wanted to argue with the hard-headed girl, she had a point.
"...fine, but this isn't a sign of me giving up, i'll get you out of this beach house eventually," the boy grinned, waving at her as he exited her beach house and into the streets of myrtle beach.
while he was walking, jungwon couldn't get the image of y/n out of his mind. out of all people, the girl that left him in awe was his long distance friend's crush? what were the odds?
how was he going to lose feelings for the girl he needs to hang out with all summer?
while thinking about how to lose these feelings, jungwon lost his footing and fell face first into someone.
"hey, watch where you're going!" a familiar voice groaned underneath jungwon.
out of all people...he just had to bump into jake.
"sorry, i didn't see where i was going," jungwon apologized half-heartedly.
jake smirked once he realized the person who happened to bump into him was jungwon, "well look who we have here, it's yang jungwon."
jungwon rolled his eyes, "i'm not in the mood, just act like nothing happened."
"oh no, did the baby wake up on the wrong side of the bed?" jake teased, using a baby voice for effect.
seeing that a crowd was beginning to form due to the commotion, jungwon decided to be the better man and avoid conflict.
brushing past jake without a word, jungwon crossed the street and began setting up.
"you can't just walk away from me like that, i didn't give you permission," jake yelled from across the street.
jungwon turned around , "you're not the boss of me, i can do whatever i want. go cry to your dad about it or something."
jake was left speechless and humiliated after hearing the crowd whispering around him.
"you'll pay for this, yang," jake muttered under his breath as he adjusted his glasses before crossing the street where jungwon was performing.
meanwhile, y/n finally decided to head to the grocery store after spending time talking to her family back home.
the girl threw her bag over her shoulder and walked out of her cozy beach house to the grocery store, which wasn't very far.
upon arrival, y/n grabbed a basket and began to pick up the items and check them off of her grocery list.
while y/n was peacefully shopping, she jumped at the sudden screams that were coming from the front of the grocery store.
unsure of what was going on, y/n moved to the back of the store where other customers were shopping.
"come back here yang jungwon!" jake's voice boomed throughout the store, catching y/n's attention.
jungwon was here?
right on cue, y/n saw the familiar black-haired boy run through the first aisle, brushing past customers while muttering small apologies along the way.
"sorry-" jungwon made eye contact with y/n as he brushed past her, his shoulder bumping against hers.
meanwhile, jake wasn't too far behind. instead of apologizing to the customers, he simply pushed past them without a care in the world.
as jake was about to catch up to jungwon, he smirked when he made eye contact with ji y/n, the girl he met the other day.
"didn't expect to see you here, beautiful," jake greeted her, wiping off the sweat from his forehead and the fog from his glasses with his shirt.
y/n let out an irritated sigh "what do you think you're doing? you can't run around the grocery store like this."
jake snickered, "i can do whatever i want, i'm the powerful mayor's son."
"the manager's probably going to tell your dad, what are you going to do then?" y/n asked, crossing her arms.
jake shrugged his shoulders, "i know they won't tell my father anything, they never do."
"you can't just get away with everything, that's not how life works," y/n argued.
"oh sweetie," jake approached the girl, tilting her chin so she would meet his gaze, "i get away with more than you think."
y/n was about to slap his hand away, but jungwon was quick to do that first, "come on y/n, let's get out of here."
"hey, where do you think you're going?" jake quickly grabbed jungwon's collar, "i'm not done with you yet...i just got distracted!"
y/n was the one who slapped jake's hand away this time and grabbed jungwon's arm, dragging him out of the grocery store, dropping her basket of groceries along the way.
𓇼
"thanks for saving me from jake," y/n thanked jungwon after running far away from the grocery store.
"no need to thank me, i should be thanking you," jungwon grinned, "you helped me get away from jake too."
"why was he running after you anyway?" y/n asked.
"it's...nothing big," jungwon sighed, "jake just hates it when someone is brave enough to stand up against him."
"he's a jerk," y/n shook her head, "how does he get away with so much?"
"he's the mayor's son, as he likes to refer to himself as, so he has his ways," jungwon replied, "everyone is scared of his capabilities...as if he had any."
y/n couldn't help but laugh, "you have a point there i guess."
the two were silent for a few moments, trying to catch their breaths after running for so long.
"let me make it up to you, for getting me away from jake," y/n suddenly said, "it's the least i can do."
jungwon shook his head, "no, it's all right. you already paid me back by saving me in return."
"that's not pay back, i wanted to help you," y/n rolled her eyes, "just let me do something in return."
jungwon was about to reject her offer for the last time, but his eyes lit up suddenly.
"you know what, sure," jungwon grinned, "i know the perfect way you could pay me back."
"oh? that's great, what is it?"
jungwon grabbed her wrist, a smirk forming upon his lips, "it's a secret."
being pulled by the male down the sidewalk, y/n sighed heavily.
'what did i get myself into?'
