Summary: Drabble written for 1000th day celebration for YongSeo couple.
It has been a while.
Who would’ve guessed that ‘just like yesterday’ would turn into past. Meeting with nervous greetings and awkward silences - it all was new to me. We were polar opposites who would find how to complete each other. And it’s even funnier that all those differences made us look so similar.
And now we’ll meet again.
Only, we’re not the same we once used to be. What used to be was drifted apart by our schedules and the promises that seemed to fade with time and messages. I only received a text for my birthday. We’re both at fault but even now, I can’t help but wondering and hoping.
When to think about it, there were still so many words that remained unsaid - even in the WGM atmosphere which dictated us with so many sentences to declare just how much we liked each other. Everything to please the viewers. But there was always something - our on-screen relationship that grew and based on friendship, which makes it even more regrettable.
It all went by without a hassle and I appreciate it. Remember how we planted gogumas? It was clumsy at first, we both made mistakes and it took a lot of time, effort. Everything needs time and effort and mistakes are bound to be made but I was so young back then. I was still encouraged - it was the first time when I felt the need to fight for something. I wanted it to last, I didn’t want it to end.
But we were both in the public eye, it’s obvious it couldn’t have worked.
But I will still remember it, the time which used to be ours. The time we used to stand on the stage together.
And even more the times that are to come.

“Do you want me to take it?” Hyoyeon asked, slightly surprising Seohyun in her seat but nothing could be read from her expression. She was pale, her instinct was to smile, which she did without a fail.
“Really?” Some sort of relief swept over her. She skipped a lot, wondered a lot on what to write but she knew - it was only a memory by now so she should remember it - with happiness. “It would mean a lot.”
“I have to see him anyway,” Hyoyeon said, coming closer as she casted a look on the letter, Seohyun’s hand instantly wanting to hide it but stopped in midway. “I never thought it would turn out like this.”
Seohyun glanced around before hearing her unnie take a seat on her bed. “No one did. But I grew a lot thanks to him.”
The blonde let out a small laugh, “You’re at times so predictable.”
It was followed by a silence. The whole dorm had been empty a lot recently, only giving way to the anxiety. She appreciated what Hyoyeon was trying to do.
“But haven’t you ever felt like being spontaneous?” Hyoyeon’s question didn’t surprise Seohyun.
“My priority is work and education. I need to support my family and if I have these opportunities, I have to use them. There is no point in throwing everything away for something that may not last,” She responded, only hearing a sigh from the other as a hand wrapped around her shoulders.
“Yes, that’s how you live your life. You have your goals. But you still loved him,” Hyoyeon stated and it made Seohyun flinch.
She really had loved him. For her, real love didn’t have to be overly hot and passionate or at first sight. In love, she looked also for a friend. She was a person who looked into the future as in what would wait for her ahead and how would it look like. It was her security, a necessity to know she could consider him for a future husband.
And actually, Yonghwa had been all that. And even more.
She smiled, leaning her head on Hyoyeon’s shoulder. “You’re too short, unnie.”

Have you been well?
Letters just don’t fit me but I felt the need to write one. Just because I know you.
Regret? That’s what you would be feeling right now but it’s not your fault. This entertainment industry is no joke. Everything they could do to stop us. I’m not surprised - I had to lead my group and you still had a bright future ahead of you. But you understand it better than me, right?
I only gave up because it had to be done.
I will remember the times spent together.
Good luck.

Seohyun folded it back together and placed it in the envelope. Her eyes were tearing up but she couldn’t weep - everyone else was in the living room. She couldn’t allow herself to make any sounds. So she just let her eyes tear up, slowly feeling the cold air against her eyes as she grabbed hold of the other envelope.
“He gave me two, said that he had written one earlier and then one in response to your letter,” Hyoyeon had said before.
But Seohyun enjoyed it in a way - this feeling of misery. Feeling that she could finally put an end to something.
She couldn’t have guessed how much misery was waiting ahead of her.
As her eyes scanned over it she could feel how suddenly something went off. Her fingers trembled, breath got caught in her throat. She couldn’t hold it in - the tears, the sniffles. Her arm came to her mouth, trying to cover it with her wrist as she continued, eyes not leaving the letter and by now the desk she had been leaning on was filled with single drops of tears which was slowly connecting and forming bigger teardrops. There was nowhere else to fall.
But she didn’t notice it. The only thing her eyes saw were excerpts from the letter.
Can’t you wait for me?
Her sight was blurry and she could feel how footsteps ran over with a couple of pairs of arms wrapping around her and familiar faces came into her view - all asking what was wrong, what had happened.
Just 2 years, that’s all I need.
Everything was wrong.
