Remember when - wallows
Wonwoo x gn!reader
based off the song remember when by wallows (i had that song on repeat throughout 2020 its soooo good)
(felt a little goofy and fluffy so i decided to post this since its been in my drafts for like two months now, anyway enjoy!!! originally written as vernon x reader but i felt like wonu fit it quite well too)(wc - 852!)
I remember when we ran from the pool, all the decorations up in your room
Pool water splashes around the backyard of your family beach house. Loud laughter echoes through the silent neighbourhood, but what could you expect? It was 11pm.
A loud voice cuts ongoing chatter as Soonyoung shouts ‘Cannon ball!’ followed by a sharp splash. You could hear Seungkwan and Chan start cackling as Soonyoung leaves the pool with a red chest and a cringe on his face.
You giggled as Wonwoo lazily slung his arm across your shoulder, making you look up at his own grin. You’ve always loved the look in his eyes when he looked at his friends. It reminded you of how he loves people, not by words or acts of service but by paying his full attention to them. He’d never seem the type, always looking as if he’s in his own world, but it was how he listened and remembered.
Taking Wonwoo’s hand in yours, you drag him into the house and up the stairs. The boys outside were too busy teasing Soonyoung to notice,
“What’s up?” He asks once you two got to your room,
“Nothing, I just wanna stay up here a while”
He tilts his head and shrugs, wondering if anything went wrong downstairs he hadn’t noticed. When he sees you jumping onto your bed, he follows suit, laying down next to you.
The both of you were on your bellies, heads turned to face each other. A smile played at your lips as he closed his eyes and released a sigh of content. The background noise of your friends chattering downstairs as well as the faint music playing on the speaker filled the silence of the room.
It was quite obvious that your relationship with Wonwoo was different compared to the rest. They were all your best friends, but Wonwoo was more than that. Nothing you both did ever crossed boundaries to what lovers do, it was just that with him, the lines were blurred and everything made sense.
You’d always thought about how he’d felt about those blurred lines. Was he oblivious like he seems to be all the time, or was he unknowingly on the same page as you, just a few sentences behind.
Thinking of what you two were, frustrated you sometimes. Some nights, you’d stay awake thinking of him and his stupid grin (that always managed to release butterflies in your stomach), your chat with him opened and that silly “What are we” message on the verge of being sent. Not that he’d reply anyway, they’re always typed out at around 2 in the morning.
And I couldn’t find the right words to use.
You only notice the frown on your face when you feel a thumb swipe your cheek, blinking a few times before focusing on Wonwoo’s face,
“What’s got you frowning like that?” He says, a playful grin on his lips and a soft look in his eyes,
“Like what?”
“You know, like when I take a bite out of your sandwich and you scold me with that cute little face you make when you’re mad” He holds his hand on your cheek, probably feeling the rush of warmth flooding your face.
You stay silent after that, wishing time would stop with him holding your face in his hand like it's the most fragile thing on earth. You sigh and screw your eyes shut, turning your head into the pillows to save yourself from embarrassment.
But I knew that you knew.
Feeling his hand in your hair, that was when you knew you had to tell him. Tell him after all this time, how you felt, how you feel and how you hope to keep feeling that tingling fondness you saved for him and him only,
“Wonwoo”
“Y/n”
You look at him, and your mind goes blank, but he must’ve known what was happening in your head. After all, he knows you more than anyone. He knows how you like your coffee in the morning, he knows that you prefer lavender over roses, he knows how you only use one specific hair tie anytime you’d put your hair up because he knew that if you didn’t have that hair tie, you’d have a mental breakdown.
Words get caught up in your throat, you couldn’t think of anything right to say. You could only stare at the boy lying opposite of you in silence, a tangled confession on the verge of being spoken.
You felt like giving up, like leaving and never coming back. A sigh escaped your mouth, one that sounded of defeat.
“I know”
You furrow your eyebrows, “What?”
“I love you too, Y/n”
You could only stare at him in disbelief. Disbelief of the fact that he knew, and disbelief that he loved you too. Your eyes widened and your jaw dropped while Wonwoo chuckled and pushed it closed only to pinch your cheeks afterwards.
The background noise of the pool party only getting quieter the more it felt as if it was only the two of you in an empty world.
