Right Person, Wrong Time | Yunho (TVXQ) Imagine

Pairing: Jung Yunho x Reader

Requested by anon: Heyy fifi, so i have this idea in mind where yunho(tvxq) and the reader were a highschool sweetheart but they broke up because they got busy with their own life and they just shifted apart. But somewhere in the future they meet again thru some friends, the sparks are still there, but it's not the right timing for them. Im gonna leave the ending up to you^^ im down for any angst or fluff ending ((just dont leave me hanging please(⁠´⁠°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥⁠ω⁠°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥⁠｀⁠))) thank you❤️

Genre: angst

Word Count: 1,565 words

A/n: i immediately thought of three different taylor swift songs to inspire this writing session (slut!, right where you left me, and New Year's Day). the urge to just have made this a three-part installment, based on the three songs, was there, but i resisted it (unless you guys have other plans.....). anyways, please enjoy!

Tunes: slut!, right where you left me, New Year's Day by taylor swift; favorite crime by olivia rodrigo among others

“The divorce rate rate for high school sweethearts is 54 percent during the first ten years of marriage” (Tenn and Tenn, 2022).

The second you got the notification you were filled with immense relief as you felt you’d dodged a bullet in becoming a statistic. Though you and Yunho had been high school sweethearts, slowly but surely coming to terms with the idea of marriage being the end goal as your relationship progressed into adulthood, things did not stay that way. When he’d debuted with TVXQ, you had been thrilled to hear the news, it had been his dream after all. That happiness only lasted so long before he began drifting, needing to focus on the group - you yourself were also busy, getting ready for college entrance exams, eventually started studying, and picking up a part-time job to make ends meet as you were far away from home. Over the course of three years, the two of you had grown accustomed to seeing each other less and less.

Then 2009 happened.

If you were used to seeing less and less of your boyfriend before then, he was practically a ghost once that year hit. It was hard, you’d admit that much. Between the legal issues brought up both upon and by the group and the recent full-time position you’d taken shortly after your graduation earlier in the year, it was a miracle the public even found out about your relationship to begin with. That certainly hadn’t helped your relationship. Between being busier than you two had even been in your lives and being scrutinized for dating, it was no wonder the two of you began drifting apart until eventually, just two weeks shy of what would have been your seven year anniversary, the two of you decided to break things off.

So while you hadn’t become a high school sweetheart divorce statistic, why did it feel like you had some other statistic?

~~~

“Come on, it’ll be fun!” your friend begged, trying to reason with you to come to a meetup. “I promise it’ll be fun and if you don’t like it after thirty minutes, you can leave if you want.”

Why can I not go to start with? you wonder without voicing, not wanting to upset her. She was trying so hard to get you to take a break from working so much, and you weren’t having it. In all honesty, you would rather not go, but what can you do sometimes?

“Please?”

Letting out a breath, you agreed, “Fine. But I’m only going for thirty minutes regardless of if I like it or not.”

You watched as your friend jumped for joy, immediately rushing to your closet and beginning to pull out various articles of clothing attempting to make an outfit that was fit for a nightclub.

“Woahwoahwoahwoah” you rushed out. “I’m not wearing something that short and skimpy. No way in hell.”

She pouted, dropping the mini skirt you hadn’t seen in years ( that you haven't even worn in much longer than that ) onto your bed. “But I want to introduce you to someone! I really think you like him and that he will like you just as much but you need to make a good impression too!”

“A good impression by leaving little to the imagination of my body?”

There was a split moment of silence.

“Okay, maybe not the right idea from me, but you can’t just go wearing jeans and a t-shirt! You have to dress up! Look nice!”

You deadpanned, blinking slowly at her as she folded her hands in front of her, batting her eyelashes at you as if it would make her point more valid.

“Fine. But I’m picking my outfit.”

~~~

You were certain you were going to wake up with a pounding headache tomorrow morning - and not from a hangover but from the loud music the club had playing. While your friend and some of the other people of your group were clearly tipsy or flat out drunk having had shot after shot within the first hour of your arrival, you were only just beginning to nurse your second drink of the night four hours into the outing. Turns out you can't go home on your own when you get a ride from someone else. Oh how easily you fell into that one.

“Oh!” you heard your friend call out as she looked in your direction but looking past you. “There he is! Come on!”

She grabbed your hand tugging you away from the group and towards the entrance of the club. You were confused as to where she was going until your eyes landed on a man who had just entered the club. A man you were very well acquainted with.

“Yunho!” your friend called out, waving her hand up in the air and grabbing his attention. For a split millisecond, his eyes widened in recognition as he saw you before he quickly recovered waving at your friend as he walked over. “I almost thought you weren’t going to come!”

“I got caught up with something,” he explained, before looking at you and extending his hand. “Is this the friend you were telling me about?”

“Oh! Yeah,” she giggled, introducing you to one another. “This is Jung Yunho. He’s a dear friend of mine and I think the two of you would be perfect for one another! Oh! I love this song! You have fun and get to know each other!”

She rushed off disappearing onto the dancefloor of people crowded together.

“Did you-” you began.

“I did not,” Yunho answered before you could finish speaking. “She only told me she wanted to introduce me to a friend. She does that a lot honestly and I usually just say that something came up at the last minute and don’t end up coming to these things.”

You nodded, sitting in the awkward silence between the two of you for a split second. “So how have you been?”

Yunho made a noise of unease, “Pretty good, all things considered. I, um, she told me you work at a law firm?”

“Oh, yeah. Just recently got promoted to associate attorney. I passed the exam and had enough experience at the firm to get the new position. You and Changmin recently celebrated the 20 year anniversary of the group from what I remember, congratulations on that. 20 years is a long time.”

He nodded, giving you a quiet thanks before the conversation went stagnant once again. There was clearly an elephant between the two of you that neither of you were willing to address, whether it be because of the public location or the pure awkwardness around it you weren't sure. You weren’t going to lie and say you didn’t find him attractive even after all these years. There was something magnetic about him that drew you in, like a moth to a flame. And it was clear that there was something drawing him to you as well. Your eyes scanned every inch of each other’s bodies, noticing the differences since the last time the two of you had crossed passed all those years ago, the signs of aging and maturity much more prominent and present than ever before. Neither of you would deny that the year had done wonders for you both.

“You know,” Yunho began before drifting off a split second, before speaking again. “You know I never wanted to break up with you. I never wanted what we had to end, ever.”

Neither did I, you thought to yourself looking at him closely.

“Is it crazy for me to want to give us another shot?” he asked. “I don’t think I’ve connected with someone and been as happy with another person as I have been with you.”

“Not crazy at all,” you replied mindlessly. “I think we’re the case of the right person, wrong time…”

Yunho looked at you without saying a word before taking a step closer to you, “Do you really believe that? Do you really, honestly, truly believe that? If we were to start over, today, do you think we would still have the same connection we had then?”

You faltered momentarily. You were certain that there would be some form of a connection between the two of you, but you weren't entirely sure it would be the same. The two of you had grown and changed since then. You were two different people who have learned and adapted throughout the life you had lived apart from one another. But deep down, you old selves were still there, just different.

“I think we’d have a different connection that suits us more.”

The two of you stared at one another in silence for a hot minute, letting your words settle in your minds. The silence ended when Yunho nodded and looked away from you in the direction of the dance floor, deep in thought as he sighed.

“Okay.”

Okay? That’s it?

“Dinner tomorrow night at 8pm. Just the two of us. I can pick you from your place if you feel comfortable enough for that,” he added, pulling out his phone and handing it to you. “I don’t know if you changed your num-”

“I haven’t. Have you?”

He shook his head.

“Tomorrow night then. I’ll, uh, text you my new address.”

“Alright. It’s a date?”

You smiled, “It’s a date.”

It’s a date!
