Over The Years | YEONJUN X READER

2019, March 4th, 6:00 p.m.

Yeonjun was finally debuting! 

All my family members, the four of us, sat patiently as we waited for the video to play. It was awesome seeing Yeonjun on the screen. My mouth fell agape, and almost shed tears at how far he has come. We all tried to fight back our tears, as we knew his hardwork and the long training duration he had to endure. We were shocked and gleeful for his successful debut.

Now it would be almost impossible to see him again, I thought. It turns out he had developed a liking for video-calls. After a month of not seeing or talking to each-other after his debut, he started video-calling on the weekends and some weekdays despite his busy schedule. I too, was busy with my college work and business. 

My family's income had significantly declined that year. As a result, we ended up having to move all the way to Busan. I had to live away from my family for college in Seoul. Life was roughing up for me. Schedules conflicted, and the video calls subsided.

Still, I would leave gifts, particularly hand-written letters or sketches or food for him sometimes when he would come back and I wouldn't be there. I figured it would give him some emotional support. Sometimes I abruptly ignored him. The new-found butterflies from the video calls were something I wanted to ignore so much. On most days, I would pass out on my bed.
