My One And Only || Jeonghan

Flashback

"C'mon, Sayeon! You're too slow!" shouted Jeonghan as he stood in front of the ice cream parlor.

Sayeon ran as fast as she could, laughing. "Yah, calm down, Hannie! You know I hate running!"

She finally reached him, hands on her hips as she tried to catch her breath. "Ah, why did we have to run?"

"Because it's fun to watch you run and complain." Jeonghan said, opening the door and letting her go in first.

"You are very evil, Yoon Jeonghan. Just like Joshua."

"You love us, though." He said, giving her a pat on the back."

"Yah, you better buy me ice cream."

He ruffled her hair. "Only for you, Sayeon."

Flashback 2

It was her 16th birthday and she was spending it by herself. Her parents were working all day, and Joshua was at college hours away. He had called early that morning and talked for an hour. She was expecting a package in the mail from him. Sayeon didn't have many friends from school. She was very introverted. Instead of going out, she'd rather stay home or go somewhere quiet and read books and listen to music. Or hike along trails.

Her phone rang. She grabbed it and looked at the screen. Hannie. She sat up and leaned against her headboard and answered it.

"Annyeong, Hannie."

"Happy Birthday, Sayeon-ah! "

Sayeon giggled, a big smile on her face. "Thank you, Jeonghan."

"Are you busy today?" He asked.

"Um, no, I guess. Why?"

"Come downstairs and let me in. I have something for you."

"Wait, what? You're here?" She asked as she stood up from her bed and left her room. She walked down the hallway towards the front door. She hung up and slipped her phone in her back pocket. Sayeon opened the door, and there he was. Jeonghan had a cupcake with a lit candle in his hands and a small gift bag hanging around his wrist.

She smiled at him. He knew how to make any day better.

"Make a wish, Sayeonie!"

She closed her eyes and made a wish, and then she blew the candle out. She stepped aside and let him in. They sat at the kitchen table, sharing the cupcake and chatting away. Jeonghan then gave her the small gift bag, a big smile on his face. She opened it and took out the tissue paper. A small square box was at the bottom.

She took it out. She slowly opened the box and gasped when she saw what it was. It was a necklace. A pearl one.

"Jeonghan, it's beautiful."

He smiled. "I was taking a break from studying and saw this in one of the shop windows and knew it would be perfect for you." He took the box from her and picked up the necklace. He set the box down and turned towards her. "May I?"

Sayeon nodded her head and turned around so her back wad facing him. She felt the cold chain touch her skin, sending shivers down her spine. Once Jeonghan was done, she touched the peal, turning to face him.

"Thank you, Jeonghan. This has been the best birthday yet."

"It's not over yet! Let's go grab some sushi!"
