Perfect

Perfect
 
 
"When I asked Hoya to introduce me to you, he arranged a date, but the moment you saw me, I knew you were expecting to see someone else. For whatever reason you stayed anyway, and after going out for around three months, we were finally official. When we announced it to our members, everyone was excited and happy. Everyone but you. I will never understand what made you pretend that you loved me. How can someone be in a relationship when there is no love. But love is blind they say. And indeed, I was blind."
 
 

It was a tiring day but still Eunji took her time to go to her boyfriend's apartment. She knew he was probably tired too but, isn't nice to receive a small surprise once in a while?
 
With that thought she entered the older's apartment without any obstacles, knowing already the password. They were dating for almost two years now but this last months were really hard for Eunji. Due to her heavy schedule they barely met or even talked. That's why she was coming with icecream, so they could just watch a movie and enjoy some time together. She was happy already with the image of them being together alone after so long. No cameras, no make up, no smiling the whole day... although this last one was hard to hold when she was around him. It didn't matter if she was having the worst day, just by seeing his face a smile would automatically form on hers. Just like this very moment when she saw him lying lazily on the couch watching a music program with a light smile on his face, humming to some girl group's song. But today, she started to realize some things...
 
"Eunji-yah..." his expression changed and he blinked several times before smiling again to his girlfriend. "What are you doing here?"
"I wanted to see my boyfriend, but I did wrong in coming, apparently." she pouted, crossing her arms in a childish act.
Sunggyu just giggled to her actions and stood up to hug her and leave a small peck on those lips. "Of course not."
 
 
Different inflection when you say my name
Kiss me, but your kiss don't taste the same
Is it real or am I going out of my mind?
 
 
Eunji just shook her head after receiving the kiss and held the icecream to eye level, telling him to go back to the couch so they could eat. Sunggyu just nodded and told her to sit first while he went to the kitchen to look for spoons. 
There she could see carefully what was he watching before. It was Music Bank. To be more specific, Lovelyz were on stage. A small sigh escaped here lips, having a weird feeling upon her chest, she saw their presentation ending and another group going on stage now. What was she thinking? It was just a program and the Lovelyz girls were her boyfriend's hoobaes, of course he was supporting them even from his house. Rookie groups needed all the support they could have, it's not like she never watched the show to support BTOB and others.
But a sudden vibration broke the little bubble she was in. A text in Sunggyu's phone. The sender... Soojung. But why the name had a heart next to it? She wasn't the paranoic type so she didn't pay much attention to it even when curiosity was killing her inside. Right in time Sunggyu came back and sat next to her, making her focus in her main purpose, spend time with that not-so-charming but yet lovely boyfriend of hers.
 
"How was your day?" He asked, attacking the icecream without patience.
"Fine, had a lot in my plate, but it was fun."
 
Eunji just followed him but it didn't take long for her to give up and lay down, resting her head on his lap. On the other side he kept eating fully concentrated on the icecream. Until his phone vibrated. But now it didn't stop, someone was calling him. Leaving aside the icecream, he grabbed his phone and a wide smile took over his face. With care he moved Eunji to lay on the couch and he walked towards his room announcing that he would be back in a minute or so.
And like that around two minutes passed, being impatient, Eunji stood up and walked to his room. The guy was sitting on the bed, still talking on the phone but as soon as she saw her, a quick goodbye was said and the call was done.
 
"I'm too tired. You said you don't have schedule tomorrow..." she started while taking place on his bed, ready to sleep. "come here."
 
Without a word he climbed the bed, embracing that tiny body and closing his eyes inmediately, just like her, he was also tired. Once more, his phone vibrated but he didn't even bother to wake up from the light sleep he was already in. Unlike her, who took the phone; a cute sleepy emoticon was visible on screen. The sender: Soojung. She left the phone on top of the night table next to the bed and stared blankly at her boyfriend who seemed to be sleeping already.
 
"Oppa, who is Soojung?"
"You did well..." a mumble, and that was it, both of them were now sleeping with the same person in mind.
 
 
Curious 'bout the company that you keep
'Cause I hear you talking 'bout her in your sleep
And now you've got me talking 'bout her in mine
 

Eunji's dream was interrupted with the constant talk Sunggyu was having in his dream, she sat on the bed and unable to stop her own hands, his phone was now unlocked and her fingers were scrolling down his pictures really fast. There something caught her eye... a few random pictures of him hugging a girl but never high enough for the faces to be seen but more for some couple necklaces instead. Of course, he couldn't risk to show the faces, even they had some pictures like that, but those were not them. It was him but the girl for sure, was not Eunji...
 

Ooh, and I bet, she has it all
Bet she's beautiful like you, like you
And I bet she's got that touch
Makes you fall in love, like you, like you

 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 
When morning came, she was sleeping with her head resting on Sunggyu's chest, feeling his heartbeat. She made use of it as a lullaby to be able to sleep again last night. But as soon as the sunlight reached their faces, both had to wake up, yet it wasn't necessary to stand up. They were both free that day. A sudden attack of kisses took place on top of Eunji's head and she could only laugh softly, looking up to finally meet those almost invisible eyes that she loved.
 
"Morning, Eunji-yah~ let's have breakfast!"
 
Still with the images from last night she went closer to his face. Both eyes automatically closed, letting their lips come to live, feeling them soft and sweet but somehow it was different. Once they broke the kiss she went to her original position, looking for some comfort in the sound of his heartbeat while her fingers played across his chest, making random drawings.
 
"Yah... I'm gonna prepare the breakfast, then."
 
And with that, Sunggyu stood up, living Eunji alone in his room. Living her in a fetal position, hugging now the empty sheets with her eyes shut closed. 
 

I can taste her lipstick and see her laying across your chest
I can feel the distance every time you remember her fingertips
Maybe I should be more like her
Maybe I should be more like her
I can taste her lipstick, it's like I'm kissing her, too
Ay she's perfect
Ay she's perfect
 
 
Sunggyu was making simple pancakes for them to have breakfast but a pair of arms interrupted his work for a few seconds. Eunji gave him a backhug but as soon as she did it, her arms went down again setting him free. He only chuckled to her actions and continued his work. Now her hands were on his shoulder, giving a massage that the older didn't mind, he was almost done anyway, just needed to place the pancakes in separate plates and take them to the table. And while he was looking for plates, her hands went down his back slowly and that made him stop for a second. His eyes were now closed, enjoying the slight and gentle touch of her hands. He sighed. Her touch was nice and since he was wearing only a t-shirt, the fabric didn't make much difference as if the touch was direct to his skin. He finally recovered his sense when she stopped again and set the table for them to eat.
Both in silence, it wasn't awkward, their company was enough to fill the room with a nice aura. She already finished and he was about to when her moves again took him by surprise. This time Eunji sat on his lap, smiling at him. He copied that smile and hugged her waist. Her hands made their way to the back of his neck playing with some strands of hair, using the tips of her fingers to go all over the skin that was easy to see and went under his t-shirt for a few seconds too.


How does she touch you? Can I try it, too?
I know you're twisted, but baby, I'm twisted, too
I wanna know how she could make a man lose his mind

 
 
Her head went lower hiding in the curve of his neck were she took a deep breath. An unknown scent entered her nostrils. But she kept what she was doing, her hand now on his chest made its way lower and when she did that, a small laugh broke the silence as well as the ambient in the room. Eunji sat straight and he just caressed her back before patting her lap in order for the girl to stand up.
As soon as she did so, he took the plates and started doing dishes, without any word coming from any of them. Eunji just left him there and walked to the couch and decided to watch TV while he was in the kitchen, hoping they could just cuddle and watch a movie or some series before she had to leave, since only today was her free day.
 

Ooh, with the smell of her perfume
I could love her, too, like you, like you
And I can almost hear her laugh
Curving on her back for you, for you

 
 
 
He suddenly seemed to remember something cause Eunji could only see his body rushing to his room but it wasn't really important to her. Not until he came back with an apologetic look on his face. He spent at least 30 minutes in his room and no doubts why, he was all ready to go out but never had he said anything to her and they couldn't do something like that anyway, people couldn't see them together. Their relationship was not public yet, not after almost 2 years because he didn't want to. And again to his looks, he was way too handsome (in his own unique way) to be just going out for any kind of work issue.
 
"I have to leave, I'll explain later but you can stay here as much as you want."
 
And with that and taking his wallet after a kiss that barely lasted 5 seconds, he just left her. Not giving any opportunity to ask or retort anything, even when she tried to hold his face during the kiss.
 

I can taste her lipstick and see her laying across your chest
I can feel the distance every time you remember her fingertips
Maybe I should be more like her
Maybe I should be more like her
I can taste her lipstick, it's like I'm kissing her, too
Ay she's perfect

 
 
The images Eunji was having now, the memories of her last nightmares, the name of that girl... with him. She searched online and saw that one of the members in Lovelyz was the very named Soojung; Baby Soul. Of course she knew her, she had collaborations with Infinite H in the past and thanks to Hoya she knew that it was a trainee that was actually really close to Sunggyu. Just that she wasn't a trainee anymore, instead she was the leader of a really popular girl group this days. Apparently he had some talk show with her last year. Even when Sunggyu was her boyfriend they couldn't keep up with everything they did, not enough free time to be like a fan and watch every program. The problem was not the talk show, but instead the fact that he chose her as his ideal type. Eunji didn't need to watch anything, articles about it were written by fans that shipped the couple.
Eunji never opened the videos or pictures, she didn't want to see the girl. But everything started to make sense inside her mind. And now things were worst for her huge imagination. Still without looking at any picture, she started searching more information about her, any news about them too. Feeling like a fool, that girl knew him for longer than her, they seemed to be really close and like he had her name in his contacts, she was the girl he kept on dreaming of. His words came to Eunji's head. Even while sleeping he seemed to recall what they did everytime they met. A bad habit of Sunggyu, to dream with things related to events of the day. It didn't bother her in any way in the past, specially when he would talk about her. But for the last months, she would hear him talk about some girl, and she couldn't help but to wake up and hear him sleeptalking, even when it hurt her. All kind of dreams that she knew happened or he wanted them to happen on that day.
 
 
I can see her body rushing into you
Crashing on your skin
Burning within, burning so deep, deep
On your skin, skin next to me
She's crashing on your skin
Settling in, burning so deep, deep
On your skin, skin while you sleep, uh

I can taste her lipstick and see her laying across your chest
I can feel the distance every time you remember her fingertips
Maybe I should be more like her
Maybe I should be more like her
I can taste her lipstick, it's like I'm kissing her, too
Ay she's perfect
 
 

 

"I should have known. You weren't with me because you liked me. You never did. It was always her, right? Inside I always knew it. I love you but... She's perfect."

Chapter 5: Aww I really wish they get back together. Sunggyu never actually cheated on Eunji with Soul however he was definitely becoming more distant with Eunji. He shouldn't have created all that distance w/ Eunji and avoided his problems. He appreciates her more now and realizes how much he actually loves her but also realizes that he doesn't feel it in the same way Yoseob does. Well...this is gonna be complicated

ps: Its so weird thinking of my cute little Baby Soul as the other woman lol :D

Chapter 5: In earlier chapters, I would say that I won't date or get back to someone like Sunggyu; it's bitter enough to see girls trying hard over a relationship but then, a crying guy over a girl is my weakness (why?! TT) Perhaps I feel that Sunggyu is not really a bad guy here; just a normal guy who feeling out of love for a certain time but still he's a meanie ಠ‿ಠ. Go get her again!

Chapter 5: Okay....reading from Sunggyu POV break my heart. Pity him..

Chapter 5: Oh my! I am sorry I've waited this long to comment on this Gyuji long fic. It is just so saad! You're soooo good at this. You made me feel stabbed as the characters and thus cried in every chapter (I rarely do) This means your writing can really get through your readers. Besides, agnst (if it's the case for this story [I actually hope not]) are the ones I'm looking for when I want to pour out my tears (I tend to be masochist lol)
As always, you're doing an amazing job by developing this plot this way, slowly but full of feelings and not boring because of the details which make each chapter very emotional. *applause* *touched* *sobbing*

Chapter 5: *take a deep breath and start trying to type comment, but then actually i take a very deep breath and try again, repeat that activity for about 3-4 times lol*
Where can i start.... hm...
Okay! Angst aside, i do have problem with these sentence: "Sunggyu loved the cold weather because she was always /cold/ and he was always /warm/." I WAS ROLLING ON MY BED (LITERALLY, MY FRIEND) AND SQUEALING SOOO HARD! This is very very very OOT, but thats actually what i feel for my /cheap/ OTP irl. And all your narration didnt help! Those are what i always feel for them; like how perfect they are for each other, how would they do dates and keep each other company. My friend, your friend right here always has some delulu mind and need professional help lol
Thats it for my inner thinking; dont want to scare (?) you more lol

Back to the track! So here you wrote about how their relationship changed and took the downright, its very well-explained, good job! ;) (tho still, poor Eunji). Human really dont know to appreciate what/who they have when it/she/he is there *sigh*
About your song choice, Fairytale Love, its one of my fave song from Apink, and its so... innocently painful (?) song for me. And... idk, do you perhaps want to tell readers that indeed a fairytale-like love isnt really exist and love isnt always about puppy-love, lovey-dovey, flattering feeling? And in the end we just should know how to give up and stop. (pardon me if im too over-interpreting your story lol im excited and hv tendency to be silly)
I really want to know how Sunggyu will approach Eunji.... im totally ready to be heartbroken puppy (?) ;~;

Thanks for updating! xD Have a nice day~

Chapter 4: WHY DID YOU DO THIS TO ME? WHY, WHY, WHY???
I HATE YOU I HATE YOU I HATE YOU /NO ACTUALLY I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU MORE I LOVE YOU MOST LOL

back to the topic: i read it twice, the second one i think i need to listen 'Love is' and i did and it hurt more than it should have!! i feel bad for Eunji, for Sunggyu.... and i start to think, since when their relationship becomes such a toxic one and slowly eat them alive? When did everything being wrong and get worse? Why none of them realizes when thing got bad? Why couldnt they see it coming? Why couldnt they stop it? Its so painful i think my heart is bleeding wif invisible blood (?)
Idk girl...... maybe Eunji needs time, maybe Sunggyu needs to step back for awhile... time heals, they said.
So probably its a good thing they didnt meet (yet) bcs it could be such a chaos and painful and frustrating scene to be seen. I think i'll get insomnia tonite bcs all the 'what if's scenario for them in my head... idk i feel so sad rn! (Aside from all the GyuJi doses i didnt get since... forever, and this story makes it worse bcs i miss GyuJi more lol)

Anyway! I think i found some misspelling words, like "Leader" and "Beginning"
Thats it, i guess! Thank you for this annoyingly beautiful chapter tonight!! \o/
