timing."

CHAPTER ONE.
RIGHT PERSON, WRONG TIME
2008
▶ COULD'VE BEEN 

moyeon met kiseok through hyun. she was at his birthday party and hyun insisted that she just had to meet his friend and that they two would "totally click". hyun was right, the two did click. moyeon and kiseok hit it off. anyone who looked at the two of them talk could tell that they were attracted to one another. despite the chemistry kiseok put up his boundaries because he already had a girl, although it was not official when they met. moyeon understood and applauded kiseok for being faithful despite not yet being fully committed. 

the two became friends, considering they ran in the same crowd, and remained friends. they got close rather quickly even though kiseok entered a relationship with jungha. she did try to keep her distance, not wanting to step on any toes, because jungha was apart of the same crowd and jungha had been friends with everyone much longer than moyeon had, but kiseok insisted that they still talk and be friends. moyeon agreed even though deep inside of her she knew she was catching feelings for someone who was taken. kiseok was head over heels for jungha, but at the same time he felt a connection with moyeon that he hadn't felt with anyone. he just brushed it off as having found the perfect friend who understood him. both of them pushed their feelings to the back of their minds. 
 

CHAPTER TWO.
WORLDS APART
2009 - 2014
▶ 6 FEET UNDER

once moyeon graduated, she stayed in seoul for a few months to save up some money so she could buy a plane ticket to los angeles. a friend of hers had moved out there and was living out there so she would have room and board for a while before deciding what else and where else she'd like to go. her parents were onboard as long as she'd return home when they called.

she had two reasons for the trip. one being she wanted to travel and the second being wanted to get away. the more she talked with kiseok the more she was falling in love. wrong, yes. but she never made a move and was always careful of not stepping over boundaries. she wanted to get over her feelings for him and the only way to do that was to get away and hopefully meet someone new. 

once the plane ticket was bought and her leaving date was set, she told all her friends except kiseok. well technically she did tell kiseok, but it was a week before she would leave. she didn't mean to not tell him for as long as she did, but she was in love with him and having to say good bye to him was something she didn't want to have to do. kiseok was shocked and hurt that he was the last to know, but moyeon promised that they'd stay in contact. 

for the five years that moyeon was in los angeles she kept in contact with hyun and dohee consistently. she stayed in contact with kiseok for a year, but in order to try and get over her feelings for him she slowly stopped replying. every now and then he'd send a message and as much as she wanted to reply she never did. the only exception was on their birthdays. she'd always reply or always reach out. 

while in los angeles moyeon did get into a relationship that was pretty serious. they were talking about marriage before they had a falling out due to lifestyle differences and a different want for the future. 

CHAPTER THREE.
I MISSED YOU
2014
▶ I CHOOSE YOU

moyeon came back unexpectedly due to her father getting into a car accident. she had only let dohee know that she would be returning a few days prior. dohee knew that the reason for moyeon's wasn't a great one, but she still wanted to welcome moyeon back. so, dohee being the great best friend that she was arranged a welcome back party two weeks after moyeon returned. dohee let hyun in on the party and well it was a welcome back party, but also just a party for party sake for hyun.

flash forward to the party, it started small with only moyeon's friends. moyeon was disappointed to not see kiseok's face among the ones who arrived to welcome her back. then again, she doesn't blame him, she did promise to keep in touch but never really did. after an hour or two a second wave of people arrived, many being friends of hyun and others being friends of friends. kiseok arrived in the second wave of people and boy oh boy the way their eyes and whole demeanor lit up when they locked eyes, it was more than two friends meeting again. it was like lovers finally seeing one another again. the rest of the night was spent catching up and apologies for not staying in contact as they had agreed. 

their friendship quickly resumed and everything that happened in the five years was quickly on the table. moyeon learned about his and jungha's relationship as well as hyemin early on. as fast their friendship resumed, so did their buried feelings for each other resurface. this time however, they didn't have to hide it from each other. kiseok was the first one to confess. kiseok had asked moyeon on a date and confessed that night after dinner while taking their sweet time walking around eating ice cream. 

"hey, mo. can i tell you something?"

"of course you can, seok. what is it? is hyemin okay? are you okay?"

"hyemin is fine and me? i think i'll be okay." 

"what do-"

"mo, i like you."

"i like you too, seok. you're my friend."

"no. i mean like as in i love you."

"you don't know how long i've been waiting to hear that."

"so you love me too?"

"i've always loved you kiseok." 

after that fateful night, the two entered a relationship as all people do. when they told their friends everyone just exclaimed "finally". 

CHAPTER FOUR.
YOU'LL BE MY LAST
2017 & 2018
▶ FINALLY

their relationship continued steadily for four years before kiseok popped the question. kiseok and moyeon took hyemin and her parents on a family outing to the beach. kiseok had received the blessings of moyeon's parents parents and both of her parents were in on his proposal. it was just another outing, at least that's what moyeon thought, but kiseok was nervous as hell while her parents were excited to finally see their oldest child get married. while on the beach they discovered a little cliff like area, the perfect place for a photo and a proposal. hyemin (who was only told minutes before the proposal) urged her dad and moyeon to go "take a photo together" while standing on said cliff. kiseok pushed moyeon to walk first while he secretly received the box with his ring from moyeon's father behind her baack.

"do we want to-" moyeon began to say as she turned to face him, but the words were stuck in as she watched kiseok get down on one knee. her heart was pounding as it registered in her mind that he was indeed on one knee and that must only mean one thing.

"roh moyeon. the love of my life. you have always been the one for me. i was just too blind to realize it when we first met, but now i see. i don't and can't lose you again, so moyeon. will you make me the happiest man alive and marry me?" kiseok asked, looking up at her while he opened the box to relieve a dainty and beautiful engagement ring. 

"yes. yes!" was all moyeon could exclaim as she teared up in joy.

moyeon and kiseok got married a year later on june 8, 2018. they had a small ceremony with only those who meant a lot of them. immediate family and friends only. they didn't want and frankly put couldn't afford a super expensive large wedding. however, neither of them wanted a large scale wedding with people they didn't know anyway. hyemin was the flower girl of course and was excited for moyeon to finally become her mom. the two had their wedding at a flower garden and their reception was help in a tent outside. a simple yet meaningful wedding. 

an excert from kiseok's vows: 
"...you may not have been my first love, but i know you will be my last love. i'm sorry it took me so long to realize that you are the one for me, but now that i know and now that i finally have you, i will never let you go. i love you, roh moyeon. forever and always." 

an excert from moyeon's vows:
"i knew from the first day i met you that you were the one, but fate just wasn't in our favor at that time. my heart aches every time i think about all the time we spent apart, but without that time apart we wouldn't have our beautiful hyemin in our lives... now that i finally have you, i'm never going to let you go. i love you, jung kiseok. forever and always." 
 

EPILOGUE : 

▶ LUCKY

moyeon and kiseok's relationship only got more intense and filled with love after their marriage. they love having their hands all over each other whenever they get the chance, which is rare with hyemin around because she's usually clinging to one of them. when alone with hyemin out of the house best believe they're taking the time to relish in each other. it's hard to believe they're as ually active as they are considering how long they have been together, but because they are now actively trying to get pregnant kiseok likes to say, "the more the merrier right?" 

when they're not acting like teenagers, kiseok enjoys pushing moyeon's buttons. purposefully suggesting things, saying things and doing things that he knows will annoy and irritate moyeon. he says he thinks she's cute when she gets angry, but she knows he does it because it turns him on. of the two kiseok surprisingly has better control of his urges and needs. 

moyeon does get annoyed at kiseok whenever he doesn't stick to a schedule or when he gives hyemin things he knows he shouldn't be, i.e. a second round of ice cream after she has already brushed her teeth. kiseok always tells her to relax and sometimes it works, but other times it leads to an argument. normally the argument ends pretty quickly, but there have been a few rare times where kiseok will say something insensitive and mean (eg. i'm her father) and moyeon will shut down and give him the silent treatment. when this happens kiseok will leave her alone for an hour or two before sliding into bed with her and apologize. moyeon almost always forgives kiseok, but there have been times where she's been genuinely hurt and kiseok will have to be nicer and more carring for the days that follow while talking about her feelings and his feelings. 

in terms of communication, they're very open with one another. if moyeon is feeling even the slightest insecure or jealous she'll tell kiseok and vice versa. they've learned to not take it as an attack of their character. they know that they both feel emotions differently and have learned to not feel attacked when the other opens up to them. they used to argue and accuse the other one of not trusting them many times in the past, but over time they learned it wasn't healthy and part of communication is also being able to understand each other. 

in terms of hyemin, moyeon is pretty much hyemin's mother figure. yes hyemin still goes and visits her birth mom and what not, but because hyemin spends pretty much all her time with kiseok and her, moyeon fits the role better. moyeon has been in hyemin's life since she was two, so she has seen hyemin's growth over the years. despite being in hyemin's life as long as she has, moyeon still at times hesitates to make major decisions. moyeon may be hyemin's "main mom", but on paper jungha still has parental rights to hyemin. every time that moyeon feels this way, kiseok urges her to not feel like she can't make decisions because she's still hyemin's mom, maybe more than jungha is. 

WEEKDAY SCHEDULE:

both moyeon and kiseok work full time and hyemin is enrolled in elementary school. school for hyemin starts at 8am and kiseok starts work at 8:30am. moyeon starts work at 10am, but she commutes further.

6:00am: moyeon's first alarm goes off. she normally hits snooze once.

6:15am: moyeon is up, freshening up and then is on her way to get breakast ready and get's all their lunches prepared.

6:30am: kiseok and hyemin normally wake up around this time and both are getting ready. if moyeon doesn't hear them, she'll go check up on them to make sure that they're getting up and getting ready.

7:00am: kiseok and hyemin are all dressed and should be eating breakfast by this time. everyone is eating and enjoying breakfast together. typically they don't take longer than 15 minutes to eat, so kiseok likes to help moyeon clean, but sometimes they're on a time crunch and moyeon is left to clean.

7:30am: kiseok and hyemin need to leave by this time or hyemin is going to be late. kiseok always drops hyemin off at school unless he's sick. hyemin's school is about a 10 minute drive, 15 minutes if traffic is really bad. kiseok's work place is also in the direction of hyemin's school so it works out the best if kiseok drops hyemin off.

8:00am: hyemin should be dropped off by now and kiseok is on his way to work. moyeon should have showered and is getting ready.

8:45am: moyeon is normally all ready for work and if there are dishes left to clean she's cleaning. 

9am: moyeon's out the door and off to work. she drives since it's faster than taking transit. rush hour is typically over by this time so the drive should only be 30 minutes give and take some time. she is alway at work by 10am. her store doesn't open until 10:30, but she likes to get there early to check inventory and make sure that everything is ready for the work day ahead.

work, lunch, play, work for the three

4pm: hyemin is "out of school" but stays after school for extra curricular activities. she wanted to join an art club and choir so her parents said okay. 

5pm: kiseok is out of work and on his way to pick up hyemin from school. once she's picked up the two go home, or go grocery shopping depending on the food situation at home. 

6pm: kiseok is getting dinner ready and is helping hyemin with her homework. moyeon gets off work and on her way home. her store closes at 8pm, but a part-time manager comes in and takes over closing duties.

7pm: moyeon should be home by this time and dinner is normally ready, depending on the dish kiseok is cooking. they always eat dinner together unless moyeon has to cover for the part time manager that comes in after her. after dinner moyeon helps get hyemin ready for bed while kiseok cleans up. 

8:30pm: hyemin is in bed by this time. moyeon and kiseok are getting ready for bed themselves. they talk about each others day or whatever they feel in the mood to talk about. they almost never have while hyemin is home, but if they're feeling particularly needy they'll wait a good hour after putting hyemin to sleep before quietly help each other get off.

the two of them normally go to sleep around 9:30 or 10pm on a weekday. 

when it comes to the weekends, what they do depends on the weather and if they have hyemin or not. when they have hyemin they like to go out to give her different experiences since she's more capable of actually remembering where they go and what they experience. of course if they go out depends on the weather. when they don't have hyemin for a weekend, they like to have a date night on saturdays. sometimes it's them staying in having a romantic dinner, or kiseok planned something for the two of them. there are occasions where kiseok has to go to music events on the weekend and during the weekends when hyemin is with them, moyeon is in charge. there are times where they saturday date nights don't happen and they're going to one of hyun's parties, moyeon is having a girls night with dohee or kiseok is having a boys night with hyun and byungho. they always keep track of hyemin's friends birthday parties and play dates and those take priority over less important things like a girls or boys night out.
