That's How It Works

How You Get The Girl

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“ i don’t get why we’re doing this today sooyoung” wendy shakes her head grumpily as the younger continue to drive

 

 

 

 

“It’s because it’s raining!” she rejoices

 

 

 

“EXACTLY! WE COULD DO IT WHEN THE WEATHER IS NOT AS RAGING AS YOU AND SEULGI’S HORMONES” she slumps back in the seat

 

 

 

“You idiot, you’re doing it now because, what’s a dramatic proposal without a little rain?”

 

 

 

 

“A LITTLE rain? Jesus Christ. You’re saying it like it’s easy because you didn’t have to go all through this to get your bear. And i don’t think I’m ready to see her, after these months”

 

 

 

 

 

“Well, it ain’t my damn fault your girl broke up with you. Do it now or die a without a lover”

 

 

 

 

 

“Could you just shut up and drive, you’re disturbing my inner peace”

 

 

 

 

“What the hell wendy don’t pee in my car!”

 

 

 

 

“I said INNER PEACE. Not INNER PISS. YOU IDIOT.”

 

 

 

 

“Oh. Okay then. Carry on with the inner peas.” wendy shakes her head in disbelief once more

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Alright. We’re here. Need an umbrella?” sooyoung hands a blue umbrella 

 

 

 

 

“Nope. I need to be dramatic and let the rain shower over my glorious body.”

 

 

 

 

 

“If you think that’s gonna get her back, then we should probably head home and never come back wen”

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Okay fine give me that umbrella” 

 

 

 

 

 

“Break a leg sport!” she shouts as wendy gets out of the car

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is it. She’s about to do an incredibly ridiculous stunt, with negative chances of success, with a high possibility of hypothermia, but this is it. This is for her.

 

 

She tries to remember what sooyoung had told her earlier

 

 

How to get the girl, an essay by park sooyoung: 

 

 

 

 

Stand there like a ghost

Shaking from the rain

She'll open up the door

And say, are you insane?

Say it's been a long six months

And you were too afraid to tell her what you want

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

With the hard rain poring on her umbrella, she shakily opens her phone, and dials joohyun’s number

 

 

 

 

“hello?”

 

 

 

“Joohyun. It’s me”

 

 

“S-seungwan?”

 

 

 

“Open the door. Like right now” then she hangs up and puts her phone back in her pocket. It would probably get wet from the rain but she doesn’t care. Her mind is only set for one thing

 

 

 

 

 

“Ah, !” due to unforeseen circumstances, her precious blue umbrella flew away from civilisation. The gods must really hate her up there

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“YAH SON SEUNGWAN ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?” she sees Joohyun at their front door, wearing a purple sweater, from what seungwan remembers is from her, and some cute bunny slippers

 

 

 

 

 

“I, I JUST WANT TO SAY SOMETHING!” she yells over the loud rain

 

 

 

“CAN YOU PLEASE GET INSIDE?”

 

 

 

 

 

“No! I’ll say it here!” she walks up closer to their front yard

 

 

 

 

 

“You’re insane son seungwan!” she yells

 

 

 

 

“Yes I am! I’m insanely in love with you. I still am! After all these months, who would’ve thought that I would still be running back to you?!” Seungwan didn’t know if it was the rain, or if her eyes were really tearing up

 

 

 

 

 

 

“I WAS STUPID! I WAS STUPID ENOUGH TO LEAVE YOU LIKE THAT. I WAS STUPID ENOUGH TO EVEN LET YOU GO. EVEN IF I SHOULDN’T” at this point, joohyun was trying to contain her own emotions as she wipes a lone tear

 

 

 

 

 

 

“I-I don’t know seungwan. Yo- you hurt me. A-and, YOU CAN’T JUST SHOW UP LIKE THIS AND TELLING ME YOU WANT ME BACK!” 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“I- I KNOW BUT-” at this point, seungwan didn’t know what to do. She didn’t know what was worse, her getting all kinds of sickness after the rain, or her never getting joohyun back ever again

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then you say

 

I want you for worse or for better

I would wait for ever and ever

Broke your heart, I'll put it back together

I would wait for ever and ever

 

 

 

 

 

“I WANT YOU FOREVER JOOHYUN. I’M SORRY FOR BREAKING YOUR HEART IN THE PAST, AND IF THIS IS WHAT WOULD TAKE TO GET YOU BACK, I’LL GLADLY GET SHOWERED BY STORMS ANY DAY” she was shivering, but forget about shivering, joohyun is more important. MOST important

 

 

 

 

Joohyun couldn’t speak, she was trying to take in everything all at once.

 

 

 

 

Remind her how it used to be

Tell her how you must've lost your mind

When you left her all alone

And never told her why

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“I HATED MYSELF JOOHYUN! I WANTED TO EMBRACE YOU SO TIGHT WHEN I SAW YOU CRYING THAT DAY, WHEN SOOYOUNG TOLD YOU THE NEWS.” she continues, wiping her cheeks with the back of her hand

 

 

 

 

 

 

“I didn’t want to tell you personally, because if i did, i’m afraid i’ll never even leave your side from then.”

 

 

 

“But i needed to. I needed to go with my family to canada. I needed to be the good girl, but i guess i wasn’t, since all i ever did back there was think of you and how i should’ve stayed” seungwan was nearing the front porch and she couldn’t believe it

 

 

 

 

After all this time, you’re still the same beautiful joohyun i fell in love with.

 

 

 

 

 

“S-seungwan..” she could now clearly hear that joohyun finally broke her damn wall, she was sobbing, face on both of her hands

 

 

 

 

 

“Joohyun…” wendy grabs her hands and covers them with hers

 

 

 

 

“Please, give me another chance, i’ll prove it to you, to your friends, to your family, and even to the whole damn world, that I am so in love with you. Please, give ‘us’ another shot” at this point, seungwan almost wanted to kneel on the cold cement floor, if it meant bringing joohyun back

 

 

 

 

 

 

“O-okay…..” she weakly mumbles, and stares at seungwan’s swollen eyes, mirroring her own

 

 

 

 

“Y-you will?” seungwan’s eyes started to brighten

 

 

 

 

“I’m still in love with you seungwan, it never changed, and it never will” she points at her heart, smiling weakly

 

 

 

 

Seungwan squeals in joy as she picks irene up from the ground and spins them around the rain, pouring just slightly, just like a movie scene

 

 

 

 

 

 

“YAH! PUT ME DOWN SEUNGWAN!!” their laughter could be heard echoing and harmonising with the rain itself

 

 

 

 

“Remember when you dragged me outside just because you want to experience how kissing in the rain would feel like?” seungwan pressed their foreheads together, smiles almost merging with each other. Joohyun meekly nodded

 

 

 

 

 

“Want me to refresh your mind?” she giggles and leans in to meet with the other’s lips. It feels just like their very first. Full of love and excitement, and a little bit of sweetness 

 

 

 

 

 

They pull apart for air as seungwan buries her head on the crook of joohyun’s neck

 

 

 

 

“Never let me go Joohyun…”

 

 

 

 

 

“I won’t. Not this time” she assures” 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Amidst the couple’s little movie impromptu, a girl was heard honking her car horn from afar

 

 

 

 

 

“GOOD JOB SPORT!!” she sees wendy look at her incredulously so she gives her a quick thumbs up before driving away

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“And that’s how it works,

that’s how you get the girl” she smiles as she drivers her way back to her and seulgi’s home
