Description

the last week of summer, a bucket of chicken, six pack cans of beer, a pair of wandering souls spilling their hearts out to each other, and a long night to get them through it.

Foreword

first of all, yall should know how big of a wenhope trash i am so this fic is more or less everything that i've ever felt for them, and i'm pretty much unapologetic about the 9k words as a result xD (a lot of sap and cheese and hints of angst all over)

secondly

to Seulminella

this one's for you, for motivating me to bring this draft to life, so all i can say is YOU'RE WELCOME. ;) 

and to my fellow wenhope shippers. this one's for you too.

thank you for loving wendy and jhope with me.

as much of a sunshine they both are, they're also probably struggling with maintaining their happiness too. ><

and as a result, this draft was born -- it's supposedly extensive and would have been chaptered but even i couldn't finish my first wenhope fic either.

hence, a lengthy two-shot would have to suffice my cravings for an angst wenhope, both of which are quite rare to find.

i wanted to dive in the reality of their idol lives and although i know i could never come close to the reality of it, i still tried as much to incorporate what i feel like they're going through and what jhope and wendy could be if they were to be anything at all.

× fic based off of the song by Samantha Jade's Nine.

also a playlist to accompany the mood of thie fic ^^

Chapter 3: wow idk why it took me so long to find this?? ugh seriously so many feels, I feel like this was perfect for the emotions you were trying to convey. seriously I was reminded of the first time I realized I was in love with my significant other and when I told them for the first time (a loooong time ago haha). and that kind of writing is hard to come across, especially on aff!! so thank you!!!

Chapter 2: oh. my. god. erika i can never stress this enough that you're truly the most passionate wenhope shipper AND writer i've ever met,,, the fact that you executed this chapter beautifully (ngl i was a little more emotional tonight when i read this) and the tentative feelings they had for one another- like how hoseok managed to feel all soft and uGH just bc wendy complimented him to how they confessed to one another, i just got super affected emotionally (gIRL YOU MADE ME CRY ASDJALSL)

the parts where their emotions were so raw and when they were both so truthful to one another about everything, be it their insecurities or wtv made my heart wEAK (idk how you do it- you def put a load of thinking and heart when writing this i can tell) those fluffy moments where they cuddle against each other???? bloody hell i was screaming and cheering so loudly for them (not like they'll ever know, then again who knows :^))) ((the part where seungwan just went "then make it last, please" I WAS SO SO SO SAD???? LIKE MY HEART ACHED SO BAD BUT I WAS SO HAPPY AT THE SAME TIME KNOWING THAT THEY BOTH GOT WHAT THEY DESERVED THANK YOU SO MUCH ERIKA))

i am sooOOOo happy you managed to finish this excellently, at least in my eyes and i need to emphasise that it is definitely the most beautiful wenhope fic i've ever read (i wish i was better with words so i could ramble about how much i loved and craved this) ALSO lastly, happy belated birthday erika xxx i apologise for being so freaking late (i had a ton of preparations to do for chinese new year & i was super on and off on aff during that period) but i hope you'll always remember and know that you deserve happiness for yourself and never lose faith in whatever you do because you'll be okay no matter what. stay healthy and don't forget to take a break whenever you need to!!! again, thank you so much for gifting us this magnificent two-shot and i'll absolutely be looking forward to your future works on wenhope (oR WHOEVER YOU WANT TO WRITE ON) yOU DID SO WELL GIRLIE <3

Chapter 3: Oh so that's what happened :(( girl.... I'm-- of course I noticed. Last week to this week has been the most hectic for me, and I wanted to find a time where I could read this in peace with undivided attention. Preferably some time at night, along with the silence and serenity it brings. Please don't feel insecure.... gawd how do you explain. I feel ridiculous and almost insulted because everything about this story is sincerely beautiful, something I would re-read again and again without getting sick of. Yet here you are..... thinking the total opposite. Don't worry LET ME JUST ANNOUNCE TO THE WORLD KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE BROUGHT FORTH!!! No seriously Erika, I do understand where your coming from. That feeling of writing something so heartfelt yet it seems like it might've potentially been a waste of effort (which it wasn't!!) Perks of being an author hey? But don't let those dark thoughts fly over your head, because if this is any encouragement, Even Vincent Van Gogh only shone after his lifetime and still is today onwards. The most important thing is not popularity. Those things come and go like the tide, waver like the weeds, fade away like the rich. it's how this story is remembered overtime is what matters... by those who were LUCKY enough to read it <3

and the playlist, i'll check it out now. I'll listen to as I read it for the second time. Only because my first time as I explained before, has to be one of complete concentration hehe. I cant multi-task when it comes to reading ^^"

Chapter 2: Before I forget, lemme first get these out of the way. My favourite moments in the story:

1) "I’d joke around with you as much as I would Seungwan, but if it’s the matter of my feelings for you, I. would. Never.”
[WHERE DO I EVEN FCKING BEGIN WITH THIS!! Fcking feels ESP SINCE ITS V-DAY TODAY! Hoseok saying this to Wendy, like something about it-- it's so freaking y. The gravity of his tone, his sincerity. Because we'd expect them to be goofy all the time, so when they get uncharacteristically serious, it feels so much more meaningful.

2) “Son Seungwan, I like you. No, scratch that… I'm actually in love with you.”
[That 'no, scratch that' part. I think it was meant to be serious but I laughed more than I should have. It's because he's literally speaking his thoughts on impulse-- and something about this is hella adorable! I can imagine him doing this wearing an expression of utmost focus. Confessing to someone takes so much courage, it's something that never goes the way one plans. So the fact that he's fumbling and re-thinking his words as he says them is natural and you captured it perfectly! ^_^ ]

3) “It doesn’t matter who loved each other first, as long as they have the same amount of heart for each other... that’s all she cares about.”
[Selected this one because it was just beautiful. Amen that's all I have to say. As long they're in this together, today, tomorror, forever <3 I was already feeling impossibly alone seeming as its valentines day but reading this has made me feel *insert rihanna* "like i'm the only girl in the world" (as in one without a bf ! LOL CASUALLY TAKES THE SONG OUT OF CONTEXT) ANYWAYSS, wenhope you two are perfect for each other so get to it!!!!!!!!!! ]

4) "22 sounds like a good time to fall in love anyway.”
[If im still single in three years time (when i turn 22)... you my friend, HAVE A LOT OF EXPLAINING TO DO!!!]

5) “Love was being akin to another name for the devil, or hell. That love, instead of being a form of freedom, became temptation… To him, Seungwan is not a temptation. She is an angel. A piece of heaven on earth.”
[I died 994534895 reading this line. This analogy is so poignant the way it encapsulates them. The binary of heaven and hell, angel and demon, being compared to the universal element that is love. Absolutely timeless. The way you write some of these sentences are so lyrical *ohgoshnaliya* spiffing hell, i'm in love >//< ]

6) “Didn't have the chance to tell you how much you ‘shined on me’.”
[one word. PUWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA greaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat pun. no im serious. *why they gotta be mushy like that* ]

7) "Lucky. It doesn’t mean that it was all bright days ahead, but lucky was being in the midst of an indefinite reality and knowing your place."
[AGAIN! THIS! *PROCEEDS TO READ A THOUSAND TIMES MORE*. HOW TO GET OVER THIS LINE????? LIKE GURRL. Beautifully put. I am sucha hopeless romantic heaven save me. Your face would be next to the definition of the word 'lucky' along with your words right here. 'Indefinite realiy'...'knowing your place'. I feel reasurred even though it's not my love story XD AND LOL, LUCKY SEVEN!! ]

8) "And they were positive that they knew theirs."
[COUNT ME IN WENHOPE!! I CAN SEE IT TOO! YOUR PLACE!! IN THE FUTURE!! POSITIVE!!! I SEE RINGS OF WHITE! FLOWERS!! DRESSES!!!! "I NOW PRONOUNCE YOU HUSBAND & WIFE"!!!! BABIES!!!! FAMILIY!!!!! THE *JUNG* FAMILY!!!!]


SUMMARY: Beautiful. That's what it was. Thank you for writing this for me Erika. What an emotional way to end the day. With some wenhope, love... and you :') I'm sorry i was late to reading this. When is searched it up the other day, i couldn't find it??? Did you draft it to edit or something??? I was meant to message you about this until it suddenly got updated today. BUT ANYWAYS!! Will i see more masterpieces like this one in the future?? You cant leave me with this hanging. 9K words more like 9 seconds of my life whisked before me. That went too fast, like all good things do with time. <3 <3 flawless job Erika im so proud of you.

Chapter 3: if you're a sap sap sappity sap sap sap person for wenhope, then i'm a sap sap sappity sap sap sap person for them too ;w;

not only was this fic beautifully written, it also felt so real and poignant. wendy and hobi are my ult biases from their respective groups and they've both been thru so much with being underappreciated or getting hate comments or harsh criticism. so reading a fic where they find happiness and validation with each other is really healing and again it makes my usually cynical heart so soft asdfjslkdjf

i love when author's include lengthy notes! it's super interesting to see what your thought process was behind writing these drabbles and i can really tell that you put your heart and your soul into it. plus i have new music to check out thanks to your playlist. i want to thank you again for writing this!! <3
