TOGETHER: To Get Her

First Step  = Talk to target

"Really? Talk with her?" Eunbi looks at Yena quizically as she reads the first step of the plan to win Chaeyeon's heart. She wasn't so sure with going with this plan but since her friends really encouraged her to do it, she relented and followed them. But she's afraid and shy.... Not to mention that Yena referred Chaeyeon as a target making it sound like they're doing something bad.

"Well duh. Do you think you and Chaeyeon will end up together after one meeting? That never happens." Yena rolls her eyes at the thought of that idea, relationships take time and it can't happen in one go, she should know. It took awhile for her to be with Yuri.

"Princesses married their princes after seeing them for the first time like Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Snow Whi-" Eunbi started naming different princesses to prove the duck wrong. Maybe their love life can be like theirs and something magical happens making them together by the end of the day or something.

"Pshh. If that's true there's no way it's happening to you." Yena scoffs, "Atleast not with this prince..." But she whispers that to herself meaning Eunbi did not hear her.

Yena doesn't want to continue this conversation because it's just makes her think about her 99 line friend, she pushed the older girl forward when she sees the target walking her way in their direction. Eunbi is flustered when she's now infront of Chaeyeon who smiles innocently at her. "Hey Eunbi! It's nice to see you, we haven't bumped to each other in a while." 

"Yeah... I've been busy with stuff." Eunbi replies.

"That's too bad. With what?"

Eunbi tries to think of someething when she remembers the second step:

Second Step: Join the dance troop

"The dance troop! I-I'm gonna join!" 

Chaeyeon's face lights up with the news. "That's great! I'm actually going to the practice studio, let's go together and I can help you sign up. You're gonna have so much fun!" The younger girl gently pulls Eunbi's arm and walks her to the dance studio. Eunbi looks back and sees Yena give her thumbs up. Joining the dance troop not only allows Eunbi to practice her dancing skills but also allows her to stay closer with her crush. This way she can talk to her more easily unlike before because they don't have classes together.

Third Step: After a few days, ask target to go hang out (a date if you're bold enough Keke)

Eunbi couldn't help but laugh at Chaeyeon's story, she thinks she's never met someone who has a funnier laugh than the dancer. It was just so contagious; it was after their practice and it was just the two of them left. They've gotten closer because they have a lot of similarities and share the same hobbies, Eunbi gives herself a pat in the back for every time she's able to talk with Chaeyeon without feeling awkward. They got along quite easily that it couldn't help but make Eunbi hope.

"It's late already, let's go?" Chaeyeon stands up and lents out a hand which Eunbi gladly took. They got their things and made sure to lock the door of the studio before leaving. When they were about to part ways, Eunbi speaks up.

"You wanna go somewhere?" 

It takes a while before a response was heard, "Sure. Where to?" Eunbi smiles widely before pulling Chaeyeon's hand and bringing her somewhere.

The two ended up in a small arcade playing Dance Dance Revolution, they would compete against each other by timing their steps to the game. It was a fun way to dance and move your feet.

"Yayaya! Stop going to my side!" Eunbi says as Chaeyeon jokingly steps on her side arrow making the older girl lose her combo. As pay back Eunbi completely abandons her area and starts stepping on any arrow on Chaeyeon's side. The two stopped paying attention the score and stepped on anything. 

"I bet people thought we're weird." Chayeon laughs as she recalls people's faces when they were goofing around.

"That's because you started pretending that you were an alien, I'm never been so embarrassed in my life. I won't be surprised if we were on YouTube the next day." Eunbi smacks the younger girl's arm playfully. They both go to the next place, karaoke!!!

They sing songs by famous artists, whether seriously or for fun. After Chaeyeon was done singing, Eunbi asked. "Do you like someone Chaeyeon?" 

"Ehhh why do you ask?" Chaeyeon gets all shy.

"It's just the song you sang while ago, Dancing on my own, you sang it with so much emotion." Eunbi couldn't help but notice.

"I guess I do. I just don't know if she notices me, but we've been hanging out alot lately so maybe... I have chance?" The younger girl plays with her fingers while looking at the floor, this action passes as cute to Eunbi but she can feel her heart tighten. 

'​​​​​​So she likes someone already? Do I still have a chance?'

"Enough about that, your turn to sing!" Chayeon passes the mic to her.

Eunbi picks a song that just came up this year by Avril Lavigne, Crush, hoping its message can be heard to her crush. (I cut the lyrics so it can be shorter)

 

"You make me lose control
Your fingers on my bones
I'm slipping through the floor
So baby, don't crush me
'Cause there's no exit here
No way to disappear
There's not a single tear
So baby, don't crush me

It's just the way you are
The way that you walk
The way that you talk
The way that you read me, baby
And honey don't hide
That look in your eyes
Darlin', it drives me crazy
And don't crush, don't crush me, no
Say you'll remain

And now that I finally found ya (I just can't live without ya)

You're making me so all about ya (I just can't live without ya)
I don't know what I gotta do
If I ain't got you
Because

It's just the way you are
The way that you walk
The way that you talk
The way that you read me, baby
Honey don't hide
That look in your eyes
Darlin', it drives me crazy

Say you'll remain my love
Don't let my heart break
And crush
Don't crush (the way that you walk), don't crush me, no (the way that you talk)
(The way that you, you read me baby)
'Cause I've crushed (and honey don't hide), I've crushed, oh (that look in your eyes)
Darlin' it, it drives me crazy)
Don't crush, 'cause I've crushed
Ooh, ooh, ah"

 

Chayeon claps her hands in encore, "That was amazing Eunbi!" She hugs the shorter girl making them both smile. "You should totally sing for the music festival in our school!" It was in a few months.

Eunbi scratches her cheek, "You think so?"

"I know so."

"Okay then!" Eunbi says and Chaeyeon engulfs her to another hug and lifts her up and spins her around.

"H-hey put me down!"

"I can't wait to hear you sing!"

____________

"I'm gonna go bathroom first." Chaeyeon tells Eunbi before walking away. After karaoke they decided to eat in a fast food restaurant after the tiring session of singing.

Eunbi stands alone and blushes, the scene of Chaeyeon lifting her up and spinning her around plays in her head. It was like a scene in a movie and it just makes her feel all giddy inside. "Heyo!" 

A voice calls out and snaps her out, "Kang-chan? What are you doing here?"

Hyewon was holding a big bread doll plushie, "I won this! Isn't he so cute?!" She excitingly shows her prize, Eunbi holds it and can't believe how squishy and soft it is.

"Woah, I want one!" Eunbi felt a bit envious and just stared at the bread plushie.

"You want one? I can give one to you." 

"Oh no, it's ok. It's your prize, I'll just have to visit you more to hug this big fella." Eunbi pats the bread.

"What are you doing here?" It was Hyewon's turn to ask the question back.

"I'm with Chaeyeon."

"Ohhh... That's great! How's the plan doing?" Hyewon whispers as if someone might be listening to them.

"Speak normally. And I think it's going great, we're hanging out more but I don't know if she feels the same."

"She'd be stupid if she didn't."

"That's

Chapter 17: I thought it would be somehow cheesy and fluffy story, but then I WAS ALL WRONG. What the hell. I just found out this story and spent my first tears reading the whole chapters in one day, in 2022 ㅠㅠ i don't why i keep on reading such an angsty story where the main character was so selfless and everything. God, but seriously this is one of amazing story. Everything is perfect except the ending part, i thought that i would be getting happy ending but no ㅠㅠ cleching my heart so tight because it was really hurt ㅠㅠ

Chapter 17: The ending is so sad but the story overall is amazing. I thought that it was gonna be a happy story and that Kangbi would end up together but it was the opposite. Thank you for this story! I really enjoyed it!

Chapter 17: Wow this is the first time I cried hard for a fanfic. This is so sad but the story is overall amazing. Normally, I wouldn't leave a comment on a story and just read it until the end and move on but this is so great. I suspected it on from the second or third chapter(?) But I kept going thinking that I may be wrong. I also thought kangbi endgame but them didn't ending up together is wonderful too(weird but it makes sense). Good job authornim!
