Foreword
A/N: I know I said I wasn't going to start something new, but I've had this one-shot idea for a while, and it's only intensified ever since I've been writing SB, especially the SeulKai in SB. I've recently watched "Before Sunrise", and am currently watching "Hospital Playlist", and just really felt like writing something short, bittersweet, and also a little dreamy haha.
Honestly, Johnny/Seulgi have never been my OTP ship, but I felt that they just suited the characters I was thinking of so well. Will also feature my actual OTPs Jaehyun/Seulgi and Johnny/Wendy hehehe. Spoiler: Please prepare your heart.
Pre-story notes:
- This one-shot flits between the present and past a lot. So chunks in normal writing are the present, and chunks in Italics are flashbacks of the past (save for a few Italics used in the present tense which are to emphasize certain words or to show character thoughts. You'll see when you see).
- Not rated M, but please be warned that there is some swearing and some reference to drinking.
- The story is set in Los Angeles, California. All the places I described are real. Some credit to The Museum of Broken Relationships, where I referenced some of the exhibits.
- This is a work of fiction. It doesn't reflect my opinion / opinion of people I know / opinion of my employers.
Dedicated to Bee - I know this wasn't the pairing you had in mind, but I think this is the kind of theme you'd like. Thank you for everything <3
Also dedicated to Emily - I hope you'll find some of the venues in Los Angeles familiar? Hahaha, hope that one day I can visit again.
This story is participating in the xodo writing contest by the lovely Din <3
