Chapter Text
“The one hit wonder artist Park Jinyoung just released another single today and even with a huge actress acting in the mv beside him there is not as hype as his solo debut album. What happen? There is rumours saying because of his first album success he turn into the snob artist and….”
Jinyoung didn’t heard the next words because Mark, his manager turn off the radio.
“Filthy radio, just spouting nonsense.”
“Turn on the radio please hyung. I want to know what he said about my latest release.”
“Don’t. Just… Don’t listen to them. You are a talented artist Jinyoung.”
“Yeah right, this is my second flop song in the span of 4 months.”
“No.. I mean yeah the few new song is not your cup of tea but it’s not your fault. It’s the company! How come they wanted you to be a pop singer when people love your original sound? You are more to country, rnb and ballad type. No wonder people hated your new song because it’s sound like the kpop group idol song. I mean that is fine but it’s not suited you at all.”
“That is because I can’t fucking write a song! The company keep asking because they want to milk everything after my success debut! I just debut like a year ago and they wanted more!” Jinyoung sigh. “How can I delivered? I took 3 years to make the whole album. To make it as perfect as I can be.”
“Jinyoung… Don’t be to stressed. Hyung already talk to them.”
“But they still want me to write more song right? Shits. I don’t know why I can’t write.. I didn’t have any single inspiration!”
“Calm down Jinyoung, I believe you will find your inspiration. I think you just need a time to rest? You have been so busy for the past few moths with the promotion, concert and signing event.”
“Yeah right…. Can I just went on a hiatus?”
“I already talk with the company, let’s wait for their response eh? In the meantime you just do whatever you want!”
“Urgh I want to just sleeeeeeeeep.”
“Do that.”
Jinyoung then close his eyes and wishes that he can start getting inspired to write a song for his fan.

Jaebeom slowly open his eyes and look at his phone and when he realize the date he jump toward his study table and see the calendar especially the circle date and he screams. 2 minutes later come Mrs Lim with a ladle in her right hand.
“Oh my god Jaebeom what happen?” Jihyo
“Nothing mom! Today will be my 3 months anniversary with Sungjin hyung! And by the look at it we will not break up at all.” Jaebeom squeal
Park Sungjin. The senior who Jaebeom meet at his college. A nice guy with a good looking face. Jaebeom instantly fall for him. Today is the mark of their 3 month anniversary and Jaebeom is elated because this will be his first long last relationship ever.
Well this is his third relationship in the span of his 22 years of living. His first one with the guy who confessed to him turn out to be a funny joke from his enemy, Jackson. Jackson Wang is the son of their family enemy well more like frenemies. Jackson’s grandpa and Jaebeom’s grandmother used to be a couple until Jaebeom’s grandfather come and his grandmother fall for him.
Jaebeom’s grandpa always told him how that old guy put a curse even when grandma deny everything what he said. Jaebeom’s mind already full with how his grandpa told him that he will never find true love. His mother always told him his grandpa only joking around him because he love seeing Jaebeom’s scared face.
But if it’s a joke why the first two relationship never last?
Jaebeom’s first relationship is when he is 15. Some girl confessed to him and he was so happy because she is the only girl who wanted to talk with him. They were so happy, scratch that, Jaebeom are so happy and treated the girl like a queen and for 3 weeks he really think the girl love him.
Until that unfortunate day, it was Valentine Days and Jaebeom waiting patiently for his suppose girlfriend to give him chocolate and how shocked he is when the girl went to give the chocolate to Jackson.
Jackson and Jaebeom relationship at that time is like your usual 15 year old boy who always compete with each other. But he don’t know why Jackson love to tease him.
Jackson smirk at Jaebeom and shout.
“Do you think someone will choose you when she can have me?”
All the other student just laugh and Jaebeom trying not to cry and run away from that place. Since that day, he swear to never want to involve with Jackson Wang.
But alas, their parents is a great friends so they always meet, until the Wang moved to Hong Kong and Jaebeom are so happy living without Jackson in his life.
His second relationship?
Only last for a week, turn out the guy who Jaebeom meet online just want to scam him. Jaebeom really don’t involve himself in relationship again because he really thought that he was cursed. So for the past 5 years he stay out of any relationship.
He enjoyed his time as student with his best friend Choi Youngjae and also the couple who he meet at college, Kim Yugyeom and Kunpimook Bhuwakul.
He living his best life until he accidentally bump into Park Sungjin. A senior. A really good looking senior. Even after the accident they still keep contact until out of blue Sungjin ask Jaebeom out.
Jaebeom who at first quit worried but with Sungjin sweet talking to him he agreed and how it was his best decision ever. Both of them are quite awkward with the new relationship but for the 2 month everything was super fine.
“Sungjin? I never meet him right?” Jihyo
“No mom, I don’t want him to come meet you guy because I don’t want him to get overwhelmed with the 3 of you.”
“Why? We are just a nice kind people.” Jihyo
“You are but not dad and grandma will be her creepy self saying things like how he will be my soulmate or whatever.” Jaebeom huff.
“You know that she will talk about that topic with how she meet your grandpa. She believe in that soulmate thingy let her be.”
“But she always mention it and like I already have the cursed from Wang and I don’t want people to be scared of her story.”
“Jaebeom darling, if someone truly love you they will never care about anything else.”
“Urgh you can say that because dad love you, I need someone like him.”
“And you think that Sungjin guy can be like that?”
“I hope so, urgh whatever, I never told him about my curse so I really hope he will be my one true love.”
“Awww sweetie, I will pray that but sometime it’s really a long way to find a true love.”
“But how can you and dad met just ONCE and totally smitten with each other?”
“Well sometime people are just lucky? Whatever it is you are still young. Don’t worry okay.”
Jihyo give Jaebeom a kiss on his forehead before head out from his son room.
Jaebeom just sigh and hope, seriously hoping that Sungjin is the one.

Jinyoung with his disguise attire, black hoodie, black mask, sunglasses and his big ass guitar went out for a walk to find some inspiration. After taking a 30 minutes train to Samcheong-dong, Jinyoung took a deep breath. He really love the air around this place. This is his go to place whenever he had time when he was a trainee. Especially the building surround him, make it so nostalgic.
Jinyoung was just walking around and trying to find a place for him to write when suddenly he heard a loud screaming. Jinyoung look around and found the source, there is two guys around his age a few steps ahead from him.
“No!!!! You can’t do this to me!.”
“Yah, Jaebeom don’t scream.”
“How dare you! You said those things to me and want me to accept everything? Lord you are a shit piece of human being.”
“Don’t talk to me like that!”
“So you want me to talk like what?”
“Urgh, those people warn me bout this.”
“Warn you about what?”
“That you are just a annoying type of person, a virgin who will attached to whoever show you a little attention. In these past 3 months you keep clinging on me. Keep giving me things, keeping up date to me where you go, what you do. No wonder people don’t want to be with you, even with that face of yours. You are so annoying Jaebeom.”
Jinyoung who don’t know whether to walk away or just stay because he actually the only one here in the middle of the day seeing this two guys arguing? Lovers arguing? Jinyoung don’t know but by the look of the guy who is facing Jinyoung right now, his face turn red and he is in the verge of crying.
“Whatever, do what you want.”
The other guy turn and leave.
Shit. That is harsh. Why the fuck they breaking up in the middle of the day? Beside the road? Urgh now the other guy turn and face him.
“What are you looking at?”
Jinyoung just bow and walk away.
Jinyoung then continue survey around the city and end up finding a cute café name Yogurbara.
“Is this new?” Jinyoung wondering.
The design of the café is quite cozy and when Jinyoung open the door the smell of freshly bake goods and also the coffee make his stomach grumble.
“Welcome.” An elderly women who just seated at the table near the door greet him.
Jinyoung just bow and then look around the café. Its not too big or too small. Just a warm feeling when Jinyoung look at the art design. Jinyoung then walk toward the counter which also display the food. Everything look so delicious.
“Welcome to Yogurbara, may I take your order.”
A much younger women who look like the elderly one greet him with a warm smile.
“Thank you, this is my first time here urm would you recommend me something?”
“Ah sure sure, well first do you prefer coffee? Tea? Choco drinks? Or smoothies?”
“I can drink anything but not too sweet.”
“I see so let me recommend you in this sunny day our refresher drink. Passion with love lemonade. This drink have as you can guess passion fruit added with a little bit of our own grown strawberry. A little bit of sweetness but will make you feel so fresh.”
“Sound good and may you add something to eat? Anything is fine by me.”
“Okay. Will sent it to your table or are you want to take out?”
“Eat here please.”
“Sure, here is your receipt. My husband will sent it to you in a minutes.”
“Thank you.”
Jinyoung just watch the nice lady making his drink. Jinyoung didn’t see anyone else so maybe the couple is the only one who manage this café.
Nice.
Having someone you love working side by side.

Jaebeom is so pissed. He thought today might be the day that his curse will be lifted because it has been 3 months since Sungjin confessed and ask him out. So when the said man ask him to meet Jaebeom was so excited.
Jaebeom told Sungjin to fetch him out a few metre away from his café because Jaebeom decided to let Sungjin met his family. But when Sungjin arrived 10 minutes late before their appointed time there is some guy who seated next to him inside his car. Jaebeom didn’t recognize the guy. But it’s weird for your boyfriend to bring another guy when he is on a date with his boyfriend right?
Jaebeom just smile when the sour looking Sungjin walk toward him.
“Hey. You ready?”
“Urm Jaebeom… I need to speak with you.”
“Okay.. What?”
“I want to end this. End us.”
“Wait? What? What did you mean by this?”
“You know, I was just breaking up with my ex when we first met and I thought being together with you will make me less sad. It does, but my ex just say he still love me and I realize that I still love him too.”
“What the fuck? So I am just a rebound? You are the one who confessed first and now just because your ex wanted you back. You dumped me?”
“It is what it is.”
“No!!!! You can’t do this to me!.”
“Yah, Jaebeom don’t scream.”
“How dare you! You said those things to me and want me to accept everything? Lord you are a shit piece of human being.”
“Don’t talk to me like that!”
“So you want me to talk like what?”
“Urgh, other people warn me bout this.”
“Warn you about what?”
“That you are just a clingy type of person, a virgin who will attached to whoever show you a little attention. No wonder people don’t want to be seeing with you. You are so annoying Jaebeom.”
Jaebeom who’s feeling already hurt now are torn because of the words. Jaebeom knows he is not like the normal guy in his age just because his extra clingy. Well if you have a loving family like him you will be clingy too. He has lots of affection to share with but the other people will see him a clingy person.
To save his dignity, Jaebeom just walk away. He don’t have time to spare for that jerks.
Jaebeom try to be strong but his tears falls when he knows that Sungjin can’t see him anymore. Jaebeom are sad not because of the break up but the words that he said. Now Jaebeom wonder if he is so annoyed that no one wanted to be with him?
Jaebeom might see as clingy person because he is a friendly guy. He like to know what his love one doing. Is that wrong? Giving things? Yeah because every things that Jaebeom gave to Sungjin is because he was so thankful for the older guy. Huh he never complain about it before this and now after his ex wanted him back suddenly all the things Jaebeom done is annoying?
What if this is his fate. Maybe just maybe. He was born to be alone in this world.
