Catch Me (Purinz/Chaewon x Yunjin)

May: Part Two

It was the final week before prom, and unfortunately, that meant it was regular old school was still in session.

A normal day, however, was not in the cards.

In a last minute surge of urgency, desperation, and guts, SSE High's underclassmen launched themselves into a challenge to trap seniors into taking them. Really, it was something of a marvel.

Chaewon made her way over to her locker, tongue poking out slightly as she turned the combo lock, hearing a satisfying click before yanking it down, swinging her locker open with a triumphant smile.

That smile quickly turned into a gasp when roses upon roses and various letters fell out, all with different scripts, mostly from freshman boys she'd tutored.

Chaewon heard a breath in her ear as two arms wrapped around her tightly.

"Those aren't from me." Yunjin's voice was dripping with amusement as she leaned in to kiss Chaewon's cheek.

"Hey babe." Chaewon sighed in contentment, turning around to face her. "I know. They're from last minute freshmen." She rolled her eyes. "They do this every year. I'm pretty sure Sunghoon pulled this shit when he was a freshman too."

"I don't blame them." Yunjin shrugged with a smirk. "You're quite the catch."

Chaewon blushed, glancing down at Yunjin's hands, which were also filled with flowers.

"I'm assuming you didn't just go and pick those for me?" Chaewon teased.

"I, too, was attacked by a mob of adoring underclassmen girls." Yunjin responded, slipping the flowers into Chaewon's locker so she could grip Chaewon's hips instead. "It's like they don't know I'm already taking the love of my life." Yunjin grinned, leaning forward to capture Chaewon's lips in a delicate kiss, well aware of the stares they were receiving.

"Your life?" Chaewon teased. "That's such a commitment. Are you sure you won't grow tired of me?"

"I'm sure." Yunjin murmured, affectionately nuzzling Chaewon's nose. "Is your dress sorted? Everything okay?"

"Mhmm. You? I still don't know what you're wearing." Chaewon pouted.

"And you won't until I pick you up." Yunjin replied matter-of-factly, hugging Chaewon as she leaned into her embrace tiredly, just waiting for the day to end.

"I'm nervous for you to see me." Chaewon admitted with a shy smile. Yunjin's gaze still gave her immense butterflies. She wondered if that feeling would ever go away. She wagered it wouldn't.

"Nervous?" Yunjin tsked. "Why?"

"Because you're already the hottest person in school without trying, and for prom, you're somehow going to be even more so. And I have to step my game up immensely to bridge the gap." Chaewon explained.

"Gap?" Yunjin snorted, clearly displeased. "How many times do I have to tell you that you are the embodiment of perfection, Chaewon, before it sinks in?"

"It's hard dating someone as perfect as you." Chaewon rolled her eyes, burrowing into Yunjin's warmth.

"You know I'd still drool over you in a shirt and jeans." Yunjin assured her softly.

"I know. I just...want to be at your level. I don't know. Just..." Chaewon sighed, leaning up to kiss her. "I want everything to be perfect."

She knew what prom meant to Chaewon. It was the culmination of her survival of four of the most difficult years of her life. It was the night to put Yeonjun, Minju, and the accident behind her. It was the night to honor Taehyung's memory, to treat Chaewon to the luxuries she deserved.
