CONGRATULATIONS (KAI X READER)

CONGRATULATIONS

Let's take some time

Those words rang in your ears as he left, slamming the door behind him. Three months ago, Kim Jongin walked away.

When I heard that, I understood it exactly as it sounded-
That we should take some time

You'd known it would be hard, going into this relationship. With him travelling all the time to promote the group, tours, managers, crazy fans-
Hard wasn't even the right word to describe what they went through. Despite it all, you were willing to give up everything in a heartbeat for him.

Congratulations, you're so amazing

2:30 a.m
And you're utterly exhausted, dragging your feet as you stumble into your small apartment. Juggling college, a full time job, and sports wasn't exactly easy on the body or mind. After setting your bag down, you sleepily wandered into the bedroom to find him entangled with another girl.

Congratulations, how could you be so fine?

His smile, the one thing that could put you in a good mood on a bad day.
The same smile that you wanted to protect, now made your blood run cold with pure hate. There had always been that small insecurity deep inside you that he could be with so many other girls. Girls that were taller, prettier, smarter, and just better than you. Why was this hurting you so much when you saw it coming?

How could you trample on me?

The rumors and lies. He crossed the line, saying things that weren't true. Fans showed up, messing with your job and ultimately getting you fired. Apparently you'd, 'Hurt their precious Kai-Oppa and needed to pay!' Or whatever bullshit he and SM had fed the media. Just. Fucking. Great. Luckily, it didn't take long to find a different job, but the fact that Jongin had flat out lied to cover his own ass gave you a good idea of just how much he really cared about you.

I see your smiling face, I guess you forgot about everything

Slipping out your door and onto the sidewalk, you thought about a variety of things.
The way he would hold you when it felt like the sky was going to crash down. How all of those late nights, early mornings, and lazy afternoons were always made the most out of, despite the fact that the two of you couldn't go out because of his public image. All of the little kisses and big hugs, and all of the memories from the two years that you'd called him yours.

When you said let's take some time,
When you said let's think about it...

You clenched your fists, looking up at the dark, clouded sky. Tears welled in your eyes, as you grit your teeth. You weren't going to cry over him, there was no use in wasting your time and energy on someone who didn't care. His smiling face was all over the TV and social media. EXO's songs played on the radio all the time. If he was just ine, why weren't you? If he was smiling, why couldn't you smile too?

You looked into my eyes and made me believe you

"Wait! Y/N?"

A familiar voice followed by hurried footsteps came from your left. There was a small silence as a young man came to a stop in front of you, chest heaving as he caught his breath. Intense eyes, dark hair, tan skin and full lips-

"Jongin?"

|A/N: Not beta'd lol, probably going to edit later on, but this is my first shot at a songfic. I love DAY6's song 'Congratulations' and wanted to try and write something angsty because who doesn't like angst??|
