US: Kim Yugyeom X Reader [DISCONTINUED]

22 | Seoul ~ 11.03.18

"Do you think I'm putting on weight?" I stare at myself in the mirror. Yugyeom sits on my bed, covered by all the clothes that I'm getting ready to pack for my flight to Seoul in the morning.

"Not really," He finally says after looking at me for a while. I can tell that he thinks I have but just doesn't want to say it.

"Stop lying!" I playfully push him as he laughs and falls back onto the mountain of clothes.

"Okay fine. You have but it doesn't look bad...like...at all. You need a bit of meat on you anyways. It's no fun hugging you." He continues to watch me look at myself in the mirror. From the corner of my eye I see a smirk on his face.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Stop it." I laugh at the sight of him. I lay next to him and we both just stare at the ceiling, taking a well deserved break from all the packing.

"I can't believe I'm leaving tomorrow," I say, half excited and half upset.

"You're gonna be amazing, Jia. You have no idea how proud I am of you."

"Just promise me that while I'm gone, you won't be all depressed. And don't give your hyungs such a hard time, okay?"

"I promise. Except for that last part. And you're not all that anyways so I'll be fine without you HAHA."

"Then who cried for hours the other day when I started to pack up my stuff?" I sit up on my stomach to laugh at him.

"Yh yh whatever!" He pulls me into him and holds me so tight that I can't breath.

"Okay okay. I get it. You'll miss me but at this rate you'll kill me," I say with the little breath I have and tap his chest indicating to let go.

"Nooo! Wait, just a little while longer...please." Even though he was the one that set this all up for me and knew this day would come, I can feel him slightly regretting it. No matter how big he looks, he's still such a softie at heart. I know it's killing him watching me go.

I smile to myself seeing him try to make every moment last. "Okay...but only for a bit. We still have a lot to pack up."

He pulls me closer into him, making me feel like I never want to leave his warm embrace. He grabs my cheeks and leaves light kisses all over my face before holding me to his chest again.

I feel at home with him. I feel safe.

Weeks go by and I still haven't made a decision. February is coming soon and I have to tell the scout my answer before he goes back to Korea. At times like these, the only person I know who will give me the best advice is my mum.

"He really loves you doesn't he..."

"He does, mum. I know I'm only 17 but I feel like Yugyeom and I will always be like this."

"So have you given the scout an answer?"

"That's the thing. I really want to go but I don't want to leave you, Jihyun and dad...and of course Yugyeom."

"Jia stop being silly!"

That was unexpected...

"Huh?"

"Jia. I am so proud of you! Don't you know that?! JYP himself wants you to be part of his company! Without an official audition!"

"..."

"Hun, of course I'll miss you and miss seeing your face everyday. But it's not like I'll be alone. I have your dad to help me with Jihyun and I know for sure that Yugyeom will come by to check on us for you. And you're a strong girl. You're my strong girl. No matter how far away from us you'll be, I know you'll put everything you've got into what you'll be doing. You're already so independent, you won't even need us. You don't know how talented, how beautiful and how much you make me proud. So don't think that taking this opportunity will cause problems for us. Everyone is extremely happy for you so you better listen to me...Call that scout and tell him you're accepting the offer!"
