Wonyoung’s POV
It’s 9:00 on a Saturday morning.
This was one of those rare weekends where I didn’t have anything on my schedule; no vocal/dance classes, no meetings with agency for another project, no photoshoots, nothing and it felt good. Yujin had an early meeting today for a special project so by the time I woke up, she wasn’t in our bed anymore. I stretched my body and let out a tiny whine on the thought of getting up but I decided to stay wrapped in this warm, thick blanket a little bit longer.
I picked up my phone and opened my SNS accounts and browsed for a moment. I recently got sucked into the world of Tiktok, thanks to Rei and her dance challenges. To be honest, this app wasn’t all that bad. I was actually impressed at how good these people were with the contents I was seeing. The editing skills were amazing! There was this trend going on about calling your significant other by their names instead of the usual terms of endearment and I was laughing at their partners reactions. Some were hella extra, some were actually hurt and some ended up in arguments.
I didn’t think it would be much a bother to me if Yujin all of sudden called me Wonyoung, I mean that is my name. But then again, I do think it would be weird if she calls me by my full name. She rarely called me that and I know it’s serious business. We call each other Babe or Baby for the most part. I call her Yujinnie or Jinnie, and she calls me Wony or Wonyoungie. Thinking of all these endearments, it started making sense in my head how some would feel weird or questioned their significant others when they switched it up. An idea popped into my head. Maybe I should try this with Yujinnie later on. An evil grin plastered on my face.
A few more minutes of browsing through Titktok and delicious food started showing up on my FYP, I decided to close the app and got up to prepare breakfast for myself. I made our bed, did my morning routine in the bathroom and head to the kitchen. I got the coffee machine going then texted Yujin good morning and ask if she was going to be home by lunch. I put my phone down and walked over to the fridge and grabbed the ingredients for my veggie omelette. I fixed something for Azzo as well. Yujin usually brings him along when she goes out but considering I am home, she left him here with me to keep me company.
After breakfast, I did some minor cleaning and laundry then settled on the sofa to rewatch some Kdrama on Netflix. A little after noon, I heard the beeping sound of punching the security code from the front door. Jinnie’s home! The door opened and then closed, I could hear her movements; swapping her shoes to slippers. My girlfriend walked in the living room where I was and greeted me with a big smile.
“Hey Wony!” She put her stuff down and approached me with a kiss.
“Welcome home!” I greeted back. “How was the meeting?”
“It was good, just an introduction to a special 4th gen girl group performance I’m going to be part of for the SBS Gayo Daejeon. Not much details about it yet but I guess I was the second person they talked to.”
“Oh wow, that sounds exciting! I wonder who’s the first one? They wouldn’t tell you?”
“Nope. I don’t think it’s one of our members since no one said anything in our group chat.”
“Hmmm, who could possibly be on top of An Yujin that made you come second?” I said teasingly.
“No one is ever on top of me besides you babe.” She winked and came closer to kiss me again.
“I meant in the company silly.” I giggled.
Azzo must have finally heard his noona’s voice and entered the living room and Yujin immediately picked him up, giving him kisses.
“So what were you two up to this morning?”
“Nothing much really. I made breakfast, did some chores and now I’m just watching Netflix. Did you eat?”
“No, just Iced Americano. I wanted to be home and have a meal together.”
“Oh, well I texted you about lunch but you didn’t respond so I wasn’t sure and didn’t make extra food.”
“You did?” She asked while trying to fish her phone from her jogger’s pockets. When she finally found it, she checked it and frowned. “You did. I’m sorry babe, I was busy and forgot to check my messages.”
“It’s okay, no worries. My only concern is you haven’t eaten yet.”
“Well we can get something to eat now if you’re up for it? Or are you still full from breakfast?”
“No I can eat. We can have lunch together.”
“Great, what do you want babe?” She got up and went to the kitchen.
I decided that this was the perfect time to try out that Tiktok trend I saw this morning. “Anything is okay with me. Oh and Yujin, can you also grab me a bottle of water?”
Yujin looked back at me for a second with a surprised look but still proceeded to grab two bottles of water from the fridge. She put Azzo down and went back to sit right next to me on the sofa, handing me the drink.
“Thanks Yujin!” I opened the water bottle and drank, trying my best not to crack a smile while the short hair girl was looking at me weirdly.
Yujin sat there for a few minutes. She would occasionally look at me, looked on the side, looked down and looked at me again.
Staying in character, I asked her. “Did you figure out what you want for lunch?”
“Oh, uhm, doesn’t matter. I want to have what you want babe.”
“You’re the one who hasn’t eaten yet Yujin, just order anything from take out so it’s faster.” I pressed play on the remote and focused on watching the TV.
“Alright, what’s wrong? Are you okay?” She finally asked.
“Nothing, I’m fine. Why?”
“No, something’s up. You’re being weird. What is it? What did I do wrong?”
“How am I being weird? You’re being weird, why are you asking me these questions?” I finally looked at her.
“BECAUSE! You called me Yujin three times!”
“Uhm, okay? That’s your name isn’t it?”
“Yeah but you don’t call me that! Babe, what is it? What did I do? Just tell me so I can apologize properly.”
“Nothing! I don’t know why you’re being like this.”
The older girl straightened up her sitting position and started massaging her temples. “I’ve been scrambling my brain since the first time you said Yujin earlier. No it’s not our anniversary, it’s not your birthday, nothing important in our lives happened on this day so I know for sure I didn’t forget anything.”
“I know that, yes nothing is wrong. Yujin, are YOU okay?”
“FOUR TIMES NOW! Why do you keep calling me Yujin!” She said while waiving four of her fingers up in front of me.
“BECAUSE IT’S YOUR NAME!”
“No, no no, I’m Baby, Babe, Jinnie, to you. Not Yujin!” She sighs. “Is it because I left you alone in bed this morning? I’m sorry Wony, I swear I kissed you goodbye like many times. I didn’t want to wake you up since you rarely sleep in. Baby, please I’m sorry!”
I couldn’t keep it together anymore because Yujin looked so upset and I didn’t want her to suffer any longer.
“Awww, baby that’s sweet. Come here.” I cupped her cheeks and pulled her in for a kiss. “I was just messing with you.”
She looked at me confusedly. “Huh? Wait what?”
I told her about the whole Tiktok trend and how I wanted to see how she would react to it.
“Aish, are you satisfied now ha? Was it amusing to you?” She shook her head.
“Very satisfied.” I chuckled. “You should’ve seen your face when I called you by your name the first time.”
“Not funny. How would you feel if I suddenly called you Wonyoung huh? Or even Vicky?!”
“No, I wouldn’t like that at all.” I grabbed her right arm and put it around me so I can cuddle her on the sofa. “I’m sorry baby, I was just kidding.”
Yujin was still sulking so I started planting small kisses on her neck. I could tell she was definitely enjoying that while still trying to pretend to be mad.
“I won’t do it again babe.”
“You better not because I will ignore you.” She looked down and lift my chin up to hers, our lips inches away.
“I only answer to Baby.”
Kiss.
“or Babe.”
Kiss.
“or Jinnie only.”
Longer kiss this time.
I was blushing hard. Almost a decade together and Yujin’s kisses never fails to make me feel things and I don’t think I’ll ever get used to it. I mean, I don’t ever want to anyway.
“Noted Baby!” I said enthusiastically. “So, have you decided what you want to eat for lunch?”
Yujin nodded, putting her phone down on the side table.
“Yes, I just placed an order on the app. In the meantime, I think I want to have a quick snack with you though.” She said as she laid me down on the sofa.
