Jungwon | The Seeker's Secret Slip-Up

Harry Potter AU

The roar of the crowd was deafening, a cacophony of scarlet and green, each house vying to out-shout the other. It was the Quidditch Cup final – Gryffindor versus Slytherin – and the tension hanging over the pitch was thicker than Professor Snape’s hair grease. High above it all, zipping through the crisp autumn air like a blur, was Yang Jungwon, Gryffindor’s star Seeker. His eyes, usually so soft and kind, were narrowed in fierce concentration, scanning for the elusive Golden Snitch.

On the Gryffindor side, Heeseung, ever the steady, supportive friend, cheered himself hoarse alongside Jake and Sunoo, who were probably making bets on how many times Jungwon would nearly collide with a Bludger. Sunghoon, perched calmly in the Ravenclaw stands but clearly rooting for his Gryffindor pal, offered silent encouragement, occasionally adjusting his spectacles.

Across the stadium, nestled amongst a sea of emerald green, sat Na Haemin. Her Slytherin robes were impeccable, her expression carefully neutral, but if you looked closely, her fingers were subtly twirling the edge of her scarf – a nervous habit Jungwon knew all too well. Beside her, Jay looked utterly bored by the entire spectacle, occasionally checking his nails, while Ni-ki was engrossed in sketching something on a scrap of parchment, probably a highly unflattering caricature of a Gryffindor Chaser.

None of them, of course, knew the real reason Haemin was there. Not just to support her house (which she dutifully did, sometimes), but to catch a glimpse of a certain golden-boy Gryffindor. Their relationship was a secret, a carefully constructed illusion maintained with hushed whispers in hidden alcoves and quick, stolen glances in the hallways. A Gryffindor Seeker and a Slytherin scholar? It was practically a forbidden romance, and they relished the illicit thrill of it.

The match raged on, a whirlwind of flying brooms, soaring Quaffle, and explosive Bludgers. Gryffindor was ahead by eighty points, but it was all down to Jungwon. If he caught the Snitch, the Cup was theirs. He dipped and swerved, a natural on his Firebolt, his small frame almost disappearing against the vastness of the stadium. Then, he saw it – a tiny, glinting speck near the Slytherin goalposts.

“THE SNITCH!” a commentator’s voice boomed over the magical amplification system.

Jungwon put on a burst of speed, his heart thumping a frantic rhythm against his ribs. The Slytherin Seeker, a wiry fifth-year, was hot on his tail. But Jungwon was faster, driven by a desire to win, yes, but also by a quiet, hopeful thought of celebrating later, discreetly, with Haemin. He stretched out a hand, his fingers brushing against the fluttering wings. One more push…

Thwack!

His fingers closed around the tiny, struggling ball.

A deafening roar erupted from the Gryffindor stands. Red confetti rained down. Whistles, cheers, and chants of “GRYFFINDOR! GRYFFINDOR!” shook the very foundations of the stadium. Jungwon held the Snitch aloft, a wide, triumphant grin splitting his face, his eyes shining with pure elation. His teammates swarmed him, patting his back, shouting congratulations. Heeseung, Jake, and Sunoo were already tearing down from the stands, ready to mob him.

But Jungwon didn't move towards them.His gaze cut through the swirling celebratory chaos, past the Gryffindor team, past the professors, past the cheering crowd. His eyes locked onto a patch of green in the distance. He saw her. Haemin. Her hand had flown to her mouth, her eyes wide as she watched him. Her neutral facade had shattered, replaced by an expression of unguarded awe and happiness for him.

And that was it. In a flash of pure, unadulterated joy, all rational thought, all caution, all secrecy flew out of Jungwon’s head like a startled Niffler.

He kicked off his broom, abandoning it mid-air for a beaming teammate to catch, and launched himself towards the Slytherin stands. The Gryffindor celebration faltered. His teammates paused, looking confused. The crowd, initially roaring, began to quiet, a collective murmur rising as they watched the Gryffindor Seeker, still clutching the Snitch, sprint not towards his ecstatic housemates, but directly towards the enemy lines.

Haemin saw him coming. Her eyes widened further, first in surprise, then in a dawning horror. “Oh, no,” she whispered, her cheeks flushing. Jay, finally looking up from his nails, raised an eyebrow. Ni-ki stopped sketching, his head tilting.

Jungwon didn't stop. He vaulted over the low railing separating the pitch from the stands, dodged a bewildered Hufflepuff, and reached her row. He didn't even slow down. Before she could react, he grabbed Haemin around the waist, pulling her flush against his sweat-dampened Quidditch robes.

“We won, Haemin! We won!” he practically yelled, his voice thick with exhilaration.

He spun her around once, twice, a giddy laugh bubbling up from his chest. Haemin let out a surprised squeak, her hands instinctively clutching his shoulders. The world blurred around them for a second, a dizzying mix of green and red robes. When he finally stopped spinning, he looked down at her, his eyes shining, and without a second thought, lowered his head.

A soft, triumphant peck landed squarely on her lips.

For a moment, the entire stadium fell silent. A collective, audible gasp swept through the crowd, like a giant, magical sigh. Every single eye was on the Gryffindor Seeker, still beaming, his arm still around the waist of a very, very mortified Slytherin.

Haemin, whose face was now a shade of crimson that rivaled Jungwon’s Gryffindor scarf, slowly pushed him back.

“Jungwon,” she hissed, her voice barely a whisper, but laced with a terror that made the triumphant Seeker finally blink. “Our secret.”

Jungwon’s wide smile faltered. His eyes darted around, taking in the sea of stunned faces. The Gryffindor team, frozen mid-cheer. The Slytherins, gaping openly. Jay and Ni-ki, now wearing matching expressions of utter disbelief, followed by slow, knowing smirks.

“Oh,” Jungwon said, the realization hitting him like a rogue Bludger. He slowly released Haemin, his ears starting to burn. “Right. The secret.”

“Jungwon!” Heeseung’s voice cut through the stunned silence, equal parts exasperation and bewildered amusement. He, along with Jake and Sunoo, had finally reached the edge of the Slytherin stands, looking like they’d just witnessed a unicorn tap-dance. Sunghoon had even left the Ravenclaw section, calmly making his way over, a faint smile playing on his lips.

“You absolute Gryffindor,” Jay muttered, shaking his head. He exchanged an incredulous look with Ni-ki, who had pulled out his camera and was attempting to subtly take a photo.

Haemin smacked Jungwon lightly on the arm, though there was a tremor in her hand that suggested she was trying not to laugh. “You just declared our relationship to the entire wizarding world!” she exclaimed, her voice still low, but with a definite edge of indignation.

Jungwon winced. “It was just… pure joy! You were there, and I saw you, and we won, and…” He trailed off, gesturing vaguely. “It felt right!”

“Right for you to expose us? In front of Dumbledore?” Haemin retorted, though a small smile was starting to tug at the corner of her lips.

Heeseung groaned, running a hand through his hair. “I told him to celebrate with the team first. I explicitly said, ‘Jungwon, high-fives and victory laps, then whatever secret rendezvous you have planned.’”

“I don’t remember you saying that,” Jungwon mumbled, still a bit dazed.“

Heeseung hyung definitely said that,” Jake chimed in, nodding sagely. Sunoo giggled, covering his mouth.

Sunghoon finally reached them, his expression perfectly serene. “Well, at least now we know why Jungwon’s been so distracted during practice. And why Haemin keeps ‘accidentally’ dropping her books near the Gryffindor common room.”

Haemin’s face flushed again. “It was a secret for a reason!”

“A terrible secret, apparently,” Jay said, finally cracking a wide grin. “Honestly, Haemin, a Gryffindor? And the Seeker at that. You’re lucky we’re still friends.”

“You’re just jealous because he catches things,” Ni-ki offered, elbowing Jay.

Jungwon, emboldened by the teasing, wrapped an arm around Haemin’s shoulder. “Hey, she loves my Gryffindor spirit! And my winning streak.”

Haemin sighed, a long-suffering sound that was entirely for show. She leaned into his embrace, a small, genuine smile finally gracing her lips. “You are an idiot, Yang Jungwon.”

“But I’m your idiot,” he whispered, planting another, slightly less public, kiss on her forehead.

The Gryffindor students, who had started to tentatively cheer again, let out a collective "Aww!" The professors pretended not to notice, though Professor McGonagall’s lips were twitching suspiciously. Their secret was out, splashed across the front page of tomorrow’s Daily Prophet, no doubt. But looking at Jungwon, beaming down at her, Haemin knew one thing for sure: even with the entire wizarding world now privy to their romance, a little public embarrassment was a small price to pay for a Seeker’s pure, unadulterated love. And, maybe, just maybe, it was a little bit hilarious.

word count: 1.8k

a/n: hi darlings! its been almost three weeks since my last update for my hee smau but honestly i have no creative juice atm to update so i'm releasing this one! i been reading and watching hp again so i wrote this one in a whim and i hope you enjoy this! love ya <3 !!!

Jake walked through his potions class. Professor Slughorn started to discuss how to create Amortentia, a potion that was said to be the most powerful love potion. You could also know the person to whom you are most attracted by taking a whiff.

One thing he did know was that he wished for this class to end. His quidditch team had been practicing for weeks for the upcoming match against Slytherin, and as captain, he exerted himself to the fullest. As his eyes tried to keep themselves awake, he told himself that a short nap sounded so much better than being in this class, and Potions is his favorite class, which tells something.

He finished making the potion, and now it's time to finally take a sniff of it. As he placed his nose near the potion, he got the scent of strawberry and vanilla. He hadn't processed the scent yet, but it smelled familiar, which greatly confused him. Professor Slughorn dismissed the class, and he walked to the library as he processed the scent he got from the potion.

He bumped into someone as he walked towards the library, and it was Yn. She had her hair in a braid, which he found very pretty. She apologized and quickly saw that it was Jake she bumped into. "Oh, it's you. Nice to see you, Jake. I apologize for bumping into you. Although it seems you're in a trance, how's the quidditch practice going?," she said. "Hi, it's going well. Thank you for asking," he said while scratching his neck. "Well, that's good to hear, but also don't forget to rest and take proper meals. You won't be at your full potential once the match comes," she said while waving goodbye to the captain.

This is when it hit him that the familiar scent was from his best friend, Yn. It was her favorite vanilla and strawberry perfume, which she had used since her first year. This newly found discovery led him to realize that he is utterly in love with her and doesn't know how to approach this situation. One thing is for sure, and that's he's fucked.

Jay noticed that Jake had been staring off into space rather than studying. He quickly snapped his fingers in front of Jake, which made the boy come back to his senses. "Something is up; you rarely stare off cause that's more of Sunghoon's thing," which earned the boy a smack in the arm from his other friend who was sitting beside Jay. "Jay is right, you've been like this after Potions class. What happened during that class?," Sunghoon said. "I just realized that I'm in love with Yn," he said to his best friends, who were looking at each other as if this revelation was nothing new. "Okay, tell us something that isn't obvious," Jay said. This left the boy surprised that his friends weren't shocked by his infatuation with the girl. "How come you know it? Am I that obvious?," he asked them. "It doesn't take a genius to know you are in love with her," Sunghoon said, while Jay continued, "The way your eyes lit up while talking to her or how jealous you get when a student tries to make any move toward her. Jake, we can read you like a book," he told the boy in front of him.

There is one fear that Jake had if he were to confess his feelings towards her, and that would be ruining the five years of friendship between them. He can't imagine how he will cope with losing a best friend like her over his feelings. He just can't risk losing her. He expressed this concern to the two boys in front of him: "I don't know if I want to hex you right now or not because I will lose my hair over how oblivious you are to her actions whenever you two are together. It's clear that she likes you back," Jay said while looking visibly defeated by his friend. "Also, it's only two years before we leave Hogwarts, so if I were you, confess now or hurt yourself by seeing her with another man," Sunghoon added as Jake ruffled his hair in frustration. He has decided that today will be the day that he confesses his true feelings.

At the same time, Yn went back to her common room to ease her mind. She had been studying all weekend for her Defense Against the Dark Arts test, which will make up half of her grade this semester. Her mind went back to the talk she had with her friend, Violet. It was about love, most specifically the person they fancied. It was clear to her that she liked Jake — for five years, to be exact.

This goes back to their first years, when they were boarding the train, and she didn't find any empty cabins except for one that already had a black-haired boy sitting in it. "May I sit here? Every cabin is full already," she asked as the boy nodded. The train ride was silent, but she was determined to make friends at her new school. She quickly learned his name was Jake, and he was half-blood. Going off the train, the first years were sorted, in which she was sorted in Ravenclaw while her new friend was sorted in Hufflepuff. Despite being in different houses, their friendship only grew stronger as the years passed. It then hit her that she was in love with the smart, funny, and kind Hufflepuff boy whom she met on the train.

Her owl flew into the room as she dropped a letter with a seal that had "JK" on it. It was from Jake, and he had written her a letter to meet him at Hogsmeade as he wanted to talk to her. She quickly got changed and headed towards the meet-up place with a nervous heart.

Jake was 5 minutes earlier than Yn, and the air felt different the moment he saw her. She was so beautiful that he could get lost in her eyes. "Jake, what is the thing you wanted to talk about?," she said, which broke his trance. "Oh, about that. I want to tell you something." As he spoke while trying to avoid eye contact with her. She felt nervous as she waited for the words that would come out of his mouth; he had never asked her to talk with him alone. If she learns that her best friend is utterly in love with someone, she would rather turn into a water droplet than hear that come out of his mouth. "The thing is, I like you. No, that's not it. I'm utterly in love with you, Yn. I've wanted to tell you about this but I wasn't too sure with my feelings, but Jay and Sunghoon pushed me to tell you my true feelings before it will eat me alive," he spoke while finally looking at her directly.

She was left speechless. The boy with whom she is in love just confessed to her. Many things are running through her mind now that she hasn't spoken to the boy for 3 minutes straight. He started to feel that confessing his feelings wasn't the right choice, and now he will lose his best friend. "I will go now. I don't need to know what your answer is cause it's obvious by your reaction," he said as he stood up. But he was quickly pulled by her, and she kissed him, after which he kissed her back. The kiss was full of love, and Jake was the first to pull away. He looked at her flushed face as she tried to look at him. "You didn't gave me a chance to reply. I was speechless, you idiot. To answer you back, I like you too. No, I'm in love with you and have always been. I love you, Jake," she said while lovingly caressing his cheeks. He connected their foreheads as the biggest grin appeared in his face.

Jake came back to the dorm smiling from ear to ear, which made Sunghoon ask him about what happened between them. "She likes me back. The girl I love, loves me back. She will also cheer for me during our match against Slytherin," he said as he rambles about you, which earned an annoyed face from Sunghoon, but deep down, he is happy that Jake is happy and with the woman he loves. Unbeknownst to Jake, she was also gushing towards Violet about everything that went down in Hogsmeade. This is the happiest day for the both of them.

2 WEEKS LATER. THE DAY OF THE QUIDDITCH MATCH.

Jake was nervous, but it all dissolved when he saw his girlfriend in the Ravenclaw stands. This was his year as captain, so he felt a great responsibility to win the house cup for their team. As the team went to their places, Madam Hooch gave a blast from her whistle. Soon after, the brooms went off in different directions. The Slytherin team scored the first point as their chaser, Heeseung, shot a fast ball. The game was intense, as the teams scores were 90 to 80, with Hufflepuff leading by 10 points. It was Jake's turn to catch the golden snitch, which would grant them the house cup. As the Slytherin's seeker was approaching the snitch, he quickly passed through him and caught the snitch. Loud cheers from the Hufflepuff stands erupted as Madam Hooch announced the Hufflepuff team's victory.

As he looked through the stands, he saw Yn with the widest smile on her face. He quickly made his way towards her and went down to her stand. "Congratulations, My Captain; I'm proud of you," she said as she gave him a kiss in front of everyone. The Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw students cheered loudly as you two shared an intimate moment. "I would not have done it without my lucky charm, aka you," he said while hugging her tightly by the waist.

As they returned to the hall, he stopped in his tracks and made her face him as she tried to read his expression. "You wanna know what I smelled when we made the Amortentia?," he finally spoke as he continued, "I smell your vanilla and strawberry perfume, which you've been using since our first year," as she smiled while looking at him. She held his face and smothered it with kisses.

"I love you, My Captain," she said while looking at him. She quietly sneaked him to the Ravenclaw's common room, where she quickly pulled him towards her room. They lay down on her bed, and he snaked his arms around her waist while nuzzling into her neck, which smells like her perfume. The two dozed off into dreamland while holding each other. The captain with his lucky charm.
