my you - he remembers you over a song (gn! reader)
warning: sae being down bad
note: i was listening to jungkook and decided to write lol. also i sneaked in rin from this fic i wrote
itoshi sae, japan's boy genius, wandered the vibrant streets of madrid. spain became his second home. he was often told how he would sometimes smell like the spanish spices whenever he visited back japan. the warm sun shone the cobblestone he stepped on as he made his way around the little bustling market. he had nothing better to do so visiting the market helps take his mind off things
the prodigy let his eyes wander around the bright lights and his ears tuned into a familiar tune. why did it sound so… home? snapping out of his thoughts, he looked at his corner left to see a man with a guitar. the street performer was strumming his guitar, singing a melody that tugged sae’s hopeless heart. my you. a song that dearly connected him to his lover
sae didn’t realise when he fell into his own train of thoughts. the memory lane looked so clear to him and he didn’t hesitate to enjoy the times when life was simpler. he recalled the younger versions of him and you. there you were, sitting on his family’s balcony, wrapped around a big sweater and a guitar in your hand. little rin was sitting not to far with his pile of mangas and his girlfriend peeking over his shoulders to see the pages
“sae! you’re back early!”, you cheered waving at the boy who dropped his duffle bag to sit beside you
“yeah”, he replied
“i were just chilling here with my guitar and these two”, you motioned at the duo who seemed absorbed in his own world
“you really do like them”, sae noted
“they reminds me of my own sibling”, you reminisced
“he’s still not well?”, sae asked, referring to your younger brother
“he’s hanging on”
a silent gap came along. you didn’t want to talk about your sick brother or else you’d start tearing up. sae visited him as often as he could to keep the younger boy happy. you were relieved to know that rin took a liking for your younger brother and often asked you to let him go with you. you strummed your guitar to the tune that you listened to by heart. it was your comfort song.
“네 번의 계절 또다시”
sae looked over to you in confusion. you were speaking korean? he knew you were a master in languages but he never got around to ask you about it
“더 짙어지게 또다시”
rin hummed along with it. he too was familiar with this song. his girlfriend was an avid fan of jungkook so he was forced to listen to it. he looked over to his lover and she couldn’t help but giggle before reminding him of her favourite song, euphoria
“내가 미소를 짓는 이유도”
your honey voice made the song even more special. sure he didn’t understand but he presumes the words mean something deep considering your teary eyes. it was almost like the world stopped just for him to listen to you
“이 노랠 부를 수 있는 것도”
you stopped. you couldn’t continue. sae locked his eyes with you to read your emotions but you seemed to be lost in your thoughts
the older itoshi was brought back to reality after realising he was staring at the street performer for too long. the performer didn’t dare to make eye contact with the player and continue singing away his heart. maybe the face made might have scared him?
sae couldn’t care. his heart was hurting. it was hurting so badly, he could imagine himself crying. he’s homesick. he misses everyone and it hurts. he wants to smell his mothers cooking, see his father read the newspaper, apologise to rin for being a jerk but most importantly, he wants to see you in person.
no amount of facetime can make him feel better. he craves for your physical touches and kisses. sae never imagined himself being so down for you. you may have fallen first but he fell harder. listening to his heart, his hands slowly reach to his phone as he loads the japan airline website
maybe he can tolerate going back to that shitty country he had to call home but he knew where his actual home was. he begins imagining you standing at the airport with open arms for him. he falls weak into your soft hug without bothering to entertain the paparazzi. he just wants you
it seems faith was finally looking good for the pro player as he sees your name flashing on his phone screen. he quickly threw in a few coins to the street performer’s guitar bag, to which the latter tilted his hat in appreciation
“hey, are you busy?”
oh, that voice that made him melt on the spot. he felt his heart easen as he lightly coughed before answering you
“no, i'm just walking around. you?”, he asks
“i just drove rin to his training camp. what was it called, blue lock?”, you tried remembering
“blue lock? never heard of it”, sae sighed
“you sound down… everything okay, prodigy?”, you teased
“shut up- i’m coming home”, sae cut himself off and got to the point
“no way!! that’s great! is it because you miss me so much huh?”, he swears he could see you smirking over the voice call
“my passport expired so i had to come back”, sae groaned at your antics
“i gotta go but i have something to say”, you said
“네 곁이기에 감사해”
huh? he pulled away his phone from his ear to see that you cut the call right after saying that he knew what you said. he already recognised that word. it was so familiar to him now. a ghost smile threatened to break on his face
“i’m thankful to be by your side too.. [name]”
