changmin/yoona
pg.
all yoona wanted to be was perfect. she met perfection. she became perfect.
don't even ask me what this is. it was written in such a short time and it just happened idek. maybe it had to do with that changyoon moment in sm town. kind of sparked up the pairing. as for the idea, it was actually supposed to be for either a jessica story or a krystal story. it could have been onsica or kaistal lol. i just went with yoona though, i don't know why.
she was never like every other child out there. no, definitely not. her responses to questions were always well thought out - like she was an adult. maybe that’s what she wanted to be. or maybe not.
“yoona, what do you want to be when you grow up?”
“perfect.”
at the age of seven, im yoona has already grown into a beautiful young child. all the other parents would be jealous at how elegant looking she turned out to be. there would be compliments thrown to her here and there. she got sick of them. they were all the same.
“you’re so pretty, yoona.”
“who did your hair? it’s absolutely gorgeous.”
all she did with these comments were smile and nod, like she was taught. like how she was taught to be perfect.
sixteen. high school years. everybody wishes it to be perfect. absolutely perfect. and that’s exactly what she wanted it to be well. because the more perfect her life was, the closer she’ll become to perfect as well. maybe that’s why she made the biggest mistake of her life one night, pushing her away from perfection.
“come on yoona. what are you scared? this one night with me, will make you perfect.”
that word brought her over to the dark side and slowly she walked over to the man on the bed and lost what was the most important thing to perfect.
twenty-one. officially legal. drinks, clubs, boys - it’s what she was dragged into by her friends. sooyoung and yuri were already on the dance floor, completely drunk, completely imperfect.
yoona took her phone out of her purse and looked through it, hoping somebody messaged her so she could get out of here as soon as possible. just then, somebody came crashing into her seat and her phone dropped onto the floor.
“oh my goodness, i am so sorry.” she didn’t speak, all she did was shake her head hoping he’d go away. possibly the biggest mistake of her life that day was looking up because she managed to see what perfect was.
he was looking down on her now, both of them only looking at each other. “uh, i could pay for your phone, really. um, the name’s changmin, shim changmin. here’s a business card so you can contact me - although that seems to be kind of hard now because of your phone, right?” he - changmin - scratched his head in embarrassment and a chuckle came out of her mouth.
“it’s quite fine actually. but thank you for worrying changmin-ssi.” she nodded and looked up at him, meeting eyes with perfection.
he smiled and she smiled back. “this may sound weird but, do you think we could meet again?” yoona was surprised at his question but she shyly bit her lip and nodded. “of course.” she waved the business card he handed to her. “i’ll try to contact you some way, i promise.”
changmin nodded. “okay, great. uh, i should go now. my friends are probably wondering where i’ve gone, well, i kind of doubt it actually but i should still go and stop blabbering on like this.” he chuckled and left the seat slowly, not looking away until he was completely out of her sight.
she was still smiling, not ever realizing it until yuri came back to the seat and poked her on the cheek, questioning her on why she was so happy.
“i just met perfection.”
just like she promised, after getting her phone fixed as soon as she could (not like she wanted to talk to him or anything), she contacted him and giggled at the way he picked up.
“h-hello. um, may i ask who this is?” the fact that after meeting him only once and she could imagine him being confused like this was quite amusing. he was cute. really cute. cute people are perfect. meaning he’s perfect.
“it’s yoona. oh wait, you may not even know that because i never told you. we met at the club about a week ago? you broke my phone.” she could sense him being sorry through the phone - is that weird?
it took him a while but he replied. “right, of course! is your phone alright? i’m guessing you got it fixed or something seeing as you called, unless this isn’t your phone number because then i shouldn’t have saved it - uh you know what, i’ll shut up now. thanks for calling back.”
yoona laughed at his jumble of words and how much it made her happy, it made her laugh so much. and it wasn’t fake, no, not at all. this was completely, one hundred percent real laughing. she hasn’t done this in a while.
“this is my phone, i got it fixed. you said you wanted to meet again, right? well, does lunch sound fine to you?” she bit on her lip and tapped her fingers on the table in front of her, hoping he was available. she really had nothing to do and having someone to talk to might be a swell idea for herself.
over the line, she could hear the fumbling of papers and something - or probably someone - bumping into the wall. “of course! lunch sounds great. um, do you know sweet delight? the cafe down memory lane? i work nearby there so it’d be great if we can meet there. o-of course if it doesn’t work for you we can definitely meet somewhere else because, i mean, who really cared about work right now-“
this time, before he could stop himself, yoona had cut him off. “sweet delight it is. i shall be there soon.” she hung up and cuddled onto one of the couch cushions and squealed into it. why was she excited? she’s only met him once and he broke her phone, why was she so interested in him? maybe because he was the closest thing to perfect she could have.
“yoona!” she whipped her head back to see a tall guy running towards the outside table she was waiting in. she smiled and waved, laughing when he almost tripped over his own two feet.
when he managed to sit down safely, no words are exchanged and they did nothing but stare, but that managed to do it because it seemed as they were conversing with each other. seeing him, it just, she couldn’t describe her feelings.
she finally broke the silence though because maybe he was feeling awkward, she would never know. “so, why did you even want to meet me again? were you just sorry that you broke my phone? which i got fixed.” she waved her phone around to show him that it was in nice shape.
changmin smiled and looked right into her eyes. “no, it’s because there was something about you that got me hooked. it wasn’t just your looks either - not saying you’re not pretty or anything but - i don’t really know. you have this aura around you that makes people fall for you and you’re just... perfect.”
she registered that word into her head and repeated it to herself several times. “perfect.... perfect? perfect. me, perfect?” it was the words she’s been waiting to hear practically all her life and she heard it from the one that was the closest to perfection in her dictionary.
“yes, absolutely perfect.”
