but we were something, don’t you think so? roaring 20s, tossing pennies in the pool, and if my wishes came true, it would’ve been you.

⇢ title: the 1.

⇢ pairing: kim taehyung x f!reader

⇢ genre: exes!au, non-idol!au angst, fluff 

⇢ word count: approx. 7.4k

⇢ summary: a return to your hometown also means reminiscing what has been — and even pondering what could have been. but in the middle of your trip down memory lane, who should turn up but the person behind every bittersweet memory?

⇢ warnings: angst!!!, crying, swearing, lots of flashbacks, lots of nostalgia and bittersweet stuff, mentions of pregnancy (not reader!!), like a 0.2 second implication that oc is shorter than taehyung??, i cried writing this (but also i’m an emotional bitch so that might just be a me problem)

⇢ italics mean it’s flashback.

⇢ reblogs, comments and asks mean the absolute world to me. likes are very much appreciated, but a reminder that they’re not as motivating to content creators!!

THE SKY IS cracking open, leaking shades of gentle pink and hues of vivid orange when you step outside and onto your balcony. The soft twitter of a bird accompanies the gentle breeze that tugs at the locks of your hair as you take a small sip from the mug cradled between your hands, surveying the  achingly familiar city around you.

It's been six years, but you're home. 

Returning to your childhood city wasn't an easy choice, but when you'd arrived late last night, memories indwelling every corner your car took, somehow, you knew you'd made the right decision. Funnily enough, it was the fountain in the town centre that really cinched it. A glimpse of it had sent you careering backward into a time when your world was a boxy smile and a deep laugh.

Now, as the sun peeks over the horizon, and your drink is drained, you exhale. Content. You have your own place. You have a steady job, a job you love. You have friends.  You're happy. You're home.

Life is good.

TELL ME THERE IS A PART 2 BECAUSE I NEED, I REPEAT I NEED TO KNOW MORE!!!!! the writing, the little flashback scenes, the sincerity and hurt that taehyung felt, the betrayal and nostalgia the reader feels- I LOVE IT

when I tell you, i sobbed my eyes out with this one. Not to mention my breakup-firstlove playlist was going on in the background ughhhhhh

i really liked this 🫶🏼
