[Kim Yoo-Jung & Park Bo-Gum | Moonlight Couple|]

It's been awhile since I logged in on this forum. Hello everyone! It's great to see that the forum has come more alive as a new activity of the four main protagonists emerge online particularly directed towards Love in the Moonlight or Moonlight Drawn by Clouds..BoYoo shippers hearts come aflutter again upon seeing the video and pics.. I am glad they did this to enliven all fans of this beautiful drama. Regards to @Kissy13 (I see her on twitter;very active indeed!) and to everyone here. Back to lurking mode again... Have a great day to all! 

[Kim Yoo-Jung & Park Bo-Gum | Moonlight Couple|]

Hello all...

I miss all of u, do u miss me???

unnie @louise31 how are u?

I miss this thread much, but poor me. I'm still sick here.

Well it seems I've the same issue with Yoojungie. I'm still recovering now.

btw, I wanna give the roll call as usual (please PM me for new shippers if u don't get in the list below

Sorry for cutting your post dear @4nnlov3pink.. so that's why you're all so quiet the past few days..I began to to notice it when there were no daily roll calls from you since I became accustomed to it. Those roll calls are happiness pills for me as a smile emanates from me whenever I see a notification coming from you. I always feel like I'm standing in allegiance to this cause (Boyoo ship) like standing in allegiance when I hear my national anthem.Hope you're feeling better now. Get well soon!

 

[Kim Yoo-Jung & Park Bo-Gum | Moonlight Couple|]

In my weakest moment I felt so helpless for them(for how many days now..that's why I chose to lurk and read..and imbibe every news about them) I was both elated for their continuous success in their careers and was totally bummed when negative write ups/comments and reactions come up most especially against Yoo Jung..I wanted to react violently but reason came to me because regardless of what these evil forces are doing, I cannot give up the peace in my heart and the message that it is whispering through it..that something good will come out of this and that everything will be alright soon. As I was reading every entry here, I felt so much concern for Yoo Jung daily in as much that I would like to forget it (since I was also busy with the Christmas holiday rush) but since she has become like family to me, I just cannot ignore it. I feel so much for her..I do feel for Bo Gum too. I can just imagine how both are feeling right now. I am just lifting them up to God as I pray that everything will be in its right place soon. I have prayed so much for their good health and praying harder for their safety both physical and emotional. And thus, through prayer I become more hopeful and stronger for them especially now that Yoo Jung is in the hospital again. I posted a tweet for her a few hours ago..that she feels better soon. I guess, it is the unwavering support of family, friends,and those who love her that will help her achieve her strength back especially in this most challenging time. Let's unite and build a fortress of love for Yoo Jung and more so, for Bo Gum. Let's help them regain the pieces of the lost happiness that these heartless people begun to chip away from them for days and months now. Let courage and bravery surfaced!

With all my love for BoYoo! With all my love for all genuine shippers and for those who love them unconditionally.

Oh yes! before I even forget, a big big thanks to our resident romantic novelist @thesecretgarden because you helped my temper simmer down yesterday when my sched at the parlor was not followed. Your post came at the right time. Before, I came across it, my patience was dwindling and I was ready to complain to my hairstylist because she started doing my hair 30 minutes after my real appointment.. how can you not get exasperated? Good thing I opened my phone, went into safari, and logged in to our forum and voila! there it was..the grimace that was transfixed on my face for thirty minutes was replaced by a smile and a quiet giddy giggle (and of course a beating heart that's ready to burst with so much excitement)..I tried hard to cover up my sudden smiling face but it was too obvious a change because I was facing too many mirrors.. Appreciate it very much dear shipmate..I would have surrendered to my caveman instincts if not for your post. and yup! I went home satisfied because I got the right hair color and highlights and still in good relationship with my hairstylist. All the more, I realized, there's no place for a diva attitude anywhere in this world. Patience is a virtue.. Looking forward to your next post my angel in disguise!

@cici1 So love your in-depth analysis of one of the most beautiful and tender kissing scenes I've seen in the whole of planet earth...actually, I can read that over and over again..

Dear shipmate, you are never alone..I bet all shippers here can't help but be affected(in million ways than one) by this particular kissing scene. I felt that the shipping intensified when this momentous instance was captured in different angles for all of us to see. I guess, I do not think perversion has entered the realm of our shipping hearts. It only shows how deep the degree of our belief in BoYoo is. I guess, the better word for those of us (bet, all shippers at that) who are regaled or captivated by every show of affection (even how short and fleeting, kissing scenes or not) onscreen and all the more, in their BTS can be branded more aptly as romantics. As human beings, we are governed by the idea of falling in love because the reality is, we are made because of it. We identify ourselves through every bit and piece of what love represents (strong emotions most especially..love heads the list)..What is more profound is that, as we delve deeper in our involvement in our OTP, we become more attuned to them that we easily catch or detect a brewing love story(progressing in subtle speed) even though we are million miles away...and yes!..we even mirror (share) what they feel..(I don't think it is even our imagination) because their actions feed us. More so, I have such great respect in them that what they show us is genuine and true. I refuse to accept that delusion has become a major factor because we all still stand within the usual boundary of what is true and believable with possibilities too numerous because for the most part that nothing tangible (like romantic involvements to others which is a major obstacle) could hamper a purported (let's call it that at the moment although, we shippers believe there's more than that that meets the eye) relationship. As we all know, both are free birds (although careers are prioritized, having a special place in each other's hearts cannot simply be overshadowed).  

So let the shipping continue.. let the giddiness intensify.. And yes! we just love to fall in love.. and our OTP represents it. Let no doubt enter because once it enters,shipping becomes futile.

Ahh..BoYoo..look at what you've done to our hearts..  

Have a great day hardcore BoYoo shipmates!

Let's not be too worried about the Yahoo Buzz Award (and the alleged fanwar, which I doubt is that serious and most likely to be some trolls who aren't real fans of either one of them), everyone is free to choose who they want to support  Here's my two cents, I believe a lot of the BoYoo shippers are more inclined to vote for our doll because actors' fanbases are understandably much larger and more dedicated when it comes to voting matters (look at how BG managed to go all the way up to 1st place from 7th place, his fans are really amazing ). Moreover, it was kinda unexpected that our girl managed to be on top 2, so I think everyone would want to see our girl get some of the recognition she deserves after the success of MDBC.  Definitely doesn't mean that BoYoo shippers are not that supportive of Bogum. 

However, I do agree with @airasara on the notion of voicing out our personal preferences in each of their respective threads to avoid misunderstanding.  

On the other hand, everyone do remember to support BoYoo for the KBS Drama Awards  Each person can only give 1 vote in any of the categories, so both Bogum and Yoojung do need our support. 

Very well said.. @shisuisen and I also agree with @airasara.. 

[Kim Yoo-Jung & Park Bo-Gum | Moonlight Couple|]

Lotsa virtual hugs to our resident roll caller @4nnlov3pink I know how it feels to lose a mother.. I too miss her everyday... Really hard wthout her..May you be comforted knowing that she loves you always and that you have become a source of strength in this ship. I bet your mom is just so proud. 

And yes! I greatly appreciate your total dedication to our ship. I actually look forward to your roll call everyday.  

Here's wishing you a wonderful day and the greatest belief that you will hurdle your final exams with flying colors. And oh! I bet you are 101% inspired by BoYoo that even the colors that represent them conspire to bring freshness of mind on those particular exams days.

More blessings to you and to all BoYoo believers!

[Kim Yoo-Jung & Park Bo-Gum | Moonlight Couple|]

@b3ll4dy that post about our BoYoo's lips just sealed my day and has warmed this shipper's heart to a tee. Thank you for that informative post.  

Now, I got curious about what my lips look like too... Cringing...forgive me..

@Kissy13 Aaawwwww... Miss them so much too sistah'... I'm sure you and all other genuine shippers know how hard it is that you have to get through each day, wishin'...prayin'...longing for any boyoo moments... Good thing though we have this thread and our shipper friends are here to stay... So, for Yoo Jung-ah and Bo Gum-ah.... Surprise us!... hehehe...

I feel you shipmates. @Kissy13 @louise31

The yearning for BoYoo moments is almost unbearable..  The enormity of my longing is as deep as the Mariana Trench but as one song put it,  I get by with a little help from my friends.. Every visit in this thread just helps me bear it. With genuine shipmates who never get tired of posting BoYoo pics, vids, and gifs and articles that support proofs that love is in the air, I am able to live through day to day( a process I've learned through my own life  experiences)..It is a hard pill to swallow because in my younger years I have always been like the marshmallow kid who can't tolerate delayed gratification. But as years packed this hopeless romantic's life, I thought I learn something new. Since shipping this two is for the long haul, I might as well apply living in the present moment and maintain positivity( although in my younger years, I have allowed negativity to lurk in my life for the longest time).. Yeah right gabaneme.. It's easier said than done.. My caveman thoughts said that..but I have to face reality even in its most challenging form as our BoYoo go through their usual lives as well. But oh man.. It is tedious..it is going to be a hard wait...deepest sigh..just look at the bright side gabaneme.. Both of them have been basking in their popularity and I have the strongest belief that their connection will never falter( that's the spirit!)

Hang in there fellow shipmates! With all my love! Talk to you later!

He sung the song wholeheartedly.. it was so heartfelt that his voice cracked not because his voice is not good(Hey! he has a very good singing voice!) but because the song means so much to him.(we all,one time in our lives, have sung songs that had special meanings..which made us cry, caused us to choke up, and with voice cracking up.. it's the same thing with him) And yes..I guess, a very strong emotion has something to do with it. I bet it's love coupled with gratitude..Love for his fans who have been overwhelmingly supporting him and love for the very special people in his life (but of course, I would like to think Yoo Jung is one of them..and can I add that he might be missing her a lot? There goes my shipping heart again.....hopeless romantic mode activated.).. 

Thanks for posting this here @Lê Thúy !! This is the one that I've been waiting for since I learned he'll sing the song(My Person).

BoYoo forever!

It's raining in my side of the woods with winds that almost dilapidated my Christmas decors outside our house but it seems sunny and bright because of this ship...

My day is now complete!

[Kim Yoo-Jung & Park Bo-Gum | Moonlight Couple|]

Just passing by to say hi and hope you all have a great day!

Lurking here has been very therapeutic to me since I couldn't contribute much (tech challenged). Been missing Bo Gum and Yoo Jung so aside from the usual binge watching (Love in the Moonlight or Moonlight Drawn by Clouds), you tube visits, and snooping at twitter and facebook on the side, this thread has been my constant companion just to ease the feeling. Thank you again to all those who have been contributing painstakingly to this shipping thread (night and day,day in and day out). I am greatly indebted. 

Here's a toast to celebrate this mighty ship!

WoW! I really enjoyed reading all your analysis and discovery of new inputs for uri couple... Undeniably, these two are just so happy around each other’s presence. While, I was browsing the net these past few days I encountered this Power Couple's Love Story (I don’t know if this has been posted it here before) and there are amazingly similarities of their story to uri BoYoo couple. It took them 16 years to realize that they were meant for each other, although I really do hope that we won't have to wait that long though for our couple (I don’t mind either to wait that long too)...hehehe... Like I always hope for, no matter where their future lives may lead them, I firmly believe that their paths will always cross each others'...

This is the story of  Milena Markovna Kunis and  Christopher Ashton Kutcher...

Back in 1998, Kutcher, then 20 and Kunis, 14 going on 15 both landed a role in "That '70s Show,". At that time, Kutcher was in a relationship with another actress January Jones, but working together definitely helped Kutcher and Kunis bond. In an interview at People's Magazine in 2001 Kunis said that Kutcher was her first kiss and she was really nervous and uncomfortable while Kutcher on the other hand insisted that he was the nervous wreck, that she acted so cool, she seemed as if she'd done it a thousand times, and the actor continued that he was the one with the butterflies in his stomach, stating "here's this little girl, and I have to kiss her", it was nerve-racking.

As "That 70's Show" airs its last episode way back 2006, Kutcher and Kunis moved on personally and professionally after the show but they apparently forged an enduring friendship. Mila says they stayed in touch via AOL Instant Messenger but still didn't get involved romantically.  

Kunis was in a long-term relationship with Macaulay Culkin in 2002, which lasted for eight years (2010).  Kutcher had different affairs but later on had fallen for Demi Moore, nearly 16 years his senior and wed in 2005.  In 2011 Demi Moore decided to end her six-year marriage to Ashton. 

On April 2012, following Ashton's separation from Moore, Kutcher and Kunis began spending a large amount of time together. They were seen dining out and going furniture shopping, and they reportedly went on a weekend trip. A "Kutcher source" wasn't surprised by the turn of events, telling People magazine that while nothing happened during "That '70s Show," Kutcher "was always talking about how beautiful she is but she was with Macaulay (Culkin) for a lot of that time and also just generally gave off a not interested vibe."

This was later on confirmed by Mila herself saying back then she didn’t think of her future husband in a romantic way, even though he was always a total hottie! On 2013, Kutcher told Elle Magazine that he learned that there are a lot of things in his life that really benefit from being private. And relationships are one of them and he is going to do everything in his power to have his relationship remain private. 

Fate had other plans for them indeed, the two became more and more serious, eventually bringing home their first child in October 2014, Wyatt Isabelle, tying the knot in July 2015, and announced last June 2016 they were expecting their second child. Their story greatly describe the definition of destiny.  Although I maybe  greedy to wish that BG and YJ should be for each other only for the rest of their lives but life as we know it, is beyond our control. Definitely, these two will always go back to where they truly belong and that is on each others arms.

 Similarities:
1. Almost same age difference – Boyoo – 6 years
                                                           Mila & Ashton – 5 years

2. Height Difference - (not exactly in numbers but the little girl-tall guy couple type)

3. Stayed in touch and “remained friends” as what they claimed.
3. YJ & Mila – didn’t look at them (BG & Ashton) in a romantic way at first, although they acknowledge they were good looking and a total hottie, respectively.
4. BG & Ashton – always compliments them (YJ & Mila) as pretty/beautiful.

Difference:
1. As of the moment BG & YJ are single.
2.  There’s no “Macaulay Culkin” on YJ’s life as of today, therefore nothing/no one can prevent BG to pursue her.
3. YJ does not give off a not interested vibe. (Hellerrrr???...Look at how radiant and blooming she is the most, whenever BG is around and my delulu brain tells me otherwise based on the look/gaze she gave to BG)
 

Gonna vote for The Yahoo Buzz Awards too... I love you BG but my baby Yoo Jung gotta win this one though...

Have a Great Night/Day Shippers!...

I find this post a very hopeful one.. the type that would make a hopeless romantic (like me) travel a million miles more..to continue believing.. with great faith..Thanks! @louise31 Such post help me thrive in my belief in our lovable OTP..

Bo Gum and Yoo Jung, we'll travel the road with you(or shall I say, sail the seven seas with you!) through the ninja tricks and through James Bond moves and yes! the use of a la Jack Sparrow wit without force unless when the need arises...we will be there (to support and protect!)..or through Shakespearean type adventures or Elizabeth Barrett Browning musings or the type that my talented shipmates make (I have added your materials in my personal favorite reads list because they just make my day..) or even through the contemplations of Bo Gum and Yoo Jung themselves in their social media accounts.. Ahh..that's why I look forward to coming here everyday. Because I am never alone.. We find so much ripeness in their future together; that they are here to stay..

And yes! that's why I believe.

BoYoo, to infinity and beyond .. 

Never alone..we are all in this together! Sail on shipmates!

Yes, it's a BTS still. This photo indeed speaks a thousand words! They both looked very comfortable with each other, their body language is so natural. I love how BoGum placed his entire palm of hand and arm over half of YooJung's head. This is exactly the same gesture he made toward her during the dump pit BTS, which we only get to see later on. I don't know what he behave off screen in previous dramas --and frankly I don't care-- but the way he held her head in this particular BTS still screamed A F F E C T I O N ! 

What I like the most is because this photo was posted by one of MDBC's core staff on his IG. This guy is the one who met with DongYeon around the same time as the F4's mini reunion. This guy was seen in many BTSs standing very close to BG-YJ, quite often with big smile or knowing look on his face   He, and rest of the shooting's core staff, must have witnessed the little seed of affection that grew and blossomed between the main leads  

 

 

one of my favorite BTS pics that speaks a thousand words..Thanks again for posting this

and long rant from me....

2 BoYoo Shippers: IN SHIPPING we've to prepare our heart & mind but then the best thing is always keeping in POSITIVE MIND. Everyone have their own opinion and they're free 2 share it here BUT hey this is BoYoo Couple Thread, the red thread all posts here are related 2 SHIPPING BOYOO COUPLE. So we're right to offend all posts who make US DOWN in this ship.

2 all shippers who said they want 2 think logic : In shipping U CAN'T HELP BUT become DELULU or IMAGINE ANY related 2 ur COUPLE u SHIP. So this is LOGIC ACT if there'll be any OBJECTION even HARSH COMMENTS 2 all those SENSITIVE POSTS that make SHIPPERS FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE. And also please re-read ur comments b4 post it here, ur post have 2 related to SHIPPING BOYOO COUPLE not SINKING BOYOO COUPLE SHIP. Thanks (sorry if I'm  so harsh here )

2 non shippers who stalk/even post here: We, BoYoo Shippers here OPEN 2 all opinions related 2 our ship. But Well this is BOYOO COUPLE THREAD, of course what u will find all related SHIPPING THEM. So GET USED 2 that, then don't TROUBLE urself by posting NOT SHIPPING them. We got MODERATOR PERMISSION as our BACK UP here in SOOMPI. Got it 

I super love this @4nnlov3pink ! I thank you for this post. I have written two insights that could have supported this post but to my chagrin,both got reloaded without me being able to save them. So I might as well settle for this short message. I support your post very much. This is a great reminder for all shippers(non shippers as well).

I'm so overly amped up to see them together in Hongkong! This ship is very blessed. Really so ecstatic about this latest turn of events for our OTP. Curious though if they will even have time to visit Disneyland there.. Or is it even their cup of tea to visit this branch of the happiest place on earth? Hope they could squeeze an hour or two in their sched to enjoy a few rides there together.

Hi guys! I've been lurking in this thread since a while back but only decided to join now. I hope you guys don't mind adding me into your circle 

Even though I initially watched mdbc promising myself that I wouldn't ship BG with YJ (since YJ is still a minor), as an audience, I - and I'm sure the rest of you too - have watched how their relationship progressed throughout these past five to six months. I believe in fate and true love (a certified hopeless romantic that I am), so when I found out that YJ actually walked in front of BG at SIA 2016 BEFORE it was decided that YJ will play the leading lady in mdbc, I thought to myself, "Ah, this must be fate. This must be destiny. Such coincidence couldn't have happened without it meaning something." 

The two of them are such wonderful and lovely individuals - and together, they bring forth magic and happiness to the people around them, including us. YJ is indeed very mature for her age, she is an old soul I suppose. But so is BG. I've read about how he lost his mother when he was young and the difficulties that he had to face and endure before he got to where he is now, so I truly admire them both, not just for their acting, but also because of who they are as people. 

BoYoo, I think, is a ship that I jumped into not just because of their chemistry (although we can't deny that it is so palpable and off-the-charts both ON-SCREEN and OFF-SCREEN), but it's also because watching the two of them is like reliving the memory of your first love. That warm feeling fluttering in your chest, the shy smiles and lingering gazes, how they can't help but laugh in each other's presence, the way they tease each other - look after each other, even unconsciously - all of those speak volumes about how much they care for each other, how important they are to each other.

I would like to think that they are attracted to each other, not just physically, but emotionally too. They've been through tough situations together after all - so they must have bonded through the late-night shootings, the summer heat and chilly fall nights, and all of this ultimately leads to the beautiful relationship that they have right now. They trust each other. They rely on each other. They encourage each other. They help each other to become stronger (and to become better people). They help each other to shine. And they cherish each other. 

How can you not see the sweetness in Bogum's eyes as he looks (*cough*gazesfondly*cough*) at Yoojung? How can you not acknowledge the change in Yoojung's demeanour (from a cool, sweet tomboy to a mature, yet shy lady) when she interacts with Bogum? How can you ignore the fact that the two of them are basically in their own little world when they are together? 

Of course, as outsiders, we can never be sure when our OTP display affection for each other behind the scene, as in whether or not they're real, because some dramas did go as far as scripting their leading actors' BTS interaction in order to promote their show, and sometimes when you ship two people together, you can't help but think that what you see is true. That it's reality. You want to believe that 'they' is true, and before you know it, you end up believing that it's true. We can't help but construct our own reality because our belief is undoubtedly affected by our perception. That's why I think when 'shipping', we as shippers also need to be considerate of other shippers as well, no matter how contradicting or different their views from us might be. But at the same time, I also think it's reasonable for us to over-analyze and go crazy over the smallest things that BG or YJ does, because we are their shippers (err, well - submariners due to how fast this ship has been going recently haha). That's what we do. Our 'job' is to basically keep this ship sailing until it is confirmed otherwise. Most importantly, though, I think this thread is a place to spread love and happiness. You guys have given me so much joy and helped me through some of my worst days just from posting about your 'delulu' - not to mention the thorough analysis that some of you made on their interaction (and kiss, gosh, that close-up kiss gif almost gave me a heart attack!) and they never failed to bring a smile to my face (and made me squeal like a little girl and giggled in the corner like a mad man). 

Anyways, heh. Sorry for the long post. I tend to ramble a lot and I guess being a silent lurker made me accumulate too many thoughts and pent-up emotions, lol. But I can't express my love for these two amazing individuals enough. I will forever support them and wish them all the happiness in the world!

Looking forward to continue shipping these two puppies with you guys! 

P.S.: I found some old drabbles in my notebook as I wrote a fanfic about these two puppies on my way home in the bus. I'll put it under spoiler because otherwise this post will seriously be too long, haha.

Prompt: BoYoo ABC Drabbles

A. Apples

"Omo, that's so awesome! How did you do that, Yoojung-ah?"

Bogum swivels his head at the sound of the voice and blinks, eyes turning into saucers as he looks at the cleanly split apples in his co-star's hands. She directs her gaze at him and his heart unconsciously gives a small squeeze at the adorable sight of her smiling bashfully at him and looking somewhat proud of her achievement. Before he even realizes it himself, he is already crossing the set in three large strides and stops in front of her, a sweet smile playing on his lips.

"Apples?"

"Bogum-oppa!" She offers one of the pieces that she split earlier and beams at him. "Have some."

"Did you do this," He tilts his head, wonder and amusement colouring his eyes. "with only your hands?" 

"Oh."

Bogum gapes. "How?"

Yoojung giggles conspiratorially before sticking her tongue out. "It's a s-e-c-r-e-t."

The young man makes a disappointed face and sighs in defeat. "Fine. I'll catch you doing it again one day and I will make sure to note down any useful tricks."

Yoojung laughs. "Just kidding, oppa. I can teach you how to do it if you want to. But anyways, you should have some. They're really good." To prove her point, she takes a large bite at the piece in her hand and waves the other at him. Bogum can feel the twitch on his lips as she offers the apple excitedly at him, and really, he should have known better because there are people watching and it's not a polite thing to do and she might be offended later, but instead of taking the (untouched) piece that Yoojung offers at him, his eyes are trained on the smaller piece that's been marked with a small bite and decides to have a taste of that piece instead.

Crunch. 

"Hmmm. You're right." He chews the apple thoroughly, eyes never leaving her face. "It's sweet. Really sweet."

It takes a good three minutes before Yoojung is snapped out of her trance and stammers incoherently, clearing her throat and mumbling a little as she shifts her gaze to the floor. Bogum notices the red that starts to creep from her neck and when he leans down to take a closer look at her face, his heart skips a beat. 

"Apples." He blurts out. 

Yoojung blinks. "Huh?"

Bogum opens his mouth and is about to say something before the director suddenly calls her name and the two of them jolt in surprise. He watches her waving a hand at the director before sneaking a glance at him. He meets her gaze, and she tenses, turning a lovely shade of red all over again, before hurriedly strutting toward the older man. 

He chuckles at her retreating back and smiles to himself.

Your cheeks. They remind me of apples.

R. Realization

It comes to him all of a sudden, like a gentle spring breeze that wakes him up one afternoon.

They are laughing at something, he remembers.

And Yoojung-ie looks beautiful as always.

They are laughing and almost crying and it's usually something that he won't laugh about because it's so silly but he finds himself laughing with her anyway because it's always been so easy to forget about his worries whenever he's with her.

He's still laughing, and she's still laughing, but then she finally opens her eyes to look at him with those big, brown eyes, and he --

He stops laughing and he pauses because it suddenly becomes harder to breathe.

She notices this too, and stops, sending him a worried look. 

"Bogum-oppa?"

And he wonders why the sound of her voice suddenly causes his heart to take on a peculiar thrum, and it is weird because it's getting even harder to breathe. He must be gaping right now, he thinks, but he can't help but to just stare at her -- at the way some of her hair falls into her eyes, and he's thankful that it's never to the point where he can't see those beautiful brown orbs. He stares, and stares, and stares, and she stares back into his eyes, and suddenly he doesn't know what to do -- should he smile? Laugh it off as nothing? Should he act cool? Or should he listen to that treacherous voice at the back of his mind and pull her into his arms because she looks so, so lovely--

"...What's wrong?"

And when her hand touches his, those gentle fingers of hers -- the ones that gripped and clutched at his arms shakily three months ago back when they were filming at the pit; those digits that wrapped around his own ones gently as she sat beside him and listened to him talk about his trouble developing Yeong's character; the same fingers that will curl themselves into a fist and encourage him to stay strong during late-night shootings -- bring forth a set of realizations that Bogum knows will mark the start of a long journey for him.

"Ah."

The corner of his mouth curls up into a small smile.

I see.

"Oppa?"

Since when... 

He chuckles to himself and pokes at her cheek, causing her to pout and look at him suspiciously.

Since when did I fall in love with you, I wonder?

"Oppa, you're acting weird today."

"Am I?"

"Yes, you are."

He grins. "Yoojung-ah."

"Oh?"

"Nothing."

Yoojung blinks, before laughing. "See, you are being weird!"

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

G. Girl

You're like a comfortable friend, Jingoo-oppa says. 

Shouldn't you act more like a girl? Her Eomeoni laughs and shakes her head at her.  

Aren't you eating a little too much, Yoojung-ah? Her sister chides her. 

Yoojung knows she isn't very lady-like and likes to dress down whenever she doesn't have work, and sure she eats a lot and laughs with her mouth wide open and she isn't graceful like Sohyun nor is she a sweet, demure girl like Saeron, but it doesn't mean that she doesn't wish to be treated like one. Deep down she is hoping that someday, she would find someone who can see her as a proper girl, to accept her for who she is - uncouth or not.

And then she meets him.

Bogum-oppa.

"You have dirt on your cheek," he intones gently as he wipes the stain on her face with a handkerchief. They were shooting a scene from episode two when she accidentally fell down in the midst of running after those chickens. "Are you okay? Did you hurt yourself?"

She flinches away from his touch at first, but he looks so genuinely worried and sincere and she feels an unfamiliar but not unwelcoming sensation of something warm fluttering in her chest.

.

"Yoojung-ah, aaaaaah." He offers a spoonful of rice at her, smiling gently and eyes closed in crescents. She blinks at him to see if he's being serious, because they are not in the middle of filming right now and didn't he just see her bulldozing her lunch less than thirty minutes ago like a glutton?

"...Oppa?"

"You don't want it?" He sounds so dejected - and she almost (almost!) replies to him in a tone that will sound a tad too defensive, because who in their right mind would refuse a spoonful of steaming, fluffy white rice when it's being offered to them? At least, not Yoojung. She has only had meat for lunch and to her, that is not what a proper meal is. Yoojung loves rice as much as she does meat. And she has a feeling Bogum knows it too.

"...I do, but--"

"Okay, then aaaaaaah." 

Yoojung relents and slowly opens her mouth. The taste of white rice combined with kimchi and stir-fry squid causes her to close her eyes in bliss. 

"...Cute."

Yoojung blinks her eyes open at the remark.

She stares at him.

Bogum stares back, still smiling. "Is it good?"

Yoojung blinks, before nodding and then looking down, ears turning red. 

Bogum chuckles.

.

"Are you alright? Do you feel cold?" He places a hand at her arm gently and tilts his head. "Do you want me to get you a towel? Ah, I think you're shivering a little. Should I--"

"Hyung," Dongyeon laughs, watching as Bogum frets over her. "It's not like she actually fell into the pond. The staff just gave her wet clothes and dampen her hair a little. And it's in the middle of a very hot afternoon."

Yoojung nods and smiles at him. "That's right, oppa--"

"But still," Bogum accepts the towel from one of the staffs and dabs her cheek with it before gently placing them over her shoulders. He pokes at the tip of her nose and chuckles. "You're a girl, aren't you?"

Ba-thump.

She bites her lips and turns around, heart pounding a loud thump-thump-thump against her ribcage. 

Bogum blinks. "...Yoojung-ah?"

Yoojung pauses and clutches at her chest. 

What is this...?

"What's wrong?"

Yoojung peeks at Bogum from the corner of her eyes, and quickly averts her gaze somewhere else when their eyes meet. 

Ah...

She can feel her face flushing in embarrassment.

I found him.

The person who sees her as a girl.

Him, who sees her and accepts her for who she is.  

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

I. Impure

"Hyung, I'm so impure."

Joongki coughs into his drink and looks at the younger man in bewilderment. "I'm sorry?"

"I..." Bogum rakes a hand into his hair and sighs against the wooden surface as he bumps his forehead onto the table. "I am a very impure person."

Joongki stares at Bogum unsurely, before shifting his gaze toward their sunbae. "Hyung. What is this person talking about?"

Cha Taehyun gives the youngest of the three a knowing look, and smirks. "Ah. I see."

Bogum sighs helplessly while Joongki looks at the two of them back and forth, confusion plastered across his face. "Huh, wait, what. What did you see?"

Taehyun takes a small gulp at his soju and quips cheekily. "Yoojung-ie."

Bogum flinches at the name and peeks from the corner of his eyes, looking like a deer caught in headlights. "...Hyung, how did you know?"

"Yoojung-ie?" Joongki frowns, eyes flickering toward his dongsaeng. He notes the troubled look marring Bogum's face and smirks. Oh. "What about Yoojung-ie?"

Bogum remains oblivious to the fact that the two older men are currently having a blast teasing him. "It's nothing."

Taehyun pats him on the back. "It couldn't have been nothing if you are sighing and moping around like this. Talk to us. Even if we can't help you, talking about it is better than keeping it all to yourself." 

"That's right," Joongki coaxes, nudging him. "You will feel better if you talk about it. Trust me."

Bogum slowly rises from his slouching position, seemingly encouraged by his two sunbaes' words, before he sighs again and leans back against the chair, two hands clenched tightly in his lap.

"...nyo."

The two older men's ears perk when they hear him say something. "Say that again?"

Bogum mumbles. "...Ponyo."

Joongki blinks, and sends Taehyun a confused glance, mouthing, 'Ponyo'?

Taehyun coughs into his hand before starting slowly. "What about Ponyo, Bogum-ah?"

The man in question lets out another long breath but sees the concern painted on his seniors' faces and feels a stab of guilt. He doesn't mean to make them worry. "It's just...Yoojung-ie...Ponyo...band-aid."

"Ponyo..."

"Band-aid?" Joongki finishes, bewildered. "Did she get hurt?"

Bogum shakes his head. "It wasn't her - but she...Dongyeon-ie...I mean, she gave it to him--" He sighs and groans as he looks down at his feet, muttering. "I am so impure."

Joongki and Taehyun look utterly and thoroughly confused.

"So Yoojung-ie gave a Ponyo band-aid to..." Taehyun pauses. "Dongyeon?"

Joongki stares at Bogum. "And...?"

"He cut himself during an action scene. It's just a small cut."

"Uh-huh."

"So she gave it to him."

"Right."

"But it's her favourite band-aid. She never uses it."

"Okay."

"She told me she loves Ponyo too much to use the band-aid. But she gave it to him."

"Um--"

"And it's the last one too."

"Bogum-ah--"

"Hyung...I'm--!" Bogum turns to look at both Joongki and Taehyun and regards them with the most solemn expression on his face. "I am so impure."

The two older men give each other knowing looks even as they try to hold back from guffawing out loud. 

Pfft. Impure?

Who? 

Him?

"I know I shouldn't be thinking of such things, especially since Yoojung-ie only meant well and she was worried about Dongyeon-ie like the kind girl that she is, but ah--Hyung, I really am too impure!"

Taehyun coughs a few times to mask his laughter and Joongki looks like he is trying his best not to break out into small fits and ends up clutching to Taehyun's shoulder for support. 

Unbeknownst to Bogum, the two actors of Blossom Entertainment have the same thought running through their heads at the moment:

Aren't you pure?

U. Umbrella

She has always loved rainy days.

The musky smell of the earth, the cold that seeps through her skin, and the pitter patter against the ground around her are all enough to allow her a moment of reprieve and wash away her sadness. So when they wrap up the shoot early one day and she finds out that her manager-oppa is currently stuck in a traffic (and is not able to pick her up until at least another hour), Yoojung decides to do what she loves the most after a tiring day: basking in the rain.

She stealthily escapes from the crowd of staffs who are currently busy packing up their equipments and finds a secluded place near their filming site. She smiles to herself and steps into the rain, closing her eyes and surrendering herself to the cold.

This feels nice, she thinks. Though her manager will probably end up scolding her later on their way back home. 

She stretches her arms above her head, before letting them fall limply beside her and sighs in contentment.

"What are you doing?"

Yoojung suddenly can no longer feel the coldness of the rain and flutter her eyes open, meeting a pair of concerned brown eyes.

She sucks in a breath of surprise (or maybe not) and takes a brief glimpse at the blue umbrella above her head.

"What were you doing?" Bogum repeats his question, reaching out his hand to stroke her cheek gently. She closes her eyes at the warmth emanating from his skin before smiling and opening her eyes. 

"Enjoying the rain."

A sliver of something unrecognizable passes through his eyes -- surprise? sadness? understanding? Yoojung wonders -- but then Bogum stays silent and he smiles back at her. Yoojung can feel her heart beating faster. 

He understands.

"I love the rain too, you know."

Yoojung hums and tangles her fingers together. Bogum smiles even wider at her small action. He knows she does this whenever she's nervous.

"Okay then, just this once."

Bogum lets the umbrella to fall from his grasp and Yoojung looks at him in surprise, laughing. "Oppa?"

He grins. "I thought you wanted to enjoy the rain?"

"Yes, but I don't want you to catch a cold." Yoojung folds her arms across her chest. "I'm a tough girl so I will be fine. But oppa, you haven't had proper sleep these days so your immune system must be weak right now."

Bogum, however, doesn't waver. "I won't get sick."

Yoojung squints her eyes at him. "You won't?"

"I won't." He repeats, then smiles. "And you won't either."

Yoojung gives a small laugh and shifts her gaze to the front, a comfortable silence falling upon them. 

"Yoojung-ah."

She glances at him. "Hmm?"

"Next time, if you're planning on doing this again..."

"If I'm planning on doing this again...?"

He pokes at her cheek. "Tell me. I will stay with you in the rain."

"You will?"

"Oh."

"But...what if you're busy?"

"I will still make time for you."

"Even if it's one in the morning?"

"Even if it's one in the morning."

"Really?"

"Oh."

Bogum then offers his pinky at her, and Yoojung tries to stop herself from smiling like a fool, tangling her own one with his. 

"It's a promise, then." He smiles at her again -- bright, honest, and unadulterated -- and this time, she can't help but smile back.

"A promise."

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

N. Nice

He's a nice person.

He has always been a nice person, and he's just a really nice person, she chants dutifully. 

So Yoojung thinks she shouldn't take it too seriously whenever he does certain things for (to) her, even if sometimes those things cause her heart to beat faster and make her breaths feel shorter. 

Bogum-oppa is a nice person, and that's why he takes her hand into his and wraps his arms around her even when they're not in the middle of shooting because he knows that she gets cold really easily. 

Bogum-oppa is a nice person, and that's why he gives her a necklace and a card with an odd-looking creature that somehow resembles Ponyo on her birthday. 

Bogum-oppa is a nice person, and that's why he offers to massage her arms and fingers when he catches her yawning loudly, even when she knows that he's tired himself. 

Bogum-oppa is just a really, really nice person, and that's why one day when she can't find her stylist-unnie anywhere, he offers to fix her hair for her -- combing through them gently and tying them into a neat braid like a pro. 

He excuses himself afterward to talk with the director, but then Yoojung catches the look of surprise in Bogum-oppa's manager's face and she wonders why. 

"Yoojung-ah...did Bogum really just braid your hair for you?"

Yoojung blinks, absent-mindedly touching her now braided hair, before her lips curl slightly upward into a shy smile. "Yes."

"...Oh."

The girl tilts her head, confused as to why he looks so dazed. "Is there something wrong?"

"Bogum really did that for you?"

Yoojung knits her brows. "Ne..." She bites her lips. "I mean, it's nothing new. Bogum-oppa is a really, really nice person after all--"

"Ani," his manager swallows, staring at Yoojung as if he's just seen her in a new light, and says softly. "But you're different, Yoojung-ah."

Yoojung pauses, blinking owlishly. "...Ne?"

He mentioned it to me before, you know. His manager thinks inside. That he's only ever going to touch the hair of three women in his whole entire life.

His charge's younger co-star continues to give him an inquiring look and he smiles like a proud father.  

His late mother, his older sister, and the girl he loves.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

H. Hug

"Coooooooold."

Bogum turns to look at the younger girl and frowns. "Are you alright? Do you want me to grab you more hand warmers?"

Yoojung shakes her head before smiling sheepishly. "It's fine, oppa. We're about to shoot the next scene in five minutes anyways. I can handle this."

"But--"

The girl pumps a fist and gives him a reassuring grin. "I told you before that I'm a tough girl, didn't I?"

"But--"

"Really, I'm fine, oppa." 

His heart gives a small clench at the sight of her puppy-dog eyes and Bogum can't help but surrender to her persuasion. He then sighs wordlessly, pouting a little. "Yoojung-ah."

"Hmm?"

Bogum looks at their surrounding and is relieved to see that most of the staffs are either still in the midst of preparing for the next scene, or busy talking with the director about the sudden change of the last filming place. 

"Can you give me your hand?"

"My hand?"

Bogum nods and Yoojung innocently offers her hand to him.

He then quirks a smile at her, before circling his fingers around her wrist and pulls her closer, causing Yoojung to tumble into his arms with a small 'oomph'. 

She freezes a little in his arms, before clearing her throat and peers at him through her lashes. "Oppa?"

Bogum can feel his cheeks reddening. Even he is surprised at his own impulsiveness. "Hmm?"

Yoojung hears the pounding of his heart and feels something churning in the pit of her stomach. "I...ani da."

"...Are you still cold?" He inquires softly. 

Yoojung shakes her head and grips at the fabric of his clothes tighter. She can still hear the loud beating of his heart (or maybe that's hers - because that thump, thump, thump against her ear sounds almost identical to the thump, thump, thump of her heart beating faster), and when her eyes catch the sight of their fingers that are still interlocked together, she has this sudden urge of never wanting to let them (him) go. 

"Do you want me to let go?"

Yoojung pauses.

She pulls away slightly, and lifts her gaze to meet his. 

Nervous, hopeful, and reluctant.

Three such contradicting emotions.

Bogum-oppa always has such transparent and beautiful eyes, and Yoojung secretly wonders if he is as nervous as she is at the moment, or that he's as hopeful about her answer, and reluctant to let their hands untangle from each other just like she does.

"...No." She finally answers. 

His face then breaks into a smile -- maybe something she finds even more beautiful than his eyes -- and Yoojung knows she's smiling shamelessly but finding herself not caring about it.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

X. XVIII

Sometimes, it's easy to forget that she's only eighteen, he thinks.

"Are you tired, oppa?" She asks him with her brows knitted together (and a part of him is childishly delighted that she cares about him, even if it's something she does more out of kindness than anything), "You did really, really well today."

His breath hitches somewhat and he feels strangely embarrassed because a praise from her means a lot more than any praises anybody could ever give him. He pats on the spot beside him and she settles down with her hands tucked underneath her chin, cheeks red from the cold.

"You did really well too today, Yoojung-ah." 

His heart swells with fondness when he sees her flashing that smile at him -- a small tilt on the corner of her lips; a lovely mix of shyness and delight, and his hand unwittingly twitches, because she is so precious and he knows she reserves that smile only for him. 

"Yoojung-ah."

She tilts her head. "Hm?"

"What do you think it means to be an actor?"

The girl pauses, before bringing her hands close to her mouth. "Hmm. What does it mean to be an actor?"

Bogum nods. "Oh."

Yoojung stares at the scenery in front of her and quirks a small smile. "To live a life full of challenges."

Bogum blinks. That wasn't the answer that he expects to hear from her. 

"Why do you think so?"

She taps a finger on her chin and directs her gaze at him, honest and bright. "Because to be an actor means that you have to be prepared to have your feelings constantly being emptied out, and then filled the next moment. If we don't have a strong enough heart, if we are too scared to have our feelings constantly changing, then that means we are not ready to become one."

Bogum grips his hands tightly. "Changes are scary."

He doesn't even know if he's ready to let go of Lee Yeong yet. 

"Yes. They are. But..." She turns to look at him again, that soft smile still playing on her lips. "Even after being emptied out of our feelings, we will always find a new emotion to fill that void, right? A new encounter -- a new beginning will follow after a parting. And they don't completely disappear from you -- your characters, they will become a part of who you are that you can easily take out anytime you want."

Bogum swallows the lump in his throat and turns to regard her with a matching smile. "And that's what makes being an actor so wonderful?"

She grins. "Ne. Because you're constantly being exposed to new experiences and perspectives. And the challenges are what makes it so interesting, no?"

He laughs. "Oh. You're right. And I guess it's another thing to add to the list of things that I should be thankful about."

She giggles. "You're always so thankful about everything and anything, oppa." She rests her chin on one of her hands and sends him that smile again. "But that's what I like about you the most. Because you never take anything for granted."

He doesn't know what comes over him in that instance, but he reaches out to take one of her hands and envelop them in his. She tenses a bit at first, but he sees the hesitation in her eyes slowly melt into shyness, and his heart feels like it's going to burst from all the happiness. He knows, that no matter how small her hands are, that he could easily envelop them in his; no matter how fragile her shoulders look sometimes, so easily he could engulf her in his arms, Bogum understands that Yoojung is someone whose insides -- whose mind encompasses more wisdom and kindness than most people he has encountered, and she is so painfully endearing to him, because she understands him way more than some people other than his family ever could, and sometimes, when he accidentally lets his emotions get the best of him, it's not hard to forget that she's only eighteen and he's twenty-three and that he needs to wait at least two more years in order to tell her how important she is to him -- how much he loves and treasures her.

He brings her hands close to his mouth and it's his turn to blows puffs of warm air into them, before enclosing them with his own ones.

His lips quirk upward when he sees the lovely tints of crimson painted on her cheeks, and he teases her. "Do you have a fever, Yoojung-ah?"

Yoojung clears her throat and tries to act nonchalant. "Ani. Why?"

Bogum hums. "Then why are your cheeks as red as a tomato?"

He then leans forward to rest his forehead against hers, chuckling again inside when he sees that her face has turned into an even deeper shade of red. "Are you sure you don't have a fever?"

Yoojung sputters incoherently and narrows her eyes when Bogum pulls away to laugh, not even bothering to hide his amusement. 

She glares at him half-heartedly and playfully hits his arm. "Were you teasing me, oppa?"

"I'm sorry," He ruffles her hair affectionately, eyes crinkling at the corner, "I just can't let such a good chance to go to waste, now can I?"

Yoojung pouts. "I'm not a child anymore, you know."

His eyes soften at her words and he brings his hand back to hers, once again letting their digits to tangle together. Yoojung slowly trails her gaze to his face and feels her heart fluttering as he starts to trace soft patterns on her thumb. There's something about the look on his eyes that captivates her at that moment -- something warm, so tender, and heart-wrenchingly loving that it takes everything within her not to break down into a stuttering mess and spills out all of her feelings for him. 

He brushes some stray hair away from her face and remarks in a gentle tone. "Oh. I know."

I know that better than anyone.

And Yoojung finds her heart starting to palpitate one-and-a-half beat faster, and Bogum can't suppress the smile that blooms on his face when he sees that she doesn't seem to have any inclination to let go of his hand either.

And he thinks, maybe -- two more years from now -- he will be able to tell her about his feelings.

And he hopes (dreams, wishes, and prays), that two years from now, he will still be by her side.

P.P.S.: Sorry for the super long post! Will try to be more concise from now on 

I cannot cut this because it is beautifully written @secretgarden. My kind of reading material. Welcome to this thread! Still backreading shipmate. Been reading good reviews of your fanfics from our fellow shippers and can't wait to read it too. Looking forward!
