A/N: Happy Sunday everyone! I apologise for delayed updates. My family was hit with COVID recently and then I am still battling the flu. Because of this, I will be finishing this prompt first before I get back to Reader's Choice. I hope you understand but it's difficult for me to keep the consistency and continuity if I jump back and forth on these stories with multiple storylines.
I may have another update tonight so please stay tuned and wish me luck haha!

"Seri?"
Ri Jeong Hyeok stood as soon as he realized who the person ordering him to leave was. He had gazed at that face for years and had recently seen it again up close. Still, he was constantly amazed at how perfect she looked no matter what.
"I, uh, I mean... Good evening, Ms. Yoon," he clarified.

"Hyeoky," she said in a quieter tone this time. "Why... why are you at our bench?"
"I don't recall us owning this," Ri Jeong Hyeok replied.
Yoon Seri's eyes widened. "Yes, we do! Have you forgotten that we marked this?!"
Jeong Hyeok's eyes mirrored hers. Holding his index finger up to his lips, "Shhhhh! That was against the law remember?!"
"Why are you so scared? Lots of kids did it! We didn't kill anyone!" Seri returned, lowering his voice to the volume he was comfortable with.
Their crime: vandalisation.
Of course, as college kids who were vying for the highest honors in school and people who wanted to keep their records clean, even a "minor" crime like that was not welcome. However, when the said bench started to hold a lot of their most special memories, one night they decided to kiss under rain and somehow managed to carve on the bench "RI", which was part of both their names.
"Still! Against. the. law," Jeong Hyeok reiterated. When they caught each other's eyes, Jeong Hyeok found Seri trying to stop herself from giggling, but the crinkles by her eyes were starting to show.
He put up a valiant fight but soon gave in to the laughs bubbling up inside of him. When he laughed, she joined in without reservations.
