Jungwon .*

“Romeo and Juliet” .•🪽 _________________ The cast list went up after school, and you didn’t expect it to change anything. You’d auditioned for Juliet in Romeo and Juliet because you loved the romance, the drama, the intensity of it all. Jungwon had been there too, casually mentioning he was going for a small role. Nothing important. So when you found your name next to Juliet, your heart soared—until you read the name beside Romeo. Yang Jungwon. Your best friend. The same Jungwon who stayed late to run lines with you. The same Jungwon who walked you home after rehearsals. The same Jungwon you’d never once allowed yourself to see as anything more. Romeo and Juliet wasn’t just poetic lines and longing glances. It was stolen touches, desperate confessions, and a passionate kiss written right into the script. A kiss you would have to rehearse. A kiss you would have to perform in front of everyone. And suddenly, standing there with the paper trembling slightly in your hands, the story didn’t feel like just a play anymore.
