“Alright, looks like we’re rolling!” Jungeun giggles slightly, catching her girlfriend staring at her through the viewfinder and playfully pushes her face to where she’s no longer facing her.
The screen glitches then cuts back to the two smiling brightly.
“Anyways, we’re back today with the girlfriend tag! You ready Soul?” She holds an imaginary microphone up to the blonde’s lips.
“As ready as I’ll ever be.”
The two break out into cheers, clapping wildly like a pair of kindergarteners.
Jungeun explains the concept of the video briefly with Jinsoul nodding along, and even pretending to doze off at one point. Then they get into the fan submitted questions.
“Okay, here’s an easy one to start off with, How did you two meet? Ah, you wanna take this one, babe?” Jungeun goofily pokes the girl beside her’s cheek.
“Sure,” Jinsoul readjusts herself in her seat, suddenly a bit camera shy. “Well, uh, we were in high school. I was a junior and you were a little freshie.” Jungeun listens closely and gazes at her lovingly, not taking a word for granted. “Anyways, you and Jiwoo insisted on sitting with my,” Jinsoul hesitates a bit, eyes flickering to the camera, “friend and I, and I, being the kind person I am, decided to take you in and adopt you into my circle.”
Jungeun beams at the girl and nods, now looking for the next question. “I’m so glad Jiwoo forced me to sit with you guys.” Jinsoul proceeded to wrap her arms around the younger girl as she scrolled through the comments.
“Okay, I’ll take this one, Who asked who out?” Jungeun’s eyes turn into crescents as she seems to recall the memory, Jinsoul’s cheeks grow a bit red.
“Of course Jinsoul was the one to ask me out, there’s no way I could’ve done that. Have you guys seen her?” Jungeun pinches Jinsoul’s rosy cheeks cutely. “She’s a goddess. I could never.”
“Aw, hush, baby. Have you seen yourself?! I practically *censor noise* myself while trying to ask you out!” Jungeun visibly melts at the compliment and kisses Jinsoul sweetly.
“Well, I’m glad you did. There’s nobody else I’d rather have than you.”
The camera then cuts to another scene, the couple is now looking at another question on Jungeun’s phone.
~~~
“Okay, final question, Who- Ugh, really guys? Of course, you’d ask this…” Jungeun’s ears turned red at the words on her screen and did her best to scroll away from them.
“Hey, hey wait a second, what did the question ask, huh? We can’t just ignore the fans.” Jinsoul grabbed the phone from her hand, trying to relocate the question that would’ve made her girlfriend become so embarrassed, something that rarely happens on camera.
Jinsoul seemed to have found what she was looking for because her eyebrows raised and she began giggling like a child. Jungeun put her face into her hands and mumbled a plea not to answer it on camera.
“It’s private stuff, Soul…”
“Oh, come on. You’re just embarrassed that you’re a bottom!” Jungeun dramatically gasped and slapped the cackling girl’s shoulder.
“Jinsoul!”
“I’m playing, babe! I’m playing!”
Jungeun pouted and Jinsoul had no choice but to lean in and kiss the pout from her lips. Anyone with eyes could see how quickly Jungeun’s embarrassment fled with the act of affection. In fact, it’s always been obvious to the viewers how happy Jinsoul makes their favorite Youtuber feel. That contagious love and joy is what attracted the majority of their following in the first place. There was something so genuine and alluring about their relationship that no one could get enough of. They were the perfect couple , every hopeless romantic’s relationship goals .
“C’mon, Soul. Let’s answer one last real one.” Jungeun wasn’t going to let her get away with it that easily.
Jinsoul’s eyebrow quirked. “I mean, from my experience, that last answer was very real-“
“Okay, okay!” She rushed to cover Jinsoul’s mouth before she embarrassed her further. “Alright, here’s a sweet one, Who said I love you first?” It was Jinsoul’s turn to answer the final question, and she hummed for a second, gathering her thoughts.
“It was you. We were at my apartment at the time and I…wasn’t feeling well. You were taking care of me, like you always have, and you looked at me,” At this point, Jinsoul seemed completely lost in the memory she was retelling, almost as though she had transported herself back into that very moment. Jungeun watched her with all the love and care one could possibly have. “you looked at me with…a look I’d never gotten before. Even from- Just from anyone, heh. Anyways, it was a look that I can’t explain with words, but I felt so safe and protected.” She paused for a moment, smiling fondly at the memory. “That’s when I realized, I wanted you to look at me, and only me, that way for the rest of our lives. Then to make it better, you said you loved me, and I felt no doubt that I had you. That you were willing to give all of yourself to me, and that…is something I never want to let go of.”
Jinsoul snapped out of her daze and shyly met her girlfriend’s eyes, who looked like she was on the verge of bursting into tears. Jinsoul reached up to cup her cheek lovingly.
“There’s that look.” She said softly, forgetting they were on camera.
Jungeun suddenly sniffled and looked up trying to stop tears from leaving her eyes, letting out a slight giggle.
“Damn, babe. All you had to say was that I was the one who said it first!”
The two laughed and looked lovingly at each other, then Jungeun rose to turn off the camera, the video ending with a black screen that had the words, “sorry guys, we were too busy being IN LOVE to film an outro :] see you next week <3”

A few days later
Jungeun grabs her laptop from the coffee table, she opens up her YouTube page ‘Kim Lip’. She originally started out doing makeup tutorials but eventually transitioned into vlogging and weekly videos of her doing whatever she wants.
She clicks on her most recent video ‘The Girlfriend Tag’.
Jungeun claps excitingly, “Woah, Soulie! This video has 478k likes and it was only posted a few days ago!”
“That’s amazing, babe. You know how much your fans love to see us together.” She comments nonchalantly, resting her head on Jungeun’s shoulder.
Jungeun nods and scrolls even further to monitor the comments, she stops to read the most liked comment. From user: lipsoulalways114 “love u guys so much!! thanks for the video! if y’all ever break up then love isnt real”
Jinsoul chuckles, “You see that, I guess we can’t ever break up.” She leans down to kiss the other girl on the cheek.
“Yeah, I guess we can’t.” Jungeun mumbles half-heartedly. Her phone buzzes.
Text Message from bestfriend ❤️
“hey jungie wanna grab lunch w me tomorrow? me and soo found this nice little cafe that is pretty quiet and i know how much you love coffee”
Jungeun smiles reading the message. Jiwoo always has a way of brightening her mood. It’s like she has a sixth sense for when Jungeun is feeling down.
“Who’s that texting you?” She hears from beside her. The other girl straining her neck to get a peek at Jungeun’s phone.
Jungeun quickly texts back “ok see you tomorrow 👍” before locking her phone.
“It’s just Jiwoo.” Jungeun responds, not even looking at the girl next to her. She already knows what the other girl’s expression will be.
“So secretive.” The other girl grumbles. Jungeun wordlessly grabs her hand and squeezes it, sparing a glance at Jinsoul who is now pouting.
“She just asked me if I was filming today, Soul. Don’t be such a baby.” She leans over and pecks the girl on the lips.
Jinsoul nods, looking satisfied.
