König x Ballet dancer!Reader?
You passed through years of training. Being accepted into one of the famous ballet schools of Vienna was nothing to snooze about - and you were on track to become yet another nameless swan in the second row. With a shelve life of just about 10 years, your life was set to be a parade of mediocrity from the start. Without a rich sponsor to give you connections and without any of your professors looking at you twice, you exited college with a stable job in the background. Sometimes, accepting scraps being thrown at the main dancers, you knew your place - you ached for dance and beauty, and you got it. This is why a bouquet of blood-red roses sitting heavily in your hands still feels like a dream. The man in front of you is not a normal opera guest. His suit is tailored - not for the sake of showing off the price, but because this man is simply too huge for anything made in-store, no matter how expensive the store is. His suit is tailored professionally and yet, he still looks uncomfortable. A mountain of a man confined into the prison of tight fabric - you tilts your head to the side, wondering what is he doing here. He is wearing a black mask, which is normal for many patrons - especially the older ones, still afraid to die after what happened just a few years ago. You can only see his eyes and you're getting lost in the cold. It reminds you of a mountain snow. Of the white fabric of your dress - and suddenly, you almost feel like breaking your perfect posture. You don't look into the viewer's seats while you're dancing, but you can't shake the feeling that you recognize this heavy stare from somewhere. He was following your every movement while you were on the stage, not caring for the beauty of the front dancer and the elegant movements of your peers. You're painfully average in everything - but his attention never fails to get on you. He is giving you gruff, cut-out compliments. Something about your legs, your hips. Something dirty about the way you look in that tight tutu, and you almost gather the strength to slap him, but then he flashes his credit card, and it feels like a ticket out of mediocrity. Always the second last in the deep row, you never had any fans looking at you like this. With this amount of longing, of depravity. You start getting better roles after he started to show up. You're not sure why and how - he has money, that's for certain, but he definitely doesn't seem like the type to have connections in the industry. If you had to guess, you would see him as working in the military - but no one from Austrian army would have as much influence, not in your country. If you had to guess, this guy is dangerous, and you're almost terrified to see the dark red flash of flowers every time you exit backstage and see him. But, oh, he presses you against the walls and kisses you. But, oh, he can lift you up so easily and force you to grind on his knee in search for pleasure - you have stamina, all dancers have it, and he knows he can go for much longer than with a regular girl. Your affection is bought with compliments and euro bills stuck in your leotard like you're a cheap whore, but you almost feel like a French girl while he is holding you like this. He asks you about retirement. Tells you he would build you a dance studio in his house - something big, with space and perfect light. Give you all the attention you need. You almost feel yourself getting lost in his awkwardness. Little did you know he wasn't really asking.

I use Bing to make my pics. Go to Bing’s website, click images, click create. Make an account if you need to, it’s worth it. You can use a throwaway email. Use naturalistic language, separate phrases by commas, the closer to the top a phrase is the more it’s weighted.
I make this post because I get the strong sense the Bing party will be over soon. Every day the AI cottons on to phrases and chokes on things you used to be able to sneak past. Stuff that was safe and useful a day or two ago now result in a dreaded Prompt Blocked (too many of those and you’ll get suspended, it hasn’t happened to me but it seems the threshold is low).
Tumblr media
Safe prompts return four images. Fewer than four mean the missing ones were “not safe.” A prompt that processes but gives no results, or “egg dogs” is not too much of a cause for worry - retool, try again. Sometimes I don’t even change anything, and the one result I get on the second try is such a freakshow that it was worth it.
A prompt that is rejected without processing IS a worry and you should probably abort, as explained. However, keep in mind it’s not just sexy stuff that can trip that wire. I once got a harsh warning because I put “Phoenix park, Dublin.” I deleted that and it ran no problem. Avoid any and all political controversy (sigh. I know).
Recommendations:
Using age, profession, and nationality can influence the look of the model very easily. “French rugby player” is a go to for me, for example. In general, “rugby player” is cheat code for “make him sexy.” The mind of the machine, what can I say.
Use descriptive phrases of action and location to engineer what you want to see. Be creative and be specific. “Reading a placard at a botanical garden,” for instance. It seems this allows more extreme kinky stuff to sneak past the filter. I usually start with “side view” because otherwise you only ever get models looking straight ahead.
Grey sweat pants has become a trigger (they caught on). However, “gray pants” still works and gives some very tasty results.
High social cache locations and activities also seem to help. I got some WILD and EXTREME hyper images from adding “goofing around on stage at Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre.” Paired with “cast as a fairy in A Midsummer Night’s Dream” and the mega bubble butts and thick thighs were BULGING, as long as you didn’t mind a little tutu and fairy wings (the corny goofy masculine dude having fun facial expression that the earlier inclusion of “goofy” brought really worked in this instance). Most of these freaks were NAKED and I didn’t even ask for that!!! (No dong of course, this is Microsoft still)
Tumblr media
Mention of glutes, butts, asses, etc are very dangerous and usually get you in trouble. I found some traction with “gluteal mass” but it got wise, and “bulging lower back muscles” used to be interpreted as glutes but seemingly no longer. “Disturbingly huge hamstrings” or “jaw-droppingly large hamstrings” does work to get That Ass sometimes, I guess because the computer has a fuzzy idea of the posterior chain.
Also, “pecs” used to be safe but is now also on the danger list. “Pectoral muscles” still seems safe, for now.
ALWAYS include shoes or footwear if you don’t want a tight cropped image. Black athletic shoes, sandals, converse sneakers, dress shoes, fluevog shoes if you’re making a fancy beef heap. Avoid boots. “Leather boots” once got me in trouble with the filter all by itself.
Adding a personality or mood descriptor near the top seems to humanize and give vitality to the outcome. Intense, goofy, outgoing, exuberant, shy - these have all done wonderful work for me.
If you’re into hyper / immobile muscle, imagining scenario where they’re constricted by space is useful. A prompt which just (“just”) gives a realistic super heavyweight will give an appalling mockery of the human form if you add “crammed into the front seat of his car.” Get creative. Elevators and doorways haven’t worked well, but cars, trains, planes, busses, subways, and CHAIRS of all descriptions have done well. Also, scooters and bicycles and mopeds really bring out the super freaks for whatever reason.
I write this to encourage you to go create some fleshcrafted sexy abominations of your own while it’s still possible. My sense is this party is only going to last a little while. I’ve already got more than 1000 images to share so, my larder is stocked to supply this blog for a while. But the more freaks we make while the freak factory is still in production, the better.
Get cooking!

The image the west painted about arabs and SWANA ppl centuries ago, how is it still used today, and why is that image harmful to SWANA group
Tumblr media
First of all, what is Orientalism? based on the definition by Edward Said, orientalism is a "created body of theory and practice" which constructs images of the Orient or the East directed toward those in the West.
Representations of the East as exotic, feminine, weak and vulnerable reflect and define how the West views itself as rational, masculine and powerful. These can be seen in paintings as well as media.
The painting were obsessed w the idea of the Harem women, which affected all SWANA ppl, including Persian and Turkish women as well. Stereotypes and orientalist depictions of arabs and SWANA ppl are still used till this day.
Tumblr media
Le Corsaire (1856), takes place in Turkey and focuses on a love story between a pirate and a beautiful slave girl. Scenes include a bazaar where women are sold to men as slaves, and the Pasha's Palace, which features his harem of wives.
Petipa's The Pharaoh's Daughter (1862), an Englishman imagines himself, in an opium-induced dream, as an Egyptian boy who wins the love of the Pharaoh's daughter, Aspicia. Her costume consisted of 'Egyptian' décor on a tutu.
Tumblr media
Fatima (1897) and Fatima’s Dance (1907), which were the very first portrayals of Arab woman as a veiled belly dancer. These sexualized and objectified Arab women.
Tumblr media
Sheherazade (1910), involves a shah's wife and her relations with a Golden Slave. It includes an orgy in an oriental harem. When the shah discovers the actions of his numerous wives and their lovers, he orders the deaths of those involved. Also based on One Thousand & One Nights.
Tumblr media
The sheik (1921), takes place in Algeria, where Lady Diana disguise herself as a dancing girl to become one of the prospective brides, yet is unable to go through with the deception bc the sheik liked her. the sheik later abducts her, intending to make her fall in love with him.
The movie didnt even have the accurate Algerian traditional clothing and Algerians dancing clothes arent the “belly dancing inspired” clothes. The stereotype that a SWANA man would abduct a white women to make her fall inlove w him too…
Lalla Fatma N'Soumer, an Algerian anti-colonial leader during 1849–1857 of the French conquest of Algeria and subsequent Pacification of Algeria. She is an Algerian national hero. The pictures show the Algerian traditional wear, which isnt close to the ones in the movie.
Here is an Algerian woman wearing a Haik, again not dressed as the movie shows.
Tumblr media
Mickey in Arabia (1932) by Disney, taking place in the Arabian Desert, where Mickey and Minnie are exploring the area I assume. Later, Minnie gets kidnapped by a Sultan. Again, portraying men from SWANA or arab men in this case as predatory and barbaric.
Tumblr media
Abdullah the Great aka. Abdullah’s Harem (1955), about an Arab sheikh and a European model. He’s always with the Arab women he bought, along with belly dancers. He still tries to seduce Ronnie. He then attempts to drug her in order to sleep with her, but fails and gets dethroned.
So far all these movies continue to have the same narrative, continue to sexualize Arab and SWANA women, always portraying them as belly dancers and/or harem women. The Arab and SWANA men as barbaric and predatory. Themes that will continue to exist till this day.
Babes in Baghdad (1952) Arabian Nights princess goes on strike demanding equal rights for women, to the frustration of the caliph. Aided by the caliph's godson, she enables the caliph to see the error of his polygamous ways, and he eventually settles down with his wife.
The Queen of Babylon (1954), about a king's concubine that loves a Chaldean rebel in ninth-century B.C. Assyria. I Am Semiramis (1963), in ninth-century B.C. Assyrian Queen Semiramis loves an enslaved Dardanian king. mind u assyrians dont dress like egyptians
Tumblr media
Fast forward to the 90s and early 2000s, the same stereotype surrounding SWANA ppl persisted Aladdin(1992), Aladdin meets Princess Jasmine, daughter of the sultan of Agrabah. They both have to deal with evil sorcerer Jafar from overthrowing Jasmine's kingdom.
Jasmine was sexualized (even tho shes a minor), she seduces Jaffar, and was put in a harem/belly dancer fit. the same portrayal of Arab women. The movie also features harem women. Jaffar w big nose, painting arab men as ugly, sinister and ruled by sexual desires, again.
Braceface (2002), the harem thing again. Totally spice (2002) with harem inspired fits Around the World in Eighty Days (2004) by Disney, Arab sheikh his wives that were objectified through the scenes.
Tumblr media
After 9/11, “Arabs are terrorists” and xenophobic remakes towards arabs increased. Air Marshal (2003), The stone merchant (2006), The kingdom (2007), and many more all portrayed arabs as terrorists. Family guy(?) and shameless (2012, S2) with jokes about k!lling iraqis
Bratz: Desert Jewelz (2012) and Aladdin (2019) had the same orientalist themes as the 1001 Arabian nights (1959) and as well as the older movies.
Today, inaccurate and offensive Arab/SWANA representation is still the same. Arabs are either rich sheikhs, terrorists, or exotic belly dancers. not only that, u rarely see any arab or SWANA actor/actress get good roles, its always reduced to the terrorists role.
Whats mentioned in the thread isnt only harmful to how SWANA ppl are viewed, but how they’re treated as well. In 2002 to 2005, Philippe Servaty engaged in sex with over 80 Moroccan women, promising to take them to Belgium.
He asked them for sexual photos and photographed them in poses that could be seen as degrading. They included ejaculating on the face of a veiled woman and having another woman kneel, bound, and gagged while he urinated on her. After returning to Belgium, he published the photos.
with assyrians and persians ppl still use the same harem belly dancer clothing and its not even accurate. egyptians are always portrayed as belly dancers, also inaccurate.
SWANA ppl are still treated as fictional characters. Dune (2021) uses orientalist themes and is inspired by SWANA cultures. many offensive media made ab arabs, but wont i b able to fit all here. racism/xenophobia against ppl in SWANA didnt start with 9/11 and its not over either.

ok so i got a couple likes and one reblog saying yes so i'll tell you about odette-
so her name is Odette Ilyna (referencing Tchaikovsky's middle name. Suggested by someoen in the comments). She's about 17(how old are the characters in nevermore-)
she's albino with glassy blue eyes and long white eyelashes ( and hair and skin). She usually keeps her long hair in different types of braids. she's pretty much average height but she's really thin.
On the personnality side she's pretty timid. Nobody ever notices she's there, and she does nothing to change that. She's mute, so she talks in sign language (now this is for the french girlies: she's based off the swan lake, and in french, swan is cygne. Sign, in french, is signe, but is pronounced the same way as cygne. So, when she talks in sign language she also talks in swan language! ok that was lame sorry back to the character-)
yeah so for the backstory:
Her parents died when she was about 6 years old and she was taken in by her aunt Babooshka. It was at that time she lost her voice. She never liked her aunt, who forced her to do ballet.
she died in 1877, at the premiere of the swan lake, where she played the character she shared a name with(aka the main character). But then, a prop fell on her(caused by a jealous rival) and she basically died.
Her spectre is the swan princess. It's the benevoelnt type. She looks like a ballerina in a blue tutu with swan attributes like face markings and wings(i'm still working on her design hehe)
also btw in her suitcase she had blue ballerina shoes. And she's a disaster bi. And she dislikes Annabel because she reminds her of her aunt. Also shes part of the misfits even if she has her spectre because she has a crush on lenore, and she prefers their chaotic energy over the haughty air of bourgeoisie of the clusterfucks

Hey there, pop culture aficionados! Welcome back to LearnFromWarhol, where we take a deep dive into the world of art, fame, and everything in between. Today, we're going to talk about something that's been on my mind for a while: celebrity pets.
Now, we all know that celebrities love to pamper their furry friends. Whether it's a teacup Yorkie carried around in a designer purse or a Great Dane with its own personal trainer, celebrity pets are living the life of luxury. But have you ever stopped to think about the implications of this phenomenon?
Let's take a look at some of the most famous celebrity pets out there. We've got Paris Hilton's chihuahua Tinkerbell, who was famously photographed in a pink tutu and diamond collar. We've got Taylor Swift's cats, who have their own Instagram account with over 12 million followers. We've got Lady Gaga's French bulldogs, who were tragically stolen in a violent dognapping incident earlier this year.
Now, don't get me wrong, I love animals as much as the next person. But the way celebrities treat their pets is starting to feel a little...well, excessive. It's not enough to give them a loving home and take care of their basic needs. No, these pets are expected to be fashion accessories, social media stars, and status symbols all at once.
And what about the animals themselves? Are they really happy being paraded around in fancy outfits and subjected to the paparazzi's flashing lights? Do they enjoy being treated like objects rather than living beings with their own thoughts and feelings?
Look, I'm not trying to be a killjoy here. I'm just saying that maybe we should take a step back and consider the implications of our obsession with celebrity pets. After all, there are millions of animals out there who don't have the luxury of being pampered by a rich and famous owner. Maybe we should focus on giving those animals the love and care they deserve, instead of idolizing pets who live better than most humans.
Until next time, keep it real and remember: pets are family, not fashion statements.

Ballet preserves the cultural heritage of generations, allowing us to experience the emotions and stories of our ancestors through dance.
Margot Fonteyn
Ballet's origins grew out of the Renaissance court cultures of Italy and France. Dancers would perform at the royal courts - and then invite the audience members to participate. It was a dance that was done by courtiers and kings and princes at court in social situations. It was not a theatrical art set off from social life
The first ballet dancers did not wear tutus or dance in satin shoes, but they did formalise the footwork patterns - known as first, second, third, fourth and fifth position - that are still used today. Louis XIV of France realised that if his art form was going to be disseminated throughout his realm and even to other European countries, he would have to find a way to write it down. So he asked the famed French choreographer Pierre Beauchamp to write some these positions. The positions themselves are the grammars of ballet, they're the ABC's, the classical building blocks of ballet.
In ballet's early days, men were expected to perform the more extravagant and intricate footwork. It wasn't until years later, during the French Revolution, that female dancers became stars. During the French Revolution, the aristocratic male dancer was really discredited. The hatred and bitter animosity toward the aristocracy had direct consequences for ballet. Why should you have this aristocratic art? If you're going to take down the aristocracy, why not take down ballet, too?"
By the 1830s, men were actually reviled onstage. They're thought to be a disgrace. Female dancers take the ideals that existed in the aristocratic art form and turned them into a feminine and spiritual ideal of which they are the masters. Then you get this image of the ballerina on toe, in these more romantic-era ballets of sylphs and unrequited love and the romantic themes that carried ballet into the 19th century.

Tiny Dancer (1/1) (jegulus)
"Mummm, come on" James complained.
"Please Mrs Potter don't listen to him. James hush," Regulus gently swatted James arms as his posh slightly French accent filled the room.
"Reg," James pleaded.
"No no. I want to see these too," Sirius said, a grin spread from ear to ear.
James groaned as Effie pressed the tape into the vcr. It was grainy, and James covered his face. He could here the soft music of the recital and Sirius began to laugh.
Regulus however giggled, and started cooing. "James, oh my goodness, you were so cute," he said and the sweetness in Regulus' voice made him look up.
"Yeah what happened!" Sirius teased.
While James had seen the tape too many times, and he did live it as it was of him, he remembers the tiny little slippers and being sad he wasn't allowed to wear the skirts with the other kids in his class (all girls). Monty narrates all of this too the Black Brothers, and Sirius points at the screen as it flips from the class to the recital and says - "but he is in a tutu there!"
"Yes well Monty couldn't handle James' tears really," Effie chuckled.
"No it's because my son will wear whatever he wants. He wanted to do ballet and wear the tutu then he can!" Monty said, with just as much passion all these years later that he had when he fought for James back then.
"James, you actually have good technique for a 5 year old," Regulus commented. He was leaning forward, closely watching him dance. Everyone looked at him a bit curiously. He turned to face them all, "sorry, I didn't know ballet was something all pure blood kids do."
Sirius smacked his forehead and James sputtered "wait you did ballet as well?" His tone didnt even try to hide his shock. As Regulus surveyed the room, it was clear he had made a mistake. "Well yeah, Sirius and I did right up until we went to Hogwarts," Regulus explained.
"Reg shut up'" Sirius said through gritted teeth. "Oh no no no, we were prima ballerinas James. I bet we can still do our duet," Regulus laughed.
Effie and Monty, the heathens they are, clapped as they both began a chant of "du-et, du-et, duet!" Which of course got everyone laughing, and Sirius conceded and pulled Regulus to his feet.
And all of a sudden James was watching his best friend and boyfriend perform in his living room. James couldn't have predicted this at all but he was happy, and he could see the joy on everyone's faces. He was so pleased that even his tiniest worries about bringing a boyfriend home were quashed. He never had any doubt his parents would love Regulus but he was so happy it was all going well.
Regulus and Sirius finished in beautiful curtsies, never having missed a beat.

「 Chaeri's Masterlist on my blog 」
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Takes place not long before their debut | 2013
She once had a cellphone.
Before returning to Korea, her lifestyle could be described as more than wealthy. Her mother, a prima ballerina at the Paris Opera, never had to make compromises on how much money to spend and how much money to keep each month since she had pursued that career, and this benefited her children too. Chaeri always had a wardrobe full of the prettiest dresses, handbags from internationally renowned French designers, and the most professional pointes and tutus that could be found on the market. Because, of course, all those comforts she enjoyed came at a price: her dedication to ballet.
Her mother wanted, rather, demanded, her children to be as talented and successful as she was. To Dal, her brother, this came as easy as breathing.. He was the reincarnation of ballet. Chaeri, though, felt like she had to try harder than anyone else to be acceptable in her mother's eyes. Her life revolved around dance lessons, model walking, manners and everything that would make her perfect not only for her mother, but for everyone. The words 'In this family, we do not accept failures' were often repeated to her. 
Being perfect is a heavy responsibility for everyone, but for a young girl a somewhat heavier one.
Fortunately, in her opinion, what made the days better was the time spent with her brother. The brother she loved deeply, admired and would have given her life for. She could have sworn the feelings were mutual but, apparently, he prioritised other things over her. Like everyone else. But of all the others, she didn't care, never had. What she had hang onto all those years was the bond she thought she shared with her brother. She should have hated him after the way he had turned his back on her not long ago; the disappointed angry eyes in which he judged her and called her a liar; the indifference he showed in letting her go back to Korea without even telling her that he was going to miss her; the way he failed to protect her. 
Instead, there she was, on the floor of Big Hit's public relations office, now empty by hours, with a handset phone beside her, the stretched wire running all the way across half the room, from the plug to where she was sitting. With her back against a desk she hugged her knees to her chest, with the feeling that if she squeezed them tight enough her heart too would find a way to heal its cracks. She tried to call him at the Opera Institute in Paris, where he’d been studying and living for years after winning a scholarship - she tried that too but it hadn't gone the same way -, she tried calling him at home and on his mobile phone.
The first attempt ended with a not-so-convinced 'He's not here, I'll tell him you called' from his housemates.
The second attempt ended with her mother hanging up on her.
The third, the most painful, was hearing his voice clearly telling her that she should not call him again unless she had an apology to drop.
As if she had to apologise for what was done to her.
Her eyes were pinching, a bit from disappointment a bit from anger.
But she wasn't going to cry. She wasn't going to cry. She wasn't goin-
Her thoughts of self-conviction were interrupted by the creaking sound of the office door.
That door should definitely have been oiled, the noise was unbearable.
"Chaeri-ya, I thought you were staying to practice, I was going straight to the studio but then I noticed that the only lights on besides the security lights were on this floor. Are you... okay?"
It cannot be said that Chaeri was ever rude to her mates but, certainly, for the first few months she could be described as quite reserved. She preferred to be on her own at every good opportunity, to have casual conversations without getting too personal with them. Not shy, but private. Being shy was not compatible with her strong and decisive personality that she always showed and never hid. The main feature she was proudest of.
When she saw Taehyung at the entrance of the office where she had spent the last few hours, she quickly pressed her eyelids together to wipe away the veil of tears that threatened to spill out
'I'm fine, thank you. You didn't need to come looking for me." "I wanted to"
His kindness always left her speechless, would she have been able to act as coolly with someone who hardly considered her? Probably not. He moved closer until he was a few steps from her feet
"May I help you?" "To what?" "To get that sad look off your face." "No sad look, I'm just tired."
By that time she would have liked to be alone with her thoughts, to have the chance to process yet another rejection from her brother without having to pretend that nothing was wrong because she was in other's sight.
“Look, I know we don’t know each other well, but I’m still worried about you. No one deserves to face things alone'. We are going to be a family, we should act like one"
Family
Her mouth turned bitter as she heard the boy's sentence. It was everything she did not want: become a family with them. The only concept of family she had was the one imparted by her mother and brother, and she could well do without it at this point.
"In families there is no confiding, only pushing each other to do better and better."
Tae's face was confused "I don't know why you think that but family is exactly where you should open up. No one can help you better than it"
Chaeri's eyes fell on the phone left at her side. She tried to confide with her family but everything had fallen apart because of that. A lump rose in her throat that prevented her from speaking. Would she have been better off keeping quiet? Perhaps her brother would still have spoken to her if she just kept what had happened that day in dance class to herself. But it would have been so wrong to keep it hidden.
Taehyung sat down on the cold floor in front of her "Was your family the one you called on the phone?" he pointed with his chin at the device.
Chaeri nodded without looking at him.
"Sometimes calling your relatives is worse than not hearing from them, that makes the melancholy of home even heavier."
"It's even worse if the melancholy of having me home is not felt by them." Her voice broke almost in tears that could have burst out at any moment. She felt overwhelmed by all the negative emotions accumulated over those months.
"There's not a chance they don't miss you" "Oh, trust me. There's more than a chance" "Tell me about it" "What?" "Talk it out with me. I won't give you advices or my opinion if you don't want it but I'll be a good listener. I think you need to talk about whatever is haunting you."
She hated how she was unable to manage her emotions without them taking over. She looked up at the ceiling of the room, dotted with dark specks of damp. She began to count them one by one to keep control.
"There's nothing to talk about." "You think I didn't notice that you don't feel safe?"
She didn't realise how evident her discomfort was to others until the moment Taehyung pointed out the truth to her. They believed she did not feel safe with them. This, if possible, broke her heart even more. She had never thought for a single second that one of those seven kind boys she lived with could do to her what that monster had. Despite that, it seemed that her constant anxiety about finding him around the corner had led the boys to believe that she did not feel safe with them. She couldn't hold back the tears any longer. The black dots she had been looking at until a second before were now faded by the tears blurring her vision
"I'm sorry. You haven't done anything that ever led me to think I couldn't be safe."
Taehyung was reluctant to touch her to comfort her, although he craved to be able to wipe away her tears and caress her back.
"And I assure you that it will always stay this way, Chaeri-ya. We will never do anything to make you feel uncomfortable."
For long minutes, all that could be heard in the room were the girl's sobs and nothing else. Her heart was beating so fast that she could feel the pulse in her ears and throat. The calls on the phone and the conversation with Taehyung brought back memories of each moment that led her to leave France. It took an unmeasurable strength for her to regain control of her mind.
"I have been-"
She hadn't said those words since the day she told her mother. She remembered too well how she slapped her, threatening to do it again and again if she kept saying what to her mother were only lies.
Taehyung reached out a hand to hers, squeezing it. He wanted to give her strength
"I have been assaulted by my dance teacher, in Paris."
She told someone, and that made it all even more real. The monster, as she used to call him in her thoughts, had tried to convince her that she actually misunderstood everything, that she was exaggerating it to the point where she started to doubt herself and her state of mind. But he had not succeeded, neither he, nor her mother, nor her brother - who was deeply offended by what Chaeri was implying about the teacher who had taught them both how to dance for their whole lives - .
"And that doesn't make me think that all the people around me could hurt me. I know he was the damaged one but…" She had to pause to recompose her voice "But what hurts me is that my mother… my mother and my brother believed that I made everything up. They believed him and not me. They believe him and not me. So, Taehyung-ssi, tell me how should I want to refer to someone as family if family fails you so much?"
The guy's face became unreadable and the trauma she had gone through made her fear that he would not believe her either. She was about to get up and leave when she heard him speak
"Can I hug you?" She stayed quiet for few seconds "I didn't tell you these things to be pitied" "I don't want to do this to pity you at all. The reason is because I feel you have been denied this kind of touch for too long".
The girl felt a warmth in her chest, that typical feeling you get when you are understood, treated with kindness. She nodded without even thinking about it too much, because if she did she probably wouldn't have accepted.
He was behind her, wedging himself into the space between the desk and the girl's back, to wrap his arms around her in a backhug. He rested his cheek on her hair. His eyes were damp too, but he wouldn't let it show.
"I promise you that in our family no one will ever make you feel alone or misunderstood. Never will anyone let something so horrible happen to you again. And I, personally, swear that I will get an eye on you. Always"
She really wanted to believe in the words of the boy who was so gently trying to make her feel better. Could that be the good time when she would really find a family that cared about her? And when was the last time someone cuddled her?
She couldn't remember, yet she felt as if it had been a lifetime.
