you'll find out why this is the gif i picked when you read it 😭💀
it was a peaceful spring morning. you heard the chirping of the birds from almost every window in your apartment. sunlight was also seeping in through every window. it was a good start to the day.
today was the day you went into work late. when you had quit your job at an office as a receptionist to pursue your dream of being a florist, you thought you would be working on your own terms. while that was still true for the decorating and choosing flowers part of your job, it certainly wasn’t for the timings. if anything, the timings were more strenuous now that you had to manage shop all by yourself.
you would have to go in at 6 in the morning and leave at 10 in the night with a total time of 17 minutes free throughout for an entire year, before you realised how unhealthy it was for you. you had quickly drawn up a schedule for yourself. once a month you would come in late, and one more time that month you would leave early. it worked well for you.
you would look forward to these two days in a month: the first tuesday of the month being the one you left early and the third wednesday of the month being the one you came in late.
usually, on the days you came in late, you’d sleep in. but today, you wanted to change it up. the morning was a beautiful one, it would be a shame to spend it all inside.
you decided to go to a cafe that your friends had recommended on more than one occasion. good coffee, delicious snacks and cute baristas. you shook your head disapprovingly at how dirtily their minds worked. sometimes, you couldn’t believe you were friends with them of all the 2.6 million people in brooklyn.
you stepped out of your apartment. as you walked out, you waved to your elderly neighbours. back when you had first opened shop, they were your regulars. they’d keep buying even if they didn’t need flowers. you didn’t know where you’d be without their help.
after fifteen minutes of walking and checking the directions on your phone to see if you were going on the right path, you found it. the howling brasserie.
the moment you entered the shop, you realised your friends were right. not about the coffee or the snacks — not yet, anyway — but about the bartenders. holy shit, you thought.
there was a tall blonde man with a smile that could kill, another tall black man who you just knew was incredibly charming and a beautiful red haired woman who looked like she had a flirtatious demeanour. but one man in particular caught your attention.
he was a tall man — six feet tall, at least — with broad shoulders, messy brown hair and crystal blue eyes. you gulped. pull yourself together.
you took a seat at the table furthest away from the baristas. you did not need to come into work flushed and distracted.
you hadn’t been sitting at your table for one minute when you heard a voice above you.
‘ma’am, your order?’
you looked up. oh, my god. it was the same blue eyed man. calm down. he looked even prettier up close. your eyes fell to his chest — you tried your best to stop that from happening, you really did — and you noticed how the t-shirt he was wearing was doing absolutely nothing to conceal his muscular form.
‘ma’am?’ he repeated, a small smile on his face. maybe he noticed that you were staring. he was probably used to it.
‘uh, right, sorry,’ you cleared your throat. you wanted to jump off the golden gate bridge. ‘um, what would you recommend?’ oh, my god, stop embarrassing yourself! you yelled mentally.
‘uh,’ he looked behind to the board with all the products the cafe offered, ‘are you more of a coffee or a tea person?’
‘coffee, absolutely.’
he laughed. you felt your cheeks burn. his laugh was just as pretty as him. dear lord, y/n, what the hell is wrong with you?
‘aren’t we all?’ he joked. ‘anyway, the cold coffee here is splendid. and i’m not just saying that because i work here.’
you had never really fancied iced coffee much. maybe it was time to change that. ‘oh, okay! yeah, i love iced coffee! i’ll take that.’ your voice sounded a lot higher than it normally was.
‘alright, i’ll be right back.’
he left to go behind the counter and make your coffee. sweet mother of everything that is pure, you thought as your gaze fell upon his muscular arms. you tried to push all the unwelcome thoughts in your head that followed.
you were just regaining your composure when he showed up again, this time with your coffee in his hands.
‘here ya go,’ he said, placing the cup in front of you. ‘enjoy,’ he smiled.
if you were standing, you were a hundred percent sure your knees would have buckled under you and made you fall.
you smiled back. ‘thank you.’
the moment he walked away, you picked up your phone and frantically texted your best friend, wanda.
| cUTE GUY ALERT
| what?
| i’m at that coffee shop you recommended
| howling brasserie?
| YES OMG THE BARISTA HERE IS SO CUTE IM GONNA DIE
| lmaoooo calm down bestie
| HOW
| describe him pls
| he’s like six feet tall, messy brown hair, pretty blue eyes and he is so muscular i-
| omg go for it
| r u out of ur mind
| why
| he is sO OUT of my league
| ugh you’re no fun
| :/
you downed the last of your coffee and walked up to the counter to pay for it. thanks to your luck, the cute barista was also handling the cash register.
‘hello again,’ he grinned.
‘hi, um, how much do i pay?’
‘this your first time here?’
‘yep.’
‘on the house.’
‘what?’
‘yep. don’t worry about it.’
‘that’s too kind, i can’t!’
‘you absolutely can,’ he smiled.
‘let me leave a tip at least.’
‘don’t worry about it, doll.’ the nickname, oh, my god, the nickname. ‘you can pay the next time you visit.’
‘right, of course.’ maybe you should make visiting this coffee shop your ritual. and take more breaks, like your regulars insisted.
he waved you goodbye.
as you walked to your shop, you realised you hadn’t caught his name. you had been too enamoured to check for a name tag. damn it.
the next wednesday morning, you went again. you had wanda take care of the shop. you let her take 10% of the proceeds when she was working as compensation.
when you entered the coffee shop, your gaze traveled all over the place. you couldn’t find him. maybe he had a different shift. you considered walking out, but that would be rude. so you sat down in the corner you had last time.
you saw the red haired woman walk towards your table, but when she was less than three metres away, the door swung open. it was him. he was carrying a box. his gaze landed on you, then the woman, and he rushed to drop the box.
you saw him approach the woman and tell her something. she handed him her notepad, and walked to the kitchen. he then came to your table.
‘i’ve been waiting all week for your money,’ he teased.
you laughed. ‘and you shall get it soon.’
‘the same?’
‘yep.’
his gaze lingered at you for a few more seconds before he walked back to the kitchen to grab your coffee.
that day, when you were about to leave after you paid for your coffee, just as you were about to walk away, he rushed up to you.
‘hey,’ he said, in between laboured breaths.
‘hi,’ you said. what? ‘you okay?’
‘yep. absolutely.’
‘gotta get that morning jog in, i suppose,’ you joked.
‘right,’ he laughed. ‘i just, um, for some reason, thought you should know my name.’
‘oh?’ you squealed mentally.
‘yep. it’s bucky, by the way.’
‘bucky,’ you said. ‘right, i’m y/n.’ you stretched your hand out.
‘pleasure to meet you, y/n.’ your heart skipped a beat when you heard him say your name.
‘the pleasure is all mine,’ you managed to say without stuttering.
it became a tradition for you to come every week. wanda was more than happy to let you shoot your shot. you may or may not have led her to believe you planned on asking him out soon. which you didn’t. it was a ridiculous idea.
you stopped leaving early each month to make up for the lost time. it was worth it, because soon meeting bucky had become the best part of your day, week and morning.
it was your fourth trip to the cafe when you and bucky had a full conversation.
he had just brought you your coffee, when you noticed he stood around for longer than usual.
‘i’m sorry, do i pay now?’ you asked.
‘no, no. i just, um, i have a break right about now.’
‘oh, good for you,’ you smiled.
‘yeah. would you, um, mind if i sat down here?’
‘with me?’
‘yeah.’ he ran his hands through his hair, messing it up more than it already was.
‘yeah,’ you felt your face heat up, ‘yeah, absolutely.’
‘great.’ he sat down in front of you.
you felt him look at you as you sipped your coffee. ‘do you want to talk?’
‘god, i’m sorry, i have a bit of a staring problem, or at least i’ve been told.’
you laughed. ‘it’s okay.’
‘so, um, tell me about yourself.’
‘what do you wanna know?’
‘what do you do for a living?’
‘i own a shop downtown.’
‘really?’
‘yep.’
‘what do you sell?’
‘maybe you should come find out.’
‘mysterious. i like that,’ he chuckled. ‘text me the address and i’ll stop by someday.’
‘alright.’
he stared at you for a second.
‘staring problem,’ you reminded him with a smile.
‘right, sorry,’ he laughed. ‘just, uh, how are you gonna text me?’
of course. ‘um, i don’t know.’
‘maybe i should give you my number.’
‘maybe.’
he wrote down something in a messy scrawl on his notepad, tore the page, folded it up and slid it across the table to you. checking his watch, he said, ‘as much as i hate to leave you here, my break has ended. until next week,’ he smiled.
‘until next week,’ you nodded. you unfolded the paper.
his number was there. below it, messy handwriting read, you can call me if you want too <3
you were almost completely certain you were grinning like an idiot.
he came to visit the next day. you were helping an elderly woman pick out what to get for her grandson’s wedding when your phone rang.
‘go on, take it,’ the woman told you.
‘i’m so sorry, i won’t be long.’
you headed behind your counter. it was bucky.
‘hey. isn’t there a rule for this in the bro code or something?’
‘not to my knowledge, no.’
‘the rule where you’re not supposed to call someone if it’s been less than three days?’
he laughed. ‘how do you know that?’
‘i have a few guy friends.’
‘anyone i should be worried about?’
you chuckled. ‘nope.’
‘the rule doesn’t apply to special people.’
‘you flatter me.’
‘i'm glad.’ you just knew he was flashing his thousand megawatt smile at the other end. ‘anyway, what’s your shop’s name? i’m here but i don’t know where your shop is.’
‘oh, it’s the one called blooming shield.’
‘interesting name.’
‘i came up with it when i was drunk,’ you laughed.
‘it’s still pretty good.’
you spotted him out the window of your shop. his back was turned to you.
you rushed out of your door, still on the phone with him. you tapped him on the shoulder.
‘oh, god,’ he practically yelped. you winced and cut the call immediately.
‘sorry about that.’
‘it’s alright.’ his features softened into a smile.
‘do you wanna head inside?’
‘yeah, sure.’ he had an uneasy kind of look on his face, but you brushed it off.
you took him inside.
‘so, why’d you decide to become a florist?’
‘um, i just really like flowers, i suppose. nothing too profound,’ you laughed.
‘interesting.’
‘yeah.’ you led him through the aisles.
‘hibiscus is my favourite flower,’ you told him. you saw him breathing deeper than usual, and his nose was turning slightly red.
‘hey, are you alright?’ you asked him.
‘yeah,’ he almost wheezed, ‘i’m great.’ then he sneezed. ‘oh, my god, i am so sorry.’
‘bucky, are you allergic to pollen?’ you asked him, the worry prevalent in your voice.
‘no,’ his gaze landed on the floor. ‘maybe.’
‘dear lord,’ you said as you practically dragged him out of your store. ‘why didn’t you tell me?’
‘i’m sorry.’ it sounded more like i'm sowwy.
‘bucky, i’m gonna take you to my apartment. is that okay? i have a bunch of antihistamines and decongestants there.’
he nodded.
you put your arm around him. it must have been a strange sight, to see someone of your stature almost carry a man that broad shouldered and taller than most through the streets.
when you reached the apartment, you opted for the elevator for the first time in your life.
‘bucky, why didn’t you tell me?’ you said in the elevator.
‘i didn’t want to let you down,’ you barely heard his murmur.
you took his face into your hand. ‘you would’ve been okay with me almost killing you, though?’
‘you didn’t almost kill me,’ he smiled.
‘i could’ve.’
‘maybe.’
you laughed.
when the elevator reached your floor, you pushed him out — with great struggle — and almost threw him onto the couch when you opened the door.
‘god, i am so sorry,’ you said, frantically, as you looked in your cabinets for the medicine.
‘it’s okay, i deserve it.’
you almost tripped over yourself as you ran to where he was sitting.
‘okay,’ you handed him a glass of water, one yellow pill and one white pill, ‘take these.’
he downed them quickly.
‘are you better?’
‘a little.’
‘that’s good.’
‘you really should have told me.’
‘i know, i just didn’t want to ruin it.’
‘i think you dying would’ve ruined it.’
he laughed. ‘you really are never gonna let this go, are you?
‘nope.’
‘i’m sorry i almost died on our first date.’
you looked at him with wide eyes. ‘was this?’
‘what?’
‘our first date?’
‘was it not? jesus, i misinterpreted it, argh, i’m sorry—’
‘no, i, uh, like the sound of that,’ you smiled.
‘well, now i’ve just ruined it beyond repair.’
‘maybe you can swing by for dinner and we can watch a movie afterwards,’ you suggested.
‘really?’
‘yep.’
‘that’d be great. what movie?’
you thought for a second. then, with a smile, you said, ’mean girls is good.’
‘right, i’ve heard quite a lot about that one. haven’t seen it, though.’
‘oh, my god. you haven’t seen mean girls?’
‘nope.’
‘where were you in high school?’
he laughed.
‘we have to watch this movie.’
‘alright.’ he grinned wide at you. your face was on fire. but a good kind of fire.

Hey this is for your matchups which again yayyy congrats on nearly 200!! Anyways for my matchup:
1-3) My nickname is Em, she/her and idm who you pair me with
4) I'd describe myself as shy at first then once you get to know me I'll open up, an overthinker and I like to be organized
My hobbies are writing, I really love it alot, I also like to draw if I get time and I love music alot too
In a partner I'd look for someone who makes me laugh and who's patient
For dealbreakers it's pretty general but I couldn't be with someone who doesn't consider other ppl's feelings
5) I don't have an aesthetic but I like pastel aesthetics but then I also like dark aesthetics and light academia so it's a mix I guess
6) Colours to describe me would be teal blue and silver, well according to you anyways
7) Right now I'd say my favourite song is  Tru Luv Street by Awfultune or Fight Night Champion by Cyberbully Mom Club
8) Idk about a specific genre but some artists I like rn are: Awfultune, Carpetgarden, Cavetown, Clem Turner, Cyberbully Mom Club, Girl in Red, Joji, Lorde, Matt Maltese and Twenty One Pilots (sorry that's alot)
9) Ooh and I wanted to include that my favourite book is Radio Silence by Alice Oseman
Thank you in advance and also ily, you deserve all the love and more!! <3
EM MY BELOVED I HAVE DONE IT
@sugasfanfics this was so fun wtf like-- ugh i love this
ANYWAY i know i already kinda spilled the beans but im gonna match you with....
✧𝐴𝑘𝑎𝑎𝑠ℎ𝑖 𝐾𝑒𝑖𝑗𝑖✧
AGASHIII
Tumblr media
and no it's not just because you're already in love w him i have good reasoning behind this because i said so anyWAY
✧𝐻𝑜𝑤 𝑌𝑜𝑢 𝑀𝑒𝑡✧
how you met, for in case you cant see my fancy text
Cafe
C a f e
But like
A cafe specifically for nerds
This is just my like 2nd dream job okay but like hear me out
They have coffee & tea & a bookshelf full of old books and a chalkboard
You can write all over the chalkboard
You write super tiny and just let a little mini vent out in the corner because you’re stressed out and need to get everything off your chest
BUT you come back the next day and there’s a little note in the same little corner
Your message is gone
But instead is a little note from someone
“If you ever need to talk to someone, let me know”
And an Instagram username
So you give it a shot and you’re like why not talk to this random person Y’know maybe make a new friend if anything just thank them for the offer
You message him and start talking (and low key stalk his page just to see what he’s like, or maybe that’s just me being a snoop) and he’s actually really cool! So you guys meet up and get coffee and actually start talking all the time it’s really sweet
✧𝐺𝑒𝑛𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑙 𝐻𝑒𝑎𝑑𝑐𝑎𝑛𝑜𝑛𝑠✧
general headcanons
When i think of akaashi, I think of stars
When i think of you, i think of picnics and for some reason, water
Like the ocean
SO EVEN IF ITS NOT THE OCEAN
Your ‘spot’ is by this lake where he took you on a date one time
Maybe for an anniversary or something
But you guys did a little picnic dinner thing and were out when the sun went down so sat and stared at the stars
You buried a rock there and both of you like to stand on that spot where the rock is when youre there with the other
Or send the other a picture like “hiii baby look what i found” w your shoe in the picture
Bokuto is your #1 shipper high key
Like he thinks you two are so cute
He loves you so much too like
He and akaashi are kinda a package deal so like if ur dating akaashi ur dating bokuto just with less kissing (bokuto likes to kiss your cheek or forehead) (after making sure this was ok with akaashi of course) (ur his girlfriend of course)
But anyway just bokuto
He’s so sweet
And so clueless
You two will be walking together and then he’ll just walk up behind you and sling his arms over your shoulders
If youre holding hands w akaashi? He’ll put his hand over both of yours
God now i wanna write a fic but anyway
Bo is just the sweetest and is akaashi’s #1 hype man when he’s worried about a date
He’s ur #2 bc im ur #1 sorry to tell u
Bo totally tried to coin the platonic soulmates thing i love you kou but gtfo my em
Im arguing with fictional characters
ANYWAY
When akaashi is stressed he likes to wrap his arms around you and lay his head against your neck
He’ll never admit it out loud because he thinks its weird but he thinks you smell nice
When he’s starting to overthink too much + spiral he just will grab you and hug you until all the bad thoughts go away
When he thinks to of course
When he doesn’t, there are times you gotta find him and calm him down
Which he loves so much
Sit him down on the floor so he feels more grounded and hold his hand (or hook pinkies that's so cute i jhbflebf) (not the time spencer gtfo)
That way ur not crowding him but you’re still there y'know
And sometimes he’ll talk, sometimes you need to talk him down, sometimes you just sit in silence
Eventually he will lean forward into you and hug you because he doesn't want to talk, but he wants you to know he’s okay
Rub his back, kiss his head, you’ll both be okay
He’s really good with you too
When you’re stressed out he might push a couple buttons but he means well
He just wants to know who made his star upset (he calls you his star or darling convince me otherwise)
So he pushes buttons until you finally talk about it because obviously it’s bothering you why wouldn't you talk about it?? He just wants to fix it??
Sometimes this gets more irritating, sometimes it helps, it depends on the day
But even if you do get into an argument, expect to hear from him before the end of the night apologizing because he feels so bad for arguing with you that he doesn’t even care what the argument was about he just wants to make sure you still love him
I think im getting off topic but tbh this part is always just me rambling lol
Another thing I think of when I think of akaashi is rain. I don't know why but i do
You have to at least know OF the notebook & the rain scene to get this
I don't know the book lol i just know this much and i'm a dork so we’re using it & some quotes just a heads up
But just imagine its pouring and you’re bored and text him like “i wish i could see you but its raining & we didn't really make plans & i don't want you to get caught in the rain anywhere”
This mfer
RUNS ALL THE WAY TO UR HOUSE
JUST SHOWS UP
OUT OF NO WHERE
And being the freakin
book nerd he is
He texts you and goes “I wrote you 365 letters.”
And then just “(come to the door and I’ll finish the quote)”
So you bolt to the front door
And there he is
Soaking wet & smiling like an idiot
“I wrote to you everyday for a year.”
To which you start laughing and barley are able to make out a “it wasn’t over’ (which is the beginning of the next quote) before kissing him
And this jerk pulls you out in the rain with him because WHAT is more romantic than kissing in the rain
Nothing
Anyway he ends up with a cold but you give him some of the clothes you probably stole from him to get into dry clothes and you cuddle under the covers with tea
After you smack him (playfully of course) because “you IDIOT keiji it's pouring out here!!” “I wanted to see you too so i ran over” “you're impossible”
Anyway yeah #emkaashiotp
✧𝐴 𝐷𝑎𝑡𝑒 𝐼𝑑𝑒𝑎✧
a date idea
Bookstore
I'm really good at naming places aren't i
Anyway
Bookstore date
But do something fun where the two of you have to go through an aisle and find a random page and read it in the like
How do i explain this
Make it sound suuuuper sexual without it actually being that way and not laugh
Whoever loses buys lunch
Lets just say you lose a lot dear im sorry (he insists on buying anyway, sometimes he wins that argument)
You’re smiley :) (guys her smile is so cute ebflbejfb em ILY)
Oh also doesn’t matter if he bought lunch or not he always gets you something
Whether it be that book you decided you couldn't get this time or a little trinket that reminded him of you, or sometimes it’s just ice cream
It’s all very sweet (hahaha pun)
He always walks you home and gives you a little kiss when he drops you off
Doesn’t leave till you’re inside & he knows you’re good
You make him promise to text you when he gets home
Which he does, without fail

zodiac compatibility
Sagittariuses are very intelligent, fair-minded & honest, similar to a Libra’s cleverness & rationale. Because of this similarity, trust is a huge thing in these relationships. It can be all or nothing, but finding balance is important to keep both people happy. Luckily, Libras are very good at this. From everything I’ve seen, these signs together have a very high compatibility and can have a very long-withstanding and healthy relationship.

Strangers ch. 23
Lisa becomes your manager, and your career moves faster than you can hold onto it.
Pairing: Yoongi x (female) Reader
Word count: 1.8k
Genre: Fluffy floofy flufflefloof
|mlist|
<–– Prev   Next ––>
You set down your coffee. “A-an agent?”
“Well, duh,” Lisa says, rolling her eyes. “Have you or have you not gotten about a thousand job offers this week?”
“It’s only been six,” you mutter.
“And which of those six are you going to accept? Do you know?”
You bite your lip. “No...”
“Which is why you need an agent,” Lisa says triumphantly. “A job here, a commercial there, model, act, I don’t care– the music video was a huge boost for you, and you gotta take advantage of it. Your popularity’s only gonna grow.”
You think back to the unsettling, hateful comments you’ve been receiving almost daily. “Dunno if that’s a good thing.”
“Of course it is,” Lisa replies, reading your mind. “Y/n, the mean comments are just prepubescent girls who’re jealous that you got near their idols. Don’t worry about it.”
“Right...” and if they knew you’ve been living with BTS, they’d probably kill you.
“Anyways, a few of my classmates are interning for decent agencies, I can set you up to meet with their bosses– you’ll need better headshots, but they’ll snatch you up, I’m sure...”
“I wish you could be my agent,” you complain, and Lisa laughs.
“Me too, hon, but yours is a delicate situation, and I don’t have enough experience.”
“But that is what you want to do? Manage idols?”
Lisa considers your query. “Yeah, I mean... a lot of celebrities are done so dirty by their management companies. I want to be a manager that actually looks after my clients, you know?”
You groan. “Then be my manager– I don’t want to work with someone that doesn’t have my best interests at heart, I know what that does to people.” At Seoul Arts, a portion of your classmates have already made it as actors, idols, or spokespeople. They’re the ones that walk around like zombies, constantly miss class, and can glue on a brilliant smile at a moment’s notice. You do want to become a respected actress, but not like that.
“Tell you what,” Lisa says. “Let’s look over your job offers together, I’ll give you the best advice I can, and I’ll talk to my entertainment management professor– this might be a good entry into show business for the both of us. If it doesn’t work–” Lisa shrugs. “No big deal, we just find you a real agent.”
You nod gratefully. “You’re the greatest.” I lied to you.
“Yeah, yeah,” Lisa waves her hand. “Now let’s see those offers, come on.”
You shuffle the papers you brought with you to the cafe. “Um, this one is a commercial offer for some instant ramen brand, here’s a photoshoot for a bridal shop, this one is for a drama– as Nurse #3–”
With every contract you hand to her, Lisa’s focus sharpens. She scans the pages, muttering to herself about hours and pay and reputation. At some point she picks up a pen and begins scratching out figures on a napkin, while you sit across from her, nervously drumming your fingers on the table.
“Accounting for classtime...” she murmurs, eyes alight, “And your job at the cafe...”
“I’m quitting,” you blurt out.
“What?”
“Yeah, it’s...” gotten too awkward seeing Xiumin, it hurts, he cheated on me... “It’s gonna be too much to juggle everything.” You tighten your hand into a fist, still regretting that you didn’t punch your ex in the face when you had the chance. “I’m putting my all into the future!”
“A gambler, huh?” Lisa grins at you. “I like it. Okay, so for the hours they’ll want you, and the type of rep you want to build, you could afford to do the bridal photoshoot and the two nameless extra roles. We can build up from there. I could probably get you a better paycheck, though...” She buries herself back in the contracts, and you giggle. You’re so happy to have her by your side, she’s being so supportive, you lied to her, you can’t wait to see where the future takes you...
And take you it does. While the members are still away doing comeback promotions, you move back into your now-dry apartment. The next few weeks are a whirlwind of classes and odd jobs:
“Perfect, beautiful, now smile, you’re getting married, remember?”
“Just look shocked, hold up the clipboard a bit more, there we go–”
“Pretend to take his blood pressure, don’t look up, and action!”
“No, don’t actually eat the food, we still need to do about ten more takes!”
“Y/n!” Lisa bursts into your room one day, waving a stack of papers. “Guess what?”
You try and fail to focus your vision on your friend. “You’re all blurry,” you complain. “And... I can’t feel my hands.” You raise your arms to check that they’re still there, and you notice your hands trembling.
“Woah,” you say, awed. “I’m vibrating!”
Lisa pauses. “How much sleep have you gotten?”
“Three.”
“Three what?”
“Three sleep.” you hold up a can of a caffeinated energy drink. “This counts as one sleep, right?”
“I told you to tell me when it was getting to be too much, y/n,” Lisa sighs, taking the can from you. “Whatever. Go to bed, I’ll tell these guys that you have too much on your plate already–”
“What? No.” You shake your head, forcing your thoughts to clear. “I’m here, I’m ready, what’s the job?”
Lisa hesitates. “A minor role in a drama called Moon Over the Sea. You’d play the sister of the main character, and you’d get a romance subplot... the point is, she’s a recurring character!”
“What?” That’s a huge deal. You’ve already played or signed on to play a number of nameless extras, but to have a real, actual role... “Tell them yes, Lisa, please,” you plead. “I can handle it, I swear.”
She scratches her head. “Well, if you’re sure...”
“I’m sure.”
“I’ll say no to that photoshoot, then, you’re a lot more valuable now.”
“Whatever you say,” you reply breathlessly. A real role!
That night, during the five minutes of free time you’ve managed to squeeze out of your hectic schedule, you text Yoongi: I heard Possible won another award. Congrats!
A few seconds later, you get a reply.
Yoongi: Bigger congratulations to you, I’m pretty sure I spotted you in a magazine the other day.
You giggle, rubbing your Starry Night necklace. Call me? I miss ur voice
As soon as the text sends, you get a call.
“Hey there, Yoongs!”
“Hey yourself, superstar,” he replies, and you roll your eyes.
“I’m not a star yet,” you say. “Besides, it’s all thanks to you.”
“If I recall, I had nothing to do with getting you that spot in our music video or anything since,” Yoongi replies. “So how’s it going?”
You yawn, blinking heavily. “Good. Yeah, it’s been a hell of a time.”
“You haven’t been sleeping, huh?”
You laugh weakly. “Nothing I’m not used to.”
“Hey, so I found another of those posts you left us...” Yoongi says, and you hear the rustle of paper before he reads aloud. “Yoongi oppa, I know you work so hard for us but please take care of yourself! We’re happy when we see you happy and healthy.”
“I sense a subtle jab,” you say dryly.
“Yeah. You’re gonna call me a hypocrite, but you really need to take care of yourself, y/n,” Yoongi replies.
“That’s gonna be hard– guess who just got cast as a recurring character?” you squeal, half exploding with excitement.
“Really? No way, that’s amazing!”
“Yeah, in some drama called... what was it? Moon Over the Sea, I think. I’m a super minor character, but, y’know...” you shrug before realizing he can’t see you. “It’s something.”
Yoongi makes a choked sort of coughing sound. “It certainly is. Hey, you should go to sleep, it’s late.”
You check your watch. “At this point, I think it’s technically early.”
“Same thing. And I’ve got to go, I need to finish this track by eight in the morning.”
“Right, of course. Goodnight!”
“Sweet dreams, y/n.”
When your head finally hits your pillow, you barely have time to sigh contentedly before you’re out like a light. 
The next week finds you tugging at your blouse, trying to pretend you look good in it. After being offered the role, you still have to audition?
“The director wants to make sure you’ve got good chemistry with your costars,” Lisa had explained. “The job is yours, a hundred percent. Be yourself– minus the sass– and you’ll be golden.”
The door opens. A woman with a clipboard pokes her head out. “Miss l/n?”
You rise nervously. “Yes?”
“Just through here, you’ll be running through some scenes with your costar, he should be here any moment.”
“O-of course.” For so unimportant a role, you suddenly find yourself staring at a panel of five men and women in business suits. That’s not nerve-wracking at all.
“H-hello,” you say, inclining your head politely before straightening up. “My name is l/n y/n and I’m reading for the part of Kim Ji-Woo.” It’s the only information you have on your character – Ji-Woo is the older sister of the main protagonist. You know that the drama is based on Pride and Prejudice and your character is the equivalent of Jane Bennet– which means you get your own minor romantic subplot. There isn’t much depth to the character, so your job is to bring Ji-Woo to life.
“It’s a pleasure, miss l/n,” says the man in the center. “We’re very excited for you to join us.”
You blush happily. They’re excited for you, a no-name wannabe, to join them.
The door opens behind you, and the panel of suits shifts and shuffles papers.
“Hello,” you hear a deep, familiar voice say. “My name is Kim Seokjin and I’m reading for the part of Moon Sung-Min.”
Your greeting gets caught in your throat. Jin– Jin is your costar? Is Twitter going to use this an another excuse to accuse you of sleeping your way to the top?
No. You’ve never met Jin under any unprofessional circumstances. You stick out your hand, smoothing your facial features with the expertise of– well, of someone who’s spent a lifetime lying– and smile easily at Jin.
“I look forward to working with you,” you tell him, watching as his eyes go from recognition to surprise to delight to understanding as you grip his hand harder than necessary, signaling that you want to go through with this audition as strangers, nothing more.
“Here are your scripts,” the man in the center nods at the young woman by the door, and she hands you and Jin thick packets of paper. “This is for the third episode. Please flip to Ji-Woo and Sung-Min’s first scene together, on page sixteen.”
He nods to the woman next to him, who begins reading. “The scene: Interior, the Sung family’s annual ball. Ji-Woo is standing with her sisters when Sung-Min approaches her.” Deep breath. “And... begin!”
A/N Thank you for reading!! My inbox is always open to any and all feedback (or random questions, or if you just want to say hi, etc.) I hope you enjoyed!

Hey page!! 💟 so i was going through the oc tags because yknow. Appreciating ur(annnd princess', cant forget that) children is v lovely and fun I read some info already, but i would VERY MUCH appreciate it if you could quickly list all of them and some basic information along with a few facts if you have time and if you want obviously 💕 i'm just curious to properly get to know the beautiful babes!!! I luv em so muchhh
I have too many ocs ahhh !! um !! I’ll start with the ones on my art fight and I’ll link their refs on that page haha
AceralOne of my first ever ocs shes very much based visually on shiro from Deadman Wonderland haha ! She’s a fallen angel who has been alive for around 2000 years? She was abused while she was alive and killed her abuser after becoming an angel, condemning her to be fallen. She has a constant need to be full, of love or of pain but no matter what she is never happy.
CalypsoShe is also an eternal character haha ! She is a witch who was separated from her parents at a young age and copes by helping those who were in the same situation as she was and didn’t adjust as well ! She is proficient in Necromancy (although she doesn’t practice it anymore) Weather and Reanimation !
CecilyA cyclops from a far-away world. They are a devote in their religion and they are very openly preachy about the world their God wants. When she was a child she had a creature called ‘the Eye of God’ drilled into her brain and it watches her every move.
Cherry PickerMy BNHA oc ! Also known as Chiba Kaiyoko, this character can manipulate and change the forms of liquids - she used this power to open her own charity run cafe where she makes drinks using water! The profits go to impoverished nations and she also uses this money to fly to those countries and change entire lakes to clean water.
CryptidFucker69Horny for Mothman.
Poison LovelyA fantroll ! Designed by my sister @maidofsalt ! They are a yandere character with a love for not only those she is infatuated with but also untraceable poisons ! Which may or may not be related ! She loves leaving gifts such as fresh organs for her lovers - particularly hearts!
PuffAn overwatch oc ! Puff is an android who was built for the purpose of fighting for overwatch by her creator [REDACTED]. She blows bubbles which manifest as health boosts and she can use her Caduceus staffs other side for melee combat. She has a heart of literal gold !
TalcTalc is my gemsona ! She is 1ft tall and extremely fragile - her species were meant to be shattered but they discovered that Talcs are great at sweet talking when they walked out of the execution room with new assignments ! Talc’s specific job was to give inspiring speeches to those in the war - she is still haunted by the sights she was forced to see as consequence.
TungusThis joke name was given to him because of a super salty genji I played against that I still remember - and his green hair is an homage to that! Tungus is a prince of a nearby kingdom, and a bratty one at that. He would force the maids to undress in front of him and then alter their clothes to wear himself. Not a good person.
Vastus I’ve spoken about him a lot lately but he is a demon who was born into hell under the devils bloodline, those born under this bloodline are given the pleasure of torturing those banished to hell and he refused this offer. He studied under a Reaper and soon became one, falling in love with a Vampire who stole his heart and a lot of his blood.
WhinnieWhinnie was born without her lower legs. This caused her parents to treat her like a burden, and when she started to levitate instead of walk- she was a monster. Her parents would force her to use a wheelchair when they went out- if she was allowed to go out. She left home early and was found by Calypso - who fed and homed her - teaching her that being a witch was something to be proud of.
AriannaBig fight lesbian.
AnnabiHP roleplay character ! My first ever oc / self insert. Super cringy but basically was moved between a lot of orphanages and in one foster home the foster mother took ill and had a heart attack. Annabi used this unsupervised environment to practice for her dream profession - surgeon. She was given the letter to Hogwarts soon after and took a box of souvenirs with her ughhhhh
LeisonTrollsona ! Im a big homestuck ! She is an olive blood who longed to be a mother and so killed some new grub’s lucius and took them to raise as her own, disguising herself as a jade blood in order to seem more maternal. She hides these grubs (now trolls) in her tower and tries to find someone to be a parent with her - getting rid of the candidates when they fuck up. Rapunzel parallel.

soulmate!wonwoo
in this au everyone has their soulmate’s name tattooed on their skin somewhere
as a little kid you always dreamed of meeting your soulmate jeon wonwoo and wondered what he was like, but slowly over the years u started thinking less and less about him and more and more about music
you really really loved music and wanted to be able to follow your passion and so you audition to train under *jyp whisper* jyp entertainment. and u get in!!!!good job!!!
and idols……. well they are sometimes allowed to date but agencies are very very careful about soulmate marks because in the earlier years of kpop there were a bunch of scandals where saesang fans would pretend to be idols’ soulmates and it was in general super creepy and bad
despite all that, you don’t really have much time to think about jeon wonwoo anymore between vocal training and dance training and school, but every once in awhile you touch the hangul of your tattoo on your collarbone and hope that maybe he can feel it
because as busy as you are you still dream about him
and sometimes you feel regret for choosing to be an idol over finding your soulmate, but you hope that he wouldn’t want you to sacrifice your dreams for him, because you know you would be upset if he sacrificed his dreams for you!!!!
meanwhile, wonwoo is pretty much in the same place except while you are still a trainee he has already debuted!! wow!!!! and wonwoo is…….. well he’s wonwoo. he acts all moody a lot of the time but in reality he really wants to meet his soulmate and is a big mushy kid inside
you don’t actually pay a lot of attention to other idol groups beyond listening to their music and sometimes watching their stages, so u have no idea there is a jeon wonwoo in seventeen despite liking their songs
so you debut, and things are going well and people love ur group and ur members and you’re a new ~ ~~super rookie~ ~~ group
but one day you’re doing an outdoors concert and it starts to rain and the makeup covering your soulmark washes away
you don’t even realize it until you’re offstage and one of your members points it out, but your staff is just like. okay. it’s okay, we’ll up security but there haven’t been any saesang threats yet so things should be okay
but THEN one of ur stylists is like. wait. jeon wonwoo…… as in seventeen’s jeon wonwoo? and you’re like …. ? ? ? ? ? ????what????? ? /?
everyone freaks out
ur members are like “HOW did you not REALIZE ,, ,,, havent u ever GOOGLED your soulmate” and “how did WE not realize??????///???????????” and ur managers are like “how did we MISS this……”
and you’re just sitting in the middle of your dressing room shellshocked, with everyone around u freaking out
because in all of your dreams about your soulmate, you never ever ever ever imagined he would be an idol, and especially not one in a popular group like seventeen
needless to say, dispatch gets their hands on a picture of you and your soulmark and within two hours there is a headline that’s like:  Y/N OF JYP SOULMATES WITH SEVENTEEN JEON WONWOO????? and knetizens flip out
jyp has never encountered a scandal like this before, and it’s your first scandal but even though it really isn’t your fault you’re getting a lot of hate and people are accusing you of faking the soulmark and even some threats. and you’re just holed up at the agency trying to distract yourself with music
the accusations of jyp faking your soulmark for publicity is especially upsetting because your whole life you’ve waited to meet your soulmate in a happy way, but instead you learned who he was like this and you can’t imagine what he must think of you and you’re worried he won’t want anything to do with you after all the scandal
of course wonwoo is told about the dispatch article pretty much as soon as it comes out and he’s absolutely floored. all of the members are like “? ?!!!??!?!??!?!?!?!?!!”
and wonwoo is like……… y/n……. is my soulmate…………?the cute rookie that jeonghan won’t stop  talking about……? and then he’s like. but they’re so beautiful………….. and u have a stage name so for a moment he’s like no, that’s wrong
but jeonghan goes listen up, i Researched Them the Second This Article Came Out and Their Birth Name is the Same as Your Soulmark. So
and wonwoo is floored part 2
so anyways pledis is also trying to figure out what to do and seventeen’s managers get in touch with your managers and are like, ,, , hey. what should we do ……..?
and after a lil while they’re just like., okay let’s just let them meet and decide what they want to do because there doesn’t really seem to be a better option
and his members are all like “u should dress up!!!!!!!” and wonwoo is like, no mingyu  get  that DAMN hair product away from me don’t come CLOSE soonyoung…. im wearing this fricki
and u keep telling urself: this is NOT a date. but as much as u are thinking that u can’t help how fast your heart is beating and you’re like …. do not let him realize u  have been watching fancams of him for the last 3 days straight…. do not tell him u have listened to his part in don’t wanna cry  27 times in a row…… …. just…… be cool………….
but then he walks into the room and u see him in person for the first time and your heart STOPS you swear and ur like….. how is he……… soooooo handsome…………. but what u don’t know is he is also like ;( wow they’re so cute ;(
and even though u never really remembered what your soulmate looked like in your dreams now that you’re in the same room it really feels like you’ve been together before, somewhere
that first meeting is a lil awkward because neither of you are particularly extroverted people(and ur managers are like. right there……)  but you talk about each other’s music because that’s an easy subject and time passes so easily which is rare for both of you with strangers and you exchange numbers, and then at the end when you have to go you feel this tug in your heart
and you bow to him and ur like “i’m sorry we had to meet this way” and wonwoo looks u straight in the eyes and says “no matter how we met, i’m happy that we did”
once he’s in the car he’s like what  the heck wonwoo that was so GROSS…… but you blush all the way to your dance practice
that night he texts u “can we see each other again?” and all your members SCREAM when they see his name on ur phone and ur like SHUSH!!!!!i’ve got to be COOL!!!!!!! but at the same time you’re not upset anymore because you met your soulmate and it feels right
you meet again  one late night once the scandal has mostly gone away and go a little cafe near your dorm and talk about your favorite books and your childhood and it’s so easy and natural to be with him and at the end he walks you home and asks if he can kiss you
ur like,,,, ,, , fuck being cool PLEASE kiss me,,….. , .,….. i have waited my entire life for this
he only kisses ur cheek. what a g*ddamn tease. but also he’s like, your entire life???????
“u PUNK!!! u have too!!!!”
he does the nose crinkle thing. u know the one. the cutest nose crinkle in the world
and then he kisses u for real and it’s corny but you really think that u feel something align inside u
you talk to ur agencies and they let u date(in secret) and both of you are super busy but you understand that it comes with the territory of being an idol. there are lots of late night phone calls where one of you wakes the other but from the beginning you and wonwoo were both alright with making those compromises
sometimes those calls are just the two of you falling asleep listening to each others breathing when you’re both in seoul but can’t spend time together, or sometimes he’s halfway across the world and telling you about what the gag trio did at dinner as you get ready to go to practice
whenever one of you goes away for tour/promotions you agree on a book to read and you text each other about it so u can feel like u are close together and ur dating in secret so netizens do that thing where they’re like “COUPLE BRACELETS?????” but with u and wonwoo it’s couple books….. pure……….. ;(
u promote at the same time once and whenever you run into each other backstage booseoksoon do something ridiculous and yell “OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO” and people filming them are?????? “what” but you and wonwoo are literally just bowing to each other off camera
u try to teach wonwoo how to take a good selca but he literally just can’t be bothered so you’ll send him super cute pictures like “i miss you!!!!” and he’ll reply “cute” with a selca but it’s the worst picture ever and ur all wonwoo please how am i supposed to  make u my phone background if u take such bad photos
svt LOVES you……. mingyu is always telling you embarrassing stories about predebut wonwoo and then he’ll pull out a video and show u middle school svt and wonwoo is like IM going to MURDER YOU
“hush wonu u look so cute here!!!!!! and anyways literally two hours ago you took a pic of me with my mouth full of food and laughed for 15 minutes straight”
most of your dates end with wonwoo falling asleep on u somehow and then you fall asleep too and half of the members are like… gross……but half of them are like *takes pics  sends to groupchat cooing about how cute you two are*
he makes one of those pics his phone bg
whenever seventeen wins awards he texts u immediately as soon as possible and when they win a big one and you’re at the same awards ceremony and as soon as the svt members are done hugging he looks for you and of course you’re already looking at him and he’s teary eyed and honestly so are u
because you were right that you had a soulmate that supported your dreams and you’re so so so proud that he never gave up on his either
that night he tells u he loves you and you’re like “i’ve loved you my whole life”
and don’t TELL me wonwoo would not get emo as HELL hearing you tell him u love him………….
in the end you are just always there for each other and understand each other in a way that only soulmates can, and even when u go public with your relationship and there’s backlash you believe in each other and love each other and you never ever ever give up on each other
