➳ Taglist: @dat-town
You had the crappiest weekend ever.
You had been supposed to see one of your favourite singers on Sunday, you had made all the arrangements (booked the hotel, booked the train, told everyone about it and managed to drag your best friend with you, turning the Saturday night concert into a girly weekend with some sightseeing in a city that you hadn't been to a lot of times) only to have been told last minute that the singer had fallen ill, and the concert had to be cancelled. You had been shattered, but decided to go along with it.
However, on Sunday, the café you had put on the plan had been closed for technical reasons, the museum had not met your expectations, and besides, the weather had been horrendous. It had been raining all day with stormy winds, and your best friend huffed all the time that she hadn't enjoyed the weather and you should have known that this weekend was cursed from the start. To which, you couldn't have helped but retort that if she hadn't wanted to come, she should have just told you, you could have been fine, but neither the cancellation of the concert, nor the weather had been your fault. You had taken it upon yourself to arrange the travel and the accommodation in return for her coming with you, you had looked up sights that she would probably enjoy, and she had always said that whatever was fine with her, you could decide.
Yet, after the news of the cancellation, she had started turning everything against you which you hadn't enjoyed, to say the least. You had probably been angrier and more disappointed that it had all gone downhill after all the preparations, but she had just complained and complained. You had ended Sunday with an argument that had led you two to go back to the uni dorms almost in complete silence. Two hours worth of a train ride had never seemed so long, and if it had not been enough, your period had arrived on Sunday night, so you hadn't even slept well.
No wonder the 8am lecture on Monday didn't seem that appealing, but you didn't want to slack off and let the crappy weekend affect your studies, so you still decided to go. With one hand on your stomach (as if it could ease your cramps) and the other flipping through your notebook, you were praying that today's lecture would go by quickly.
You were so lost in thought that you almost didn't notice someone sitting down beside you, and if it had not been for Daniel's familiar deep voice reaching your ears, you would have probably not even looked up.
"Hey! How are you?" The boy inquired genuinely as he plopped down beside you, fishing his books and notebooks out of his bag. You were glad that he didn't look your way while doing so because you needed the time to pull yourself together.
"Hey!" You replied after a few seconds of silence, your voice coming out quite feebly. You cleared your throat before continuing though. "Not bad. And you?" You forced the words out, hoping that he didn't take note of the weariness in your voice. It was rather difficult to fake being happy, so you tried your best to numb your pain instead.
However, Kang Daniel was a psychology major for a reason. He was excellent at reading people's moods, and he was even better at comforting people. You had this one lecture together - Business Psychology, an elective for you as a Business major and an elective for him as a Psychology major -, but even during the time before these lectures and during short exercises the prof gave you, you could get to know just how kind and compassionate he was. One thing you had realised quite early on was that he was rather soft-spoken despite his deep, raspy voice (and on a side note, he had the most adorable eye-smile and dimples combo). He had definitely surprised you with his maturity and gentleness, you hadn't expected it from him when he had sat beside you during the first lecture in his all black outfit.
During the past two months, you had become acquainted with each other, and had even met up a few times outside of lectures - both purposefully and both by accident -, and you would say you had become quite the friends. Maybe even more than friends, but neither of you wanted to force anything, so you were getting to know each other slowly.
Yet, exactly the thing that you liked about him the most (his attentiveness) was why you felt a bit uncomfortable now under the searching gaze of his, in the crossroads of his worried eyes.
"You sure? Is everything alright?"
In vain it would be if you tried to deny it, so you let out an aghast sigh as you shook your head.
"Do you want to talk about it? You don't have to, but if you want to, I'm listening," he offered as gently as one could once he stopped packing his stuff, and now, he put his elbow on top of his books, his jaw resting on the top of his hand.
You didn't even know where to begin, but you started somewhere and the rest followed. You realised that once you started talking about it, it came easier to share even those concerns that you hadn't voiced out before (like as the fear of losing your best friend over something like this), and Daniel listened, asking a few guiding questions to fill the plot holes of your stories. It was actually quite deliberating talking about all of the things that had bugged you lately. Usually, you vented to your best friend, but with her still not having replied to your latest message and with her being a part of why you were upset in the first place, you couldn't do so.
"Do you want me to leave you be and not force you to talk? Or do you want me to talk about my weekend?" He offered the options before he tilted his head and added a third one. "Or maybe do you want to see new pics of my cats to cheer you up?"
Hearing his question, your lips immediately curled upwards, and your voice softened a bit when you spoke up.
"The cat pics sound the most appealing right now."
"Alright, here you go," Daniel announced with a dimpled smile as he took a hold of his phone and started going through his phone's gallery. He showed the latest pics and videos of his cats back home sleeping, playing with their toys, chasing after each other and bothering his mother while she was trying to watch a movie. You found yourself smiling and giggling at what he showed you, and when he reached the end of his new photos, he looked up at you and merely stared at you, an expectant smile hiding in the corner of his lips.
"Thank you for these. You are, without a doubt, the only person who can make me smile right now," you admitted honestly, and earned a more shy version of his previous smile. He didn't even have time to comment on it though because the professor walked in, but it was enough how he comforted you with his words, with his silence and with his presence. He was a great person, and you were glad to have him in your life.

Kim minji x r!reader
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Cupcakes for hyein's birthday
warnings: Just minji and reader being a loving couple, hyein's parents, danielle and haerin are cute here but not mentioned as a couple, hope you liked it! bad writing
summary :You and Minji (she didn't want to) decide to make cupcakes for Hyein's party at night! But you don't know how to cook.
Minji is green and reader is pink
Tumblr media Tumblr media
—“We should have bought ready-made cupcakes”.Minji mutters as she realizes that she's been mixing the cupcake batter for half an hour, she knew she should have bought a whisk and not beaten it with a fork, it's all her fault
"Stop your bad mood, minji! You know it wouldn't be the same as buying, it's much nicer to do it” you say while making a small pout as you add Pink food coloring to the icing that was too... soft to be in the right consistency.
"you're only saying that because danielle gave you this idea" minji murmurs once again as she sighs and stops hitting 
Minji looks away from you and then back to the penthouse and a soft frown appears on her face "that seems too soft..". then you look too and give an embarrassed smile "maybe I got the amount of milk wrong, maybe we should add more?" Minji's frown deepens and he looks away from the table as she says, "we'd better swap, yes? You try to look on your phone for how to make the batter thicker and I'll look for how to make this...cupcake frosting? thicker..."  So you sigh and nod your head visibly not so happy, when you arrive at the table with the dough you have an idea, what if you use the blender? You look at Minji and see her muttering things that you claim to understand are "we should have bought it" or changing it to "this is like water" so you decide not to disturb her, you go to the blender and put all the liquid in there, which simply it pours like water as if there was no flour inside
—“What are you doing?" you hear minji's thick voice and dripping with boredom. "i have an idea" you say as you put the blender cord in the socket and go to press the "2" button then minji looks at iyou "you closed the lid-" and then all the dough falls to the floor, and it dirty everything, the white wall, the cutlery, the countertops, all your clothes and your hair
“Ugh.....”you hear minji sigh in annoyance and you swear she would fight you right now, she leaves the table and leaves everything there and comes close to you "How does a person in their right mind forget to put the lid on?" she murmurs and places the palm of her hand on your face, seeming to examine to see if there is anything more than soft, sticky mass on your skin. “ sorry..." you mutter with an embarrassed smile then minji's gaze softens but still has a soft frown," We better ask danielle for help, it was her fault for giving you this idea, if she doesn't help we'll have to buy it for She and you say it was you who did it... the party is tonight" you sigh and nod, then minji slowly walks away and looks through the dirt "god what a mess"
Well, it didn't work, you used up the only leftover flour you had at home, Danielle pointed out to you that Minji read the recipe wrong and used unleavened flour, Minji apologized to you and admitted her mistake, she took you to a bakery to buy hyein's cupcakes and even bought you a milkshake even though you were a bit stupid...
"We're here" Minji murmurs as she looks up and sees the new jeans bedroom "finally" you sigh as Minji grabs your hand and walks into the company going to the elevator and touching the 4 button and getting into the elevator with you
 "Are you still upset?" Minji breaks the silence in the elevator and I look at the ceiling "No, why?" You speak and look at Minji and then she looks at you "You're just like Danielle, you always get upset easily" she murmurs and sees a pout on your lips "I I'm not upset, it was both of our faults, not just yours minji" minji widens her eyes a little and gives a smile "I guess so...but it was more mine" so you just roll your eyes and sigh 
When the elevator opens you find yourself face to face with Danielle and Haerin talking. when danielle looks at you an illuminating smile crosses her lips "it's good that you're alive! I thought minji-unnie had killed you..." danielle jokes and minji rolls her eyes and scoffs
Then haerin looks at you and murmurs "you guys smell like eggs.." then danielle looks at her and pushes her a little "stop it haerin!" and takes haerin's hand and then looks at you "dont mind her, she missed you" then you give her a smile and see minji looking at her with a deadly look and the two of them looking at each other "well.. why don't we go?..." you playfully break the tension and danielle agrees "it's been so long since I've seen hyein!" and you pout and you nod too, when you knock on hyein's door she automatically opens it and has the biggest smile you've ever seen "unnies!" hyein hugs danielle and haerin who stands still like a statue and then you and minji "you guys smell like eggs..." hyein frowns and covers his nose playfully
you see haerin with a smile and minji sighed excessively "come on in! oh! is this for a party?" hyein takes the bag with cupcakes from your hand and then from haerin's hand 
"oh.... the same cupcakes!" hyein asks curiously and gives a smile, you look at danielle and give a smile "damn...

that summer
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
draw me in your world, as you let yourself into mine let me be your safe haven, for I love when you shine
word count : 4.8k words
genre : fluff with a tinge of angst; your typical summer love story but haerin does not feel the same way you do for her?; runner! haerin x literature student! fem!reader; you are an overthinker and sometimes just wish you stop thinking
t/w : none :)
a/n : this is the longest i've ever written for a oneshot and honestly, i didn't want to split it up cause i wanted yall to feel the whole thing at one go. enjoy !
"haerin-ah, wait up!"
"you're just slow! we're gonna be late if we don't hurry!"
you swore you needed to wake up earlier to avoid having to rush to school, especially when haerin waits for you every day to walk together. at this point, the two of you had been running to class for three days in a row now, not walk. to your surprise, the girl has never complained or grumbled about how you would make her almost miss the bell. but then again, she's always been like that. haerin was never someone who wouid let out her anger on you or anyone in general. you've never seen her get angry, concluding that she just doesn't know how to.
the said girl turned her head around while not faltering in her rushed steps, making sure you're keeping up with her speed. but the thing is, she's the school's top runner and you barely pass your required tests for physical education. haerin knows, which was why she opted to drag you along by your hand. the sudden grab left you slightly taken aback. well, slight is an understatement, you were very taken aback. especially when you have the most obvious crush on her.
you've always had a crush on haerin ever since you were 12. it just happened so when she saved you from some bullies, aka silly boys, running away from them as you two rest at the neighbourhood playground after. she sat you on the swing while you cried in both fear and relief. but all the fear washed away when she flashed you a smile that you never forgot till this day. the way her eyes curved up and her snaggletooth showed with that big smile of hers, that's when you fell for her.
as you busied yourself in your own world, you once again arrived at the school gate right before they closed it off, with some students sighing at how they missed it by a split second behind it. a slow realization hit that you've ran to your limit, you tried taking deep breaths but it might have made it worse. sometimes you wished you were more athletic, for these kind of situations, and also to spend more time with haerin if you were in the track and field team.
"hey, try breathing with both your nose and mouth, it can help."
the girl in front of you looks unfazed, as if she just went for a relaxing morning jog. which isn't entirely wrong as you don't live too far from school. you stand up straight again, doing what she told you to. it actually did help but as she glanced at her watch, you understood what it meant.
"go on, don't be late for class because of me."
"it's fine, there's still some time. I'll go with you."
although you were very sure classes starts in 3 minutes, you didn't argue further as it just meant you get to spend more time although it's just minutes. when the two of you were put into different classes, the time spent together reduced drastically plus haerin's training after class on some days. it was just lunch and maybe weekends if she didn't have extra training. but you felt bad for wanting her to spend her only free day with you, so you try to refrain from jumping onto her bed during some weekends.
why is it so hard to just spend some time with her?
Tumblr media
lunch came. and that meant you get to see haerin again after the last time before classes started. at this point, you were just too infatuated with her that you were experiencing some sort of separation anxiety that you can't seem to quite explain. there's nothing you can do about it, you were just that in love with her.
but you did not guess for her to walk along to the cafeteria with him. him who? him, woonhak, the heartthrob who happens to be almost as good as haerin in the track and field team. everyone who sees them walking down the corridor would literally stop to look at how good they look together. it's to the point that they gush over the possible relationship they should have.
you were one of the people who'd look too, but you were always left slightly upset and heartbroken whenever you heard such comments. for sure, woonhak didn't do anything other than walk with her because he likes to ask and learn from haerin when it comes to running. there was no one to blame for your feelings except yourself. and at times, you just wished you could just like someone else cause the pain gets unbearable.
"hey froggie! how was class?"
it might sound like you're being selfish, but you wished haerin only ever smiles at you like that. that smile, the very same one you fell for and also the one that makes your heart clench a little. not to mention the nickname, it makes you feel as if she sees you nothing more than just a friend.
"the same. mr park is giving out work, again. I'm not surprised anyways."
"how about you?"
you swore you saw how her eyes sparkled a little when she started telling you about hers. but you don't feel that much good inside after.
"oh! you know woonhak right? him and I got chosen to be interviewed for a promotional video for the school."
"oh, him..."
"sorry, did you say something?"
"ah, yeah I know him."
"yup him, we agreed to meet on sunday to prepare ahead of the interview. I'm sorry if you wanted to come over."
"no don't be, it's fine. I can just work on mr park's project on sunday."
"but still, it feels weird that I won't be around."
"oh come on, it's literally just a few hours! and before you know it, you'll be back and I can come over if you want."
"this is why you're my best friend, I can always count on you."
well, that hurt a lot. you didn't know if it was intentional or just coincidental as she manages to throw your urge to confess out of the window every time it surfaces. all you could hope was that she didn't take notice of your feelings, or else you swear you'd never be able to face her again. the very last thing you need is for this friendship with her to shatter to the ground like glass. but you knew, the moment you fell for her, you were already walking on thin ice.
"what do they have for lunch today?"
"kimchi fried rice, today has your favourite strawberry milk."
picking up yours, you shaked it to tempt her to quickly go get hers and come have her food with you. and so she did.
whenever it came to her favourite food, she always looks like a cute little kitten who's hungry all the time. and when she spots them, she'd rush to get it and sit with you with an adorable smile plastered on her face as she eats or drinks away. you wish you were able to be someone who makes her that happy too, but along with those thoughts were the heavy consequences of your confession.
whatever you two have built throughout these many years will just shatter like glass, into fragile pieces that will not be able to be pieced together again. even if it could be pieced together again, nothing can stay the same.
for now, you'll keep it to yourself. nothing has shifted between you and haerin, so you shouldn't too.
Tumblr media
you have no idea what the hell you're doing right now. what kind of situation is this, you don't know.
"you told me we were gonna work on that project. as far as I know, this is not part of the project."
"I know, but just, we'll work on it after. for now, I just need you to accompany me."
"bro, this feels so illegal to be spying on someone."
"I'm just making sure that boy isn't doing anything to haerin."
"you know they're like the most shipped couple in school right? and woonhak's a really nice person."
"you never know."
all dani could do was roll her eyes at how dumb you look, she looks, with this so called disguise that barely covered their identity. she told you the shades were not it when it's practically indoors, and how it literally makes them stand out even more. at times like this, she questions herself why she's friends with you, and why she's willing to be in this with you. overall you were a great person, just not when you get too overprotective of the girl you love.
"if you're just gonna snoop around, you might as well just confess."
the moment you heard the word 'confess', the coffee you were drinking through your mouth came out through your nose. dani didn't know whether to laugh or help you wipe the table cause that was the reenactment of that 'the incredibles' meme of violet. maybe this was why she was friends with you.
"w-what do you mean?"
"you're too obvious to not notice each and every time you zoom out of class to have lunch with haerin. and zoom out again when the bell rings so you can head over to the gym hall to watch her practice."
"bro why didn't you tell me?!"
"tell you what? that you're like an idiot in love but the person you love doesn't seem to feel the same way?"
"I am not an idiot! but I definitely am in love..."
the mood suddenly shifted to somewhat gloomy as those words left your mouth. admitting that you had feelings for haerin to someone else for the first time didn't feel much extravagant than you thought. it wasn't that what you felt wasn't real or overwhelming, they very much were. but the thought of her not reciprocating them, broke you a little on the inside.
you've always imagined being by her side throughout university till the day you'd grow old and get a small house in the countryside. if it were the best friend context, things would have been fine. but you want to be there for her as someone she loves, too. as cheesy as it sounds, just the two of you against the world and no one can stop you.
reality begged to differ when you see how happy she is now as she picks up some clothes from the racks in a store. with woonhak smiling down at her. you couldn't deny that they look good together, way to good that it was believable if haerin told you they started dating after this date. the more you saw the two of them together, the more it was harder to imagine you being the one who would be making her happy.
although you've known her for so long, you weren't one to express your feelings through words. 'actions speak louder than words' was the motto you've lived with all this time. but this love thing takes more than that. being a literature student did not help with that vast range of vocabulary cause there was no point of preparing a confession. it has to come from the heart, and that's what makes it so hard.
"..."
"they left by the way."
your head whipped to the direction of the store they were in, and the last spot you saw them at was indeed empty.
"let's go then! you better saw where they are heading."
not even allowing dani to finish her chocolate drink, you dragged her along to chase after the two. they were definitely fast, very fitting to be in the track and field team. and dani did not sign up for this.
Tumblr media
in the end, dani had to drag you out of that mall before you ended up actually stalking those two poor souls. you were definitely not pleased with that decision but you two had a project to attend to, so you placed whatever that's disturbing to the back of your head. although it was sort of futile.
"well, at least we got half of this done, sorta."
"we can meet again tomorrow after school to finish it up if you want."
the australian squinted her eyes at you, as if trying to question your intention. she had the right to after what you pulled off today.
"for real, this time. I kinda want to get this over with and watch haerin practice."
"you better keep your promise."
giving a salute, all dani could do was chuckle at your attempt to lighten the mood with your antics. how can she not love someone like you when all you do was make everyone around you smile?
"hey, do you think it's possible that haerin would have feelings for me? even the slightest bit?"
"I don't see why not. you're a nice kid."
"the definition of nice is different for everyone, and so it is for me."
the older took a seat next to you on the bed, putting down her books on your study desk. when the topic about your feelings for haerin surface each time, you can't help but let your real self seep out a little, the happy-go-lucky facade faltering.
"you know, you don't have to be nice to be liked by anyone."
"but that doesn't mean I can be bad either."
"you know I don't mean it that way. it's just that, whether the person is nice or not, if you like them, you just do."
"that's true..."
it was feeling a little weird to talk about this with someone, but you were glad that it was dani. she was like an older sister figure that you could rely on whenever you needed her.
"you love haerin. and do you love her because she's nice? or because it's her?"
as you registered her words in your brain, you couldn't help but feel hopeful all over again, even after seeing those two at the mall today. maybe, they really are just friends. maybe, haerin does like you a little. maybe, you should confess.
you were so lost in your own thoughts that you couldn't feel the presence next to you, slowly clasping your hands. dani looked at you really endearingly, as if you were the person she cherished the most in the world.
"whatever you do, I'd be here to support, okay?"
giving her a reassuring nod and grin, dani's heart swelled at how your mood was lifted again. all she wants to see was you smile, regardless of who's behind it.
"FROGGIE!"
the shout from across your bedroom door grabbed your attention as your eyes darted towards it. as it swung open, the very person you two were talking about barged through to throw you into a hug. along with dani cause haerin knows her too.
"unnie! what are you doing here? the project?"
"hmm, we were just tidying up cause it's getting late."
the older slipped out from the embrace to finish packing her stuff to leave those two to their own world. maybe one day, she'd be able to find someone she loves too.
"bye unnie!"
"dani, I'll let you know what time tomorrow."
"yup sure, just ping me when you're done."
as dani left when she saw your thumbs up, you're tackled into another hug. you were wondering why she was being extra clingy after that date with woonhak. did woonhak confess to her? was she being shy about it? is she gonna tell you something? you were overthinking a lot of things and it wasn't a good sign cause that just means you're going to start doubting every single action haerin takes.
"I missed you."
you wish you would just disintegrate into dust at this very moment. everything that has happened today had already put your brain and feelings into overdrive. and for her to say this, made your heart feel heavier than ever. you didn't know why, it just didn't feel all that good although you did miss her too. but the words just can't seem to fall from your lips.
all you could do was look away and nod. because if you were to look at her, you think you are going to cry and confuse her even further.
"I should go shower first, it's been a long day."
"then we can cuddle!"
haerin slipped away from the embrace into your bathroom. with her belongings scattered around your room, it makes you feel even dizzier from all these crashing feelings. it's as if you are itching to confess to her or else you'd combust for real. that was why you could only keep your mouth shut, or everything would be over.
for now again, you try your best to act normal in front of her. for your own sake, for her sake, and to keep this friendship the way it has been this whole time.
Tumblr media
everything went on like normal. you and dani wrapped up that damn project mr park gave, having lunch with haerin every day, spending your time watching her practice, hanging out every weekend. but as haerin's competition was approaching, she spends more time at the gym hall, even during weekends at times. you can't blame her when she's the top in her team.
this competition was utmost important for her as many big companies scout at this particular one. meaning that if she does well, she may have a chance of signing with one. but that means that she would have to move to the city if that does happen.
you were afraid to lose her. sure, you two would still be friends even if she was miles away. so that's exactly what you're afraid of, staying friends. you knew you had no guts to confess to her anytime soon. if haerin leaves, you will still be here. you can't imagine how it will be without her, because you've spent your entire life with her by your side.
even today, you're in your room as haerin is training more as days are left till the competition. divided between confessing or not, you wrote down all the things you want to get for her on your laptop. the tomato frog that she loves so much, a printed sweater with a cat, a couple bracelet that she had her eye on last month. you remembered everything like you knew the back of your hand. it wasn't intentional, but you just did. not to mention that you had quite bad memory that you took a week to remember your seatmate's name.
you were going to do it. you were going to confess. it took you years to finally make that decision and you want it to be perfect. what did it mean by perfect, you don't know. it was your first time, but you just wanted it to be from the bottom of your heart. regardless of whether haerin would reciprocate the feelings, you came to an agreement with yourself that it was fine if she didn't. she was going to move away when she wins that competition so it would just mean that you two stay friends. friends who are apart from each other.
although it may take time to heal, it was going to be fine. not everything in life can go smoothly, and you were willing to take the risk. it was unfair for both you and her. you couldn't pretend any longer that you saw her as a friend, when the way you treat her is definitely more than one. and she deserves to know what you feel for her, with no secrets kept between the two of you.
D-10.
Tumblr media
"WOONHAK! GOOD LUCK!"
"YOU'RE GONNA DO GREAT BRO!"
"HAERIN-AH! SLAY IT!"
"HWAITING!"
screams and shouts from both sides of your ears were definitely gonna leave them ringing for some time. of course you weren't going to miss haerin's big day. you were beyond proud that she made it to the finals after beating her opponents in the semifinals. quarters were a piece of cake since she was a whole second ahead of everyone.
it was no doubt when she held the fastest record for 100m among the schools here. the agents definitely had their eyes on her the entire time, it just depends on who she chooses.
you didn't really like going out for events like these but she was an exception. although you weren't screaming your lungs out for her, you caressed that ring on your finger very dearly. the ring haerin got you when you two got into the same high school, calling it "the lucky ring". whenever there were big happenings, you'd wear it, feeling that she was with you through them. this time, you wore it so she could feel that you were with her.
"ON YOUR MARK."
the determination on haerin's face didn't go unnoticed even if you were nowhere close to the tracks. and when she flashed that smile at you before the whistle went off, you cried softly into your hands.
you love her so much. so much that this was going to be the last time you two were going to be friends. friends who grew up together, playing with puddles at the playground. finding restaurants to visit together. laughing at stupid videos in bed. taking pictures and videos of each other when one is sleeping. all those days were going to be a memory. a sweet memory for you to look back at after this day.
Tumblr media
reporters swarmed the winner of the competition, blocking the pathway for the others who could only sigh at their defeat. some were lucky with outstanding performance.
"could you tell us what's your future plans after this?"
"will you be signing with Krux? we saw their agent approach you personally."
"is it possible to know who kim woonhak is to you?"
"i'm sorry everyone but haerin will be heading off first, any questions will be answered by me."
the coach pushed haerin into the locker room before locking everyone outside with him. she let out the breath even she didn't know she was holding.
"so, who is kim woonhak to you?"
the noise was starting to die down outside as the reporters were led to a different room for interview. the silence was growing deafening as those words echoed across the empty room.
"you're my friend."
"damn, I really didn't have a chance, did I?"
"you know that very well. plus, there's a whole line waiting to date you so why waste your time on me?"
haerin couldn't bother, as she had something better to do and someone better to be with.
"sunbae, you do know I don't like you anymore right? not after you turned down my confession the other day."
"I was just making sure. I've seen too many of you playboys in action."
"oh come on, I'm not a playboy!"
woonhak was someone who was very responsive to teases, and haerin takes every chance she gets to tease the hell out of him. if anything, he was like a brother to her and she was like a sister to him. in fact, both of them decided to sign with the same company since they were offered. it was always good to have someone on your side in the sports world.
"I know, I was just messing with you. now get out, coach probably needs you."
"why me when the winner is right here chilling?"
"because you're gonna answer on my behalf."
the scene that was unfolding could easily be misunderstood if walked in at the wrong timing. and someone did just that. but what haerin didn't expect was that you walked in on them, seemingly laughing and smacking each other, like a couple. well, it did look like that to you at least.
you felt like you were interrupting something, so you dashed out of there as quick as you could. your eyes were stinging as the humid wind cut through your tears that were threatening to fall. although haerin was deemed the winner today, you were zooming past people faster than she could, as if in denial that you lost even before getting a chance to tell her.
it was getting more and more suffocating as the people around you were overwhelming. although you could breathe better when you reached the tracks, taking in the view of the vast field, it was too much that you had to hit your chest to let out some suppressed cries.
just as you felt slightly better, you felt a pair of arms swinging across your sides from behind, trapping you with them. you didn't even need to see who it is, as their scent invaded your senses, carrying familiarity with it.
"haerin-ah, congratulations! I'm so proud of you."
you turned around to bring her into a hug, but also hiding the fact you were crying because things were to change today.
"thank you, I wouldn't have done it without you."
"no, don't say that. you.. did it because you trained very hard for this. and you'll be achieving your dreams."
"you did do something for me, you were there for me. I saw you at the bleachers and that made me more determined to win."
"why are you crying, froggie? don't cry, we'll still see each other."
haerin cupped your face with her hands to wipe the tears off of your face. but that just hit the nail on the coffin, meaning that she would sign and leave for the city. which was now or never.
"haerin-ah."
"hmm?"
the endearing look in her face as she looks at you was more than enough to let you know she would be here for you no matter what. even as just a friend. although it was starting to rain, you knew you had to do it now. the words were getting stuck in your throat as it started to get dry. but, you were going to do it still.
"I love you."
"huh?"
the confusion on her face hurt you more than it should. you should know that she does not feel the same way you did for her. you should know that she was probably already dating woonhak after what you saw earlier. you should know-
"I love you too."
it was the first time you have ever seen that smile on her face. a grin so wide, it's like she's the happiest girl in the world. the most crescent eyes you've seen on her, as if she's staring at the girl she loves.
wait. she said she loves you too.
the sunshower was drenching the two of you but you couldn't give a damn about it. she said she loves you. she reciprocated your feelings. but you were having a very hard time trying to wrap your head around it.
"I love you too, you silly."
her laughter tickled your ears as you stood there frozen. your dumb reaction had her swaying you around with her in the rain as the sun was blinding through the droplets. just as she stopped to look at you again, you still had that bewildered face.
"I thought you were dating woonhak..."
"me? and that idiot? babe, you gotta be kidding me."
the sudden endearment had your cheeks flare up as you bury your head in her shoulder, in attempt to cover your face. but your ears were shooting bright red too, earning an earthy laughter from haerin, you could feel it through the embrace.
"so that means we're dating right?"
she looked at you with a shocked face before peppering kisses all over your cheeks.
"yes, of course froggie. unless you wanna get married."
the attempt at humor cracked both of you up, but you knew that was something you see happening in the future. but for now, everything was perfect. you were perfect, and haerin's urge to kiss you was too strong at that moment.
"can I kiss you?"
all you could do was nod and as her lips touched yours, that's when things were sinking in for you. your hands slowly draped over her neck as you pulled her closer to feel the longing for her warmth grow stronger. the sunshower painted over you and her, but you couldn't care less about what's around you when the most important person is in front of you. it was true that today was the last day you two were friends, but blossomed into a new beginning as each other's love.
as you pulled back to breathe, you two had your eyes closed, foreheads touching. although no words were exchanged, you knew, many more summers were to be spent with the love of your life.
it was the summer rain, the summer rain when haerin fell for you as you held her hand and ran in the rain back home.
that summer you fell for her too.

can i request for newjeans x reader when their s/o is smart, has a cute eyesmile with dimples, a hopeless romantic, probably a nerdy partner whose very mature? thank you!
a/n: not writing for my kiddo hyein! might add platonic hyein on a later date
Anon.. are u insinuating you’re all of the above? Dimples? Cute eyesmile? Nerdy? Smart? You’re mighty fine.
Minji
Have you seen how she reacts when Hanni initiates skinship with her? Not the most touchy person, me thinks, but would love to hold you close regardless, preferably looping your hands around each others’ when reading or in the car ( because she wants to appear calm and collected, she would not be able to concentrate if u pull out surprise kisses)
Quick reflexes- the sort that catches you when you fall, catches your phone mid air when it falls, puts a hand around sharp corners of furniture you’re around
Would totally handle a dramatic or even awkward s/o well, have you seen the girls she lives with…
Would find you endearing if you’re too shy to make the first move, and would totally entertain you if you turn out to be very expressive
Eye Smile(s) on 3..2..1..
Both minji and your smiles would emanate so much light, she thinks your eye smile is very endearing, would probably take a polaroid to keep the memory fresh and lovely for when she needs it
Would be so excited she has her own set of dimples to poke-(not on her face but yours), would be such a curious girl, always wanting to touch it or would very unlike herself, doing something dumb to make you smile and show your dimples to her
I actually think minji has a jealous streak.. If she sees you, albeit jokingly, acting out romantic tv lines with another member, she’d not want to show her jealousy, but it wouldn’t take long for you to find out 
She appreciates emotional maturity, intellectual depth
In essence, she’s appreciative of how you take care of her when she is willing to be vulnerable around you
You know when she wants to talk, you’re mature enough to listen to whatever she has to talk about without laughing, she would genuinely want to just get it over and done with when talking about what upsets her, would not want to ruminate on negative thoughts
I would think intellectually stimulating conversations about whatever subject matter would be something she genuinely values 
She likes when you can hold your ground, support your argument by reasoning well, that you aren’t easily influenced by groundless assumptions. 
She’d love to have these conversations with her members as well, but I think with how hard she can be on herself it may lead to the result of her members overthinking, so she turns to you. 
Academic rivals turned friends could very well be possible here with how competitive she is..
May have expounded more on intellect because that’s what I like as well hehe
Hanni 
The dynamic I see would totes be failing student x top student here 
I see her as not a dumb student, but one that procrastinates a lot and flips through a page or two of her books before the exam
Doing revision with her while you focus on grading her work and she focuses on the dimples that show even when you frown, giggles
The sort to get you kicked out of the library on accident 
She would be so proud of you when grade rankings are made public to the entire school and you always place number one
“MY Y/N GOT FIRST PLACE AGAIN”
Would tell everyone and their mama about it
Will melt when she sees you, a student from another discipline, taking up extra classes or doing research to be able to coach her on a paper to save her grade.
Grateful towards you that you give in to her requests and shelter her even if you know you don’t have to, even if you’re happy to
Getting her snacks, giving her your sweaters even when you’re cold, pretending you’re not affected by the a/c blasting cold air onto you during study dates
Probably has you geeking out over something as her chat wallpaper unbeknownst to you 
Random, but asks you to hold 423 things for her because she loses her things easily, yet you know where every single item is
Hopeless romantic x hopeless romantic, thing one and thing two
Ice cream dates
You’d suggest a cafe and ask her come along to try out a new flavour, she’d probably eat so messily yet not bring along tissues and you’d have to use a handkerchief to wipe off the ice cream that found it way to her cheek, while she looks at you with those eyes 
Likes your eye smile so much, if it’s not only reserved for her she might lowkey pretend to be upset about it 
HATES IT when she sees you outright being taken advantage of.
You being you take it to the next level by writing notes for other students in class to aid their understanding yet they don’t take you seriously and continue asking for your help at times, being very confusing 
You’d have to hold her back from beating up every single one of them, and she would be so angry on your behalf yet cherish you even more because of how unconditionally kind you are
Use your big brain to your advantage, engage with her when she rambles on about what she overthinks about, yet guide her to focus her energy on self improvement rather than self blame, if any
Danielle
Sunshine and sunshine protector, nothing else
Miss Danielle loves listening and sharing her little observations, so her partner having so much knowledge would be so attractive, she knows she can rely on you if she wants to find out more about her topic of interest.
Hear me out here…
She would probably make a powerpoint about your subject of interest on special days, and try to learn about what you like, but get a fact or two wrong but you’d be so encouraged by her efforts. 
Being brought up to be very loving, Dani would be comfortable expressing her cheeky side with you.. Ever seen her as a kid? Lowkey chaotic
So it's no surprise if she knits you something, you wear it for important events, even if it sounds cringe, for competitions and all that.
Theatre kid Dani will not let you be a hopeless romantic on your own, you have my word
I would think she know how to ground herself, enjoy alone time, but when she misses you or wants you around she lets you know upfront, very communicative 
She may be young and has lots to learn, but she’s very humble and earnest in wanting to grow with you
She wouldn’t be afraid of communicating across her anxieties with growing up, hate, or even when there are disputes within the members, partly because she knows you can be trusted, and you always manage to comfort her
Nothing but continual praises for your dimples on Phoning, will probably ask you to show her your dimples 4323 times a day, has a picture of you everyday with an eye smile, so many she could probably make a calendar out of it, but you’d do anything she asks
Will turn into a ball of mush if you make sudden eye contact with her and show that glorious eye smile of yours
Haerin
Quiet kid haerin x nerd that is so cute cmon
She would probably be dozing off in class, and when she gets called to answer a question she freezes
You jump to her rescue by pointing out that there’s a flaw in the question and sit down immediately
Her eyes become glued to you for the rest of the day, while you tell yourself you must be dreaming when you feel a pair of feline eyes on you 
“Cute” she thinks when she sees your eye smile after seeing a big red 100 on your script, not knowing she says it out loud, she wonders why you’re turning so red and is currently using your script to cover your face. 
Excuse me as I digress but…
VANESSA KANG x nerd (hmmm stuco treasurer and stuco secretary in an elite school)
I pulled this out my ass but might end up writing a whole fic for it
Only started talking because they are the admin backbones of stuco, and eventually it blooms into a r/s
Your positions were always thought to be background work, but in reality you have to plan so much and bear the brunt of the teachers’ wrath when something unexpected happens and the school’s reputation is at stake
Many many breakdowns and restless nights ensued, and late night calls between the two of you to plan out school events took place
Though you two were not the most sociable, your eye smile was pretty lethal, and she fell for it as well
She may or may not have given in to her intrusive thoughts one day, and reached out to poke your cheek because she though it looked so soft it’d feel like bread dough
You found it utterly adorable, and her little actions always seemed to be so subtle yet eye catching to you
You could live with not watching hunks play basketball during recess but you couldn’t miss haerin’s escapades to the nearby park during break, in fact, you’d probably accompany her
Tying her laces, afraid she falls
Letting her doodle all over your notes and joining her with coming up with ridiculous names for the doodles
The sort of couple that will name a cat dog and a dog cat.
I honestly think that haerin has her own way of feeling out whether or not someone is a good match for her, and that is how they can manage to be on the same linguistic wavelength; how they can reciprocate with her energy and how spontaneous they can become. Hence, I didnt really focus on physical traits so much with haerin, and I think the same goes with Danielle.

WANNA BE YOURS~
Genre:- fluff ,povs of both yeonjun & reader; drabble
Yeonjun x gn!reader
(Like share and follow if you liked this, the extended version of this is on my instagram:- tubatudiaries
First part is up be sure to check it out thank you <33 enjoy:))
Tumblr media Tumblr media
You still remember the day when you went to Starbucks after work and he walked past you for the first time and the thumping of your heart against your chest became too loud. You looked at his body which was sculptued like a greek god and his foxy eyes were mesmerizing, his face itself was a piece of art and his smile was like a beam of sunlight illuminating the darkest corners of the room. It was that moment you realised you were in love with him. The glitter in your eyes whenever you saw him while you were waiting for his iced Americano. Since you were staring too hard at him, he glanced at you and everything stopped that moment, the world became hazy and he was the only person you could see. Yeonjun too was lost in your eyes.
Your turn came and saw you both staring at each other which seemed for forever , a chuckle left the barista's mouth and she said "here's your iced americano miss/mr y/n"
a chuckle left the barista's mouth and she said "here's your iced americano miss/mr y/n"
As soon as he heard your name, he had engraved it in his mind . Hearing that you too ordered iced americano made him think you were the one for him and left the coffee shop after taking his iced americano , while waiting for you outside.
You thought to yourself " How can someone look so ethereal? God really has his favourites" . Then you talked to yourself letting your thoughts out loud " I wish I could meet him again, but seems like life has other plans" You let out a sigh but then remembered "aahh but he looked at me straight in my eye, he noticed me " And thinking about this incident made you blush which now made your face red.
Yeonjun saw it and heard it all, stomach filled with butterflies he left promising to return to the same coffee shop and will initiate a conversation.
Next day, he came right on time , ordered his regular and looked left and right. You were fifteen minutes late and in those fifteen minutes yeonjun was deciding whether to stay or leave, but of course our lovely junnie stayed .
As soon as you entered the coffee shop, both of you were blushing hard, you tried to look away.
Yeonjun being confident as he is waited for you outside, he started a conversation ,but you couldn't look at him straight in his eyes as you became a blushing mess
You both kept meeting same time same place and since you had exchanged your numbers you both texted often too.
After a month of getting to know each other, he sent a message you were waiting for the most

Paranoia? Or truth?
Folklore
Word count 307
Tumblr media
              The Changeling.
❓Are you a witch or
Are you a fairy?
Or are you the wife
of Michael Cleary?❓
A changeling, also historically referred to as an auf or oaf, is a human-like creature found in folklore throughout Europe. A changeling was believed to be a fairy that had been left in place of a human (typically a child) stolen by other fairies.
🧚‍♀️🧚‍♂️🧚‍♀️🧚‍♂️🧚‍♀️🧚‍♂️🧚‍♀️🧚‍♂️🧚‍♀️🧚‍♂️🧚‍♀️🧚‍♂️
Bronchitis? Staring at the sick sleeping form on the bed, is that what it is? Or something else? Her attitude and personality has changed especially towards me Daniel thinks to himself. She looks the same, even smells the same as he sniffs her hair, but she has changed! Did they get her? The little ones! Is she a Changeling?
🧚‍♂️
Fever! Her body is hot, coughing non stop coughing! Is her body trying to expel the parasite? Daniel stays by her side  the ever  vigilant boyfriend. Am I paranoid? What if I am not? I have to save her! Antidote! She needs the antidote, the antibiotics are not working!
Tumblr media
Lusmore tea, foxglove, she needs to drink this. "It's spicy!" 
Drink it " "its bitter" 
Why is she defying me when I am trying to help her?
"Daniel what is this?"
"Are you trying to poison me?"
How could she say such a thing? I'm only trying to save her? I will have to go to plan b . Heat need heat, "why is it so hot in here?" Daniel muses better than plan c, urine.
Tumblr media
I think it's working, she must realize  I'm doing this for her own good. Fire would be better but well I have to work with what I got.
"You're cured! I saved you!" Daniel smiles. 
"Cured? Saved me?"
"Changeling! I saved you"
"The antibiotics are finally working"
"Hey don't look at me like that, I'm not paranoid!" Daniel states.

Cheritz's changes in staff over the lifetime of The Ssum
I wanted to write a post about this because it was the nail in the coffin convincing me that The Ssum won't get better. I really want to be optimistic, I was for the first year of the game's release. But with how hard they're fumbling June's route, and having some context by seeing the dramatic changes that happen behind the scenes, I don't have any hope for the game's future in its original concept.
So here's a big fat list of credits, comparison of them, and my own stupid commentary.
A comparison of the beta OPs credits (2018) vs the new OP credits (April 2022)
Project Directed by-
Sujin Ri (this stays constant)
Project Managed by-
Heinrich Dortmann (this stays constant during the time periods I'm comparing- we'll come back to this later)
Character Model by-
Yuseung An (this credit never appears again so uhhhh)
Game Designed by-
Yoonji Shin, Haeyoung Go (this credit also never appears again)
Project Assisted by-
2018:
Youngtak Lee, Heetae Lee, Yeonwoo Jung, Kyungha Kim, Kyungho Kim, Jihyun Jang, Hyejin Hong, Daniel Hong, Seungiim(?) Hwang, Dakyoung Lee
April 2022:
Heetae Lee, Junghee Choi
Art illustrated by-
2018:
Ilbo Sim, Jinhee Lee, Jihyeon Choi, Hyunju Na, Juhul Kim, Jaehee Hwang, Mirae Kang
April 2022:
Ilbo Sim, Jihyeon Choi, Minji Kim, Mirae Kang, Youngjoo You, Yura Lee
Programmed by-
2018:
Mansu Park, Marcos Arroyo, Rachel Tay, Soonyong Hong, Seungjin Lee, Myungjun Choi
April 2022:
Gunsoo Lee, Kukhwa Park, Moonhyuk Jang, Myungjun Choi, Seungjin Lee, Wonbok Lee, Youngkwon Jeon
Scenario Written by-
2018:
Jinseo Park, Minjeong Kim, E Hyun Kim, Eunchong Jang
April 2022:
Jinseo Park, Lilly Hwang, Minjung Kim, Saerom Shin, Summer Yoon, Youngran Moon
Language Localized by-
2018:
Sunhee Moon, Minkyung Chi, Sungjae Choi, Junhee Kim
April 2022:
Minkyung Chi, Pilhwa Hong, Saenanseul Kim, Sorim Byeon
Sound Resourced by-
2018:
(N/A)
April 2022:
Songhee Kim
Customer Service/Communication with Users by-
2018:
Sunkyeong Yun, Hyeseon Yang
April 2022:
Donghee Yoon, Joyce Hong, Sanghee An, Subin Kim
Credits from 2019
Tumblr media
These are in the lyric booklet included in the Teo Love Bundle. Strangely enough, I'm already seeing differences between the 2018 credits and 2019. Uh oh?
As of release + a few months
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
These screenshots don't feature all the credits, unfortunately. I'm relying on screenshots someone else took because I'm not proactive but hindsight is 20/20.
Changes: Project is no longer managed by Heinrich Dortmann, instead by Juho Woo. Scenario team cut down to 2 people, one of which is a new name (Jooyoung Lim). Art team also cut down to 2 people. Sound is no longer resourced by Songhee Kim, but Jaeryeon Park and ROGIA. All new team of directing assistants as well, it expanded to 4 people but they're all new names. 2 fewer programmers, only one of the listed names was already working.
October 2023 (June's release)
Here's where it somehow gets worse lol.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Changes: A lot. Directing assisted by 1 person. They were not a part of the team credited in the OP. Down to 3 programmers, only 1 being in the OP. Entirely new art team! It's up to 4 people, but all of them are new, even compared to only a few months prior. Down to 1 scenario writer pobrecita (but we're coming back to that). Since I don't have screenshots of the project assistant credits from launch, can't say anything for that, except that Gui Zhenghao is new compared to the OP but the number of staff there remained the same. Flaming Heart is gone for the BGM! He's been working with Cheritz for forever but is gone now. One person from the communication team left, so they're down to 2. That would explain why emails have been slower since October. Only 1 translator, though Cheritz is now looking to recruit new ones.
Important note:
According to Cheritz's post acknowledging their use of gAI, Sujin Ri was not involved in writing season 1 of the game, but IS the main writer for season 2. I won't make a rant about how much I hate what she's writing cuz this isn't the post for that, but it explains why season 2 is so vastly different.
The fact that only a few people (like, in the lower single digits) remain even from 2019/early 2022, let alone who's still around from 2018, is really frustrating for the game. The game started with one vision, but now it's being turned into something completely different. Even the app's functions are inconsistant between season 1 and 2 (and a little so between Harry and Teo). According to an email I got from Cheritz, season 2 takes place a few years before season 1. Just sit with that knowledge for a bit :P. It's like the current people in charge of The Ssum (*cough Sujiin Ri*) couldn't be bothered to keep the original concept in mind, let alone how the timeline would work.
This post was a long time coming, I was caught up in just how bizarre this all is and finding tons of stuff that I haven't even included in the post. Writing this has taken about 3 hours (including the time I spent on a post ONLY FOR TUMBLR TO NOT WANNA WORK PROPERLY WHEN I TRIED TO POST IT SO IT GOT DELETED) and uhhh yeah. Now I gotta wait a few years to ask former staff if their NDAs are expired yet LOL

Hello! Can i request for a dating James lee/ DG hc?
Like the reader is big fangirl of james since their highschool years, she just adores whatever he does and literally believes he can do no wrong (she does stop him from doing what she thinks is not good for him or his future)
The reader isn't a fighter but more like Eugene, a better eugene who brings strong allies on her side but they alliance isn't forced and she isn't black mailing anyone unless they are DG/James's enemy
James has also being whipped for the reader since the beginning without her figuring out, she just thought she was too annoying and clingy for anyone to like so she never even approached James once. She knew what he was doing and even helped him alot, so James was the one to approach her first as James lee and helped her by boosting her confidence and took care of people responsible for this, (whenever they appeared)
James doesn't come between when someone insults the reader unless it is a physical fight.
[Sorry if its too much! Please delete this if you don't feel comfortable! Do not take any pressure from this]
Not at all - and thanks for the ask! I've never really thought much of DG lol. I described him as a plain wet noodle of a man here lol... But this actually popped some ideas in my head?!
ngl, found this difficult and hard to make him in character. Not sure I succeeded. Here's a little scenario for you... Uh, enjoy?
DG x Reader: Daniel Park
Pre-PTJ Entertainment Arc. You have some concerns
Tumblr media
"What about Daniel Park?" James lounges on the chair in front of you, his body poised as if waiting for a photographer.
You try to suppress a snort at his posing. He has wholly embraced the persona of DG, the K-Pop idol. No matter how much he has changed, you still remember him as your delinquent James Lee. The same boy that would scribble immature notes to you in class and protect you from assholes. "I've got a bad feeling about him," your eyes continue scanning the screen as you scroll through documents and intel. There was surprisingly little on this Daniel Park. And he lives with someone else called Daniel Park? Something seems off.
"Oh?"
"Yeah. I can't pinpoint it. I just think there's something going on."
Forever trusting your instinct and advice, James nods. "Sure. I'll keep an eye on him."
"You should keep him on side... just in case. Keep him sweet."
"Like how I keep you sweet?"
You look up from your files to see James with a teasing smirk on his lips but undeniable fondness in his eyes. He steals a kiss.
Whether he is James Lee or Diego Kang, you can't deny how well he takes care of you. He has always been aloof and arrogant, but you are his one soft spot he keeps shielded from the world.
He has defended you ever since you were in school together, and safeguarded you even as he ascended to fame and fortune as DG. But you know, and he knows, you are his absolute confidant. You know all his secrets and he knows yours.
You pull away giggling and ruffling his ridiculous pink hair, "You should definitely only do that with me."
"Hmm. Guess I'll have to think of other ways... Speaking of keeping you sweet-" Your ears perk at his sudden change in tone, "-I heard there might be a spot opening up for the CEO of PTJ Entertainment... and a No.2."
"What?! Really?"
"Yeah, I heard Charles Choi is looking to make some moves soon. So what do you think, I become CEO and you join me?"
You see the same light in his eyes as you did back then."You wouldn't mind working with me everyday?"
"Nope."
"And seeing me around all day everyday?"
"Nope"
He really does keep you sweet.

you're beautiful
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I love the way that you're designed, love the way we intertwine still don't need a reason why, you're beautiful and now you're mine
word count : 3.8k words
genre : fluff between an intriguing human and a soft cupid; uni student! reader x cupid! danielle; your visit to the art exhibition had you meet a beautiful stranger and ditch your errand for a friend. it felt so wrong but it never felt so good
t/w : none :) other than fake attempted murder, i don't think so?
a/n : AYO HOOMANS I AM BACK ! not for good BUT i will be here until life decides to be shit to me again :') dear readers who have waited for a new fic, here you go with sugar, spice and everything nice 🤍 wishing everyone a belated happy new years and enjoy !
'beauty is just a state of mind.'
it was something subjective for you and so was everything that revolved around the topic of art. and yes, you would like to highlight the word 'was', because a stranger at this art exhibition got you to whisper 'beautiful' under your breath, despite not needing to as the crowd had covered your voice entirely, effortlessly.
amongst everyone that had been present here, among all the pieces of artwork from nameless artists, among all the different voices that had registered in your brain. none of anything you knew could accumulate to the beauty taking each step to admire the artwork in front of her that expressed vibrant colors resembling the sun.
many surrounding you were curators scouring for the next big thing, also known as bright young talents to be exploited from. to be frank, not all of them carried such ill intentions, but you had to be brutal as you witnessed from a first row seat as to how vile these people can be. a friend of yours was an aspiring artist, and you were glad to be there to drag them out of the mess they unfortunately got into.
all those reminiscing thoughts were thrown out of the window when you stumbled upon this young lady from across the hall. her dark brown hair cascaded on her shoulders, curled perfectly as it accompanied the color of her pupils. those orbs pulled you in further, as if you had a spell casted upon you.
mesmerized. even this word could not express the way your eyes followed every movement of this stranger. your initial purpose for being here was immediately replaced by her, making your brain hardwired into getting to know her by the end of this exhibition. this may include entirely ignoring your friend's request to keep an eye out on their work which may be displayed.
that was the last thing on your list, sorry not sorry to that friend. as the lady moved on from that one painting onto another in a different room, your feet matched her pace, treading not too far, nor too close. although the exhibition was the highlighted event of the museum, works from the Renaissance period were permanently available for visitors.
as she slipped into a group of people, she disappeared out of your sight, despite you not tearing your gaze away. 'surprisingly skilled,' you thought. why was there a crowd all of a sudden? perhaps it might be due to the present docent, fluently explaining about this huge painting. but nothing had registered in your mind, all of your attention only on this entrancing stranger, finding her once again on the other end of the crowd, seemingly to be lost in her own thoughts.
you don't even notice the crowd dispersing as the docent brings them to a different painting, which is probably another painting depicting Eros and Psyche. this marked your eighteenth time in this very section of the museum that you knew the layout of it like the back of your hand. but all those weren't important.
as much as you were charmed by this stranger, she was too, fascinated by this particular painting of Eros and Psyche. the sparkles flickering in those orbs could not be mistaken as the two of you remained stoned in your spots. so close, yet so far. maybe, just maybe, she was your Eros. shot you with her one of her arrows, leaving you hopelessly in love. hopelessly in love with her, and you are more than grateful to be.
as she breaks her concentration from the painting, the very orbs of the lady that you were staring at for the past five minutes shifted over to meet yours. the moment you knew she had acknowledged your presence, it felt as if wind had been knocked out of your lungs.
she was breathtaking.
with how you were so blatantly staring at her without even caring if she had noticed the intensity of it, she returned your gesture with a small smile before leaving you in front of that painting. when you've realized that you had to go after that mysterious lady, you whipped your head towards the direction she went, only to find that she was nowhere to be seen already.
nothing could be comprehended as of that moment you were bewitched. completely forgetting about your friend's request to look for their piece, you headed home aimlessly. freshened up and the evening glow seeped through your blinds, your eyes wandered across your clean white ceiling. your mind had only been filled with thoughts and images of the lady at the exhibition.
every time you closed your eyes in the shower, the small smile you had received flashes upon you, putting you into a turmoil. a turmoil on how someone so beautiful, so angelic can exist. you don't even know how to get in touch with her, when all you have is her appearance embedded in your mind, carved into stone as you slowly invite this stranger into your life willingly.
for today, you put behind the plans of finding her. if fate decides to play cupid, you'll let them do its job, certainly. but perhaps you had already been shot with an arrow to your heart. and if you knew, you were accepting it with pleasure anyways.
Tumblr media
"bro, I've probably left 20 missed calls for you. where the hell were you?"
at this point, it was a daily routine of you trudging into your friend's studio after work followed by her nagging about everything. this time, it seems to be about you not picking up your phone, which you had a very good reason for.
"my bed, it was a tiring day."
you swung your bag down, leaning it against the couch before flopping on it. as it made a squeaking noise from your impact, you could feel her heated glare at you without even being able to see her. technically, you did ditch the museum and not answer her calls while she had already asked you for a favor, in return for that t-shirt you wanted from her closet. you guess you were still getting something, which was her nagging for an entire week on why you shouldn't break promises.
"not cool? you said you were gonna check out the exhibition. and I did ask if you could look out for my painting."
"I did go, I just forgot about the thing, you know."
her chair dragged along the floor and that was your cue to flee from her and the palette knife in her hand as she attempts to murder you.
"minji, calm down. I can just ask my sister to contact the responsible curator if they placed it up or not. easy."
although your dear friend was a kind soul, she can't stand it when things don't go the way she wants it to, especially when it was within her control. well, it was within your control but that wasn't the main point here. getting minji to put her palette knife down was.
"you wouldn't have needed to do that if you didn't forget."
as much as minji tried to look like she was being serious with her palette knife pointed at you, she just could never look intimidating to you.
"I mean, I didn't want to but I just happened to?"
her eyebrows raised at you, demanding an explanation which you were going to give anyways.
"I was... distracted."
"by?"
"someone."
"who?"
"I don't know."
"are you serious?"
"100 percent."
all minji could do was roll her eyes at your weird antics of having the most bizarre answers to her questions at times. she gave you another chance to explain yourself on why you went off the radar yesterday. she placed her palette knife down on the tray as she turned her chair towards the couch and taking a seat, which you accepted the offer to do some storytelling.
"you know how you someone so beautiful, you just get so enchanted that you forget that you needed to do something?"
"umm no? I have narcissistic tendencies, remember?"
you facepalmed, totally forgotten that minji loved herself and her own artwork more than anything in the world. maybe another example that fit her perspective would do the trick.
"right, my bad. so you know when you take a step back and you just go 'wow' when you see your finished piece?"
"ohh, I get it. so you just wanna say you fell in love at first sight?"
love at first sight? now that was something that you didn't think of, need less say anything about it. but was that really what it was about? such a thought had not cross your mind at all for the past day but now that minji had brought it up, there was a possibiliity.
"I don't know. but there's something about her that just makes me so curious. something I can't pinpoint."
"I was half joking about the narcissism by the way. but honestly, it seems to me that she's probably your type."
she tossed you her apron as she made her way to her room to get a change of clothes. it was Tuesday so you two were probably going to head to your usual for lunch. your feelings weren't something you could control, so maybe you'd leave it up to your heart to tell you what you should do. although your brain regulates emotions, you left the decision making to your guts. after all, you followed where your heart told you to go yesterday, towards this beautiful stranger.
Tumblr media
"where have you been, cupid?"
as this cupid teleported back to their abode, they had company, a not so welcome one.
"just had a little outing on earth, nothing extravagant."
they hung their cloak on the rack, along with their other identical cloaks that were specifically reserved for other outings on particular days.
"marsh, how many times have I told you to be more careful down there?"
"and how many times have I told you that humans can't see us? kang, relax, maybe you need a day off."
marsh, who adored kang, knew that she would use her last name when she wants to make a point. she could sense the latter's worry laced in her voice despite the choice of words. she turned around to face the other cupid, fully aware of her actions.
"I know going down requires a lot of preparation and all, but humans are just so... interesting."
"danielle. they're vulnerable and weak. what's so interesting about that?"
that was exactly what was interesting about humans to danielle. cupids were unaffected beings who were tasked to fulfill the role of a matchmaker. unaffected by feeble feelings of love. unaffected by the tempting appearance of physical attraction as humans get shot by cupid's arrow. but why was she visible to a mere human, you?
she resisted the urge to let haerin know about the encounter. she could not risk being banished, stripped from her godly powers, and made mortal. rule number one of being on earth was to avoid contact with humans at all costs, and that was already broken against her will when she felt your eyes on her. regardless of whether you had known her identity, she had the responsibility to wipe your memory of her on that very day.
yet she didn't. she wanted you to remember her, for she wanted you to recognize her the next time she pays another visit.
Tumblr media
"kim minji! get your ass down here right now!"
"geez, no need for the shouting unless you want that old lady next door to send another complaint."
you shrugged, feigning ignorance as this place is minji's, not yours. plus, the old lady next door adored you like you were her granddaughter since you bring over food occasionally when you drop by.
"well that's on you since you own this place."
"you're a menace."
the slight bump on your shoulder had you smillng, totally not minding the glare you were receiving from your left.
"thanks, appreciate the adoration."
Tumblr media
minji was so excited that she literally barged in the small, cozy restaurant. of course she was, you were paying for this meal after all. you couldn't deny since you technically did leave the exhibition empty handed. both without photographic evidence of kim minji's masterpiece, and the contact number of the masterpiece you laid your eyes upon.
"uncle moon!"
"ah, ain't it my favourite little customers?"
the commotion at the front door caught the owner's attention before the wrinkles in the corner of his eyes creased, a smile flashed at his customers.
"if it's her, I'd understand, but I am far from being little."
"one more and you're paying, hun."
you looked up at the tall person, fighting off the urge to pull her down into a headlock.
"I'll have my usual and all of the sides on the menu!"
which is why she took her seat at an empty table in the speed of light and flashing that annoying ass smile at you.
"my usual too, uncle moon. thank you."
when you looked at uncle moon, it was full of admiration for the old man. and when you whipped your head over to your bestie, it was the same. but a different kind of admiration, the kind where you were just so amazed with how she could order the whole sides menu.
"coming right up, yea. and you little ones should stop bickering for once, don't you think?"
the fellow could only chuckle at how you two were always at each other's throats but still remained closer than ever, before returning to the kitchen.
"you heard uncle moon, you should stop being an ass."
"as if I started it first."
"you didn't this time, then what about the past three times we came here?"
"I didn't take you for to be the kind to hold grudges."
"about time you do, we've literally known each other for 8 years."
with that, only soft chatter and the ambience of the restaurant made its presence the heat from the glaring competition couldn’t go unnoticed. but it was soon broken off as you two fell into a fit of laughter.
"now that was some real cringe."
"that was my line but hey, I agree. it sounded like a whole drama scene."
the flow of your conversations with minji had always been unpredictable, going from topics of academics to aliens. she still insists that aliens exist among humans and that maybe, humans themselves were the aliens after all. you definitely needed uncle moon to bring those sides she ordered and stuff her mouth, and you love him so much for actually doing so during your desperate times.
"here's the first half of it, enjoy it first while it's still hot."
luckily, the arrival of her favourite snack interrupted the alien enthusiast from her ted talk. this was a chance to change the topic to a more normal one.
"by the way, how's it going with anton?"
"who?"
"that jock who agreed to model for your project?"
"oh, him."
you were surprised that this girl didn't know the name of the guy that she was screaming over two weeks ago because he was her inspiration. not to mention the lukewarm response.
"oh, him? what happened?"
"nothing much, I asked him after his practice and he said sure."
"then why the long face?"
it was very evident on minji's face that there was something bothering her.
"I offered to buy him dinner, then we went to a bar."
as her face darkened, yours started to brighten because you could tell where this was gonna go, and you were loving every part of it. the anticipation in your face was annoying minji but she continued nonetheless.
"I drank a little too fast, got a little tipsy, then kissed the dude."
with that, you hugged minji like you were the proudest mom on earth.
"my girl's not single anymore!"
"she still pretty much is. we made out but he told me to just forget about it because he would to."
confusion was written all over your face while she feels even more beat after laying it out on the table for you. she did feel some sparks while they spent some time together.
"but wasn't he into you?"
"what do you mean?"
you figured that minji was so dense that she wouldn't notice the glances the boy would give her when you two walk past him in the corridor. and the way he would look at her whenever he scored a point in that match you were there with her.
"anton literally has his eyes glued on you whenever you're around him."
"how the hell do you even know that?"
"dude's obvious and you're oblivious."
the new knowledge for minji had her brain racking over 28 reasons why he had told her to forget about that night. it didn't make any sense if he was into her too.
she was still in her train of thoughts even when the food arrived. the last time you had witnessed a moment of thinking from her was quite some time ago because she really doesn't think before doing something. probably why she ultimately ended up in this sticky situation.
"here's your usuals, little ones."
"thanks, uncle moon."
as you finished setting the table, all you could give was some advice from past flings and romance dramas.
"look, I'm pretty sure he said that to avoid making things uncomfortable for you. you were drunk and maybe he didn’t want to take advantage of that."
"when you meet him for your project, let him know how you felt. and if you want things to progress, go for it."
you shrugged, you knew nothing bad could come out of it when all she's doing is getting that clarification she deserves. and he can tell her that he likes her. sounds like a win-win situation.
"he's quite a nice person, and single."
a few pats on the back brought the minji you knew back to reality.
"just how the hell do you know so much?"
"it's just a bestie thing."
Tumblr media
"going down again, danielle?"
leaning by her doorframe, she knew haerin was giving her the look, again.
"for work this time. you can loosen a bit on your end, haerin."
danielle could only chuckle at the constant visits from the younger cupid whenever she's heading out, seemingly suspicious of her.
"not when you visit twice as frequent than the others."
"you know I love the atmosphere there."
the older turned to face haerin, sincerity overflowing her orbs and the gaze on her made her clear her throat. totally not because she wasn't use to such attention on her.
"then make sure you do your job first before loitering around. ms. hanni has been complaining about how you've been late at handing in reports."
she tried to stand her ground as her apprentice and be firm, but she fails miserably each time whenever she notices that slight pout on danielle's lips. sometimes she wonders if this 114-year old cupid was really her mentor.
"okay okay, ms. kitty, maybe you could help me slot that report in then phampham won't be saying that again. deal?"
the younger cupid could only sigh in defeat, knowing that there was no way she could make this girl angry, ever.
"alright, go on now. your humans are waiting for you to bestow upon them."
in the most sarcastic tone ever.
but somehow danielle could feel her heart tremble a little as she makes her way to your realm.
Tumblr media
"kim minji!"
"ugh, what now."
"your supplies were at the front door, dumbass."
"shut up, for real?"
pushing the door with your back, you made your way in her studio before the huge box was snatched out of your hands.
"..."
well, she did tell you to shut up, and so you did.
"I didn't mean it literally, dumbass."
"touché."
"what'd you get?"
you plopped on the same spot you always do on the couch as she struggles to open the parcel with her bare hands. as if that was gonna do anything to those tightly stuck tape.
"new paints, some mini canvases, and good ol' varnish."
"what about that shop down the street? you usually head over there."
"they stopped selling that varnish so I thought to try some online shopping instead."
the girl was still struggling to pick on possible openings of the tape, blatantly refusing to get scissors.
"bro, just get some scissors or a knife."
"I got none of them."
"are you serious?"
"yep."
clearly, she wasn't gonna give up on opening that box even if it meant biting her way through that box.
"alright, I'll head to the convenience store to get some scissors. and don't use your teeth, please."
"you almost chipped your front tooth last time."
"thanks, and that was ages ago, would be nice if you dropped it."
as she flashed you an artificial smile, you returned it gladly while pushing the door out.
the convenience store was just a 3-minute walk down then across the street. while you stopped at the crossing, you wondered why there was a surge of people waiting to cross. the nametags on some people told you it was lunch, which made perfect sense.
as the light turned green, you walked accordingly, to avoid bumping into someone accidentally and having to initiate social contact. you shivered a little at the thought of that. maybe it was a little too early for you to say that, even mentally. because you just bumped into someone. damn that mouth.
"sorry, mi-"
although the crowd had crossed over and dispersed, you stood there light-headed. you were finally, truly going crazy from never-ending assignments, you told yourself. cause how the hell is the angel from the exhibition standing right in front of you, looking oh so gorgeous.
"we meet again, stranger. I certainly didn't expect to see you here."
"neither did I..."
you were so out of breath from being in the same space as her that you might have as well forgot how to breathe normally.
"would you like to have a meal together, I was heading for lunch anyways."
the errand was long gone from your mind the moment you laid your eyes again on this mysterious entity. you couldn't bring yourself to believe that she was human because of how mesmerizing she was, feeling so otherworldly to you.
at the meantime, minji had been thinking if she should use her teeth again regardless of what happened.
"yeah, sure. I was heading for mine too."
before letting her lead the way, you were so entranced by her presence that you had totally failed to notice that everything, everyone around you was frozen in time.
with only you and her in the moment, in the middle of a crosswalk, gazes meeting and finding solace in each other unknowingly.
as she whispers under her breath, soft enough to avoid the heavenly principles.
"I love the way we intertwine."
