out loud | seulgi (m)

pairing: chauffeur!seulgi x celebrity!fem!reader genre: fluff, fwb to lovers, hurt/comfort, smut word count: 6k warnings: cursing, injury (ankle sprain), crying, oral sex (female receiving), fingering, some thigh-riding song inspos: out loud - syd ft kehlani | for the night - chloe | touch me - victoria monet ft kehlani | losing - h.e.r. a/n: this is a sequel to lady cab driver!

all this “day in the life of a celebrity” stuff is way out of my range of knowledge, so i’m not sure how much of this realistic, but hey...shrug!

the MC is a singer but not a kpop idol or in the k-industry. i’m not gonna stop if you imagine it that way though lmao

--

you could never deny me

to the eyes of the strangers that watch us when we walk by

so what's with all the silence?

“...so, are you sure you aren’t currently in a relationship?” genie, the podcast host sitting across from you, asks this while twirling her pen a mile a minute and smiling nervously. she innately knows that she’s going to annoy you with this inquiry, but she asks anyway.

you sit up straighter in your seat, giving her an exasperated look. “what do you mean ‘am i sure’? you think i wouldn’t know that or not?”

“okay, calm the attitude!” she cries out, laughing to mask her own annoyance with the way you responded. “i just want to know because you’ve really been different lately.”

“i would if you hadn’t just asked me the exact same question earlier,” you deadpan, completely ignoring her second statement.

amanda, who is your friend-but-not-really and serves as the main host of this podcast, laughs and places her hand on your shoulder. “it’s not that serious, y/n.” she’s also probably wondering where the hell your media training has gone, but you’ve never had much patience for entertaining ridiculous, rude, or annoying remarks even in the public eye. for many people, that quality has made you a bit unpalatable, but you figure the ones who really matter will stick around regardless.

you sigh and try to mockingly roll your eyes, though you think it probably comes off more genuine than playful.

“genie has a point anyway, it’s not hard to tell when you’re having more fun in life, you know…specifically with another person, i mean. your overall demeanor shifts,” amanda says, raising a finger as if you can’t dispute her hot take on it. “and also, there are a few more romantic-slash-sensual songs than usual on your recent EP, so…”

despite yourself, you smile crookedly as you think about the tracks she’s mentioned; it’s more of a smirk now. genie observes your expression and throws her hands up as if to say see what i mean? “does everything have to be from personal experience?” you argue.

“does every song have to be fictional?” amanda shoots back, leaning closer to the microphone in front of her. “or will we all finally realize that there is a fundamental truth in almost every song there is in the universe, no matter how off-the-wall it may be…yes, that even includes eiffel 65’s blue.” you close your eyes and put your forehead in your hand, which means you hear rather than see genie choke on her drink in her laughter.

“don’t start getting all existential on me now, or whatever the fuck it is that you do,” you mutter. “also, you two should be praising your own smarts each and every day for making this an independent podcast, because this silly shit would get you kicked off any actual network. girl.”

--

it’s a matching pantsuit today, and a little more casual than the ones seulgi usually wears. great for your eyes, not so great for your concentration. at least you’re not the one who has to drive.

you almost regret your decision to get in the front of the car, but then again, that outfit is the very reason why you’re sitting up here with her now.

seulgi blinks at you like you’ve just landed from a spaceship as you climb into the passenger seat beside her. it’s not the limo today, which is really only saved for more luxurious outings or when you want to show off in front of a fellow celebrity you’re not too fond of, but the mercedes-benz—which you admit is still show-offy but not as impractical.

“you’re getting in the front seat?” she asks, but turns the engine on anyway and is already backing out of the parking space.

“yes, why not?”

“kind of defeats the purpose of having all those amenities in the back, but okay.”

“i’ve had my fill of ice water and little andes mints for today, seulgi. just let me sit up here with you, please?”

seulgi arches an eyebrow. “well, you don’t have to ask me. even if you never drive it, it’s your car. remember?”

“true…and i know you prefer being told what to do, so…”

there’s an awkward little silence where seulgi makes a sound like a laugh and reddens, which you take as a win for today. it’s become surprisingly more easy to get her flustered ever since you two began your arrangement, when you used to be on the receiving end of it more often than not.

“so how’d it go?” she asks, regaining her composure by changing the subject.

“same as it always is with those damn girls,” you say, chuckling as you think back to one of the many ridiculous things amanda had said during the interview. “they’re fun, though. even if i find something to complain about every time i go on their podcast.”

“what’s your complaint for today, then?”

you hesitate, scratching the back of your head with a sudden awkward air. “they asked me about any ‘current relationships.’ just the kind of gossipy stuff fans always want to know.”

seulgi nods, still keeping her eyes on the road. “so i’m sure you gave some cryptic answer or something? since you don’t like people prying in your business.”

“uh, basically.” that wasn’t the answer you expected, though now you aren’t sure what you were expecting. you two aren’t in a relationship, so why would seulgi act any certain way about interviewers asking you that question?

the rest of the car ride back to your house is filled with sporadic conversation, which also involves seulgi reminding you of your weekly schedule for what feels like the 50th time. transporting you everywhere means she needs to know your entire itinerary at all times, which also means she essentially plays the roles of both chauffeur and personal assistant. the convenience of it is perfect, but occasionally, it also serves to make you feel more confused about your “involvement.”

the lines between personal and professional have blurred so much that you no longer know what’s wrong and what’s right.

and now that you’re in it, it feels odd to field relationship questions, write romantic songs while telling yourself you have no particular subject in mind, and keep your arrangement a secret so that no one in the public world knows about seulgi’s connection to you as anything other than your chauffeur. it feels odd to have her drive you around the city to important work events or interviews and accompany you across the country on professional business trips, only to see her again several nights a week in your bed.

within the small bubble consisting of your personal team and close friends, everyone knows about what you and seulgi have going on. they don’t comment on it, which you prefer, though you can’t rid yourself of the slight paranoia of what they must say when neither of you are around. especially danika…a backup dancer and friend of yours who you were involved with in a similar way before seulgi ever came along.

but as long as no one opens their mouth to you about it, you’ll be fine. even if you’re beginning to feel a little confused about the nature of all this. maybe you’re just overthinking it.

seulgi’s hand on yours is warm and familiar as she helps you out of the car. it makes you feel weirdly sappy for a moment, so you don’t think twice as you lean forward to kiss her on the corner of the mouth, like a preview of the real thing. just a teaser. you chuckle at the lipstick print that’s left there when you pull away.

“will i see you tonight?” you ask, though it feels more like a confirmation of something you both already know.

she nods and rubs her thumb over the back of your hand with a smile. “tonight.”

--

a music festival in europe, a week later...

you’re in your dressing room with some of your dancers and other team members, mentally preparing yourself to get on stage in just a few minutes. danika plops onto the soft gray couch beside you, purposely taking up the rest of the space on it so that her head is in your lap, hair fanning across your legs. you look down at her face, sighing at being disturbed out of your routine.

“well, hello. now what brings you over here?” you ask.

"nothing special," she replies, though you know that isn't true just by the expression on her face. "you must be excited to be performing your new songs for the first time with a live audience." her eyes are alight with the thrill of performing again after a while.

“i’ll stay excited as long as all you guys keep it together and make me look good.”

she rolls her eyes. “of course we will. you and i didn’t spend like 5 years dancing at every possible event to not look good together.” the stress she puts on together makes your ears perk up.

scoffing, you shove her shoulder in a way that you both know isn’t serious. “okay girl, i didn’t even say all that and you know it, so don’t start.”

“i’m just joking,” danika shrugs, and then speaks lower so no one else can eavesdrop; though they’re all preoccupied with their phones and conversations. “though, i’m always open if you are. for old time’s sake, or whatever.” her voice and posture are as casual as can be, one of her hands behind her head, but your eyes widen a little. you’re not entirely sure how to respond to that knowing you’re regularly having sex with seulgi—which danika surely also knows.

you and seulgi never really discussed the terms of your arrangement. instead, you just…decided you really liked that day in the limo, wanted to do it again, and continued falling into bed together. whether sleeping with other people is okay is unbeknownst to you, though you suddenly realize you have no desire to do so.

you shove danika again, trying to play off your surprise and uncertainty. “where’s that even coming from all of a sudden?” she interlocks her hands with yours as you try to pull away, and the both of you end up scrabbling on the couch, your question left unanswered. “if you mess up my outfit before i have to go on stage—”

seulgi walks into the room casually sipping from a smoothie cup alongside your manager sherry, and as engrossed as you are with play-fighting danika in your lap and trying to untangle yourself from her, you don’t notice seulgi glancing over in your direction. her eyes squint and her whole body pauses for a second, but she does nothing to make her presence known to you. just as quickly, seulgi brings her attention back to your manager, only catching the tail-end of what the woman was saying.

“sorry, can you say that again? it’s a little loud in here.”

seulgi focuses fully on sherry now, but there’s still something itching in the back of her mind. there’s no reason for her to feel weird about you and danika acting as friends do. it’s not that kind of relationship, she reminds herself, though deep down, she can’t help feeling a bit bothered at that level of closeness between the two of you.

--

before long, it’s time for you to go out on stage and perform.

there are so many different things to think about whenever you’re on stage, but every time, it all comes together like a type of second nature to you. there’s little time to dwell in your nervousness when interacting with fans and making sure you’re hitting every note and dance move. out of all the nonsense that comes with notoriety and the entertainment industry, these moments when you actually get to live and breathe in your talent and share it with others are what makes everything else worth dealing with.

even when you get to the last song in your set, you’re not yet ready for the night to end, having fed off the crowd’s energy and used it to fuel your own adrenaline.

things shift drastically halfway through the first chorus, though, when you twist around a little too harshly during a spin and your heel goes out from under you. you feel a sharp pain burst in your ankle, and it’s intense enough to send you stumbling to the ground. for a few seconds, your mind spins from the shock until you realize you’re no longer standing.

“shit, y/n!” someone grabs your arm from the side, and you realize it’s danika. there’s a wave of concern from the crowd in the form of panicked screams and shouts. seeing everyone’s shocked faces makes your heart beat faster; you can’t help feeling like you need to defuse the situation, reassure the fans, and salvage what you can.

grinding your teeth together from the pain, you bring the microphone back up to your mouth with one hand while wrestling your heels off with the other. “i’m okay...the show ain’t over yet!” there are many cheers at that statement, though the aura of concern still persists. moving the mic away, you tell danika, “it’s fine, go back to your spot.” the rest of your dancers are still keeping with the choreography for the sake of professionalism; danika looks at you like you’ve lost it, but you shoo her away, so she rushes back to her place amongst the others.

now without your heels, you push yourself back to your feet and limp through the rest of the choreography, making a concerted effort to keep your voice steady through the pain.

as the last notes of the instrumental fizzle out, your dancers gather at your sides as they’re meant to do for the ending of this song, but a couple of them—including danika—sling their arms around you so they can support your weight. they lead you off the stage to the tune of thousands of screams, yet all you can hear is the blood rushing in your ears. you’re so distracted you even forget to say your regular thank yous and goodbyes to the crowd.

you are able to keep yourself together until you get backstage and sherry wrangles you down into a chair and scolds you for still trying to dance on your injured foot—at which point you put your face in your hands and burst into tears.

“that was so stupid. i looked so stupid out there. what the fuck is wrong with me? everyone probably hates me now!”

“that’s not even true.” sherry sighs, now regretting how she immediately complained instead of trying to reassure you.

“no they don’t!” danika says at the same time. “you’re overthinking it. look, we just need to get you to the hospital.”

you shake your head, your eyes burning with tears and face still hidden by your hands. “this is why i hate heels.”

seulgi isn’t surprised at your injured state when you’re helped into the car, having already been alerted by your manager. she is startled by how much you’re crying over it, though she doesn’t show it. she’s never seen you shed one sad tear before this.

seulgi drives you to the nearest hospital with sherry, danika, and a couple other essential members of the entourage in tow. she doesn’t go in with you and the others, as it’s her job to have the car ready to swoop you away from any prying fans or paparazzi whenever you get done. instead, she spends most of her time in the car drumming her fingers against the wheel and fidgeting in her seat. the other percentage is spent resisting the urge to take her gloves off so she can bite her nails.

it feels like hours before sherry texts to update seulgi and you’re in her sights again, brought out in a wheelchair and your big sunglasses firmly covering your eyes. seulgi is a little taken aback at her own relief but doesn’t dwell on it long, as her main focus is getting you out of the parking lot in one piece amid the photographers trying to crowd the car.

sherry rolls down the window to growl at them, “get the fuck out of the way! we’re not paying for your hospital bills if you get run the fuck over!” this seems to be enough to back them down, though they’re clearly not happy about being spoken to in such a way.

the rest of the ride to the hotel manages to be fairly calm, and you are whisked up to your room by the others. seulgi parks the car in the parking garage and finally unclenches her hands from around the steering wheel. she yanks her chauffeur’s gloves off and runs her hands through her hair, feeling like one weight has lifted while another simultaneously settles itself down on her shoulders.

seulgi has barely stepped foot into her own room when she gets a text, and she sighs—doesn’t look like she’ll be clocking out for the night now. but after receiving texts from sherry all night, she doesn’t expect the message to be directly from you when she checks her phone.

2:03 a.m. y/n: can you come up to my room?

there’s no explanation. it’s just those seven words. seulgi’s heartbeat speeds up anyway.

within minutes, she’s being let into your room by sherry, who appears to be on her way out.

“you know what to do if you need anything,” sherry calls over her shoulder.

“yeah, i got it mom!” you reply, which earns you an eye roll from her.

sherry nods to seulgi as she slides past her, patting her on the shoulder. “you know she’s injured, so—take it easy, yeah?”

seulgi only scoffs at that, her ears reddening at the implication. she closes the door after her and walks to your bed, where you’re lying with your injured foot propped on a pillow and wrapped in a bandage. the TV is on a random station that seulgi knows you’re not even watching, the volume so low it might as well be muted.

“how are you doing? is your foot okay?”

you shrug, looking tired and disappointed with the world. “it’ll live, i guess. it’s a sprain, so it’ll heal eventually…good thing it’s not a damn fracture.”

“i’m glad it’s not serious,” seulgi says, allowing herself to breathe easier.

you sigh and recline further against the pillows. “feels kinda like the end of the world, though.”

“i know. i’m sorry. you were really good today, though, and i hope that counts for something.” seulgi absentmindedly scratches her thumbnail against one of the pillows on your bed. “you already know i thought the only girl was great,” she adds, referring to one of your new songs.

you lean your head on your hand, your face warming at her compliment. you think back to the night you’d invited a handful of close friends—including seulgi—to listen to that track and a couple other completed ones. “i don’t know why i released that song to the public. it seems too personal. and then i performed that tonight before falling flat on my ass in front of thousands? shit!”

seulgi gives a lopsided smirk. “has anybody ever told you how dramatic you are?”

you shake your head fiercely, pretending not to know. “no, never, i think?” before the conversation can continue down that road, you blurt out, “could you stay with me?”

“you want me to stay the night?” it certainly wouldn’t be the first time seulgi has stayed over with you, but she’s kind of surprised you want her around while you’re in this state.

in this context, you’re a little embarrassed to admit it, but you nod. “you just saw me have a complete meltdown over a fucking ankle that will heal anyway. we go together now.”

seulgi is even more dumbstruck by that statement, and her heart starts full-on hammering against her ribcage. she can’t tell if your tone is joking or not, which makes it harder to decipher if you’re actually claiming a relationship with her in this moment or just talking shit like you always do.

it doesn’t help that she’s still feeling a bit confused over your earlier interaction with danika and how it bothered her more than she anticipated. like you, she has begun wondering a little more deeply about where the boundaries of this arrangement end and begin.

at this point, she’s too afraid to ask. the opportunity seems to have passed as you peel back the comforter on the unoccupied side of the bed and pat it impatiently with an imploring look.

“i haven’t even showered since this morning,” seulgi says weakly.

“can’t you shower now?”

“i–yeah, i guess. but i’ll have to go back to my room to get clothes.”

“do you have to go? you can just wear the hotel robe here.” you gesture vaguely to the door of your closet, which is currently closed, but seulgi presumes the said garment must be there.

“and sneak out of the room like that in the morning?” seulgi looks at you in mock horror, and you laugh nervously.

“come on, i can just get sherry to run to the store and get you a new outfit—” you’re about to say something else but stop yourself. “or…maybe you’d rather just sleep in your own bed tonight? uh, that’s fine, i don’t want to—”

“no, i do!” seulgi starts hurriedly pulling her suit jacket off as if to prove to you her desire to stay. “seriously, stop overthinking it!” she calls out as she heads to the bathroom, though she’s also addressing herself.

and so you wait for seulgi to get finished while flipping through channels that don’t offer much to watch. the analog clock on the wall by the TV edges towards 3 a.m. with every minute, but a regular sleep schedule has been foreign to you for years now. your body feels the exhaustion, but your mind is too awake to allow sleep.

seulgi crawls into the bed beside you after she gets out of the bathroom, draped in the hotel robe as you suggested, her hair damp against her cheeks and face bare of makeup. she notices your restless demeanor and asks, “what are you thinking of?”

“i don’t want to think about anything right now,” you reply, which isn’t really an answer, but it’s better than having the awkward what are we? discussion that keeps plaguing your mind.

“what do you want to do instead, then?” seulgi asks, trying to probe your mind.

“you.”

seulgi sits up, knowing the tone of your voice and what it signifies. “you’re injured, y/n,” she murmurs, but she can guess how you’ll respond—which is why she shifts closer anyway. “at least let me do all the work.”

seulgi leans closer to kiss you on the lips, so sweetly that it makes you grin into the embrace. her damp hair tickles your face as you kiss, getting tiny drops of water on your skin. the droplets spread as her lips move to your neck and you slide one of your hands to the back of her head, feeling the strands slip between your fingers.

she remains careful of your injured right foot as she situates herself halfway between your legs, straddling your left thigh and letting you feel her bare against your skin from where your shorts have ridden up. one of her hands slips beneath your tank top, her fingers grasping your breast, thumb grazing across your hardening nipple, and it’s not long before the other hand joins to caress both of your breasts beneath the fabric. each moan that comes out of your mouth is greeted with a kiss from seulgi’s lips as your mouths remain enmeshed.

your hands settle on seulgi’s hips, and you can’t resist the urge to flex your thigh a bit and make the muscle shift against her. at your motion, her lips part in a moan similar to your own. “y/n, seriously…” her words dissolve into a chuckle as you make the motion again and drag her hips forward in tandem.

“sure you don’t want me to handle this?” you ask lowly, flexing your thigh again in reference to the aforementioned this making a wet mess on your skin.

“no, let me before you try to take over as usual.”

she slides down and tugs at the waistband of your shorts, and you carefully lift your hips up to aid her in getting them halfway down your legs. she’s hardly surprised to see your lack of underwear, which you have often cited as being “too restricting.”

her hands grasp both of your thighs as she kisses the skin above your navel, around it, across your hips, and down to your inner thighs, her tongue coming out to trace a path down your pubic mound until it meets the glistening pearl it’s looking for.

“seulgi…” you sigh, shifting your hips to get closer. she answers your call of her name with a wet swipe over your clit and several more after, closing her lips gently around the sensitive bud to heighten your pleasure. never able to keep still for long, she slides one hand off your thigh to spread your lips apart for more access, fitting her tongue inside you after she’s gotten you sufficiently worked up to where your clit is throbbing on her lips. her soft mouth on you has you forgetting the pain of your sprained ankle and the embarrassment of the day’s earlier events as your head sinks back against the headboard, every nerve in your body trembling with the anticipation of release.

she separates her tongue from you to tease two of her fingers at your entrance, stimulating the ultra-sensitive nerve endings there, and that move makes you nearly scratch at her arms to get her to bring her mouth back into play. “y/n, be patient…” she chuckles, her breath warm between your thighs. her fingers reach that spot inside you repeatedly only to flutter against it as she pleases, constantly shifting away and leaving you wanting just that much more.

“shit, i-i can’t take it,” you cry out, your voice breaking on the last word when her fingers stroke that spot and the tip of her tongue circles your clit at the same time. “you seriously expect me to be p-patient right now?”

“only for a little while longer,” she answers, looking at you from beneath her lashes, her skin the color of rose petals. “could you do that for me? i just don’t want this to end so soon.” you are so wet by now that the sounds of your slick occupy the pauses between her words, the sheets beneath you damp from your own wetness and your sweat.

your eyes slide closed after you regard her entreaty, and you offer no intelligible response besides a low, almost stifled moan. you’ve already made up your mind that you’ll make no promises anyway, because you can’t last much longer like this. the way her fingers move against your walls now, assuredly grazingthat spot every time and no longer purposely missing it, has your mind spinning out of control with the need for climax.

your jaw slackens when her mouth returns to you fully again, sucking up your wetness like it’s much-needed water and her tongue stroking across the most sensitive parts of you. the tension in your body tightens until the snapping point, a shaking and high-pitched gasp escaping your mouth.

you flex your legs so intensely that it makes your ankle hurt, but that pain gets lost somewhere in the rush of your orgasm, which spills forth and fills up every corner of your body simultaneously. your voice stutters out of you so that it sounds like you’re sobbing, and you think you might actually be when a tear or two slips from your eye. still deep inside you, seulgi keeps prolonging your climax until you are spent, sighing and slumping against the headboard at an uncomfortable angle.

seulgi rests her head upon your left leg and listens to your gradually slowing breathing, grinning to herself at being the cause of it.

“come on.” eventually, you pull on seulgi’s arms to bring her closer, and she follows. you taste yourself in the ensuing kiss, but you are more focused on sneaking your hand between her thighs, your fingers sliding in the slick and circling her clit before nudging lower to push inside her. her thighs tense around your hand, and she releases a pleasured moan. she requires no coaxing to rock against your hand, though you provide it anyway because you know she likes to hear you talk her through it. “such a good girl for me, aren’t you? i can’t get enough of you, seul.”

“for you,” she repeats, her head lolling on her shoulders as you crook your fingers into the spot she loves—and that you might possibly love even more, for the way she responds when you do it. one of her hands clenches in your shirt while the other goes to circle her clit as you continue fingering her.

“you’re the prettiest when you touch yourself,” you murmur, your own arousal pooling again even as you focus on her. your lips go to her neck and you nibble the skin gently there, causing her to shudder, the robe falling down her shoulders. the taste of her skin right out of the shower is one of your favorite things, you think.

seulgi‘s orgasm is as sweet as the kiss you share while she squeezes around your fingers. you shift your mouth so you can kiss the sweat beads off the side of her face, her jawline. you laugh quietly, perhaps from how much you enjoyed the pleasure you just shared, and she follows suit after catching her breath. it feels like only you two exist in the world right now, laughing for hardly any reason at all.

although tonight turned into possibly the shittiest night of your career, you think it couldn’t have ended any better than this.

--

you wake up with some of seulgi’s hair in your face, and the sheer familiarity of it has you momentarily forgetting that you’re in another country. you are uncomfortable from sleeping on your back all night due to your foot, but you feel better from having her by your side first thing in the morning. you try not to think too deeply about how your heart throbs just from looking at her sleeping face—how cliche it all feels and yet you aren’t even together.

for some reason, that bothers you this morning more than it has any other morning.

more time passes before seulgi begins stirring against you; the sun has risen higher above the horizon and is now brightening the room considerably even through the curtains. seulgi covers her mouth as she yawns. somehow, this one simple action out of everything else is so endearing to you that it has you speaking before you can reconsider.

“uh, i meant what i said last night, you know,” you say, averting your eyes to the ceiling. maybe it will potentially hurt less if you don’t look.

“which part?” seulgi is still half-asleep as she moves flyaway hairs out of her eyes.

“that we…that we go together, actually. maybe we should do more than just have sex.”

seulgi blinks.

“the songs really all were written with you in mind,” you blurt out, as if it must be said now or never. “not really any relationship i had years ago.”

“you’re serious?” seulgi sits up now, becoming more conscious with each second and her surprise mounting.

“i’m very serious….and feeling a little dumb right now,” you answer, rubbing your hand across your forehead in a nervous gesture. you hadn’t planned for just how nerve-wracking the actual “feelings” part would be; the sex had always been easy.

“but what about danika?” seulgi rushes out, then startles like she hadn’t meant to say that at all.

“danika?”

“i just thought—you two are still close.”

“yes, but that’s been over for years.” at first, you assume that seulgi must be thinking the songs you wrote are actually about danika; but after considering what the other woman proposed to you yesterday, you realize it’s likely deeper than that. you make a move to sit up, and seulgi helps you up when she notices. “there’s nothing between me and danika, and i don’t want there to be. we are close and we play-fight and do stupid shit because that’s how we’ve always been, but i don’t want to do anything that’d make you uncomfortable.”

despite your words, seulgi pulls the robe tight around her shoulders in a self-conscious move. “but i don’t want to, like…intrude. or stop you from having fun with your friends. i’m the new person around here anyway. i mean, what if…i don’t know, i just—”

seulgi’s worries are interrupted when you grab her hands and bring them up to your face, pressing your lips to her knuckles. you keep them there for a few long moments before you lean forward to kiss her, and she responds in kind.

“you don’t have to worry about anything like that, okay? if i say it’s me and you, then it’s me and you. everybody else knows not to fuck with me on that,” you insist, and that pulls a laugh out of her as she shakes her head.

“fine,” she relents with a sigh and a smile, and though it’s just one word, you can tell you’ve eased her thoughts.

“could you trust me?” you ask quietly, still holding her hands. you press them to your chin, if only to feel her on as many places of your body as you can.

“yes. i can.”

the two of you sit like that for a few blissful minutes, simply breathing each other’s air and enjoying each other‘s company, before your phone starts ringing and doesn’t stop. sighing, you see that it’s a call from sherry and know you have to answer or she’ll never stop calling.

“what’s up, sherry?” you ask, leaving one hand free so that you can keep playing with seulgi’s fingers.

“i hate to break up all the fun for you guys, but you’re aware that we’re checking out today, yes?” there’s movement and talking in the background, so you figure the others must be in the room with her. “i’ll be up there for you soon, so don’t even think about complaining. and make sure you have some damn clothes on!”

“of course, mother dearest. anything else i should know?” you quip, giggling.

“anything you should know? yeah: i’m not playing. i’ll carry you outta there if i have to.”

“okay okay, i got it. loud and clear. let me get dressed now, bye!” you hang up the phone before sherry can say anything else and almost go to leap off the bed like you usually would before remembering your ankle is injured.

“y/n!” seulgi exclaims, grasping your arm tight so you don’t slide off the bed. she rolls her eyes before you both laugh at your silly mistake. “looks like i’ll have no choice but to stick around…if only to keep you safe.”

Thanks a lot for your reply!

I'm very glad for your support! I hope I'm not bothering you too much :3 Should I call you Teacher now? :)))

So, this questions are related to Stealing the Spotlight since my smau has a similar au (like idol!au). How did you build the entertainment industry, the audience and pieces related to performances in general?

Sorry if this sounds curt, because I'm really rushing right now.

Take care!

_Cecilia-

( long post ahead )

hello cecilia! apologies for the delayed answer to your inbox! i wanted to make sure i covered everything you were asking but here it is! teacher yuomi is in the house now and please don’t worry about being a bother, i’m always up for helping other fellow writers <3

i’ll try to explain everything as best as i can and basically go over my process/inspirations i had when creating the world of stealing the spotlight! and without spoiling stuff 😭

currently there are three known company labels in STS: fontinalia record labels, sumeru entertainment, and inazuman music industries. lots of inspiration for making these comes from already existing industries irl especially within the idol/kpop scene ( which i generally think a lot of other smau stories especially the idol au ones take inspo/ref from! )

the name fontinalia record labels was taken from one of the genshin events we had recently! the fontinalia film festival i believe it was called and i just switched it lol

of course this company was designed to be fontaine-centric meaning the majority of it’s artists/idols are mostly composed of fontaine characters 4 of which we already know! same applies to inazuman music industries/sumeru ent. really it’s kind of like categorizing the characters to each nation as it’s done in game

though kuni is an exception cause he has his own backstory and such for being with sumeru ent. havent decided whether or not he’ll got his own spin off story yet LMAO

now as for the main stars of the story; lyney and lynette hehe…i had the most fun making their characters and really everything just kind of came together once they were established

if you came from my main blog or read in one of my after notes of STS i explained before that the biggest inspiration i had when making lyney and lynette’s characters as idols was velvet and veneer…yes those two characters from the trolls 3 movie. you heard me right🧍‍♀️

here’s a link actually to where i talked about the story idea of STS way back when from my main!

so to briefly summarize their characters ( spoilers ahead for the movie ) velvet and veneer are these overly confident and arrogant artists who just want to be famous and make it big in the entertainment industry😭i honestly remember loving their dynamic and personalities

that and in addition to their songs from the movie itself were the main foundation for making lyney and lynette’s character! lyney was based off of velvet: arrogant as hell, a bit bratty, and ofc his already existing element as a smooth talker magician. and then lynette with veneer but not entirely.

her character isn’t as similar to veener’s since i wanted her to be the more lax sibling and really the one that’s done dealing with lyney’s shit

when making the audience for them hmm i based it off my own experiences as a fan of kpop idols or artists and being within these fanbases! it’s kind of hard to explain this one if you actually haven’t been in that kind of experience yourself but the best advice i can give is to just put yourself in their shoes!

imagine lyney and lynette were actually real life idols how would people react, what would fans be like, etc! that kind of thinking helped me a lot when creating their performances and audience

the 4nemo boys and reader was a bit tricky. i knew when planning out the story i wanted them all to be underground artists who know each other but had zero clue what their audience/performances would be like

that’s when i took some inspo from looking at already existing fanarts of 4nemo being idols or a band and decided to make them this sort of unofficial college indie/rock band that just hop around performing at small venues like bars and such

and since they’re underground artists that meant they didnt really have huge audience so there’s would definitely be smaller in comparison to lyney and lynette

the twins i thought of being more pop and kpop/jpop oriented! having their performances similar to the grand scale and high budgets of kpop groups shows and the energy of jpop music

from that you can already start to pinpoint the differences that will come about between the characters! for example because lyney is more well-known and famous within the entertainment industry it becomes a fuel for his confidence and arrogance you see throughout the story and that then clashes with a character like the reader who is in a more mellow environment and performs for the sake of wanting to, not driven by fame or anything

ALSO! i ended up doing a lot of research about this stuff too! learning more about indie/rock bands, what an underground artist is, kpop/jpop industries, etc! world building itself will at times require you to do some research of your own and that’s okay!! if anything it’s a sign in the right direction :D

PHEW so…tl:dr creating entertainment industries, performances and audience for your story involves both research and looking for some inspiration! whether that’s from music, films, games, or anything else! experiment with some ideas on a rough draft play around with character dynamics/personalities, tropes, everything! don’t worry too much about staying true to a character, hell even lyney from sts is ooc as hell but that’s why it’s called an au/fanfic for a reason!

hopefully i was able to answer your questions cecilia anon and if i didn’t i apologize! please feel free to send another inbox for clarification of certain things you’re still confused about or didn’t feel was answered right 😭i won’t be offended dw

oh and here’s some additional recourses encase you need them! special thanks to my mootie vee for one of them! she’s also another incredible smau artists who can offer advice as well if mine didnt meet to your satisfaction :3

vee’s smau tools | yuomi’s smau resources

A bit about me <3

Hi I’m Tilly! I’ve been a gal for about two years now, and mostly making this blog to inspo post and socialise with other gals

Some of my biggest inspirations are Tsubasa Masuwaka, Nana Suzuki, Kumiko Funayama, Okarie, and Mirai Saito

I get a lot of inspo from substyles like Himekaji, mori and Amekaji however my fashion sense fluctuates often and I like to play around with different looks

I love to sew, design and create clothing and costumes!

My favourite music includes Milky Bunny, Namie Amuro, Eurobeat, currently getting into Koda Kumi. I also love kpop, my favourite group being girls generation!!

Would love to make friends with other gyaru <3

hellooo today's reminder is the weather is turning so dinner is nearly here and as we all know summer is the only time for cute outfits and I'm having to physically restrain myself from buying clothes rn because my spending habits are… not great. but the new drama I'm watching is giving me SO much outfit inspo, this is going to be a challenge

Hii, the want to shop but having to control yourself is so real. I'm trying to save for Disney world for my birthday so I had to stop shopping online, I'm only allowed one small purchase a month if I need something. Only if. But as a shopaholic my biggest tip is to online window shop and Pinterest boards of course. Just create a board of the outfit inspo from the drama fill up carts to unimaginable prices you know you can't buy on a whim and once you're ready to buy new clothes just clean up the carts, delete everything you changed your mind on and start shopping for real. Also budget. Like I'm not allowed to spend over a certain amount on one website. Does ordering from 4 different sites defeat the purpose? maybe but it works. My current style inspo is Sabrina Carpenter, like she's the first pop girly whose style I want to emulate. There's also a YouTuber who has the exact same style as me her name is Sabrina Lilliane her style is just way more elevated than mine also she's a kpop fan, so she's obviously an icon. So I've just been Pinteresting and online window shopping to just get my outfit ideas out then once i can shop im going for it. I do need a pretty dress preferably sparkly but that's all I need to buy. Just plan your shopping carts then go for it when you're ready.

jAYDI !! hiiii so i saw you talking about shifting with that anon (hi anon! lol) and i'm so interested !!! i tried shifting a few times a while ago and then kinda forgot about it but seeing you talk about it sparked my interest again! could i maybe ask for some tips or resources for beginners? i can't really remember what i used to do and i never know what's legit on the internet LOL anyways tHATS SO COOL THAT YOU DO LIKE KPOP SHIFTING idk what to call it bUT I NEVER THOUGHT OF THAT AND ITS GENIUS AND I WANNA TRY KFKJSD

NON-SHIFTERS DNI!

SHIFTING BASICS. SUBLIMINALS. GUIDED MEDITATIONS.

hi moon! <3 sorry for the long wait BUT i'm glad to hear that you're getting back into shifting! :3 just for reference, dr = desired reality, cr = current reality.

i'd start off with where you want to shift. there's no limit to your imagination when it comes to shifting, please rmr that! you can go anywhere and if you need some inspo, here are some places i'm gonna shift to: marvel universe (mcu), my own kpop reality (from scratch), hogwarts (harry potter), criminal minds, those are just to name a few.

i would say that starting with creating a script helps the most when getting into shifting. a script is basically who you are, your personality, likes/dislikes, how you visually look (also known as face claims), your relationships, your skills, etc. you can make it as simple or detailed as possible, it's totally up to you! personally, i like to have a detailed script bc it helps remind me off all things that i want to happen within my reality. if you're interested, i'll link tutorials!

shifting subliminals and guided meditations can definitely help you as well. tbh, they're my bffs but they're not mandatory to shift, they're simply there to help you if you need it! i like to watch two specific youtubers, slade. and alunir subliminals! they both have multiple methods to help guide you to your desired reality. the most common method i see within the community is the "raven method". it's fairly simple, you lay on your back like a starfish (no limbs touching one another), and you count up to 100 whilst saying "i am shifting" between each number (for ex: 1, i am shifting. 2, i am shifting. 3, i am shifting, etc.)

lastly, do not lose confidence. you are more than capable when it comes to shifting and just because you don't succeed a couple times doesn't mean you can't shift, anyone is capable of shifting! most of the time, i like to journal all my feelings before shifting so i have a clear mind. you can do it, i believe in you! <3 also, if you use subliminals, make sure to drink lots of water throughout and if you get a headache, please stop listening and take a break. lmk if you have any more questions :3 good luck + safe travels!

[moirtre]

what are your favorite kpop groups at the moment? and like what are your favourite songs?

at the moment i love enhypen, 127 & dream, lessera <3, red velvet, and monsta x. they're probably my biggest current inspos for my group's music, styling, and concepts. fav songs at the moment are literally anything put out by le sserafim, that's it.

#i will admit #i used to be more involved #with fandoms and stuff #now i'm just here for the music #and it's been freeing to say the least

[willowmckinley]

It’s a touch late, but thank you @acorrespondence​ and @allmysinsremembered​ for tagging me re: top four current albums :)

This one is tough, seriously.

O My Heart: Not a surprise to anyone. I use half their songs for title inspo and the other half goes in the Justie Disocrd.

Montero: This album is genuinely so fucking good, and I still can’t believe so many fuckers reduced it to, like, Lil Nas X being gay (derogatory). I would kill for this album.

Welcome to the Black Parade: Is on CD in my car, so I listen to it nigh-constantly. I went to the concert last year and it unironically changed my life for the better.

Reason: A good album. I’ve been getting back into kpop and this is the album for it. Plus, like, the band all wears dog collars in the music video, so, you know, there’s that. 

Thank you! I think a lot of people have been tagged, but I’ll name a few anyway: @love-leah​, @cheerupghost​, @wildglitterwolf​ (sorry if you’ve already been tagged!)

fic info & requests

hi, i’m ash and i enjoy writing ridiculous erotica in my free time

i write primarily for nct with a focus on nct 127 (ults: johnny, jaehyun close biases/wreckers: jungwoo, doyoung, ten, haechan, yangyang but i adore everyone ot22) with no current plans to expand into other content although i do love and listen to a large number of other kpop groups and solo artists and enjoy rpf for other bgs

my fic tics (and tropes):

i write y/n reader self-insert and consider it a universalizing genre, i may specify things like size difference for fic purposes but will tag gendered terms and actively avoid anything discriminating (please let me know if anything rubs you the wrong way by ask (anon is ok) and i’ll correct it) 

pansexual/bisexual agenda - i don’t state sexualities often so this should just be assumed

polyamory and reverse harem, not always but often with m/m - i don’t write exclusive m/m often but i appreciate it and it’s very much a possibility in my aus (and will always be tagged)

heavily researched world-built aus - this won’t be as apparent on tumblr but check my AO3 notes. my fics take a long time to construct primarily because i’m autistic and need like three months to make sure which aftershave was popular in 1981 before i post so please bear with me

hardcore, pornographic, kink-heavy smut - if i haven’t written it into an au, it will happen eventually. i’m an erotica writer first even if i sometimes write feelings

i abide by YKINMK, if i haven’t tagged something properly let me know and i will add it without any repercussion, but i also ask you respect any tags i include because as much of a fan as i am of negotiating consent i will also read/write/post noncon/dubcon, incest, and a number of other harder subjects (as always, and forever, tagged)

ask rules and request guidelines:

asks:

i accept any and all head canons related to my work or aus

short requests or prompts for drabbles are very welcome and answered when i have time (may take ~1-2 weeks)

my favorite thing in the world are song recommendations (kpop or not!) so please, please, please send me any you thought of while reading my work or as inspo. in fact, send me anything - it means a lot to me 

fic or author recs are also my jam and reblogged once i have the energy for review (non-nct on my main: @loveholicsanon but send a they/them your faves i’m open to anything)

please no asks related to personal info besides what’s been stated on my blog

absolutely zero tolerance for hate for members or other groups i don’t have the energy for it and i abide by a don’t yuck anyone’s yum policy when it comes to everything because i’ve been on the internet way too long and know where that leads

dnr/dnw

underage

untagged noncon/dubcon or gore/violence/bodyhorror (note: i do read/write these subjects but will always respect guidelines for consent and ask the same in return) 

real life idol aus

nct dream centered fic (i have a hardline t-rating for chenle, renjun, & jisung but will include them as accessories)

commissions: no plans to accept at this time

tag list: i’m open to starting one but honestly i’m also old and haven’t used tumblr in a while so you can just trust this blog will mostly be fic and fic recs

thanks again for reading and interacting, and let me know if you have any questions or concerns at any time

6, 8 and 16, please?

HELLO my sweet angel angie <3 i hope you have been doing fine my love mwuah mwauh many kithies

asks for kpop mutli creators

6. Is there anything you think you're known for as a creator? i.e. a group everyone associates you with, a certain coloring or sharpening technique, a particular gfx element, an art style, etc.

is it funny that my instant thought was that people associate me with fighting my biases rather than something design related... but as @slowrabbitpd likes to vouch, i think i'm most known for my line usage within my gifs (": ironically, even the portfolio i'm currently working on has usage of lines in it

aside from that, i think a lot of people within moablr in particular associate me with motion graphics ;0 i feel like within the moablr community it's not really something that's heavily seen compared to other fandoms so i think it's cool (":

‎‎

8. What is your favorite source or reference material to work with? i.e. music videos, photoshoots, stages, album photobooks, etc.

photoshoots photoshoots photoshoots <3 concepts of photoshoots are always so fun to work with (i.e nct dream glitch mode concept photos BLEWWW MY MIND and literally everyone was making edits based off of it, it was INSANE <3)

i feel like they also have the most potential to do... literally anything with? there's always behind the scenes to photoshoots as well which also gives you more content to work with all while allowing your creativity to flow <3

‎

16. How do you decide what to work on?

hmm usually i'll get inspo from whatever source... i quite literally draw inspiration from anything and i think being surrounded by creatives is always such a fun community overall because you're constantly fuelled with new ideas and new things ! from there, i just begin and see where it takes me. as of late, i've been actually planning a lot of my ideas and sketching them out prior, but those were generally for more heavier projects. i like to keep yeonjuins as enjoyable as possible so perhaps one day i'll do a heavy project and then silly little ones afterwards that require zero thinking <3

pwease 1 2 3 12 14 18 20 23

fic writer asks:

1.) the last sentence you wrote

from genderbent ayyj wip:

"It feels more like a caress, the way Youji touches her to spread the lotion; so gentle, the way one would handle a small animal, yet this simple gesture has alleviated her nausea more than anything she’s tried so far."

2.) a character whose POV you’re currently exploring

fem!aya. to which some people would say "you've already written aya's pov before". but aya being a woman imo changes a lot of things, ok, so i'd it's still technically a new terrain.

3.) how you feel about your current WIP

-genderbent ayyj wip: well for the most part i'm just thinking about how interesting genderbent weiss (always a different sex au trope specifically, not magical genderbending) could be in terms of how it changes their personality and dynamics and i'm hoping that others will find it interesting too

-youkai au sktk wip: the emotional conflict i had in mind doesn't really align with tatsuma's personality so now i'm stuck because at the idea of having to change so much of the plot

-i have this wip about tatsuma's injury where he has 1 member of the medic team assigned to help him with his needs as he heals but i wonder if people will think its unrealistic.....

12.) a trope you’re really into right now

hmmm i feel like my taste in tropes havent changed at all sgdhjskd oh maybe "really forward girl x timid guy"? considering my 2 new otps are yamada/sasaki from smoking behind the supermarket & übel/land from frieren.

14.) where do you get your inspiration?

for plot i mainly just go "ok so what do i wanna see from this ship/character". i find that those like "prompt inspo" thing and stuff doesn't really do anything for me.

18.) if you keep them, share a deleted sentence or paragraph from a published fic

ooh here's one from aqua:

"Remember when you called me an honourable man, Gintoki, Shinsuke? How I wanted to laugh back then. Just like you I wasn’t there for... patriotism, or whatever. I was just a stupid kid who wanted to rebel in the hopes of getting my parents’ attention, but instead handed them a way to get rid of me without having to dirty their hands."

i removed it because i think it's redundant, all these were already implied in the very first scene

20.) in what year did you publish your first fic?

uhhh if we're talking first first, before i had my ao3 i was posting some really bad kpop fics on livejournal. i don't remember the year tho, maybe around 2014-2015?

23.) pick three keywords that describe your writing

third-person limited pov.

like i know that's just an actual writing term, but its very important to me when it comes to my own writing! i love getting inside a person's head and fully understanding them, and that includes knowing the limit of their knowledge and perception, because that's something that shapes a person's worldview too.

Starlight's Weekly Finds 3/20-3/27

Hi! My name is Starlight and I want to push myself more to post more of what I like on my account, so what better way to do that then to throw all my niche interests in a post to encourage others to talk about them too! This newsletter will consists of a read, a music wrap, and a movie of the week. As this goes, I'll add more or less depending. thanks for tuning in this week and I hope you come back for the next.

Read of The Month

This week I'd finally gotten around to getting a digital library card from @queerliblib ! The Queer Liberation Library is a free digital library the is entirely comprised of books created by LGBT+ BIPOC authors. They have such a ride variety of audiobooks and scanned copies that I feel there's something for everyone. To apply for a library card is free, however please be mindful it may be a bit of a wait for your library card depending on when you apply. I was lucky and received mine within like a few days of applying. All info to learn more and to apply will be on the @queerliblib socials.

I'm currently reading Between Perfect and Real by Ray Stoeve. It follows a trans guy named Dean who is recently cast as a major male lead in a school play. The story follows how Dean navigates his transition while also juggling graduating school and making it to an acting school in New York. I'm about halfway through and I highly recommend.

Music Wrap of the Week.

Okay so this section alone will probably turn into it's own individual post at some point considering I finally am getting into KPOP. I'm focusing on girl groups right now and I've listened to ALOT this week. Here's only a few of my favorites from the week.

QWER: Secret Diary

Okay, I give. This first song is technically a band as opposed to a girl group. However, their music is so good I have to let it slide. Debuting on October 18 2023, QWER is a South Korean girl band consisting of 4 members(shown below). QWER is such an interesting Kpop group to me with the members pulling inspo and influence from American bands like Slipknot and Red Hot Chilli Peppers. They bring something a little different that I really love.

Pictured left to right: Magenta(24), Hina(23), Chodan(25), and Siyeon(23).

XG: Winter Without You

The next on the list came as a pleasent surprise, because I didn't know I had heard a song from them before. You may know this 7 member group from their song Shooting Star, which is a great song, but just a little played out after the sped up version went viral on TikTok. Winter Without You leans more into the RNB aspect of the group's concept, and it makes me feel like Christmas should be here again. If you like modern holiday songs or were a big fan of Ariana Grande's album Christmas and Chill, this song was made for you.

Loossemble- Real World

LOOSSEMBLE is a group that caught my eye from their single Sensitive, but Real World I feel is an underrated song on their debut album. Debuting September 15, 2023 LOOSEMBLE consists of 5 members(PICTURED BELOW). This is a new subdivision of the girl group LOONA, with some members also being from LOONA 1/3 respectively. Just like with my other recs this week, the whole debut album is a bop tbh. Honorable mention for Strawberry Soda track as well. I haven't really gotten in my LOONA bag just yet, but if it's anything like LOOSSEMBLE, I'm fully sat.

Movie of the Week : TMNT (2007 Film)

To say I'm a TMNT fanatic would be an understatment. No matter what gen TMNT is in, I can always find something to cherish about every form of content that been pumped out ofer the years. More praise should be given to this film as a whole. Yes at points the animation of the turltes can be a little.... jarring to say the least.

However, the storyline is so good I can overlook the jumpscare that is having to look at them during certain scenes. This is one of this first instances on screen prior to the Michael Bay films that I felt really allowed Leo to be more than just a leader to his brothers.

Leonardo in most depictions up until recent years was always shown as the levelheaded leader who rarely has a genuine spat with his team and if he does, it usually has to do with the stress from being a leader and not neccesarily with having to be a brother.

This film follows the turtles after Leo returns from what was supposed to be a few months' mission that turned into a year and him trying to recollect his team. You have Mickey and Donnie who are elated the Leo is home, while Raph carries on as though nothing has changed, almost mad that Leo had the gull to come back.

This boils over into a moving fight scene between Raph and Leo, but the difference from this onscreen arguments between the two than the ones at the time were that they allowed Leo to argue, even physically fight Raph but not as his leader. It was a his genuine brother. They allow Leo to get fed up and tired of Raph's attitude enough to give into the preconceived notion that Raph thinks Leo has about him. If you haven't seen it, I would make it a point to. Especially for this scene alone. Def a 5/5 in my book.

And that's a wrap! Thank you so much for reading my first put together blog post!
