chapter 5 of don’t read the last page is here!

[kristanna / m / multichap / modern au with actress!anna and vetstudent!kristoff]

He’d put the phone down on the counter while he made breakfast, but now that his hands were free again he still didn’t pick it up; after their initial awkward phone call, they’d started FaceTiming instead, and as much as he loved seeing her face, he was really glad she couldn’t see his right now.

“And I was soo confused, so I started telling her, like, ‘Seriously, Honey, he’s got this amazing blond hair that you just like, want to touch all the time and these big brown eyes and little freckles and plus I’m pretty sure he’s kind of ripped and I—‘ Kristoff, I heard the microwave go off already. Are you hiding from me?”

“No,” he muttered, his face turning even redder.

chapter 5

day 1

Sven was just stumbling into the kitchen when Kristoff came in. He frowned, narrowing his eyes suspiciously.

“You look really happy for someone who just dropped off their girlfriend at the airport for a six-week trip,” he said, pouring a glass of chocolate milk.

“Not my girlfriend.”

“Not the important part of that sentence.”

Kristoff snagged the bottle and poured himself a cup. “This is mine, by the way, so you owe me.”

“Fine, I’ll buy toilet paper l-- no, I know you, Bjorgman, you’re trying to distract me.”

Sven narrowed his eyes further, fixing Kristoff with a hard stare. He tried to look as innocent as possible as he went to rummage through the fridge, but then he remembered the way Anna had clung to him, the feel of her little hands in his hair, the press of her lips against--

“Oh my god! You kissed her!”

Kristoff stood, not bothering to hide his smile anymore. “Well, technically, she kissed me.”

“I fucking called it, man, I knew you wouldn’t be able to hold off that much longer.”

“We really did try.”

“You didn’t even make it a week, my guy,” Sven said amiably, meandering into the living room. “You tried harder at Mario Kart the other night. Which, by the way, I know you lost on purpose so Anna could win.”

Kristoff considered arguing, but then his phone lit up with a text from Anna, so instead he grinned and walked away to the sound of Sven sighing dramatically. “I heard that buzz! I know it’s her! Jesus, I’d say get a room, but--”

Kristoff didn’t hear the rest as he shut his bedroom door.

day 4

For some reason, her hands were shaking as they hovered over the green button. “Just do it, Anna,” she muttered to herself. “It’s just Kristoff. He told you to call.”

Thanks to the time difference and long flights, it had taken most of two days to even get here, and on her first full day in Romania she’d been so overwhelmed with the film set and meeting her co-star Adam and talking to the directors and producers and costumers and cameramen that she’d completely crashed the moment she’d gotten back to her hotel room. She’d woken up in the middle of the night and sent Kristoff a quick text apologizing for not calling; he’d responded almost immediately, reassuring her that it was fine and to just call him the next day. At a reasonable hour, he’d made sure to add, not at 2 A.M. Go back to sleep.

She had, and then she’d nearly missed her alarm and hadn’t had time to call him in the morning, and then she’d been filming her first scene and been so overwhelmed by all of that that now it was nearly six o’clock, and it was the first time she’d gotten to look at her phone all day.

He’d texted her once at around 9 A.M. her time. Good luck today! You’ll kill it. Her heart had done a funny little flip at the message, simple as it was; every time she thought of Kristoff, it didn’t feel quite real, like it was just a daydream she would wake up from, but here it was, concrete proof that even literally halfway around the world-- more than halfway, actually-- he was still thinking of her, still caring about her.

The remembrance of that was what finally gave her the courage to hit call. She felt too nervous to FaceTime him, especially considering she was already in sweatpants and halfway through eating a bowl of pasta on her bed. He picked up on the third ring, sounding breathless for some reason.

“Hey! Anna! How are you?”

“I’m, um, I’m good! How are you? You sound kind of...out of breath?”

“Oh, yeah, you caught me at the gym, so I--”

“Oh! I’m so sorry, let me hang up and--”

“No, don’t! I’m almost done, just--”

There was a quick beep in the background, and a whirring noise she hadn’t noticed until now stopped. “Okay, sorry, we’re good.”

She couldn’t help but imagine what he looked like right now, with his hair hanging in his eyes and sweat dripping down his very well-muscled--

“Anna? You there?”

He’d just asked her something, but she’d been too busy daydreaming to catch it. Maybe it really was for the best she hadn’t gone for FaceTime; she probably would have been struck speechless at the sight of him. “Sorry, I was just-- sorry. Um. What did you say?”

He laughed softly. “I asked how your first day of filming went.”

“Oh! It was good, really good, actually. We filmed that scene I auditioned with, actually. They changed the bit about the cowboy boots.”

“Thank god. I don’t know anything about movies, but I know that was awful.”

“Oh, yeah, Adam-- that’s who’s playing Jesse-- he said they’d have to double his paycheck if they wanted him to say shit like that, and then we kind of improv-ed something else and it went really well.”

“That’s awesome!”

Anna felt herself blushing, just barely, at the sound of the genuine pride in his voice. “It was, um, it was nothing, really.”

“So how’s all of it going? Are the...um...honestly, I don’t know who all is involved in making movies. But are the other people nice?”

“Yeah! I really like the girl who does my hair and makeup, her name’s Honey. Isn’t that cute?”

Kristoff laughed; she could hear him starting the car in the background. Anna bit her lip. “Oh-- did you get to shower?”

“I will at home, don’t worry. Anyway--”

“You need to focus on driving? Yeah, I totally get it, seriously. Bye!”

She hit the red button and quickly dropped her phone. Her heart had been pounding the whole time; god, she was really out of practice with this whole thing. Embarrassment swept over her, and she buried her face in her knees; how the hell was this going to work when she was too self-conscious to talk to him for more than five minutes? God, she’d be lucky if he ever bothered to call her again after this.

To her surprise, the phone buzzed only a moment later. She debated picking it up for a long moment, then decided to go ahead and rip the bandaid off and snatched it up.

Just FYI, I was feeling really nervous, too. Want me to call you back after I get home and shower?

For some reason, tears started to fill her eyes as she typed a response.

yes please :)

She showered, too, taking her time as she let the hot water work its magic on the tension in her shoulders, drawing in slow, deep breaths to steady herself. It wasn’t that every guy she’d ever dated had been bad, per se, just that it had been quite a long time since she’d been with someone who made her feel this nervous and excited and terrified and joyful all at once-- actually, now that she thought about it, she didn’t know if she’d ever liked someone else this much right off the bat. Since coming to L.A. almost two years ago, she’d had a string of bad luck with men, and it was strange readjusting to the notion that one would want to talk to her as much as she wanted to talk to him, that he actually wanted to hear about her day, that he saw right through all her embarrassing little defense mechanisms and somehow knew just what to say to make her feel better. Of course they knew each other, but this was something different, something more, as if she didn’t even have to say something for him to understand.

Her phone buzzed again ten minutes after she got out of the shower; with a smile, she picked it up.

“Hey, Kris.”

“Hey, Anna.”

“Ready to try again?”

“With you? Always.”

day 9

“So I was telling her, like, ‘I wish I had a recent picture of him to show you because he’s like, super super hot.’ And she kind of made this face and was like ‘that won’t make a difference.’”

“No,” he muttered, his face turning even redder.

Anna giggled. “Then show me your face.”

He did so reluctantly; to his surprise, she didn’t laugh. “Kris, you know you are, like, super handsome, right? Seriously.”

“I’m, um, I’m just gonna—“

“I mean it. Like I get why you’re feeling shy about it and stuff but just know that, okay?”

He only nodded, feeling a little better, although his face was still heated. Anna, knowing when to leave well enough alone, smiled at him and continued her story. “Anyway, I told her all that and she just started laughing, and finally when I was done she was like ‘Anna, I’m gay’. And so then I showed her a picture of my sister, and I’m just saying, when we’re back in LA, we’re definitely doing a double date.”

day 15

She didn’t know why she felt so nervous about telling him about it. She’d already texted him that morning telling him what scenes they were filming, and it wasn’t like it had meant anything; it was just part of the movie, and Adam was married anyway— but then again, it wasn’t that part that had really been bothering her. She still wasn’t sure until she was explaining it all to Kristoff, forcing herself to maintain eye contact as she held up her phone inside the blanket nest she’d constructed on her bed.

“And like, he and I are good friends now, so that at least made it easier. And we were all in character and stuff, so, you know, it felt right, and then they started the fake snow going and we just did it, you know?”

“Uh-huh,” Kristoff said, his voice neutral.

“That like— this doesn’t bother you, right?” she asked quickly. “Because seriously, it didn’t mean—“

“Anna, I know. This is literally your job, I’m not jealous or anything. But please tell me if I ever make you feel like I’m mad or something, because I’m seriously not.”

She let out the breath she’d been holding. “I— I know. I just...wanted to make sure. Because it still, like...still felt weird to me, you know? And I can’t figure out why.”

He nodded thoughtfully. “Have you done this before? Like, stage kissing and stuff?”

“Oh, yeah, lots of times. But this time felt kind of different. I just don’t know why.”

He considered it for a moment, looking so thoughtful she couldn’t help but smile, feeling a little flutter in her chest at the thought that he really and truly cared about helping her figure this out. “Enough about me, though, tell me about that crazy to-go order you texted me about. Did you end up getting to see the person who’d ordered it?”

They talked for so long Anna lost track of time, until she yawned so widely Kristoff stopped talking mid-sentence.

“Anna, what time is it there?”

“Um...close to eleven?”

“What time did you get up this morning?”

“...four.”

He laughed softly. “Get some sleep. I’ll talk to you again tomorrow morning, okay?”

She wanted to argue, but honestly she’d been fighting to keep her eyes open for the last half hour. “Night, Kris.”

“Night, Anna. Sweet dreams.”

He said that every night, but the way he’d smiled tonight— she was thinking about it until long after she’d hung up her phone and closed her eyes. Then, suddenly, she sat upright and snatched it up again, typing furiously.

figured it out...before, there’s never been someone i ACTUALLY wanted to kiss instead

I wish it had been me, too.

day 21

hey kris!!! sorry i know it’s the middle of the night there so i hope this doesn’t wake you up but i set an alarm on my phone for the exact time and as of like 10 seconds ago we’re halfway there!!!!!!! 😊😊😊

To her surprise, a response came just a few minutes later.

:) Knew we could do this.

—

day 23

“I got my class schedule today.”

“Yeah? Show me!”

He held it up awkwardly to the camera, and she squinted at it. “Oh, wow, that’s a lot of blocks. Are you still going to work at Starbucks?”

“Yeah, I’ve been there the whole time I’ve been in school. Just work less hours on weekdays, usually pick up some early morning weekend shifts.”

“Oh, that sucks.”

He shrugged. “It works out. I, uh, I’ve got some scholarships that cover most of my tuition, so then it’s, y’know. Rent money and stuff.”

Anna frowned, feeling suddenly acutely aware of how much money she was making for a lot less work. “Will you have, like...any free time?”

“Oh, yeah, of course,” he said quickly, suddenly sounding nervous. “I promise I’ll still have time to hang out with you and stuff, just--”

“No, no that’s like-- shit, that’s not what I meant, Kris, I mean I kind of did but like-- I’m not trying to like, pressure you or--”

“No, I get it, I--”

“No, I mean like school is way important and you like--”

“Seriously, when I say we can--”

Anna took a deep breath. “Okay. You talk first.”

“I, um. I don’t want you to think, like, I won’t make time for you or something, though. Um-- that was all.”

She smiled, wishing she could be there in person; it was so much easier to reassure him when she could just squeeze his hand. “Seriously, that’s not what I meant. I was just worried about you, ‘cause that’s, like, a lot of stress. So if there’s anything I can do to like, help or whatever, just...just let me know. Like...with anything.”

“Seriously, I think it’ll help a ton to just have a pretty girl keeping me company while I study.”

She felt her cheeks turn pink. “What if I end up wanting to distract you?”

Now she wasn’t the only one blushing.

day 30

“Miss you.”

“Miss you, too.”

Tonight, there wasn’t really anything else to say.

—-

day 34

He’d stopped leaving his phone on silent overnight; it was silly, really, but he always had a tiny fear that maybe something would happen over in Romania while he was asleep, and maybe Anna would need to reach him, and there probably wouldn’t be anything he could actually do...but still.

Despite that, though, it still took a lot to wake him, so when his phone went off one night close to three in the morning, he nearly missed the call. “Hello?” he mumbled sleepily, putting it to his ear.

He heard a familiar little giggle. “It’s FaceTime, Kris. I’m sorry to wake you up, I just-- I really wanted you to see this.”

“Oh-- hang on.” He fumbled for his glasses on the nightstand, sliding them on and blinking blearily at the screen. “Um...where are you? I just see, like...the ceiling?”

“Oh-- that’s cause I gave my phone to Honey, just a second, and she’ll show you.”

The phone was lifted up suddenly by a pretty woman with bronze skin and dark hair thrown up into a bun. “Nice to meet you, Anna’s boyfriend.”

He wondered if she could see him blush even in the dark room. “Nice to meet you, too.”

“Okay, okay, I’m ready!” he heard Anna chirp from somewhere. “Turn the camera!”

Honey did with a laugh, and Kristoff sat upright, his eyes wide. Anna was in a deep blue ballgown that fit perfectly to her torso before flaring out into a long, shimmery skirt. Her hair was down, set in curls that shone especially bright against the dark color of the gown, and she was smiling so brightly he thought his heart was going to burst.

“You look beautiful, baby,” he said, half-convinced he was still dreaming.

She was quiet for a moment, and then he realized she was blushing bright red. He heard Honey giggle, and then the phone was being handed back over to Anna. “You’ve never called me that before.”

“What, beautiful? I definitely--”

“No, I--” Her blush deepened. “Kris, are you wearing a shirt?”

He glanced down. “Oh-- uh, no, I’m not. Sorry, I didn’t think you’d be able to see without the lights--”

A mischievous glint was twinkling in her eye. “Trust me, Bjorgman, there’s nothing to apologize for.”

Now he was blushing, too. “Um-- so you’ve got to be filming something special today, right?”

“Yeah, the big ballroom scene. I just...I really love this dress, and the way Honey did my hair and stuff, and I, um...I wanted you to see.”

He smiled softly. “I’m glad. You really do look so, so beautiful.”

She opened her mouth to say something else, but then he heard Honey call, “Hey, Anna, say bye to the boyfriend, they want you on set in five.”

Anna turned back to the camera, looking suddenly nervous. “Kris, are you my boyfriend?”

“Do you want me to be?”

“Yeah.”

He grinned, no longer sleepy. “Okay.”

Anna laughed. “Okay?”

“Hey, it’s still the middle of the night, and I’m still kind of speechless after seeing you in that dress. Cut me some slack.”

“Go back to bed. Sorry I woke you up.”

He yawned. “I’m not.”

---

day 40

“Look! All packed!” She grinned, turning her phone quickly around the room to show off her only slightly overstuffed suitcases. “And ready to come home!”

“Do you think you’ll miss it?”

“No, I mean...it’s beautiful and all here, but it’s still not home.”

Kristoff grinned at that. “You still want me to pick you up from the airport?”

“Um, is that even a question?”

He laughed. “Just making sure! I mean, six weeks is a long time, don’t know if you got tired of me.”

“Kristoff, the second I get back to LA, I’m like, jumping on you again and kissing the fuck out of you.”

He waggled his eyebrows. “And then?”

She could tease him, too. “And then you’d better hurry the hell up and take me back to your apartment so I can show you how much I missed you.”

“....Jesus Christ. Why does waiting two more days suddenly feel so much longer than the other forty?”

1: My First Meeting with My Bae

First chapter of a story about my bae. Contains fluff and romance but future chapters contain smut so read at your own risk!

Looking at my watch, I realized that I was late for my bestie’s birthday party. I take out my cell and call her as I walked towards the club.

Ji Woo answers her phone and I could hear barely hear her with all the background noise as she asks “Honey, are you coming?”

“I'm just walking in, where are you?”

As I walked through the doors, the loud music drowns out her answer. Since I couldn't hear her, I decide to hang up and try finding her on my own. I weave through the crowd and circle the dance floor but at just under 150 cms, I couldn't see over anyone. See a empty chair by the speakers, I decide to climb up to see whether I could spot her from there.

Just then, I lose my balance and start falling. I shut my eyes and shriek, thinking I was going to hit the floor. Instead, I hit a warm surface, and feel as if I am suspended in mid-air. A tantalizing spicy and musky smell fills my nose, and I slowly open my eyes. The first thing I see are warm brown eyes with a furrowed brow looking at me with concern. As I keep staring at him, I see that he has multiple ear piercings, a well-defined jawline, platinum blonde hair and was absolutely drop-dead gorgeous! My knight in shining armour lowers his head closer to me until we are almost nose to nose and asks “Are you okay?”

Overwhelmed with how close his face was to me, and conscious of the fact that his lips were only inches from mine, I couldn’t respond. I could only gaze into his eyes as I felt my heart flutter and my cheeks flush. Suddenly I realize that I am cradled against his well-defined chest, and held princess-style by his muscular arms.

He frowns slightly as he looks down at me, starting to look concerned as I wasn’t answering. Again he asks “Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?”

“I...I’m okay” I finally answer. “You can put me down”

He smiles, and his eyes crinkles, making him look even more adorable. He let me down slowly, allowing my body to slide down his on the way to the floor. I could feel every inch of his hard body against mine and my face turns beet red with embarrassment and excitement. When my feet finally hit the ground, I unconsciously take a stop back. I bow to him and say “Kamsamnida. If you didn’t catch me, I would've gotten hurt.”

“Cheonmaneyo. I saw you climb up the stool and was worried you might fall or get hurt so I came over just in case.”

“Well, thank you again.” I smile and turn to walk away.

“Wait...” He grabs my hand and prevents me from leaving.

I turn around, surprised by his warm grip. He didn’t let go, but actually moves both his hands to sandwich mine in-between his. I look up at him questioningly.

He gazes into my eyes and says “I should properly introduce myself. My name is Dong Young-bae. I saw you as soon as you walked into the club and would like to get to know you better. Can we be friends?”

Being from Canada, I hear these types of pick-up lines all the time and thought he was only wanting to score tonight. I was really attracted to him and thought he was cute, but I wasn’t looking for a one-night stand. So I just smile and say “Thank you again for saving me but I have to go find my friend now”. I gently disentangle my hand and walked away.

Minutes later, I finally found Ji Woo and her friends in the corner. “Happy Birthday Ji Woo. I am so sorry I was late. My flight was delayed so I only just dropped off my luggage at the hotel and headed straight here.”

“That’s okay. I’m glad you are here now. Let’s have fun tonight and I will help you look for a place to live tomorrow. These are my friends Sung Ji Ah, Lo, Kim Dae and Park Hyun Jae. This is Honey, my best friend who has just moved here from Canada. So since everyone is here, let’s party!”

We order a couple rounds of drinks, toasted Ji Woo and hit the dance floor. After about 6 songs or so, we head back to our table, out of breath. A few minutes later, Dae screams and starts fanning herself with her hands.

“What’s wrong Dae?”

“OMG!! Do you see who is here? BB!! And Young-Bae is looking this way!!”

All the other girls including Ji Woo started fixing their hair and make-up and were shaking in excitement. I looked at them confusedly as I had no idea what was going on. “Who?” I asked.

“Big Bang, the kings of K-Pop. And they are all so damn gorgeous!" explained Ji Woo.

"Eek!! They are heading this way!!” shrieked Dae.

We all turn around to look at the 5 guys approaching us. I was surprised to see that one of them was the same man who had saved me earlier. Though all the guys were handsome in different ways, the only one I could really see was Young-bae. He was really gorgeous with that platinum hair, brown eyes, and full lips that were currently smiling. I continued looking at the rest of him, and noticed a tattoo peeking out of the side of his oversized white tank that showed off his broad shoulders and muscular arms...and down to his tight pants which clearly outlined every part of him. Remembering the feel of his body from earlier, I blush and looked down.

Moments later, a pair of boots enter my vision, and I heard his sexy deep voice say “Hi again. I was wondering if my friends and I can join you guys tonight.”

“Of course you can. We would be so honored” my friends exclaim since I didn't say anything.

I felt someone sit beside me. I turn my head slightly and look up into the warm gaze of Young-bae. He smiles at me and waves to a server who immediately brings over several bottles of champagne.

Everyone introduces themselves, and I meet the rest of the band: Ji-young, Seung-hyun (T.O.P.), Seung-hyun (Seungri) and Daesung.

"So, do you two know each other?" Dae asks as she looks between me and Young-bae curiously.

"Yes and no" explains Young-bae. "Honey had a small accident when she got here and I helped her out, but I didn't catch her name. I was worried I may have offended her so I thought I should come by and explain myself."

"Ooooohhh" cooed my friends "that is so sweet..."

I could feel my face turning red and didn't know what to say to this.

Young-bae turns to me and says “Mianhaeyo. I didn’t mean to come on too strong earlier and scare you. From the minute I saw you, I thought you were someone special and I wanted the chance to get to know you better. I want to be friends long-term”

“Yes Honey. Please forgive Youngbae. He's never had a girlfriend and he has never shown any interest in any girls before so you must be someone special. Plus he doesn’t know how to act around someone he likes. Give him a chance please!" begged his band mates.

I look up at Young-bae from under my lashes, blush and smile. “Okay.”

Young-bae blushes and smiles back at me while our friends exploded into cheers.

We spend the next few hours drinking and dancing. A slow song comes on, and Young-bae takes my hand and pulls me onto the dance floor. He wraps his arms tightly around me and pulls me close to his body. I place my left cheek on his chest and melt into him. His arms tightens, and he rests his cheek on the top of my head.

“Are you okay?” he asks softly.

“Ummm. This feels nice.” I say as I start rubbing my cheek against his chest, and running my hands up and down his back. I had let my inhibitions loose as I was slightly drunk and jet lagged.

Young-bae leans back slightly and looks down at me. He lifts my chin up so that I was looking up at him. He asks "May I kiss you?"

I hesitate and then I slowly nod.

Young-bae lowers his head towards mine. Nervously I watch his lips get closer and closer. I feel his breath on me, and then his lips were on mine. He kisses me softly, just light little brushes of his soft lips. I moan, and his kiss becomes harder and more demanding. I feel his tongue brush against my lips, asking for permission to enter, and then plunders its way in. My tongue touches his and he moans and deepens the kiss even more. He grabs my hips and pull them forward and up to meet his. I could feel a hard bulge against me, so I go up on my tip toes and press harder against him. He nips at my lips and kisses me until I am breathless. He pulls back a bit and rests his forehead on mine, breathing heavily.

Young-bae moves his lower body away so it was no longer touching me and explains “I need to calm down before we get off this dance floor otherwise everyone is going to know how excited I am.”

I blush and nod. After a few minutes, we leave the dance floor and meet up with our friends at the table. Young-bae is still holding my hand when we sit down, so I try to pull it away but his grip just tightens. He interlaces our fingers together and leans over to whisper in my ear "Now that I've caught you, I'm never letting go." and then kisses me on the cheek.

"Ooooh. Way to go Young-bae!" yells Seungri.

Our friends are now all heckling us. My face is bright red by now. "Stop!! You're embarrassing her. Show some respect to your Agassi" orders Young-bae as he pulls my head down to his shoulder and wraps his arms around me.

Ji Woo stands and pulls me up "We've got to go to the little girls room" and drags me off.

Once in the washroom, Ji Woo turns to me "So what's the scoop? Didn't you say you just met? This seems to be happening pretty fast. You aren't usually like this!"

"Well, Young-bae is a little assertive." I say. "I am really attracted to him - more so than anyone I've ever met. I didn't expect things to progress this fast. I thought I would get to know him first and see how things go, but he..."

"He what?" demands Ji Woo. "Did he do something to hurt you already? If he did, I 'm going to kill him no matter who he thinks he is!"

"No! He didn't do anything bad! It's just..." my voice then lowers "he's already kissed me when we were dancing. And it was amazing...I have never felt this way...it was like what you read in romance novels where you kiss and there are fireworks!"

Ji Woo looks at me as if I am crazy. Maybe I am as I've never been the one to be excited about a guy - not even with my ex-boyfriends. Ji Woo then sighs and says "As long as you are happy. At least I can say that the relationship thing in Korea is a bit different than Canada. Don't get me wrong, you still have one-night stands and the such, but he's already telling his friends to call you sister-in-law which means he is at least somewhat serious about you."

Ji Woo opens up her purse, and takes something out and thrusts it into your hand. "Here. You might need this later!"

I look at what she gave me and immediately hold it back out to her "Ji!! I don't need this. You know I'm still a virgin! Nothing is going to happen!"

Ji Woo pushes it back to me and tucks it into my purse. "I'm not saying that it will happen tonight. But considering how assertive he is, and how you are already looking at him with stars in your eyes, I am sure it will happen at some point. It is better to have protection around just in case."

I don't say anything but leave the 2 foil packs in my purse. We head back out to our table and find that the group is playing a drinking game. As I sit back down beside Young-bae, he grabs my hand in his.

As I am not 100% familiar with the Asian style of games, I lost quite a bit though Young-bae was a gentleman and helped me drink some of the shots. The more Young-bae drank, the more affectionate he got - often brushing back my hair from my face, stroking my hand, and giving me little kisses on my hand and cheek.

After another hour of drinking, we were all fairly drunk. Ji Woo had already passed out on the couch. so we decide to head out.

I thought I would take Ji home but her friends said that they would take care of her since I just arrived in town, and my hotel was in the opposite direction. So I saw them off in a cab.

As I turn around, I see Young-bae and his group of friends at another cab. Ji-young' arm was over Young-bae's shoulder and was being helped to the car when Seungri hugs Young-bae from the back and put his hands in his pockets. I smile at the obvious affection between the group and turn around to flag a cab.

Just as the cab stops, Young-bae jogs up to me. I look up at him and say "Oh, I thought you were leaving with your friends."

"I was just making sure the cab driver got the address right since the guys are pretty drunk. I was going to see you back to your hotel first."

You smile at Young-bae and say "It's okay. I can get back on my own. You should go home as it's pretty late."

Young-bae grabs my hand, opens the car door and climbs in after me. "You're my girlfriend. I have to look after you. I can't let you go home by yourself this late as it isn't safe. Don't worry, I will take you back to the hotel and then head home."

The time I met AJ Cook

I wanted to type out this whole experience before it starts get all fuzzy, so here goes!

A little context for anyone who doesn’t follow me, I’m a huge AJ Cook fan living in Perth, Western Australia. I’ve always admired AJ from afar, kind of just accepting that I would never get to meet her because of the fact that we live on opposite sides of the world.

In April last year (2018), I travelled to Los Angeles with my dance studio to perform at Disneyland. We had eight days together, performing, learning, and having a great time. It was particularly special for me as it was my first overseas trip without my parents, and the furthest I had travelled since going to Thailand in 2010. At the conclusion of the tour, I was expecting to travel around with one of the other girls, Steph, as we had both extended our stays in the USA. After bidding half the group goodbye on the evening of Thursday, April 19th, we headed to Venice Beach, where we had booked four nights in a hostel to just wind down after the craziness of the last eight days. On Monday April 23rd, we were ticketed to fly to San Francisco.

It was here we hit a road bump. Steph suffers from chronic fatigue and generally gets travel sickness and really bad jet lag. She hadn’t been well the entire time we were on tour, throwing up a few times, including on the bus back from Universal Studios 😞 by Saturday night, we were in the ER, getting her rehydrated and prescribed anti-nausea, as well as removing two infected piercings from her right ear which were causing her an insane amount of pain. Sunday morning came, and I wanted to go out and explore the south beaches (Manhattan, Hermosa, etc) because I was really not keen on the Venice area. Steph convinced me to go because she didn’t want me cooped up because of her.

So I got an Uber to the Hermosa Beach area, where there was a heap of cafes, a few little stores, and a metric fuckton of people. Not even kidding. Feeling a bit out of my element (and with aching calves thanks to hiking to the Hollywood sign the previous day), I set off down the path away from the busiest area, wanting to find a nice spot to sit on the beach and take it all in.

As I walked, I passed about 50 blonde women. Seriously, everyone in Hermosa is blonde with a tan. That struck me with the sudden reminder that Hermosa is the area around which AJ Cook lives/hangs out in. I kind of laughed to myself and thought “wouldn’t that be hilarious if the one day I’m down here, she was here”.

About two minutes later, I neared some volleyball nets. I was half looking at my phone as I got there, and when I did, I glanced up and almost dropped my phone in shock. Because I immediately recognised Nathan, AJ’s husband, and on the other side of the net to him, was AJ.

Immediately I was like “omg omg omg” and I knew I would eventually have to go up and say hi or I would severely regret it, but at first I doubled back, walked in a wide circle around the net, and sat down in the sand a little ways down the beach. I was on my own, and I knew I would have to muster up the courage to go and say hi all by myself (thankfully @thetheatrelady and @cmcrazies were texting me and giving me the moral support I needed).

After sitting there for nearly ten minutes, I got up and slowly made my way over to the nets. AJ was standing there chatting to her friend, who she later introduced as Vinny, while Nate was down at the water with the boys.

Even though I know she’s just a normal person like us, I was bricking it as I got closer, but I still smiled and tried to gently get her attention without interrupting them too much.

Me: “I’m so sorry to interrupt, but... are you AJ?”

AJ: “Hey, hi! Yes I am!”

Me: “I’m such a big fan, I just wanted to come and say hi”

At this point AJ gave me this huge smile and held out her hand to shake mine.

AJ: “Well, hey! What’s your name?”

Me: “Courtney”

AJ: “Nice to meet you Courtney, where are you from?”

Me: “I’m from Perth, in Australia”

AJ: “Oh my god, no way! I’ve always wanted to go to Australia! What brings you to the US?”

Me: “I came with my dance studio. We just did a week performing at Disneyland. We got to do the parade”

AJ: “Oh some of our Canadian friends did that! What did you think?”

Me: “It was amazing. Once in a lifetime experience”

At that point, Nathan returned with the boys, at which point Phoenix proceeded to strip naked and lie face down in the sand 😂

AJ: “Oh, this is my husband, Nate, and our friend Vinny”

Mekhai walked up and wrapped his arms around AJ’s waist (HE IS SO TALL GUYS)

AJ: “This is Mekhai, and that lil’ naked one over there is Phoenix. Nate, this is Courtney, from Australia!”

Nate: “Oh hey, I think I know you from Instagram!”

(I almost died when he said that 😂)

Nate: “So how long are you in the US for?”

Me: “Nine weeks all up”

Nate: “ooh that’s a long time!”

Me: “yeah, well it’s seventeen hours of flying before you even count the time in airports for me to get here, so I thought I would make the most of it”

AJ: “Yeah, I’ve seen that the flights to Australia are super long. Where else are you going? Are you doing all this by yourself?”

Me: “My friend is supposed to come with me, but she’s super sick so i think she’s going home. But I’m going to San Francisco tomorrow. Then up to Toronto to see the Falls. Then onto Boston-“

Mekhai: “BOSTOOON!”

AJ: *laughing* “He loves the Boston Celtics”

Me, laughing at Mekhai: “Um, then to New York, where I join a group bus tour, and we basically go down the east coast and across the South before getting back here. Then I’m flying to Honolulu to meet my dad for a week before we go home”

Nate: “That sounds really cool. You’re gonna love Hawaii”

Me: “I’m really excited about Hawaii”

AJ: “Well it sounds like an amazing trip!”

Me: “I hope so”

There was a little bit of light chatter between myself and Nathan, who is SUPER friendly and so so lovely, he’s definitely way more of a teddy bear than he looks, before I turned back to AJ.

Me: “Would I be able to get a photo?”

AJ: “yeah of course!”

She wrapped a towel around her waist while I gave my phone to Nathan, and he proceeded to take a few photos for me from different angles 😂 you can tell he does this a lot. Then he handed the phone back to me and said “I think they’ll be appropriate for Instagram!”

I just laughed, and then because I didn’t want to look like a crazy fan, I put my phone away without even looking at it and picked up my bag.

AJ: “it was so nice to meet you! We’ll look you up if we’re ever in Australia”

I laughed and dropped a not so subtle hint for them to visit Perth.

Me: “anyway, thanks so much! I should probably go, but you guys have a good day!”

AJ: “you too! I hope your friend feels better!”

I thanked them again, and turned to leave, as calmly as I could, and walked until I was out of eyesight of them before pulling out my phone.

Later that day when my mum woke up, she texted me to see what I had been up to, and this was our exchange 😂

But yeah! That’s my whole experience! AJ was so so lovely and welcoming, and I never felt like I was intruding. They were warm and friendly and perfectly happy to chat with me! The other thing that really struck me was how much of an interest they took on me and what I was doing in the US. It was truly the thing that topped off my entire trip. The one person I wanted to meet most in my life, and I got to do it on an absolutely amazing trip. Even my mum said, if she had asked me before I left who I would want to meet most while I was there, I would have said AJ.

And even now, when I interact with Nate on Instagram, he remembers me and refers back to that day! Overall, a super cool experience, and I’m extremely grateful and know how lucky I am that me, a 21 year old Aussie tourist on her first big overseas solo trip, got to meet one of her favourite people in the entire world by the biggest stroke of coincidence around.

Tagging @cheetobreath96 because she was the first one I ever relayed the entire story to 🤗

Undone, Chapter 14 (Bitney) - Stephanie/Veronica

A/N: Welcome to Chapter 14 of UNDONE, our slow burn Bitney lesbian AU. Here’s a link to the previous chapters.

Summary: Bianca escapes to a gig in Atlanta at the perfect time, as things are getting real tense with Jared.

Thank you to everyone who beta’d while I changed around the plot 40 times: @kitschypixel @sheofthethrone @jillybean2314 @theartificialdane

TW: This story deals with themes of emotional abuse, and since that can be subtle, we’re going to keep a general TW on all of the chapters.

***

Bianca falls into bed beside Jared, sighing. Her buzz from dinner has unfortunately worn off and now she just feels tired. She glances over at Jared, who seems to be ignoring her, tapping furiously at his phone, brow furrowed.

She picks up her own phone, scrolling absentmindedly through Instagram. She pauses on Courtney’s latest picture: she’s in Sydney, at the Mardi Gras parade, surrounded by throngs of colorful revelers, covered in glitter, rainbow streaks in her hair. Her expression is jubilant, ecstatic.

Bianca likes the photo, begins to slowly type out a comment. “You look like...” her fingers hover over the keys, stomach twisting. Joy. Perfection. Everything I have ever wanted.

“What are you lookin’ at?” Jared asks, turning onto his side.

"Oh, um, my friend is in Sydney for Mardi Gras. It looks crazy,” Bianca answers.

“That Australian girl from the show? The lesbian?"

"Uh, yeah." Bianca is a little surprised that Jared made the connection. But, she supposes that she has mentioned Courtney to him a few times before. She’s certainly not trying to hide anything.

Jared moves a little closer, asking, “What does she look like? Is she cute?" He tries to grab her phone and she jumps away.

“Stop!”

Jared laughs, now enjoying the struggle.

"Why won't you let me see her?!"

"I'm in the middle of writing a comment!"

“So what?! Give me the phone!"

Bianca quickly deletes what she was writing, cheeks burning with...something. She’s not sure what, but she feels a little hot and wonders if maybe the alcohol from earlier hasn’t quite worn off like she thought. She gulps, handing over the phone and watching his face carefully.

"Daaaaamn..." Jared lets out a low whistle, clicking on Courtney’s username and checking out her other recent pictures. “Are you sure she’s a lesbian?”

“Uh, yeah. Pretty sure,” Bianca answers, slightly irritated.

“Huh. She doesn’t look like one. She looks...sexy.”

Bianca isn’t sure why that comment annoys her so much, but she doesn’t like the expression on his face as he scrolls through the pictures. It almost feels like he’s stealing something from her. When he double-taps a picture from last autumn, Bianca quickly snatches the phone back.

"What are you doing?!" she shrieks, and he begins to laugh.

"I just liked a picture, what?"

“But...but we're friends, and that was like, a thot picture of her in a bathing suit, from like months ago, you can't-oh my god..."

“Who cares?"

Bianca sighs and patiently asks, “If Willam posted a picture of his ass, would you like it?”

“Uh...if he looked like her, yeah.”

“Way to miss the point.”

“Okay, so just unlike it then. Or tell her it was me.”

Bianca stares at him for a moment before exclaiming, “That’s even worse!”

“B…” A sly smile spreads across Jared’s face. He leans in and murmurs, “Do you have a crush on this girl?” He presses a kiss to her neck.

“Stop it,” Bianca says, pulling away. “Of course not.”

“Yeah, you do,” he insists, arms sliding back around her. “You naughty girl.”

“I don’t-”

“It's okay, baby, it's hot.” Jared nuzzles her ear, hard dick against her hip. “My bad girl. Should I punish you?”

“Jared-”

“Remember that girl junior year? The redhead?”

Bianca’s stomach is tight, her breath shallow. Another protest is on the tip of her tongue, but seeing his sleepy-eyed leer, she relents, letting him pin her wrists over her head, climb on top of her.

“Don’t be ashamed, babe. I told you, it’s hot,” he says, smirking down at her.

Bianca nods, biting her lip. She supposes that she should be grateful. Not all husbands would be this open-minded. This forgiving.

“I mean, if it was a guy, I’d have to kill him. But…” Jared laughs, a hollow laugh that makes Bianca shiver. “But this? I’m into it.”

Bianca stares up at the ceiling, blinking back tears. Where the fuck did those come from? She brushes them away angrily, closing her eyes, while he slides down her pajama bottoms.

***

Courtney flops down onto her sofa, finally home after almost 18 hours of traveling. She breathes a sigh of relief and picks up her phone. Her first message sounds way too needy, and she quickly deletes it, trying to think of a way to say what she wants without being such an obvious jet-lagged emotional mess.

COURTNEY: I really miss the way you manhandle my seams <3

BIANCA: lol, you’re an idiot <3

COURTNEY: When do you leave for Atlanta?

BIANCA: Saturday.

COURTNEY: Shit. Maybe we can do lunch sometime this week?

BIANCA: I wish. I’m so fucking slammed with prep. I don’t even know when I’m gonna pack.

Courtney lets her head fall backwards, deflating a little. She’s been getting the sense that Bianca was pulling away, although sometimes it’s hard to tell if it’s real or just all in her head. The idea of waiting months before seeing her again is a crushing blow, but she doesn’t want to make her feel bad.

COURTNEY: Ok. I’ll let you get back to it then. Have a safe trip. <3

***

Bianca stares out the window at the puffy white clouds, a sense of relief making her feel more relaxed than she remembers being in...years, maybe. Maybe the most relaxed she’d ever been sober.

She hates to admit how tense things have been with Jared lately. But after she’d kissed him goodbye and gotten into the uber, it was as if every cell in her body exhaled.

Or, maybe it’s just the excitement of finally being a department head, for a beautiful little indie film set in the 1960s. Finally having a project where her creative vision would be fully realized, the director and producer basically giving her carte blanche because they loved her preliminary sketches so much. And of course, there’s the fact that she’ll be living in the same city as Latrice for the first time since high school. That must be it.

She smiles, bending down to drop a few treats into the dogs’ travel bag.

***

Bianca yanks open the door of the little sidewalk cafe and rushes over to Latrice - her oldest friend, the person who knows her best in the world. She throws herself into Latrice’s arms, the taller woman letting out a deep laugh as she embraces her tightly, saying, “I missed you, too, gorgeous.”

Once they’re seated, Latrice pushes a glass of sweet tea over to Bianca.

“Alright. Give me the latest. What’s going on? How’s your team? How’s Prince Charming coping with you being gone?”

“The crew’s great, I’m really excited about this show. And...he’ll be fine.”

“Are you sure about that?” Latrice asks with a chuckle. “Remember when we went to Barbados and he called you 20 times a day? That boy can barely breathe without you.”

“Well, he’s busy too,” Bianca says, feeling just a little defensive. Jared had spent her last 2 weeks in LA going on and on about what a sacrifice he was making, how hard her absence was going to be for him, how grateful she should be that he was so understanding. By the end, she had conceded every point out of pure exhaustion.

“Sure, I know. But...it’s hard to make a baby long distance. Is he gonna come visit for Game Day?”

Bianca forces a laugh.

“No, I don’t think so. Actually, I haven’t even been tracking for a couple months.”

“Really? Just letting Jesus take the wheel?”

“Yeah. Well…I mean, it’s been such a stressful process. And the last doctor I saw basically told me that I was like...trying too hard. And also...” Bianca trails off, looking down. She hasn’t admitted the next part out loud yet. Maybe she hasn’t even admitted it to herself.

Latrice covers Bianca’s hand with her own.

“Yeah?”

“I dunno. I guess…” Bianca looks away. “I’ve been having some doubts about whether we’re even meant to...have kids. What if it hasn’t happened for a reason?”

“B…” Latrice pauses, searching for the best way to respond.

“...well, isn’t it possible? Que sera sera and all that shit.”

“You know, someday, you’re gonna give yourself a break from all this neurotic self torture. And that will be a beautiful day,” Latrice says.

“You’re right.” Bianca clears her throat. “I just need to chill. Obviously. But...enough about my bullshit. Tell me about the wedding plans!”

***

Work is slow for Courtney in the spring, so she asks her old modeling agents to toss her some commercial work. When she learns about the first job they booked for her, she doesn’t know whether to be horrified or proud. It’s a pretty big print ad campaign, for Johnson & Johnson. She’s playing a mother, lovingly placing a BandAid on her baby. When Bianca learns of the whole thing via text, she’s utterly amused.

BIANCA: BAHAHAHAHAHA

BIANCA: Should I call you Mommy now?

COURTNEY: If that’s what you’re into ;)

BIANCA: omg

COURTNEY: It’s cool, I don’t kink shame

BIANCA: SHUT UP OMG

Later in the week, she texts Bianca from the set to give her an update, curled in a chair in the greenroom.

COURTNEY: OK so I’m at this shoot, and they tell me they want me to show some “respectable mum cleavage” in the shot when I lean over to put the band-aid on the kid. I LOL’d IRL, because hello? Wrong girl.

BIANCA: lol awwww. Can’t relate.

COURTNEY: Thanks, I’m WELL aware

BIANCA: ;)

COURTNEY: So their brilliant solution was to tape me into this wonderbra/bustier thing, and to further emphasize my (lack of) tits, they are contouring and highlighting the fuck out of my chest. I feel like a goddamn drag queen.

BIANCA: HAHA, you would be the worst drag queen. Do you even own makeup?

COURTNEY: MEANWHILE this damn baby is just sitting over in the corner drooling. He better not be making more than me.

BIANCA: He probably is. Needed: Caucasian baby, must not roll eyes when co-star waxes poetic about vegan pudding for 30 minutes.

COURTNEY: IF YOU ARE IMPLYING THAT THE VEGGIE GRILL PUDDING ISNT WORTHY OF POETRY THEN YOURE A DEMON

BIANCA: Calm down, crazy

COURTNEY: Omg they just applied the fake wound to him and it’s a little horrible looking. I’m actually worried that I might not put this band-aid on him properly. What if he bleeds out and dies? I don’t think I’m ready for motherhood. I CANT TAKE THIS PRESSURE

BIANCA: You’re gonna be fine. ;P

COURTNEY: Okay he made it. Phew.

BIANCA: I was on pins and needles.

It’s like an addiction, this need to share everything with Bianca. To make her laugh, to get her feedback, to know all of the mundane details of her day. To connect, as often as possible. Courtney knows that she’s in way over her head, but she doesn’t care. She just wants more.

***

Bianca doubles over laughing as Chris recounts a story of trying to take Latrice white water rafting. Latrice tries to chime in and dispute some of his facts, but she’s laughing too hard to be very effective.

“Honestly Chris. What on earth made you think that was a good idea?!” Bianca asks him, wiping tears from her eyes. She takes a sip of her wine and helps them load plates into the dishwasher.

“I...I don’t know. Seemed like an adventure?” Chris says with a sheepish grin. He places a newly washed pan in the drying rack.

“Lesson learned!” Latrice pipes up, sliding the leftovers into the fridge. “Now go away so we can talk about your dick.”

“You could just say that you wanna chill with your friend,” Chris laughs, kissing her on the cheek as he sails out the door.

Latrice slings an arm over Bianca’s shoulder and guides her into the living room.

“I’m really glad that I’m getting to know Chris better,” Bianca says, settling onto the sofa. “He’s just so great.”

“He is. I’m very lucky.”

“Well, you’re both lucky.” She flashes a grin and Latrice smiles back.

“How about you? How are you doing?”

“Good! Yeah, the show is humming along, the crew is better than I thought, it’s been…” Bianca shrugs, letting out a contented sigh. “It’s been amazing.”

“And...how’s Prince Charming? Still surviving without you?”

“He’s okay. Actually...” Bianca bites her lip nervously. “To be honest, it’s been kind of wonderful to be on my own. I haven’t really thought about him that much.”

Latrice raises an eyebrow.

“I know, it’s awful, right? I’m a terrible wife.”

“Of course not. Everyone needs some alone time, B. But...is it more than that?”

“No!” Bianca exclaims, a little too vehemently, then asks, “...Why?”

“You just seem a little tense every time I mention him.”

“Yeah, I don’t know.” Bianca looks down, fighting the urge to guzzle her entire glass of wine in one gulp.

“Are things okay with you guys? You know, it’s okay to have issues. Every couple goes through ups and downs. You don’t have to be perfect all the time-”

“I know that!” Bianca sighs. “Anyway, it’s nothing to do with him. Or…”

“I’m listening.”

“I think I may have...um...fallen for someone else.”

“You did what now?” Latrice sits back, eyebrow raised in judgment.

“Don’t look at me like that,” Bianca says, eyes downcast. “I haven’t done anything.”

“I just wonder how many years this boy has to jump through hoops before you see how good he is to you,” Latrice sighs.

Bianca swallows.

“I mean, come on, B. Is there really someone better out there? Or is this just more of the same commitment-phobic stuff that you’ve been putting him through since college?”

“Stop. Forget it. I’m sure this time away will...make me realize how much I miss him, and-”

“I just don’t know why you torture yourself. And him. He worships you. Why can’t you enjoy it? And who is this other person? Your typical pretty boy type?” Latrice asks.

“She’s-”

“Oh, so we’re back to girls, eh?” Latrice teases. “That’s fun.”

“It’s really annoying when you pretend not to know how bisexuality works,” Bianca informs her.

“Sorry, sorry,” Latrice rolls her eyes. “And does she grovel at your feet, like your husband?” The disapproval drips from her tone.

“No...she...it’s a totally different situation.” Bianca presses her lips together. She’s trying not to squirm, not to appear too gleeful, but thinking about Courtney always causes her to get a little giddy.

“Alright, go ahead. I can tell you’re dying to tell me all about her. Just remember, Jesus is listening.”

“Noted,” Bianca says, then leans forward, lowering her voice for some reason. Maybe to make things a little harder for Jesus to hear. “She’s...like...unbelievably gorgeous...but that’s not even the best thing about her. I mean, she’s sexy, but also so smart, and fun, and like...she has this charming, effervescent personality...I’m so fucked.”

“Yeah, sounds like it,” Latrice sighs. “Well...I mean, how deep are these feelings? Is it like, a crush, or…?”

“I think it started out that way,” Bianca admits. “Things are just like...I feel more myself when I’m with her. It’s like being with you.”

“Are you hitting on me now?”

“No,” Bianca laughs. “I just mean that like...I don’t know, the attraction is always there, right? But also, we’re friends.”

“You’re not friends with Jared?”

“It’s just...different with him. It’s more tense. More...complicated.”

“Couldn’t that just be a case of...you know, the grass is always greener on the other side?”

“It could be…” Bianca pauses thoughtfully, sipping her wine.

“Because you know, every relationship is complicated. But there’s a reason that you guys are still together, right? I mean, he suffered through that endless engagement. That means something.”

“It does. But Courtney-that’s her name, by the way.”

“Courtney,” Latrice mimics in a Valley-girl accent, making Bianca laugh a little. “Ugh. You would fall for a Courtney.”

Bianca smirks, then sighs. “Well, for starters, she doesn’t make me feel like my career is a pointless waste of time…”

Latrice opens her mouth, but then stops. It had been a throwaway comment, but something about it made her pause. For years, all Latrice heard about was how much Jared worshipped Bianca. His endless love and affection and understanding. The idea of him thinking that anything she does is a ‘pointless waste of time’ is...incongruous in a way that makes a giant red flag flash for Latrice. She tilts her head, careful to pay extra attention to what Bianca is saying, and particularly the way she’s fidgeting, the anxious look in her eyes.

“...and, I guess...spending time with her made me realize how often I’m walking on pins and needles around Jared. He’s so moody, and I...I thought it was me. You know, because I can be...”

Latrice frowns.

“You can be what?”

“I mean, I push people’s buttons. I’m not sensitive, and I make people upset. You know, you’ve seen it,” Bianca sighs.

“What are you talking about, B?”

“Well, like, remember in high school, with Alyssa?” Bianca begins tearing up the napkin in her hands.

“Yeah, I remember Alyssa, but what-”

“You know, I would say the wrong thing, trying to be funny or whatever, and she’d like, lose it. Remember? I was always making her cry, or-”

“Bianca, Alyssa was crazy. Like, legit bonkers. That wasn’t your fault, at all.” Latrice reaches out to grasp her hand.

“But I made it worse. I mean, I certainly didn’t help,” Bianca insists.

“Okay, sure. Because you were 17 years old. Not a mental health care professional. It still wasn’t your fault.”

Bianca looks down, and Latrice swallows.

“What does this have to do with Jared, though? Does he...I mean, is he as volatile as her? Because-”

“No, of course not.”

“So…”

Bianca takes a deep breath.

“He just...sometimes...gets...upset, and angry. Really angry, and I…it makes me...” Bianca wipes a tear from the corner of her eye. “It’s unsettling, like I don’t know...when the rug’s gonna be yanked out from under my feet, and…and I don’t know if it would be right to bring a child into that...”

Latrice moves closer to her on the sofa, something clicking in her mind and filling her with fear and guilt. She feels like the worst friend in the world for not seeing it, for believing the stories, for failing to probe deeper before now. She squeezes Bianca’s hand a little, before asking softly, “B...has he ever hurt you?”

“No! God, no. Forget it, this is...I’m obviously just being dramatic, you know, so-”

“But he makes you feel...scared?”

“Not scared, exactly. Just...uneasy. Sometimes. I’m blowing this totally out of proportion. Probably just, like, to ease my own guilt about being a shitty wife who pisses him off and then fantasizes about my coworker like a dumb fucking-”

“Okay! Okay, so, let’s say, for a second, that you’re not blowing things out of proportion.”

“But I am. I mean you thought I was trying to say that he-” Bianca’s breath hitches. “He would never-”

“Okay.” Latrice holds up her hands. She can see that the vulnerable part of their conversation is over, and she doesn’t want to push Bianca any more, so instead she gets down to business. “I believe you. But...if things get worse, or...have you thought about what you would actually do? Where you would go? Do you have your own bank account, credit cards? Is everything joint, or-”

“Latrice, stop. This is ridiculous, I’m not some battered wife who needs-”

“No, but...you still might want to leave, at some point, so...didn’t you sign a pre-nup? What if he tries to claim that you cheated? Are his parents vindictive? We know the answers to all of these questions and you are totally fucked. You need to open a bank account, stat.”

Bianca looks down, tears rolling down her cheeks.

“I’m not leaving, I already know that. And you were the one defending him ten minutes ago, so I don’t understand-”

“I know! I know, but...this is just a safety net, okay? Plan B. In case things get worse and you need... Look, Plan A is still that you stay married, and work out whatever you need to, and have a long life and beautiful children who will grow up as spoiled as your horrible little rat dogs.”

Bianca begins to laugh through her tears, crawling into Latrice’s arms.

“Why do I do this? Why do I ruin things?”

“Hey.” Latrice takes Bianca’s face in her hands. “I’m sorry if it felt like I was taking his side over yours...I’m on your side, always, okay?”

Bianca nods, letting her friend rock her, stroking her hair and telling her that everything is going to work out.

***

“Oh man,” Bianca groans, sinking into her bed. The dogs are going crazy, smelling everything and jumping all over her. “You guys excited to be home? Huh?” she asks, scratching Dede behind the ears.

“Not as excited as I am to have you back…” Jared says, sliding in beside her.

Bianca turns to look at him. Maybe there was something to that whole ‘absence makes the heart grow fonder’ after all. She smiles and runs her fingers through his hair.

“So...you missed me?”

“Like crazy,” Jared murmurs, nuzzling closer.

For a moment, Bianca feels utterly content, sleepy eyes falling closed. But then, as his hands move to her fly, popping the button, she wriggles away, sitting up a little.

“Seriously? It’s been over 2 months,” Jared whines, pulling her back down.

“I know, but I’m just...I’ve been traveling all day. I’m exhausted, and I feel filthy, and-”

“I like you filthy,” he growls into her ear. “Come on…”

“Jared…” she pushes him away harder.

“Fine! I got the fucking hint. You don’t have to be such a…” he scoffs. “Forget it.”

“I’m sorry. I just need to like, rest and then shower, and-”

“Whatever, Bianca. I’m a monster for wanting to have sex with my wife. Message received.” He rises from the bed.

Bianca doesn’t have the energy to chase after him. Not today. She falls back against the pillows with a groan.

They have a luxurious three weeks to prep season two of Silver Screens, and by the first shoot day, Bianca’s confidence in her work is soaring. Beth has trusted her more than ever, and she’s now designing nearly half of the costumes on the show. But as good as she feels about her job, nothing compares to the heart-bursting joy she feels when the trailer door swings open and Courtney comes flying into her arms, practically knocking her over.

“Hey!” Bianca says, hugging her tightly. She inhales deeply, loving the way Courtney melts into her arms, face tucked into the crook of her neck as if it belongs there. An embarrassing heat creeps into her cheeks as she pulls back a little. “How have you been?”

“Pretty good! Just got back from that music video shoot in Seattle. What about you? How was Atlanta? I’m so proud of you!”

“It was good. You know me, I love to boss people around.”

“And you’re so good at it,” Courtney says, still gripping both of her hands tightly. She glances down and then says, “Hey, where’d your nails go?”

“Oh, uh. Yeah, they kept breaking, so…” Bianca’s usual French tips have been replaced by short, shiny red nails.

“Hmm. I like these a lot better.” Her eyes dance mischievously. “They’re, uh...very practical.”

“Is your mind always in the gutter?” Bianca asks, cheeks burning, palms itching. She has an instinct to rip her hands away, but doesn’t.

“What?! I just said I like them,” Courtney giggles, squeezing Bianca’s fingers, gazing up at her with glittering eyes. “So, are we gonna hang out before the season starts to kick your ass? I really missed you.”

Bianca clears her throat and pulls up a stool, trying to cover the fact that she’s literally weak at the knees.

“Uh...sure...”

“Are you free Saturday?” Courtney asks.

“Actually, no. One of Jared’s douchey coworkers is having a barbecue, let’s-get-fucked-up-cause-it’s-summer type thing. And I promised his fiancée that I’d go, so...ugh. Saturday with the bros.”

“Sounds enchanting,” Courtney laughs.

“You should come!” Bianca blurts out, and then adds, “I mean, if you want. Willam is gross but he does know how to throw a party. And the house is supposed to be really cool, so...”

“That is an enticing offer…” Courtney tilts her head, pretending to think it over.

Bianca leans in. “I’m not gonna beg.”

“Well, that spoils all the fun,” Courtney tells her, eyes glimmering.

“Ha ha. Nevermind-”

“B…” Courtney places a hand on her shoulder. “You had me at ‘douchey coworker.’”

btw softukiyos really doesnt have a masterlist, i think shes fixing the links or smth. you can find her other stories on the tags tho ! https://softukiyos.tumblr.com/post/661861264424943616 -> heres the link to the story i recommended hehe

hala baka ikaw nga ang tunay na mrs. hwang 😏 you felt that pic? 👀👀👀👀 me too lol believe me, the longer you watch the show, the more irritating she becomes. AND THE KID MATE. the handsome kid who took off his mask cuz he was threatened to be stabbed. he got shot tho, died nevertheless :"> uhh they are selling organs, its not rly a spoiler so dw abt it. it was just a side story that didnt even got explained LMAO its fun reading your predictions hehe but i dont want to say much, im scared i ll accidentally spoil you. still, i feel like some kind of god that know what happens while you re out here guessing XD

MOVING ON, YHMs new ch ! seungmin really is smooth, damn. inviting a girl immediately to his home but what he actually really wants is for his idol to come in 👀 seungmins really taking advantage of all the benefits he can get for keeping a stranger's, who surprisingly has many connections to famous artists, phone at gun point. HHAHAHAHAHA same vibes. crush > literally anything that needs to be prioritized.

i did not do anything today, just laid down and thought abt what to do with life but the chapters you posted still recharged me. i love the updates aaaaaaa you could already tell by how long this ask is but being straightforward is cool 😎 thank you ehhe

except maybe like at 12 am. omg remembering it still stresses me wat da fuq. i read a horror fic at that time and it was so good that i sent a long ass review full of love and me just saying "it scared me shitless" a bunch of times. i did it in phone and i stated before that the app lags sm. it was abt as long as my previous ask. anyways i pressed ask and the words something went wrong with your ask showed up. i started typing it out at 1 am and i literaly finished at 2:30. BELIEVE me, even when sending you asks, i usually take an hour at least. i need to organize my thoughts so much. SMH >:( uGH i kenat. anyways lol i just did it again, it wasnt really that bad LMAO

hows ur day btw 😎

- bs

ohh, that’s sad, i’ll wait for it then, or look thru the tags 👀. and yeah! i’ve read that one already, personally not a big fan of non-contemporary aus but her works are great :,))).

BYE. and i see, THAT kid, i already forgot him but yeah, i do feel really bad :((( he did not deserve that, so sad. makes me wonder about the people who works there though and why they seem so emotionless, i wonder if it’ll get explained. are any of my predictions true 💀 i’m still wondering about that but hngghhh i should finish the series na.

i love seungmin’s smau 😭 there’s so many on queue na and i’m currently writing the written chapter. as i wrote for it, i realized that it’s probably not going to be a long fic, i feel like with the story revolving around six people, there really isn’t much arcs to go on and i think i’d focus on the main boy na anywho. it’ll probably be a linear development with two to three arcs at most, not like jyp-u where there’s so many things happening all at once.

and thank you, i’m glad you enjoyed the fics 😭🤧 i’ve loved writing them too especially since i’m currently in another motivational streak uwu. i’m even already excited to plan out hyunjin’s smau (wow i just love smaus). and yes, i love receiving your asks no matter how long 👩‍💻.

and yes, the app is so buggy, i hate it 😭. but i enjoy reading your asks even though they’re incoherent sometimes JSHWJSHWS JKJK, i love it.

my day went great! i’ve been in a productive streak this week so i spent today being all 😴😴😴 bc i deserve it. mostly just writing fics too honestly.

#anon: bub stop.

Friday morning. I woke up. It wasn’t a dream. The blue sapphire ring sat on my left ring finger proudly and beautifully. I sat in front of my vanity mirror. I should get dressed, or at least brush my teeth, but I remained static, staring into the deep blue gem.

I eventually tore myself away and applied some brief makeup, a nude look, and a black midi skirt. I sifted through my closet for a particular top and finally found it after an anxious while. A velvet midnight blue long sleeved crop top. Paired with the high waisted skirt it was school-appropriate, but most importantly it matched the jewellery on my finger. A pair of docs and I was ready to go.

There was a ping on my iPhone. I didn’t even need to check. “Bye mum!” I called as I threw open the door and bounded out into the Spring air. I walked up to Will, in his staple skinny black jeans, an AFI black sails tee and a black hoody and creeper shoes. In the morning sun his pale skin was a dewy glowing milky white. He looked like he had descended from the heavens to awaken all the wonderful feelings within me. He kissed my forehead. I smiled. We held hands and walked slowly. The day was a haze. I spent each lesson fantasising about our future. My grades were really going to suffer if I didn’t focus. Exam season was a month away. I made a conscious decision to work hard, study and keep Will at arms length where I could.

I talked to him about it at lunch. I couldn’t hope to land a university offer if I fucked up my A levels. He understood and suggested study sessions at the library. He needed to work on English and I needed to wrap my brain around Biology.

Saturday he picked me up from my house and we caught the bus into town to Southampton Library. I set a few ground rules: we’d study hard from 10am til 1pm and then get lunch. At midday I was lagging. I was reading something about DNA in my Biology textbook and generally losing the will to live. I looked up and our eyes met. I wondered how long he had been staring at me.

“I fucking hate Biology.”

“It’s not so bad... I can show you how the human body works.” Will smirked.

He put an arm around my waist and placed his other hand on my thigh, pulling me into his lap. I was straddling him. We were at a table with two seats, sandwiched between two high bookcases. The library was moderately busy. What was he going to do to me? He pulled my chin down so that our lips could meet. Softly he kissed me. His hands slipped to my hips and he began to grind against me. My eyes were wide, looking around, begging for no one to see us. He felt so fucking good underneath me.

“Stop...” I breathed, trying to regain some control over my mind, and some composure. I stood up, dismounted him and sat back down in the seat next to him. “Not here.” He apologised with a wry smile. He wasn’t sorry. He wasn’t sorry at all.

Sunday I decided not to meet him, and to devote more time into revision. I was a little mad at him, but more mad at myself. He was addictive, and I had no self control. He didn’t want to go to university. His passion was taking Creeper to the next level. But me? I had to rely on my grades to build some kind of career. I couldn’t just hang out and be a groupie. I had to think practically.

Five days passed. True to his word, he gave me space to study in the day, and we talked on the phone for hours each night. It was 11pm, I was exhausted. My phone lit up:

“AFI exclusive tomorrow.”

“Omg! Album release date maybe?”

“I hope so. I want to hear the new stuff before we see it live.”

We gushed about the upcoming show at Electric Ballroom next month until I fell asleep whilst typing the words “Night, I love you x”.

The next day I had an excited call from Will. He preferred texting ordinarily so I knew it was important. I answered to a very excited teenage boy, “New AFI song is out! I am literally walking to yours right now so we can listen to it together! It’s online, don’t start without me!” He hung up.

New AFI. HOLY SHIT. I logged online and sure enough the feed on all of my socials screamed “MISS MURDER”. Oh man, I knew I was going to love it already.

I guess I had limited time to make myself look presentable. I wasn’t sure he’d appreciate my Clueless pyjamas, although I thought they were pretty cool. I rushed on a pair of skinny black jeans and an Incubus, Crow Left of the Murder album art, tee. I released my hair from its messy updo and curls bounced their way down my shoulders. I had no time for makeup so I opted for very quick liquid cat eyes and a dark red lip. At this point I was sure he’d want me, whatever state of dress I was in. The doorbell rang; my mum called upstairs. I galloped down the steps, grabbed Will’s hand and dragged him upstairs, much to my mother’s dismay: “BEDROOM DOOR WIDE OPEN PLEASE!” Basically, no touching, no kissing, and definitely no sex. Ugh. This was going to be hard.

Breathless, he said. “Okay so the video is up on YouTube.”

“There’s a VIDEO?” God damn, it really did feel like Christmas.

I typed at speed and loaded the page up, cross-legged, Will sat next to me and we fixated on the screen.

Black bunnies. Davey Havok looking regal and poised as only he can.

HEY MISS MURDER CAN I MAKE BEAUTY STAY IF I TAKE MY LIFE?

We watched it three, maybe four, times in succession. Open mouthed; in awe.

“...I think I love him.”

“Me too.”

“No seriously, I would marry him.”

“I’m literally RIGHT here.” Will pouted, jokingly. We both giggled. I sighed longingly, my skin aching to be touched by the gothic beauty perched next to me. Almost as though he could sense my lust, Will cupped my cheek and brought his lips to mine. He ran his tongue gently across my lips, requesting entry. I parted my lips and his tongue swooped in, his hot mouth devouring me. I felt my nipples harden and my panties moisten. Oh god, the things I would let him do to me.

“AHEM” my disgruntled mother stood in the doorway. Fuck, she was definitely going to reprimand me later. “I baked cookies. DOWNSTAIRS, please.” She turned her back and walked off, as Will and I stole a sheepish glance at each other. I led him out of my room as he grabbed my ass. I playfully swatted him away.

We ended up sat on the sofa downstairs watching Kerrang! TV, commenting on bands, songs and stage outfits, and of course eating mum’s warm raspberry cookies. His hand held mine. I felt content. I wanted to fast forward life by about five years and be living with him. That wasn’t too much to ask, right?

I didn’t realise how different things would be in five years...

Fan Approval Jay Park x Reader

By: Admin G

Word Count: 3,632

Genre: Fluff??

Request: can you make a scenario when you as an actress going a vacation with your boyfriend (jaypark) and your fans caught you. and start to take pictures of you two. they really like both of you together.

Jay dropped the last suitcase on the cold, wooden floor.

“Well, damn,” he says. He puts his hands on his hips, looking at the spacious Airbnb spot in Singapore.

He turns back to you.

“I think I did a pretty good job finding this place,” he congratulates himself, brushing the non-existent dirt off his shoulder.

You roll your eyes, walking over to him.

“You always have to take credit, don’t you?” you ask rhetorically.

“Who found this spot?” he says.

“We did,” you clear his memory.

Both of you seemed to roll your eyes at the same time. You explore the space you had rented out. There were a lot of big windows, which Jay noted might be a problem. You slap his arm, realizing what he really meant by it. But, you started to think about how the windows could actually be a problem.

You and Jay were both celebrities. You, an actress and Jay, a musical artist. You started to think of all that could happen while you two were away on this trip. Paparazzi, crazy fans, or just plain recklessness. You shook it off, telling yourself to stop worrying.

“You okay?” Jay asks you.

“Yeah,” you tell him. At least now I am, you think to yourself.

After unpacking, you and Jay decide to settle down and just chill for the remainder of the night and just cuddle on the couch watching TV.

You were both suffering from extreme jet lag, and you were sure you two would not be sleeping on the bed, the first night of your stay.

“Jay?” you sleepily call.

“Hmm?” he responds, taking a sip of his drink.

“Let’s say… hypothetically, of course… that our fans,” you pause, realizing how much you’re stuttering, “found out about us.”

Jay takes a deep breath. He shifts around a bit.

“Well,” he thinks, “I think most will love you, but…” he stops, switching his eye contact to the seams of the couch you’re sitting on, “some may feel threatened, I don’t know… maybe they could get jealous.”

“I can handle the hate Jay, don’t worry” you assure.

“I know baby, but I don’t want to put you through any of that. I know bringing up exes is a bad idea, but I lost a lot of people I cared about because of out of line fans. And, you are like nobody I’ve ever met in my life. I really value this relationship and I don’t want anything to happen to us. You mean way too much to me,” he spills to you.

You realized that you just hit a soft spot.

“Okay,” you fidget with your hands.

Jay sits back next to you and cuddles with you. Maybe he was right. Could you really handle all that hate? You remember when you first started your career, you were with this fairly well-known actor. His fans destroyed you. It was all too much for you.

But then you realize that you were young and vulnerable. Now, you had to see hate on a daily basis. It was basically a part of the job.

As the day started to fade, so did your consciousness. Both you and Jay knocked out right there on the couch, while the television played on into the night.

Narrator POV (Past):

Lina had seen Jay Park. She knew she had, at the airport. His face was covered with a face mask, sunglasses, and a hat.

What wasn’t covered was his arms. It was way too hot in Singapore to be wearing long sleeves. The detailed, intricate detail of his tattoos that no Jaywalker could mistake gave everything away to Lina.

He was walking in the airport with one this girl. She was absolutely gorgeous. Lina was almost 80% sure that she’d seen her before. But, where?

Lina’s friend, Isabella came up right next to her.

“Is that-Is that Jay Park,” the other Jaywalker says to Lina.

“I think so,” Lina responds to Isabella.

“We gotta go say hi to him!!” Isabella says excitedly.

“Okay,” Lina says quietly as she runs with Isabella. They both start to take out their phones to take pictures with their idol.

“Oh my god, Jay!!” Isabella screams.

The woman was the first to hear Lina’s friend. She turned her head so fast and turned it straight ahead to walk out of the doors.

Jay stopped and turned his head towards the screaming girls. He looked at the woman he was walking with. She signaled to leave her.Jay pulled down his face mask, but not his sunglasses and hat. He didn’t want more attention. This was Y/N and Jay’s time.

He slightly bowed at his fans.

“Hello,” he says politely. The two girls squeal as Jay notice them.

“I love you, Jay!!” Isabella confesses.

“Love you too,” he tells his fans. The two girls attempted to ask Jay for a picture, but they were really just making awkward sounds. Lina just decided to jerk her hand, with her phone in it, at Jay.

"Can-Can we...um," she stuttered. Jay chuckled at the silliness in front of him.

"You wanna take a picture?" he clarifies. Isabella and Lina both nod their heads in anticipation. Jay opens his arms, and see the two girls fill them on both of his sides.

The girls put both their phones in the air. Jay didn't know where to look, so he decided to try to appear like he's looking at both cameras. Isabella and Lina had gotten their pictures in and released Jay. They did a simple bow and giggled. Showing their gratitude.

"We good?" Jay asks.

"Yes," they say simultaneously.

"Thank you so much, Jay," Lina gratefully says.

"WE LOVE YOU!!" Isabella yells, forming a heart shape with her arms. Lina smiled at her friend. Obviously, she was much more hyped up about the situation.

Jay simply waves and bowed as he decided to walk out of the cool airport, and into the humid air of Singapore. He puts his face mask back over his face and wears his head low.

Isabella noticed that she was still recording what was happening. She changes the view to the back camera and records Jay getting into the car with the mysterious woman.

"What are you doing?" Lina asks.

"We gotta have proof that we actually met Jay Park, Lina," Isabella lets her friend know, "people will think it's photoshopped, plus did you see the girl he was with?"

"Yeah, but that could've been an assistant or something," Lina tries to convince herself.

"The way they were looking at each other, I think not." Who was the woman Jay was with? Lina could've sworn she had seen her from somewhere. She knew who she was.

"Hey, send me that video," Lina tells Isabella.

"Okay, but it's going on all types of social media right now," Isabella says.

"Are you sure? I mean, if the footage goes viral, especially because there could be a possibility that Jay has a girlfriend, we will be leaking some personal information. And if Jay didn't want to show his face and the girl's face, obviously they're trying to keep it a secret."

"How about we talk about this in the car. We just got home, and we've been here for way too long already." Isabella tries to change the subject.

The girls take their suitcases and leave the airport. They hop into a taxi, continuing their conversation.

"You know, I have seen that girl before," Lina confirms to herself. "Who is she," Isabella says looking at her phone. Her finger so close to pressing 'share' on her Instagram. Lina remained silent as she filed through her head, checking where she had seen the woman with Jay.

Lina suddenly gasped, scaring Isabella to the point that she thumb slightly pressed down on the 'share' button. She looked at her phone. She did take Lina's theory into consideration but decided to go with what she wanted. It was an accident, she thought to herself. It's not like I have many followers anyways.

The problem was, Isabella had spammed most of her caption with hashtags relating to Jay Park. Also, her account was not on private.

"That's Y/N!!" Lina screamed.

The taxi driver turned his head, giving Lina a disapproving look. Luckily, he had stopped at a red light and at the end of the day, he was still getting paid.

"What?" Isabella turned, never hearing that name in her life.

"You know that girl who was in 'Markdown'? (a/n: I just made up a movie name, idk)

"There was a lot of girls in Markdown, Lina," Isabella says.

"The main character," Lina tries to tell her. She pulls out her phone, going on Google to look up Y/N. She clicks the images tab and a picture of Y/N on the red carpet.

"Her!" Lina officially proves.

"Oh shit!!" Isabella realizes, the taxi driver clears his throat at Isabella's language, but the two girls give no mind to it, "THAT WAS HER!!"

Isabella had been feeling all types of buzzing in her pocket, from her phone. She never thought to look at it, till now. As she tried to go back to her video on Instagram to see if it really was the well-known actress with Jay.

She looked at her massive amount of comments in such a short time period. There were all types of comments like:

'OMG! who was that girl with him?'

'Bruh! Is that his new girlfriend'

'Guys, I am pretty sure that woman probably works for him'

'That could be one of his models in his DMs'

'now why would Y/N, the actress from Markdown, be working for Jay Park #jaypark #Y/N #JayMightHaveOnlyOneNow'

'JAY HAS A GIRLFRIEND???!!!'

'OMG THAT IS Y/N FROM MARKDOWN!!! NO FUCKING WAY!!'

'How he pull such a fine girl like her'

'how yall know she's that girl from Markdown. SHE'S WEARING A FUCKING FACE MASK FOR FUCK'S SAKE!!'

'Well guys, if Jay does have a girlfriend, we have to support his relationship. That's what real fans do'

'OMG i ship it so hard lmao'

'I'll cut a bitch if someone hates on their relationship'

~~~

"What are you looking at?" Lina asks the distracted Isabella. Isabella looks up at Lina, astonished.

"I think my post just went viral..." Isabella confesses.

"YOU POSTED IT!?!?!" Lina yells, grabbing Isabella's phone. She looks at the video.

"ISABELLA!!" Lina yells, upset. She looks back down at the phone and presses on #jaypark.

There, she could see that the video was one of the top posts. It had already gotten almost 230 likes and 100 comments in the couple minutes of being posted. Lina looked up at her friend, disapprovingly.

"What-did you-do?" Lina cuts Isabella with her eyes.

SECOND PERSON POV:

You woke up to find yourself in the bed, with pajamas on that you didn't remember putting on the night before.

You had so much crust in your eyes that you could barely see. Your breath reeked. And the worst part is, you were suffering from a major sleepy haze. (a/n: Ha! you thought this was about to be the movie version of waking up! You thought bih!! I make sure that my writing is as realistic as possible.)

You pushed yourself up and looked around at the view of your room. To the right of you was a beautiful view of the beach. You let out a small sigh of contentment, as you were so glad to get away with your boo.

As you inhaled though, you smelled your breath, groaning at how bad it smelled. You thanked the universe for Jay not being in the bed with you, and went to go brush your teeth.

You took a shower and got yourself ready for the day ahead of you. You walk out to the kitchen. You see a note on top of a plate with a lid on it. You open it to see (desired breakfast).

Either Jay cooked this or bought it. You appreciated it anyways, especially because it was food. Well, your thoughts were answered because you read the note.

'I didn't make this, but you can think that I did (:, meet me at the pool'

You giggled at his note, picked up the plate with a fork and knife, and headed over to the pool. You opened the glass door to the pool. Jay appeared as he was reading his phone and eating his breakfast slowly.

The first thing you looked at was his shirtless figure. Wow, I'm a hoe, you think to yourself. But at least you were a proud hoe!!

You then shifted your view to your boyfriend's face. He looked panicked.

"Babe?" you call. Jay notices you and has sympathetic look on his face.

"You good," you start to get nervous. You walk towards Jay.

"I think they found out," Jay says quietly.

"Who found out what," you ask confused.

"Our fans found out we're together," he confirms.You paused. You always thought that if your fans were to find out about your relationship with Jay, they would be right here, taking pictures. You chuckled at the irony as you two had just had this conversation last night.

You didn't want to see what they were saying about you. But, you pulled yourself to do it.You place your plate on the side table and sit next to Jay. You hold out your hand to get Jay to pass you his phone. He hands it to you. You see videos and pictures of you two at the airport. You go to google and look up you and Jay Park's name. Celebrity news websites have already gotten the story published. You go back to Instagram and check the Jay Park hashtag. The list showed a lot of the same thing. Videos and pictures of you at the airport. Some identified you.

You glimpse to your side to see Jay looking down in guilt and disappointment. You change your view back to the phone and press on the top post. It was a video of Jay and you. Then, you notice the voice of the girls who wanted a picture with him.

"I shouldn't have taken a picture with those girls," Jay says.

"No, you should've, because if you didn't, you would've looked like a dick," you tell him.

He sighs and goes silent again.You press on the comment section and look at the responses.

'DO YOU KNOW HOW FUKING LONG IVE BEEN WAITING FOR JAY TO GET A GIRLFRIEND!!?!!?! THIS IS AWESOME'

'Why didn't they tell us!!1 I'm trying to make some ship names goddammit!!

''Imma need them to make some babies, they look so cute together'

You laugh out loud at that comment.

"What are you laughing at?" Jay asks you. He glances at his phone screen.

"They like us!" you say joyfully.You look at Jay's shocked face.

"I'm sorry, what!?" he says shocked.

"Look," you point to the screen, "Why are they both so pretty," you read the comments.

"Oh my god, I've been shipping this couple for the last six months, I never thought it would sail tho!! OMG, I'm literally freaking out right now," you continue to read.

"You're fucking lying," he says taking the phone out of your hand. He reads and laughs at times noticing how insanely funny, but perverted his fans were.

You get your phone and check your Instagram account. The comments on the latest post on your account tripled overnight. Most of it was:

'Y/N, when were you going to tell us about your little relationship'

'OMG, I'm so proud of you!!'

'So you gotta manz now Y/N, good for you. I always knew you needed dick in your life'

You smiled at all the support. And also at how a lot of your fans seemed to know what you needed in your life.

Unfortunately, you did see some hate comments. It was mainly people being racist towards Jay, people trying to dig up your past (as if they would find anything), or just plain denial.

But, it honestly didn't affect you, like at all. You searched trying to find an ounce of hurt feelings, but it was honestly not there.

"Well, I'll be damned," you said to yourself.

"So what should we do now then?" Jay asked.

"Um..." you thought about it. The fridge was pretty empty and you really needed to go grocery shopping. You also wanted to see what Singaporean grocery stores were like.

"Well, I wanted to go grocery shopping," you tell Jay,

"and maybe walk around a bit."

"You sure you wanna do that?" Jay asks concerned.

"That's what I was thinking about right now," you said.The two of you stood there in silence, thinking about what you could do. Were you really ready to face fans, now that they knew you were in Singapore and about you and Jay's relationship?

"Oh!!" Jay pops up. You look at him, wondering what idea he had.

"I want to do an IG live," he declares. You look at him, confused.

"Why would you want to do that??" you ask.

"I guess if our relationship is out, Jaywalkerz are gonna be mad at me for not formally introducing you to them."

"Your fans seem super chill (a/n: shout out to me and other Jaywalkerz)," you notice, "I don't understand why you wouldn't want them to know about us."

"I don't know, I guess I was just scared of the unknown," he wiggles his eyebrows.

"Wow, so poetic for a someone who sings about eating p*ssy," you roll your eyes. Jay laughs, forming his mouth to say something smart to that comment. He takes your look as a sign not to though.

"Okay!" you pop up, let's do this live!!"Jay presses the home section of his Instagram account. He then moves his thumb to the white outline of the camera in the top left corner.

He looks at you.

"You ready?" he asks cautiously. You nod your head slightly, not taking the time to look him in the eye. You were nervous and excited to finally and formally meet the Jaywalkerz, without hiding.

Jay presses the confirmation to start the live broadcast. It starts to count from three. It almost seemed like your heart was beating with every second it counted. You take a deep breath.

The Instagram live has started.

"Hey! What's good y'all!!" Jay puts on a killer smile. You weren't in the frame yet, it was only Jay.

Most of the comments were just greeting Jay. You noticed some comments asking where you were, but not too many.

"It's Jay to the mutha fuckin' Park," he continues. You hold your breath, trying not to laugh, "back again with your weekly dose of lives."

"How y'all doing?" he interacts with his fans.

"So," he exhales, "I know most of you have probably heard, but I have someone to introduce to you," he smiles sweetly, looking at you.

You look at him, mirroring his same expression. He twists his wrist slightly to show your face. For a second, you looked like a deer in headlights. Then, your attention focuses on all your insecurities.

Oh my god, I should've prepared for this better.

Jay must've observed your obvious dismay because he took your hand and held it firmly to boost your confidence. He smiled straight at you and turned back to the camera.

"And this is a beautiful girlfriend, Y/N" he declares. You wave at the camera, giving a simple smile.

"You might've seen Y/N in that killer movie, Markdown," Jay explains.

You look at the comment section:

'Bruh, I loved that movie, and I loved Y/N in it too!!'

'I never watched it'

'OMg you're right!!!!'

"Yeah, I was in Markdown. You'll also see me in other movies!" you recall.

"Right now, since I'm not on tour and Y/N's on break from filming, we thought we should just get away. Well- not get away- go on a little vacation," he corrected himself.

He paused to read some comments.You nodded your head in agreement, giggling at the mess-up.

Obviously, Jay didn't want to come off rude.

"Okay, so we're gonna answer some questions, but not too many because I'm hella hungry right now," he said.

You read some more questions.

"When did we meet?" you reread a question, "we some time back, but we just started dating a couple months ago."

"How could you pull such a fine person like Y/N, Jay?" he read, slapping his hand to his heart, faking being offended, "Fuck you! I'll have you know that my skills at pulling women are outstanding, and I'm about to be 30," you coughed at his age comment, "I think I know how to do it," Jay's teeth clenched at your remark, squeezing your hand hard.

You smiled brightly at him, letting him know you weren't affected.

The two of you had read some more questions until it was time to end it. Jay and you were both getting severely hungry and the breakfast you had forgotten to eat had gotten cold.

Microwaving it didn't seem to help either. The both of you had gotten ready as you were planning to go to the grocery store.

When you arrived, you were suddenly bombarded by fans and paparazzi.

"Maybe you shouldn't have said we were going to the grocery store," Jay whispered in your ear.

You didn't care that much, as you pulled your boyfriend by the hand and squeezed past all the people who wanted your attention.

"You good with all this?" Jay questioned

."Welp," you shrugged your shoulders, "It was gonna happen someday."

You looked at your boyfriend. Yeah, I'm totally going to have to get used to this, you think to yourself, as you bagged more vegetables.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thanks for reading!!! I hope you liked it!!!

(1/?) Travel-anon-hi! Sorry for the late reply, I've been feeling a bit under the weather D: But wow! That's so sweet of you for what you did for your mom! My family's not big on celebrating parent days, but we do go out for dinners - my mom's bday is a couple days before, so we merge the two ;u;~ Thank you! I'll probably come back with a pile of photos, and be super picky which to instagram, haha. Oh! Good idea with the perfume! I normally don't carry any, but this sounds like a good reason to.

(2/?) Aw, you had to give up your internship? I’m sorry D: but on the bright side, vacation? Would you be able to do the internship another time? In terms of expensiveness, I think HK topped it for me. The livelihood there is super high end and overpriced to me :/ And ikr! I wish it were like that here too, but North America’s just too big and spread out for that unless you lived downtown, but that’s expensive D: In December, one Japan night was 24 degrees celsius ouo;; that’s pretty much summer

(3/?) But it does depend where you’re at in Japan! That night I was in Tokyo! It’ll be colder if you’re farther north~ I don’t know if the magikarp promo is still going D: but if it is, you definitely have to try it! I actually like the “crispy sandwich caramel” haagen dazs! I can’t get it where I’m from ;u; so depriveeeed. Your convenience stores sound so much better than mine! All mine have are dollar store things and candy OTL? Usually super grungy looking too. Aw, that’s cute! Do you visit?

(4/?) For the cat, not your sister (well, I guess her too), haha. I don’t remember, did you say you’d try to get a pet in the future for yourself, maybe? Yep! Certain holidays or popular events cause tickets to be more expensive to those countries during those times~ It’s still modern art?! Why isn’t there any traditional ones D:?! I actually prefer modern art, haha; mostly the interactive type ones! I don’t particularly have a favourite artist; I appreciate based on how interesting their-

(5/?) concepts are and how well they executed it. I mean, we did drop a lot of cash on the machines (and won nothing a lot of times), so I’m pretty sure that’s why they took pity on us, haha! I hope you’re lucky enough to either win it yourself, or find someone to help you! I also wish for you to be good at those games ;D! Have you had any more ramen since I last spoke to you? You’re still making me crave for it, and I can’t have any right now ;u; Oo, barely any jet lag can be a good thing!

(6/?) I don’t jet lag much when I travel, but the bits that I do, I accounted for, and used it for long-term traveling within the country! Oo, I hope I get to try a vietnamese hot pot some time then :D! If we ever manage to meet up in another country, let’s hit up vietnamese hot pot, haha. Omg, both of those movies were so good!! Infinity war, I really hope you do get to see it soon D: There’s so many spoilers out already, and it would suck if you got completely ruined to it beforehand!

(7/?) I preordered all 4 albums when they first opened it :D;; If I was only getting 1 of them though, I’d have gotten O! What about you? Did you preorder, or are you going to hit up a store when it’s released where you are? Which is your favourite concept? And, omg, yes. Jimin’s pretty hardcore when it comes to going 0 to 100, so I tend to die fairly often, haha. How do you manage to keep up with Tae?! He’s just as bad, if not worse, than Jimin’s 0-100?! He’s too pretty and amazing as a person!

(8/8) I was going to end this at 7, but well, here’s 8, haha. I follow on yt, and when a notice pops up, I listen and fav the song if it matches my tastes :D NCT is going haaard right now, like wow, almost every other week or two OTL I’ve been into kpop for so long that I like a lot of groups, so it’s hard to recount all of them, haha. What about you? Who else do you listen to? How long have you been into kpop? How was the Tswift concert?! Did you have an amazing time?? How early did you lineup?

hello, m’love!! oh noo, i’m so sorry to hear that ): are you feeling better now? make sure to drink lots of fluids and rest up! and thank you :’) i hope you had a good dinner with your family!! and happy belated birthday to your mom 💕 oh gosh, my instagram is a mess, i just post sporadically and nothing matches. but i think i’ll start trying to make a nicer instagram page though haha. yeah, it’s pretty helpful with the perfume because you can’t bring pepper spray onto planes or anything for travel, so i just pack a small perfume bottle instead!

yeah, i’m excited for the vacation!! i won’t be able to do an internship until next summer then unfortunately. oooh, i heard kong kong is really nice! but i’ll make sure not to go there until i have money lmao. yeah, the only way walking is fine in north america is if i live in one of the big cities, like nyc. oh my god, in december??? it’s going to be even worse since i’m going in the summer D: i think overall it’s going to be very hot in japan because it’s summer when i’ll be there.

ahhh, even if there’s no magikarp, i’m still excited to eat taiyaki!! omg ok, i’ll make sure to get that ice cream flavor when i’m there :o and that really sucks ): hopefully, you’ll get to come back to japan soon and then you can get the ice cream :D ah yeah, there’s a lot of dollar store items and travel items too and candy. i think most convenience stores are pretty grungy tbh. i visited her last year! but that was before she got a cat sadly ):

and yes!! i want to get a dog and a cat in the future! i suppose there are a few traditional art pieces on display? but i think most people here enjoy modernized art more, like even the buildings and such in the usa are much more modern compared to europe. i guess it’s because the usa hasn’t been a country for as long as european countries, so everything is newer looking. oooh nice!! interactive art is always fun! :D modern art is really beautiful too, but sometimes, i see something like the entire canvas is painted one color with only one stripe down it and i’m like ??? how is this worth 91283472319 dollars???

asdfjkads that’s going to be me. i’m going to spend all my money on the crane machines and win nothing, so let’s hope someone will help me ahah and thank you!! fingers crossed! :’) and i haven’t had any ramen since ): ramen isn’t the healthiest, so i try not to eat it often. ajsdhfalks but you can’t have any right now? D: did you run out? oooh, and that’s smart! i really hope the jet lag won’t hit so hard because i want to explore everything, but there’s never enough time. and yes!! we’ll definitely get vietnamese hot pot, and then you’ll have to show me all your favorite food places too :D ahhh, i want to see both of them soon! i took my last midterm yesterday, but i still have papers and several projects to do ): and my weekends are packed since i have some things to go to for my friends’ birthdays and i think we might do a road trip for the upcoming memorial weekend since we get monday off.

and omg so lucky!! all four wow :o well, i didn’t preorder it, but i don’t know which album i want either. maybe R or O? because they all look good in denim, but tae had that lip ring.. and unfortunately, they don’t sell kpop merch in stores anywhere near me /: so i’ll have to order it from amazon if i do buy it! honestly all the concepts are pretty though. jimin’s stage presence vs real life is mind blowing with how he can switch so fast. askdlhfjaj i barely keep up with tae, he’s too perfect and he’s such a sweetheart pluS HIS DOGS AND CAT ARE SO CUTE I LOVE THEM SO MUCH

asdf,nasd oh my god i love nct so so so much, like nct dream is my ult boy group favorite, and i’m so sad mark is graduating from the dreamies after this year ): did you see their chain mv? who’s your bias? oh my gosh i’m so excited to hear you like nct alskdjfhalew i really, really, really love taeyeon, like she’s my ult bias, but i also love shinee and blackpink (when will they release a new song)!!! i follow up with those three and nct the most. but i also listen to red velvet, gfriend, twice, kard, day6, wanna one, monsta x, infinite, vixx, astro, and f(x) like when are they coming back ): oh and (g)i-dle!!! i pretty much listen to whatever group that currently makes a comeback, so i know the title songs of most of the kpop groups, but i don’t know each of the members’ names. and i’ve been into kpop since early 2014 :’)

ooooh my god, the taylor swift concert marks the best night of my life, likE I LOVE HER SO MUCH I’VE BEEN A FAN SINCE 2006 AND I CAN’T BELIEVE I FINALLY GOT TO GO TO HER CONCERT!!!! but i got there two hours early for the lineup, and when it started, i sang along for every single song, and when she sang a mashup with long live included, i was over the moon, plus before the concert, i was like oh hey what if she sings the best day because it’s mother’s day tomorrow anD SHE ACTUALLY DID AND I CRIED OMG I GOT SO EMO i was shaking like i tried to get good videos on my phone, but my phone also died and the video will show you how shaky i actually was and wow i just– best experience, i will definitely go to her concerts over and over again and i just loved it so much. so yeah i was pretty excited and super happy overall :’) and how is your week going? 💗

 Apple’s MacBook Water?! 

Yep- the title says it all. Apple will be releasing a new kind of MacBook! OMG

Kidding ☹

Well I just thought of the idea. If there’s a MacBook Air, why couldn’t there be MacBook Water, MacBook Fire & MacBook Earth! :)

Ya know? #EarthElements ✔

Okay let’s move to a more serious business here. Today I’m gonna be having a Tech Review of my fav GADGET!

Of course for a student like me, a laptop is a “must-have”. Nope, it’s not a want. For me it’s more of a necessity. Why do i need a laptop when i can just use a personal computer, a tablet or just a phone?

Basically I would reason you out with these things:

✖ First, I can’t take a desktop all around, it’s heavy and NOT convenient (plus it would make me look crazy if i brought it out). In addition, we usually have scheduled brown-outs in our place, so how could i use a PC without electricity?

✖ Second, using just a tablet in creating documents is so much different than using a laptop. With a laptop, I can perform all activities like i’m just using a PC. A tablet have some limited functions too.

✖Third, using a phone is too small and like a tablet, i also believe it is limited in some ways. Though I’m also a fan of phones, I wouldn’t deny that its speed processor is slower. It’s so much easier to browse with a laptop.

SO…. I now guess that laptop won?

*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧　 ♡ *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*

Anyways, since laptop is my favorite gadget I’d like to give you a review of the laptop that I truly found in favor with-

MACBOOK AIR (13 INCHES) ❥

First, I’d like to give you some mind blowing facts about MacBook that I got from a site. I want to keep you interestingly committed to continue reading :D

Did you know?

✧ Part of Bill Gates's house (co-founder of microsoft) was designed using a Mac?

✧MacBook is the only computer to provide much more power than any other computer having the same tech specs.

And yes since I’m a MacBook user let me share to you my experiences on using it!

☆ (Let me go to the good things first!) ☆

❁ When I browse ,it processes with great speed- it loads faster than any other laptops I’ve used. Is it safe for me to even say it’s “LAG-FREE”?, because that’s the truth.

❁ One more great thing I found out is that it can’t easily be scratched. Well, perhaps because it’s made out of aluminum. As of now, i haven’t bought a case or cover for mine , and one time i worried that it might have got a scratched because i accidentally bumped it hard into something. When i came to look at it i was like “WOW AMAZING”. It didn’t even got the slightest scratch.

❁It’s even so much comfortable to type. It’s keyboard is like one of its best features.

❁It comes with great built-in applications. From Photobooth that makes taking photos fun to iMovies which makes making movies so much easier and of course Notes- which can also keep your tiny secrets private, I can’t deny how wonderful MacBook Air truly is.

❁Long battery life. I was surprised by how long it can last. Comparing it to my other gadgets, it’s battery life is much more longer.

⌦ (While I have many great experiences on my MacBook Air, I wouldn’t also deny that I have slight disappointments towards it. These ones I’m about to say are not that too bad though. I still love it!) ⌫

❦ I’m sad to say that Microsoft Word, Powerpoint and Excel doesn’t come with it when it was bought. And for me , these 3 are one of the most important softwares I need to have. I guess I need to spend another money for those? Sadly, my old laptop (which isn’t Apple) came with them when bought.

❦ My apple headsets won’t fit on it. I’m not really sure if the problem is with my headset though. Nevertheless, the thought of watching or listening music outloud is just okay for me.

⍨So far that’s the only problem I found. I hope there’s not more to come!⍨

Now , you may wonder why I chose MacBook Air and not other MacBooks?

I chose it simply because I believe that it’s cheaper and much lighter than others. Out of all them , it also has the longest battery life.

Why Apple?

Well, since I was given an opportunity to own one, I just agreed. Who would say “NO” to it anyway?

Anyways Here Are Few Features Of

A MacBook Air!

youtube

1. Battery Life: Aside from me telling it can last up to 14 hours, it can also sleep for more than 3 hours and it can even be on standby mode for up to 30 days.

2. Processors and Graphics: Apple structures is made to deliver great performances without having to use so much power. According to Apple, MacBook Air is on the 5th generation intel core i5 and i7 processor. This means good because it means that it’s very much responsive and only delivers the best experiences fastly.

3. Wifi- MacBook Air has 802.11ac Wi-Fi. What does this mean? It simply means maximum speed. It’s way faster than others.

4. Storage: MacBook Capacity is up to 512 GB. So if you’re looking for something that you can store your many files with, then this might be a good choice for you!

5. Keyboard: The best thing about the keyboard is that it has its lighting underneath it so that whatever condition you are in- dark or not , you can still see it. It also gives users a kind of “satisfaction” whenever they type.

☆✼★━━━━━━━━━━━━★✼☆｡

☚ Of course, the over-all display of this laptop is surely one of the best. Otherwise, i would be raging by now (kidding!) ☛

Yes, MacBooks may be pricey, but what matters is that it would be of great use. I truly believe that Apple creates gadgets that’ll truly last. A MacBook Air user like me would say- IT’S DEFINITELY WORTH IT. In the end, the decision is still all up to you. I truly wish you would be wise! :)

｡☆✼★━━━━━━━━━━━━★✼☆｡

Lastly, a MacBook Air is not just good for blogs like this. It can BEAUTIFY your feeds as well!

Hey guys! It’s MadameWario, and I am freaking obsessed with claw machines/crane games/ufo catchers – whatever you want to call them, I love them! They are my crutch, my weakness, my one true love in every arcade. Because of this intense love I have for claw machines, when I first heard about the Toreba app, I FREAKED. Toreba is a free app that allows you to play an actual Japanese crane game straight from your phone. No joke. You can win real prizes, and if you do, Toreba ships them to you for FREE! Now I know this sounds sponsored (omg I wish they would sponsor me), but it isn’t. This is just me telling you about the app, sharing my tips & strategies for playing, and basically reviewing the addiction that is Toreba because I have enjoyed it so much.

FREE PLAYS

Okay, so the first thing I want to point out is that when you download the app, you get 3 free plays. After that you have to purchase TP (Toreba Points) in order to play. What I recommend doing is AT LEAST downloading the app for your 3 free plays, and then deleting it if you’re worried about getting sucked in. You get to keep anything you win, even from free plays, so it’s at least worth testing your luck, but here’s my other tip: DON’T USE THOSE 3 PLAYS RIGHT AWAY. You need to WATCH FIRST. Observation is key. I say this because there is a legit strategy to this app, especially for certain types of machines. If you get impatient and just immediately blow your free plays, you’ll likely blow your chances of winning. The good news is that if you have more than one smart device (i.e. a smartphone and a tablet), you can download the app on each device and get 3 free plays on each! I definitely downloaded the app on all 3 of my smart devices, lol.

HOW IT WORKS

RESERVE: Once you have your 3 free plays, you’ll notice something called a “reserve” at each machine. If the reserve number is higher than 0, you can’t use one of your free plays on it. Toreba saves the “reserve” feature for paying players. Up to 5 players can reserve a machine at a time. You’ll notice a higher reserve number on machines where a prize is close to being won (i.e. close to the edge of the prize drop, etc). This makes it tricky to use your free plays. If you’re from the US like I am, you’re used to crane games where a prize can be won with simply one try depending on how strong the claw decides to be when you play. Toreba games aren’t quite the same. You have to strategize more and really work to move a prize into a “winning position.” Unlike US crane games, Toreba crane games only offer one or two prizes at a time, whereas US crane games offer a variety of prizes and you just choose which one to go for.

TP: Toreba Points (TP) is the currency used within the app. Each machine is priced differently per play, but most are 1600 TP and above. Occasionally you’ll see smaller prizes available for 1200-1500 TP, but not often. $5 (USD), the lowest dollar amount you can spend, will get you 5000 TP. Toreba offers better deals if you spend a higher amount of money at once, such as $30 USD, but you’re probably more committed than I am if you do that. :P Toreba does reward you for spending money on TP though!

TICKETS: After you spend so much, Toreba will give you a “play ticket” as a reward. Play tickets work exactly like TP (rather than free plays). You are able to play any machine one time using your ticket whether there is a reserve line or not. You can also play any priced machine without TP limitations. It doesn’t matter. I think this is a great reward for paying players. I believe you get your first reward after spending $15-$20.

TIME LIMITS: There is a time limit when it’s your turn to play. This keeps players from waiting too long in the reserve line, especially if someone goes m.i.a. or just can’t make up their mind on whether or not to test their luck. The only downfall is that the time limit is non-existent to players who are willing to spend money on TP during their turns. Then they basically have an endless time limit, which isn’t fair, but that’s how it works.

VIEWPOINTS: Be sure to observe players using BOTH viewpoints. You’ll notice a little green camera icon in the top right corner of your screen. Use this to change your view from front to side. This will give you a better idea of where to aim and what other people are doing in order to win.

LAG: One last thing to keep in mind before playing Toreba is that there may be just the slightest amount of lag while controlling the crane. Anticipate the crane going a tiny bit further than you expect after you let go of the control arrows. You have to remember that this is a real crane game being controlled half way around the world by your phone, so be sure to take that into consideration while playing.

TYPES OF MACHINES

There are 8 types of Toreba crane game machines.

Ball Machines

Bar Machines

Crystal Rock Machines

Fishing Machines

Loop-Hole Machines

One-Arm Machines

Ping-Pong-Ball Machines

Traditional Two-Arm Machines

#1 Ball Machine

#1 BALL MACHINES: This kind of machine I try to avoid because it consists of rolling a large prize capsule in the direction of the arrows and off the edge of the platform using the crane. I have never seen anyone playing one of these, which isn’t surprising, but it seems ridiculously hard to win without breaking the bank.

#2 Bar Machines

#2 Bar Machines (another version)

#2 BAR MACHINES: Bar machines make up the majority of crane games available on Toreba. There are two different types. The first is the kind where your goal is to get the prize to drop through the bars it is wedged on. The second is the kind where your goal is to work the prize up to the front of the bars until it tips over the edge. People work their way to winning on these machines like crazy and some are easier than others. Type #1 takes a lot more creative thinking than just wrapping the crane around the prize and hoping it drops, so try and watch how other players strategize that kind of machine before playing one yourself.

#3 Crystal Rock Machines

#3 CRYSTAL ROCK MACHINES: These kinds of machines are harder than they look and take more tries than you think. Something about those rocks is just plain daunting. They really stick to the prize. Think of these machines like a gravel driveway. There’s a reason your car doesn’t slip when running over gravel rocks, so it makes sense how the prizes are hard to maneuver towards the edge through these crystals.

#4 Fishing Machines

#4 FISHING MACHINES: I have seen people play these, but I have never seen anyone win one of these machines. Your goal is to hook that wire net using the tiny hook on the end of the crane so that the picture falls down the chute. It’s extremely hard to judge where the hook is going to go via this mobile app as opposed to in-person. I don’t recommend these machines for that reason.

#5 Loop-Hole Machines

#5 LOOP-HOLE MACHINES: These machines are similar to fishing machines, only your goal is to hook the red ring (connected to the prize) in the crane. I have heard these aren’t too bad in-person, but using a mobile app to play might be a bit trickier than what it’s worth.

#6 One-Arm Machines

#6 ONE-ARM MACHINES: Here’s my advice for these: don’t play them. These machines are 50% weaker than any other machine (for obvious reason). THEY HAVE ONE ARM. That, and I only see these machines used on huge prizes. Therefore, you are supposed to maneuver the prize to the edge at an incredibly slow pace, meaning you have to spend lots of cash on TP. Unless you luck out and happen to see a prize RIGHT at the edge where you think you can get it, don’t waste your time.

#7 Ping-Pong-Ball Machines

#7 PING-PONG-BALL MACHINES: These are, perhaps, the most luck-based machines available to play. All you have to do is hope your ping pong ball drops into the hole with the red rim. That being said, you may have a pretty fair chance at winning one of these because there is little to no skill involved. You choose how far back you want your ball to drop and that’s it. I have seen people win these countless times. These machines are a lot of fun to watch people play as well. I recommend playing when the ball pit isn’t extremely crowded (like in the photo), because the ping pong balls are more likely to bounce into the red hole when there aren’t tons of ping pong balls to get stuck in between.

#8 Traditional Two-Arm Machines

#8 Traditional Two-Arm Machines (another version)

#8 TRADITIONAL TWO-ARM MACHINES: These machines are what I like to call “the old faithfuls.” Now, they differ from traditional UFO catchers, as there is still some maneuvering to be done using these machines, don’t get me wrong, but they do give you a more traditional crane game experience. Most aren’t like US machines that clamp down and carry the prize to the chute, so don’t expect that, but they are probably more along the lines of what you’d expect from a Japanese crane game.

PRIZES

Toreba features a huge assortment of prizes that change and are updated every single day. Basically, when a machine runs out of prizes, they change it out. This keeps the prizes fresh and gives you a reason to open the app every day. If you’re like me, plushies are your kryptonite. That isn’t all that Toreba has to offer though. You can also win figurines, blankets, school supplies, candy/food, and a variety of home goods. There are sometimes extremely strange prizes available as well. I have literally seen a “boob towel” as a prize, which was just a towel with boobs on it to cover…your boobs…??? I have also seen a fuzzy handcuff and blind fold set as a prize. The prize list is amusing to say the least.

JAPANESE PRIZE BRANDS: My sister, who lived in Japan for a year, educated me on how certain Japanese brands are “prize brands.” If you have any Japanese plushies obtained through anime cons with the brand “Amuse” on them, then you already own one of these “prize exclusive” items. Some companies own the right to sell prize exclusive merchandise, but it’s rare. Prize brands try to maintain exclusivity of their products by only offering them as prizes in arcade machines. This gives people a reason to play because it’s difficult to find the merchandise available anywhere else. HOWEVER, there is a website I found that offers a ton of merchandise (of which you often see on Toreba) for sale. If there is a plushie in particular that you are dying to have, and you either don’t win it or you are concerned about how much money you will spend trying to win it, check out Tokyo Otaku Mode.

TOKYO OTAKU MODE: This is a website that carries a wide array of the prizes featured on Toreba that are available for purchase. Sometimes, it may be worth checking out this website first to see how much a prize you are contemplating trying to win is worth before emptying out your wallet. It is also a great resource if a particular prize or style of prize runs out before you have the chance to try and win it. (This has happened to me before, and I actually used this website to purchase a few items that I really wanted. I also purchased an item or two that I wasn’t willing to spend $50 TP on when I could still end up empty handed.)

BLIPPO: Blippo is another website that offers a large array of kawaii items. Not all of the plushies available in their store are prize brand exclusives, but the alpaca plushies for sure are. If kawaii alpaca plushies are your thing, definitely check Blippo first before playing.

WINNING

There are 3 common ways to win a Toreba prize that I have noticed after hours of watching people play. (FUN FACT: Watching other people play is oddly calming.)

spending tons of money

incredibly perfect timing

100% pure luck

Method #1 – spending tons of money

METHOD #1: Obviously you want to avoid method #1, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t people out there willing to spend their entire paycheck on a little stuffed toy just because they can’t take “no” for an answer. This is where the app gets dangerous. If you’re the kind of person who just can’t accept failure or losing (especially after multiple tries), this app is not for you. Sometimes you will be in reserve position no. 2 and the play-timer of the person in front of you NEVER seems to run out. This is because if you play a machine until you run out of TP, you are able to purchase more TP right then and there at the machine and it will grant you more play time. I personally don’t think this is fair as a player, but the company is obviously going to favor this method because it is making them more money. Therefore, some things just aren’t worth spending that much money on in order to win. Be sure to check out the links provided in the “PRIZES” section before breaking the bank just to call yourself a “winner.”

Method #2 – incredibly perfect timing

METHOD #2: What I mean by method #2 is that sometimes you’ll stumble onto a machine where no one is playing, hardly anyone is watching, and the prize is RIGHT THERE in a winning position. This is where you can luck out with free-plays especially, but it’s rare to come across this. A lot of the time, this is caused by one of two things. One, the person who had been working to get that prize spent too much money, got fed up, and rage quit before knocking the prize down the chute. Two, the app of the player who had been trying to get the prize closed unexpectedly, and now it is anyone’s game. This perfect timing method can also work for you if you happen to reserve at the right moment. Say you’re #2 in the reserve line and the person who had been playing runs out of TP and is unable to refill it or simply doesn’t want to, then you’re in business. This doesn’t happen often, but it is still a possibility.

Method #3 – 100% pure luck

METHOD #3: This one doesn’t really need any explanation, but I couldn’t not put it on the list. There will be times when you decide to give a machine two or three plays and things just happen to go your way. I have seen this happen to so many people while observing. Someone goes into a machine with no reserve where the prize doesn’t even seem to be in a great position, the crane just happens to clamp a little harder, and the prize instantly gets moved into a winning position after just one or two tries. By the third try, the player has won. The 100% luck method is also pretty much the only method for ping-pong-ball style machines.

ADDITIONAL TIPS

TIME ZONES: I believe a lot of players are actually from Japan, which means Toreba is super busy at odd times of the day (if you’re from the US like me). I have noticed that the best times to play if you live in an Eastern/Central/West Coast time zone are either right smack in the middle of the afternoon (because this is in the middle of the night/early morning in Japan), or right smack in the middle of the night/early morning (because this is around bedtime in Japan). The machines are less crowded, therefore you may have better luck when it comes to waiting in reserve lines.

VIDEO FOOTAGE: Believe it or not, Toreba saves every single video clip of you playing the game. If you want to see what went wrong while you were trying to win that adorable Hello Kitty plushie, you can! Make sure you visit Toreba’s website, create a login account, and fill out your info, that way you can easily access your videos (and more). Unless you win a prize, you may not be prompted to do this, but trust me, it’s worth it just so you can watch yourself. :P This is a super cool feature in my opinion, because not only does it capture every play, but Toreba sends you a congratulatory video anytime you win something so you can share your victory with whoever you want. You also have the option to upload any of your videos to YouTube or Facebook. Here’s a video of me failing, lol. I should also mention that if something goes mechanically wrong while you’re playing Toreba (the crane messes up, the prize falls and doesn’t recognize your win, etc.), you are able to dispute it via your video footage provided on the website.

TRY TOREBA!

I hope you found this post helpful as you embark on your Toreba adventure! (…Addiction?) :P As you can tell, I have spent a fair amount of time on the app. It’s a lot of fun and I wouldn’t recommend it if I didn’t truly find it enjoyable. As stated before, if nothing else, download the app, get your 3 free plays, then delete it. Then, you can at least tell people that you played a crane game all the way in Japan from your phone and lost, or better yet, won. :) Have fun! ~MW
