Being Karasuno's Manager

Miss Manager in a Polyship with the First Years

Kageyama, Hinata, Tsukishima and Yamaguchi featuring Karasuno x second year fem! Manager

Warnings: light Swearing, I kept it PG and wholesome 🥰

A/N: ahhh this is the first of our second round of requests and the first of the pride series!!! This is an Anon request!

🏳️‍🌈 Please Like, Share, Comment to support my writing 🏳️‍🌈

Attention everyone 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻

That means you YN-

I think I speak for all of us when I ask 👀

Are you doing ok? Like seriously

YN I love you but you do realize what you are getting yourself into right?

What being the manager for Karasuno wasn't enough of a challenge 😅

Seriously you absolutely angel, thank you for taking this on so yours truly could write it

Everyone remembers the scene where Tanaka first saw Kiyoko right?

👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

That's the energy you gave the first day our precious bbys laid their eyes on you 😍

Seriously being all adorable and you think they wouldn't notice 🙄

Anyways, it's safe to say Hinata and Kags immediately stopped fighting

Tsukishima, for once, had absolutely nothing to say

And Yamaguchi, well he just stared 😳

Now these boys didn't act like a complete fool like Tanaka ok

Honestly they are fools everyday so no need to step their game up 🤚🏻

Anyways, you run into the gym to greet everyone and you smile as you see the precious first years 🥺

How freaking CUTE ARE THEY!!!

Tanaka and Noya instantly notice the first years staring at you

Defensive IMMEDIATELY

"Hey 🙅 stop looking at our precious YN!"- Tanaka, blocking their view

"Our YN is to gorgeous for the eyes of commoners"- Noya

Please smack them 🤚🏻

Oop- Ennoshita beat you to it YN gotta be faster 😅

"Noya, Tanaka knock it off!!! Hi there I'm YN, I'm the second year manager! It's really nice to meet you"- you 🤗

Hinata 👉🏻😲

Tsukishima 👉🏻��

Yamaguchi 👉🏻😰

Kageyama 👉🏻 "HI IM TOBIO KAGEYAMA AND YOU ARE SO PRETTY"

🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Please we all saw how blunt he was with Ushijima, would you expect anything less

"Leave YN alone Crappy-Yama! Like she'd ever want to associate with a tyrant like you!"- Hinata

"You wanna say that to my face! Oh wait, your too short"- Kageyama

"Like she'd ever want to deal with the likes of two idiots"- Tsukishima

Please Yams is still just staring at you

"You guys are cute"- you say giggling and skipping away

Honestly YN say less 🤚🏻

After your introduction to the boys, it essentially becomes a game of "who can grab YN's attention more"

"YN come watch me get this receive"- Hinata readying himself

"Why would YN want to watch you get hit in the face again?"- Tsukishima 🤨

"Hey YN can you help me with my serves?"- Yamaguchi

"No YN is helping me with my sets!"- Kags shouts

"YN seriously get a handle on things now!"- Daichi

You 👉🏻 🧍‍♀️ 😐

Eventually you get into a rhythm with the boys, who Daichi put you in charge of

You help Kags with his sets, Tsukishima with blocking, Yamaguchi with serving and Hinata with literally everything 😅

It's no wonder that you start to develop feelings for each on of them

You start hanging out with them together and seperate

You'd walk home with Hinata and Kags every night

Trying to keep them from killing each other 😅

Success rate ~75%

You'd have lunch with Tsukishima and Yamaguchi everyday

Not to mention your random trips to the vending machine wirh Kageyama

Your trips to Grandpa Ukai's with Hinata

And your support for Tsukishima with the third gym squad

Seriously, Kiyoko and Yachi had it easy compared to you YN 😅

But no matter what, you couldn't help but care for them all

You knew they all liked you, I mean seriously YN they aren't quiet about it

"YN I LIKE YOU ALOT"- Kageyama

"YN you are so special to me"- Yamaguchi

"YN your the best! I care about you so much!"- Hinata

"You're tolerable YN"- Tsukishima

And you had feeling for all of them

But 👀 there was just no way you could choose

Seriously I don't blame you at all 🥲

You've developed a close relationship with each one and even together

So one day, when your mopping about, Noya and Tanaka come to check on you

"YN HAS SOMEONE HURT YOU?"- Tanaka, panicking

"Was it that annoying guy from Johzenji? I'll kick his-" Noya.

"No no, I'm fine guys just conflicted"- You, sighing

"Run the meaning of conflicted by me again YN"- Tanaka

You 👉🏻😐😐😐

"She's confused! Right YN"- Noya

You 👉🏻😐 yep

"See and Ennoshita says I wasn't smart"- Noya

"I never said that. I said 'if youd use your brain in school as much as you do on the court you wouldnt have issues'"- Ennoshita says walking by

"Same thing"- Noya

N E WAYS

"So what are you so congested about YN?"- Tanaka

"Conflicted... conflicted!"- Noya

You 👉🏻 🤨how did these two make it to high school?

"So I have some guy issues..."

Triggering words YN 😬

"Boy? As in males?"- Tanaka

You👉🏻yes

"Issues? As in more than one?"- Noya

You 👉🏻 yes 😶

Tanaka and Noya just sare at you for a second, then it happens

"YN LIKES BOYS!!"- Tanaka 😱😱😱

"THIS DAY CAME WAY TO SOON"- Noya 😭

Please Ennoshita, Kinoshita and Narita just stare 😐

"THEY GROW UP SO FAST!"- Tanaka, seriously crying an entire river

"IS SHE EVEN OLD ENOUGH TO HAVE BOY PROBLEMS?"- Noya

"Well she's the same age as you idiots so yes"- Narita

"Can I tell you guys or am I just going to have to deal with this myself??"- You, angry bby

Ennoshita clamps his hands over Tanaka and Noya's mouths

"Proceed YN"- Kinoshita

"So I like these guys, and I know they like me..."

Go on 👀

"But how do I choose? I like them all but in different ways! And I can't see being with one and not the others!"- you, dramatically collapsing on the table

"Have you told them this YN?"- Narita

Ennoshita is still holding Tanaka and Noyas mouths closed 🤚🏻

Out here doing God's work istg-

"I mean, how do you tell 4 guys you like them all and that you can't just date one of them??"- you, panicking at the disco

"Just be honest YN, that's all you can do. And if they don't like you, then they don't deserve you"- Ennoshita

You sigh as you resign yourself to the fate of coming clean

You decide to do it on your walk home with the boys

Once a week you walk home with all 4 of them, giving you the perfect opportunity to spill your guts

Once you pass Ukai's store you let it go

You stop, turn to face them and let it all out

"So I like all 4 of you but I can't possibly choose one of you over the other! There is just no way I could do that!"- you

Kags and Hinata 👉🏻😐😐

Tsukishima 👉🏻🤨

Yamaguchi 👉🏻👀

"And I know you guys like me but I can't go out with one of you knowing that I like all 4 of you alot! It just wouldn't be fair"- you 🥲

"Uhh Yn-" Kags

"Shh Tobio I'm not done yet"- you

"YN listen"- Yamaguchi

"Tadashi- just a minute, I need to say this! I care about all of you and just want to be wirh you. But I can't just be with one of you!"- you say sighing and deflated

"YN-" Hinata

"Sho please 🤚🏻 and now that I've said my peace, I'll leave you alone"- you say turning around, tears building ad you prepare to walk away

"YN you're a dumbass"- Tsukishima

You stop 🧍‍♀️ and turn to see all 4 boys looking at you, smiling

"YN we know you like all of us and we all like you"- Kageyama

"Yeah so we've decided instead of fighting for you, we'd all like to date you"- Hinata

"Well to the technical, you and Kageyama already fought may times over YN"- Yamaguchi

"Hey shut it!"- Kageyama

"🙄 YN maybe you should reconsider dating Kageyama and Hinata"- Tsukishima

You 👉🏻🥲 you- you guys really mean that 🥺🥺

"YN we know you can't choose and we'd never make you. It's not fair!"- Hinata

You👉🏻 really 🥺

You run up to each of them and hug them, kissing their cheeks sweetly!

"You guys are the best! I have the cutest boyfriends ever "- you say, standing back from them 🥰

Thus begins your polyship 💁‍♀️

I won't lie YN, it takes some work

Please when Kageyama and Hinata go on their two week friendship hiatus, it's awkward

But you figure out a great schedule that works well for you and you boys

Everyday, you walk to school with with you boys and home

You stop at Ukai's store and help them study

Please they need all the help they can get and Yachi can only do so much 🤚🏻

Heck you all even have an adorable group chat 🥺😍

Which will come in handy 👀

Because our precious YN has been asked to be a manager at the first year training camp with Tsukishima 🙌🏻

Please Tsukki is SO freaking smug 😏

"Why can't YN come with to the Team Japan Youth training?"- Kageyama

"Because she wasn't invited Kageyama"- Suga

"So what? I could smuggle her in!"- Kageyama

"She will be busy enough with me at the training camp"- Tsukishima

"I'm happy for you YN but I'll miss you"- Yamaguchi 🥺

"Oh bby- I'll miss you too"- you say hugging Yams

"What the hell Yn? I'll be in Tokyo! You'll just be at Shiratorizawa!"- Kageyama our jealous boi

"Is someone jealous Tobio?"- you 🙃

"YeAh ToBiO"- Tsukishima 😝

Surprisingly Hinata says nothing

That's odd, that's strange 🤨

And you only figure out why when you enter the first year camp to see Hinata next to Tsukishima

You go through a range of emotions

You👉🏻 😃😐🙁😠

Please you are so mad!

Daichi's lecture is nothing compared to a YN lecture 😅

Plus Tsukishima is MAD

He wanted time with just you but nope

Despite the setback, training camp goes relatively well

Or at least you THINK it does 🙃

Unfortunately you not only are dating 4 dummies BUT they are protective as well

In fact, here's a sneak peek into daily chats with your 4 knuckle heads 🙄

Please this is the entire camp YN

And when you get back, Kageyama and Yamaguchi partially maul you with hugs, cheek kisses and tons of love 🥰

"YN never leave me again!"- Kageyama

"You left for Tokyo Tobio"- you 😐

"Next time you're coming with me!"- kags

"What makes you think you are going back?"- Hinata 🤨

"I know I am idiot"- Kageyama

"YN next time you can just stay here with me"- Yams

"She was fine with me"- Tsukki

"AND ME"- hinata

"Jesus YN look what you did now"- Daichi

You👉🏻🧍‍♀️ 😐 IM LITERALLY JUST EXISTING

"Too much YN reign it in"- Suga 🙃

Sorry YN, this is your life 🤣

Masterlist

You couldn't breathe. The beautiful white material billowing beneath you suddenly felt restricting. Suffocating. Like a prison of lace, and ribbons, and sequins. The room was starting to spin slightly, and you swayed on your heels.

You tried to use your reflection to anchor yourself, but the person staring back at you was practically unrecognizable. All you saw was an empty shell. A ghost.

Your soul was somewhere else. Your heart was somewhere else, or rather with someone else. And it wasn't the man waiting for you at the end of the aisle just a few rooms away. No, it was the last person you had ever expected.

It was dimples. And a gummy smile. Grabbing and shaking your shoulders during laughing fits. The most ridiculous and priceless expressions. The softest heart. Big, dazzling, brown eyes. The one man you had loved your entire life, and would, without a doubt, love for the rest of it. Your very best friend. Your Vernon.

Tears threatened to spill from your eyes, and you couldn't discern if their nature was sad, angry, happy, or some sort of mix. You frantically searched the glass for any sign of the person who should've been experiencing the best day of their life. The bride. They had to be there somewhere.

You reflected back to yourself with a face of terror and uncertainty. Someone who knew they were about to make the biggest mistake of their life. But was the mistake walking down that aisle, or walking out the door? Panic seized you at the realization that someone would be coming to get you from the room any moment now.

No one else would ever understand. And your husband to be would probably never forgive you. But you would never be able to forgive yourself if you married a man you didn't truly love. If you settled for what was easy. And safe.

You liked your fiance just fine, and you were pretty sure the two of you would still have a happy life together. It just wasn't the life you wanted. And deep down, you knew that a part of you would always resent him if you went through with this wedding. He deserved better than that, and so did you.

You wanted the passion. The fun. The spark. You yearned for it. The warmth. The feeling of home. The completely undeniable feeling of having found your person.

Vernon had made it clear that he had found you a long time ago, and now you were just trying to catch up in the midst of the terrible timing.

The Night Before

"I can't believe you're getting married tomorrow."

You laughed as you glanced over at your best friend who was lying next to you on the roof of your parent's house, the sky above you lit up with stars. This had always been the spot the two of you would go to get away from everyone and everything, ever since you were kids.

"Never thought it would happen, huh?" you quipped back.

The man next to you sighed, "Not like this."

You sat up suddenly and stared down at your best friend quizzically.

"Meaning?"

"I guess I just…I just thought… You know what, nevermind. Forget I said anything." he insisted as he brushed off your question.

Like hell you were gonna let it go now.

"Vernon," you started slowly, and his name felt heavy on your tongue for some reason, "What did you mean by not like this?"

He was sitting upright beside you a moment later, eyes finding your own, and you were scared. Because he looked scared. Terrified, actually.

"I can't tell you." he said, his voice coming out so soft you almost hadn't heard him.

Something shifted in the air. Something big. Something new.

"Why can't you tell me?" you asked, your voice just as quiet, just as scared.

"Because…I can't take you hating me for the rest of your life. It's the one thing that would kill me. Even more than what's killing me right now."

The pain you heard in his voice made you instinctively reach for his hand. He was really scaring you now.

“Nonie, what are you talking about? Whatever it is, I’m not going to hate you. I could never hate you.” you tried assuring him, squeezing his hand tightly with your own.

Your grip was tighter than what you had intended, but right now, it felt like he could slip away from you at any moment. And you couldn’t let him go. Wouldn’t let him go. Vernon just stared down at your intertwined hands, staying silent.

“Hey, remember when I had just gotten my Nintendo DS for my birthday? I brought it to summer camp, and you accidentally dropped it in the lake the first day. I didn’t hate you then.” you reminded him, flashing a small smile.

Your best friend raised a questioning eyebrow at you, making you giggle slightly.

“Okay, fine, but that was only for like a day. And, we were ten. Ten year olds hold grudges over dumb shit.”

That finally earned you the tiniest grin from him, and he didn’t seem quite as out of reach.

“The point is, you’re one of my favorite people on this planet. You’re my very best friend, Vernon. Now, I don’t know what has you so worried that you think I would hate you forever. But I am telling you now, there is nothing, nothing, you could do that would make me hate you. Not now, not ever. So please, just tell me what’s going on.” you pleaded, scooting closer to him.

“Fuck.” he breathed out before dropping your hand and suddenly getting to his feet.

Terror flooded you once more, freezing you in place as you watched him run a hand through his hair in frustration. His slightly trembling hands clenched and unclenched.

“Vernon, please, just tell me.” you whispered into the night air, your voice catching on some of the words.

“I thought it would be us.” he said without looking at you.

You stared at him incredulously, “What?”

“I thought, that when this day came…it would be me waiting for you at the end of that aisle.” he gave a sad laugh, and something inside of you broke, “But, I guess that was just the fantasy of a stupid, naive, little boy.”

You tried to grasp for thoughts, words, but your head was spinning impossibly fast. The whole world felt dizzying. Spiraling and spiraling, until you were left in complete darkness. Your voice was noticeably shaking when you finally spoke again, “Vernon, what, what are you saying?”

You could barely make out his figure through the tears quickly forming in your eyes. He still wouldn’t look at you.

“I’m saying, that for me, it’s always been you. Always. But I thought, I hoped, that seeing you again these last few weeks would help me to finally get over you. That if I saw you were happy with someone else…then I would be able to let you go. Instead, it just twisted the knife deeper because we fell right back into what we had always been. Your smile. Your laugh. Your warmth. You’re my home, Y/N. The only thing I’ve realized these last few weeks is that I still love you as much as I always have. As much as I always will.”

The clear, raw emotion in his voice had you choking on a sob as you scrambled to your feet. You tried to step toward him, and gasped sharply as you immediately lost your footing. Vernon was closing the distance between you in one swift motion, strong, safe arms wrapping around you and pulling you to him.

“I got you.” he whispered into your hair, and you started crying freely now.

“Why? Why are you doing this now?” you wailed, your tears staining his shirt.

“I’m so sorry…” he started, and you realized he was crying too.

Your chest fucking ached, and your shuddering breaths were deafening in the night air.

“Fuck, Vernon. I’m getting married. Tomorrow. And you’re telling me this, now?!”

He pulled back and took your face into his hands, thumbs wiping at your wet cheeks, “I’m so fucking sorry. I needed you to know. I know I should’ve said something sooner. I’m so, so sorry.”

Your lip was trembling as you stared up at him with blurry eyes, and he smiled down sadly at you.

“You idiot.” you sobbed, Vernon’s face crumbling instantly.

He pressed his lips to your forehead, his own tears wetting your skin as your body shook with the overwhelming emotion.

“Please don’t hate me.” he begged softly.

"I don't." you cried, "This is just, it's a lot to take in when I'm supposed to be marrying someone else tomorrow. The timing is fucking terrible."

"Fuck, I know. I swear to you I thought the feelings would just go away. God, I wish they would, because feeling like this, is fucking killing me."

He drew in a shaky breath, and you clutched him even tighter.

"Which is why…I think it's probably best if I'm not at the wedding tomorrow."

Your chest tightened painfully as you drew back to look at him, "But I need you there. I need my best friend. I need you."

Vernon shook his head, and you had never seen him look so sad.

"I don't wanna risk making a fool of myself and embarrassing you in the process. I would never forgive myself, and neither would you."

"Nonie, please." you pressed gently.

"Let me ask you something, are you happy with him?"

You paused, but only for a second.

"I mean, yeah. He's really sweet, and he's been really good to me."

"Do you love him?" Vernon asked without missing a beat.

You hated it, but that one had you a little more stumped.

"Please," he breathed, "just be honest with me. If you tell me you're happy with him and that you love him, then I will be there for you tomorrow as your friend. I'll push everything else aside and just be happy for you, as long as you're really happy."

You broke down again, and his hands quickly came up to cup your cheeks once more. You saw the surprise flash across his features, followed by sheer panic.

"Hey, hey, I'm sorry. I have no right to ask you that, given the circumstances. Please, just forget it…forget I said-”

“I don’t know!” you cut him off with an emotional outburst.

Your best friend’s eyes went wide, hands dropping from your face, “You don’t know what?”

“Fuck! I don’t know if I love him, okay? I mean, I think I definitely could with time. I mean, we do have forever, right?” you were talking to yourself more than to Vernon, but the words continued to slip out.

“He’s been so good to me, and he loves me so much. And, I, I think I could be there with him too, someday. But right now I just, I just, ugh! Now I’m so fucking confused. My wedding is tomorrow! Tomorrow!! And you’re here, and you’re telling me these things, and looking at me like that. Now I don’t know. About anything!” you fumed, arms flailing around wildly as you talked.

“Whoa, okay, let’s try to calm down for a second, yeah? Maybe take some deep breaths for me, can you do that?” Vernon asked you gently as his hands rubbed up and down your arms.

You sniffled, but then slowly nodded your head. His eyes stayed focused on you as you inhaled deeply before exhaling a moment later, repeating the action a few more times until you’d felt like you’d sufficiently calmed down.

Vernon leaned his forehead against yours and let out a deep sigh. His hands reached down to find your own, holding them tightly between you. With your world still spinning, the contact really felt like the sole thing keeping you anchored to the current moment.

“Do you remember?” Vernon spoke up suddenly, but his voice was soft, “When we were teenagers, I used to drive to your house late at night to pick you up and sneak you out. And then we would just drive. For hours.”

You couldn't help but smile at the memory as you pulled back to look at him, “Sometimes all night. Sometimes until the sun came up the next day. And we always talked about just getting the hell out, driving off together and leaving everything and everyone else behind. Just drive and see where we’d end up.”

He beamed back at you, and your smile widened.

“Just partners in crime. And their getaway car.” he added, making you laugh slightly.

Oh to be those dumb teenagers again. Everything had been so much easier back then. Maybe the two of you should have just run away all those years ago. Maybe your wedding day would look completely different today if you had. So many maybes, it felt like they were unraveling you.

“What if…”

The sound of Vernon’s voice drew you back to your present reality.

“What if what?” you queried back breathlessly.

His hands squeezed yours so tight, it almost hurt.

“What if we went for that drive? The one we always talked about. Leave everything else behind. Just us.”

You heard the slightest ounce of hope in his voice, and it was like shards of glass penetrating your heart. Slashing and tearing. Leaving your chest in shreds.

“I can’t.”

It killed you to let those words slip, and the brief spark in your best friend’s eyes died immediately. Tears started to gather in your eyes once more, but you did your best to hold them back. Otherwise, you were just going to fall apart all over again.

“I understand.” Vernon said finally, his voice sounding defeated and flat.

“I’m sorry, Vernon. I can’t run away from this. I have to be brave and face it. Or it’ll follow me forever. I need some time to think and sort out my feelings. It wouldn’t be fair to me, him, or you to give you an answer right now. I’m sorry, I wish I could. I really do.”

He let out a long sigh, “No, I know, you’re right. And I know I really put you on the spot with all of this, I’m sorry. I should’ve told you all of this a long time ago, before it was too late.”

“Yes, you should’ve.” you agreed, but your tone was more lighthearted than scolding, “But, despite everything, I’m glad you told me. I just…have a lot to think about.”

“I get it. Thanks for hearing me out. If you do decide to go through with the wedding, then I truly wish you all the love and happiness in the world. But…I just don’t think I can be there to see it. I’m really sorry.”

His own eyes were starting to grow misty again. Damn, if only one of you could hold it together for more than five seconds.

“I hate it. But I get it. I want you there, more than anything. But I also understand if you just can’t be.”

“I love you.”

It wasn't like you had never heard him say those words before, but this particular time they just held so much more weight. A heaviness that settled itself as a pit inside your stomach.

“I love you too.”

It was always so easy to say back, even if your words were much lighter at the moment. Hanging between you before dissolving into the night air. Flying away with an undeniable freedom that you so desperately wished you could possess.

Back to a Bride's Existential Crisis

You had a huge, life changing decision to make, and not nearly enough time to make it. You glanced at your purse a few feet away, at the envelope visibly sticking out of it. The one you had sealed and slipped in your bag last night after Vernon had left. The one addressed to your waiting fiance.

The letter had been so much easier to write than you'd thought it would be, even if you were just writing it as a just in case. It was an explanation, an apology, and a goodbye all in one. But you still hadn't been able to bring yourself to deliver it last night. You'd had too many feelings bouncing around inside you, and felt that it'd only be right to sleep on them and hope that the morning brought clarity.

Of course, it hadn't. Because you were still attempting to attend your own wedding, and you were still just as confused.

"Fuck. What am I doing?"

You posed the question to your frazzled reflection, and no surprise, you received nothing helpful in return. Instead, you walked over to retrieve the letter from your purse.

Your fingers made contact, and you started to pull the envelope out. However, with your anxious and stressed state, you ended up accidentally tipping your purse over, some of the contents spilling out onto the floor.

"Shit." you swore under your breath as you started to reach for the letter, but found yourself frozen in place when you saw what else had fallen out of your bag.

With shaking hands, you picked up the item from the floor. You felt tears pricking at your eyes once more as you took in the photo strip of two goofy and idiotic, but happy teenagers.

You and Vernon. Back when you were in high school. It was just one of those things that you had always kept with you. Vernon, of course, had the matching one.

You studied the little colorful squares. Vernon with his ridiculous facial expressions, that he still constantly pulled today. And you. Smiling, laughing. Happy. Because of him. Because of his contagious warmth. Because he was home.

Before you even realized what you were doing, you had your phone in your hand and the line was ringing. You didn’t understand how such a small sound could be so impossibly loud, filling up the room around you. It felt like an eternity of ringing. But then-

“Y/N?”

Both of your hands frantically wrapped around your phone to hold it to your ear, “H-Hey.”

“Hey. I was, hah, I was just about to call you actually.”

You shook your head even though he couldn’t see you and chuckled slightly.

“How do you always know? You always know.”

“Must be our shared brain cell.” he teased back, making you laugh again.

A moment of heavy silence followed.

“Nonie?” you whispered into the phone.

“Yeah?”

“I…I don’t think I can do this. I think…I think this is a mistake.”

Your voice was shaking, as well as your hands.

“Do you mean the wedding? Or do you mean…” he trailed off, and your heart sank.

“I can’t marry him, Vernon. I just can’t. I’m fucking terrified to walk down that aisle and make the biggest mistake of my life.”

You barely managed to get the words out with how much your own emotion was choking you. The gasp your best friend let out on the other end cut you straight to your core.

“Fuck, Vernon. Everything is so messed up. I’m having a full blown panic attack on my wedding day. I’m gonna ruin this expensive ass make up on my face. This dress just feels fucking wrong. And I feel fucking wrong. And everything is just…just wrong!” you spewed into the receiver in an emotional burst.

“Y/N, I need you to listen to me, okay? Can you do that for me, please?” Vernon asked gently, seeming much more calm and collected than you.

You made a conscious effort to try and slow your breathing, “Yeah, o-okay.”

“Okay, good. Now, I need you to walk over to the window. Let in some fresh air, that should help you calm down.”

It sounded logical enough to you. There was a window to your left, and you carefully made your way over to it.

“I just wish you were here.” you mused aloud as your hands settled along the bottom of the frame, ready to try and lift it to let some air in.

You heard Vernon’s breath catch on the other end.

“Look up.”

You’d had yet to actually look out the window. Your gaze lifted to stare out through the glass, one of your hands immediately flying up to your mouth.

“So, I’m here.”

His voice came through the phone, but you watched his mouth form the words from where he stood across the street next to his car. Your mind flashed back to all the times you had seen him waiting outside of your house to sneak you out when you were teenagers. Something about the way your heart was starting to race had you feeling like those same teenagers again.

“Oh my God! What are you doing here?” you queried breathlessly, your hand coming back down to rest against the window.

Vernon gave a shy smile, and even from here, you could still see his adorable dimples.

“I couldn’t, uh, I couldn’t miss my best friend’s wedding.”

You let out a nervous laugh, “Sorry you came all this way when there might not even be a wedding.”

“Truth be told, I needed to see you.”

“Me too.”

“You look so beautiful. Like a dream.”

It was impossible to miss the way his face flushed furiously, and you felt your own face heat at his words.

“You look so handsome. I can’t even remember the last time I saw you in a suit.” you remarked, your tone somewhat teasing.

He blushed again, and awkwardly shifted his feet. You had never been more endeared by him. He really was so stunning. Classic open black suit and tie. Wavy chestnut locks parted to frame his face, some loose strands falling over onto his forehead. Like a dream, you thought.

“Vernon…listen. If I’m being honest, I haven’t been able to stop thinking about what you said last night. About you. About exploring this. Us.”

As soon as the last word left your lips, he started walking towards you, crossing the street in a few quick strides.

“Do you mean that?” he inquired, stopping just a few feet away from the other side of the window.

You knew the weight your answer held. You saw it swirling in his dark irises.

“Look. I can’t promise that I’ll feel what you feel, and have been feeling for years now. I can’t promise that I won’t hurt you, or that we won’t hurt each other. But, what I do know is that if I don’t give this, us, a chance, then I will always regret it. Even more than I’ll regret not walking down that aisle and marrying the wrong man. A good one, but the wrong one. He’s not my one.”

“Open the window.”

The line went dead, and your own phone slipped from your hands. Vernon’s eyes never left yours as he walked right up to the glass. Your hands were trembling as you carefully lifted up the layer separating you from each other. Suddenly he was right there in front of you, and air rushed in, clean and cool. Why was it then that you felt like you couldn’t breathe.

“Hey.” he greeted you, growing bashful again as he leaned his palms against the windowsill.

You giggled, heart glowing with that teenage feeling, “Hi.”

“Are you sure about this? I mean, all I want, all I’ve ever wanted is for you to be happy. I always secretly hoped that it would be with me, but if not then…I would just be happy if you were happy.”

His own hands were shaking, and his words were coming out in a rush. You reached out to intertwine your hands with his, and his big, beautiful, brown eyes looked back at you with what you could only describe as love. Warm and pure.

You may not have been there with him yet, but the stirring of wings inside you was undeniable. Excited, restless, little things. Full of curiosity. Hope.

“So…what happens now? I’ve never walked out of a wedding before. Let alone my own.” you quipped, and Vernon’s face contorted in laughter.

You joined in with him until you were both beside yourselves, Vernon having to lean on your bare shoulder for support.

“Well,” he started once he had finally regained his composure, gesturing behind him, “I did bring a getaway car.”

“Partners in crime.” you said back, giving him a knowing smile.

He beamed back at you and gave your hands a squeeze.

“Always.”

“Can I…” he trailed off, face flushing an even deeper shade of crimson.

“What?” you pressed, giggling slightly.

“Can I, uh, I mean would it be okay if, if I, if I um kissed you?”

His flustered state was so unbelievably adorable to you. The wings were growing incessant now.

“I mean, it is my wedding day. So somebody better.” you retorted snarkily, although you were blushing just as deep.

Vernon let out a shuddering breath, and you prepared for what would probably be the most awkward first kiss of your life. But then there was a sudden surge of confidence as he took your face into his hands, pulling you towards him.

A gasp had just barely escaped you before his lips were descending on your own. The wings inside you took flight. Soaring and falling and soaring again. It was like you were plummeting and ascending all at the same time. So this was what it was supposed to feel like.

Your hands reached out to grab onto his suit jacket and tug him even closer. Vernon groaned, and you smiled into the kiss. You felt his tongue slip past your lips a moment later, and sighed out at his taste. You were both desperately trying to get closer to each other, but there was still an open window between you… Which led to both of you losing your balance.

“Shit!” you exclaimed in surprise as you both tumbled onto the grass below, Vernon somewhere underneath your literal cloud of a wedding dress.

“Oh my God! What the hell is going on here?”

You looked back in horror to see your mother standing in the window looking down at you. Vernon was fighting for his life to surface from the white, billowy, death trap.

“M-Mom? I can, I can explain!”

Her eyes followed the movement of your dress as Vernon’s head popped up, looking dazed and his waves a mess. Your mom looked back and forth between the two of you, and your mouth opened and closed several times, but nothing came out. Finally, she just shook her head and laughed, “Well, it’s about damn time you two.”

“Mom!” you practically shrieked, “You knew?”

“Yeah, you knew?!” Vernon piped up as he recovered the upper half of his body from the bottom of your dress.

Your mother shot both of you a knowing look.

“Vernon, sweetie, you only used to ask for our blessing like once a week.”

Your best friend looked like he would much rather prefer being suffocated by the neverending layers of fabric, than to be having this conversation with your mother right now.

“That was when we were still kids!” Vernon shot back defensively.

“Yes, but, I could just tell. Mothers always can.” she voiced, flashing him a wink.

You didn’t think there was any way his face could get any redder, but then again, neither could yours probably.

“So, uh, the wedding is off. Sorry.” you said awkwardly.

“For what it’s worth, I’m proud of you for following your heart.”

Her words nearly brought tears to your eyes, but you blinked them away.

“I left a letter for him, will you please make sure he gets it? And tell everyone I’m sorry?” you requested with a sheepish smile.

“Of course. Now, you two better get out of here. Sneak off like you always used to as teenagers, even though you thought I didn’t know about that. But I did. Like I said, mothers always know.”

You and Vernon looked at each other, a mixture of shock and embarrassment on your faces. Wow, so many revelations today. You were letting out a squeal a moment later, when Vernon suddenly swept you and all your layers up into his arms, bridal style. He made a run for the car, or as much of a run as he could manage while carrying you, the two of you laughing wildly all the while.

Getting you and the dress to fit in the passenger seat was quite the ordeal, but you and Vernon found a way to make it work.

“Well, my lady, where to?” Vernon asked from the driver’s seat.

You leaned across the console to put a hand on the side of his face before softly pressing your lips against his own, “Anywhere. Just drive.”

Happy Sebastian Stan is clearly a vampire day, bubbie! 💕🌸💕

May you bump into him on the streets of NYC one day, and upon realizing you have just done THAT, you scream so loud you scare the living shit outta him and he thinks you got hurt or something, so he goes to see what's wrong and you explain that it's outta sheer love and adoration. Him being the baby boy he is, blushes for dayz and goes in for a hug and that's when your entire life gets made. The end.

This will happen. I shall manifest it into being 💙❤️💙❤️

Hiii Oula bubba 💛💛 Thank you so so much for this lovely message 🥰🥰🥰 He clearly is a vampire, this man just does not AGE. I mean. Look at Seb in 2016. Vs Seb in 2022. He just looks more BABYYY 🥺🥺😭😭💖💖💖

Even if he’s getting more grey hairs and is now 40 (???!!), he’s still baby in my mind and he probably will forever be. He just has that baby boy quality you know? 🥺💕

I know your ask is about me hopefully randomly running into Seb when I’m in New York this fall, and if I do I’ll try to keep my screaming internal (I will take that hug though), but let me just once again SCREAM at you about how this man is the most amazing, wonderful, kind and generous man (I will drag you into his fandom, kicking and screaming lmao - but I’ll do it under the cut because this turned out longer than I expected 😂)

He’s an absolute sweetheart. He’ll dedicate time to fans even if he’s working, he supports so many charities that he actively promotes. The love he shows his friends is just incredible heartwarming, and nothing makes me happier than to see they feel the same about him. Every one who works with him LOVES him, and rightly so. Whether it be all the directors, his costars, or even the crew. Because he puts time and effort into listening, being generous with his time (and money), and just being kind.🥰🥰🥰

And even if he cannot take a compliment without ducking or hiding his face, laughing it off and blushing like a schoolgirl, he gives out compliments and love like no one else. He’ll always praise everyone around him before even thinking about the hard work he himself put into anything.

And on top of that, he’s just the weirdest little weirdo, and he has no shame in it 😂. He’s just unapologetically himself, and it makes me love him even more. Whether it’s dancing with a kitchen knife to get a role, or dancing like a lunatic and hitting his head, or sharing all the ways he’s gotten injured because he’s a clumsy little baby 😂Or the faces he pulls or the things he does to be dramatic. This man is a walking me-me, and proud of it, and I couldn’t love him more. 💛💛💛💛

And of course, he’s freaking gorgeous, no matter what age. And I cry about that every day. So yeah, Happy Birthday to Baby 💕💕, I hope he has the BEST day.

#maya answers #thank you for manifesting me meeting him bubba 💖💖💖#who knows!!!#happy birthday baby 💗💗#sebastian stan

ally!!!!! i’ve always loved You Know Where the City Is but wow this is the best chapter by far! like i’ve gone from obsessed to mega ultra double obsessed. everyone talking about wrapping fic!matty in a bunch of blankets and feeding him some soup is so real- you always manage to make the most cozy sweetie pie characters no matter what the fic is about. (it goes without saying that fic! taylor much like the real deal is just perfect and i love her)

counting down the chapters till we meet fic!george. so intrigued to see how there relationship will play out since you said it might not be what we expect…. love a good surprise!!!!

im practically bursting with excitement to read the christmas fic and any of the prompts you have been working on but good things take time! please don’t feel rushed to give us new content you already do so much for the sickfic matty community lmao.

hope you have a happy holiday break🥹 sending love always (also don’t be alarmed if i reblog the majority of your prompts on here soon- i have such a bad habit of liking a fic and then scrolling past it once i’ve read it so i need to go back and hunt for them all and actually save them for next time)

Ahhh thank you SO MUCH for this lovely ask omg, and thank you so much for always being so lovely, and kind and supportive 🥰 I apologize this took me a few days to respond to- I usually try and respond to asks on my laptop because I find them easier to formate and alas I had not been back on desktop Tumblr until now.

I'm so, so, so happy to hear that you enjoyed the newest chapter of You Know Where the City Is! I went back and forth on that chapter a lot (an original draft included a trip to Target lol) but I'm really pleased with how it came out and am glad that other people like it as well! Fictional!Matty (and Fictional!Taylor) could REALLY use a hug oh my gosh. They are both going through it and the worst part is they don't even realize how unwell they all 🥺 Fictional!George will be making his appearance very soon! All I can say is that Fictional!Matty is an unreliable source of information 👀 I hope people end up liking how it plays out!

I'm so excited about the Holidays fics but WOW I hope I can actually finish them in time! I haven't even finished the first one yet and I feel like the holidays are getting closer and closer faster and faster 😩 one second is was the beginning of November and now suddenly it's the end of December?! Who allowed this to happen!? I'm behind on the little schedule I made for myself- but hopefully I'll get them both done! Of course my plot bunnies are like "ummm Ally we have all the inspiration for this completely unrelated project!!!" and I'm over here like "not NOW"

We will hopefully be back to our regularly scheduled prompt fulfillment and sickfic programing after the holidays! I'm sorry about the delay, I know people are looking forward an end of SATVB / IV situation fic and I promise I am working on one!! Alas I have just also been really busy with real life.

Thank you so much for the love and I hope you have the most wonderful holidays as well! If you're ever looking for all of the prompt fills I have filled - they can be found here!

Thank you so much again for your kind words, for reading my fics and for your support! You are just so lovely and I am so grateful for your kindness! I hope you are having a wonderful night / day and will hopefully have some more fic ready soon!

❤️Ally

#allylikethecat #ask ally #fanfiction #keep it kind #you know where the city is #thank you so much again #im sorry this took me so long to respond too #and that i havent gotten any of the sick fics out #but thank you so much for reading #and being so lovely in general #and im so happy you're enjoying the fake dating fic #i love it and them both so much

Hi, i love you work! can you write one please with minnie? maybe during the OTY tour? how it was like for her? kinda like a Hit the Road episode

Hiii, thank youu!!🥰❤️

And yesss, of course!! I really enjoyed writing this even though I rewatched the Hit The Road episodes to get the structure as accurate as possible and it made me ball out my eyes once again🥲

I hope you like it and thanks for your support!🤗🤍

And thanks to everyone who voted on the title! :)

Family Isn‘t Blood And Home Isn‘t A Place 🌷 Minnie

K-Pop Masterlist

Requests, asks, and taglist are open! :)

Summary: Minnie‘s Hit The Road Episode in which Carats get an insight of the growth of the female performer, the struggles of balancing your health and stage presence, and the sadness of not being able to visit home

Warnings: none besides self consciousness and that it gets a bit emotional at some parts🥺

Word Count: 3k

────────⊹⊱✫⊰⊹────────

One of the stylists was closing the back of Minnie's stage outfit while the young girl was eyeing herself up and down in the mirror in front of her.

"Take your hair, or the zipper is gonna get it," she told the performer, who listened and put all of her hair to one side.

"Did my body change?" she thought out loud, running both of her hands down her waist and hips, "I feel like it did."

"You're only imagining things, don't worry. Your body still looks fine," the older female tried to assure her.

After taking a deep breath, Minnie sighed, "Fine isn't good," and turned around, making the camera get a better view of her, "Fine is never good."

--- Hit The Road Intro

EP. 14 Family Isn't Blood And Home Isn't A Place ---

NEW YORK 2020.01.09 AM 06:30

The door to one of the hotel rooms opened, showing Minnie just coming out, who jumped slightly seeing the camera right in front of her: "Oh, hi," she waved "I was just gonna look for you," she smiled, "Let's go. Hoshi's still sleeping," shushed the cameramen and closed the door silently behind her, trying not to wake up her member. As the two started walking down the hallway, the girl explained what they were doing: "I couldn't sleep, so I texted the cameraman that I would go outside and watch the sunrise and asked him if I could take the camera with me, but he insisted on tagging along. So here we are." With a bright smile, she walked into the elevator that had arrived.

"You know, you can still change your mind, you don't have to come along, it's very early," she told the cameraman, who just shook his head and told her that it's okay.

"I try to get the most out of the cities that we perform in," Minnie revealed in her interview, sitting on the sofa, "I don't mind waking up early because I usually can't sleep anyway. I don't know why," she laughed nervously.

"New York is known for its architectural style and skyline, right?" she asked herself as they were walking down the street, trying to find the river they had passed on the way to the hotel. "So, I think watching the sunrise with all of the buildings will be really cool. I even brought my own camera," she showed the camera Mingyu had gifted her not too long ago.

After only a few minutes, they found a good spot with big and steady stones, close to the bridge. The sun was slowly showing itself, rising higher every second and laying a bright orange blanket of light on top of the flowing water. Minnie got her camera out quickly and squatted down as she looked through the lens, trying to get some good pictures.

"Taking pictures is so important, to be able to reminisce memories like this in the future," she said, looking through the pictures she had just taken. After deciding that she was happy with what she got, she sat back down to enjoy the view.

"My mum used to sometimes wake me up on Sundays, very early in the morning, to drive down to the beach and watch the sunrise," she remembered, "There were a few times where we even drove to London, just to see it there by the river, like we're doing now... I guess that's why they're so important to me." After a few more minutes of comfortable silence, she spoke again, "I'm really excited to watch it once we go to London. Maybe one of the members will come along."

LOS ANGELES 2020.01.19 PM 02:00

Minnie was on her phone, texting some of her friends in the group chat, who had been asking about the tour. As soon as she noticed the camera filming her, she put the phone down,

"I've been feeling pretty well," she nodded, "I don't want to jinx it, but so far... everything's been good. I had a sore throat a few days ago, but I think it got better."

"Even if something wasn't right, she wouldn't say it," Seungcheol told the producers in the interview room, "Minnie is someone who keeps a lot of things to herself, but we've become very attentive, I think." He breathed in deeply, "I don't want to sound bad... but I do think that I keep an extra eye out for her," he admitted, "But a lot of the members do this. It's not something I or we do intentionally... I guess it just happens since she doesn't like talking about what is bothering her or if she's hurting. She always tends to ask the other members if they're okay and she tries to make them smile to forget about her own worries..."

LOS ANGELES 2020.01.19 PM 04:00

The camera filmed Minnie limping slightly to a chair in the backstage area. She sat down with a frown and hold onto her ankle, "I jinxed it," she smiled with a hurt look on her face, "I'm not wearing ideal shoes for practice," the camera showed her plateau shoes that were definitely too high for a casual practice, "and when I went down the stairs on the stage, I missed a step. Argh, crap...," she winced.

At the same moment, Jun walked past her, "Hey, are you okay? I saw you on the stairs," he crouched down next to her.

"Oh yeah yeah," she quickly responded with a thankful smile, "I just tripped slightly, it's fine." Her fellow performance unit member looked at her with a questioning look, not believing her entirely, but he also knew, she wasn't going to tell him what was actually wrong, so he left with a pat on her shoulder. He was later seen talking to Hoshi, "Check up on Minnie later, I think she hurt her foot pretty badly. It looked painful when she tripped." To which the younger man nodded worryingly.

"I don't like being a burden," Minnie admitted to the camera, "Each one of the members has their own problems, so why should I bother them with mine? You know?"

"Why do you think that would be a burden?" One of the producers asked her.

The girl looked at her with her lips pressed together, not sure if what she wants to say would be right, so she chose not to, "I don't know...," she shrugged.

ODE TO YOU IN SAN JOSE 2020.01.21 PM 06:00

Minnie sighed as she leaned back, sitting on one of the couches in their dressing room. She took a few breaths before she spoke, "I didn't really listen to the pain two days ago and just took some medication to help with it. But it got worse, so now those pills don't really work anymore." She tried to smile. Minghao and Dino suddenly appeared, the Chinese member sat down next to her while the youngest took the couch to their left.

"You know, you can sit this one out," her fellow '97 Liner told her honestly.

"No, it's fine, I'm just trying to rest it now," she looked at her foot that was placed on the coffee table in front of her, an ice pack on her ankle, "And I'll take the medicine I took yesterday again."

"Even the doctor told you to not dance today," Dino tried to tell her with a soft voice, not wanting to make her angry.

"But I still know myself the best and know what I'm capable of doing," she said back, in a soft tone.

"But I know you too and I'm not letting you out there with a swollen ankle," Hoshi showed up behind her, placing his hands on her shoulders, "I already told S.Coups, you're sitting this one out, sorry."

"No," she quickly turned around, "Don't do this, please, it's fine," she gave him her puppy eyes that worked 9 out of 10 times, "I can rest between the US and Europe tour dates."

"Why do you always have to look at me like that," Hoshi whined. He thought about her words for a second, knowing her feelings all too well and didn't want to be too harsh on her, "Alright, but no performance unit songs. I'm not letting you ruin your feet."

The girl sighed and turned back around, "Fine."

"Don't sigh, I can make you miss out on the entire concert," he teased her by messing up her hair slightly.

"Thank youuu," she quickly said with a fake wide smile, making the members in the room laugh.

"Minnie is very hardworking, in every aspect," the tiger described the girl, "She's the one who would leave the practice room the latest and show up the earliest." He then smiled proudly and tugged at his shirt, "But sometimes you have to kick some sense into her, and that's where her older brothers come in."

"I honestly couldn't tell you the amount of times I've told her that her recording was good, but she insisted on doing it over and over again to make it better," it was Woozi's turn to talk about the female.

"She needs to hear that it's perfect or she needs to be convinced of it herself. That... that is good in some aspects,... but I think it's really eating her up a lot of the time."

A few clips of her in the studio with the producer were shown.

ODE TO YOU IN MAKUHARI 2019.11.07 MAKUHARI MESSE

Minnie and Wonwoo could be seen playing a game together on one of their phones, focusing on it while holding up a conversation, "He's gonna be fine, right?" She asked.

"Of course," he assured her, "He might be the youngest, but he's one of the toughest." His comment made her chuckle, "That’s true."

"How are you holding up?" Wonwoo wondered after the game was over and they sat down next to each other, her head leaning on his shoulder, "I'm doing pretty well, I'm worried about some of the others-" before she could finish, he interrupted her, "Don't worry about them, they'll be fine. Look after yourself first. And tell us if something's not right," and made sure to mention her habit of keeping everything to herself.

"Alright alright," she smiled.

"Promise?" He held up his pinky, making her raise her head and look at him with an amused look on her face, "Wow, you're really serious."

"Of course, I am," he simply stated before looking at his stretched out finger in front of her, motioning for her to seal the promise. Minnie intertwined their pinkies with a smile and an eye roll, "Promise."

ODE TO YOU IN MANILA 2020.02.08 PM 04:00 MALL OF ASIA ARENA

While clips of the members walking up the stage and performing were shown, Minnie's voice was played over them, "I don't think I'll ever get used to this. It still kinda feels like a dream, to be honest," she chuckled. "Touring the world with 13 guys, seeing thousands of fans, hearing them sing your songs in a language they don't even speak... that just doesn't true, does it?" Suddenly she could feel her eyes water at the thought of her next sentence, "But I'm so incredibly thankful for it. I don't know whether this is a dream or not though."

"It's not," one of the producers assured her, making the girl chuckle, "That's exactly something someone in a dream would say." She looked down to the floor, "I'm very very thankful. To the Carats who have been there since the beginning, to the ones who have joined us over the years, the ones who were there and left, and obviously the ones who are still here with us on this journey," she looked back up again, "But the members...", the camera caught her eyes getting tearier, "They are just...", she sighed, "I don't think I will ever be able to explain how much they mean to me, in words." Clips of her interacting with the members on stage could be seen before it switched back to her in the interview room, now clearly very close to tears.

"It sounds cheesy... I know that. But I really wouldn't be sitting here if it wasn't for them." She thought for another second and continued then, "Especially S.Coups. He literally is the reason that I'm part of this... this family now. And they feel like family. We're not friends, not really. We're more than that. They can be friends if you need them to, but I feel as close to them as I would feel to a family."

After a deep breath and multiple blinks, she continued, "I only had my aunt and my cousin here in Korea before I met the members... they showed me that... that my family or who I consider family isn't necessarily the people that were there since birth. It's more like the people that you feel... whole with. Does that make sense?" She chuckled nervously, "I just feel... yeah... I feel completed when I'm with them... and empty without them. Even if just one of them is missing. We're so different but we make such a perfect combination when we're together. They've never let me feel like I'm different in a bad way, like something... like something doesn't fit. This probably doesn't make any sense, I'm sorry." Minnie smiled.

"I just hope that Carats can see this. The bond that we have. Because it's a very special bond that no one could break. S.Coups... is like our foundation. He has a lot on his shoulders and I really hope we can help with that because he's the person we rely on, but he shouldn't have to be the one with the biggest burden. He is a very big and important part of why we have this incredible dynamic now. Of course, all of the members took part in it, but I'd be lying if I said that he isn't the biggest reason for it."

One tear left her eye, "Yeah... I'm really thankful."

BACKSTAGE AFTER THE CONCERT

"Now, members! Members! You worked so hard during this world tour, and with this last one, a notice is going out at 1 o'clock."

Minnie dreaded to hear those words leave their manager's mouth.

A few days ago, their management decided and told them that the Europe tour would get cancelled due to the growing pandemic that was taking over the world.

The mood in the room switched immediately, and while some members were shouting encouraging words into the room, a lot of pairs of eyes fell on the girl, who was sitting on one of the sofas with her feet up on the cushion and half her face covered by her knees. The camera didn't stop filming her, waiting for some words, but her eyes were focused on the white wall across from her. She suddenly felt a presence to her right and a hand on her hair. He didn't say anything, knowing that asking if she was okay, would probably make her cry, so Joshua just said there and patted her head. Minnie turned her head, giving him a forced smile. Seeing the tears that were forming in her eyes, almost made the '95 Liner cry. He felt bad, even if he shouldn't. The foreigners of the group got to perform in their hometowns or at least close to them and Minnie would have gotten to as well if it wasn't for this stupid happening.

Another presence approached her, this time it was Mingyu crouching down in front of her, grasping her feet and slightly squeezing them in a comforting manner.

"Did you already tell your mum?" he wondered. Minnie nodded and answered in an almost whisper, "Yeah, I texted her yesterday, but she already thought this would happen."

"That day was... heavy," she tried using nice fitting words in her interview, "It was not a good day... but it happened." She could feel the tears she had wiped away from before, come back.

"2019 wasn't my best year, so I was really dreading to go back home... to see my mum at least. So this hit me pretty harshly." The camera filmed her for some quiet minutes before she breathed in shakingly and continued, "But... again, the members made sure to not let me feel that. They took really good care of me, even though they didn't have to," she smiled with tears at the memory, "After we got back to Korea, they made me a full British Breakfast because they thought that's what everyone eats there. And they ordered some French food from... god knows where." More tears left her eyes, making it harder to speak, "They really showed me that just because I couldn't see my mum didn't mean that I wasn't home, but that... that my mum was just one of my homes and another one was... them. They make me feel like I'm home."

Some pre-debut clips of her were shown next to her dancing on stage.

"We are 14 people with completely different backstories, different personalities, and some of us even come from different countries. Yet somehow, destiny has brought us together, and I'll never be able to explain just how thankful I am for that. In those years that I've spent with the guys, I learned so much about life, love, family, and friendship. Iwant Carats to know that. And they always push me to do better and they help me with everything - I wouldn’t have been able to go through a lot if it wasn’t for them.

What we have is incredibly special, I hope they can see this through our stages, music, and whatever we put out. I'm extremely sorry to the Carats who we couldn't meet in this tour, but we promise to work hard to be able to see you one day. Seventeen and Carats are best friends and will forever be that. Thank you for everything you've made possible for us. I love you."

[If your heart beats the right way, you know you have found your forever home.]

[And I will be there for you until the very end.]

BEST OF 2021: post your most favourite or most popular posts from each month this year

Sending all the smooches to the loveliest people who tagged me, thank you lovelies 😘: @rumue @kithtaehyung @rainycle @hobeah @jeonjcngkook @jimimn @kimtaehyunq @loverjimin @suga-ssi @jung-koook 💗 (i think that’s everyone 👀)

My engagement and output on Tumblr has gone through its ups and downs this year with life happening here and there, but nonetheless I have enjoyed my time on here this year 🥺. I got closer with friends I had made last year, I got new friends, got to try out new things on the giffing front, and got to see so many amazing creations ✨! So truthfully, I am very grateful for everyone that engages in the community in whichever way they want which is why I am still here. Also thank you to anyone who has supported my content, I have had times where I was anxious of posting again after a break, but it has always been a welcoming space once I got back 🥰 I definitely didn’t post as much as I wanted to this year (though there’s a bunch of gifs I made that I never posted 😩) but I am happy with what I did do, something is better than nothing 🥺

☁️ JANUARY most popular: Namjoon on VLive Being Tricked with the “close eye and poke cheek” ‘dare’ | 3.5k favourites: Namjoon Season Greetings 2021 Looks Comp , Namjoon on VLive updating us on the status of his snow duck maker ↪ okay in hindsight I actually like the colouring for the sg 2021 comp, I definitely think I popped off (dare I say top 3 of my colourings this year 👀), I’m gonna need to find my psd for those gifs. Joon telling us that he broke the snow duck maker is just suck a joon thing to do, so I find that moment very wholesome.

☁️ FEBRUARY most popular: Hobi Birthday comp | 3.5 k ↪ to this day I have no idea what I was trying to do with this bday comp, but I’m not too mad at the result hehe favourites: Black Swan Performance on James Corden, Namjoon Comp Run BTS Episode 128, Hoseok Bday Week Event: 94 line friendship ↪ first off just looking at all these sets you will see how I don’t have one set colouring. But to this DAY I am VERY PROUD of what I managed to do with my colouring on for the black swan set, I can spend hours on colouring, which I did with this set, like 2,5 hours but the result was soooo worth it. The Joon run bts set didn’t only include funny moments, but I got many compliments on that colouring so I hold it dear to my heart. The 94 liner comp was one of the comps I enjoyed making the most this year, idk, Hobi and Joon’s friendship is just so wholesome like that.

☁️ MARS most popular & favourite: Yoongi Birthday Comp | 4.4 k ↪ Sooooo I literally posted two gifsets this month 🥴, and just like most of my bday comps I made it the day I was gonna post cause I like living on edge like that T^T, but I really liked the outcome, I let myself write whatever I wanted as captions for the gifs and used the word insanity too much, but what can I say?? IT’S YOONGI AFTER ALL

☁️ APRIL most popular & favourite: : Film out mv set | 1.6 k ↪ once again I posted 2 gif sets this month lol, but this one is another top 3 of my colouring this year. I shamelessly admire this set, cause I think I did a great job with the colours ^^

☁️ MAY most popular: Butter MV Elevator Dance Break | 8.1 k favourites: Namjoon x Rolling Stone , Namjoon at Butter Press Release , Seokjin Focus Butter Perf on Stephen Colbert ↪ For the rolling stone one I remember really enjoying the colouring process and the outcome, though it was a bit random tbh. The butter release gifs has the best quality gifs I’ve made this year, not in terms of colouring and stuff just sharpness and smoothness of the gifs, and I am GUTTED I did not save the psds. For the Jin gifs I just really loved his energy during this performance and enjoyed giffing it, plus Jin in a suit is always a sight 😍

☁️ JUNE most popular: BTS Intro Ment at Sowoozoo 2021 (day 1) | 4.4 k favourites: BTS anniversary set , Namgi moment on run bts , Namjoon being a certified hottie at sowoozoo 2021 ↪ the bangtan anniversary set was one of my experiments this year and I’m really happy with how it turned out, it took me a whileeee to make it but I managed (thank u jay for the mental support <3). Uhmmm the Namgi is a favourite because it’s a Namgi moment, and that is that! do I need to say more? I was, like everyone else, going through it when joon had yellow hair and the red top on, I am happy I still decided to make my own gifs after seeing all the other ones online, it was a worthwhile experience 😋

☁️ JULY most popular: Jin twitter video ( I forgot for what 😅) | 1.6 k favourites: Namjoon focus army playlist ↪ I just really loved the fit for the video and the color scheme for his portion of the video along with the props, just Namjoon being pretty basically, so of course it’s a favourite

☁️ AUGUST most popular: things you didn’t know about namjoon for billboard | 3.4 k favourites (okay there’s a few 😅): Namgi moments vanity fair interview , Namjoon wearing turtlenecks comp , Namjoon sowoozoo day 2 comp , Namjoon vs mint chocolate ↪ again with the crumbs I collect, anything namgi is directly a favourite <3, I have a strong love for turtlenecks so this comp was overdue just the whole process of making it was soooo fun and exciting I’m happy with the results. The sowoozoo set was my first trial with a new colouring for a while, where I was leaning into the reds and I liked the result more that I had expected and I still do so I guess it’s a success then. I am a big fan of mincho and having Joon hate it meant I had to compile all of his mincho slander, what can I say no man is flawless after all 🤷🏾‍♀️

☁️ SEPTEMBER most popular: Namjoon’s love of small things comp | 2.3k favourites: Namjoon bwl body roll comp , Namjoon birthday set ↪ Bwl body roll was one of the comps I had wanted to make for sometime, but finding good footage I could actually use was a hassle, but I am glad I went through with and now I cherish the comp. What I actually posted for Joon’s bday was very unplanned, I had started on a gfx which I wasn’t happy with, so I decided to whip up something with colours based on this infinity stone inspired set I had made last year, so I played a bit with fonts and colours and I am quite happy with the outcome ^^

☁️ OCTOBER

Ya girl was MIA, head deep into thick textbooks 😭

☁️ NOVEMBER Still MIA, but anon did make me post one gifset most popular: Hoseok x Dionysus Gayo Daechukje 2019 | 996 ↪ it was fun to gif performance gifs after a bit of time but god the lightning was annoying

☁️ DECEMBER Also MIA, but back for the last 6 days of the year 😂 most popular: Namjoon vogue korea behind | 1.8k favourite: the popular above, Hoseok at PTD on stage ↪ For the vogue korea gifs I spent some time trying to get rid of the yellow light and I DID IT!!! and the way the skintone turned out is just to my liking so I’m very happy with the set even though it’s a bit inconsistent. I just love that part of the concert like Hobi’s energy is just top notch which made me feel like a bad b giffing him so 💆🏾‍♀️

tagging a lovely bunch 🌸 (if you already did this sorry 😅) : @honsool @inkedtae @supertunajin @jung-koook @joenns @taee @jaebam @yoongi-bts @eternal-bangtan / @bangtanger @chaylani @yoongikook @jihopes @hobibestboy @namjoonia @dee-ehn @yoon2k @kimnjss @vjimin @sugajimin @gwkie @gukgi @lyseries @junghosoks @taeyungie @jmin @jimint @jsuga @tanyoorine @namgination @hopekidoki
