No Wolf-Man's Land
Fic for @barbwritesstuff's IFs 'Blood Moon' and 'Thicker Than', featuring @atypicalacademic's Mahim.
[Ao3 Mirror]
A vampire and a werewolf go to the movies, and neither knows exactly who is trespassing. Set during the time skip between parts one and two of 'Thicker Than'.
Obviously I should have waited to see how the pack's going to cameo in the game before writing this. However, and I cannot stress this enough, Barb's writing is my cocaine. The setting and the characters do things to me I don't have words to adequately describe. Either I write the fanfic as it comes to me or I start mauling.
“Okay, what seats do we want?”
“Up front!”
Hyun picks the ones they normally do. Fourth row up, two from the aisle.
Chris has an aunt-related emergency. Which is unfortunate, because Hyun likes that aunt, and annoying. Because vampires can’t pick up their sons during the day no matter how much they want to. They can’t even pick up their phones. They’re dead.
But, arrangements have been made, and now Hyun and Seong have a few nights to spend together. So what if Hyun took their toddler to a late-for-toddlers movie? It’s the weekend! Plenty other people here seemed to have the same idea.
A group ahead of them in another snack queue draws Hyun’s attention. Five kids, the oldest in her tweens and the youngest about Seong’s age, and one adult. Her buzzed brown hair reminds Hyun so much of Tracy they have to double-take and make sure it isn’t her. Three of the kids look so alike they can only be related. The two girls and the adult couldn’t have passed as relatives if lives depended on it.
“Do you have any water cups for the little guy? I’ll pay for a small.” A cashier tells the babysitter her total. She shifts the youngest boy further up her hip, opens her wallet, and frowns. “Could you make those sodas medium?”
“Can do!”
Hyun hates how chipper the cashier is. They much prefer when one’s openly bored. At least they’re honest.
“Customer service always begins with a nice, big smile.”
Hyun just about stamps down the revulsion the memory brings when the oldest girl wrinkles her nose.
“What’s that smell?”
In almost comical slow motion, the babysitter lifts her head like a dog. Then, impossibly, it whips to Hyun almost too fast to follow. Worse yet is the naked loathing on her face. Worse than that is her golden eyes.
Gold eyes, black fur, lolling tongue.
No. No, no, no. Hyun did not fuck up so bad they brought Seong into werewolf territory.
Shouldn’t they be nice and pricey somewhere further in? Not asking for a downsize at the cheapest theater in what’s technically Hyun’s domain?
Is it Hyun’s?
Shit. They’ve gone and landed themselves in the grey zone, haven’t they?
Hyun picks Seong up and clutches him close, planning the fastest way to the exit. For a split second the werewolf’s golden eyes flash down to Seong. Then her cashier presents her with popcorn, drinks, and several kinds of candy.
There’s still palpable tension: the kids crowd close to her even after she’s distributed the snacks, but the immediate danger is gone. A bored teenager asks Hyun what they’ll be getting.
Hunger fills them at the flush in the teenager’s cheeks. They order a small popcorn and drink for Seong.
~
Vampire.
It’s a testament to how held-together the pack is—so the complex she’s developed can go away now—that the theater isn’t immediately plunged into chaos. Her head, however, is a different matter.
Quiet, Olli orders. As best she can, she parses the overwhelming smells of the lobby and howls the information. Carrie?Carrie?Carrie?
I hear you, dog.
Can you sense the vampire?
Her no is a snarl of frustration. Olli pushes the image harder.
“What’s going on?” Nik asks Iz.
Change of plans? Sergi asks.
No. Tell Minjo.
Yes Alpha.
Vicky. Mahim. be ready.
Yes Alpha. Their confirmations overlap.
She feels guilty about Mahim. Hani came along so he and Farro could have a date night. Not that they’d have much of a date knowing a leech is in the theater. Next to Vicky, Mahim’s the one Olli trusts most not just to protect the pups, but to put the wolf away and get the pups comforted again.
Nik grabs her hand after they show their tickets. “Alpha, what if it tries to take us?”
Olli squeezes his hand and smiles. “I rip their head off.”
“What about Mum?” JiAn asks.
“Your Mum’s with the pack.” Olli hopes she hasn’t accidentally lied to them. If Minjo isn’t spending her night at the den, Sergi likely isn’t the only one racing to her. “Wanna guess what the pack will do?”
“Rip their heads off?”
“That’s right.”
They take their seats near the back row. Nik swaps with JiAn to sit next to her. Olli settles Alek on her lap. She owes Mahim and Farro a date night, but she’ll succeed in her original mission to give Minjo a night without the pups.
Probably a night worrying about them being near a vampire, but a night without the pups! Speaking of.
She unlocks her phone and goes to the pack’s group chat. don’t howl for me unless it’s an emergency. the pups are enjoying the movie.
Olli nearly puts her phone away, but thinks twice and scours her contacts for Lee’s number. vampire in the theater. not planning a scene rn but if things go south we wouldn’t mind a crossbow if you’re not busy. She follows it up with the address.
Lee replies surprisingly quickly. Ed already messaged me. In the area on alert.
you’re the best lee
I’m going to start charging you.
“You guys wanna take a picture?” Most the pups lean in. Alek gnaws a fistful of popcorn. “Everyone say, movies!”
“Movies!”
Olli sends the picture to Lee. you would charge a single mother? ☹ She backs out of the conversation and puts the picture in the pack chat.
Lee replies. That one on your far right looks half your age.
you would charge a teenage mother? ☹
Do NOT say you were a teenage mother. It arrives so soon after hers he had to have already been typing it.
lmao
get teen mumed bullet boy
really tho. Thank You for dropping anything else you had lined up. anything changes ed’ll contact you
She goes to her messages with Ed, which consists mostly of Pokémon Go screenshots. good call on texting lee. anything happens be sure to keep him up to speed. Olli makes sure the text goes through and turns off her phone.
There’s still time before previews start when the vampire walks in.
Fuck off.
She realizes she didn’t keep it in her head when Iz and Hani giggle. “I don’t think it heard you, Alpha Olli.”
“That’s why no one likes a leech,” Olli agrees.
She doesn’t look away from the vampire through the entire hour and a half jukebox musical. She can’t even say if there’s anyone else in the cinema. The only times she moves is when Alek howls popcorn or thirsty.
“Can I have your soda if you’re not drinking it?” Hani whispers halfway through the movie.
“I want some!” Iz hisses.
“Share,” Olli reminds them. She hears them pouring it out between their cups. On her other side JiAn and Nik split a bag of candy. Good. They’re focusing on the movie. Having fun instead of worrying what a vampire in the theater means. Or if it means anything.
killkillkillkillkill
Good thing it’s new moon, so she’s the only one who hears how damn right it’s being.
The final number plays out on screen, and the characters dance over the credits. People block her view as they stand—so there were others here—but her nose tells her the vampire hasn’t left. Like hell she’s tucking her tail and running before a leech.
Eventually, it’s just them and the vampire. It turns its head as if to check, yes, the werewolf’s been the one boring holes in its head the entire movie. Changing during a new moon is so effortless now. The wolf in her wants it to try. She wants it to try. On four legs she’d be across the cinema in a blink. Pin it below the seats where the pups can’t see and
ripripripriprip
It picks up the kid and leaves.
Between the three buckets there’s about half a tub of popcorn left. They dump it into one, and Olli scoops out some for Alek in the water cup after wiping it down.
A surprise waits for them in the lobby. All of Team Former Stray. Including Carrie.
“Mahim!” Hani and Iz squeal. They launch into his arms and bombard him with the plot of the movie.
Vicky and Carrie stare in the same direction. Olli just makes out the short form of the vampire slipping through the dense crowds.
“It’s not someone I know,” Carrie says at last.
“Can’t win ‘em all.” Olli addresses the pups. “We’re all using the restroom before we go home.”
Ed takes Alek, and Vicky goes with Olli. While Iz and Hani enter the stalls, Vicky pulls out her phone and opens the notes app.
How’s a leech get a kid?
Nice to know someone else has been thinking the same thing for the last ninety minutes. Vicky passes over her phone.
probably the same way a human gets a werewolf one. or vice versa
Vicky arches a brow.
they looked VERY similar
They don’t need to howl to know what the other is thinking. Fuck.
“Can I ride with Mahim?” Hani asks when they’re all back together. Then it’s a shuffle of getting the booster seat into Vicky’s car, and figuring out whose legs fold easiest. Carrie and Mahim wind up smooshed together in the back of Vicky’s car. Ed gets his usual spot in Vicky’s passenger seat.
Iz waves to them from the back of Olli’s. Mahim and Ed wave back.
Turn around, Iz. Vicky howls. Iz sticks her tongue out before sitting down and doing her seatbelt.
Olli frowns at the number of unread messages in the pack chat. Not the mention private texts and smaller groups, let alone the chats she’s not in….
“Alpha?” Nik pipes up. “What are you howling?”
“M’not howling, bud. Just thinking.”
“Oh. Thinking what?”
She opens the spoofed version of Spotify (affectionately named Spoofy) that believes she pays for premium. “I’m thinking how catchy those songs were.” The pups cheer when the movie’s soundtrack starts.
Farro howls. A bus leaves their territory. follow?follow?follow?
No. Meet back at the den.
Hi Dad!
Hi Hani.
As Olli waits her turn to leave the garage, Marco catches her eye. She manages a tight smile. He takes her hand and massages the knuckles below her claws to turn them back to nails. The gate arm lifts and it turns out to not be the best thing to do while she’s driving stick. But the comforting rub he gives her thigh does the job just as well.

Do werewolves not blink?
Hyun feels eyes on them all throughout the movie. Eyes and wrath. They forget to act. Shift, cross their limbs, blink. Even werewolves know better, right? Not in front of so many humans. Not in front of kids.
They decided against calling Iliya. Yes, he’s the strongest vampire they know. Outside whatever freaky feats Dominus is capable of. And yes, Iliya’s as good at keeping secrets as he claims to be. But this is Hyun’s son. Tracy and Marcel already know about him. The more vampires Hyun tells about Seong, the more likely it is a vampire Hyun doesn’t tell finds out.
Hyun waits after the movie ends. One of those five werewolf kids needs to pee. Right now.
Damn the big one for getting mediums.
Gradually the cinema empties. Maybe…the werewolves already left? Out the door on their side? It’s the lingering emotion Hyun’s experiencing. Surely. Against their better judgement, Hyun turns to look. Golden eyes glare down at them.
Hyun grabs Seong and books it.
More werewolves wait in the lobby. Hyun’s not sure what instinct tips them off, but something draws their eye to the group. The way they watch Hyun cinches it. And the one in the black tank top—
Black fur, lolling tongue.
Clutching Seong, Hyun runs for the exit. Of course the werewolf phoned for backup. They’re so stupid. Why didn’t they call Iliya? They’re here for their kids, they’re here for their kids, they’re here for their kids. Why is the lobby so damn bright? They burst into the night and the shadows at last converge over them.
What follows is the most agonizing eight minutes of Hyun’s life and death. Constantly checking the crowds and what they can see of the lobby. Unsure if shadows even work on werewolves. No taxis drive by, and they aren’t letting go of Seong for anything. Least of all finding out an Uber will be longer than the bus.
Finally it pulls around. Hyun drops the shadows so the driver knows to stop. Fuck the grey zone. Hyun isn’t stepping foot anywhere near here. They’ll worry about the ramifications of losing more of their domain later. Some other vampire can get themself mauled over a movie.
As the bus turns a corner, Hyun spots graffiti a delivery van covered on their way to the theater. Even more on the nose than their cup literally runnething over. A giant red paw print.
Shit.

Jade, you really posted the most heartbreaking chapter of all time and left us to our own devices to suffer like headless chickens, part 13 made cry like a bitch. It was like 3 am in my country when I started reading it and by the time I finished it was already 7 in the morning. My girl yn never can’t catch a breathe, everything is crumbling down for her, poor thing, she deserves better, she better never let that Hana bitch into her life again, I hate her, never let yn to explain herself and accused her of so unfair things. With this part I reaffirmed that only Minho and Yeonjun deserve her as their friend. Jun is just so lovely with her and careful and Min is assertive and even tho he’s a little tough he never makes her feel like her feelings aren’t important and talks to their with the cold truth but taking into account her fragile heart and Hyun, he’s just tha cherry on top the cake, he’s just perfect, he’s the greatest example of a man written by a woman [clearly].
The ending of this part left me speechless and my heart can’t take anymore angst, everything is just pain for my favorite pair of friends, lovers. When they eventually get together and hope for them to never suffer again and be happy for the rest of their lives 😡😭🥺 no more pain for them please, and not even for Jun, Chan, Binnie and Jisung cause they deserve all the happiness in the world. I really cried throughout all this chapter.
first of all, so sorry for getting around to this late, got swept up in university projects but i found time this week so i could be more active here 🫶🏻
oh myyy, you didn’t sleep? 😭 i always feel guilty when you stay up to read my stories, but i do the same while writing them so i cant argue much💀
everything you said about jun and minho encapsulates their character so well! i completely agree, he is exactly the kind of person she needs rn <3 i promise the angst will eventually lessen hah.
thank you for reading and for telling me your beautiful thoughts 🥺

Tumblr media
A single lamp lit your living room, soft glow casting harsh shadows across your face as you dropped your bag carelessly to the floor.
"Hyunjin? Kkami?" You called, the house feeling oddly cold and empty as your front door clicked shut behind you. You were used to coming home to your boyfriend lying on the sofa, curled around his dog and watching television. However tonight it was eerily quiet, the TV screen unsettlingly black, and it sent a chill up the nape of your neck. You felt as empty as the room did, cold hands balling up habitually as you let out a heavy sigh.
You began to trudge up the stairs at the lack of response, wondering if Hyunjin was just working late, but when a check of your phone showed no notifications you sighed again. Usually, he'd let you know. You began stripping your uncomfortable shirt from your torso, ready to dig through your drawers for the warmest, fluffiest pyjamas you could find and flop down in front of the TV. You wondered if you'd even be granted the release of a good cry, but you heavily doubted it.
You opened the bedroom door loudly, letting it clatter against the wall, which startled a sleeping figure in your bed awake. You let out a startled scream, reaching for your dressing table by the bed to find something to defend yourself with before you realised how familiar the silhouette's incredible girly screech was. Kkami also joined in, a little belatedly, letting out a sharp yowl as he skittered out of of the room and down the stairs.
"Hyune?" You flicked the light on, causing your boyfriend to flinch and squeeze his eyes shut, brows knitted together.
"Sorry, I didn't hear you come home. I must have fallen asleep," he grumbled, slowly opening his eyes groggily and running a hand through his long hair. "What time is it?"
"Like, six," you responded, eyes rolling as he let out an exaggerated wolf whistle when he realised you were shirtless. "You see me like this every day," you said drily, rummaging through your wardrobe to find something sufficiently comforting. He took in your strained voice and tense shoulders but didn't mention them, smirking when you looked back at him.
"And you get the same reaction every time!"
"You're not used to it by now?" you grinned, pulling one of his hoodies on in the end, enjoying the way his ears reddened as he watched. He seemed shyer over you in his hoodie than you topless, and you couldn't help but coo at him.
"Let me adore you, idiot," he mumbled, sitting up and leaning back against the headboard. You crossed the room to turn the light back off before pulling back the duvet, climbing into your side of the bed and snuggling up to your still blushing boyfriend. "Is everything okay?" he hummed against your head, pressing a chaste kiss to your hair as you buried your face in his neck.
"No," you responded quietly, a hand moving up to bunch itself in his loose t-shirt. He wrapped an arm around your shoulders as to pull you closer and placed his free hand atop of yours on his chest, nuzzling his cheek into your head as you laid peacefully on his shoulder. It felt like the first time you'd been able to properly breathe all day, but it didn't feel as relieving as you'd hoped it would. Your head swirled, thoughts overlapping so much you couldn't really single any out, a dull throb taking refuge in your temples as you sniffled. You wished you could cry.
"What's wrong?" His voice was still soft and quiet, hands running up and down your arms comfortingly. A comfortable silence settled between you for a moment as you tried to sift through your thoughts, hand trembling slightly under his. He interlaced his fingers with yours, giving your hand an encouraging squeeze, and you let out another heavy sigh.
"I don't know," you eventually whispered, hoping the desperation to know came through in your voice. He tightened his hold on your shoulders.
"Well, that's okay," he responded, pressing another kiss upon your temple. "It's okay not to know,"
"I'm just… beyond overwhelmed," your voice was small and you would have felt embarrassed if you had the energy, even though you knew Hyunjin was the least judgemental person you'd ever met. If anything he probably knew what you meant as he wrapped his other arm fully around you, pulling you flush against his side in a somewhat suffocating but incredibly secure feeling embrace.
"It's okay, baby, just relax," he whispered, breath fanning hot against your ear as he rocked you slightly. "You're completely safe with me, just feel whatever you're feeling, let it wash over you."
You didn't know what it was about those words that had hot tears pouring from your eyes faster than you could register their existence, but you finally felt yourself snap, having been pulled taut for way too long. He knew; he observed your thin lipped smiles as you held yourself together for the benefit of those around you, as you put the little energy you did have into the people you loved instead of yourself, as you came home day after day exhausted. He shushed you softly, fingers stroking your hair as you wet his t-shirt, strangled sobs lost in the material. "I know, baby, it's okay," he said, susurrations tickling the side of your face gently. "Just let it all out,"
You stayed like that for a while, crying until you physically couldn't anymore, fists balled into his shirt as he continued to rock you. His hands roamed from your hair to your back, constantly moving in any way he thought could be reassuring, mumbling praise into your hair. They fell on deaf ears, for the most part, as you tired yourself out and found yourself falling in and out sleep as you were reduced to sniffles. But another tear managed to escape and slip down your cheek as he told you how proud of you he truly felt, tilting your head up to make sure you were looking in his eyes as he spoke, gaze and voice soothingly genuine. He pressed a tentative kiss to your lips, laughing when he pulled away. "Mm, salty,"
"Ew," you couldn't help but chuckle as you went to wipe your face, but he beat you to the chase, thumbs delicate on your cheeks as he swiped them to the sides. "Sorry, I really lost control there,"
"You shouldn't apologise," he murmured, a large hand cupping your cheek warmly, all but forcing you to hold his gaze. Tender, loving, and as free of any judgement as ever. The way he cared for you lit flames under your heart, softening you under his touch. "You don't have to keep yourself together all the time, you know."
"It's just embarrassing," you muttered, trying to look down. He shook his head with a dramatic pout, which he then took as an excuse to kiss you briefly again.
"If anything, you're tough for letting yourself break down like that," he reassured you, a soft smile pulling up the corners of his mouth. "You don't always have to be strong. If anything, this is what I'm here for! My love isn't conditional on you being happy and 'pleasant' all the time," You couldn't protest, not when he was looking at you with stars in his eyes, as if you were indeed the most precious thing he'd ever laid his eyes upon. You were pretty sure you were, which made your heart flutter, staring back at him in complete quiet for a few seconds. He was so precious to you too, and you didn't think you'd ever stop feeling lucky to have him.
"Thank you," was all you could manage to respond, slumping back against his shoulder as the heavy fatigue that always followed a hearty cry began to seep into every single one of your limbs. You allowed yourself to rest your weight entirely on him, and as always he held you with no complaints.
"You should nap, that always makes me feel better," he grinned, pulling the duvet up to your neck and returning his long fingers to draw mindless doodles on your back. At one point you were sure he wrote I love you on your skin, making you smile weakly. "I'll take care of you tonight, you deserve to relax,"
"I'm lucky to have you, Jinnie," you hummed contentedly against the soft, tanned skin of his shoulder. You could have sworn his heart skipped a beat as you pressed your lips to the column of his neck so softly he could have missed it.
"You're not lucky, you deserve to be taken care of," he said, trying to regain his composure. He was amazed that after so long together you still managed to fluster him so much, but he knew he had the same effect on you too. Your breathing began to steady as you felt like your body was melting into his, heartbeats in sync as he allowed his eyes to slowly shut too. He wasn't sure if you heard him whispering, but he hoped you knew regardless. "You deserve the world, actually."

Dear @chinomiko,
When I first started playing My Candy Love on New Year’s Day in 2013, I was simply a 17 year old girl who was starting the second half of my Senior Year in High School. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life, and I certainly had no idea where I’d end up. At the time, I was just looking for a new anime style site to call my internet home after the destruction of TinierMe. In my search, I stumbled upon your site. I had never played a dating simulator before, and I fell for your art style, so I decided to give the site a shot. It didn’t take me long to bond with Nathaniel... He was a kind young man, who loved to read, and had a tortured home life... Even though the torture at home was different between him and me, I still felt like I had found a character I could recognize... Hell, I did the same thing with Ken... My bond with Nathaniel was just so much deeper... 
Then I graduated High School... I had no college prospects, and no idea what I even wanted to go to college for (still entirely don’t know).... My issues at home were getting worse, my love life was far from perfect, and living in Texas can be kind of ruthless on those who aren’t following the status quo... Even with going to the United Kingdom for 5 weeks, things still didn’t get better... And of course, the death of my childhood cat, Luna, in 2014 made things worse... So, I started focusing my free time on the game.... Working like crazy to get up to date with the episodes and bonus episodes, editing pics, and even writing fanfics... It became my escape from real life.
That did not change when I met the love of my real life in 2015. Despite entering into a relationship that is still going strong, I needed an escape from the hell my abuser was putting my family and me through, from the shitty job that I had gotten (and still have as of this letter), and from the hell that a really rare disease that had kicked on in my mother’s immune system had begun to put her and my family through. No amount of talking to people in my inner circle in real life helped... And there were times where it felt like the only emotions I knew were anger, sadness, and fear... It was during this time that my main MCL OC, Melody Alana Roster, came to life as what she is today... A strong, smart, beautiful, powerful, woman who goes through some of the worst hell imaginable and ends up living a life of peace with the man she loves (Nathaniel).... When my abuser’s time in my family’s and my life was ending and she was going “all out” on me? I thought of what Alana and Nathaniel would be doing during the newest episode of the game. My job putting me through mental and physical hell (it’s a very demanding job)? I daydreamed about Nathaniel and Alana. My mother’s disease progressing and making my mother put my grandmother and me through hell? I would go in my room and write a section of my story or edit a pic when I could. Hell, My Candy Love became so prominent in my life as an escape that when my abuser’s daughter came back at me (this time with my boyfriend’s ex friend), one of the things she’d say to me was “All you do is sit in your room and write fanfiction.”... I needed something and My Candy Love and it’s fandom was something I enjoyed that kept me in my room (where I felt safe)... To this day, my boyfriend understands why I’ve put so much time and effort into it... Why I’ve spent so much money on it (AP, Gold, commissioned pics, and items)... It was a light in what felt like a sea of darkness in my life...
Now, I’m going to clarify something here... What is written in the last paragraph took place over the course of 5 years... Of course, when I get to the point of 2020, its easy to guess some of the reasons why I continued to focus on My Candy Love... However, I have an added reason.... Not only did the pandemic bitch slap Texas mid March, but about a week before that happened, on March 10th, my mother succumbed to the secondary infection brought on by her disease... And I had to grieve... Of course, when the pandemic hit about week later, I was told by society that I didn’t have time to grieve... As I am a grocery store worker... Which, I still tried to use My Candy Love as a means of escape... It felt like life was going “Yeah, you’re free from your mom’s disease, now here’s one that YOU could bring home to your grandparents and kill them with simply by going to work!”... Because, I’m sure even you know how poorly America has handled the pandemic... And Texas is one of the worst states when it comes to that...
I’m not saying this to make you feel sorry for me... Not in the slightest... I’ve leaned on my family, friends, and boyfriend for everything, so it’s not JUST My Candy Love that got me through all of this... I’m telling you this because My Candy Love and what I’ve done for it has helped me with it all immensely. I thought I had lost my passion for writing while I was still in school, even though my favorite teacher was encouraging me to continue... And here I am still writing my MCL fanfiction... Not only am I still writing my fanfic, I’m getting it turned into 1 copy of an actual book for my shelf when I’m done... When I took photography in High School and wasn’t good at photoshop, I thought it would never be a skill I’d use... And, yet, over the course of my time with MCL, my photo editing skills have improved DRASTICALLY... Sure, I can’t really edit real life photos... But I can make stuff for MCL avatars and such...
I mean, if someone had told me 8 years ago that I’d be so invested in this game that I’d have a body pillow of my favorite love interest, a folder of commissioned art, a blog with over 1,300 followers, an Instagram with nearly 300 followers, a custom plushie of my favorite love interest, a Discord Server with around 200 people in it... That I’d be the Vice President/Club Photographer of the US version of a fan club... That I’d make friends throughout the world in the fandom... That my editing skills would become as good as they are now... That I’d be working on the biggest writing project I’ve EVER worked on... And that I’d cry at the last episode the same way I cried during the Season 8 finale of Scrubs, the series finale of iCarly, Matt Smith’s regeneration in Doctor Who and the ending of Deathly Hallows Part 2... I would have told them that they’re crazy....
Yet... Here I am... I’m turning 26 years old in July... And all of that has happened... In real life, I’m still dealing with the pandemic, I’ve celebrated my 5 year anniversary with my boyfriend, and I’m even preparing to move in with him... Yet, online, I’m still VERY invested in your game. I’m still a long way from finishing my OC’s story... I still want to edit pics for Nathaniel and Alana... And I’m going to be contemplating playing the new game for a while... I’ll still play events... As long as Nathaniel is around, I’ll be there to greet him with a smile... But I don’t know about your new project...
All that being said.... There’s one MAJOR thing I’d like to say to you, Chino....
THANK YOU!
Thank you for everything! For all your hard work in this story... It’s far from perfect, but I still enjoyed the majority of it... For creating Nathaniel, the holder of my 2D heart.... Seriously, thank you for creating him... I have anime crushes, but I don’t love them as deeply as I love Nath.... Thank you for your art! Its amazing! You’re in my top 3 favorite digital artists... The others being Drachea Rannak and Marco Albiero... Thank you for all the work you continue to put into the game that a lot of us have, kind of, grown up with.... I wasn’t really a kid when I started playing, but I do consider myself to have “grown up” with it... Thank you for all of the other love interests... For Castiel, Kentin, Armin, Lysander, Priya, Rayan and Hyun... They’re not the ones I love most, but they’re all interesting characters... Thank you for Candy... While she and Alana greatly differ from each other, Candy was the heroine in a story that gave birth to Alana... Candy is far from perfect, but I’m glad her story ended well.... Thank you for creating the game that brought this fandom into existence... While the fandom can be VERY toxic at times, there are a lot of amazing people in it... They have become some of my dearest friends...
While the entire My Candy Love team at Beemoov deserves my gratitude... I feel like you are the most deserving of it... Because, without you, My Candy Love would not exist.
I look forward to seeing My Candy Love’s future... Either from the sidelines, or from the middle of it... I will see it’s future...
Thank you ChiNoMiko.
All my love and respect,
Melody Alana Roster

Clean Freak Idol BF taeyong — Soloist [fem] reader
Everybody knows the tea between 10th floor and 5th floor.
Then there's Taeyong.
"We are here because we want to talk about the most awaited collaboration of the most iconic ship in the kpop industry, before we talk about your new mini album 'NO HISTORY' let me ask you guys a question first. The whole world knew you two used to date, isn't it awkward to work with each other?"
Man, what is this girl saying?
Taeyong and I stared at each other and laughed.
"Hahahahaha what are you guys laughing about? hahahaha"
The audacity to ask us.
Before inviting guests into your show, please dig some information about them.
"No hahaha sorry it's just so funny. Such a ridiculous question."
Taeyong stopped you for saying anything blunt, you have this image that you're straightforward and blunt, and to others they see it as rude.
You're not doing it for clout or to be savage wannabe, that's just who you are.
"No, we didn't broke up, we just lived apart. We moved out of our dorms and shared an apartment. But we didn't take it well so we moved back in."
Really taeyong? We didn't BROKE UP? interesting..
"Why? What didn't work out for the two of you?"
Oh let me tell you the story.
"Taeyong what are you doing? Stop covering your face! smile!"
"Eh-Andwae! I just woke up!"
What is he talking about?
Bare faced Taeyong is art.
Everyone who gets to see him fresh out of bed is so blessed, this would add 10,000,000+ on your lifespan.
"Oppa you stopped eating, Isn't the dish good?"
"Yes it's good! You should try that side dish too! I was just thinking about something."
Here we go again.
Taeyong is zoning out lately, I thought he's worrying about the NCT comeback, yearbook and all but turns out he isn't.
"What is it? Tell me hmm?"
"I was thinking, since we're already dating for 5 years why won't we live together already? I mean we're already in the right age and all."
Hmm I haven't thought about that.
"Why? Aren't you happy here with the members? And besides you have the whole room to yourself it's just like having your own house. Why need one?"
"Of course I'm happy. We grew up together and I treat them as biological brothers.. it's not about them. I want to start a life with you.. but if you don't want to then fine with me.."
"What do you mean I don't want to? I would love to move in with you. But heads up honey I'm a living mess. It will drive you nuts clean freak."
Everyone knows he's a clean freak. Aesthetic, spotless, and organized. He can't stand dirt. He's the type of guy who always bathe unlike jungwoo, the guy who would always wear gloves when handling food and dishes unlike jaehyun and yuta who uhh never you know what,he has sheets on his bed (and it's white as fuck no creases and lints jaehyun has been slapped hard),the guy who gets cranky when his clothes are not handled right so he ends up doing laundry everyday, he's also the guy who praises febreeze. Febreeze is his life,addiction,religion and many more.
Yes he loves febreeze more than me.
2 years went by like a bliss. Everything's good.
Actually too good.
We spent happy days together loving each other more as time passes by until he can't take it all anymore.
He knelt to the ground and pulled a ring and said 
"Marry me y/n."
"T-taeyong.."
"I know I know.. but please hear me out. y/n we spent 7 years together full of love,laughs,and cries. I know you're finally going to have your debut next week and can't be seen in a relationship for like 2 years, but I can't take it anymore I don't want to lose you..this industry is fucked up y/n.Just please promise me you'll hold on to me.. to us.."
"Of course. You're my rod in this dark world without you I'll be lost. I'll forever hold on you. But you sure this isn't an engagement ring?"
"*sighs; you know it's not. I really want to but I already know the answer after I proposed for you like 3 times already. You're not yet ready.. but I'll wait."
"I'm sorry taeyong–"
"No don't say sorry I understand"
You were both in the right age but still young to marry.. and both of your careers are not helping.
NCT PROJECT again. You're happy for Taeyong, he really likes it whenever the whole 23 of them perform together.
But also pitied him.
"What is wrong with you two?! I expected better than this. You better composed some good ones or I'll give back the job to  composers."
"No sir, I really want to participate again in composing I can give you a better one—"
"Then do it. I want it done by next week. I only let you boys play composer and lyricist again because the crowd wants to. You get me Johnny? Taeyong?"
It's the 6th time this week. You always pass by the room because it's in the same way of the recording studio. He was getting yelled at again.
And again.
And again. 
Taeyong's been stressed for the whole 2months. Johnny and he were told they could participate in producing the album.
At last they can express themselves.
Johnny really wants to write songs but never given the opportunity to. So Johnny and he are working hard. Knowing SM they're controlling as ever this means it's a one and only lifetime opportunity. 
His dog died. His best friend and buddy.
The warm condolences of his fans comforted him. He's thankful to have them.
Y/n's first ever single is coming out. You have been pretty busy too. Recordings, photoshoots,MV filming etc. And SM and fans are breathing down your neck everytime you move.
Some anti spread fake rumors about you. Usually you'll ignore it but right now is different. Being new to this industry brought pressure to you and you don't know what to do but just cry..
You saw a cat. You always love cats, they calm you down. It gives comfort to you. You decided to bring it home to your shared space with taeyong.
You did him a favor and put a little spice in his composition then while drinking your hot chocolate you were called by your mother leaving the cat,the chocolate and the house you hurried to the hospital.
Stressed ate taeyong. He's frustrated at the moment he wants to shout and cry his heart out.
The 8th song they made just got rejected. again.
It's the last draw and they can't participate in writing on the album anymore. Mark, xiaojun and taeil got injured while practicing,the new choreographer is a dick. A stubborn stylist doesn't follow anyone's instruction causing jaehyun to be called out because of his hair and the management wants them to do nothing. Some anti is making fun of his dog's death and a sasaeng is following him right now.
The house is where he rests,it's his favorite place .
But now it isn't.
The house is a fucking mess.
Dishes on sink
Furs on sofas and floor
Chocolate drink spilled on the carpeted floor of his work space.
The computer is on
Somebody touched his music
The air smelled like a stray dog or cat
Shits on his pile of clothes and a cat is napping on the end of the bed.
Lee. Taeyong. Mad.
He's angry asf.
"Oh hey taeyong you are home?? How was your da-"
"What is that?"
"A cat?"
"and that?"
"My drink.."
"That?"
"Dishe–okay what is your point?"
"Nothing.  Just you being a pig."
"Wh-what?.."
"You're disgusting. Be ashamed of yourself y/n can't believe a woman doesn't know how to take care of a house."
"What's wrong with you?! That's so sexist!"
"What's wrong with me?! Your stupid new cat shitted on my clothes! The house is shit! Everything's shit! Even you! You messed up my song!"
"Taeyong calm down there was an emergency and about your song i-"
"shut up y/n! I'm tired! The last thing I want to see is a dumpsite! I have to keep up shits at work and I have to keep up with your everyday shits too?! I'm so sick! It looks like the house isn't the only one that needs cleaning. My life too.. I can't believe I put up with a garab6e like you. You should've been taken out a long time ago—"
"The only shit here is you."
You took your new cat and went.
Your grandmother died. That's the emergency.
It's heartbreaking and with taeyong earlier the last hanging piece of your heart shattered completely.
You went back to your own place, you ask hae-un a friend of yours who's a model under the same entertainment to get all your stuff in your house. 
She came back with seong-hyun his boyfriend carrying boxes and bags.
"Y/n.. take a break..I'm here for you."
"He wants to talk to you y/n. he said he was—"
"SEONG-HYUN!STOP!"
"okay.. I understand. Everything will be fine y/n hae-un and I will never leave you. We'll get through this together just like the old days.."
"Thank-you.."
Hae-un take care of your things at work. You decided to wake up from the slump and change labels,made depression your motivation, you skyrocketed. Soon after many articles about you were made.
“솔로이스트 Y/N L/N은 왜 SM 엔터테인먼트를 떠났을까?”
(Why did Soloist Y/N L/N leave SM entertainment?)

(P-NATION's Solo Queen Y/N L/N, will debut as an Actress in a Medical romance Kdrama "The touch of you" with NCT Kim Doyoung and Lucas Wong)
Tumblr media
You have so many projects going on. Actually you were not ready for this. At SM you’re only an underrated singer who mostly writes others songs instead of doing yours. What can you do? It’s the higher ups orders.
Haeun recommended PNATION this is where you really felt like you’re an artist and family rather. Of Course you love your sunbaes and colleagues. It's just that SM restricts everyone and they try to shape them into KPOP robots that everyone will buy. 
You love all of your projects well..except one.
"P-NATION의 솔로퀸 Y/N L/N이 전 남자친구 NCT 이태용과 함께 새 미니 앨범 'NO History'를 발매한다!"
(P-NATION's Solo Queen Y/N L/N will release her new album "NO HISTORY" with ex-boyfriend NCT Lee Taeyong!)
Tumblr media
Oh great…
You haven't 
Communicated with Taeyong since you left the house.
You actually avoided him.
Taeyong would straight up walk to you when on stage such as Music Bank, Inkigayo, Mama etc. But you always find a way to avoid the guy.
The fans ship you guys after finding out your 7year relationship with him. You were chill with it but you always reminded your fans that you're not together anymore theyy should snap back to reality.
Y/N doesn't like the reality now.
His ex boyfriend is in front of him doing arrangements eating Sweet Potato cubes from Starbucks and guess what.
He's formal and silent asf.
Like you guys didn't date and almost got married.
There were 5 songs in the Mini Album
Ethereal
Seoulite
Letters on the floor
Sunset 
DOUCHEBAG
The title track is Ethereal. You have to dance to that sexy love hoe song. Produced and composed by yours truly.
You just sat on your swivel chair discussing with the other producer while Taeyong wrinkles his forehead seeing the album content.
Track 6. "DOUCHEBAG"
Who The fuck would name their song douchebag?
Taeyong is confused but at the same time a little hope and warm blooms at his heart. Thinking DOUCHEBAG is all about him. Little did he know it's a diss track about MNET.
Don't worry taeyong douchebag may not be about you but most of the songs are.
He's keeping his distance letting you adjust to him..but that doesn't look like it to Y/N.
The audacity of this guy to ignore me. Bitch.
It's noon and you haven't eaten breakfast yet. Taeyong comes to your side to invite you to lunch until he is cut off by a high pitch squeal of yours.
" y/n ssi—"
"DOIEEEEEEEEEEEEE~"
"Hahahahahah calm down, you miss me that much?"
"YEAH!"
It's Doyoung.
He knows you have a few modeling projects with doyoung and an ongoing drama but he didn't know you two were this close.
You smooch your face on doyoung's face and smile brightly at him.
Ah he hates it.
"Hahahahahah enough y/n I'm here for hyung. Hyung do you want to go grab lunch?"
"Ani. Doyoung-ah i’m not hungry. Comeback next time."
"I'll come with you oppa."
“YAH!”
Taeyong stood up.
Oppa was the last straw for him. You don’t call anyone oppa.
Let alone smooch your face to someone’s chest.
You’re that brat girl who only warms up at him. 
Only him.
Doyoung and Y/N were surprised by Taeyong’s sudden actions.
Why is he angry? Did you guys do something wrong?
“Taeyong-ssi, gwaenchana? Is there something wrong?”
Taeyong suddenly realized what he did. So foolish of him. Now he looks like an ex-boyfriend who’s jealous of his ex’s friend.
He isn’t like that. He just wants closure with you.
We’ll look into that later.
“‘Y-YAH! What are you guys doing there? I thought we were going to eat?’ that’s what i’m trying to say.”
“Ahhhh~”
You and Doyoung just nodded, you thought you guys did something wrong to upset him hahaha.
Taeyong is literally speaking in small fonts as he says his excuse. As stupid as it sounds. You two believed him. Thank god phew.
You survived your 1 month with Taeyong. And for guys who dated for 7 years you two were awkward as fuck. It’s like the first time all over again. Calling each other with Honorifics and bowing whenever you two meet at the hallways, Just keeping it civil. But you gotta admit it to yourself, you start to warm up again to Taeyong these past few weeks. Dyed his hair black, and has that boyfriend material aura again.
YOU ARE A HUGE SIMP Y/N L/N.
Taeyong is planning something to win you back . He just woke up and realized ‘What if I show her again why she fell for me in the first place?’
He’s doing simple things to get close to you again. Your heart beats fast whenever he comes close.
“Jduigywfwygf Lee Taeyong i swear to god you-”
“I am what?
“You Scared me! Stop doing that! Why are you even here? I won’t record today. I'm going to learn the choreo.”
“Me too.”
“What?”
“What?”
Our Choreographer came and hell he was teaching us some sexy ass moves. I didn’t even know Taeyong was supposed to dance with me too. I suddenly have  flashbacks to Hyuna unnie and E’dawn sunbae’s Cage Dance Performance.
“One, Two, Step, Three, Step, Four”
“Y/N what are you doing? You missed the step.”
“I did?”
“Yes, It’s the 5th time already. Taeyong teach her. I’m going to take a break”
Y/N is very tense. He felt it. Especially whenever you two grind and to that one part where you kneel in front of him.
“You’re stiff and tense right now. How about you take a break?”
“Omg! Finally!”
“You left your body while we're dancing. Something wrong?”
“Nah I just feel Awkward and all. Knowing our history and everything.”
“Why would you?”
“It’s just you know uhmm.. I don’t know how to explain but you get what I mean.”
“Then Let’s be friends again! So it wouldn’t be awkward.”
He’s just waiting for you to open the topic. That’s all it takes to get Taeyong creep back to your heart. You don’t know if befriending your ex is good or what but it’s nice to have him back. It’s like normal. The teasings, hugs, and laughter are back. It’s like when you two were still together minus the label of course.
Since you two were close again why not invite him to your shoot? Besides Doyoung and Winwin are there.
Taeyong internally passed out when you invited him. He’s so happy for you. The dream of you being an actor never left his mind. Now he gets to see it with front-viewed seats, until that scene comes up.
Myeorin’s starts to tear up. He run after Haju and  hugged him behind. “H-haju you don’t have to..” 
The man just kept a blank face but you can see he’s having a hard time letting go.
“Go. I want you to be happy. You love him Myeorin”
“H-haju no! I love you!”
“You know you don’t. You're just stuck in our past memories.”
Haju breaks free from Myeorin’s hug, he cups her face and their foreheads touch each other while sobbing.
“I still want to live in that past. With you haju.”
He stared into Myeorin’s eyes and landed a soft peck at her temple.
“‘The beautiful journey of today can only begin when we learn to let go of yesterday.’ The person who taught me doesn't apply it to herself. Pabo. Go, you have  no time left i heard he’s leaving”
Myeorin realizes Haju’s words and runs to chase the one  that she truly loves. “Do Hyejeong you bitch you didn’t tell me you’re leaving”
The Set changes and moves to a different venue.
Myeorin stands outside of Hyejeong’s penthouse sobbing. He erratically rang the bell 30th time already and no one’s answering. 
A Janitor saw Myeorin and confronted her.
“Miss Myeorin! What are you doing there?”
“Ahjussi *sniffs* have you seen Hyejong?”
“Ah! sir Hyejong?  He just left a while ago carrying his personal belongings. Why?”
Myeorin just stared at Mr.Kang and suddenly wailed.
“Ah-Uh M-miss did I do something wrong?”
Myeorin just missed Hyejeong. Knowing him  he wouldn’t come back ever again.
“What are you crying at you brat? You’re causing a scene in my property.”
“Hye-Hyejong!” Upon hearing that cold voice she stood up and faced Hyejeong with swollen, teary eyes, and a dripping nose.
“Sir Hyejong I promised I didn’t make her cry! She just suddenly weeps when I said-”
“It’s okay Mr. Kang I know. No need to clean here anymore. you can rest now. And you brat go inside.”
The two of them went inside. Hyejeong comfortably sat on his aesthetically white L-shaped sofa in front of his Floor to ceiling big windows. While Myeorin stands there dumbfounded.
“I-I thought you’re leaving…”
“Well yeah I am until Professor Shin said I have to cover his surgery tomorrow because his wife is in labor.”
“So you’re not leaving anymore?”
“I still am.”
Confused about Hyejeongs statement, creases were formed at her temples. She extended both of her hands trying to block the huge door. The lad just lowkey snickered at her actions.
“What do you mean?! No! nuh uh you won’t leave this place over my dead body.”
“”Why Won’t I leave?”
“Because I love you.”
Hyejong suddenly stopped sipping his drink and just stared at her with those big bunny-like eyes.
“What?”
“Do Hyejong Saranghae.”
He rose from the chair and met her body.
“You lose.”
“I don't careabout the bet anymoret. I love you.”
Hyejeong's mind left the earth. His lips unconsciously guided him to  Myeorin’s plump, soft, pinkish lips. It tasted like pure heaven.
“CUT!”
Taeyong got startled at the director’s cue. No thoughts, mind empty, just watching his love of his life kissing his best friend. He knew it’s part of their work and he’s proud of the both of them  but a part of him just aches knowing you’re single and doyoung single, you might fall for his kisses that used to be his.
“Y/N! Focus!”
“You okay?”
“Yeah just out of character.”
Y/N didn’t know the kissing scene and suggestive scenes are the ones that they'll be filming today. It’s supposed to be Next week! Now she felt odd knowing Taeyong’s here. She turned to Taeyong’s space, seeing him sending her a death glare while eating sweet potato chews.
“KISSING SCENE TAKE 2”
“KISSING SCENE TAKE 3”
“TAKE 6”
“TAKE 12”
The number of takes irked taeyong. Was he invited here just to suffer? Finally you guys nailed the scene. He thought it’s over yet there’s more to come.
Myeorin and Hyejeong were intoxicated with each other. A peck on the lips results in a very deep passionate one. Hyejong carried her in his arms, not letting go of her tasty lips together and they traveled towards the bedroom.
Taeyong stormed off the set. Right in front of my Sweet potato chews he said.
“Taeyong! Where are you going?”
“Don’t follow me. I’ll go home now.”
“What? why? I brought you here. I thought we were going to have ice cream after this?
“EAT ICE CREAM WITH ‘HYEJONG’ INSTEAD hmp.”
He mimicked her voice. Taeyong tried to look angry. But in Y/N’s eyes he’s a baby pouting.
“H-Hyejong? Who is that?”
“Duh? Doyoung?”
“Why would i eat ice cream with him?”
“Yeah right. Why would you guys eat ice cream if you two can just suck each other’s faces off.”
“OMG HAHAHAHAHA ARE YOU JEALOUS?”
“No! Why would I?”
“Hmm..”
“Fine I am! You said today’s going to be fun. Yeah fun for you you kissed doyoung 17 times.”
You grinned like a mad man  at his accusation even though you’re guilty of it. It’s just so cute you can’t help but to..
 “Why would you do that?! You kissed another guy then you kiss me? Don’t give me false hope Y/N.”
“Okay.. I won’t kiss you anymore. You said it yourself.”
“No, I didn’t mean it like that! It’s just that it’s giving me false hope..”
“About what?”
“About you. About us being together again. So don’t kiss me i you don’t mean i-”
Yeah you kissed your ex. He needs to shut up.
“Do you still love me?
“Of course. I have always been Taeyong.”
Cut the chase and hide and seek. You  won’t deny your feelings anymore. The feeling of missing him, his warmth, and love. You won’t deny it all again.
You two left the Area hand in hand, talking while having a little stroll.
“Hey I have a question?”
“What is it?
“Did you change your perfume?”
“Yeah. It’s Yves Saint Laurent’s  Black Opium”
“I like the old one better.”
“What smell do you love the most? Me or Febreeze? ”
“Definitely Febreeze.”
The sound of your laughs and voices faints as you two went back to the set
"If you were to pick what is your favorite song in this album? And What part of it makes you like it?"
The Interviewer  asks.
You picked up your mic and said
 “Ethereal. I like the pre chorus part the
 i can't wait to see him next
and witness his ethereal glow
he is my darling
and nothing or no one
could ever come between
bonded for life
he is my king. 
It just reminded me of someone. Someone I missed..” The crowd goes wild, they're squealing and most of them are screaming Lee Taeyong!
Taeyong goes shy.. He can’t believe you wrote him that song when he asked you who’s your inspiration you just said ‘my grandma why?’ now he knows.
He Throws you a ‘you’re hiding it from me’ look while you just replied a simple wink.
“Okay, Let’s get back to the unanswered question.. What didn't work out for the two of you?”
You two stared at each other's eyes knowing the answer.
Once again you grabbed your mic and said
“Let’s just say he’s a major clean freak.”

14, 18 and 19 ! And bonus 21 with the same question back at ya - what are YOUR rare pairs???
AHH TY
14. Name a fandom, ship, or character that you love that others would send you hate mail for liking.
OH MAN... I know I have some but what are they hmmm. (Part of me is just like ‘het ships in fandoms where gay ships are more popular’ but that’s really not true tbh, I just get anxious about having my Queer Card revoked hah. I like a lot of het/ m/f ships, I'm sorry friends)
OH I KNOW. TogaFuka (/ToFu). Togami Byakuya and Fukawa Toko from Dangan Ronpa. The canon relationship between them is pretty weird, and I see where people are coming from when they say that the ship would be abusive. It gets a lot of hate. But: a) it’s possible to enjoy unhealthy ships without endorsing them. You can use fiction to explore Bad Things for their narrative interest without ever wanting them to be real. b) imo, claiming the ship would Definitely be abusive discounts a lot of the complexities of the characters, and the changes they go through, in a very dark and strange setting! and c) I Am Having Fun, Go Away
18. Characters you want to wrap in a blanket and tell them they’re going to be okay?
God, there are so many characters I feel this way about hah,,,
Um. Okay the first to spring to mind is Deku? And a lot of the BNHA kids actually? Because, you know, they’re kids. (Actually most kid protags inspire this feeling in me because they’re so Young and I just want to Protect...)
Uhhh what else have I been into lately. OH MAN Hyun-soo from Sweet Home, my precious boy, he deserves a hug and a blanket so bad. I love him so much, god almighty, you should have seen me just openly weeping through the back half of that series. God I hope we get another season.
Yeah Hyun-soo is a really good answer for that one actually.
19. If you could be a part of any story, which story would you want to tag along in?
HMMM okay well there are many stories with worlds I love, but let's also take into account the fact that I am Anxious and a Coward and wouldn't last long in many of them.
That said: Dinotopia. hands down. idyllic, near-utopian society where humans live in total peace with dinosaurs? fuck yes. have you seen the artwork for those books. everything is so gorgeous and lush and wonderful.
21. YES THANK YOU, RAREPAIRS, [PTERODACTYL SCREECH]
hahahahaha I have. a variety of these :]]]]]] ranging from 'probably popular but not dominant in major fandom spaces bc the ship is het and fandom spaces are overwhelmingly Not' to 'not very common' to 'I literally made this up based on nothing at all and for all we know I might be the only person who ships this even the least bit.' I will try to just give you some that have been relevant to me in the last year or so? But I could go on waaaaay too long.
I get some recognition at this point in the BNHA fandom for being a good IidaMomo writer where there are relatively few of us. a rarepair but not unfounded, I guess. also in BNHA there's ShinsoKendo, which I fell in love with in someone else's fic but there are very few fics for, and Satoyama, which I came up with independently but have found a few other people shipping. annnnnd there's Pony/Jurota, which I made up for a throwaway line of idle gossip in a fic I never finished, but then I thought about it and realised it would be adorable and now I Truly Ship It for no reason at all.
The ship that's been occupying my brain (and my word documents) for several days now is Tulip/Jesse from Infinity Train, a ship which I have dubbed Olsay since as far as I can tell no one else has ever really said anything about it. I'm working on a few possible fics for it and I like my ideas a lot but the writing itself is still very much a work in progress lol.
I go really hard for Hara/Terasaka in Assassination Classroom, and have written loads about them, though not much of it is finished. I have found I think one? other fic that ships them. It's essentially based on nothing but background interactions that I personally happen to enjoy.
My Blue Exorcist ships are rare, it seems. I like Yukio/Shiemi and Bon/Izumo a lot. (Sorry Rin.) Also Shima/Paku which I don't think anyone else cares about lmao, and Paku's kind of a minor character anyway, but still.
I just recently finished a Soul Eater fic and while I didn't think Kid/Crona was that rare, several readers told me they'd never encountered it before, so I guess it's rare-ish. Also Free/Eruka, which simply doesn't get the attention it deserves.
...OKAY JUST ONE MORE and here's a real and actual 'based on nothing but I've written and never published thousands and thousands of words for it since I thought of it' ship: Heris Ardebit and Remi Puguna in Promare. They literally don't even interact in the film. I just started thinking about how I could imagine their characters interacting and then I got sucked in and it owns me forever. Obviously Galo/Lio is the star ship of that film but Remi/Heris manages to take over my brain every time I watch it.
SHUTTING UP NOW THANKS I LOVE YOU

Mystic Messenger | This Feels Like Falling in Love
AO3 | FF.net
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: Zen | Ryu Hyun/Main Character (Named)
Warning: N/A
Word Count: 2, 384
Summary: "That fateful night when she knew… she loved him too."
Set after Zen's good end and after end. An exploration of one of the many nights in Zen and Lux's time as a couple. Lux decides that she sleeps better with Zen than without him.
This Feels Like Falling in Love
“Honey?”
There's a knock on the door. Lux looks up from the sink as it opens and Zen peeks in. The hesitant expression on his face melts into happiness as their eyes meet in the mirror. He beams at her and she smiles back, turning the faucet off and wiping her hands. After showering she tends to resemble a drowned rat... but somehow Zen still looks at her like she's the most beautiful girl in the world.
"Hello, handsome," she greets.
Zen opens the door fully, releasing the steam. As she removes the towel and readies the hairdryer, she catches him watching her. Before long, his arms slip around her waist, pulling her to his solid body. With a happy hum, he kisses the side of her neck and squeezes gently. Chuckling shyly, she plugs the appliance in.
“You smell really good,” he sighs, perching his chin on her shoulder. “Almost done?”
"Yeah," she replies. "I just need to dry my hair."
"Do you need help with anything?"
"Hmm..."
She contemplates his question, looking in the mirror and ruffling her damp hair. He watches her every move, garnet eyes focused in the same way they do when he reviews monitors and dailies. When their eyes meet he grins. Her heart skips a beat at his brilliant, handsome face. Unable to help herself, she turns to him and kisses his temple, hugging his arms when he squeezes her waist again. His needy affection inspires her. Returning his smile, she gestures at the hairdryer.
“Then, do you mind helping me?” she says. “With my hair?”
“I’d love to!”
After kissing her shoulder, he guides her to sit on the tub. Then, he walks out of the bathroom, returning seconds later with a round brush in hand. He stands behind her and soon she hears the loud whirring of the hairdryer. A blast of hot air hits her, warming her cooling body. She can't see what he's doing, but she feels him dividing her hair into sections. Then, he runs the hairdryer along each lock, using the brush to detangle. Lux sighs as her muscles relax; she gives into Zen's tender touch as he dries her hair. It's like being in a salon, except he's extra careful and gentle with her. She can tell he doesn't want to hurt her... even with something expected like hair pulling or stubborn tangles.
"Are you going to sleep after this?" he says.
"I want to, yeah..."
As if to prove it a yawn overcomes her as she sinks further into warm comfort. The lids of her eyes grow heavy as Zen continues to spoil her. With him, she's always so relaxed. There's unwavering security in his presence that she never senses the need to be on guard. Around him, she can be vulnerable like this... because he'll treat her kindly. Because he'll treat her with so much love. It makes her want to be greedy; she wants more... more of his time and affections. The corners of her lips tug up in inspiration. She looks up at him with a tempting smile.
"Come to bed with me?"
Zen pauses as desire flit across his face.
"I want to," he says, "I really do, but..."
Her smile turns understanding as he trails off.
"You still have work to do," she says.
"I'm sorry, princess."
"It's okay."
Zen leans down and she receives his apologetic kiss. She raises her hand to his cheek, stroking gently as he runs the tip of his tongue across the seam of her mouth. A warm feeling spreads within her, feeling like an internal hug. Then, she picks up the absence of noise. When Zen pulls away and she catches her breath, she realises that the hairdryer is off. After another kiss to her forehead, he tidies up.
"I'm done," he says with a smile.
With his help, she stands up. She looks into the mirror and gasps at how gorgeous her hair looks. It's shiny and sleek. His technique brought significant volume to her usually flat hair. Hesitantly, she touches it, afraid of ruining the masterpiece.
"Hyun...!"
"Oh, my darling said my name!"
At his giddy reply, she meets his eyes in the mirror, returning his happy grin. The absolute joy he exudes makes him radiant. He's sparkling, brighter than the lights... brighter than anything in the world. Biting her lips, she smiles to herself as she continues to watch him. Her cheeks redden at his brilliance; he's like her own personal sun.
"Did I do something right?" he teases, hugging her to him again.
"You did something amazing," she says. "You are incredible."
"Well, the stylists taught me... but it's nothing compared to what they do."
He hides his face in her neck and she giggles at the sight of his bright red ears. People who say he’s self-absorbed don’t know him. Those who say he’s narcissistic don’t bother to look deep within him. It’s tragic… how the world is missing out on this… this cute side of him. No one knows that the smallest compliments still fluster him. That he’s so humble, recognising the skills of others.
Oh well.
More for her.
She takes his hand and leads him out of the bathroom.
“I kind of feel like I shouldn’t be sleeping with this hair,” she jokes.
Once in the bedroom he takes the lead and helps her to bed.
“What do you mean?” he says with a confused frown.
Giggling, she does a little dance and whips her hair back and forth.
“Shouldn’t I go out and show it off?”
Zen bursts out laughing at her little display. After pulling the covers up her legs he leans down and captures her lips properly. They share chuckles between kisses as a playful mood settles over them. Before long they pull away from each other. With an amused smile, he taps her nose as she reclines against the pillows.
"You're too cute for your own good," he says.
She crinkles the appendage, earning another bout of laughter.
"And so beautiful," he continues, brushing strands of hair away from her face. "Too beautiful. Actually, you're so gorgeous that I'm scared you'll cause some heart attacks if you go out now."
She blushes at his compliment. "Do I... give you heart attacks?"
"Every day," he sighs. "I'm surprised I'm not dead yet."
"Zen!"
"It's true."
"Well, you give me heart attacks too," she giggles.
He cups her cheek and brushes his thumb against her lips. Then he winks at her.
"Why do you think I kiss you all the time?"
"For... resuscitation?"
"Exactly."
"Then... you better kiss me again."
That's all the permission Zen needs. He hovers over her as he kisses her again. This time he's more persistent, bolder. Lux opens her mouth to him, whimpering as his tongue sweeps inside to taste her. Her hands fist around his shirt as she holds on to him. Meanwhile, he cups the back of her head and keeps her in place. The need to breathe separated them, but Zen doesn't stop. She bites her tingling lips as he rains kisses down her jaw and throat.
"S-sure you don't want to come to bed now?" she says, breathless.
Zen groans with regret. "I really need to work on this script."
"Okay," she says after a disappointed sigh.
He raises his head and her breath hitches at the sight of him—flushed with kiss-swollen lips. The pupils of his eyes are wide with desire for her. But the smile he gives her is tender. She returns it, closing her eyes as he presses a tender kiss on her forehead.
"Sleep, babe," he says. "You have work tomorrow too."
"All right."
"I won't be long," he promises. "I'll turn in soon."
"Okay..."
"Good night, darling."
After another kiss he extricates himself. Lux watches him walk away and after one last smile he turns off the lights. He pulls the door, but leaves it ajar for her. She finds comfort in that sliver of light. Unlike the darkness of a closed door, that sliver of light means he's not far away. She can still go to him. He's still available. He'll still welcome her.
Lux turns, a little sad at the emptiness of his side of the bed. It reminds her of that night after he rescued her from that would-be kidnapper. The moment she stepped into his apartment he gave her his bedroom and took residence on the couch. He was so careful with her. He always gave her space and made it clear that he didn't want to take advantage of her vulnerability. He stayed resolute even after her many assurances. She had to concede that he had a point; certain impulsive things tend to happen out of trauma. It was no good to push things towards the point of regret.
So, she followed his lead.
But... it didn't soothe her loneliness... or save her from her fear.
Lux sighs and tries to go to sleep, but now that she remembers the past restlessness settles in her body. She tosses and turns for a few minutes, trying to find the best position to sleep. How frustrating. Minutes ago she all but nodded off. Now attempting to do so makes her feel all kinds of wrong. After one last attempt, she sits up with a huff. She combs through her hair with regret... she's ruined Zen's masterpiece by now. Glancing at the door, she makes a swift decision. She throws the covers back and pads out of the room.
Arriving in the living room, she smiles at the sight that greets her. Zen sits on the couch, surrounded by open books. His foot taps in beat with the music flowing from the speakers. After careful listening, she recognises it as the songs he needs to learn for his next production. His eyes are focused again as he reads the script before him. Every few seconds he takes the pen tucked behind his ear and writes some notes on the pages. Sometimes, he consults the books before him. The glistening mask on his face somehow tops the whole picture. Now, he looks like the perfect image of a relaxed, yet professional actor.
Sighing, he sets the script aside before removing the mask. That's when he notices her standing just out of the hallway. Though the mask covers his face she catches concern replacing his surprise. He disposes of the mask and beckons her over. Like a child who doesn't want to get in trouble, she approaches with caution.
"What's wrong, honey?" he says, patting the residue into his skin.
Lux winces. "I don't want to bother you."
"Never. What's up?"
"I can't sleep without you."
As soon as the words leave her lips her cheeks redden. They burn hotter when she sees Zen's stunned expression. That was a little too honest. Also, she said that a little too quickly. Looking around she realises that he is as busy as he says. Isn't it selfish of her to go to him for comfort when he also has his own things to take care of?
"I mean... all my sleepiness went away," she corrects. Then she feigns a wide yawn, complete with the teary eyes. "I just wanted to see what you're up to and... well... I'm sleepy now so I'll go back to bed."
She turns from him, embarrassed.
"Good night—"
“Come here, babe.”
Zen talks before Lux leaves the room. She faces him again, eyes widening when she sees what he’s doing. One by one he closes the study materials and places them in a neat stack on the coffee table. Then, he opens his arms to her. A kind smile now replaces his stunned expression, making her heart skip a beat.
"I don't want to bother you," she repeats.
He winks. "Honestly, after leaving you I couldn't concentrate."
Her cheeks heat up more at his honesty. She doesn't want to stand in the way of his productivity... but when he opens his arms wider and waves her over she can no longer resist. She skips to him, nearly barrelling into his arms in her haste. After some manoeuvring, she's snuggled against him and the back of the couch. They share laughter as she plucks the pen from his ear and placed it somewhere that's easier to access. He wraps his arm around her shoulders, gently petting her hair. She lays her head on his shoulder. Then, she carefully pulls his hair out of hiding, curling her fingers around the silky locks. With a smile, she looks up at him. He kisses her forehead.
“Comfy?” he whispers.
She nods with a deep breath. He smells like his favourite soap and laundry detergent. Underneath is the refreshing scent of the facial mask—aloe vera and cucumber. Lux takes another deep breath, letting the smell of him calm every inch of her body. Craning her neck, she presses a gentle kiss on the underside of his jaw, smiling at his pleased sigh. The beginning of drowsiness slips into her consciousness, weighing on her lids once more.
Silence falls between them as he resumes reading. Lux's gaze blurs as her stare goes far away. The steady rhythm of his heart... the way he caresses her hair... the melody coming from the speakers... it turns out they're the perfect remedy for her restlessness. Once in a while, he hums along, soothing her worn nerves further. The moment she settles in his arms the past is just that. The anxiety that had her in its vice-like grip is now completely gone. He fills her mind, easing her to a state of peace. She holds onto his shirt as drowsiness continues to weave through her consciousness.
As she continues to slip under, she realises that she's felt like this before. This particular moment feels so familiar that she's sure it's already happened. She closes her eyes, hoping it will help her concentrate and bring up a memory. She plans to open them again, but now she finds that she can't. Oh well... she still wants to remember what it was...
Oh...
She remembers.
She called him…
He read her Cinderella…
And told her she was his Prince Charming.
That fateful night when she knew… she loved him too.

falling in crayolove;  (kindergartenteacher!taehyung)
Tumblr media
✎ pairing: kim taehyung x reader
✎ genre: kindergartenteacher!au, workingman!au, F L U F F, tiny bit of angst at the start :-( but this is literally 98% fluff; y/n and taehyung are like two little kids with little crushes on each other
✎ trigger warning(s): implications of getting an abortion!!  
✎ wordcount: 10.5k
✎ summary: y/n is a very single mom and taehyung is a very single kindergarten teacher. emma knows exactly what she needs to do.  
✎ note: okay LOOK before you get into reading, this isn’t technically a full fic! this is what happens when you cross a full fic and a baby drabble = this is a BABY FIC which explains why the word count is much smaller compared to the usual! (ps i will probably?? be writing more baby fics for characters such as garbageman!tae or.,,. oTher characters that i can’t think of right now lmao) i was originally going to leave kindergarten!tae as it was and i was just going to continue to write baby drabbles for him but i felt like he deserved a fic?? buT then i was conflicted because his original drabble literally already tells us the full story and i was like ok.,. what else is there to say.,,. sweats,,.. anyways this is what i ended up with! in case you were wondering, yES the original drabble is included in this fic since it’s a crucial part of the story and it would have been a waste to not use it but if you don’t want to read that you’re welcome to just skiP on over to the end lol. also emma is four years old and tae is a pre-kindergarten teacher because i changed my MIND - enjoy!!
pst if u wanna talk to y/n or emma or tae u know what to do ;-)
(gif isn’t mine!)
(((and the read more function iS there but most of the time it doesn’t work on mobile :// i am sorry don’t attack me by sending passive-aggressive anon messages)))
ah, yes.  
to be young and i-
“i’m pregnant?!”
the reason why you came to the doctors today was because you thought you had some sort of stomach flu
at first it wasn’t a big deal
but then it started getting worse and you literally thought you had a parasite from eating at that dingy sushi place and you were mad at jin for like a week because it was hIs idea to go there and it’s not fair that hE didn’t get an upset tummy >:-(
jin reminded you that he warNed you about the sea urchin and you responded by smacking the back of his head
you have to admit
it is relieving to know that there isn’t a dangerous parasite living inside of you and feasting on your organs
it’s a,.,. ???
how would one describe a baby as a parasite
a perfectly natural parasite living inside of you!
well
it certainly explains things
the sudden onslaught of violent puking in the morning
you thought it was because your yogurt was starting to get a little funky but apparently it’s because there’s a baby growing inside of you!!!11!!!!
also you should probably start learning how to be more aware of the things that you’re putting inside of your body
also
this should have been a big hint: your period didn’T come this month and your red rain has never EVER been late
“but… i don’t understand.” you let out a breath and lean back against the reclining chair while staring up at the ceiling fan
the lightbulb flickers
“i- we use condoms and- we practice safe sex!!!” you exasperate and sit back up to look at dr. kim “we’re very vERy safe!!!”
“condoms are only effective 98% of the time.”
“yeAH that’s a preTTY BIG percentage” your knuckles grow white as you clench tightly around the arms of the seat in frustration
98%!!!!!!!
that means there was a 2% chance that the condom didn’t work and obviously you are part of that 2%!!!!!
“do you take birth control pills?”
“um, is the sky blue?? yes!!!!” you reply as if it’s the most obvious answer in the entire world
“the sky’s grey today.” dr. kim raises a brow at you before pointing behind you out the window “do you take them consistently?”
“ye-“ you press your lips together “…s…?”
sometimes you.,.., skip a day or two
you’re busy!!!!! you don’t always have the time to remember to pop a tiny pill into ur mouth
you didn’t think it’d be such a big deal
and you certainly didn’t think it’d result in u.., actually getting pregnant
“how many weeks…?” you trail off uneasily and pick at some lint on your sweater
you don’t feel so good now
it’s honestly probably because this baby is about to make you puke again but
oh god
you’re pregnant
you’re barely legal and you’re pregnant
you still see yourself as a kid!!!
you’re a kid who’s going to be raising a kid!!!!!!
kids should NOT be raising kids!!!!!!
“you are about… six weeks pregnant.” dr. kim flips through a chart before looking up at you with a small smile “currently, your baby is about the size of a sweet pea…”
in case it’s not clear
it takes two to tango
in this case
your tango partner is none other than son hyun-woo
otherwise known as
shownu
you’re going over to his apartment for dinner tonight and as much as you doN’t want to tell him you’re pregnant, he’s probably going to become suspicious when your stomach starts growing bigger and rounder as the months go by
you’ve been with shownu since grade eleven
it’s been a great four years!!!
shownu is very sweet and kind and caring and handsome and every other positive adjective that’s ever been recorded in the dictionary
you even chose to go to the same university as him just so you guys could stay together
he’s the captain of the soccer team which is a fact that you like to share with literally everYone because..,,. why wouLDn’t you brag about your soccer captain boyfriend
he’s… he’s the love of your life and that’s one thing you know for sure
you see yourself getting married to him and having kids with him and growing old with him
,..,you’re just not sure if he’d be down to do all of that stuff starting noW
you wipe your sweaty palms down on your leggings as shownu sets the plate of fried rice in front of you “i know you don’t like spicy things, but i threw in a liTTLE tiny baby bit of kimchi in here” he hums and takes a seat across from you “it should be fine though… if not, i made a backup plate of plain fried rice for you!”
you have half a mind to start off the announcement with ‘ah, yes, speaking of baBiES-‘ but perhaps that’s not the best approach to this delicate situation
frick
maybe you should tell him later
but.,,. it’s better to tell him soOner than later
you just don’t know what’s going to happen and you hate it when you’re unable to predict things  
how is he going to take it??
he’s usually a very supportive boyfriend but this is a completely nEW kind of supportive
“by the way, thanks for helping me out with my sociology presentation. it went pretty well except for when the prof started asking questions related directly to my slides but luckiLy i was able to bullshit and finesse my way out of-“
“i’m pregnant.” you blurt out
shownu immediately chokes and his fork falls onto his plate with a loud clatter
“you’re-“ he pats his chest a couple times and takes a biG swig of water
he clears his throat
“you’re- i’m sorry, you’re what?”
“i… am… preg…nant.” you mutter sheepishly “pregnant.”
shownu stares at you with wide eyes and for a second you think you’ve broken your boyfriend
and then he snaps out of it
“dude, we’re 19 years old, i don’t wanna be a dad-!“
ok first of all did he just call you dude
and second of all
“and you think i wanna be a mom? we’re both part of this and we need to take full responsibility for our actions. w-we should have been more careful but-“
“i was the careful one! you were the one who was supposed to be on top of your stuPId pills and you couldn’t even remember to take them everyday and now look where we are!”  
“look, it’s not the end of the world-“ your fingers tighten around the napkin on your lap
“god, y/n, how dumb are you?! this is going to ruin my life! you knoW how hard i’ve worked to get this soccer scholarship and all of that is about to be completely fucking derailed because of this dumb fucking baBy and- i’m not- no!” shownu snaps and slams a fist against the table
water sloshes out of both your guys’ cups from the vibrations
the dishes rattle slightly and you immediately divert your gaze to your lap
“i don’t want this baby!” he exasperates and throws his head back before placing his hands over his face “god, my parents… what the hell are they going to think??”
he looks over at you and shakes his head “you planned this, didn’t you?”
“wh- what??” your brows knit together and you let out a scoff “what the hell is that supposed to mean?”
“you planned this so that i’d have no choice but to stay with you because you’re carrying my child”
“shownu- obviously i didn’t fucking plan to get pregnant, it was an acCIdent and-“
“if you keep this baby, i will leave you.” shownu growls “get rid of it.”
at first you were upset
but now you’re just angry
how dare he speak to you like this?
“what did you just say to me?” you scoff and cross your arms
“i don’t want this baby. we cannot keep this baby. we will not be raising this baby. understand?”
jesus
“fine.” you murmur quietly “we won’t keep this baby.”
you swallow the lump in your throat and blink away your tears before letting out a shaky breath
“good.” shownu visibly relaxes and clears his throat before picking up his fork
he shovels a big bite of rice into his mouth “after dinner, we’ll make an appointment to go to the abortion clinic tomorrow afternoon. i think it’ll be fine if i skip the first half of training but hopefully we’ll be back before-“
the chair screeches against the floor as you get up and shownu immediately gets up as well “hey, where are you going?”
“you’re right, shownu. we won’t be keeping this baby - i’ll be keeping this baby. and i will raise my baby on my own.” you snap and reach down to grab your bag before storming to the front door  
shownu doesn’t stop you  
and you don’t look back.
the rest of the night goes by in a blur
it’s pretty fitting that it’s raining like crazy outside
you drop your backpack and keys on the floor once you get back to your apartment
you peel your sopping wet jacket off and toss it on the couch before kicking your shoes off
honestly
it feels like time’s stood still
it’s just white noise in your brain and you can’t seem to focus on anything
you flick the bedside lamp on and a cast of warm yellow washes over your room
you sit cross-legged on the floor at the side of your bed and let out a breath
the atmosphere is completely silent except for the sound of rain gently drumming against the window
a flash of lightning briefly lights up the sky
in the distance, you hear the slight rumble of thunder
you dial your mom’s number with shaky fingers and click the speaker button before setting it down on the mattress
brrrrrinnng
brrrrrinnng
brrrrri-
your mom picks up on the third ring which was wAY sooner than you thought she’d pick up
“hey, look who finally called!”
you open your mouth to speak when suddenly you feel an overwhelming wave of anxiety and fear rush over you  
you should have planned something before calling her
what’s the right way for a teenage daughter to tell her mother that she’s pregnant?
is she going to be disappointed with you?
is she going to be angry with you? tell you that you’re irresponsible and that she saw this coming from miles away?
is she going to tell you that this is something you’ll have to deal with yourself?
your parents worked so hard to get you here and they work hard to this day to continue paying for your tuition fees
and you’re about to tell them that hey, i’m pregnant
you haven’t even said anything and you’re already losing your composure
your nails dig into the flesh of your palm as you ball your hands into fists
“-i was wondering when i’d hear from you. your dad isn’t back from work yet but i’ll make sure to tell him that you called. i’m just making dinner now, i’m trying out this new pasta dish that-“
“mom?” your voice cracks and you clamp your lips together and shake your head
your bottom lip trembles and your vision starts to blur with tears almost instantly
oh god
you can’t do this
you feel your face burning up as you try your hardest to hold it back
a beat of silence goes by and you hear some shuffling on the other end of the phone
the first tear rolls down your cheek
“…honey, what’s wrong?”
and that’s all it takes
the rest of the tears follow in an unbroken stream
you immediately let out a pained sob before leaning forward and pressing your hands against the cold floor beneath you
you begin to cry with such force that your chest starts to hurt and your heart starts to clench and you feel like you could pass out at any moment
your mom can barely make out what you’re saying through your blubbering but she manages to pick out ‘pregnant’ and that’s all she needs to know
she waits for you to sob your heart out before deciding to speak up
she asks if you have the resources to raise a child
no, you don’t
she asks if you even want to have this child
yes, you do
she asks you if shownu wants to have this child
no, he doesn’t, but that doesn’t matter to you
she tells you how much she loves you and absolutely nothing is going to change that fact
after all, you’re her baby no matter what
you find comfort in knowing that you have some form of a support system and you’re not completely on your own
you turn and twist in the mirror as you keep your eyes glued on your bare stomach
you were about to take a quick shower but once you stripped off all your clothes you were suddenly moRe aware of your tummy
you don’t look pregnant
you don’t even feel pregnant
it’s just,.,. odd
knowing that there’s a living human growing inside of you
“it’s just you and me against the world, sweet pea.” you smooth a hand over your bare stomach and give it a gentle pat
just you and sweet pea
nine months seem to go by in a blur
shownu never reaches out to you and you never reach out to him
as far as you’re concerned you don’t want anything to do with him
as far as you’re concerned this is your baby and your baby alone
your ankles become swollen and your breasts become sore and weighty
your skin gets blotchy at some point and there’s not enough concealer in the world to hide the angry pimples dotted all over your face
ur mom says u were supposed to be glowing during pregnancy..,,. the only kind of glowing ur doing is from the gREASE  
you find yourself casually throwing anchovies into your vanilla ice cream and topping it off with balsamic vinegar  
you had to start taking online classes because it was becoming too hard having to transport to campus every day
every time you see a dog on the street you burst into tears because hOUHG my GOD it’S so cuTE *snorts*
you’re in the middle of a midterm when you feel sweet pea kick for the first time and it takes everything within you to not start crying in the middle of the examination hall
jin comes over to your apartment for study sessions but most of the time it ends up with him taping his earbuds to the swell of your tummy and letting sweet pea listen to some classical music
he goes through this phase where he’s obsessed with healing crystals and your apartment becomes scattered with rose quartzes and jaspers because he’s doing it for the baby 
occasionally he makes you lie down so he can place small crystals in a circle around your belly button so that the healing energy will be absorbed into your body and into the baby 
 you’re thankful that you have a friend like him even though he’s literally a lunatic 
your mom comes into town once a month and stays for about a week just to take care of you and make sure that both you and the baby are happy and healthy
as time goes on, your little sweet pea grows into a fuLL on watermelon
and eventually-
“jesus chRIST-“ your chest heaves with exhaustion as you lie back against the hospital bed
oh my god
that was the woRST eight hours of your life
your lower body is completely numb and you don’t even want to think about how buSted your vagina looks right now
you put her through a loT today!!!!
“here she is, mama!” the nurse gently places your screAMing bundle of joy in your arms and suddenly all the blood sweat and tears is completely worth it
oh
oh
“hi, sweet pea…” you laugh lightly as her tiny, mucousy hand wraps around your finger
she’s so beautiful
“i’m your mommy…” your eyes are glistening with tears of joy (aND pain) and you lean in to press a tiny kiss to the top of her head “just u nd me against the world”    
well
that was four years ago
it’s pretty strange how quickly time can go by
four years ago you were nineteen years old
four years ago you were in a committed, loving relationship with someone you thought you were going to spend the rest of your life with
four years ago you were in your second year of university; first year was a hellish nightmare and you were just starting to figure things out
four years ago you found out you were pregnant and your world was turned upside down
and now you’re twenty-three years old
a lot has changed in the past four years
you are no longer in a committed, loving relationship with someone you thought you were going to spend the rest of your life with; in fact, you haven’t been in another relationship since shownu,., you haven’t even been on any dates
you are in your fifth year of university because you couldn’t graduate last year due to the fact that you were missing some credits; luckily you have moSt of university life figured out at this point even though you occasionally stiLL get lost on campus sometimes
you found a pretty stable job at a drug store a couple blocks away from the apartment
it’s not much but it pays the bills (your parents will occasionally chip in and help out if u need it) ((you’re very grateful to have the parents that you have))
jin is still a big fat doofus (he’s not aS obsessed with crystals but u keep them in the apartment because they’re pretty)
emma’s in pre-k now!!!! it seems like it was only yesterday that she started walking and talking
and now she won’t stop walking,.,. or talking
no tea no shade
emma is the absolute light of your life!!
and you would straight up SLAUGHTER anyone who would try to hurt her
:~)  
she’s your little ball of sunshine who smothers you with kisses every morning to wake you up and writes ‘i lov3 mommy’ on literally any surface she can find (you’re flattered but u need to have a word with her about using lipstick to write on the walls) and always wants to help you make breakfast and dinner or fold the laundry or sweep the floors
emma is a peculiar little girl and you are so, so proud to be able to call yourself her mother
she’s compassionate and kindhearted and thoughtful and polite
she never forgets to say please and thank you
she likes to wait for you to get to the dinner table as well before digging into her spaghetti (she can’t pronounce spaghetti yet so she jumbles it together and it becomes spapeggi)
she likes watching nature documentaries (docummeneries) with you and would genuinely choose to watch that over the powerpuff girls or even spongebob and you were like ???? because yOU low-key want to watch spongebob and u don’t want to have to confess to your four year old daughter that you want to watch cartoons instead of a documentary
on mother’s day she woke you up with kisses and breakfast in bed!! she made you a peanut butter and strawberry jelly sandwich and you have to admit that it was *mwah* very scrumptious
emma is very curious as to who her dad is or if she even hAs a dad 
she thought jin was her dad and jin was only slightly offended at how hard you laughed at that when she brought it up
because all the kids at school seem to have dads and she only has a mom
which isn’t a problem at all it’s just,.,. she wants to know
like her friend hwayoung has a dad!!!
and his name is hwayoung’s dad
that’s all she knows about him
one time all the kids in class were talking about their dads and emma didn’t have anything to say but lucKily she was able to steer the attention away from herself
(“my dad’s a dentist” “mine is a doctor!” “mine is a cee-hee-ho! emma, what does your dad-“ “cee-hee-ho of what?” “…i dunno” “yeah, cee-hee-ho of what?!”)
talking to emma about shownu is a tricky situation
“your dad is a very, very busy... soccer player...?”
you don’t actually know what shownu’s been up to besides the fact that he’s on the national soccer team which is gReat for him but every time you think about that stupid boy you can’t help but revisit the night when he basically told you that you would ruin his entire life if you kept the child-
“how come he never visits?” emma furrows her brows as she tries to twirl spaghetti around her fork
the noodles are too slippery and emma yelps in surprise when some sauce splatters onto her face
“he… the important thing here is that you have mommy, okay?” you smile and reach over to wipe the tomato chunk off her chubby cheek “don’t worry about your dad.”
emma doesn’t know a lot
but she knows enough to not bring it up again
anyways
even though you’re a mother now
that doesn’t necessarily mean that you automatically have your shit together becAUSe-
“shit shit shit shIt shit” you curse to yourself as you vEEr right into the first parking spot you see
you immediately crank the brake and unbuckle your seatbelt
“i was going to park there, asshole!” you hop out of the car to see an angry looking mother glaring at you from her minivan and you give her a sheepish smile
“i’m sorry!!!! my kid just got off from class and i can’t be late because i need to drive her to ballet and-“ you’re definitely oversharing with this stranger and she obviously doesn’t care because she rolls her eyes and flips you off before zoOming off to find another parking spot
soccer moms are so aggressive
you double check that you have everything with you and you fish your parent lanyard out of your backpack and sling it around your neck quickly as you approach the front doors
you thought that once you became a mother you would instantly become more responsible more organised more matuRe
obviously you were mistAken because you’re still late to almost everything you go to
some things never change!!!!
you hurry your way down the hallway and pick up the pace when you see the swarm of parents standing outside the classroom
as you approach the crowd you get up on your tip-toes to see if emma’s been excused yet
you accidentally bump into a couple and a bit of your coffee splashes onto their shoulders and they turn around and give you a dirty look
“oh, sorry!!!! ….fridays, am i right?” you joke and they both scowl before shuffling to stand somewhere else
oof
tough crowd
none of the parents here like u that much
which is a real shame because you think you make greAt company
you’re just,.,, there’s a big age gap between u and most of the parents here
you’re one of the younger parents in the class
actually you might be the youngest
min yoongi and his wife (you forgot her name whoOps) are pretty young but they’re still a couple years older than you
and side note their daughter is adoraBle
emma is actually friends with hwayoung so you talk to yoongi sometimes
it’s nice to talk to someone who’s around your age
he’s just veRy businessman-y so it’s difficult to joke around with him
but he’s still a nice guy!!
speaking of yoongi and hwayoung
a bright smile makes its way onto your face when you see yoongi nudging hwayoung through the crowd of people before grabbing onto her small hand
“yoongi!” yoongi looks up and he smiles politely
he’s still dressed all spic and span in his suit from work
“ah! good afternoon, y/n. hwayoung, say good afternoon to emma’s mom.” he hums before bending down to zip up her backpack that’s just wiDe open
relatable
“good afternoon, emma’s mom!!” she looks up at you with bright eyes
she’s sO CuTE
“hi, hwayoung-ie!” you bend down and pinch her cheek before reaching into the pocket of your coat and fishing out a little caramel “don’t tell your dad,” you joke and yoongi snorts in response
“thank u!!!!!” she snaTches it immediately and you coo before pinching her cheek again
you get back up onto your feet “you guys on your way home now?”
“mhm. is emma still available for a playdate this sunday?” yoongi swoops hwayoung off her feet and props her up onto his hip and she immediately rests her head against his shoulder
“affirmative, sir.” you salute and yoongi rolls his eyes playfully “i-“
“emma y/l/n?” you perk up when you hear emma’s name being called
“yeah, we’ll see you sunday! have a nice night!” you turn to squeeze your way into the crowd and once you make your way to the front your heart immediately starts going boom-boom because
it’s taehyung
emma’s teacher
kim taehyung is uh
whOo
putting it simply he is a very attractive man and he’s only a couple months older than you so like you’re preTTY sure this is god’s way of telling you it’s meant to be
the only time you’ve really talk to him is during the parent-teacher conference and even theN you can barely get a word in because emma’s a little chatterbox (one time she almost let it slip that ‘mommy dressed extra pretty for you!’ and you were literally about to pounce on your child in the middle of a classroom)
he’s really sweet n nice and when he smiles that boxY grin you can’t help but smile aNd he’s endearingly dorky and super charming aND funny and he’s so good with the kids and OH my god his voice is like..,., silky smooth dark chocolate.,,.,. rich caramel.,, that u want to driZZLE all over your BODY
okay no R-rated thoughts when there are children present
don’t be weird
since he’s your kid’s teacher you’re not sure if that’s even allowed
the whole parents dating teachers thing
anyways
he looks so soft today
he’s wearing a crisp button up with a pair of jeans
he obviously let the kids mess with his hair because he has a little sproUT in his hair
and you’re pretty sure you have a glasses kink because you’ve never felt this way when seeing someone with their glasses sitting on the top of their head
“hi, yeah, that’s me- i mean, that’s not me, but that’s my child- you know what i mean” you blow a strand of hair away from your face before adjusting your backpack with a sheepish grin
woW what the hell was that lol  
taehyung presses his lips together to keep himself from bursting into chuckles
you’re so awkward sometimes but he supposes that’s just part of your charm
he wants to tell you you look real cute in your periwinkle sweater
and it’s endearing how the laces on your converse shoes are undone
no doubt from your frantic running down the hallway (he notices everything)
but of course he has to keep it professional because you are the parent of one of his students it doesn’t matTer that you’re the same age as him and that he’s very very very veRY attracted to you
“hi miss y/l/n.” taehyung smiles kindly before ticking next to your name on the clipboard “emma’ll be ready in a minute! we did finger-painting today so the kids are taking a little longer to wash up. how was your day?” he suddenly remembers the little ponYTAIL in his hair and he yanks the hair tie off quickly
“oh, y’know, the usual. it’s not super exciting having to keep studying after four whole years of studying.” you snort before pulling your own hair tie from your ponytail and letting your hair down
“i admire that! education is important.” taehyung hums
your hair looks so soft
it probably smells good too
o god he’s being creepy stop being creepy
“i suppose you’re right. what else happened…uh… had a really good caramel macchiato and a mediocre turkey sandwich for lunch-“  
“mommy!” you snap out of your little trance when emma suddenly ziPs out of the classroom
her little backpack bounces against her back
“hi baby!” you grin and swoOp down to scoop her up into your arms
you smoosh kisses against her chubby cheek while she giggles away before you plop her back down onto the ground
it takes everything within taehyung not to mELT into the ground because even tho he sees you do that basically every day it never fails to turn him into a pile of mush IT’S SO CUTE
“we finger-painted today!” she cheers and holds her paper up for you to look at
“yeah, mr kim was just telling me-“
“that’s me, n that’s you, n that’s mr. kim!” she grins and points to the third figure in the painting and almost immediately bOTH yours and tae’s faces go bright red
you think you might actually be on fire right now (even tho this isn’t the first time this has hAPPENeD) ((ur referring to the time the class made play-doh people and emma made one of you and one of tae and the play-doh versions of you two are holding hands))
“oh! that’s, heh, uh, that’s nice! that’s so good, you did a good job, baby” you clear your throat and your eyes flicker over to taehyung
he tilts his head and offers you a meek smile
“will you put it up on the fridge when we go home?” she asks as you tuck it into her backpack for her before ziPping her bag up
“mhm…” you get back up onto your feet and dust your knees off “say g’bye to mr. kim”
“bye mr. kim!” emma turns around and hugs his legs
her face is like on the same level as his knees so he’s basically kneeing her and are u an awful mother if you kinda laughed at that
“goodbye, sweetheart!” he replies with the same level of enthusiasm as he gets down onto his knees so that he can give her a proper hug and she gives him a sweet lil kiss on the cheek “have a nice weekend, hm?” his eyes flicker up to you and you feel your heart skip a beat
emma pulls away from him and skips over to you “oh, and don’t forget to tie your laces, emma.” taehyung hums as he gets back up onto his feet
you look down because you remember putting emma in slip-on converse this morning not-
“he means you, mama.” emma not-so-subtly whispers and you look down at your undone laces before looking back up at taehyung who’s looking very amused at the moment
there it is again
that fuzzy feeling in your stuPid heart
u know what
you have to get over it because it’s never going to happen
you’re an adult
you can get over it fine you’ll be finE
this is just a silly little crush
“how do you feel about spaghetti and garlic bread for dinner?” you clutch emma’s little hand in yours as you guys make your way down the empty hallway
look
spaghetti is the only thing you’re actually reaLLy good at making okAY
obviously you feed your child other things,,,.., she likes kimchi fried rice with chunks of spam,,.,. a refreshing greek salad,,.. peanut butter (beanut putter) and jelly sandwiches,.,., sometimes a little fruit salad,,.,.
“yummy! with extra cheese?”
“it wouldn’t be as yummy without the extra cheese… but we obviously have to go to our usual place to get a hot chocolate first…” you’re rambling on and on about hot chocolate but emma isn’t really paying attention
because she has concocted a sneaky plan in that tiny brain of hers
she knows you like mr. kim
and she’s positive mr. kim likes you back
you always get so red around him
and he always gets so red around you
and red is the colour of love
which means that you must love mr. kim and mr. kim must love you
and she’s been trying her hardest to try and get you guys to hold hands or touch butts or whatever it is grown-ups do to prove they love each other
but each time she does something she’s never successful!!!
she tried to tell mr. kim about you dressing extra pretty for him but you smacked a hand over her mouth before she could get it out
she made a play-doh mommy and a play-doh mr. kim and presented them proudly to you and mr. kim and the both of you just laUGHED in hER FACE
do you people think she’s just a SIMPLE F O O L
and she has to admit the painting of you and her and mr. kim is probably one of her weaker moves but it’s better than nothing
and u know what
she just wants you to be happy
because she loves you a lot
and you’re a good mommy
and good mommies deserve to be happy
and from what she knows
mommies need daddies (sometimes mommies can be with other mommies!!!)
but yOU, specifically
you need a daddy
and mr. kim is the perfect fit!!! she likes mr. kim a lot
he’s always really nice to her and he lets her braid his hair and he gives her candies and kisses her cheeks
SO
this next part is all part of her evil plan and she’s positive that this time something will happen
all of her peers (including herself) have their own cubbies in the classroom
emma purposely left her snack box in there so that you’d have a reason to go back
AND she left a little note in there for you and (hopefully) mr. kim to read
emma is your child after all
meaning she’s a very verY clever girl
she just has to wait for the right time.,.,.
and the right time is noW
“mommy, my snack box is still in the classroom!!” emma stops in her tracks and you nod before pointing to the direction of the classroom
“go ahead, go get it”
“but i need to pee.” she squeezes her legs together and makes a face of discomfort “you need to get the snack box, mommy”
“i-“ you look back at the closed door of the classroom “mommy can wait for you to finish peeing and then you can go-“
“no, no, you need to go get it i need to pEE” the next thing you know she’s spRInting towards the washroom and you’re left standing in the middle of the hallway with question marks floating around your head
what in the hickory ham is going on
“gO GET MY SNACK BOX MOMMY” you hear her voice echo from the washroom
“alRIght alright” you snort before turning and heading back to the classroom
you don’t know why you’re suddenly so nervous
you’re retrieving your daughter’s snack box from her super attractive teacher that you definitely have a crush on there’s nothing to be nervous about
hi tae! emma left the ol’ snack box up in here!
whaddup mr. kim! mind if i just pOP right in??
yo Yo yOOoo have u seen a purple box anywhere?? because it belongs to emma and i need it
o god
all of these options are terrible
you need more time to rehearse your lines-
you’re about to reach up to knock on the door when suddenly it swiNgs right open and you stumble back in surprise
“oh shit!” taehyung reaches out and grabs onto your waist before you can fall flat on your aSS and you let out a squeak
in the midst of your almost-fall you’d grabbed onto his bicep and now.,.., he has an arm…, wrapped around your waist.,., while you have one hand on his bicep and one hand curled around the nape of his neck.,,,..,.,
the two of you snap out of your respective trances when you hear a door open down the hallway and you immediately leT GO of each other
also tae was right ur hair does smell really nice
“hi. sorry about that! i was on my way to the washroom and i didn’t know you were outside…” he clears his throat and prays to god he’s not as red as a tomato right now
“no, no! it was my bad, i’m sorry.” you reach up and scratch the back of your neck “i, uh, emma said she left her snack box in here.” you breathe out
“oh, uh, come in! i’ll help you search for it. it’s probably in her cubby. she’s always leaving things in there.” taehyung falls back into his ‘mr. kim’ persona as he leads you towards the cubbies in the back “let’s see… emma… here~” he bends down and you follow suit
oh my go d he even smells good is this aLLOWed
you perk up when you spot emma’s box
“hey, you’re right! here it is-“ you reach in and grab the box but you’re surprise when you notice the piece of paper stuck to the back of it
it’s an A4 piece of paper with a little card stuck to it and a note written in crayon on it
you recognise the card
it’s the business card of that little cafe you take emma to every friday after school
the one that you’re supposed to take her to right noW
‘mommy’s faveriate drink is karomal makkiatoe and mr. kim’s faverieote drink is hot chalklate’
“huh.” both you and tae are kinda just staring at the note
the gears are click-click-clicking away in both your guys’ heads
and then it hits the both of you at the same time
oh.
oh.
taehyung isn’t typically a ballsy guy but like
he’s feeling vEry brave all of a sudden
“can i take you out sometime?” he blurts out and your eyes widen in surprise
oh
well
you certainly weren’t expecting that
the both of you get back up onto your feet and you tuck emma’s box into your backpack
your cheeks flare up and you let out a little chuckle before scratching the back of your neck “i… uh…”
“i mean, don’t feel pressured to say yes just because i’m emma’s teacher!” taehyung stammers “i just, y’know, i don’t want to overstep here but i think you’re a very beautiful woman and-“
“i would love to.” you clear your throat and take your bottom lip in between your teeth “yeah, i would love to. actually, uh- emma and i, we usually go to this cafe every friday - if you’re free right now, maybe you can come and join us?” you rub your slighTLy damp hands on the back of your jeans and taehyung immediately lightS up and nods quickly
“i would love that. yeah, just… just gimme a second to clean up real quick! i’ll meet you and emma outside?”
“great! yeah, totally. she’s just.. she’s peeing right now so i should probably go check and see that she hasn’t flushed herself down the toilet or anything” you joke as you make your way towards the door and tae splits off to head to his desk “i’ll see you outside!”
you shut the door behind you and you have to quickly press yourself against the wall and you nearly bite your bottom lip off to keep yourself from screaming
your heart is going a million miles an hour and there are butterflies just having a raVE in your stomach
as soon as you leave the room taehyung pumps a fiST into the air in victory because Y E S  HE DID IT
“did you find my box?” emma’s sitting outside the washroom as you approach her and you raise a brow before nodding
“mhm.” she gets up and grabs onto your hand before looking back at the classroom door
huh
did her plan not work
she knows she’s not supposed to say bad words but what the h*ck
she really thought her plan would work!!!!
“mr. kim’s joining us for hot chocolate today, by the way. hope you don’t mind.”  you add casually and a cheshire-cat grin takes over emma’s face
the whole time you and emma and tae are at the cafe emma can’t help but feel proud of herself
you and mr. kim are sitting very vEry close to each other in your booth chatting away while she sits opposite of you two quietly nibbling at a scone and taking small sips of her hot chocolate
S U C C E S S has never tasted so good
luckily enough emma’s ballet class was cancelled today and you secretly thank the gods above because you’re having a really nice time with taehyung and it would have been a big ol bummer to have to leave early
he’s so sweet and considerate and he’s a really good listener
and he’s sO funny and super dorky in the best way possible
“oh my gosh, don’t even get me started on nap time. i love watching the kids sleep!” he pauses and his eyes widen “i promise i wasn’t trying to make that as creepy as it came out… they’re just so cute when they sleep!!! …okay, yeah, that still sounded creepy.”
you’re having so much fun with tae you’ve barely paid any attention to emma which is totally fine to her because she wanTs you and mr. kim to talk more
it’s just
emma gets pretty sleepy after a good snack or meal
sometimes she falls asleep halfway through eating (she used to do that a lot when she was a baby) ((one time she fell face flat into a bowl of mushy peas))
and the blueberry scone paired with the hot chocolate.,., that was a good snack,,..,
“oh my gosh, look at the time-“ your eyes widen when you realise it’s literally almost seven o’clock
you turn to look at emma and immediately stifle a laugh when you realize what’s happened
she fell asleep
her mouth is agape and there are a couple crumbs dusting her bottom lip
she only finished half her scone and she’s griPPing the other half in her tiny hand
you scrunch your nose and turn back to face tae “em and i should probably head home…”
it sucks because it’s still pretty early and u really really wanna keep hanging out with tae but,,.,.
“yeah, don’t worry about it!” tae nods understandingly and dusts his hands off before sliding out of the booth “i’ll help carry her to the car.”
“thank you for treating us to the hot chocolates and scones, by the way.” you hold the door open for tae as he steps outside with emma in his arms
she has her arms wrapped around his neck and her chin propped up on his shoulder
she still has a death grip on that scone
“of course! don’t worry about it.” taehyung hums and follows you to your car parked all the way at the end of the parking lot “by the way - did emma get you to sign the parental form for the trip to the aquarium?”
“she woke me up this morning by shaking it in my face.” you laugh lightly and open the door for tae “i’ll sign it tonight so she can hand it in tomorrow. oh, the car seat’s a little tricky so you can just plop emma in it and i’ll take care of the-“
click
clack
zip
snap
taehyung buckles emma in eaSILy and you’re genuinely taken aback by how quickly he did that
usually it takes you like five minutes to attach the one on her chest
and uh,,.., you’re pretty sure watching him being able to smoothly operate a child’s car seat isn’t supposed to be hot,.,. but dat shit was kinda hot
“sorry about that. what were you saying?” taehyung pulls away and closes the car door shut gently
“uh,.., i was just talking about that aquarium field trip form.” you clear your throat and resist the urge to fan your face
“ah, right! i’ve been meaning to ask - would you maybe be interested in being a chaperone for that field trip? we already have a couple parents who have signed up, but,.., i don’t know, i thought maybe it’d be fun to,.,”
okay taehyung has no idea how to word this
he just wants u to be a chaperone as a sneaky excuse to spend more time with you lol
“emma actually tricked me into signing up to become a chaperone, so unfortunately, you will be stuck with me for like six hours straight.” you smile and punch tae’s arm lightly
“sounds like a rough time but i’m sure i’ll be able to soldier through it.” he teases and raises a perfectly arched brow
a moment of silence goes by and all that can be heard is the slight buzzing from the cafe’s neon OPEN sign along with the faint chirping of crickets
“so, miss y/l/n.” tae clears his throat “can i put you down in charge of sandwiches and juice boxes?”
“sounds good, mr. kim.” you playfully resort back to your proFesSional names and you both stand up a little straighter before bursting into giggles
you don’t know what it is
maybe it’s because tae’s the first guy in a while you actually genuinely romantically like
maybe it’s because it makes you happy knowing that emma adores him and he adores emma
maybe it’s because within a couple of hours he’s successfully wormed his way into your heart because he’s so warm and kind and caring
but you have an overwhelming urge to just-
ᵖᵉᵏ
you surprise yourself when you lean in to plant a tiny kiss on taehyung’s cheek
his eyes widen and his cheeks flush in surprise
he reaches up to adjust his square-framed glasses before letting out a small chuckle “i look forward to seeing you tomorrow morning, miss y/l/n.”
taehyung drives home that night with a megawatt smile on his face
anyone who passed by probably thought he was a maniac but he doesn’t care!!!!!!!
you kissed him on the cheek!!!!!!
he’s a maniac in love!!!!!!!!
you’re not any better
once you park the car in the driveway you let out a breath and then a little squeal and punch the horn compLetely forgetting that emma was still snoozing away in the back
emma peels one eye open to look at you and you lock gazes in the mirror
she immediately squeezes her eyes shut
you turn around and gawk at her “how long have you been awake for?”
“long enough 2 know dat u kissed mr kim on the cheek” she replies with her eyes still shut
goD
she really is a sneaky little bugger
“come on, mama - let’s go see your boyfriend!!!!” emma drags you down the hallway and you nearly stumble over your feet
“he’s not- mr kim is noT mommy’s boyfriend-“
“okay.,,.” emma pauses for a split second before her face lights up again “let’s go see your daddy!!!”
you choke
“that’s nOT ANY BETTER-“
surprisingly enough you made it a liTTle bit before eight o’clock when usually you always buSt in through the doors at like 8:05
the other parents are dropping their kids off for the day and it’s safe to say that this is the first time you’ve seen yoongi in the morning
he has a little bit of bedhead but
his tie is nice and neat as per usual
“good morning, yoongi! morning, hwayoung!!” you chirp and offer him a smile before reaching down to pat hwayoung’s head
“morning, y/n. morning, emma.” he smiles back at you before turning his head and letting out a small yawn
“good morning, hwayoung n hwayoung’s dad!!!” emma grins and bounces up and down on her feet
“morning, emma n emma’s mama.” hwayoung hums sleepily and reaches up to rub at her eyes whilst leaning against yoongi
huh
like father like daughter
“min hwayoung?”
you turn your head when you hear tae’s rich baritone voice
somehow it’s even 𝓁𝑜𝓌𝑒𝓇 in the morning
“alright, in you go. i’ll see you after school, chunky monkey.” yoongi bends down and gives hwayoung a quick hug and a kiss on the cheek before she’s scurrying off to the classroom. “goodbye, y/n. i’ll see you after school as well.” he pats your arm and you laugh lightly before saying goodbye and moving aside to let him through
“emma y/l/n?”
you’re about to sWEep emma up and smoosh kisses all over her face then say goodbye but she grabs your hand and vEry aggressively drags you through the crowd of parents and her peers “emma, what are you-“
“good morning, mr. kim!” emma greets brightly and taehyung looks surprised to see you here because usually he just sees the kid in the morning and not the kid’s parent
“ah, good morning, emma! morning, miss y/l/n.” he smiles shyly before ticking next to emma’s name
“good morning, mr. kim…” you trail off and reach up to scratch the back of your neck
it’s probably because u don’t have any coffee in your system yet but you can’t think of anything else to say
and for a second taehyung forgets that he’s literally in the middle of his job and he has like ten other kids to take care of
“mama, don’t you have something for mr. kim?” emma tugs on your hand and you look down at her before furrowing your brows and shaking your head
“no, i do-“
“yes, you do!” she moves behind you and unZips the front pocket of your backpack and you let out a sQuawk when she yanks you down slightly “here!” emma pulls a shiny red apple out of your bag and hands it to you
you take it from her and raise a brow “i didn’t-“
“you packed this this morning, remember? to give to mr. kim?” she blinks and squeezes her eyes shut before opening them as wide as possible
.,,.is she trying to wink at you?
you’re going to have to teach her how to wink proper- oHHHHHh
“right! i… did! i did pack- here you go, tae- mr. kim.” you smile sheepishly and hand him the red apple
goD
now you feel like a tiny little teacher’s pet because none of the other parents ever bring tae apples and apparently you bring him apples now!!!
“thank you!” taehyung laughs lightly “that’s very sweet of you, miss y/l/n.”
you feel like your entire face is redder than the damn apple “uh, anyWays! em, i will see you later.” you pat the top of her head before nudging her into the room
“bye, mama!”
you glance back at tae “and i will also.,., see u later.,.”
woWie
what an interesting start to the day
“i don’t know how she managed to sneak an apple into my backpack without me noticing.” you slam the car door shut and jin laughs a little and shuts his door
you fling your backpack over your shoulder and jin hands you the takeaway cup of hot chocolate
sometimes you pick jin up from his place after you drop emma off at school just because it’s on the way and jin says he would rather dunk himself in boiling water than go on public transport at 8:30 in the morning
he makes it up to you by paying for the starbucks drivethru drinks
“she’s probably picking it up from me. i am super smooth, after all”
you snort immediately “oh, right, like that one time you- shit!”
“okay firSt of all i would NEVER defecate in public-“
“no, i’m not talking about you, you weirdo!” you scowl before unlocking your car and opening up the passenger seat door “emma left her lunch bag in here…”
jin checks the time on his watch “if you go back and drop it off you’ll only be… twenty-ish minutes late to class? don’t worry, i’ll catch you up on anything that’s important.”
“thAnk you so much you beautiful man-“
seokin gasps and purses his lips “so you ADMIT it you think i’m-“
“oh my god not noW-“ you hop into the driver’s seat and fling your backpack to the front seat before shoving the key into the ignition
you bought one of those fancy sandwich cutters and emma’s peanut butter and jelly sandwich is shaped like a butterfly today and you’ll be daMNed if she doesn’t get a chance to show it off to her classmates
you parked the car hastily so it’s kind of crooked but it’s fiNE
your sneakers squeak against the linoleum as you make your way down the familiar hallway
and you heaR the chorus of kids singing coming from tae’s classroom
you even hear tae singing along
“five little ducks went out one day, over the hill and far away, mother duck said quack quack quack quack, but only four little ducks came back-“
you peek into the room a little and giggle lightly when you see tae wiggling his arms and shaking his butt like a little duckling
how precious!!!!!!!
:’-)
u hate to interrupt the fun morning song but you really gotta get the heCk out of here and go back to class
you already hate that you might be missing 20 minutes of class so you’re trying to minimiZe those minutes as much as possible  
you give the bright red door a couple knocks and shoot everyone a sheepish smile when the entire class and tae turn to look at who’s at the door
taehyung tells the kids to busy themselves with the duck song before he excuses himself
“hey!” he steps out of the room and shuts the door behind him “what’s up?”
“hey… emma left her lunch bag in the car so i figured i’d drive back and drop it off so it doesn’t look like i’m a negligent mother.” you joke before holding it out for him to take
“the girl loves her beanut putter sandwiches, doesn’t she?” taehyung takes the bag from you and shakes it gently
he only knows that because she has it for lunch like every day and she’s always showing it off to her friends because ‘my mommy cuts mY sandwiches into hearts because she loves me!!!!!!!!!’
“i keep telling her it’s peanut butter and not beanut putter… i think she knows the difference but she’s just doing it because she’s a little joker.” you snort and look down at the takeaway cup in your hand
you feel bad for interrupting the class so- “oh, before i forget! i brought a hot chocolate for you. it’s from starbucks so you know it haS to be good-“
“first an apple, then a starbucks hot chocolate?” taehyung beams and takes it from you “if i didn’t know any better, it’d seem like you were buttering me up or something…”
“ah, was it really that obvious?” you tease back
a beat of silence goes by
the both of you are now fully aware that there is a mutual attraction here
the unfortunate thing is that you’re both still big ol wuSSIes
taehyung wants to ask you out on a proper date.,.,. which he did yesterday!! but then you kinD of asked him if he wanted to join you and em for hot cocoa and scones??
and he kinda wants to take you out on a date that perhaps doEsn’t include emma.,,. no offence to her, of course!
he just wants some alone time with u
“so… yesterday was nice!”
almost instantly your cheeks flush and you let out a light laugh “yeah, it really was…”
well
he has you alone
so he might as well go for it agaIN
taehyung clears his throat “hey, so… i don’t know if it wasn’t clear yesterday, but i… would you want to go out on a date with me? like, a proper one?”
“you mean yesterday wasn’t a proper date?” your brows knit together and taehyung automatically enters pANIC mode
“n-no, not at all! i kinda meant l-like, ah, i don’t know, maybe this isn’t a good-“
“tae-“ you reach over and pinch his arm gently “i’m kidding. i would… love to go out on a proper date with you.”
taehyung lights up immediately and nods quickly “how does tonight sound? i overheard emma and hwayoung talking about their sleepover tonight, but if you’re busy we can totally find another time to-“
“tonight’s fine! tonight’s good.” you nod and smile at him
taehyung’s heart skips a beat
he doesn’t know why he’s so nervous and stuttery around you  
“i can come pick you up at your place since i know where you live-“ oH gOd okay reel it back “-bECAUSE it’s on the registry-“
“sounds good! you can text me what the plans are after class today so that i’ll know what to wear-“  
ᵖᵉᵏ
your lashes flutter when taehyung leans forward and kisses your cheek just like you did to him last night
you unintentionally let out a little gasp and reach up to brush your fingers over your reddening cheek “mr. kim! keep it professional…” there’s a playful glint behind your eyes and taehyung can’t help but snort and roll his eyes playfully “besides - it looks like we have an audience.”
he glances over his shoulder and sure enough all the kids are squiShed up against the window in the door to sneak a peek at mr. kim and emma’s mom
“…scATTER-!“ you hear emma and you can’t help but laugh at the sight of the kids panicking and heading back to their spots
you open your mouth to speak
and then it happens
“mr. kim and emma’s mom, sitting in a tree! K-I-S-s,,,,..,,e?,,.i…a!!! i..?” the song trails off into unsure mumbles because none of the kids know how to spell kissing yet and you let out a groan and reach up to cover your face
taehyung stifles a laugh and shakes his head
“i think that’s my cue to leave” you kiss your teeth and point towards the hallway
“you’re going to leave me here to face the merciless teasing of all those kids by myself?!” taehyung gawks at you before turning to look into the classroom where all the kids are huddled by the whiteboard trying to figure out how to spell kissing as if it was some biG ol conspiracy theory
so far they have ‘khisign’ and ‘keccing’ and.,., one kid wrote down ‘kitten’
??
huh
maybe he should replace morning singing with morning spelling from now on  
“i’ll make it up to you, mr. kim!” you’re already hALfway down the hall and taehyung’s heart goes bAbumP when you blow him a kiss
“i’m holding you to that promise, miss y/l/n!”
ah, yes.
to be young and in love.

who: avery lee, marley rose, veronica york. 
when: sometime after thanksgiving. 
where: a coffee shop, then a park.
what: a confusion leads to a very public and dramatic scene, but ends up with three friends made and a tentative couple. 
"You will like this place" Marley's smile was warm and bright as she lead Avery to a table inside the small coffee shop. The both of them had taken a break in their days, thankful that Chicago paparazzis weren't big on following people, and had found that little corner to spend some time together. Marley could not be happier that they could hang out, specially after the disaster that was Thanksgiving. "We could come here more often" The brunette pay no attention to the door of the place opening, too content with spending time with Avery to notice her surroundings.
For Veronica, the story was completely different. She was taking on the phone, already brining her own cup of coffee since she hated the cheap version they sold in this sort of places, when her ex-girlfriend had appeared in front of her yes. After everything she put her through for not wanting to move to America, there she was, happily talking with some common looking girl. It made her see red in a second and before she could thought better about it, Veronica went closer to their table. "How dare you to be here? How the fuck do you have the audacity to move here after fucking everything?" She knew she was making an scene, but she couldn't care less. "Was all of that a lie? Were you coward enough to lie just so you could get ride of me? Are you that fucking low?"
Although she had been living in Chicago for a while now with the rest of the group, she hadn't really had the time to sightsee, to find a restaurant or coffee shop that could brighten up her darkest days. When she mentioned that to Marley, it was almost as if a spark had lit up within her, her eyes had brightened and she'd gotten so excited to take her that she couldn't help but smile as well and allow the older girl to show her her favorite place. It was nice, of course, quite quaint but homey all at the same time. As much as she liked the Rose family - even the troubled younger Rose - Avery would much rather spend her time with Marley; they just clicked in every way and she never found herself wanting to be elsewhere.
They'd been laughing at one of Avery's on-stage mishaps when a woman came up to their table and started berating her. Her smile quickly faded and her brows furrowed as the woman cursed, making a scene in the quaint café. "I..." Avery trailed off, unsure of what to do. "I apologize, ma'am, but I think you've confused me with someone else." Avery was shocked, looking around the café and hoping no one would take out their phone and snap a picture of the moment. She was unsure if this was some paparazzi trick or if Felicia had put her up to this as a prank of some sort; it seemed like the sort of dark humor Felicia would find amusing. "Would you like to take this outside, ma'am?"
Veronica couldn't believe the nerve that Hye-Jin had to deny knowing her. Was it because of the girl she was with? If Vero was someone else, she would for sure believe the sincere confusion on her face, but she had been around her ex-girlfriend enough to know that she was the best actress in the world. It was making her anger boil and as soon as the words came out of Hye-Jin's lips, Vero's hand found life on it's own, landing right on her ex girlfriend's right cheek.
The place stayed in complete silence.
"You can play stupid as much as you want Hye-Jin, but absolutely everyone here is gonna know the utter piece of crap you are. Specially that stupid girl that you are tricking. What has she told you about me?" Her eyes moved to Marley. "That I was the insane ex that wanted to bring her to America? What excuse did she make to be here after she lead me on for five fucking years?"
Marley didn't understand what was happening, but she only knew that she was too stunned to reply to anything that the other girl had said apart from "Her name is Avery" She whispered lightly, hiding her lips.
Although the impact of the other woman's hand against her cheek hurt, it was her sister's name falling from her lips that made Avery tear up. She and Hye-Jin had been inseparable growing up - sisters, best friends, partners in crime. "Ji-Hyunya" Avery would hear her say, the youngest Lee allowing herself to be vulnerable, "- we'll always be best friends, right?" Avery wanted to keep that promise, but with the time difference, Hye-Jin's growing resentment that she wasn't in America and was in South Korea instead, and all of their inabilities to travel for years thereafter... well, needless to say, they hadn't been in contact in years. Avery had been twenty years old the last time she'd been in Korea; neither her mother nor her sister wanted to talk to her, neither of them ever said they were proud of her.
Hye-Jin had been bitter and resentful; it was no surprise that she'd hurt the woman before her.
Avery was broken out of her thoughts when she heard Marley whisper something, her cheek now hot both from the pain and embarrassment. Marley had witnessed all of this. She sighed, looking around the café and shaking her head when she noticed someone had pulled their phone out. Avery hoped that Mr. Harrison would be understanding and wouldn't punish her if this were to be posted online.
Sniffling, Avery pulled her ID from her purse, showing it to the woman. The woman was clearly hurt, angry, and everything in between; she hoped this would help her see that she'd gotten the wrong twin. "Hye-Jin is my twin sister" Avery said in her native tongue, feeling quite odd about speaking in Korean to someone other than her father, "she lives in Korea with my mother. I'm Ji-Hyun. I'm guessing she and mother never spoke about me." She quickly switched back to English, so Marley would understand what was happening. "I'm sorry my sister hurt you."
Veronica had never loved anyone in the way that she had loved Hye-Jin. Her entire heart beat for the other girl and then sun shinned because of her; she was everything Veronica wanted and loved, just to be taken away in a second. The other girl had never felt the same, not as strongly, but she was drawn to her like a fly, being too close to the fire but being unable to move away.
Avery, the other girl had called her and she had to smile, thinking in how the lies had gotten even bigger with time, until she was actually pulling an ID that said the same. It did not make sense, a twin sister?. Since fucking when? Neither Hye-Jin or her mother had mentioned anything, but it was true. "That doesn't make any sense" She was so confused, hurt and embarrassed and she now couldn't help but see the way some people were recording everything that was happening. "I... I'm so sorry"
Marley had stayed away from the whole thing, unsure in how to react, but it was enough. Surely, the girl stood up and made her way to Avery, softly pressing her hand against the other's arm. "I think it's best if we leave, Av" Her eyes moved to the other girl, trying her best to offer some kind of smile. "Since this has all being a misunderstanding, I think it would be for the best if we talked in a more private space. Would you like to come with us?"
Avery could see a million emotions in the other woman's features and she couldn't help but feel for her, knowing Hye-Jin had continued the life she'd built as a bulldozer with no regrets - running over everything in her path and leaving nothing but destruction behind. When Marley said it was time to leave, Avery nodded and slowly stood up as she took a deep breath, knowing that since she was a public figure, she needed to do some damage control. "I apologize for the misunderstanding" she apologized softly, though loud enough for the patrons and employees at the coffee shop to hear, "everyone's meals are on me." She made her way to the register and pulled out five one-hundred dollar bills, handing them to the cashier. "- for the inconvenience and ruckus I've caused. I apologize. It won't happen again." As always, she took blame for everything; she'd been taking the blame for Hye-Jin's antics since birth... why not continue it now?
Walking over to the other two brunettes, she plastered a small smile on her features and motioned toward the door. She and the woman had much to talk about, but she felt much safer and comfortable with Marley there - she hoped the older woman would stick around, though she wouldn't blame her if she chose to go home instead after witnessing everything. "There's a park nearby or we can go to my apartment." She couldn't look at the other woman in the eyes anymore. Avery didn't want to see the pain and hurt again. "Are you free, Marley?" she asked, hoping she would say yes but giving her an out if she didn't want to join them, "or do you have a writing session this afternoon?"
Marley watched as Avery went to pay for everything, smiling softly at the antics of the other girl. It was just an Avery thing to worry about everyone's level of comfort, when she was the one who had being slapped just moments before. "Is she saying the truth?" Veronica's voice brought her back to where she was and nod, sighing lightly. "She is Avery, I can tell you that for sure. I also knew that she had a twin back home" Av had mentioned her in passing, nothing too specific and now Marley saw why. "I'm sorry you had to go through this."
Veronica didn't understand how these girls could be so nice to her after what had just happened. They had no fault in whatever messed up situation she lived with Hye-Jin, and now she had publicly embarrassed this Avery girl for nothing. Yet, neither of them were screaming or hating, but offering her an understanding she wasn't sure she deserved. "A park would be alright" Being out in the public would give her some kind of patience to deal with this whole thing.
Marley was surprised that Avery would even ask that, considering she had no intention to go anywhere.  "I have nowhere else to be, don't worry about it" Slowly, Marley took her hand and intertwined their fingers, giving it a little squeeze to show her support. She would be burning red in another situation, but there was no time to those sort of things. "Let's go then"
Even though Avery was still embarrassed and her cheek was still warm from where the woman had slapped her, she couldn't help the genuine smile that pulled at the corner of her lips when she felt Marley intertwine their fingers. It was just what she needed right at this moment, something to ground her, especially since she knew she was about to have a tough conversation with a woman who'd been hurt by her twin sister. As they walked to the park in silence, her hand still in Marley's, she thought back on the woman's words and pursed her lips as she remembered her mentioning her sister leading her on for five years. Five years. The woman wanted Hye-Jin to move to America with her, but her sister had refused and Avery couldn't help but wonder why. Avery sighed at the thought and led the other women to an empty picnic table nearby.
Before the woman spoke, Avery cleared her throat so she could speak first. She knew the woman would probably apologize again, though there was no need for that. Avery understood where she was coming from. "My father and I left South Korea when I was young. I've lived here since then - well, Los Angeles, not Chicago. Hye-Jin remained with my mother in Busan and then moved to Seoul years later after mother got a promotion. As we grew up, we drifted apart. Hye-Jin was bitter that I was here, I suppose, that I was living my dream... she became someone I couldn't recognize. She resented how our lives had turned out." Under the table, she reached for Marley's hand again, giving it a squeeze before she addressed the woman across from them again.
"I haven't spoken to Hye-Jin in years. I'm not surprised she hurt you, though. She always hurt the people closest to her. I apologize for that. You seem like a lovely woman and I... well, you don't deserve whatever she did." She paused, smiling as she held out her hand. They hadn't even had time for introductions. "Lee Ji-Hyun. Avery, here in the States. I wish we'd met under different circumstances."
Veronica wanted nothing but to run away as fast as she could from these two girls, specially from the one that looked so much to the girls that haunted her nightmares. She thought she was over the whole thing, a horrible thing that happened in the past, but the way that she had reacted told another story completely. The girl was still hurt, maybe she always would be, for what Hye-Jin did to her. It wasn't only the way it ended, between screams and angry words, but the way the other had always thought about what they had as nothing permanent. She always knew Veronica would move to America and she never said anything, until there was a ring and a proposal and the only word that came out of her lips was no.
The walk to the park was silent, her eyes moving from the floor to the way the other two walked beside one another. They seemed happy with each other and Veronica was happy that at least, Avery had some sort of support in this horrible moment. Why were all those people taking pictures of her? God, what have she done? She didn't have time to wonder about it, because then Avery was telling her story and it all made sense in a way it never did before. That was the reason, and it only made Veronica more ashamed of what she had done, specially when the other girl seemed to be nothing but extremely nice. She couldn't help but stare at the hand that was offered, in complete disbelief that she could be forgiven that easily. "I slapped you" Her voice was strained and she could barely keep it together. "I hurt you and you are so nice, god, I'm so sorry" The sob came out of her lips without her being able to stop it. "You... You just looked like her and I embarrass you in front of all those people"
Marley couldn't help but feel incredibly sorry for the stranger girl and she could do nothing but stand up and wrap her arms around her, eyes moving over her head to see Avery. "It was... Not very nice of you, but Avery is fine. Everything is fine, we understand, right?
Avery shook her head when the woman apologized, hoping that she wouldn't continuously beat herself up over a simple mistake and misunderstanding. There were a lot pieces missing so Avery couldn't put the whole picture together yet, but she knew that the woman had been hurt tremendously by her sister; she couldn't blame her for seeing red as soon as she saw the face that had hurt her. "You don't have to apologize" she tried reassuring her, though she knew it would take more than simple words to get her to change her mind, "I know she hurt you. You saw me and thought I was her and you just reacted. Anyone would've done the same thing."
A smile pulled at her lips as Marley got up to comfort the woman, nodding at her words and offering the woman a small smile. "Everything is fine, I promise. We understand." She realized that some people were looking at them, and she couldn't help but sigh. This was going to be everywhere. If it wasn't because she had been slapped at the café, it would be because she was holding hands with Marley. Again, she had to hope Mr. Harrison would be understanding.
"Do you wanna talk about it?" Avery asked, though she didn't really want to hear what her sister and mother had been up to. Then again, she wanted to make the woman comfortable and distract her, hoping she wouldn't notice people around the park looking at them.
Veronica felt better in Marley's arm, feeling a comfort she hadn't let herself get since the whole incident happen. Once her proposal had been denied, she had gotten all her stuff and flight away alone, leaving her old life behind. Friends, family; everything that could remind her to Hye-Jin was left forgotten in the back of her mind, ready to never be brought up. Here in America, it was all about her work and the new friends she had made at work, nothing else.  Still, these two girls had opened a door that needed to be open.
"I asked her to marry me and she said no" It was hard to look at Avery when she said it, but Veronica did her best. Beside her, she felt Marley's eyes holding her a little bit tighter. "She said she would never move to America and I didn't know why but... I guess I know now" She cleaned her tears with the back of her hand, trying to compose herself a bit. "I didn't even now you existed and I'm just... So sorry to both you and your girlfriend. I really am"
Marley's cheek went from normal to red in an instant, but she gave Veronica a warm smile. "It's fine, there is really nothing to be worried about. We have all cleared the air" She refused to look Avery, probably because she would combust if she did. "But we should warn you about... There may be some reporters that will come to ask you things at some point"
Avery sighed, recognizing how hard it must be to talk about Hye-Jin when she looked the same as her. In some ways, she felt guilty. Guilty because she'd been so wrapped up in wanting her dream to come true that she immediately jumped at the opportunity to live in America. Guilty because her father wanted her dream to come true as well, but he knew how hard it was to become a pop star in Korea. Guilty because she wouldn't change her mind, no matter how many times her mother and sister begged her to stay and begged her to get her father to change his mind. Guilty because she left them behind. Guilty because she was thriving.
Cursing her fair skin, Avery felt her cheeks and ears heat up at the assumption that Marley was her girlfriend. Neither of the two corrected the woman, and Avery didn't know what to make of it. Instead, she nodded. "You really should stop apologizing, you know? It's not your fault. We've cleared the air and I know why you did what you did. I know what happened. I know what led you to see red when you saw my face. I'm okay with it." Her cheeks were still warm, her ears felt like they were on fire. As much as she wanted to comfort the woman, she couldn't help but wonder if she and Marley actually did look as if they were in a relationship.
"Ah, yeah..." clearing her throat, she looked around and frowned. People were still looking at them. "Everything will end up online in a few hours. You'll be recognized, I'm sure. I apologize for that. I'll talk to my manager and boss and hope to put a statement out by tonight. Just, uh... make your social media accounts private for a while, yeah?"
Veronica knew that her confusion and shook were presented and showing on her face, mostly because she didn't understand what they meant. Marley kept looking around to the people that was looking at them, but Vero didn't understand why other people would be hating her over this. "What? What would it end up online?"
Marley was a bit surprised that the other girl didn't recognize Avery, but she guessed not everyone was too into the pop scene. "Avery is part of a band and they are very well known. They are actually really good" She couldn't help but flash a grin at her friend, or well, her girlfriend apparently. "Sometimes fanbases are a bit harsh so that's why we are telling you this. We wouldn't want this to be a problem for you"
Veronica was surprised and managed to make a little bit of smile. "That's really nice. I didn't know, I'm sorry again. I'm... I work as a classic pianist and I don't really listen to music with actual lyrics. That's kind of why I'm on the loop"
Avery could feel the tips of her ears burn when Marley mentioned that the group was 'really good', clearing her throat as she tried not to smile too wide. "She's being modest, you know..." she trailed off, though she kept her eyes on Marley the entire time, "she's one of the reasons we've become so popular. Everyone seems to love the lyrics she writes for us." She couldn't help but gush; maybe she'd make Marley blush too. Avery couldn't help but sigh after a moment, though. "I'll try to calm the masses, I promise."
She perked up slightly when she mentioned piano. "I played piano for a while, until I was eighteen or so and everything was kicking off for me professionally." She wondered what had brought her to Chicago, of all places, but didn't ask. They barely knew one another. "I'm impressed. Piano is... difficult."
Unsure of what to do about the situation, she debated with herself for a moment but stayed put. It would probably make things worse to try to comfort her, especially since she looked like her ex. "I hope we can at least be acquaintances?" She asked, her tone showing she hoped for just that. "I know it could be difficult for you and I'd understand if you'd rather not, but... I think we can get along."
Marley was surprised to hear Avery mentioning her being modest but the rest of her explanation made her blush instantly. "I try to write my best lyrics for you guys" God, what was she doing? Flustering so hard for comments that her friend made on daily basis, but now with other person present, it felt completely different.
Veronica thought it was sweet, that the two girls were so into each other. It was literally obvious for everyone that would see it from the outside. "It is difficult, but I've been playing since I was five, so I barely notice it anymore" The keys were part of her now, just like her fingers were. In fact, sometimes, she felt incomplete when she was away from her instrument.
"I'd like that" Her smile became more sincere, letting out a sigh of relief. "I know we don't know each other but you have been really kind about all of this. You both have" Veronica turned to look at Marley, offering her a smile as well. "I'd like to have some friends here in Chicago"
Avery couldn't help the small smile that pulled at the corner of her lips when she realized Marley had gotten as flustered as her by a compliment, a few words that she'd said to her before. She glanced at the other woman, wondering if this exchange made her believe even more that she and Marley were dating - a fact that she didn't mind.
"Maybe we can play something together?" Avery chuckled at her own suggestion, adding, "-though I can't promise I'll actually be good." Even though they'd met through unfortunate circumstances, the hope for a new friend made her smile. "We can hang out. I may not know Chicago as well as I know LA, but I can try to show you around." She reached across the table and squeezed her hand softly, "You have two friends here. I promise."

December Dramas
It’s the end of the year!! Let’s see what we have for the last month of 2019!
Pegasus Market
Tumblr media
The drama that will make no sense but at least it has only 12 episodes.
“Pegasus Market” is a drama about a market that everyone goes to when they are close to being fired and one day one of the best employees of DM company is sent there.
The market changes completely as new ideas forms in Jung Bok Dong’s head as he tries to bankrupt the DM company but it becomes more and more successful over time.
What this drama really gave us is the chance to see Kim Byung Chul in a completely different role.
He is always acting more serious and scary roles like the one in “Sky Castle” but here you will see him dancing, wearing sunflowers and doing the most ridiculous stuff.
This is comedy-drama and it is fun to watch but the episodes contain the same scheme: Bok Dong thinks of something new, the manager opposes, Bok Dong still does it and it becomes a new sell-out thing. This scheme is fun to watch in the first episodes but not the whole drama.
The good thing about this drama is that when it aired it was 1 time a week. That’s why I continued with it plus it only had 12 episodes. So one our of nonsense writing is not that bad.
Overall, it’s entertaining and sometimes brought sad topics into the play, it is an okay drama (at least until you see the last episode).
6/10
Catch The Ghost
Tumblr media
WARNING: If you really like this drama be ready for boiled blood and me smashing this drama to pieces. Sorry, not sorry.
The drama is about police officer Yoo Ryung who is searching for her sister, police investigating and trying to catch “Subway Ghost” as well as “Grasshoppers”. 
It also has some romantic bits with main characters, so if you wanna watch an investigative drama with a little bit of romance it may be for you.
I don’t usually bring screenwriters into the play even if the writing is bad but this drama had lots of mistakes especially with police work. 
The show had two screenwriters Lee Young Joo and So Won and you would think that they would do a better job in research as there are two of them but sadly no.
But it’s forgivable, I guess because they are newbies in the industry. I just wanted to say that it was really frustrating to watch. So, please, writers, do some research on the topics you write about (watch me one day write a drama which has million plot holes).
Another thing that made me mad is that I did not care about any of the characters except for Ko Ji Seok and Madona with Kang Soo Ho.
Ko Ji Seok was such an interesting character, to see how he gave up everything just for his mother. His whole story was so sad to watch and made me cry a lot.
I wish I could talk about Madona and Soo Ho but they didn’t have any more episodes together and there is nothing to talk about. 
I don’t know what I disliked more Moon Geun Young (the actress) or Yoo Ryung (her character). The only face she has is the sad eyebrows face and even when she smiles, acts surprised it was the same facial expression.
Ma Ri (ex-girlfriend) was the pain in the ass, Kim Woo Hyun (policeman) was just eye candy and I wish we could’ve seen more of Lee Man Jin (”dad”) as I love the actor.
So the question is... Why did I watch the drama if I hated so many things?
The reason is because of other people. They seemed so excited about every episode and I wanted to be like them and like the drama forgetting about the plot holes or characters I dislike. But this drama and I just wasn’t meant to be.
5/10
Vip
Tumblr media
You know actors did an amazing job on the drama when the viewers start to send them hateful comments because they portray the character so realistically. (not saying they should do that because that’s just stupid as it’s only the character)
It’s mostly about the man who cheats on his wife and how everything changes from that moment. But this drama also has more stories of other women, Lee Hyuna and Song Mina. 
The drama is great but sometimes so hard to watch as you feel anger towards the character and the choices they made throughout the drama.
What made me sad the most that mostly at the end of the drama they started showing other people lives and how they are. Loved that part but I wish they would’ve done that a bit sooner.
Another thing that I was scared about was the ending but I’m quite happy with how they wrapped everything up (a true Christmas present). 
Oh, this drama also shows a bit of sexual abuse in the working place and what the women have to go through and my biggest applause goes to them when they stood out for themselves even if that could hurt them.
It’s so hard to talk about the drama without spoiling anything, for example, I can’t really talk who was the woman to cheat with the main lead or how everything went on when they found out because it would be major spoilers and we don’t want that here.
That is why I’ll just say that it is a really good drama if you want some angst and sadness in your life. It can drain a lot of emotions but I think it is worth.
9/10
Overprotected Kahoko
Tumblr media
The title says literally everything about this drama. The main character Kahoko is extremely spoiled and doesn’t know how to do things by herself but she slowly learns about the world from Hajime.
It was so frustrating to watch the first two episodes and I thought about dropping it (but it only has 10 episodes). 
The female lead was the one that I was angry about, she talked in the third person about herself, she couldn’t do anything and even had to ask her mom what to wear... But later on, I guess she grew on me.
She started to learn and we could see that she feels everyone emotionally, knows when something is wrong and tries to help them by all means.
What was really weird to see that her father imagined everyone as some kind of animal. It fit everyone except for himself, he’s definitely not a lion.
The couple was cute and how they tried to solve problems together. The family was interesting to watch too but I’ve got bored with one of the aunts who was always like: “I’m going to break up with my husband because I saw a black cat”. 
The drama wasn’t bad and also a bit different when others. Where else would we see an overprotected character who tries to become more independent?
7.5/10

Forbidden Us. 1
Tumblr media
Genre: Its kinda fluffy? Kinda Angsty but it’s all very mild. (also I try to be funny kinda)
Warnings: Nothing (yet) except for the word fuck lol 
Summary: Jungkook is hell bent (get it?) on getting out of this small town, all is good until one night he stumbles across a patch of dirt riddled with tulips and you.. with your wings. 
Word count: 1.9k
A/N: My first writing post. i hope it lives up to expectation!! I have decided though, it would be better to do this in parts. I hope you lot enjoy this. Any feedback is welcomed & or requests / prompts for future writing. I would love to do requests! Sorry if its kinda a slow burn, the other parts have more angst in them.
Forbidden.
The word tossed at Jungkook daily, or more so when he was caught doing something ‘forbidden.’
He has heard that word more times than he can count. Over the years of sleeping in flames, and he swore once he finally died he would find some sort of peace, yet here he was.. demon duties and all did they toss that word at him like daggers. “Jungkook, going to the human world unassigned is forbidden.” “Jungkook, playing with the soul sceptre is absolutely forbidden.”
Blah, blah, blah 
Jungkook scoffs at the thought of that stupid word and sure, maybe it’s because he isn’t the type to follow the rules, even when he was living and more so now. The higher ups to him seemed to truly love that word. Forbidden. Used purely to make him and many others feel trapped. I mean, he’s a demon. He will always be trapped in a ring of dark fire but- 
“I just wanted to hold the stupid sceptre..” Jungkook mumbles to himself as he continues walking the vacant streets of the living. Don’t worry. He is actually allowed here this time. A few more silent steps, glancing to his left only to be greeted by the same coffee shop he see almost every time he is assigned here. Groaning, Jungkook throws his head back “Why does Hyun Always put me in this town.” Glancing around once more. “It’s so boring.” 
He continues, the lights above him flickering with each passing of his figure. This town he’s in; He knows it all too well, from each shop keepers to every single fucking dog that manages to not only startled him (he’ll never admit it though) as he passes but their owners because; “what’re you barking at?” He’s been here so many times and Jungkook’s starting to think that Hyun is putting him here on purpose.
Jungkook remains on the same path feet barely touching the ground at this point as he makes his way up to a park bench illuminated by both the moon and the dim street lamps and where the next soul he is meant to collect is supposed to be. Glancing down at his wrist reading the time; he lets out a relieved sigh when he reads 11:34 pm.
“Great, a few more minutes and I’ll be free from this town.” He says. running his hands through his already messy dark locks. He doesn’t see it, at first that is. Only when the suddenly colour dances in the moonlight in the corner of his eyes. It’s not fully registered until he stops in front of a patch of flowers, slowly wilting at the presence of we,, him, that he sees it. Well more like her. 
“What the fuc-” You stop. Anger obvious in your iris’ as you eye him up and down. Jungkook is staring, a bit too much simply waiting on you to scream, or something because well.. you can definitely see him. Floating. In the middle of this shitty night street. But. the scream never comes, instead a hard object hits the side of his head. He reaches up to grasp the assaulted skin. “Ouch what the fuck!” He says, voice grew darker as did the browns of his eyes fading into a black. He can hear the slight inhale you take as you step closer out of the shadow and near him. Under the dim light can he finally take in your appearance; Light hair, the soft eyes and.. huh? Wings? 
“Why the fuck are you staring?” Your voice pulling him out of whatever trance he was stuck in. He notices the way your arms are folded across your body, face unamused. He looks away a bit too quick toward the bench, as the human takes a seat waiting for the bus they will never catch. He takes another glance toward you after a moment of silence. No, those can’t be real. He can’t help but notice how they flick in movement every once in a while, the holographic colour dancing off of them. It took him forever to believe in what he had become, in even the possibility that demons were in fact real and now he has to believe in a fucking FAIRY? No. He scoffs “Did you just get back from a halloween party or something, dear?” He says, a teasing tone lining his voice. He knows it’s not halloween but cleary you missed that memo. Right?
He stares waiting on a reply or you know “I’m sorry I threw a shovel at your head.” either one works. Tilting his head slightly with a smirk. Your lips are pressed into a tight line trying to not take what he of all species has to say. “Listen dickhead, first its fucking july. Second, look what you did to my tulips.” The last part comes out slightly softer than the first part. Either he noticed the way your voice grew faint and chose not to acknowledge it. OR he truly is a dumb as you have already painted him to be. All demons are daft. 
“Wait..” He starts, looking at your face and letting his gaze go to your wings once again. “You’re fucking kidding me. Fairies are real?” You simply shrug. Did he really not know? “I don’t know.. am I standing right here?” You ask rolling your eyes as you take a few more steps in his direction. Crouching down when you reach the small patch of dead flowers. He watches your movement as you trace your fingers over each petal delicately. He can see how the drained red start to turn back into a deep one in seconds. A smile slowly starts to etch itself back onto your lips as you stand, “Um.. weren’t you here for something..?” You say pointing toward the black watch resting on his wrist. His eyes following the point of you finger until-
“SHIT.” He says as he whips around, the air force he caused would probably be enough to push you over it you allowed it. “No. no no no” He quickly walks toward the bench, not noticing you following behind curiously. He looks everywhere he possibly can, no one in sight. Great. “Fuck. Me” He runs his hands through his hair. How the fuck was he supposed to tell Hyun a fairy caused him to miss his mark. “That's too bad..” You mumble not fully expecting him to hear you as you make your way back to the spot where your newly revived flowers stood. If you could hear the rest of his sanity snap, it would be deafening. He looks over at you as you reach down to the tulips again. Rushing over to you he stomps on them, petals crunching under the force of his foot. 
“W-What are you doing??” You choke out, trying your hardest to pry his foot off of the soft soil. When you look up you can clearly see the specks of black in his eyes, slowly spreading. “Your stupid fucking flowers made me miss my mark.” He hisses. Also your stupid wings but he didn’t mention that one, too busy fuming at the thought of missing his last mark. Your mouth is slightly open before you scoff “My flowers? Caused YOUR incompetence?!” You stand quickly, almost eye level. You didn’t mean to let it, but the tears didn’t care as they forced themselves to rest in your eyes. “Really?? You’re crying over fucking flowers??” He says, grabbing your wrist, tight. Squeezing it so hard you can feel the slight burn and the sizzle of his hand around you. You try to wiggle your way out of his grasp, Looking at him with wide eyes, until he finally just lets you go, causing you to fall onto the dirt with a small gasp. He turns, taking a few steps before looking back at you. “If I see you again.. I may not be so nice.” 
You knew demons, how they were. You’ve met plenty of them, yet you didn’t even mean to meet him tonight, simply making your rounds to check on every flower that you had placed into the earth. He just happened to be there. And now your covered in dirt, surrounded by petals staring at the back of his head as he slowly fades from view.
/
You’ve been rubbing at the dark hand mark circling at your wrist for a few minutes now, a light sigh leaving your lips. You’ve tried so hard to hide it but you can’t really wear long sleeves now can you. Your wings flutter at even the thought of wearing such a restrictive shirt. “Are you okay?” Your sister, Chae, asks breaking your train of thought as she sets down the meal she’s finished preparing. “You’ve been rubbing at your wrist a lot..” She says, worry written all over her face. Shaking your head, you smile at her “I just worked a little too hard last night I guess.” Laughing lightly grabbing for the chop sticks in the middle of the table. 
Chae seeming to believe you stuffs some of the noodles into her mouth. A few moments pass, the only sounds that can be heard is the ticking of the clock hanging above the refrigerator and the slight sound of chewing. “Oh!” Chae suddenly says, startling you slightly. “Did you hear? There was a demon in town last night!” Your heart stops at the mention. Oh? Really?” You ask, playing with the noodles before placing some into you mouth. Chae nods “Apparently his target was one of the old town shop keepers.. but he missed” Chuckling, she looks up at you “I mean, what kind of demon misses his mark like that?” You let out a soft laugh as she continues to ramble on about it. Hand coming down to continue twisting around the burning skin.
Jungkook however, was currently in a vacant room, Hyuns eye shooting waves of :You’re a fucking idiot’ and “You’re get your ass murdered (AGAIN)” A moment passes before Hyun lets out a sigh, standing up from his seat across the room, walking agonizingly slow. “Listen Jungkook, we know you’re kinda new at this, actually, you’ve been ere for how long now?” He chuckles, the faint smile he wore now fading. 
“But.. you can’t fuck this type of shit up. Rebel against whomever you want, that’s on you. But you know better than to let a soul go.” He scolds. Jungkooks eyes are void of any emotion. “I’ll cut you a deal though” Hyun says, smirking when Jungkooks eyes finally meet his own. Hands reaching for Jungkooks shoulders as he circles around him; almost like a vulture with its prey. \
“Stay in that town for 3 months, collect a few more souls to prove to me you can and maybe i’ll consider not telling Luc.” Jungkook body tenses at the name. Waiting a moment until he finally nods. Deciding that dealing with that town for a couple more months is definitely better than having to deal with Luc. Luc of course being the douchebag (as Jungkook likes to call him) of hell. He’d rather sleep in hell fire for the rest of eternity than deal with Luc bitching to him about how he’s the ‘worst demon to even find his way into hell’ or how he’s a ‘fucking moron.’ He’d rather fix this before that could happen at all. And if he’s being honest, he despises him, so any opportunity to avoid him he will jump on it.
“Alright then.” Hyun taps Jungkooks shoulder once more as he passes by him. “Fuck this up.. I won’t be there to cut you deals anymore.” Hyuns voice fades, as does Jungkooks being. 
And well.. shit.
[A/N 2: That’s part 1! I hope you guys liked it? Um.. I’ll be posting the next part in a few days or so! Thank you for reading! Also again if you have any type of one shot or anything you’d like to see. please let me know!]

Namjoon x Idol!Reader ~ Better Than An Award
Tumblr media
[My BTS Masterlist]
A/N: This story was inspired by the video of Bangtan receiving their Daesang back in 2016.
Word count: 3472 (g/n): group name (fb/n) fanbase name (h/c): hair color
Loud screams, chants, and compliments of the attenders of the Daesang Awards ceremony echo throughout the large arena. Massive numbers of fans would seem overwhelming to the average person if he or she were to stand on the stage, facing the crowd. The noise only gets louder as a group of young women walk down the large catwalk, their group leader taking her spot in the center with a microphone in hand. As soon as she raises the microphone to speak, the audience settles down, but resorts to chanting the group's name in a repetitive fashion.
"Annyeonghaseyo! We are (G/n)! Tonight, we'll be announcing the winner of the 'Artist of the Year' award!"
Once again, the crowd goes crazy after the group's introduction. Their screams rival the volume of the young idol's amplified voice. With a small wave of her hand, (Y/n) motions for the audience to remain silent. The (fb/n)s are the first to quiet down, the other audience members following their example shortly after.
"This year's 'Artist of the Year' award goes to..."
Slowly peeling open the envelope, (Y/n) carefully removes the results from its sleeve. She pulls out the small slip of paper with the winner's name and takes a moment to read it. A small smile tugs at her lips once she recognizes the name. There isn't a sliver of doubt in her mind that any other artist should get this award. After years of watching their videos and listening to their songs, (Y/n) is positively sure that the recipients are more than worthy of the award.
"Congratulations, Bangtan Sonyeondan!"
Shrieks of joy erupt throughout the crowd. Confetti drops from the ceiling as the group's most recent and popular song "Blood, Sweat & Tears" plays loudly. Bending over in their seats, the boys can only blink in shock. They're too surprised to leave their spots. Slowly, each of the Bangtan members stand up, some helping out the one's who are still frozen with shock. With huge smiles adorning their faces, the young men come together for a group hug before walking over to the stairs leading up to the stage.
Some of them tear up. Jimin and Yoongi dawdle along behind the other members with an arm wrapped around each other for support. Namjoon clasps his hands before his chest with his head hung above his hands, whispering words of thanks.
In unison, BTS bows their heads down in thanks to (Y/n) as Namjoon accepts the award from her hands. A small heat burns in the rapper's cheeks when his hands brush against (Y/n)'s. He mentally scolds himself for fawning over his favorite idol at such a time.
The group fans out to stand in a line, waiting for the screams to die down. Several of the group members have to wipe away their tears, a few opting to turn around before doing such.
"ARMY," the group leader begins, stopping to wipe his tears before being able to continue. "Thank you so much. Really... From debut, there were many people who thought we couldn't do it and said it wouldn't happen, but thank you for believing in us right 'till the end. This was only something we dreamed of, but thank you for making it come true."
From the sides, backstage, (Y/n) and the rest of (G/n) watch with proud smiles. All of them have been loyal, secret ARMYs since BTS's debut. Acting as secret guardian angels, the group has always attended their concerts in Korea whenever their schedules were clear. Of course, they always went in disguises, masks covering their faces, hats shading their faces, and sunglasses hiding the rest of their faces. In their dorm room, the girls have an entire shelf dedicated to any merchandise and albums they bought.
"Bang Shi-Hyuk, Big Hit, who always lead us; P-Dogg, Slow-Rabbit, and Supreme-Boi, who make us great music; and along with our teacher, Seung-Deuk, Seung-Hyun Hyung, and all of our staff who always stays by our sides, we are so grateful towards you," Namjoon recognizes with sincerity. "Thank you for making our dreams come true."
(I apologise if that is the incorrect way to write any of the people's names from above. If any of you know the correct way, please let me know and I will fix it right away.)
Taking a moment to breathe, the leader inhales a shaky breath before continuing his speech; the crowd takes the opportunity to cheer.
"And, ARMYs all over the world," the rapper says in English,"let's fly with our beautiful wings in 2017 as well. BTS loves ARMYs, as always! Thank you very much!"
Tears flow freely from all the Bangtan boys, their loving fans, and (Y/n) as well. From backstage, (Y/n) applauds and praises the male rapper the most. She can sympathize with him. Before the other six member of her group came along, (Y/n) was the only girl from the original lineup for (G/n). The joining and leaving of so many different members can leave one unsure if he or she wants to follow through with the group; contemplation of leaving lingered.
Tonight, (Y/n) is both applauding BTS for their award and for Namjoon's hard work and perseverance. Had he left the group early on, Bangtan Sonyeondan would not be where they are at today; a record-breaking, award-winning, world-wide famous Kpop group.
---
Once the award winners were all announced, Namjoon tries to look for (Y/n). He weaves his way through the large groups of other idols, keeping his eyes peeled for the girl he is seeking. Recalling the outfit she has on, the rapper is able to sift through the crowds more easily. Idol after idol, the man known as Rap Monster questions the other performers about (Y/n)'s whereabouts. Sadly, none of them are know where she had gone off to.
Just when he's about to give up, Namjoon spots a (h/c) haired girl wearing the same outfit as (Y/n) pass by, heading for the exit with her group members. Namjoon breaks into a sprint in order to catch up to the girls. Repeatedly shouting out "excuse me" and "sorry" to everybody he pushes aside as he runs, the rapper tries his best slip out of the sea of idols.
By the time he reaches the parking lot, (G/n) has already left. He watches as the van doors slide shut and the vehicle drive off the arena property. A growl of frustration leaves Namjoon's throat. With all the strength he can muster, the rapper kicks the nearest wall. All his emotions come pouring out.
Though (G/n) is under Big Hit Entertainment, the group is so busy that none of the other idols see them around often. Being a busy and popular group themselves, BTS's chances of running into the girl group is even more slim than any other staff member or idol. Before tonight's encounter, Namjoon has only seen (Y/n) a small handful of times. With her group going on a world tour in a few months, Namjoon is left devastated. Distracted by his choked sobs and loud gasps for air, the young man is unable to hear the footsteps of his friends advancing towards him.
The remaining six members of the Bangtan boys walk out to the parking lot with big smiles and red faces from laughter. As they approach Namjoon, they cannot see his pained expression in the poorly lit corner. Hoseok and Yoongi are the first to respond, rushing over to their best friend. They crouch down beside the man, who has been crying out in despair, and try to coax a response out from him. The other boys split up, two of them dashing across the lot to pull the van up while the other two stay with the rappers, trying their best to comfort Namjoon.
"What's wrong," Yoongi questions, placing a comforting hand on his peer's shoulder. "Did something bad happen?"
Choosing to remain silent, Namjoon tucks his head between his legs and bites back a sob. The two other rappers exchange worried glances. Harsh screeches of the boys' van tires catches the younger members' attentions. Jin, who is situated at the driver's seat, waves for his friends to climb in.
"C'mon, 'Joonie," Hoseok says softly, his voice contrasting with his usual cheerful and energetic one. "Let's go back to the dorm. You can take a warm shower and then tells us what's the matter."
---
Despite their best efforts to comfort him, nothing helped. He explains to his fellow idols the situation and all his bottled up emotions before thanking the boys for their attempts, apologizing for causing a ruckus and heading straight to bed.
From the small living area, the rest of Bangtan can hear the soft cries from the room their leader trudged into. Tossing ideas back and forth, the members brainstorm different methods and tactics to cheer up Namjoon.
"No, Taehyung, we cannot kidnap (Y/n) and keep her captive in our dorm," the eldest member cries out in horror, shaking his head in disbelief. "That is not how you get a girl to like someone. Your 'method' would make her hate us AND Namjoon."
"Then just tell her how Namjoon feels. Problem solved," Yoongi grumbles sleepily from the couch. He rests an arm over his eyes and sighs deeply. "It's simple and requires less work."
"No!!" Jin chides. "It's not our place to tell her something so private. Namjoon should be the one to say something, not us."
"What do we do then, Jin-Hyung," whines the golden maknae," You've been turning down every idea that has been thought of. It's getting late. Manager said that we have to wake up early tomorrow for a special event."
"Whaaaaaaaat?! What do you mean special event?! I'm too tired to wake up early tomorrow!!"
"Oi! Shut up! Some people are trying to sleep!"
"Guys, guys." Jimin interjects, shushing the boisterous group with a finger pressed to his lips. "Let's just go to bed and not argue over this."
With a majority of the heads nodding in agreement, the boys head off to their respective rooms and fall asleep as soon as their heads hit the plush mattress. Several of the boys steal extra pillows to cuddle with, wrapping their limbs around the fluffy cushions. The eldest remains awake a little longer, hoping that by tomorrow, his depressed friend will find happiness during the "special event" their manager has scheduled for the group.
---
Arriving at the dance studio where they always practice, the Bangtan Boys set down their water bottles and start their normal stretching routines. Shortly after entering the Big Hit building, the boys' manager explained that they will be collaborating to film a "fun, little promotion video" with a group that will remain anonymous until the filming period. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary, so none of the boys act surprised, but they are very excited for the collaboration video. Namjoon, who was still upset about the previous night, felt his spirits being lifted around his cheerful friends.
Forming into small groups, with one main dancer in each cluster of BTS members, the boys practice the dance moves for "Blood, Sweat & Tears." Vibrations from the loud music, in addition to the jumping and stomping of the idols, shakes the floor and walls of the studio. From the outside, staff members and other idols passing by can hear the jubilant shouts of the young males within can be clearly heard. They ignore the noise, having learned that such occurrences are anything but rare whenever Bangtan Sonyeondan is in the building.
With the music on full blast, the boys are unable to hear the creaking sounds of the opening   door behind them. A group of seven shuffles into the loud studio and make an effort to slam the door as hard as they can. Namjoon jumps at the sudden banging noise, being the only member to be only half-participating in the horseplay. The rapper stands still, eyes widened with shock at the sight before him. It takes a couple of seconds before he clears his throat and yells at the member closest to the laptop and speakers.
"Turn off the music!!"
Once the music is turned down, the room is filled with a new sound: giggles. All seven of the (G/n) members cannot contain their laughter after witnessing the males' goofy dancing. The boys all flush pink with embarrassment, but promptly assemble together to politely introduce themselves.
"2, 3, Bangtan... Annyeonghaseyo, we are Bangtan Sonyeondan!"
Looking up after bowing down, the boys see (G/n) bowing in return. Namjoon, being the clumsy man he is, nearly stumbles forward when he realizes that (Y/n) is standing before him. She notices and shoots him a concerned glance, but he brushes it off with a dimpled smile as her group starts their introduction.
"1, 2, 3... Annyeonghaseyo, we are (G/n)!"
"Not to be rude," Jin comments," but why are you guys here? Aren't you busy with your new album?"
"Yeah, we are," answers (Y/n)," but we are here to film a promotional video with you guys. You all know about the filming today, right?"
"Y-Yeah," Namjoon stutters. "We're just surprised, that's all."
"Oh, okay!"
(Y/n)'s soft giggles makes the rapper's heart leap into his throat. The loud thumping of his heartbeat mutes out all other sounds in the room. A sudden epiphany comes to him. Namjoon now has his chance to talk with his favorite idol.
"Hello? Anybody home?"
A sharp, patterned cracking noise pulls Namjoon out of his thoughts. He shakes his head before looking back at the woman who has been snapping in front of his face for nearly a minute.
"S-Sorry about that. I was lost in a thought."
"It happens to the best of us. Now, let's start filming that video!"
---
The camera rolls and all the idols in the room start the given activity. Each of the (G/n) members are paired up with a member from BTS. Much to his delight, Namjoon is paired up with (Y/n). Giddily, the rapper comes to a decision: He will act with the utmost respect and gentleman-like manners towards (Y/n).
"Okay, Namjoon, (Y/n), you two will sit adjacent to each other at the table and when the cameras roll, I want you two to look through that textbook on the table and pretend to be studying." The director yells through a megaphone while waving his free arm around, motioning the two group leaders to the set on his right. Once (Y/n) and Namjoon are seated, the director screams "Action!" and the two take on their roles for the video.
On the outside, the male rapper appears to be his normal, suave self. In reality, he is doing everything in his power to calm his tense nerves. When (Y/n) gestures a finger to a random line of text in the book, Namjoon leans in closer, as if to examine the words. His face brushes against her own as the man pretends to help (Y/n). Distracted by his anxiousness, Namjoon accidentally swings his arm out and knocks a vase off the tabletop. The decorative container shatters in an instant, flowers splaying out onto the floor as water floods out in a radial fashion.
"Aaahhh!" Namjoon jumps, his entire body lurching backwards, causing his chair to tip over.
"Are you okay?!" (Y/n) worriedly yells, leaping out of her seat to help the fallen man. "You should be more careful. You could have gotten hurt!"
"I'm okay," he assures, waving his hand at the other idols who had run over upon hearing the sound of the ceramic container breaking.
Jin pays no mind to the leader's words. He rushes over and, with (Y/n), pulls Namjoon to his feet. Like the motherly person he is, Jin brushes off any dirt or debris from his friend's clothes while ranting about the man being "too dangerous for the world" and  having a "destructive touch."
"Is everybody okay?" The director, once again, yells through his megaphone. When all the idols give a shout of confirmation, he has the vase replaced and starts the camera again.
During the second take, Namjoon acts out his lines hastily. The embarrassment from before takes a toll on his performance. A wave of nausea comes crashing down on him out of the blue, causing Namjoon to instinctively smack a hand over his forehead. Trying to rub away the sickening feeling, the rapper moves his arm out to allow his head to rest against his limb. This action, yet again, results in the newly placed vase to fly off the table.
Shouts of disbelief can be heard from the other end of the room, where the the twelve remaining idols are standing, waiting for their cue to step on set. Several of the Bangtan members face-palm at the second mistake from "god of destruction."
"Are you alright? What's going on?"
An awkward silence lingers in the air when Namjoon remains silent, only shrugging his shoulders as an answer. After embarrassing himself for the second time in under an hour, Namjoon shamefully keeps his eyes glued to the ground below him. He doesn't want to face any more humiliation in front of the girl that he is smitten with.
Sensing the male rapper's perturbation, the director calls for a ten minute break and suggests that Namjoon step outside for some fresh air. He readily agrees and darts out the back door without a moment's notice.
(Y/n) waits for a few minutes to let rapper collect himself before running off to check on the him. She pushes the heavy door open and slips through the small opening before it closes shut.
---
Hearing the door open Namjoon's body whips around, his mind ready to curse at whoever is joining him. When he sees (Y/n), he shrinks away and averts his gaze, refusing to let the girl witness him in such a weak state, but she won't have any of it. With the gentleness of a mother's touch, (Y/n) gingerly grabs Namjoon by the shoulders and turns his body to face her own.
"You've been crying... Why?"
"It's nothing you need to worry about..."
"That's where you're wrong. You can't concentrate on a scene with me and end up in the back of the building crying. I think I deserve to know why you're acting like this. Did I do something to hurt you?"
Namjooon's eyes widen after hearing her words. He is quick to reassure (Y/n) that she was not the source of the problem, even though she is, although for a more complex reason. Using the simple excuse of having jittery nerves, Namjoon is able to dismiss any thoughts of wrongdoing from (Y/n)'s mind.
"Oh, well, whenever I get nervous, one of the girls help to calm me down. We would just talk about random things until I'm ready to partake in our activity. Since we don't have much time left, I'll give you something for good luck!"
"What do y-"
The feeling of soft, warm lips on his cold cheek startles Namjoon. The rapper is more than shocked when (Y/n) pulls away with a bright smile on her face.
"Bangtan, fighting," she cheers.
Without a doubt, Namjoon's face shows exactly what he feels at the moment: shock. His body is frozen and unable to move. (Y/n) takes his silence as her cue to leave, but before she can reach the door, she is stopped by Namjoon's voice.
"I really like you," blurts out the brunet, who immediately slaps his hand over his mouth after realizing what he had just disclosed. The man's cheeks, which are already flushing pink from the cold, burn bright red.
Instead of leaving like he thought she would, (Y/n) turns around, a smile gracing her lips. She approaches Namjoon and plants a chaste kiss to his cheek again. "I'm glad you do, 'cuz I like you too. Now, let's go back inside and finish that video!!"
Walking hand-in-hand, the pair return to the set and wrap up the scene without a single mistake, leaving the remaining members of the other groups confused until they detect the close bond (Y/n) and Namjoon had formed during the short period of their break.
All the members of BTS smile warmly at the two, knowing that a beautiful relationship will soon blossom.
The End

Hey Ari! How are you doing? I hope you are well 💕
I'm really curious now what a Minseok solo album would sound like... a nice thing to think about, hehe. Oh right! We will get actor!soo back very soon. Well, I'm also excited for that xD - from what I remember of his upcoming projects they all sounded really interesting 🤔 Let's see what time will bring ^-^
Between City Lights and Delight it's pretty much a tie for me. City Lights has Un Village and Stay Up and Betcha and Psycho but Delight has Love Again and Candy and Underwater and Poppin' ... yeah, a tie 😁 For Junmyeon's album i also thought that it's such "a pity" the entire concept was so very original and impressively well-made - to me it feels like the album design got more attention than the music itself. I mean, we all loved how Junmyeon it was and I i don't mean that the songs weren't hyped up at all... just not as much as the art the album design was. That's my impression of it.
Aahhh nooo, I forgot Yixing!!!! I was so into justifying my point of view the last time that I forgot to give our lovely Yixing a special mention. Well, I'm doing it now then xD his solo work is just super-amazing. Especially the recent album. It's my absolute favourite of his - he improved so much with every album that came out and now... insanely good album. and it's fitting him so well too, logically, as he has much more influence on his music than the rest of our soloists. The same goes for Exo SC - to me it's really hearable that Chanyeol and Sehun both had a say throughout the entire writing process of their songs, may it be lyrics or also production. I always love that little personal touch on songs their songs ^-^ CBX has this super cheery and energetic sound and I love that so much. Listening to them puts me in a good mood most of the time. As I already mentioned, EXO has that super-broad palette of sounds and music styles - it's hard not to find something you like, haha.
Yeah, Bavarian culture is probably just the most known one throughout the world and has become the German stereotype somehow - I don't think you are ignorant for thinking that. I don't know the usual customs of every part of Germany either xD Or the traditions of different parts of the USA, for that matter. I think you can only get to know more about customs of a cou try or region by actually being there to see it. Where I am from for example, Christmas in combination with mining is a huge thing. there are parades with people playing traditional marchs while wearing traditional uniforms and all that. and we have Christmas decorations with domestic elements from the time minig was still actively practised here. every part of Germany is know for different traditions and festivals. I'm from Christmas-land, Bavaria has the Oktoberfest, another part celebrates carnival like crazy and so on. I think it's not too different from how things in America are, is it? 😊
I've adjusted quite well, I'd say. Of course, it's still a bit weird to live alone at times but I've been visiting home really regularly. I just came back from there yesterday and will go back next week again, if not earlier, depending on how the covid spread will develop. I really want to be at least with my closest family for Christmas and not entirely alone.
Oh, and my fingers are crossed everyone stays healthy and you can still have two enjoyable weddings. 😄 Are you excited for Christmas already? Does your family have any traditions, like a special food? I'm not familiar with how Christmas is celebrated where you are from (i only know the pictures from very intensly decorated houses, haha) no I'm curious :D
Stay safe ♡
~ secret santa 🎄
My Annonie! 💖 I’m really sorry I’ve left you hanging for so long 🥺🥺🥺, this week and a half has been pretty insane for me 😫 I missed a week of work because of this pain I was having and it’s been crazy trying to catch up with the workload oof >:(. Not to worry tho! I’m feeling better now 😊
Annonie, have you SEEN my man Minseok? 🥴🥴🥵🥵 asdkfkjsdh I hope this doesn’t sound bad but these Korean guys seem to come back even HOTTER from their military obligation (I mean, idk if you’re into the Korean dramas but ji chang wook and kim soo hyun are also perfect examples of this LOL) asdkjhafsj I so hope he gets a solo or SOMETHING >:( poor baby is so underappreciated. 
I get you! The aesthetics of Junmyeon’s solo was more visually pleasing than musically. Which I’m not saying the music was bad! Lol I just thought the concept was better lol.
So for Baek’s albums its a tie between the two, but what about Exo-SC’s? Which album did you like more? Lol and yes!! Annonie I AGREE. Yixing’s latest album for me is 🤯🤯🤯 Call My Name and H2O are still on REPEAT to this day oof and Lit deserved a damn OSCAR amiright? 😭 worthy of all the awards! 
Annonie! Christmas combined with mining??? Traditional marches in uniforms and stuff??? Omg this all sounds so neat!! I could imagine all the music and sights and food 🥺😭❤ it must be so beautiful! So where you’re from you guys go more all out for Christmas than other regions of Germany?? That’s cool! So much culture 😭💖 For me it’s a weird funny blend of latin homey traditions for Christmas LOL. We do the decorations in and out of the house but that I know of most americans celebrate Christmas on the 25th? And at least in my family we always celebrated the 24th? Kinda sorta??? Like the big dinner with all the family is on the 24th but then at midnight we got to open the presents 😁 and then Christmas day is usually hanging out with family eating leftovers 😆. Most of the time for the dinner my mom is in charge of bringing the ham, and now that I’m older I’m in charge of the wine LOL my cousin that I visited in New York is here! And she normally makes challah bread and some kind of casserole? Lol but all my little cousins are also getting older so for the most part everyone chips in with something 😄 its nice. Idk if my brother will be with us or with his fiancé’s family this year 🥺 lol or my cousin either for that matter. But that’s part of the family growing up I guess!
Annonie are you home this week for Christmas?? I hope you are able to spend this time with your family 🥺💖🎄❄ all my best wishes for you this Christmas my love! 💕💕💕
