3.6k words / oneshot

Apparently everything narrowly missed his heart — physically at least. It’s all infuriatingly fuzzy between the overwhelming and insufferable clarity. One minute a nurse is upping his dosage and it everything feels like a blur, but as soon as he’s alone again it’s all so viscerally clear, so overpoweringly lucid, like he’s watching a crystal clear replay of a movie, clearer than any VHS he’s seen. Hates himself for it, but he’s spent most of his time in this place crying. Curled up under the thin sheets, shaking and sobbing as soon as he knows he’s alone. The nurses caught him instinctually trying to beat the tears out of himself, screaming echos of his father’s words a few times. Not that the man ever visited to do it himself. A week or so in, Susan told him he left. That his dad went back to California without him. Like he was already dead to him.

Eddie Munson moved to Chicago after surviving his injuries in the Upside Down, knowing even alive there was no life for him in Hawkins anymore. When he crosses paths with a familiar face in 1991, he realizes maybe he was running from a little bit more than he'd acknowledged to himself all those years ago.

of fishes and chocolate muffins. ksm.

kim seungmin x gn!reader — working the morning shift at a cafe on weekdays isn't really the best, entertainment wise. still, eavesdropping on your customers wasn't something you did on a daily basis. it just so happened that two of your regulars had something in store for you today.

GENRE/S — fluff, humor, a pinch of angst, cafe/coffee shop au, writer!seungmin (barely mentioned) • 1.2k words

WARNING/S — profanity for humor, seungmin is pretty down in the dumps for most of this, part 2 of this fic but a different y/n, mentions of unrequited love

( ✒️ ) happy birthday to @seungiepaws !! here's your request for a part 2 of universe lovie, i know i said i'll do a drabble as a gift but it ended up a little longer so you're getting a whole fic mwah <3 i hope you like it

2024 ⓒ starseungs on tumblr. do not steal, repost, or edit.

The small bell perched on top of the cafe’s entrance door chimed softly at the arrival of a new customer. Your well-rehearsed greetings immediately followed, words racing out of your lips before you could even think twice. It really didn’t matter whether you meant them or not. As long as the guest felt welcomed, then that meant you were already doing your job well.

You doubt any of them ever even acknowledged your efforts, anyway. That was just how the world worked on a normal Monday morning—everyone running on autopilot until the seemingly brainless hoard of zombies got their lethal dose of caffeine or sugar and started acting like proper functioning members of society for the rest of the day. Then, the cycle repeats.

As an “all-rounder” cafe employee (as you liked to call yourself), this was just another day in the bigger scale of the year. Not too important, nor was it a particularly boring day. That simply wasn’t possible if you were working at a cafe, or really, just working in general.

“You’re always here, dude.” An exasperated voice groans from the window booth next to the serving counter. You recognized his face right away as one of your regulars who looked like a hamster. “At this point, you need to pay this place rent.”

The man he was talking to rolled his eyes with a scoff, even though his fingers never stopped typing on his laptop’s keyboard. “I’m a paying customer. Objectively, I’m already giving them money to stay here.”

You couldn’t help but silently snort at the guy’s comeback. He wasn’t entirely wrong, after all. This cafe’s prices already took into account the amenities they could use here. So technically speaking, as long as customers bought something from the cafe’s menu, they could stay for as long as they want until the establishment closes. That’s not usually the case, though. Most people still had places to be and other things to do other than have a staycation on some random cafe seat.

Note that you said “most” instead of “all”. Of course, there were always bound to be those who, for the lack of a better description—overstayed their welcome. 

And one of them is that chestnut-haired male who was currently getting berated by his friend.

“Seungmin, seriously!” The other guy, who you finally remembered being named Jisung from his previous orders, exclaimed in concern. “You can’t just stay here all day, every day. I know you’re trying to get over your roommate, but at least make use of your rent?” Jisung almost pleads.

You really didn’t mean to eavesdrop on their conversation, as the topic seemed awfully private, but what exactly could you do from the close proximity of the counter and their booth? It’s not like you were judging the two of them. There was no harm intended, and you were sure you’d still go about your day as usual with or without this newly obtained knowledge from strangers.

Seungmin sighed. “I don’t think you want me to be cooped up in my room writing either, so what do you really want to achieve?” His hands finally parted ways from his keyboard for the first time in about an hour. “Jisung, you know being alone in the apartment is only going to remind me of how my roommate is out there with their boyfriend being all happy and enjoying life while I’m over here writing sappy fictional love stories because I don’t have one of my own.”

“Oh, but you do.” Jisung huffs. “It’s just the unrequited kind.”

“Haha, very funny.”

“Just saying,” he comments. “I’m gonna let you sulk all you want as part of your healing process, but you really shouldn’t be sacrificing yourself just for the thought of them. You deserve better, Min.”

If you could only agree out loud, then you already would’ve. Unfortunately, that meant revealing the fact that you’ve been secretly listening in to the personal conversations of your customers, and you weren’t completely sure if that was even legal for you to do so. Still, what are they going to do? Charge you for having ears?

“I don’t know,” Seungmin mutters. “I’ll manage it eventually.” And to this, Jisung only frowns.

Now, you were just as frustrated as Jisung was. Seungmin is an attractive guy—you were one hundred percent certain that he could get anyone head-over-heels for him if he wanted. And yet, here he was, a monotone mess over unrequited love? Whoever that roommate is, they had severely failed to see the vision since if that was you, best believe you weren’t letting him go just like that. 

Seungmin had honestly caught your eye ever since the moment he started going to this cafe. To put things into perspective, you were practically all smiles for the rest of the day every time he came to order something in the mornings before his daily schedule. When he started staying for whole days, it was only a matter of time before you ended up shooting your shot, even if you barely knew anything about him. Heck, the most you even knew about him was that he liked the chocolate muffins the most here!

A plate of chocolate muffin was heavily plopped down on the two men’s table, startling them due to the sudden act. They exchanged confused glances before Jisung cleared his throat to speak. “Uh—we didn’t order that.”

“It’s on the house.” You pursed your lips.

“What?” Seungmin asks, dumbfounded. You knew he was going to ask for a reason until he saw the look on your face while staring at him. His expression quickly shifted to one of mortification. “Were—were you eavesdropping on us?”

You clicked your tongue. How were you finding his reaction to that so cute? “Look, I didn’t mean to,” you explain. “See that counter? Just how far do you think my station is to your booth for me not to hear a single thing?” Seungmin only grumbles—probably to hide his embarrassment.

“Alright, sure. Whatever,” he says. “I still don’t need that muffin.”

Your eye twitched involuntarily. All of a sudden, you were already leaning on their table with narrowed eyes pointed at the laptop-facing man. “Okay, listen here, you soggy rained-on puppy.” You could have sworn you heard Jisung choke. “This is gonna sound really shitty of me, but there are plenty more fish in the sea. The same goes for your experiences in life. Trust me, you’re not even close to losing those opportunities yet. Unless you’re trying to live like a saint, that is. So grow some balls after your little pity party.”

“That was,” Seungmin exhales shakily. “Vaguely threatening. But somehow I’m not as offended as I thought I would be, so—uh, thanks?” He taps lightly on the plastic cup of his drink, looking away awkwardly.

You lifted yourself off the table and crossed your arms. “My name is Y/N. I work here every morning on the weekdays.” 

“Right,” he hums, still not glancing your way and instead facing the baked good you dropped by their tabletop. “So, is this muffin really free?”

All you let yourself give him was a nonchalant shrug. “Yeah. Just call me whenever or something. Congratulations on hooking a new fish,” you said without shame before walking away back to your station.

If you only looked back for a moment, you would’ve seen Jisung gasping for air from laughter with an incredibly red faced Seungmin blanking out as he held a serious staring contest with his muffin.

You could only hope that cheered him up a bit.

─ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ A RESPONSIBLE OLDER BROTHER...

🍰 genre: fluff ~ !

✒️ word count: 1068

💭 summary: you never thought you'd cross paths with someone who once caught your eye in high school, much less as his younger brother's elementary school teacher.

🍥 author's note: ngl i feel like something like this alr exists out there, i just don't know if someone alr made something like this, so pls lemme know 😭😭😭 and i had no idea what exactly to call this au, but basically, choso and yuuji are half brothers and choso's completely human; they have a wide age gap, but choso's very close to yuuji and is an amazing older brother to him here (he's very involved in his life and supports him so much !!) AND I'M SORRY I MADE KENJAKU YUUJI'S MOM BY DEFAULT 😭😭😭 ik he's also technically choso's dad, but i had to fit the half siblings thing in somewhere TT

"excuse me," spoke a raspy voice from behind you. turning around, you see a tall man with dark, chin length hair and smoky eyeshadow looking at you; he sort of towering over you, coming off as slightly intimidating. "ah, yes?" you asked in a soft voice, forcing a smile. "um... i'm here to pick up yuuji itado—" "big brother!" the little boy's high pitched voice called out for him from within the classroom.

like a little tornado, yuuji slipped out of the classroom and embraced his older brother by the legs, yapping to him a mile a minute about how fun making the origami animals and finger painting were in class today. the man chuckled and pat his younger brother by the head, taking him into his arms and carrying him. "that's great, yuuji, but slow down..." he advised his younger brother, giving him a piggy back ride.

you couldn't help but smile at the brotherly affection yuuji showed for his older brother. "so you're the one yuuji keeps bragging about in class..." you say in a sweet voice, admiring how patient he is with yuuji. the man's eyes go a little wide, and across his face, a reddish blush appears on his cheeks. "well, um... i didn't realize my little brother spoke so highly of me..." "he does, all the time!" you explained, making the man blush a little more as the toddler yuuji played with his older brother's hair.

"say, sir, um, might i know your name? just in case, y'know, security might ask who picked yuuji up next time?" "um, kamo, choso kamo," he introduced himself in a low voice, with you raising your eyebrows at the familiar name. "k-kamo?" you repeated, as if the way the name rolled from your tongue felt strange. he nodded, already brewing up the explanation in his mind that he never failed to explain time and time again others asked how they had different surnames.

"y'see, yuuji's my half brother," he uttered as the toddler soon felt sleepy and was about to sleep on his brother's shoulders. "we have different fathers, but that doesn't mean he's a stranger to me," choso affirmed, letting yuuji rest on his shoulders. you nodded, feeling a little sympathetic about their family situation, but also feeling as though choso had been somebody you once knew back then, some time in your high school years. "i see... well, i'm glad to know you're both very close," you said with a smile, chuckling under your breath at how absolutely adorable yuuji looked when sleeping on his otherwise stoic looking older brother.

"but i have to ask..." you begin as you look over choso's face once more, searching for some familiarity you may have within his features. choso raised an eyebrow as your voice drifted off as you scoured through your memory where you may have heard the name 'choso kamo' before. you snapped your fingers and widened your eyes when you finally realized just who this man might be. "you were my classmate all throughout my first year in high school!" you exclaimed, grinning.

choso looked at you dumbfounded, he didn't realize you were his old classmate until you pointed it out. "you... were?" he asked you, unsure if the person he was remembering from his hazy memories of high school was the very person he was talking to right now, his younger brother's elementary school teacher. you nodded, smiling wider. "yeah! sorry, i just... i didn't realize it was you! you got taller, your hair's longer, and... i like your makeup," you muttered, giggling a little under your breath. it felt like just yesterday that you were sitting next to one of the most cold and aloof people you had ever laid eyes on in the small world you were in that was high school.

you could remember the goth aesthetic choso had, the chunky boots he'd sneak wearing and get in trouble for, the earphones that were always stuffed in his ears and the occasional lip rings he'd wear when no teacher or discipline officer was in the vicinity; he was oddly cool to you back then. maybe it was just your lack of adventure and rebelliousness in your teenage years, but choso always stood out to you as the kind of person you aspired to be; not goth or a rebel or anything like that, more like a person who lived out their freedom and individuality, throwing caution to the wind and living your life how you wanted to, that was the kind of person choso seemed to you, and you had always yearned to become that kind of person, even now, do you wish you were that free with your life and decisions.

choso's cheeks flushed with red once more, he nodded and murmured his thanks at your compliment. he cleared his throat and tried to look you in the eye, unsure if he should refer to you by the name you preferred to be called in high school, or keep the formalities and call you by the name yuuji called you with the honorifics and all. "i... i'm glad i met you again," he muttered, his face getting redder and redder by the minute.

you nodded and grinned wider. "same here. well, see you and yuuji around, choso; i'll be looking forward to seeing you more often now," you said as you headed back to the classroom to check on the other children, with choso nodding, gazing at you from under his eyelashes. "um, wait..." choso called out to you. "yes?" you asked him, turning around to face him. choso could feel his throat go dry as he struggled to find the words to express what he wanted to ask you right then and there. "c-could i... get your number? f-for emergency purposes, of course..." "...sure thing," you obliged, relieving choso, but simultaneously making his heart pound with anticipation as you wrote your number down and handed it to him.

"how responsible of you, really, i'm really glad yuuji has you as his older brother..." you exclaimed, with the corners of choso's lips curving into a soft, delicate smile. "makes me admire you even more, y'know," you added, making choso's entire face erupt into a blush, making your own face heat up as you smiled and giggled under your breath.

guess some things never change no matter how much time passes...

long fic recs

this is a list of fics that are, well, long regardless of the trope and plot. for voracious readers who aren't satisfied with short-length writing. all these fics are considered holy grails because i don't read long fics if they aren't well-written. all fics are finished unless noted otherwise.

✒️ unfinished

yoongi

third wheeling by @untaemedqueen  i absolutely love everything about this. it's a lot of my favorite tropes in one giant fic. the characters are complex and fleshed out, the pacing is good, and i love the writing style. the smut is well-written and, though the catalyst for the plot, well-paced that it doesn't feel like a smut-centric fic.

suit & tie + drabbles by @jungshookz this is is a long fic but in bullet points, so i can only imagine how long this could've been if it was written in full sentences. another fic where yoongi does a 180°, but their dynamic is adorable from the beginning. not a lot of drama, a good fic to go back to if you want something lighthearted. you can probably tell by now that i love ceo fics.

desolate by @angelicyoongie this fic is long but has a very straightforward style of writing that's easy to follow and understand. it's one of the few hybrid fics i've read where they fight for a hybrid's right to freedom. i love how much yoongi opened up and changed throughout the fic. it's one of those fics where the idea of a hybrid isn't romanticized.

the deal by @untaemedqueen a great introduction to syndicate fics if you're looking for one. this is a chaptered fic that isn't too long and is easily digestible. it doesn't touch on mafia-esque activities so much. i have a thing for romance fics where the stone cold character evolves into a romantic, and this tickles that itch.

jimin

balletteacher!jimin x ballerina!reader by @jungshookz ✒️ this bullet point mini-series should be considered a full series already, considering the length of each drabble and how many of them exist. this is a forbidden romance between a teacher and a student with different personalities, so it's interesting and endearing how they developed their feelings over time.

i want to be with you by @oddinary4bts

a lengthy oneshot of strangers-turned-lovers and how love grows slowly between two people who are worlds apart. very well-written, i dreaded how quickly i finished reading it. i love how human jimin is in this fic. the oc is very relatable as well—very realistic and not overtly romanticized. i can easily identify myself in her if i were in her shoes.

taehyung

maybe i do by @chateautae another fic that is a mix of my favorite tropes. this fic has fewer but longer chapters. another smut-filled fic that doesn't feel overworked and serves as a good break between dramatic scenes. i love how both characters developed throughout the story.

jungkook

please love me by @ahundredtimesover i loved the complexity of the characters and how they navigated through their situation. they both had to do a lot of growing up in this fic, and it was done in a well-paced manner. the drabbles also give a lot of insight to this universe. i go back and read the drabbles a lot.

evolution of a lover's heart by @jeonstudios

a heartwrenching masterpiece. i waited a long time for this to be finished, and it did not disappoint at all. one of the most emotional and resonating fics i've read so far. my heart feels for both of them so much. the kind of love that people wish they would have.

the boy with galaxies in his eyes by @oddinary4bts

an emotionally captivating and heartwrenching oneshot that i never expected to read. both characters were well-written and well-fleshed out, it was easy to fall in love with them and understand their actions. the writing itself was really magical too—flowed so smoothly, it didn't feel as long as it actually was. an absolute hidden gem that everyone should read!

4-7-8 by @jiminrings

not the longest of fics, but a great read nonetheless. i read this a while back, and it was only after i reread it that i was able to truly appreciate the characters and their development. it has a very realistic plot that tugs at my heartstrings. everyone deserves this kind of partner and love.

our first and last by @thedefinitionofbts ✨️

if you love the concept of alternate universes and soulmates, this is a must read. the author utilized scientific concepts that i had a hard time grasping and, at the same time, supported the plot really well. i'm so glad i came across this fic.

multi-member

sanguis duology + (ongoing) oneshots by @borathae absolute monster of a fic, probably one of the longest ones i've read. even though i was annoyed at mc's stubborness, i think it was a driving force throughout the fic. i also never imagined the pairings in this, but i enjoyed the ride. there were some parts where i felt the author could've woven details better to make the story smoother, but it's charming in the sense that i need to think and connect the dots from previous chapters.

a place called home by @agustdakasuga i keep re-reading this fic every few years. i loved how each hybrid came into her life and how they eventually stayed. i also appreciate how each hybrid's personality isn't necessarily stereotypical. great pacing in each chapter, good to read if you like chaptered fics that aren't very long.

the road to you by @bonvoyagenoona

a slow burn masterpiece. this fic is a rollercoaster of experiences that is complemented by terrific writing and pacing. it's very instrospective, which is something i personally like. it has a little bit of everything and a good amount of smut, but it all works wonderfully together, the words flew by quickly.

2.4k words / oneshot

~December, 1984~ Pulling up outside the Byers household, Steve leans over to watch for a sign to come in, even though he doesn't really expect one. When he sees Jonathan quickly make his way down to the car, he straightens himself out and clears his throat, reaching a hand up to pull at his ear in an attempt to lessen the constant ringing noise thats been plaguing him since he woke up to Max driving her step-brother's car, though he knows that its futile, playing it off by scratching at his scalp when Jonathan opens the car door and climbs inside. He says something, but its too muffled to hear clearly, but he does make out "—can't come inside—"

[A] may have fibbed on their resume a little. They really needed a job, okay? It seemed like a harmless white lie— that is, until their first day at work comes. What’s worse than embarassing yourself at work?

Embarassing yourself in front of your hot new coworker, that’s what.

“I just wanted to try how it feels.” “The clothes?” Niall asked. Harry nodded. “Is that, that's too weird right, I shouldn't-” “Hey, stop it. I told you already, it's not weird. It's just how you feel. That's okay. You can try whatever you want, okay. And you can always, always talk to me. Remember that.” or Harry is confused about everything, so is Louis. At least they have Niall.

Turns out, getting snowed in with your not quite One-Night Stand wasn’t actually that bad. But the snow wouldn’t last forever. Was there a chance for love even after the snow had melted?

“Wait. So when you say you’re genderfluid, that means sometimes you’re a girl, right?” “Uh, yeah.” “So when I asked what you’d do if you were a girl and you said ‘Niall’. Does that apply now?”

Falling in love with Louis is easy enough. Separating Louis from the singer persona Harry has been a fan of for years, however, is not. But she's not the only one making assumptions.

[straykidsnerd255]

Hello!

Its ✒️ nonnie! I was wondering if you could do a Solo leveling matchup for me please and thank you!

MBTI: INFJ

Chinese zodiac: Snake

Astrological sign: Gemini

Appearance wise: I am 5'5' with brown almond shaped eyes, a button nose, and an oval face. I have pale manilla skin, a softened hourglass figure, and straight black hair that goes to my shoulders.

Overall, outfit wise, in the cooler weather, I like wearing large scarves and cozy sweaters. In the summer, I either wear loose summer dresses or athleasure due to my preference for comfort. But the overall theme is light accademia

Hobby-wise, I have quite a lot. In my free time I can be caught napping, reading, drawing, learning new things, singing (my voice is best for softer songs), playing videogames (kirby, Ender Lillies, Stardew Valley), and dancing. I actually get super shy when people find out my hobbies, especially when they catch me singing, I get flustered and become a bit of a tsundere.

Personality: I’ve been described as carrying an elegant yet intimidating vibe when people first meet me. To strangers, I am reserved and anxious. After warming up to people, I am akin to a kind grandma. People tend to come to me for advice, comfort, or just to listen. In contrast to popular belief, I am quite chaotic and philosophical. With friends, I am known to be witty, goofy, and melodramatic. At times, I am unhindged and give really chaotic advice. I've also been described as being pretty simple due to my enjoyment of the little things. But also, I've been described as a cat, since kinda just ask for hugs and leave people alone mostly (also because I like to sit on tables and stuff ajdbhsbsj). I'm not afraid to tease people who I am close to or make fun of myself either. When I'm alone, either im completely silent, sing, or talk to myself since my brain is always so busy, akin to constant radio static.

By nature, I am quite secretive despite appearing as an open book.(I am described as a "riddle, wrapped in an enigma, shoved in a beehive") It is more of I do not show off, but if not asked, I won't tell people. I’ve been described as observant and calculating because of my tendency to read people and act oblivious on purpose. I’m super dense in the events of romantic pursuit (which is ironic beacuse I'm requesting a matchup ) My world view is realistic/ pessimistic, due to past experiences (bullying and religious trauma)  and have struggled with self harm, severe depression and an ED.  Even though I am still working on it, I am in a better place now than before. I have a deep sense of self-awareness and understanding of my emotions, and I think that's why people approach me for comfort.

My love language is quality time! I don't nessessary need to be with someone 24/7, but just being able to hang out with someone doing mundane things or just going out once in a while means a lot to me. I am quite timid with physical affection (the type to ask for hugs). I also tend to worry about others more than myself, so I may neglect my own needs.

Here are some fun facts:

• I like subdued pastels or darker hues over bright colors (I have sensitive eyes)

• I like to travel or just explore places in general.

• My favorite kind of weather is either a blizzard, heavy rain/ thunderstorms, or sunny with strong winds. My favorite season is winter

• I love to learn! I am prone to hyper-fixate on topics and learn as much as I possibly can about said topic (as a result, I have a plethora of knowledge on random subjects, i.e., wine history, beer history fashion ext)

• I am a fan of the sciences (specifically environmental sciences,  sustainability, and plants)

• I am awful at math :(

• I will try anything once despite my sensitive stomach (I’ve consumed a North Carolina Reaper pepper burrito ((even had to sign a contract)) and got sick as a result

• People are really surprised that I can sing. It's to the point that people keep insisting I should join a choir (which I declined regularly, since i like to sing since its fun)

(Ps: i got carried away wity the info, but i hope its okay 😅)

I love the longer info for match-ups. It gives me more to write and I can have more creative fun with it too.  I hope that you enjoy this and hope that it's what you wanted! Thank you so much for requesting!!<3

I will match you with our beloved S Rank Healer Min Byung Gyu! (I’m still not over his death by the way. I freaking miss him so much.)

Now, Byung Gyu absolutely adores you. He would burn the world to make sure you are smiling. He’s also extremely protective of you after hearing of the trauma and the pain you have experienced. He will and would do anything for you if it means you can find the peace you deserve. He loves all your shortcomings. Byung Gyu loves playing with your hair. He loves the way it feels when he brushes his fingers through it. He finds your unhinged and chaotic side the most lovable about you. He loves seeing you act like yourself even when he is around. 

Byung Gyu loves your personality. He finds your elegant yet intimidating vibe is just you. He finds it beautiful when you open up to him for the first time. When you tell him everything about you. When you tell him how much you trust him and view him as more than just a friend. How he makes you feel safe and protected. Byung Gyu is always telling you just how much he loves you and everything about you. When you purposely leave things out, he never questions it and never asks. He knows that when you are comfortable, you will tell him the things that you didn’t tell him before. He respects your boundaries and won’t ever step over them. Byung Gyu is the king of making you feel comfortable about yourself. He is always complimenting you or making you feel special in some way or another.

The first time he found you sitting on the table, he was confused, but just shrugged, knowing how much you like sitting on tables and things. When he’s had a rough day as a healer, he just wants to sit with you on the couch and watch movies together. When Byung Gyu wasn’t having to play healer, he often sat with you on the couch while you were playing video games and he would be reading. Sometimes Byung Gyu would be sleeping on the couch, exhausted from being a hunter.

The day you told him about self harming, he wanted to use his healing on the scars. To take them away, but he also wanted you to learn to love those scars. He would kiss each of them, telling you everything he loved about them. When you are having a bad day, he will open his arms and let you choose if you want to give him a hug or not. If you decided not to give him a hug, he would lower his arms but allow you to vent to him. He would listen to you. He would console you. He would let you cry on his shoulder. He was there to protect you. If you decide to take up his offer for a hug, his arms would wrap around you, holding you gently. It felt like a blanket when he hugs you. He knows you are not too keen on physical affection, but he takes whatever he can get when you let him. 

He remembers coming by to visit you one day after a mission and heard you singing. You had given him a key to your place but he was still a gentleman and knocked on your door. He heard your singing stop and you walked to the door. When you saw him standing there, a smile on his face, you grew shy before huffing and turning away from the door. He chuckled but entered the house, shutting the door behind him and making his way to the couch, his body sore and needing rest. He finds your voice so calming that he has fallen asleep to you singing when he comes to visit. He’s always polite and always asking you if you need help with anything even if you tell him no every time.

Byung Gyu loves taking you out on little dates around the city, showing his favorite things he likes to. He loves watching you get excited. The way your eyes shine and the way that you move around to see everything. He is absolutely whipped for you. He always asks if he can hold your hand and loves when you take his hand in yours. He always keeps an eye on how you are doing. Makes sure that you are drinking water, or eating something when you look hungry or thirsty. Byung Gyu is an attentive partner,even if you don’t take care of yourself and are always fussing and worrying over others, he worries about you and if you are doing ok. 

He finds your love for learning fascinating. How you could talk about fashion for hours at a time. He would just place his chin on his fists and listen to you talk all day. When you are done about a certain topic, he will ask you to talk about others, watching your eyes light up with happiness as you start talking about a different topic. When you guys are out shopping, and he knows the place has brighter colors more than the subdued darker colors, he places a pair of sunglasses on your face. Ones that are meant to tone down the colors. You find his caring side absolutely amazing. He’s always taking care of you no matter what. After leaving the store, what used to be a sunny afternoon, became blanketed in a dark sky. Rain began pouring from the dark clouds, a loud clap of thunder filling the air. Byung Gyu remembered you telling him how much you love thunderstorms and watched you run out into the rain and spin around as another thunderclap could be heard rolling across the sky. 

When he asked you what you hated the most, your immediate answer was math. You told him just how much you hated math and watched as he laughed before nodding his head along to what you were telling him. He noticed the animated way you spoke about your dislike of math and smiled as you continued. You told him that you were awful when it came to it and that you struggled more with math than normal (I feel that. I can’t do math to save my life.) When asking about a subject you enjoyed, you immediately told him that you loved science, specifically environmental science. You could just talk about the plants all day everyday. Byung Gyu loved listening to you talk about plants just like he loved when you talked about the other things you loved. Byung Gyu just loved listening to you talk in general.

When you told him about the time you ate a North Carolina Reaper burrito, you mentioned that you had to sign a waiver about it and it ultimately ended with you getting sick because of it. Byung Gyu was worried for you but you tell him that you are ok now. You told him that you liked trying new things even if you had a sensitive stomach. Byung Gyu was amazed that even with a sensitive stomach, you were willing to try anything. One day, both you and Byung Gyu pressed back to back when you started talking. You asked him if he liked to travel, and when he said he wanted to try and travel somewhere, you mentioned a few places that you had been that you really adored. 

Remembering the time he heard you sing; he brought it up again, asking if you had ever wanted to join a choir or anything similar, but you told him that you didn’t, mainly because you liked to sing just for fun. Byung Gyu nodded his head, his eyes shifting as he looked at you, a soft smile on his face. “Would you consider singing if I was in the same room? I really like your voice; it puts me at ease.” He said, watching as your face turned bright red. Normally, you get really shy when something like that is said but with Byung Gyu, you felt happy. That night, you and Byung Gyu sat on the couch of your home, completely relaxed, reading books you both had wanted to read, as a sense of security fell over you both. ‘This is nice. I like this warm feeling.’ You thought, diving back into the book you were reading.

BIRBBBB

For the ask thing!! (Sorry there’s so many lol)

ballpoint pen: tell me about the day you’ve just had

highlighter: what are your best qualities?

felt-tip: describe your aesthetic

sketching pad: describe yourself from a stranger’s point of view

(so sorry for the delay in answering needed brainpower and laptops)

✒️ It started off as a really dead day at work at 5am (always strange fo a Saturday, of all days) and then got really really busy. I have only burned myself twice and only sipped and fell on my face once (I am fine just am a klutz and permanently in a constant battle with teamwork to make things more accessible/less likely to spill (for the love of TARDIS PLEASE DONT DROWN THE CARROTS YOU No ONE LIKES SOGGY CARROTS). I then, apparently, got even further swept up in the #the unmasking of the aussie anon debacle (you know, *that* one). Can't speak much about it, yk, messy legal stuff. I do have a lawyer I have complete trust in so I pray that justice will be delivered soon...

Just finished watching the 2011 recording of the Phantom of the Opera stage play and lskdfjlskdjflskdfj (honestly one of my favorite musicals I am a sucker for theater and a epic soundtrack). Even got to hear Andrew Lloyd Weber go 'oh Gosh' in his very British accent at the end, and it was beautiful (he currently reminds me of one of my school profs and it's making me nostalgic kinda). Now catching up on all of the Tumblr things I have been so delightfully asked in tagged in that I had no brainpower on until... well plot things happen ig.

✏️highlighter: i have an imagination, a pretty good one. I am very funny sometimes. I strive to be kind and present and empathetic. I can bake pretty good. I am trustworthy and I am friendly.

🖊️felt tip (copy and pasted from @hiddenvioletsgrow ask):"In a hole in the ground, there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort. It had a perfectly round door like a porthole, painted green, with a shiny yellow brass knob in the exact middle. The door opened on to a tube-shaped hall like a tunnel: a very comfortable tunnel without smoke, with panelled walls, and floors tiled and carpeted, provided with polished chairs, and lots and lots of pegs for hats and coats - the hobbit was fond of visitors. The tunnel wound on and on, going fairly but not quite straight into the side of the hill - The Hill, as all the people for many miles round called it - and many little round doors opened out of it, first on one side and then on another. No going upstairs for the hobbit: bedrooms, bathrooms, cellars, pantries (lots of these), wardrobes (he had whole rooms devoted to clothes), kitchens, dining-rooms, all were on the same floor, and indeed on the same passage." (Tolkien took my aesthetic and gave it to biblo, minus the hole in the ground). Think like... soft and cozy and a bit academic and warm and inviting and there's always a pot brewing for you and we can sit and do nothing or go on an adventure together dearie. Think like fantasy adventure cozy core. Low fantasy if you will.

📃 sketchpad: hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. i have two little feet with three pointed toes that I can use to perch on your shoulder. I have a pointed beak that I'm very proud of and can speak pretty fluent English. working on Spanish and pronunciation but it's a step up from birb song. I am very round and soft and good for cuddling. My plumage varies in colors from seasons but now I am decked out with raven-like plumage with a iridescent sheen to them
