oh my god a web novel that actually draws a realistic line in the sand about wierd transmigration age gaps??? the bar is so low but it sure is refreshing when a series clears it

[mushroomweather]

I’m on a reread of tcf so expect more lists soon. This is mostly for myself but have it anyways. I’m just past chapter 200 on the reread so the attack with the northern alliance is underway.

TCF TL/PR notes that made me lol

29 Cat washing face reference

1. Something like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8J_Bl9f-MTA

50 About Toonka (TL: Yet he got shipwrecked…clearly didn’t survive the sea…(PR: Perservering = Survival)

51 ( It’s a small boat that requires oars but has rooms and windows?! o.O )

57 “That’s enough thanks. If you thank me anymore, it will not feel genuine. Same thing with the apology.”

“Got it. Thank you very much.” ( (PR: You had one job.) )

59 Cale could see the still flawless Violan’s eyes turning chilly. ( :O If I didn’t know any better, I’d say this is Beacrox’s mom! )

59 “Yes, daddy.” ( I’m sorry, I just had to. It was the perfect opportunity. )

59 ( … The Henituse family is the Night’s Watch … )

68 Cale knew how Shickler had domesticated the troublemaker Archie. He beat him up. He beat up him so much that the entire ocean seemed to be filled with dust. He really beat him to a pulp while saying that a beating was the best medicine for a troublemaker. ( (PR: I pity Witira and Paseton.) TL: You mean envy. You like the pain as a masochist… )

71 Toonka got up while staggering to the side. At that moment, Cale could hear Raon’s serious voice.

– …Why is he laughing after getting hit? Does he enjoy getting hit? ( Our PR’s masochistic friend. (PR: I’m innocent I swear.) )

74 about Mueller ( (PR: I originally felt pity. Now I am thinking that we can do without one more mage.) )

76 ( (PR: Raon is a yandere…) )

110 Cale looked odd as he suddenly stopped laughing and stoically stood there. A path of silver coins was shining on top of the boiling lava. That silver light meshed well with the red-haired Cale.

“Weak human.”

“What?”

“Let me know if you don’t have enough! I am willing to give you my piggy bank!” ((PR: IT’S ADORABLE.) ) …

The king of rocks, the Giant Cobblestone that is known as the, ‘Super Rock,’ is in the land of boulders. (Really wanted to call it Dwayne Johnson )

112 Cale could see an old Elf with white hair and beard walking toward them. It was the Elf Chief. However, unfortunately, he did not have time to greet her. (I double checked the raw and it does indeed say beard but it is a woman )

114 The group all looked toward Cale at Ron’s question. He had fainted after coughing up blood. They knew that Cale was a good person who really liked to help others, but they also knew that Cale did not enjoy moving around and getting hurt. (Pfft, you’ve all been scammed to believe he’s a good person! (PR: I mean, he COULD have just ignored the Elves’ plight…) )

118 “Just what are you selling to the Whipper Kingdom that Alberu keeps laughing for no reason when he is alone?”

“… His highness keeps laughing when he is alone?” ((PR: Cale broke him.) )

129 Hannah let out a quiet chuckle. Although her poisoned body was still in pain, she was now full of vitality. Cale gently asked Hannah, who seemed to be imagining the opportunity to get her revenge. (Cale just collects people who want revenge. )

135 He could see that Tasha was looking at him with warm eyes and that the black robe was coming toward him. (Author references Mary as black robe frequently because that’s all you can see. (PR: And I hate it.) )

142 “It has been wonderful having Cage-nim here. If it is okay with you, young master-nim, I hope that Miss Cage can stay here longer.” (Went from Cage-nim to Miss Cage in one breath. New ship? Poor Taylor. )

148 ‘It’s not a matter of if I will be fine or not. I don’t think I’ll be able to differentiate. Once I start to see blood, I can’t stop myself from killing anything in front of me.’ ((PR: Hannah was the one who said that a sea of blood would be beautiful. I don’t think her blood addiction is as bad as Redika, but she definitely still has a blood addiction. Why is everyone in this novel a sadist?) )

151 The Count nodded his head multiple time as he answered.

There was a different kind of smile on his face now. Raon, who was watching the father-son duo chat while remaining invisible, started to speak into Cale’s mind.

– Human, the Count is smiling like you do when you are scamming people! It is amazing! It is very similar! ((PR: I wonder what Deruth’s young scamming years were like…) )

158 “Was it you?”

“What are you talking about, your highness?”

Alberu was certain after seeing Cale eating a cookie with an expression that seemed to be saying, ‘I know nothing.’

“It was you.”

“What was?”

“What did you do to the Vatican?”

Crunch.

Cale started to smile as he bit down on the cookie. ((PR: Cale is an innocent lil child.) )

………

‘That knight is originally from the slums.’

‘Apparently, he grew up with poor parents and many siblings, but his good character made him popular with the people in the slums and the general public. They call him a Dragon from the river. (This is an idiom for something rare. You wouldn’t normally find a Dragon coming out of a river. (PR: A-Are dragons common in other places then?) )

Alberu shocked to find out choi han is a sword master ((PR: Oh if only he knew Cale’s party’s full strength…) )

160 Huten and Metelona. ((PR: Their names sound like pokemon.) )

164 Cale ~must~ go home and spend the new year with his family ((TL: such a good boy.))

172 “Just one of the many average people.” ((TL: Just your friendly neighborhood Spider-man.) )

174 Cale quickly understood what Hong was trying to say. ((PR: I can’t even read lips, but young master Silver Light can understand animals!) )

Hi po, author-nim.

It's me na naman hihi. Salamuch for responding to my previous question, it means a lot to me 🥺(cue fangirl screaming). I have lots of other questions hihi (if you don't mind po🤭). What would be Lin's reaction to the revelation that she was taken away from Toph when she was a baby? What would be the reaction of the other the Gaang members? Better yet, Tenzin's? What would happen to Kanto and Lin's relationship afterwards?

No pressure po in responding right away, kasi baka busy ka din with your life. And the fact, na many ang questions ko this time (sorry pu, grabe na fixation ko sa AU na ito😔)

Anyway, sending you a lot of saranghes💞 Hope you have great days ahead :)

Hi, anon~

Thank you so much for showing interest in this~ it means a lot to me! 🥹🥹🥹 I might be overreacting, but I’m just really happy right now. I don’t feel like I deserve to be called “author-nim,” though😅😅😅

What would be Lin's reaction to the revelation that she was taken away from Toph when she was a baby?

After the reunion, Lin angrily told the Chief to leave, furious at her for almost killing her dad. Once she was gone, Kanto revealed everything to Lin. Initially, she was upset with her father, wondering how he could have done such things. However, she soon realized that he had been a good dad all her life, giving her everything and never speaking ill of her mom, always saying great things about her. She forgave him.

Her feelings towards Toph were complicated. She thought, if Toph had chosen family over duty, none of this would have happened. It made her question if Toph really loved her dad or if the things he said about her were true.

Bonus: The thing that broke Kanto and Toph's relationship was his connection to a gang. Kanto's father was the leader at the time, but when Kanto left the city, his dad passed the leadership to someone else and bought the land near Republic City. He loved Republic City so much that he couldn't just leave. So, he became that sweet old man with a farm.

What would be the reaction of the other the Gaang members?

Aang and Katara weren't surprised when they initially met Lin. Katara had sensed that Lin was a bender back then. They were happy to see how Lin had grown up. Though they couldn't understand why Kanto took her, they couldn't deny he had done a great job raising her.

Bumi and Kya were really surprised and both thought the same thing: "How would Tenzin process this?" Bumi was convinced that Tenzin would flip out. Kya was worried about their relationship, knowing how much Tenzin loved Lin and how this news could affect them big time.

Sokka and Suyin were both shocked. Sokka was especially upset with Kanto for causing Toph so much pain and depriving her of time with her eldest daughter. Out of everyone, Sokka had seen firsthand how broken Toph was after losing them. Oh! and it was a bit awkward for Suki, given her history with Toph, but she tried to stay supportive.

Zuko wasn’t surprised that they were alive. He had done a background check on Kanto to help with Toph’s investigation. They had only limited information about him and his dad, but they knew how capable they were. Zuko was pleased to hear the news, especially since Izumi had spoken highly of Lin from their brief meeting. Mai encouraged Zuko to send gifts or even travel to Republic City to visit them.

Tenzin's reaction

Tenzin was the most shocked among all of them. He didn't know how to process it and all he wanted was to go to Lin and ask her personally if it was true. He went over to the farm, thoughts circling his mind.

When Lin met him, she explained everything. After hearing it all, Tenzin could only say, "This won’t affect us, right? We love each other, and what happened in the past won’t change what we have now."

Lin lowered her gaze, trying to compose herself. "I need time for a while, Tenzin," she said. "We should stop seeing each other for now. My complicated family problems must be mine alone. I don't want to drag you or your family into this. I also can't shake the fact that, technically, we could be seen as cousins since my mom was married to your uncle. Even though we're not blood-related, it would cause a stir. I don’t want to cause more trouble for you."

Tenzin, tears in his eyes, pleaded, "Everything will be okay, trust me, Lin."

But Lin shook her head, her voice breaking as she said, "Please, Tenzin. Leave." Tears streamed down her face, the weight of her decision heavy on both their hearts.

What would happen to Kanto and Toph's relationship afterwards?

At the moment, Toph despises Kanto, but Kanto still has lingering feelings for her, though his love for Lin is stronger. Right now, Lin is all he can think about. They eventually discussed their next steps, now that everything was out in the open. They agreed that Lin would stay at her farm but train in earthbending with Toph. She would also need to have sleepovers with her mom’s family from time to time, to learn more about her sister Su and reconnect with Toph.

Toph also insisted on adding Lin to the family register and giving her the Beifong last name. Lin, however, pushed back, saying she didn’t want any media attention and preferred to keep things as low-key as possible. She also made it a condition that her father wouldn’t be arrested or charged with anything in exchange for accepting the name change.

(I just discovered a new Stardew Character creator—yay!)

Here's Kanto and Toph~

Hi ulit anon~ Sana okay kalang, may bagyo ngayon dito. Well, habang ginagawa ko itong reply~ Keep safe sa atin~ Also please send mo lang yung mga sks mo. I really appreciate you! 🥹😊💕

Dreaming of a Freaking Fairytale - A Fan's Journey (with spoilers!)

Ep 1-2

OH MY GOD THIS IS HILARIOUS. It's givinggg 2011-2013 Kdramas in the best way possible. Very well casted I might say, I've watched Pyo Yejin before and I've always loved her in every role I've watched her in so I already expected she was gonna nail this one too but it's my first time watching Lee Jun-young and omggg I LOVE him hahahahaha. He's so gorgeous, and the role fits him so well. Their chemistry is off the charts and it was going so well for the past 2 episodes that I was actually wondering, 'Wait, if they both like each other now, what about the rest of the episodes?' then BAM insert obligatory Kdrama fiancé. Which is hella cliché but the drama IS all about clichés so really it's just living up to it's expectations.

There's a thin line between cringe in a good way and cringe in a bad way and so far, this drama is in the good-o-meter lololol. We'll see tho in the next few episodes and dammit I'm excited. I do love my melo dramas and action packed thriller dramas but really I'm just a girl, I also crave cute, hilarious, weird sht every so often.

Ep 3-4

Can I address their names?? Hahahahaha. Cos Prince Cha min is hilarious and you kinda get it from the get go (Prince Charming = Prince Cha min) but Cinderella is a bit too Korean-ized that you don't get it until you've watched 3 episodes lololol (Just a theory this might be a stretch but Koreans put -nim as a suffix for jobs, titles, or relationship to show respect, ex. harabeonim (grandpa but probably not your own grandpa because adding -nim means that you're not that close), gisanim ("gisa"/driver is the root word, adding -nim is a polite way of saying it and mostly used when you speak directly to the person). So my theory is Cinderella 》 Cinder-nim 》 Cinder-im 》 Shin Jae rim.

Anyway back to the episodes, I looove that line about the reason why Jae rim wanted to marry rich because giiiirl I probably won't do it but I totally get it lolololol. Her ambition was revealed tho and it does not look good esp among the rich. It must've felt soo humiliating, and I can feel her pride slowly ebbing away. The ending WAS a total cliché but I loooove it, can't wait for more lol.

Also, can I just say Cha min's business is sooooo fun. It's exactly the type of business that we think about in our daydreams and when asked the question, "What would you do if you have a lot of money". Cos I'm totally going to build myself a playground for adults to have fun in, adults need it more than kids anyway.

Really happy for Jae rim and her painting, she's sooo good, I also wished she continued her passion, but I have high hopes for the next few episodes.

Ep 5-6

OH MY GOD THEY KISSED AAAAAAAAA. And I gotta say it was marvelous hahahhahaha—not the regular cutesy cutesy kissing scenes we normally see in cutesy cutesy Kdramas. Really just from the kissing scene alone I gotta give ep 5 a standing ovation lololol.

I totally expected Jae rim's visit in Do hong's studio to go horribly wrong but it's nice to be wrong for once hahahaha. We got to see his "weakness" and don't we just love to discover those? Makes the characters more human. Dan-a and Jae rim's face off tho 👀 Our girl totally held her ground with the line, "I had fun too. He's a very good kisser" YOOOOOOOOOO Imma tell you the way I gasped?? I was so gagged???

And the scene AFTER that, the way she bursted out her frustrations on Cha min and him not knowing what to do or what to say or how to make things right because in his point of view, he never meant to be cruel, everything he did was just self-preservation.

Ep 7-8

Hello??? I was so invested on that kiss and you're telling me it was a dreamscape?? Call the authorities, straight to JAIL. But on a more serious note, I love how her doubts and her fears of not being enough was easily eliminated by Cha min, and her voice over about being comforted by this was sooo heartwarming, the butterflies in my stomach won't stop churning!!

The ending was emotional but I gotta say, probably bcs we didn't get to have that many teary eye scenes so far, the scene with Cha min's mom just felt a bit I dunno, I didn't cry that's for sure. But I guess we weren't meant to cry, we were meant to feel for him and comfort him.

Ep 9-10

/sigh/ I think I just got diabetes. It was so sweeeet. Have I said Jun young is so gorgeous? Cos he's so gorgeous. I gotta tell you about 90% of the reason why I'm watching it is bcs I just gotta see him smile hahahahahahha. Happy ending all around, really cliché so I can see why some people might not like it. But I loooovee clichés, it calms my anxiety and it's sure to be a happy ending, what's not to love?

The thing about this drama tho, is it's very self-aware and doesn't take itself too seriously and I think that's part of the reason why it's so charming (pun intended). 10/10 cutesy ending I got what I came in for and I'm happy about that, satisfied customer here! Hahahahahaha

[dojae-huh]

Hii huh nim!! How's everything going with your work? It's the end of the year, so I'm curious if you've been productive enough. Did you manage to have some free weekends to go hiking and do some workouts? Taking care of your health, both physically and mentally, is really important. Just like Jae said, mental health matters too. By the way, have you drawn anything recently? How's your progress? And how are the animals you're working with? Do they listen to you well?

Anyway, I just wanted to send this message to appreciate your work on this blog. It's not easy to observe and analyze things, but you're amazing! You've done a great job with everything you've worked on here. I have a lot of respect for you. Seriously, there were times when I eagerly waited for your insights on NCT or Jaedo. Haha! I hope you find happiness and have a future full of success. I also hope you can be even more productive in the future, just the way you want. And if blogging brings you joy, I really hope you can do it forever. Since it's Christmas, I hope you enjoy the holidays and spend some quality time for yourself. Thank you so much for your hard work, and I wish you an advanced Merry Christmas. Keep fighting!

(Ps: I wish to read this blog completely...since it's my exams dont have enough time...pls dont delete it..🙏😄)

Hi, thank you for the kind wishes. I hope your holidays will be festive as well. And good luck with the exams.

I'm never as productive as I'd like to be. I'm a human with low energy levels. Doesn't stop me from doing crazy things, but I require breaks between them.

I draw for work currently, but not for myself. I did start drawing something non-work related as I planned, however, I'm still on the first stage (practice of skills, nothing really creative, just exercises for the eye and the hand). The animals I worked with were wild animals... they never listen, heh.

As for the blog... I've been writing fandom-related blogs for many years, so it's a habit hard to shake off. I do regret from time to time how much of my time it eats up. We are all too used to socmed and spending time on the Internet instead of doing something useful. I won't delete the blog, it continues to serve its initial puprose, but I'm thinking of moderating the questions more.

This year wasn't bad. I visited two new countries and made into reality an old wish of mine. It's still a transitional period, lots of work ahead to achieve the future I want (when it's not...).

Oh, I should be working on a book with my own text and illustrations... I keep postponing it because of the other urgent things (like earning money for rent), but I created this opportunity myself, and I'll be paid as the author and the artist. And I need to finally sit myself on a chair and write a scientific paper I've been running away from for months as well, I should publish the data I've collected... so, lots of projects for 2024 are already in line.

[asyliah]

okay but that soft Dom pantalone fic?! Fucking adorable ong

Can we see what aftercare is like w him?

—﹒₊˚﹕AFTERCARE HEADCANONS ﹒🜸

🜸𓂃 Fluff ⸝⸝ Pantalone being so loving <3 ⸝⸝ Gender-neutral reader ⸝⸝ ModernAu

🜸𓂃 Author-nim: I INSTANTLY DROP WHAT I DID AND MY HANDS STARTED TO WRITE THHS. I WAS BLUSHING THE WHOLE TIME 😻😻 HOPE U LIKE THIS ANON <3 . Tumblr getting buggy all the time sighss

‹𝟹ㆍAfter Pantalone released himself into you, he would shower kisses on your every inch of skin. He is a romantic man in heart, he may be sadistic and do sinful things─but when it comes to his darling he is the most careful guy in the world. Treating you like some kind of fragile glass.

‹𝟹ㆍ He would carry you in a bridal style if you cant walk from the spicy deed 👉👈 And would def do a nose bop (nose kiss) while he carry you from the bathroom.

‹𝟹ㆍA moment to blush hard when he gives you the most high-quality bath experience. Like he is rich and those products gotta cost like 1 million morae 🙀 When he saw you so astounded with the cost of the product, he would just chuckles. ( hshshhshshs LawdF STOP IM BLUSHING)

‹𝟹ㆍ Prepare to have the good time of your life and experience top-tier massage. His fair, long, and slender hands pressed softly on your waists, drawing smooth strokes to make you feel relaxing. Pantalone boasts that he is good with hands 😼 and I wonder what those hands can do more.

While he was working his hands to ease the pain in your waist. He saw visible red marks and he grinned thinking how he did a good job. " You know these hands can massage elsewhere too ☺," he said, while you throw a disgusted glare on him. " No." You answered back slapping the back pf his hands.

‹𝟹ㆍHe gives me the vibes of buying take-out food, but if he is too lazy to contact someone and you were too hungry. Pantalone would cook for you (simp). How good is his cook? Oh-- 6/10 😸 He rarely cooks, because he never goes home since he used to be busy with those edgy works. You were an exception though. He would only cook salad or breakfast. Would baby you while feeding you and tried to pinch your cheeks. ANYWAYS LISTEN! HE HAS A "KISS THE COOK" APRON AND HE WOULD WEAR IT WHILE HE IS SHIRTLESS. He purposefully looked so hot while he just only cook an egg smh. (oh no, my inner fantasies are acting up again)

Bonus: Would pamper you a lot and give you puppy eyes whenever.

The offer(Chapter 4)

1.7k words

Y/N's POV

I walked into the nearest "The Twosome Place"  with that Yuna girl, she's wearing her hood once again and had her sunglasses on. With her mask on too, she was almost impossible to recognise

"One caramel macchiato, and one..." Yuna said, nudging me in the shoulder

"An espresso, thank you."

"So, Y/N, care to tell me abit about yourself?" "Well, erm, I'm Y/N as I told you, I'm an only child, before...before both my parents perished in a car accident." "I'm so sorry to hear that." "Don't be, You aren't the drunk bastard who killed them. There isn't much I remember about them though. I was orphaned at 5, no foster families or adoptive parents wanted me, no relatives to take me in either, so I stuck around at the orphanage until I was 14, then left to earn money. Couldn't really earn money while studying either, so I dropped out of high school to do odd jobs. That's my life so far I guess. How about you?" "Well, my name is Shin Yuna, and as I assume you can't tell, I am a Kpop Idol." The cogs began to click in my head. I saw her on some Music videos. Hmm, no wonder she looks so pretty. Wait what? You didn't hear that. Anyways, back to her "I'm a member of ITZY, I graduated from the Hanlim Arts School, and I'm in the middle of a comeback with my group."

She then began rambling about her life and members, as she seemed like an infinite ball of energy, but, something was a little weird.

"What about your family?"

Hearing that, she tensed up, and a sour look overcame the face that was so full of light just a moment ago. Oh shit, fuck fuck fuck, I pissed her off

"I'm so sorry, I'm sorry, we don't have to talk about them if you don't want to."

"No, it's fine, you told me about your family, it is only right I tell you about mine. I was abandoned by my parents. They don't want anything to do with me, and I don't want anything to do with them. All I have, all I had left was my Sister."

"Had?"

"She's....missing I guess. I haven't seen her in a very long time, and I miss her a lot."

"That's horrible. I'm sorry you had to go through that. Have you tried finding her? Or the local authorities-"

"I'm sorry Y/N, could we not? Please?" She said as I saw beads of little water droplets drip from her eyes.

"Yeh, no worries, soooo, Could you tell me why we're having coffee together?" I said, trying my best to change the topic and cheer her up, which seem to kind of work, as I saw her wipe her tears and force out a little smile.

"Ah, yes. So, my group has been needing a Personal Assistant to help us around the dorm, but we don't really want someone who's a fan. Don't get me wrong, I love all our fans, but it would be a little weird to have a fan be our personal assistant. And you obviously don't know us from the fact that you didn't recognise me at the store. We want someone who's nice, kind, and you fill in the box nicely. Plus, and I say this with the least amount of offence intended, but even before we chatted, I could guess you needed a job."

"Hey, what is that supposed to mean?"

"It means, Y/N, you look like a hobo."

"Rude, but not wrong....Job sounds enticing though, and to be perfectly frank I need the money. What would my duties entail?"

"Pretty basic stuff, help us buy stuff we need, accompany us out should we need it, cooking and cleaning if necessary, but we usually clean up after ourselves so it should not be much of a problem. If need be, you will need to help our manager keep track of our schedules and escort us for practices and what not. Your meals will be provided for and you'll live in our dorm."

"That sounds good, but me, stay in a dorm with 5 girls? Seems a tad inappropriate doesn't it?"

Yuna smirked before reaching over the table and poking me in the cheek, saying, "Well. unless you're a pervert who plans to do unspeakable things to 5 young maidens, then I think we'll be fine."

I blushed at the sudden skin ship as I shook my head as she smirked. "Good, I'll tell JYP-nim, he'll interview you soon and if he accepts, you'll get the job. In the meantime, shall we chat a little more?"

There, hours seemed like minutes as Yuna and I chatted it up like old friends. She couldn't seem to stop, like a boundless battery had been attached to her. She told me stories about her members, her schoolmates and her life for the recent years, as I looked at her with amazement. We had not met for more than a day, but she seemed so overjoyed to have someone to genuinely talk to. I guess being an Idol is pretty lonely too. Through it all, her smile remained ever so vibrant. It was really refreshing. Suddenly, something flashed into my mind, she looks so familiar, like she was in my dream. Her name was, Gaeul I think? I'd never seen her before though.

"Getting bored of me already?" Yuna pouted as she saw me space out, as I shook my head and said, "Sorry, had a weird dream last night and something popped in my head, what did you say?" "JYP-nim is ready to see you, a car will be sent to pick us up in 20 minutes"

At JYP building

"Ah, Y/N, come in and take a seat."JYP said as I knocked on his door

I sat down in front of his office desk and flashed a small smile, only to be met with a stony stare

"Before we continue, I need you to understand one thing. I treat all my artists like my kids, and if anyone does anything to hurt or endanger them, I will see to it they have no future, anywhere. Is that clear?" "Yes Sir." "Now, before I hire you, I'd like to ask, who in the world are you? My people ran some background checks on you, and we found almost nothing. It's like you haven't existed until very recently. Why is that?" "Well, I'm unsure of that sir. Maybe you need to hire better people." I said, with a slight chuckle, before collecting myself once again under the now both stony and disapproving stare of JYP. Small talk, not my strong suit. "Well, to be honest, I am unsure why information on me is limited, and if that were to make you not trust me, I understand that, there's nothing I can do about that, lost most of my documents ages ago, however, What I can do is promise you that I will take care of your girls to the best of my abilities. I am new to this, and I will falter, but I will do my utmost. That much I can promise you." JYP continued staring at me, seemingly assessing me for any tells of me lying to him, before giving me a small smile and saying, " Well, that's good to hear. Under normal circumstances, I wouldn't be able to hire you if I wanted to, as an enigma is hard to trust, however, as Yuna personally vouched for you, I will make an exception. Aish, never been able to say no to that girl. Don't let me down kid." I smiled as I was jumping for joy in my head. First Semi-Stable Job I've ever had, and my employers seem to be really nice. This is great!

I walked out and looked at Yuna, who smirked at me. "Got it?" "How did you-" "JYP-nim doesn't know how to say no to me hehe. Let's go to your apartment to pack up your things, then I'll bring you to your new home."

Yuna and I walked into my grey box as a look of shock overcame Yuna's face "You live here? No offence but our toilet is bigger than this." "Hey, this apartment is the best that no money can buy. Don't judge alright, taking care of you girls is the first stable job I've had." Yuna slithered up to me, grabbing my arm again and resting her chin on my shoulder "I'm your hero, aren't I." I blushed once again, this girl is too damn cute, she's like a temptress or something, and she loves skin ship way too much I quickly swiped her hand off as she chuckled and watched as I packed. Literally a minute later, we were headed out of my grey box. What, did you expect me to need boxes? I have like 4 outfits, the bed came with the apartment, and other than that, I had just a small bag of insignificant junk.

As we headed to ITZY's dorm, Yuna fell asleep next to me. Like she trusted me, just like that. I could never, years of being treated like garbage by everyone left me with a healthy dose of trust issues. She looked so cute in her sleep though, her lips looked so--- oh for god sakes Y/N keep it in your pants. You work for her now. Fuck it up and she can simply fire you. Gotta be on my best behaviour.

Once we reached the dorm, I gently shook Yuna, as she groggily woke up, and somehow, just like that, she was up on her feet and as energetic as ever. How? I swear this woman is not human.

She grabbed my hand and pulled me to the dorm. Opening the door, I saw four other faces. Two of them were closer up front, one with a neutral look and the other clearly with an unhappy face. Two other behind had small smiles as they timidly waved at me.

One of the girls who was in front, who kinda looked like that one Dragon, mumbled "Girls, hurry."

The other girl who was already in front rolled her eyes, as she stepped forward, with the two behind stepping up too, and Yuna joined them too, a smile etched on her face.

"Hana, Dul,Ses, all in us, hello, we are ITZY." The five said in unison.

"Hi, I'm Y/N, I'll be your assistants."

"Y/N, lets gooooo." Yuna said as she tugged me by the hand and rushed me in, past 4 very different girls, with different thoughts and feelings towards me.

This is gonna be interesting.

In the Dark

Knull sat upon his throne, holding a holovid projector as he looked, seeing a masked figure who glared back at him.

"You called for me?" "Yes my pet, I have been informed that the Prince of the Gap dimension has been banished to Earth. His information has just been sent to you.You are to kill him for me, or you know what happens. This prince has a bracelet on him, enchanted to always protect him from any harm. However, like all that the highfather does, it is flawed. The enchantment can be overwritten and will be deactivated if the prince fully and completely trusts them." The masked figure glared at him, rolling their eyes but said nothing. Obedience to Knull was forced, there was no choice involved. "The false gods and self-appointed defenders of the Earth. They shall pay for their hubris, and you shall be the piece that shatters them." "Yes my liege" In the background, Knull could hear some commotion

"Jisoo unnieeeeee, hurryyyyy" Knull chuckled," Ah your humans are always whining huh." "May I be excused." "Go, and I expect results. You know what happens if I do not get them."

Misfits

pairing :: reader insert! w/ lee know word count (chapter) :: 2.5k chapter count :: 1/?  genre :: historical au!, enemies to lovers, mostly fluff + adventure 

description ::  in which you and minho are travelling bandits who steal things for a living, but he has an uncanny talent for getting in your way and finding where you are. also known as me speed-running the enemies to lovers trope and squeezing it into the span of god knows how many chapters.

note :: I say 'enemies to lovers', when it's really a combination of witty banter and increasing sexual tension. there is a plot if you squint hard enough, but honestly it's mostly the reader running away from minho and minho squirreling his way back into their heart. 

also there is smut, but it’s later in the story. 

see the end for historical notes if you’re interested!

schedule :: updates every tuesday until it finishes! 

the three kingdoms, despite how strong and fortified they seem from the outside, are ultimately the best place to be a bandit. for one, each kingdom has a rivalry with the other two, which makes it easy for criminals to slip unseen between one or the other. for another, the kingdoms are so constantly at war with each other that the officials don't really have time for anything except for warfare, and politics. which means that none of the authorities would bother themselves with the likes of you, a thief traversing across the lands making a living by picking pockets, charming people and sometimes reselling whatever you took. Well, not necessarily in that order.

having travelled between the borders countless numbers of times, the guards are already familiarised with the sight of you and your horse as you approach the gates. grinning, one of them starts to ease the large city gates open. "I see you're back, _______-nim."

in return, you smile back, pulling a small pouch from one of the bags hanging from your horse's back. "how can I forget such a beautiful city, yoon-nim?"

he laughs, and you toss the pouch at him, before leading your horse through. "remember to share it, yoon-nim!" you call back, and the gates close behind you. bribing the guards isn't really part of the job description, per se, but you make sure to do it anyways. it always helps to have an ally somewhere, somehow. and it's especially important if you're being chased on horseback by someone from another kingdom, when they actually find out and actually give a damn. which is also why you decided to make baekje your refuge and sanctuary of sorts - you know you'll always be safe here.

the city of sabi is as busy as always, with its bustling marketplaces and everyone milling around with an agenda in mind. not only are there merchants from baekje walking around, selling their goods, but also merchants from china, japan, and some other manner of dress that you've never seen before. you smile and take a deep breath, the fresh ocean air never failing to be refreshing and relaxing. "_______-ssi!"

at the sound of your name, you whirl around and spot yeon, one of the shopkeepers that you're most familiar with in the city. "you back from another trip?"

"yeah, just came back from goguryeo." leading your horse on with the reins, you near his store, leaning closer to scrutinise his goods. "the wars there are terrible - I just managed to escape."

"I suppose you didn't manage to get as many pickings as you used to, then?"

"hmmmm," you hum absent-mindedly, intentionally avoiding his question. shopkeepers, regardless of their facade, are all the same - all they want are goods they can buy off others at a low price, then selling them at a much higher price and wheedling you to buy it until you give in. you've long since learnt the art of bartering, but it's always a tricky business, and a thin line to tread. picking up one of the jade pieces in his store, you hold it up to the light. "how much is this?"

yeon frowns at not receiving an answer. However, he takes it from you nonetheless. "this isn't worth any oshuchon. I'll give it to you for three bolts of hemp." setting the piece of jade onto his table, the shopkeeper taps it a little thoughtfully. "you can get it to a blacksmith, smooth it out, and take it to the jeweler's. hong would probably be able to make something out of it. he'd take it off your hands for three oshuchon, easily."

"that's a good suggestion," you agree, turning around to your horse to get the bolts of hemp from your bag. however, just as you're about to hand over the material, a hand comes out of nowhere and places down two pieces of silver on the counter. "I'll take it for two oshuchon."

instantly, you whirl around in indignation to see who it was disturbing your transactions, and is surprised to see the hand belonging to a handsome young man. however, he barely spares you a glance, merely a lazy flicker of eyes to your direction before being directed back to yeon, who is standing there baffled. "two oshuchon?" he prompts, cocking his head.

"b-but sir," taken aback, yeon seems to lose his words for a moment. clearing his throat, he starts again. "but sir, that piece of rough rock is barely worth anything. three oshuchon is what I predict for what it could become, not for its current price." he pauses. "you'll be wasting your money if you're spending this much."

"two oshuchon," the young man repeats. "take it, or leave it." and of course, being the shopkeeper that he is, there is no way yeon will refuse such a generous offer. he quickly snatches up the silver pieces in the offered palm, and hands the customer the stone. giving yeon a brief nod, he pockets the jade piece, but just as he's about to leave, you come back to your senses. "hey!" you grab the man's wrist to prevent him from leaving. he sighs, as if you're the one bothering him instead of vice versa. "what?"

"I was here first. I had my eye on the jade piece first." your eyes narrow, and you frown. he scowls and wretches his wrist out of your grasp. "the hell you barging in and just snatching my purchase from me?" the man rubs his arm resentfully, before scoffing. "well, the shopkeeper agreed to my purchase. I paid for it fair and square, and he accepted it." he pauses, a small smirk appearing on his face. "I don't see what the problem is."

furious at his seemingly unbothered demeanor, your blood starts to boil. "well I do! if you don't know, this country has its own set of rules, and its own set of traditions. come to think of it, even if you're not from baekje you should've been taught manners. or are you not even capable of that, you bastard?"

the smirk slides off his face, and his eyes narrow in return. a sense of satisfaction settled over you as you successfully rile him up, but just before he could respond Yeon quickly intervenes in the fight. "Now, now. ________, I have other jade goods as well, why don't you take a look at them? and sir," he bows at the young man, an action that makes you scoff in disbelief. "my apologies for my acquaintance. they mean well." at his words, your eyes widen in indignation, but before you can put in another word yeon's glare silences you. the young man nods, satisfied, having gained victory. "you'll do well to remember your place, peasant." laughing, he spins on his heel, and walks away.

still furious, you wheel on yeon. "what's that for?"

the shopkeeper raises his head and cocks an eyebrow at you. "don't you know who that man was?"

"why would I know who that insolent brat is?"

yeon blinks, then guffaws loudly. "insolent brat, eh? I'd think that was a more appropriate title for you, ______." he pokes your cheek affectionately, but you brush him off, annoyed. sensing your mood, the shopkeeper clears his throat, sobering. "that 'guy' is one of the most fearsome figures in all of the three kingdoms. no one knows where he's from, or what his name is, but his nickname is the 'white wolf'. and there are pretty wild stories about him out there too."

"like what?"

he shrugs, and slides the silver pieces into his pouch. "apparently he rode all the way to daxing in china in the span of two months and came back with his bags full of Chinese treasures, fighting back guards on the way back. he managed to enter the city gates of goguryeo just in time, and to lessen the king's fury at leading the enemy right up to their gates even visited him to offer all the goods he had. And legend has it, when he was dining with the king, he was asked to show his military skills and managed to defeat the goguryeo's top generals." yeon ducks under the table and rummages around. "of course, whether that's true or not, no one knows. now!" the shopkeeper places a smooth, white stone in front of you. "this is by no means as high quality as that piece of jade, but it's a rare gem from the shores of silla. one bolt of silk, how about that?"

you hesitate, before an idea crosses your mind. "do you have any blades?"

night soon falls, and you find yourself drifting towards the guesthouses by the river, feet weary and in desperate need of rest after a long day of bargaining. most of the goods you've hauled back (coughs, stolen) from goguryeo has been sold off to the sabi merchants, but they'd been filled with baekje goods in return, through actual, legitimate means. All in all, a fruitful day, and you were negotiating with the proprietress for a warm meal after having put your bags in the room upstairs, when you saw him.

instantly, your fingers close around the dagger hanging on your waist. yeon had tried and failed to convince you not to purchase the blade, having guessed correctly that you wanted to go after the so-called 'white wolf' and chop his head off with it, but you'd manage to persuade him otherwise by handing over two pieces of oshuchon. the knife definitely wasn't worth that much, but you could see it's sturdy and will last you at least three years before being demoted to scrap metal. plus, the handle is laden with actual silver. with any luck, you can resell it for double its price.

the infuriatingly familiar young man is sat at one of the wooden tables, a steaming bowl of something sitting in front of him untouched, mainly because he's conversing with some of the other individuals sat around the table. it's clear that the other men are all listening to him, a spell-bound expression on their faces as they're in awe of whatever he's sharing. for some reason, him having so much attention irks you so much that you find yourself on your feet, having sat down and waiting for a meal after successfully guaranteeing a room for yourself.

"what are you talking about?" you drop yourself casually on one of the seats surrounding him, a bowl of makgeolli in hand. the annoyed expression on his face tells you that you've clearly interrupted him in the middle of something particularly interesting, and you savour it as you sip the rice wine. "oh, I'm sorry, were you saying something important?"

"he just got to the part where he meets the king of goguryeo," one of the surrounding men chimes in, and the 'white wolf' frowns in annoyance.

"oh, I know about that." you prop your feet onto the wooden surface of the table, boots brushing against his bowl of broth. "he was then asked to show his fighting skills and beat all of goguryeo's top generals' ass. very impressive. or so they say." you sip casually from your bowl again, and points it at him. "is that even true, mr white wolf?"

some of the men who were listening with wide open eyes a few moments ago start sniggering, and the smirk on his face slides right off. he leans in, the look in his eyes dangerous, with an undertone of a threat. "are you challenging me now?" you swallow under his gaze, but doesn't waver. "why, afraid of your lack of credibility?" you retort.

"at least he has legends spoken about him." one of the - braver, you assume - men speaks up. "what have you done, young fellow?"

"i'd say having the ability to properly piss off the white wolf is pretty high up on my list." tearing your gaze off the aforementioned man, you set down your drink and direct your glare to the one who has spoken, and your smirk seems to have set him off as he lunges forward, grabbing your collar. "perhaps the next one is slitting your throat?"

"enough!" the proprietress has overheard your argument, and she is bustling to the table you're all centered around. even you don't dare anger her - it has always been known that proprietresses are one of the most frightening people throughout the three kingdoms. the man immediately drops his grip on the front of your shirt, and you slump back onto your chair, coughing. "start a fight in my inn again, and you'll pay dearly." she glares at the man who just turned the fight physical. "and you," she directs her eyes to you, though as you wipe the spit off the corner of your mouth, her eyes soften, just a little. "stop starting arguments."

"yes ma'am," He mumbles, and you know better than to argue, satisfying her with a nod. "good." Immediately, she spins on her heel and heads back to wherever she came from - likely settling accounts. the mood broken, the men clearly lost their interest in the white wolf's stories and go back to their meals, though you can still sense their annoyance from some side glances being sent your way.

however, for one person the issue has yet to be settled. after you manage to prop yourself upright on your seat, and is about to reach for the bowl of maekgolli you were nursing, a knife is driven between you and the drink, the sharp blade missing your hand by a few inches. you look up, annoyed, and meet the white wolf's eyes. "what are you playing at?" He hisses, a hand on the knife's handle.

"what are you playing at?" you retort back. "trying to be some kind of bigshot, telling these men lies about all your glory and achievement or whatever the fuck you're trying to achieve through these stories?"

he scowls. "can you prove that I'm lying?"

"I can't prove that you're telling the truth," you reply, cocking your eyebrow at him. you know you're playing with fire, but you don't care. for some reason, these verbal clashes sent a shot of adrenaline through your veins, and you like the feeling. maybe it's because of the influence of alcohol, but you're certainly in no mood to back down, lest of all from a fight, and you can feel the tension rising as you feed the flames between you two. when he doesn't reply, you decide to mock him further. "why, scared now that your lies are exposed?"

suddenly, he stands up, the abruptness causing his chair to clatter to the ground with a loud crash, bringing attention to him again - but this time, he's occupied with you jumping at the sound, and he smirks. "why, scared of a chair?" he mocks, copying your tone. furious, you jump up, and he laughs as he heads outside, a clear invitation to follow him.

fucker.

mlqc | sunday morning

I recently (well~like three months ago) got into this game called Mr Love: Queen’s Choice, and after doing some ‘research’ aka gaming, I felt confident enough to write something. So, here’s a little headcanon about a blissful Sunday morning with the boys~

Warning(s): ever so slightly NSFW (insinuations of a dirty-minded author), profanity/swearwords

Victor

Victor’s quite the workaholic, as we all know

like this man will be working 60-70 hours a week, often bringing work home with him 

you’ll be on the couch in pajamas and acting like a total bum while he’s literally next to you wearing glasses and breezing through 50 reports and documents

you steal his laptop and glasses when he starts criticising your report 

“Victor noooooooo~work mode OFF!” as you zoom past him with his prescription glasses (he got them fancy glasses with the blue light filter because he’s A WORKAHOLIC and he’s always staring at a computer)

needless to say, this man doesn’t usually have time to spare

sunday mornings are yours though

Victor doesn’t necessarily take the entire day off, but after a certain dummy’s whining, he has agreed to try and have a lie-in on sundays

he *usually* still wakes up before you, because he functions on like 5 hours of sleep (lemme tell y’all, it’s a curse and a blessing in one) 

Vic’s a total tsundere, but these moments definitely show off his #SoftCEO side

his little lovebug is sleeping peacefully, wearing one of his pyjama shirts (I bless you with the headcanon that Victor sleeps in silk pyjama pants sans shirt because he runs HOT)

actually, you’re drooling a little bit but even though Victor’s going to pretend he’s annoyed, he never is

oOOhh, also canon that this man is the big spoon in sleeping positions. he naturally gravitates towards you and holds you tight because he’s NEEDY

sometimes you’ll sleep facing each other. Victor holds you against his chest and just cradles your body in his like his life depends on it

100% will entangle his long ass legs with yours

strokes your hair and presses kisses on the crown of your head to wake you up in a gentle way (despite his demeanour, he’s actually remarkably gentle y’all see why i call him #SoftCEO?)

as you wake up, he’ll mock your bedhead with this incredibly fond look in his eyes baby boy these words don’t match your actions

you guys actually get up rather soon after, cos you are both busy people...

fun times in the bathroom not like tHAT well actually kinda~ but for legal reasons everything you do is PG, please spare author-nim who’s still ~barely~ underage

you take a shower and belt your favourite song that’s playing from the built-in speaker (did Victor get a built-in speaker because you thought it was cool? yep. did you ask? nope. did he do it anyways? yehep.) while he goes through his simple morning routine

you probably have more steps in your skincare routine, but he uses a serum, cleanser, moisturizer and some eye cream on the daily

has given you permission to do his skincare at night whenever you both have time

to reciprocate, he dries your hair after your shower you guys HAVE listened to the Right Beside You ASMR, right? ...it’s on YT for free because we’re poor, i know

also canon, blowing raspberries on Victor’s bare back while he’s brushing his teeth will make him choke on toothpaste. tested and approved by MC

“Dummy. What on earth are you doing?”

he hangs around and waits for you to get ready if he’s already done, you do the same. time is something Victor knows all too well, so the precious time he has, he wants to spend with you.

you guys DON’T shower together in the morning because really you’re not getting cleaner ahhh author-nim should really stop

afterwards, you get dressed in some relatively casual clothes (i’m talking a dress shirt without a tie or a polo shirt because no way that this man owns actual t-shirts) and have a simple breakfast

he cooks, obviously. 

always makes a balanced, Chinese breakfast (congee or wonton, noodles, tofu pudding, etc.) because he wants you two to start the day well, even on a slow sunday

also, he travels a lot, so he likes eating Chinese food whenever he’s home

ahh...waking up with Victor just sounds like a dream

Lucien

i’m a bit biased on this bitch because he was my first favourite in the game so this might get long. might not. just,,,we’ll see

Lucien is a bit like Victor, where he doesn’t sleep much and works a lot

On the other hand, his work is...ehem...shadier, so he usually works in his office when he’s at home

you’ll both have your own space to do whatever you need to do

days off for Lucien are rare. he usually powers through until he drops

for someone who constantly reminds you to take care of yourself, he’s mediocre at doing exactly that

after getting to know him better, which wasn’t an easy feat because damn this man has more layers than an onion he’ll also make you cry more bUUT we’re not ready to unpack that suitcase, you start noticing when he needs a day off. often even before he notices

you lock his office door and force him to take the FULL day off at least

he could technically open his office again, but he loves you and he’ll humour your attempts

Lucien wakes up before you. always. you’ve seen him asleep like 3 times in your entire relationship. 

Luci sleeps like 8 hours,,,a week.

he watches you sleep i feel like that makes too much sense for his character. we love a creepy boy. and wholeheartedly feels at rest with your sleeping figure by his side

in his sleep, Lucien lies on his back, holding you by the waist as you sleep on top of him. your leg is often slung around his middle, so you’re enveloping him. he likes the weight of you on top of him; it keeps him grounded and he likes feeling like he’s yours as much as you are his.

on another note, Lucifer—ah whoops—sleeps butt naked. i honestly can’t imagine him wearing clothes in bed. he’s not shy about his body and feels absolutely no need to cover up for his significant other. 

you, however, don’t usually sleep naked. well...nowadays you end up sleeping naked more often than not because alright author-nim’s horrible. can’t help it, he’s a fucking scorpio?

because you guys take a day off, Lucien’s content with waiting and watching until you wake up

he feels you stir on his chest and honestly your drowsy eyes make him swoon

“Already awake, my beautiful butterfly?”

his slightly husky morning voice *really* does things to a person tbh

you guys stay in bed for a good half hour after you wake up, just cuddling and talking, also sneaking in a kiss here and there

you have the same habit of tracing each other’s bodies with your fingertips

his fingers flutter over your waist, you trace his chest or hands with your index again, it’s a very grounding experience to Lucien

when you do get up and head to the bathroom, first thing you do is shower together

he likes washing your hair

bathroom bits might happen, but surprisingly, it’s not a thing that happens a lot so don’t come at me. we’re being wholesome

Lucien’s incredibly intimate and his love language is touch. Yes, he has a way with words but he’s also a really good manipulator

he’s used his words for evil too often and therefore can’t trust words anymore. so he uses physical intimacy as a way to show love.

Lucien has a skincare routine of dermatologically approved products. a double cleanse, serum, essence and moisturizer. he uses anti-age sometimes to prevent later wrinkles.

they’re also one of the reasons why he smells clean and fresh

will tickle you when you’re rinsing your mouth. you’ve sprayed water all over the bathroom mirror before. he loves the reaction. 

if you’re having a day off, you’ll probably just wear sweatpants and a t-shirt or a sweater. Lucien’s closet is relatively plain but clean. he has the best cable-knit sweaters/cardigans though.

your breakfast consists of western things like yogurt or oatmeal. Lucien likes having fruit at the start of the day

the rest of the day is spent relaxing and lounging, walking in the park, biking, reading, drawing, whatever you’d like

maaan...i wish i had more days off

Gavin

Gavin’s actually a decently laid-back person on weekends

like, sure he has to work a lot, but his job doesn’t necessarily force him to work from home, so you pretty much have his full attention at home but also he can’t bear to not give you his full attention so what are we expecting

the nasty thing about Gavin being a police officer is that sometimes, he gets called up and needs to work at unconventional hours

also, he gets injured. most of his injuries are minor, but that doesn’t stop you from worrying.

but anyways, he’s not a total busy bee when he’s at home, and relaxing isn’t exceptional

sunday mornings are...well...active. Birdcop goes on a run/hits the gym every morning, so he’s awake by 6am. what did y’all think i was going to write

afterwards, he takes a quick shower and joins you in bed again. 

Gavin sleeps in a pair of basketball shorts and a singlet. he’s somewhat shy about sleeping shirtless, and god forbid he sleep naked. but it’s all good and he respects your boundaries. besides, he’s comfortable in his sleep and that’s all that matters.

you spoon in your sleep. sometimes, he’s the big spoon because he likes being able to ‘protect’ you in his sleep. other times, he relishes in the comfort of being the little spoon and feeling you pressed up against his back. 

very important headcanon! you’ve learnt to sleep with the bedroom window open. on workdays, Gavin gets home late and jumps right into the bedroom. it’s become a typical habit for you two, although you used to be grumpy about not being able to sleep with the noises of traffic. 

you’re usually awoken by the sound of the shower and Gavin’s humming it’s canon that he hums now, bitches. also I bet his singing voice is amazing

so it’s less ‘sleeping in’ and more ‘lounging in bed like the lazy bastards you are’ i’m kiDDING

if he’s able to, Gavin might convince you to go on a run with him....but let’s be honest, you rarely agree

Gavin’s a total cuddlebug though, so be prepared to spend the next forty-five minutes in the tightest hug ever (to be fair, you’re not complaining)

he’s completely soft for you and you’ll have to wrestle out of his grip to get to the bathroom

you don’t shower in the morning, so everything’s pretty quick

Gavin doesn’t actually have a good skincare regiment tbh...he’ll slap on some cream and that’s it. probably washes his face in the shower with body wash...AND HIS SKIN STILL LOOKS AMAZING

you like making funny faces in the mirror while brushing your teeth and making Gavin laugh while he’s watching you in the doorway. he loves how you just make his day with the smallest things.

you guys both dress in really casual clothing, like hoodies and shorts/sweatpants/pj pants unless you’re going somewhere

Gavin has them grey sweatpants, if you know what I mean okay I’ll chill, sorry~

you wear his shirts a lot because they’re super big on you and Gavin secretly not-so-secretly thinks you’re adorable in them (a good thing about Gavin is that he’s easy to read; he blushes rather quickly)

“Ahh...it’s just—you look so tiny and cute.” guess he’s not the only one blushing now

i see Gavin as a ‘bun for breakfast’ kind of person. he picks them up at the stall a couple of miles away when he heads home. sometimes he does so running, other times...well he’s not called Birdcop for nothing

you guys have 2 buns each for breakfast because they’re delicious 

lounge time is often spent gaming or cleaning the house (you’re both busy people and Gavin tends to get messy because he just chucks clothes on the floor after a hard workday)

you make the most out of your sunday, hoping Gavin doesn’t get called in

who wouldn’t like being domestic with Gavin?

Kiro

Kiro, unsurprisingly, has an incredibly busy schedule

one that, similar to Gavin, isn’t really decided by himself

i suppose his situation is a tad bit worse than Birdcop’s, since his workdays don’t even actually end when he gets home. he constantly practices choreos, singing, etc. at home

so, full days off are few and very, very far between

this makes them extra precious

it helps to have a lazy morning once in a while though (in Kiro’s case, lazy sundays are most likely a bi-weekly thing)

you wake up first! Kiro needs his beauty sleep, and damn this boy can knock in 16 hours of sleep if need be

you’ll probably lay in bed for a while and then attempt to get up and ready for the day

until...you feel Kiro’s arm tugging you back

for a skinny, lithe boy, he’s remarkably strong. he pulls you back to bed with the groggiest, cutest sleep-laced voice EVER 

“Mmm, Miss Chips, it’s not time to wake up yet, is it?” 

he snuggles into you and refuses to wake up unless you give him kisses

during the night, Kiro sleeps in actual pyjamas with cute characters on them. when he feels lazy, he’ll probably just slip on a t-shirt and some boxer shorts, but he likes putting in the effort to wear matching couple pyjamas

Kiro cuddles with you 24/7, and sleep makes little difference here. he’s often the little spoon because he does like feeling your presence and your grip on him. he moves around when sleeping, so you might end up out of each other’s embrace, but Kiro subconsciously always touches you in some way or form, like holding hands or intertwining legs. he’s a man with many identities and needs your presence as a reassurance that he’s still the man that you love

he loves to pepper your face with kisses after getting home from rehearsals/concerts, claiming that it gives him energy

you do the same in the morning, anything to hear that sweet giggle of his

he’s deceptively cute though, and innocent morning kisses tend to spiral into...something more let’s just be honest, his stamina is something else entirely i’M SORRY 

morning exercise? check. Hotel? Trivago. non-sponsored~

you guys don’t shower in the morning. Kiro’s used to showering after practice, which is late at night, and you shower in the evenings to help you relax

however, on a rare occasion, you’ll draw a nice bath together and play around with bubbles and scented bath bombs so fun and relaxing

Kiro totally has a 14-step skincare regiment. you don’t get that beautiful baby-smooth skin without some effort.

he has the best ‘mid-range to high-end’ products on the market, and loves sweet and floral scents for his skincare and makeup. you guys try to line up each other’s routines to be able to do them together every morning.

Chapter 9 | Chapter 10 | Chapter 11

“I already told you, I really don’t need all of you to help me move.” I addressed the seven eager boys trying to pile into the van with me and Sejin oppa. It was rather impressive that they all managed to be awake at 6 in the morning. “It’s basically just my clothes and a couple personal belongings and that’s it. At most just one, maybe two of you would be plenty.”

Well, that was a mistake to say. Now they were commencing a rock, paper, scissors match to decide who got to come with me. I shook my head and climbed into the passenger seat of the car, not bothering to wait and see the outcome.

I sighed as I looked at Sejin oppa who just chuckled. “Well, at least they’re excited,” he said.

“I think even that word is an understatement,” I replied. “They see me every day anyway, what’s so exciting about me moving next door?”

“Because they’ll be able to bother you literally 24/7,” Sejin responded. “And if you think they won’t, then you’ve got quite a surprise coming.”

“Is it too late to turn back?”

Sejin slowly nodded. “Looks like you’re stuck with them whether you like it or not.”

I turned my attention to the back door of the company van opening and saw Hoseok and Seokjin climb into the vehicle. I rolled down my window to address the five boys who would have to just wait for us to return. “We’ll be quick, like I said it’s only a few things. Now get inside before you freeze.”

We drove off to the college, where this would likely be my last time visiting – unless I were to go to pick up Jin of course. It felt a little bittersweet. I didn’t dislike the college, and even though I was not super fond of school in general, I liked what I was studying. I just found something I liked more, so I had to move on from it.

With the four of us, it literally only took one trip up and down to gather my belongings. The room was a single-person one so it was very small and couldn’t fit much, and I didn’t need many belongings in the first place anyway.

It was December 20th, college finals were all finished and the boys who were still in school were on their holiday break, so it was a good time for me to move into my new home. The boys were going to have a couple days where they could visit their families if they wanted to, which I was really happy to learn about. They all moved away from home to become trainees, so I could only imagine how much they missed their families. I knew I was really missing mine.

It was just as fast getting my belongings into my new home. And of course, as soon as we set the items down, the rest of the group entered through the doorway, carrying food with them.

“Guys”- I started.

“We have to have a housewarming party for you, noona!” Namjoon cut me off.

“We don’t have time for this, though,” I responded. “You guys have lessons in two hours.”

“Don’t worry, we’ll make it quick,” Yoongi responded.

“It’s tradition to eat some jjajangmyeon when you move,” Hoseok said. “We can’t let you move in without eating this with us!”

I sighed. “Okay, fine. We can eat this food together. But then I want to get my stuff put away, and you guys need to get to work so don’t think about staying long, okay?”

They agreed to my conditions as they placed the really delicious looking food on the table and the nine of us ate together.

After we ate, they took a look around my still empty apartment.

“Hyung,” Jimin addressed Sejin. “Can’t some of us just move in over here with noona? That way we're not as crowded.”

My eyes widened at his suggestion.

“Absolutely not,” Sejin responded immediately. “There’s only one bedroom here. And you cannot be living with a girl. It’s just not appropriate.”

“She is our manager though,” Taehyung chimed in. “It’s not like she’s some random girl. I wouldn’t mind living here with her!” He smiled.

“I want to live with noona, too!” Jungkook added.

I facepalmed and shook my head. Even if it were an option to consider, there was absolutely no way I was living with the hyper maknae line. Not that I didn’t love them, but that’d be like babysitting a bunch of toddlers 24/7, and without the help of the other members. Nope.

“Alright guys, time to go!” I quickly started to shoo them all out of my new home before more of them would say they wanted to live with me. As bad as I felt for the seven of them sharing a small room, it really would be bad if they lived with me and people somehow found out. I could just imagine the headlines about it now.

I got almost all of them out of my room, saying goodbye to Sejin as he left. But a very stubborn Jeon Jungkook wouldn’t leave.

“Jungkook-ah, why are you still here?” I asked him. Please don’t say you want to live with me again.

“I want to help you unpack.” He smiled at me.

“There’s not really that much, though.” I looked at the single suitcase, 2 boxes, and 1 bag of clothes sitting on the floor.

“Well, then this will be really quick, won’t it?” He said as he started opening up one of the boxes.

I sighed. “Well, just don’t touch the suitcase,” I said, giving in. It really was super sweet of him to want to help and since they still had an hour left before needing to go to the company, I didn’t really have an excuse to say no.

It took us a whopping 30 minutes to get everything in its place, and by the time we were done, you could still hardly even tell anyone lived here at all. I was not looking forward to what it would cost me to buy all the things I was missing, especially when I looked at my completely bare kitchen. But at least the room came with a television so I wouldn’t be super bored at home.

“Thank you, Kookie,” I said. “You’d better go back to your hyungs, you have to get going soon.” I placed my hands on the either side of his face and lightly kissed him on his forehead as a thank you. Ever since the birthday party they threw for me, these types of gestures started to become normal for us, at least in private. I wasn’t going to have weird rumors going around the company.

When I had first given Taehyung a kiss, it hadn’t gone unnoticed and the other two maknaes started to complain about wanting kisses too, saying I was showing favoritism. Although it wasn’t like I did this all the time - they became sweet gestures here and there. They were like my brothers and I was a person who enjoyed hugs and skinship, so I didn’t mind it.

Jungkook hugged me before saying goodbye and leaving. I told Bang PD-nim I didn’t need a full day to move and get situated, but he insisted I take a day off, so I technically didn’t have any work to do today. I still wanted to check on how the social media was going, though.

We opened both the YouTube channel and Twitter account for the boys this past week and started posting there. Sejin asked me to be in charge of keeping tabs on the posts, mostly because I needed things to do but also since it was my idea. I wanted to keep an eye on comments for now to get a gauge for what people thought, but I knew we probably couldn’t keep up with them sooner or later. The SoundCloud account would be opened in two days along with a few songs, but that was going through PD-nim mostly since he had to authorize any songs that were released.

There wasn’t anything particularly interesting going on with their social media, so I quickly got bored with nothing else to do. I decided I’d go to the company anyway and probably go watch one of the boys’ lessons.

Seokjin should be starting his vocal lesson right about now, so I could go listen to him sing, if he didn’t mind. He usually didn’t, he said it encouraged him to work harder when I enjoyed listening to his voice.

I made my way through the hallway leading to the vocal lesson room, when I heard someone talking loudly.

“WHAT? SERIOUSLY?!” They said. I couldn’t pinpoint exactly where, but I think I’d heard that voice before. “That brat is a full-time employee now?!”

I didn’t need to guess who they were talking about. Luckily, I was around the corner, so they hadn’t spotted me. They were probably standing at the coffee vending machine I knew was in the hallway. But that was the direction I needed to go, so I stayed planted in my spot.

“Shh, don’t talk so loudly,” a second voice said. “But yeah, I just heard that the president officially hired her. Crazy right?”

“I can’t believe it. She is going to do nothing but hold that group down, I swear,” the first speaker said. “She doesn’t even know her place. And the nerve that she had to think that she had better ideas than us, when it’s not even part of her job. Sejin better watch out because it won’t be long before she thinks she can just step all over him.”

Definitely the woman from the meeting. My gaze was glued to the floor as I heard them go back and forth a few times, continuing to talk about me. I closed my eyes and just tried to remember what Sejin told me about ignoring people like her, but it really was a lot easier said than done when you’re in the situation.

I felt a hand on my shoulder, so I jolted my head up to see who was there, scared that the people talking had seen me. But the hand was gentle, just like the person who looked at me with concern in his expression.

Yoongi stared directly into my eyes. He pushed my shoulders back with his hands to straighten my posture, then lifted my chin to keep my head high. He leaned towards my ear to whisper, “Ignore them. We’re going to walk right past them, together. And you’re going to keep your head held high, not sparing them a single glance. Their words mean nothing, and you’re going to show that to them.”

He looked at me expectantly. After a deep breath, I nodded and he led me around the corner. I felt my stomach doing flips, because I knew I didn’t actually feel as confident as I was trying to portray myself. But the fact that I had Yoongi next to me definitely helped, so I tried to focus on him and only him as we started walking.

Not two seconds after we turned the corner, they suddenly cut off their conversation. I glanced at Yoongi out of the corner of my eye, and he turned to me to offer me a small smile. But his expression quickly changed to his poker face. He tried pulling me behind him a bit, and I turned my gaze forward to see why.

The two were walking towards us, the woman who I definitely recognized from the meeting from a few weeks ago seemingly headed towards me. By the time she reached us I was almost completely behind Yoongi, but she still managed to “accidentally” spill her very hot coffee all over my arm and side.

I couldn’t stop myself from crying out in pain as I backed away from her on instinct.

“Oops, I’m so sorry,” she said, not even trying to sound sincere.

I could see Yoongi about to say something to her, so ignoring my pain, I quickly put a hand on his arm as if to tell him to stop and replied, “It’s fine. It was obviously an accident,” I said very blankly as I stared her straight in the eyes, making sure she knew that I knew that was a lie.

Before anything else could happen, I pushed Yoongi forward a bit so we could continue walking down the hallway. After turning the next corner and knowing they could no longer see us, I finally let go of the breath I had been holding back to let the pain I was in show.

“We have to get that treated right away, noona,” Yoongi said urgently as he eyed my arm up and down to examine the damage.

“I-it’s fine,” I stumbled out.

“No, it’s not,” he said, taking his jacket off. He carefully wrapped it around my shoulders so it hid my burn and the stain on my shirt, and he quickly but gently guided me towards their dance studio.

“Wait, why are we here?” I asked when we arrived at the door.

“There’s a first aid kit in the room, just in case we get injured during practice,” he responded.

He opened the door, urging me inside with him. “It’s a standard kit so it should have burn cream. Go sit on the couch,” he ordered while he ran to another corner of the room to find the first aid kit.

I did as he asked, thankful that no one was currently practicing here. He rushed back over to me and gently removed his jacket to take a look at my arm.

“Geez,” he breathed as he pulled out a soft towel from the kit to absorb any liquid that remained. I flinched and hissed at the pain from the touch. “I’m sorry,” he said as he carefully continued.

“It’s okay, it’s not your fault,” I replied, doing my best to refrain from reacting any more.

After it was dry, he got out the burn cream.

“I can do it, Yoongi,” I said.

“No,” he insisted. “I’ll be gentle, I promise. Just let me do it.”

His tone had a finality to it, so I didn’t argue back. But as he started to gently apply the cream, I did find it in me to say, “I’m supposed to take care of you guys, not the other way around.”

He looked me in the eyes at my statement. “Noona, you being my manager doesn’t have anything to do with this right now.” He turned his focus back to my arm. “Right now, you’re my friend, and I’m taking care of you.”

Despite my pain, I couldn’t help but smile at that. After he finished dressing my arm, including gauze which didn’t feel very good against the injury but was necessary to keep the burn cream from rubbing off, his eyes widened for a second in realization. “Is your stomach okay?”

I looked at the stain on my shirt. “Um, I think so. I don’t remember feeling burning there. Let me check really quick.”

Yoongi turned around so I could lift up my shirt to get a better look. “No, it looks fine. The material must have absorbed enough of the heat.”

“Good,” Yoongi said, turning around just as I let my shirt back down. “You should probably go to a hospital to get that better checked out, though.”

“I’ll be fine,” I replied. “What could they do that you haven’t already done for me?”

Yoongi didn’t look satisfied at my answer, but responded, “Alright. I can’t force you.” He glanced at my arm and shirt once more, then grabbed his jacket sitting on the couch to hand it back to me. “You can borrow this to cover it.”

I smiled at him. “Thank you, Suga.” I put on the jacket, being careful to not agitate my arm. Then I wrapped my arms around his waist, resting my head on his chest. “For everything. Thank you.”

He returned the hug, placing one hand on my head and the other on my back while resting his head on top of mine. “Of course, noona.”

We stood there like that for a moment until the door to the studio opened, revealing Jimin, Hoseok, and Namjoon.

“Well, that’s a unique sight,” Namjoon chuckled as we let go of each other.

“Hi hyung, hi noona,” Hoseok greeted. “What’s going on?”

I shook my head. “Nothing, really. We were just talking.”

“How did you get hyung to give you a hug?” Jimin asked.

“I bribed him,” I said with a smirk.

“Yah, that’s not true,” Suga retaliated. “I’m not heartless, I can give hugs.”

“Then can I have a hug, hyung?” Jimin walked toward him, his arms spread wide and big smile on his face.

“No,” Suga responded with a deadpanned look.

I giggled at the scene. “I’ll give you a hug, Jimin.”

“Yay!” He wrapped his arms around me tightly. He bumped the burn on my arm in the process, so I bit my lip to keep from reacting, but it only hurt for a split second. After he let go, I sat against the front wall of the room. “Well, since I’m here, I might as well watch your practice.”

Hoseok’s face brightened. He really loved having an audience to show off his skills to. “Wait, isn’t that hyung’s jacket you’re wearing, noona?” he asked, pointing at me.

“I have a song to write,” Yoongi said as he walked out of the room, keeping his eyes on me.

I smiled to let him know I was okay, then turned toward Hoseok. “I was cold, so he let me borrow it.”

“Bye, hyung!” Namjoon called to him as he opened the door.

Only a few seconds after he left, I got a text notification on my phone. It was from Yoongi. “Take care of your arm. Let me know if you need anything.” I smiled and went to put my phone away, but got another notification before it got to my pocket. “Oh, and no rush on returning my jacket.”

Postscript

Hello, this is Kim Hyun.

I wonder how I can write this postscript so that people can say that I wrote it well. At first, I planned on drawing this postscript manhwa-style, but I felt like there was so much to tell, so I ended up drawing a two-part special chapter. I hope you will enjoy them. And now I've really said all I want to say, so I will give my final goodbye.

The timeline for That Summer is an endless circle. So whenever you feel sad on a hot summer day, come back and visit “That Summer” again.

You might be able to discover different emotions that you weren't able to catch when you read it the first time.

Thank you for reading up until now. I was happy to be with you readers for a long time again. Thank you to my loving family, friends, the owner of my neighborhood chicken place, and the people reading on this platform.

Goodbye.

I'll see you on my next project.

Books are coming out!

I plan to publish them on February 27th.

Author-nim: Read it one more time~

ST: Hehehe

Unlucky Mansion Chapter 72 (Finale) Translation!

I CAN’T BELIEVE IT’S OVER... I LOVE YOU AUTHOR-NIM

Read the raws here: Unlucky Mansion

EJ: AUSTRALIA?! WAIT, NO? WHEN? HOW LONG? SO SUDDENLY?!

CM: Be quiet. It's just a brief trip.

CM: So I'll be living here until this month is over, and then I'll empty the place for next month.

-When you're comfortable, let's talk about the deposit later.

WJ: Alright, then.

CM: I'll be leaving now.

EJ: YOU'RE GOING TO AUSTRALIA RIGHT NOW?!

CM: What are you saying! I'm going to get a physical examination for my visa!

CM: Keep it a secret from the others for now. I want to go quietly without something like a farewell party.

-Anyways, I'll be back.

EJ: Yeah...

EJ: … Hey, did you already know Chae Min was going?

WJ: No, I found out just now.

EJ: But how are you this calm?

WJ: Well...

WJ: It turned out good for her. Compared to... just living recklessly like she was.

-So I'm just quietly cheering her on, I guess.

EJ: Is that so...

EJ: Now that I think about it—

EJ: Always working on a whim and then quitting shortly after—

EJ: Drinking alcohol almost every day—

EJ: Wanting to be alone—

EJ: Her cynical attitude—

Box: Looking back, were those all warning signs that Chae Min unni was living recklessly?

EJ: I got so used to it that I didn't think it was strange.

EJ: Australia... That's far.

Box: I just vaguely thought that we'd be together like this forever...

Box: Even if we spent time apart, we could share about our daily lives together, thinking that vaguely...

SW: Have a safe trip, noona!

CM: It's been a while, drinking sake.

EJ: That's right, it's our first time since we drank nearly 200,000 Won's worth (~$186) and got drunk.

CM: Ha! That time was really funny. We blacked out and the next morning, your ring wouldn't come off...

EJ: Let's not talk about that...

CM: Even went to the fire station~ What a scene~

EJ: UGH~~!!

ST: Want to rip my hair out!

CM: But still, you got along well with Woo Jin after that, so consider yourself lucky.

EJ: I am thankful for that, at least!

CM: You didn't know how funny it was every time he sought me out with alcohol to get dating advice.

EJ: He did that?

CM: He didn't tell you? He was crying and causing a commotion!

CM: And at the amusement park, he was really...

CM: Haha, it hasn't been that long, but it already feels like a tale from the past.

EJ: That's true.

EJ: … Unni, can I ask why you're suddenly leaving?

CM: It's just a new dynamic.

CM: Not much difference from usual.

CM: If I were to be more specific... Maybe it's because of Sung Won.

CM: He told me this. That happiness came from the trivial things, and that I can become happy whenever I wanted so long as I was ready to accept it.

-When I heard that back then, I was in complete despair. Since I know that no matter what I do, I wouldn't be able to reach out for that happiness.

CM: Just being happy itself is for people who have tried it. Who cares, I'm bored of peace.

-That's why I jump into fires. Even still, I'm flailing my limbs while being unhappy.

CM: That's the kind of person I am.

CM: So when I heard him say that, even thought I felt really despaired... I also really started to like him.

CM: It was like he was sparkling.

CM: But at the same time, I promised myself that I definitely wouldn't confess these feelings to him.

CM: Wouldn't the result be too obvious?

CM: He'll keep working hard to make me happy, and I definitely won't let that happen.

CM: In the first place, we're just not people who work well together.

CM: In the end, we'll make each other sad. I don't want to do that.

CM: So, I'm going to live the way I want. I'll attempt this and that, break when I have to, and maybe someday...

CM: I'll become happy.

Box: Just like that, Chae Min unni left. But still, my heart felt lighter at seeing her refreshed self.

Box: Sung Won was as busy as ever, but has gotten lots of positions filled,

SW: We got a new worker this time. They were full of energy~

Box: Kwon Joon and Kwon Hwi devoted in preparations to find a job.

KJ: What do you think, does it suit me?

EJ: It's perfect for a job interview. You look neat.

Box: Woo Jin told me to come back to the Lucky Mansion, and I wanted to, but...

Paper: Lucky Mansion Move-In Contract

Box: I felt like the others would feel awkward at how spent time together, so I declined.

Box: I'm satisfied with just frequently going to visit.

Box: Occasionally, the story that Chae Min unni told me that day pops into my head.

Box: Would we turn out that way? I work hard endlessly to change Woo Jin,

Box: and he definitely won't let that happen, making each other unhappy...

Box: However rather than just giving up without even trying anything, I like you so much,

Box: and because all I can do would be to watch over your unhappy self...

Box: I'm going to work hard for as long as this relationship lasts.

Box: I'm sure you feel the same way.

Text: Let's keep working hard. While lessening our despairs bit by bit.

There were lots of parts that made my chest tight and lots of comparisons... Being able to butt heads with the reality that your will has allowed.. Seeing everyone work hard was really cool and lovable! I was very very happy... You've worked very hard!
