About Me

MASTERLIST

Hi guys!! As promised, this post will basically just tell you a little bit about me.

First of all, I post nsfw things so please do not interact with them if you are under the age of 18.

Like it says in my bio, use any pronouns for me I don't mind at all. Be nice, if you don't like what I write or how I write there's no need to be mean just block me. However, constructive criticism is welcome because I want to improve my writing. If you want to call me anything just call me "Jay" or “district.” I made my user "district4loading" because Sana's the fourth member in age order.

I thrive off of validation so please do not hesitate to ask a bunch of questions, headcanons or request. Especially hc's for twice members, they're fun. When requesting someone you want me to write about don't be afraid to give me scenarios too if you have an idea in mind. Also feel free to dm me!

Another thing, if you want to ask me about something other than fan fictions that perfectly fine, I love interacting with people. So if you wanna talk about new releases in kpop, my opinions on certain groups or just me in general go for it!!! I respond really quick.

My ult bias is Sana so you'll see me writing about her mainly, so if you love her too you should follow. I view Sana as a bottom so thats what i'll write her as. However, if you'd like me to write her as a top/switch I won't mind it.

My ult group is Twice, I love them so so so so so much and I bias misamo + Nayeon. I'll write for any member though!

I also stan groups like kiss of life (I bias Julie and Belle), XG (I bias Maya and Jurin), NMIXX (I bias Sullyoon) and Triples (no established bias yet cause I just started stanning). I don't see myself writing for them but I will post pics of them and talk about their new releases. That doesn't mean I won't, ask and you shall receive! I'm also open to writing for other girl groups that I don't stan but it might take a minute.

What I WILL write:

Nsfw

Sfw

Fluff

Angst (break ups, cheating, toxic love, relationship problems etc)

Threesomes (idk about anything more than that though cause I don't think my writing is that good)

Age gap relationships (where everyone is at least 18 ofc)

Female idol x Female idol, Female idol x Female reader, Female idol x Gender neutral reader, Female idol x Male reader

G!P

Name calling (Sir, Daddy, Princess, Good girl)

Bratty sub x sadist dom dynamics

Punishment

Bondage

What I MIGHT write:

Anal (Sorry, i'm just not into it but if that's what you want just ask)

Cnc

Male idols (Nothing against them, You can try convincing me but I doubt it'll work lol)

Male idol x Female idol

What I WON'T write (please don't request it or try to convince me otherwise):

Rape

Incest

Scat

Water sports

Anything NSFW where an idol or reader is UNDER 18

Male idol x Any Reader

This should go without saying but everything I write is FICTION, none of it is real nor does it accurately portray any idols character at all.

Also plz don’t plagiarize my stuff.

(I'm posting this for now but things will be added when I think of more)

[the-roo-too]

kawachi maya x reader; spider-man/idol au

warnings: blood; one sided dislike; mutual pinning

out of all of your members, maya had to be the least responsible one. i mean, being late to every single practice session after lunch? the fact that she always left before eating with your group was extremely annoying too.

but you started to like her back when you both were still trainees and for some unknown reason, you feelings wouldn’t go away. every time she ran late to the studio, apologising profusely, you’d feel the twitch of annoyance both at her and at yourself.

at her, for never being there on time.

at yourself, for still finding the irresponsible girl so charming.

she was cute (you’d never admit that out loud) in her own, annoying way. just like the stupid spider girl on the tv.

every time you’d try to peacefully have dinner with the girls, they’d insist on turning the news on. every third day, there would be reports of ‘the friendly neighbourhood spiderwoman’ in the area.

all of them would squeal over her (even chisa!) and you just couldn’t understand why. there wasn’t anything special about her after all.

she just had a very nice figure and could shoot webs out of her wrists. nothing out of ordinary.

if you were a mad scientist or something, you could probably make a web shooters like that. heck, anyone could do that. even someone as annoying as maya.

xg’s living room during lunch hours was always loud. you groaned in annoyance as harvey giggled at your state.

“don’t be so sulky, y/n-chan!” she leaned over to you with a teasing smile. “i don’t understand why you hate watching news with us so much!”

“because you’re all being loud!” you placed your head in your hands and sighed in desperation. “all i ask is one normal lunch break. am i asking for too much, harvey-chan?”

she laughed again and shook her head. “just relax and watch the news with us, y/nnie!”

almost as if summoned to the conversation, your leader also turned to smirk at you. “we could finish earlier if you could find maya-chan and get her here~!”

“as if.” you huffed in annoyance at jurin’s comment. “she always disappears to god knows where and comes back after we’ve started the practice session.”

in response your leader shrug her shoulders and turned back to look at the tv, where the spider woman could be seen. apparently she just caught some guys robbing a bank or whatever. some hero stuff as always.

you rolled your eyes in annoyance and grabbed your already empty plate, carrying it to the sink. then you glanced at your members, trying to catch eye contact with someone.

finally chisa glanced at you, quirking her brow. you mouthed a ‘i’ll be at the studio’ to which she nodded in understanding, and you went on your merry way.

besides, your group should go after you in half an hour max, hopefully.

in the dance studio, you just laid yourself on the ground for a second. the practice wouldn’t start until the rest got there maybe not including maya, so for now you could relax.

you pulled out your phone from the pocket of your sweats. your finger hovered over maya’s contact what were the chances she would actually answer now?

you started typing before you could talk yourself out of it.

just as you pressed the ‘send’ button, your members barged in through the doors. you smiled slightly and stood up, tossing your phone away.

y/nnie: where are you, maya-chan?

at some point when you were stretching, maya finally arrived. she sent you a small wink when she joined the formation, making you quirk your brow in curiosity, but you didn’t ask her about it.

when it was time for a water break, you picked up your bottle and phone and sat yourself beside juria, laying your head on her shoulder.

there was one notification in your messages.

maya: i’m here 🙆‍♀️

you rolled your eyes subtly and put the device away again, opting to join your friends conversation instead. except, they seemed to be talking about the spider woman again.

you let out a soft groan, making all heads turn to you. a teasing smile played on hinata’s lips at your dissatisfaction. “what’s up, y/n-chan? you wanna fangirl too?”

you pouted at her, making the others laugh.

“no, but seriously.” chisa turned to look at you with a curious look. “why do you dislike the spider woman so much?”

maya perked up at the mention of the hero, surprise painting her face. “you don’t like spider woman?”

“you would know that if you didn’t skip every single lunch with us.”

“hey, i was busy-!”

“not important!” chisa clapped her hands once and pointed at you. “why don’t you like her?”

“spider woman? i just don’t get what’s the hype all about.” you shrugged your shoulders at the girls as they all gasped in protest.

“hey, spider woman is like, super cool!” maya yelled defensively and all the others nodded in agreement.

“yeah, right. and i’m actually dating jinyoung park.” before you all could continue the argument, jurin stood up with an annoyed expression.

“okay everyone, break’s over. now chop chop, we have a choreo to learn.”

the group groaned in sync but you all stood up obediently and got into positions.

you loved the chill moments back in your room, in your warm and cosy bed. no one bothered you there. it was your personal space and unless juria decided to be clingy you could relax.

you were scrolling through tik tok, your window opened to let fresh air in before you go to sleep. then, you heard a soft thud.

you lifted your gaze from your phone, thinking the wind knocked something from your nightstand, only to let out a scream when you saw a unknown figure standing in the middle of your room.

the person tried to cover your mouth but in a moment of panic, you threw the glass from your nightstand at their face. instinctively they covered themselves with their hands, making the object shatter on their arms, probably wounding them.

only when you heard them whimper, you took a closer look at the stranger, recognising the figure. it was the goddamn spider woman.

“oh my gosh i am so sorry- wait, what the hell are you doing in my room?” you stood up to aid the hero, yet something felt off about the situation.

“i- ah… i like.. visiting fans…” spider woman whispered in a pained tone and you couldn’t help but feel more guilty.

“shit, just- sit on my bed, okay? i-i’ll patch you up!” you left her without a word and ran to the bathroom, getting a aid kit out of there.

by some miracle, your scream didn’t wake anyone else up, but maybe it was for the better.

when you came back, the spider woman was sitting crosslegged on your bed. you winced when you saw her picking out the glass shards from some cuts.

“wait…” you sat in front of her and gently grabbed her hands, laying them on your lap. you took a pair of scissors from the kit and carefully cut the hand pieces of her suit, not minding her quiet protests.

as you started wiping her arms with the gaze, you looked up at her mask for a second. “i’m not a fan actually… and i think it’s still creepy.” you mumbled softly.

a quiet laugh left her lips, getting cut off immediately when you pressed a antiseptic wipe to one of the cuts.

“how come, pretty girl? everyone's my fan…” she whispered again.

you looked up at her with wide eyes and slightly warm cheeks. “h-hey! don’t call me that, creep.”

“i’m not a creep…” she kept speaking quietly, almost as if she didn’t want you to hear her voice fully.

“this is not being creepy?”

she shrugged her shoulders softly and looked at your hands as you worked a bandage on her arms. “i saw a pretty girl and i wanted to shoot my shot.”

you scoffed slightly at that. “too bad, i like someone.”

the spider woman tilted her head curiously. “you do?” even with the whisper tone, you could hear the smirk on her lips. “who?”

“you wouldn’t know her, creep!”

“her~?” you blushed immediately. that part of you was kept as a secret from people besides your members.

“i-“

“don’t be afraid, pretty girl. i won’t judge.” she spider woman leaned in closer, her mask just in front of you. “you can tell me~!”

“i-if i tell you, will you leave me alone, you creep?”

the hero nodded her head contently as she leaned back. you sighed softly. you had never actually admitted it out loud.

“i… like my bandmate..”

“who?”

you blushed more. this certainly wasn’t how you expected your evening to go. “…maya.”

for some reason, the spider woman seemed to perk up at that. “really? i know her, she’s a great friend of mine.”

you quirked your brow suspiciously at the comment. “yeah. right.”

“really!” maybe forgetting herself, the hero stopped whispering at that moment. “she even told me to come here and play a small prank on you~!”

your brows furrowed. the voice seemed oddly familiar, yet you couldn’t quite pin point it.

“you sound…”

“wanna know a secret?” spider woman lifted her hands to the bottom of her mask, grabbing the corners gently. you couldn’t even answer her before she pulled the material up, revealing her face up to her nose.

your eyes widened in shock but before a sound left you, you felt a soft pair of lips meet yours.

“i like you too…”

5 & 10 for the worldbuilding asks? 🌊🧜

Thank you for the asks!!

5. Sanpala: the sea religion

Oh man, I have SO much I can say about this one. I'll keep it to a minimum though!

The followers of Sanpala believe that water is the greatest source of Heiros and abide by the saying "reishi merath siresh". This translates to “all (every) water forgives”.

The motto is part of the reason why so many sailors are attracted to this religion (other than their general love of the sea). Most of them have been cast out by society and it reassures the belief that they belong somewhere – there is something that doesn’t give a damn what they did, unlike the harshness of Heirosa.

It’s possible that they were the ones who actually started this saying, as the original sailors were all criminals. They could have coined the phrase as a way of forgiving themselves (and each other) of their sins.

They don’t have a sacred text, as the religion is primarily passed through word-of-mouth between those at sea. They are less strict about what makes someone a "true" follower - as long as you respect the sea and its inhabitants.

Many believe in the existence of a god named Tura, a giant tentacled being that lives in the deepest parts of the sea. Some even claim to have seen him, though without proof these stories are brushed off as just that - stories.

Unlike those that follow Heirosa, all Sanpavir are buried at sea and believe that they will be reincarnated as a part of it. Whether that be as part of the sea itself or as a sea creature, or even a plant.

10. Liheros (Sonharian mermaids)

I've talked a little about the here but here's some more stuff!

Liheros are arguably the most dangerous beings in Sonhara, if you get on their bad side. But if you are in favour with one of them, you have a very powerful ally.

They have a historical feud with the gishars, dating back centuries, though they generally refuse to talk about it and will get very angry if you bring it up unprompted.

Whilst gishars rule the lands, you could say that the liheros rule the sea. They don't usually have leaders, with the exception of those that live in and around Jurin, which is ruled by Erozah Malior (from the 1980s onwards).

Even the humans of Jurin would rather turn against the gishars than turn against Erozah, as he has done far more for their town than anyone else. If you manage to piss off Erozah, it's in your best interest to never step foot in Jurin again, or he might eat you. Literally.

The Jurinian liheros have a bit of a reputation for scamming people (though that's just what all Jurin locals do), which they've fully leaned into by offering "scam insurance" to newcomers. You pay them a fee up front and they'll spread the word to other Jurinians so you "don't get scammed". It's surprising how many people actually buy into this lol

MISSION AT CLOUD TOWER - ATEEZ AS WINX (AINX)

DISCLAIMER: Don’t take any of this seriously. I'm not shipping or doing anything wrong. I’m writing this for fun! SO PLEASE DO NOT ATTACK ME THANK YOU!

Previously, on AINX, Mingi went on a date with Princess Cocona (Jurin), which took a dark turn when he started acting strangely. The team discovered that the Trix had manipulated Mingi, leading to a confrontation where Wooyoung handed over the Ring of Light to save his friend. With Mingi saved but the ring lost, the team now faces the challenge of recovering it and stopping the Trix's evil plans.

Wooyoung sat at a large wooden table in Alfea's grand library, surrounded by ancient tomes and scrolls. The air was filled with the scent of old paper and the quiet rustle of pages being turned. He was deep into research about Mingi's ring, flipping through pages with intense concentration. Flo, his pet rabbit, sat on the table, twitching her nose and watching him curiously. "There has to be something here about that ring's connection to the Dragon Flame. I just need to find it," Wooyoung muttered to himself, his fingers tracing the intricate designs on a faded manuscript.

Suddenly, he found a passage about the Ring of Solaria and its powerful history. His eyes lit up as he read further. "Flo, look at this!" he exclaimed, tapping the page excitedly. "It says here that the Ring of Solaria was crafted by an ancient sorceress and imbued with the essence of the Dragon Flame. This must be it!"

Flo tilted her head, as if trying to understand the significance of the discovery. Wooyoung continued reading, his excitement growing with each line. "The ring, once lost to time, holds the key to unlocking unparalleled power, tied directly to the wielder's heart and intent," he read aloud. "If this is Mingi's ring, it explains a lot about the strange occurrences lately."

He paused, deep in thought. "But how do we unlock its full potential?" Wooyoung wondered aloud. He scanned the next page eagerly. "Ah, here we go! 'The bearer of the Ring of Solaria must undergo a ritual to fully harness its power. This ritual, performed under the light of a full moon'”

Wooyoung's brow furrowed as he considered the implications. "That sounds intense," he said, glancing at Flo.

He leaned back in his chair, staring up at the towering shelves filled with knowledge. "We have a full moon tonight," he mused. "I need to gather everything Mingi will need to stop the Trix and explain it to him. This might be our only chance to get to the bottom of this."

Wooyoung's determination hardened as he returned to his research, scanning the ancient texts for any additional clues or instructions. Hours passed, the only sounds the turning of pages and the occasional rustle as Flo moved about the table.

Finally, Wooyoung closed the last book with a sigh. "That's everything," he said, exhaustion lacing his voice. "Now I just need to find Mingi and tell him what I've discovered."

Wooyoung burst into the dormitory, excitement evident in his eyes as he held a stack of ancient tomes and scrolls. The rest of the AINX members gathered around, curious about what he had discovered. The room was filled with anticipation, the air practically buzzing with the energy of their interest.

"Guys, I found something incredible about the Ring of Solaria!" he exclaimed, his voice filled with enthusiasm.

Mingi, already knowledgeable about the ring, leaned back with a knowing look. "I already know about that stuff, but go on," he said, a small smile playing on his lips.

“But who are those witches that’s what I wanna know” Wooyoung said looking confused 

San, always eager to be part of the discussion, added, "Trix! That's the name we gave to our three favorite witches!" He chuckled, recalling their old nickname for the trio.

Wooyoung nodded, acknowledging their contributions before diving into his findings. "Alright, listen up. The Ring of Solaria isn't just some old artifact. It holds immense power and is directly connected to the Fire Dragon of Solaria. This isn't just a legend or a fairy tale. It’s real, and the power it holds is unimaginable."

He paused for effect, letting the weight of his words sink in. Jongho, who had been listening intently, asked, "That's amazing, but what does it mean for us now?"

Wooyoung took a deep breath, gathering his thoughts. "Two days ago, the Trix stole the Ring of Solaria. They know its power and are likely planning to use it for something catastrophic. We need to understand the ring's history and power if we're going to stop them."

Yunho, who had been quietly absorbing the information, spoke up. "What exactly did you find out about the ring?"

Wooyoung continued, "The ring was crafted by an ancient sorceress and imbued with the essence of the Dragon Flame. The sorceress intended it to be a beacon of hope and strength, but in the wrong hands, it can become a weapon of unimaginable destruction. The Trix know this, and they’re likely trying to harness its power for their own gain."

He looked around at his friends, their faces a mixture of concern and determination. "The Ring of Solaria has a safeguard built into it: it can only be fully controlled by someone pure of heart, someone whose intentions are noble. This is our advantage. We need to retrieve the ring and ensure it’s used for the right purpose."

San leaned forward, his eyes wide with excitement. "Tell us more about the ring’s history, Wooyoung. We need to know everything if we're going to defeat the Trix."

Wooyoung nodded and took a deep breath. "The Ring of Solaria has a long and storied past. After the Trix took it, I dug deeper into its origins. It was originally crafted by the ancient sorceress Solaria, who was renowned for her wisdom and power. She imbued the ring with the essence of the Dragon Flame, making it a beacon of hope and strength for the kingdom of Solaria."

He continued, "After its creation, the ring was passed down through generations of Solarian royalty. Each king and queen wielded its power to protect the realm and uphold justice. It became a symbol of their right to rule and their duty to safeguard their people. This tradition continued until it reached our time, with Mingi being chosen as the prince and future King of Solaria. The ring signifies his right to the throne and his responsibility to his people."

Mingi looked thoughtful, considering the implications. "So, what do they do now?" he asked, his tone serious.

"The Trix will need to perform the ritual," Wooyoung replied. "There's a full moon in today, and we have to prepare."

Jongho nodded. "And we need to find out where the Trix are hiding. If what Wooyoung’s saying is true then we need to act fast. We can't let them complete their plans."

Wooyoung smiled, a sense of pride swelling within him. "We all have a role to play in this. Together, we can help Mingi unlock the ring’s power and protect our world from the Trix. This might be our only chance to stop them and retrieve the Ring of Solaria."

As the group discussed their plans and prepared for the upcoming ritual, the bond between them grew stronger. They knew that with teamwork and determination, they could overcome any obstacle. 

The library was dimly lit, the air thick with the scent of old parchment and forgotten knowledge. Wooyoung's footsteps echoed softly against the polished marble floor as he wandered among towering bookshelves, each one filled to the brim with tomes and scrolls of ancient lore.

His heart raced with excitement and determination. He couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to the legend of the Dragon Flame than what he had been told. There had to be some truth buried within these dusty pages, some clue that could help him unlock the mysteries of his own past.

Lost in thought, Wooyoung hardly noticed the soft rustle of robes as Miss Faragonda approached. Her presence seemed to shimmer with an otherworldly grace, her eyes sparkling with knowledge beyond mortal understanding.

"Looking for something specific, Wooyoung?" Her voice was like a gentle breeze, stirring the stagnant air of the library.

Startled, Wooyoung turned to face her, his eyes wide with surprise. "Yes, Miss Faragonda. I want to learn more about the Dragon Flame and its connection to me," he replied, his voice tinged with excitement and uncertainty.

Miss Faragonda studied him for a moment, her gaze piercing through to his very soul. "Ah, the Dragon Flame," she murmured, her voice tinged with a hint of sadness. "A powerful force indeed, one that has shaped the destiny of many."

Wooyoung leaned in closer, hanging on her every word. "But is it real?" he pressed, his heart pounding in his chest. "Or is it just a myth, a legend passed down through the ages?"

Miss Faragonda's lips curved into a knowing smile. "That, my dear boy, is for you to discover," she replied cryptically. "But know this: the truth is often stranger than fiction, and the path to enlightenment is fraught with peril."

With a wave of her hand, she gestured for him to follow. "Come, Wooyoung. There is much we need to discuss."

As they made their way through the labyrinthine corridors of Alfea, Wooyoung couldn't shake the feeling that he was on the brink of something extraordinary. Little did he know, his quest for knowledge would lead him down a path he never could have imagined, one that would test his courage, his loyalty, and his very identity. But for now, all he could do was follow Miss Faragonda and trust in the wisdom of the ages.

Miss Faragonda led Wooyoung through the winding halls of Alfea, her robes billowing behind her like ethereal wings. The soft glow of magical torches flickered along the walls, casting eerie shadows that danced with every step they took.

As they reached the grand oak doors of her office, Miss Faragonda turned to Wooyoung, her eyes twinkling with a mixture of anticipation and concern. "Inside, we will uncover the truths you seek," she said, her voice resonating with an ancient power.

Wooyoung nodded eagerly, his heart pounding in his chest. He couldn't believe his luck – to have the esteemed headmistress herself guiding him on this journey of discovery. With a trembling hand, he pushed open the doors and stepped into the room beyond.

The office was a sanctuary of knowledge, filled with towering bookshelves and ornate tapestries depicting scenes of magic and wonder. At the center of it all stood a massive oak desk, behind which Miss Faragonda took her seat, her expression grave yet determined.

"Please, have a seat," she gestured to a plush armchair opposite her desk. Wooyoung sank into it, his mind buzzing with questions and possibilities.

Miss Faragonda leaned forward, her eyes locking with his. "Tell me, Wooyoung," she began, her voice low and intense, "what is it that drives you to seek the truth about the Dragon Flame?"

Wooyoung hesitated for a moment, unsure of how much to reveal. But then he remembered the fiery passion that burned within him, the unquenchable thirst for knowledge that had driven him to this point. "I want to prove that it's real," he said firmly. 

Miss Faragonda nodded slowly, her expression softening with understanding. "And so you shall," she said, her voice filled with a quiet determination. "But know this, Wooyoung – the journey ahead will not be easy. There are forces at work beyond our understanding, and they will stop at nothing to keep the secrets of the Dragon Flame buried forever."

Wooyoung's heart sank at her words, but he refused to be deterred. "I'm not afraid," he said, his voice steady despite the fear that gnawed at his insides. "I'll do whatever it takes to uncover the truth."

Miss Faragonda smiled, a glimmer of pride shining in her eyes. "Then let us begin," she said, her voice ringing with authority. "For the fate of the magical realm depends on it."

Miss Faragonda rose from her seat, her movements graceful and deliberate. From a hidden compartment in her desk, she withdrew a weathered tome bound in cracked leather, its pages yellowed with age and wisdom.

"This," she said, placing the ancient book before Wooyoung, "is the key to unlocking the secrets of the Dragon Flame. Within its pages lie the stories of those who came before us, the guardians of a power older than time itself."

Wooyoung reached out tentatively, his fingers tracing the intricate patterns etched into the cover of the tome. He could feel the weight of centuries pressing down upon him, the gravity of the knowledge he was about to uncover.

With bated breath, he opened the book and began to read, his eyes scanning the faded text for any mention of the Dragon Flame. Miss Faragonda watched him intently, her gaze never wavering as he delved deeper into the mysteries of the past.

Hours passed in a blur as Wooyoung poured over the ancient tome, his mind swimming with visions of dragons and warriors, of battles fought and destinies forged. With each turn of the page, he felt himself drawing closer to the truth, closer to understanding the power that lay dormant within him.

But just as he thought he had found the answers he sought, a sudden gust of wind swept through the room, extinguishing the magical torches and plunging them into darkness.

Wooyoung's heart raced as he looked up, his senses on high alert. He could feel a presence in the room, something dark and malevolent lurking in the shadows.

"Miss Faragonda?" he called out, his voice trembling with fear. But there was no response, only the sound of his own heartbeat echoing in the silence.

And then, from out of the darkness, a pair of glowing red eyes appeared, their gaze burning with an intensity that sent shivers down Wooyoung's spine.

"Who... who are you?" he stammered, his voice barely above a whisper.

The eyes narrowed, their owner stepping forward into the dim light of the room. It was a figure cloaked in darkness, its features obscured by a hooded robe.

"I am the guardian of the Dragon Flame," the figure said, its voice like a whisper on the wind. "And you, Wooyoung, are trespassing on sacred ground."

Wooyoung's blood ran cold at the figure's words, his mind reeling with disbelief. Could it be true? Was this mysterious guardian the key to unlocking the secrets of the Dragon Flame, or was he nothing more than a pawn in a game far greater than he could ever imagine?

The figure stepped closer, its presence suffocating, like a shroud of darkness enveloping the room. Wooyoung felt a primal fear clawing at his chest, threatening to overwhelm him.

"I mean you no harm," Wooyoung pleaded, his voice barely audible in the oppressive silence. "I only seek to understand the truth about the Dragon Flame, to uncover its secrets."

The guardian regarded him with an intensity that made Wooyoung feel as though he was being scrutinized down to his very soul. "The truth is not for the faint of heart, young one," it said, its voice a low rumble that seemed to reverberate through the very walls of the room.

"But I am willing to face whatever challenges lie ahead," Wooyoung replied, his voice filled with a determination he didn't know he possessed. "I will not be deterred in my quest for knowledge."

The guardian studied him for a long moment, its gaze unwavering. And then, to Wooyoung's surprise, it reached out a hand, its fingers gnarled and ancient.

"Very well," it said, its voice softer now, almost gentle. "Take my hand, and I will show you the truth."

Wooyoung hesitated for only a moment before reaching out, his fingers trembling as they brushed against the guardian's own. In an instant, he felt a surge of power coursing through him, a connection to something ancient and primal.

And then, in a flash of blinding light, the room was filled with images – visions of dragons soaring through the sky, of battles fought and won, of a power unlike anything Wooyoung had ever known.

As the visions faded, Wooyoung found himself standing alone in the darkness, his heart pounding in his chest. But now, he knew the truth – the Dragon Flame was real, and it was more powerful than he could have ever imagined.

“Thank you Miss Faragonda” he smiled as he got out. It was a true blaze.

Seonghwa leaned forward, his expression serious as he considered their options. "We'll need a distraction," he said, his voice low and thoughtful. "Something to draw the Trix away from the main entrance while we make our move."

Hongjoong nodded in agreement. "I can create a diversion spell," he offered. "It should buy us enough time to get in and out without being detected."

Yunho frowned, his brow furrowed in concern. "But what about security?" he asked. "Surely the entrance are heavily guarded."

Mingi shook his head. "Not necessarily," he replied. "The Trix are arrogant. They'll think no one would dare to challenge them in their own territory."

Wooyoung, who had been listening quietly, finally spoke up. "But what if they're expecting us?" he asked, his voice tinged with worry. "What if this is all just a trap?"

Jongho, who had been silent until now, spoke up. "We can't afford to think like that," he said, his voice firm. "We have to believe in ourselves and trust that we can outsmart the Trix."

Yeosang nodded in agreement. "He's right," he said. "We can't let fear hold us back. We have to be bold and decisive if we want to succeed."

San smiled, a glimmer of determination shining in his eyes. "Then it's settled," he said.

Wooyoung's mind raced with a revelation. He recalled a conversation he'd overheard months ago in the library, snippets of which now pieced together in his memory. There was talk of a secret tunnel beneath the school, rumored to lead directly to Cloud Tower.

"Wait a minute," Wooyoung interjected, his eyes widening with realization. "I think I know how to get to Cloud Tower without being detected."

The others turned to him, curiosity evident in their expressions. Seonghwa raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean, Wooyoung?" he asked, leaning in closer.

Wooyoung took a deep breath, his mind racing as he recounted what he remembered. "I overheard some students talking about it a while back," he explained. "There's a hidden tunnel beneath the school that supposedly leads straight to Cloud Tower."

The room fell silent as the gravity of Wooyoung's words sank in. This was their ticket to infiltrating Cloud Tower without alerting the Trix or risking a confrontation.

"That changes everything," Hongjoong said, his eyes alight with excitement. "If we can use the tunnel to get in and out quickly, we might have a chance at retrieving the ring without anyone even knowing we were there."

Yunho nodded in agreement. "It's risky, but it could work," he said, his voice tinged with determination.

Mingi grinned, his confidence growing with each passing moment. "Let's do it," he said. "We'll use the tunnel to our advantage and catch the Trix off guard."

With their plan now solidified, the group set to work preparing for their mission. They knew the dangers that lay ahead, but they also knew that they were prepared to face them head-on. And as they made their way towards the hidden entrance to the tunnel, their hearts beat with a mixture of anticipation and resolve, ready to take on whatever challenges awaited them in the depths below.

The air in the dimly lit chamber of Cloud Tower crackled with dark energy as the Trix gathered around the ancient ring, their faces twisted in determination and frustration. Storm clouds gathered overhead, casting ominous shadows across the room as they began their dark ritual.

Beneath the flickering torchlight, Icy, Darcy, and Stormy stood in a circle around the ring, their hands outstretched as they channeled their dark magic into the ancient artifact. But instead of the surge of power they had anticipated, a wave of searing pain washed over them, causing them to recoil in agony.

Icy clenched her teeth against the pain, her fingers trembling as she struggled to maintain her grip on the ring. "What's happening?!" she spat, her voice laced with frustration.

Darcy's brow furrowed in concentration as she tried to force her magic into the ring. "It's resisting us," she hissed through gritted teeth. "It's like it doesn't want our power."

Stormy let out a frustrated growl, her eyes blazing with anger. "This is pointless," she snapped, her voice echoing off the stone walls of the chamber. "We need the Dragon Flame's full power if we want to unlock the ring's true potential."

Icy's eyes narrowed with determination as she glanced around the chamber, her mind racing with possibilities. "Then we'll just have to find another way to get it," she said, her voice cold and calculating. "We can't afford to waste any more time."

As the Trix began to regroup and plan their next move, the echoes of their frustration lingered in the air like a dark cloud. They knew that time was running out, and that they would stop at nothing to obtain the power they sought. For the Trix, failure was not an option, and they would do whatever it took to achieve their twisted goals.

The flashlight's beam danced along the damp walls of the tunnel as the boys pressed forward, their footsteps echoing in the eerie silence. Seonghwa led the way, his jaw set with determination as he scanned their surroundings for any sign of danger.

"We need to stay focused," he reminded the group, his voice low but firm. "The Trix won't hesitate to use any means necessary to protect their secrets."

Yunho nodded in agreement, his grip tightening on the flashlight as he kept watch behind them. "We can't afford to let our guard down," he added, his eyes darting nervously from shadow to shadow.

"Those witches... always making a mess!" Nut grumbled under his breath, his brow furrowed in frustration as he gathered up discarded potions and spell ingredients.

Icy's voice cut through the darkness like a knife, her tone sharp and commanding. "What's the problem, Nut?" she demanded, her eyes narrowing with suspicion.

Nut jumped at the sound of her voice, his hands trembling as he turned to face her. "Nothing, Mistress. Nothing at all," he stammered, his voice barely above a whisper.

Icy regarded him with a cold stare, her gaze piercing through his facade. "Very well," she said dismissively, waving a hand in annoyance. "Just make sure everything is cleaned up before we return."

Icy's eyes gleamed with malice as she surveyed her companions, her voice dripping with contempt. "The time has come to claim what is rightfully ours," she declared, her words echoing in the stillness of the night.

Darcy's lips curved into a wicked smile as she cracked her knuckles, her eyes flashing with anticipation. "Let's show those pathetic witches what true power looks like," she said, her voice filled with confidence.

Stormy's hands crackled with dark energy as she stepped forward, her gaze locked on the darkened forest beyond. "We'll tear through anyone who dares to stand in our way," she vowed, her voice a low growl.

With a nod of agreement, the Trix set off into the forest, their laughter echoing through the night as they disappeared into the darkness. Little did they know, their actions would set into motion a chain of events that would forever change the fate of the magical realm and pit them against adversaries more powerful than they could ever imagine.

As the boys ventured deeper into the tunnels beneath Cloud Tower, their footsteps echoing softly against the cold stone walls, tension hung thick in the air. Seonghwa led the way, his flashlight cutting through the darkness like a beacon of hope as they followed the sound of the Trix's voices.

Suddenly, amidst the whispers of the wind and the distant echoes of their own steps, they heard it – the unmistakable sound of the Trix's shrill voices, calling out in frustration.

"Nut! Where are you, you incompetent fool?!" Icy's voice rang out, her anger palpable even from a distance.

Curiosity piqued, the boys quickened their pace, their hearts pounding in their chests as they followed the sound of the commotion. They rounded a corner and found themselves outside a door, the faint glow of torchlight spilling out from beneath it.

"This must be it," Wooyoung whispered, his voice barely above a breath.

With a silent nod of agreement, Seonghwa pushed open the door, revealing the Trix's darkened chamber. The room was a chaotic mess of dark magic and twisted trinkets, strange artifacts strewn about haphazardly as if thrown in a fit of rage.

"Wow, they really need to work on their interior decorating skills," San quipped, a smirk playing at the corners of his lips.

Yeosang chuckled, his eyes scanning the room for any sign of Mingi's missing ring. "Let's split up and search the room," he suggested, his voice low but determined.

The boys fanned out, their eyes scouring every corner for any clue that might lead them to the missing artifact. Mingi sifted through a pile of strange toys, his brow furrowed in concentration as he tried to make sense of their bizarre designs.

"What do you think this one does?" Yeosang asked, picking up a small figurine and examining it with a mixture of curiosity and amusement.

San shrugged, a mischievous twinkle in his eye. "Only one way to find out," he said, pressing a button on the toy's base.

Suddenly, the figurine sprang to life, its mechanical limbs flailing wildly as it emitted a series of strange beeping noises. The boys erupted into laughter, their voices echoing off the walls of the chamber as they played with the strange contraption.

But their laughter soon faded as Mingi's sharp eyes caught sight of something glinting in the dim light. "Guys, over here," he called out, his voice urgent.

The boys rushed to his side, their hearts pounding in anticipation as Mingi revealed a pile of dirt, nestled beneath a pile of discarded trinkets.

"That wasn't there before," Jongho observed, his voice filled with suspicion.

Seonghwa reached out a hand, his fingers brushing against the cool earth as he began to sift through the dirt. And then, amidst the grains and debris, he felt something hard and metallic – Mingi's missing ring.

"We found it!" Wooyoung exclaimed, his voice filled with relief.

But their celebration was short-lived as Yeosang's voice cut through the air like a knife. "Guys, we have a problem," he said, his tone grave.

The boys turned to see Yeosang standing by the door, his brow furrowed in concern. "There's some kind of safety lock or locking mechanism on the door," he explained, his voice tinged with worry. "We're trapped."

Panic surged through the group as they realized the gravity of their situation. Trapped in the heart of Cloud Tower with no means of escape, their only hope now rested on their ability to work together and find a way out before it was too late.

The boys stood outside the door to the library, their hearts pounding with anticipation as they prepared to uncover the secrets that lay within. Wooyoung's intuition told him that there was something beyond that door, something connected to him in ways he couldn't yet understand.

"I have a feeling about this," Wooyoung said, his voice tinged with excitement and trepidation. "I think there's something in there that's meant for me."

Seonghwa glanced at him, a knowing look in his eyes. "Trust your instincts, Wooyoung," he said, his voice steady and reassuring. "We're with you every step of the way."

With a deep breath, Wooyoung pushed open the door, revealing the chaos that lay beyond. Books lay strewn about haphazardly, their pages torn and tattered, as if someone had ransacked the library in search of something precious.

"Looks like we're not the only ones who had the same idea," San remarked, his eyes scanning the room for any sign of what they were looking for.

But Wooyoung's attention was drawn to a single book lying on the ground, its cover  worn and weathered with age. With trembling hands, he picked it up and felt a strange sense of familiarity wash over him as he flipped through its pages. The air crackled with anticipation as he held the book closer to his chest, a shiver running down his spine as if the book held a secret meant just for him.

Seonghwa placed a reassuring hand on Wooyoung's shoulder, his eyes reflecting the mix of curiosity and concern swirling within him. "What do you see, Wooyoung?" he asked, his voice low but steady.

Wooyoung's fingers traced the ancient script adorning the pages, his mind racing with the possibilities of what he might discover. "I'm not sure," he admitted, his voice barely above a whisper. "But I feel like there's something important hidden within these pages."

As he continued to sift through the book, his breath caught in his throat as he stumbled upon a passage that seemed to shimmer with an otherworldly light. With trembling fingers, he read the words aloud, feeling a surge of power coursing through him as if the words themselves were unlocking something deep within his soul.

Suddenly, a ray of sunshine burst through the book, illuminating the room in a warm golden glow. The boys gasped in astonishment, their eyes wide with wonder as they watched the light dance across the walls.

"What in the world..." Mingi trailed off, his voice filled with awe.

The boys were spellbound by the radiant light pouring from the book, their curiosity piqued by the mysterious phenomenon before them.

But as the brilliance of the light began to fade, a sense of urgency washed over them. Yeosang stepped forward, his brow furrowed in concern. "We should get out of here quickly," he suggested, his voice tinged with unease.

Wooyoung hesitated, his eyes scanning the room for any sign of the book he felt drawn to. "Just give me two more minutes," he pleaded, his voice filled with determination. "I have a feeling there's something here about me."

Yunho placed a hand on his shoulder, his expression grave. "Wooyoung, you know that tampering with the future can have dire consequences," he warned, his voice heavy with concern. "We don't know what opening that book could unleash."

But Wooyoung's resolve remained unwavering as he made his way through the scattered books, his heart racing with anticipation. And then, amidst the chaos, he spotted it – a book with his name embossed on the cover.

"I found it," he whispered, his voice filled with excitement as he reached out to touch the book.

Before Yunho could stop him, Wooyoung's fingers brushed against the ancient pages, and in an instant, a rope snaked out from the shadows, wrapping around his wrist with lightning speed.

A sinister laugh echoed through the room, chilling Wooyoung to the bone. "I warned you, young one," Headmistress Griffin's voice rang out, her words laced with malice. "But it seems you couldn't resist the temptation."

San's eyes widened in horror as he watched the scene unfold. "Wooyoung, get out of there!" he shouted, his voice filled with urgency.

But it was too late. The door behind them began to fade away, leaving nothing but a blank wall in its wake. Yeosang tried to use his techno powers to break through, but to no avail.

"We're trapped," he muttered, his voice tinged with defeat.

Wooyoung's heart sank as he realized the gravity of their situation. "I'm sorry," he whispered, his voice barely above a breath.

But as Headmistress Griffin's sinister laughter echoed through the room, he knew that the worst was yet to come. And as the darkness closed in around them, he could only hope that they would find a way to escape before it was too late.

As Headmistress Griffin's sinister laughter echoed through the room, a shiver ran down Wooyoung's spine. He glanced at his friends, their faces reflecting a mix of determination and fear.

"We need to get out of here," Seonghwa said, his voice urgent as he began to transform into his magical outfit.

The others followed suit, their outfits shimmering into existence as they prepared to face whatever lay ahead. With a collective breath, they focused their powers on the door, unleashing a torrent of energy that shattered it into pieces.

"We're not getting anywhere like this," San panted, his brow furrowed in frustration.

"We have to keep going," Yunho urged, his voice determined. "We can't let them catch us."

They ran through the tunnels, their footsteps echoing off the walls as they pushed themselves to their limits. But with Yeosang's photographic memory guiding them, they soon realized that they were in uncharted territory.

"This isn't the same tunnel we came through," Yunho observed, his voice tinged with concern.

Before they could process his words, the ground began to tremble beneath them, and suddenly, giant spiders emerged from every crevice, their eyes gleaming with malice.

"Spiders? Seriously?" Mingi exclaimed, his voice filled with disbelief.

"We need to protect ourselves!" Yeosang shouted, his voice filled with urgency.

With a swift motion, they formed a protective shield, combining their powers to fend off the relentless attack. But to their horror, the spiders kept coming, multiplying in numbers with each passing moment.

"We need a plan," Mingi said, his voice filled with determination.

Jongho nodded, his mind racing with ideas. "Follow me," he commanded, his voice steady as he flew into the air, the others close behind.

As they hovered above the sea of spiders, Mingi couldn't help but crack a joke. "Anyone got bug spray?" he quipped, earning a few chuckles from the group.

But Seonghwa was quick to summon a creature to help devour the spiders, though they all knew it was too easy. Mingi smirked, his sassy self shining through. "Easy peasy lemon squeezy," he declared, his confidence unwavering.

But their victory was short-lived as a monstrous creature emerged from the remnants of the spiders, sending a chill down their spines. Mingi's eyes widened in fear, and without a second thought, he turned to run.

"We have to fight!" Jongho shouted, his voice filled with determination as they braced themselves for the inevitable confrontation.

But just as they were about to engage the creature, Yeosang's sharp eyes caught sight of something behind them. "Look!" he exclaimed, pointing towards the door.

Mingi turned, his heart pounding with anticipation. "What is it?"

Yeosang's eyes sparkled with mischief. "It's the library catalogue," he said, a smirk playing at the corners of his lips. "Looks like they can't even keep things like this clean."

But before they could celebrate their discovery, San's blood-curdling scream filled the air as he spotted a tiny bako monster lurking in the shadows. Mingi summoned his sun shower, hoping to ward off the creature, but the flames quickly grew out of control, enveloping the room in smoke and chaos.

As the fire threatened to consume them, Jongho struggled to breathe, his chest tightening with each passing moment. But Hongjoong's calming presence steadied his nerves, his voice a soothing balm in the midst of the chaos.

Meanwhile, Wooyoung found himself drowning in guilt, his mind consumed by darkness until Yunho's reassuring touch pulled him back into the present.

With Yunho's guidance, they navigated through the flames, their spirits soaring as they approached a mysterious slide that offered them a means of escape. With a sense of relief, they slid down the chute, tumbling over each other in a chaotic heap as they landed safely on the other side.

As Wooyoung neared the end of the fire, the flames parted miraculously, revealing a slide that offered a glimmer of hope. He glanced back at his friends, relief flooding his senses as he saw them close behind.

"Everyone, hurry!" Wooyoung shouted, gesturing urgently towards the slide. "We need to get out of here!"

Yunho, his spirit mode fading away, returned to his normal form with a wide grin. "Let's not waste a second," he said, his voice filled with determination.

Hongjoong, always the strategist, stepped forward, his eyes scanning their surroundings. "We need to stay together," he reminded them, his voice steady despite the chaos around them. "No one gets left behind."

With a nod of agreement, they all piled onto the slide, their bodies intertwining as they descended in a rush of adrenaline. The heat of the flames was close behind, urging them onward with an urgent sense of danger.

But as they slid to safety, Jongho found himself dangerously close to the flames. With a sudden jolt, they collided at the bottom of the slide, a tangle of limbs and laughter as they landed in a heap on the ground.

"Is everyone okay?" Hongjoong called out, his voice filled with concern as he helped Jongho to his feet.

"We made it," Wooyoung breathed, relief flooding his features as he looked around at his friends, their faces flushed with exhilaration and relief.

As the boys trudged wearily through the tunnel, the weight of exhaustion bearing down on them, they finally emerged back in Alpheia. San, in particular, looked utterly drained, his steps heavy and his shoulders slumped.

But their moment of relief was short-lived, as Ms. Griselda intercepted them, her expression grave. "Stop right there, gentlemen," she commanded, her voice firm. "You're in big trouble."

The boys exchanged worried glances, their fatigue momentarily forgotten as they faced the stern gaze of their instructor. "What's going on, Ms. Griselda?" Yunho asked, his voice tinged with concern.

Ms. Griselda's expression softened slightly as she explained, "Headmistress Griffin has informed Miss Faragonda about your entrance in Cloud Tower. She's not pleased."

The boys' hearts sank as they realized the gravity of the situation. "What does this mean for us?" Mingi asked, his voice barely above a whisper.

"It means your powers will be suspended until tomorrow," Ms. Griselda declared, her tone leaving no room for argument.

The boys exchanged glances, a sense of dread settling over them as they contemplated the consequences of their actions. Doubt gnawed at their minds, but deep down, they knew that even without their powers, they were still the Ainx, united in their determination to do what was right.

As their powers were stripped away, leaving them feeling vulnerable and exposed, they found solace in each other's strength. "We may not have our powers," Wooyoung said, his voice filled with conviction, "but we still have each other. And that's enough to face whatever comes our way."

With renewed determination, the boys stood tall, their bond unbreakable despite the challenges that lay ahead. For even without their powers, they were still the Ainx, warriors of light and hope in a world filled with darkness.

okay i saw eric nam ask mark lee (nct) this so i'm sending it to a bunch of people bc i'm curious: you have to make a kpop super group consisting of at least 5 idols from any existing group, who are the members?

hello!!! ok this took me some long hard thought and there are infinitely many good answers, but I came up with a 4th gen super group I think would bang:

Han (Stray Kids) - rapper, vocalist

Ryujin (Itzy) - rapper, dancer, vocalist

Ningning (Aespa) - vocalist

Haechan (NCT) - vocalist, dancer

Yeonjun (TXT) - dancer, rapper, vocalist

Jurin (XG) - rapper, dancer, vocalist

Tell me this group wouldn't fucking SLAY. They would make party noize music with the most elevated vocals, as well as rap-focused hiphop tracks, as well as fun cheery stuff with a bit of an edge, and I would eat it all up.

Ooooh, this was fun. Thank you anon <3

Heading to Melbourne for the weekend and just wanted to put this in writing so I can reflect back.

Basically as usual I’m packing the night before my flight when I get a text and email saying my flights cancelled. Luckily I was able to get another flight but I lose like half a day.

This trip was kinda spurred on by my manager. Basically in my dept at cba, you have take 10 consecutive business days for block leave (some internal control to see if you’re doing anything dodgy). Anyway at one of our coffee catch ups she asks if i was doing anything but being me I said no. We talk about our shared interests inJapan a lot but so she linked me the prices for some decent flights but I was like I’ll probably just plan for next year.

My manager was like I never go anywhere when I take leave so guess this is how I’ve ended up packing my bags the night before.

It’ll be good though to get away from Sydney and take a break from family obligations and kind of just reset in a way.

I asked for recommendations of stuff to do, manager was telling me someone on our team basically went to Melbourne for hotpot so you know I had to get the names (think one was called panda and the other one was called tan something). Another workmate recommended Hawker Chan and I’ve been scrolling through TikTok for suggestions.

But yeah should be good, I’ll fly back the Monday cause I’m doing tennis again which has been fun (I don’t remember feeling so sore when I played as a kid so I guess I’m just getting old).

Next week we also have a work farewell for one of the associates who joined around the same time as me. Mate got a position in New York so heaps pumped for him. One of the activities was karaoke so I’m a little nervous cause it’s not with the usual Friday night crew who are used to my fcs (Filipino can’t sing)😅

Anyways to future Julius who’s reading this ‘Hello there 😀’.

Ps. I’ve been spamming Le sserafim lately and I’m hoping it’s just a phase that I’ll outgrow but Chaewon/Yunjin are chefs kiss. Also Jurin from XG oof

Top 10 kpop songs of October

Chasing That Feeling - TXT. Not surprising. It came out in October and I liked it quite a bit. Very synth ethereal. Don't like the choreo too much though, it's too sharp.

오늘 조금 취해서 그래 - Youha. Very not surprising. It'll probably be my top song of the year. What a glorious synth masterpiece.

Eyes Roll - (G)I-DLE. Coming in at #12 we have our third kpop song which is kinda surprising considering I didn't like it that much. It's fine, but ehh very standard I guess?

有吗炒面 ALGTR - Lexie Liu. Still confused by the title, but still a glorious synth guitar masterpiece. At #22.

Payback - Ive. Directly below ALGTR is the only Ive song I liked from their newest release. Nice and chill.

Flower Rain - Youha. At #32 is another top song of the year contender. Perhaps my favorite opening of all time.

Back For More (TXT Ver.) - TXT. Hip and groovy! Sexy and cool! Better than the collab ver. lmao.

Bubble - STAYC. At #45 is my fave bubblegum release of the year. A fun chorus, and a swag synth for the post-chorus.

GRL GVNG - XG. Right below Bubble is my favorite girl crush release of the year! I don't super like Maya/Jurin's rapping style, Cocona is my favorite, but that's a style matter. I love the instrumental and the lyrics slap surprisingly enough.

X-GENE - XG. At #47 is a surprise considering I only remember playing it like three times this month. It's a fine intro song but I wish companies weren't so afraid of releasing full-length songs.

Actual top song was, funnily enough, La Borinqueña (Sharks Version) from the 2021 West Side Story movie soundtrack. #3 was Howl's Moving Castle Theme, Kyle Landry's piano version. That's my music tastes for you I guess.

Top artists were: Taylor Swift, Lorde, Halsey, Marina, and Fall Out Boy, in that order. Fascinating. Been a while since I had guys in the top 5. Then Imagine Dragons, (G)I-DLE, TXT, Twice, Over The Garden Wall soundtrack, and Olivia Rodrigo. Truly fascinating stuff here.

[beautifulpersonpeach]

In the list of artists you'd like Jimin to collaborate with, there was a "Juria" in it. Was it Juria from XG that you were talking about? I've recently started to listen to that group and they're amazing! I'd love to hear your thoughts about Juria and XG if it was her that you mentioned in your list.

**

Hi Anon,

Yup that's the same Juria I'm talking about. I like XG a lot too! I mean, how can anyone not? Especially after their latest comeback. I've checked out their stuff since debut and one can tell the group is perfecting the formula they've centered their sound around i.e. 90s R&B and hiphop for grown women who know exactly what they want out of life.

Jurin is actually my favourite member in XG (the girl in the orange beanie), but I think Juria's vocals (the girl in the orange jumper/sweater) might complement Jimin's vocals more, which is why I mentioned her. Plus all the girls are solid dancers so either of them would be able to hold their own (somewhat) side by side with Jimin.

*

I've said before, I usually check out every new release and so I caught XG since their pre-debut activities. I wasn't really impressed till I saw their Tippy Toes dance practice, and since then I've noticed they've only gotten better and better. Their group chemistry is improving too, and for me that's the biggest indicator of a group that has the potential to go far.

I wish them all the luck.
