masterlist // part 1 // part 3

-----------------------------------------------

Previously on Red String:

“If Mr. Min saw you carrying her, you would need the medical room.” The guard’s words were blunt, but a little worrying.

“Mr. Min? You don’t mean…” Hong visibly paled as he looked down at you, his mind making the connection you didn’t want to say. His grip loosens as Hyunsoo takes you from his arms.

“I don’t need to remind you of the NDA you signed, do I, Hongmin?” The man who found you shook his head quickly, before looking down at you once more and walking away. You could almost see his body shaking as he did so.

Still unable to move your neck, you grumble into the guard’s chest.

“So, how’s it goin?” You ask, your brain’s defense system seeing sarcasm as its only choice.

The guard assigned to you was immensely stoic; silent in a way you couldn’t even crack a smile out of the man as you grumbled to yourself.

“You know, this was not how I wanted to spend my birthday. I imagined, well, hoped for, a nice drink and take out with a crappy movie I could laugh mindlessly to. Not having fate move against me and trap me against the bathroom door.”  The guard just kept walking, sometimes stopping to adjust you in his arms as your body arguably continued to let gravity do its job, more or less against your will but who were you to fight against fate when it went with your own wishes.

“So, where are we goin?” You asked him, trying to get the man to crack, but he just continued to ignore you. You weren’t going to give up though.

You could vaguely hear the music playing, the concert still happening as you were being brought to your doom. You wondered where the man was taking you, only slightly correct in the idea that you would be brought to a waiting room of some sort. However, you realized you were wrong when you were brought to a very nice room, three big couches taking up the left of the room while a couple of tables and vanities took up the other half.

The guard, and consequently you, only made it a couple of steps in before the door was being opened again. Well, more like the door was slammed open, almost flying off its hinges as the man you were trying to run from pushed his way into the room. You would have laughed at the growl coming from Yoongi’s lips if it wasn’t aimed in your direction, and a shiver raced up your spine. You were practically shaking in the guard’s arms!

Yoongi was surely gone, Agust D taking his place as the dark look in his eyes takes in your figure, resting in the arms of the guard he had assigned to watch you. He couldn’t explain the rage he felt when he saw you in the arms of someone else; someone who wasn’t him! You were his bond, his red string! He could feel the growing possessiveness he held for you, his instincts screaming at him.

“Sirs, I—” The guard tried to explain but began to stutter after being pinned with six other glares that accompanied Yoongi’s; looks that radiated anger and power looked at him, and only then did the guard realize what he was doing wrong. He didn’t understand why the guard was holding you when he said not to touch you.

Yoongi just held his hand up, stopping the man from continuing his apologies, and stepped forward, arms reaching to take you from him. You only grunted, not exactly wanting to be in Yoongi’s arms but unfortunately, the stupid soul tug was still in effect. You couldn’t fight against the idol who now tightened his embrace around you and cradled you to his chest like a lost kitten. Like he expected you to jump from his arms any second and run.

Well, he wouldn’t be wrong.

It’s not like I could make it far anyways. You answered the stupid voice in your head.

You ignored the warmth building in your veins, ignoring the way Yoongi’s touch had your body unwillingly relaxing into his arms as you tried to move your head to see where your strings led.

You had almost forgotten about your fourth string, now split into four other pieces, each leading to the members you had yet to meet. You had seven total strings and each one led to one of the boys.

Man, Lindsey was right.

Let’s not tell her that, though. You internally cringed, knowing exactly how your best friend would react. The words “I told you so” would not be the last thing leaving her mouth, unfortunately. She would never let you live this moment down. Ever.

You couldn’t hear anything Namjoon was saying to the guard who brought you here, only seeing the dragon eyes aimed at the shorter man, and the way the guard was nodding every couple seconds. Within a minute the guard had all but ran out of the door, Namjoon turning to you with a smirk on his lips.

You were about to make some remark to the taller man smirking at you but your breath whooshed out instead when Yoongi turned you around and sat down with you still in his arms. He adjusted you so your head was resting back against his shoulder and you were facing the room, feeling entirely too exposed.

“You’re not very good at running, are you?” Yoongi murmured into your ear, causing that stupid, heated blush to creep up your neck and ears. You could practically feel the damn smirk creeping on his lips.

“You knew I’d be here.” You stated, now having put everything together. They were responsible for your and Lindsey’s seat changes and for the guards keeping an eye on you., making you feel watched and panicked.

“We did say we wanted to speak with you in private…” You turn your head to see Taehyung and Jimin seated on a smaller loveseat to your right. Taehyung had a neutral expression but you could see in his eyes something different, while Jimin was just hopeful, watching your own facial expressions carefully.

You look down at Taehyung’s words, feeling the pain of rejection and hurt all over again. You didn’t think you wanted to have a conversation that would lead to where you thought it was going to, so you wanted to avoid it all together.

It seemed Yoongi could tell where your thoughts were going, moving his arm from around your waist to slowly trail his fingers up your arm and to your wrist, turning your left hand over connecting his palm with yours, intertwining his fingers with yours causing the thick, dark red string connecting you to glow for a couple of seconds before returning to normal. The bond snapping back into place after being incomplete from your first meeting.

The first stage of the bond, the soul tug, was meant to ensure that the bond was being completed. This meant you now couldn’t go be more than a few feet from any of the boys once you had physical contact. By you running, and now Yoongi holding you, the first stage had begun.

You try to leave his grip, feeling the tingling and numbness in your toes starting to disappear, but unfortunately, the rest of your body was not so lucky. When Yoongi noticed your attempts, he smiled smugly, taking advantage of the fact that you couldn’t move or leave him by holding you tighter against him.

“Do you not feel the tug? Do you not feel the way your body relaxes against Yoongi’s touch, even against your own subconscious?” Namjoon’s questions have you tensing again, not wanting to answer his question, instead you stare at your bonds, noticing the tugging sensation and the ripples in color whenever one of them moves.

“Do you not feel the bond you so obviously share with us, the one you continue to fight against?” Namjoon continues, frowning as Yoongi leans back to rest against the back of the couch, your body unhappily following along. Your cheeks grow hot again, your body working against you and showing the way you feel about the answers to his questions, completely giving you away to the intelligent leader.

“Ignoring the feelings you have for the bond; it does not ignore the fact that we are soulmates. Your strings are connected to ours. You are ours whether you like it or not. We aren’t going to let you go and we aren’t going to just let you walk out of here without us by your side.” You open your mouth in shock at the leader’s words, wondering where in the hell he got is audacity from?! The rest of the boys were nodding their heads in agreement, as if they had already discussed this.

Which they probably did, the little voice in your head tells you.

You ignore the voice and you ignore the butterflies in your stomach at Namjoon’s claim. You hadn’t realized how much you would love the idea of being claimed until it was staring you in the face, with a little tilt of the head and a raise of the eyebrow.

Before you could argue against his words, you could feel your phone in your back pocket vibrating. You sighed out in relief and hoped you could use this as an excuse to leave.

Lindsey you are a life saver! You praised your best friend in your head, only to start cursing as you felt Yoongi reaching for your phone, his hand resting just a little too long against the curve of your ass before taking your phone out of your pocket.

“Give me—" You’re cut off but Yoongi pressing the answer button and pressing your phone to his own ear.

“Where the hell are you dude? You disappeared and missed the entire concert! I’ve been looking for you everywhere and trying to think nice thoughts while one of those guards from earlier follows me around!”

“I’m sorry about that. You must be Lindsey?” Yoongi’s voice was soft, like velvet as he spoke to your friend. You were in shock at the change in his voice, from sultry to being as sweet and innocent as can be.

“Who is this and why do you have my best friend’s phone?”

“This is—”

“Is this Yoongi? Oh my god! Uhm, you know what, never mind. Just make sure she goes to bed on time. She gets cranky in the mornings.” Yoongi wasn’t even able to get a couple words out before Lindsey recognized his voice.

Hmm. It seems our little soulmate told her friend about us. And she approves. Yoongi hummed to himself as Lindsey hung up the phone after promising she would give your things to the guard following her, assuming that he was working with the boys and she was right.

“Well, it seems as though your friend is just fine with you coming home with us.” Yoongi’s smile brightened as he watched the others faces light up, Jungkook was especially excited as he knew you were his age. He hoped you liked to cuddle, seeing as the others never liked to stay in bed as long as he did.

“What… I…uh?” You stammered, brain moving too slow as you tried to come up with a way out if this, forgetting the fact you still couldn’t move.

You hear a slap and see Jungkook bouncing in his seat, clearly excited for you to come home with them. He was slapping his thighs and talking animatedly to Jin about all of the things he planned to do with you. You would have been completely endeared by his plan to play video games with you if you weren’t internally freaking out.

“I can’t go with you!” You blurted out, cringing a little at how loud you were.

“Why not?” Hoseok inquired; eyebrow raised as he watched you come up with an excuse.

“I, uhm, don’t have any clothes.” You replied, a little proud of your quick answer only for your smile to shatter at Jimin’s words.

“We can give you some!” You paled at his own excitement, not wanting to crush his plainly obvious feelings of hope. Strike one.

“I don’t have any of my things.” Someone knocked on the door, Jin moving around to reveal a man holding onto your bag making you rest your head back against Yoongi’s shoulder, trying to think.

“Look, your bag is right here.” Strike two.

“You guys must be really busy. I don’t want to bother you or anything…” Your last hope to weasel your way out of the situation was destroyed by Taehyung, his smile wide as he counters your words.

“Actually, we planned for you to come with us anyways. We have the next couple of weeks free. You know, we don’t want the soul pain to start.” Taehyung has his own moment of satisfaction as he sees your face pale at his words, knowing all of your plans to leave were thwarted by him. 

Fuck, you cursed.

How in the world did you forget about the soul pain period?

It’s not my fault! I forget a lot of things.

Well, now you can’t be more than a couple feet from them without immense pain. Good job.

You had completely forgotten that when a bonded person meets their soulmate or soul group, completely, for the first time, the string snaps together, leaving each person with only a few feet of leeway to move away. It could last for several days or weeks, depending on the bond and how many people are connected. With your luck and how the universe seems to be against you, you guessed it would be months before you were able to leave.

Strike three and you’re out.

-*-*-

You pouted the entire way to the boy’s home, unable to move even an inch from Yoongi’s arms without the slight pain tugging at your chest making you groan out and want to gouge your heart out. How dare your body do this to you?

The boys, on the other hand, were all making bets on how long you would try to fight them. They could tell this was just some sort of defense mechanism and were all building their own individual plans to make you theirs. They knew it was only a matter of time before you were seeking them out.

“Welcome home, baby.” Jin smiled down at you as he unlocked the door. It made your insides tingle and made your head hurt all at the same time. For a second you couldn’t remember why you were fighting against this, everything becoming jumbled together in your head. You couldn’t remember the fear you felt for the bond, the trauma from your last relationship almost disappearing from your mind as Jin smiled at you.

Your thoughts were forgotten when Namjoon placed his hand on your back, helping you inside, through the living room and down the hallway until you appeared at the entry of a room with a very large, wall to wall bed. It looked like the comfiest cloud of softness you had ever seen.

You were practically melting at the idea of being able to lay in the soft warmth you could only imagine you would feel.

“Why don’t you get changed, baby.” Jungkook couldn’t help but smirk at your face, the way it changed from adoration to a deadpan as you looked up at him.

“I’m not changing in front of you.”

“Baby, I can almost guarantee you’re going to want to strip in front of me eventually…if it’s not me undressing you.” Jungkook retorted, smirk growing into a devilish grin as your eyes narrowed.

“You wish I would undress for you.” You snap back, trying to take a step back only for the tug to bring you closer than before. This makes Jungkook’s grin widen.

“Baby, it’s not a wish.” Jungkook pushes further, an inch away from being able to steal a kiss from your lips, and boy was he tempted!

Until he noticed the fear behind your eyes, causing him to step back and turn around. He was mortified! You had thought he was going to force himself on you?! He needed to talk to the others, but how were they going to do that when the soul tug was active?

When you were finished changing into the oversized shirt and shorts, you timidly tapped on Jungkook’s shoulder.

“I’m uh, I’m changed now.” Your entire demeanor had shifted, flashback after flashback trying to steal your vision as you forced yourself not to shake. You were scrappy, you knew that, but only to defend your own mind from what it saw as a threat. 

You could not put yourself in a position to be vulnerable again. (But you also didn’t want to let on that anything was wrong. You couldn’t have that conversation. Not right now, hopefully not ever.)

“I’m sorry if I pushed you. I was only teasing.” Jungkook tried to apologize, his hand reaching out to grasp onto your arm but you flinched away from him, the soul tug allowing you a few feet leeway.

“It’s uh, it’s okay.” You rushed out, trying to end the conversation before you could imagine where it would go. But Jungkook was observant, and he could practically feel the pain in your heart. Something happened. Something that had you flinching away and fighting a soul bond.

And he had a bad feeling about it.

TNX falling asleep on their s/o, just fluff about it and maybe a little bit of teasing from the other members after they woke up

Happy Hour.

Request: TNX falling asleep on their s/o

Pairing: TNX x gn!reader

Warning: none - please tell me if i need to add any

Tags: fluff

note: this has been in my drafts for forever and i finally got to finish it! I hope you like it. Btw the stories are kinda connected, so no i did not run out of ideas...

Taehun

It was quiet on the drive to the hotel. The boys were either on their phones or asleep. You looked to the side when you felt a weight pressing onto your shoulder. Taehun had fallen asleep and chosen your shoulder over the window. You pressed his hand that was lying in your lap a little, and left a breath of a kiss on his hair. To say that no one noticed him sleeping on you, would be a massive lie. Everyone did. So it was no surprise that when he came to breakfast the next morning that the members started exchanging looks. When he noticed he gave Kyungjun, who was sitting opposite of him, a questioning look. "Slept well?" He asks in response, making Junhyeok almost spit out his orange juice. The younger boy hadn't expected Kyungjun being the one to tease him first. Taehun was confused. "What?"

Kyungjun

You both had planned a movie night in his dorm while the others were still at the company. The TV was still on and he had made himself comfortable between your legs. He was lying with his head on your chest, pretty much hugging your sides with the way his arms were trapped under you. Your hands were in his hair tugging lightly on the loose ends. Before he knew it he fell asleep, with you soon following. When the members came back, the end credits were rolling and the both of you were sound asleep on the couch. Sungjun was the first to notice and without hesitation he pulls his phone out, taking pictures of the oldest member. The others noticed now too and it was hard for them to not burst out laughing. They definitely won't let him hear the end of it as soon as he wakes up.

Hyunsoo

You were sitting on the floor in the practice room. Your back was leaning against the mirror wall. You were scrolling on your phone. Hyunsoo had his eyes closed. He was lying on his back, his head was on your lap. You weren't sure if he was asleep or not. Your free hand was in his hair, scratching his scalp lightly as the door opened. You looked up from your phone. Hwi was standing in the door, when he saw you looking at him he raised his hand as to wave at you and walked more into the room. Hyunsoo shifts slightly so that he basically had his face pressed into your belly. Hwi was grinning and you had a slight suspicion when he crouched down in front of your boyfriend. He had his phone in his hand and not even one minute later he had sent a picture in the groupchat with the caption "I guess we need to reschedule dance practice today." You had a hard time not laughing out loud.

Junhyeok

Your date had been ruined by the weather. It was pouring outside, leaving you stuck at the dorms. At some point of the evening the both of you had moved to his shared room, making yourself comfortable on his bed. You had gone from talking to just lying next to each other - or more like on each other. Junhyeok had made himself comfortable on top of you. He was lying more then half on you, basically caging you in between him and the matress. You didn't mind. The rain had stopped and you didn't know how much time had passed. You felt Junhyeoks chest rise and fall evenly. He had fallen asleep. It was dark outside when a quiet knock sounded from the door. You were already half asleep, when Taehun opened the door, peaking carefully inside. It is safe to say that Taehun didn't sleep in his room tonight. And breakfast the next morning was accompanied by a full on power point presentation of pictures of Junhyeok sleeping that had you roaring with laughter.

Hwi

You had visited him in his studio and had waited for him to finish. There was an empty fried chicken box standing on the glass table infront of you. You had made yourself comfortable on the couch. You were laying on top of him, your legs entangled with each other. His hand was drawing eights on to your back, leaving a light trace of goosebumps on your arms. As the time passed the feeling on your back subsided and Hwi's breathing turned even. You turned your head to look at him. His hair was falling onto his eyes. Carefully you pushed it back, feeling your eyes become heavy while looking at him. When you woke up Hwi was already awake. He turned his phone display in your direction showing you something. He had the TNX groupchat open. Hyunsoo had sent a picture of you two sleeping with the caption "I guess we need to reschedule the recording today." You let your head fall onto your boyfriends chest.

Sungjun

It was late when you came back from the concert. You were in your hotel room with your boyfriend. The both of you had fallen asleep almost immediately when your head had hit the pillow. You didn't even think about setting an alarm. So when you woke up you were convinced you still had time before meeting with the others. That way you cuddled up more to your boyfriend. You felt his arm tigthening around your waist and closed your eyes again. The next time you woke up was because Sungjun had moved his arm from under your head. "I don't care why you're not up yet, but we were supposed to meet downstairs fifteen minutes ago. So please get up now." You blinked and looked at a pretty much annoyed Taehun. Sungjun groaned and hid his face in one of the pillows. After being rushed out of the room, you checked your phone for the first time after being woken up. You had seven missed calls and over thirty messages. In the groupchat there were pictures of you and Sungjun sleeping. You rolled your eyes.

The Jinbok Origin Story

One of the benefits of being toddler ARMY is the amount of content that you still have to watch and the connections you make as you watch them. Taehyung's Running Man teaser made me think of Jin on Running Man, and then got me looking for some more Jin content to watch and let's face it what better way to connect with the originator of Eat Jin than a cooking show.

So the show is called "Chef and my Fridge" or "Please take care of my fridge" and Jin and Jimin appeared on it in October 2017. The idea behind the show is to bring the refrigerator from your home (in this case the BTS dorm) look through the contents and then give two chefs 15 minutes to make a delicious meal with what they find there. The first clip explores the food that BTS have access to in their dorm. Not surprisingly it is pretty poor pickings. Lots of drinks, instant rameyon, chicken sausages, and copious tins of whelks.

So then the poor chefs are given their ingredients and get to work. Chef Yoo Hyunsoo decides to make a whelk version of pad thai with chicken sausages disguised as shrimps. Yep you heard right.

Chef Lee Yeonbok, on the other hand, decides to make kkanpunggi style whelks as well as a whelk cream soup. This is when I started thinking, "hmmm I've seen this guy somewhere before".

So 15 minutes is not a long time and they are both running with the disadvantage that Jimin has already stated that he doesn't like seafood and whelks are the main ingredient.

Then Jin says that BTS love kkanpunggi and always order it at the Chinese restaurant. Scales are tipping in Chef Lee's favour.

This is the face Jin makes when Chef Lee crushes the garlic with his big chopper. Love is in the air.

Both dishes look pretty impressive and Jimin is stunned that all this was made with ingredients from the BTS fridge.

Sadly for Chef Yoo Hyunsoo the sausage shrimps fail to convince but what do they think of Chef Lee's food?

Jin is effusive in his praise but can Jimin be persuaded to enjoy seafood?

The kkanpunggi is a resounding success but what about the cream soup?

Oh yes, the writing is on the wall and Chef Lee is the outright winner of the competition.

What he didn't realise at the time is that he had won another prize. Jin asked for his phone number after the show.

It was the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

He even appeared in Jin's cooking vlog last year, one of the top three vlogs from the guys at least for me. Jin is a rare and strange human being but he seems to be pretty straightforward in his relationships. If he picks you, you have a friend for life. I was late to the party in appreciating Jin but now he has a special place in my heart.

[andaniellight]

something something i'd know you blind, i'd know you in death, at the end of the world something something

okay sorry I'm back again with my bullshit again with these two because I just noticed (from another watching session, again) this tiny little detail at the beginning where Hyunsoo first noticed Jaehyuk at the airport

Hyunsoo actually was checking his phone THE WHOLE. FUCKING TIME. HE'S WALKING ACROSS JAEHYUK.

He had his head down probably checking the weather, his schedule and other things on his phone !!!

He shouldn't be able to notice he's passing Jaehyuk with his daughter then, right??? Look at it. He kept looking down at his phone as Jaehyuk walked straight ahead, even as they're about to pass each other-

EVEN WHEN THEY'RE FINALLY PARALLELED..... side by side as they headed to different directions, Hyunsoo would NOT be able to KNOW it's Jaehyuk... the man should've only been a blur on the corner of his eye.......... and yet...................

HMMM................................................

HMMMMMMMMMMMM OKAY YEAH SURE.

Either way! There's no way in Hell Jaehyuk wasn't someone who's always been part of Hyunsoo's intense routine, someone SO important to Hyunsoo before he lost his wife, if he could recognize Jaehyuk by the blurry side profile alone in the crowd on his way to the one job that connected him to Jaehyuk, his dead wife, and everything in between

[lgcseojin]

So, I am currently working on a connections page ( yeah... I should be writing... and plotting... but hear me out ) for both Seojin & Hyunsoo. I will be including many of the people I have plotted with in depth or threaded with a few times already. If you'd like to be on their pages and see what both of them think of your muse, hit me up to plot and we can build a beautiful ( or not so beautiful ) relationship!

【✖】  LEGACY HALL BATTLE — S3E2

He had caught a glimpse of the accessories for his second episode when an intern had opened ta box and gushed about the items being real. He hadn't connected the dots until he glanced down at his cue-cards, lower lip trembling comically when he realizes that he had no choice in reading the script. It hadn't been too long of a pause, but he hears the producer whispering his name repeatedly to finish and transition into the first round.

His special guest for the second episode was not only someone he was lucky that he could refer to as one of his bestfriends, but someone that he held in high esteem too. He had met his friend during his secondary school years, but not much had changed about their contrasting personalities since. However, the two of them had learned to embrace and celebrate each other's differences, always upholding their non-verbal agreement to accept the other person without one-sided expectations of the other changing for the other. Unfortunately, Hyunsoo was the one that he couldn't selfishly convince to stick it out and become a performer with him.

"While our theme for today is unknown, our mission should be obvious to the viewers, don't you think, Hyunsoo?" He glances over at his friend, trying to convey to him that he hadn't written the script and he wanted to be edited out on the spot. If he looked over at the staff, he could have pointed out the intern cheesing with amusement and holding the flower crowns for him to take. He had asked for the interns to become more involved, but he hadn't mean this level of goofing off at his expense. He catches the flower crowns thrown at him, releasing a soft noise of shock when he realizes that the real flowers were more sturdy than he had expected. He hands one to Hyunsoo, placing the other on top of his head. "With our charming personalities and flower boy visuals, we will ensure to brighten your day! If you're not completely satisfied, leave a comme— Please do not leave comment, or do... but only with compliments. Let's start with our first round, shall we?"

-ˋˏ ◡  BETWEEN SUMMER & WINTER / @lgcminseo

Seo Minseo is what the kids would refer to as 'a real one' — someone with enough kindness and generosity to offer a friend assistance in any time of need; regardless of what it meant sacrificing for herself. Now, Hyunsoo had been faced with a certain dilemma inflicted upon him by his mother. She was always insistent that he would marry whomever she deemed fit for him, even if it meant arranging him on numerous blind dates with the daughters of colleagues or industry connections that were suitable to her standards. Personality and Hyunsoo's own tastes or feelings on the matter were never of any consequence to her.

However, with Minseo, he crafted the perfect solution that she just so happened to accept. Under the guise that she pose as his girlfriend, he has not seen a date forced on him since May. It is a relief; albeit, a temporary solution. In fact, his mother is all too pleased with his 'selection'. Minseo is still the daughter of parents that Hwang Jiyoon held in high esteem. Not to mention, the girl herself meets all of the criteria beyond that: beautiful, accomplished, polite, and not to mention, her talent for singing as a bonus.

Hyunsoo should have eventually expected for this current outcome he now finds himself in. The two of them are urged by their fathers to tag along on their excursion to the golf course, happy to leave their wives lounging by the pool to soak up the last remnants of warm air.

He does not renege on the promise to maintain the illusion. They sport matching shirts — powder blue, a color similar shade to the sky above the lush green hills. He exhales a heavy sigh, shoulders slumping as his father hands him his golf bag to carry. The man is all smiles when in company with Minseo's father; a rare sight only witnessed outside of his mother's scrutiny.

"Why don't you both go along ahead and get a golf cart and... I'll take Minseo to get a snack or drink? You can swing by and pick us up." Hyunsoo offers the suggestion with a firm but polite tone, earning a confirming nod from both of their fathers. He turns to Minseo and clears his throat, hesitating before he grabs for her hand. He makes certain to intertwine their fingers. Palm to palm, the action gives off the appearance of more intimacy. With eyes at their back at all times, it is important to dedicate to the act wholeheartedly, lest the illusion fade and their facade is uncovered.

He leans in towards her to speak, now that they are some distance away. "I think there is still time to make a run for it. They will hardly notice we're gone, right?"

@idleds asked: 20 from hyunsoo 😇

he can't breathe. air goes in just as fast as it leaves him. not a single molecule seems to permeate his lungs, and julien feels vitriol burning all the way to the marrow of his bones. never before has he felt so furious, so fucking humiliated. in all the years he's borrowed from the air of this planet, julien has never raised a hand against another person. he's better than that, would never resort to such barbarianism when he has the intelligence to work his way out of anything.

until tonight.

julien can't breathe, and he despises it. even as he sprints down the corridor, he feels his hands shaking with a ferocity he can't control. he hasn't felt so lost inside his own body since the day he woke up in the hospital, two days after his heart stopped for a whole three minutes, just hours after he was struck down by a speeding car. it wasn't the first time he'd willingly locked himself in a room with a known criminal. it wasn't even the first time he'd been cornered, or propositioned, or touched despite several definite no's. it was, however, the first time anyone struck him for talking back.

in a split-second, julien feels his body move faster than he's ever seen. he watches his hand swipe through the air before a sharp crack follows. after that, his memory fades. moments or minutes later, hyunsoo is pulling him off a motionless body and yelling at him to get out. they have to leave before anyone connects them to the scene, or else everything they've worked for will have been for nothing. it's not until they're in the car does julien feel himself settle back into his body and take his first real breath. his voice still feels faraway when he speaks, but at least he can be sure it's himself.

"i didn't kill him."

setting: yuansoo’s apartment, july 2021 with: @fmdhyunsoo

ever since they had received the news that hyunsoo’s older sister hyemin was expecting her first baby, yuanjun had been over the moon. yuanjun came from a small family, just himself and his parents really and growing up, the house had always felt a little too quiet with him. hyunsoo on the other hand, came from a big family, a handful of siblings all of which were significantly older with children of their own. yuanjun adores all of hyunsoo’s nieces and nephews, gladly spending time and playing with them whenever they got to visit the kims. but hyemin having her first baby was just a little bit extra special, she was the sibling hyunsoo (and by extension yuanjun) had always been the closest with, only making things more exciting.

there were still months left before hyemin was due to give birth but hyunsoo and yuanjun had long since decided they wanted to give her and the baby a special present, rather than to buy something, they would make her a plushie by themselves. hyunsoo had allowed him to work out the design (which would be a dinosaur, everyone liked dinosaurs after all) and with most of the planning done all that was left was to assemble their little masterpiece.

neither of them were particularly skilled in the task at hand, it would probably come out a little wonky but that was okay, it would only add to the charm. “i’m just saying... we should get word in with hyemin for her to name the baby after me.” yuanjun commented, lifting his gaze up from the soft, pastel pink fabric printed with strawberries that he cutting the pannels of the plushie out of with a pair of fabric scissors. their gameplan was simple, yuanjun would cut out the different pieces of fabric and hyunsoo would sew them together, simple as could be. “i’m so excited to be a godparent hyunnie! we’re gonna give this lil baby so many presents, they have to be the most spoiled little angel in the world! they simply must!”

setting: bc entertainments recording studios, mid november 2020 with: @fmdhyunsoo​

minah tried her best to stay up to date on what most of her fellow bc artists were up to in their day to day lives. not surprising considering the fact she was pretty close to most her labelmates. minah was pretty close friends with those that had debuted and had taken it upon herself to take most of her juniors under her wing, it was only fair she kept up with what they were all doing. how else was she supposed to keep an eye on them?

so when the news of hyunsoo’s upcoming solo debut made it’s way around bc entertainment before reaching minah, she had to go make sure to congratulate him. luckily, it didn’t prove to be a difficult task to find him, almost walking into hyunsoo as he exited one of the recording studios around the company’s headquarters. “ah! hyunsoo, it’s good to see you!” she beamed warmly at the boy, neck craned up to look him in the eye. “it’s been a while, have you grown even taller in the meantime?” questionable, the boy was past the age where he still grew a lot but those were details. “what are you doing around here? working on your solo debut? you must be really excited!”

Everything You Left Behind | Cha Hyunsoo [Sweet Home]

hyunsoo x gn!reader // (platonic)

summary: with you gone, guilt takes over hyunsoo’s mind

warnings: suicide, mentions of suicide self-destruction & self-harm

my obsession with kizuato from given brought you this

Hyunsoo sat on his bed, staring at the ceiling. It was one of those days again. One of those days when he missed you and all the things you did together. He missed you everyday actually, you used to be together 24/7 after all.

He saw you everyday but he failed to notice that you were hurting too. The pain in your eyes when you treated his cuts, the suffering in your eyes when you comforted him. He failed to notice them all. Maybe it was because he only focused on his feelings, that’s not a good excuse though.

You hated the world too and you needed him to take care of you or at least show you some attention just like you did to him. But he never did. He was mad at you. Mad at you for not sharing your feelings and concerns with him. But then again how could you? He was always down, bruised and depressed when you met him.

He is more mad at himself though, he hates himself. He wasn’t sure why you left. The letter you left for him never said something about how you felt. Not even your last words to him confessed how you felt.

Did you have those scars too? Did you hurt yourself to feel better too? Did you also struggle to breathe while sobbing? Did you also think you weren’t worthy either? Was he the reason you left?

So many questions unanswered. He should have known the answers before you disappeared from this world. He should have asked you how your day went too. He should have been there when you cried alone too. He should have told you that he loved you and appreciated you for sticking to his side. He should have told you that you were the sole reason he held on. He should have been there for you like a real best friend does.

He looked at his only manga collection on his desk. Maria From The Sky, your favourite. You never talked about yourself but you always went off about this manga. He remembers how your eyes sparkled when you talked about it.

Your mother gave him the volumes and he’ll never forget how much he cried while holding the box that they were in. He has read them more than two times each, occasionally taking a break between them to choke some of his sobs because they reminded him of you.

Would you still be here if he had offered you to read them to him?

“The live action is coming out soon, I am sure you would love to watch it.” He spoke to the picture of you two he had on his drawer, a few tears staining his shirt. They fell so quickly, he had no time to wipe them away.

You alway wiped his tears away and hugged him when he felt worthless.

He was planning to watch the live action alone at the local cinema, record it and show it to you when he pays a visit to your grave. He rarely goes out of the house but he decided to for you. He would be able to watch the movie a few days later on the internet but he knows that if you were here, you would make him go with you to the cinema to watch it together.

He got up from his bed to go to the bathroom but tripped. The cups of noodles he had been eating for the past week got in his way. Chicken noodles, your favourite. He hardly ever ate something else. You would always slurp them down together after a good cry of his, you even gave him a small portion of yours since he ate too quickly and you didn’t want him to wait for you to finish.

He eyes landed on the bracelet on his wrist. It used to belong to you, it was the one you wore all the time. No matter the day, you were always seen wearing it. Now he is the one wearing it every single day. He wore it on his right hand, right above his cuts.

Without knowing, he started crying. He has cried so much over you, he thought his heart would be dead by now.

Will he ever feel completely okay again? No, because you are not here.

He implusively stood up and went to his drawer. He got your letter out and ripped the part of it that said: Don’t blame yourself for this, I had fun with you!

He stared at the piece of paper in his hand, his tears eventually blurring his vision.

He folded it and held it tightly close to his heart. He wanted to throw it away, rip it into pieces... but he couldn’t. These were your last words to him, he shouldn’t have thought of getting rid of them in the first place. He blamed himself for your death a lot and you mentioning it on your letter proved how well you knew him.

This time, instead of choking his sobs, he let them all out. He missed you too much and if the world heard, it wouln’t matter.

“Everything you left behind became my everything.”

Days will continue to go by and you won’t be here. Summer, spring, fall and winter will come and go and you won’t be here.

The things he never got to tell you will make him suffer until he forgets about you. He’ll continue to surround himself with the things that you liked and enjoyed to remember you fondly. He’ll treasure those things, now and forever.

To be honest, he still waits for you to come get him out of his room to hang out or walk.

He hopes to see you in his dreams but even if he does, it’s not the same. The image of you from the last day he saw you is printed on his mind. You were smiling but secretly hurting and he had no idea.

No one understood him like you did. Your bond was unique. Even now that you’re gone, he still feels connected to you.

Maybe you two were much more similar than Hyunsoo knew you were.
