Two Kids Room SERIES I.

stray kids addition au: yiji x seungmin

→ casual conversations in ODDINARY ERAS “2 KIDS ROOM”

-

Yjii shielded her face from the incoming attacks of Seugnmin’s targeted wrath with using plushies as a weapon.

“Stop smacking me with PuppyM, this is animal abuse!”

Seugnmin laughed at her failed attempt to reel back her figure each time the chibi sized stuffed animal connected with her face, continuing his vicious barrage against the girl.

“Well at least you finally admitted it,” Seungmin commented, a shit eating grin forming across his features.

A brief silence settled amongst the two until the literal lightbulb went off over Yiji’s head.

“Wait.. am I the animal?”

Seugnmin said nothing as he continued to laugh obnoxiously at her sudden realization.

“Kim Seungmin am I the animal?!”

CUT

“Seungmin! Yiji! Seung-yi room!”

Yiji’s eyes lit up as she made her way onto the familiar set once more, scents of vanilla emanated from the two perfectly crafted cupcakes with an off-white frosting that sat smack-dab in the center of the coffee table. Each of their SKZOO’s were tucked cutely beside a letter board that spelled out “Seung-yi”, decorated with smalls appliqués of stars and hearts.

“Seugnminnnn,” Yiji whined, extending her arms out in-front of her, signifying that she was in desperate need of a hug from her favorite person on the planet.

Seungmin was completely unfazed by Yiji’s antics, allowing her to plop down beside him and wrap her arms tightly around his torso as she proceeded to squeeze the life out of him.

“Are you the hulk now or what?” Seungmin teased, poorly attempting to look anywhere else besides the twinkling babydoll eyes Yiji had come to master over the years.

CUT

Talk about YIJI x SEUNGMIN

Hyunjin: Seungmin is Yiji’s boyfriend

Han: I thought I was her boyfriend?

Jeongin: What kind of conversation is this?

Hyunjin: Yiji likes Seungmin a lot, she is most affectionate with him

Jeongin: She acts so cute with him.. it is odd, he secretly enjoys her silliness

CUT

“STAYs really enjoy seeing us together”, Seungmin confessed as he dove his plastic fork into the cupcake before him.

“Ah, really? We’re popular then”.

Yiji always found Seungmin to be endearing, even if the time in each other’s presence was spent doing something as simple as talking, it was always meaningful.

“We used to be semi-roommates when we first debuted” Yiji spoke, thinking back to a memory that seemed so far away now. “You and Jisung fought every once in a while so, I would sleep in his bed and he would lock himself in my bedroom across the dorm”.

Seungmin closed his eyes gently, almost as if he was trying to transport himself back to five years ago.

Things were a lot different then.

“Jisung is a sensitive person I think, and back then there were a lot of misunderstandings because our humor did not mesh well all time”, he confessed. “You helped a lot in that way, by simply being there rather than trying to get in-between things.

Yiji nodded along as he spoke, exhaling a slight hum to confirm each point in the conversation.

“It was really lonely for me at first when I moved into the hyune-racha dorm, I missed hanging out in your space”, she confessed as she let her head fall atop of Seungmin’s shoulder.

“I missed hanging out with you too”.

CUT

Chan: When Yiji and Seungmin first met they didn’t interact much at all outside of schedules

Changbin: Yi-An has a cold exterior that takes time to understand, they’re opposites in that way

Chan: Yiji relies a lot on Seungmin when recording too, her singer is Kim Seungmin

Minho: Ah, don’t tell Hyunjin that he will be heart broken

Changbin: Seungmin has changed Yiji as a person in different ways, that is why they’re a lot closer lately

CUT

“Do you remember our first flight to K-CON after we debuted?” Seungmin asked in a sly tone, indicating he had some sort of sarcastic ulterior motive.

Abruptly, Yiji rolled her eyes and removed her head from the comfortable spot on his shoulder. Releasing a loud groan, she sighed knowing exactly where he was going with bringing up this memory.

“Do not retell this story”, she whined, smacking him playfully on the arm. “It’s embarrassing”.

Yiji has gone through so much, each of her insecurities and fears are things Seungmin wishes he could keep locked away, buried beneath the earth in an impenetrable box that no one would ever dare to find.

He cared deeply for her, sometimes in a way he didn’t even know he could.

Yiji deserved someone who was determined to understand her and without saying anything at all, Seungmin grabbed hold of that responsibility and had no intention of ever letting it go.

Before he could become too absorbed in his thoughts, Seungmin continued. “You were absolutely terrified of flying to the point your legs were wobbling like a little baby deer”.

Followed by a dramatic noise of protest, Yiji shamefully hid behind both of her hands.

Admiration and contentment, Yiji let her walls down around Seungmin and he did the same. He made it safe for her to feel. An unspoken bond that the both of them treasured immensely.

“Kim Seungmin”, Yiji spoke softly, separating her fingers to peak out

“Yeah?”

Just as Yiji was about to finish her thought, she pursed her lips slowly, her mind to continuing to wander amongst the many reasons she was eternally grateful for Seungmin.

“I think you and I were meant to meet in this life”, she smiled, now allowing herself to look at him wholly. “You have made me into a worth-while person”.

TO SEUNGMIN FROM YIJI:.

To the little devil on my shoulder ٩(^‿^)۶

You have brought so much fun in the form of chaos to my life. My devious singer, Kim Seungmin. I can’t wait to grow old with you and be idols until we retire >:’)

#SeungYi forever <3

TO YIJI FROM SEUNGMIN:.

To my favorite roommate

Yi-An Jihae, I am glad I got to meet you in this life too. I like your smile even more these days.

p.s. you are the animal..

[transmutationisms]

have u ever talked abt their choice to use dasha on succ 😭

no lol. i heard she had connections at hbo, which i haven't verified but would explain a lot about how she got cast. overall probably one of the worst choices the show has ever made, in terms of both casting and writing. boring performance of a boring character that seems to come at direct expense of giving jihae more to do, in a season with numerous other characters who are badly underwritten (lisa, josh, stewy, marcia). if they wanted to do the greg heterosexual social climber subplot there were like a thousand other ways to accomplish that. i assume the casting also had an element of stunt casting to it, like, put this edgelord 'leftist' on the capitalism satire show. overall really unimaginative and irritating.

[pionia-milly]

Watch "박정희의 성격을 건드린 부하.. 마지막 순간" on YouTube

For koreans ) since Kim, Jaegyu in military to KCIA so many thing happened he was a problem make creature and never married that wasn't nomal at that time and he collected every politicians and army including President's family by phone. So many things happened to Korea since he stepped in Korea. Korea's old military leaders were collage-master degrees and Korean military school like Korean West Point professors with Korean war experience persons, they were highly intelligent include Jung, Seungwha and Jang, Taehwan.. Since Kim monster in Seoul nobody was safe including JP and my mother's husband lost money from them because he came from North Korea at war time and fact is this he was not only one. So many from North Korean who becam South Korean civilian were lost their property in the name of red spy and use President name and they mocked to joy about last day he drunk whiskey but many civilians are had whiskey at home by Mije ajumma lol. We had Jonny walker back, Cognac, Chivas regal.. in living room by Mije Ajumma lol. When president fie his wach was chep Seiko somebody gave him but Seoul's middle class daughter wach was Gucci, my wach was a Gucci and second Brad new wach too lol and my mother gave me her gift was diamond bracelet and earrings it was popular to Seoul's mother for daughter at that time around me high school graduation gift and I grew up middlclass in Seoul and my mother gave her gift leather rock and roll jacket and poetry book when I went to middle school. Korean mother's put money together and buy things and traveling was very popular at that time in Seoul, they did piano, diamond everthing and their helthy friendships were on- going thing in their life time It call Chinmok Gye lol. And my father was a good military man and he liked 4 star General Jeong, Seunghwa. One day Kim, Jiha caught and came to my father he was a handsome and smart student so my father thought he had to servive and talked president Park for save this young student for country so they hidden original story for save him, so I think somebody copied useing his name because adults thought he was a very hansome and smart young student for country's future and someday he do good for country. After he used by his people came again and there was no president or my father lol. That time military was ruined by one psycophs and he got all good people's stars himself and went to Prsident but First Lady knew he wasn't a good guy. He was a single creature and stars thief.

My father went to financial department and president and my father were not in this world, they gone with original story. They couldn't have 5 thefts original story because that original story was not in this world anymore lol. My father showed up my dream he is well in pradise and presidant Park asked to me red tea so I sad yes but I never saw him in my life anyway I plugged pot but he disappeared so I woke up, maybe my big mouth know some of his story? I don't know so I wrote good side story maybe I have a key about him? what I know and I don't feel any shame for this world about truth. I know is I know and I don't know is I don't know and president disliked who opposed his project because he was at that time a dictator but a honest dictator for country at that time, his law caught my big brother because long hairvlol so my father took him home few times lol, but he was love of only his hometown peoples, it was not true. Truth make me free and no shame feeling because about truth XD think about Korea's prak Jeonghee time, his time is before Kim, Shinjo and after Kim, Shinjovand what he made for country and Kim. Jaegyu on after Kim, Shinjo incident and very problem everywhere. JP and his connection were very hard time, so it effected our home too. Yi, Hurak was hard time, Park, Jeonhee was ongoing very hard time and he lost his wife and Kim, Jakyu listened Park's kids telephone or following their life and creat Choi, Taemin story which were false stories and everything fiction and created gossip about ongoing story like monkey Island because Kim, Monster wasn't a Korean. He can't be a Korean.

He got in Bluehouse because Kim, Shinjo incident but true was he is not a person who caught Kim, Shinjo but he created Hongeun neighborhood accident like 5,18 because Korean military were in mountain looked for spy and caught but Houngen neighborhood got shot by helicopter and no military knew why civilians got attacked by military? Who ordered that? It is like 5,18 in Jeolla province and I hate to hear about old general were stupid lol. Old general made korean west point and professor with bachelor to master degrees and they went USA too. So new military group's mind set is wrong and they became one destroyed system for them. They became politicians not military mind. This was the problem too. Who wrote about old military their brain is not nomal than why most new military people's background were so shaby? So I think new military becamevonevwas Kim, Shinjo incident and they worked everywhere and started plan for 10 years <- I think so android military trust system but new group made problems so old couldn't move up and single man kim, Jaegyu made their world It call Damhap in korean and became shaby time in Korea lol so I leaved Korea. I like painting and look beautiful thing for my world but Korea was so shaby at that time to me. How come teacher had to under them or Norway to moved up because knew JP or else and creat some incidents for new militarie's teacher? And I think old military people's family background was better from jokbo(family tree) to other circumstances, our family tree has Joseon dynasty prime persons( yeongeujeongs wueujengs) and 70s top class people. To me it was Yangban vs Under Cheonmin it was to shaby and my father's nose was high and strait with perfect lips lol

setting: unity’s dorm with: @fmdjihae

the aftermath of the party hadn’t just been a killer hangover, it had also consisted out of a gut-wrenching sense of guilt. he’d messed up, his drunken rambling had gone too far and it wasn’t fair to hyunsoo but also not to jihae, who still had no clue about what had happened. which meant yuanjun had to do what he’d been putting off for a while now, actually talk to jihae about his thing for hyunsoo. before, yuanjun had believed he could keep it to himself, it was just something in his head anyway but now, in some way, he had acted on it, which meant he really had to tell jihae already.

it took a few days for their schedules to line up but the second they had both been free, yuanjun had made sure he’d been over at unity’s dorm immediately, which was how he had ended up in this position, sitting on jihae’s bed, playing with his hands in his lap to keep the nerves at bay. the talk they were about to have could just ger ugly and yuanjun didn’t think he was ready for that. “hae...” he started looking for the right words, shooting his boyfriend a forced smile in the hope it would keep the air from going tense. "what do you- have you ever considered having feelings for multiple people at the same time?”

[fmdjaewonarchive]

jihae: listen jaewon hyung, in this world, it’s either yeet or be yeeted

jaewon, in distress: i’m so confused please i’m literally begging you to stop.

⸢ promise | past ⸥

@bachanaliia

jihae and youngjin are barely three months into dating when the inevitable happens. his boyfriend is called away for a mission that requires his presence and assistance for at least a week. it’s a sting from a case that’s had yongjin tense for the longest while, one that even jihae hasn’t been able to distract him from fully. he’s still a trainee for nis, still having to sleep in the dorms on nights he doesn’t go to yongjin’s, and therefore he isn’t privy to all the information, but yongjin has told him things here and there. it’s enough to know that nailing the criminals resposible is important to yongjin.

it’s not enough to keep him from worrying himself sick over his boyfriend’s well-being, however.

the thing that probably bugs him most about it is that it isn’t even the first time since they met one another that yongjin is having to go away. before now, there would be days at a time he wouldn’t see the other man, disappointment and concern ringing in the back of his mind, but it’s nothing compared to now when the mere thought of yongjin and the mission and the outcome has his insides twisting. the only difference is that before yongjin had been a friend he’d secretly crushed on while now, he’s his lover and someone he’s undoubtedly head over heels for. it sounds shallow thinking that way but he can’t help it– the closer they’ve gotten, the more jihae wants yongjin’s presence to be a static fixture in his life.

he thinks yongjin has similar thoughts.

in the days leading up to his boyfriend’s trip, they’re practically inseparable. every spare moment is spent with one another, meals are eaten together if yongjin’s work schedule allows for it. jihae practically moves into yongjin’s apartment for the time being because he wants to ensure that the first and last thing he sees in the day is yongjin’s face, eyes memorizing his every feature while he clings to him under their cocoon of blankets, the only space between them is when nyx wiggles her way into bed. he feels dramatic for being like this, but if yongjin has any complaints over it then he doesn’t voice them– he’s simply still himself and jihae appreciates the normalcy even if he notices that yongjin’s smile doesn’t always reach his eyes when he talks about the trip.

the day for yongjin to leave finally arrives and it’s much too fast for jihae’s liking. he’s sitting on the edge of yongjin’s bed, nyx perched in his lap and his fingers running through her soft fur, the both of them watching as yongjin packs for the mission. it’s a simple go bag, something they’ve been taught in training to always have ready for sudden missions (even hackers need one), and he knows yongjin well enough by now to realize he’s stalling for time– the bag had already been packed and ready for this morning when he’d arrived at the apartment last night. he appreciates it, appreciates these final few minutes he has with yongjin even if it’s spent watching him re-fold the same shirt three different times. it’s not even one of yongjin’s– it’s his.

“angel?” jihae calls but the moment yongjin looks his way, his throat closes up, tight with emotion. he doesn’t want him to go but he can’t make him stay either. he and the other man just stare at each other, gazes locked, both of them seemingly trying to memorized one another. it feels like something out of a drama and jihae wonders when he got so desperate, so involved, that yongjin doing a job he had when they met terrifies the hell out of him.

the answer does’t really matter. jihae allows himself to fall prey to the swell of the emotion. he nudges nyx out of his lap and stands up, quickly closing the distance between himself yongjin, arms looping tight around his lover the moment he’s within reach. they bury their faces against one another’s necks, and as much as he protests being the shorter of the two, right now he indulges in yongjin’s taller frame and how it engulfs him.

“i’ll miss you…” it’s said at the same time, drawing a laugh from the both of them and jihae isn’t crying, but there’s stinging in the backs of his eyes. he sniffles and hugs onto yongjin tighter. he tries to think of something to make this better, to ease them both, and comes up blank every time until one thought hits him with enough impact to draw him away from the embrace to yongjin’s confusion.

“jiji…?”

jihae fingers are shaking slightly as he grabs at the chain around his neck, pulling up and over his head. he takes one of yongjin’s hands and gently sets the necklace in it, letting him see the object hanging from it is a ring. “this isn’t me proposing– it’s too early for that.” he jokes, sniffling again as he stares at the ring lying in his boyfriend’s palm. “my mom– my real mom… she gave me her wedding ring before she left. it was the most expensive thing she ever owned. it took a year of dad’s savings to afford it because he wanted to give her a ring on their wedding day. it’s the only thing i have left of them.” he explains softly, eyes finally lifting to yongjin’s.

“jiji, no– i’m not taking this from you–” yongjin starts, trying to press the item back into jihae’s hand, his expression torn at the thought.

jihae resists it, instead folding yongjin’s fingers over the ring and holding them there. “take it… please. it’s not even for you to permanently keep. i just…” he bites his lip, cheeks filling with warmth. yongjin always has him flustered. “it’s precious to me… and you’re precious to me. if you have this then i know you’ll bring it back to me so then i’ll have you and the ring back and everything will be right where it belongs again. so… take it and come back to me.” he finishes, fidgeting in place, nervous for a different reason now.

any further protests never come, nothing does. jihae only knows the touch of yongjin’s lips against his own and a tight embrace. and true, it doesn’t cure his worry, doesn’t change the fact he’ll probably mope around in yongjin’s apartment while his boyfriend is gone, but yongjin is good about keeping his promises. jihae isn’t a man of faith in much, but he trusts yongjin to come back to him.

setting: fashion show backstage, 9 june 2021 with: @jihanfmd

it didn’t come as a surprise that the entire backstage area was filled with pretty people. idols were usually pretty individuals by default but for the fashion show specifically, it did seem to be that they had tried their hardest to snatch the absolute best looking out of the bunch to walk the catwalk. yena couldn’t say she was surprised she found herself amidst that group. even so, amidst the sea of pretty faces one did stand out in particular, maybe so because they were also stupidly tall to go with. “han jihae, fancy seeing you here.” yena greeted them warmly as she slid up to them. 

she wasted no time to reach up and squish their cheeks between her hands, giving jihae a critical glance up and down. “you just get better looking every time i see you huh? what does gold star media feed you?” she cooed, releasing her hold of their face to straighten out their outfit instead. “i could’ve expected to find you here, you truly have the proportions of a model, it’s truly unfair.” she sighed dramatically, shaking her head, finally dropping her hands and sparing jihae any more prodding and pulling. “how are you today? feeling as good as you looked? i missed having you around, you wound your favorite noona you know? you never have time for me anymore.”

Weekend Away | YJI

genre: smut, fluff

summary: your child walks in on you during sex

age: Jitae = 5 / Jihae = 2

warnings: nipple play, licking, spit play

__________

“Bye Mummy!” Jitae yelled.

You chuckled, you and Jeongin waving from the door, “bye bye! Have fun!”

“Bye Daddy!” Jitae yelled.

Jeongin chuckled, nodding as he waved, “bye, Tae! Be good for Nanny and Granpy!”

“Yeah!” Jitae called.

“Bye bye!” Jihae giggled, waving over Jitae’s lap, Jeongin’s mum chuckling as she looked at her two grandkids in the back before slowly shutting the car door.

“Have fun, you two,” Jeongin’s dad spoke.

“Yes! Just relax! The kids will be fine with us,” his mum said, waving as she got in the car herself, “bye!”

“Bye!” you smiled, both you and Jeongin slowly pushing the front door closed.

“And they’re gone,” Jeongin breathed, shutting the front door and turning to you, his hands immediately beginning to run down your body, from your shoulder blades to the top of your thighs.

You giggled, wrapping your arms around his neck and jumping, Jeongin catching you with ease as your legs wrapped around his waist.

“I love you,” he whispered, smashing his lips against yours and backing you up until your back hit the wall.

You moaned, pulling on your husband’s hair, “you are not going to fuck me here, Yang Jeongin.”

He chuckled, “yes, m’lady.”

Your lips connected again as Jeongin took long strides to your shared bedroom, throwing you onto the bed.

“Come here, then,” you teased, grabbing his thin t-shirt in your fist and pulling him towards you.

He crawled over your body, his hands snaking their way up your t-shirt and pulling it over your head, his hot breath fanning over your stomach as he did so.

Arching your back with his command, he undid your bra and threw it off to the side of the room, his two hands coming back to your chest, his thumbs playing with your nipples as he leaned back down to connect the space between you with his lips.

“Jeongin,” you panted, feeling yourself grow wet.

“So responsive,” Jeongin groaned, his hands moving off your boobs and pulling off his own t-shirt.

“Wait a minute,” you said as your husband’s hands went down to your bottoms, “this isn’t just about you.”

Jeongin smirked, laying on his back as you crawled up his body. His eyes could barely leave yours, but the way your breasts were moving made his brain even more incomprehensibly horny.

Slowly, your tongue started to come up his abs as his eyes rolled into the back of his head. A trail of spit was left behind, which you scooped up, sliding your spit covered fingers into your husband’s mouth.

“Where is it? Quickly then,” said Jeongin’s mum’s.

“We didn’t shut the door,” you whispered, looking at the bedroom door.

“Not only that,” Jeongin said in horror, “Mum’s got a key.”

“Mummy! Daddy! Jihae’s teddy!” Jitae shouted, running in, his grandma following close behind him.

You and Jeongin scrambled off the bed, finding your t-shirts and quickly pulling them over your heads.

“Hmm? What was that?” you asked, breathless as you watched your son run from his bedroom, to Jihae’s, to the playroom.

“Here,” Jeongin breathed, pulling the teddy from off the sofa, “it’s here.”

“Jihae! I found it!” Jitae shouted.

Jeongin’s mum laughed, “alright then, come on! See you two later!”

“Bye, Mum,” Jeongin smiled, looking exasperated.

“Oh and love?” she spoke, motioning to Jeongin’s t-shirt, “it’s inside out. You too, Y/N. Bye now, you two have fun! Though it looks like you have been already.”

“Mum!”

THE 5TH NOTE

When we think about it, perfection is such a ridiculous idea. Do we really believe we can please every mind out there? For some, even the Almighty is not believed to exist, so does this mean that they will never be perfect in their lives? Perhaps nothing in this world can be flawless, or perhaps everything is perfect if we look at it from a different perspective. Half of everything should always be 1:2 and this is regarded the perfect middle or should I say standardised middle ground, but the world and nature don't operate that way since we can't split everything into two halves and assume we've divided them equally. Even in the nature of music, and please bear with me on this one, just like the mirror effect a note becomes an octave and that’s how we get two notes and an octave is not divided into two equal halves or we can say it doesn’t have a midpoint but there is a 5th note that’s the dominant which is almost like 3:2 ratio. For those who don’t want to get into the technicalities and just want the essence of what I’m trying to explain, just consider that it isn’t always necessary to have balance in everything.

In my life, I have realised how everyone and everything in this world is conditioned to respond to things in a certain manner. Even street dogs that have been traumatised by human ruthlessness may bite you because they have been conditioned to do it in order to protect themselves. I learned the value of being sensitive to others, but I still battle to be sensitive to everything around me because I have this impulsive energy that causes me to literally destroy things. This always makes me wonder what is my fifth note? Should I become more sensitive and lose the impulsiveness that defines me as Sakib?

We all know that there is no such thing as black and white, and that there is always something in the grey area, but do we genuinely acknowledge this? Finding my 5th note just means I want embrace all the things that makes my life unbalanced because that’s how we learn. Music has been one of my greatest teachers, and through it, I attempt to comprehend everything around me, just like the 5th note. Music tells me how rain can signify both love and pain and this is how perfection is met. We only need to go beyond what we believe to be true and follow nature. I'm still looking for the 5th note, but perhaps my battle with sensitivity and impulsiveness, along with many other characteristics, makes me perfect, or should I say, human.

Bulleh Shah zahr wekh ke peeta te kee peeta Bulleh Shah, what’s the point of taking poison, yet fearing its ingredients?

Ishq soch ke keeta te keeh keeta

What’s the point of falling in love, yet fearing its consequences?

Dil de ke dil lain di aas rakhi

If you give your heart in the hope that your love may be returned 

Ve buleya Pyaar eho jiha keeta te keeh keeta What’s the point then, Bulleh Shah, of giving your heart at all?

These lines by the legendary mystic poet Bulleh Shah have always made me ponder if love truly does have to be a connection between two people to be flawless, as we see in the tales like Heer-Ranjha, Soni-Mahiwal, and Romeo-Juliet. One is enough, and how we look at anything is all that matters. This is what the 5th note means to me.

5. Prince Lotor from Voltron: Legendary Defender. I have mentioned only once before that I watched the show. And when I watched, I was introduced to Lotor and all his scheming, broodiness and his beautiful, flowing, white alien hair. I thought he was pretty neat. ... Until he was ruined by the series' inability to pick a villain and stick with them! His chemistry with Allura felt a little forced but I understood what the creators were trying to do. In the end, though, he ended up kind of wasted. His appearance and aesthetic are pretty cool but I wish they were used better.

4. Aavaros from The Dragon Prince. What a mysterious elf he is. There's not much known about him except facts like he's confined in a magic mirror, he knows dark magic, and the mirror he's in was guarded by the most powerful dragons. He's also helping the current antagonist so he's pretty bad news. And since Dragon Prince is still ongoing, there's still a chance for him to not be a flop like Lotor.

3. Jihae from Dandelion: Wishes Brought to You. My favorite guy from Dandelion. He's a charming man and so very considerate. I think the reason he's my favorite love interest is because he is always trying to his best to do right by Heejung. Taking up a job, running errands, doing chores around the house, etc (yeah, a bit of domestic vibes helps his case, so you know). I think part of it stems from his self-worth issues and his habit of serving but I think it's also him genuinely wanting to help Heejung because of how hard she works accommodating him and the others. Jihae acts politely and treats her respectfully at all times which sometimes makes it hard to get a read on his romantic feelings but once they come out, it's fine. Let me be honest, I always swoon a bit whenever he says "My Lady." Also, Jihae's ending is one of the better ones since he and Heejung are unambiguously reunited and appear to be re-establishing their relationship. Very wholesome.

2. Lance from Nameless: The One Thing You Must Recall. The very first otome guy I romanced. He's got a special place in my heart because of that. His story is interesting. Despite being a doll-turned-human like the other guys, he doesn't have anything he's naturally inclined towards because he was a blank slate doll. However, he's not a blank person. He's competent with academics, reliable with tasks given to him, and he looks out for others (mostly Eri but in Yeonho's route he shows concern for the yellow chick's reputation). While he worries about not being special, I thought he was pretty distinct from the other LIs considering he started out cold and distant while the others were flirt, friendly, or just generally more approachable. Eri's connection with her grandpa and friends also gets addressed better in Lance's route compared to others (in my opinion at least).

1. Licht from Black Clover. I wish Licht got more attention! He was the leader of the elf tribe and everyone adored him. Even when faced with discrimination from humans, he wanted to reach out and make peace with them. He resisted corruption long enough to make a plea to Lumiere and prevent Zagred from fulfilling his plan. Skip to five hundred years later and we see that even with his soul sealed, he still looks out for his loved ones and will fight for their sake. And boy does he fight. I admit that during the Asta and Yuno vs. Licht fight, I found myself rooting for him because he was just that cool. The force of his magic and ability in battle is admirable indeed. Favorite moment from him is when he came so close to obliterating Zagred by blasting him with an attack powered by all the reincarnated elves'. Kind, empathic, dedicated, and protective; that's what I saw in the little time he was given. I wish he could've stayed to see what became of the future he protected and help establish a new elf tribe. But I am happy with what I did get of Licht.

Comparing my LI Rankings

#1: Lance, Jihae, Klaude: long-haired, pretty, and it's hard to tell if they like MC at times because they are in denial or it's hard to get a read on them in general.

#2: Red, Jiwoo, Chevalier: well Red and Jiwoo try to play up how special, cool, or smart they are. Jiwoo and Chevalier believe themselves to be experts on love. But Red and Chev... I guess they both have a dislike for the long-haired pretty boys in their respective games.

#3: Yuri, Jiyeon, Fritz: Yuri and Jiyeon are pretty big flirts. Jiyeon and Fritz are two-faced, though not intentionally in Fritz's case. And there is no connect between Yuri and Fritz as far as I can tell.

#4: Yeonho, Jieun, Waltz: the "younger" guy in the group whether it be by design, actual age, or the effects of a curse.

#5: Tei, Jisoo, Rod: not a good idea to be with them either because of an undesirable dark side or having a family relationship to MC.

starter for @kitsunesx​ from @himboidiot jiha choi with assumed connect dating or long term friendship

He was... completely lost. Honestly he had no idea what they were talking about and had lost the plot, so to speak, of the whole conversation pretty much as soon as it had started. “So you’re... what... wanting to marry them or something?” That was so far off from the mark of what the conversation was that it was impressive even for Jiha.

open to: m / f / nb connection: new tenant plot: your muse moves into the apartment jiha (a ghost) tends to haunt and he sees this as an opportunity to joke around, but turns out your muse can see him.

despite living close to two decades as a ghost, fooling around with the new tenants of the apartment somehow never got old, perhaps as it was one of jiha’s few forms of entertainment. he found this apartment a gold mine for new tenants, many coming and going over the past few years—-a factor of which he attributes to himself. sure, it was almost cruel to do so to so many mortals, but could you blame him when he has so little opportunities at amusement? when he discovered the possibilities of a new tenant in the home, a feeling that could only be described as excitement took over him, the opportunity almost falling into his lap. now, the newfound owner of the home had lived here for around a week from what he could tell, and most of jiha’s time was spent resting in an attempt to allow them to adjust within their environment. he’d give small indications of his presence, but assumed they didn’t notice and he was getting somewhat bored of watching the tenant do just about nothing. he had decided the previous evening that it would take the opportunity now to make himself known, what he wasn’t expecting though, was for the other to look him straight in the eye upon waking.
