Chu!! Noo it's fine I enjoy talking to youuuu

HAHHA well what can I say? I just love Lukey! Aww hope you'll get a good break soon! When are you taking your 1 week off?

FR Unholy blood is unbeatable 💪🏻💪🏻

OMG SAME but for me it's either I end up liking the guy or hating him... Like for Gojo and Callisto I was like "Omg they're so hot but why are they so full of themselves?!" at first. Then after some time I ended up liking them HAHA- And omg ikr his hair >>>>> It's the side-swept hair that adds on to his looks. AHAAH LIKE Vinter is actually nice and all but he has so little screen time!

Thanks Chu!! Hehe I love beaches! And I have this childish obsession with picking seashells oops- Aww... You don't have to know how to swim to enjoy the beach tho! I don't like beaches cause I want to get tanned or play beach volleyball, it's more of the scenery that draws me in! Plus the sea creatures!

YEAH the leaks broke me... 2 Panels but I miss him sm now...

Yepp! But I'm unsure if I chose the right path... Like my interests are more arty like I love reading, writing, drawing, music, etc. But I chose a business course hahaha. There's no turning back for me too.... LOL A WALKING STICK 😭😭 AHAHH your teacher tho! My secondary school made it mandatory to have skirts at knee-level too... But I didn't change my skirt for the 4 years I was in school so as I grew taller over the years my skirt just naturally went above my knees... My teacher did scold me for that tho, I just didn't care...

FR like bros why don't you guys try putting on makeup bruh. Like y'all judge us girls as if you guys are hot asf... If you guys WERE that hot I wouldn't even complain about you talking shit about us girls... But you aren't so f off.

RIGHT My mum and I couldn't stop laughing omg It's easily one of the best comedy K-drama I've watched! Yeah omg "See you in my 19th life" Webtoon was great but after ep 1 of the drama I stopped cause it was honestly disappointing... "Good day to be a dog" is good tho! Not Shin Hyesun but this and "See you in my 19th life" are by the same webtoon artist!

Oh damn Gojo figurines never fail to impress... Did you see the new one with the skeletons and all? It's the one where he's been sealed and the skeletons just all around him. He's super hot there like I almost wanted to start being a Gojo simp...

I somehow want to go back to school... I've been swamped with housework and miscellaneous stuff that I'm so close to losing my mind... Thinking about New year's makes me want to pull my hair out... And Chinese New year is in Feb too... I'm so doomed for the next few months...

30 isn't that bad! Hahaha I feel you mate... I flunked my end semester test and it pulled my A all the way to C+ AHAHAH my GPA really suffered from that... Eh that 'interesting' doesn't sound too convincing 🥲🥲 How did you survive that class omg Chu ...

Hmmm that makes sense! I'll keep your words in mind. 😭😭It's always the luck.... Our gacha luck sucks too... I think we should avoid taking risks yeah?

HAAHAHAH I just enjoy solving the qns! I prefer math to the rest of the weird stuff I used to take... I had English, Chinese, elementary math, Additional math, Chem, Bio, History, Social studies, Accounting, Literature. It's real disgusting I tell you. Algebra really made my life slightly better in Secondary school... Omg 😭Fr Bio is really not easy I don't get how people get A+ in that like your memory must be crazy good. SO TRUE Chem is complicated at times but if you compare that to bio... sigh...

YAAA Omg I have a soft spot for sea animals (Not snails and worms tho) Especially baby ones like ahhhh they're so cute 😭😭

Nahh it's not my room walls I'm painting... It's my whole living room... Like 4 walls.... I didn't want to do it but my mum forced me to soooo I didn't really have a choice hahah!

Also Merry Christmas!!! I know I'm slightly late but 😭😭 Hope you had a good rest!

HAHAHAHA same same i didn't use to love gojo the way i do now if you can believe it. but he's so charismatic in the way he presents himself that's why... and HAIR it's so true the hair makes the looks, especially for men🤭

omg me tooo!!! i love finding seashells too! but i hate the way the sand would submerge my feet🤧 it's stupid but i'm afraid of a crab or something will bite my feet off ugh and yeah, so true the scenery is one of the points that make us want to go to the beach too!!

ah... i don't mean to presume but i once felt like that too. i chose engineering as my major, and yet i'm neither that good or bad at it, and neither do i like it (i hate it occasionally)😔 my interests are more in reading and writing too! and obviously i can't go back to restart my major bc my mom would hang me🤧 i once had 0 thoughts as to where and how i should get a job, and yet now i found the best job there is for me, unexpectedly, that's (thank god) not related to engineering at all! i don't think it's easy at first, we'll get lost and even doubt ourselves often, but i believe that by doing the best at what you do, we'll find a way somehow, and it's always the unexpected that's the best <3 <- this is my words of encouragement!! i don't mean to preach or anything bc when i was in that position, i wished someone would say those exact words to me :')

BUT FR I FELT LIKE A WALKING SUSHI ROLL😭😭 thank the gods the teacher don't realize it. but omg that's nice that you're tall! :') i'm short so yeah, i'm still a walking sushi roll

HAHAHAHAHAAH i wish i could say all of that to their faces! i did say some of it to them though, about "you don't get to say that when you're that lousy yourself"🙃 but yeah, in the end, to each their own. it's irritating but we have to protect our peace first🤧

my mom loves her too!🥹 ahahahha oh really?! i put off watching a good day to be a dog bc i heard the ratings aren't that good... maybe i'll watch it then! now i'm watching gyeongseong creature! it's a good watch, kinda like sweet home, a bit dark and sinister but it's park seojoon!👀 and his dramas never fail ehehehe do you watch it too??

I SAW THAT FIGURINE omg that can be preordered now but will be released in 2025? i was like whaaat that long? but yeah, i want to be the skeletons—

OMG SOOO TRUE🤧 new years and our traditions :') now my mom is fussing over stocking food and getting new sheets and tomorrow i'm accompanying her to... stock up more food. and so true about the chinese new year! ahahahha i celebrate it too and it's a bit of a hassle esp with the family questions, but don't worry! we just have to keep our eyes on the prize... the 红包 :3 more pocket money!!😈

i know the feeling! like one mistake and the A... dissolved🤧 it's so disheartening. how did i pass?😦 by sending my prayers and confessing my sins daily basically🤧😵‍💫

yes yes!!

omg you're so smart for that!! and i do agree those are weird stuff HAHAHA literature got me like questioning my phrasing sometimes i was like 🤯 am i dumb bc i’m lazy or am i lazy bc i’m dumb— okay nevermind🫢

Top five angst-with-a-happy-ending K-dramas!

angst with a happy ending is my FAVORITE i love it when a drama emotionally breaks me and then give me cute fluff at the end 🥰

1. Come and Hug Me

this drama truly has one of the most messed up plots out there. the FLs parents/brother were murdered by the MLs parents. i know what you’re thinking: how could this ever be a happy ending? well, there is. these two characters who went through literal hell together gets their happy ending and it’s WELL deserved. the journey is long and difficult and angsty. despite all of that the bond between the leads is actually the the sweetest thing ever. na mu and na moo were dealt the worst cards out there but they remained kind, loving, sweet, and caring. watching come & hug me felt like being punched and hugged at the same time.

2. Flower of Evil

this d r a m a. it’s so angsty and painful and intense. the FL and ML are already married & parents so the angst it delivers hits way harder. the FL is a homicide detective who, unbeknownst to her, marries a man with a dark dark past. she starts to investigate a string of murders that took place 15 years ago and starts to think that maybe her husband was the killer. the ML acts like perfect husband and father (his relationship with his daughter is so wholesome) but…is it real? or is it all pretend? flower of evil is full of pain and betrayal but it still manages to have a happy ending.

3. When the Camellia Blooms

the angst that WTCB gave us was unreal and so bittersweet but the ending was *chefs kiss*. dongbaek is a single mother who honestly is just trying to survive in a small town. she has to deal with prejudice and judgement at every turn. she ends up meeting youngshik, a police officer, who immediately falls head over heels. he’s so enchanted and amazed by dongbaek & is willing to raise her son. youngshik is a literal golden retriever so when things get angsty it HURTS. be aware that this does have a big side plot about a serial killer. it takes a lot of fighting and work for these two (three if you count her son). some of the side characters were infuriating but these two were cuties.

4. Just Between Lovers

yet another drama that feels like a punch to the face and a hug at the same time. this drama deals heavily with trauma and grief and survivors guilt. the FL and ML were both there as teens when the accident happened and lost people they loved. years later they cross paths and have to learn to navigate their feelings and trauma together. it’s angsty and a tearjerker but it’s also so sweet.

5. Thirty but Seventeen

Miss Shin Hyesun is the queen of angst with a happy ending trope (for the most part idk what happened with mr. queen). 30 but 17 is criminally underrated. when the FL is 17 she gets into an accident and is in a coma. the ML feels responsible for it so he closes himself off emotionally. 13 years later, the FL wakes up and crosses paths with the ML. neither remember each other though which leads to ✨angst✨. this drama is so heartwarming but also sad. it’s not as painful as the others but it certainly hurts. not only is it angsty but it also uses the cohabitation trope. it’s so cute GO WATCH THIS DRAMA EVERYONE.

Ask me my TOP FIVE anything

[damselofblueroses]

Bambi, Chapter 1

You are my Bambi, girl, I am your candy, tell me what are you waiting for?

Summary: As an archaeologist who works on the Ancient Greece, you were on the verge of excavations’ session. While you have been preparing your team, you learned that your institute decided on your team has to work with another team as they wanted the outcome as a collaboration. The head of other team was your biggest rival, a scumbag in your eyes: Byun Baekhyun.

You two were supposed to work together for three months, in a Greek Island, Chios.

Could you manage to not kill Byun Baekhyun for three months?

Content: AU, heavily Greek mythology, enemies to friends.

Warnings: Well, the story contains NSFW/Smut, please minors do not continue.

Note: This story will be four or five chapters if I will not change my mind in the meantime. It is inspired by my major; however, I do not have a complete knowledge on archaeology, I am a historian. If I will make a technical mistake, please let me know. I am willing to receive any kind of feedback; you are more than welcomed to drop a message.

Chapter One: UN Village

June, Incheon Airport

Along the curves of the hill

Rolling, rolling, rolling hills

As we climb there’s a broken streetlight

When I see one, I turn off the lights under it

Baekhyun was nothing but ready for the excavation.

You were more than ready for the session.

Both of you, were nothing but two leaders who hated each other equally.

You were eyeing each other with saying no words since your teams came together in the airport. Before this particular moment of departure, you refused to meet with Byun Baekhyun, putting aside meeting with him, you refused even dropping an e-mail in order to let Sunkyungwan Team about Sejong Team. You were clear and strict as fuck, even though two teams had to work together for three months, you had zero intention to get accustomed with the other team leader.

The weather was sunny, nice and warm, however because of you and Baekhyun, your team members were feeling like they were trapped in a fucking blizzard during the coldest winter.

You were aware of your team members had positive opinions of that scoundrel, especially the girls, as you had your first-handed experiences because of your stupid classmates, Byun Baekhyun was very famous of his abilities to cast a spell on women. The problem was he was also famous as a serial dater, serial killer type of men.

A bastard, nothing more nothing less.

“Indy,” one of your team members, Minseok, called you. Although, calling you as Indy was also a habit of Minseok, it was also an obligation for the others, you insisted on calling you by your nickname or your name, instead of calling you as sunbae. You did not like the hierarchical titles. “Should we move into the control point?”

“Yeah, if you are ready.” you replied, grabbing your luggage and the rest.

“I guess we have to alert Sunkyungwan people since we will fly together.” Hyesun pointed out, your eyebrows knitted.

“I guess,” you recall her words. “They also have this information, so we do not have to alert anyone, we are not their babysitters.”

Hyesun’s cheeks were blushing after you kindly scolded her, but she was clever enough to hold her tongue. Your dislike towards Sunkyungwan was not a secret as you used every opportunity to show it. You led your team to the kiosks, counting the heads automatically. You had six here, you were going to have ten more when you arrive to Chios whose coming from all around European universities. With thirteen Sunkyungwan students, the excavation was going to shelter almost forty members. It was going to be massive, you had to admit. You never had more than twenty students in the field till now, but you were going to lead an extraordinary team as Junmyeon craved into your brain’s folds with his hammer of words.

You wished to be with Junmyeon right now, you were more tense than usual. Junmyeon could put you in more stable mood, however you even did not think to name him while the executives were asking your possible candidates. He would kill you merciless, you knew it very well.

Eh, at least you got Sehun, Junmyeon’s brother in your team, he had a lot of similarities with Junmyeon even though he could be noisier than anyone you know, however you accepted him as your dongsaeng, as his precious noona and role model, you also knew how to put him in an order. Then you had Minseok, the eternal field-partner of yours. He was older than you, although he was engaged in a Ph.D. programme in abroad, he willingly accepted your invitation. You had four seniors, Shinhye, Yixing, Jongdae and Hyesun.

To your dismay, two of the seniors who you really could want in your team, Chanyeol and Kyungsoo were in that bastard’s team. You were of the fact that they were immensely close to each other, but you wished to have them in your team as their abilities were precious.

Especially Doh Kyungsoo.

You missed that fucking bastard who preferred to be with Baekhyun.

Life, you inhaled. It was not going exactly in the way you could ask.

“On your foot, soldiers.” you called your team around you. “Do you collect all the materials you will be in need of?”

“Yeah.” Jongdae cutely pointed to his tiniest bag. “I am ready to excavate.”

“Exactly you will need every tool you have.” Shinhye smacked her husband’s shoulder. Yeah, you had a married couple in your team, although you were a year younger them, you always regarded yourself as their big sister, if not a mother. “You are going to work too much, Dae. I have sleepless nights because of the burden on your shoulders.”

You could not help but burst into laughs after the look Jongdae gave to his wife. Those idiots, they were so lovely and instead of their endless scolding sessions, they were incredibly fond of each other.

Sometimes you wonder, how having your significant other by your side would be?

You slightly shook your head, quickly climbing out of this deep cliff.

“Let’s go!” you exclaimed, jumping to the air. “Sejong is ready for the session!”

Baekhyun was watching you with a disgusted expression.

“Move on, Baekhyun.” Chanyeol pushed his body to forward. “We will miss the flight, Goddamnit.”

“Give him couple of minutes.” Kyungsoo chuckled. “He is fucking the girl with his eyes, frankly, he is doing it unapologetically.”

“Which girl?” Chanyeol’s eyes widened. “Do you mean, that girl? You c-

“Of course, I am not.” Baekhyun interrupted Chanyeol, staring at Kyungsoo. “She can go and fuck herself.”

“Well,” Kyungsoo stood up, placing his book into the bag. “I guess, you are going to be one to fuck her, but maybe I am wrong.”

“In her dreams.” Baekhyun laughed. “If she can manage to dream something like this, but I do not think so. That little freak can put even the nuns into a shame.”

“She is beautiful to be honest.” Chanyeol said with no different intention but observing your features carefully. “Okey maybe not the hottest girl in the town, but she is pretty, and I heard she is very clever.”

“She is.” Kyungsoo approved. “But she kicked Baekhyun’s ass twice, so he cannot endure her presence.”

“She never,” Baekhyun grunted lowly. “Kick me or my proverbial parts!”

“Did someone talk about kicking some asses?” Jongin appeared out of nowhere. “I am in.”

“Shut up, Jongin.” Baekhyun rolled his eyes. “Let’s pick the team.”

The smile on Kyungsoo’s face irritated Baekhyun, he wanted to erase that fucking grin so bad, punching his face but Baekhyun had to hold his manners as the team leader. If they would be in their flat, he could already beat the shit out of Kyungsoo, at least he would try.

Baekhyun hated the fact that Kyungsoo had the exact past with you and him. Three of you entered the department together, instead Kyungsoo went to another university to pursue his master, in the end he testified every moment between you and Baekhyun.

That’s why he was smiling since he learned you were going to be the other team leader.

Baekhyun was aware of the close relationship between you and Kyungsoo, one of his best friends.

Quickly Baekhyun led his team to the control point, close to your team. He was avoiding from this step, however as the leader, presenting his fucking team to your team was his responsibility. When they arrived, he took a deep breath.

“Good morning to all.” his blood started to boil when you turned to him with a displeased face expression. Your eyebrows were knitted, your fucking lips formed as a thick line, your dislike was palpable and Baekhyun knew his own face was mirroring your feelings. “I hope you are fine, could you let me present my team to you?”

Baekhyun wanted nothing but cut the shit off.

“Good morning.” you answered between your teeth. Your voice sounded extremely creepy. “Yeah, go for it.”

You do not make a favour to me, bloody woman, Baekhyun thought but he put all his efforts to control his words.

“My name is Byun Baekhyun, I am going to lead Sunkyungwan Team this year.” he looked at your team members, quickly memorized their faces. “I really look forward to work with you, I wish a good session for us. They are my members, Park Chanyeol, Doh Kyungsoo, Kim Jongin, Kim Danbi, Lee Taemin, Lee Donghae, Kim Jonghyun, Kim Kibum, Lee Seungjo, Kang Seulgi, Im Yoona, Kim Taeyeon and Kwon Yuri.”

“You are like a troop, huh?” one of your girls smiled after Baekhyun finished his presentation.

“More or less.” Baekhyun smiled back to her. What a surprise to him was the transformation of your face. You warmly smiled to the members and bowed to each of them.

Baekhyun raised his left eyebrow, but he could not avert his eyes from your smiling face.

It was pleasant like a spring day and when you smile your eyes were shining.

“Thank you.” he heard your voice. “My team is not big as yours, Park Shinhye, Kim Jongdae, Zhang Yixing, Oh Sehun, Kim Minseok and Song Hyesun.”

“You forget yourself.” Minseok slapped his forehead and rolled his eyes. “Indy is going to lead Sejong Team as she has been leading us for the last two years, you can put your faith on her, she is the greatest.”

“Indy?” Jongin repeated your nickname with a surprised face. “Are you foreigner?”

“Do I look like?” you laughed and prevented yourself from flinching his forehead. He was such a cute kid. “That’s how my team call me.”

“Ah.” Jongin blushed and you could not control yourself anymore.

“But if you want, you can also call me as Indy.” you grinned like a Cheshire cat. “Everything must be equal for the teams since we are going to live together during a whole summer.”

“I would like to.” Jongin bowed to you.

“So do we need to add sunbae when we call you?” Kyungsoo asked.

“Have you ever called me as a sunbae, Doh Kyungsoo?” you coldly replied. “Did Sunkyungwan change your behaviours?”

“Gardens of roses turn to garths of thorns in a second.” Kyungsoo murmured but he was smiling to you, then he opened his arms, catching you off guard because you knew that Kyungsoo was not a huge fan of hugs. “Will you salute me as a good friend, or will I start calling you as sunbae?”

“Shut the fuck up, Doh.” you inhaled, but actually you were happy to see your still-working-on friendship. You moved to hug him, he held you tightly and lifted you to the air, then turned around himself, made you laugh like a 5-year-old girl.

Baekhyun did not like what was happening before his eyes. Kyungsoo had to be with Baekhyun, not hugging you for his fucking dear life, or lifting and turning you around like you were very dear to him. He hated sharing his friends with you, he already lost Junmyeon, he wanted to keep Kyungsoo and Chanyeol to himself. You should be fucking away from them, they were Baekhyun’s and only Baekhyun’s friends.

And there was another fragile issue that Baekhyun had been keeping in the deepest point of his heart and mind, like the palace of Nyx in the darkest part of Tartarus. Extremely delicate, horrendous, and even atrocious.

Baekhyun was aware of a strange presence was lying down beneath his hatred, dislike and continuous loathe towards you, there was a layer of curiosity, something could feed different layers and causing an earthquake in his life. Baekhyun knew that you were his biggest rival, but you became his rival by your talents and intelligence. He knew this and this piece of realization doubled his hate towards you.

The funny part was the things he did not realize. Baekhyun was full of confidence, he was capable of performing even miracles, however he never perceive the fact that you were also a miracle.

“So, what we are going to do?” Chanyeol asked to everyone with a huge, happy smile. Baekhyun fended himself off moaning, happy virus Chanyeol already sensed the chance of levitating the mood between the teams and playing along with it. “Are we boarding?”

“Yeah, let’s go.” one of your boys, Sehun, came close to Chanyeol. Baekhyun and you immediately glared them, noticing the chemistry between these two. Both of you wished to keep the teams apart from each other in order to reduce the obliged interactions between the leaders, but it seemed not possible even from the beginning. Baekhyun was cursing between his lips, you were swearing at the executive board in your mind.

“Indy,” Shinhye whispered to you. “Are you okey? You look like wanting to kill one of us.”

“Not you.” you answered without thinking, then registered to your words. “Ignore me, Shinhye, I am a little bit tense right now.”

“We got your back.” she blinked at you and held Jongdae’s hand. “Let’s start the adventure!”

What an adventure, you thought but silently joined them. Kyungsoo also was walking next to you.

“Why the heck you went to Sunkyungwan?” you spilled the bean. “I always believed you would stay in Sejong.”

“Yeah, that was my intention.” Kyungsoo was plain as always. “However, Sunkyungwan gives me more opportunities to secure my career, Indy.”

“I know.” you had to admit. Sejong was not generous as Sunkyungwan. “Sorry for my selfish words.”

“No worries.” he beamed. “It happens all the time, but I am really happy to work with you again.”

“Old but gold days, huh?”

“Well, it was not purely gold,” Kyungsoo followed the flows and ebbs. “Do you remember when we were almost expelled from the university?”

“Is there a way to forget those days?” you immediately took a look on Baekhyun. It was his fault, obviously. “We were shitting in our pants instead of the one who put us in that situation.”

“Come on,” Kyungsoo chuckled. “It was not only his fault, Indy, our hands were also crimson red.”

“Let me recall the memory, Doh,” you pinched his hand, he playfully pushed your fingers. “Excuse me if I am wrong, however that scumbag was the one who challenged you to confiscate the coin, because of your involvement into the incident, I had no choice but dragging your ass out of shit.”

“They caught two of us in the crime field.” Kyungsoo burst into laughs. “Professor Lee went ballistic and scolded us like we just killed a person cold heartedly.”

“And you could not see the reason behind it?” You were cutting Kyungsoo’s body with your eyes. “If someone tries to steal a coin from the excavation house during the session, I will kill them for sure. We were so lucky, the one who caught us was Professor Lee.”

“I heard you are strictest when it comes to excavation.” Kyungsoo assured you. “But try to not kill us.”

“The only one I am going to take down,” you shivered with the memory, Kyungsoo was already regretful to remind it to you. Well, maybe not so much because he wanted you and Baekhyun to realize the potential relationship you could have, and the easiest way in order to put you two in touch was making you angry. “That bastard if he will behave like the old days. We are not children anymore.”

“Have you ever been a kid?”

“Fuck off, Kyungsoo.”

“You did not change even a bit, Indy.” Kyungsoo made his statement. Obviously, you were going to keep this to yourself, taking his silent approval made you were more than happy. “You are still a pain in the ass.”

“And you are still a good boy.” you grinned, watching his lips formed around silent laughs. “Such a cute puppy for me, let me see your wagging tail.”

“I am sorry to interrupt your flirting session,” Kyungsoo turned to Baekhyun’s deadpanned face. “However, we have to move.”

“When you come across to a pretty girl,” Kyungsoo did not miss the chance of returning the favour. “You have to flirt with her. Wasn’t it your advice?”

“Yeah.” Baekhyun looked at you, then turned to Kyungsoo.

You knew what was going to happen.

“He said pretty girls,” you tucked the words in Baekhyun’s mouth before he could open his fucking damn mouth. “To my dismay, I have never been pretty to correspond the standards of Byun Baekhyun the Magnificent. I am crying for the lack of beauty almost every night, I mean living without Byun Baekhyun’s interests… Such a misery.”

Kyungsoo bit his lower lip in order to hold his laugh, Baekhyun’s fists were clenching but you did not stop there.

"Ah I almost forget to ask for the name of that little village, Baekhyun.” you directly looked at his eyes since ages. “Where the girl you desperately wanted to bless with your attention left you? UN Village?”

You immediately spin on your tiptoes, then slipped towards to Sehun, leaving two of them behind of you, refusing to look at back. In the meantime, Baekhyun was throwing daggers to your back, grinding his teeth, his jaw was extremely tensed. Before Kyungsoo could stop him, he swiftly came to your side, you felt his breath on your neck.

You shivered.

You fucking shivered and Baekhyun noticed that.

“You are playing with the fire, as always.” he whispered to your ear before someone could notice what he was doing. “Did you forget who was burning with fire, baby girl?”

He quickly disappeared and started to make such a fuss in order to gather his team members around himself. You were frozen, after years, you were frozen, you missed the little smile on the corner of Baekhyun’s mouth.

You were on the verge of screaming because of the frustration you had felt. You forced yourself to proceed, walked into the plane, helped your team in order to set their belongings and place into their seats, then you retreated your own seat. It was comfortable and you could easily snatch a blanket. Your wish became true, even quicker than you expected because Sehun, your wonderful Sehun, already brought a soft blanket for you. You smiled at him, actually forgiving him for building bonds with Chanyeol since they changed their seats in order to sit next to each other and weaved your legs around the fabric.

Your brain was in autopilot, you were lost in the horrible memories. You did not want to recall them, you buried them into the cemetery of your memory. You wished nothing but never remember that day.

The day in that village.

Baekhyun was mad at himself.

His face was clouded, for the first time he was silent and sitting on the farthest seat in the plane. He really wanted to be alone, and since being vocal about his feeling was so natural for him, he told his need to the team. They willingly let him to do what he wanted, as a result, he was looking out of window, hell if a person could see something out of a plane’s window, and he was cursing himself.

He knew it was going to be a chess play. Between you and him.

It has been always like the chess.

There was a bond between you and Baekhyun, even thought you two always refused it, you also were aware of that bond. You equally hated each other and if there was a thing which could make you happier than seeing each other’s downfalls, that was the opportunity of being the one who digs the other’s grave by their hands.

He was sure on he was going to be the one who sets your body on fire, then finishes you. He was sure on he was going to be the victor, the one and only champion.

When he kills you, erases your name for all eternity, when he condemns you with demnatio memoriae, he will calmly breathe again.

You were a pain in the ass, even when you were not around of Baekhyun, you had a place in his mind since that fucking day he met you. Your presence was like a tree, how much he could try, he could neither find your roots in his mind nor cut them all.

You were his enemy; he was going to treat you as you deserved.

There would be no turning back.

But…

He was mad at himself.

He made a wrong move while he was trying to disturb you, shake your cage in order to give you a lesson.

He also remembered.

The day in that fucking village.

[grrrlsoverdramas]

hi! can you explain a bit more about the 'child' translation? and how it affects the characters? i got a bit confused lol xx

(to preface, I haven't actually watch the latest ep so idk how they are referring to each other rn)(this is gonna be a long answer but you asked!!!)(if you are fluent in Korean and wanna correct me please do)

The TLDR is this: Woo-yeo refers to Dam as "child" when referencing her to others and internally, and "Ms. Dam" when speaking to her, and Dam refers to Woo-yeo as elder/old man. These terms are never translated correctly. Many English subs prefer to adjust the language to make it seem as though people on Korean shows refer to each other by name, although this is extremely rare. However, subs usually periodically correctly establish/translate the way people refer to one another.

The dynamic between Woo-yeo and Dam last week, though they clearly like each other, was still very polite, and Woo-yeo still took a largely removed view of her, speaking like an elder or even like an alien when describing or explaining her. It makes sense it takes him so long to realize he likes her, since he's been looking at her/talking about her like she is his descendent or neighborhood child. And she reinforces this by referring to him as "elder" -- something you would call your friend's great-grandfather. Of course you can understand some of that through the way they act, but especially since they're already acting in love, it's hard to see that him realizing he likes her is such a shift. When he says "She's so young" it isn't like he's suddenly realizing it, it's something he's been aware of this whole time and fully informs the way he speak to and about her.

It's not a big deal but I just think there are a lot of jokes and nuances that someone who doesn't know Korean are gonna miss when they watch this show, and it's not because it's ~sooo complex~ but it's because the subs are bad. I think the subs I'm watching are from iQiyi. More specifics abt the language being used is below the cut if you're interested.

Basically, when Woo-yeo refers to Dam in his internal monologue or when speaking to his "friends" (the other magical beings, the god (?) or Hyesun) he often refers to her as 아이, which means child. I would say that older adults often use this term to refer to kids and teens, so his use of the term doesn't mean he thinks of her as a literal child, but it is very much the vibe of an elder or even immortal referring to an innocent youth. People do use this word the same way as they do in English, to be condescending toward young adults and say they're like children, but that is not the tone with which Woo-yeo uses it. Hyesun for her part (I didn't go back and watch any of their convos so idr how she referred to her throughout the conversations) definitely called Dam 꼬마 at least once, which pretty much means kiddo. (This is is cause Hyesun is CUTE)

The subs NEVER translate when Woo-yeo or Hyesun use those words - they seem to always translate it as though the person's name or pronoun is being used. For example (this isn't exactly taken from the show), if Woo-yeo says, "그 아이는 여기 있으면 상당히 안전하다" he is literally saying something like "The child is safe here," but the subs would say something like "She is safe here."

Generally this happens a lot in Eng subs, because Korean rarely uses pronouns but English can sound really awkward without them. Often Korean sentences don't use subjects, and so subs will insert a name or pronoun that is "missing." This also happens when people are referred to euphemistically or by title, as Korean speakers generally avoid using names but that is not common practice in English. So someone referred to simply as "Director" in Korean will often be shown in subs as "Mr. Lee."

The problem is that this happens A LOT in the My Roommate is A Gumiho subs, and without good reason. Good subs will periodically use the actual terminology used in Korean, but you NEVER see in the subs that Woo-yeo call Dam "child." Similarly, the subs translate Dam's nickname for Woo-yeo, 어르신, as "sir" when it means elder or old man. This mostly makes sense as grammatically "sir" would sometimes be awkward in English. But I don't see why they couldn't switch between an accurate translation and something more natural in English.

BLOOD BOUNDARIES - Enhypen OT7 Fanfic (ch.10)

[CH.1] [CH.2] [CH.3] [CH.4] [CH.5] [CH.6] [CH.7][CH.8][CH.9] previous chapters [CH.11] next chapter (unavailable on tumblr but avaliable on wattpad!)

"You'll give me your blood in exchange for theirs."

You could feel his earnest breath against the left side of your neck when he spoke. The proximity was causing you to hold your breath tightly. "Sunghoon please..." You just barely breathed out,  fearing anything you said would be the death of you.

"Afraid my love? I'm not going to hurt you unless you let me in." You felt Sunghoon's soft lower lip stroke up your neck until it met your ear, "I'll give you time to think." He pulled away to caress your face with a feathery touch as the sky grew darker and darker.

...

You rested the following day with no intentions of going to classes. You got your dormmates to tell the office about the severe headache you had; too weak to attend that day. To your surprise, one of the nurses at the school had knocked at your dorm to do a brief check-up and ensure you weren't lying.

"You must be Y/N! Sweetie, how are you feeling?" A slim young woman came in with a medium briefcase of supplies.

"It's nothing too serious right now, it's just a slight headache, I think you brought a bit much..." You held your pounding head while staring at the excessive equipment she had in hand.

"Oh, all of this? It's a standard to bring it just in case." The nurse said with a Southern Irish accent, "Now sit down, I'll take your temperature first."

You sat down on your own bed and watched as she took out a pink thermometer and put it under your arm. You yawned while waiting, getting a closer look at the woman. She had naturally fawn-blonde hair that flowed down in delicate curls. Healthy skin that was rosy at the cheekbones.

"Hun, your temperature is just slightly over normal. Is it just today you've been having headaches?" The nurse said while waving around the stick that read 38.1°C.

"I get them from time... Rarely though, I think I've been stressed lately that's all..."

"Perhaps you have low iron? Are you sure no other symptoms and potential causes?"

"Lack of sleep." You admitted, "And probably low iron... My mom has so I must too..."

"I see hun... Many girls call in sick and it's usually related to their menstrual cycles. But recently I find there is some sort of common cold going around. Yesterday this young boy fainted and when I took his temperature he had a seriously high fever." The nurse said while beginning to sterilize the thermometer with some rubbing alcohol.

"He did?!" You blurted out unintentionally, your voice making an embarrassing crack, "Sorry... He's just my friend, I was there when he fainted. Do you mind me asking how Jungwon is doing?"

"Not too well... He seems very sick but... Whenever I try phoning his parents regarding a checkup with a doctor or a record of his medical history, nobody ever picks up." The nurse looked upset and frustrated that she couldn't do much for him.

Little did the nurse know Jungwon didn't even have parents... 'Heeseung would be his guardian at best' you thought. "Oh, that's terrible..."  You felt yourself tense up knowing the reason for Jungwon's illness.

"Well, if you have no other questions I guess I will be on my way. Your name was y/n right?" She said while scratching a couple of words on a small pad of paper.

"That's correct."

"y/n... That name sounds familiar... Perhaps you are friends with Kyungeun?" The nurse put her pen and paper down on your nightstand.

"You know Kyungeun?" You rubbed the back of your neck.

"Of course! I visit her often. She's mentioned your name from time to time." She gave a healthy smile before getting up to leave, "She loves you to bits!"

You were touched Kyungeun would mention that to the nurse, it made you feel a little better knowing that.

"I'll get going now then, hun!" The nurse grabbed her case and exited your dorm after you thanked her.

When you went back to your bed you noticed the nurse had left her pad of paper. Taking the paper to go and run after her, you squint to read what was actually written on it. The paper just had blue ink notes in some wavy font about your condition and personal information. When you lifted the notepad up, you noticed a paper fell from the stack. Bending down with just your back, you saw Kyungeun's medical information swirled on the front.

"Anemia?" You read aloud before a  semi-aggressive knock was heard from behind your dorm door. You quickly stuffed the paper where it was originally attached, feeling guilty you saw what you should not have. "I was just about to chase you down!" You began speaking before the door was even completely open.

You saw the young nurse once again with a troubled face, "I'm so sorry, I'm so disorganized! Thanks, darling!" She looked relieved as you handed over the stuff she had left behind. You smiled to cover up the actual shock that shot through your veins after seeing Kyungeun's records.

Anaemia is a low blood condition and knowing Kyungeun had it still surprised you. Were you really trying to deny that Sunghoon drinks Kyungeun's blood?

...

You napped the rest of the day, catching up on the sleep you had missed over the past week. The throbbing in your head gladly helped you fall asleep in an instant, but your wishes of having a quiet sleep would not come true.

-

You found yourself in a fever dream, scenes flickering in your mind at the speed of light. You saw Jungwon's complexion glitter against a deep velvet as he drove his fangs deep into a prominent vein. The vein however on his own wrist; drinking his own blood. The amber-red liquid began streaming down his chin and into an empty wine glass in large opaque droplets. The imagery of the blood in a wine glass was one you had never thought you would see, especially in a dream. The blood was much thicker in consistency compared to alcohol and it made your stomach churn with absolute sickness as Sunoo picked up the glass to swish it around as the adults do with classic red wine. Sunoo then bit down on the heel of his palm, planting a deep bite mark. He began squeezing his hand tightly to release more blood into the glass. When the glass had filled midway, Sunoo chugged it down.  

-

"Y/N?!" You felt Nana shake both of your shoulders, waking you back conscious. You twitched while sitting up from your bed, "You're sweating like crazy. I got scared seeing your distressed face..."

"Fever dream... It's whatever..."  Surprisingly your headache hurt a lot less even after the vividly strange dream had seemingly interrupted your off day. The problem was now your stomach that felt awful over the constant blood being displayed in your head, "I think I'll be fine to go to school tomorrow after I sleep on it tonight, my headache has become a mild stomach"

"More rest? You probably just need to get up and out of your bed, it's too warm and stuffy plus you've barely moved the entire day." Nana nagged. To which you agreed, you were getting unbearably hot which might've been the trigger to the fever dream.

"Yeah, I'll go for a walk..." You stared down at your sheets while thinking about what the strange dream meant. Why did Sunoo drink Jungwon's blood? And can vampires drink each other's blood? You immediately thought of the book you had left in the woods the previous night, perhaps there were answers in it. You were just too horrified that day to pick up the book and take it with you. But it seemed it might be of use to you now.

"Have you eaten yet? Hyesun and Dahee are at the dining hall right now and I just came to check up on you."

"No, I haven't eaten the whole day... But I think I might vomit if I eat..." You fastened your eyes shut at the recollection of what you had seen, "Just go without me, I'll go for a walk in the meantime." You said with the means to go off into the forest and find that damned book.

...

You feel refreshed, with the clean autumn breeze gusting your hair back, and out of your face. It was around the time most people ate an early meal, so you weren't surprised to see few pairs of people in the courtyards. Students seemed to be taking it nice and slow under the calm weather, one on one conversations and cloud watching on the wood benches.

You strut along the same path you had gone down the other day, your mary jane shoes getting wet from a puddle on the way. The woods had looked a lot less intimidating during the early evening compared to after sunset. You just had to ensure you were taking the path Sunghoon had led you down and you'd find the book, right? It would be a quick and simple job.

But after taking the seemingly correct path, you found yourself getting more unfamiliar with where you walked. Regardless of where you ended up, the place was a lot more peaceful and pretty than your first impression of it. You skipped along, turning your journey into a leisurely hike now. The sun heavily coated one particular part of the forest, creating a mystic olive glow onto the dried grass. The section of forest, in particular, had fewer trees with a giant rock in the centre of it.  As you approached the area, you noticed someone far in the distance laying on the rock, basking in the sunlight with skin so white it looked teal under the reflection of the trees. The young boy didn't have your school's uniform but instead, a rust coloured flannel and some tatteredly torn jeans with cuts all over them. You were willing to just leave the delinquent alone, turn back and give up. That is until you noticed the boy reading.

As you came into a four-metre radius to get a better look at if the book he possessed was the one you were searching for, the boy sat up to gaze dead on at you. You probably looked worse than a deer in the headlights, surprised at his alertness. "Who are you?" The ash haired boy asked before you could.

"I'm looking for a book I dropped around here the other day." You bore your eyes at his hands.

"This wouldn't be it, would it?" The young stranger stood up to scoop the book off the rock so you could see it clearly. He was a lot taller than how he appeared while lying on his back.

"I'm pretty sure it is my book... May I have it back?" You asked politely after noticing the colour of the backing was identical to the one you picked up from the library.

"What's it to you?" He raised a brow while swirling his tongue around the inside of his cheek.

"It might answer some questions I have..." You bit your tongue as to whether or not the boy in front of you was among the vampire pack. It seemed his hesitation to give the book back was telling you undermining something.

"Ahh, so it's you who they talk about?" He nodded to himself, "Heard you were some clever girl who would eventually figure out our little secret." He dozed off into the distance at some withering pine trees. It was clear he was associated with the bunch by now, no surprises there.

"Sunghoon t-told me the other day you were all vampires... He was the one who took the book in the first place and used it to bait me here."

"Then why did you leave the book?"

"Got too shocked and sick, just wanted to escape the place after he told me you were all vampires. Thought I was going to die." You began to sweat. Recalling the situation made you realize you were in the same position once again; alone with a vampire in the woods far away from people.

"Alright? So you have questions about us that you think this silly book will answer? Why ask a book when you could ask the vampire right in front of you." He faced his palms up on either side of him.

You stood astonished by his response. Instead of forcibly taking your blood he was offering some useful information to you, "You mean you're not going to kill me?"

"I considered it... Until I found out who you were." He commented with a hint of disappointment. "Luckily you've caught me at the right time, so ask away."

"Found out who I was? What do you mean?"

"Who knows what kind of shit I'll hear from the guys if they found out I got a lick of your blood." He shut down your further questions about the matter, "Now ask the questions."

Looking around as if you were about to tell a secret, you dived right into the ideas you were given from your dreams, "Can vampires drink their own blood?" You gulped remembering Jungwon drawing blood from himself.

"They can... It helps with blood cravings but it tastes very bitter. Next." He said, treating the conversation as some speed round questionnaire.

"Okay...? Can vampires drink each other's blood?" The last scene of your dream coming to mind of Sunoo taking a swig of the wine glass filled with his blood mixed with Jungwon's.

"Who have you seen doing that? Sunoo? Jaeyun?"

"No one, it was just a dream!? Sunoo and Jaeyun actually do that?" It seemed weird hearing Sunoo's name being directly suggested. It was as if your dream was a potential reflection of reality. How could that be?

"Drinking other vampires blood tastes better than drinking your own blood but it's not often we do that." The boy tapped his head to think.

"So then what occasion would you drink each other's blood?"

"Usually when we can't get ahold of human blood. Survival purposes in short. Put it this way, drinking your own blood won't make you stronger because you're not getting any new nutrients. Drinking other vampire's blood will fulfil that it's just not as vital as half-humans or better yet, full human blood."

"Half-humans?! They exist?"

"Yeah, their blood tastes a lot better than full vampire blood but it's definitely not better than full human blood. Pretty sure Sunghoon feeds off some half-blooded girl, not that I can remember her name."

biography

yooseul was born in the muggy, oppressive heat of july to two very kind, yet very naive people. they were both young; barely 19 when they had yooseul, and were in no position to take care of a child. however, they still took on the challenge, as it was simply the kind of people they were.

while the pair meant well, they were always leaving yooseul with her aunt and uncle before traipsing off on another adventure. they loved traveling the world doing all kinds of thrilling, but reckless activities. climbing infamous mountain peaks, visiting the sites of active volcanos, boating down the amazon river with scarce supplies. the little girl would overhear pieces of arguments between her aunt & uncle and her parents. yooseul’s aunt and uncle tended to look out for her even more than her parents did, and were adamant that all the traveling was actively harming yooseul’s development. her mother and father remained steadfast that their daughter wouldn’t even remember this stretch of her life, due to how young she was.

when yooseul’s brother was born, everyone was a bit hopeful that yooseul’s parents would slow down with their jet-setting lifestyle, but if anything, it seemed to kick them into high gear. it was as though having a second child made them feel as though the clock were ticking on their lives, and off they were again on another adrenaline rush.

as yooseul grew enough to truly comprehend and lament her parents’ absence, it was only then that they seemed to finally understand the effect they were having. then again, anyone would probably start listening when their young child is on their knees, begging and crying with an intensity of someone’s whose heart was truly breaking. the trips slowed to a crawl and became every once in a while, rather than every other weekend. yooseul grew passive about them by age seven, as they were so infrequent, so when her parents told her they’d be going on a hiking trip to the south korean evergreen forests, she honestly didn’t think much of it.

she hadn’t seen her aunt and uncle in months, and she and her brother could fly kites in their spacious garden. it was a handful of positives, or so yooseul thought. ( tw begins here ) the days stretched on at their house, and it seemed to be taking a bit longer for her parents to return than she’d anticipated. she could tell something may have been wrong by the hushed conversations her aunt and uncle had, coupled with teary phone calls to people that yooseul couldn’t seem to make out.

she learned the truth while eavesdropping on a news story about her parents; apparently they had gone out hiking as planned, but they had never returned back to the hotel they were staying at. several searches had been conducted in the forest, but only scant, inconclusive traces of the couple were found.

as she was just a child, yooseul knew only hope. her parents would come back one day. why wouldn’t they? they’d been hiking before. they knew what they were doing. days turned into months, and optimism turned into doubt. the evergreen forests were so large and covered so much ground - and who knew if they were even still in there?

( end of tw ) her aunt and uncle did what they could for her and her brother, as the two had gained custody of the children due to their frequent care of them. while her brother was able to develop at a relatively normal pace, yooseul withdrew inside of herself for the most part. the hope she had once known had shifted into stinging pessimism. she loved the family she had left of course, but she was terrible at opening up about what she was feeling, and she was so reluctant for people to see any weakness in her. she had to be the strong one, and it was so much easier to be strong when you let emotions roll off your back entirely.

yooseul had difficult focusing on the things that went on around her, especially in school. she never really made socializing a priority, and her grades were abysmal. it was honestly a wonder that she graduated at all, but her aunt and uncle didn’t want her to be without a secondary diploma, so they refused to let her fall back irretrievably far.

trying to enter the workforce was even worse. she’d sworn off university, and all the small trade jobs she got never seemed to last more than a couple of months, mostly due to her lack of interest. she simply drifted from one meaningless wad of money to the next, either saving it up in a jar for goals she didn’t have or slipping it into her aunt’s purse when she’d refuse to take it directly.

having no prospects might have seemed like a downer of a life to live, but yooseul didn’t really think of things in those terms - she was solely focused on existing in whatever moment she was in and doing whatever she wanted to do. after her aunt and uncle surprised her with a fairly nice kia k8 (as they knew it was something she’d never buy for herself), she leaned into late night drives for comfort. there was something about being alone, feeling the wind ruffling through your hair, some mindless song on the radio recorded solely to push false emotions, watching the lines on the road come at you like knives when you push the limits of the car’s engine. it felt free.

after hearing word of a new rideshare app launching from her uncle, yooseul decided to apply to be a driver. she had nothing else going on at the moment, and those late night drives she enjoyed so much could actually make her some money.

she’s been doing it for a few years now and enjoys it as much as yooseul can enjoy something. the social aspect of it can be a bit awkward, so she loves nothing more than when her passenger keeps their face locked on their phone in silence. she’s since moved out of her aunt and uncle’s place and intro her own apartment at dallyeog. she figured it was finally time to move on, as her brother was now entering college and hadn’t really needed any help taking care of for some time now. maybe, deep down, she’d stuck around so long for sentimental reasons, but she’d never ever admit that.

wanted connections ( first come first serve )

anniversary of an uninteresting event ( open ) - yooseul never talks about it, but y/m saw the story about her parents on some exploitative talk show where they launched a ton of conspiracy theories about what happened. you want to set the record straight, but she doesn’t really wanna hear it.

be quiet and drive ( open ) - y/m orders a ride from yooseul with no set destination in mind. they’ve just had a really awful day and want to zoom through the city towards the sunset without looking back. lucky for them, that is just yooseul’s vibe.

needles and pins ( open ) - y/m and yooseul knew eachother before she moved into dallyeog, possibly even dating back to childhood. they actually know her better than most of the people she’s around now, which makes her mighty uncomfortable. she feels as if they hold some sort of key to a past she thought she’d locked away forever.

cherry waves ( open ) - nobody knows how y/m and yooseul came together, but every time they come into contact, they both immediately lose themselves. sitting on the beaches of busan with a bottle of whiskey, tiptoeing on the edge of dallyeog’s rooftop hand in hand, or ending up a tangled mess of flushed skin and kiss-swollen lips in the back of yooseul’s car; wherever they are, time doesn’t seem to exist.

battle axe ( open ) - yooseul can be a little abrasive when she’s irritated, and maybe that’s why y/m likes pushing her buttons so much. maybe they just like to challenge her attitude of not caring about anything. 

passenger ( open ) - somehow, every time y/m orders from the rideshare app, they end up with yooseul as their driver. it’s not that she doesn’t get them there safely and on time, but she can be...rather scary. maybe all it would take is a few conversations, and they’d see she’s not so bad, and maybe even bump up her rating to three stars?

hole in the earth ( open ) - yooseul did the unthinkable when she and y/m were together a few years ago: she actually opened up. she told them things she never thought she’d tell anyone, and y/m didn’t really understand the weight of that decision for her, betraying her trust. seeing y/m again now is just reopening old wounds and pouring on the salt.

digital bath ( open ) - for whatever reason, it is way easier for yooseul to have lengthier conversations over texts, snaps and other various digital means of communication. perhaps it’s not having to see the person’s reaction in real-time and therefor not having to process any of her own emotions. y/m is one of the only people who actually indulges her on this, and now they have become somewhat friendly as a result.

this is all i have for the moment, but i am v enthusiastic about brainstorming things based on chemistry and character traits or of course scooping up one of your open plots!

YJ: Oh, it's hard. When I first went to the recording studio, I was scolded and my self-esteem dropped. I felt like the world was over. I still remember having a hard time. It’s impossible to do well from the beginning. If you admit what you have to admit while learning, you will be able to do it. You may not be able to do it from the beginning and you may get scolded but take it for granted and do what you have to do one by one! You don't have to think about it too deeply! Good luck!

YJ: The level of “doing their best” is different for everyone. Probably you feel like you can’t reach your friend’s level (compare yourself to others). Don’t be too hard on yourself and try to look at yourself with a more comfortable mind. You might already live doing your best, just you couldn’t realize it yet.

Maybe In Another Lifetime (Part I)

“Soohyun, truth or shot?” tanong ni Goeun sa kaniya

Hindi ako makasagot dahil alam ko na kung anong itatanong ni Goeun sa akin. Hindi naman dapat ako kasali sa laro na pasimuno ni Jieun kaso ay pinagbantaan ako ni Hyesun na ako ang pagbabayarin ng venue.

Tinitigan ko lang ang basong may laman na alak sa harap ko. Umaasa na itutuon na lang ni Goeun ang atensyon sa iba pa naming kaibigan

“Kailan ka naka move on sa kaniya?” pagpapatuloy ni Goeun at itunuro si Yeji, na si Jieun lang ang pagitan naming dalawa

Napadapo ang tingin ko sa kaniya at napansing napahinto ito sa pagsasalita ngunit nakalipas ang ilang segundo ay pinagpatuloy na niya ang pakikipag usap kay Minyoung, ang isa sa pinaka matalik na kaibigan ni Yeji

“Wala na talaga siyang paki sa akin. Sa bagay, 10 taon na ang lumipas at mukhang masaya na siya. Ako na lang itong naiwan sa nakaraan” napangiti ako ng mapait ng maisip yun, mabuti na lang at walang naka pansin doon

Halos lahat ay lasing na, ako na lang at si Jieun ang natitirang nasa katinuan pa. Si Jieun kase ay ‘di pwedeng uminom ng alak, habang ako naman ay walang balak uminom. Pero dahil sa tanong ni Goeun ay natutukso akong inumin ang alak na nasa harapan ko

“Tagal mo naman sumagot, pre! Kanina pa kami naghihintay rito” reklamo ni Haein

Wala akong nagawa kundi inumin ang alak. Ninanamnam ang sarap at pait nito. Just like my life, tasty yet painful. I’ve been living like this when I decided to choose what’s right instead of what I want

Napanganga ang lahat, maliban kay Jieun. Alam naman niya na hindi pa ako handang pag usapan ang nakaraan at hanggang maari ay iiwasan ko ang ganitong tanong. Isang beses niya na akong tanungin tungkol sa bagay na ito noong nagkaroon kami ng team building pero ang ibinigay ko lang na sagot ay isang malungkot na ngiti. Agad naman iyong naunawaan ni Jieun kaya ‘di niya na ulit sinubukan tanungin ang bagay na iyon

Pero hanggang kailan ako iiwas? Hanggang kailan ko pagsisisihan ang desisyon na ginawa ko? Siguro ito na ang tamang oras para ilabas lahat ng nararamdaman ko. Baka sakaling makalaya na ako sa nakaraan, baka sakaling makalimutan ko na siya. Baka sakaling matanggap ko na wala na...na tapos na.

Alak lang talaga ang sa tingin ko na magbibigay sa akin ng lakas para harapin ang nakaraan na pilit kong tinatakbuhan

“Sayang! Naghihintay pa naman ako ng sagot” nadidismayang sabi ni Goeun at ininom ang kaka refill pa lang na Jack Daniel’s sa baso niya

“Ikot mo na yung ba--” napahinto sa pagsasalita si Goeun ng marahan kong paglapag ng baso sa lamesa

“Kung may paaran man para makalimutan ko siya sana ginawa ko na noon pa” at pinunasan ang labi ko gamit ang kanang braso ko

———————————————————————

Today marks as our first high school reunion of Batch 2009-2010. Everyone’s excited about it since magkikita kita na naman ang magkakaibigan noong high school. Thanks to Hyesun’s idea. Siya kase ang nag asikaso ng event kasama si Goeun at Hyojoo. Kaya nga noong high school ang tawag sa kanila ay “Utak ng Section 6”

But of course, I’m not part of the “Everyone” I don’t feel any excitement, I’m just feeling shit. Pinilit lang naman ako ni Jieun, pinaka matalik kong kaibigan at kasamahan ko sa architecture firm, na pumunta sa reunion. I’m not really fond of going on events, I’m not sociable like her. I prefer making blueprints and designing.

“Kanina ka pa pindot ng pindot sa phone mo. Anong laro na naman ang kinaaadikan mo?” tanong ko sa kaniya, nang sulyapan ko siya ay nakakunot na naman ang noo nito at anytime sasabog na naman sa sobrang galit

“Kausap ko kasi ‘tong g*go na ‘to. Ang sabi ko kase ay hihiramin ko muna yung van at si manong para mamaya. Ayaw ako pag bigyan” saad niya

“Ano ba tawag mo sa akin? Ginawa mo na nga akong driver ngayon bakit ‘di mo pa sulitin?” sabi ko pero napailing lang si Jieun

“Nararamdaman ko kase na malalasing ka ngayon kaya hinahanda ko na yung plan b”

“Wala akong balak uminom ngayon. May gagawin pa ako mamaya pag uwi”

“Wala pa nga tayo sa mismong lugar ay uwian na agad ang nasa isip mo?” natatawang sabi ni Jieun

Dinapuan ko ulit ng tingin si Jieun, “Alam mo naman dahilan kung bakit ayaw ko magtagal”

“Sure, whatever Mr. The Man Who Can’t Be Move” sagot niya

Nang mailiko ko ang sasakyan sa kanan ay nakarating na kami sa lugar kung saan gaganapin ang reunion. Simple pero magarbo ang exterior design ng event hall. Kasya na siguro kaming lahat

“Mauna na ‘ko, ah? Kanina pa ako hinahanap nila Hyesun” akmang bubuksan na sana ni Jieun ang pinto ng hawakan ko ang kaniyang braso para pigilan siya sa pag baba

“Sabay na tayo, please?” pakiusap ko

Napailing na lang si Jieun sa pakiusap nito “Pasalamat ka talaga at naging kaibigan mo ko”

Nang makahanap na sila ng mapaparkingan ay sabay silang lumabas ng sasakyan. Pinagpagan ni Jieun ang kaniyang sarili habang pinagmasdan ko naman ang lugar

Habang papalapit kami sa bukas na pintuan ay nakikita na nila ang makukulay na ilaw at malakas na tugtugan galing sa loob

“Late na ba tayo?” tanong ko ngunit nagkibit balikat lang si Jieun

Nang makapasok na kami sa hall ay sinalubong kami nila Hyesun, Goeun, at Hyojoo. Nakipag beso naman si Jieun sa tatlo at nginitian naman nila ako

Napatakip naman ng bibig si Goeun ng mapansin niya na sabay kaming dalawa na pumasok sa hall “Wait, don’t tell me you two are dating?” tanong ni Goeun sa dalawa

“Aamin na ako, crush ko talaga si Soohyun noong highschool pero there’s no way na papatulan ko siya” sabi ni Jieun at binigyan ako ng makahulugang tingin

Everytime na magkakasalubong kami sa firm, people always thought that we’re dating, na kung ‘di raw kasal si Jieun sa iba ay baka pwede pa kami. But no, I can’t find myself dating anyone. Even Jieun tried to set me up with someone but it didn’t work at all...

Hinawakan ni Hyojoo ang kaliwang kamay ni Jieun, mukhang napansin ang singsing sa fourth finger niya. “Kailan ka pa kinasal at bakit ‘di kami invited?” tanong niya

Napakamot naman ng ulo si Jieun “After ko maka graduate ng college, the wedding happened. Masyadong mabilis ang pangyayari. My parents wants to tie me up sa anak ng business partner nila” pagpapaliwanag niya at mukhang naunawaan naman kaagad ng tatlo iyon

“Late na ba kami?” tanong ko sa kanila kaya napabaling ang atensyon nila sa akin

Nginitian ako ni Hyesun, “Yung mag jowa na lang ata kulang” napatingin naman si Hyesun sa kasama niya kung tama ba ang sinabi niya. Napatango naman si Goeun, “Kaka head count ko lang, as of now we’re 38 na. Mukhang sila na lang ang hihintayin natin” sabi ni Goeun 

“Sinong sila?” tanong ni Jieun

“Si Yeji at Joongi. Grabe nga eh, tumagal sila” sabi ni Goeun

“Talaga ba? Sabi ko pa naman noon kay Yeji ‘di sila magtatagal” natatawang sabi ni Jieun

“Pero ang sabi ni Minyoung on and off ang relationship ng dalawa. Ang toxic na nga raw eh kaso ayaw pakawalan ni Yeji, hulog na hulog kay g*go” sabi naman ni Hyojoo kaya napatingin silang lahat kay Hyojoo

Bago pa mabuksan ni Jieun ang bibig niya para magsalita ay mahina ko siyang siniko sa braso niya. Iritableng napalingon sa akin si Jieun at tinaasan ako ng kilay

“Ano problema mo?” tanong niya, at binigyan ko siya ng makahulugang tingin

Hearing about Yeji and my former best friend, Joongi’s love life makes me uncomfortable. Ano ba dapat gawin kapag nakita ko silang mag kasama? Should I say hi and smile at them and pretend that I’m not hurting?

Even if it pains me seeing them together, if she really loves him..the only thing I could do is to be happy for her

“Guys, nangangalay na raw paa ni Soohyun. Hindi pa raw ba tayo uupo?” sabi ni Jieun para salbahin ang kaibigan malapit na mag breakdown dahil sa naririnig

At tumingin naman si Goeun sa akin, para bang may gustong tanungin sa akin ngunit pinili na lang na manahimik

“Oy, Soohyun. Lagot ka sa mga tropa mo. Bakit pati raw sila ghinost mo” sabi ni Hyojoo

Napakamot naman ako sa batok ko. Inaasahan ko naman na magtatampo mga kaibigan ko. Tatanggapin ko kung ayaw na nila sa akin

Habang naglalakad kami papunta sa lamesa namin ay nag salita ako “Busy kase nung college. Ayoko naman ma delay” paliwanag ko

Habang papalapit kami ay mas lalong lumalakas ang mga nagtatawanan na grupo. Ganitong ganito rin kami noong high school kaya lagi kami ang napapagalitan ng teacher. How I miss those days...

“Kumusta guys? Alam kong na miss niyo kami pero kalma lang kase kami lang ‘to” bungad ni Jieun sa kanila kaya agad silang nagtayuan upang salubungin ng yakap si Jieun

Pagkatapos nilang yakapin si Jieun ay napadapo ang tingin nila sa akin. Nginitian ko naman sila. Dahan dahan silang lumapit sa akin at binigyan ako ng mainit na yakap.

“Pre! Miss na kita!” si Taecyeon agad ang unang nakayakap sa akin. Kahit na naiinitan na ako dahil lahat ng mga tropa ko ay nakayakap sa akin ay ininda ko iyon. Masarap sa pakiramdam makita isa sa bumuo ng high school life ko.

Pagkatapos nila akong yakapin ay binatukan agad ako ni Seojoon, “Alam mo bang huling paramdam mo is noong high school graduation natin and you know that’s 10 years ago!” halos pasigaw na sabi ni Seojoon

“Baka naman sa susunod na high school reunion ka ulit mag paramdam. Kokonyatan kita” pagbabanta ni Wooyoung na tinawanan ko naman

“Pasensya na talaga mga pre. Sige sa susunod libre ko kayo dalawang case ng Empi” sabi ko at naghiyawan naman ang mga kaibigan ko

“’Wag niyo kakalimutan hingiin number nitong si Soohyun ah. Baka mamaya takasan tayo niyan” sabi ni Jongsuk 

Tinuro naman ni Seojoon si Jieun. “Etong si Jieun for sure may number yan ni Soohyun. Mukha pa ngang sabay sila pumunta rito eh” 

Napalingon naman sa banda namin si Jieun ng marinig niyang binaggit ang pangalan niya “Pinag uusapan niyo ba ako?” 

“Hihingiin namin yung number ni Soohyun sayo in case na takasan niya kami. Manlilibre raw si g*go eh” paliwanag ni Jongsuk, nag thumbs up naman si Jieun sa kaniya pagkatapos ay bumalik sa pakikipag kwentuhan sa mga kaibigan niya

“Mukhang nangangalay ka na pre, gusto mo bang maupo?” tanong ni Hyunwoo sa kaniya, tumango naman ako at tinuro ni Seojoon ang bakanteng upuan sa likod niya

Pinuntahan ko naman ang inalok na upuan ni Seojoon at naupo na. Umupo na rin ang mga kaibigan ko sa kani kanila nilang upuan. Nasa katabing lamesa namin sila Jieun at mukhang nagkakatuwaan na

Kinalabit naman ako ni Haein na mukhang kakagaling lang sa food stall. May bitbit kase siyang isang pirasong donut sa kanang kamay niya, “Kumusta na pre? Ilan na najowa mo?” tanong niya at naupo sa bakanteng upuan sa kaliwa ko

“Wala akong jowa” sabi ko at nagkantyawan naman ang mga kaibigan ko

“Imposible! Hindi ka man lang gumamit ng secret technique para maka bingwit ng babae?” ‘di makapaniwalang tanong ni Seojoon sa kaniya

“Hanggang ngayon babaero ka pa rin?” tanong ko sa kaniya

“Oy pre” sabay pakita ng singsing sa kaliwang kamay niya “Happy wife, happy life na paniniwala ko” proud na proud na sabi sa akin ni Seojoon

“Sino naman ang naloko mo sa mga moves mo?” tanong ko, itinuro naman ni Seojoon ang babaeng nasa kabilang table

“Pinatulan ka ni Minyoung, pre? Akala ko ba mag kaaway kayo?” gulat na napatingin ako sa kaniya

Noong high school kase, hindi matatapos ang klase na hindi nag aaway ang dalawa. Kahit napaka simpleng problema, pinapalaki nila. Kaya hangga’t maari ay ‘di sila pinag sasama sa isang grupo, unless alphabetical order ang groupings

“Hindi ko nga rin alam pre, basta isang araw nagising na lang ako na siya na iniisip ko” sabi niya kaya binatukan siya ni Wooyoung

“Napaka corny mo! Layas ka nga rito”

“Inggit ka lang kase wala kang love life”

“Ayoko pa matali ‘no! Gusto ko pang namnamin ang bachelor life ko” 

Habang nagtatalo ang dalawa ay tinawag naman ni Taecyeon ang pangalan ko, “Kumusta ka na,pre? Kumusta ang buhay?” 

Napangiti naman ako sa tanong niya “Ayos lang naman. Kahit madaming pinapagawa sa architecture firm, masaya naman ako” kahit hindi

Tumango tango naman si Taacyeon, “Pag ba ako nag pa desenyo ng bahay ko may discount?”

Sasagot na sana ako ng makarinig kami ng hiyawan sa kabilang table

“Atty. Seo Yeji! Kumusta ka na?” 

Nanigas ang buong katawan ko ng marinig kong tinawag ni Jieun si Yeji. Fck, she’s here. Is she with him? Is she happy? Kumusta na siya? Ang dami dami kong gustong tanungin sa kaniya ngunit ang lingunin siya ay ‘di ko magawa

It’s been 10 years since the day I saw her. Ang tanging naalala ko lang sa kaniya ay ang maamo niyang mukha habang ipinapakilala niya si Joongi sa mga magulang niya. 

Ako dapat yun eh..ako dapat. Ako dapat yung nag abot sa kaniya ng bulaklak noong graduation, ako dapat yung yumakap sa kaniya, ako dapat yung naka akbay sa kaniya habang kinukuhanan ng litrato sa stage. Ako sana yun...

Pero mas pinili ko na pakawalan siya kase alam ko na hindi ako yung lalaking magpapasaya sa kaniya. Hindi ako yung lalaking kayang ibigay lahat ng atensyon sa kaniya. Hindi ko pa kaya noon...

[stylesprimes]

Now that we’ve had a ndp update (which was great, I miss them so much, they will forever be one of my faves), how about a d&b update?

yes!!! i honestly haven’t put as much thought into post-d&b as i have ndp, so pls lower your expectations now lmao!

(also i feel like i have answered this somewhere else before so if i say something contradictory just pick whichever one you like better)

i even had to remind myself that we left off in face with a view in fall 2016 with all of them in their senior year!

after they graduate, the next couple of years would be a tough grind for all of them, both with frances finding her footing professionally and the band trying to Make It. a lot of bar gigs and opening slots and service jobs for hysterical naked, a lot of frances doubting herself and her skills.

in terms of harry and frances, it isn’t an easy ride for the two of them. things were going great for them throughout the rest of senior year and that first summer where they’re all in chicago. they barely hang on after that summer for the next couple of years—jeff brings the band out to new york city in fall 2017 to help then land a record deal, but frances finally lands her first gig in her field in chicago so there’s a lot of long distance and months without seeing each other.

between frances and harry, there’s definitely some miscommunication and some fights, but they never actually break up, even if there’s a couple of weeks spent where they’re not talking because they’re that mad at each other. it’s especially tough on frances, who feels like she’s separated from her second family.

once it seems like the band has made a home for themselves in nyc (late 2018, maybe?), frances spends months searching for an electrical engineering position in nyc (probably not telling harry at first) but finally gets a place at a start-up that will let her work remotely a few weeks a year.

2019 is the year it all comes into place for them, when hysterical naked release their sophomore album that gets a lot of critical acclaim and they are able to do a full-on headline tour and their label even has enough confidence to send them to europe, australia, and japan. they’ve definitely been building quite the dedicated fanbase, partially thanks to their great instagram content—they’ve got a really great photographer on tour with them and hanging in the studio sometimes (-:

in 2020, the band is finally making enough money that they can all have their own not-terrible apartments, and harry talked frances into moving in with him from the get-go. the band has some tour plans but they also just really need to take a break for a bit. frances, harry, hyesun, niall, and zayn still have their family dinners at frances and harry’s apartment once a week.

The music that flowed through the speakers of the small auditorium grew louder as the song hit its highest point. The dancers on stage moved with passion, driven by the cheers of the crowd that watched them. Their hard work was evident to anyone present. The song came to an end with an explosive finale. The audience got on their feet to show their admiration, and your sister who sat beside you was no exception, praising her friends. The group took their last bow before they disappeared off of the stage, the crowd cleared out of the auditorium, talking about their favorite performance of the evening. 

You were in the process of following the other people out of the theatre when you felt your sister tap your shoulder. "Hey, want to go backstage and congratulate them?" she asked. However, when she saw the way your lips formed that tight line and the way your brow furrowed, she couldn't help but sigh. "Wait, have you and Woojin still not made up?"

"It's normal for couples to fight," you reasoned, the cold night air sweeping across your warmed skin. Though you had your back to her as you looked for a place to stand, you knew that she was giving you quite the look. 

"True, though I still feel like it's silly. I gave you my blessing to date one of my closest friends, and I don't like having to choose sides..." she said with another sigh. "Look, they want me to go and see them, to congratulate them. You'd be okay with waiting here, right? I promise it'll be quick."

You nodded as she ran off. You knew that you had put your sister in an awkward position. When you had confessed that you and Woojin had been secretly seeing each other for about a month, you knew that it made her uneasy. You both promised that you would put her in the middle of a fight, but it seemed like you had. You weren't often this stubborn, but this time… it really got the better of you. It may have been silly to her and to Woojin, but it bothered you greatly.

About a week ago, you had a big recital. It was important to you, something you had been working hard towards, and Woojin had promised to be there. Unfortunately, it happened to coincide with the day when a good friend of his was moving away to pursue higher education. She was a friend of your sisters too, and it seemed like everyone was going to be there... and Woojin didn't want to be left out. You knew you shouldn't have been upset. You'd have other recitals, but his friend leaving was a big deal. But even so, you still lost your temper.

You distracted yourself with your phone as you sat on the steps to the theatre. When you heard footsteps, you had assumed they were someone passing by. But when the individual stopped and spoke, you froze. "Thanks for coming tonight. It really meant a lot."

The individual took a seat next to you, and against your better judgment, you looked over at him. Woojin looked somewhat exhausted, though that was to be expected from that ridiculous dance performance. He grinned at you, that toothy grin of his. You thought that you were still angry at him, but that smile all but washed those feeling away. Now you just felt like a jerk for avoiding him. 

"You know that I was dragged here by my sister," you said softly, though your words held no malice.

On instinct, Woojin pulled you into his arms, pleasantly surprised when you didn't pull away from him. Instead, you nestled close, and that made his aching heart feel a bit better. "I'm sorry about missing your recital. I should have said no when they were pressuring me to show up..."

You gently shook your head. "No, I shouldn't have made such a big deal. I know that Hyesun is an important person to you. I shouldn't have made a big deal that you wanted to see her off on her big life adventure. I shouldn't have let my imagination run wild and said that you loved her more..." you confessed. You know that your outburst had surprised him before, those unfounded allegations that you had made when your heart had been far too emotional. "I'm sorry too…"

Woojin lightly placed a kiss on the top of your head, arms holding you tighter. "Did you really believe that I'd leave you for her?"

"I know it was irrational..." you muttered. 

"Because," he started, "if you believe that, then you're dumber than I thought." Woojin's teasing was evident from his tone. You couldn't help but give him a shove, knowing that he was making fun of you and your crazy imagination. 

"I can't help it okay," you retorted, suddenly feeling flustered as he pulled you back in for a hug, even as you struggled. 

"I love you, silly, and I always will," he told you confidently, finally getting you to calm down long enough that he could place the gentlest kiss on your lips…

[TRANS] 190711 OnlyU-IU China share fun moments they had with IU and her team on the set of Hotel Del Luna

Our staff members double checked the items before the departure with an anxious heart. Fortunately, we were able to reach the set on time despite the heavy traffic. The food truck, tent, tables and banners were all set up when we arrived at the set. Then, it took us another 40 minutes to prepare all the gifts by putting them carefully in each paper bag and stacking them up on the table beside the buffet tent.

Not too long after we were done with the gift preparations, manager Hanteo approached us, gave us his warm greetings before checking out the buffet tent. As the weather was pretty hot, Hanteo jokingly told us that he would ‘drink’ all the (Ghana) chocolates within the gift bag right away. When going through the other gifts, we especially pointed out that the Voluspa aromatherapy candles were for IU Team, so Hanteo thanked us in Mandarin, saying “xie xie!” as well.

He reminded us that since we would have to wait a little longer, so stay away from the sun in some shade. He also passed on the gifts to director Oh, actor Yeo Jin Goo and IU Team. Later, PD told us we could pass the gift to IU in person in a while.

We gave the staff of Hotel Del Luna the gifts we prepared as they passed by from time to time. During dinner time, some staff came to collect their gifts and we got the HDL team PD to pass on the remaining gifts to other busy staff on the set. 

Around 8PM, IU finally appeared in her pony tail, white loose t-shirt and pants. Since the coffee truck was right beside the entrance, so she took lots of proof photos with the help of Hyesun and the new manager (Moon Ji Hwan) first. After greeting us, she expressed her gratitude for the gifts and meal that we prepared, telling us that she would enjoy the meal and asking whether we were hungry as well or not. We still managed to answer her that we were ‘hungry’ though our mind went completely blank at that moment as we were softened by her sweet tender eyes. IU then invited us to join her for dinner.

The HDL team PD also encouraged us to sit beside IU for dinner. Together, we also had Hanteo, Hyeseon and the new manager (Ji Hwan) with us in one table, and thankfully all of them ate a lot. IU seemed to have noticed how nervous we were, so she kept initiating conversation with us. She said, “we (IU Team) are usually quiet whenever we eat, and given the hot weather and packed filming schedules today, so everyone’s still in a daze. Did all of you travel all the way from China? It must have been hard for you guys to be here given the scorching hot weather.” When she was told that some of us would have to catch the early morning flight in a bit, she frowned as pain and sadness clouded her features.

When eating, director Oh came by so IU introduced him to us and we quickly bowed to him. Director Oh was pretty adorable and not all that serious or solemn as he greeted us enthusiastically and expressed his gratitude for our support. He kept the Hotel Del Luna customised towel around his neck all the time, even when he was having his meal.

Seeing how most of them were almost done with eating, we brought out the gifts and explained to them about the Diptyque’s limited edition ‘The Legend of the North’ series’ candles first. IU was touched upon knowing that we chose the candles because it suited Man Wol’s mysterious aura, saying “ah~ because it suits Man Wol!”. She also let out a tiny ‘wow’ when we told her we bought GUCCI’s A Kiss from Violet perfumed oil for her because its violet scented (IU’s favourite). We also let IU have a look at our charity/ donation certificate, telling her that hundreds of Uaenas participated in this donation and some of us visited the institute with some necessities and played with the kids there to which IU replied ‘aigoo’ tsunderely/ proudly and dearly. She also asked about the details and complimented us ‘Hen BBang!’ (so amazing) in Mandarin since one of us personally went to the welfare institute. IU gave us a big thumbs up, saying ‘Zzen Bbang! Xie xie!’ (really amazing! thank you!) when we mentioned about the necessities that we have donated. One of us caught on the right timing of the atmosphere and started applauding, to which IU joined her right away, followed by Hyeseon, Hanteo and all HDL staff from other tables who had no idea of what’s going on. It suddenly turned into an ocean of harmony 😂.

Click here for more details of IU’s birthday gifts (candles and perfumes), fan donation and fansupport by OnlyIUcn.

We also told IU about her super topic ‘#IU’ that has accumulated over 10 billion reads on Weibo recently and she was ultimately shocked. Since she’s not familiar with how weibo functions, so we explained to her that the hashtag is sort of a community on weibo where people could leave their posts, comments, votes and screenshots there to support her. She seemed to have grasped on the super topic concept after going through some of our posts in the hashtag section and showed off the milestone achievement to people around her. 

IU: Hey, I achieved 10 billion reads! Hanteo and Hyeseon: As expected from the scale of mainland China, they don’t just simply go with (small numbers like) ten thousands when it comes to calculations.

We passed the <10 Years of Flower Road> book to IU, sharing with her that C-Uaenas designed, edited and compiled everything about her within this book in celebration of her 10th anniversary. We also tried to find the best printing manufacturer that we could to bring out the best quality of it. As soon as she got the book on hands, she kept gasping in admiration, saying “wow this is truly amazing. This is impressive, OnlyIU’s scale is no joke” as she flipped through the pages slowly. She especially stopped at one of the pages which contained IU Team’s photo, too bad the whole book was written in Chinese so the staff unnie tried to cheer her up by telling her that they could translate right away using mobile apps. All of them joked a few times about looking for someone who knows Mandarin and asked everyone to hurry up and learn the language too.

IU really likes the calligraphy gift that we gave her so she took a special proof shot with it. Since it’s written in Chinese, she asked us about the meaning of the poem. We were still in a daze at that time so we only explained briefly that it’s a poem about the moon. IU said she would try to look for a professional to interpret it.

Poem: The Moon Festival by Su Shi

When will the moon be clear and bright? With a cup of wine in my hand, I ask the blue sky. I don’t know what season it would be in the heavens on this night. I’d like to ride the wind to fly home. Yet I fear the crystal and jade mansions are much too high and cold for me. Dancing with my moon-lit shadow, It does not seem like the human world. The moon rounds the red mansion stoops to silk-pad doors, Shines upon the sleepless Bearing no grudge, Why does the moon tend to be full when people are apart? People may have sorrow or joy, be near or far apart, The moon may be dim or bright, wax or wane, This has been going on since the beginning of time. May we all be blessed with longevity though far apart, We are still able to share the beauty of the moon together.

Even though we are thousands of miles and oceans (Yellow Sea) apart, nothing can stop us from surrendering our hearts to the full moon (Man Wol) C-Uaenas present president Jang Man Wol this poem And may the opening of Hotel Del Luna blossom 

*Yellow Sea is a marginal sea of the Pacific Ocean located between mainland China and the Korean Peninsula. *Full Moon is pronounced the same way as Man Wol in both Chinese and Korean.

밝은 달은 어느 때나 떠오를지 술잔을 잡고 하늘에 물어본다. 달 속에 있는 궁궐은 오늘밤은 어느 해인지 모르겠구나. 나는 바람을 타고 돌아가고자 하니 달 속의 궁궐이 높은 곳이라 추위를 견디지 못할까 두려워라. 일어나 춤추니 그림자도 따라 도는데 어찌 인간 세계와 비길 수가 있으랴 달그림자가 붉은 누각 빙 돌며 곱게 조각한 창문에 드리우니 달빛에 비추어져 잠을 이룰 수 없네. 더 이상 번뇌가 있을 수 없는데 무슨 일로 오래도록 이별할 때에 이렇게 둥근가? 인간에겐 슬픔과 기쁨, 이별과 만남이 있고 달은 흐리고 맑고, 둥글고 이지러짐이 있으니 이런 일은 예전부터 완전하기가 어려워라. 다만 바라기는 멀리 떨어져 있는 이가 오래 살아서 천 리 밖에서도 이 밝은 달을 함께 구경했으면.

Note: This is a famous Mid-Autumn lyric written by Sushi(a poet in Song Dynasty) for his brother Zi-you(1039-1112) when the poet was away from the imperial court. According to some commentators, “the palace on high” might allude to the imperial palace and therefore, after reading this lyric, Emperor Song Shen Zong said that Su Shi was loyal.

When IU was giving us her signature as acknowledgement (of the fan support), we noticed that IU’s mandarin pinyin skills were remarkably impressive, she came up with most of the pinyin (as shown in the picture) and kept seeking confirmation from us (just incase she made a mistake). She wanted to write 시원한 여름 (a cool and refreshing summer) so badly because it kind of means “watching horror movies” in Korea too (납량). She wanted to write “we will see each other very soon” so she added “see you soon” in English too. It was obvious that IU urged to write using lots of pinyin but she didn’t have much time since the drama team was rushing to another filming venue already. Nevertheless, she drew a big thumbs up and yummy bowl of rice for us and was eventually made fun by IU Team. They jokingly asked her “what are those?”, making IU shooting daggers at them keke.

“Dear. OnlyU-IU China ♥   Thank you all!! Well done!! 👍 Yummy 🍚💕 Miss you guys…♥ I love you guys! Stay healthy! - from IU” 

“Dear C-uaenas ♥ I miss you all very much See U soon! Don’t fall sick...☆ Thank you! 😊 - from IU”

Lastly, we told IU that we would enjoy watching the drama to which she replied “please do enjoy (watch) the show (properly), it’s very interesting.” She kept thanking us a few times in Mandarin after bidding farewell to us too.

The PD came by after that and took the huge IU (with her head facing down) photo away, explaining that he would hang it in the waiting room. We weren’t sure whose waiting room he was referring to since we didn’t dare to question more, so we could only pray and hope earnestly that he’s taking it to IU’s room TT.

Then we sent off the coffee truck & buffet tent owners and bid farewell to the entire crew on the set before leaving. We lost count of how many times we went around the set to bow (give greetings) to make sure we didn’t miss any corner of it.

Despite being short of hands due to some of our members who couldn’t make it last minute, but we are very happy to have completed the fan support, passed IU her gift in person and relayed her greetings and thanks to C-Uaenas safely. We are fully aware that IU made lots of adorable facial expressions and kept a smile on her face all the time because she wanted to express her gratitude towards Uaenas who worked hard together to bring up the fan support to her on the set. Once again, we thank Uaenas who contributed in this fan support. We will continue to give IU the best fan support!
