TAG DROP FOR ENZO MORALES.

[active-mind-15]

I've had a thought for some time now... what if Akashi was a BTS fan?

At first, I was entertaining this idea simply because BTS and KNB are my biggest interests, but then I started to think harder about it, and I think it would make sense for him to be a fan of them.

Now, I know some of my KNB moots on Tumblr listen to Kpop, but I know that not everyone does, and even the ones who do are not all fans of BTS. With that being said, I'll try and explain things as best as I can for all the folks unfamiliar with BTS so this headcanon is easier to understand even for non-fans.

I predict this is going to be a very long post, so I'll have mercy on y'all and put the rest of this under the cut. Enjoy!

A summary of who BTS is for anyone reading who doesn't know them:

7-member music group from South Korea. They debuted on June 13th, 2013, and are comprised of 3 rappers and 4 vocalists. The members are RM (leader and rapper), Jin (vocalist), Suga (rapper), J-Hope (rapper), Jimin (vocalist), V (vocalist), and Jungkook (vocalist). Here's a picture for reference. I also wrote their stage names down next to each member so you know who is who.

BTS is an acronym for Bangtan Sonyeondan, roughly translating to "bulletproof boys". So, BTS aimed to be the bulletproof shield to protect people--especially those in their 10s and 20s--from harsh societal criticism that rained down on them like bullets. Their fanbase is called ARMY, an acronym that stands for "Adorable Representative MCs for Youth" (yeah I know it's wordy), and with that name, BTS hoped that listeners of their music would be inspired to find their voice and spread positivity. While they do have their fair share of cute/silly songs, a very large chunk of their work is lyrically introspective and touches on a lot of social, psychological, and even political issues. Bolstered by the fact that their music is self-written and co-produced, their authenticity is one of their biggest strong points and has allowed millions of people worldwide to relate to the messages in their music.

That being said, what does this have to do with Akashi being an ARMY? Well, I just wanted to imagine how he would become fascinated with a group like them, so I'll be splitting up this post into sections. I don't know how many sections I'll do, I'm winging this as I go, so let's just start with section 1.

HOW DID HE BECOME AN ARMY?

Mibuchi. Mibuchi strikes me as someone who would already be an ARMY and would convince Akashi to give them a shot. Maybe Akashi catches Mibuchi gushing over some photos of them online and it happens enough times that he finally cracks and asks who they are.

As someone who is an ARMY of 7+ years, when someone asks me who BTS is, I have to hold myself back from exploding where I stand because I get so excited when someone wants to know about them because they're so amazing that I always want more people to discover their music. Mibuchi, being the dedicated ARMY that he is, would instantly fill Akashi in on the details of who they are, the type of music they make, and who each of the members is, and Akashi would listen very intently, getting more curious the more he listens to Mibuchi talk about them.

Something I usually do when people ask for BTS recs is ask them for their favorite genres. The reason why I do that is because BTS has experimented with so many genres that their discography is incredibly diverse, probably more diverse than most artists I've ever listened to. So, I usually just fine-tune my recommendations to people's preferences to make the initial listening experience more palatable. And that's what Mibuchi does for Akashi. Once he gets Akashi's favorite genres, he sends him a playlist of BTS songs that fit his preferences. And so, because Akashi isn't one to turn down music recommendations, he keeps his word and listens to the playlist front to back.

After finishing the playlist, Akashi lays on his bed and stares at the ceiling, the chemistry of his brain permanently altered, wondering how on earth he went so long without knowing who BTS was.

AKASHI'S BIAS AND BIAS-WRECKER

If you don't know what these terms mean, having a 'bias' just means you have a favorite member. It's someone you feel your attention is naturally drawn to more than others in the group. You can be drawn to them for multiple reasons such as liking their voice, thinking their fashion is cool, or having a similar personality to theirs. There really are no rules for this kind of thing. A 'bias-wrecker' is a member who steals (said endearingly) your attention away from your bias, on occasion. Think of it as two members constantly replacing each other as your favorite. However, this is not always the case and not every ARMY has a bias/bias-wrecker. Some spread their attention pretty evenly across all the members and don't really have a particular favorite. But it's a fun question ARMYs like to ask other ARMYs every now and again, so for the sake of this post, I will include who I think Akashi's bias and bias-wrecker would be if he had them.

So, right off the bat, I know deep in my heart that Akashi's bias would without a doubt be Suga.

Reasons why I think Suga would be his bias:

All of the BTS members are authentic, but Suga is most notably known for his raw unfiltered lyrics and his candidness about his past experiences. He suffered a lot in his teens and 20s to be able to make music the way he is today. Despite all that, he's unafraid to speak about his mental health journey and often encourages ARMYs to be open about our own journies as well so we can normalize conversations around it and get the support we need. Through listening to Suga's story, Akashi would probably relate a lot to his struggles and gain strength from his words.

Suga's stage name is actually short for "shooting guard" because that was the basketball position he used to play back when he was in high school. So, he would get extra points in Akashi's book simply for that. I know he'd be excited to find out that piece of information and relay it back to Mibuchi, who would then show Akashi videos of Suga playing basketball and get him more excited about Suga. I can just imagine him going into captain mode and making little comments here and there like "he has a nice release" or "his shots go in very cleanly" or "I would have scouted him for Rakuzan if he were a high-schooler".

I also think there are a few similarities in their personalities Akashi would pick up on. Aside from their shared love of basketball and personal struggles with mental health as teens, I would say they're both pretty introverted, are extremely hard workers, both play piano, both show affection to their loved ones through acts of service, and both of them are incredibly strong, despite all that they've been through.

But who is Akashi's bias-wrecker? I'd have to say it'd be RM.

Reasons why I think RM would be his bias:

As I've mentioned before, RM is the official leader of BTS. I think for that reason, he would garner a lot of respect from Akashi, who would be impressed as to how he could be the leader of a globally recognized group starting from such a young age, especially when he hears about all of the hardships BTS had to face as they climbed up the ladder. As someone who has also had to step up and be a leader from a very young age, Akashi would look to RM and take notes of his leadership style to see if there's anything he could implement in his own life.

RM is also one of the main lyricists of BTS and the way he can speak and carry himself with such poise and maturity would also be another thing that Akashi respects. He loves to analyze RM's lyrics for every use of double entendres, wordplay, and literary/psychology references. (I have a separate headcanon that Akashi is at least conversational in Korean, if not fluent, so I'm sure that would make RM's lyrics all the more interesting to dissect.)

Akashi would also find similarities between himself and RM, too, outside of being leaders of their respective teams such as a love for the fine arts and nature, high intelligence (RM has an IQ of 148), and his down-to-earth demeanor.

FAVORITE BTS GROUP SONGS:

So I'm just gonna go album by album and list the songs that I think Akashi would pick as his favorite from each one, mostly due to the message in the lyrics, but some will also be because I think the instrumentals would be up his alley. I'll also provide some links to lyric videos so you guys can listen and read along to further understand my song choices. Any songs with an asterisk(*) next to them will link to a music video, so just turn on the closed captions. Fair warning, the older music videos have translated captions that are a little bit clunkier, but they're still readable. Anyway, let's go!

HOW AKASHI FEELS BEING AN ARMY

I think finding out such a prominent music act is singing about topics he directly relates to is such a shock to him. It's like he feels seen at long last and he isn't going through these issues alone. Even if BTS doesn't know who he is, the fact that their music speaks to him is enough to comfort him through tough times.

I'd like to think that when he's had an exceptionally rough day, he likes to just lie in bed and listen to them. He seems like the type of person to reserve time out of his day to just listen to their music in silence.

Because he became such a fan, he and Mibuchi would now have so much more to talk about with each other, and Akashi would also come to understand why Mibuchi would be such a big fan of a group like them. Together, they'd stream new releases right when they come out, watch BTS's livestreams together, and, if they're able, go to concerts together. Concerts are more of a new thing for Akashi since I feel like he has never been to a proper concert before, so the first concert he'd ever go to would probably be super overwhelming, but he'd feel reassured with Mibuchi by his side. And the concert ends up being amazing and Akashi feels like he just...belongs. Something would finally click for him that day, and he would realize that this level of connection, not just with the artists, but with the fans as well, was something he really enjoyed.

BTS would kinda stay as mainly Akashi and Mibuchi's thing, but Hayama and Nebuya do give BTS a shot, too, and find they do like a lot of their music as well. Their favorite songs are probably the more upbeat ones, though, as opposed to most of the ones I chose to be Akashi's favorites.

But the bottom line is that being able to come together with his friends over a common interest outside of basketball makes Akashi happy and he hopes he can continue to share memories with his friends through music.

Okay, I've gotta cut it off here, I have to get ready for a family dinner outing. If you managed to make it to the end of my post, I hope you enjoyed my ramblings and also the music I linked. Bye for now!

[lotus-mirage]

Trigun Stampede Episode 11 Liveblog!

I'll probably try to do the last one right after this

They're going right into the opening! Always a good sign.

Ok so Wolfwood isn't just gonna ditch for a while. Nice.

oh lmao I somehow wound up with in eng dub and was very caught off guard

oh this is way more comedy than I thought there was gonna be at this point. visually, at least, the background music is kind of... sad harmonica. not doing that.

wait wait, how does the doctor/priest guy have a percentage monitor happening. I thought this was more of a bio communion thing than a technological one?

Oh nice!! Lore exposition!!! :D

lol it even comes with visuals

"The manifestation of the beginning and the end. The source of all matter and energy." uhhhhh okay! I'm not gonna touch that actually.

...wait, the visuals have multiple icons under "core." Are there like aspects?

(yeaaaah the uh. the plants look uncomfortably like they've got humanoid lower bodies now. joy.)

okay but the way they're spinning it, the plants didn't have souls before now? I guess it's possible that they're running with having souls and consciousnesses being separate, but if that isn't the case then this would kind of put them into a worse spot? Like they're debatably putting the plants into a situation where they now have to deal with... everything up with this planet and beyond, potentially?

I guess what I'm getting at is I think this feels like not necessarily the opposite of 'saving [their] brethren,' but it's not really the same thing either.

"Then be crucified on behalf of the Sinners, as you wish!" yeah yeah okay. you do realize you don't have to be that blatant about it right <- (amused)

So potentially other plants had access to gates, then? Huh.

Oh oof. Roberto :(

Ohhhhh my god I was like 'ah trauma central time, huh?' and then Rollo got head-shotted. I was absolutely unprepared for that oh my god.

I realize Knives is wearing like a bodysuit or something but everytime he reappears I have like a split second of thinking he's butt-naked. Arguably this is better than the acne snuggie, but like. just marginally. sir. sir please put on a pair of pants.

Oh I think they're playing with filters that's so cool

I paused to write something down but the windmills in the background distracted me. They look like crosses again.

Oh! Oh yeah right I was gonna say it was impressive how uncanny Roberto and Meryl looked in that shot, especially considering it's the same models. Roberto especially though, like Meryl looks off but he seriously looks dead.

wait is this how the amnesia thing comes into play. I'd assumed whatever this is wouldn't stick, but that might actually be what happens???

I was gonna ask if the root-looking-things were just phasing through Vash's clothing or what, but now they seem to have gone through the bulletproof glass, so, uh. quite possibly.

I will say the flowers make for some really neat visuals!

Wait wait wait I just. Her name is Rem Saverem? Is that supposed to read as Rem Save-rem?? I just. Okay yeah I need to move past this but seriously

Huh, this guy? Wonder how long we're gonna follow him.

Oh that's. That's a visual, okay. I thought they were like underground. :0

Huh. Does kid-Knives' voice have an effect on it? I'm not 100% on that but I kinda think so.

Oh that's right we never learned what Knives' thing was. Interesting okay. (maybe he has a one-way gate? so he can receive matter and energy and therefore self-sustain?)

Also. I may be wrong about this but I am kind of reading this scene as Knives having had actual affection for Rem as well. Whether or not that lasted, idk, but that's the way it seems to me.

Oh! Oh hey Vash thinks so too. lmao okay, that was in fact the point of the scene, got it.

Huh. In front of the screen, they look exactly the same. Hair, eyes, and all.

actually no their eyebrows are still different

WAIT THERE'S A THIRD ONE?

...is that the kid from the doctor's photo???

...frozen??

Oh. Oh yeah that's.

What the fuck.

... okay Knives' freakout is understandable! Okay!!!

"ALIVE" are you sure about that. maybe technically.

Oh this guy literally has read the bible. I keep forgetting that a portion of this symbolism is in-universe, too. Man.

"Let's have faith in humanity" as very ominous music plays. That's fun. I am having so much fun right now.

Ah. Decapitated. Oof.

...Why is his coat also changing colors?

"Happy Birthday, Vash." It's his (your guys'?) birthday????? You picked your shared birthday????

also "I've finally got him back!" idk buddy that doesn't look very 'back' to me!! That looks like the opposite of 'back.' I'm being facetious here, I know it's a possession thing, but the point still stands.

Oh the flowers opening is a really cool visual.

Okay yeah Knives isn't just referencing bible stuff, he's actively invoking it. ...That's actually my favorite way of doing things I love when characters apply framework/themes/symbolism to themselves.

...yeah that was pregnancy imagery before and it sure is now!!!! I am. Very squicked out right now. Wahoo.

Wait the gate can be physically entered??? Wasn't expecting that, alright.

"permitted death" huh. Actually. Why are you still around? Like I would have expected Knives to want to accomplish his plan without humans involved?

It's making a humanoid figure???? Again was not expecting that.

And titlecard at the end of the episode! Neat.

End notes:

Wow aside from like two physical gags at the beginning of the episode this is incredibly distant from the tone of the first couple episodes.

I'm kind of scrambling for what else I have to say here. Hmm.

I was. incredibly uncomfortable with parts of this episode but uhhh it was all mostly-me things or presumably on purpose! So still overall jiving with it.

Aside from the first bit, actually, I was really surprised at how little Meryl and Wolfwood had to do this episode? With Meryl especially there was a lot of buildup, so I was expecting a bit more action from her. But I guess this episode didn't really have action, it's more trying for a grand culmination sort of thing.

Hmmm. Yeah I'm gonna leave it at that and go watch the last one haha :D

[martsonmars]

I just saw a music tag game that I'm adapting for your (and my) entertainment: (old timer voice) Back in my day (/end old timer voice) we used to have these tag games on Facebook where you'd put your iPod on shuffle and use the song titles to answer a series of personal questions. No skipping!

So! Put your Spotify Liked list or your favorite playlist or whatever on shuffle and here we go: What is your gender? How do you feel? If you could go anywhere, where would it be? Describe your best friend: If your life was a tv show, what would it be called? Favorite time of day? What do you fear? Relationship status? What is life like to you?

ooooh yes i like this version of it because i wouldn't have been able to pick an artist 🤣 (but also, thanks @shrekgogurt for the tag!)

i put on shuffle my top songs 2022 playlist, let's see what happens.

what's your gender?

Jolene by Dolly Parton. Interesting choice. It feels gender enough, especially if I think of Lil Nas X's cover and, of course, McQueen McQueen.

how do you feel?

Zero to Hero from Hercules. Well. I'm pretty much still in the “zero” phase but maybe this means there's hope 😂 (also are the Muses horny for me???)

if you could go anywhere, where would it be?

Space Man by Sam Ryder. YES PLS. I want to see the universe!!!

describe your best friend:

Bulletproof Heart by My Chemical Romance. I don't know how much this song could actually describe my best friend, but she's the one who introduced me to this song and it was relevant in some important phases of our friendship, so it's pretty fitting.

if your life was a tv show, what would it be called?

you should see me in a crown by Billie Eilish. Um yes please I deserve a crown. Maybe I'll steal Lamb's.

favourite time of the day?

Volcano Man from the Eurovision movie. The first line contains the word “night” so this is pretty accurate again 😂

what do you fear?

SNAP by Rosa Linn. “It's 4am, I can't turn my head off // wishing these memories would fade, they never do”, “get out of my heart // cause I might snap”, “and if one more person says // You should get over it // I might stop talking to people before I snap”. Well. I guess it could make sense.

relationship status?

Dancing Queen by ABBA. No comment on this one.

what is life like to you?

The Passenger by Iggy Pop. Not a bad choice tbh.

~~~

well, i had fun with this!

[atlasllm]

3, 5, 11, 17, 28 for those music asks

3.) a song outside of your usual genre

I wanna say #BrooklynBloodPop was the one other song that kickstarted my hyperpop phase; however I'm really unsure if it counts as hyperpop at all

There's just something about the catchy video game tune and semi-slutty-but-bloodthirsty lyrics that just itch that One Thing in my brain for the past 2 years

5.) a song from a lifelong favorite artist

I think the first musician I REALLY got attached to was Lady Gaga, granted this was still in 2nd grade but I'll go with her :0

That being said... ALEJANDRO.

It's so dramatic with a sense of melancholy but there's also a Reason the music video has a lotta men grinding up on each other

Absolutely amazing song and whenever I'm in a Gaga mood that's the first thing I gravitate towards

Granted, Americano has been on my Repeats lately lmao

11.) a song from an international artist

I'm like half a weeb so I'm gonna mention my half a weeb music so I'm just gonna plug Velonica by Aqua Timez bc that was a repeat-for-months-on-end song bc I love those anime opening rock tunes lmao

17.) a song that reminds you of a good time

Bulletproof Heart by My Chemical Romance. I found it around the time I joined the Onceler fandom, and it's genuinely one of the songs that embodies Danger Days perfectly. Bulletproof Heart reminds me to not take shit from anyone, and is one of those songs that embodies what My Chem means to me. Maybe it wasn't a really good time, since I found My Chem during 2016; but Bulletproof Heart reminds me of the optimism and happiness of Swag and Rocky, who I imagined would be how the Fab Four would've acted like; laughing in the face of mass destruction and not letting that stop them

28.) a song you always skipped, but ended up loving once you listened to it

Once again, more Lady Gaga lmao

I'm much more willing to try out more of her older stuff, since I sorta just picked 5 main songs to really love back in the day and my parents would only play those

Americano is one of them, which I forget how I ended up listening to again but is definitely a bop lmao

Another one is "Bloody Mary"; honestly I skipped it back in the day because I was a filthy Catholic who thought it was Satanic (keep in mind... I was in second grade) but I ended up falling in love with it for a bit, especially since I'm sorta searching for semi-blasphemous imagery for my OCs lmao

[olderthannetfic]

I have a real stupid question/challenge for you, if you want. (you can also tell me to shoo, i won't be mad lmao)

I have a friend who insists that I'll fall in love with BTS if I give them a chance, based on the fact that I love montero and lemonade. they don't listen when I tell them that 1) just cuz I appreciate a few beautifully-crafted, pop-flavored hip-hop albums, doesn't mean that I now like pop; and 2) I have a raging hate-on for manufactured boy bands that dates back to the new kids on the block era. I'm not mad about them anymore, just can't find it in my limited attention span to engage with manufactured pop groups, even when they're quite good in every measurable way.

I've listened to the big singles and they didn't hook me. i appreciate what they're doing, but it just doesn't appeal to me. 🤷

so, I guess my question to you is, do you know any good BTS songs that might change my mind? anything bluesy or reminiscent of old-school 80s rap? any super 90s throwback tracks? idk, I'm doing my best to be open minded :|

--

BTS has a massive discography, and I dislike plenty of individual songs. I guarantee there's at least one song you'll find tolerable, though whether you'll become a BTS fan is another story.

I have little patience for New Kids, though I do like some bouncy dance music. BTS have a pretty high degree of artistic freedom, considering everything. The packaging is slick. The inside is considerably less hollow than usual. If you've been listening to their recent English-language hits... uh... they have their good points, but I really don't think those are representative of BTS overall—except insofar as they represent their intense desire to win a Grammy.

I'm not great at telling what's like what, so IDK which of their songs best fit your criteria necessarily, but I'll pick a few for you to try. As a listener, I'll think some hip hop sounds familiar, but it's only when I see other people's reviews that I understand what era it's reminding me of. (TBH, what I personally did was make a spreadsheet of everything they'd done, including random soundtrack songs and solo work and just try everything in order.)

--

I might start with the BTS rappers' solo work. Try RM's second mixtape, mono. I like listening to this as soothing background music at night.

Suga goes by Agust D as a solo artist. His song 'Agust D' is one of my favorites. The lyrics to many of their songs are quite clever too, though of course, as a non-Korean speaker, I have to rely on other people's explanation. (The basic content here is "I may be an idol, but I'm still twice the rapper you are".)

J-Hope tends to sound kind of... well... goofy. I like his voice in Baseline.

He did cover Chicken Noodle Soup, which is certainly old, but I don't actually like the original version of that song.

The Cyphers are great: Cypher Pt. 2, Cypher Pt. 3, Cypher Pt. 4.

To get a sense of their wordplay and why it's cool, check out this video where a Korean guy explains Ddaeng.

--

If you want to know who they think their influences are, they outline a bunch of them in Hip Hop Lover.

Dionysus is one of their big showstoppers that I like a lot better than, say, Permission to Dance.

Louder Than Bombs is a favorite of mine.

--

I'm not usually super into the vocalists-only songs, but maybe you'd enjoy some of them. Some people find House of Cards bluesy. Not sure how much I agree.

--

I guess a couple of their older albums are considered particularly oldschool, though maybe that's because of that ultimate scourge of old albums the skit. (Kill it with fire!) Also, I like a lot of the sound, but their fashion at the time, gaaaaah! You can see some images of the full horror on this lyric video to We Are Bulletproof Pt. 2. I like N.O a lot and Satoori Rap. That latter celebrates regional dialects, which is neat.

And one of their better-known songs and one of my personal favorites is Baepsae, an anthem of youthful discontent that makes use of a Korean saying and turns it on its head.

--

And hey, if you loathe all that, you can go listen to Tiger JK as a palate cleanser. RM features on a couple of his songs like MFBTY's Buckubucku and Timeless off of Drunken Tiger X.

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

London is in big danger now...Perseus...Bellamy & Sarah...their whole presence here was to find the Greenlight nuke that was hidden under the British parliament while the whole government is in town to blow it up, killing millions of civilians & bringing the United Kingdom to its knees in the Cold War. A project that I thought to be out since 1981, coming from the CIA, was still active despite the events surrounding it 3 years ago, a project that I & Zasha inadvertently brought out to Perseus and allowed him to try to blow up Europe with it...and now, I'm trying to get it down again...avoiding him to destroy London...

The only thing that was in me at the moment while Park was leading me to one of a car before getting in it and leave the sector rapidly with Price's quickly formed team...the only thing was just the anger of...having been mistreated, tortured by Bellamy & Sarah, my thoughts about the latter changing to be less friendly with her after the stab in the back she did to all of us. No words were coming out of my mouth as we were going away to join the British Parliament at the Palace of Westminster, Park focused on driving the car and following Price's team van in the streets of London.

She...Park wanted to know more about what happened to me down there in that cell but I stayed silent, away in my thoughts of getting Sarah, Bellamy, and anyone that's with them...what they deserve. I could see the distress in Park's eyes just by looking at her, she was worried, calmer than me despite the situation and I was understanding her on that part. She must have been deadly worried when she learned that I & Zasha got captured but now, I needed to stay focus, my eyes drifting around...

As we were driving to reach the parliament, my gaze fell on the mirror in front of me between me & Park, and by curiosity, I put the mirror in my direction to take a look at my left eye and...and just by looking at it...

"Fuck..." I muttered, discovering how much my eye was looking more like a mess and Zasha was right, my eyes weren't having the same color patterns. The right one was still blue while the left one...it became more very light blue going more into a white color, the vision of it still blurred. "Shouldn't have look at it," I thought to myself, putting my back against the seat.

"You'll be fine, Yiri," Park assured in a normal voice, her eyes staying on the road.

"I'm not sure of it," I said.

"Don't worry," She added, her voice taking a better tone, still sounding to reassure me at the moment.

"My eye is a mess, can't be sure that I don't need to worry about it," I told her, turning my head slightly to the right to look at her. "They injected me with their damn needle in the eye and they kept me awake with the product in the eye," I declared, sounding a bit angry in my voice. "Instead of letting me sleep, they put music in my ears to make sure that I suffer worse,"

"They...they did that?" She demanded.

"Yes," I whispered, my word causing her to clench her fists while having them on the steering wheel, holding it firmly.

"The same music?"

"No," I replied, having guessed that she was referring to a memory of me during our time in Verdansk. "It was different...Only You," I articulated, those two words staying in my mind and as if I could hear it in my ears.

"Only You?" She repeated.

"Can make...all this world...seem right," I started to say, remembering the song in my head before I stops myself by shaking my head. "Sorry, it's just that...I got it in my mind since...since..." I apologized but I cut myself up, the hours have passed since that happened. "A long time," I resumed.

"I'm sorry," Park whispered.

"It's not your fault...it's mine," I claimed in a clear voice, still feeling the blame for the event in the metro and that crash. "It's my fault if I got me & Zasha captured and...someone wounded...and another killed,"

"It's not..."

"No, just...don't, ain't helping," I cut her gently in her words even if she was trying to do her best to make me think of something else as I was looking outside, seeming to soon arrive at our destination. "I know that you want me to think of something else but not here," I told her straight about this. "Now, we just need to stop Sarah & Bellamy to destroy London," I muttered, my head going back into looking in front of me as Park was still looking confused about Sarah's name been mentioned despite after my revelations about it.

"Sarah Stone...I never thought that he got a sister," Park thought to herself, slightly turning her head around for a bit on her right.

"She's crazy, she's dressing in her brother's clothes for his legacy," I exclaimed, a vision of seeing her in that blue outfit with a green hood was disgusting to me. "She played everyone in here, she faked to be friends with us...just to get us in a better way,"

"I thought that she was a friend," Park remarked, me shaking my head at this.

"She played it," I repeated. "Manipulating the files to make sure that we believe that Harry was back from the dead and we bought it," I passed my hands through my face, avoiding touching my left eye at the moment. "She wants to avenge her brother by killing millions of citizens with the very thing that me...you, we swore to stop 3 years ago," I said clearly, Park turning her head with a little smile on it at me.

"We did," She grinned before she looked back at the front of her. "Here...the parliament," She pointed outside with her left hand towards the building at our right, seeing Big Ben's tower from afar. "And the government is here, looking at the security," She commented, seeing outside a lot of policemen and policewomen standing near the building.

"Price and his men are pulling over there," I said, seeing their blue van going to park itself on the right side of the road.

"We should join them, then," Park said before she decides to get the car behind the van a few meters from it.

We stopped the car right behind the van and just by looking at the palace and its surroundings from the car's inside, I was wondering how the CIA could have implemented a nuclear bomb right under the place that the British government is reuniting but that thought went away as Park was taking out from her pocket, an MI6 identification card on a necklace, putting it around her neck before we could go out of the car, going to join Price and his men near the van as some cops were coming to them.

"Excuse me but who are you?" A policeman with a bulletproof vest asked Price as we were arriving near the group. "You have some identifications?"

"We're with the SAS, sir," Price replied to him but the policeman was looking unconvinced with his colleagues behind him.

"Sure, sure, we believe you," The policeman scoffed, thinking that we were joking with him. "Get serious, let me see you all your papers," He demanded, sounding less funny of a sudden.

"Excuse me," Park finally stepped inside the group, going to face the policemen with me. "You don't think that's serious but it's bloody hell right," She affirmed, not happy that we were thought like that. "I'm with the MI6, there's a threat inside a building," She showed the policeman the palace behind him through the gates, her face getting along with her voice.

"How's that?" The policeman suddenly got his voice changed, worried, to be honest.

"A terrorist group entered the building & intend to blow up a nuclear bomb under it," I revealed directly, speaking up and going straight into the subject with the police, seeing in a second their eyes going wide at this.

"We need to enter that building and stop that threat, you have to let us in," Price declared, sounding assertive to the policeman that was looking terrified.

"Uhm...Uhm...sure, sure," He stuttered, his hand going to stretch a bit the collar of his vest. "What should we do? Alert the houses?" He suggested.

"No," I said clearly. "If the government is alerted of that threat, the terrorists could be aware of it & detonate the bomb," I suggested, knowing that it was a big risk to take if the government was aware that a nuke was beneath their feet.

"Good point," Price noted, nodding at me before he looked at Park. "If they're under the building, we should take them on two sides," He proposed.

"There's an entrance near a pier on the Thames, get your men with you to that entrance, it will surely cut them off in the case of an escape from them," Park ordered, pointing towards a direction as we start walking in a group to the portal separating us from entering the palace. "I'm going with Yirina inside the palace," She told them.

"Understood, let's go, everyone," Price agreed before he gestures to his men to follow him inside as the portal got opened by the cops, letting us enter and parting ways with Price's team.

"Uhm, miss, what should we do now?" The policeman's voice came behind us as we were directing ourselves towards the entrance of the palace.

"Alert the security about the threat but they can't alert the government," Park slightly turned around to face him, making her voice clear for him. "Stay here, we're taking care of this," She affirmed before we resumes our walk inside.

"Let's hope that we don't arrive too late," I confided to Park, taking a deep breath as we were arriving near the building, a bit of stress of going inside coming in me. "Not even changed," I commented in a low voice, looking at the state of my outfit that was filled with dirt.

"Let's hope," Park repeated in a low voice before we got in front of the door, some policeman guarding it.

It didn't take a few seconds to let the policemen open the door for us, even after Park showed them her MI6 credentials around her neck before we could step inside the building that was holding a very important reunion of the British government at the moment and it was sure that the stress was coming inside of me just to think of it and that the bomb under our feet could blow up at any moment if Sarah and her team already left the place to be doomed.

Since that Park was the one to know the place perfectly, I followed her around as my thoughts were overwhelming me during my walk behind Park...are we going to stop Sarah in time? That was the main question that came to my mind but...but...we need to stop her, we have to. She's going to nuke London for her revenge...just for her terrorist brother...just for someone...her brother...we have to stop her, everyone knows that and just by looking at Park's walk, she was thinking the same thing.

Then, after only a minute to walk through the building, we managed to arrive at a door that was leading to the underground of the building but we were surprised that the door was kept by two policemen that were very-well armed and protected than the others cops that we crossed paths with, the two looking rather...normal...

"Sorry, miss but this area is restricted to the public," One of the policemen addressed us, putting himself in front of the door as we were arriving near it.

"We're with the MI6, we need to get down, there's a security threat," Park announced, showing off her card to them.

"Sorry, but we can't let you here, it's a private zone," The other policeman in front of me said to her as I was getting suspicious of these guys, now looking different...and not British. "Besides, we got nothing of that sort from a security threat," He explained.

"Hey guys, the bomb is going to be on soon, you should get out," Suddenly, a voice over the radio that was belonging to the guy in front of me went on, a feeling of confusion taking over the two 'cops'...those guys were posing as cops...

"Cops...just fuckers..." I taunted them before I start to give the guy in front of me the first move by hitting him right in the teeth.

Park immediately reacted by also throwing a punch to the other guy face, launching ourselves to take care of these two 'cops' and thankfully, those two weren't in fact a big deal to neutralize, taking only at least 10 seconds to get them out and putting them on the ground before we decide to check them in quickly, seeing that they were Perseus agents undercover...that operation must have been prepared for days...and it's only the beginning for the moment...

"And now?" I demanded to Park after I got up from the guy I was checking.

"Now, it's time to get down but..." She started as her eyes were looking at the two 'cops' on the ground, and then, looking around. "We can't take the risk to let those two escape, there's no cop in here," She said as we were in a part of the building that wasn't having a lot of cops around.

"Meaning?" I narrowed my right eye at her.

"One of us goes down while...while the other stays here to get the two under control before the security gets them," She explained, chuckling for a bit as she put her hands on her pistol. "You stay here," She ordered, cocking her pistol.

"No," I stopped her, shaking my head at her. "I'm the one going down," I volunteered, getting in front of Park to stop her from going down and passing that door.

"Yiri, no...you...you're not..." Park tried to defend herself but I shook my head at this.

"Maybe that I can see with half of my vision, maybe that I should be healed but no...I'm going down," I claimed, taking out my M1911 from my jacket.

"I don't want to lose you," Park whispered in a low voice.

"Me too," I assured her with the same tone, checking up the mag of my M1911, 5 bullets remaining in it. "That's why I'm the one taking the risks,"

"You don't have to do that," Park asserted, putting her hands over my right shoulder to make me change my mind.

"It's my fault that Perseus is going to use Greenlight and..." I snorted, putting the mag back into the gun to load it, moving to face the door and open it. "I'm going," I announced before I start to walk away, not feeling Park's hand on my shoulder as she was seeming helpless to stop me to do what I needed to do.

The stairs that I was using to reach the underground was pretty old, looking like it was never fully maintained to a good shape and it's with cautiousness that I start to go down the stairs, taking care to not miss any steps and going slow in my moves, thinking that at any moments, I could be surprised by a Perseus agent right now and it made me keep my M1911 pointed right in front of me, a look of determination coming on my face.

Once that I reach the underground level, it was at this moment that I needed to be careful, extremely careful since that I can only see right with one eye and...no, it was too late to back down, Sarah needed to stop to detonate that nuke and destroying London. I started to walk in the only direction that was getting offered by me to take, staying aware of any noises that could come around me: the sounds of water flowing through some pipes, a little buzzing getting heard from afar...I stayed careful.

But the more I was advancing, the more the underground wasn't looking old enough, seeing some spotlight and crates around...getting soon accompanied by some noises that were certainly people speaking and it caused me to be silent in my footsteps as I was getting closer to those talks, and then, I put myself behind a crate, arriving near a big room looking like some sewers with in the middle of it...the bomb...and Sarah...only her...in the same clothes as her brother...

"How much time?" There was also a hooded soldier near her, standing up as she was sitting, doing something with the bomb.

"Not so long, we'll be away when it will explode," She replied in a sort of reassuring voice.

"Good to know," The hooded soldier affirmed, passing his hand through his face as Sarah got up but then, some clouds noises came from another hallway at their right. "What's that?" He asked.

"Must be the SAS, good," Sarah presumed as I was thinking the same thing, maybe that Price and his men had to fight to get here. "More useless people to die tonight," She remarked, and that...I don't know why but it provoked something that I couldn't control...rage...causing me to go out of cover, pointing my gun at the two.

"Not in my watch," I spoke up clearly to the two, taking the risk to do this like that.

"What the fuck?" The soldier cursed as he turns around, seeing me arrive in the middle of the room.

"Don't try anything," I ordered, staying at a safe distance from them and keeping the two under my control. "Hands up," I gestured with my M1911 up, seeing that the soldier complied first as Sarah was looking unimpressed.

"Grigoriev..." She smirked at my sight. "A pleasure to see you here, came to admire the show?"  She questioned, not ready to get her hands up at my command

"I'm here to stop you," I affirmed.

"Not sure that it will happen," She told me, staying stubborn and not complying as she got next to the soldier, his hands staying up. "I see...weak," She muttered by looking at the soldier before of a sudden, she got a blade out of her left sleeve...and start to stab to the neck, the soldier.

I could see that she was emotionless to the man that she was stabbing now, not stopping in her move as I was looking terrified at the scene I was watching in front of me...Sarah...literally stabbing one of her own men in front of me and continuing even if the guy was dead, making his blood flow like a fountain as she put him down on the ground before her eyes went to look at me, her face filled with the blood of the soldier.

"You're crazy," I said, lowering my gun at seeing her like that, a pool of blood forming on the ground.

"You don't know me well, Grigoriev," She stated, smirking at me with the blood on her face, passing her right hand on it. "Harry wasn't showing his full potential to the cause, I did what he couldn't do,"

"By destroying London?" I presumed.

"He was a bad man but never, he wanted to burn that city down to the ground," She told me, checking her hands full of blood. "Now, this city will burn...by me...Sarah Stone!"  She claimed loudly to me, getting her head up to form a disturbing smile with her lips.

"No, not with me," I admitted, my hands letting my M1911 go off on the ground.

"The pathetic little lost girl with one fewer eye...against me...in a fistfight?" She lamented my choices before breaking a laugh about this. "Going to be a pleasure to break each of your bones before I let you die here with that bomb,"

"I maybe got one eye but..." I started before I clench my fists, ready to stop her from doing her plans. "But I'll kill you,"

"Let's see that!" She said in a clear voice before we both starts to move in each other direction to get it done.

She was the first one to try a punch at me, throwing her right hand at me at full speed but I managed to avoid it at the last moment by moving myself back behind before she starts to get serious to put me down for good, causing me to stay on the defense for the moment by trying to block at my best the punches and kicks that she was giving me, either succeeding or failing to do so, slowly getting the advantage over me as I found myself blocked with my back against the wall behind me.

The blocks that I was doing to counter her wasn't working anymore as she started to get dirty on me, punching me faster and making me impossible to counter everything from her and hitting me in the chest and my left knee but by chance, I took a moment that she was taking a breath to get away from the wall, avoiding a punch directed to my face and causing her to hit the brick wall with her fist.

"Fuck, you bitch!" She shouted, holding her right wrist with her left hand before she turns her head around to look at me with rage. "You're hard to kill but not impossible," She commented, me catching my breath and trying to keep an eye on her.

"You messed up with me, you're deserving it," I taunted her, what she did to me was enough to make me reach my limit.

"Says the bitch who worked with my stupid brother for years," She exclaimed before she starts to turn around me in a circle at my left, she was trying to get out of my sight. "Man is so manipulative, remember?" She demanded in a normal voice as she was walking on her side faster to get away from me.

"What do you mean?" I asked her, confused as I was trying to keep her insight. "You...you manipulated your own..." I couldn't finish that I received a kick behind my right knee, causing me to fall for a bit on the ground.

"Yes," She replied behind me directly without having finished my question. "He wasn't...very sure...before her little sister came to see him straight," She commented, moving in front of me as I was trying to get up. "Helped him to kill some...useless people...including...a brother from...someone," She smirked at me as I start to think about...Park's brother, William.

"You didn't..." I tried to say before she put me down again on my knees, her hands over my shoulders.

"Oh yes, I did," She told me with a smile before she got at my level. "Made him believe that her pathetic brother hated him, made him murder people...bang, bang, boom," She mimicked before breaking out a laugh from her mouth. "So easy to break, Harry's mind was so easy to break," She taunted as I realizes with her words that... for a long time, she was the one who orchestrated William's death...and put the blame on Harry. "Since that, he thought that he was the boss...until you kill him and got me to get into his boots to make his legacy live,"

"No, you created a monster...and I'll kill you!" I then got myself into a rage and managing to get her hands off my shoulder before I decide to throw myself on her, right into her chest and getting her on the ground, and finding myself on top of her. "That's for Peter...for me...for Park...for everyone you killed!" I shouted loudly, at each punch I was giving to her face, mixing her blood with the soldier's one on her face.

I was giving all of my strength inside of these punches, doing all of my best to make sure that she wasn't going to get out of here alive before she got some nerves to hit me in the chest, stopping me to give her more pain than she deserves before moving her feet to kick me & push me away from her far behind her, making me land at a few meters from her, and then...I saw my M1911 near me...and...I had no choice to take it...

"AAAHH!" Sarah screamed, going to charge me over before I took the M1911 in my hands, and then, I pulled off the trigger, shooting two bullets at her, hitting right in the chest and in the right shoulder. The bullets caused her to stop in her run to look at the bullet holes in her body before falling on her knees as I got up from the ground, gun in my hand.

"That's for everyone," I muttered as I looked at her with desperation.

"You weren't pathetic after all," She said, still sounding stubborn. "Just...stupid...and lost," She proclaimed as I hold my M1911 by the cannon of it. "If not dying by that not-working nuke, the numbers will," She exclaimed before she spits some blood on my clothes, giving me nothing but disgust towards her.

"Just...fucking...die," I declared before I took a deep breath, and then, I decided to hold her by her hair to expose her throat before using my M1911 to throat chop her with a strength more powerful than my punches from before.

The strike made her cough out some blood from her mouth, trying to speak to me but it was mostly inaudible sounds coming out of her mouth as her eyes went wide at looking at me before she shut them down and I let her down, throwing her on the ground...it's like the...first time that...I'm using...to be violent like this to kill someone...I never did this but now...I felt...bad for doing this but also...I don't know, Sarah was a monster, she deserved a worse death but...why I'm violent...I'm not the monster that Perseus tried to create.

My eyes then went on the bomb that she was working on, leaving her to die painfully on the ground to take a look at the bomb that was in fact, not even armed...not working at all and a smile came on my face about it, seeming a bit happy before I start to fall on my knee, some tears coming out of my eyes, and then, falling on the ground on my back, completely exhausted by this day...seeing now only the light above the ceiling...as I could hear some people approaching...

It's with a smile that I closed my eyes, thinking about my friends...about my love...

A guide to BTS's ARMY.

gif originally posted by SPJM

If you heard some lines like, "Dy-na-na-na, na-na, na-na-na, na-na, life is dynamite!" You become curious who's the singer of the song, you heard that this K-Pop boy band has already debuted in Hollywood too. This is how your curiosity killed the cat, you searched the famous boy band, BTS.

As your researching is getting longer, you got to know your oppas and finally became an ARMY — Adorable Representative M.C for Youth. Now that you're new to fandom, you also need to know these etiquettes so your maturity will be well-trained as well as getting to know the members of BTS, where it is composed of seven, lucky members. Namely — RM (Rap Monster), Jin, SUGA, j-hope, Jimin, V, and last but not the least, Jungkook.

Be yourself — during Love Yourself era, the songs and concepts are all about loving yourself. Wherein a person had failed to love another person (breakup) has to learn to love itself again. It's the same if you're new to fandom, you don't need to pretend like you're an old fan of BTS, love yourself as a new fan. There's nothing wrong on being new into the fandom! Just love yourself and be who you are.

Make BTS as your inspiration — many people say, "K-Pop is a distraction to your studies". Well, you can't say NO or YES because that depends on how we deal with it. Make BTS as your inspiration, especially to your studies! For example, you need to study hard and sincere to meet them in real life.

FUN FACT! Did you know that I (admin) gained many medals, ribbons and certificates ever since I stanned BTS (BLACKPINK and EXO)? Although, I'm really the type of student who receives an academic award every year, but BTS (BLACKPINK and EXO) even made me worked harder. I even ranked 5th over hundreds of students when I was in sixth grade.

Stream and Vote! — streaming their music videos on YouTube is an enormous amount of help, especially if you stream them for many times. Also, if you have Spotify or SoundCloud, listen to their high quality music. It'll help BTS (and your favorite artists) to gain awards and be closer to success! Also, vote from these famous award shows like Golden Disc Awards (GDA), Korean Grammys, Mnet Asian Music Awards (MAMA), Melon Music Awards (MMA), and many more.

Be a friendly fan — the fandom is getting toxic as it gets more popularity. Being matured enough person will avoid fanwars, where there would be a toxic fight from different fandoms. If we'll be friendly, it'll be a happy thing for our idols. That would make them proud of us, so please stop doing bad things that can cause ugly image to our boys. It's not what you think that they'll be happy at what you are doing, especially if it's obviously wrong.

What if this fan from another fandom (either not) is attacking my idols? Why I can't be mad of it, huh?! Who are they to make shit out of my idols? — Calm down. Not people are perfect though. There's nothing good or evil people in this world, it's just that the situation makes us look bad, and that made it imperfect and have flaws. If this another fan from another fandom or also an ARMY, you can't declare a WWIII (World War 3). If this person disrespected your opinion, then block or mute it. Don't fight with anyone, especially you don't know who that person is. Just respect its own opinion even it's not your taste. We have our own standards and neither you and I can control them. Talk with them calmly and say that you respect their opinion, also tell them that they need to respect you too. Unfortunately, if the person you're talking is close-minded, I'm afraid that you should end the conversation and let it go instead. If you need more questions regarding to this topic, kindly PM me!

Respect each other's OTP's — One True Pairing(s) or also known as OTP. This is where we ship idols either in a friendly (bromance or girl-romance) way or romantic (true love) way. There's nothing wrong on shipping, but always remember that each of us has limitations when it's come to the idol's privacy. We need to respect their personal lives. Trust them only. I advice you to not trust Dispatch, K-medias, international medias, etc. JUST TRUST YOUR IDOLS. And back to shipping, don't compare your OTP to other's OTP, especially if that's not their taste. Let's just respect each other's OTP's and our idol's privacy.

Listen to BTS's music — the best etiquette, to be honest. Whatever you feel, whether you're happy or not, listen to Bangtan's music. Love Yourself, Map of The Soul: Persona, Map of The Soul: 7 and BE are not the only choices you can have, but you have many more than you imagined! Plus, you can listen to other solo mixtapes of the members.

So, that's all for today's blog! I hope these etiquettes will help you. I'll post more blogs about BTS, especially about their song meanings/theories and my fangirl experiences as an ARMY (maybe I'll mix my BLINK and EXO-L blood? Any BLINKs and EXO-Ls there?).

BTS song of the day: Not Today — I would like to recommend this song! If you feel giving up and you wanna throw yourself away as if you're just a useless rock, then play this song because it's NOT TODAY! We'll just survive no matter how the circle kept on rolling, we have our ups and downs. Also, the melody of this song feels like you're going on a war, like a bulletproof boy/girl scout.

In the first verse that sung by RM, "A day may come when we lose. But it is not today. Today we fight." So what are you waiting for? "Aim your gun. Ready! Fire!" (Chong. Jojun! Balsa!/총. 조준! 발사!)

Like and Reblog to share this to your K-Pop friends!

Yet another song I found and loved is Armor by Landon Austin

I'm not bullet proof when it comes to you. Don't know what to say when you made me the enemy. After the war is won There's always the next one. I'm not bullet proof when it comes to you

So this part made me imagine the part of the story when Reader is mad at Five for keeping secrets and being flakey. Cuz Five literally isn't bulletproof when it comes to the Reader. She has the most power over him and that's why he doesn't know whether or not to confess at first because he's still busy with the war (the apocalypse) and it seems there's a never ending list of problems like the commission as well. And also after the apocalypse is solved, they immediately fall into a second one by going back in time (altho of course they don't know it at the time). But no matter the problems, Five is softest when it comes to the reader and her hurt causes him the most pain hence the repeated line about not being bulletproof.

Maybe I'll crash into you. Maybe we would open these wounds. We're only alive if we bruise. So I lay down this armor. I will surrender tonight Before we both lose this fight Take my defenses All my defenses

I lay down this armor...

I like these lyrics cuz Five and Reader literally met through a crash. He blinked in front of her and they crashed into each other. So it's like a recollection of that. And the lyrics about opening their wounds being about finally revealing their secrets and feelings. They know they only have a little time and it's ok if it's still painful cuz they're both together and alive. Five decides to surrender his feelings to Reader because they're not sure if they'll make it out of the fight to save the world alive. He gives up his defenses and lowers his armor and expresses his love for her.

I do what it takes to make this right. But we got to stop before the regret. After the war is won There's always the next one. I'll do what it takes to make this right

Pretty self explanatory. Five is on a mission to make the world right and make it up to the reader. He doesn't want to have regrets because he obviously has a lot and that makes him ignore the reader a little cuz he can't see her die again. Then the lyric about winning the war but there being a next one makes me think of S2 and the apocalypse threat again but Five determined to do anything to make it right again. (this poor Boi tho. Can't catch a break)

I'll be you escape. I'll be your safe place. I'll be your shelter, Your shelter, yeah.

And this is obviously the Reader, promising Five that he doesn't have to do everything alone. He doesn't have to save the world alone. It can also be Five promising the reader that no matter how many times he messes up, he will do his best to be her safe place and shelter her even if he makes mistakes.

Anyway, as you can tell, I'm finding new music and any songs I connect to Five and Reader I'm impulsively sending your way xD hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

Awesome song! I also have some ideas about lines too. It’s really long though so I put it below the cut.

I'm not bullet proof when it comes to you. 

Don't know what to say when you made me the enemy. 

After the war is won There's always the next one. I'm not bullet proof when it comes to you

This first line could be from the reader’s perspective too in the fact that Five is the closest to her heart so when he is flaky and isn’t being open about things it feels like a shot to the heart that he’s not being as close as they used to be. Hence she’s not bulletproof when it comes to him (and the fact that he’s being distant)

The second line could also be Five’s feelings at himself. He’s his own worst enemy because he keeps getting down on himself for hurting the reader and for all the years he was gone knowing that she just wondered if he was still mad at her. As much as the reader loves and forgives him he still at war with himself for the trauma he has caused.

The second war can reference the two apocalypses but also now heading into season 2 of the story the second time Five has pulled the reader through time. And the second bulletproof line can relate to the reader’s feelings of losing her best friend (and everyone she knows for that matter) a second time because Five had to jump them all through time. She’s not immune to the pain of having to lose him again.

Maybe I'll crash into you. 

Maybe we would open these wounds. We're only alive if we bruise. 

So I lay down this armor. I will surrender tonight Before we both lose this fight Take my defenses All my defenses. I lay down this armor

I agree with what you had said about the first line because they did literally crash into each other. Building off that recollection though I’d say that the next three lines can be related to the fact that when they met they opened up about things they could never open up tp about others. The reader confided in Five about her powers, it was something that made her feel different from her peers no matter how perfect her life was but now she had someone to share it with. Someone who would understand her struggles (wounds) and how they affect her (bruises). The same goes for Five as he opened up to her about what it was like to live with his family and under his dad’s oppressive rule.

With them both being so open with each other they laid down their armor and defenses so they could grow close to the other.

I'll be you escape. I'll be your safe place. I'll be your shelter, Your shelter, yeah.

I think this could also be Five to the reader. He’s trying to protect her from the apocalypse and the dangers that the world could face. He also wants to make it up to her for abandoning her accidentally and having her think he was mad at her for years. He wants to be the one to take her fears away and make her safe hence he wants to be her escape, safe place and shelter.

Hope you like the ideas I added! ❤️

You jumped up at the knock on your door, rushing to open it. In front of you stood your best friend, smiley as ever.

"Ready to go, love?"

"Just about. Did you already fuel up?"

"Yep, and I loaded up on snacks and drinks."

"Awesome! Lemme grab my bags, and I'll be out in a second."

You and Hoseok had been planning this road trip for years. It was your last summer before college, and you were going to spend it on the road, seeing all the sights you had dreamed about.

You disappeared into your bedroom to grab your backpack and suitcase before trekking back out into the living room. Hoseok had made his way to the couch, where he sat lazily scrolling through his phone. It was times like this that reminded you of how much you loved him, and not in a platonic way. It had been years since you finally let yourself admit you had fallen for your best friend.

He looked up when he noticed your present. A grin stretched across his face when he saw the immense amount of luggage you were carrying.

"Did you throw the kitchen sink in, too?" he teased.

"You know I'm not good at packing."

He rolled his eyes.

'Uh-huh, sure."

You made a quick sweep of the house before following him outside. His old yellow Cadillac was parked next to the sidewalk. He had the trunk popped open, rearranging items to make room for your luggage.

"I can't believe we're finally doing this." You grinned as hoisted your suitcase into the back.

Hoseok beamed back at you.

"I know. Just the two of us for weeks on end with nothing but the road before us. It's gonna be great."

An hour later, you were cruising down the highway heading west. Loud, upbeat music serenaded you as the city slipped away into the countryside. Pure euphoria coursed through your veins as the wind blew through your hair. You glanced over at Hoseok, elated to see his smile as he wrapped along to the track. God, sometimes you hated how much you loved him.

The sun was just below the horizon when you pulled into a motel for the evening. You were somewhere between cities, and it was nice to relax to the sound of frogs and crickets instead of the hum of urban life. Ever the gentlemen, Hoseok dragged all your luggage into the room, while you scrounged for a decent local restaurant to order take out from.

Your evening was quiet. The two of you past the time playing the few games you had brought and eating the crappy Chinese food you had bought. When you were finally laying in your respective beds for the night, you felt a bittersweet feeling creep in. You hated thinking about the end of summer when your adventure would come to a close. In the fall, you would be heading off to college in New York, while Hoseok would stay behind to open up a dance studio with your mutual friend, Jimin. But it was too quiet for you to not succumb to the thoughts, so you fell asleep with soft tears in your eyes.

The morning came fast, and you found yourself once again, the passenger seat. The day passed lackadaisically, filled with all the car games from your childhood and the occasional nap. When the evening came again, you pulled into a campground somewhere in the middle of the desert.

While the day had been blazing hot, the setting sun took the warmth with it. After changing into warmer clothing, you pitched the tent while Hoseok attempted to start a fire.

"Fuck!"

The tent had collapsed on you again.

"Hoseok...," you whined, "can we just sleep under the stars? This tent hates me."

He chuckled at your pout, "Sure thing, but if it rains, I'm using your clothes as a towel."

After successfully roasting hotdogs, you found yourself curled up next to your best friend, looking up at the night sky. Hoseok was pointing up at constellations explaining the myths behind them, the sound of his voice lulling you into a peaceful sense of security. You turned your eyes away from the stars to focus on the contour of his face. The way his nose sloped and how his lips moved to form words.

"I love you."

He paused for a second, glanced at you, and then back up at the sky.

"I love you too."

"Not like that, dummy."

Somewhere in your mind, a voice was screaming that what you were saying was stupid, and you would regret it, but you were too blissed out and tired to care.

"Then, like what?"

He was facing you again.

"Like you're my entire universe, and no one will ever compare to you. Like I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Like I love you so much that I'll never have room to properly love anyone else."

The words were falling from your mouth without filter, but you couldn't seem to find it in yourself to stop.

"And I love you too."

It took a moment for the words meaning to register in your dazed mind. When they did, you found yourself staring at him blankly, your mind trying to figure out what to do next. You barely registered Hoseok's eyes flicking to lips, and before you realized what you were doing, you had softly placed your lips on his.

He responded almost instantly, lips moving with yours. You had always hated cliches, but you swore you felt fireworks going off in your mind. You had waited nearly ten years for this moment, and it was just as perfect as all the times you had daydreamed about it.

When he finally pulled away from, you had matching grins. His eyes seemed alight with a joy you had never seen in him.

"I can't believe I've waited my entire life to do that."

His voice was as soft as lips.

"It's better now than never."

"That's true,” he paused, “I’ve been meaning to tell you something.”

“Hmm?”

“I’m coming with you.”

“What?”

“To New York. I’m coming with you.”

You felt your heart pound in your chest, eyes tearing up with relief.

“You’re kidding.”

“I’m not. I convinced Jimin to go with us and we found a studio space in the city that’s just perfect. I’m coming with you.”

You were full-on crying as you kissed his lips. You had never been so happy in your life.

“I love you so much, Jung Hoseok.”

“And I love you.”

For a moment, the universe was perfect.

97 Line Group Chat

Jungkook was trying not to let his nerves get the better of him. Coming back from tour he finally had some downtime and was looking forward to going to the club. It wasn't just spending time with friends he didn't see very often, it was getting to see you again.

97 Line Group Chat:

Bam Bam: We'll be pre-gaming at my place and then heading to the club. I'm bringing YuGyeom, Jackson and his girlfriend and her friend Y/N so Jungkook you'd better be prepared.

Jungkook: You're sure she's coming? I haven't seen her in months. Do you think she remembers me?

Mingyu: I know she doesn't like me, I tried hitting on her 2 weeks ago and she shot me down. Good luck my friend.

Bam Bam: Jackson says she asks about you all the time. Pretty sure she has a crush on you JK.

Jungkook: Ahhh, I'm so nervous. You all better be good wing men tonight.

YuGyeom: I'll make sure she has a few extra drinks before we go.

Mingyu: So 11pm?

Bam Bam: Yep

JK: Let's Get it

Private Text

Jungkook: Please make sure YuGyeom doesn't get her drunk, I like this girl...a lot.

Bam Bam: I'll watch him.

It was about 10:30 and the meal had just arrived. Jimin ate fast but Taehyung liked to take his time. Jungkook sat impatiently knowing it would take at least 20 minutes to get to the club. What if someone else caught your eye? What if you got too drunk? Jimin couldn't stop laughing, "JK, how could she not like you? Just relax." Taehyung added, "I'm not leaving food on my plate so you'll just have to wait." Taking that as a challenge Jungkook reached over and grabbed a handful of his fries shoving them in his mouth. "I hope your happy, now we're late and I have gross breath"

Breathing deeply he got out of the cab, he'd thought about this night for weeks. Did he look okay? Was his cologne too much? Did it even matter, you probably didn't even like him. The door opened and he could feel the pulsing bass through his body, the lights and fog were immediately disorienting. Was everyone here or did he have to wait longer to see you? Walking to the bar the three of them ordered  drinks and started to look around for the rest of the group.

We are bulletproof began playing and the dance floor went crazy. Jungkook felt a surge of pride that everyone was feeling it, he hoped you were here to see. Eyes skimming over the crowd and there you were. Right at the front dancing, you spotted him too. Pointing directly at him and coming closer you sang in time "The name is Jung Kook, my scale is nationwide" He couldn't help but laugh as you approached singing his lines to him. God he wanted to kiss you. You kept singing and dancing in front of him until the song was over.

"Hello Jungkook" came from your lips and you smiled. "I was hoping I'd see you tonight it's been too long." Should he? He put his arm around you in a makeshift hug and said "I'm really glad you're here." YuGyeom appeared slipping in between you handing you both a shot, 'To friendship", he toasted. Your glasses clicked in cheers and the shots were downed quickly. 'Let's VIP room" Bam Bam called out. Concerned, Jungkook asked "Are you coming Y/N?" Not answering right away and looking around the room you answered "I don't know where Jackson and Y/F/N are, I'll come after I find them." Shit did he just blow it? "Ok, I guess I'll see you in a bit" Walking in seperate directions Jungkook felt his heart drop, he was sure you didn't see him as more than a friend.

Monitoring the time it was a least 45 mins later when you appeared in the VIP with YuGyeom. Stopping at the bar you were both laughing and did another shot. What an asshole Jungkook thought. You perused the room until you saw him sitting there frowning. When your eyes locked he managed a smile but what little confidence he'd walked in with was gone. The waitress followed behind you with several shot glasses and bottles to meet everyone else at the table. "Shots for everyone" YuGyeom called out. Everyone grabbed one and cheered each other except Jungkook. Feeling tipsy you decided to leverage your liquid courage and take the lead. "Come dance with me Kookie" off to the side YuGyeom made drinking motions and a thumbs up towards Jungkook. Following you to the floor Jungkook was hesitant, wanting nothing more than to be pressed against you but not wanting to take advantage of your state. "Don't be afraid to touch me Guk, this is just dancing we don't need formalities." It was now or never, if he didn't make a move he'd end up on tour again masturbating to thoughts of how he'd feel inside you. Wrapping his arms around your waist he pulled you in until your bodies were pressed together, face to face he stared into your eyes. "You know I like you right?" he whispered. "I do", you grinned, "Do you know how badly I want you Jungkook" He started blushing, "I guess I do now". You began moving with the music, hands exploring each other, trying to make up for lost time. Turning your back to him you pressed your ass into his crotch. Moving up and down grinding into him you could feel his bulge growing. Closing his eyes he imagined you doing this in bed, he couldn't control his erection. He didn't want to embarrass you so he subtly tucked himself into his waistband. Turning to face him, your hand travelled to his bulge, moving over the fabric of his jeans and up under his shirt your fingertips traced his abs. Dragging your fingers lower you felt the tip of his cock sticking out his pants. It was so smooth and hard you just wanted it in you. His mouth came crashing down on yours like he couldn't wait a second longer. His fingers were in your hair, your head was back and your tongues met in a soft sensual dance. It felt so good to finally break the anticipation but the taste of liquor was distracting. How much have you had to drink, was this taking advantage of the situation? "Jungkook, I'd like to leave with you if that's ok?" You propositioned. He nodded in agreeance, "I'll be back in a minute" you said "I'm going to let Y/F/N know I'm leaving." The minute you walked away YuGyeom approached Jungkook "You can thank me later, she's had at least 10 shots and you can probably do whatever you want with her tonight" Shit, there was no way taking you home was the right thing to do. Disappointed and upset Jungkook went outside to clear his head. He'd waited so long for this night and you'd only kissed him because you were drunk. Maybe he should just leave. Sitting alone on the steps outside of the club Jungkook was internally wrestling with his wants and his morals.

You looked around the club and couldn't find Jungkook anywhere. Fuck, maybe you'd been too forward with him. You knew Jungkook was a gentleman and now you were cursing yourself for coming on to him so strongly. You'd already told everyone you were leaving so you might as well just head home. It had been weeks of anticipation for tonight, you were finally going to make your move and now it was ruined. How did you even fool yourself into thinking that Jeon Jungkook could be interested in you.

Opening the door into the cool night you found him sitting there by himself. "Hey Kook, I'm sorry if I scared you off." You sat down beside him, 'I've just been fantasizing how this night would play out for a  long time and I got carried away." He looked at you and reached for your hand "Do you really like me? I'm worried that the alcohol is maybe making you...want me more than you think you do." You couldn't help but laugh out loud "Jungkook I think I can handle my liquor a little, I'm no lightweight" furrowing his brows he questioned you "YuGyeom said he was giving you shots all night?" You rolled your eyes "YuGyeom is a dick, he told me he liked me and kept trying to hit on me a while ago. I gave away all the drinks he bought me because I figured he was trying to get me into bed." His thumb rubbed the back of your hand, "So you're not really drunk?" You leaned in and kissed his cheek "Jungkook I've had my sights set on you for months, I didn't want anything to ruin tonight. This has all been planned since I knew you'd be coming tonight.. right down to my sexy lingerie."

That was all he needed, his lips found yours again and you were immediately lost in each others lust. The Uber pulled up and honked, startling you when you failed to notice its arrival. "Who's place is closer?" you asked. "Too many people at my place," he moaned "I don't want to have to be quiet, can we go to yours?" Just the suggestion of loud sex had you soaked through your new purple lace panties.

Pulling up to your complex Jungkook led you out of the car and up to the door. Digging through your purse you couldn't find the keys, growing impatient he latched on to your neck and dragged long deep suctioned kisses over your collarbones. "You're distracting me Kook, fuck we need to get inside!" He stopped with a giggle and helped look. Finally locating them you made it into your apartment and clothes immediately began coming off. "Bedroom?" He asked. "That way" you pointed to the only room up the hall. Picking you up he carried you to your room. Setting you back on your feet he halted the make out session. He cupped your chin and tilted your head up to look at him. "I need you to know how much I like you. I've thought about you for months, imagining being with you kept me going when I was lonely on tour." He slowly took off the dress you were wearing and revealed the lingerie you'd bought just for his eyes. "Fuck," he said out loud "so much better than my fantasies" blushing your eyes took in his bulging cock. His black Calvin Kleins were straining to contain his erection.

"Kookie, do you know how many of your damn VLives I've watched just so I could see you?"  He ran his hand up your arms and reaching around unclasped your bra. Tangling his hand in your hair he kissed you, hard. He moved his lips inch by inch lower and lower stopping at your breasts, kneading and sucking until you were moaning under his ministrations. Lower again over your stomach, down your abdomen until he got to your clit. He sucked deliberately light enough to tease you coaxing the juices from your already wet entrance. Softly pushing into you with his tongue he moaned "you taste so good, you're so beautiful" Your legs shook, struggling to stay on your feet while your body felt like it was floating. You held tight onto his shoulders as he spread your folds and twisted his finger inside you. "Maybe you should lay down" he guided you backwards to the bed, laying you down so your knees were bent over the edge. "Do you want to cum like this? Should I keep going?" You could barely find your voice but managed to let out a whispered "please keep going" he moved back in, two curled fingers dragging against your soft spot and his tongue flicked your clit relentlessly. It only took a minute to have you hyperventilating while you repeated his name cumming on his face.

He gave you a moment just to be still and catch your breath as he placed small kisses on the insides of your thighs. "Are you ok?" He asked "I'm sooo much better than ok" you answered. He got up from his knees and you sat up, face to face with his six pack. You slowly sucked red marks onto his abs and hooked you fingers into his underwear. Slowly you pulled them down exposing bit by bit and lowering your mouth with them until you'd taken him all in. You could hear him slowly relesse his breath as you slid back up to the tip. Popping him out of your mouth you looked up his face "I can't believe you're real Jungkook, you are so incredibly perfect" He reached down hand on your cheek and smiled. You put him back in your mouth and began sucking him until he was hitting the back of your throat. His hand slid from your cheek to the back of your head where he grabbed your hair and pulled slightly. When you moaned out at the tension he grabbed at it harder angeling you to make it easier for him to thrust into you. His hips picked up speed and he was about to cum when he stopped completely. He held your head still with his cock sitting in the back of your throat cutting off your air for a minute. "Don't move, please don't move, I don't want to cum yet" when he was under control he pulled himself away from you. "I want you so badly you can't even know, I just want to fuck you so hard and fill you up until you're screaming my name but I'm not going to do that." Confused you moved up the bed to lean on the pillows . Crawling up to lay beside you, his still rock hard cock pressed into your leg he began kissing you. "I only have one chance to be with you for the first time and I want to make love to you. He kissed you for what felt like an eternity, until you both had that feeling of seeing stars in the black void of a blissed out mind. He moved on top of you until he was positioned at your entrance. Looking you in the eyes he pushed slowly while watching your face for discomfort. Finding nothing but pleasure in your reaction. He began moving himself rolling his hips into you. Neither of you could control your sounds and you found yourselves sweaty and moaning in an act of pure ecstasy. Bringing your legs up around him his cock hit you over and over rubbing your g spot while his pubic bone rubbed over your clit with each stroke. Picking up his speed he was finally reaching his high. "Can I cum in you Y/N" nodding while you pulled his hair you came for a second time "Yes,Yes, Kookie...please. You could feel the spurts of his release spill inside you as he collapsed on top of you. You held onto each other in silence trying to regain your strength when his phone started going off with notifications. He didn't move to look, but worried, you thought maybe something had happened. "Just check it already Jungkook."

So I made a playlist of my favourite songs

(ID: a screenshot of a playlist on Play Music showing the following songs:

Grace Kelly by Mika

Whistle For The Choir by The Fratellis

Drops of Jupiter by Train

Great Expectations by Elbow

The Diamond Church Street Choir by The Gaslight Anthem

Bulletproof Picasso by Train

Dreams Come True by Brandon Flowers

Live Fast Die Old by Frank Turner

End ID.)

These are songs that I can categorically say have, at some point, been my acknowledged favourite songs, since I was 12 up until last year. More or less in order. Posting it here just 'cause.

Funny things:

The first half is all longing, kind of sad songs, whereas the second half is entirely happy, joyful songs. I don't think that particularly says anything about my mental state (since I was actually pretty happy from 12-17 which is approximately when those songs were my faves) but I guess I've been more myself in the 18-23 range.

Two songs with the word choir in the title. I did not even realise this before now.

Two songs by Train, not because I particularly favour them over any other band, I just happened to really adore those two songs at different periods in time.

I've seen all but two (possibly three) of them live. Haven't seen Mika (I'm hoping he'll release a new album soon since he released a new song and then he'll go on tour and then I'll be able to see him since I'm caught up on all his albums now and not just Life in Cartoon Motion), have seen Frank twice but he doesn't like Live Fast Die Old much (rude, Frank) and it's a fairly old one so he plays it very infrequently. Maybe one day. The one I'm not sure about is Bulletproof Picasso - I saw Train at V Festival in 2014 and they may have played it then (cba to check on setlist fm) but I wasn't into the song then so I don't know.

Anyway these songs are all high key iconic and still slap and at least some of them would go on my desert island discs

[chiwoopsie]

hmm i'll chuck in some groups that u stan that i don't so i can learn more- bts and ateez! :)

oooh nice choices lyns 😉 

BTS - do i already stan them? yes | only for the music | attempting to | no

my bias + bias wrecker: J-hope and RM! They switched back and forth for a while and then I just decided I’m double-biased haha

first time i heard of them: I watched one of those Youtubers React to Kpop and they reacted to Dope and I was like that’s tight! Didnt stan yet tho lol

when i became a fan: When I was in college, my HS friends strongly encouraged me to check out Dope and then they started testing me on their names and then I started watching more videos and here we are :)

favorite (and least favorite) title track: Favorite is definitely I Need U and Run! HYYH era has always been my favorite <333 Least fave is their latest one, On. Just wasn’t a big fan :(

favorite (and least favorite) b-side: Hmmm it’s honestly been a long time since I’ve listened to BTS B-sides but I like their solo tracks! Seesaw, Inner Child and Awake are some of my faves. Their rapline tracks are also pretty fire! Kinda hard to remember my least favorite ones but maybe Louder than Bombs? Lost? Kinda meh for me.

favorite (and least favorite) mv: We are Bulletproof the Eternal MV is soooo cute and meaningful 😭😭 Showing their journey as a group..ugh so many feels <3 Actually their latest MVs aren’t my favorite. Dynamite had this weird green tint and On was kind of an acquired taste lmao

favorite (and least favorite) album: Love Myself Answer is supreme in my opinion. The way they organized it was 👌 It’s like a story/evolution if you listen from the start to end. And I don’t think there’s an album I absolutely dislike?? Maybe one of their earlier ones 🤔🤔

a concept i wished they’d try: Honestly..they’ve done everything so idk haha

what i like most about them: Their lyrics! I’ve always appreciated how different and real because it seems hella honest and true to their experiences and I think that’s what sets them apart from everyone

ATEEZ - do i already stan them? YES | only for the music | attempting to | no

my bias + bias wrecker: oK so i thought i sorted out my bias list but it turns out it’s still a mess lol But Yeosang and Seonghwa are lowkey my biases?? Also Hongjoong and San...kfajsdf clearly i prove my point

first time i heard of them: I think I heard about them when they debuted? some ppl on my dash were stanning and I’ve seen their content in passing but I don’t think I really checked them out until later

when i became a fan: I really liked Say My Name, which I found out about from Spotify! Then my sister started getting into them and told me to listen to Wave! I really liked it and then I started to listen to all their songs and was blown a w a y 🤯 Was also impressed by the fact they hadn’t even debuted a year yet at that point but were crazy powerful performers too

favorite (and least favorite) title track: Say My Name is still my fave!! The remix version is even better, if that’s even possible! All their title tracks are great though so no least favorites in this category :)

favorite (and least favorite) b-side: Some of my favorite b-sides are Promise, Utopia, Win, One Day at a Time, HALA HALA and Good Lil Boy <3 I’m not a big fan of their “slower” tracks like Aurora and Sunrise :(((( I know a lot of ppl love them but it’s not for me

favorite (and least favorite) mv: Wave!! I love it when they shoot on location like in Treasure too! Least favorite is Thanxx :/ If you watch it, you might get what I mean :///

favorite (and least favorite) album: Favorite album is either their debut or 2nd album! Literally listened to them on repeat all the time when I was getting into them heh I was kinda disappointed with their full album tbh but it’s still good~

a concept i wished they’d try: I want them to do a historical concept like ONEUS’ Lit or Vixx’s Shangri-la! I think they would absolutely nail it!

what i like most about them: Their performances! Their energy and charisma on stage is 💯💯💯

Send in a Kpop group and I’ll reply with..!!

bingo m.list | bingo card | m.list

It had been years since Hoseok had last stepped into your father's diner. When you had last seen him, he had been a scruffy teen laughing with his gaggle of friends. The Hoseok that sat before you was an entirely different creature. His suit alone must have cost several thousand dollars. His body had filled out, and he must have grown an inch or two.

You had heard stories about what happened to him. He and his friends were part of a street gang that had terrorized the local businesses. But never your father's diner, they never dared to touch your father's diner. Perhaps because your father had a soft spot for them, always knocking a dollar or two of the prices. After graduating high school (barely), most of the boys had moved out of town to pursue bigger and better things, Hoseok included. Together, they formed one of the largest business conglomerates in the country: Bangtan.

Bangtan had a mixed reputation. Many praised it for the incredible charity work it did, while others suspected it of having a shady background. You never minded the rumors. Who were you, a small town girl still waitressing at her father's restaurant, to judge the men who actually made something out of their lives. It didn't help that you had carried a flame for Hoseok since high school.

"Heya Hobi, what can I getcha today?"

His lips spread into a grin at the sound of his old nickname.

"Now that's a name I haven't heard for a while," he chuckled, "I'll take a burger, no tomato, and a sprite to go with it, love."

"Alrighty then."

You tucked your pencil behind your ear, before turning away to deliver the order to your dad. Before you could leave, Hoseok's hand wrapped around your wrist.

"Wha-," you swirled around.

"When do you get off?"

"Umm, eight."

"I'll pick you up then," he smirked, releasing your wrist.

You didn't question him, just turned back around before he could see you blush. You were only mildly confused as to why Hoseok wanted to spend time with you of all people. Sure, sometimes your friend groups would mix as teenagers, but he hadn't ever paid any special attention to you. You could count the number of conversations you've had together on one hand.

You tried to push your thoughts to the back of your mind while you finished your shift. Despite your efforts, you spent the rest of your workday distracted, and it was a wonder you hadn't messed up anyone's order. Hoseok didn't say a word to again, except when paying. Eight' o'clock rolled around faster than you expected, and before you knew it, you were hanging up your apron.

You hadn't brought a jacket with you, so you shivered as you stepped out into the chilly early autumn air. Lucky for you, it was only moments before Hoseok pulled up in front of the diner in a shiny silver sports car. You slipped inside without a moment's hesitation. If it were any other person, you might have questioned getting in their car after not seeing them for seven years, but this was Hoseok, and maybe you still liked him a teensy bit. A teensy, weensy bit.

Hoseok smiled at you as you made yourself comfortable in his passenger seat.

"Might I ask where you're taking me?"

"Oh, but that would ruin the surprise, wouldn't it."

You rolled your eyes.

"Well, seeing as I'm blindly trusting you with my life right now, maybe a surprise isn't called for. I'm already risking my existence being in this car with you."

"Now how's that?"

He hadn't taken his eyes off the road.

"Well, I haven't seen you in seven years, and now I'm in your car with no idea of where we are going, and you haven't said so much as hello to me. You might be taking me off to kill me for all I know."

He chuckled at that.

"Why would I kill such a pretty doll, like yourself? Besides, I thought we were friends and friends trust each other."

You raised your eyebrows.

"Friends, huh? Hoseok, I haven't heard so much as a peep out of you in all the time you've been gone. And even when you were here, I don't know if I would call us friends."

He shook his head.

"Well, I thought we were."

You spent the rest of the car ride in silence with only the low hum of his music to keep you company. You tried not to worry as you left the limits of the town and made your way into the surrounding countryside. When you pulled up to a private airport fifteen miles out of the way of civilization, you had to hide your surprise.

"Hoseok, what are we doing here?"

"We're gonna take a trip."

"Wha-? Where? For how long? Why? I can't; I have work tomorrow."

The word flooded out of your mouth as you noticed the lone private jet on the dark runway.

"I figured I had to make our first date memorable. And don't worry, I already cleared it with your father. Besides, I had to get your passport somehow."

He smiled.

"First date...wait, what?"

"Oh come on, you have to have known that I've had the biggest crush on you since the beginning of time."

You started at him blankly, disbelief flooding your brain.

"I had no idea," you whisper.

You looked across at him and had to will yourself not to shrink under the heat of his gaze.

"Yeah, well, I have. I know it's sudden and that I haven't been around, but I've been waiting because I was dealing with shit I didn't want you to get wrapped up in, 'cause you're it for me, and if something happened to you, I could never forgive myself. But now it's all good, and I really just want you. But I get it if you don't want to come with."

You shook your head.

"Oh, you idiot," you mumbled, before leaning across the armrest to place your lips on his.

He sat still for a second, before reciprocating your action. His lips were soft against yours, moving gently as though he was scared he would break you. His warm hand slipped up to cup your cheek. Happiness spread throughout your entire body as dopamine and oxytocin flooded your brain.

You felt like you had been kissing for an eternity when his arms wrapped around your waist and lifted you into his lap. His arousal was immediately apparent, and your hips ground down onto his bulge on their own accord. His tongue slipped into your mouth as arousal pooled in your panties. You were grateful that you had worn a skirt today, seeing as it was one less layer between you in him. A moan escaped you when your clit hooked on his tip.

You were sure you were ruining his pants, but you couldn't find yourself caring. It had been so long since someone had made you feel this good, and it was Hoseok no less. It only took you minutes to find your release, cum soaking through your panties and his pants. Drained of all your energy, you collapsed on top of him, heavy pants escaping both your mouths.

When you gathered enough strength, you sat up to find him looking at you with a soft gaze.

"Do you want me to hel-"

You went to reach for his zipper, but his hand caught yours, blush apparent even in the darkness.

"I-uh-I-"

You glance down at his pants to find his own stain had joined yours on his crotch.

"That's hot," you giggled.

He looked a bit relieved.

"Yeah?"

"Yeah. And I'll go with you."

His face stretched into a huge smile before he pulled you in for another kiss.

"Alright, then. Let's go."

When you woke up the next morning, you were greeted with an aerial view of Baja and the cutest man you had ever seen.
