No Chance

warnings: none

era: 2020, MAW promotion era

❀ Protective Jaehyun just knows when someone is up to no good

“Could I maybe take you out on a date?” JiHo’s quirked her brow at the sudden question. She was flipping through the photobook of the album she had just received and wasn’t quite sure if what she just heard was real. “Hmm?” She hummed questioningly, urging for the person in front of her to repeat his words.

Noticing JiHo’s expecting gaze the boy lowered his head and raised his hand to scratch the back of his neck. “I mean… It’s just that I really admire you, sunbaenim. So I wondered if maybe we could get something to eat sometime.” He stuttered through his words. “Oh! And I also think you’re very pretty…” The nervous boy added quickly.

Not once did JiHo expect a confession when a newly debuted boy group entered the dressing room of NCT U – JiHo was just visiting ‘Make A Wish’ team during their promotions – to introduce themselves and hand them their first album. Jaehyun had nudged her shoulder when he noticed the, what he called, ‘longing’ stares of some of the rookies when JiHo had complimented their outfits and cheered them on with a friendly – Jaehyun would say ‘too friendly’ – smile. The older boy had told her that even though the new group looked very tired, JiHo couldn’t just be super nice and inviting towards everyone to which JiHo retorted: “I never knew ‘You got this guys!’ was being too nice”.

Now, after hearing the new idol’s unexpected confession JiHo thought back to Jaehyun’s warning, but she still didn’t regret being nice towards the group. After all they did just debut in a pandemic and knowing they were from a very small company she wasn’t too sure about their future. She wished them the best, but the group even told her they weren’t sure if they were going to be able to perform on many other music shows. This time was their first and mayhap their last.

JiHo watched as the rookie idol shifted his weight from one foot to the other. “I’m sorry, you seem like a cool guy, but that doesn’t sound like a good idea.” A sympathetic smile proceeded to form on JiHo’s face. What JiHo didn’t expect was for the boy to try his luck once more. “Maybe if we get to know each other better? We could exchange phone numbers.”

He had already grabbled at his back pocket for his phone but when he looked back at the girl he was met with a raised hand, palm facing him. “Listen, I don’t really want to date anyone either-“ “I’m sorry, we could just get to know each other as friends. You know, I’d also like that. Just friends-“ JiHo’s earlier sympathetic smile faded as she now felt bad for the guy and also slightly put off by him.

The guy stopped talking and JiHo took it as if he finally got the hint and decided to back off. He took a step back, distancing himself from the girl – which was when JiHo noticed how close he had gotten to her – and then bowed in apology. “I’m sorry sunbae, that was completely out off line. I hope you can forgive me.” JiHo shook her head. “It’s okay, let’s just forget about it.” The boy nodded, his eyes seemed to twitch and he then excused himself out of the room.

A deep sigh left JiHo’s lips and she turned her head to her left. “You didn’t have to scare him away, I’m sure he would’ve left any second now.” JiHo explained and let herself fall on the couch, her eyes fell on the album next to her. “How did you know I was here?” Jaehyun asked confused and then joined JiHo on the couch. “That poor boy’s eyes filled with fear, I saw how his eyes were shaking.”

It was silent for a second before Jaehyun started talking. “He wasn’t going to leave by the way. He was so insistent on getting you to agree with him on, well, anything. So you should thank me.” A sarcastic chuckle left JiHo’s lips at the words. “And how would you know?” “Guys can be real creeps. You don’t know how many we have dealt with for you without you knowing. I can recognise them anywhere.”

JiHo sat up in her seat, eyes wider than Jaehyun had ever seen before as she now looked at him. “What? Why didn’t I know about this? When? Where did this happen? How many times? How-“ “Okay JiHo! Calm down first.” Jaehyun and JiHo both turn to the door where they see Taeyong walking in followed by Jaemin and Xiaojun, the other boys entering a few seconds afterwards.

“So it’s true?” Taeyong sighed and walked up to her. “Well, yeah. You’re a girl and have a lot of male fans, that stuff happens. And even though I think it would’ve been better if Jaehyun didn’t tell you about this.” He glared at the younger boy, who, rightfully so, looked a bit flustered. “You know now, but you don’t have to worry about it, the managers, the staff and if necessary, we, the boys, will make sure nothing happens to you and you won’t even know of the existents of those creeps.”

JiHo scoffed in disbelief. “Make sure nothing happens? What are you even talking about? Who’s trying to do what to me?” Jaehyun grabs JiHo by the shoulder. “Nothing. No one is doing anything to you. Just- Just trust me when I say that rookie idol is no good.” JiHo couldn’t wrap her mind around what had been said, but rather than asking more questions – she didn’t even know where to start if she did – she just accepted what her two friends said and let herself fall back on the couch.

“What’s this?” The newest Japanese member, Shotaro, held up a piece of paper he retrieved from the album he noticed placed on the couch. JiHo grabbed it and analysed what was written on it. On it she saw a phone number along with a name. “I hope we can get close in the future” Was scribbled on the other side of the paper.

Jaehyun snatched the piece of paper out of the girl’s hand when he caught sight of the poorly drawn heart on the note. He scoffed before ripping the paper apart. “If someone is going to even try dating you, he should at least be able to draw a simple heart.” JiHo watched the boy slack-jawed. Jaehyun reached his hand out, finger placed on the underside of the girl’s chin and he pushed it up to close her mouth. “And his handwriting sucks. This loser can’t actually think he even has a chance with you.”

---

Side note: I have no clue if there was a rookie group that promoted along side NCT U during MAW era, if so, that’s not the same group as the one mentioned in this writing. This group is completely made up (you might have noticed I also didn’t mention any names) and has absolutely no connection with a real kpop group. The same goes for the rookie idol, he’s completely made up and has no connection to any idol in the real world.

Dream State - 21 : small talk

“You’re already one of my best friends... it’s why I tell you things I can’t tell Joong” Wooyoung confessed. The melancholic moment made the two share a smile, Wooyoung earning another pat on the back from Yeosang.

“It’d mean a lot more if I had some real competition” were Yeosang’s last words before he manoeuvred the younger in front of San.

Dimples coming to show when San looked up about to stand and introduce himself.

Not a word said and he was cut off by Hyunjin.

Hyunjin was then interrupted by another character

San felt out of place as the scene occurred within the small group that gathered.

"H-" "Hey-" "Yeosang! W-" "YAH! Kim Hongjoong! ... hyung"

Wooyoung felt cornered in the situation, his crush that he hasn't even met yet, was about to learn his identity before he was supposed to. Hyunjin and his hyung didn't know that though he couldn’t blame them and he knew the reprecussions of this ‘plan’.

But he just panicked not thinking when he blurted out his roommate's name. It was embarrassing but he was relieved that he didn't gain too much attention.

"You think just cause you added hyung, I won't scold you later?" Joong asked, confused at the sudden outburst.

" No.... I'm sorry... but we made a promise remember!"

"I know.. I know! I just wanted to say hi to Yeosang" Joong sighed, waving back to a smiling Yeosang, who's one hand was waving while the other held Wooyoung's. Joong gave a look but quick to shake his head telling himself not to think much of it.

"Kim Hongjoong?" Seonghwa repeated, noting the boy's appearance before he was able to walk away.

Joong heard the faint call and turned back, biting his lip glancing around for who called him.

"Um we met earlier ! thanks for getting me to the lecture theatres"

Hongjoong smiled recognising the cute boy he helped earlier. The two introduced themselves formally to each other and got to chatting, forming a group when Minho and Hyunjin joined them.

Wooyoung and Yeosang were left with San, who paid most his attention to them. Eager to introduce himself finally but unable to start. San ended up just gazing at Wooyoung who stood directly in front of him, Yeosang keeping him put by their connected hands.

"uh.. San I'd like you to meet my friend" Yeosang broke their trances, pushing Wooyoung to speak up but San used this opportunity.

"Hi ! I'm San.. from Busan, nice to meet you !" "Uh hi ... Hi San um I'm Jongho" "lovely name"

Yeosang tried to hold his giggles, "oh dude, he's flirting" from Mark Lee replaying in his head made it difficult.

Before Wooyoung could reply, Hyunjin had turned to join them. Wooyoung excused himself to the bathroom, not wanting to reply because he didn't know what to say anymore and he didn't want Hyunjin to get any closer to exposing him.

"Haha sorry, he's a little shy.." Yeosang explained. San said he understood as Hyunjin came, about to ask where Wooyoung was running off to. Yeosang stepped in to stall for his friend, distracting the two with conversation.

Wooyoung locked himself in the bathroom, quick to his phone, replying to Mingi, venting in the FULL SUNS NECK CULT and asking Joong for help.

-

- [ *finishing not “finding what you’re typing” ]

- [^‘i just *met him’ ] [ ‘can’t fail our *leader’↴]

Wooyoung stood hiding next to the bookshelf San was staring at earlier. Trying to take in Gyu's advice, even though he knew he was gonna mess up either way.

He cautiously approached where he left the three, no sign of Hyunjin, Joong was really doing him some big favours tonight.

Yeosang and San had sat back on the couch.

"uh sorry about that" 

Yeosang scooted over creating a space for Wooyoung between him and San. Wooyoung was hesitant but didn't want to seem rude, accepting the seat between them. "it's okay!" San reassured. 

Yeosang couldn't stand the tension. Wooyoung was clearly uncomfortable, making San feel uneasy but he tried his best to engage with them both. 

Small talk.. even though Wooyoung wanted to avoid the cliche but it was refreshing speaking with San face to face. Maybe this is what Gyu meant. It felt familiar but also a little tedious, he practically knew all of San's answers.

 Slowly the boys became more relaxed as their conversation progressed, the two best friends almost slipping up with twitter and names multiple times. San didn't seem to mind, simply joining in their laughter when they made a look at each other everytime they almost made a mistake. 

They eventually got to talking about a shared interest, Monet the impressionist artist. Yeosang seemed invested in the artist but had no clue who exactly this Monet was. He was more so content at the progress the two made at getting closer, friendship wise but also physically, Wooyoung might as well have been on San's lap. They were all too busy and happy in conversation to notice that Hyunjin had wandered back to them.

"Hey guys ! Wooyoung ! I'm surprised you aren't hanging with Hongjoong tonight" Hyunjin remarked, no space on the couch so he opted for the floor seating himself infront of them. 

Three pairs of eyes widen at the name, Hyunjin couldn't help but mimic them wondering if he said something wrong. The second Wooyoung met San's eyes he reacted under pressure and drink, shouting "I CAN EXPLAIN".

Real Talk : 

Fake name, and the best you could do was Jongho?1/1 

also markhyuck 2017 summer fight still the biggest mystery of the kpop industry but.. 

seems like wooyoung is also asking for a lot of favours tonight too.. i think he’s gonna have to do better than just explaining.. and maybe he should stop digging a hole for himself.. it’s embarrassing 

pt.20 < Masterlist > pt.22

[ Social Media Woosan AU:

Having finished his first year of college, Wooyoung spends his summer with friends.. online friends mostly., friends made through his Lee Donghyuck parody acc..

Will he be ready to spend his second year with these crackheads ? and what if his twt crush starts attending his university ? ]

a/n this took forever and might not be the greatest..  i still haven’t gotten all my sem 1 assignments done.. but this was nice to do over the holidays.. even tho i definitely didn’t get enough of a break but hope you guys had good one and Happy New Year!

Albert likes to think he’s gotten used to all of Race’s funny quirks and little habits.  He’d long since given up on getting him to stop biting his nails and the whole twirling his hair while he relaxes thing is pretty endearing.  But there are some things that still surprise him.  

Like his utterly amazing habit of withholding big life changes until they’re glaringly important and then announcing them as if he’s commenting on the weather.

Which is why Albert basically spits his tea all over his laptop one morning when Race announces he’s been cast in the fucking Broadway revival of Cats.

Fucking Cats.

Albert doesn’t even know what Cats is about.  Not that he’s ever really had the desire to know.  The whole show is a little too...furry for him.

It had been a mild Sunday morning up until then.  The sky was clear and blue and the sun rays hit just right on their bed, waking them up, but not disturbing them.  They’d lounged around for a few hours, switching between lazy morning cuddles and tiredly making out.  Life since moving to the City together had been exhilarating.  The freedom they’d once yearned for so heavily was finally at their fingertips, lending them the time to focus on their dreams and basking in the post college glow of their early adulthood.

Race worked at the local pizza joint when he wasn’t auditioning for whatever he could find casting calls for (which apparently included fucking Cats the fucking musical).  It was a good gig for him; it kept him busy and entertained.  Something Albert struggled to do single-handedly.

Albert on the other hand worked at a dingy mechanics shop a few blocks away, fixing up old cars on the side while working his way through the prestigious culinary grad program he’d somehow managed to get into.  All in all, they were doing well for themselves as 24 year olds living alone in New York City.

Somehow, they’d managed to drag themselves out of bed and into the kitchen, where Albert fixed them a modest breakfast of omelettes before docking at the counter to sort through some emails.  

Race was sitting next to him, absentmindedly petting Chips, their orange tabby, when he states, “I got cast in the Broadway revival of Cats.”

Albert pauses mid-type, glancing up at his boyfriend, who’s still intently looking at Chips, running his hand down the length of his back, “You what!?”

Race takes a deep breath, then repeats, “I got cast in the Broadway revival of Cats.”

Albert’s been rendered speechless by Race plenty of times in his 6+ years of knowing him.  But he’s never felt quite as...dumbfounded before.

“You got cast...in Cats?” He asks slowly, before shaking his head and backing up, “Wait, no, hang on, hang on...you auditioned for fucking Cats?”

Race ducks his head, a blush forming under his collar and around his ears, “Uh, yeah, I meant to mention it...but it never came up?”

Albert blinks again, “Who- what- what even is Cats?”

Race goes to answer, then closes his mouth hastily, “I don’t...actually really know…”

“How don’t you know?  You’re in the damn show!”

“I was only just cast!  I don’t know it that well yet!”

Albert makes a choked noise, “Okay, but you should at least know what the fuck the show is about if you went through a damn audition process- wait, when was this even happening? What- I’m so confused right now...my fucking boyfriend got cast in a Broadway musical- FUCKING CATS- and I didn’t even know he was auditioning.”

“I’m sorry I didn’t tell you!” Race says, looking alarmed at Albert’s impending Cats- induced mental breakdown.  Chips gives an annoyed meow at the lack of attention being bestowed onto her and leaps off the counter, trotting away to find Queso, their golden doodle.

“I mean, you’re not entitled to tell me everything about your life, just...wow, I mean, this is big,” Albert scrubs a hand down his face, “I didn’t do anything to make you feel like you couldn’t share this with me, did I?”

Race’s face softens, “No, of course not, Albie,” he sighs, reaching across the table and linking their hands together, “I just got caught up in everything...sometimes things just feel so busy and overwhelming and I like to process it alone before letting other people in on it.”

Albert squeezes his hand, “That’s understandable,” he smiles, bending down to kiss his knuckles, “And congrats! I’m so proud of you! I mean, fucking Broadway...my boyfriend’s gonna be on Broadway.”

Race beams, “Thanks.”

“We have to celebrate,” Albert concludes, “I’m calling Spot and the others.  You better not have work tonight, ‘cause we’re going out for drinks.”

Race shakes his head, bemused, as Albert pulls out his phone to text their group chat.  

“Fucking Cats…” Albert murmurs as he sends the text, “Fuckin’....Cats.”

XXX

“Can you say that your bite is worse than your bark?  Are you cock of the walk when you’re walking alone?  Because jellicles are and jellicles do, jellicles do and jellicles would, jellicles would and…”

Albert freezes in the doorway to their apartment, slowly closing the door behind him as he strains his ears.  He follows the sound of the weirdly tempoed music to the kitchen, where Race is bopping around by the microwave, reheating last night’s dinner of chicken curry.

“Hey,” Albert calls, setting the groceries on the counter.

Race glances over, flashing Albert a smile and turning down the music a few notches.

“Hey, yourself,” he says, pulling his bowl out of the microwave and stirring it a bit with a fork to cool it down.

Albert crosses to him, pecking him on the lips quickly and grabbing a glass for water.

“Jellicles can and jellicles do, jellicles can and jellicles do…”

Albert wrinkles his nose, “the fuck even is a jellicle?”

Race shrugs, shoveling a forkful of curry into his mouth, “Dunno, some type of cat?  Google it.”

Albert hums, “So this is Cats then?  Interesting music.”

“I know, it’s kinda weird,” Race says, perching at the counter, “But it grows on you.  Rehearsal started today, so…”

“Yeah, you mentioned that,” Albert places his glass in the sink and leans against the counter, “How’d it go?”

“Pretty well, I made a few friends,” Race says, “Jojo’s in it.”

Albert smiles, “No kidding! That’s crazy.”

“Right?  I didn’t even know he was auditioning!”

“Seems to be the trend with this show.”

“I get it, I get it,” Race rolls his eyes, looking a little guilty.

“Jellicle songs for jellicle cats, jellicle songs for jellicle cats, jellicle songs for jellicle…”

“If they say ‘jellicle’ one more time I’m going to shoot myself,” Albert growls.

Race whips his head up, eyes slightly wide, “Oh, honey, you are not going to make it through this one…”

“Fantastic.”

XXX

“Hey, Race, have you seen my- WHAT THE FUCK!”

Race turns away from the bathroom mirror, fixing Albert with an innocent look.

“Have I seen your what?” He asks.

“No,” Albert says, pointing a finger, “First answer what the FUCK happened to your face.”

Race turns back to the mirror, dabbing some more orange cream foundation around his eyes.  Disturbingly, Albert notes that his makeup design looks very similar to Chips.

“Gotta do our own makeup for the show,” Race answers, padding a generous amount of setting powder around his face, “I’m practising.”

“Right…” Albert rakes his eyes over Race’s features.  So far, the makeup only spans on his face and down his neck a little, “What else does your costume entail exactly?”

Race grins wickedly and Albert swallows.  

“Oh, you’ll see.”

XXX

“Do you like my tail?”

Albert slowly closes his book, praying for strength as he looks up.  Race is standing by the doorway, rehearsal bag dropped at his feet.  His face is smudged- like he tried and failed to clean off all the layers of his meticulous cat makeup.  He’s dressed normally in adidas workout pants and a random t-shirt from a color run they did years back.  Protruding (Albert doesn’t wanna know how, but alas) from his backside is an orange tabby cat tail.

“Did you choose to be the same kind of cat as Chips?  Or was it some sort of creepy coincidence,” Albert deadpans, refusing to look at the tail longer than he has to and keeping his eyes fixed on Race’s face.

Race’s smile drops a fraction of an inch, “Wait, it’s weird that I chose to be her breed?”

Albert groans and picks back up his book.

XXX

“Congratulations!” 

Albert is met with a faceful of Race’s blond curls as the cast comes swarming out of the stagedoor.  He smells like makeup remover and sweat, but Albert doesn’t care as he kisses him, pride swelling in his chest.  

He doesn’t think he’ll ever get over the exhilarating feeling of seeing Race shine onstage.

“Thanks!” Race looks high on adrenaline and Albert never wants that light to leave his eyes, “What did you think?”

“You were so good!  Everyone was!  And the music was all better than I first thought it would be,” Albert said, playfully swaying them back and forth where they stood, keeping his arms wrapped tightly around Race, “Just one question.”

Race cocks his head, “what’s up?”

“What the fuck is Cats about?”

Race tips his head back and laughs, “I still have no fucking clue.”

the word ‘cats’ doesn’t even sound real anymore and i think that’s fitting

Pieces Of My Soul.

Chapter 2 - Surprise part 2.

After getting off of the phone to Shay I sat for a while questioning what had just happened. Are we really going to Korea? I wonder why. How.

I don’t know how to react. I want to scream, shout, run, smile, ask everyone I knew if it was true and for what reason. What reason? Why? How? Instead of packing my bags like I was told to I flopped onto my bed and began drifting into my own world, not knowing anything that was about to happen.

After some time I heard a knock on the front door, not fully responding to the sound until I heard the voices of my mum and Shay’s chatting away at the front door and the sound of heavy running up the stairs.

“Y/N!!!” She gleammed as I turned my head to look in her direction before her face turned into a confused expression. “What are you doing? Have you even moved since I called you? I thought I had told you to start packing your bags!”

I suddenly sprung up from my lying position, half in a jump to stand, however stopping as soon as I reach standing point to sit down again thinking that I couldn’t handle the surprise. “YOU WAS BEING SERIOUS!” I couldn’t help but shout.

I heard a little “Oooo I think she figured out they’re really going.” From downstairs not really know who’s mum it was.

“Yes I was being serious. Why would I call you so early in the morning in order to get you to pack for a holiday, if I didn’t mean it?” Shay said this as she headed to my closet to start picking out outfits for said holiday.

I ended up just sitting and staring for a while as I watched my best friend have a magical time in the land that is my closet. “Come on, get up and start folding. Or at least go and get your suitcase.” Instead of continuing to sit there I finally get up to help out. To begin with I go out and obtain my suitcase. After, I proceeded to help Shay collect my outfits from “Narnia” and continue to pack, folding each set delicately.

I realised eventually that she was picking only the best outfits that I had within the whole wardrobe, so I began to question why. “Shay, why are you only picking out the best outfits that I have?”

She smiled and gave a light giggle. “Well…” she paused a little and I wondered why. “You’ll see when we get there.” “Not only that but we are going on holiday and you need to look your absolute best!”

“Okay…” looking at Shay rather suspiciously. “Wait, when are we going?”

“This afternoon.”

“WHAT?”

“Like I said, this afternoon.”

I looked at her with bewilderment. “AND YOU DIDN’T THINK TO TELL ME THIS BEFORE TODAY!” I begin to panic running around like a headless chicken. “There’s so much I need, I have to have my hair things, beauty items, toothbrush, my shoes! So much!”

“Y/N calm down, it’s not that big of a deal, I already packed before meeting you yesterday. I have all the time in the world to sit here with you packing your things.”

I sighed. “But what if we forget something and remember last minute. You know what my memory is like…” As I was looking down in disappointment, Shay pulled out a note pad.

“Already sorted.” I looked up and sure enough there was everything that we needed was on that list as far as I could tell. I even checked it over twice. “Just because I knew you would panic and you are usually the one who has to organise everything.”

After quiet a few hours of us rushing about trying to get a hold on everything that I possibly needed to survive for a month, we was eventually all packed and ready to go on our very first holiday together. I was so excided that I didn’t come across as bothered in the slightest but really I was trying not to scream. We ended up dragging all of my things downstairs and put it into the car. Apparently my parents had been in on it this whole time and had planned with Shay’s parents to take us to the airport. During the time that we had been packing they had put Shay’s bags into our car and proceeded to do the same with mine. In no time we was on our way and ready to go.

On the way to the airport I ended up coming up with several different questions. “Wait, I don’t have a passport, how am I supposed to go!!”

“Stop worrying so much Y/N, you’ll get granny creases. We already did that for you.” explained my dad.

“Will I be able to call home?”

“Of course you will, don’t be stupid.” Shay exclaimed. “You’re on a contract there’s no reason you shouldn’t be able to, you have international calls.”

“Oh… OH MY GOODNESS I DIDN’T CONVERT ANY MONEY!”

“Y/N, Calm yourself down woman, we’ve told you a thousand times we are prepared.” shay giggled lightly while I continued to list things and she replied.

“Travel sick tablets?”

“Yes.”

“Charger?”

“Of course”

“tablets?”

“Are we even allowed to carry tablets with us?”

“I don’t know” I frowned. “But I don’t like to think about not having any, you know I get sick easily.”

“That’s true.” Shay frowned in turn.

“Did you bring my other medication with a doctor note? I know I’m allowed those for sure.”

“Yes we did Y/N, and when you get there I’m sure you can purchase any medication you need, you did study Korean well enough to be able to get around.” My mother looked at me through the mirror while saying this. She did have a point, I studied for a long time while I had any free time, no matter how busy I was with anything. I always wanted to learn it so that is what I did.

By the time we had gotten to the Airport, said our goodbyes and gotten onto the plane we was merely a few hours away from it becoming dark. I sat stiffly in the seat that I was assigned to as it was the first time that I had been in a plane. We had already been through that speech they give on every plane journey. We had also been on the plane for quiet a while but I didn’t seem to move. I didn’t know how to feel or react. I glanced over at Shay in hopes to see her somewhat relaxed to calm myself down. However when I scanned over I seemed to find her in a similar situation as she was also on edge about this whole situation. I should have known better, we where both similar people and found a lot of common ground. I decided not to mention it because I knew she was trying really hard to make me be comfortable and not panic about anything on the trip. Thinking about this made me relax and I looked out of the plane window to try and find some closure. At this point I had realised we had been on the plane for longer than I had thought as when we had gotten on must have been at least 3 or 4 hours before dark.

“You should try and get some sleep, we have at least another 6 or so hours, maybe even more, you’ve been zoned out for a while, so have I so god knows how long we have left.” I nodded slightly. “I asked someone who isn’t sleeping to wake us once we get there, so rest for a while”

I don’t have much energy because of the rushing around and waking up early, so going to sleep before getting to our location sounded good to me. “Okay, you make sure you get some rest too then!” I smiled at Shay before putting my headphones in so I could listen to music to sleep. She returned the nod and we both fell asleep.

By the time I had woken up someone was just coming alone to wake us and tell us that we were at our destination. “WE’RE HERE!?” I exclaimed.

The airhostess looked at me in an odd fashion and said “why of course! I hope you enjoy your stay!“ I smiled and thanked her as I shook Shay knowing she would need more prompting to wake up.

"Shay, Shay! Wake up! We’re here!” “Huh?” She was obviously startled.

“WE ARE HERE” At these words she squealed and soon got up and we rushed off of the plane to get our luggage.

Soon after we had reached our destination we went to our hotel and thanked the workers as we soon continued to our room.

I let out a breathless sigh as I was extremely impressed by the breath taking view we had outside.

“Shay I can’t believe this!”

“What?”

“IT’S SO BEAUTIFUL”

“I thought you’d like it. Now start unpacking, I’ll put the kettle on.”

“Okay.” I sighed shoving my bag onto the bed beginning to unpack. “How did you get such a wonderful room?”

“Oh that’s easy” She said slightly louder as she was in the other room. “I wanted to get us separate rooms and a living room so I booked super early.”

“How early?” I looked at her puzzled.

“Stop asking questions and just accept it.”

“Fine.” I frowned.

“Tea or Coffee?” Shay hollered.

“Latte please!”

Laughter came from the front room. “YOU’RE SUCH A WHITE GIRL”

As I walked into the room to place something in the living room I said “What and you’re telling me that you’re not having one?”

“Mmmmm….”

“That’s what I thought…” I giggled lightly to show I was joking about.

Eventually I ended up unpacking all of my clothes and headed to the main room to have my coffee.

“That took less time than I though.”

“Yeah, me too.”

I went to go pick up my cup but Shay stopped me before I got there. “Wait.”

“Why?” It didn’t seem like there was a problem with my drink so why shouldn’t I pick it up?

“Well you know how I said this was a last surprise…” She smiled.

“It’s not is it…”

“Well….”

I flopped back in the sofa and sighed. “What is it now?”

“Who is your favourite kpop group?”

She’s trying to give me a hint isn’t she. “Are you giving me a clue?”

“yes.”

“Seventeen.”

“You got that fast. Your bias?”

“Don’t do that to me Shay. Jihoon, but bias wreckers are brutal when it comes to seventeen.” I laugh.

“Well, pick an outfit because. Well you’re not going to believe this but… We’re going to a Seventeen Concert!”

“WHAT!”

I was so surprised I’m sure I passed out.

check in tag!

I was tagged by @haseulsbrow! thank you so much ily 💕✨

1. Why did you choose your url?

I previously had a url for the untamed but it was just after loona had comeback with 12:00 and I really wanted a vivi url. I was thinking for ages and thought deervivi sounded cute because her representative animal is a deer but it wasn’t available so I changed it to dearvivi which I couldn’t believe was 😂 I love it, it’s my favourite url I’ve ever had, I genuinely don’t think I’ll ever change it 💕

2. Any side blogs? If you have them name them and why you have them

nope! I don’t have the attention span or organisation skills to have side blogs 😂 I tried back in 2018 with my old account when loona debuted to make a loona side blog but I never used it

3. How long have you been on tumblr?

It’s so sad that I know this but it was april 2014 😂 it’s not this account but it was mainly for exo and girls generation

4. Do you have a queue tag?

nope! lol I don’t really need one

5. Why did you start your blog in the first place?

lmao so long story 😂 I started this blog originally during the time that I had fell out of kpop (mainly due to fan wars). I think it was summer of 2017 and it was a book blog. Then it slowly turned into a marvel blog and my url was ironprker! I just kinda posted a bit of everything tbh. I changed it at one point to whoisyenncfer due to my the witcher obsession with both the show and game lol. Then in like august I changed it to clnenqing for the untamed before settling on dearvivi when I said fuck it and started posting kpop again 😂 I had gotten into loona when chuu’s heart attack came out in december of 2017 and fell deeply in love lmao but I didn’t want to post kpop but I accepted it when they came back after the hiatus in early 2020 cause I missed them so much and then I got back into kpop in general during quarantine!

6. Why did you choose your icon?

because vivi is the love of my life and I think I stopped breathing when I seen that teaser pic

7. Why did you choose your header?

I don’t have a header! I don’t think I’ve ever really used headers tbh

okay so the closest I have come to fighting with another blog was when I reblogged a post about how problematic mxtx is who wrote mdzs and the issues in the book which is why I don’t want to read it and am just a fan of the show which is the untamed. However the op of the post who was making ignorant and kinda racist points tagged me and tried to start shit with me but I just blocked them lmao I don’t have time for that
