BEST SMALLER BLOG (a very important category bc I actually do not understand how these people don’t have thousands of ppl following them??)

WINNER: @the-pontiac-bandit​ OKAY let me tell you about carrie and her blog. I spent a solid 60 mins reading her amazing writing and admiring her theme and then I checked her reblog and she had the #under500 tag and I yelled. not kidding. like an actual noise left my mouth because HOW THIS GIRL DOES NOT HAVE A CULT FOLLOWING I WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND. FOLLOW HER RUNNERS UP: @theartofdreaming1​ aka Vicky who is the sweetest person and SUCH a talented artist!!! @khwabonkeparindey​ anna’s blog is so adorable and maybe it’s bc I’m type A but the layout of her navigation actually turned me on a little bit oh my LORD it’s beautiful and so well-organised @two-drink-amy​ I was only gonna have two runners up for this category but nicole and everything about her blog is so sweet!!

BEST URL WINNER: @jake-purealta​ not only does tash seem incredibly lovely BUT this url is so perfect and well-fitting!!! I feel like, given her obsession w Tswift, it fits beautifully well with jake’s obsession too??? everything about it clicks I love it RUNNERS UP: @roscoesantangelo​ because I mean!!!!! you’ve scored the perfect url of jorma taccone’s character in parks and rec!!!? like damn good on u my guy  @amysantiagone​ okay I wont lie this one is for personal reasons- although I happen to absolutely love Nate’s blog- bc for some reason the url reminds me of when u get super drunk and describe urself as “gone” (a v popular phrase here in the UK) and as a result I just picture drunk Amy whenever I see ur URL

BEST EDITS WINNER: @juliadorable​ RIGHT OKAY SO JULIA (julia) is one of these people I’ve always wanted to chat to bc she seems amazing but what I absolutely love about her edits & gifs is that she picks/ creates posts for some of the most underappreciated moments in the show!!! I love em and this blog is a blessing thank u sm RUNNERS UP: @jakeperallta​ aka @deepshadows​ !!! look at these edits immediately oh my god they are actually incredible and so creative!!! i’m not worthy!! fam I love ur edits so much thank u for providing me w this goodness <3 follow alexa immediately on both blogs seriously @brown-aces​ I won’t lie I’m not sure if these count as edits but I legit couldn’t not include you because of THE INCORRECT QUOTES TAG. this is legit one of my fave things and ur posts never fail to make me chuckle

(everything on my blog is my own writing. if it is shared on another page or website know it hasn’t been approved me unless specified. all rights reserved. - i have to start doing this as I had some shit on my other blog with plagiarism)

DO NOT STEAL MY WORK - IT IS ALL MY OWN WRITING

“Fuck.” You can’t help but stare down at the stick in your fingertips as your phone begins to ring, yet you let it ring out. 

Dropping the stick, you bury your head in your hands as you stifle a cry. This can’t be happening, you were more careful than this, right? 

Obviously, you weren’t. One drunken evening after dinner on your anniversary, things got sloppy. A small groan escapes your lips as you begin to recall the events that took place, along with the words you muttered to David. ‘we don’t need it tonight, baby.’ 

Well, clearly you did. Congrats. 

Looking over to your phone, you watch as it lights up once more, another missed call from David and a text from your assistant. 

‘when are you coming out? they’re filming in twenty.’ 

A long sigh leaves your lips as you force yourself to your feet, throwing the stick into the trash as you exit the toilet in your trailer. As you walk over to grab your things, your hand instinctively rests on your stomach, on the non-existent baby bump. 

“There you are!” A small scoff sounds from Katy, your assistant as she leans against the door to your trailer. “Y/n, are you okay?” Her voice softens as you turn around to face her, paler than usual as you blink slowly. 

“I’m, I’ll be fine.” You stumble over your words as you try to walk past her, but Katy holds your upper arm lightly. “I’ll be fine, Kitty Kat.” You tease with a forced smile, one Katy doesn’t buy but allows it to slide. 

“Break a leg!” She calls out, something she’s done since she first began to assist you. 

Throwing her a thumbs up, you carry on towards the set for this afternoon. 

Today was the scene you were dreading; it was your fight scene. You insisted on doing your own stunts as a challenge to yourself. There was always your stunt double on stand by, but ninety percent of the time, it was you. 

“Okay, Y/n!” Mark, the director calls as you wave to him, taking your position on set as your hair and makeup is touched up. “So, scene twenty-seven, take five. And, action!” He yells, and suddenly you’re back into the world of the movie. 

“Listen, we can take this the easy way, or the bitch ass way.” You smirk to your costar, Jacob, who scoffs playfully. 

Besides you, the camera pans in on the sudden drop in your expression as you lunge yourself forward, tacking your costar to the ground as the coordinated fight between you fully commences. 

After the first few fake punches, things are going smoothly. “Okay, and cut there!” Mark calls out and you straighten up as your costar pats you on the shoulder. 

“Hey, Y/n, you feeling alright?” Jacob asks, his face beginning to blur into three as you fall backwards. “Can we get a medic on set?” You faintly hear as you lie on the ground, seeing faces surrounding you before you fully black out. 

*

Groaning lightly, you slowly open your eyes.  

“There she is,” Katy smiles brightly as you try to sit upright, only to have her hand lightly rest on your shoulder, guiding you back down on your couch. “I’d take it steady, medic instructed me to ensure you drink this and stay seated.” 

Accepting the bottle of water, you take a long sip whilst Katy keeps her eyes focused on you. “What is it, Kitty Kat?” You raise an eyebrow to your assistant. 

“I don’t wanna pry, Y/n,” She starts, quickly trailing off. “but, the medic asked me if anything was different about you, and I know you’ve been sick a lot lately, and, and you’ve been having these mood swings.” She explains, focusing on the floor instead of looking you in the eye. 

“Katy, it’s okay.” You force a small smile as you reach your hand out, snapping her from her own thoughts. “Does anyone else know this or just the medic?” You ask her quietly, glancing over to check the door to your trailer is closed. 

“Just the medic.” She ensures as you sigh in relief, taking another sip from the bottle that’s close to empty now. “Have you told David?” Katy questions hesitantly and watches as you shake your head. 

Tears build up in your eyes within seconds, and a small sob escapes your lips. “I don’t know what to do,” You blubber, wiping your eyes as Katy passes you some tissues. “I, I’m in the middle of shooting a movie! David’s career is skyrocketing, I,” You sigh in exhaustion as you collapse back down into your sofa whilst Katy daps your eyes lightly with more tissues. 

“I guess you won’t know until you talk to him, Y/n/n.” Katy forces a smile as your trailer door opens, and your co-star appears. 

“Oh, sorry,” Jacob nervously laughs. “I just came to check you’re alright as Mark wants to carry on shooting the stunt, but we can use your double?” 

Sniffing, you sit upright as Katy holds her arms out cautiously. “Tell Mark to carry on with the double, sorry ‘bout this Jacob.” You apologise to your co-star who shrugs it off and exits the trailer, leaving you alone with your assistant once more. “I’m going to have to tell David,” You bury your head in your hands as Katy rubs your back supportively. 

“It’ll be okay, Y/n.” Katy tells you, wondering deep down whether this is going to be a good thing or not. 

*

“Y/n?!” David yells as the front door closes, and he rushes from editing to the hallway, seeing you stood there with a tired smile on your face. “Katy texted me, you feeling any better?” 

Immediately you’re enveloped into a tight hug, one filled with so much love and concern, and you just break down. 

“I’m sorry,” You cry, pulling away from your boyfriend who furrows his eyebrows as you wipe your eyes forcefully. 

“Hey, it’s okay,” David hushes as he helps you toward the couch and sits beside you, lifting his hand up to wipe your tears away. “are you feeling any better? How was filming?” 

You simply shake your head as you fixate on the awards displayed from both your careers. So many achievements in a few years, how could you take potential opportunities away from him now? 

“I, it wasn’t so bad.” You shrug your shoulder. “But, there’s something I need to tell you,” Shifting on the couch, you face David and take his hands in yours. 

“Okay, what’s so serious?” He chortles but quickly cuts himself off as your lips turn down into a frown, and sadness coats your gaze. 

“You know I’ve been feeling kinda sick lately?” You slowly start, and David nods along. “Well, today I felt even worse, and I thought it might be my period, but it’s late.” You explain, looking up as David tenses up. 

“How late is late?” David questions quickly, holding your hands tightly as you hold back another cry. 

“Late enough to know it’s not coming, because I’m pregnant.” You quietly state, hearing it aloud for the first time as silence looms over both of you. “And I know, the timing couldn’t be any worse, but I did some research on my way home and there’s a clinic like a half-hour away, and-”

“Wait,” David cuts you off abruptly. “you, you don’t want it?” His voice softens to a whisper. 

“I, I don’t know.” You mutter, feeling David’s hands slip out of yours. “Are we even ready for a child, Dave?” You ask as he stands up and begins to pace around the living room. 

“We could be, but from the sounds of it you’ve made up your mind.” He scoffs, rubbing his eyes as you lean back, taking a cushion and covering your stomach. 

“I’ve not made my mind up, David.” You shoot back. “I’m just thinking of both of us here, what it’ll mean for our careers.” 

David pauses and sighs. “But we could make it work, others have!” He exclaims, but you shake your head. “Are you not ready for this? For a family?” David kneels down in front of you with those big doe eyes. 

“I’m scared, Dave.” You whimper, clutching the cushion closer to you. “You really think we could raise a kid in all of this,” You motion to the world around you, your world that you’re both consumed in. 

A small smile tugs at David’s lips as he pulls the cushion away from you, focusing on your stomach. “I think we can do this, but only if you’re ready to, Y/n.” David comforts you before sitting down beside you as you lean against him, resting your head on his shoulder. 

“Whatever I decide, you’ll be there for me?” You quietly ask, biting your lip as you glance up at David. 

“I’ll always be there for you, Y/n.” David kisses the top of your head as you snuggle closer into him. “Whatever you decide, I’m not going anywhere.”

1K CELEBRATION LITERATURE AWARDS:

omg I’m so so sorry this took forever - It’s been so long that I now have around 1.5k so I figured as soon as I had time, I would make a quick edit and reveal the awards! (especially since I had them all written up for months!). In truth it was quite hard to decide what to elect people, especially since there were so many stunning blogs who entered ! (again I’m so sorry!). But anyhow, without further ado, it’s high time this was done so:

Sappho: Under Appreciated WIP - @itsmadea (From what I’ve seen of your writing, it’s wonderful and I defo feel like more people should go and check it out!)

Oscar Wilde: Best WIP edits @nerocael 

Barrett-Browning: Up and Coming (this, unlike the sappho award, is not based on a particular per say but rather who I think has made the most personal progress in regards to their writing/blog) @sugavra (You know I had to elect you for this! I’m so hyped to see where your art and writing is going like ahhh, I can’t speak for you but from my side of things it seems as if you’re becoming more comfortable with it all and I’m so !!!!)

through the darkness : d.d

brief summary: you’re coming up to graduating college, but its obvious you’re struggling with stress. when it gets very bad, david and everyone are there to help you through it.

word count: 1.5k requested: by a sweet anon - i relate to the idea and fell in love writing it thank you! warnings: idk. swearing, self doubt (how every student has felt at some stage basically) 

* masterlistin’

(everything on my blog is my own writing. if it is shared on another page or website know it isn’t me. all rights reserved. - i have to start doing this as I had some shit on my other blog with plagiarism) 

Sitting with your head in your hands, you can feel the morning breeze glide through your window panes. “I don’t know if I can do this anymore.” You mumble to yourself as you sniff quietly, not wanting to wake him up.

All night, you’ve sat at your desk and studied. You’ve reread the same pages over and over in hope some of the information will sink in. But as you close your eyes and try to recite anything, none of it reappears back to you. Not a single page of text is staying in your brain, and that is breaking you piece by piece.

Moving in your bed, David turns to see you. His eyes widen as he sits upright and looks to the spot beside him having remained untouched. “Did you study all night?” He questions with a small yawn as you keep your back turned.

His eyes wander to the series of cans on the floor, the piles of books and papers decorated with post-it notes. Three mugs remain uniform as they all contain various levels of caffeine you tried to consume to stop your eyes closing on you.

“I couldn’t sleep.” You mutter in response as you look straight ahead, seeing the sun rising in front of your very eyes. “Haven’t got time to sleep.” The words leave your lips like a mantra. You knew you could make time to sleep, but you can’t. There’s too much to get done, too much to study and memorise before your final exam.

“Y/n, you gotta let your body shut down.” David speaks out, shuffling across the sheets to perch on the edge of the mattress behind you.

He wants to reach out, take a hold of you in his arms. But he knows better than to force you, he knows you’re struggling and he will avoid any sign of making it worse.

Over the passing weeks, David has seen less and less of you. The happy, loving, funny version of you that he loves. You’ve been replaced by a sleep-deprived student who is sacrificing everything to try and focus.

It isn’t just David who has noticed, everyone else has seen it happen. When he asked Natalie, she explained it’s perfectly normal. How it’s what students tend to do during finals, especially third-year students.

“I’ll sleep soon, I promise.” You lie as you blink rapidly in aid of stopping the heaviness in your face. “I just gotta read this last chapter, make a few notes and I’ll be with you.” You wave him off as your vision zones out from the textbook, the words blurring together.

David opens his mouth to say something, but no words follow. He turns away and rises to his feet and shuts the bathroom door.

As you listen to the shower being turned on, tears flow from your eyes automatically. You bury your mouth into your sleeve to stop the sobs being heard over the water hitting the shower floor.

“God,” you sniff as you sit back upright and wipe your eyes. “just fucking focus.” You mutter forcefully to yourself as you slap your cheek to keep your eyes open. “One chapter, Y/n. One fucking chapter.” Your aggression turns into sadness as tears hit the pages of your book. “Fuck.” You groan as you wipe the tears away, only to see more replacing those you removed from the pages as the ink smudges.

Behind you, David stands with the door open. He heard you swearing to yourself before he stepped into the shower, his concern growing as silence replaced your mutters.

He watches you curl up in your chair, your arm stretching out to grab a book only to see a cup of coffee fall to the ground. “You piece of shit.” Your voice becomes louder as you stand upright and turn to see David stood there.

Neither of you speaks up, you both remain still for a split second before he walks over and holds you close in his arms.

David can feel his chest becoming damp from your tears, but he keeps a tight hold of you, refusing to let you go just yet. “I don’t know if I can do it, Dave.” You admit through your sobs. “I’m so tired, nothing is happening and I’m scared I’m going to fail after all of this.” You state through shallow breaths as your words get hitched in your throat.

“Come on,” David whispers as he kisses the top of your head, shuffling you into the bathroom with him. 

Holding your hand, David sits you down on the closed toilet seat and takes your make up wipes. He slowly helps remove the remains of last nights makeup and turns the shower on. With ease, he helps you undress and climbs into the shower with you.

He smiles softly as foam covers you both, the warmth slowly weaving into your body and softening your cold limbs. 

Once out from the shower, David wraps you into a towel like a child and laughs lightly. He watches as a glimpse of a smile appears on your face for a split second, but it’s enough to make his heart swell. 

“Just ten minutes, okay?” David tells you as he pulls you onto your bed, holding you in his arms as you both lay in dressing gowns. 

You shuffle closer into him, closing your eyes as you nod. “Ten minutes. Don’t let me oversleep.” You ask as you instantly drift off, unable to stop yourself from saying anything else.

David smiles down as you remain fast asleep on his chest, a slightly refreshed version of yourself as he glances to his phone.

More than ten minutes have passed by, but you definitely need it.

“Miss Y/n Y/L/N.” You walk up to the stage wearing your brightest smile as you shake your professor's hand. “Congratulations, Y/n.” He tells you as you nod to him before walking toward the steps, holding your diploma. 

David watches in the crowd with all of your friends, every single one of them bursting with pride as they see you return to your seat. “That’s my girl!” He shouts as you walk through the aisles, shyly looking down as he chuckles to himself.

Everyone knew how hard you worked for this moment, to actually make it through your final year. You had been through some of the darkest depths you didn’t know existed, but everyone was there to help nudge you closer to the surface. 

“I can’t believe she’s graduating.” Zane says as he wipes his eyes. “I feel like a proud parent.” He sniffs, causing Heath to hug him and pat his back.

“They grow up so fast, don’t they.” Heath comments and David focuses on you, how you’re glowing as you sit beside friends. 

You glance behind you, spotting your friends all in the crowd. Looking at all of them, you can see Zane tearing up with Heath, Carly and Erin taking photos and filming for you along with everyone else. But then your eyes lock with David’s.

His camera is nowhere in sight, he is simply focusing on you, on your moment. You give him a small wave, and his smile grows at the sight. “Thank you.” You mouth to him as he nods, knowing how much those two words truly mean to him and everyone else. 

As the rest of the students around you graduate, all you can think about is how lucky you are. That you have friends and a family who care so deeply about you, that no matter what, they’ll always be there to help.

Rising to your feet, you watch as everyone makes their way to their family members. Your parents are stood beside David, and bring you into a tight hug as they ramble on about how proud of you they are. And then they leave you for a moment with David, standing still in his smartest shirt and cleanest pair of black jeans.

“Good to see you made the effort, Dave.” You joke as he reaches out, bringing you into his arms. “Thank you, David.” You whisper to him this time, thinking back to the week before your finals. 

David didn’t give up on you that week. He stuck around and helped you as best as he could. He made sure you ate, he helped you have a routine despite it throwing off his own all because he wanted you to succeed. 

“All I want is for you to be happy, and for you to be living the life you dreamt of.” He tells you as his hand rests on your cheek. “I couldn’t be more proud to call you my girlfriend, Y/n. My college fucking GRADUATE.” He yells and you laugh loudly, ignoring the glances from your parents. 

“God, I love you, you dork.” You chuckle as you lean in, kissing him softly.

“And I love you too.” He mumbles into your lips as you feel a flash catch your eyes as you pull away.

Turning your heads, you spot Natalie holding one of David’s disposable cameras. “Trust me, in years to come you’ll thank me for capturing that.” She tells you and you both nod, going along with it. 

But now, looking back you are thankful. On top of your mantle sits your diploma along with a series of awards and a framed photo of that moment, something you’ll never forget.

dance lessons;

Hello Anon! Thank you so much for your request, I hope you like it and thanks for liking my blog ily♡ 

Word Count: 1.5k

Warnings: none

“I still believe it’s a great idea!” your group mate exclaimed as soon as you entered the practice room.

“What is, unnie/hyung?” you wondered while walking towards them quickly. 

“It’s just a rumor” the leader said calmly “But apparently the CEO wants us to collaborate with our sunbaes”

“Which ones?”

Please don’t say SF9, please don’t say SF9...

“SF9!” the first one yelled again with an excited tone, that member liked them so much... All of your group did, actually, you had no problem with them, as they were absolute angels and your groups got along very well but... well, you might have a little problem with one of them.

The spoiled little brat that Kang Chanhee was, loved getting in your nerves every time he had the chance, which is why hanging out with SF9 had its downside.

Anyway, it was just a rumor, so you had nothing to worry about yet, except maybe the fact that your current choreography was a little too difficult.

* * *

You grabbed your stuff and followed your group towards the exit of the building as practice was finally over and you were heading back to your dorms. One of the staff members stopped all of you, asking you to go back for an urgent meeting to discuss some of your future activities. Which lead to an excited round of murmuring between the rest of the members, except for you and the leader, who hushed them immediately and started leading all of you back to the practice room.

SF9 were already there, all scattered around the room, either playing on their phones or with each other. Their faces turned to the door when you came in and they made a quick reverence as a greeting, apart from their usual “How are you doing?”

“Hey Y/N” Rowoon called as you were walking by, in the search of a seating spot. Seokwoo had his arm firmly pressed around Chani’s chest, although seconds ago it had been hanging loosely.

“Hello sunbae” you greeted with a smile “Nice to see you”

Both boys looked at you in expectation but you did nothing else, until Chani spoke up.

“Yah, I’m your sunbae too, why not greet me as nice as him?”

The only response he got from you was a raised eyebrow and a low sigh.

“Yah, Chani, maybe if you were nice, Y/N would greet you like a sunbae too” Rowoon talked again hitting his chest lightly.

“Maybe” you whispered “I’ll sit down for a bit” you nodded your head and continued your way to the empty spot on the floor you had seen seconds ago.

After a few minutes your managers came into the room followed by the dance instructor. Quickly, they explained about the collaboration for a special stage in the next award show, which made you very excited, it seemed like a big deal and they asked all of you to do your best.

“So...” the dance instructor took the word once the managers left “We’ll start by learning the choreography, some of you will have a dance partner for this...”

Yes, of course. A dance partner. You could only hope you’d get Hwiyoung or Dawon, you felt like you’d be good dance partners but maybe they’d let you dance alone?

Nope, you wouldn’t be so lucky... you wouldn’t be lucky at all. Chani was assigned as your partner, obviously. You heights matched better, so it would look good if you two dance together.

When you looked at Chani he was already looking at you, but he immediately turned away, a little to avoid eye-contact, a little to hit Rowoon in the leg to make him stop giggling.

* * *

The sixth time you crashed into Chani, he actually groaned and glared at you for a little bit.

“You have to go to the left, Y/N, I thought that had been clear with the other 5 times you shoved into me” he sighed, failing in not seeming annoyed.

“Sorry, okay? I got a little confused with Zuho’s movements”

“Then you should focus” Chani remarked, looking at his hyung and then back at you.

“Yah, Chani, it’s okay” Youngbin chimed in “They just need to practice a bit more”

“I can dance” Chani spoke again “It’s not my fault Y/N doesn’t listen”

“Why is it suddenly my fault?” you faced him “And I can dance too...!”

“That’s enough” the elder interrupted again “Y/N, try to pay a little more attention, will you?”

“Yes” you nodded, finally giving in. But it was still useless, as one out of three times you still ended up smacking into Chani. 

“Okay that’s it” Chani didn’t even try to act like he wasn’t annoyed this time “I’m done with having your face smacked right into my shoulder every single time!”

“It’s you who’s making me get it wrong!” you exclaimed, it was a stupid and nonsense excuse. 

“No, it’s the fact that you can’t dance! Not even if your life depended on it!”

“How dare you!” 

“Yah, stop it both of you!” Inseong groaned “You’re annoying, just pay attention to what the other is doing”

“You’re staying late” the instructor called “This is supposed to be practice, you have to know this by now”

“But–” your voice faded when half of your group and 8/9 of the other stared at you with angry looks. “Yes, sir”.

* * *

It was very late, and you were still in the practice room, staring at your reflection in the mirror: all sweaty, with your hair spiking in different angles and a painful grimace on your face, your partner had a very similar appearance. Your eyes left your reflection to make the damn turn that had caused you so much trouble, and you prayed you’d get it right this time.

Left, left, left... please Y/N turn left...

And you did, but Chani got it wrong this time, causing you two to fall to the floor after crashing into each other.

“Why!” you yelled, pain shooting through your back as it hit the floor “Can’t you pay attention?!”

You were, of course, overreacting, because Chani hadn’t said a word since your late-hour practice had begun not even when you got the steps wrong. He was all too quiet, nodding as a response to your questions and just quickly restarting the music when it was necessary. 

“Yah, Chanhee say something! Why are you messing up?” supporting your weight in your elbows and quickly scattering to your feet, you chased after him as he walked to stop the music. “Seriously! Kang Chanhee!”

“What?” he turned around instantly “What? It’s the first time I mess up, can you knock it off?”

“Ugh!”

“Why are you so pissed? You’ve been getting everything wrong the whole time and I haven’t said a word! I told you, you can’t dance but I don’t complain about anything!”

“See? You always try to make it seem like it’s my fault!”

“Because it is! If you weren’t so distracting we could’ve left by now!”

“What? It’s not my fault you weren’t paying attention, and by the looks of it who can’t dance it’s you bec–”

The argument was cut off when Chani’s hands found your face and his lips crashed into yours. If someone had asked you what you’d have done if Kang Chanhee tried to kiss you, you would have probably replied with “Punch him” or something very much like it. But when he actually did, you found yourself kissing him back.

“Sorry” he said the moment you two broke apart, although his hands were still holding your cheeks softly. “I– I’m–”

“That was... unexpected” you breathed, a small smile forming in your lips. 

“I’m sorry” he repeated “I– Wh-Why are you like this?!”

“You just kissed me and you want to argue again?” you laughed. You had no idea of what made you so amused, not to say happy. Maybe it was the fact that he didn’t actually hate you.

“Yah... stop it!” his face was a deep shade of red “Let’s just... continue”

“Fine. I’m listening” you crossed your arms over your chest, still looking at him.

“What?”

“Say why you kissed me, Kang Chanhee” 

“Ah– just... Can you not?” he rubbed the back of his neck, still completely flustered.

“You know something? I may not be able to dance so well but YOU can’t confess!” you stated.

Chani stared at you for a few seconds, opening and closing his mouth several times without saying a word. 

“See?” you insisted. 

“Ugh okay! I like you, a lot... like seriously a lot, why are you doing this to me?” he pouted slightly, looking at you and then at the ground. 

“Because you’re an idiot” you replied “And you loved being a jerk to me just to hide the fact that you liked me too!”

“I just–! Wait, what do you mean by ‘too’?”

“That I like you! Otherwise I would have probably kicked you when you kissed me! Why are you like so dense?” 

Chani laughed, his shyness fading a little bit as he approached you again little by little. 

“You’re an idiot” you repeated.

“But you still like me, right?” he smiled.

“I will never call you sunbae, or oppa/hyung, you get that?”

“I’ll live with it” he finished before kissing you again.
