Summary: You are an emperor, and you have your own harem consisting of four consorts.

Pairings: Sub! Bottom! Zayne/Sylus/Rafayel/Xavier x Dom! Top! Gn! Reader

nsfw minors dni

They have different features and characters, each of which is a unique combination of beauty, strength and charm.

The first consort, Zayne was a skillful healer, known for his wisdom and insight. He was not only handsome, but also smart. His knowledge of herbs and medicines helped to keep you in good health, helping to stay full of strength and energy. He often gave you valuable advice in governing the state. He had a refined taste and exquisite grace. His outfits have always been made with elegance.

The second consort, Rafayel, has a passionate temperament and burning beauty. Something about him always makes him the center of attention in any room. He chooses the most precious fabrics and jewelry to emphasize his beauty. Rafayel spends his days perfecting the art of dance, demonstrating flexibility and ability to control his body. He was not only a talented dancer, but also a skillful musician. In the evenings, he plays the lyre, hoping to attract you with melodic sounds and his angelic voice. His talent was known far beyond the palace.

The third consort, Sylus is famous for his wisdom and deep knowledge of poetry and philosophy. Passion and temptation permeates his every movement and every word. His eyes burn with the fire of thirst, giving mystery. He is also a master of martial arts. His grace and dexterity delighted everyone who saw his training. He often quotes poems and philosophical thoughts, hoping to win your heart through mind and soul.

The fourth consort, Xavier is known for his innocence and sincerity. He wears light and bright outfits that emphasize his young beauty. Its beauty is emphasized by simplicity and naturalness. He likes to walk in the garden and pick flowers. He wants to attract you with his purity and innocence. His room is filled with the scents of fresh flowers and the soft light of candles since he every evening hopes that you’ll want to visit him.

They dress up in frank clothes that barely cover their bodies to better demonstrate the traces of your caresses - dark spots and red marks from love bites that cover their delicate skin with a marble pattern. Every sign you leave is considered a pride, and they do not hide them under their makeup, but show them out.

At public meetings, banquets, parties and most social events, your consorts properly stand right behind your back and will always accompany you. Their presence behind your back symbolized the unity and strength of the imperial family. They’ll hide their faces under face veil, leaving only their eyes open. Since childhood, they have been taught that their bodies belong only to the emperor, and this knowledge is deeply rooted in their minds. Because of this, they cannot get physical pleasure on their own, knowing that their purpose is to serve only you.

As an emperor, you are aware of the importance of fair and respectful treatment of your consorts. And you try to pay equal attention to them all, making sure that each of them feels loved and valuable.

Evenings in the garden with Xavier have become an oasis of calm and happiness for you. The garden has an atmosphere of peace and harmony created by the rustle of foliage, the singing of birds and the quiet murmur of the fountain. Xavier brings the book he chose in advance and sits on the soft grass under the shade of an old oak leaning against it. You settle down next to him, putting your head on his lap. His hands begin to gently stroke your hair. He opens the book and starts reading aloud. His voice, soft and expressive, fills the space around you. Closing your eyes, you enjoy every minute spent with him.

Sylus often asks you to practice with him. One of your rules was the following: if he wins, you will fulfill any of his wishes. He attacks quickly and deftly, trying to find vulnerabilities. You, in turn, fight back, always trying to keep a balance between defense and attack. However, despite his aspiration and skills, he has never managed to defeat you. You are always one step ahead. You know that the real goal of these trainings is not victory, but time spent together. And this ends with Sylus breathing heavily with his hands around your neck, feeling the warmth of your body. Your hands wrap around his waist, pulling him closer. His lips are warm, persistent, conveying all the passion that he may have been holding back for a long time.

Rafayel, dressed in light silk clothes, slowly goes to the center of the hall, illuminated by the soft light of candles. The sounds of darbuka and qanun begin to fill the space. Smooth waves run through his body, starting from his hips and rising up his spine. He skillfully uses his shoulders. His hands gently twist, repeating the curves of the melody, and his fingers touch the invisible strings, adding a touch of magic to the dance. His hips make graceful movements, synchronously swaying in the rhythm of melody. His body is the true perfection of beauty. Each muscle contraction, each movement emphasizes the ideal lines of his figure. The light of candles plays on his skin, creating a game of shadows and emphasizing every muscle. When he looks at you, it seems that time stops. His eyes are full of depth and passion, you can drown in them, forgetting about everything in the world. It's like they bewitched you, and you can't take your eyes off him. They reflect the whole world, full of mysteries and secrets that he is ready to share only with you.

In the majestic imperial palace, immersed in luxury and splendor, your life was surrounded by Zayne's care and attention. Not trusting the servants, Zayne personally followed every aspect of your daily life. It was his personal privilege and duty that he was proud of. Taking care of the emperor gave him some pleasure. He chooses your outfit for the day, also takes care of your hairstyle, skillfully styling your hair and giving it a neat look. He makes sure that consorts didn't bother you and asks you every night if you wanted to visit someone's quarters. Zayne takes care of his emperor with awe and love, trying to protect you from all possible troubles and worries. As a sign of gratitude for his tireless care and devotion, you often took his hands in your own and gratefully kiss them. Zayne was always embarrassed at these moments, looking away.

Their hearts are pounding in anticipation of your next choice, and each of them is eager to be in emperor’s quarters again. When they find themselves in your bed, their moans and screams become loud and passionate, breaking the silence of the night. It's not only an expression of their pleasure, but also a way to show others your closeness to them. They cry, clutching your cock buried deep inside them, and whisper through tears: "I'm y-your favorite, right?" Their voices tremble with emotions, and their hearts beat in the hope of confirming their uniqueness and love.

Their bellies become swollen from the amount of sperm inside their wombs. When you gently press on their stomach, white sperm flows out of their hole, and they whine, asking you not to waste it. Each of them dreams of giving birth to the first heir, who will strengthen his position in the harem and give him power and respect.

— THE HOGWARTS NEWSPAPER

˚　　　　✦　　　.　　. 　 ˚　.　　　　　 . ✦　　　　˚　　　　 . ★⋆. ࿐࿔

i’ve had this in my script and my drafts for a while, but i saw @beatrixshifts mention on my tl that it would be cool so that’s why i’m posting it >:)

(also, I did not come up with the name of the newspaper, i got it from another user yearsss ago, so cred to them !!)

“The Daily Prophet and their flobberworm of a head reporter can keep their drama— we don’t twist our stories to fit some stale Ministry narrative.” — The Editor-in-Chief of The Puffinton Post

THE PUFFINGTON POST is a chaotic yet strangely efficient operation run out of a repurposed classroom on the third floor (which is lovingly referred to as The Quillery.) run by a rotating team of overachievers, gossipmongers, and one sleep-deprived layout wizard, it’s both a battlefield of deadlines and the social pulse of the school. the editors use enchanted Quick-Quotes Quills to speed up production, though it’s anyone’s guess if the quills capture actual facts or just the juiciest version of the truth

HOW IT’S RUN

the team is led by an Editor-in-Chief (usually a loud, opinionated seventh-year), assisted by a handful of section editors who wield red-inked quills like weapons. each week, they hold heated brainstorming meetings, where the room crackles with enchanted floating parchment and enough spilled tea (literal and metaphorical) to fill the Great Lake. submissions are open to any student, but staff writers get first dibs on big stories—assuming they can charm the editors, who love a bit of drama

THE NEWSPAPER TEAM

REPORTERS . scout the juiciest gossip, biggest news, and weirdest happenings on campus. practically unstoppable, they’ll dive into the Forbidden Forest for a scoop if it means landing the front page

EDITORS . ruthlessly revise articles and argue over headlines, aiming for maximum drama without ending up on a professor’s radar

PHOTOGRAPHERS . armed with charmed cameras that capture moving images, they often risk life and limb chasing Quidditch players mid-match or snapping Peeves in action

ILLUSTRATORS . craft whimsical moving cartoons or hauntingly detailed sketches, depending on the tone of the piece

LAYOUT TEAM . use advanced spellwork to arrange articles, images, and enchanting advertisements that sometimes wink at readers

SECTIONS & NOTABLE STORIES

HEADLINE NEWS . covers Hogwarts’ biggest events. Recent splashy stories include “Are the House-Elves Planning a Union?” and “Hagrid’s Pumpkin Patch: A Site of Magical Growth or Magical Mischief?”

QUIDDITCH CORNER . tracks team stats, with columns like “Is Gryffindor’s Seeker Actually a Golden Snitch Magnet?”

SOCIAL SPOTLIGHT . a slightly catty, endlessly entertaining rundown of who’s dating, who’s fighting, and who’s been caught sneaking butterbeer into the Astronomy Tower

MYSTERIES & ODDITIES . a deep dive into Hogwarts lore, featuring pieces like “The Hidden Staircase That Eats Shoes” and “Who Really Haunts the Fourth Floor Lavatory?”

OPINION & SATIRE . snarky takes on everything from new potion regulations to the controversial topic of house unity, with regular features like “Why Ravenclaws Think They Know Everything” (written by a Ravenclaw)

CREATIVE SHOWCASE . poems, short stories, and student artwork, like “An Ode to Dobby” or fine-tip pen sketches of the Black Lake’s grindylows

DISTRIBUTION

The Puffington Post is distributed every Friday morning via enchanted paper airplanes that zoom directly to breakfast tables in the Great Hall. the magic wears off if you take too long to read, so dawdling isn’t an option. prefects often complain about students reading under their desks during Charms, but professors secretly subscribe, too.

SPECIAL EDITIONS (every one is a chaotic affair, jam-packed with so much Hogwarts spirit you can almost smell the butterbeer stains on the parchment)

— THE VALENTINE’S SPECIAL : Love, Lies, and Lacewing Potions

this edition is dripping with enchanted hearts and aggressively pink margins, with stories like “Top 10 Secret Spots to Swoon Your Sweetheart” and “The Most Romantic Love Potions You Absolutely Shouldn’t Use (But Totally Will).” the gossip column goes full throttle, outing secret crushes (with questionable accuracy), while the Creative Showcase features poetry so sappy even Madam Pince has been caught dabbing at her eyes

— THE FIRST-YEAR SURVIVAL GUIDE : Sorting, Snitches, and Surviving Snape

released every September, it’s a crash course for newbies. expect practical tips like “How to Get the Moving Stairs to Chill” and “10 Ways to Not Cry in Potions (Impossible, But Worth Trying).” veteran students contribute anonymously to the “Unofficial Rules” section, which includes gems like “Don’t Look the Bloody Baron in the Eye” and “If Fred and George Weasley Offer You Candy, Run.”

— THE YULE BALL EDITION : Fashion, Feuds, and Footwork

a glossy, glitzy masterpiece with enchanted images of past Yule Ball outfits and step-by-step charms for fixing last-minute wardrobe disasters. the Social Spotlight section is essentially a pre-ball betting pool on who’s showing up with whom, while Opinion dives into debates like “Should Durmstrang Boys Be Banned from Stealing All the Dates?”

— THE END-OF-TERM SPECTACULAR : Grades, Gags, and the Great House Cup Debate

published in June, it’s part celebration, part roast. professors get “awards” (like Flitwick for Most Patient and Snape for Most Likely to Kill You with a Glare), and there’s always a cheeky exposé on house-point shenanigans. expect tear-jerking farewells to seventh-years alongside brutally honest year-in-review recaps, like “Was That a Troll in the Dungeon or Just Another Tuesday?”

EXTRA, EXTRA !!

— RIVALRY . there’s a (very one-sided) feud with The Weekly Wizard, a smaller Ravenclaw-run zine, though it’s been dismissed by most students as “too niche and painfully dull”

— BEHIND THE SCENES . the staff always keeps a stash of Honeydukes’ chocolate for late-night edits, and their mascot—a tiny enchanted quill named Zippy—flits around leaving motivational doodles on unfinished articles

if Hogwarts has a pulse, The Puffington Post is the enchanted quill jotting down every thrilling, bizarre, and scandalous beat

Oath of Liberation: A Paladin Subclass for the Revolutionary Vanguard

In the sprawling cities and toil-worn countrysides of the realm, a new fire is kindled. Not of divine light in distant heavens, but in the hearths of the common folk and the sparks of defiance in the eyes of the oppressed. Here, a new kind of paladin arises—a warrior of the people, bound by an oath not to a celestial being or an ancient tradition, but to the promise of a world remade. This is the Oath of Liberation, a sacred vow to stand with the working class, to dismantle the thrones of tyrants, and to forge a new dawn of freedom and solidarity.

Paladins of the Oath of Liberation are the vanguard of revolution, combining the martial prowess and unwavering conviction of their order with the strategic acumen and fervent spirit of a revolutionary leader. They are found on the front lines of picket lines, at the heart of peasant uprisings, and in the clandestine meetings where the seeds of change are sown. Their armor is often practical, adorned with the symbols of their movement—a broken chain, a hammer, or the simple colors of the common people. To the downtrodden, they are beacons of hope; to the oppressors, they are the specter of righteous retribution.

Tenets of Liberation

The tenets of the Oath of Liberation are a radical call to action, a commitment to overthrowing unjust hierarchies and empowering the masses.

* Break the Chains. You are sworn to fight against all forms of bondage, be it the physical chains of slavery, the economic chains of serfdom, or the ideological chains of tyranny.

* Power to the People. True authority comes from the will of the collective, not the decree of a monarch. You must work to dismantle systems of oppression and place power in the hands of the working people.

* Solidarity Forever. Your strength lies in unity. You must stand in solidarity with all who labor and all who are oppressed, for their struggle is your struggle. An injury to one is an injury to all.

* Vanguard's Duty. You are the tip of the spear, the first to charge into the fray and the last to retreat. You must inspire courage, lead with conviction, and be an unwavering example of revolutionary zeal.

Oath Spells

You gain oath spells at the paladin levels listed.

* 3rd Level: Command, Heroism

* 5th Level: Pass without Trace, Shatter

* 9th Level: Beacon of Hope, Haste

* 13th Level: Freedom of Movement, Stoneskin

* 17th Level: Animate Objects, Destructive Wave

Channel Divinity

When you take this oath at 3rd level, you gain the following two Channel Divinity options.

Incite the Masses. As an action, you can use your Channel Divinity to unleash a powerful call to revolution. Each hostile creature within 30 feet of you that can see or hear you must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is frightened of you and up to a number of your allies equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of one) for 1 minute. An affected creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.

Unflinching Resolve. As a bonus action, you can use your Channel Divinity to bolster your allies. For 1 minute, you and any friendly creatures within 10 feet of you have advantage on saving throws against being charmed or frightened.

Aura of Solidarity

Starting at 7th level, you emanate an aura of unwavering unity. When you or a friendly creature within 10 feet of you is subjected to an effect that would cause them to be charmed, frightened, or stunned, they can use their reaction to immediately make a saving throw against the effect.

At 18th level, the range of this aura increases to 30 feet.

Vanguard's Advance

At 15th level, you have become a master of leading the charge and breaking enemy lines. When you use your Divine Smite feature, you can choose to forgo two of the radiant damage dice to grant yourself and a number of allies equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of one) within 30 feet of you the benefits of the Dash action as a bonus action on your next turn.

The People's Champion

At 20th level, you can assume the form of a living embodiment of revolution. As an action, you can undergo a transformation that lasts for 1 minute. You gain the following benefits:

* You have resistance to all damage.

* When you or an ally within 30 feet of you is reduced to 0 hit points but not killed outright, you can use your reaction to cause them to drop to 1 hit point instead. You can use this reaction a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of once).

* Your weapon attacks deal an additional 1d8 force damage. This damage is doubled against constructs and objects.

* As a bonus action on each of your turns, you can issue a rallying cry. Choose one friendly creature within 30 feet of you that can hear you. That creature gains temporary hit points equal to your Paladin level.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

Nightmare - Crown Prince of Durmous

Durmous - aka, the place the story is set in! - is the largest and most prosperous kingdom, famous for its robust economy, advanced infrastructure, and diplomacy. It’s a central hub for trade and intellectual pursuits, known for its universities and libraries, which attract scholars and diplomats from far and wide.

Customs & Culture: Durmous values peace and stability, with a strong emphasis on unity and legacy. Marriages are often arranged between nobles to keep alliances strong, but the kingdom is known for its tolerance and open-mindedness, particularly regarding individual freedoms. Durmous celebrates an annual festival in the spring, honouring life and renewal, which often includes public feasts, games, and the sharing of traditional songs and stories.

Religion: While the people of Durmous are free to practice any faith, the kingdom generally honours the Celestials, a pantheon representing wisdom, justice, and compassion. They believe the stars guide the fate of royalty, and it’s common to consult astrologers on major decisions.

Royalty: Nym, Nightmare’s mother and the ruling King, is wise and forward-thinking, renowned for her strength and diplomacy. She has a strategic mind and encourages intellectual and cultural growth. Nightmare, the eldest prince, has one sibling, Dream, who has a more emotional and idealistic temperament.

Architecture: Durmous boasts dark stone castles with high, spired turrets and elaborate gothic designs. The structures have pointed arches, intricate stained glass windows, and iron detailing. Buildings are arranged in an open, sweeping formation around the palace, giving a sense of controlled elegance rather than claustrophobic defence. Courtyards and gardens feature twisted, elegant iron benches and statues of mythical beasts.

Clothing: Durmous fashions lean toward heavy, rich fabrics like velvet, silk, and brocade in dark jewel tones—deep purples, emeralds, and midnight blues. The wealthy favour sweeping cloaks and high-collared coats with elaborate embroidery and gems. They love long sleeves, tall boots, and rings with dark stones, reflecting a sense of mystery. Even in common clothing, Durmous citizens prefer dark tones, which plays well with darker dyes like indigo and crimson from locally grown grapes and fruits. This makes Dream, with his preference for bright yellows and blues, unusual.

Climate: The climate is temperate but misty, with frequent fog rolling in from the mountains, making mornings and evenings cool. The temperate climate makes it perfect for growing rich fruits like apples, blackberries, and grapes, which are the kingdom’s main exports. Wines from Durmous are prized for their dark, full-bodied flavours, often enriched with spices traded from distant lands.

Diet: Durmous’s diet focuses on fruits, cheeses, pastries, dark bread, and preserved meats, with a special fondness for wine and cider. They’re known for their vineyards and orchards, with wines and ciders aged to a rich, complex depth. Meals tend to be hearty but reserved—Durmous citizens are sophisticated in their preferences, enjoying quality over variety.

Fauna & Flora: The plants and herbs native to Durmous include hemlock, belladonna, elderberries, and sage. The landscape around the castle is dotted with thorny rose bushes, ivy, and climbing blackberries, which reflect the dark and enigmatic culture. Animals in the kingdom include ravens, foxes, and large black hounds. The people of Durmous also dye their fabrics in hues taken from these plants, giving their clothing an earthy, moody tone.

Nightmare is seen as a cruel man. he is cold, dark, and drawn to all things macabre. More than one person has called him ‘evil’ before, a creature borne of complete darkness and negativity. it was widely believed that as a child, he was swapped out for a changeling. Nightmare doesn’t know why people see him the way they do; he doesn’t realise anything’s wrong? he’s just quiet, and prefers time to himself.

he enjoys reading a great deal, and spends most of his days in the library, reading books, playing the grand piano, writing, or tending to needle work. he is naturally very smart and book savvy, but less understanding of social circumstances.

He also seem to just KNOW things that people don’t, he KNOWS secrets you’ve never told people, and he can and WILL hold them over your head if needs be. there’s no doubt he will be a GREAT leader.

Nightmare used to escape the castle grounds as a child to take a book and climb a tree, to read alone, undisturbed by his hand staff or his brother who wants to play.

Both Dream and Nightmare dislike their Mother, the King, but constantly vie for her attention.

💖Eternal Embrace Legacy Challenge💖

-A Legacy Of Forbidden Love By @misssoully-

This Sims 4 legacy challenge focuses on the enduring power of love that transcends boundaries and defies societal norms. Amidst rival families, cultural differences, and societal pressures, follow the journey of a family bound by forbidden romances, determined to preserve their love across generations.

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

Basic Premise:

The legacy begins with two teen Sims from rival families or backgrounds who defy their families' expectations and societal norms to pursue a forbidden romance.

As the legacy progresses through ten generations, each heir navigates the challenges of maintaining their family's love and unity while facing external pressures and internal conflicts. Additionally, they strive to end the ongoing feud at some point during the generations.

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

Rules:

1. Forbidden Romance: Each generation must feature at least one forbidden romance that defies societal norms or familial expectations. These romances are predetermined for each generation.

2. Ongoing Conflicts: Maintain ongoing conflicts or tensions between the founding families throughout the legacy. These conflicts will influence their aspirations, traits, and relationships. Some heirs will attempt to stop the family's ongoing feud in certain generations.

3. Complete Rules: Each generation must complete its rules to advance to the next heir.

4. Mods and Custom Content: Mods and Custom Content are allowed and can add more spice and drama to the challenge, but they are optional.

5. Cheats: Cheats are only allowed when the first generation is living with their family and when they are moving into another lot to start the legacy challenge. Once they have moved out, no more cheats are permitted.

6. Money Tree: Each generation must have at least one money tree to represent their family wealth and crest.

7. Funds for Heirs: When each heir moves out of the house, they will have no funds to start with unless they have a part-time job. They can transfer the money they earned from their part-time job. Alternatively, use a spin wheel or a random number generator to determine how much money they should get from their parents, using a range of $0-$1,500.

8. Life Span: The life span must be set to the normal life span, with an additional 50 days for the elder life stage so they can live long enough to see their grandkids.

9. Occults: Occults are allowed if you want to have an occult love story while doing this challenge.

10. Lot Traits/Types: Each lot that the heir lives on must have the Simple Living lot trait. If you can't afford to buy a house, you must make the lot a rental until you have enough money to buy it, or you can live in the rental lot as long as you please.

11. Family Pet: Each heir must have an animal as a family pet.

12. Family Keepsake Box: Have a family keepsake box or any box that can store items.

13. Family Graveyard: Make a family graveyard for this legacy. If you are playing with vampires, this is optional.

14. More Traits Slot Mod: If you have the More Traits Slot mod, there will be an extra trait beside the rest of the traits with this symbol (+). You can choose any three traits out of the five traits that each heir must have.

IS TIME AN ILLUSION??

Blog#393

Wednesday, April 17th, 2024.

Welcome back,

Why is time controversial? It feels real, always there, inexorably moving forward. Time has flow, runs like a river. Time has direction, always advances. Time has order, one thing after another. Time has duration, a quantifiable period between events. Time has a privileged present, only now is real. Time seems to be the universal background through which all events proceed, such that order can be sequenced and durations measured.

The question is whether these features are actual realities of the physical world or artificial constructs of human mentality. Time may not be what time seems — this smooth unity without parts, the ever-existing stage on which all happenings happen.

To appreciate time is to feel the fabric of reality. I interview physicists and philosophers on my public television series, "Closer to Truth," and many assert that time is an illusion. What do they mean that time is "not real?"

Huw Price, professor of philosophy at Cambridge University, claims that the three basic properties of time come not from the physical world but from our mental states: A present moment that is special; some kind of flow or passage; and an absolute direction.

"What physics gives us," Price said, "is the so-called 'block universe,' where time is just part of a four-dimensional space-time … and space-time itself is not fundamental but emerges out of some deeper structure."

We sense an "arrow" or direction of time, and even of causation, he said, because our minds add a "subjective ingredient" to reality, "so that we are projecting onto the world the temporal perspective that we have as agents

Think of the block universe, which is supported by Einstein's theory of relativity, as a four-dimensional space-time structure where time is like space, in that every event has its own coordinates, or address, in space-time.

Time is tenseless, all points equally "real," so that future and past are no less real than the present.

So, are we being misled by our human perspectives? Is our sense that time flows, or passes, and has a necessary direction, false? Are we giving false import to the present moment?

"We can portray our reality as either a three-dimensional place where stuff happens over time," said Massachusetts Institute of Technology physicist Max Tegmark, "or as a four-dimensional place where nothing happens [‘block universe’] — and if it really is the second picture, then change really is an illusion, because there's nothing that's changing; it's all just there — past, present, future.

"So life is like a movie, and space-time is like the DVD," he added; "there's nothing about the DVD itself that is changing in any way, even though there's all this drama unfolding in the movie. We have the illusion, at any given moment, that the past already happened and the future doesn't yet exist, and that things are changing. But all I'm ever aware of is my brain state right now. The only reason I feel like I have a past is that my brain contains memories.

"Time is out there," said Andreas Albrecht, a theoretical cosmologist at the University of California, Davis. "It's called an external parameter — the independent parameter in the [classic] equation of motion. So, time — the time we know since we learned to tell time on a clock — seems to disappear when you study physics, until you get to relativity.

SHADOWS PART 1 - RAFE CAMERON X READER

Backstory: Childhood Bonds and Pogue Alliances

Y/N, Maddie, Kiara, and Sarah were all Kooks, their families close neighbors with deep-rooted ties. From childhood, they shared a bond that weathered through ups and downs, until Kiara's falling out with Sarah briefly fractured their unity. Maddie and Y/N intervened, bridging the gap and ultimately steering the four friends towards the Pogues.Despite their Kook upbringing, the foursome found solace and solidarity with the Pogues. Maddie, however, rarely joined their escapades due to her relationship with Rafe Cameron—a connection that strained her integration into their newfound circle. Y/N found her closest ally in JJ, whom she had been dating for three years since their introduction to the Pogues at sixteen.

As they gathered around the bonfire on the beach, their laughter mingled with the crashing waves, the incongruity of three Kook girls standing steadfast alongside Kiara and her Pogue companions was palpable. Their friendship was a defiance of societal norms, a bond forged by shared adventures and mutual trust.

JJ's hand tightened around Y/N's, grounding her in the present as they discussed their mission in hushed tones. The urgency of their task weighed heavily on Reader's mind—they needed to unravel Ward Cameron's secrets before his actions irreparably harmed their fragile community. Lives had been lost, innocence shattered, and the Pogues owed it to John B to bring justice and put Ward behind bars for killing his father.

Yet, there was a formidable obstacle in their path—Rafe, Ward's loyal and formidable son. Despite suspicions of his involvement in his father's schemes, concrete evidence remained elusive. They had tried everything, from coaxing confessions under the influence to failed seduction attempts by Kiara. Rafe remained steadfast, protected by his allegiance to his father and his relationship with Maddie.

Desperate for a breakthrough, they turned their attention to Rafe's closest ally—Topper Thornton. Born into privilege, Topper exuded confidence and entitlement, masking his deep-seated affection for Y/N, a childhood crush that had persisted despite their growing apart. His resentment towards JJ and the Pogues was thinly veiled, fuelled by jealousy and unrequited longing.

"I'm not sure about this," Y/N had hesitated, reluctant to manipulate Topper's feelings for their gain. Unbeknownst to the Pogues, Topper had harboured feelings for her since elementary school, treating her like a girlfriend in his own way, despite her attempts to keep him at arm's length. In junior year, their dynamic shifted after a pivotal party at Tannyhill, where Y/N's rejection of Topper's advances stung deeply:

Flashback - 2 years ago:

"Topper..." Y/N's voice wavered, torn between sympathy and the need to be firm. They stood in the dimly lit hallway, the faint scent of smoke and regret hanging in the air. Topper's eyes, clouded by substances and unshed tears, bore into hers with a raw intensity that cut deep.

"C'mon, Y/N," Topper pleaded, his voice cracking with emotion. "You know how long I've felt this way about you. I've loved you since we were kids. I could give you everything, anything you want... Just give me a chance."

His words hung heavy between them, filled with desperation and a fragile hope that Y/N struggled to extinguish. She reached out, a gentle touch on his arm, knowing her next words would devastate him further.

"Topper," she began softly, her heart aching with the pain she knew she caused. "You're like a brother to me. I care about you deeply, but not in that way."

Topper recoiled as if struck, his features contorting in anguish. "Not like that?" he repeated, his voice hollow with disbelief. "After all this time... You're with JJ now?"

Y/N closed her eyes briefly, unable to meet his gaze. "I... Yes," she admitted quietly, each word feeling like a betrayal. "I'm with JJ."

The silence that followed was suffocating, filled with unspoken regrets and shattered dreams. Topper turned away, a solitary figure in the hallway, his shoulders slumped with defeat.

"I need some air," he muttered, his voice thick with unshed tears. Without another word, Topper walked away, leaving Y/N to grapple with the wreckage of their friendship and the pain she had unwittingly inflicted.

As she stood alone in the hallway, the weight of Topper's heartbreak settled heavily upon her. She had lost a friend that night, perhaps irreparably, and the echoes of their conversation lingered like ghosts in the shadows of her heart.

Chapter: Rekindling Friendships

The evening breeze carried the scent of saltwater as Y/N, Maddie, Kiara, and Sarah gathered in Maddie's cozy living room. The soft glow of fairy lights cast a warm ambiance, creating an atmosphere that felt both familiar and tinged with anticipation. They had planned this carefully—Y/N's return to the Kooks' inner circle under the guise of a newly single woman.

Maddie poured a round of drinks, the clink of glasses punctuating the air. "To new beginnings," she toasted with a smile, raising her glass.

"To new beginnings," Y/N echoed, her voice steady despite the nerves fluttering in her stomach.

The conversation flowed easily among the girls as they caught up on the latest island gossip and shared anecdotes from their lives. Y/N listened attentively, her mind occasionally wandering to the task that lay ahead—approaching Topper and rekindling their friendship while gaining closer access to Rafe.

As the evening wore on, the group's laughter filled the room, a reassuring backdrop to Y/N's apprehension. Maddie caught her eye, a silent signal that it was time. Y/N took a deep breath, steeling herself for the pivotal moment.

"Hey, guys," Y/N began casually, her voice carrying across the room. "I just want to say... thank you. For being here for me through everything."

Maddie squeezed her hand in solidarity, a silent show of support. Kiara and Sarah exchanged knowing glances, understanding the gravity of Y/N's words.

"And, um," Y/N continued, her gaze sweeping over the group, "I know I've been distant lately. But I want you all to know that I'm here now. I'm back."

Her words hung in the air, laden with unspoken meaning. The girls nodded in understanding, their expressions filled with empathy and unspoken camaraderie.

Just then, the door creaked open, and Rafe Cameron stepped into the room with his trademark grin. "Well, well, well, look who's back," he teased lightly, his eyes twinkling with amusement.

Y/N felt a rush of mixed emotions as Rafe enveloped her in a warm hug, spinning her around playfully. "I'm glad you came to your senses," he whispered in her ear, his voice tinged with genuine warmth. "It's good to have you back, Y/N."

She smiled, masking her inner turmoil behind a facade of relief and gratitude. Rafe's acceptance meant she was one step closer to their goal, but it also stirred emotions she had buried deep, rafe had always looked out for her and her impending betrayal would take them to a place that they could never recover from.

As Rafe released her, Y/N turned to face Topper, her heart racing with apprehension. She hesitated for a moment, then closed the distance between them, wrapping him in an extra-long hug.

The room erupted in playful whistles and cheers, a chorus of approval from their friends. Topper's heart skipped a beat at the unexpected warmth of her embrace, a rush of emotions flooding through him. He held her close for a moment longer than necessary, savoring the fleeting closeness they once shared.

When they finally pulled apart, Y/N met Topper's gaze with a soft smile, silently conveying her gratitude and regret in equal measure. He nodded, a flicker of understanding passing between them before the group seamlessly resumed their lively conversation.

CURRENT TIME:

Driving Topper's truck with Rafe in the passenger seat and Topper and Maddie in the back, they arrived at Maddie's darkened house. Maddie was already fast asleep next to Topper when they pulled up, her peaceful slumber contrasting with the tension that thickened as they entered her quiet sanctuary.

Rafe and Topper helped Maddie inside, their movements quiet in the dimly lit hallway. Y/n excused herself, slipping away to the bathroom for a quick shower. The warm water eased the tightness in her muscles but did little to calm her racing thoughts.

When Y/n emerged from the bathroom, towel wrapped around her, she found Rafe leaning casually against the hallway wall. His gaze was sharp and assessing as it locked onto hers, a clear contrast to the relaxed posture he affected.

"Rafe," Y/n greeted, trying to sound casual despite the knot forming in her stomach. "Whats going on? Is everything okay?"

Rafe's expression tightened imperceptibly, his eyes narrowing slightly. "Topper's fine, just thought you should know" he replied tersely, his tone clipped. "He's minding his own, keeping busy."

Y/n nodded, sensing his guarded response. "Good to hear," she murmured, a hint of unease creeping into her voice.

Rafe stepped closer, his gaze intense as he fixed her with a searching look. "Listen, Y/n," he said in a low voice, his words carrying a weight of warning. "I know what you're up to. Don't underestimate Topper, and don't play games."

Y/n swallowed hard, meeting his gaze with a mix of apprehension and defiance. "I'm not playing games," she insisted, her voice steady despite the turmoil inside her.

Rafe held her gaze for a moment longer before stepping back, his expression unreadable. "Just be careful," he cautioned, his voice softer now but no less serious. "Things can get messy when lines get blurred."

With that, Rafe turned and walked away down the hallway, leaving Y/n to grapple with the weight of his words. She stood there, towel clenched tightly in her hands, her mind racing with thoughts of Topper, Rafe, and the dangerous game she found herself entangled in.

Undying Bonds (Part 14)

Pairing: Hongjoong x fem!reader, Seonghwa x fem!reader

AU: zombie apocalypse au

Word Count: 5.1k

Summary: What could be worse than being separated from the love of your life in a zombie apocalypse? Hongjoong was forced to leave you behind with his friend, Seonghwa, as he ventures out alone to search for the rest of his missing group members. Will Hongjoong be successful in his solo mission to find his members? Will he be able to return to you unscathed? And what happens when you're stuck with his caring best friend, who is hopelessly in love with you, for too long?

Part 13 | Masterlist | Part 15

"Attack."

Those were the last words your brain could register before your world turned into a complete blur.

It was chaotic as all the people around you immediately began scrambling about in an effort to shield you. Your trembling eyes remained locked with Minho's crazed ones as he took a step back in amusement to enjoy the show.

Seungmin stood helplessly beside him for a moment before running off somewhere quickly.

As the super zombie lurched forward, its grotesque features twisted into a malevolent grin, the group of determined survivors sprang into action. Each member had their own unique skills and weapons, and they were about to put them to the ultimate test against this formidable adversary.

You watch as your boyfriend sends his best friend a quick nod before getting into a stance ready to fight, signalling for the taller male to get you someplace safe.

Without hesitation, Seonghwa tightened his grasp on your hand and guided you swiftly into one of the many wardrobes scattered throughout the furniture store. Inside, the confined space offered a semblance of shelter from the impending chaos.

"Hwa, shouldn't we help?" He shook his head, "It's Joong's orders. Sometimes, the best thing we can do is to stay out of their way."

Meanwhile, the gang leader and the captain exchanged a wordless yet resolute glance.

In this dire moment, they put aside any lingering tensions and understood that their shared goal was to protect you and eliminate the zombie threatening your lives. It was a moment of unity in the face of overwhelming adversity.

Jeongin handed Chan some of the weapons in his hands as they all moved into the store to help the captain's friends. Mingi, with his axe, and Wooyoung, with his shovel, were kept busy trying to keep the zombie from moving any closer to where you were hiding.

With his strong leadership skills, Hongjoong quickly assessed the situation. He realised that direct combat with this monstrous creature might not be the best approach.

Instead, he grabbed a nearby fire extinguisher, aiming to use it as a makeshift smoke screen. He knew that obscuring the super zombie's vision would give his boys an advantage. With a swift pull of the pin and a squeeze of the handle, a thick cloud of white smoke filled the area, providing some much-needed cover.

Yeosang quickly moved in to pull Mingi and Wooyoung back into safety while the zombie was momentarily discombobulated.

As the smoke billowed around them, Yunho's keen senses kicked in. He had always been the agile one in the group, and now he used that agility to his advantage. Darting in and out of the smoke, he delivered quick, precise strikes to the creature's limbs, attempting to cripple it and slow its advance. His skills proved invaluable in this high-stakes battle.

Jongho had always been the brute force of the team, and he knew that sometimes sheer strength was the answer. With a roar, he charged at the zombie, swinging a newly obtained heavy metal pipe like a battering ram. His goal was to disorient the creature, knocking it off balance and giving his teammates an opening to strike.

With their skills being resourcefulness, Jeongin used his knowledge of the environment to set up makeshift traps, hoping to ensnare the zombie. Meanwhile, Jisung, armed with a crossbow, aimed for precision shots at critical points on the creature's body, trying to disable it bit by bit.

Feeling as though this all happened because of him, Bang Chan felt the weight of responsibility on his shoulders. He knew that he needed to protect you and the rest of the group at all costs.

With a cool head, he observed the chaos unfolding around him. Realising that brute force might not be enough, he started to formulate a plan. Using his tactical skills, he directed his members and some of Hongjoong's boys to coordinate their attacks, focusing on exploiting the super zombie's weaknesses.

Despite the overwhelming odds and the terror of facing such a monstrous opponent, the guys fought with unwavering determination and bravery.

They relied on each other's strengths and their own resourcefulness to fend off the super zombie. Whether it was using clever traps, unconventional weapons, or strategic teamwork, they were determined to survive this desperate battle and protect their loved ones.

Amidst the ongoing battle within the furniture store, Seungmin rushed off on a swift mission to fetch Changbin, Hyunjin and Felix.

Despite their typically distant relationships, the urgency of the situation compelled the scientist to believe that the remaining gang members could unite against Minho's dangerous scheme.

Slightly out of breath, he caught the three lounging in a dessert cafe.

Felix furrowed his brow upon seeing the scientist bent over, his hands propped on his knees, trying to catch his breath before stumbling into the cafe where they were enjoying some sweets before heading to rest for the night.

"Seungmin? What are you doing outside of your lab?" Hyunjin asks.

Okay, ouch. Way to make me sound lifeless.

The scientist resists the urge to roll his eyes, "No time to explain, there's an emergency! Minho hyung just released my latest prototype inside the mall. Chan hyung, Jisung and Jeongin are trying to fight it off with the new residents now. You need to come with me!"

Changbin shot up from his seat in shock, "What the f- why in the world would he do that?! Even regular testings are conducted at the loading bay, who in their right mind would think to release any of your experiments in here?"

Felix's face darkened, "It's because of her, isn't it?"

Seungmin nodded, "I think so, Minho hyung won't tell me anything but I think he got into a fight with Chan hyung because of her."

Hyunjin immediately moves to grab onto anything that could be used as a weapon around the area, sighing heavily, "I get that he's mad but isn't this a little much? Does he realise he's jeopardising everything we've worked so hard to build just because of his little tantrum?"

Changbin and Felix silently agreed with the tallest among them, quickly moving to do the same by grabbing whatever they could use to fight.

On the inside, Felix was fuming. Nothing good ever comes with your group, he could feel it since the moment he met Jongho. Things had been going so well for the gang and now, look at them. At the brink of falling apart all because of you.

But what he hated most was the fact that you'd reminded him too much of his late elder sister. All throughout dinner, he absolutely despised the way his heart squeezed painfully at the sight of you taking care of your friends. He hated the yearning to be on the receiving end of your affections like them.

Deep within, he longed for the comfort and care he once knew, but he understood that his role as a gang member left no room for such sentiments.

While Felix was upset with you and your friends for causing so much trouble since your entrance, Changbin and Hyunjin were more fed up with Minho's selfish behaviour.

The right-hand man may just be taking their motto a little too seriously since he clearly does not care for the consequences or aftermath of his own actions, and what it could potentially do to their gang and its members.

As they followed Seungmin to the furniture store, their hearts began to pound with anxiety. They were always the ones releasing their super zombies on victims, never the ones on the receiving end of such a terrifying encounter.

For once, the boys believed they finally understood how those poor survivors must have felt before meeting their tragic ends.

They still struggled to grasp the idea of one of their super zombies running free within District 9. And not just any other super zombie, it had to be the one they knew least about too. The second-in-command must have truly lost his mind to even consider pulling such a reckless stun.

Their hearts plummeted upon reaching the scene, the zombie was nothing like what they'd seen before. Seungmin had undoubtedly outdone himself with this creation, managing to strike terror even into the hearts of seasoned gang members such as themselves.

But what truly made their skin crawl was the twisted delight dancing in Minho's eyes. He watched, almost gleefully, as not just the new residents but also Chan, Jisung, and Jeongin fought for their lives.

Thanks to that, the boys begin to question their loyalty to Minho and his ruthless ways.

Lee Minho is the very embodiment of a deranged psychopath.

Amidst the tumultuous battle within the furniture store, chaos reigned as Hongjoong and Bang Chan tried their best to rally their members against the monstrous super zombie.

The abomination with enhanced strength, agility and chilling intelligence obediently followed Minho's commands, making it a formidable enemy.

The fight was relentless, with members from both sides clashing in desperate and deadly skirmishes.

All the while, Hongjoong and Chan kept a close eye on you, their protective instincts burning bright. You were hidden away in one of the wardrobes, your trembling form sheltered by Seonghwa's strong presence.

Sensing your immense fear, he pressed a kiss onto the back of your hand, "Hey, hey, look at me. I'm here."

Your heart fluttered at his actions, but before you could respond, your attention was suddenly drawn by the cries of pain. You turned to witness two figures grappling with their lower bodies trapped beneath a toppled cupboard.

Jeongin and Wooyoung had gotten hurt during the brutal clash with the super zombie. Your heart lurched in your chest, and you immediately moved to push the wardrobe door open, wanting desperately to help them, but your friend stopped you abruptly.

"No! What are you doing?" Seonghwa's steely determination prevented you from endangering yourself, "Hwa, they're hurt! I must help them," He shook his head firmly, "You will do no such thing. The moment you go out there, you're dead meat. You do realise you're the target, right?"

Realisation dawned on you, he was right.

"Stay here, I'll go," Your eyes widened in panic, "No, Hwa-" With a glare, he effectively shut you up, "Please, listen to me. I can't lose you, alright? Don't make this any harder than it has to be."

With reluctance, you obeyed his command and stayed hidden. You watched anxiously as Seonghwa, ignoring the pain in his abdomen, did his best to lift the cupboard in order to free the two boys whose legs were wedged underneath.

Then, disaster struck.

"Hyung, behind you!" You hear Wooyoung screeching loudly in fear.

The super zombie nearly reached Seonghwa, who was defending the injured Jeongin and Wooyoung. Panic coursed through you and without thinking, you rushed out of the wardrobe to help.

"No, Seonghwa!" Your desperate cry rang through the air, your voice instantly alerting Hongjoong. His heart plummeted as he realised you were no longer safely hidden. His eyes widened in terror as he spotted the charging super zombie, which was dangerously close to his best friend.

Your boyfriend reacted instantly, his feet propelling him towards you. Despite his immediate instinct to rush to your aid, the vast distance between you felt insurmountable. You were on the far end of the store, and it was tearing him apart that he most likely wouldn't reach you in time.

As you were reaching the three, Hongjoong was relieved to see that Chan had spotted you as he quickly assessed the situation.

Without hesitation, the gang leader moved to intercept the zombie's lethal charge. This was his chance to make up for everything he's done. If he has to die just to keep you safe then so be it, he would be more than willing to do so.

Anything for your safety and happiness.

Anything.

Squeezing your eyes shut, you threw your arms around Seonghwa from behind without hesitation as he attempted to shield Jeongin and Wooyoung, who were still stuck. He panics when he realised you were trying to protect him and immediately moved to pull you into his hold instead, but you refused to budge.

At that very moment, Jisung, sensing the imminent danger, leapt in between Chan and the super zombie. A gut-wrenching sacrifice unfolded before your eyes. Jisung bore the brunt of the zombie's attack, his brave act saving all your lives.

He staggered backwards and clutched his neck where the creature had taken a huge chunk off with its teeth, blood flowing out of the wound uncontrollably.

The creature's intentions loomed ominously but before it could further harm the poor boy, Mingi and Jongho finally emerged from behind to hold it back by its arms. The two forcefully pulled it away with gritted teeth while trying to avoid getting bitten.

Time seemed to slow down as Chan witnessed Jisung sacrifice his own life. He rushed forward, cradling the fallen gang member in his arms, gently laying him on the ground.

Jisung, of all people, had laid down his life to protect his leader.

Jisung, who had been stuck in detention for someone else's mistake, an injustice that Chan had recklessly ignored.

Jisung, on the brink of liberation, had been so close to fleeing District 9 and Stray Kids, so close to being free from Chan's grasp.

Now, he lay there, gradually losing his life to the relentless blood loss. What made it even more unbearable was that it was all because of Chan. He would never be able to forgive himself for this.

Meanwhile, Hongjoong and Yunho quickly swooped in to assist you and Seonghwa in lifting the cupboard off of the two boys, pulling them onto their feet.

Once free, Jeongin wailed loudly and stumbled towards Jisung, who was now lying weakly in Chan's arms, "Jisung hyung!"

"Chan hyung, I'm sorry for trying to leave without bidding you a proper goodbye. I've been a bad comrade." Jisung whispered an apology, his words making the leader feel guilt he'd never felt for any of his members before.

The gang leader shook his head furiously, tears streaming down his face, "You have nothing to apologise for. Why did you even save me, you idiot? God, you could've left with them. I didn't deserve it after how I've neglected you for so long! If anything, I've been a terrible leader."

Jisung offered a faint smile, "It's never too late to change, hyung. Perhaps you can learn to be a better leader and person now." Chan nodded tearfully, acknowledging the futility of the situation.

"And Jeongin-ah, I hope you'll be able to live the life that you want after this. You'll take care of him, noona, won't you?" You wiped away your tears, nodding, "Of course! Don't worry, Jisung."

Even though you had only just met Jisung moments ago, you could tell he was a decent person. You'd heard a little bit about him from Jongho before, you couldn't believe he was leaving so soon already.

Just like that, his life slipped away as the battle raged on around you.

You instinctively drew Jeongin closer into your arms as he sobbed miserably, his tears soaking into the fabric of your clothing, while Chan remained rooted in his spot, numbly swaying Jisung's lifeless form back and forth.

"Umm... guys? A little help here?"

Mingi's urgent yell pierced the sorrow-laden air, commanding the immediate attention of your friends.

Seonghwa and Wooyoung stood steadfastly by your side, providing silent support. Hongjoong, Yunho and Yeosang immediately went to assist the other two in their attempt to subdue the creature that was still thrashing wildly in their hold.

It was at that moment that Seungmin, Changbin, Hyunjin and Felix arrived to help the group, their presence momentarily turning the tide of battle. Even as they noticed Jisung's lifeless form in Chan's embrace, there was no time for mourning. If anything, the anger they felt was enough to fuel their determination to get rid of this monster.

Seeing Mingi and Jongho begin to grow tired, Changbin and Hyunjin take over the task of restraining the super zombie. Seungmin helped Felix load the shotgun handed to them by Yunho.

The scientist shook his head at the sight of his creation, still going strong despite all the apparent damages inflicted by your friends earlier. He didn't know if he should be feeling proud or ashamed of the abomination he'd produced.

With a heavy sigh, Seungmin nodded, his voice carrying a note of finality, "Finish it off, Felix."

A loud bang sounded across the store, and the creature fell limp. Together with Hongjoong's group, they finally managed to defeat the super zombie.

Relief surged through you like a tidal wave as you watched them drop the motionless zombie onto the ground.

Oh, thank god. Finally.

As the chaos of battle subsided and the frantic adrenaline began to ebb away, Chan found himself gripped by an overwhelming sensation of guilt. It was a heavy, gnawing feeling that settled deep within his chest and it was relentless.

He sat amidst the debris-strewn battlefield, his eyes fixed on Jisung's lifeless form cradled in his arms. The life that had once animated the boy was now extinguished and it was a direct consequence of Jisung's act of selflessness, sacrificing himself to save Chan.

Chan's mind replayed the events leading up to this tragic moment. He couldn't escape the stark realisation that he had been a poor leader, one who had allowed the bonds of camaraderie to wither and neglect to take root.

Jisung's face, now forever frozen in stillness, haunted Chan.

The same Jisung who had stood by his side through thick and thin, through countless trials and tribulations, had been pushed to the point of sacrificing himself for the very leader who had often neglected him.

The guilt weighed heavily on Chan's conscience.

He couldn't help but recall the times when he had dismissed Jisung's contributions, failed to acknowledge his sacrifices or simply taken his unwavering loyalty for granted. It was a painful introspection, and he felt a profound sorrow for not recognising Jisung's worth until it was too late.

As the leader clung to Jisung's lifeless body, he whispered apologies, his voice choked with remorse. He wished he could turn back time, rewrite the story and be the leader that Jisung truly deserved. But all he had now were the haunting echoes of his past neglect, mingling with the devastating reality of the present loss.

As the dust began to settle, the group slowly converged around Jisung's lifeless body. Grief and shock hung heavy in the air and for a moment, the one responsible for this gruesome act faded into the background.

With no one noticing, the gang's right-hand man, seethed with simmering fury. Betrayal coursed through him like a venomous river.

How dare his own gang members side with you, the outsiders? Even Seungmin, whom he had believed to be his loyal follower, had brought reinforcements to ruin his sinister plans.

It wasn't Jisung's sacrifice that particularly irked him; in some twisted way, it seemed like a small price to pay for his revenge. But things certainly would have been much more interesting if it had been you or your friends dying instead.

What truly infuriated him was the gang's audacity to stop their very own super zombie. They had defied his will, and Minho's control over the situation was slipping.

In his mounting rage and desperation, Minho drew his dagger, his eyes gleaming with madness. He was consumed by a burning desire to crush all opposition, convinced that he was the only one capable of executing his dark ambitions.

I swear to god, you can't rely on anyone to finish the job. I have to do everything myself around here.

As the group mourned Jisung's tragic fate, Minho saw an opportunity. In the midst of their grief, he stealthily navigated the chaos, drawing closer to you, who stood isolated from the group.

Ah yes, at least luck is still on my side.

His relentless pursuit led him to your side and in a swift, sinister move, Minho encircled your shoulders from behind, silencing your cry with a firm grip on your mouth. The cold, deadly edge of his dagger pressed menacingly against your fragile skin.

A small gasp escaped you, alerting the others to the unfolding hostage situation. They held their collective breath, inching cautiously closer, their hearts pounding in their chests.

"You didn't really think it was over now, did you?" Minho taunted, a malicious grin etching across his face as he threatened to extinguish your life, "Congratulations, you got rid of the zombie. But don't tell me you thought I was going to stop just because of that. I mean, I guess I'll just have to kill her myself then."

Time hung suspended as Hongjoong, Seonghwa, Chan and your friends stood paralysed, caught in the tense and perilous standoff before them. You see your boyfriend and childhood friend exchanged worried glances as they stood a few paces away from Minho.

"Hold on, Minho," Hongjoong began, his voice steady and laced with concern, "This doesn't have to go any further. Let's talk about this."

Chan nodded, his eyes locked onto Minho's, "Yeah, man. We can work this out. Just let her go."

Minho's eyes darted between the two leaders, a malicious grin still playing on his lips, "Talk? Work it out?" He laughed bitterly, "You both should've thought about that before you ruined everything."

Chan's voice remained calm, despite the tension in the air, "Look, Minho, I know you're upset about work being put on hold for a bit, but there's a better way to handle it. Violence won't solve anything."

Hongjoong chimed in, "Besides, we'll be out of your hair real soon just like you'd wanted. Just lower the weapon and things can go back to the way it was before we came along."

Minho hesitated for a moment, his grip on you trembling. You whimpered, feeling the edge of his dagger digging into your skin.

Hongjoong, though desperately trying to keep his cool, couldn't help but feel a surge of anger and worry at the sight of a small cut forming on your neck. Your frightened eyes met his and he offered you a reassuring smile, a silent promise that he was there for you.

I'm here, baby. It'll be okay.

The tension in the room was palpable and everyone held their breath, waiting for Minho's next move.

His eyes darted around at the determined faces of the gang members, who had gradually surrounded him. He realised that he was outnumbered, and his grip on you was slipping.

"You don't actually expect me to believe that, do you?" He muttered, his anger warring with desperation, "I heard what this bitch said to you, Chan. She asked you to turn Stray Kids into some charity nonsense and that wasn't even the worst part! You're actually considering it, aren't you?"

A small cry escaped you as Minho pressed the dagger deeper into your neck, drawing fresh blood. Your boyfriend's eyes widened, his voice pleading, "Please, don't!"

The gang leader froze at his second-in-command's words.

Suddenly, it all seemed to fall into place.

Minho had indeed overheard your conversation and this was likely the reason for his drastic and dangerous actions. Perhaps he had anticipated that this moment would spell the end of Stray Kids.

As this revelation hung heavily in the air, the rest of the gang turned their attention to Chan. They were desperate to know if what Minho had accused him of was true.

Was the leader genuinely planning to disband the gang and use their resources to do good instead?

Chan let out a heavy sigh, his voice carrying a weariness that betrayed his true feelings, "Yes, I'll admit I did consider it for a moment. But you have my word, Hongjoong and his group will be leaving soon, and things can return to normal, just as he said. If you let her go, we can sort this out."

That was a lie.

But in that critical moment, his only concern was getting you out of this dangerous situation unharmed. His focus was on protecting you above all else.

Tension hung thick in the air as Minho weighed his options, his face contorted with conflicting emotions. He desperately wanted to believe Chan, to have things return to the way they were before Jongho and you arrived.

All he had ever wanted was for things to go back to normal.

But Minho's anger flared as he observed the way Chan gazed at you, his eyes brimming with affection and concern.

It was sickening to witness and he couldn't find it within himself to forgive you for the turmoil your presence had unleashed. The way Chan looked at you told him that he might never truly let you go.

Promises of returning to normality didn't ease Minho's worries. He understood that just because the leader claimed things would return to how they were didn't mean it would last. There was always the lurking fear that Chan might eventually prioritise you over his gang.

"That's enough, Chan. I'm not buying any of your bullshit. Sorry to let you down, but she has to go." Minho's voice dripped with anger and mistrust, dismissing the leader's words as mere deception.

He tightened his grip on you, sending a shiver down your spine.

At that moment, the super zombie, which had appeared subdued, mysteriously sprang back to life, sending shockwaves of fear through the group. Seonghwa quickly ushered the younger members away, creating some distance from the now-resurrected creature, while the gang members prepared for another round of combat.

Unbeknownst to everyone, the creature's regenerative abilities had allowed it to survive the earlier assault, and it had not truly been defeated.

You couldn't help but sob in despair, feeling utterly helpless as you watched your friends brace themselves for another battle.

Behind you, Minho erupted in laughter, his tone malicious, "Oh, don't you just love surprises." You squirmed in his grasp as he whispered slyly into your ear.

Without warning, the super zombie twitched and convulsed, its grotesque form contorting in unnatural ways. Its eyes, previously fixed on you, now flickered erratically, displaying a disturbing mix of colours. A low, guttural growl emanated from deep within its throat while its eyes were now trained on a new target; its master.

Minho's laughter came to an abrupt halt as he watched in horrified disbelief.

The creature, driven by its malfunctioning systems, eyes locked on him, its gaze filled with an unsettling mix of rage and confusion. With a speed that defied its hulking appearance, it lunged in the direction of Minho and you.

"Stop. Stop, stop!" The right-hand man continuously recited the term meant to stop the creature, but it appeared utterly useless. This was the side effect that Seungmin had mentioned when warning him earlier.

With the super zombie's malfunction sending it into a frenzy, chaos reigned supreme in the dimly lit furniture store.

Minho's attempt to use you as a human shield only added to the pandemonium, as you struggled in his grasp, fear coursing through your veins.

Chan, acting on sheer instinct, lunged forward with a burst of speed and precision that was truly astonishing.

He grabbed you just in the nick of time, pulling you out of Minho's grasp before passing you to your boyfriend as the deranged second-in-command stumbled backwards, his shocked expression turning into one of pure terror.

Hongjoong's arms enveloped you, drawing you into a tight embrace as he realised just how close you had come to being lost forever. Over his shoulder, your eyes met Seonghwa's and in his tear-filled gaze, you saw the overwhelming relief that mirrored your own emotions.

The malfunctioning super zombie wasted no time. With a grotesque snarl, it leapt at Minho, its malformed limbs flailing wildly. Minho desperately tried to defend himself, his knife raised to fend off the creature, but it was too late. The creature's enhanced strength and agility overwhelmed him.

In a harrowing sequence of events, the super zombie overpowered Minho, its deformed fingers wrapping around his throat. Minho's eyes widened with a mixture of disbelief and horror as he gasped for breath, his once-dominant demeanour reduced to a frail shadow.

The gang members, witnessing the grim spectacle unfolding before them, hesitated for a moment. They had seen Minho as an intimidating figure, but now he was being mercilessly throttled by the very creation he had unleashed.

The reality was chilling, and it took a moment for them to process what was happening.

But they knew they couldn't stand idly by. With renewed determination, the guys launched into action once more. They surrounded the struggling duo, desperately trying to pry the monstrous hands of the super zombie away from Minho.

Jongho, Mingi and Yeosang, displaying their incredible strength, wrestled with the creature's limbs, attempting to free Minho from its deadly grip. Jeongin, Wooyoung and Yunho, fueled by adrenaline and anger at Minho's actions, searched for any vulnerability in the creature's horrific form.

Seungmin, Changbin, Hyunjin and Felix, still reeling from the earlier revelation, joined the effort. They wielded weapons with determination, striking the super zombie with calculated precision, each blow contributing to its weakening state.

Amid the frantic struggle, Minho's life hung in the balance. His face turned an ominous shade of blue and his gasps for air grew weaker. But the guys fought on, their unity and resolve stronger than ever.

Finally, with one last collective surge of effort, they succeeded.

The zombie's malfunctioning systems could no longer sustain its rampage. With a final, spine-chilling screech, it ceased all movement, collapsing onto the ground in a grotesque heap.

All the guys, exhausted and battered, stared at the lifeless creature before them. Minho lay motionless on the ground, his once-commanding presence extinguished forever.

The furniture store, once a battlefield, fell into an eerie silence.

In the aftermath of the brutal showdown, the guys of Chan's gang and Hongjoong's group exchanged solemn glances, their victory bittersweet. The price of their survival had been steep, and the memory of Jisung's sacrifice still weighed heavily on their hearts.

But as they stood together, united in the face of unimaginable challenges, they couldn't help but feel a renewed sense of purpose.

"It's over, my love. It's finally over." Hongjoong whispered to you, his voice a soothing balm. He pressed gentle kisses all over your forehead, his actions as much a reassurance to himself as to you.

Seonghwa, standing nearby, couldn't help but smile through his tears. He was just grateful that you were safe in Hongjoong's embrace and that this nightmare was over.

Believe me when I tell y'all, this was stressful asf to write. I wasn't initially going to update so soon but I really just wanted to get this over with huhu. As always, thanks for reading and I'd love to hear your thoughts! <3
