⤜MASTERLIST

In theory, working with a western artist seemed as though it was going to be a wonderful idea to help bring more attention to the boys. It had taken some convincing to get JYP on board with the idea but once he was things seemed to be taking off rather well. There was a slight issue with a language barrier but nothing you nor your team weren't able to handle. You'd been flown out on a trip all paid for by the company and you were being put up inside of a grand hotel. Even though you'd told them you would have been perfectly happy paying for it yourself, you were just excited about the opportunity.

When your manager had come to you with the idea you'd practically raced at the chance to do it and begged your company to allow it to happen. You were just short of getting down on your hands and knees to plead for the chance when they just agreed to it, they knew how much you loved the world of Kpop and it couldn't have gone to someone better. The collab was going to be between you and a group you had loved for a few years now, there was no way on this earth you were going to pass that up.

It had been challenging for the first week of working with Chan and Changbin, you were trying to get your jetlag in check as well as making sure you were working in their busy schedule. It'd been hard but worth it in the end when you finally got to speak with them both and express the ideas and wants that you wanted from the collaboration together.

The rest of the boys were all eager to meet you but Chan had wanted to do a small talk with you before you got to meet the rest. It was all about making sure you were going to be able to work well together. All week long it had been as though he was preparing you for what was going to happen when the time came. You knew he was just trying to do what was best and calm himself down but he didn't have to. You worked within a company that had lots of artists, you were used to being around loud people.

"I'm used to having people around me, you don't have to worry about it, Chan...My company is huge." You laughed as he looked at you with a worried glance. It wasn't as if he was worried that you were going to get annoyed with them but he was a little worried it might get too much for you. Or if you didn't get along well with them all. There were so many variables running around inside of his head he couldn't pin one down.

You, Jisung, Chan and Changbin were sitting inside a giant meeting room, the rest of the boys were outside too excited to wait anymore. It was finally time for you to meet them and some were a little more excited than others. The boys knew of Jeongin's crush on you and had been non-stop teasing him for it since they found out that they were going to be working alongside you.

"They can be very loud." Changbin laughed softly, looking at you as you shook your head at them. You could deal with loud, you worked around loud all of the time.

"And annoying," Jisung added as you whined at him, annoying wasn't what you found them to be when you watched them online. In fact, you'd always wondered what it would be like to be around them.

"I work in a company full of loud and annoying people. Please, you guys know what I've been like." You reminded them of all of the nights you'd spent in their studios this week, being a little overly loud and extroverted.

"We're just warning you." Jisung chuckled as you nodded your head, more ready than ever to meet the boys that you were going to be working with for the next few weeks.

"Okay, Binnie...Let them in." Chan instructed as you got up from the chair, watching the door as Felix walked in straight away. It was so surreal to see them all in front of you, your heart began to thump against your chest as you stared at them all. You allowed your eyes to land on your bias a little longer than the rest but you went back to looking at Chan who was now standing with them.

Once they were all inside the room they bowed and did their usual introduction making you smile bigger than you ever had. You never would have thought you'd be able to see the bow in person, you always imagined you'd only see it through videos.

"That's the most incredible thing ever, I never thought I'd see that in person." You admitted as you slowly let your inner fangirl out a little but it didn't seem to bother them, in fact, you could see it visibly relax Minho and Seungmin. They'd been a little worried that they would be put with someone who only wanted to use Kpop as a form of trying to gain attention since it was getting into the mainstream media more.

"As you guys know we'll be working with Yn closely and she wanted to meet you boys already," Chan explained in both English and Korean to them, you knew it was going to be like this. Your Korean wasn't quite up to scratch yet - but you were learning and your company had even hired a translator to go along with you. That way neither Felix nor Chan had to be by your side every time you needed to be with the boys.

"It's nice to meet you all, I can't wait to work with you." You said in Korean, bowing to each of them as you noticed Jeongin and Hyunjin smile brightly at the thought of you speaking Korean. It was something they'd been wondering about since finding out they were going to be working with someone outside of Kpop.

"Yn's Korean isn't as fluent as ours but we'll work hard to make sure she understands us," Chan explained again as you smiled. The last week with the 3Racha boys had been rocky to start with since there was a language barrier but nothing you couldn't handle. Your company had given you a teacher and a translator so you could learn while you were there.

"Let's all sit and talk about how it's going to work." You all took a seat and you smiled listening to Chan closely. You knew how everything was going to go down, you were going to be broken up into teams, a writing team, a dance team and a singing team.

While you were busy listening you hadn't noticed that Jeongin couldn't help but lock his eyes on you, from the moment he knew you were going to be working with them he'd been doing more of his English lessons. Practically begging Felix at the dorms to teach him as much as humanly possible before you got here. He was desperate to learn how to speak with you fluently without having to turn to the boys for some kind of help. He wanted to be able to talk with the one person he'd had a crush on for the longest time.

"You're staring," Hyunjin whispered to the younger member, you were too busy listening to Chan to notice anything else going on around you. Jeongin flushed turning to look at Hyunjin and back to you, you had your eyebrows knitted together as you tried to focus on some of the Korean words that Chan was using. Even noting them down in a little notebook you had in front of you, Jeongin thought it was adorable.

"I can't help it," He shot back at Hyunjin, his eyes drinking in your appearance while he could.

"She'll think you're a stalker." Jeongin rolled his eyes at Hyunjin before turning to look down at the notepad in front of him, it was filled with small phrases he knew how to say in English, as well as small phrases you could say back to him so he could understand. He was good at English but he wasn't exactly fluent enough to be able to hold a long-winded conversation with you without help.

"Groups Innie." Felix nudged the younger boy and he whined a little, turning red as he looked up to notice your eyes were on him. You smiled and he instantly stared down at the notepad, not being able to find the words to say. He'd completely bottled it and messed up his chance to say something to you at that moment.

A sinking feeling dipped inside of you as you realised your bias didn't even want to look at you, had you done something wrong? Maybe you'd not introduced yourself well enough. Your eyes slowly turned to look at Chan who continued with what he was saying.

"The groups will be 3Racha, danceracha, and Vocalracha. Yn is going to make her way through the groups over the following weeks while we get to work." The collab wasn't just going to be a song together, it was going to be a performance at your first award show and it was a big one at that. As a kpop fan, you knew how big the MAMA awards were and you were ecstatic when you'd been asked to perform with the boys on stage to debut the song. Though a little nervous since the choreography was something you struggled with sometimes but you had faith Minho would teach you wonderfully as well as the other boys.

"It'll be a whole performance piece, so we need choreography at the top" Chan continued to go out but you were busy focussing on something else entirely. If Jeongin didn't like working with you how were you going to be able to work closely with one another when it came down to vocal training. Your head began to fill with worried as you looked over at Jeongin who was refusing to look up again, instead his eyes were glued down to the notepad.

"You're worried?" Chan asked as you stopped outside of a studio, it was the first time you had been worried since coming to work with them all. You'd just mentioned you were a little anxious about being alone with Vocalracha but you didn't tell him the reason. You didn't want to fuck up everything by telling him that your bias was Jeongin and you were scared he hated you.

You'd just been composing lyrics with 3Racha while they tried to come up with a backing track, something you'd been doing for the last week. While Jisung was quick with his lyrics you had been a little slower to come up with your own words to go along with them and now it was time for you to practice your vocals.

"A little..."

"If it's the language thing, I can stay with you?" He suggested but you didn't want that you knew that Chan had something he needed to get on with so you were going to have to suck it up.

"N-No, it's not that. I'm just...I'm too in my head," You smiled trying to convince him that it was all fine. You stared at the door taking in deep breaths as you tried to convince yourself this had been all in your head that morning. There was no way that Jeongin hated you since you hadn't even spoken to one another yet, you were just being overly cynical of yourself.

"Boys?" Chan called out as you walked into the room with them, glancing over at Seungmin who was standing up and greeting you. Your heart seemed to relax a little when you saw him on his own,

"Lovely to meet you Seungmin," You spoke as you shook his hand, eyes glancing around the room to see if Jeongin was out.

"You too, Jeongin is just warming up." He explained as he pointed over at the small adjoining room where Jeongin was warming up his voice in the soundproof room. The small glass window showed you just how hard he was practising, a vein in his neck was showing as he sang out into nothing. You smiled a little, watching him as he worked there was just something about watching him that made you relax a little.

"Great. Yn is a little nervous, you'll look after her right?" Chan asked, dropping you in the fact that you were nervous when you wanted to keep it hidden. You were supposed to be a calm and composed celebrity like them but you couldn't help it.

Seungmin nodded at Chan and smiled as he left you both alone with each other...and your translator who was ready to jump in whenever you needed him. You hoped you would be able to keep the conversation strong, you knew Seungmin was good at English and you hoped your Korean was good enough for him.

"How long have you been into Kpop?" Seungmin asked as you both sat down on the sofa, he knew he was going to have to try and make small talk while Jeongin was busy.

"A few years, a friend introduced me to it and I've loved it ever since. You're all so hard-working," You explained as he smiled brightly at you, his braces showing as you couldn't help but smile back at him. It was something infectious about it,

"You are too, we love your latest work," He told you with a bright smile, deciding against teasing Jeongin for the moment since he'd been non-stop playing the album all week long. You seemed to relax a little as you looked at him, at least this was going smoother than you thought it would.

Truth be told, you were exactly the best at small talk and meeting new people and you had been worried it would be overly awkward between everyone.

"Really? T-Thank you, I love all of your works. I always look forward to seeing a new Skz-Player or record, they're some of my favourites." You admitted as he chuckled a little, Chan had mentioned that you were a big fan of theirs which was something they were excited about.

The two of you conversed back and forth with one another, finding it a little less awkward as more time passed. Your translator would step in whenever you needed him and you began to feel at ease around Seungmin. Jeongin on the other hand was jealous as he stared through the window at you and Seungmin together. All the while he'd been practising he had to sit and watch you both together, your hand on Seungmin's knee whenever he would make you laugh so hard you'd throw your head back. Jeongin wanted to be the one to do that to you, he wanted to be the one you would feel carefree around.

You were sitting facing each other and laughing at something he couldn't hear thanks to the room that he was in. Jealously bubbled inside of him as he realised how easy it was for all of the boys to speak to you, meanwhile, he felt himself getting frustrated whenever he couldn't find the words to speak. Just like earlier in the conference room when he'd messed everything up.

He'd wanted to say something but instantly kicked himself when he seemed to lose all of the words he thought he knew in his mind. Even now as he stood at the door trying to gather himself together he knew he was nervous. You were about to be alone with one another while Seungmin took some time to warm up.

"Innie...Are you going to come out? It's my turn to warm up," Seungmin said casually as Jeongin nervously came out of the room, giving you a small wave. You waved back at him as he began to flush a little, it was a step in the right direction since that morning he'd barely looked at you.

"She won't bite you," Seungmin whispered pushing him over to the sofa and quickly heading inside of the room so he didn't have to listen to Jeongin and yourself be a little awkward with one another.

"Seungmin mentioned you're working on a new skz-record..." You didn't know where to start with him, you suddenly felt as though you were a fangirl sitting across a table from her bias. The confidence you'd gained while sitting with Seungmin washed away from you completely. Jeongin stumbled over words in his head as he looked at you, once again he'd lost every word in his mind.

"Erm...Yeah...Just-" Jeongin sighed as he looked up at the ceiling as if the words were written up there and he was trying to pluck them down. You bit down on your tongue, you knew how awkward it must have felt for him so you tried to lessen it just a little.

"Can I know which song?" You asked in Korean shocking him a little as he turned back to you, his eyes wide as he nodded his head. He was trying his best to speak to you, trying to picture you as just one of the boys or even one of the girls from another group but it was hard.

Jeongin knew everything about you, in the least creepy way possible but he'd been following you since your first single and he loved your music and you as a person.

"Day6 I smile." Your hands clapped together at the name of the song, it was one of your favourite songs by the group but Jeongin knew that. It was one of the reasons he had picked it. That and he knew Seungmin had his love for covering Day6 songs.

"I love that song, can I hear?" He blushed a deep colour as he thought about playing you the song they'd recorded but he hadn't bought his laptop with him so he took in a deep breath. Closing his eyes as he tried to imagine that he was just in the room alone,

If you didn't know any better you would have thought you were dreaming, your bias was singing one of your favourite songs to you and you knew what he was saying. The lyrics had been one of the first you'd decided to try and learn since you found song lyrics easier to remember. Taking in a deep breath you looked at him as you began to sing along with him, doing your best to stay in tune.

Jeongin could have sworn his heart was about to explode as you joined in with him, his eyes shot open as he looked at you. His whole chest felt as though it was expanded three times too big for his own body.

"Today, I smile. Even though it hurts, I smile...Till the last moment with you," His eyes locked with yours as you continued to sing together, your voices fit so perfectly together. Though he did find it a little hard to stay in time with you, especially since all he wanted to do was stop and listen to your beautiful voice.

"This could only be sometimes, That I get to see you. I have to, I smile." You both finished and his mouth fell open, not knowing what to say to you after that. You felt your body heating up as you looked at his shocked expression,

"I-I told you it was my favourite." You let out a small giggle and it was like heaven to his ears, something he'd only ever heard over videos or in music videos but in person, it was so much better. You were so much better, so much better he could barely think of words to express how great you were.

"Are we singing a ballad this week?" He suddenly asked in English shocking you a little but you shook your head, you opted for something a little more upbeat than a ballad.

"It's a little more upbeat than that," You admitted as you took your phone out, playing the beat to the song the boys had been working on and he smiled nodding his head in time to it.

"Lyrics?" You could feel your body beginning to heat up as you thought back on something you had been working on. You'd been working on lyrics that symbolised that you had a crush without giving anything away. You'd been using Jeongin as your inspiration but it wasn't as though you could just admit that to him,

"M-My part...Is erm...It's-"

"A secret," Jisung said from the door as he smirked at you both together he'd been putting bets on whether or not Jeongin would have the courage to speak to you or not. Jeongin clenched his fists at his side when he noticed his older member walking into the room. He was finally beginning to feel a little more confident with you in the room and now it was all ruined because you weren't alone.

"Hey, he can know if he wants to." You pouted but Jisung shook his head at you.

"Your part is a secret until we play it for them." You rolled your eyes at him, there was no way he was going to be able to keep it a complete secret. Surely they would want the other boy's opinion on certain verses.

"Or Until you change it at the last second." You teased as you shook your head. Jisung and you had built a friendship that seemed to steam from teasing one another playfully, it felt as though you had a friend by your side.

"Or Until I forget them on stage and make them up." You laughed softly but Jeongin didn't seem to find any of it funny. In fact, it annoyed him that Jisung seemed to speak to you with so much alleviation and even have a flirty repartee with you. You slowly got up from the sofa and headed toward the room Seungmin was in, it was time you warmed up before heading to the dance studios.

"Hyung, we were talking," Jeongin mumbled once you were out of earshot, Jisung looked down at Jeongin in shock. It wasn't often that the maknae got mad but he could tell he was right now,

"So were we..." Jisung said slowly, he didn't want Jeongin to think that there was anything more than that between you and him. He knew of the crush he had on you and he wasn't going to hurt the younger member by doing something he didn't like.

"You know I have a crush on her."

"And that means I can't be friends with her?" Jisung quizzed, making sure to put the emphasis on the fact that you were being friendly with each other and nothing more.

"N-No...But...But I was just getting confident and you came in and ruined it." Jisung smiled weakly at the younger boy before looking at you through the glass.

"Relax...You'll have more time with her...Soon," He promised already knowing that you and Jeongin were going to have a verse together in the song.

As weeks went by Jeongin was getting more and more confident around you though his jealousy of the other boys began to intensify. You were spending more and more time with the other members and less time with him. Then when you did finally get to spend some time together you always had someone with you, your translator or one of the boys would force their way to sit with Jeongin. It was as if they didn't want you to be alone together and it further annoyed him more.

"Jeongin, you haven't eaten," Chan mentioned as he noticed the food still sitting on Jeongin's plate, he'd barely touched anything all week. Jeongin didn't want to eat whenever you weren't around him, it was a weird feeling that he got inside.

"Do you feel sick?" Chan questioned curiously, before Jeongin could answer Minho smirked and did it for him.

"He feels sick whenever Yn isn't around. He wants to be near her all of the time," Jeongin glared over at Minho and shook his head, he wasn't going to admit that to any of them. It wasn't just because you weren't around, he just felt down whenever you weren't with him and it was starting to impact him a lot.

"Not hungry," He grumbled getting up from the table and heading out of the canteen, the boys watched him closely and Chan nudged Minho with his elbow, silently scolding him for teasing Jeongin.

Ever since you'd gotten here he'd been taking more and more English listens with the boys, doing his best to learn what he could as quickly as possible. It wasn't difficult to put together that he was feeling down about not getting to be alone with you a lot.

Meanwhile, you had been doing the same with your Korean teacher and with Felix since he was the only one you felt confident in telling that Jeongin was your bias. Felix had also told you to just tell Jeongin the truth but you held off for a while, not wanting to make things difficult.

"Innie?" You called out as you passed by him in the hall, his heart lept into his throat as he turned to look at you.

"I was just going to eat, do you want to come with me?" You asked, pointing over at the canteen but he didn't want to go back in there. He knew if he did the boys were only going to tease him more for it so he thought on his feet.

"There...There's a small place down the road, we won't get seen if you want to go there." Alone? With Jeongin...Alone with your bias? It was something you'd been dreaming of doing since arriving here so you glanced to your translator. You were finally confident enough to talk without him so you dismissed him to go and do whatever he wanted,

"I'd love to...Can we get Korean barbeque?" You walked to his side and he could have sworn he felt a rush of sparks fly from the close proximity he had with you.

"Sure," He chuckled as you both put on your masks, pulling up your hoods as you headed out into the busy street instantly blending in with other people that were around you.

Jeongin knew neither of you would be spotted inside the restaurant, it was a place frequented by idols and the owners kept reporters and fans out at all costs.

"I've never tried it," You admitted as Jeongin showed you how to fold Ssam up, proceeding to push the full leaf into his mouth and almost choking as you giggled at him. He hadn't expected you to hold eye contact with him while he ate the whole thing,

"You look like that pokemon...W-What's the name?" You groaned, putting your ingredients into your lettuce leaf while giggling a little as you tried to think of the pokemon he looked like.

"Weepinbell!" You cheered out before doing the same as Jeongin, doing your best not to choke on the food as he watched you closely. The two of you had ordered all different kinds of meats for you to try since it was your first time trying food outside of the JYP canteen and your hotel. You'd been sitting here for what felt like mere minutes but neither of you had noticed it was late outside and your phones had been blowing up with messages.

Right here it was just the two of you in your own little bubble that neither of you wanted to pop. Neither did the owners, when they'd gotten a call from a worried Chan they assured him that everything was fine and the two of you were eating together. Chan relaxed a little happy to know he hadn't lost a member and a friend in the middle of Seoul.

"Thank you for this," You told Jeongin as you finished your mouthful, smiling at him as he shook his head. There was no reason to thank him for taking you out to eat, you'd been working out all morning you needed something in your system.

"For what? I took you to get something to eat," You smiled at him as you shook your head, it wasn't just that he'd taken you to go and get food. You had been dying to get out of the hotel and JYP building for weeks but you barely had any time to do so. If you weren't with the boys you were working out and if you weren't working out your manager wanted updates.

"Taking me out, it's nice to get a break. I've been wanting to sightsee for a while so I've gotten a little of that done." You mentioned. Jeongin had noticed you staring up at huge buildings as you walked through the streets and he felt bad that you'd mostly been working while you were here and he bit down on his lip.

"What if we went out this weekend? I can take you to all my favourite places...We can do it the day after the performance." Your heart practically jumped into his hands as you nodded your head at him, more time alone with him sounded perfect. You'd been desperately trying to ditch your translator and the boys whenever they were around so you could get some, one on one time with Jeongin.

You'd had time alone with the others but never with Jeongin.

"You wouldn't mind being alone with me?" You quizzed, looking down at the meat that was cooking and Jeongin frowned. Why would he mind it?

"Not at all, I-I like spending time with you." He stumbled over his words a little and you glanced back at him and felt a little weight lift from your shoulders. Most of your time spent together had been with the boys, it always felt as though he needed someone there.

"I thought maybe you didn't want to...With the boys always around I took it as a sign you didn't want to be alone with me." Jeongin's heart felt like it was crushing, he couldn't believe you felt that way.

"Not at all. I wanted to be alone with you...I was just a little too nervous to say anything," He poured you some water as you smiled at him, looking down at the glass. It was now or never.

"I want to admit something," You said slowly before taking your glass into your hand and sipping on the water. Your mouth was dry since you knew what you were about to admit to him.

"Go for it," He urged, sliding some meat onto your plate, you looked at it before staring back at him. You just had to remember that Jeongin did like to spend time with you and that you wanted to be open with him.

"When we first met, I thought you hated me..." Jeongin's hand froze on his chopsticks and he slowly moved his gaze from the meat and up to your face.

"Hate you? Why would I hate you?"

"I don't know...I just- I was so nervous about meeting you and I thought you were going to hate me." He laughed a little, none of the boys was ever going to be able to hate you. You were such a warm person that they couldn't help but feel invited into your space and friendship.

"You didn't have to be nervous about meeting us." He mentioned, only thinking you were nervous about all of the boys but that wasn't the case. The rest of the boys had felt easy compared to Jeongin and you knew the real reason.

"N-Not all of you...Just you, Jeongin..." You put some meat into your mouth, too afraid to meet his gaze but Jeongin was confused.

"O-Oh." He frowned, not following along with why you would be nervous to meet him. You looked at him and smiled shyly, hoping he would be able to take the hint.

"Oh!" He yelled out a little as he finally realised what you meant, you laughed a little beginning to burn up as he stared back at you. For a second you felt sick, did he hate you now? You'd basically just told him you had a crush on him and he hadn't said anything yet. His cheeks burnt as red as the tomatoes on his plate as he tried to think of something to say but nothing was coming out.

Words formed inside of his head but refused to fall from his lips.

"You're my bias." You added just in case he didn't get it but he nodded his head at you,

"If I'm being honest...You're my bias too." You laughed a little before feeding him some of your meat, your whole chest tingled as he looked back at you with complete adoration in his eyes.

"So if...If I said this weekend would be a date?" He suggested, turning over the meat so that it wouldn't begin to burn.

"I would be more than okay with that," You beamed as he blushed even more, his mind already racing to come up with where he was going to take you first and how he was going to spend the day with you.

"Perfect, I'll make sure we have fun," He told you before you pressed a kiss to his cheek.

The performance had gone perfectly and you and the boys had rocked it perfectly, Jeongin slowly got the hint of what your lyrics had meant and that they had been directed at him. The two of you had spent the day going through a whole checklist of things you wanted to see and do. You'd even managed to convince Jeongin to go on the Zipline with you to Nami Island. Though he hadn't been too sure when you first asked him to do it with you.

"You want to know a secret?" You asked as you both walked along the Nami Island pathway, holding snacks in one hand and his hand in the other. It might have been too soon to think of the number one rule but you couldn't help it. With every second you spent with Jeongin you found yourself falling deeper and deeper into a hole with him and you never wanted to climb back out.

Today had only confirmed your ever-growing feelings for Jeongin and you hoped he felt the same way as you. The small touches you'd given to each other were evidence enough that he liked you but you needed more than that. You wanted a relationship with him but only if he was willing.

"Go for it," Jeongin said as he looked at you, your eyes were already on him. The two of you stopped walking and moved off the pathway so people were able to get past you easier. Your heart raced in your chest as you felt a little sick. If you said this and he didn't feel the same way it would be fine, the performance was over and you could go to your hotel and wish the day away. But if he did feel the same you...Well, you weren't sure but you'd probably feel as though you were floating on a cloud.

Since your Korean Barbeque date, the two of you spent more time together, even going to the dorms instead of straight back to your hotel room. You finally felt comfortable with each other enough to relax and be yourselves.

The two of you worked well together and had bonded over many different things and you prayed you weren't the only one feeling the connection.

"I think I'm going to end up breaking the first rule of kpop with you." You struggled to get the words out but when you finally did he tilted his head to the side. Clearly not following along with whatever that meant, so he began stealing some of the candy floss you were holding as you let out a small giggle. It wasn't your usual one which meant you were nervous, Jeongin knew all of your signs by now.

"Which is?" He urged you to continue and you swallowed the lump that was in your throat. It wasn't as if you were telling him that you were in love with him. Just that you knew you were going to be eventually,

"Not to fall in love with an idol." His heart stopped beating at that moment as he looked at you, his eyes dancing between your lips and your eyes. He'd been dying to kiss you all day and now he needed to do it.

"Can I?" He asked as he looked at your lips again,

"Please," You practically begged as he moved closer to you, his head tilting to the side as you connected your lips with one another. It was soft and pure as you both adapted to kissing one another, your head was spinning as you felt explosions happening all over your body.

It was as if every hair on your body stood up to attention but you didn't care, you carefully wrapped your arms around the back of his neck bringing yourself closer to him and he smiled. The bag and candyfloss you were holding dropped to the floor as you put every feeling you had for him into this kiss. Jeongin whined as he wrapped his arms around your waist and gently pushed you up against the trunk of a tree.

At that moment the chemistry between you began to implode as you kissed, your lips moving in perfect harmony. Neither of you ever wanted it to end, your hands making their way into his hair as you pulled softly on the strands.

It didn't feel like it did in the movies, or how it was described on paper. This was full of promise that you felt the same way for one another and realness between you. Filled with a primal desire that you had for each other and an unspoken promise that this feeling was never going to end.

Pulling away you leaned your forehead against his, panting heavily as you looked at each other letting out small breathless laughs.

"I-If it wasn't obvious enough, I might be breaking a rule too." He breathed, looking at you as you put your hand onto his cheek stroking it gently with your thumb.

"Which is?"

"Don't fall in love with a celebrity." He teased as you let out a laugh, leaning back against the tree as you both stared happily at one another.

“T-Take me back to the hotel,” You whispered breathlessly as you ran your hands down his shirt, his heart rapidly beating against your touch as he looked at you,

“You can spend the night right? You don’t have work tomorrow?” You asked as he let out a low moan, he knew exactly what you were hinting at.

“I’ll call in sick,” He whined before kissing your neck, not being able to keep his hands to himself anymore as he pulled at your clothes completely forgetting where the two of you were for a minute as he lost himself in your touch.

Though the relationship was full of challenges the two of you made it work, going to visit one another whenever it was humanly possible. If the love between you was strong enough it was going to make it through a distance and it was. Three beautiful years of a relationship together and you were getting ready to tell the media the truth about your "friendship" as they saw it. Though you already knew some of your fans and Jeongin's were putting the pieces together.

"You ready?" Jeongin asked as you stood backstage together, his hand resting on your lower back as he checked that you were absolutely sure about the way you were going to announce this. On stage, in front of your fans and his as you sang a ballad the two of you write together for each other.

"More than ever," You whispered as he leaned across to kiss your lips softly, the lights flashed on and music started as your sign to start walking. You were going to do this as long as you had Jeongin by your side, with him by your side you always felt as though you could take on the world.

"Here," He whispered locking his hand with yours as you began to slowly walk out onto the stage, laughing a little when you heard the eruption of cheers come from everyone that saw your hands locked together.

Shinee fucking ran so that kpop could walk and those are just the facts that everyone should accept.

They debuted when kpop had a very specific style and concept of what young boy groups could do in order to sell but Shinee really knocked on the doors with replay and as soon as they opened, they deadass shot out Lucifer and Ring DD and no body was prepared lmao.

They legitimately redefined kpop and I really don’t think they get enough credit for that? FROM DAY ONE, they had the most intricate and class choreographies in kpop. There’s a reason why shinee are called performance legends. It’s because you can pick any damn shinee choreography and it’s just so amazingly well executed; Not to mention they’re the first kpop idols who started releasing choreography practice videos and dancing without backup dancers which as y’all can see, has become the norm now.

Also, TILL DATE Shinee had the most packed schedule for any kpop rookie group ever. They were out there performing for 8 hours and then going back home just to rehearse for another 8. Their success was so unexpectedly high and they were literally teenagers handling all that fame. Taemin was a literal child with a bowl cut ffs. Also, don’t come for my bowl cut children, they looked PRECIOUS in the replay MV.

Even as early as 2011, Shinee being known as variety show and pilot experts because they’re naturally so funny and have a bond within them that easily puts people at ease and makes for one crazy episode with no chaos or anything “extra” per say. Just shinee being shinee is enough. In an industry where idols don’t even react to other female idols at award shows cause of the knetz, ya bois, Taemin and Minho really went fuck it and did whole collab stages with Sunmi and Yuri. The flex. Not to mention the way Shinee and especially Jonghyun & Taemin said a huge Fuck you to Korea’s oh so precious “masculine aura” and just went on with releasing pretty boy and Taemin saying makeup isn’t something for girls and that makeup is for all genders, a legend.

The way Shinee had fans in countries like Dubai, Russia, India and many many others at a time when kpop really wasn’t a thing? It was just Korean music for Koreans but shinee went ahead and did their thing and it broke language barriers as if they were air. It’s 2020 and Barack Obama talking about shinee still feels like a fever dream to me tbh.

Not even mentioning anything else now BUT just their music and it’s impact man?? The way shinee put out ALBUM after ALBUM with no rest and the fact being that, Every damn song they put out was a WHOLE BANGER.

Like?? SHINEE’S FUCKING DISCOGRAPHY??

JULIETTE, SHERLOCK, RING DD, REPLAY, LUCIFER, STRANGER, GOOD EVENING, VIEW, PICASSO, MARRIED TO THE MUSIC, WHY SO SERIOUS?? BRUH WHAT EVEN?

SHINEE songs that get covered by rookie idols everyday, mentioned by established idols as their inspiration during trainee days, songs that the entire population of Korea would know. Songs that trainees practice on for hours hoping that one day they too, would debut.

Shinee, a boygroup who’s know as the group who “made their own concepts” and everyone else simple followed.

And the craziest part is they are one of the longest standing groups in kpop, been together for 12 whole years and are still as relevant and iconic as ever. The fact that all five members have so much solo potential and even then nothing trivial like fame or money had ever seemed to break shinee up as a group is really a feat.

Taemin is no doubts THE best dancer and one of the most successful soloists in the entire kpop industry. A living legend tbh. His discography is hot, molten GOLD. Jonghyun’s VOCALS are liter-al-ly one of the strongest vocals in the entire industry and every damn shinee song is a proof of his sheer excellence as a main vocalist. Cue to Stranger. Onew deadass sang opera for a loaded audience once and left everyone shook and his 40 sec long note. Also, this man leads the chaos that is shinee, mad respect. Key’s rapping style is honestly so distinctive and HONEY that man can sing like his life depends on it. Not to mention kibum is a FASHION ICON. Also, his ‘born to shine’ solo stage. HE DID THAT. Minho really out there being a multi talented class act, who’s a main rapper but has vocals that could kill. Not only that, man be out here having acted in so many successful dramas.

Imma say this once and I want all you third gen kpop stans to print it out, Shinee did for kpop what no one else did so you might not stan them or listen to their music but the one thing your ass will do, IS RESPECT THEM. Respect shinee and everything that they went through in a time where kpop wasn’t shit and kpop artists were treated so heartlessly as if they were nothing but cash machines. Also they’re from SM so God knows what kinda shit that company has put them through and one can never imagine the sheer amount of pressure on the members to have been so young and so in pain but having no one to trust at the heights of their success; Imagine being loved and cheered on by thousands on a stage only to come back home to nothing but you and your head in the now deafening silence. Imagine waking up one day and finding out that a boy you spent half your lifetime with, shared your best and worst moments with, is suddenly gone? Just like that? AND THEN having the sheer fucking courage to go up in front of thousand teary eyes and questioning glances, leaving a microphone empty on a stage and while using his damn background vocals; singing your heart out to the songs he wrote under an aqua blue moon knowing, for sure, that what began in 2008 will never really end, ever.

THAT IS SHINEE. FIVE LEGENDS. PERIOD POINT BLANK.

5hinee; OT5 for life, motherfuckers.

BTS scenario → asking you out after you successfully finish a collab together.

pairing: bts x reader fandom: bts warnings: / genre: fluff word count: 1.3k+

a/n: I hope this is what you wanted my love and I hope you like it ♥

kim seokjin

The collab had been highly anticipated ever since it got announced that Jin would work with you.

Not just because everyone knew that it would be good because you were one half of the collab, but because people thought it was finally time for Jin to shine and work with someone as recognized as you. He deserved that.. his talent was worth that and so much more.

But nobody had anticipated the collab more than Jin himself. Because he liked you.

He liked you a lot.

And he wasn't shy about that, had been dropping hints throughout the entire process, but wanted to wait for it all to be done and remain semi-professional before he finally asked: “Do you want to have dinner with me?”

“How could I refuse you after you literally sang your heart out for our collab?” you smiled at him and in that moment, it was as if time slowed down for Jin.

Maybe it was the high he had experienced throughout the last two weeks that he's been with you, but in that moment it felt like he had finally found what he had been looking for, but hadn't even realized he was searching for something.

A missing piece in his life.

Well.. he found it.

min yoongi

“I really didn't think your fans would like it this much.. but then again, you've worked with a bunch of female artists before and they accepted.. well.. most of them.”

Yoongi chuckled when he thought back to Suran, “Yeah.. they misinterpreted some collabs.”

“They seem to think we're good friends. I'm glad.”

Yoongi looked at you for a very long time, “But they misinterpret that as well.”

You looked up at him in confusion, “What?”

“The song is a major success, there's no work left to do so.. how about a drink?”

He didn't have to straight up ask you out, what he said before and what he was saying now made it clear that he was interested in more than just your voice for his track. This was about something personal and it took you until now to realize that.

“Alright.. let's get a drink,” you accepted in the end with the corner of your mouth curled into a smile.

jung hoseok

Usually Hoseok celebrated successes such as this one by doing a VLIVE either on his own or with his band members.

But not tonight.

Tonight he wanted to celebrate the success with the one that helped him create this masterpiece. The one that he's been yearning for for so long.

“I'm really happy,” Hoseok admitted with a huge grin, “The MV was so successful and now we're on a date..”

You chuckled, very flattered that he'd say that, “I'm the lucky one.. you want to work with me and you want to go out with me? I wonder what I did right in my last life.”

Ah, it was so cheesy, but you really meant it.

Hoseok was a good guy, a talented guy.. you were the one that lucked out here.

kim namjoon

Namjoon had so many artists that he wanted to work with one day, but being able to do a song with you was definitely one of the best experiences he's ever had, not just because he secretly had a crush on you, but because your creativity was something that Namjoon often looked up to.

The song was as successful as it was expected from the two of you working together, the process had been a blast and you and Namjoon had gotten along so well.

But just before he flew back to Korea, you asked: “So.. are you going to ask or should I do it?”

Namjoon let out a laugh, a little flustered when he realized what this was about from the way you were smirking, “That obvious, huh?”

“A little,” you shrugged, but with a smile, “Or maybe I'm just selfish and want you to ask because I'm really interested too.”

“Well then, thank you for being selfish and.. do you want to go out with me?”

“Woooow, for real?” you laughed and hooked your arms with his, “I never would have expected you to ask that.”

Namjoon grinned.

park jimin

Creatively, you were the complete opposite of Jimin. Whereas his concept was often the soft mochi, your career was revolving more around the concept of female badass.

And maybe that's why the song ended up being so good, because your voices fit, for some reason, perfectly.

Opposites did attract. Not just on a personal level, but on a creative level too.

“We should celebrate,” Jimin said all of a sudden, turning his head to look at you, “Dinner?”

“Dinner.. with..-?” you looked around, then looked back at him with a grin when you realized it was only you and him, “Dinner with each other? Aw, Jimin, are you finally asking me out?”

“Stop this,” he blushed a little, but smiled nevertheless, “I wasn't sure if you were interested at first.”

“But now you're sure?” you narrowed your eyes at him, but then decided not to tease him any further and started laughing, “You can be. Let's have dinner!”

kim taehyung

This song and this music video was not something anybody had expected.

Other members had done collabs with artists overseas, but Taehyung had pretty much held back in that sense. But he couldn't let the opportunity pass to record something with you when it came up. He would have hated himself if he had.

So because it was a surprise to everyone, people celebrated it, loved and appreciated it.

Taehyung had put so much effort in it. His clothes, his hair, his dance, his singing.. everything was downright perfect.

And even though some scenes in this MV were a little.. well.. let's call it 'romantic', ARMY's still appreciated the creativeness behind it and saw it more as that than Taehyung making a romantic collab with a female.

But.. they would have been right to suspect something this time.

“Coffee, hm?” you smirked knowingly, “But you don't drink coffee.”

Taehyung chuckled, “I'll have tea. I just want to spend some private time together.”

“Keep talking and you're going to make it sound more and more like you want to get me into bed.”

He didn't even bat an eyelash at that, he just smirked like you had smirked before.

Jeez, there was no getting out of this one, huh?

jeon jeongguk

Jeongguk was an interesting person, someone that had intrigued you as an artist ever since you first started hearing about KPOP.

He seemed to be sweet and innocent, but the moment he got on stage, his persona was an entirely different one. You had followed his – and that of his band's, of course – career throughout the last year or two and were a big fan, but had never publicly said any of that. Still, when none other than Jeongguk himself was the one who got in touch with you to ask whether you'd be interested in a collab, you didn't even think twice about doing it.

The whole process had been going so smoothly, you both contributed in the writing and making of the song and when you first sat down together, it was as if you were old friends, instantly clicking despite the language barrier.

The more you got to know him, the more you started liking him though. It wasn't just his looks that you were attracted to, it was his personality that made you want to get closer. And the thing is.. it wasn't just one-sided.

During the making of the MV, there were a lot more touches than necessary and it was more often than not that the director told Jeongguk to be careful, because certain touches might not be appreciated by his fans.

Nevertheless, the MV turned out to be fantastic, the scenes were just amazingly put together with the song and everyone lived for it.

“I thought others would be coming too,” you said when you clinked glasses with Jeongguk in celebration of your success.

“I.. felt like this was overdue. Just you and me.”

You narrowed your eyes at him, then smirked, “Jeon Jeongguk. Is this a date?”

He just grinned into his glass, giving you the answer you wanted to get.

Cloud Wine

Pairing: Jeon Jeongguk x International Singer!Reader

Genre: Fluff, Tipsy!Jeongguk

Word Count: 4.2k

Summary: Sometimes a bottle of wine is all you need to let yourself go and have a proper conversation with your crush, especially when language barrier is being nothing but a pain in the ass.

Warnings: Wine drunkenness? And a small comment regarding condoms lol.

A/N: I don't know what this is tbh, but I thought it was cute. I was wine drunk when I started writing it and Guk's wine Vlive had just come out so just bear with me, please. Also, here's how it goes:

"English/Your language".

«Korean».

"I don't know, Nams…" you spoke slowly as your eyes travelled around the set, only to finally lock with Jeongguk's unpleased ones on the other side of it. "I think something happened and he just wants me to stay away…"

"No!" Namjoon was quick to reply, causing your eyes to instinctively draw to him. "He's just... shy" he tried to explain.

"But we used to talk so much over texts" you pointed out, not being able to help the pout already forming on your lips. "We even talked the day before I came to Seoul and everything seemed perfect, and now that we finally get to spend some time together, he plainly avoids me".

A heavy sigh abandoned Joon's mouth, leaning his back up against the wall behind the two of you. He knew about how much you and his maknae talked more than anyone else, for it was mostly him Jeongguk turned to whenever he had both trouble with expressing himself in your language and needed to let his feelings out, because the way you made him feel was truly something he had never experienced before.

Ever since Namjoon had contacted you for a collab a few months ago and you had obviously agreed, it was as if you and Jeongguk had been attached to the hip without even being physically together. What had started out with the two of you wanting to give each other some feedback for the song ending up being so much more.

"Try to see it from his side, Y/N. Texting is… a lot easier" he smiled weakly, "he can take his time and translate whatever he needs to, but in person he doesn't have that. It's hard enough for him to talk to the person he likes, just imagine how hard must it be to, on top of that, have to talk to her in a language he's not fluent in".

Your mouth fell slightly open, as your eyes showed a particular shine he had not seen before. And before he could even ask what had happened, you beat him to it: "The person he likes?"

Namjoon's heart stopped, throwing his head back as realisation hit him, about him having spilled his maknae's secret yet not very subtle crush on you.

Nonetheless, it was already out there and nothing he said could take it back, so he decided to just go with it. "Why do you think he's been glaring at me the whole time we've been here all alone?"

At that, your heart jumped. "I thought he was glaring at me for some unknown reason…" you admitted with a small voice, lowering your head as you felt the heat reach your cheeks, which Namjoon's laugh didn't help at all.

Shaking his head, he caught a glimpse of Jeongguk once again looking his way with a not very pleased semblance, turning around right as his hyung's eyes locked with his.

"Nope. Definitely glaring at me" he confirmed, making your face go back to his eye level. "Trust me, he's trying so hard to talk to you, but he gets too nervous every time… All these days we've been filming, he's gone back home whining about how he could just not do it".

"Nams, I'm leaving tomorrow…" you sighed, running your hand through your hair out of frustration. Tomorrow. You were leaving the very next day and had not exchanged more than three words with the man you were the most excited to talk to when you signed up to film this music video with all seven of them.

"Maybe you could talk to him?" he proposed after a few seconds.

"Don't you think I've tried?" although a breathy laugh had escaped your mouth, there was not even a hint of humour in it. "He always just… nods and leaves, or something like that".

There it was, silence taking over again as the two of you contemplated your options. Though there was not much thinking on your side, for your stare had once again met Jeongguk's and suddenly nothing else seemed to matter.

"Huh?" you wondered after Namjoon had gently shoved your arm to catch your attention, taking you out of your trance.

"He likes wine…" he let you know, only for your eyebrows to furrow in utter confusion. "You could invite him over to your hotel room and open a bottle…"

"You want me to get him drunk?" you raised one of your eyebrows, not being very fond of that particular idea.

"No, not drunk, or at least not wasted. Just..." he shrugged, "he becomes pretty chatty when he's tipsy… it might be helpful for the two of you".

Biting the inside of your cheek, you thought about it for a second before slowly nodding your head. Maybe he was right, it could help both of you to ease the tension and just let go.

So, you tried to push your previous worries to the back of your head as all eight of you were called to film the next scene for the MV. And, in all honesty, now that you knew Jeongguk liked you, you had kind of started to see what Namjoon had meant. Guk did indeed try to talk to you from time to time, yet ended up chickening out every single time before he could even approach you.

It was after three intense hours of dancing around, when you all finally wrapped up the music video and everyone was cheering, that you went up to give all of them a quick hug, leaving Jeongguk for the last so that you could take that brief following moment to speak to him. Thankfully, the rest of them understood the message, walking away and giving the two of you some space as Guk's arms remained tightly wrapped around your figure and your face rested against his chest – the warmness of his body making you not ever wanting to let go of him.

"Good job these couple of days" you spoke once your bodies were no longer touching, "I can't wait for the MV to come out".

He smiled wholeheartedly, causing your heart to race at that the sight of that bunny smile you had not gotten the chance to personally witness many times that week. "Yeah, I… can't wait" he said as well.

"Hey, um…" you begun after your eyes had caught a glimpse of Namjoon nodding encouragingly by the other side of the room, "I… I was wondering if you'd maybe…" Jeongguk stared at you expectantly as you tried to find the right words, "maybe you'd like to… hang out for a while tonight?"

"Hang out?" he wondered uncertainly with a cocked eyebrow.

"Yeah" you nodded your head. He knew the meaning of that, right? "We could talk… drink some wine, perhaps?"

This time, both his eyebrows raised at your words – his eyes becoming slightly bigger. Talking and having some wine with you sure sounded like a dream of a time… but it was the talking part the one he couldn't help but feel insecure about. Nevertheless, a voice inside of him was desperately screaming at him not to let this chance go.

And he decided to listen to it right then rather than regret it later.

"Yes" he shyly accepted, giving a quick glance to his members. "With… hyungs?" he asked as his eyes travelled back to you.

"Oh, um…" you shook your head, trying to ignore the way your hands had started to sweat out of nervousness, "I was thinking just the two of us" that was all it took for his heart to go wild. "But if you'd like them to come, too, then–"

"No" he cut you off embarrassingly fast, feeling the heat reach his face in a second, "just… me and you. I like that…" he admitted with now burning cheeks, having to lower his head a little bit in a failed attempt for you not to notice.

You bit your lower lip, looking down as well as you felt those damn butterflies fluttering their wings inside your stomach. "Great" a smile curved up the corners of your lips, being instantly mirrored by his. "I'll go change now and then we can leave".

Jeongguk limited his answer to a nod of his head, watching you leave to the dressing room before he rushed to change as well, not letting pass the opportunity to tell his already well aware hyungs about the miracle that had just happened.

That's how the two of you had ended up almost an hour later inside the grocery store next to your hotel, with your oversized hoodies all the way up and a couple of masks not to get recognised covering half of your faces, as you searched through the liquor aisle for a good brand of wine.

«Oh, this one's really good» Jeongguk spoke to your side, reaching to take one particular dark bottle in his hands as he examined it.

"Huh?" you wondered, leaving the one you had been staring at back on its place before moving closer to him to take a look at his.

"This wine" he said this time in English, focusing his attention on you, "is very good".

"Oh" you smiled this time, feeling slightly bummed about the fact that he tried his best to speak in your language for you to understand yet there you were knowing not even a full sentence in his to save your life. It seemed unfair to him. "We should take it then".

Although he nodded and held the bottle tighter in his hand, his wandering eyes had your eyebrows knitting together in an instant.

"Something wrong?"

Guk shook his head no, tugging at the sleeve of your hoodie to pull you somewhere else with him. "Food" he stated simply, earning a giggle from you that his heart couldn't help but skip a beat at.

Good wine called for good food.

So you were taught when you were back in your hotel room for once and for all, sat on the middle of your bed surrounded by Korean snacks Jeongguk had insisted on you having to try out, watching as he looked around for a corkscrew and laughing under your breath at the sight of him smiling like a child on Christmas after finding one by the bar – taking two glasses with him before rushing to your bed and praying with everything in him for the cork not to break and have him make a fool of himself in front of you as he tried to open it.

With his prayers being heard and the cork out of the way with a loud 'pop', he proceeded to fill your awaiting glasses with the dark liquor, later clinking them together.

"Cheers!" you chanted, earning a cute little laugh from him as he repeated your words. "How do you say it in Korean?" you wondered before the glass could touch your lips.

"Geonbae" he said in a low, slower voice for you to understand.

"Geon…" you raised one of your eyebrows uncertainly, afraid of messing up the one word you were about to learn.

"Bae" he repeated with loving eyes, finding your current expression rather adorable. "Geon-bae".

"Okay, I got it" you announced, sitting up straight and lifting up your glass for his to touch one more time. "Geonbae, Jeongguk!"

He was the one to giggle this time. "Geonbae, Y/N!"

After the first few sips, you felt the world and everything surrounding you become slower.

After the first glass, everything started to seem funnier.

After the second glass, however, and much to his and your relief, language had suddenly stopped being a barrier – Jeongguk not even caring anymore about his broken English and just going with whatever came out of his mouth, for not only did the alcohol help him a lot in that sense, but he had also discovered you would never either make fun of nor criticise him for it. The only loud, mocking laugh coming out of your mouth being when you tried to speak in Korean as he taught you and you thought your own pronunciation was the worst sound to ever come out of anyone's mouth.

"Okay, I guess I'll just limit my Korean to 'hello' and 'goodbye' whenever I come here for a concert" you lifted your hand up to wipe a tear that was about to roll down your cheek.

"No, that was– cute" Jeongguk reassured you immediately. "Practice…" he held both thumbs up to bring his point across.

"Yeah, I think that's the least I can do if I want to keep talking to you".

He smiled sweetly. «Hopefully you'll be fluent one day and we'll be able to speak in both languages!»

"What?" you wondered, already feeling the corners of your lips starting to curve up at the whole situation you had found yourselves in.

Jeongguk rolled his eyes, in a failed attempt not to let his smile reach them. "I said, you– um…" he pouted, «hopefully you'll be fluent–» he was interrupted by his own laugh after noticing you were not getting a thing, being matched by your own right after.

"Wait, what?" you managed to blurt out uneasily, both because of the alcohol's effect on you and the endless laugh currently coming out of your mouth.

«Pay attention!» his laugh became louder, trying his best to make it stop so he could take another sip of his wine before giving his words another try. "I'm telling you that" his mouth opened to keep on talking right after that, finding out he did not know how to say the following in English at all, ending up with him naturally switching back to Korean, «if you keep on practicing then we–» his head was thrown back as a cackle left once again at the sight of your puzzled expression, more precisely, at the way your eyebrows remained furrowed while your eyes travelled back and forth from his lips to his eyes as you tried to somehow understand what he was saying.

"Jeongguk, I don't understanddd" you half whined, half chuckled; dragging on the last letter.

«That only makes it funnier» he confessed in pure amusement, which only increased the way your lower lip had stuck out as you had, obviously, not gotten that either.

"Wait, wait" you laughed once more, reaching for your phone that was for some reason lying on the other edge of the mattress. "Fuck it, we're using technology to communicate".

With that and under Guk's questioning stare, you started looking for an app one of your friends had told you about at some point in during the year, one that translated everything on the spot just by you speaking into your mobile's microphone.

"Okay now" you smiled once it was done downloading, moving your phone close to his mouth. "Speak".

«What am I supposed to say?» Jeongguk wondered immediately, not even a second passing by when a robotic voice was heard in the silence of the room, making the two of you stare at each other with wide eyes and faintly open mouths as your lips parted into a smile of disbelief. «That does not sound like me!» he exclaimed right as you started laughing – said unsettling voice being heard once again.

"No shit, Sherlock" you rolled your eyes in amusement.

Before you could even turn off the app, your words were translated to Korean with that very same male tone, causing Jeongguk to throw his head back, letting out a cackle you had never heard coming from him. Not only did he throw his head back, you realised a second later, but his whole body as well, slumping down on bed while he kept on laughing at such silly thing – good thing his glass was already empty, otherwise you would be getting the scold from the hotel's staff the next day.

"Let's just turn it off" you managed to say in between your own laughter, placing both your glass and your phone on the nightstand next to the bed. "Your voice alone is much more pleasant to listen to".

Now, you didn't know if that had been the alcohol speaking or you just had a moment of confidence, maybe both, but your cheeks didn't wait a second to start burning as soon as you realised what had just came out of your mouth. Jeongguk, on his end, smiled blissfully at the compliment.

Feeling the wine get to your head now more than ever, you let your body fall to his side, staring at the ceiling as the two of you laughed it all out, until your chests stopped trembling and your breathings became even.

It was then, with silence taking over the room, when Jeongguk closed his eyes, starting to feel them become heavier. But he was not willing to fall asleep just yet.

"Your voice is pretty, too" he slurred; his chest moving up and then down with a loud sigh. "You're pretty…"

You closed your eyes as well, allowing the smile threatening with curving up your lips to take over them. Wetting your lips with your tongue out of habit, you were clueless to Jeongguk's eyes being fixed on them, hungrily staring at them as he instinctively wet his own. "You're very handsome, too" you confessed with what seemed more of a sigh, feeling your body slowly starting to shut down.

This time, he bit down on his lower lip as his eyes took in your every faction. "Y/N?" he mumbled.

"Mm?" you hummed after he said nothing for the next couple of seconds, which lead to yet another brief moment of silence.

Just like that, a pair of cloudlike lips were placed on yours.

Although it had taken you by surprise, you did not open your eyes – if anything enjoying the way his lips trapped your own in them, and how his chest was now resting against yours without really letting his whole weight fall on top of you.

With one hand pressing down on the mattress next to you, his other one went up to cup your cheek, letting his thumb press over the corner of your mouth to keep you still and allow him to intensify the kiss. It was when his mouth opened ever so lightly to catch your lower lip once again in between it, that something made him snap out of it.

"Sorry" he mumbled when his lips had not even completely withdrawn from yours, looking into your confused eyes for a moment before he let his head fall to the crook of your neck and then slump on his back next to you. "Sorry, I–" he tried to explain himself, pressing his hands to his eyes; like that action alone would make him disappear, «you're just so beautiful and I-I like you so much, and I don't, I don't want to blame it on the alcohol be-because I've wanted to kiss you for so long but, but it sure made me gain up the cour–»

"Jeongguk" you cut him off, because although you did not get a single word of what was coming out of his mouth, you were able to catch on the way he was clearly stuttering, letting you know just how nervous he was feeling right then.

Since you didn't want to let him panic for another single second, you turned around to press your chest against his like he had done mere moments ago. Cupping his face in your hands and smiling under his piercing, uncertain stare, you wasted no time in closing the space between your mouths one more time, knowing you had managed to make all his worries go away when you felt him smile in between the kiss – placing his hand on the back of your neck to pull you even closer.

Not having enough of you, his hand travelled down to your back, firmly pressing on it as he turned both of you around so that he could be back on top and take control.

It felt perfect; not only the way his mouth moved so tenderly against yours, but also the way the liquor gave his soft lips a bitter taste, yet the natural sweetness that was inherent to them remained there still.

When oxygen was finally something neither of you could no longer ignore, his touch lost yours, letting his forehead rest on yours as the two of you breathed heavily, causing a small smile to form on your swollen lips.

"I'm glad you weren't mad at me after all" you couldn't help but point out with a giggle when absolute silence had taken over the atmosphere. At the way he had dumbfoundedly furrowed his eyebrows, you explained: "You were kind of avoiding me all these days…"

Jeongguk sighed, letting his head fall on your shoulder. "I didn't– I was..." he struggled with his own words, wanting to let you know he was just too nervous to approach you yet not finding the right way to say it. So, he decided to instead just go with: "I like you…"

You bit down on your lower lip, feeling a shiver run down your spine. You knew, for Namjoon had been very explicit about it after all. However, hearing such confession coming out of his very own lips made you feel like you could melt any time by then.

"I like you, too" you whispered, running your fingers through his already messy hair due to your wandering hands, and then letting out a breathy laugh as you felt his wet lips press to the crook of your neck.

"I'm sorry I… missed time" he apologised, tilting his head back so he could fix his dark chocolate eyes on yours. You nodded understandingly, receiving a light kiss to your lips this time. "I want to, take you... date, tomorrow".

That was it. The figurative melting hitting for once and for all.

"I would love that" your bright smile got a shy bunny one from him. "We could go for breakfast" you proposed, "before my flight leaves".

Jeongguk nodded gently, trying not to let his mood drop at the fact that you were leaving so soon. "Perfect".

"Perfect" you happily repeated in a whisper.

"I, um…" he cleared his throat, glancing over to his phone laying by one side of the bed before he reached his hand out to it so he could check the time – his heavy eyes opening wide at the sight of such late hour into the night. "I... should leave".

"Oh, um…" you held your weight up with your elbows, "maybe you could stay?" you wondered with a faintly trembling voice at the fear of overstepping some kind of boundary, only becoming more of a nervous wreck under Jeongguk's intense stare. Maybe you had given him the wrong idea. "I mean, it's pretty late" you tried to fix it, "and… I'm trying to say, if you wa–"

As if on queue, not knowing if that had been in your favour or not, the phone he was still holding in his hand started ringing, jolting the both of you up.

«Namjoon-ie hyung» he let you know, rushing to pick it up and press his mobile against his ear.

«Jeongguk-ah, where are you?» Joon wondered as soon as the phone call had been answered.

«Still with Y/N» Guk replied immediately, locking eyes with you as he spoke.

«Oh» Namjoon breathed out. «What time are you coming back?»

Poking his tongue against the inside of his cheek, Jeongguk took a couple of seconds to answer. Soon. That's what he should've said, what he would've said if it weren't for your previous invitation invading his mind – especially when he had you so close to him and your sleepy eyes were calling for him to stay.

"I'm… staying here…" your eyes lit up at the sound of that, at how he had slurred those words out specifically in your language for you to understand, "tonight".

The other end of the line went dead for a while before Namjoon took a deep breath. «Okay… um… I know you didn't take any condoms with you, so please remember to pull o–»

«Hyung» Jeongguk cut him off with crimson coloured cheeks, «it's not like that…»

It was really not. Not with you.

«Oh» Joon breathed out once again. «Have fun then. Be safe».

«I will. We will».

With that said, he hung up, leaving his phone next to you and staring lovingly into your eyes – one of his hands going up to cup your cheek and running small circles on it with his thumb.

"More wine then?" you proposed with a teasing tone, knowing well enough neither of you could handle any more of it if you wanted to remain in your senses.

That being exactly what was on Guk's mind when he amusedly yet slowly moved his head from one side to another in negation – a smile curving up his lips as they brushed lightly over yours, ready to entirely close the space between them once more. "I want to remember".

The quiet giggle that had came out of your mouth was soon muffled by his lips finally pressing on your own, just the way you could so easily become addicted to.

You'd be damned if either of you ever forgot about this dreamlike night.

Tagged by @pidgeonpostal! And not tagging anyone else because I have SOILED the original template (soiled it!!) in deference to my [brushes off skirt] mostly clean public-facing appearance.

...I’ve been making a lot of Spongebob memes lately for someone who has not seen Spongebob.

How many works do you have on AO3?

71!

What’s your total AO3 wordcount?

...306,834. Jesus.

How many fandoms have you written for and what are they?

Uh. Many! I do a lot of one-offs (and/or start long things I never finish) in many different places. My top three fandoms by fics written are RWBY (29), Undertale (25), Gravity Falls/Transcendence AU (4).

Bet you can’t tell where my hyperfixations have fallen.

I’ve also got some Pokémon and Sonic the Hedgehog fics back on my ff.net account, or I think I still do, anyway, but let’s never go back there pls

What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

1. Sweeter Than Honey (Undertale): Taking a Completely unsurprising first place, with over 600 more kudos than the runner-up, the haphazard Underswap fic featuring a post-college self-insert I wrote just after high school! I shake my head some at how overblown and ridiculous the gap between this and all my other stuff is (c’mon, guys, I’ve written way better fics), but this is also the fic which prompted me (and at least one other person!) to start using they/them pronouns. I’ve gotten a lot of really sweet comments about how seen and appreciated it’s made people feel, so I can’t get down too far about it.

2. To Be A Hero (BNHA): I don’t count myself as part of the BNHA fandom, for a number of reasons, but for something that’s arguably the main motivation for the entire plot, Midoriya’s quirklessness is something I’ve never thought has been handled well. This fic marked the first time I (somewhat tentatively) claimed the disability label (thanks again to Sweeter Than for prompting that realization) to hold that lens over canon. It also really shot up my chart, dang! It’s the only thing here I’d consider “recent.”

3. Three-Sentence Shipping (Undertale): Self-explanatory.

4. Brothers Beyond Bonedaries (Undertale): Ah, the way-overcomplicated AU³ I got nowhere close to finishing. One of the things I really like about Undertale is the interface screw, how Toby Fox uses the medium of the video game to pull off crazy things and enhance his game, but most of the fic written for the fandom seems dedicated to explaining it away, grounding it, rather than taking it to the next step and messing with the medium of fanfiction when you keep the story going. I tried to do something cool like that here, playing with questions like narrator and authorship and breaking the fourth wall, even taking the “final boss” fight to a “totally separate” fic reached through the first by link – but, well, then I never finished it, which probably didn’t make anything less confusing for the poor folks who missed the intent.

5. Spirit and Such (Gravity Falls: Transcendence AU): A whole fic written to line out a particular image I had, which, naturally, never made it to the page. I consider it a bit of a cautionary tale for myself when it comes to writing (near-)original content; there’s a lot I look back on and cringe. I still love the characters, though – well, the important ones – and I think just stepping away from the tried-and-true Mizar formula nets it a star sticker here.

Do you respond to comments, why or why not?

>w>; I try, but a lot of the time I just don’t have anything to say? Like, oh, you liked it? Neat. There’s not much to respond to in comments like that, and then I’m weighing falling down on an ~obligation~ to respond to every message in my inbox vs annoying people with copy-paste fluff responses all down the page. Plus I know I make more of an effort to comment on things that didn’t get the attention I feel they deserve, so if I’m driving up my own comment count with nonsense, am I preventing myself from being in a position to receive more comments later? And then if I do comment, am I being too effusive or running people’s ears off explaining things they don’t actually need to know? Sometimes people just want to express interest or admiration and don’t necessarily want a whole peek and guided tour behind the curtain.

Can you tell I have anxiety? x3;

Anyway, I do respond when I can. And I keep most of the comments I’ve gotten to go back and reread.

What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

Hm, hmm. Lots of stuff in the TQ Nonsense series would probably qualify! I’m thinking of Unfixable, Wolfsong, and Ethanol. And there’s Bursting Through A Blood-Red Sky (I Can Live, I Can Breathe), of course, but that was always intended to have a fix-it epilogue. It’s just that I wrote it in a couple of hours day-of, stared at it, and decided I didn’t wanna just then. But now that’s As Long As You’re Still Burning Bright (I’m Still Awake), and that’s probably the best romance I’ve written, so that one worked out.

Do you write crossovers? If so what is the craziest one you’ve ever written?

Now and then! When the urge strikes. Uhhh, I’ve got a series of Doctor Who x Undertale crossovers I actually made a whole dang verse for that never made it to print. Get a couple great comments on that every few months or so. I think the World Trigger x Undertale crossover is probably weirder, though, by virtue of WT being a very small fandom. My enthusiasm kinda sputtered out on that one.

Mostly I just daydream crossovers with whatever happens to catch my eye at any given moment. I have a lot!!!! Though odds are out on whether I manage to remember any of them once the initial thought’s passed, lol.

Have you ever received hate on a fic?

Gotten a couple eyebrow-raising comments, but I think mostly I’m just too small a writer to draw that kind of attention.

Have you ever had a fic stolen?

I don’t? think so? Think my tastes are a little niche for most people to bother ^^;

Have you ever had a fic translated?

I had someone apologize once for any language mistakes in their comment cause they had to run it through a translator! That’s not what you asked (the answer is no), but it’s very flattering to think that someone liked my fic enough to read and comment despite the language barrier.

Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Yes! :D @pidgeonpostal was gracious enough to agree to co-write Five Nights at Denny’s with me off an idea about shoes. This has fulfilled a long-held dream of mine (collabing with someone, not the shoes) and also introduced me to some lovely people.

What’s your all time favorite ship?

Who has time for just one? ;3c Honestly, I care more about the characters and how the relationship – any relationship – between them changes them than I do about ~A Ship~ as a solid, bounded noun-object. I’ve got characters I like more and less and feelings about who does and doesn’t have chemistry in which directions with whom, but finding anything that agrees with those preferences is hard, harder when you take alloromanticism into account. I’ll play in any sandbox with cool toys, especially if other folks have already built sick sandcastles there.

What’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?

[kicks every single unfinished fic further under the bed] What nooo no WIPs here, everything on my account is either finished or does not exist

I’ve got a couple extra chapters of Sweeter Than floating around unposted, but 1. that fic’s a mess 2. high school Twixt and post-college Twixt are different people and trying to contort myself into three other me-shapes just cause people Like this fic is not something I’m super interested in 3. it’s headed for an emotional dip and I’d rather leave it where it is than post two chapters, stall out again, and leave folks with a bad end.

As for other fics... it’s looking more and more likely that v7 of my Yellow Brick Road AU will never actually make it out. >w>; I’ve got some really great ideas, but not enough to make me feel like I know what I’m doing, and that’s a big roadblock. Plus trying to engage with RT’s Atlas-Mantle worldbuilding in any serious capacity is... a headache. I can’t recommend the Happy Huntress Cinematic Universe enough, but it leaves some pretty big shoes to follow! And I’ve got small feet. <w<;

What are your writing strengths?

Dialogue’s fun, probably as an extension of characterization. I love tearing into what makes people tick, especially against the backdrop of their environment, the story they’re in, and the people they’re up against. Voice is a double-edged sword; I’ve been told my writing is really recognizable and individual, but on the other hand, I’ve been growing frustrated with with the limits of my narrative ability. There’s a strong rhythm I keep when I write (you might notice it here, even) but that leaves me feeling predictable and stale. I’m not sure I’m great at setting as a matter of course, but I’m pretty good at describing setpieces where the need comes up; that comes from my background in poetry, as does the fun I have with sublimating and abstracting complex imagery. And I think I bring some needed nuance to the universal. For good or ill, I don’t do what “everyone else” is doing.

What are your writing weaknesses?

Well, writing, for one thing. If I don’t know how something’s going to go and don’t have the urge to write it, it isn’t getting done, which means there’s a billion things that will never see the page and a few hundred more that are never getting finished. I lose momentum easily and have a hard time getting started, and I put way too much standing on finding a foothold with other people; as critical as I am of my work, I have high expectations for the stuff that passes muster, and it never seems to measure up. I’m also really uncreative. Yeah, I can mix up elements and extrapolate events, but coming up with things wholesale is really hard, which is why I avoid it wherever possible and steal/reskin stuff from other places instead.

What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?

Something along the lines of “Hoo boy, I am Not qualified for this but hopefully it’s decent anyway.” Maria’s Spanish lines haven’t been a big deal – I’ve used it sparingly and, as a Latin language, it should be easy for English-speaking audiences to pick up on the gist – but I’ve had a harder time with Tai’s Chinese, both because I have Even Less background there and because it is, of course, an entirely different language system. If I write it out in English or Romanized italics, am I colonizing it or changing the meaning? If I write it out in the presumed-original characters (presumed because it’s Google Translate and who knows if I’m even barking in the right forest), am I confusing or alienating my presumed-majority-English-speaking audience? Where should I put the translations? Should I put the translations? And for Frisk’s sign language, thinking back, are the brackets I used instead of quotes alienating/infantilizing? I like that different characters give the text between a different feel, but I’m not an ASL speaker – and I’m pretty sure the word is “speaker,” which would only reinforce that that demographic would rather I didn’t do that. It’s important for all these characters, I think, that they use non-English language where it makes sense; it’s part of who they are. But as a white monolingual English-speaker, I don’t think I can really weigh in.

What was the first fandom you ever wrote for?

Thaaaat’d be Pokémon, followed closely with Sonic the Hedgehog. Whether those fics are still on my ff.net account or not (pretty sure I’ve purged them, but you never know) I’ve still got a couple saved to a folder on my current laptop, ostensibly so I can look back and see how far I’ve come and more practically to allow for the possibility of furthering group cohesion through public shaming.

What’s your favorite fic you’ve written?

I still like the idea behind The Man Who Is Atlas, and Burning Bright (Still Awake) gets props for being my current fic, though it’s currently in that spot where I’m excited to get new chapters posted but also quietly marking everything up in red pen. I think Harbinger gets the crown here, at least for now.

criminal-minds-fanfiction wrote a bunch of questions for authors that you’re supposed to let people ask you, buuuut I felt like answering all of them instead of doing my actual job this afternoon. 😄 Here we go:

1) How old were you when you first starting writing fanfiction?

Like 25 maybe? I started writing about a year after I started reading it. I had a fanfiction-deprived adolescence, y’all.

2) What fandoms do you write for and do you have a particular favourite if you write for more than one?

The hockey boys pulled me in years ago and they haven’t let me go. I do sometimes write other things: I almost always participate in Yuletide, and I’ve actually written a bunch of Animorphs fic under a different name (ask me if you want to see it!). Mostly hockey RPF, though.

3) Do you prefer writing OC’s or reader inserts? Explain your answer.

Haha neither. Well, I guess OC’s, if I had to choose -- I don’t read or write reader inserts. But I tend to keep OC’s for original fiction.

4) What is your favourite genre to write for?

I was very confused about fic having genres before I realized this was probably referring to the genre of the canon works. Um...sports. :D

5) If you had to choose a favourite out of all of your multi chaptered stories, which would it be and why?

Don’t make me choose my favorite child. Um, probably the first wolfverse story -- I don’t know if it’s the best one, but I’m very grateful to it for starting the ‘verse!

6) If you had to delete one of your stories and never speak of it again, which would it be and why?

None of them, if that’s an option. If I really had to choose...probably the Kirk/Spock fic I never finished even after uploading it to AO3 and promising to finish it this time. I still want to finish it!! But it would be the first to go.

7) When is your preferred time to write?

I don’t have a strong preference. Afternoon/evening. I like having multi-hour blocks, and I use the Forest app to keep me off my phone while I do it.

8) Where do you take your inspiration from?

Plot bunnies come from all over the place: random thoughts, memes, real-life conversations, suggestions from other fandom people. I tend to have a pretty strong “THIS IS A STORY I WANT TO WRITE” response when something grabs me the right way.

9) In your xxx fic, what’s your favourite scene that you wrote?

Haha this is probably why I’m not supposed to just answer all of these in order. XD I’ll answer for my current WIP: the scene where Geno kisses Sid for the first time. So soft. So angsty. 😈 (My own story has cursed me to love Geno. I am doomed.)

10) In your xxx fic, why did you decide to end it like that? Did you have an alternative ending in mind?

In general: I know how my stories are going to end when they start. Sometimes it does evolve a bit as I write. One thing I’d like to play with is including more of the main characters being together at the end of the story, instead of ending it at the moment when they get together; the latter makes sense from a tension perspective, but I’ve been finding when I read lately that I want more of the happy times at the end, so I’m going to try to move in that direction.

11) Have you ever amended a story due to criticisms you’ve received after posting it?

Only for typos, I think.

12) Who is your favourite character to write for? Why?

Ooooh. Either Patrick Kane or Jonathan Toews. There’s something so compelling to me about Patrick’s fanon voice. And every love interest in every original story I try to write is Jonny.

13) Who is your least favourite character to write for? Why?

I...don’t really write about characters I don’t like? I wish Auston Matthews would shave his mustache.

14) How did you come up with the title for the xxx? - You can ask about multiple stories.

About fifty percent of the titles I come up with are desperate scrambles because I’ve got nothing. The other fifty percent I have a perfect song lyric for from the start.

15) If you write OC’s, how do you decide on their names?

I only write OC’s in original fiction, but: I’ve been phonebanking lately, and I’ve been writing down all the good names I come across. The best so far is someone with the last name Quackenboss.

16) How did you come up with the idea for xxx?

MAGIC.

17) Post a line from a WIP that you’re working on.

Oh...oh no. Um.

“It doesn’t matter what he was thinking about. His knot popped; that’s the important thing.”

Some of you can probably guess what that’s about. :)

18) Do you have any abandoned WIP’s? What made you abandon them?

Mostly on my computer. I have a lot of beginnings of stories I haven’t finished yet; many of them I’ll probably go back to. I tend not to post things until I’m done or close to done with them. (That one Star Trek fic being an exception. Mea culpa.)

19) Are there any stories that you’ve written that you’d really love to do a sequel to?

YES. The 1988 timer one and the 1988 story where Patrick’s a girl who sneaks onto the Blackhawks in disguise. I’d love to do a Bennguin version of both of those.

20) Are there any stories that you wished you’d ended differently?

Hm. Some of them I think I rushed a little. More Than I Could Ever Promise, I think it needs a good old-fashioned battle scene in the mountains at the end to really round out the plot.

21) Tell me about another writer(s) who you admire? What is it about them that you admire?

Have I mentioned astolat? What, only two or three hundred times? I should mention her again, then. Give me that woman’s ability to plot. Inject it into my veins.

22) Do you have a story that you look back on and cringe when you reread it?

Haha. I often have slightly cringy moments in my old stories. You Made My Life an Adventure, I definitely didn’t really know what I was doing yet...

23) Do you prefer listening to music when you’re writing or do you need silence?

I usually listen to music.

24) How do you feel about writing smutty scenes?

Turned on.

25) Have you ever cried whilst writing a story?

Yes. The sequel to My Heart Forgets to Beat.

26) Which part of your xxx fic was the hardest to write?

The Sid/Geno wolfverse story I’m working on now is maybe the hardest thing I’ve ever written. The language barrier is such a new challenge for me.

27) Do you make a general outline for your stories or do you just go with the flow?

I don’t formally outline, but I tend to have a sense of the major plot beats. One reason I love writing fic is that the plot and world tend to be straightforward enough for that. I have a lot more trouble doing that with original fiction.

28) What is something you wished you’d known before you started posting fanfiction?

This will radically reduce the amount of time I spend writing original fiction.

29) Do you have a story that you feel doesn’t get as much love as you’d like?

Like You Have a Secret I think is less read than some of the others because it’s het, but I really love it. Similarly, some of my stories that are inspired by other works (Tangled, Doctor Who, The Giver) tend to be read less because people think they need to know the source material, when really I deviate from the source material so much it’s not important.

30) In contrast to 29 is there a story which gets lots of love which you kinda eye roll at?

Huh. Probably not. I’m definitely surprised when some stories take off -- Kinda Narrows It Down I wrote pretty quickly, on a whim, and I was surprised by the extent to which it resonated with people. Turns out lots of people think Tyler was coming out in that tweet. XD

31) Send me a fic recommendation and I’ll post it for my followers to see! (The asker is to send the rec not the answerer)

Ooh. Ignoring the terms of this question, but: I just read this TK/Patty story and loooved it. It’s a different take on werewolves than the one I use in wolfverse, and it’s super compelling:

https://archiveofourown.org/works/24029188

32) Are any of your characters based on real people?

Hahahahahaha. (I mean...less so than you might think.)

33) What’s the biggest compliment you’ve gotten?

I absolutely love it when people write screaming flaily responses to my fic. Also anytime anyone says that they’ve been having a tough time and my story was exactly what they needed. Maybe my favorite was the responses to More Than I Could Ever Promise that told me it read like a novel; that meant a lot to me right then.

34) What’s the harshest criticism you’ve gotten?

Fandom is amazing; people almost never give me concrit. I did have someone ask once if I randomly chose when to stop writing and just ended my stories there. I was pretty offended, since of course that’s not true at all, but I can see where they were coming from: my stories tend to wrap up after the characters get together, and sometimes there’s a lot of potential story left to tell at that point. But stories have to end sometime.

35) Do you share your story ideas with anyone else or do you keep them close to your chest?

I tend to share them! I find other people’s enthusiasm to be strongly motivating, and sometimes people have awesome suggestions I wouldn’t have thought of.

36) Can you give us a spoiler for one of your WIP’s?

Well, I only have the one. XD Sid...is about to have an important conversation with Mario.

37) What’s the funniest story you’ve written?

Ooh, I’m not sure I’m the write person to answer! No idea, really. My recent TK/Patty is probably pretty funny. Or maybe Quality Time, where Patrick doesn’t understand why he keeps losing track of time when he’s cuddling with Jonny. Anything with a super dumb protagonist, probably.

38) If you could collab with any other writer on here, who would it be? (Perhaps this question will inspire some collabs!) If you’re shy, don’t tag the blog, just name it.

Wow, I have no idea. I’ve never really written a story with someone, so I’m not sure how that would work. I want to say astolat again but honestly I’d be too intimidated.

...no, I’m gonna say astolat. Even if I made a fool of myself I think I would learn a ton.

39) Do you prefer first, second or third person?

Third. For some original stuff I like first person, but third feels right for the hockey boys.

40) Do people know you write fanfiction?

My close friends do. Most of my friends have the vague idea I write fic, but they don’t know my username or anything.

41) What’s you favourite minor character you’ve written?

Patrick Sharp. No question.

42) Song fic - What made you decide to use the song xxx for xxx.

I will legit listen to a new album with a doc open to write down promising lyrics. Titles are HARD, y’all.

43) Has anyone ever guessed the plot twist of one of your fics before you posted it?

I think people guessed where the Tangled fic was going. Though I also liked the guesses that it would be about Patrick’s mullet. XD I don’t really mind when people guess twists -- in the kind of story I write, it’s more about the experience of reading it than about surprise!

44) What is the last line you wrote?

“His parents have always been very respectful of any choices Sid’s wanted to make. They haven’t pried into his private life when he’s tried to set boundaries. But they’re wolves, and they know him a lot better than Jordy does. Sid isn’t going to be able to keep it a secret from them what he’s going through.”

...no guarantee it survives in that form. :D

45) What spurs you on during the writing process?

Getting the story out of my head and into reality! Spoon out that lake, baby.

I also do love the prospect of posting it for people to enjoy and respond to. It’s one of the reasons I find fic so much more rewarding than original fiction, where the timeline to a readership is so much longer.

46) I really loved your xxx fic. If you were ever to do a sequel, what do you think might happen in it?

Things, probably.

47) Here’s a fic title - insert a made up title. What would this story be about?

This exercise might be going off the rails a bit. (If anyone does want to pose this to me, feel free!)

48) What’s your favourite trope to write?

Ooh. Mutual pining. Friends to lovers. Werewolves. :D

49) Can you remember the first fic you read? What was it about?

The first fic I ever, ever read was a random Kirk/Spock one I found through google, and I was like “OMG IS THIS WHAT AROUSAL FEELS LIKE”

50) If you could write only angst, fluff or smut for the rest of your writing life, which would it be and why?

Oh man. Angst, as long as it can have a happy ending. But it just wouldn’t be the same without the smut.

#this was fun #i guess i should go back to work now #fic #fandom #ao3 #tropes #hockey rpf #writing #patrick kane #jonathan toews #sidney crosby #geno malkin #tyler seguin #probably some other people

Name: Alison O’Brien

Writing Blog URL(s): @httpangelicjimin

What fandom(s) do you write for?: BTS, although I wouldn’t mind writing for other groups. Often, I have other idols that make cameos in my stories.

Age: 21

Nationality: Portuguese + French

Languages: Portuguese + French + English + Spanish

Star Sign: Leo

MBTI: ENFJ

Favorite color: pastel blue

Favorite food: pizza no doubt

Favorite movie: I’m gonna have to be a sucker and say monster’s inc. bc who doesn’t love Pixar

Favorite ice cream flavor: I’d say coffee, tho I love a good ol’ chocolate ice cream

Favorite animal: wolf, it’s my spirit animal

Coffee or tea? What are you ordering?: Coffee, for sure. Iced coffee or mocha

Dream job (whether you have a job or not): Ever since I was little I always wanted to be a singer but I guess I’m too shy for that ahah so I’d either say writing or advertising.

Go-to karaoke song: Break My Heart by Dua Lipa

If you could have one superpower, what would you choose?: The ability to change shape at will.

If you could visit a historical era, which would you choose?: The Victorian Era sounds brilliant to me. I would be a sucker for the dresses. Although, I also would’ve loved to be able to live in the ’20s. Great Gatsby made me dream countless times of all the amazing parties, with jazz playing in the background. The fashion was impeccable, and of course, to be alive at the same time as F. Scott Fitzgerald. I could even run into him at one of those glamorous parties.

If you could restart your life, knowing what you do now, would you?: I don’t think I would. Life has taught me some valuable lessons along the way but I was happy. Even when surrounded by those who didn’t have the best intentions in mind. If I had known all that I know now, I wouldn’t have lived as freely and carelessly as I did. I cherish those memories, even if they weren’t the best for me.

Would you rather fight 100 chicken-sized horses or one horse-sized chicken?: Alright so… that’s a weird one. And what makes it weirder is that people have made that same question with me; it was either one horse-sized me, or 100 me-sized horses. Huh… I do have some background with chickens chasing after me, so I’d go with the 100 chicken-sized horses.

If you were a trope in a teen high school movie, what would you have been?: I would 100% be the sucker that falls for the bad boy… ah… how I miss the high school bad boys.

Do you believe in aliens/supernatural creatures?: I don’t. Although I have no problem getting lost in those amazing universes where such creatures exist.

Fun fact about yourself that not everyone would know?: I absolutely love mango-flavored things but I cannot eat mango. Just the texture of the fruit…. Yuck.

Do you write fluff/angst/crack/general/smut, combo, etc? Why?: I write everything. So far, in the 2 years, I’ve been writing, I have experienced a little bit of everything. I think writing all those genres are important to complement the story.

Do you write OCs, X Readers, Ships...etc?: I never wrote anything that was mxm but I am ok with that. Besides, I have two stories out with an OC and the others are mostly with female readers, mostly because I write thinking about me with a member or one of my friends.

Why did you decide to write for Tumblr?: I was already using Tumblr to read other people’s work. When the thought of starting my own writing blog came to mind, it seemed the most logical option to use. I have only recently learned about AO3 so… yeah, Tumblr seemed the most “at reach” app.

When did you post your first piece?: The first thing I wrote was called Wonder and was posted on a private blog. I started writing it a couple of days after Euphoria by Jungkook BTS came out.

What inspires you to write?: Everyday situations are always a good base for me. I like to write moments that I have gone through. Besides that, I find inspiration on movies and tv shows and some Pinterest albums. Sometimes it’s just a random thought that comes to mind ehe

What genres/AUs do you enjoy writing the most?: I’d say college/high school aus. I did a collab with another writer from a college au and it was a lot of fun. Additionally, I have some wips I am meaning to work on and will soon be presented on my blog!

What do you hope your readers take away from your work?: I think that I wanted them to feel okay. Life can get pretty hard and reading, for me, has always been like a getaway. So, whenever I write, I hope that I can distract my readers from whatever is happening in the real world.

What do you do when you hit a rough spot creatively?: Whenever I’m struggling in life, it’s almost as if I lose my ability to write. I get really stressed, especially when I set deadlines. I try my hardest to push through. I believe that writing, even if it’s not to our liking, is better than doing nothing. I try to read more, to sleep better, and to seek inspiration.

What is your favorite work and why? Your most successful?: I don’t think I have a “most successful” work. I am pretty recent to Tumblr and am still growing bit by bit. As for my favorite, I’d probably say Dr. Love. It started out as a fun Valentine’s Day fanfic and I have some good stuff outlined.

Who is your favorite person to write about?: As I said, I love to find inspiration in my friends. Getting the feedback and how much they enjoyed reading what I wrote really is a heartwarming feeling.

Do you think there’s a difference between writing fanfiction vs. completely original prose?: I don’t think they are so different. Because when writing fanfiction, you’re not obliged to go 100% with the idol’s personality you’re writing. You have the freedom to marvel around in the worlds you create and make them do whatever you feel like would work best. So sometimes, it can be just like creating a whole new character from scratch.

What do you think makes a good story?: There’s a lot of things that are needed to make a good story. I mostly value the storyline. I don’t like it when things are rushed and prefer to read something others may find unnecessary but get more context. I love the small little details about characters that make me relate and emphasize with them. Also, a plot twist. I love to read stories that completely blow my mind and catch me off guard. Creativity is everything.

Would you ever repurpose a fic into a completely original story?: Why not? I don’t have a problem with giving different names to my characters as long as the story stays the same.

What is your writing process like?: I prefer to write at night. But, as I said before, sometimes there’s just an urge to write and I have to grab my laptop, or even the pull out the notes on my phone and type out some words for the story I’m currently working on. I try to create a coherent storyline as well. Plus, I have an amazing beta reader that always helps me with the plot and hears my ideas and complements them.

What tropes do you love, and what tropes can’t you stand?: I love the typical “good girl falls for bad guy” trope. I don’t care if it’s cliché, I just love it. Although, I hate those where the girl is portraited as weak and as if she would ever be completely happy and fulfilled if the guy is by her side; as if she’s helpless without him. Girl power you know? Aha

How much would you say audience feedback/engagement means to you?: It means A LOT. I think there’s no better feeling than receiving a piece of feedback, despite how small it might be. There’s always room for improvement and just the simple fact to know that someone took the time to read my work and found it interesting enough to send me their thoughts, I really cherish it.

What has been one of the biggest factors of your success (of any size)?: I believe that my growth for the past months I’ve been on Tumblr could be due to how active I am. I always try to engage with the people I follow and even when I’m not posting my works, I try to be around. I have big dreams for my blog and hope to one day have a large audience to read my stories, but for now, I am happy with the ones by my side already.

Do you think fanfic writers get unfairly judged?: Yes. A lot of people think that fanfic writers are mostly horny/crazy teens that are obsessed with some famous wannabe that couldn’t even care less for their existence. I think that’s one of the biggest issues with how society sees us. But I consider those to be amongst older people (perhaps 40+yo).

Do you think art can be a medium for change?: Of course. Art is one of the most personal ways of showing emotions, I believe. Being brave enough to show with the world your creations takes courage and I admire those who do it proudly. Art can be interpreted in so many ways; it overcomes all the barriers that there might be.

Do you ever feel there are times when you’re writing for others, rather than yourself?: The feeling can get to me sometimes but I immediately shut that down. There was a time when I was forcing myself to write things I didn’t appreciate or that didn’t follow my storyline just to make others happy and I had to give up on those projects quickly because it was driving me insane. I strongly believe that if we don’t write what we are passionate about, it will either come out sloppy or we will hate it. Writing what we like, even if some might consider it bad, is what we should do.

Do you ever feel like people have misunderstood you or your writing at times?: I don’t think so. Although, I don’t receive as much feedback as I’d like to, so I’m not certain.

Do your offline friends/loved ones know you write for Tumblr?: Only my boyfriend does and he’s totally cool with it ehe

What is one thing you wish you could tell your followers?: A big big thank you! I am so happy to have you here and I hope you can take some time to read over my works ehe I am always open to talk if anyone needs~

Do you have any advice for aspiring writers who might be too scared to put themselves out there?: Just do it!!! I know there are so many great writers out there and you might feel like you would bring nothing to the game but that’s not true. You don’t need to be scared ok? It will be alright. Just give it a chance. There was a time where I was scared too and now I have made so many great friends and meet so many great people through my writing. You can make it too!

Are there any times when you regret joining Tumblr?: No.

Do you have any mutuals who have been particularly formative/supportive in your Tumblr journey?: Yess!! I have made so many friends thanks to Tumblr! I mostly have to thank the amazing people of @bangtan-headquarters for accepting me into their network and making me part of their discord server. I’m not going to be @/ing everyone but I know I have made friends whom I will forever keep in my heart uwu

Pick a quote to end your interview with: “Life has no limitations, except the ones you make.” - Les Brown

Roommates - Part Four (1st half)

Ben X Reader roommate collab series

Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3

A/N: I’M BAAACK! Y’all I’m so sorry it took me so freaking long to finally write this! Life has been a lil crazy, but I really hope this was worth the wait!

(P.S the reason why I split Part 4 into 2 parts is because it’s been a HOT minute since I wrote a Ben fic and I’m one wordy bitch and have a new found appreciation for suspense. K BAIII)

So this series is the brainchild of mine and @wanderlustandsmut’s shared frustration of Ben muthafuckin Hardy. Honest to God, we basically talk daily about Ben so we took this concept to the next level and decided to write about it! Previous parts have been linked above, hope you all enjoy!

Premise: Ben X Reader are roommates and childhood friends…What happens when their mostly platonic relationship turns sexual??

Warnings: Fluff, a lil smutty goodness

Word Count: 2,234 (she’s long fam)

With the heavy bass of Saweetie’s summer anthem My Type lowly pounding on the walls of you and Ben’s humble abode, you bob your head to the catchy beat as you make your way across your room to get your outfit of the night. The excitement of having a date tonight was strong enough to damper your stay in tendencies, work has kept you very busy recently and Ben had been away for a month doing interviews and attending fashion shows. It had been a couple weeks since you and Ben’s intimate romp on the couch and you had not gotten any since (so to speak). So to say that you were excited to go out tonight was a bit of an understatement.

Even though you hadn’t seen Ben in person for a while, it’s not like you haven’t been in touch. Quite the opposite actually; you both text each other almost everyday, sending each other funny memes and reminders, because that’s obviously what roommates do!

Slipping on your favorite red lacy bralette and thong set, you smooth on your warm coconut scented lotions across your freshly washed body. With the potential of actually getting laid tonight, you were not playing around. Just as you were about to put the new black body con dress, your thoughts were interrupted by the ping alert on your phone. Clicking it on and glancing down at who sent you the message, your face falls into a frown immediately when you read the words:

So sorry to do this, but something came up and I have to cancel on dinner tonight! Let’s take a raincheck?

“Are you fucking kidding me right now?” you exasperate out loud, feeling severely annoyed at the situation. You had met this guy on Bumble a few weeks prior, and really hit it off. The guy had pursued you first by initiating the conversation. You both had similar tastes in music and travel and even talked about pet peeves. This guy already knew you had no patience for people that wasted your time so the fact that he pulled this shit on you more than peeved you.

“Boy bye! You are cancelled!” You say to yourself as you delete his number from your phone, not feeling guilty at all for ghosting him. With the slight disruption to your night plans, you turn up the volume of the music and dance your way into the kitchen, your mind set on making brownies, cuz what better way to spend a night in than wearing lingerie, dancing carelessly, while making sweet treats?

The brownie batter was made in record time, with the recipe ingrained into your mind and the sheer determination of living your best life powering the night, you were on a roll and you showed no signs of slowing down.

Balancing the pan with the brownies in your hands, you swayed your hips to the beat of the tempo, squatting lower to the ground to place said pan into the preheated oven. You shut the oven door, singing along to the song, turning around eyes widening in pure surprise.

You are greeted to the sight of Ben, looking especially gorgeous in a pink suit and a white shirt. His blonde hair seemingly longer since you last saw him in person, slightly disheveled from his habit of running his hands through his hair. Despite looking tired, with how busy his travel schedule was, Ben looked absolutely content with finally coming home, especially to a sight he had only dreamt of: you dancing in nothing but lingerie. In his eyes, you embodied all that it means to be devastatingly sexy and cute all at once.

“Holy shit! Ben I almost shat myself!” You shout breathlessly, slapping Ben’s shoulder “A lil announcement would have been nice.”

“Well, hello to you too love,” Ben laughed, his sea foam green eyes quickly tracking over your appearance before settling on your eyes “I thought you had a date tonight?”

“Nooope,” you reply, hopping on the counter and rolling your eyes in annoyance. “He talks me up these paste few weeks and then cancels without even explaining himself! What kind of guy even does that?” you huff, unconsciously pouting your lips and making Ben feel things in the process.

“Clearly, a guy that doesn’t deserve you,” Ben responds, shedding his pink suit jacket, draping it on the kitchen table and making his way over to you, stopping in between your legs. “It’s his loss, love.”

“I know, it’s just frustrating sometimes when a guy knows damn well he isn’t ready and will continue to convince you to waste your time on him!” you rant, venting your frustrations to your blonde best friend.

Ben nods understandingly and comes in for one of his ever famous bear hugs. If there’s one thing about Ben that’s trademark, it’s that he’s a tactile person. Physical touch is basically one of his love languages and not just in a sexual sense. Throughout your long friendship, it wasn’t uncommon for Ben to cuddle next to you on the couch during a movie marathon. And in the reverse, you didn’t hesitate to cuddle next to him and he would gladly wrap his arm around your shoulder.

“Feel better?” Ben mumbles into your hair right before you break away from his warm embrace.

“Much!” you smile, a smirk playing your lips “Now go shower, you stink!”

“Hey now! You can’t blame me, I just got off the plane!” Ben exclaims, lightly smacking your bare thigh. “Movie and brownie sesh?”

“As if you have to ask!” you chuckle, hopping off the counter to check on the brownies. It was tradition for you both to gorge on brownies and watch a movie when Ben came back from long work trips.

Ben turns around and fetches his jacket from the table before making his way to the bathroom. You can’t help but admire the way his arm and back muscles glide under the snug fit of his white tee shirt. As if on cue, Ben calls out, “take a picture it’ll last longer!” before turning around and looking at you from the hallway.

“Oh dear lord, why would I do that now that you’re back home!” you stick your tongue out, silently trying to calm your mind that Ben caught you practically gawking at him. How in the world did he even know?! He was turned away from you for gods sake!

Not too long after, the timer goes off and you retrieve the brownies, basking in the sweet chocolatey aroma that fills the kitchen. You let the brownies cool off while you go off to the living room to pick the movie of the night. My Big Fat Greek Wedding. Can’t go wrong with a classic, you thought to yourself. And it’s been a while since you’ve watched it.

“Ben! These brownies aren’t gonna eat themselves!” you call out, lounging horizontally on the couch, the plate of brownies sitting on your stomach. “I swear to God, you take freaking long showers. It baffles me sometimes that-“ the beginning of your small rant cut short at the sight of a freshly showered Ben, his blonde hair still damp, and his toned chest on display as he was only wearing boxers.

“That what, love?” Ben smirks at you, knowing exactly how his current appearance is affecting you.

“..nothing,” you mumble, feeling the heat rise in your cheeks, pulling yourself up to sit down next to Ben, handing over the plate of brownies.

You both started watching the movie and Ben didn’t tease you during it. Thankfully, the funny and relatable antics of the movie put a pause to the sexual tension and you were both laughing along to the film in no time.

Sighing in content, you place the plate with the small remainder of brownies on the coffee table and settle back to your spot next to Ben. When you turn around to look at your roommate, you can’t help but smile because your eyes are welcomed with the sight of a knocked out Ben, head tipped back, mouth slightly open with soft snores starting to escape. Poor guy, you thought to yourself leaning over his body carefully, as to not wake him, to grab the blanket.

Right as your hand made its way to the soft fabric, Ben let out a groan causing you to lose your balance and fall right on his lap. Luckily, a pillow was atop his lap before, thus providing a cushioned barrier to soften your fall.

“Ooof!” you mumble out, slightly freaking out because of the awkward positioning and the fact that just a pillow currently separates your chest from Ben’s crotch.

“Woah woah,” Ben’s groggy, deep voice interrupts your thoughts “If you wanted me that bad, you could have just said so love!”

“You are so so full of yourself Ben!” you exasperate, going on to explain the situation “I didn’t want you to get cold..” your eyes gesture to the blanket that’s still in your hand. His emerald eyes tracked yours and suddenly his hands grasped your body and pulled you on his lap. You settled your arms around his broad shoulders to keep your balance and he settle his arms around your hips in response, his fingers softly teasing at the lace of your panties.

“There, now I won’t get cold. Body heat does more than blanket ever will!” he smiles, his eyes seemingly looking into your soul, as if to reassure you that this won’t change your relationship.

“Hmm,” you sigh, adjusting your position on his lap, consciously testing out the waters of this sexually charged atmosphere. “I missed you, Ben.”

“And I missed you too, peaches,” Ben hums into your neck, reveling in the feeling of your warm body pressed up against his. Even though you were just sitting on his lap, the feeling of you being in his arms felt so damn right, so natural, so effortless.

His soft lips eventually made their way against your jawline and you hummed in delight, shift your hips slowly on top of his lap. It wasn’t too long after that you started to feel him getting hard and you could help but silently scream in your head.

“Already, Ben?” you smirk, tilting his chin up from your neck so you could look at him.

“Love, don’t be so surprised,” Ben explains, his cheeks becoming rosy. “You could be wearing just a burlap sack and I’d be ready to go in a second! You. Are. Stunning.” He emphasizes those last three words with firm kisses to each of your collarbones and the last one smack on your lips. Your lips latch on to his and all is right in the world. He sucks on your lower lip, silently asking permission to deepen the kiss and you happily oblige. This makeout session is getting hotter and hotter by the second, your hands exploring each other’s bodies. No words are exchanged, only actions.

“Oh Ben,” you moan aloud throwing your head back, in return pushing your décolletage closer to his lone of vision. Ben groans in appreciation and dives right in, placing wet kisses all over.

“You are so beautiful, love,” Ben murmurs lowly, his hands trailing down the cur of your hips, settling down on the round globes of your glutes, squeezing them. “Wet already?” he says, as he feels your drenched panties grinding on his hard cock. Truthfully, he just wants to undress already and finally feel your naked core against him.

“Ben, don’t be so surprised,” you laugh, lightly mocking his previous statement. “I was wet the moment I saw you in that pink suit!”

“I should wear it more often then,” he thinks aloud, shifting his hips up to meet yours, causing your eyes to roll back in pleasure.

“Ben, take me to bed please,” you say, letting your desire and emotions out in the open.

A small part of you was advising against this because going all the way with Ben, your best friend and roommate, could change the dynamic between the both of you. But, a bigger part of you and your gut was telling you to take that leap into the unknown, because oh honey, what if it turns out good, amazing even? That was a possibility that you were definitely willing to take that risk.

“Whatever the lady desires,” Ben says softly, his beaming up at you. What you didn’t know yet was that Ben wanted this too. “Wrap your legs around me peaches, I got you.”

With your arms and legs wrapped around this Adonis of a man, Ben walks you both to his room and sets you down gently on his plush bed. You go to take your bra off, but Ben stops you.

“Can I do it, please?” he whispers softly, his eyes pleading with yours.

“Oh yes!” you nod frantically. “Why are you whispering?”

“Because I don’t want this to go away, this all feels like a dream that I don’t want to wake up from,” Ben confesses, and your heart just breaks a little because you’ve never seen him so vulnerable and that’s saying a lot considering that you’ve known him for most of your life.

“Ben, look at me,” you say, bringing his hand to your chest so he can feel how fast your heart is beating. “Feel that? This is real.”
