kings rising highlights & annotations

chapter 7.5

(not a real chapter, i just decided to keep analyzing until i hit some kind of satisfying conclusion)

this is a special episode of "sam reads capri," in which i comment a bit more on chapter 7 so i can hopefully move forward and evaluate chapter 8 without constantly getting stuck on 7 again.

update after making the additional commentary: holy fuck, i think i solved it. to my satisfaction, at least. i'm really glad i did this.

i have noticed that capri chapters are often self-contained in terms of themes. like, the scenes that are stitched together are done so for a reason. in the case of chapter 7, this is especially interesting. we get the laurent slave stuff, the party, and then the intense lamen argument on the field where auguste died. at first i was almost annoyed that these two situations were put next to each other, because the laurent slave stuff bothered me so much. but then i began to wonder WHY they weren't separated into different chapters. what do they have in common, both thematically and in terms of my personal reading experience? to figure it out, i first have to summarize what happens even each individual scene of the chapter. here are my findings:

chapter 7 scene 1

damen and laurent approach marlas with their combined army. have some super awkward and stunted dialogue about staying in separate apartments. damen has an opportunity to reference a snarky joke, but doesn't. there is so much distance and hesitation, especially compared to their previous dynamic in prince's gambit (they shared a tent like every night and spoke very closely) and even captive prince (they hated each other so they just kinda said whatever the fuck). damen is extremely apprehensive about interacting with laurent in any kind of meaningful or personal way, and is very consciously restraining himself, as well as being restrained by his role as king.

chapter 7 scene 2

inside the fort, damen and laurent are immediately jumpscared by a hallway of slaves. like right in front of my salad. damen, who has already been experiencing massive discomfort and disgust with his own nation's customs, of which he briefly was a victim, continues to turn the slaves down. this is seen as disrespectful, but he's the king of akielos, so it's fine. laurent, meanwhile, seems not even to hesitate before stepping forward and choosing a slave like a kid in a pet shop ("i like that one"). the slave, isander, very obviously looks like damen, which damen notices immediately. laurent asks a little more about the customs of slavery, like the first night, and makes eye contact with damen as he says that he never got to command his previous bed slave (damen). then he asks the slave keeper to teach him how. the keeper says the slave doesn't speak veretian, but "to command any act of service is to honor a slave. the more personal the service, the greater the honor." aka: "he wants you to boss him around." laurent says "really?" and has isander come over, has him kiss his boot how damen had once (reluctantly) done, except isander is totally into it. laurent praises isander, isander's happy, and it makes everyone around them pleased, because the veretian prince is engaging with akielon customs. damen meanwhile has a salty thought about these people being stupid for thinking laurent would actually use the slave as intended, or even respect their customs, because there's no way laurent would actually fuck that guy, or any of these slaves. and damen would be better at undressing laurent anyway. laurent then has to get one more dig in, asking if isander can serve him in the baths, famously (between damen and laurent) a place where damen was embarrassingly turned on by his own attraction to laurent and punished for it. and laurent also says he's pleased by the idea of isander serving him at the party, also something damen did in arles. so basically, laurent just chose a slave that looked exactly like damen, gave him all the praise and affection he didn't give past slave damen and certainly not present king damen, promised a rebound speedrun of their greatest hits at arles in front of damen, all with complete composure and the plausible deniability of diplomacy.

chapter 7 scene 3

damen does not feel like this is a homecoming. the slaves make him uncomfortable. he is acutely aware of laurent in the queen's chambers to his king's chambers, and imagines isander tending to him (but not as well as damen could). he specifically imagines isander being asked to the baths, being flushed with pride to be of service, and then damen curls his hands into fists and thinks about politics instead.

damen arrives at the function to see laurent looking cunty as ever with isander beneath him, being affectionate and shameless and vulnerable. laurent calls damen "brother" as he approaches, knowing damn well that damen is not thinking of brotherly things at the moment. damen feels supremely awkward in his seat next to laurent, without his own slaves, and the awareness of everyone in the room that he'd once been the slave at laurent's feet. one of his generals then questions damen's loyalty to akielos and implies that he's doing favors for laurent because of their sexual relationship. damen just goes straight to denial and dismissal, but laurent decides to show off his cuff and own the fact that he tapped that, damen was his slave, even though damen is the guy who killed his brother. so people really should not fuck with laurent, or question their leadership. it seems to work, and earn him the respect of the generals. food comes out, damen awkwardly feeds himself and the arrangement displeases everyone. damen observes that isander, who is feeding laurent by hand, is clearly in love with him. this, we can assume, is not unrelated to the fact that damen started catching feelings for laurent back in book 2 when he fed laurent by hand. laurent asks a slave to play damen's favorite song, which mentions a guy killing another guy to take his city and has the word "brother" in it. laurent somehow knows this is damen's favorite, perhaps informed by the slaves, who have played it many times for damen before. damen doesn't want to hear it now. damen watches jord tells loyse, aimeric's mom, that he's sorry for her loss, which she gives diplomatic "token attention" despite the very personal nature of the situation. this is similar to damen and laurent's earlier strained interactions. damen then summons jord over for a conversation that basically amounts to jord saying "laurent knew who you were the whole time? damn that's crazy. wild that he really trusted you anyway, because he definitely still did. and he didn't trust anyone else before that, so you must have really been special." damen of course chooses this moment to look over at laurent, who is now basically cuddling isander as isander feeds him grapes, playing with isander's not-unlike-damen's curly hair. damen considers isander to be "a prince's new favorite." everyone starts leaving the party have sex with their slaves (i hate it here) and laurent does the same gesture with isander. damen remembers that time torveld told him, laurent's slave, that he (torveld) was jealous, and would trade places in a heartbeat. damen then excuses himself to chase laurent, but only finds a very confused isander, who says that laurent immediately abandoned him to take a ride once the crowd stopped looking. damen knows that laurent has gone to the field where his brother died to clear his troubled head, and follows.

chapter 7 scene 4

damen arrives at the field. laurent is there, more vulnerable than usual in terms of his clothing. laurent is surprised to see damen there for a split second, but then ices over. damen says that he thought laurent might want a friend, and we know that it's because jord unintentionally reminded damen that he's the only person laurent has let himself get close to since auguste's death, even though he's the guy who killed auguste. damen knows this isn't an easy place for laurent to be and wants to support him, even if it's awkward. he knows nobody else can support laurent, the way he can. laurent, meanwhile, says they can fuck if damen wants, and insists that he knows damen does. that it's all he really wants. laurent tries to goad him into admitting it, and damen tries to talk to laurent about his feelings about auguste. laurent deflects again and damen accepts that they're not having the auguste conversation right now. he earnestly admits that he hasn't been able to stop thinking about having sex with laurent. laurent deflects with a taunt/joke, damen is earnest again, although he does say jokingly that laurent fucked like a virgin. laurent deflects with a taunt/joke again, damen is earnest again again, adding that laurent also fucked like "you knew what you were used to." this particular earnest comment hits on laurent's sexual trauma with his uncle, although damen doesn't know it. laurent tells damen that he (laurent) can't take damen's "particular brand of honesty right now." damen earnestly tries to reassure laurent that he really did like sleeping with him, even if he (laurent) was inexperienced. laurent shoots back that damen would oh my god i get it. wait. i understand the chapter. I UNDERSTAND THE CHAPTER.

laurent says "you like it simple." in response to damen admitting that he liked sleeping with laurent, even though he's not that good at sex. "YOU LIKE IT SIMPLE" MEANS SLAVERY. laurent is referring to the things he's learned about akeilon slaves, things we heard him ask about earlier in the chapter: the first night, the fact that simply giving them a command is to honor them, the fact that they know and can play damen's favorite song by heart. laurent is referring to the simplicity of romancing/loving/fucking a person who has been trained to be romanced, loved, and fucked. a slave who "[knows] what [their masters are] used to." a person who isn't a real person at all. laurent has been observing how this system works all night, and this is him fully expressing his disdain in the most personal way possible. his disdain for akielon slavery, for his assumption of damen's preferences, and in a way, for himself. laurent knows that he could never be an simple option for damen, just how damen spent so much of this chapter holding himself back because knows he isn't an simple option for laurent. nothing about them is simple, in the way things are for a master and a slave. they can't be, and they shouldn't be.

but still... damen and laurent, in this scene, both wish things could be different from how they are. they wish things could be simpler, sweeter, so they could truly fit into each other's lives. but laurent has to be a cold bitch, in order to prove himself in his position. he can't very well say that he and damen wear those cuffs because they belong to each other. and honestly, i don't even think laurent believes that damen wants him, beyond him being a good fuck, as evidenced by the way he greets damen in this scene. being around isander probably made laurent feel insecure, knowing that isander is the kind of person damen fucks for recreation. laurent's proposition was basically a characteristically aggressive, control-freak way for laurent to offer his submission, because he thinks that's all damen really wants. i'm quoting sharp objects again: "sometimes when you let someone do something to you, you're really doing it to them." it's a twisted reflection of the "purity" of akielon slavery, much more similar to the dynamic i think we can assume that laurent had with the regent. and that's really all laurent is used to, besides damen.

four words. "you like it simple." and the entire chapter makes sense. the reason why this scene was in this chapter, juxtaposed with the slavery theme, makes sense. laurent's morals make sense, even if he's still functionally a hypocrite. laurent is protective of victims, people he sees as helpless and powerless and wounded. technically, isander is helpless and powerless, and a victim of the akielon slavery system. but laurent doesn't see isander, the individual, as a powerless, helpless, wounded victim. both because he's well-cared for and perfectly happy in his ignorance, incompatible with the image of "victim" laurent sees in his younger self and nicaise, and because deep down, laurent is jealous of isander too.

damen's response to those four words, "you like it simple," originally felt like an overreaction to me. but now i think i better understand what it means. All the breath left his throat. He stood, stripped, unready for it. Will you use even that against me? he wanted to say, and didn’t. Laurent’s breathing was shallow too, holding his ground.”

the "that" is slavery. both the practice in general, and laurent's assumption based on his new knowledge about the practice. damen saw laurent learn about the first night, and the proper method of commanding a bed slave. and damen knows that laurent knows he's been sleeping with slaves since he was a teenager. so logically, damen's reaction is to the realization that laurent thinks that damen fucked him as if he was a slave, and not a person. imagining him as a pretty object, groomed and submissive, noticeably and shamefully falling short where he is inexperienced. just like the regent.

which explains laurent's reaction, too, with the shallow breating. being around the slaves and isander and marlas must have made laurent more upset than he let on—about damen, about his trauma with the regent, about auguste—and he's only letting himself and feel and express it all now.

damen then makes himself change subjects, back to auguste. because talking about laurent's brother who he killed is somehow less complicated than their sex life. damen tries to reassure laurent that it was a fair fight and auguste wasn't in pain. laurent, unsurprisingly, responds with a taunt/joke.

horses pass by. laurent asks if damen sent them, damen says no. they find themselves in the same exact position they'd been in when they had their first night of true familiarity and companionship, in nesson-elroy. this part of the lamen greatest hits speedrun, they do themselves. the first time where damen felt not like a slave, but like laurent's equal partner. after laurent emptily re-enacting all of those kinky arles moments with isander, this is the thing that's too sacred to be done by anyone but the two of them. pressing up against each other in the midst of an adventure, free from the expectations of their true identities, barely able to contain the emotion between them. oh my god am i tearing up? i'm tearing up.

they pull away and damen tells laurent he isn't cold. damen knows he isn't cold. laurent wasn't cold when he tortured damen out of vengeful rage for the brother he loved, and laurent wasn't cold when he made love with his brother's killer. earnest, as ever. correct and they both know it.

laurent says they have to leave because of the riders, and then walks the conversation back to something damen said earlier, about it being a fair fight with auguste: "a fair fight? no fight's ever fair. someone's always stronger." and they leave.

laurent believes that everything is a power struggle, with one person in control and another person submitting. the strong and the weak, simple as that. this belief extends to intimacy and sex, which makes sense given laurent's sexual history and the veretian court. however, throughout the series we constantly see laurent's cynical outlook clashing with damen's earnest determination to act honorably. which makes the fact that laurent is the one against slavery between them, and damen is the one who has historically happily partaken, deeply ironic. and it makes it even clearer to damen that, to laurent, not only did he kill auguste—but he also made auguste look like the weaker man, adding insult to injury.

laurent never wants to be the weaker man, but also believes that people like himself—people who are decidedly not simple or trained into submission, who refuse to make themselves vulnerable because that would make them victims—can never truly be loved. so he'll choose to settle for being fuckable instead, and that choice gives him control. that's... that's probably why he didn't tell damen the truth about what he knew, in prince's gambit. because laurent assumed that if he was his real self, in his true complicated unsweet nature, damen wouldn't have wanted him in the same way, or at all. and just like jord said, damen was the only person laurent could trust.

damen wants to believe that things can be simple; not in the cynical way laurent implied, but in a way that's entirely earnest and vulnerable. he wants to be able to love and be loved without needing to prove himself the stronger man. he doesn't want to hold back, or follow customs, or be with a partner who is trained to get everything right. he wants someone real—the entire person, not just a body to fuck. he wants adventure and inside jokes, to be a not-slave but not-not-a-slave. he wants nesson-elroy, not arles or marlas. he wants to belong to laurent because he chooses to belong to laurent, and he wants laurent to choose him back.

either i totally just nailed this chapter analysis the second time around, or i overthought so hard that i came up with an entire unintended interpretation and made myself tear up about it. either way, good game, chapter 7. now i feel like i can move on.

#sam reads capri #capri #captive prince #kings rising #laurent of vere #damen of akielos #lamen #isander #the way my body PHYSICALLY REACTED when i Realized #i love!!! this kind of stuff!!!#digging into something and trying to make sense of it!#i KNEW there was more to this. my thoughts here might not be entirely accurate #but i do think pacat was adding more depth to the chapter than i initially assumed #i feel much better moving forward now to chapter 8 #when i tried before i kept referring back to my confusion with 7 #BRO i love reading and writing so much

Thinking back on the Ahsoka series, I know many people, myself included, drew parallels between Baylan Skoll and Kreia. They both show a pretty cynical outlook, and Baylan's plan is likely rooted in distrust of the Force, much like Kreia's. That's about where the similarities end.

Whereas Kreia infamously cannot shut the hell up, Baylan is the opposite, excessively cryptic. One reason I find Baylan more sympathetic than Kreia is that he at least thinks he's going to help people once he... does whatever he's attempting to do. Kreia pays lip service to the idea of helping people by rejecting the Force, but it's pretty obvious manipulation and her actions aren't meant to help anyone except herself.

I think the better comparison is between Baylan and the Exile.

Both were Jedi Generals, both were among the few survivors of the Jedi Order's near-extinction. What really sets Baylan apart from Kreia and makes him closer to the Exile is choosing to teach Shin. In an age of darkness where many Force-sensitives never discovered their power, Baylan found one and trained her. Certainly a non-traditional apprenticeship, but still with elements of Jedi culture, like Shin's padawan braid. The foundation is presumably similar. Shin thinks of herself as a Jedi, though Baylan says she's something "more" than a Jedi, whatever that means. Explain yourself, you enticingly vague dilf.

As far as we know, Baylan never joined the Sith/Empire at any point, to any degree. He wasn't an inquisitor, or any kind of imperial agent, and he seems to loathe Vader specifically. How he and Shin survived for decades is uncertain, but they must've kept themselves far from galactic society, far from the Empire. In exile. There's no loyalty to Thrawn, the admiral just happened to be where Baylan wanted to go and Thrawn's followers could help him get there. When he recalls the Jedi, he's saddened they were killed and wants to understand why it happened. The Order wasn't what Baylan wanted it to be. He's devastated that it's gone.

Baylan's not dark, he's wounded.

To the anon who sent me a link to another blog, I won't post your ask. I don't want to insert myself into a conversation happening in a space where I'm not part of. I don't even follow the blog and I try to stay away from answering asks that include links to other posts.

Suffice to say, I do agree with a lot of what has indeed been discussed there. I don't even think there's a point in labeling Muse as a sophomore album. We all know they worked on the tracks at the same time with Face. It is technically a second album, but in terms of production and chronology, it is like an extension to Face. So debates in terms of evolution cannot even take place.

I can understand why you brought that ask to my attention. I think it's healthy to look at an album/song/concept through a critical lens and when an actual Jimin fan is doing it, that's a good thing at least because that person is not going to trash talk him. Which considering the usual reactions, this is not that common.

I think that expectations for Jimin are always high and coming from everyone, including those who do not listen to his music. A song such as Like Crazy was not good enough. SGMB is of course not enough. SMFP2 was not good enough. I would say other songs from Face were considered not good enough, but I'm sure that only people actively interested in Jimin have listened to those. There's a criticism for everything so it's not like he can win in any way. And I know this sounds like I'm making him into some victim. That's not it. But I too use social media and I see it. That's just how it is. He doesn't get a vote of confidence for a myriad of reasons. At that point, you do have to wonder why people pay attention.

I don't have much to say about SGMB. Soundwise is similar to Closer Than This which I haven't listened, apart from the first time it got released. I don't think Smeraldo is as bad is it said to be. I think Jimin and his team were having fun with the name and decided to use it for a song. One that doesn't pretend to be something that it isn't. Having other expectations is just ridiculous and shows a lack of interest in what Jimin has been trying to do with his solo career.

Which hasn't taken off as much as I would like to. Him being in BTS and doing his military service have had a contribution to that. Maybe it will change once he comes back. Maybe not.

But I do want to point out that regardless of shortcomings here and there, I will cut him some slack simply because he's among the few who has been 100% involved in his album production. There's nothing wrong with choosing the songs and singing them. Not at all. But I will appreciate that Jimin was involved in writing the lyrics, and as a producer for most of Face and Muse. I think he took full advantage of that music camp. So what if he hasn't found his music identity yet? There's a timeline? Does it have to happen immediately? At least he hasn't reached a stage in which he has become complacent and have every song sound the same. If he finds that identity in 10, 20, or more years, then so be it. It is his journey.

Personally, I will refrain from making any in-depth analysis of Muse, not now and not immediately after release. I will take my time. It's the reason why I don't like writing reviews. I find that jumping right it, without having time to listen and digest the work does not work for me. Others can, and some critics are actually good at it.

For now, I just want to enjoy this period of anticipation, the music videos and the performances. I can't bring myself to get involved in debates or mean girl-ism over music. I don't have the mental bandwith for such things.

𝙷𝚘𝚠 𝚍𝚘𝚎𝚜 𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚑𝚒𝚍𝚍𝚎𝚗 𝚎𝚗𝚎𝚖𝚢 𝚕𝚘𝚘𝚔 𝚕𝚒𝚔𝚎?

𝙿𝚒𝚕𝚎 𝟷 → 𝙿𝚒𝚕𝚎 𝟸 → 𝙿𝚒𝚕𝚎 𝟹

Disclaimer: please read this before you go choosing one pile as I don’t want triggered people raging on my replies🥴.

Everyone has their own definition of “hidden enemy”, but I will explain mine (according to the knowledge I’ve gathered. I’m not making anything up here) since this reading was not done with the intention to raise suspicion/fear on people. A hidden enemy is no other than the projection of your shadow. It’s not something/someone to be afraid of, but another chance life gives you to learn more about yourself. Your hidden enemy describes your worst traits and whatever you can't stand to look at. It could have the face of anyone like your mother’s, the letterman's or your own.

I’m famous for not sugarcoating things in the readings I’ve provided so far, but I described things below how I saw/felt them and I can tell some of those scenarios are anything but pleasant and you might not like to hear about it. Don't force yourself to, please.

Remember to take what resonates and leave what does not.

𝙿𝚒𝚕𝚎 𝟷

Your hidden enemy is…

Your crave for power and having absolute control over everything going around you. I sense you have turned greedy in a new sort of way, as if you couldn't get enough of something (money aside). You are abusing one of your resources, squeezing all the juice you can without realizing you’re getting close to shedding the last drop. Running out of the lemons that life provided you with last time is a problem… especially if you didn’t work wisely to cultivate your own citrics.

You’re so caught up with your current mindset that you are unable to listen to your worried loved ones, while you remain committed to an already lost cause. Some think you've lost your mind and that you are on the defensive, even though you are yet to bite someone’s head off. It’s your behavior or most recent course of action telling on you instead.

Your peers have decided to put a prudent distance between them and yourself since they have foreseen your downfall and they don’t know how you would react after your loss. They’re not being mean to you on purpose, it’s a matter of self-preservation plus they’re giving you the space you actually need to put the pieces together on this process. They will get back to you if you open up to them and let yourself be guided.

If you have a professional partnership or you are the leader of a work group, this connection or project is falling apart and the others have decided to leave, but you continue to resist change. You are loyal to your beliefs and do not give up easily in the face of adversity, but even though you have the weapons and willpower of a champion, you are not fighting the right battle and that’s why you’re meant to lose. The real challenge is on hiatus, waiting to be noticed by you. It’s so small in comparison to what you’re putting up with now that no wonder you’ve overlooked it altogether. The Divine asks you to open your eyes and listen to what others have to tell you. Surrender to the plans the Universe has for you and to the change.

If you found these messages of any help, I’m offering a similar service here for this spooky reason.

𝙿𝚒𝚕𝚎 𝟸

Your hidden enemy is…

The amount of pressure you put on yourself in order to achieve your goals and the tendency to play the victim you have. I'll be honest with you, blows are coming from all directions. I see people demanding explanations or paybacks from you, the rate of inflation is messing with your business or your economy in general, and deadlines are around the corner. As if all I just mentioned wasn’t enough, you happen to be a bit of a masochist by picking up the first stick you spotted on the floor and now you’ve started beating yourself up. Please, stop!

This is not all your responsibility, pile 2. I see that you had the best intentions in mind when you wanted to carry a certain plan out, perhaps it was launching your business or moving to your dream place/country. But logistics can fail too and weeping as you self-loathe yourself won’t get you anywhere, but delay resolution for your personal conflicts.

For a group of this pile it has nothing to do with money, but timing. You gotta be patient and wait for things to detangle on their own. Do what you can to support yourself on the meantime or it’s your call to execute the B plan. You don’t have any? Then it is time for waking the magician that lives within you up and start designing a new strategy. Do justice to yourself! Please don't lose faith in your dreams.

𝙿𝚒𝚕𝚎 𝟹

Dear pile 3, you’re not the best nor the worst among the three piles I channeled for this collective reading, but I see you’re going for some deep transformation that would allow you to heal your mind and spirit. I hope you can stop mistreating yourself soon, and please don’t take my words to heart as I’m saying this with much love.

Your hidden enemy is…

YOURSELF and how poorly you think of your own skills. You’re feeling energetic and “balanced” some days but you’re an overthinker, pessimistic and overall mess the rest of the month. The only hell you’re living in is from your head. You lament the things you cannot have, when it is you who lacks the courage to go for them. Whatever you want is not far from reach, but you are afraid to stretch your hand and snatch it. You are terrified of your own success and being happy, for some it means being with the love of their life or achieving their goals.

You are like a still pendulum, in eternal waiting to be swung to some direction when you’re light enough to do it yourself. You’re a luminous being and prodigy as Jesus, but the moment you started looking down on your skills and dreams, you turned into Judas the traitor. I apologize once again if you find that my words are too strong, but these are the exact messages I am receiving. Sooner or later you will realize this or if you keep refusing “to see”, an external force could force you to face your fears.

Your mind became a labyrinth with each of your former ideas or projects tossed around. Although a bit confusing, this scenery simply shows how truly brilliant you are! Soon you will have the opportunity to pick up an idea or start over with a stable project. Good luck, darling.

Okay but why aren’t we talking about the political economic state of the world right now

There are multiple things you could be talking about here, is it:

A) The genocide of the Palestinian people that is unfolding in front of our eyes while the world's most powerful government backs it wholeheartedly, denying, unequivocally, that a genocide is occuring because they prefer to keep their most valuable ally in control of a region that they shouldn't actually be apart of in the first place, due to a forced regime that was created after World War 2 as a means to displace the native peoples of the land?

B) Hundreds of extremely powerful people being involved in a child sex slave scandal from an island that was known for holding trafficked children for the pleasure of said creeps, many of whom are responsible for the way parts of our world work?

C) Refer back to question A except add in that the entirety of the war is likely just another proxy, much like the war in Ukraine, for the United States to use as an excuse to send their most powerful warships to the coast of their allies' land under the guise of being "ready and willing to assist" while in reality being on the door step of the Black Sea, which is a set of waters controlled by Russia, essentially positioning themselves within a short distance of one of their largest enemies?

D) The monopolization of major companies owning smaller, "sister" companies in order to control production, manufacturing, and distribution of goods and services, enabling them to determine prices however they choose?

E) The divide between the wealthiest people on the planet and the poorest being so large that if the top 1% of the world were to give up 50% of their earnings, most of the world's issues, like hunger, famine, homelessness, and sickness, would be dealt with quite quickly? Except due to corruption and greed amongst said individuals that will never happen?

F) The United States being such a pharmaceutical and insurance company run country that medical expenses are most of the reason people tend to be in debt, even for simple procedures? How people are choosing not to take an ambulance ride for emergencies because of how much they'll have to pay? Or how surgeries that are required to save a person's life can be vetoed by an insurance company because it's deemed too risky?

G) All of the above

Sting x Male! Reader: Bad Day Turned Bright

Format: ficlet/oneshot

Pairings: Sting x Male! Reader

Warning(s): reader is having a bad day, no reason given

Author's Note: ngl I'm having a bad day and my memory is bad bc of the stress so I was forgetting what I was writing as I was writing it so... If it's bad that's why lololol

Navigation | Masterlist

Burrowing deeper into the bed, you ignored the sound of the front door of your apartment opening and closing, muffled idle chatter being heard. It was Sting and Lector of course, they lived here after all.

'"I brought late-night dinner!" Sting called, a happy tone in his voice. A stark contrast to your own gloomy mood

Your boyfriend grew slightly concerned; you didn't greet him when he came home and you're not even acknowledging his gift of food. He knew you were home; your shoes by the door were a dead giveaway. As he sat the takeout onto the coffee table, he told Lector to go ahead and dig in while he went to see what's up with you. Creeping into your shared room, Sting made his way to your side, leaning down to place a warm hand on your lap under the covers.

"You okay, babe?" He asked softly, tilting his head to try and get a better view of your face, despite you having wrapped the blanket around you, only your eyes and nose peeking out. He never thought much of the saying "eyes are the window to the soul", but it very much rings true when he sees your dull eyes reach his. Something happened and you were very upset and drained.

"Yeah, just .." you inhaled before releasing a big sigh. "Just a bad day..."

"Wanna talk about it?" Sting offered, but you shook your head. You just wanted to leave it and sulk before going back to normal. "Hm. Ya hungry?"

"M'not hungry, I ate a little bit ago," you lied, not wanting to leave your plush sanctuary.

"Oh ya, what'd you have?" Sting questioned, clearly seeing through you. He stood up the moment the "uh" left your lips and he yanked the comforter off your body. You had gotten so snuggly underneath it you helped at the cold air nipping at your warmed skin.

"Sting!?" You shrieked, flinching.

"No goin' hungry in my house!" Sting playfully yelled back. He gripped your ankles and pulled you towards him, ignoring your flailing limbs. One of the perks of being a mage and fighting people all the time is that he can just throw you over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes with no problem.

"Oi, you better put me down, you AirBud looking ass-"

"I'm not listening !~" Sting sing-songed over you, making his way back to the living room.

Lector was well into his own meal, having ignored your bickering as he's quite used to it. No surprise he was eating a fish of some kind while on top of the coffee table.

"You have arrived at your destination, thank you for choosing Drago Express," Sting joked in a horrible customer service voice, placing you safely on the sofa.

"Two stars." You muttered.

"Two?!" Sting gasped

"I would've given you one star, but the conductor boy was cute," you joked, Sting's bright personality letting you lighten up a little bit. As Sting sulked over his two-star rating, Lector beamed at you.

"(Y/N)! I didn't know if you wanted one, so I saved you a fish!" He looked so proud of himself, but you know Lector enjoys his fish as much as the next cat.

"Thank you, Lector," you pet his little head. "But I think you deserve it for doing your best today."

You chuckled as Lector began to celebrate his extra fish, trying you best to ignore Sting's intense gaze on the side of your face. He placed himself right next to you, just shy of being in your lap really, and wrapped his arm around you.

"(Y/N), my dearest," Sting began, a plauful warning tone in his voice. "Please," he genstured to the other food still placed on the table. "Feast."

Groaning you gave in, reaching for yours. You had your set meals from each restaurant so it wasn't hard to pick yours out. Seeing you open your food and eat it, Sting finally got started on his own food. As you listened to Sting and Lector talk about their day, you couldn't help but feel blessed. As irritated as you were that Sting ruined your plans to just brood and wallow in your own feelings, you knew it was for the best. Sting is oddly in tune with emotions despite seeming not to be, and he's especially in tune with yours since you're his boyfriend. He knew comfort eating wasn't healthy, but not eating can be just as harmful, so he always makes sure you've eaten properly. Despite seeming like a blockhead to others, Sting can be really smart and caring, making you feel better without knowing what's bothering you.

Taking another bite of your food, you started to formulate a plan to thank Sting for loving you, even on your off days.

Samee like i don't ship them like that, they could reveal their partners tomorrow for all i care but I'm interested in knowing what they think/feel about eachother lol

About the military though ngl i used to think they had it all planned for long time nd all but after seeing their conversation in car where they said they didn't really met up much n all i was like okay maybe enlisting together was never in their head at that point so i was more curious to know how do you go from "we didn't meet/call eachother" on July 14th to applying for Buddy program at the end of Aug or start of sept like that's just 1.5 months difference. I mean if I'm not exactly much in touch with someone why would i make a plan to enlist with that person? I'm not saying by not meeting often jm and jk became awkward or strangers but all members have gone individually, RM- tae did their training together ig(correct me on this one) so jikook should also think of Enlisting individually right? like that's what's first would come to ur mind......Why would my mind go to something that k-pop idols haven't done before? like jikook are literally the first two idols to use companion system for their enlistmemt so how did that come to their mind?

Then i wonder about jk's comment of him wanting to join special force which is again very known thing to armys like that's what you'd expect from him so that ain't surprising but then why did he not go to special force? is it because of tattoes? cause ig some ppl can't go there if they have visible tattoes, but some says they can go to some units of specific force even with tattoes so which one is correct? I have seen ppl from special force with tattoes like jk's but their whole service was yrs long nd not just 1.5 yrs...so again what's the reason? Has jk talked with V about joining special force? Had him and V ever talked about joining special force together? Given tae is also in special force. I'm pretty sure tae got the idea of special force because of one of his wooga frnd cause he's also done special force.

Has someone suggested this to them? does this decision has something to do with mental health? taemin had faced some things in military because of which he was sent to social service mid service ig so was jm worrying about that? is it something that concerns jk's mental health? Was it because they wanted to be around eachother? Or was it because they thought rather than being alone in MS it's better to be with your frnd nd that way they could depend on e/o for emotional support. I wanna know how they came to that decision. See the decision was Mutual is given cause if not they simply wouldn't apply but I'd love to know the reason behind it.

I don’t want to to touch on everything you said, simply because I will talk for days and lose my train of thought.

However, I think the biggest points are the fact that as you said, it is interesting that two people who from their own mouths are saying they didn’t meet up nor call each other as often as they used to, decided to do a joint enlistment. Of course, JM and JK had known each other for a decade by the time they chose to enlist, so it’s very possible they did choose the buddy system before separating in 2023. It is possible they reconnected because they knew this was what they chose, and they didn’t want to go into it, if they got it, with much distance between them. There’s no way to know if they decided after Connecticut or before, because they’re not going to tell us why they drifted for a bit.

As for their enlistment overall, I too wonder what their motivation was. I said it think it’s because they simply do not like being apart, and I stand by that thought, but you are right in wondering what it might actually be.

They did not have to enlist together. None of the other members even went at the same time except Tae and Joon, and given how much closer Tae and JK seemed during 2023, you’d assume they would have chosen the buddy system, but they didn’t. Why? I don’t know. It’s possible Tae wanted to do something that he wouldn’t qualify for had he done BS, but I don’t think it’s a tattoos though, as I saw someone say JK would have still been eligible for special forces.

I don’t know the detail of it of course, but let’s say for arguments sake JK couldn’t enlist in certain divisions because of his tattoos, Jimin’s arms are clear. All his tattoos except his moons (which are easily covered) are small, so he wouldn’t have had the same limitations as Jungkook. Unless the rules prohibit wrist/finger tattoos. But again, his are so small, a long enough sleeve covers his wrist, and unless he’s constantly waving and giving high fives, I don’t see how those would be an issue.

So without digging too deep, just on the surface, it’s hard to conclude they used the buddy system for any reason other than, they wanted to ensure they were together if possible. Especially since their company has no say.

Is it possible they have more mental health things going on than we know? Absolutely, and that could easily be a factor, but we can’t just decide that and run with it. They’ve both said they’re grateful to have the other by their side during this time, and again, we know now that leading up to the application date and their enlistment in general, they made the choice to be with each other for multiple trips.

Meaning, dating or not, they knew what was coming down the line and chose 1) to travel together to reconnect after a bit of time apart, and 2) to at least try and get approved for joint service.

Therefore, I’m back to the only conclusion I’ve got, lol. Jimin and Jungkook didn’t want to be separated. Because you, me, and anyone else with common sense has pointed out, they didn’t need to use the buddy system to join at the same time. Nor was it a guarantee anyway, so calling it fan service or a business decision to ensure BTS all came back by 2025, is illogical. Because had they been denied, they would have had to enlist alone, no matter their state of mental health or what was paid to them by the company, you know?

The buddy system only works because they got it, so nothing else could have spurred it since it wasn’t a shoe-in. It was literally them playing the lottery, because they wanted to try and be together. Why? That’s the mystery, lol.

Hippo my lovely 💕

21 - this is a very long hug now sort of hug

If it sparks joy 💕

It did! Eventually (sheepishly kicks at the dirt) Enjoy, lovely 🦛💞🐥

For the full experience may I recommend

if i’m being honest (it scares me to death) | T | 2926 words

Just got in. See you tomorrow.

Buck pockets his phone and enters the apartment — it’s not home, never really has been — his movements slow and easy, like he’s floating. Buoyed by the sort of love and contentment that can only come from spending an evening at the Diaz house. A few precious hours of dinner, then playing Boggle and Scattergories until Chris begged off to play an online game with his friends. His limbs are loose and humming, like his veins have been injected with liquid starlight. Even the air around him feels syrupy sweet and pleasant. The kind of thick, protective cover that nothing negative could hope to ruin.

He drops his keys in the bowl and immediately walks to the fridge to put away the Tupperware container of leftover mushroom and chickpea meatballs with zoodles for tomorrow’s lunch.

Eddie picked the recipe, saying he wanted to try it. No particular reason, he just did. He’s been doing that more lately, choosing dishes he would make anyway and subbing in vegan ingredients.

Buck took notice immediately and makes sure to show his gratitude in heaping platefuls and commenting on how delicious it all is. He knows from experience that it’s all too easy to end up with dried out, inedible food that shouldn’t be fed to anyone. It’s the least he can do for his best friend making the effort to cook something special just for him. Even if said best friend will never admit that’s why he’s doing it.

At times, if Buck lets himself look too closely, it feels a lot like something else. These acts of service feel a lot like love. And it is. The sort of love two best friends who would do anything for each other have. Buck’s not naïve enough to think that Eddie wouldn’t do the same thing for any of their friends or family. But at the same time it’s also more? Deeper. A sacred bond or formula shared just between them. Like learning Bobby’s chili doesn’t work without the cocoa powder. Someone could try a million different ways and it would never turn out right.

He wants to be brave enough to name this thing they’ve been building since promising to have each other’s backs. This relationship forged in fire, mud, and tsunamis. Built on collapsing foundations, busted down doors, lightning strikes, and ‘Because, Evan’.

If he could be part of Eddie and Christopher’s lives for everything, he would do it in a heartbeat. But that always seems like too much and not enough to ask for. Because Buck is too much and not enough. Acceptable in measured increments for precise amounts of time. For now — probably forever — he tucks that dream away in favor of focusing on what he does have.

With the leftovers safely put away, he grabs a beer, twisting off the cap and listening to it slide across the countertop, finally slowing to a stop next to the utensil caddy. It’s… loud. Too loud for such a small object. Or maybe the apartment is just too… cavernous? Empty?

Buck leans back against the counter, taking a lengthy sip and visually assessing his space. He has things. The right amount of things, even. After all, he’s one single person. How much could he need? He drowns the thought with more beer when his mind tries to remind him of six cheese lasagna and couches and having the answers.

He decides it’s not worth ruining his still relatively excellent mood by worrying over something as trivial as a chunk of metal, and moves out to the patio. It might do him some good.

The atmosphere is filled with the sights and sounds of the city at night. A complex symphony of traffic, music and people wrapped in an LED haze that starts at the street and drifts slowly upward. It’s a familiar melody that, just like the apartment, isn’t home but does its best to provide comfort.

He manages to pick out a few stars peeking through. Not full constellations. Those are impossible, staying hidden like the ancient giants they are. It’s nice to still be able to see the twinkling specks, even if they’re nothing like some places he’s been.

On the ranch in Montana he would lay on the hood of his Jeep and stare for what felt like hours. Feeling small, but also like something was waiting for him. Like he was part of something bigger that he just hadn’t discovered yet. Looking at the sky now doesn’t feel that way. More like being at sea, adrift and searching. Waiting to be found, though he’s not quite sure by who or what.

It reminds him of a documentary he watched once about otters. The mothers fluff up their pup’s fur and leave them to float while they hunt for food. The babies are powerless to do anything except spin in a circle until she returns. Sometimes Buck feels like that. Like somebody has given him enough support to turn in place but not actually go anywhere.

He casts a look at the table and chairs and finds himself thinking of fixing, being at your worst, trying again anyway, and— no. Clearly being outside isn’t helping, so Buck returns indoors, hoping the television will prove to be enough of a distraction.

As he searches for something to watch, it seems reasonable he just needed a better place to focus his attention that isn’t his own inner chatter. He’s already slightly irritated that the vibrant glow from earlier has faded so significantly. Maybe there’s still a chance it can be recovered.

He quickly settles on a cooking program and that gets him smiling again. He doesn’t even particularly care what’s being presented, just that it evokes the same warmth as being welcomed home and brown eyes with flecks of gold. At least until the next episode comes on.

This one features a couple, a husband and wife posed in their studio kitchen. They’re surrounded by pristine white cabinets, gleaming mixing bowls, and perfectly measured ingredients that will make a stunning something-or-other. When it’s complete they’ll pull it from the stainless steel double oven to be served on the prop table that’s been set like a photo shoot for Better Homes & Gardens.

Buck can’t help but notice how they move in harmony, fluidly traversing around each other, like a ballet. Like partners. Maybe it’s all for an audience, but it looks genuine. Not the type of movement that’s choreographed or faked. He stares, scrutinizing every instance of adoring looks and playful gestures until something within him finally cracks.

The hollow ache that usually lives in his chest suddenly feels deeper. Wider. Like it may actually break through and tear him apart, causing him to wonder how such emptiness can feel so massive. As if his ribs are slowly cracking open, snapping one by one, stretching the skin while crushing his lungs and heart. He wants to scream or something. Anything to untangle the mess sitting under his sternum.

Through rapid, gasping breaths Buck tries to refocus, to take himself back. Even just fifteen minutes. Is that so much to ask? Returning to blissfully, ignorantly, mindlessly observing?

Despite what he wants, the screen remains unchanged. Mr and Mrs Fucking Perfect carry on with their routine, blurred and watery in front of him. And Buck – he’s spinning in circles again, too helpless to do anything except wait. Except he doesn’t want to. He’s so tired of drifting and circling and clinging and pausing.

It’s just- when he’s the guy who’s always trying to fix things that are out of his control… what is he supposed to do?

🍠🍠🍠🍠🍠

Eddie puts the last of the dry dishes away in the bottom cabinet, and not a moment too soon. He’s got an early shift in the morning and has to get to bed. He could have left them in the rack for tomorrow, but it gave him extra time to mentally replay the earlier parts of the night. Like watching Buck smile, all pleased and fond, every time Eddie thanked him for a helpful cooking tip. Or watching Chris break out in a full belly laugh at one of Buck’s corny dad jokes.

It really is a form of self-torture sometimes, having Buck over for dinner and homework and board games. Pretending they’re a family and this is a normal everyday thing he gets to have.

He tells himself it’s for Chris, too, but he also knows that’s a blatant lie. If Chris wasn’t a factor Eddie’s pretty sure he’d invent any and all reasons to spend more time with Buck.

Eddie sighs and lays the dish towel over the sink edge. The ridiculous one that says Silence of the Yams over a print of a sliced up root vegetable. It came as part of a set Buck and Chris gave him last Thanksgiving. It’s probably not a coincidence he uses this particular one the most. The shade is a nearly identical match to the burnt orange sweater Eddie always likes on Buck.

There are times it feels like he’s not the only one with all these feelings welling up inside, trying to prevent them from bleeding out through his pores and spilling onto Buck. Like there’s something in the casual touches and glances that pass between them. Something electric and charged that’s more than bros or friends and decidedly not platonic.

One day, maybe, he’ll work up the nerve to tell Buck what’s in his heart. To ask him on a date and hope he’s not fucking up the best relationship that’s ever happened to him and his son. For now he’ll take whatever Buck is willing to give. Even if it only ever comes in the form of shoulder nudges, zoo trips, and Keeping the Peas housewares.

He starts his nightly routine, walking a path through the rooms, turning off lights and making sure doors are locked. When the final throw pillow is returned and the last pile is straightened, he hears the tentative knocking.

The noise immediately puts him on edge, setting off his protective instincts. Nothing good can come from someone being at his house this late. Christopher is in bed and Buck has his own key. Eddie tiptoes across the floor to peer through the peephole, shocked to discover who’s waiting on the other side.

“Buck?” Eddie turns the deadbolt, opening the door wide for his friend.

This isn’t anything like the night he came seeking respite from Maddie’s well-intentioned visitor train. Instead of standing tall, barreling past Eddie, Buck stares straight ahead, unblinking and motionless with slumped shoulders that make him appear small. Eddie can see how his eyes are puffy and red-rimmed. He looks utterly broken.

Before Eddie can say his name again, Buck surges forward over the threshold. He falls into Eddie, wrapping his arms around Eddie’s waist and burying his face into the crook of his neck.

Eddie pushes the door shut, not bothering to listen if it latched correctly or not. He returns the embrace, one hand on Buck’s back, the other gently petting his hair as Buck’s body shudders against his own.

He gratefully absorbs each whimper and sob. The way thick, searching fingers clutch at his shirt.

“Shhhh, hey. I’ve got you.”

Buck was fine a few hours ago. What the hell could have happened since then?

“I- I’m sorry, Eds.” Buck begins to pull back, rubbing away the wetness on the sleeve of his maroon hoodie. “It’s late. I shouldn’t have- I’m gonna–” He jerks his chin toward the doorway.

“Uh-uh. None of that.” Eddie lightly grips Buck’s elbow, a silent question. Buck hesitates, looking between Eddie and the entryway, before he acquiesces to letting Eddie tug him closer again.

He wants to do any number or ill-advised things like hold Buck’s face between his palms, kiss away every tear, and murmur every wonderful thought he’s ever had about the man in his arms until Buck believes them. For now he settles for cradling and rubbing soothing patterns and silently loving. He’ll stand here all night if that’s what Buck needs. He can do that.

“I don’t know what happened. All I did was turn on Food Network,” Buck warbles. Then he shakes his head against Eddie’s shoulder, exhaling a world weary breath. A puff of air expelled by someone carrying the universe and trying to make it appear no bigger than a classroom globe. Eddie’s, unfortunately, more than a little familiar.

“That’s not true,” Buck confesses.

The silence returns and Eddie waits for Buck to elaborate on what he means. It isn’t long before the explanation comes, so muted that Eddie almost doesn’t catch it.

“I’m tired, Eds. Of pretending to be happy alone and waiting to be chosen. Tired of holding back just so the wrong person likes some version of me that isn’t even authentic. It’s just all so exhausting.”

I’d choose you. Three words Eddie can’t bear to make himself say out loud, because his best friend is hurting and now is most definitely not the time for that kind of confession. So he holds onto them a little longer, ignoring the sting where they settle back into his heart. A burning pain that only becomes more intense when Buck burrows impossibly closer, continuing to cling to Eddie like a lifeline.

Buck speaks again, sounding unfathomably small and heartbroken. “Am I that hard to love?”

“No.” Eddie’s answer is immediate and unwavering. As true as the night he first decided in front of their captain and an exploding ambulance.

Buck responds with a skeptical huff. “You have to say that because you’re my best friend.”

Eddie slides the hand on the back of Buck’s neck forward, grazing over his cheek and under his chin until he can tip his head up. Even in the darkness, Buck’s eyes are exceptionally blue. Endless depths that manage to steal Eddie’s breath and reflect back every future he yearns for.

It’s been ages since Eddie’s given any serious thought to last first kisses or until death do we part, but he would swear under oath that’s what he sees now.

“No,” Eddie reiterates. This should probably be more difficult and be ratcheting up his anxiety. But it doesn’t. Instead he’s wrapped in a distinct calm. An undeniable certainty, because what he’s about to say is true and however Buck reacts won’t change it. “I have to say that because I love you.”

Buck blinks and his mouth falls open in an imperfect o. “Y-you what?” He whispers.

Now that he’s said it once, a second time is that much easier. “I said I love you. And I will always choose you. All of you. Over and over. Every version. If you’ll let me.”

Buck’s eyelashes flutter, fresh tears starting to pool there, and he looks at Eddie with such awe and disbelief, like he can’t accept that someone would genuinely want him. Not that he doesn’t understand the feeling, but it shatters Eddie to think Buck has spent even a second believing he’s unlovable.

“Of course I’ll let you. How is that even a question?” Buck asks, as if they haven’t been dancing around exactly that for years. He stands to his full height, never letting his hands drop, beaming down with the smile Eddie’s claimed as just for him. “But, Eds?”

“Yeah, Buck?”

“This has been a really long hug. Not that I’m complaining. I was just kinda hoping I could kiss you. Finally. I’ve been kinda wanting to for a while.”

“Yeah?”

“Yeah.”

And who is Eddie to deny him that?

“Please,” he sighs into the diminishing space between them. His tone borders on a plea, but this is Buck. The person who has seen Eddie at his most vulnerable, who sees Eddie more than he’s ever allowed anyone else.

They drift closer until their lips brush, just enough that Eddie gets a taste of Buck’s horchata lip balm. Eddie can’t understand needing more than the 3-pack he can get at the grocery store, but right now he’s not complaining about the sweet, cinnamon flavor.

Eddie deepens the kiss, pausing when he can make himself break away, just enough to murmur ‘I love you’, wanting to make sure Buck knows he’s all in. That this isn’t a fluke or temporary, pitying lapse in judgment.

Because he does, and he is, with every fiber of his being. He loves him, loves him, loves him.

Suddenly Buck pulls back, breathless and wide-eyed, his already plush lips kiss swollen, tempting Eddie to bring them back together. “I just realized I never said I love you, too. Because I do a-and I really need you to know that.”

Eddie hums appreciatively, claiming Buck’s mouth again, unable to stay apart any longer now that he knows what it is to kiss Evan Buckley. He submits to the love and adoration and the way they fit like two puzzle pieces, further solidifying how they’re meant to complete each other. He doesn’t know how he ever thought he knew what love was.

There are infinite meanings for different people. For Eddie, it’s painted in hues of burnt orange and blue. Folded in cheesy puns and always having a fresh container of oat milk in the fridge. Stated in facts about retrofitted ceiling tiles and light fixtures; conveyed in I know you did, what are you afraid of, and I misunderstood the assignment.

It’s following his heart on the winding path that led him to a reality better than any fantasy.

I am doing very minor revisions of Daemon’s Handbook (mostly formatting and continuity errors), and I wanted to do some behind-the-scenes commentary before too much time passes and I forget my original thoughts. Here’s Chapter 2!

(Note that these commentaries aren’t canon to the verse until/unless the author writes them into the series. I might change my mind on a few points later, but these are the thoughts I had while writing.)

Those gold dancing slippers with pink roses and sunbursts? Aegon 100% bought those for Jace (in Sunfyre’s colors of course), and that’s why she freaks out about them in Chapter 3.

Helaena has FRIENDS in this verse! Because she gets to grow up with three kinswoman close in age to her! Yay! I imagine her spending a lot of time with Jace, Luce, and Joff while they’re all living at the Red Keep.

That black and green three-pointed star is supposed to be some kind of reference to the three main couples of this series. Please don’t ask for details because I don’t have any 🙈

Rhaena and Baela’s crushes on Helaena and Jace, respectively, have begun sprouting in this chapter. They are very embarrassed by their dad acting like a weirdo in front of their crushes.

Daemon has a mental diatribe about Aegon’s dissolute ways, but in actuality Daemon would probably enjoy hanging out with someone who can keep up with him in Flea Bottom. Alas.

Neither book nor show canon says anything about Aegon or Aemond squiring, but I think healthy young princes would be expected to squire, like Daeron. I’m thinking Aegon strongly disliked the idea of having to squire (which involves a lot of acts of service) so maybe he a) threw a fit or b) used some weaponized incompetence until people gave up. 😆 But show!Aemond would like the idea of becoming a chivalrous knight, and Criston seems like a good option to squire for, considering Criston’s proximity to Alicent.

In this verse, Rhaenyra chooses to move her family to Dragonstone for different reasons than canon (where she felt pushed out by the Hightowers). Here, she’s mostly concerned about Jace and Aegon. I’ll delve into more detailed commentary later for Chapter 6, but basically, the kids have hit puberty and Jace and Aegon have already been caught sneaking around to kiss and hold hands. You can’t really keep them apart if they’re living in the same castle, so Rhaenyra’s solution is to relocate her daughters. Rhaenyra still plans to commute to court as needed (like in Chapter 4), but it’s not the most politically expedient move even if she’s decided it’s best for personal reasons.

We get our first glimpse of what the Jace/Aegon relationship is like. Jace spends a good amount of time trying to make Aegon act nicer (especially toward Aemond; no Pink Dread in this verse). She tends to use the carrot instead of the stick, which is Aegon’s preferred learning method, so Jace is more successful than Alicent who does it the other way.

Daemon doesn’t believe in anything he can’t see with his own eyes so he’s not superstitious, BUT Joff makes him question a lot of things. 😆 He figures out real fast that regardless of whether she’s actually witchy, it’s best to stay on her good side. (Otto also knows something is up with that girl lol)

I’m definitely exploring Joff’s dynamic with Laenor in a future installment in this verse. For now, let’s just say it was complicated. As precocious as Joff is, she’s only 6 and she doesn’t actually know everything.

“Window closes, heart opens, door opens, heart closes.” Helaena’s prophecy is about Aemond’s eye and the Luce/Aemond relationship, though I originally planned for it to play out differently (more to come in Chapter 4 commentary). As the fic currently stands, the prophecy breaks down like this: window closes = Aemond loses his eye. Heart opens = Luce opening up to Aemond again. Door opens = the rookery door when Daemon messes with the letters. Heart closes = Luce and Aemond’s three year estrangement.

YOON KEEHO (윤 기호) - LOVE FOREST (female reader x Keeho) 🔞

⚠️ WARNING: THIS CONTENT CONTAINS SMUT SCENES AND FOUL LANGUAGE! 🔞 🔞

A/N: This is my first time to write a fanfiction for Keeho of P1harmony and I am currently stanning them and he became my ultimate bias.

I wrote this one-shot fanfiction while I am at work and I became bored because there aren't so many tasks to do at work so I suddenly had the guts to start thinking a scenario for him and wrote this one-shot fanfiction. So, I hope you will like my first one-shot fanfiction for Keeho my beloved readers! :)

No. of words:9.1k

Y/N is hanging out with her friend named Jinri in their apartment.

"So, what are you going to do during the vacation?" Jinri asked.

"I don't know. I wanted to spend time with my family in the province too but since they will be having a business trip in the US, I won't be able to spend time with them. I think I will be just here alone and have some "me" time," Y/N said.

"I have an idea," Jinri said.

"What is that?" Y/N asked.

"Download and try our app," Jinri said which made Y/N surprised.

"Jinri, I told you many times I don't want to try the app of the company where we are working, okay?" Y/N said.

"Why not? Also, it doesn't mean if you will hire to be your private escort it means there will be sex involved at all times and private escorts can just accompany you and will just hang out with you," Jinri said which made Y/N sigh.

"Fine! I'll try the app. Did you also try using the app?" Y/N asked.

"Yup! Many times already and one of them became my friend," Jinri said as she smiled.

"Oh Really? But sorry to ask you this, by any chance did you have sex with that guy?" Y/N asked.

"Nope! To be honest, sometimes we hang out with our other friends. Also, he is really a good and funny guy," Jinri said.

"Do you like him?" Y/N asked.

"Nope! To be honest, he is not my type. I think that guy might be your type," Jinri said.

"Why do you think so?" Y/N asked.

"I don't know. I just feel it when you see him in person," Jinri said as she winked at her which made Y/N chuckle.

"Anyways, I will download the app now and check out the available man that can accompany me for the vacation this week," Y/N said.

"Okay! But do you also have a plan to have sex with the guy that you will choose?" Jinri asked which made Y/N gulp.

"I don't know. It depends on the situation," Y/N said, which made Jinri slightly laugh.

"Oh okay! I understand, Y/N," Jinri said. At that time, while Jinri is doing something in her room, Y/N downloaded the Private Escort for Hire app and made an account. As she checked out each man's profiles nothing piqued her interest because some of them just wanted to have sex and nothing else. Then there was a man who suddenly piqued her interest because he wanted to hang out with other people like they are close friends but...

"Why does it have to be that expensive if I will just hire him as my private escort and hang out with him for a week?" Y/N said loudly and sighed, then Jinri heard it.

"Why? Can you show me who was the guy you are referring to?" Jinri asked, then Y/N showed his profile and Jinri slightly smiled.

"He is cute though! He might have reasons why his service is expensive," Jinri said.

"I think so. I bet this guy named Keeho has a lot of clients and I think he is a high-class private escort," Y/N said.

"You really want to hire him?" Jinri asked.

"Yes! I want to hire him badly but his service is so expensive," Y/N said which made Jinri laugh.

"I am not gonna lie, but you sound so desperate," Jinri said which made Y/N sigh.

"I just think I will really have fun with him for a week when I meet him and talk to him. I think I'll just check out other men," Y/N said.

"Okay! I hope you will be able to find the guy that can accompany you on this week's vacation," Jinri said.

"I hope so!" Y/N said as she sighed. After an hour of checking out the other men's profiles, she just couldn't stop looking at Keeho's profile and Jinri noticed it and smirked.

NEXT DAY...

While Jinri is going to the cafe to buy some drinks for them, she suddenly decides to call someone before she goes back to the apartment.

THEIR CONVERSATION:

Jinri: Keeho!

Keeho: Oh! Hey, Jinri! Why did you call?

Jinri: Well, I told you a lot about my friend who is living with me in the apartment, right?

Keeho: Yes! Why?

Jinri: To be honest, she started to check out the app and she suddenly found your profile.

Keeho: Okay? Then what happened?

Jinri: She wanted to hire you so badly because she thinks she will have fun with you.

Keeho: Really? But why didn't she hire me?

Jinri: Your service is so expensive dude!

Keeho: *laughs* I see! Can you send me a photo of her?

Jinri: Sure! I'll send you later because I am going back to our apartment.

Keeho: Okay! Take care going back to your apartment.

Jinri: Thanks! Bye!

END OF CONVERSATION.

After they had a conversation, Jinri went back to the apartment.

"Why did you take so long?" Y/N asked.

"Sorry! I just met my other friend in the cafe' and we talked for a minute," Jinri said.

"Oh! I see," Y/N said.

"So, did you already hire somebody?" Jinri asked.

"Nope! I think I just really want to hire Keeho but I don't have a budget. I think I will just really stay here alone on our vacation," Y/N said as she sighed.

"I think that won't happen," Jinri said.

"I just really hope so," Y/N said as she sighed.

"My friend seems to be really interested in Keeho. I should send a photo of her to him that might change Keeho's mind to make it free for her," Jinri thought. At that time, Jinri sent a photo of her to Keeho and when Keeho saw her photo, he got attracted to her already.

"She's beautiful! I really hope that we will get along with each other when I am with her," Keeho thought and he decided to call Jinri this time. As for Jinri, she went to her room so Y/N won't hear their conversation.

THEIR CONVERSATION...

Jinri: Why did you call?

Keeho: I am making my service free for beautiful ladies like her.

Jinri: OMG! Really? You will do that for her?

Keeho: Yes! By the way, how many days?

Jinri: Is it okay that you will be with her for one week? Because we have a vacation for one week and she will be alone here in the apartment.

Keeho: For one week? Sure! I'll make her happy and be comfortable with me.

Jinri: Wow! It seems you really are interested in Y/N.

Keeho: Yes! I get interested in Y/N. That's why I am doing this for her and I promise I will make her happy.

Jinri: Okay! I will trust you, Keeho.

Keeho: No worries, okay? She will be safe with me for one week.

Jinri: Okay! Thanks, Keeho!

Keeho: No problem! I have to go now because I will meet my friends. Bye!

Jinri: Okay! Bye!

END OF CONVERSATION.

After Jinri had a conversation with Keeho...

"I am so happy that Keeho will be with Y/N on her vacation! This will be an interesting week for her," Jinri thought and smiled.

FAST FORWARD...

It was already the day when Y/N and Jinri will be having a vacation.

"I am going to leave you now, okay?" Jinri said.

"No worries! I will make my "me" time enjoyable," Y/N said.

"Okay! You said so. Also, take care of yourself. Just chat or call me, okay?" Jinri said.

"Okay! Take care and enjoy your vacation with your family!" Y/N said as she smiled.

"Thanks! I have to go, bye!" Jinri said as she waved goodbye and left Y/N in their apartment. After Jinri left their apartment, she decided to clean the house and it took an hour for her to clean it then while she is resting in the living room, suddenly someone pressed the doorbell, and as she checked the door camera, she recognized the face of the guy and she was shocked that it was Keeho.

"OMG! Is this real? Keeho is here?" Y/N thought and just opened the door. Keeho is smiling brightly which made Y/N blush madly.

"You are Keeho, right? Y/N asked.

"Yes! I guess your name is Y/N, right?" Keeho asked.

"Y-yes! How did you know my name and my house? Also, you were the guy in the private escort-for-hire app, right?" Y/N said.

"Yup! To be honest, I know your friend named Jinri," Keeho said.

"Really? But she is not here today because she went to visit her parents in the province for vacation," Y/N said, which made Keeho chuckle.

"To be honest, I am not here for Jinri. I am here for you that's why I came here," Keeho said which shocked Y/N.

"What do you mean?" Y/N asked, then Keeho smiled and his face went closer to her which made Y/N get nervous.

"While Jinri is away, I will be your private escort," Keeho said as he smiled which made Y/N surprised.

Wait! I didn't hire you to be my private escort!" Y/N said.

"I know. But Jinri hired me for you," Keeho said.

"What? But why?" Y/N asked.

"She told me that you were interested in hiring me as your private escort but you said that it was expensive to hire me. So, that time, I asked Jinri for a picture of you and when I saw your picture I found you beautiful and I told Jinri that I give free service to beautiful girls like you," Keeho said.

"Are you serious?" Y/N asked.

"Yes! But if you don't want to do it. I won't force you. I promise," Keeho said.

"Okay! I guess that's why you have bags with you because you will live here for a week, right?" Y/N said.

"Yup! But if you want to go somewhere else, I can pay the expenses since it's free for you," Keeho said as he smiled and winked at Y/N, which made Y/N blush.

"I will think about it since it will be boring if we will just hang out here," Y/N said.

"But I know good places like beaches and resorts," Keeho said.

"I think that would be expensive if we go to a beach resort. I think it's better if we can just go to a place that is kinda hidden," Y/N said, which made Keeho surprised.

"Hidden? Like there's a house in the forest or woods? You want to go there?" Keeho asked, which made Y/N slightly laugh.

"I think so? But I think that's impossible," Y/N said.

"You seemed to be adventurous, huh? To be honest, I have a friend who owns a house in the forest and don't worry it's not totally isolated, the house has a garden and it has grown vegetables and fruits. The house can be rented too. “You want to go there?" Keeho asked.

"Are you sure? Can we really go there?" Y/N asked.

"Yes! I can call my friend now and will tell him that we will rent it for a week," Keeho said.

"Okay! But we can just go there tomorrow since I want to rest for today because I just finished cleaning our apartment," Y/N said.

"Okay! I'll just call him now, okay?" Keeho said.

"Sure! I'll just take a bath and you can place your bags first in the master's bedroom," Y/N said.

"Okay! Thanks!" Keeho said. When Y/N left him, Keeho called his friend named Intak.

THEIR CONVERSATION:

Intak: Hey, Keeho! Why did you call?

Keeho: I just wanted to tell you that I wanted to rent the house that's in the forest for a week.

Intak: For a week? Aren't you going to be bored if you rent it for a week?

Keeho: Bro, I have someone with me.

Intak: oh! Is that a girl?

Keeho: Yup!

Intak: You should also introduce me to her.

Keeho: Sure! No problem! To be honest, I was hired by her for a week.

Intak: Really? For a week?

Keeho: Yup! She wanted to go places that are hidden and I suddenly thought of the house that you have.

Intak: oh! Have fun with your trip with her, bro!

Keeho: Thanks! But we will occupy it tomorrow.

Intak: Sure no problem! Also no worries, the house is cleaned every day by our caretaker.

Keeho: Okay! I have to go now and place my bags in the room.

Intak: Okay! Bye!

Keeho: Bye, bro!

After Keeho had a conversation with his friend named Intak, he placed his bags in the bedroom and changed clothes. As for Y/N, after she took a bath and changed her clothes, she went to the living room and decided to watch TV. Then when Keeho went to the living room he was wearing a white sleeveless shirt...

"Oh! Wow! He's really muscular and sexy! I bet many girls already booked him as their private escort," Y/N thought and blushed madly, then Keeho noticed that she couldn't stop looking at him and he decided to sit closer to her which made Y/N surprised and gulped because Keeho's face very close again to her that can make them kiss if Y/N will make move little forward to him.

"You know it's rude to stare at a person for a long time, right baby?" Keeho asked as he winked and smirked at her.

"Sorry! But I won't deny that you look so hot right now," Y/N said as she couldn't look at him this time and continued to blush madly which made Keeho slightly laugh.

"I know I am hot," Keeho said as he smirked.

"You're so cocky!" Y/N said, which made Keeho laugh.

"Why? But you said that I am hot so I just accepted your compliment. So, what do you want to do today? Are we just going to stare at each other all day?" Keeho asked.

"We won't definitely do that, of course! Since we are just going to be here all day, we can just watch movies and order some food delivery," Y/N said.

"That would be fun, I think. I'll be the one who will pay for our food," Keeho said.

"Nope! I have an idea, you can pay for the food for lunch and our snacks then I will pay for the dinner that would be more fair," Y/N said.

"I insist. I will pay for all of it, okay? This will be my free service for you, are we clear, baby?" Keeho asked.

"Do you really have to call me baby?" Y/N asked as she blushed which made Keeho slightly laugh.

"Yes! Why? Don't you like it?" Keeho asked.

"I think I am just not used to being called like that," Y/N said.

"Oh! I see. But what If I just wanted to call you baby instead of your name?" Keeho said as he smirked, then Y/N sighed and rolled her eyes which made Keeho laugh.

"Fine! To be honest, you were the first one to call me baby," Y/N said, which made Keeho surprised.

"Really? What about your ex-boyfriend?" Keeho asked.

"I didn't have a boyfriend before until now," Y/N said.

"That's impossible! You are beautiful!" Keeho said, which made Y/N blush.

"Thanks for the compliment, Keeho. But I am telling the truth I didn't have a boyfriend before," Y/N said.

"But why? I bet many guys asked you to be their girlfriend, right?" Keeho asked.

"To be honest, there were guys who asked me out but unfortunately I don't like them. I know I may sound rude or whatever you want to think about me but the ones that I like don't like me or sometimes I was just friend-zoned," Y/N said which made Keeho surprised.

"I respect you, Y/N. I think those guys were just blind because I think you will be a great partner," Keeho said as he smiled at her which made Y/N blush madly.

"Thanks! Even though we just met today and yet you are now telling me that to me," Y/N said as she smiled back.

"To be honest, I wanna..." Keeho hadn't finished his sentence because someone was calling Y/N and it was Jinri.

"Sorry! I had to take this call," Y/N said.

"It's okay! Since she is your friend and you should update her that I am already here," Keeho said.

"Okay! While waiting for me you can order our food and choose some movies for us," Y/N said.

"Sure! No problem!" Keeho said.

THEIR CONVERSATION:

Y/N: Jinri! Are you already in your parent's house?

Jinri: Yup! I am now here in my bedroom and just finished organizing my stuff here. So, I guess you are now with Keeho, right?

Y/N: Yup! You didn't tell me that you are Keeho's friend.

Jinri: I didn't tell you because I wanted to surprise you and I bet you were really surprised that Keeho suddenly appeared today.

Y/N: I know and he told me that it's free.

Jinri: Yup! You know I won't be surprised when I will go back to our place that you are not a virgin anymore *laughs*

Y/N: Shut up, Jinri!

Jinri: What? I know you are drooling right now, girl!

Y/N: Fine! Whatever! Anyways, I have to tell you that we will go somewhere tomorrow.

Jinri: Oh! You really want to have him all by yourself, huh?

Y/N: Can you just stop teasing me?

Jinri: Fine! I will stop. But where are you two going tomorrow?

Y/N: We will go to a rented house that is in the forest that has a beautiful garden in it.

Jinri: Wow! That will be a peaceful and healing vacation for the two of you, huh?

Y/N: Yup! I think I will be enjoying my vacation with him. But thanks, you talked to Keeho.

Jinri: No problem! Also, you should thank him because it's free for you and I think he is interested in you and he might be your boyfriend this week.

Y/N: Let's see! Anyways, today we won't go anywhere and we will just hang out here.

Jinri: Oh! Okay! Have fun and enjoy your week with him, girl!

Y/N: Thanks! Bye and take care!

Jinri: Take care too, girl! Bye!

END OF CONVERSATION

After Y/N had a conversation with Jinri she went back to the living room.

"So, did you tell her that we will go somewhere tomorrow?" Keeho asked.

"Yup!" Y/N said as she smiled.

"That's great to hear! Anyways, I don't know what kind of movie you want to watch but I just chose a romantic movie," Keeho said.

"Romantic movies are okay for me. By the way, what were you going to tell me a while ago before Jinri called?" Y/N asked.

"I already forgot the words to tell you. Anyways, let's just watch the movie while waiting for the food, okay baby," Keeho asked.

"Sure! No problem!" Y/N said as she smiled. But as they watched the movie, Y/N suddenly screamed and went closer to Keeho.

"Keeho! I thought this was only a romantic movie, but this is also a thriller movie and, to be honest, I hate horror and thriller movies," Y/N said as she pouted which made Keeho laugh at her and he decided to pause the movie.

"I am so sorry, Y/N. To be honest, I didn't know this would be a thriller movie too," Keeho said.

"I think you did this on purpose, huh?" Y/N said, which made Keeho smirked.

"What kind of purpose, baby?" Keeho asked as he leaned closer to her face which made Y/N blush.

"I don't know! Anyways, we can just continue watching the movie," Y/N said which made Keeho laugh and at that time, their food arrived and while they are continuing to watch the movie, Y/N was startled again by a scary scene and suddenly the glass of water that is on the table was spilled on Keeho's shorts.

Shit! I am so sorry, Keeho!" Y/N said as she tried to help him wipe the spilled water off him but...

"Y/N, It's okay! I'll wipe it off. You don't want someone to be turned on, right baby?" Keeho said as he smirked.

"What do you mean?" Y/N asked, then Keeho slightly laughed at her question.

"You're so innocent, baby! Take your hands off me or do you want us to get dirty on my first day with you today?" Keeho asked as he looked at Y/N which made Y/N surprised.

"Oh shit! I just understand what you meant, right now!" Y/N said as she quickly took her hands off his shorts and Keeho slightly laughed.

"I'll just change, okay? By the way, I won't deny it felt so good when you touched me like that," Keeho said as he winked which made Y/N blush madly and shivered from her spine.

"Keeho, just change your shorts now, okay? We still have to finish the movie," Y/N said.

"Okay! Okay! I'll be right back," Keeho said and went to the room. While Keeho is changing...

"Gosh! His bluntness has a huge effect on me!" Y/N thought.

When Keeho came back, they decided to finish the movie and they played some games too. but there is one time, Keeho fell over her which made Y/N surprised and blushed madly. As for Keeho, he stared at her for a second. He decided to kiss her passionately and Y/N responded to it but when things were about to heat up to the next level, Keeho stopped which made Y/N slightly disappointed and Keeho noticed her reaction and smirked.

"It seems someone wanted to go further, huh?" Keeho asked which made Y/N blush madly.

"Shut up, Keeho! Just get off me and I might be suffocated," Y/N said which made Keeho chuckle.

"Okay! Sorry!" Keeho said as he got off from her.

"We can go further when you are ready, okay?" Keeho said and Y/N just nodded and they smiled at each other. At that time, it was already evening, and after they had dinner...

"Keeho, thanks for today! I really enjoyed it even though we just hang out here in the house," Y/N said

"No problem! Also, I guess I stole your first kiss earlier, right?" Keeho asked, which made them laugh.

"Yup! But I won't complain though," Y/N said which made Keeho slightly smirked.

"I have an idea, you want to sleep beside me tonight? I promise I won't do anything to you. Unless you want something to happen tonight," Keeho said as he winked at her which made Y/N blush and slightly laughed.

"Okay! I'll sleep beside you but no sex," Y/N said.

"Okay! let's go to sleep now because we will go tomorrow to the rented house," Keeho said.

"Okay! I am quite excited for tomorrow because I know it will be peaceful and it will be a healing vacation for us," Y/N said as she smiled.

"Yup! It will be! Good night, baby!" Keeho said as he kissed her lips quickly which made Y/N blush.

"Good night, hottie Keeho!" Y/N said, which made Keeho surprised.

"You called me hottie, huh? Don't get me turned on tonight because I might not control myself. Anyways, just kidding. Let's sleep now!" Keeho said which made Y/N slightly laugh then Keeho hugged her close to him as they went to sleep.

NEXT DAY...

Y/N and Keeho went to the house that they rented and as they arrived, Intak was there to welcome them.

"Bro! I am glad you visited again," Intak said.

"Yeah! It's been a while since I visited this house. By the way, this is Y/N she will be with me in this house for a week," Keeho said.

"Hi, Y/N! I am Intak, Keeho's friend. Nice to meet you!" Intak said as he smiled.

"Nice to meet you too, Intak!" Y/N said as she smiled back and they shook hands,

"Damn! Keeho's friend is also handsome and hot like him," Y/N thought. As they held hands longer, Keeho suddenly interfered and...

"Bro, I think you can help us load some of our stuff, right?" Keeho asked.

"Of course! I'll help you then after that, I'll go now because I will meet my other friends today," Intak said.

"Okay! Great! As for you, baby. You can just go inside already and rest first. We will load our stuff," Keeho said as he smiled which made Intak slightly laugh at the way Keeho called Y/N.

"I will help the two of you," Y/N said.

"Y/N, you don't need to help us, okay?" Intak said as he suddenly placed his hand on her shoulder and smiled at her but Keeho was not amused and he decided to take off his hand from Y/N.

"Intak is right. You should go in first and rest," Keeho said, which made Y/N sigh.

"Okay! Fine! Thanks, guys!" Y/N said as she smiled at them.

"No problem baby!" Keeho said as he smiled back. When Y/N was already inside the house...

"Someone's jealous," Intak said when he was about to get their stuff and Keeho chuckled.

"Bro, I know she's beautiful but she will be mine, okay?" Keeho said.

"She will be yours? But you were only just hired for her to be a private escort, right?" Intak asked.

"Oh shit! He was right!" Keeho thought.

"I know but I might let go of the label of being just a private escort for her this week," Keeho said which made Intak surprised.

"Wait! You mean you will resign as a private escort?" Intak asked.

"Yes! I am willing to resign and besides I already have a business. To be honest, when her friend showed a picture of her I was attracted to her already. That's why I decided to be his private escort and I will make her my girlfriend and I will be her first boyfriend," Keeho said.

"What? first boyfriend? Are you serious? She hasn't had a boyfriend before? But she's beautiful!" Intak said.

"I know bro! Anyways, let's stop talking and load our stuff," Keeho said, then Intak nodded. After they loaded their stuff...

"Thanks for helping us, bro! I will contact you when we are leaving," Keeho said.

"Sure no problem! As for you Y/N, I hope you enjoy the environment of this house," Intak said as he smiled.

"I think I will love it since it's peaceful here," Y/N said as she smiled back.

"That's great to hear! I really have to go now. Bye, guys! Have fun!" Intak said as he waved goodbye to them and left them.

As they went inside the house...

"You like it?" Keeho asked.

"Yes! I really like it! You know, you and Intak are handsome," Y/N said as she blushed madly which made Keeho chuckle.

"Can you not include his name when you talk today?" Keeho asked, which made Y/N surprised.

"Why? I am just being honest with you," Y/N said.

"I know. But I just want you to think just the two of us, okay baby?" Keeho said as he back hugged her and placed his head on her shoulder which made Y/N giddy.

"What if I don't want to follow you and keep saying Intak's name, what are you going to do?" Y/N asked which made Keeho chuckle.

"Don't test me, baby! I don't want to punish you if we are going to do it for the first time," Keeho said as he whispered in her ear, which made Y/N shiver from her spine.

"I just really hope that he is my real boyfriend," Y/N thought.

"Fine! I won't say his name anymore," Y/N said.

"Good girl! So, are you good at cooking?" Keeho asked.

"Not at all. I just know how to fry some food and make some pasta dishes, that's all. What about you?" Y/N said.

"That's okay! Don't worry we will help each other cook and besides we bought some ready-to-cook food," Keeho said as he winked at her.

"I am relieved we bought those kinds of food," Y/N said and both of them laughed.

"Let's cook for lunch then we can go around here since I know you want to roam around the garden too and pick some vegetables or fruits there," Keeho said.

"Is it okay if we will pick vegetables or fruits in their garden?" Y/N asked.

"Yup! It's free. That's why many guests came here because of the peaceful environment and they can pick vegetables and fruits in the garden," Keeho said.

"That's great! Let's start cooking now so that we can already go outside," Y/N said which made Keeho slightly laugh, and decided to go to the kitchen and started cooking their food for lunch. After they cooked their food, they decided to go to the garden and at that time, Keeho handed her a basket so that when they picked a vegetable or fruit they could place it on the basket.

They enjoyed picking some vegetables and fruits and after they picked them, they silently looked at the beautiful scenery of the mountains with the bright sun.

I am really happy that I had a chance to go to this kind of place and that is because of you, Keeho," Y/N said as she smiled which made Keeho smile back and caressed her face.

"I am glad you really like it and I wanted to tell you that..." Keeho was cut-off again because someone was calling Y/N again which made Keeho sigh but Y/N decided not to answer first and...

"Just continue. I want to hear what you want to say. I'll call her back later," Y/N said as she smiled.

"Okay! I will resign as a private escort instead I wanted to be your first boyfriend, Y/N," Keeho said as he smiled at her brightly which made Y/N shocked.

"Are you serious? You will resign as a private escort? Why?" Y/N asked.

"Y/N, I am serious about my feelings for you. I already had love at first sight and also, don't worry I already have a business that I can handle," Keeho said.

"OMG! Am I dreaming? Finally, the guy that I liked, liked me back and he already loves me," Y/N thought and she didn't hesitate to kiss Keeho on the lips and wrapped her hands around his neck. As for Keeho, he was surprised at first but he decided to pull her close to him and deepened the kiss. After a few minutes of kissing, they stopped and looked at each other's eyes.

"Does it mean you are accepting me as your first boyfriend?" Keeho asked.

"Yes! I am accepting you as my boyfriend. I don't care if this was fast, I just knew that I am also attracted to you when I also saw your picture in the app and that's the reason why I was interested in hiring you as my private escort," Y/N said as she smiled at him. Then Keeho smiled back and kissed her lips quickly.

"I love you, baby!" Keeho said.

"I love you too, Keeho!" Y/N said as they hugged each other. But suddenly someone ruined their moment because Jinri is calling Y/N and...

"Such bad timing ruined our moment," Y/N said, which made Keeho laugh.

'It's okay baby! Just answer the call first. I bet she is curious what we are doing right now," Keeho said.

“Okay! wait for a while, okay?" Y/N said, then Keeho nodded.

THEIR CONVERSATION:

Jinri: Y/N! I have called you a few times already.

Y/N: Why? Also, I am with Keeho. We are now in the rented house and we just finished picking some vegetables and fruits here.

Jinri: Wow! It seems you are now having fun with him, huh?

Y/N: Yes! Also, I will tell you that he is already my boyfriend.

Jinri: OMG! Congrats! I am so happy that you finally have a boyfriend. I trust and I know Keeho will make you happy and won't hurt you.

Y/N: I can feel his sincerity when he just confessed his feelings to me.

Jinri: I am so happy for you girl! Anyways, I am sorry if I was interrupting your moment with him.

Y/N: It's alright! To be honest, when you were calling me, I let him continue what he wanted to say and he confessed to me at that time.

Jinri: Oh okay! I have to go now! Enjoy your vacation with Keeho!

Y/N: Thanks, Jinri! Bye, take care!

Jinri: Take care too, girl!

END OF CONVERSATION

After Y/N had a conversation with Jinri, she went back to Keeho and...

"So, I guess you already told her that I am already your boyfriend, right?" Keeho said.

"Of course! Also, she's happy because she knows that you won't hurt me," Y/N said as she smiled.

"That's great to hear! Let's go back and have some lunch already," Keeho said as he smiled back, then Y/N nodded and both of them went back to the house and started to have lunch.

"So, what do you want to do after we have lunch?" Keeho asked.

"I don't know! Do you have that in mind?" Y/N asked.

"Me neither. I don't know what we should do. Unless you want to do it right now, baby?" Keeho said as he smirked which made Y/N blush madly.

"It's too early for that, Keeho!" Y/N said, which made Keeho laugh.

"Okay! Okay! I am sorry baby! We can just watch some movies or variety shows if you want and we can just cuddle on the bed while we watch. Is that okay with you?" Keeho asked.

"Yup! As long as I am with you," Y/N said which made Keeho blush this time.

"Me too, baby! Let's go! We can bring some snacks too," Keeho said, then Y/N nodded and they brought some snacks and went to the room.

"I guess you won't need to sleep later in the next room, right?" Keeho asked which made Y/N gulp.

"Y-yes! I will definitely sleep beside you tonight," Y/N said.

"That's good! But why do you sound hesitant? You already slept beside me last night, right?" Keeho asked.

"I know. But I think tonight will be not just cuddling at all," Y/N said as she couldn't look at him which made Keeho slightly laugh but smirked at the same time.

"So, you were thinking that, huh? Y/N, if you were still not ready, I'll respect that, okay? But if you are ready, try to seduce me," Keeho said as he winked at her which made Y/N surprised.

"You know, you are very blunt!" Y/N said, which made Keeho laugh.

"You don't like it? I think that can be the best way because I think if you will just tell me there's no fun with that," Keeho said which made Y/N scoff.

"Do I really have to do that?" Y/N asked which made Keeho smirked.

"Yes! It seems you really have a plan to do it, huh?" Keeho asked which made Y/N blush madly but she rolled her eyes on him and Keeho laughed at her.

"I don't know what you are talking about, Keeho!" Y/N said.

"You're in denial baby! But anyways, that's what you should do, okay?" Keeho said as he winked at her.

"Fine! Whatever you say!" Y/N said, which made Keeho just laugh at her.

"It's so fun to tease you, baby!" Keeho said as he kissed her lips which made Y/N surprised at his action.

"Just stop it!" Y/N said, which made Keeho just laugh again at her.

"Okay! I'll stop. Let's just watch and rest now, okay?" Keeho said then Y/N nodded.

Throughout the day they only hung out in the house and enjoyed each other's company. As time went by, it was already evening, and after they had dinner...

"Y/N, I'll wash the dishes," Keeho said.

"Nope! You did so much for today," Y/N said.

"I know but I just want you to relax for today, okay? You can wait for me in the living room," Keeho said.

"Okay! I'll wait for you," Y/N said as she smiled and left Keeho. As she sat on the sofa...

"Shit! How should I seduce him? I didn't have experience seducing someone. I know that I am already ready for him," Y/N thought and she sighed but suddenly she remembered something and she suddenly went to the room. As time goes by, Keeho finishes washing the dishes and as he goes to the living room, Y/N is nowhere to be seen.

"I thought she would wait for me here. Anyways, I think she just went to the room," Keeho said to himself and as he went inside the room, he was shocked because...

"Y/N! I mean, baby? You really are prepared, huh? You are so hot with that red lingerie," Keeho said as he looked at her from head to toe and bit his lip, and walked closer to her which made Y/N blush madly.

"T-thanks, Keeho! But to be honest, I wasn't confident with my body at all," Y/N said as she couldn't look at him.

"Y/N, you are beautiful and hot, you should know that. Perhaps, you want me to prove it to you?" Keeho asked as he stared at her with lust and love in his eyes.

"Y-yes! Also, I am really ready for you," Y/N said, then after Y/N's response he suddenly pushed her onto the bed and hovered above her which made Y/N quite surprised and Keeho smirked at her reaction.

“Can’t wait to make you moan and scream my name, baby,” Keeho said and he removed his shirt and Y/N gulped at the sight of him.

“Shit! He’s so sexy!” Y/N thought. Then her thoughts were cut-off when Keeho kissed her lips passionately and Y/N just responded to it.

As for Keeho, his hands went to her clothed breasts and slightly squeezed them which made Y/N moan into his action, and with that, Keeho slipped his tongue to her and explored her cavern. While they were still making out, Keeho’s hands went behind her and unclasped her bra and they suddenly stopped. Then he removed her bra which made Y/N shy, and covered her breasts but Keeho held her hands above her head.

“Don’t be shy, baby! You are fucking hot!” Keeho said, which made Y/N blush madly at his compliment. Then Keeho kissed her neck as he licked and sucked it that became a hickey which made Y/N moan his name softly.

“You are now mine baby! Remember that, okay?” Keeho said, then Y/N just nodded which made Keeho smirk and his lips went to her breasts as he sucked them delicately, bit them, and licked between her breasts and he also slightly squeezed her breast that made Y/N moaned his name softly and arched her back as she felt the pleasure.

“So responsive, baby. I like that,” Keeho said. After Keeho gave attention to her breasts, he kissed every inch of her and he suddenly stopped and decided to remove her underwear which made Y/N surprised and suddenly closed her legs and Keeho just spread her legs wide.

“Fuck! You’re so wet already for me and yet, you don’t want me to taste you?” Keeho said.

“Ummm… I am just really shy to be that exposed,” Y/N said as she can’t look at him and then, Keeho made her look at him by lifting her chin.

“Baby, remember you are beautiful, okay?” Keeho said as he kissed her lips which made Y/N smile. Then Keeho went between her legs and Y/N blushed madly at the sight of him.

“Shit! He’s just so fucking hot!” Y/N thought. Then her thoughts were cut-off when Keeho started to lick her pussy which made Y/N moan his name and arched her back, then Keeho smirked at her reaction and decided to lick her pussy at a fast pace.

“Fuck! Keeho! That’s so good!” Y/N said as she gripped the bed sheets. Then Keeho suddenly pulled her legs closer to his face and decided not only to lick but also to suck her pussy harshly which made a slurping sound. As for Y/N, she couldn’t stop moaning his name and slightly pushed his head more onto her pussy. As Keeho continues to eat her out wildly.

“Shit! Keeho I am going to cum!” Y/N said.

“Cum for me. I want to taste you,” Keeho said. As soon as Keeho said it, Y/N cums hard, and then, Keeho sucked all of her juices and after that, he stood up, he wiped the corner of his lips, and stared at her which made Y/N gulp.

“So delicious baby!” Keeho said as he smirked and he removed his pants together with his boxer shorts which made Y/N surprised.

“Oh shit! He’s big! How will that fit me?” Y/N thought as she gulped then Keeho smirked at her reaction.

“This will fit you, baby, don’t worry,” Keeho said which made Y/N blush madly at his statement and at that time when Keeho was about to get a condom…

“Keeho, I am on a pill,” Y/N said which made Keeho slightly surprised.

“Are you sure, baby?” Keeho asked.

“Yes! I’ve been taking birth control pills,” Y/N said.

“But would it be okay for you if I will cum inside you or not?” Keeho asked.

“It’s okay if you will cum inside me,” Y/N said as she smiled.

“Fuck! That will be hot, baby!” Keeho said as he smirked. Then he hovered above her again.

“Baby, if it’s painful just tell me okay?” Keeho asked.

“Don’t worry, I’ll tell you,” Y/N said.

“I love you Y/N!” Keeho said.

“I love you too, Keeho!” Y/N said. As Keeho inserted his cock into her core inch by inch, Y/N yelped which made Keeho suddenly stop.

“Baby, is that painful?” Keeho said with worry in his voice.

“Yes, but don’t worry I think I can bear it,” Y/N said.

“Okay! I’ll let you adjust first,” Keeho said but then he suddenly kissed her lips passionately and her neck to distract her from the pain. After a few seconds…

“Keeho, you can move,” Y/N said.

“Okay, baby! Ready for a wild ride with me,” Keeho said as he smirked. Y/N didn’t have time to process what he said because Keeho thrust his cock to her at a fast pace already which made her moan his name loudly and gripped his biceps.

“Fuck! You are so tight and feel so good, baby!” Keeho said as he leaned onto her and whispered at her, and licked her earlobe which made Y/N moan again.

“Keeho, more please!” Y/N said.

“I will give you more than that, baby!” Keeho said as he suddenly put her legs on his shoulders and thrust his cock to her harder which made Y/N scream his name and gripped the bed sheets.

“Fuck! Yes! Right there, Keeho!” Y/N said.

“Damn, baby! So loud for me!” Keeho said as he bit his lips. Then he decided to put her legs down and hugged her body close to him and thrust his cock into her deeper which made Y/N moan his name like a mantra and her hands rake Keeho’s broad back that will surely have red marks until the next day.

“Fuck! Feel so good going deep to you baby!” Keeho said as he also sucked again her neck which made Y/N just moan. As Keeho continued to thrust his cock into her at a stable pace…

“I am going to cum!” Y/N said.

“Cum with me, baby!” Keeho said. After a few thrusts, both of them cum, and Y/N moaned as she felt his cum shooting deep inside her. Then Keeho pulled away from her and lay beside her.

“So, how was it, baby?” Keeho asked.

“It was a mind-blowing one,” Y/N said as she blushed madly and Keeho smirked.

“Really? Are you up for one more round?” Keeho asked.

“Nope! I am already tired from screaming your name,” Y/N said, which made Keeho laugh.

“Okay! To be honest, I like the way you moan and scream my name, Y/N,” Keeho said as he winked at her, then Y/N slightly slapped his bicep which made Keeho laugh.

“What? Did I say something bad?” Keeho asked.

“I just don’t get used to hearing those kinds of words, I guess,” Y/N said.

“You’ll get used to it baby,” Keeho said as he kissed her lips quickly.

“Let’s sleep. Good night and I love you, Keeho!” Y/N said.

“Good night and I love you too much, Y/N,” Keeho said as he hugged her close to him as they slept.

NEXT DAY...

Keeho is the first one to wake up and as he looked at Y/N, she was still sleeping peacefully so he decided to kiss her lips quickly which made Y/N woke up and...

"Good morning, baby!" Keeho said.

"Good morning, Keeho! We should eat breakfast now so that we can do whatever we want for today again," Y/N said as she smiled.

"Breakfast can wait baby! You want to shower with me?" Keeho asked. which made Y/N gulp.

"Are we also going to do something?" Y/N asked which made Keeho smirked.

"By any chance, you want to do it in the shower?" Keeho asked which made Y/N cover her face because she got giddy and Keeho laughed at her.

"Baby, just tell me if you want or not. Besides, we already regained our energy," Keeho said as he winked at her.

"Oh gosh! How can I refuse that if you are just hot and sexy?" Y/N said.

"Damn! My baby really can't resist me, huh? Because of that, I think I won't make you walk during our stay here," Keeho said as he carried Y/N in a bridal style which made Y/N get shy and went to the bathroom.

"Why be shy all of a sudden, baby? I already saw it all," Keeho said. Then Keeho suddenly licked her lips to ask for entrance and Y/N opened her mouth and let his tongue slip in which made Keeho explore her cavern. Then while she was being French kissed, Keeho's hands went to her breast and squeezed it making Y/N moan into the kiss. Then Keeho kissed her neck as he licked, bit, and sucked again a certain spot that became another hickey. Then Keeho's lips went to her breast and he sucked and bit her nipples making Y/N moan his name again and push his head more. Keeho smirked at her action and decided to suck it harshly, which made Y/N moan loudly. As he stopped giving attention to her breast he smirked again as he saw that he made a hickey on her breast and when Y/N also saw it, she was surprised.

“Shit! He already made many love bites on me!” Y/N thought.

“Those marks mean you are already mine. Are we clear about that, Y/N?” Keeho asked.

“Yes, Keeho! I am already yours,” Y/N said as she blushed.

“That’s my good girl!” Keeho said as he smirked, then he left wet kisses on every inch of her body which made Y/N shiver because of his actions. But when he reached her inner thighs he slightly bit it, Y/N moaned softly.

“You are always so sensitive, baby,” Keeho said. But Y/N became conscious again and covered her private area and Keeho shoved her hands away.

“Baby, I already told you that you are perfect. No need to be insecure, okay?” Keeho said then Y/N nodded and smiled slightly. Then Keeho held her hand and they went to the shower. As they went inside the shower, Y/N opened the shower and when they had already gotten wet, Keeho decided to kiss her passionately again. Then while they were kissing, one of his hands went to her core and inserted one finger into her, and pumped it faster. Keeho decided to stop kissing her and looked at her and smirked at the sight of her being in a moaning mess.

"Shit! you are taking my fingers well, baby!" Keeho said. Then he decided to add another finger which made Y/N grip his biceps and moaned his name loudly.

"That's right, babe. Moan my name loudly!" Keeho said as he continued to pump his fingers to her core but without a warning, she cum on his fingers. Then Keeho suddenly stopped and spread her legs which made Y/N gulp at the sight of him being between her legs again. Then Keeho smirked again at her reaction so he decided to start licking and sucking her core which made Y/N moan loudly again and she held onto Keeho's hair.

"Fuck! You are so good at this, Keeho! More!" Y/N said Then Keeho suddenly sucked her core harshly which made Y/N almost scream his name.

“Fuck, yes! Like that!” Y/N said. As Keeho continued to eat her out wildly…

“Keeho! I am going to cum!” Y/N said.

"Cum for me, I want to taste you again, baby," Keeho said. When Y/N heard his words, she cum, and Keeho sucked all of her juices that made a slurping sound in the bathroom. But when Keeho was finished and stood up, he held her waist because Y/N's legs got weak because of the intense orgasm she had earlier.

“How did that feel, babe?” Keeho asked, then Y/N smirked.

“That was fucking awesome, Keeho,” Y/N said.

“We are not done yet, baby!” Keeho said as he kissed her lips with hunger and Y/N suddenly jumped onto him and wrapped her legs around him. While they were kissing, without a warning Keeho inserted his cock into her which made Y/N moan into the heated kiss. As Keeho started to thrust his cock into Y/N at a fast pace, they decided to stop kissing and Y/N leaned her head on Keeho’s shoulder.

“Shit! More Keeho!” Y/N said loudly which made Keeho smirk.

“I’ll give that to you baby! You feel so fucking good!” Keeho said as he whispered at her and slightly bit it. As Keeho thrust his cock to her core harder and deeper, Y/N couldn’t stop moaning and screaming his name.

“Fuck! Right there, Keeho! Don’t stop!” Y/N said as her hands raked again Keeho’s back.

“Feel so good deeper to you baby!” Keeho said. But as he continued to thrust his cock at a stable pace…

“Keeho! I am going to cum,” Y/N said.

“Fuck! Cum with me, baby!” Keeho said as he also continued to groan with pleasure. But after a few thrusts, both of them cum. At that time, Keeho put her down but because Y/N’s legs became weak, he decided to help her stand up and continued to wash their bodies. After they washed their bodies, Keeho carried her to the bedroom.

“Can you walk?’ Keeho asked.

“I don’t think so, I think you can just bring some food here in our bed, and let’s have some breakfast in bed,” Y/N said which made Keeho slightly laugh.

“Okay, baby! I am sorry If I went hard on you,” Keeho said.

“Keeho, I won’t deny that I enjoyed it and also, you don’t need to say sorry,” Y/N said as she smiled and kissed his lips which made Keeho smile back at her.

“Okay! Just get some rest and I will make some breakfast for us,” Keeho said, then Y/N nodded. After a few minutes of making breakfast for them, he went back to the bed and set up the table for them. Then while they were having breakfast…

“Thank you so much for this, Keeho!” Y/N said.

"No problem, baby! I am glad no one is here that can disturb us, especially hearing the way you scream and moan my name last night and a while ago," Keeho said.

"I know, right! Also, it's just our second day of stay here but many things happened already just on our first day yesterday," Y/N said.

"But did you like it?" Keeho asked.

"Of course! Also, I know we will have more memorable moments here," Y/N said as she smiled.

"I am happy to hear that and also, I am glad that you became my girlfriend. I love you, Y/N!" Keeho said as he hugged and kissed Y/N's lips.

"I love you so much, Keeho!" Y/N said as she smiled brightly at him. They continued to make memorable moments in the house for a week. After they had a romantic vacation, Keeho resigned to be a private escort and handled his clothing line business with Intak. As for Y/N, she decided to live with Keeho and also help him with the business and they had a loving relationship.
