๐พ๐๐ก๐๐ ๐๐ช๐จ๐๐๐ฃ๐ ๐พ๐๐ค๐จ๐ค who not only was famous in general, he was quite popular with the ladies. Everywhere he went there would always be some underage girls trailing behind us, never realizing that they could never stand a chance with him. He already found his soulmate, and no matter how many beautiful girls he comes across will change that.
๐พ๐๐ก๐๐ ๐๐ช๐จ๐๐๐ฃ๐ ๐พ๐๐ค๐จ๐ค who has to silence his phone at night to not disrupt your early slumber, or has to take multiple social media breaks because of all the overwhelming messages he gets every day. He usually has to make new accounts that are private for only him and his family/friends to follow so he can posts photos of you both for distant relatives to see.
๐พ๐๐ก๐๐ ๐๐ช๐จ๐๐๐ฃ๐ ๐พ๐๐ค๐จ๐ค who has to sadly keep you a secret. Many times paparazzi have seen you two together, but never once could they recognize you, but the headlines were glaring with fake gossip about his personal life. "CHOSO KAMO'S SECRET LOVER?!" "DID CHOSO KAMO LIE IN HIS RECENT INTERVIEW?!" "WHO IS THE MYSTERIOUS WOMAN ALONGSIDE CHOSO KAMO?!" he could laugh at how ridiculous the media is, always focused on what other people are doing and never worrying about real issues like homelessness or the rising numbers of people who can't afford basic groceries.
๐พ๐๐ก๐๐ ๐๐ช๐จ๐๐๐ฃ๐ ๐พ๐๐ค๐จ๐ค who although is always at some sort of interview/event always makes sure you are well taken care of. He always calls you, always texts first, and makes sure to make it up to you in any way he can. He knows you don't want to be in the limelight, but he can admit that he feels almost too selfish to be your husband. He wants to showcase you from the ends to the earth. Kiss you publicly, flip off any girl whose dreams were crushed, he wanted to show the wedding ring with your name engraved in it.
๐พ๐๐ก๐๐ ๐๐ช๐จ๐๐๐ฃ๐ ๐พ๐๐ค๐จ๐ค who always uses you to help him keep succeeding, that being having you help him memorize lines, because all he wants to do is hear your voice instead of the actress he has to fall in love with for the film, or have you help him get ready for a talkshow, and even sometimes a simple kiss on the lips and a quick pep talk, "Don't be so nervous, I don't want to see any wrinkles until your 45! So take a deep breath, and treat it like I'm right by your side, cause I am, just from afar!" making him laugh and loosen up a bit before any nerve-wracking thing he must do.
๐พ๐๐ก๐๐ ๐๐ช๐จ๐๐๐ฃ๐ ๐พ๐๐ค๐จ๐ค who pleaded and begged for you to come with him to an award show. Promising you any dress, any heels, any wish. He wanted this to be the moment he shines his golden wedding ring which went beautifully with your diamond one. He wanted to wrap his hand tightly on your hip, showing the cameras what's his. He wanted to go up on that stage and thank you, and only you for helping him work his way up to this. He wanted to introduce you to all his celebrity friends who they too didn't know you existed. To be honest, it wasn't a want anymore, it wasn't a choice for you anymore. You were going with him, and if you don't, he will simply die.
๐๐๐๐
๐พ๐๐ก๐๐ ๐๐ช๐จ๐๐๐ฃ๐ ๐พ๐๐ค๐จ๐ค who doesn't waste a second pulling you flush against him after dodging and weaving to avoid paparazzi or fans. He holds you so close, kissing your lips to the point of pain. You moan into his mouth, feeling his growing boner harden against your thigh. "Mmm, fuck, finally get to show my fucking wife how much I love her." He growled bringing his hands up with your shirt to pull it over your head. He then unclasped your bra, and his mouth watered seeing your tits. He couldn't wait to have you in every position he could think of, he might even put you into the same one a few times, just so he can see you so desperate for him.
๐พ๐๐ก๐๐ ๐๐ช๐จ๐๐๐ฃ๐ ๐พ๐๐ค๐จ๐ค who is a switch when it comes to sex. He will very much pound, circle, and suck you into the very shell of yourself, but he also wouldn't mind you using him as well. He could have you at his mercy one night, on your hands and knees begging like a starved puppy, or, he could be pleading for you to touch him after an hour of being tied up and you playing with yourself in front of him.
๐พ๐๐ก๐๐ ๐๐ช๐จ๐๐๐ฃ๐ ๐พ๐๐ค๐จ๐ค who surprisingly has a nipple kink. He goes absolutely psycho when you play with his nipples. He could cum simply alone from nipple play, and that plays into your fantasies perfectly. "Aha! N-no more, I need to b-be ins-IDE you!" Choso wreathed underneath you as you sat on his stomach playing with his nipples, licking, sucking, and biting the pink nubs. His hands and feet were tied to the corners of the bed, and you only let go on one of his nipples that you've been licking and sucking, and softly kiss his wet lips. "just one more baby, and you can get whatever you want, just one more." His breath shook as he nodded, feeling your warm lips and tongue resume what they were doing before.
๐พ๐๐ก๐๐ ๐๐ช๐จ๐๐๐ฃ๐ ๐พ๐๐ค๐จ๐ค who always, always, ALWAYS records/photographs you when you're being intimate. He had no plans of using them in a certain way, let alone post them, but he likes the feeling of having you with him everywhere, and that being when you both were the closest, when you both were the most connected (pun intended). The photos usually consists you somehow seductively posed before the intimate moment begun, then you looking like a hot mess. "fuckkk, look up at the camera baby, don't care which lense, look at all three for all I care." Choso encouraged as he bobbed your head up and down his dick. He groaned when you made eye contact with the camera, Choso getting butterflies seeing you look so... Sexy. Choso smirked as he recorded you, the gagging and slick sounds filled the phone, and all he could do was smirk at how obedient and hot you were. "Just like that, when I'm done recording this, I want a few more angles of you in different positions, does that sound okay?"
๐พ๐๐ก๐๐ ๐๐ช๐จ๐๐๐ฃ๐ ๐พ๐๐ค๐จ๐ค who could literally fuck you for days. Not an exaggeration. He would fuck you all night, and let you sleep for a few hours, and then fuck you again for many more hours, then let you sleep. You once did nothing but fuck for 3 days straight, and that's because your husband was in Paris for a month. Choso could not get enough of your pussy, and you could not get enough of his dick. His dick was everything you could have ever wanted (next paragraph goes in more detail). He knew how to use it, and so did you. You knew how to roll your hips and how hard you should bounce on his dick for it to reach your g-spot. You were good at finding it, but he was the best. "Harder, Cho! Please baby!" You moaned into his ear as he pounded into you. Choso quickly stopped his thrusts, and readjusted himself. He spread your legs even more, and spread his legs a little more too. He got better ground, and it was fucking game over for you. He rammed fast into you, and the immediate buttery feeling filled you. You let out scream in Euphoria, and he chuckled "Found it." Before he leaned down to kiss you. His hands gripped the sides of your head tightly as you both moaned loudly into each other's space. He smiled seeing your fucked out face, and couldn't help but think how you look a billion times hotter all fucked and spaced out for him.
๐พ๐๐ก๐๐ ๐๐ช๐จ๐๐๐ฃ๐ ๐พ๐๐ค๐จ๐ค who has a big dick. You knew, he knew, the media knew. How does the media know? Creepy people were taking photos of him at the beach, straight at his crotch, that sparked a whole new thing that resulted in many stories and fanfics being written about him that always talked about it, but here's his trusty wife to tell us the details. His dick is big in every way. 8.5. Fucking. Inches. Long. Not a joke, not a myth, it's a fact. And before any of you "that's not even a lot!" People start bitching, go look up an 8 inch dick and see if you can take that comfortably.. anyways, I digress. Everytime you both fuck, it hurts in the beginning. Choso obviously peeps you more than most, but it still can't change the fact it goes so deep. The stretch is a bit over moderate, but the depth is insane. You could actually feel it in your tummy, and Choso always pushes his hand deep into your tummy to feel it go in and out. You always wondered how you got so lucky to have a man like him, handsome on every part of him, inside and out, but truthfully, Choso always questions how he even pulled you, so who's really lucky?

Since 2014, millions of Uyghurs, Kazakhs and other minorities have been locked up in China and subjected to torture and forced labour. Some of those freed talk about trying to rebuild their lives in neighbouring Kazakhstan.
Photography by Robin Tutenges
A Chinese course book
Saliman Yesbolat used to live in Ghulja county, Xinjiang. After she refused to denounce her Uyghur neighbours to the police, she was forced to perform the raising of the Chinese flag every Monday at dawn, and to attend Chinese lessons twice a week in the basement of her building, where she would learn the Chinese language, patriotic songs and Xi Jinping's discourses by heart. This is her exercise book.
Forced to leave China
At 65, Imam Madi Toleukhan is one of the oldest refugees in Bekbolat, Kazakhstan, where more than 100 families took shelter after fleeing the Chinese regime. 'We were richer back there. I owned a herd, but I was too afraid for my sons, my grandchildren and their future: I came to Kazakhstan to save them. I didn't want them to be the fourth generation to suffer at the hands of the Chinese government, he says.
Remembering Uyghur culture in exile
Two members of the Dolan Ensemble, a Uyghur dance troupe based in Kazakhstan, get ready before performing a traditional dance to mark 40 days since the birth of a baby. Founded in 2016, the troupe performs at festivals or private events that bring together members of the Uyghur community, some of whom have had to leave Xinjiang.
Torture, infertility and damaged genitalia
In Kazakhstan, medical care for camp survivors is poor. Most victims can barely afford to see a family doctor. Anara*, an endocrinologist in a Kazakh hospital who has examined about 50 camp survivors since 2020, noticed recurrent infertility problems among her patients. 'Men or women, many have damaged genitalia. Some told me they'd been given drugs, others said they'd been raped. As they didn't come to us right after being released from the camps, it's impossible to know what kind of drugs they were administered in Xinjiang, she says. *Not her real name
The tiger chair
Ospan* spent a year in a re-education camp. He says his mind and body were crushed by the tortures he experienced in a tiger chair - a steel apparatus with handcuffs that restrains the body in painful positions. Aged about 50, this former shepherd, who took refuge with his family in eastern Kazakhstan, is no longer fit for work. Physically wrecked and prone to headaches, he mourns the loss of his memory above all. 'I used to know a lot of songs and I loved to sing; I also knew poems by heart ... Now, I can't sing any more, I can't remember the words,' he says. *Not his real name
Broken families and imprisonment
Aikamal Rashibek saw the dreadful efficiency of the CCP's brainwashing on her husband, Kerimbek Bakytali, after he was released from a Chinese psychiatric hospital. 'He disappeared for a year. When he came back, he didn't tell me anything about what happened to him. He was highly unhinged, always nervous, and got angry whenever I asked questions. He couldn't stop repeating that he hated Kazakhstan now, and that he wanted to go back to China with the kids to give them a Chinese education, says Aikamal. They are now separated.
Missing loved ones in Chinaโs camps
In March 2017, Miyessar Muhedamu, left, a Uyghur woman, was arrested in Xinjiang under the pretext that she had studied Arabic in Egypt when she was young. Her husband, Sadirzhan Ayupov, right, and her three children have not seen her since. Now that Miyessar has left the camp, Sadirzhan receives a short call every few months. He suspects she might have suffered abuse, yet Miyessar canโt speak freely. โShe told me sheโd been in a re-education camp, and that sheโd been released. When I ask her what she went through there, she doesnโt answer,โ says Sadirzhan.
Life after fleeing China
Sent to a re-education camp in 2018 at the age of 64, Yerke* saw her health quickly deteriorate. Locked a tiny cell with dozens of other women, she almost lost the use of her legs due to the cold floor she had to lie on. She was in the camp when she learned of her sonโs death: pressured by the Chinese authorities, he took his own life. After her release, Yerke fled to Kazakhstan with some family members, but two of her children remain in China. *Not her real name
Forced labour and confessions
Dina Nurdybay, 32, was arrested in Nilka county, Xinjiang, because her traditional Kazakh clothing business made her a separatist, according to the Chinese authorities. She spent 11 months between two re-education camps, a CCP school and a forced-labour sewing factory. After proving she was capable of being โwell behavedโ and having performed a self-criticism in front of the whole village, Dina was released and managed to escape when she obtained a weekโs leave to visit her ailing father in Kazakhstan.
Cultural genocide
Chinaโs repression of ethnic minorities also involves cultural genocide. As Muslim rituals are forbidden in Xinjiang, people are trying to keep their traditions alive across borders. Here, a family is praying together in Kazakhstan after the death of one of their relatives in Xinjiang. They could not repatriate the body because the border between the two countries was closed at the time.

Three Events
Tim had three events that had planned for the day. The tailor, Tamara Fox and the graves of his parents, and there is some surprises.
CW: cursing
Part 4 of Three Weeks
Prev - Three Hopes
The dinner was chaotic.ย
Cassandra announced to everyone that Tim is going to sing at her wedding and Tim just kept on declining that offer, as he definitely did not agree on that but with enough joint force and egging of Jason and Damian, he agreed. Like he has a choice.
Tim doesnโt want to be in the centre, the spotlight, but he got a compromise that he will only sing in their wedding dance and he gets to be Cassandraโs man of honour. He will fight that position with tooth and nail, but apparently Cassโ already reserved that spot to him. Well he is very grateful that he doesnโt need to fight someone then.ย
As the chaos of him singing live in the wedding, Jason decided to fan the flames by saying Timothy doesnโt have anything to wear for the wedding and in the most Wayne thing, they got reserved tomorrow for the fitting. No, Tim has a dress to wear for the wedding, thank you very much, but ever since when his opinion has any value in this household.ย
He is slowly regretting leaving his serene life in Hokkaido. Just doing freelance modelling and photography to make him afford a large house for himself, and also his hard earned syphoned money from the funds that he rather not say.
The morning came before he could even open his eyes, his door was knocked at a vigorous pace and he decided to go back to sleep while pretending that he was still in Japan and he was not back in Gotham. But god forbid he wanted one day for himself, the knocks became louder and shouts were also accompanying the loud bangs on his door, and everyone wanted nothing else but his attention.
He didnโt answer the door but rather just walked towards the bathroom. He tried to wake his mortal body up and thankfully, cold showers do wonders to your sleepy soul and after he washed his face, he could finally stop thinking of ways of escaping back to Japan.ย
He was cleansing his face when he heard his door was blown open. He rolled his eyes at this familyโs antics and continued to do his morning routine. Not everyone is effortlessly pretty, Richard.
He wore his dark green robe when he went out of the bathroom. The scene that he witnessed is something weird even in Gothamโs taste. And that says a lot for a city with a clown as a main terrorist.
Richard and Jason were fighting over something that he rather not comprehend. Damian was sneering at his brothers. Alfred was looking over his wardrobe to see what he should wear to this tailorโs visit. The lovebirds and Bruce were out of sight.ย
He went to Alfred and he was given a black cashmere turtleneck and khaki trousers. He thanks the man and goes back to his bathroom, because just because those mutts don't have any dignity, he should throw his dignity out of the window.
He came out and was instructed to sit down on his bed and Alfred put socks and shoes to his feet, like a delicate maiden. He is embarrased by this, like what in the actual fuck? He can put on his own shoes, Alfred, he is not a kid. Not anymore.
But he just let Alfred to just do it, let his old heart be spoiled. As he was being pampered by the old butler, he watched the chaos of Dick Grayson and Jason Todd in his vanity and he rather not want his things to be in the crossfire of the two idiots.
He was ready to go but Dick gave him a red scarf, Jason gave him a black hat, Damian put on a white earmuff and Cass gave him red gloves. And finally, they were on their way to the tailor. He wants to drive by himself as he also planned to visit Tam on Wayne Enterprise, but as he states that, Damian suggests that the two of them just ride together as he was also going later in the Wayne Enterprise. Tim didnโt think too much about it and he agreed.
Thank all the deities above as he was not stuck in awkward silence with Damian as he was knocked out five minutes in. He would normally be worried what will Damian do to him while sleeping, but he was now just Tim Drake, a past of the Waynes and a replaced member, but he was awakened by the gentle shakes of Damian.
He already has something to wear but maybe he should just change later in the reception with the dress that he brought from Japan. They were escorted to the purple section and he was shoved by at least three different purple suits. Fuck him.
After an hour of fitting different suits, he settled on a purple mandarin collar suit with gold accents. He paid for that discreetly, because god forbid, he is not a trust fund baby anymore. The suit will be delivered to the Manor and he is good to go.
Damian takes him to the Wayne Enterprise and he dashed out as he used his nepotism to find where Tam is so he can proceed to his plan of just pissing her off. He still doesnโt tell her anything about him being back in Gotham. She will kill him, absolutely, no doubt.
But fate is a bitch and he was mistaken as a model and he just doesnโt say anything, he is going on billboards and magazines, so that is going to be amazing, and he can add this to his portfolio. He was wearing a white collared polo with bow tie and black slacks. It was paired with black and white floral coat, and also the star product, the silk socks with black platform shoes.
This was a productive day and it will be more productive if he somehow meets Tam. And he did, at the cafeteria of Wayne Enterprise. No, Tim is not ordering a meal but rather just an espresso. Tam bought an ice coffee and then she proceeded to smack Tim upside in the head.
Tamara looked at him with disgust on her face, โLetโs talk in my office, you bitch.โ and then she hugged Tim for a second.
Tim rolled his eyes, โI miss you too, dear.โ as he grabbed his wallet and got his card.
โPay for my coffee.โ Tam said as she looks at him as if sheโs thinking on how to kill Tim for not informing her.
And Tim loves his life so he just agreed, โSure.โ
After they receive their respective coffees, they go to Tamโs office to catch up.
Tam sat at her seat at her desk, โSo, what is up? Took you seven years to come back.โ she rolled her eyes, still kind of upset on having to be surprised that Tim is here in Gotham.
Tim approached the desk and sat halfway on it, โCass is being married, canโt miss that, even to sacrifice my peaceful life in Japan.โ he sulked, as much as he would rather have his life in Hokkaido, but he also love to see Cass walking down the aisle.
Tam chuckled, โYou still a selfless bitch, I see.โ
โI am not.โ Tam looked at him with a sceptical stare.โI know my worth, darling. I am not a yes man anymore.โ Tim said smugly.
โOf course, you are not.โ Tam rolled her eyes, not believing every single thing Tim just said. She tidied up her desk as she asked, โI am basically done with my stuff, wanna have lunch with me?โ
Tim brightened up with the idea, โThe sushi place near here is still up?โ Japan has good restaurants but eating sushi in your hometown will always taste better than ever. Nothing can beat the chemical infused fish of Gotham.
Tam nodded, โYep. So, sushi?โ Sushi lunches were one of their traditions every two weeks back when Tim worked on Wayne Enterprise. And it was really cheap for a conveyor-belt sushi place.
โWhy not.โ Tim shrugged but inside he was giddily as he would visit that place, the sushi in Japan is fresh and amazing, but he missed eating it with pollution and whatever chemicals in the waters of Gotham.
Tamara and Timothy walked to the sushi place as the place is like a 10-minute walk to the Wayne Enterprise. Tim was already telling the godforsaken accident earlier.ย
โAnd they thought that I was a model, for god sake! I feel bad for the supposed model.โ Tim narrates animatedly, with hands on the air and expressions are wide, something he picked up from watching too much anime.
Tam hummed, โOh, right. You do modelling in Japan, I forgot.โ
Tim joked, โApparently my malnourished body is a standard of fashion in Japan. But work I guess.โ Then he bumped Tamโs shoulder.
Tam giggled, โIf it works, it works.โ
The two continued to catch up as they started to have their fill of sushi. This is fun, the best Tim had for the past days, he was here. Tam and him might end their impromptu engagement with a slap and cold words but as Tim works in the Wayne Enterprise, Tam learned to be civil around him and they developed a strong friendship.
And also he missed having to just laugh with someone who knows everything he's been through that year. He doesnโt hide anything with Tam, Tam also doesnโt hide anything from him, especially her recent fascination with the resident bald baddie who is good with guns.
As the two exited the establishment, a familiar face greeted Timothy and Tamara. The only one that made it above his hatred of Raโs Al Ghul, the one and only Vicky Vale.ย
โMister Drake and Miss Fox, are you rekindling the fire that once lost?โ Vicky didnโt try to hide her intention and asked the question straight on. But instead of letting her get into his nerves, he just laughed, making Vicky Valeโs eyebrows meet.
โNo, no, no. I love Tam as much as a mother could love her aborted child.โ Timothy said with a smile and Tam just snorted beside him, โand sometimes we need to learn that rekindling a fire with soaked wood will never sparked a fire.โ
Vicky Vale was taken aback by the โaborted childโ comment, definitely not expecting such an answer from the well-mannered Timothy Drake back then, and asked another dumb question, โWhy are you back in Gotham after seven years?โ
โI just love Gotham so much that I might want to try some polluted air as the air in other countries is so pure and clean, I thought it would cure my lungs!โ Timothy said with full of cheer in his voice, but Tam already saw through his bullshit as she started laughing.
Tam took a big breath and she leaned into the recorder Vale has, โAnd I am very much happy simping to my dearest beloved that wouldnโt want to accept my love proposals but I would not give up. Right, Tim?โ
Tim just hugged her and patted her back, โThat is right, do not give up Tam! It will get accepted someday!โ
โThis is why you are the only bitch I respect.โ Tam said as the two walked back to the Wayne Enterprise, leaving a stunned Vicky Vale on the sidewalk. Vicky couldnโt believe, Timothy Drake and Tamara Fox are still friends after the break up and Timothy is supportive of Tamaraโs new venture of love. This is not a big scoop but she still has some information to bloom.
++++++
Tim dropped Tam off the Wayne building as he wanted to visit his parents. The visit was long overdue.ย
He walked to the nearest flower shop to buy some lilies and peonies as that was his motherโs favourite. And it was a stapled flower in the household of Drake. Even if his parents are out of the country, he still bought flowers every week just in case his parents come home unexpectedly.
He hailed a cab and told him to take him to Gotham Cemetery. It was a long 25 minute ride, and during that time, his hands felt clammy and he was nervous. He doesnโt know what to say to his resting parents. Heโฆ He abandoned them. He is such a bad child.
As he was walking the cobblestone pathway towards his parents' graves, his chest began to feel heavy, he didnโt visit them for so many years and as he took the final step to be in front of the two gravestones, he put on a smile and gave the flowers to them.
โHey Mom, hey Dad. I miss you.โ Tim starts, โI was in Japan, escaping my problems here, so I am really sorry not to tell you before. You must feel that I abandoned you.โ Tim couldnโt help it as tears began to cascade to his cheeks. โI am sorry for leaving but I did it for my own good, because I know if I stay here, I will break and nobody could fix me, so I left and started a new life with my old broken one. But I managed to heal myself there.โ
Tim sat down between his parentsโ grave, and caressed both of their gravestones, โI am so much happy now, more confident in me, and more pretty.โ Tim chuckled as his own joke, his mother will love that one. โI came back here for Cassโ wedding, she is a sister to me. I gave her your wedding clip, Mom. I hope you donโt mind. I mean it is not like I can wear it in my wedding and I am not marrying a woman, for now at least.โ
And Tim started to tell his parents everything heโve been through. Everything that he now accomplished and everything he experienced. He knows that if he told this to his parents back when they were alive, he would get smacked for being an idiot and then get hugged for all the hardships that he went through.
Tim stopped his stories when snow started to drop. He gave his parents one more smile and promised them that he will visit them before he goes back to Japan, and as if his parents are listening, a huge snowflake landed on the flowers Tim brought.
He waved his parentsโ grave one more time as he started to walk back to the bus stop. Sure, he can afford the cab but buses are colder than cabs and cheaper too. So, win-win.
Tim sat in the last row of the bus and he leaned to the window as he smiled. He is lonely, sure. But after talking to his parents, he is somewhat light. He just smiled and pushed his airpods on and listened to Bachโs.
