Soft To Be Strong

Read on AO3

It started with a sore throat, as it always does. On a Wednesday, of all days. Peter didn’t exactly take much notice of it, which he may have done had it not been for the plethora of assignments that currently hung over his head. He just forced down a cup of ginger tea (nasty stuff) and hurried out of the apartment to catch the train to school.

It wasn’t until he was walking across the football field, a tickle in his throat, that Peter came to the realization that he hadn’t gotten sick since before the bite. For a while he’d thought that maybe he couldn’t get sick anymore, but he supposed that was out the window now. And when a cough forced its way from his throat, leaving him wincing slightly, all he could think about was the really inconvenient timing.

Trying to get work done with an irritated throat was one thing, but then the headache snuck up on him, developing into steady, faint throb by fifth period. He hoped desperately that this was going to be it - he couldn’t afford to take time off school right now - but he had a feeling more was coming.

Sure enough, the following morning, he woke to a faint ache throughout his body and kicked the blankets off himself to cool down a bit, despite the grey skies outside his window. When he staggered out into the kitchen to make himself breakfast, May raised her eyebrows at him.

“You don’t look so good, baby. You think you’re okay for school?”

Peter nodded his head, trying to make his voice sound as normal as possible, “I’m fine, May. Just a bit of a cold. Besides, I really can’t miss class right now.”

“Alright,” she pressed her lips together. “But call me if you need anything. If it gets much worse, I might see if I can get out of the trip. It’s last minute, but I’m sure they can fill the spot.”

“No, no, don’t do that,” Peter hastily shook his head. “Really, May, I’m fine. I can take care of myself. Besides, I know you’re super excited about those seminars.”

“We’ll see. You’re going to the tower this afternoon, right? Maybe you can ask Tony if he can keep an eye on you.”

“May!” he whined, ducking away from her hand that reached to feel his forehead. “It’s just a cold! you don’t need to cancel the trip and you definitely don’t need to bring Mister Stark into this. That’s just embarrassing. He’s not my nanny.”

“You’ve got a point,” she agreed thoughtfully, a teasing smile pulling at her lips. “I’ll see about getting you a nanny then.”

“May.”

    “You’re uncharacteristically quiet,” Happy commented, ten minutes after picking the teenager up from school.

Peter let out a small chuckle, only to wince slightly at the pain in his throat. “I’ve just got a bit of a cold, but I’m fine.”

The man just gave him an unimpressed look. “Alright, but don’t go spreading that around. That’s the last thing I need right now.”

“Yeah, you and me both,” he sighed, leaning back.

When Peter walked into the lab, Mister Stark looked up at him with a smile, only to instantly narrow his eyes. And, look, to be honest, he was beginning to feel a bit offended at this point. Did he really look that bad? Without a word, the man just pulled a small bottle out of the draw beside him and threw it to Peter. Reading the label, he rolled his eyes, but squeezed some of the hand sanitiser into his palm and rubbed his hands together. He offered the bottle back to Mister Stark, but he shook his head.

“That’s yours now. You look like you’ll need it.”

“Ouch,” he frowned. “I don’t look that bad, do I?”

“No, but I know you and I know you always downplay everything so I’m just being cautious. Are you sure you wanna be here, kid? You’ll feel better sooner if you just rest.”

“Is this you trying to get rid of me?”

“No, Underoos,” Mister Stark rolled his eyes. “I just don’t want you working yourself to death.”

“I’m fine, Mister Stark, really,” Peter promised. “Besides, May’s a nurse, remember? I’m in good hands.”

“Okay, but I’m making you tea. Apparently lemon and ginger is great for colds.”

Peter groaned, letting his head drop onto his desk.

About two hours later, when Mister Stark brought him a fresh mug of tea, Peter gripped it tightly, holding it close to him for warmth, web shooters cast aside, forgotten about. The older man gave him a calculating look.

“Just twenty minutes ago you were taking off your jacket and now your all wrapped up again and practically cuddling that mug?” he asked suspiciously, reaching out a hand to feel Peter’s forehead. He went to dodge it, but something about that took too long to process, and suddenly the back of Mister Stark’s cold hand was pressed against his clammy forehead. “Okay, you’re done. FRI, what’s his temp?”

“Peter’s body temperature is currently one hundred point six degrees Fahrenheit.”

Mister Stark let out a sigh. “Alright, call his aunt, let her know he’s staying the night.”

Peter’s eyes widened. “What? No! Mister Stark, it’s not that bad, honest. It’s just a cold. I’ve got super-healing, remember? I’ll be fine. Besides, like I said, she’s a nurse, she’ll wanna be able to keep an eye on me. You’re a genius and all, but this is her area, anyway.”

In his defence, none of that was a lie, per se. Mister Stark didn’t need to know that May was leaving the next day for a three-day seminar interstate. If he did, Peter was sure that he would insist on keeping Peter in the tower, and he really didn’t want the man to have to deal with him with the flu. 

“Fine,” the billionaire conceded. "I’ll have Happy take you home. Then I’ll see about getting the lab thoroughly sanitised. And don’t even think about patrolling for the next few days.”

A sarcastic ‘yes, dad’ teetered on the tip of Peter’s tongue, before he realised what he was about to say and snapped his mouth shut and nodded. “Thanks, Mister Stark. Sorry for… contaminating the place.”

“Just take care of yourself, alright, Pete? Rest, stay hydrated… all that shit. And if your aunt gets sick of you, you’re welcome to come here.”

He doubted that would happen, but gave the man a dry smile anyway “Thanks.”

After dinner, Peter tried to get some work done. He really did. But when May had come in to check on him, only to find him asleep at his desk, clammy forehead sticking to his maths book, she forced him to go to bed, despite his protests. To be fair, he knew that he could barely get anything done in his state, but sitting in front of his work staring blankly at it somehow felt more productive than going to bed to rest. Although a substantial part of him felt too tired to shower, Peter felt quite gross and knew he’d regret it in the morning if he didn’t, so he reluctantly dragged himself into the shower, placing a hand on the tiled wall to hold himself up. He cleaned his teeth for what he estimated was somewhere between 20 and 30 seconds before he decided his teeth could wait but bed could not.

There were many words Peter could choose from to describe how he felt when he woke up the following morning. However, he decided that the most accurate and comprehensive word was ‘shit’. Though, if swear words weren’t allowed, then ‘deathy’ would suffice. He was pretty sure ‘deathy’ was not actually a word, but if ‘chillax’ is accepted by the Oxford English dictionary then surely it’d make its way in there eventually.

Despite Peter’s quite rigorous shivers, it felt like his whole body was damp with sweat. His throat felt like someone had shoved sandpaper down it, all his muscles felt achy and weak, and his nose felt stuffy too. He lifted his head up to look at the time, only to find that his skull suddenly seemed very heavy and flopped back down exhaustedly. He desperately wanted some water to soothe his throat, but moving was really tiring and he didn’t want to leave the warmth of his bed.

Fortunately, it was only a few minutes later that May knocked on his door. He let out some interpretive noise that she apparently understood correctly as a ‘come in’ and stopped suddenly in the doorway when she saw him.

“I don’t think I have to tell you this,” she began, “but you’re definitely not going to school today.”

She came back a few seconds later with some ibuprofen, a glass of water with a straw and a thermometer, not even saying a word before, handing him the pills, pushing the straw in front of his lips and then placing the thermometer under his tongue. 

“You’re at one hundred and two point five,” she muttered with a frown, shaking her head slightly. “I’m cancelling the trip, I’m not leaving you like this.”

“No, no, no,” Peter croaked. “I’m okay, May, I can look after myself. It’s just a slight fever.”

“It could get worse,” May argued gently, brushing his damp hair back. “I know you can look after yourself, hun, but I don’t want you to. What kind of parent would I be if I left you alone looking like this?”

Peter forced a playful grin. “Devilishly handsome?”

“Like shit,” she corrected bluntly, rolling her eyes at him. “It’s not a big deal, Peter,  there’ll be other opportunities like this.”

“I don’t want you to miss out because of me. I’ll be fine, honest. And if it does get worse, I’ll call Mister Stark.” He really hoped it didn’t get worse because he wasn’t planning on living up to that promise at all. “Besides, you’re meant to leave in a few hours, it’d definitely be too late to fill your spot now and it’d just be a waste. I’m not dying or anything, I’m just a bit sick, but I’ll start getting better soon and then you’ll have missed out for no reason.”

“Having peace of mind that you’re okay will never be a waste, Peter,” May said firmly.

“I’ll call you, then. I’ll call you every night and you can get updates and tell me what I should be doing and be reassured that I’m okay. How ‘bout that?”

The woman let out a sigh, looking conflicted. “Fine. But if I see fit, I’m coming back early, alright? And make sure Tony knows what’s going on just in case.”

“Okay,” Peter agreed softly.

“I love you.”

“I love you too.”

      Peter was not doing well late that night. In his defence, he really thought he would be getting better by now. He had thought his healing factor would have kicked in by now and that he wouldn’t have gotten this sick in the first place. Instead, he seemed to be getting progressively worse, his temperature spikes growing more severe, his muscles growing achier, his breath growing shorter and his throat growing more painful. Not to mention the mucus he kept coughing up. His chest had started to hurt from all the coughing, and no amount of water relieved it. When May called him from her hotel room, he had to fight her again to stay, insisting he was fine and could take care of himself and that he sounded worse thane felt (a lie).

A day later, there was still no change, and Peter had hardly eaten a thing. This was for a number of reasons: 1) despite feeling hungry and knowing he needed to eat, he really didn’t feel like it. He was simultaneously ravenous and disgusted by the idea of eating and it was a very conflicting time. 2) just swallowing his own spit hurt his throat, swallowing fluids irritated it even more, he could only imagine how agoniizng trying to get anything more substantial than milk down. And 3) he highkey could not be bothered. Partly due to his perpetual weakness and exhaustion, but also because of the steady ache in his muscles that triggered protest whenever he tried to leave his bed.

So, no, he hadn’t showered since Thursday night, but he was the only one home and given the fact that he wasn’t leaving his bed, his stink would be confined to his bedroom.

Although he was expecting it, when his phone rang and May’s contact lit up the screen, he panicked a little.

“Hello,” he practiced to himself, shaking his head when it came out weak and croaky. He tried a couple more times to try and make his voice sound more normal, but to no avail. He just stared blankly at the ringing phone trying to figure out what to do until it stopped ringing, and his panic rose slightly. If he texted to say he was in the shower or in another room when she called, she would just call back again, but if he ignored it, he knew the woman would probably fret and assume he was dying. Mind you, it didn’t feel too far from the truth.

He needed to respond with something that would reassure her he was okay while also giving an excuse not to call her and not being suspicious as hell about it.

Peter

Hey May! I’m okay, but my voice is gone right now so I can’t actually talk.

May

I can come back, it’s really not a problem

Peter

I’m beginning to feel better, my voice is just really weak but I’m okay. There’s no point coming back now.

May

Alright but let me know if you need anything.

Peter really did hate lying to May, but he didn’t want her missing out on the seminars just because he was sick. Just as he was contemplating the effort of getting up to get another glass of water, his phone rang again, this time it was Mister Stark. He definitely didn’t want him to know how sick he was, because he knew the man would feel some kind of obligation to take care of him and he also didn’t want to be seen in this state - he was Spider-Man, after all. So he didn’t have to wait for it to ring out, Peter declined the call and started to write a text to explain why he couldn’t answer. He was just about to send it when a notification for a voicemail popped up.

“Kid, what the hell?” Mister Stark demanded. “I just got a call from your aunt asking me to check up on you because apparently you’re very unwell and she’s in fucking Michigan for work, which you conveniently failed to mention when you insisted she’d want to keep an eye on you. And she thinks you’re not being honest and now you fucking decline my call? So help me God, Peter Parker, if you don’t call me back in ten minutes I am flying over there in a suit and you will not like it.”

Peter cringed, and deleted the text he had been about to send.

Peter Sorry Mister Stark, I just didn’t want you to worry or feel like you had to take care of me or anything. I’m okay, but my voice is gone at the moment so that’s why I declined the call. Figured it’d freak you out if you tried to talk to me and just heard wheezing on the other end lol

Mister Stark I’m coming over.

Peter I’m fine, Mister Stark, I’m just resting and stuff. It’s late and I’m about to go to sleep anyway.

Mister Stark

If you want people to take you seriously when you say ‘I’m fine’ maybe you shouldn’t say it so often when you’re definitely not fine.

Peter ¯\_( ツ )_/¯

Mister Stark Stop using that thing to respond to everything. And fine but I’m coming over tomorrow. Call me if you need something before then though.

Peter Yea okay, I’ll cough in morse code if I still can’t talk

Mister Stark I’m serious kid

Peter So am I 😤

Mister Stark Bless you?

Peter Lmao that wasn’t a sneeze Mister Stark, it’s a huff of frustration

Mister Stark Whatever.

Peter Goodnight Mister Stark

Mister Stark Night kiddo. Sleep well.

    Peter had thought Saturday was bad, but come Sunday morning, he knew he wasn’t okay. He had been so confident that he would feel at least a bit better, but instead he woke up with the instinctual feeling that something was wrong. He wasn’t exactly sure why this feeling way only now, considering how he had hardly been in a decent state yesterday, but then his heart rate and breathing were even more erratic than yesterday, and the sharp pain in his chest was certainly knew.

He wondered vaguely if he had simply coughed so much that his lungs had been dislodged from their usual position. That would make sense. And look, Peter knew that shivering violently while simultaneously sweating was not a great sign, but by now, he had insisted he was fine so many times that now he’d be facing ‘I told you so’s if it turned that he was not, in fact, okay. Though, at this point, that wasn’t so much of a hypothetical as a fact.

He was not okay, and it was probably time he asked for help, especially considering the fact he hadn’t eaten in over twenty four hours or had a drink on about fourteen, which was very bad news for someone with his metabolism.

Peter fumbled for his phone, opening Mister Stark’s contact and pressing the call button.

It rang. And rang. And rang. And rang.

“You know who I am and you know what to do.”

Beep.

    “I just don’t think meetings should be allowed on Sundays - FRI, do not disturb - I mean, who wants to attend meetings on a Sunday? I certainly don’t.”

Pepper sighed exasperatedly. “As you’ve abundantly clear. Besides, some people have very schedules and don’t have another option.”

“Hey, I have a busy schedule,” Tony defended as the pair walked towards one of the conference rooms.

“Take time in the lab out of that.”

Tony paused. “It’s a bit less busy. But that’s besides the point! My lab time is very important, that’s where I give birth to my brainchildren.”

“Ugh, please never say that again. And I literally saw you and Peter setting up a blanket fort in there one time.”

“He’s a kid!”

“That’s fine, but the problem is you act like a kid too when you’re a grown man.”

“I mean… I never actually grew a whole lot.”

“Exhibit A,” Pepper scowled.

“Anyway, that kid has come down with something and his aunt is away for work so if we could wrap this up quickly so I can make sure he hasn’t sneezed himself unconscious, that would be great.”

“Come down with what? A cold?”

“Something like that. He had a bit of a fever when he came over on Thursday, maybe it’s the flu.”

“Poor thing,” she frowned.

“When I’m sick you always just tell me to woman up,” Tony grumbled.

“And yet...Mr Burgess, Miss Doyle, hi,” she greeted as they walked into the room, shooting Tony a pointed look.

He plastered on a fake smile as he offered his hand and hoped this would be over quickly.

    As it turned out, it was not over quickly. When the two finally left, Tony sighed heavily and slumped back in his seat.

“I do appreciate you being here,” Pepper acknowledged, giving him a small smile. “I know you hate these, so thank you for not making an excuse not to come. Anyway, I need to finish writing my speech for the benefit, but keep me updated on the kid.”

“Yeah, of course. I’ll make dinner tonight?”

Pepper glanced down at her watch and gave him a teasing grin. “It’s nearly noon, Tony, you’d better get started then.”

Tony rolled his eyes, but pressed a gently kiss to her lips before she left. He frowned when he checked his phone and saw he had a voicemail from Peter, eyebrows furrowing in concern.

“Mis-Mister Stark,” he rasped, and Tony’s heart seized. “I dont- I don’t feel well, something’s… wrong. Everything- I can’t-… hurts….”

God, he sounded miserable and the kid’s sniffled told him he was in tears. The message was from nearly two hours ago. Tony swallowed harshly, already jogging out the door, trying not to panic.

Something’s wrong, Peter had said, his tone desperate.

“FRIDAY, why wasn’t I alerted?” he demanded.

“Your current ‘Do Not Disturb’ protocol mutes all calls except those related to Avengers-level threats and emergencies.”

“From now on, all calls from Peter come through, no matter what.”

“Yes, Boss. Protocol amended.”

“Call him,” he ordered, getting into one of his cars.

Peter picked up on the third ring, his voice croaky, but relieved. “Mister Stark?”

“Kid, what’s going on? What’s wrong?”

“I’m… I don’t feel so good, Mister Stark. I thought- I thought I’d be better by now but I just keep getting worse and I don’t feel right. Like obviously I feel like- like shit, but it’s like my spider sense is kicking up now and- I can’t explain it, but I’m scared Mister Stark." 

“I’ll be there soon, Pete. I’m on my way, okay?” I’ll take care of you. “We’ll take care of this. I’m gonna guess given your current state that you actually weren’t fine yesterday?”

“I didn’t wanna bother you,” Peter explained weakly.

“The only time you bother me is when you hide stuff form me out of fear of being a bother and in doing so, causing me to panic.”

“I’m sorry.”

Tony exhaled deeply, something in his chest uncoiling slightly. “C’mon, bud, we’ve talked about this. You need help, you ask for it, you’ll get it. You need to stop with the keeping everything to yourself because I always find out anyway and it just makes me worry.”

“I’m sorry,” he repeated with a sniffle.

“What have you had to eat and drink today?” There was silence on the other end and Tony clenched his jaw. “You gotta at least drink something, kiddo. You need to stay hydrated.”

“Okay.”

“I’m gonna ask you something and you need to be honest with me. Did you just say you lost your voice last night so you didn’t have to talk to me and inevitably have me realise that you clearly needed help?”

“In hindsight, that was really dumb,” Peter admitted with a weak laugh.

Tony took in a deep, calming breath. “I’m glad you called me when you did. Even if you don’t need help, it’s nice to have it when you’re sick. Just sit tight and I’ll be there soon, alright?”

While the drive was usually about half an hour, Tony made it in twenty minutes. He would have been calmer if Peter was just sick, but his mention of his spider sense had him on edge. When he arrived at the apartment building, he hurried up to Peter’s floor and knocked on their door.

“Pete? I’m here. Let me in, kid.”

A few moments and a few indistinguishable sounds later the door opened, revealing Peter standing there, gripping the doorknob tightly and swaying slightly. Tony had thought he’d known what to expect based on the teenager’s voice over the phone, but standing there in front of him, he realised it was even worse than he thought.

Peter’s face was sunken, flushed and clammy, heavy bags under his eyes. His lips were dry and cracked and his hair stuck to his sweaty face. He blinked slowly, as if trying to process who was standing in front of him, only to wobble slightly and begin to fall. Tony insanely reached out and grabbed him by the shoulder to hold him up, wincing at the heat radiating off his skin.

“Shit,” he muttered, having to use more of his strength as Peter just continued sinking lower and lower. He immediately fumbled for his phone. “Kid, c’mon, you gotta work with me here - FRI, what’s his temperature?”

“Peter’s body temperature is currently one hundred and six point nine degrees Fahrenheit.”

“Fuck!”

“He is in hyperpyrexia and medical attention should be sought urgently. In the meantime, it is recommended you try to lower his body temperature as soon as possible. I suggest you run a cool bath and apply a cool damp washcloth to his forehead.”

“Okay, okay. Call Bruce!”

Tony hooked an arm under Peter’s knees and carried him to the bathroom, placing him in the bath  still fully dressed and turning on the tap. The boy immediately protested, jerking in response to the cold water and deliriously trying to climb out.

“No, no, Pete, you need to stay, we gotta bring your fever down.”

“Tony? What’s going on?”

“Bruce!” Tony cried out in relief. “It’s the kid - he’s really sick, his temperature is through the roof, it’s at a hundred and six point nine. I’m- I’ve got him in the bath right - stay still, kid - in the bath right now but I don’t know what else to do.”

“First you gotta calm down, you can’t help him if you’re in a panic. Keep him in the bath for now, I’ll get a bed and a team set up ASAP. Get a suit ready so you can bring him straight to the tower on my signal.”

“Okay,” he breathed, nodding to himself and using his watch to summon suit before grabbing a wash cloth and holding Peter down so he could press it against his forehead.

“It’s s-s-so c-cold!” the teenager whined, writhing weakly, reaching a wet hand out and gripping the lapel of his suit jacket.

“It’s not, Underoos, you’re just super hot right now. That’s why I gotta do this.”

“I really am sorry,” he cried, tears forming in his eyes. “I’m sorry, can I p-please get out?”

He stared desperately at Tony, a pleading expression on his face. His eyes glistened in agony, his pupils boring into Tony’s and begging him to make it stop. Tony felt a painful tug at his heart, wanting nothing more than to take away his suffering and feeling utterly useless. While he knew , logically, that the cool bath was meant to help reduce his temperature, an instinctual part of him wanted to snatch the boy out of there and wrap him up. That same part of him sent chilling tidal waves of guilt that crashed angrily in his chest at the fact that he was the one who put Peter here, that he was forcing him to stay in the water that was making him so uncomfortable.

“This isn’t a punishment, Pete, Christ,” he whispered brokenly, finding it progressively harder to watch the boy’s struggle. "I’m only doing this because I have to, okay? The flu can be really dangerous, it can- it can- shit. I’m not mad at you, I promise. But you’re really hot and I know it doesn’t feel like but we’ve gotta cool you down. But Bruce is getting ready to treat you and when he’s ready we’ll get out of here, okay?”

Tony knew there would most likely be further unpleasant methods of reducing Peter’s body temperature, but he didn’t need to know the right now. He began scooping water up in his hands and pouring it gently over Peter’s head and running it through his hair, forcing himself to continue even when he flinched violently and tried to pull away.

“Peter, please, I need you to stop fighting me.”

The teenager stared at him through red-rimmed eyes for a moment before reluctantly nodding his head and weakly breathing out, “okay”. He screwed his eyes shut and tensed his body, only shaking slightly when Tony poured another lot of water onto his hair.

“Doctor Banner recommends that you depart for the tower now,” FRIDAY alerted him. “He will be ready by the time of your arrival.”

“Okay, kiddo, we’re done, how about that?” Tony breathed, helping Peter out of the bath. “I’m gonna get in the suit and fly you to the Medbay where Bruce will fix you, alright?”

Peter nodded weakly as the suit formed around Tony, and let himself be lifted up by his metal-encased arms. Only minutes later, he was stepping out of the suit in the medbay and handing him over to the medical team, who immediately intubated and ventilated him, as well as putting him on a drip.

He heard words like ‘hypoxia’, ’respiratory distress’ and ‘bronchoscopy’ and wondered how he could have possibly missed the kid’s lungs giving out. He had literally been about to leave to go to the kid’s apartment the previous night, but had decided against it when Peter insisted he was about to go to bed out of concern that he would be overbearing or hovering too much. He should have gone anyway just to check, he should have known Peter would be playing it down.

It didn’t matter how many safety measures he set up, Tony would always be worried about Peter getting hurt as Spider-Man. He had imagined every dangerous scenario he could think of, fretted over the many ways Peter could end up severely injured or dead from patrol. Out of all the risks he faced on a day-to-day basis, he had never considered this, never thought that the fucking flu might be what killed him.

“Tony."

The man glanced up as Bruce approached.

“I think I know what’s going on-“

“You ‘think’?” Tony snapped, his face crumpling in guilt seconds after the words left his mouth. “Sorry.”

The doctor just shook his head dismissively. “Most flu-related deaths-“ Tony flinched. “-aren’t caused by the actual influenza virus, rather a secondary infection - usually pneumonia - or an overreaction from the immune system. Usually white blood cells and antibodies are sent out to eliminate the threat and T cells destroy the affected tissue, which is predominantly in the respiratory tract and lungs. However, sometimes the response can be too strong and damage too much tissue, restricting the amount oxygen delivered to the blood, which… given Peter’s accelerated healing-“

“So, basically his body is destroying itself,” he interrupted weakly.

“Essentially,” Bruce nodded. “The bronchoscopy will show the extent of the damage, and if that is the case, then we can put him on ECMO, which basically improves the gas exchange, preventing further hypoxia and organ damage, allowing the lungs to begin to heal. We’ve also got him on antibiotics, ibuprofen and an IV, so once his fever breaks and his body realises it can stop attacking itself, it can work to repair the damage. He’s going to be okay, Tony.”

Tony let out a breath of relief. “You know, you could’ve started with that.”

“Maybe,” he agreed with a small smile. “But then you wouldn’t have listened to anything I said and then ask questions and then I’d just have to repeat everything I said.”

“Sorry, what did you just say? I wasn’t listening.”

    Tony stirred awake from his position beside Peter’s bed when some kind of shuffling noise disturbed his sleep. He blinked slowly, sitting up straighter when he realised the source of the noise was Peter, writing something down on a notepad, restricted slightly by the ventilator. Seeing that the man was awake, Peter tore off the sheet and handed it to him.

This is getting repetitive.

A scoff passed through his lips. “Then stop almost dying."

Peter’s small grin faded, a frown forming gnosis face before he started scrawling something down again.

I’m sorry for lying to you. That was super dumb.

“Kid, you never have to worry about bothering me, okay? I just want you safe and happy, and this whole ‘lying so that you don’t annoy me’ bullshit needs to stop. I can’t help you if you don’t let me, and when I can’t help you, it stresses me out. And for God’s sake, stop saying ‘I’m fine’ when you’re very not fine.”

Peter nodded solemnly before beginning to write again. Did you end up sanitising the lab?

“Yup. Glad I did too. I’m a total wuss when I’m sick.”

Yeah, I bet.

Tony scowled meanwhile Peter grinned, shoulder shaking slightly with laughter. “Don’t test me, Underoos, or I’ll sell your Spider-Man suit on Amazon.”

    Four days later, after being gradually tapered off oxygen support until Bruce declared his lungs to be sufficiently healed, Peter was on his feet, back to his usual restless, bubbly nature. Naturally, May had been less than pleased to find out Peter had been struggling so much and refusing to ask for help, and even more so when she realised how severe the situation had been. To Peter’s credit, the kid had taken the scolding in his stride and acknowledged his mistakes, promising to not let anything like it happen again.

Tony made that same promise to himself.

Which is why, when Peter sneezed in the lab three weeks later, he may have overreacted. The teenager didn’t seem to think anything of it, but then Tony was shoving a box of tissues and a mug of tea in front of him and his eyes widened.

“I’m not sick, it was just a sneeze, I’m honestly-“

“FRIDAY, give me his body temperature.” 

“Mister Stark!” 

“Peter’s body temperature is currently at ninety-eight point five degrees Fahrenheit, sir.” 

“See, I’m fine! No fever.” 

Tony stared at him through slightly narrowed eyes. “Maybe I should get Bruce, just in case.”

“No! I do not need Bruce Banner checking on me for a freaking sneeze!” 

“FRI, call Bruce.” 

Peter let out a helpless whine, letting his head fall onto the desk with a thud. 

“Great, now he’s gotta check for head injury, too.” 

“Mister Stark!”

Neutral Evil

Headcanons (past, present, personality, preferences)

·      Owen is a hedonistic worshipper. He was born into a seemingly average family and had a few oblivious childhood years before it became painfully obvious that his family was not average, they were traumatic. His father was a drunk who used to hit his mother when he was in his worst states. Owen didn’t understand how she took it and took it; in fact she seemed to disappear to happy places that were not their family home. At the age of nine, he fully understood that the pills she swallowed allowed her to leave this prison and how could he ever blame that – he wanted her to have pleasure. His fascination with drugs began around this time and a small sample of her drugs were the first ones he sold to his classmates.

·       Owen is not a violent man. Well, not really. When he was twelve, during one of his Dad’s rampages against his mother, Owen threw a bottle at his head. The simple act changed their relationship from that point on - Owen was a threat and he would continue to strike until he left. His Dad is long gone now and so is his true desire for violence. His employees can be his hands now. 

·      Owen is an entrepreneur – he always has been. In primary school, he sold sweets to his classmates and was able to get himself a weekly profit of £20; this was a substantial amount for a 7 year old. Now he is the primary source of drugs for the village of Spenningdale and with a weekly profit above £1,000. He thrives in the world of business and dealing drugs comes with many perks – a reputation that allows for the instant VIP upgrade, easy access to drugs and nobody wants to mess with him. He is now a big fish in a little pond and he is itching to expand his field to the next ten to twenty villages. He puts all his energy into this.

·      Owen is a collector. He likes to be able to call things ‘his’ and this doesn’t stop at inanimate objects. He would never have people to work for him on a part-time basis; if they deal for him then they are his. JJ is his friend. He wants that friendship to be on his terms. Charlie is his girlfriend. Before Charlie, he had a string of affairs and fuckarounds, but he realised he had a need to have something that belonged to him that he could call his. Charlie was the obvious choice. They had a personality, they were strong-willed, they were beautiful and they had ambition – the type of person people would be shocked that he could hold down and get to be his, so he had to do it. He loved a challenge and he loved to surprise.

·       Owen is a reality tv enthusiast. He will waste evenings watching the latest craze, but there are very few who know about this specific guilty pleasure. His favourite show is Love Island and he will watch it every night when it’s on. He follows instagram pages for Love Island memes for him to like posts and send to Charlie. 

IN CHARACTER

·      Which of your scars has the best story behind it? And what’s the story?

“They’ve all got great fucking stories.” He lifts up his shirt to show a light mark on his chest. “This one is from an altercation involving a wrench. Pretty nasty, but oh, here is a bad one.” He lifts up the left leg of his jeans and points dramatically at it. “This is just from being thrown into a wall. Couldn’t even put stitches in, because it was too close to the bone AND this one…” He rolls up his right sleeve to show a fading scar on his forearm. “It’s from… oh shit, yeah paintballing. Years ago.”

·      What was your first sexual experience if you’ve had one? Do you think back to it fondly or not?

He inhales sharply so his cheeks fill with air and then he slowly exhales. “Uh… can’t remember her fucking name in all honesty. I must’ve been…” He strains his face as he tries to remember. “13? And it’s not like it was anything to write home --,” He snaps his fingers. “Tanya Park, that’s who it was! She’s in my year, she’d fucking hate me saying that about her.”

·      What were the last three songs you listened to?

All Mine – Kanye West

Big For Your Boots – Stormzy

Trigger Bang – Lily Allen, Giggs

·      What would be the title of your autobiography?

Fuck Off, I’m Busy

·      Who would you call in an emergency?

“I’m in a lot of dangerous and unexpected situations, as per the definition of an emergency, and I seem to be doing pretty well on my own.” He smirks with a little shrug. “Although... JJ can sometimes be useful.”

Important Connections:

·      Amelia Spurling - The most excruciating day of his life was probably when she approached him in the middle of school asking if he had considered getting help with his drug usage. She won’t take no for an answer and is constantly trying to ‘help’ him, it doesn’t matter how much he expresses his hatred for her and threatens her life. There’s something about her determination though that means he would never touch a hair on her head.

·      Jay Jhaveri - It was obvious to Owen that JJ was something he could mould into something valuable to him. As young teens, he was an easy target for friendship and then he was an even easier target for turning into his right-hand man. Owen had JJ under his thumb and he still doesn’t know how aware of that he is.

·      Charlie Hopper - The actual definition of a power couple when they were at school. They actually had power. Owen with his small time drug business, Charlie with her personal connections. If you wanted to stay safe, then leave them be. Since Charlie left school though and has grown more serious, Owen is watching them fall apart and trying to decide how much he cares.

Information that may/may not be relevant to case:

Matt owed Owen a lot of money.

The Degrassi Reunion We All Knew We Wanted

Just days after I posted my last blog about how fire Drake’s new album is going to be (Scorpion, buy it June 29th), he was almost murdered by Pusha T. Pusha T had never once crossed my mind before this beef, but I did used to love to do the ‘Grindin’ beat on the lunch table in my middle school days. 

It’s been weeks since the diss track, and literal radio silence from Drake. Kind of a 180 when his last rap battle got him a Grammy nomination. But I’m coming from a place where my former ‘celebrity crush’ murdered minimum 3 people and then hung himself in jail, so Drake would have to do A LOT more to get me off #TeamDrake. 

Many people rumored to have ‘called off’ the beef, which doesn't make sense to me. Something tells me Drake is working in the studio to add another track to the album that’s going to set the world on fire, but we have a few weeks for that. In the meantime, Drake did the one thing that will make us all forget about his secret porn star baby. He gave us a Degrassi reunion.

Degrassi means a lot to me personally and is unequivocally a top 5 best show of all time. I spent about 12 hours per day every single day in high school watching Degrassi marathons. I’d stay up until 4am crying on the couch tying to find out if Paige Michalchuk would finally get justice for the dickhead Dean that raped her. It was 13 Reason Why in a less PC time, set in Canada. The slogan for the show was literally, “Degrassi: It Goes There”, and boy did it. 

So when I woke up this morning to a new Drake music video featuring a full Degrassi: The Next Generation reunion, I was emotional. We know Jimmy’s rap career finally took off but was he still in the wheelchair? What has Paige been up to since burning her college dorm down and finding out her boyfriend had HIV? Is Craig still struggling with his coke addiction? Was Manny still a skank? I couldn’t wait to find out.

Let’s see a full breakdown of what your favorite Panthers are up to...

Spinner: Look at Spinner now, ears still big AF. Spinner and Jimmy had a great friendship, but it certainly had its speed bumps since Spinner was partially responsible for Drake being shot and eventually ending up in a wheelchair. Where we leave off in this video, Spinner and Jimmy have fully reconciled and are buying some fresh suits for the class reunion. Their freestyle rap on Degrassi was the original diss track, and Drake may want to rewatch this for some inspiration.

Paige: Paige Michalchuk is the OG HBIC of Degrassi. Kind of mentally unstable, Paige wasn’t the one to fuck with. She was raped (fuck you Dean), performed in the popular girl band PMS, got high before a college interview, and even turned lesbian for a while. Don’t forget the mental breakdown and boyfriend with HIV. After all she’s been through, it’s a miracle that Paige looks this hot now, but did you expect anything different?

Craig: Craig.Fucking.Manning. Craig was one of my first loves. This hair and that emo personality was exactly what I was looking for in 2005. His his award winning performance of “What I Know” by band Downtown Sasquatch was in heavy rotation on my iPod. Craig was the most lovable bipolar kid around. Last we saw Craig he was touring with his successful band and potentially had a very serious coke problem. Current day Craig Manning looks exactly how JC Chasez should look. Good work Craig, still got me hot and bothered.

Emma and Manny: Everyone’s favorite kinda slutty BFF’s were the hottest girls at Degrassi in 2004 and they are still running the table in 2018. Emma was by far the standout hottest cameo in this video, with only some minor cosmetic surgery. Lucky for Manny, Snapchat wasn’t around in the early 2000′s. 

Ashley: This is the outfit you chose for the reunion Ash? You’re supposed to be Drake’s first love. Their relationship was ultimately destroyed when Drake couldn’t get it up and they struggled to keep their sex life alive post-wheelchair.

Rick: Everyone’s least favorite bad boy. The internet has been abuzz with chatter about Jimmy being out of his wheelchair. Maybe he received intense physical therapy and was able to walk again we don’t know. Regardless, Rick had some BALLS to show up to this reunion. This was probably the only school shooting in Canada in the past 20 years. Rick deserves to be jailed and honestly the school should be ashamed they didn’t see this coming earlier. People forget the time he shoved his plus size model girlfriend (looking smokin hot in this video BTW) and put her in a coma after she hit her head on a rock. You better run from that OVO squad Rick. 

Ellie: Ellie was the redhead goth girl, best friends with the token gay kid Marco. She struggled with self-harm and alcoholic parents, but was always pretty chill. I’ve watched this video approximately 400 times and I’ve noticed that Ellie and Jimmy are a liiiiiiitle close. Shoot your shot girl. You’d make a great step-mom.

The rest don’t need a full shoutout but we got to see Marco, Toby, Hazel, Terri, Liberty, and a few others I don’t recognize because I stopped watching. Including one super hot mixed

Notably absent: J.T (although he was murdered RIP), Sean, Alex (Paige’s lesbian lover), Jay.

While we’re at it here are some of my favorite storylines from the show. 

- In an effort to seem more cool while her parents are out of town, Ashley takes ecstasy and embarrasses herself in front of all her friends.

- Emma gets invited to a party at “The Ravine” where she gets a bracelet indicating she must give some random guy head in a van.She promptly contracts gonorrhea.

 - High school president Liberty (ironic) gets pregnant by J.T. because the “condom slipped off”. J.T gets heavily into stealing oxycodone from his job and selling it to drug dealers. He is the actual plug. With the stress of his impending fatherhood, J.T. accidentally takes too many pills. Miraculously he survives but Liberty puts the baby up for adoption. After falling in love with a teen mom from  a rival school (enter Nina Dobrev), J.T. is brutally stabbed by a student for pretty much no reason. WARNING: This is still super fucked up.

 THANK YOU DRAKE, ALL IS FORGIVEN

[170922 Kstyle] B.A.P, New Single「HONEYMOON」- “It feels like we’ve worn new clothes with this song”

B.A.P have released their new single “HONEYMOON” on September 20. This song is a shared lead track, being also featured in their 7th Korean single “BLUE” that was released on September 5. We talked to them regarding their first Japanese-Korean same-month release, behind the scenes stories about the song and music video, and their goals for the future. 

―― “HONEYMOON” being released in the same month in Korea and Japan has become a hot topic. It’s a first for B.A.P, how did you prepare for it? ZL: We always try our best at every moment, but we were really excited whilst preparing for “HONEYMOON” in anticipation of what new sides we could show. Being also the conclusion to the colour series and a new beginning, we worked hard to show an even more complete performance.  DH: Our views are expressed through the songs, so I don’t think having a dual release in Korea and Japan changes anything. However, to be able to release the song at almost the same time to the Japanese and Korean fans is nice. I say this because by promoting at almost the same time, we get to meet the Korean fans, and also the Japanese fans at an earlier date.  YJ: We work hard at making the album when we’re preparing for it since we believe we need to create a good album, so we didn’t particularly focus on the fact that it was to be released simultaneously in Korea and Japan. However, we did take in account to do the recording and music video filming at the same time for both versions. 

―― What meaning is there in the title “HONEYMOON”? The lyrics have a very positive impression too. What’s the direction and concept like? DH: Firstly, the colour series started with black, then red, and finally blue, and I feel like with each step we took, the message conveyed became lighter. There’s a common idea that runs through the colour series, but there was an intense impact for “SKYDIVE”. “WAKE ME UP” further magnified that message, whilst “HONEYMOON” expresses it in a softer manner. We have discussions with the company when we’re creating a song, so there are views from both sides included. From there, various ideas are formed. YJ: I think marriage is the start of a new life. And since the honeymoon that the the 2 go on after their marriage becomes that starting point, “HONEYMOON” has the meaning of “a new start”. 

“The reactions to the new hairstyle was split 50-50 so I cut it!”

―― The melody that revealed its grandeur and whistle-like refrain is memorable, but what image did you have in mind whilst creating the song? DH: This song was from a foreign composer, but Yongguk and Zelo had participated in the lyrics. From there, we were able to add our own touches to create this piece. There was the connection to the black and red from the previous colour series’, and I think we were able to express that in this song too.  ZL: I think the messages embedded in B.A.P’s music is very important. I’ve been able to form my own thoughts and values as I’ve promoted as B.A.P, but it’s great that I’m able to communicate that to the fans in this generation. The theme was already decided for this number, so I wrote the rap lyrics in accordance to that.  YG: That’s right. I think we were able to thoroughly express it well to the song’s theme.

―― The times that you receive inspiration for compositions are? YG: I’m the type to compose late at night. Then I’ll go to sleep when it’s light. 

―― The clothes, hair and makeup concept for this has changed quite a bit from B.A.P’s image till now, how did the fans react? HC: The ones with a drastic change in hairstyle was Jongup and I, and the reactions were split 50-50. And so, I cut it! It’s a different style to what’s in the music video and teaser photos. The preferences were evident so...... I believe I need to listen to the public’s views and thoughts. Whilst there are non-negotiable things we have as artists, I will keep my ears open to the responses and reflect that in my own style. 

―― Do you personally like the mullet style? HC: I don’t think it was bad. It was nice visually, but I think it was a bit too long.  JU: I personally liked it too, but it was a style that garnered a lot of reactions so I cut it. Even so, to challenge a new style and showing something eccentric is good. 

If you were to “paint the world with my own colours” as per the lyrics...?

―― There are the lyrics “dance wildly to the reality you can’t accept”, but has there been any reality that you couldn’t accept recently? ZL: These are the words I wanted to write so I wrote them and realise it myself, but it means to have fun if you can’t escape from reality. Instead of treating it as something you can’t accept, it means to rap and dance when that reality comes along. DH: Lately, there’s an issue that’s come up as I’ve learnt the new dance. We learn the dance from our choreographer and his team, and then gather together to dance it. Since I’ve been in the dance studio often lately, I asked the choreographer directly about the dance’s image, and so whilst I have a clear image of what it should be in my mind, I get various images when I’m dancing with the members. This was an exact moment of “dancing wildly to an image differing to reality”. I had that image distinctly from what the choreographer told me, so I tried to bring that forward and in the end, it matched well.  HC: I can’t accept Jongup’s common sense (laughs) JU: I’m me after all! HC: I wonder what it is. It feels like he doesn’t know what he’s saying himself (laughs).

―― There are the lyrics “paint the world with my colours”, but what is “my colour” for everyone? YJ: If I had to “paint the world with my colours” as per the lyrics, I think it’d be black. When I’m given something or doing something from my own volition, I’m the type to work with that on the limits I set rather than within the set parameters. Black is the result of various colours mixed together, so resonating with how my own parameters don’t change, I think it’ll be black.  JU: My colour is white. It’s easily coloured and will accurately display whatever colour is added to it.  HC: I think I’m gold. Since I’m a star. Worldwide star! DH: I’m rainbow. I often want to express myself musically and have many dreams. I’m in the process of creating my own colour. It’s not rainbow yet, but I want to continue adding more colours.  ZL: Sky blue. Like Jongup with white, it has that same quality of bringing out other colours. With blue being the theme colour for this album, I want to show that with sky blue.  YG: Black and white. Good and evil, I have both sides so I think it’s black and white.

Episodes from filming the “HONEYMOON” MV at Jeju-do?

―― There are various items (goldgish, flowers, pills) and numbers (16, 5, 1, 3, 5) scattered throughout the music video, and images of “violence” & “dark” from the lyrics are reflected. Is there a deeper meaning hidden? YJ: We made it so that the music video itself is a representation of the “BLUE” theme. Regarding those elements, since it’s in the figurative realm, there were ideas to put in multiple elements that couldn’t be understood with just one viewing, and so various items were included. What we want people to focus on is that whilst the music video is colourful and refreshing overall, there are items with a slightly heavier quality like pills and numbers submerged in red water. The fantastical yet deep message borne through those elements is also included. 

―― Were the numbers a sort of puzzle for the fans? YJ: Yes. The hint is the alphabet. HC: Since it’s a colour series, in it’s construction, there a some elements from “WAKE ME UP” brought on through. As such, I think it’ll be interesting if you watch it with the “WAKE ME UP” music video too.

―― How was the solo filming for each member? DH: I was filming by the seaside and although it was a little dangerous in order to get a nice picture, I also filmed on the rocks. I went to the very end and since I was barefooted, I got a few cuts. The filming was completed as I was doused by the strong waves from behind me. 

―― Did you catch a cold from being wet? DH: It was really hot so it was actually refreshing.  ZL: The place I filmed at night was a cultural property. There was a rice field nearby so there were many big bugs which the staff worried about. I danced whilst worrying about how to get a good picture, and when I looked at my hands after finishing filming, there were many green things stuck on them (laughs). I didn’t know if it was grass or something else, but it was a little gross. There were lots of bugs and there were many spider nests too. Not only me, but the staff went through a lot too.  HC: I was in the middle of a diet when we were in Jeju-do, so I couldn’t eat much. We could finish filming earlier since I filmed at the same place as Yongguk, and the abalone congee that we ate afterwards was memorable. It was really delicious.  YG: Back then, Himchan didn’t want to shoot in the morning and wanted to delay it, so I asked him to eat with me if we finish filming earlier.  HC: When I told him “I’m in the middle of a diet though”, he invited me with “it’s early in the day so you can eat” (laughs).  JU: When I was in Jeju-do, there was a day where I had no filming at all so I went to a seafood & galbi restaurant near the hotel. It was really delicious. I couldn’t order for 1 person, so I had to get the 2person serving but I ate well and even used the remaining sauce to make fried rice (laughs).  HC: After after eating with Yongguk and going to see Jongup, what really surprised me was that the restaurant [he ate at] seemed to be famous, and since there wasn’t much seating, there was a line outside. They were in pairs or with family, and Jongup was the only one by himself making fried rice. Seeing that, I thought he was an amazing child.  YJ: The weather was beautiful the whole time when we were filming, but when it was my turn, the weather made a turn for the worse. It got cloudy and we had to film with that weather. 

―― How was filming at Jeju-do like? Have you been to Jeju-do before? DH: We still haven’t gone to Jeju-do together for a holiday before. However, we have been to Okinawa with all the members previously. It was the only private holiday we’ve had. It was a very lavish trip.  DH: We ate lots and rested lots. [T/N: Not sure if it’s a editing miss that both answers are Daehyun]

―― What was the most memorable about Okinawa? HC: The American Village was memorable. We wanted to try the teppanyaki restaurant that was famous there, but there was a line for it. The 6 of us aren’t good with waiting, and on top of that, it was really hot, so we gave up on that restaurant and ate lobster instead.

―― The most delicious thing you ate at Okinawa was? DH: Lobster. YG: Yakiniku! HC: Yes, yakiniku! There was this casual home-like restaurant. We didn’t really know so we just ordered various things, and when we thought this was nice, it was galbi. It was really delicious.  DH: It really was a lavish trip. 

“Being together in 10, 20 years is difficult... being together forever is our goal”

―― What sort of song is the 2nd track “ALL THE WAY UP”? DH: It’s a little brighter than “HONEYMOON”, and conveys a softer message in sync with this concept. With a light and cheerful sound, I think it’s a song that completely represents freedom. There’s also a strong vocal line as well as rap. I think you’d feel refreshed after listening to it. 

―― There’re the lyrics “let’s aim higher”; please tell us what you’re aiming towards as B.A.P or personally.  DH: We’re into our 6th year as B.A.P, and I think it’d be difficult to be together in 10, 20 years. And so, my goal is to be able to be together forever. I have bigger dreams, but I want to realise them one by one at the moment. ZL: I don’t think anything lasts forever, but I want to be together with these members forever and aim even higher.  HC: Personally I want to win Jongup.  DH: Are you losing to Jongup right now? HC: Personally I think I’m losing in all fronts (suddenly starts singing “makenaide” [Please don’t lose] by ZARD) Excuse me. All the B.A.P members have unique personalities and I respect everyone, but Jongup is the only one who acts against the norm and that’s something I can’t respect. Excluding that, I think we can realise all our goals (laughs).  DH: Those actions against the norm are things that normal people won’t usually do. They aren’t wrong (laughs). They are actions that something only Jongup would consider.  HC: They’re actually really good. There are times when they’re excellent and come in handy, but there are times when they’re just poison and that’s concerning (laughs).  JU: Because I’m white. 

“Buying our own CD on LINE LIVE... it was very memorable”

―― Previously, when you released your album “UNLIMITED”, you went on live with Kstyle LIVE with birthday boy Daehyun being the King and such. How was that? DH: To be honest, it was a shame that the King didn’t have many powers, but I was happy alone that they celebrated my birthday. Also I was very disappointed in the cake that the members made for me.  JU: Gochujang cake?  DH: Yes that. HC: It was really prettily made right? DH: It tasted terrible. Was it wasabi? HC: Mustard. DH: To play with food like that.  HC: It’s a work [of art]. A creation.  JU: The theme was rose. Beautiful, but there are thorns. DH: Ok ok (laughs). But I was happy. It was a meaningful day with many fans watching on LINE.

―― Do you usually play pranks between the members? DH: We don’t usually play pranks using food, though we do fool around with jokes. We pick up food and eat it even if it’s dropped [on the floor], so we definitely don’t play with food.  HC: Do you eat food that’s dropped on the floor? DH: You always give me food that’s been dropped right? 

―― Who pulls the most pranks? HC: Daehyun. YJ: It seems like Daehyun knows no limits. DH: That’s right. I often blow a fuse so I play pranks and throw water on them (laughs). 

―― Himchan and Jongup went to Tower Records, how was it like to buy your own CD for the first time? JU: It was very memorable. HC: When we went into Tower Records, I was really happy that our album was there. It was our first time buying our own CD. Though we have gone to see our own album in the shops before. It felt very interesting. There were panels displayed too.

―― The CD from that time was delivered to a fan and they were very happy. HC: Ohh that’s great! It was a huge limited edition wasn’t it. It was expensive (laughs).

―― You also reached 10,000,000 hearts for the free live broadcast. There were many comments from the fans who worked hard for the hearts saying “my fingers hurt”. DH: It was such a difficult task, I’m really grateful. HC: At the end of the show, there’s a ranking that shows how many hearts they gave, and our manager was in the top 100. He gave around 90,000 hearts. ZL: 90,000? I pressed around 10,000 times. I pressed subconsciously. I couldn’t control myself. After pressing it, it was more difficult than I thought. HC: I’m very thankful to everyone’s hard efforts. We’ll work hard in response to that. DH: Please invite us to LINE LIVE again!

Dramas, movies, games... What’s B.A.P into lately?

―― In our previous interview, Zelo said that he was obsessed with watching “Fight for My Way”, but is there any drama, music, manhwa or movie that you’ve been into lately? HC: Afterwards, I got into it too! DH: I’m been into the drama “Game of Thrones”. I’ve finished watching season 7! It was very interesting. But since there are members who still haven’t watched it yet so I won’t talk or it’ll be a spoiler. I really want to talk about it but... The dragons! I’ll stop there (laughs).  ZL: I stopped at season 2 or 3. I feel like I watched something I wasn’t supposed to... DH: You’re already an adult! ZL: No, I watched it on the plane and I was conscious of the people around me. HC: Youngjae and I are into the drama “Stranger” [Secret Forest]. We/I watched all 20 episodes in one go, nonstop. It was really good. JU: I like “Kimi no Na wa.” [Your Name]. It was interesting. I watched 2, 3 times. I’d actually wanted to watch it in the cinemas, but I couldn’t make the time and wasn’t able to. I like emotional Japanese animes such as “Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo” [The Girl Who Leapt Through Time] and “Kimi no Na wa.”. The movie “The Talented Mr. Ripley” was also memorable. I’m also playing the mobile game “kyou mo yomigaeri” [resurrected today as well].  ZL: I’ve watched “Fight for My Way” from episode 1, but I haven’t watched the last 2 episodes. I know what happens already, so I didn’t watch the remaining 2 episodes and watched movies at the cinemas. YG: I bought a scooter lately so I’ve been obsessed with that. HC: Yongguk bought the Italian scooter (Vespa) that was in Jude Law’s movie “Alfie”. 

It feels like we’ve worn new clothes with “HONEYMOON” 

―― Since debuting in Japan in 2013 with “WARRIOR”, 4 years have passed and this single will be your 8th one, how does it feel? DH: I think we’ve been steadily releasing CDs after our debut. Compared to our promotion periods, we’ve really released a lot of CDs. And so, with each new release, you can see more and more of our past, and the areas that we need to improve on and develop are clearly visible. That way, there are more challenges open to us and more things that we want to try. 

―― Now, a message please to the fans waiting in Japan.  DH: Let’s go on a “HONEYMOON” together. HC: With this song, it feels like we’ve worn new clothes. I hope you have many fun and happy memories from this song. I wish this to be a album full of love and happiness.  JU: As usual, I want to meet with the fans and create good memories, and treasure those memories for life. YJ: We worked hard this time too, so I want to show a good stage to everyone. Please give us lots of love and support. Thank you very much.  ZL: I’m happy that “HONEYMOON” gives us the chance to see everyone again. I hope this will be a good memory when you look back on it.  YG: I’m hoping this promotion will allow us more chances to meet with fans. Please give us your support. Always, thank you very much.

What Is This Supplement

Nobi Nutrition Premium Fat Burner for Women is a fat burner made by Nobi Nutrition, marketed specifically towards women.

If you look more closely at the supplement you will realise that this gender-specific marketing is just to make a little extra money. There is nothing in its formula specifically for women, both sexes would experience similar effects when using this supplement.

Find the exact diet pills best suited for your lifestyle and body shape.

How Does It Work?

Hand with marker writing: How Does It Work?

It is believed that this fat burner will offer similar benefits to those experienced when undergoing the keto diet.

When you undergo the keto diet you will be eating a diet low in carbs, but is high in fat. This leaves your body in a state of ketosis, where your liver will start to manufacture ketone from stored fat. These ketones are then used for energy instead of the glucose you would usually get when eating carbohydrates.

What Are The Benefits?

According to the Amazon listing, using the Nobi Nutrition Premium Fat Burner for Women will provide you with the following benefits:

An increase in metabolism

Energy boost

Weight loss support

Increased fat loss

Ingredients

Nobi Nutrition Premium Fat Burner for Women contains a proprietary blend of Calcium Beta Hydroxybutyrate, Sodium Beta Hydroxybutyrate and Magnesium Beta Hydroxybutyrate.

It is claimed that consuming this formula can help give you an energy boost, and is an alternative energy source to calorie-rich carbs.

Can It Help You Lose Weight?

I have my doubts that Nobi Nutrition Premium Fat Burner for Women offers any real weight loss benefit.

While the claims sound impressive, when you look at the ingredients used in more detail there is very little proof to back these claims up.

The keto diet itself has been shown to promote fat loss along with various other health benefits including an increase in HDL (good) cholesterol and decrease in LDL (bad) cholesterol, but research into BHB supplements is in its infancy. Not even the Compound Solutions (the manufacturer of goBHB) website have stated fat burning as one of its benefits.

Fat burning as a benefit is something that Nobi Nutrition has added to their Amazon listing without any proof. No doubt to entice people desperate to lose fat into purchasing it.

If you want to use this supplement then you should only use it as a way to boost your energy levels, perhaps while undergoing the keto diet. However, if you are following the diet correctly then this won’t really be of any benefit.

What Is The Science?

The only current scientific research available to prove any weight loss or fat loss claims was performed on rats.

In this study, it was shown that exogenous ketone supplementation could result in ketosis being experienced. Similar to the effects experienced while undergoing the keto diet.

Only time will tell if any human studies will be performed, and whether similar effects will be experienced.

Side Effects

Although the main ingredient (goBHB) is considered relatively safe. There are those who have encountered side effects from its use.

Potential side effects that you may encounter include stomach upset, diarrhoea, constipation and stomach pain. It should be noted that you are more likely to experience these side effects if a high dose has been used.

If you do encounter any ill effect then I would always recommend that you discontinue use of the supplement.

How Do You Take The Supplement

Return, Refund And Guarantees

According to the listing on Amazon they state:

“If you are unhappy with your Womens Fat Burner, contact Nobi Nutrition directly. We will make things right!”

This does not actually mean a lot. How are they going to make things right? I would prefer to see a money-back guarantee so that if any issue occurs you can get your money back in full.

There are a few supplements that offer these types of guarantee and it shows me that they are confident in their own product.

The Pros And Cons

The pros and cons of Nobi Nutrition Premium Fat Burner for Women are as follows:

Pros

Energy-boosting benefits

Affordable

Mostly positive reviews

Cons

Very little proof that it works

Doubts over the legitimacy of the user reviews

Dubious guarantee

Customer Reviews And Complaints Amazon and Reddit

Customer reviews from Amazon are mostly positive with people submitting rather impressive sounding reviews:

“This product worked great for me. Please note that all bodies differ. Firstly, I have never had a surgical procedure unless giving birth to two boys is considered one. Secondly, I run three days a week ( 20 minutes, 2.5 miles). However, I’m a horrible dieter; I don’t eat much vegetables and I don’t drink the recommended amount of water. I take the recommended dosage of the Nobi fat burner every morning at the same time (8:00am). I’m a SAHM ( for now) so on the days that I don’t run, I’m super lazy. I hope my honest review help answers all questions. And also, I do not plan to take this product forever. Purchasing 2 or 3 times a year should help get you towards your goal because you never want to depend on it ( because sooner or later it won’t work the same) probably because the manufacturer exchanged primary ingredients for something cheaper or because the manufacturers really don’t care about your end goals so they exchanged primary ingredient with something worse and probably addictive. Good luck to you all!”

“This product is great! I’ve been using it for 2 weeks and have lost a total of 6 pounds. I workout/run 5 times a week and I’m definitely sweating up a storm while working out. It doesn’t upset my stomach and doesn’t give me the jitters like other weight loss pills. I take it first thing in the morning in an empty stomach, wait an hour to eat and go on with my day. I most definitely recommend.”

There are also the occasional 1-star reviews too, which are to be expected:

“This did absolutely nothing. I wouldn’t waste your money. I took this exactly how it was recommended plus exercise and eating well balanced and still nothing. I am skeptical of these types of pills but was desperate to try anything that would actually work. Disappointed again!”

“This may work for some, but not me. I did not change my diet as I already follow a low carb plan. I thought it would boost my metabolism and give me more energy. It didn’t. I also lost 0 lbs while taking this supplement.”

What is worrying is that when checking the legitimacy of these reviews using a website called Fakespot , only 62.3% of reviews were shown to be reliable.

That is quite a high percentage, and if almost 40% of these unreliable reviews were positive ones how can you trust that this fat burner even offers any benefit?

I take the recommended dosage of the Nobi fat burner every morning at the same time (8:00am). I’m a SAHM ( for now) so on the days that I don’t run, I’m super lazy. I hope my honest review help answers all questions. And also, I do not plan to take this product forever. Purchasing 2 or 3 times a year should help get you towards your goal because you never want to depend on it ( because sooner or later it won’t work the same) probably because the manufacturer exchanged primary ingredients for something cheaper or because the manufacturers really don’t care about your end goals so they exchanged primary ingredient with something worse and probably addictive. Good luck to you all!”

“This product is great! I’ve been using it for 2 weeks and have lost a total of 6 pounds. I workout/run 5 times a week and I’m definitely sweating up a storm while working out. It doesn’t upset my stomach and doesn’t give me the jitters like other weight loss pills. I take it first thing in the morning in an empty stomach, wait an hour to eat and go on with my day. I most definitely recommend.”

There are also the occasional 1-star reviews too, which are to be expected:

“This did absolutely nothing. I wouldn’t waste your money. I took this exactly how it was recommended plus exercise and eating well balanced and still nothing. I am skeptical of these types of pills but was desperate to try anything that would actually work. Disappointed again!”

“This may work for some, but not me. I did not change my diet as I already follow a low carb plan. I thought it would boost my metabolism and give me more energy. It didn’t. I also lost 0 lbs while taking this supplement.”

What is worrying is that when checking the legitimacy of these reviews using a website called Fakespot , only 62.3% of reviews were shown to be reliable.

That is quite a high percentage, and if almost 40% of these unreliable reviews were positive ones how can you trust that this fat burner even offers any benefit?

Nobi Women’s Fat Burner Review

Dear friend, Nobi women’s fat burner is becoming popular in 2020 so lets discover if there is any truth behind the promises. If you are a busy bee and want a quick takeaway of information I have put the 3 most common questions at the top.

Is It True Nobi Is The Best Fat Burner For Women?

NO. I like to be succinct

Nobi contains common ingredients found in other fat burners. Infact Nobi is basically a keto fat burner which contains BHB. Most keto lovers are now flocking to another keto supplement which contains the more potent variation of goBHB. For the latest top 10 rankings go to the health-info.org top 10 supplements.

How Quickly Can I Lose Weight Using Nobi Fat Burner?

Reported weight loss is 0 pounds to 3 pounds per month with Nobi women’s fat burner . Customers report losing 10 to 14 lbs per month with the no 1 fat burner in our top 10 list. Weight loss for the most popular keto supplement in the top 10 was 5 to 9 lbs per month but bear in mind keto is often used for energy and going to the gym as well. Find out about the latest rankings now.

Do Diet Pills Guarantee Weight Loss

It’s not legal to make a guarantee that you will lose weight. That said 2 premium diet pills in the top 10 list do offer a 60 day money back guarantee if you are not totally satisfied. It is a way of giving you total peace of mind so you have nothing to lose. We think it is a good step forward and look forward to all weight loss supplements being brave enough to follow this example.

What Is This Supplement

Nobi Nutrition Premium Fat Burner for Women is a fat burner made by Nobi Nutrition, marketed specifically towards women.

If you look more closely at the supplement you will realise that this gender-specific marketing is just to make a little extra money. There is nothing in its formula specifically for women, both sexes would experience similar effects when using this supplement.

Find the exact diet pills best suited for your lifestyle and body shape.

How Does It Work?

Hand with marker writing: How Does It Work?

It is believed that this fat burner will offer similar benefits to those experienced when undergoing the keto diet.

When you undergo the keto diet you will be eating a diet low in carbs, but is high in fat. This leaves your body in a state of ketosis, where your liver will start to manufacture ketone from stored fat. These ketones are then used for energy instead of the glucose you would usually get when eating carbohydrates.

What Are The Benefits?

25755376 – benefits

According to the Amazon listing, using the Nobi Nutrition Premium Fat Burner for Women will provide you with the following benefits:

An increase in metabolism

Energy boost

Weight loss support

Increased fat loss

Ingredients

Nobi Nutrition Premium Fat Burner for Women contains a proprietary blend of Calcium Beta Hydroxybutyrate, Sodium Beta Hydroxybutyrate and Magnesium Beta Hydroxybutyrate.

This is more commonly known as goBHB, which is a patented ketone body manufactured by Compound Solutions.

It is claimed that consuming this formula can help give you an energy boost, and is an alternative energy source to calorie-rich carbs.

Can It Help You Lose Weight?

I have my doubts that Nobi Nutrition Premium Fat Burner for Women offers any real weight loss benefit.

While the claims sound impressive, when you look at the ingredients used in more detail there is very little proof to back these claims up.

The keto diet itself has been shown to promote fat loss along with various other health benefits including an increase in HDL (good) cholesterol and decrease in LDL (bad) cholesterol, but research into BHB supplements is in its infancy. Not even the Compound Solutions (the manufacturer of goBHB) website have stated fat burning as one of its benefits.

Fat burning as a benefit is something that Nobi Nutrition has added to their Amazon listing without any proof. No doubt to entice people desperate to lose fat into purchasing it.

If you want to use this supplement then you should only use it as a way to boost your energy levels, perhaps while undergoing the keto diet. However, if you are following the diet correctly then this won’t really be of any benefit.

What Is The Science?

The only current scientific research available to prove any weight loss or fat loss claims was performed on rats.

In this study, it was shown that exogenous ketone supplementation could result in ketosis being experienced. Similar to the effects experienced while undergoing the keto diet.

Only time will tell if any human studies will be performed, and whether similar effects will be experienced.

Side Effects

Although the main ingredient (goBHB) is considered relatively safe. There are those who have encountered side effects from its use.

Potential side effects that you may encounter include stomach upset, diarrhoea, constipation and stomach pain. It should be noted that you are more likely to experience these side effects if a high dose has been used.

If you do encounter any ill effect then I would always recommend that you discontinue use of the supplement.

How Do You Take The Supplement

For best results, it is recommended that you take 2 capsules daily. These should be consumed 1-2 hours before a meal.

You should never take more than the recommended dosage.

Cost And Where To Buy?

Nobi Nutrition Premium Fat Burner for Women is available to buy online via Amazon. It is currently listed for $24.95 for a 30 serving bottle.

To save 10% on your order you could subscribe to get a bottle delivered to you every month. This will set you back $22.46.

Return, Refund And Guarantees

According to the listing on Amazon they state:

“If you are unhappy with your Womens Fat Burner, contact Nobi Nutrition directly. We will make things right!”

This does not actually mean a lot. How are they going to make things right? I would prefer to see a money-back guarantee so that if any issue occurs you can get your money back in full.

There are a few supplements that offer these types of guarantee and it shows me that they are confident in their own product.

The Pros And Cons

The pros and cons of Nobi Nutrition Premium Fat Burner for Women are as follows:

Pros

Energy-boosting benefits

Affordable

Mostly positive reviews

Cons

Very little proof that it works

Doubts over the legitimacy of the user reviews

Dubious guarantee

Customer Reviews And Complaints Amazon and Reddit

Customer reviews from Amazon are mostly positive with people submitting rather impressive sounding reviews:

“This product worked great for me. Please note that all bodies differ. Firstly, I have never had a surgical procedure unless giving birth to two boys is considered one. Secondly, I run three days a week ( 20 minutes, 2.5 miles). However, I’m a horrible dieter; I don’t eat much vegetables and I don’t drink the recommended amount of water.

100 Things about your Mom.

Hi Chi. I’m back! All better and cured. I’m feeling like my old self again, energy and everything back. Like my doctor said today: if it’s working, don’t change it. That being said, let’s do something fun! I saw this weird list of questions and said: Game on!

1: What random stranger has had the biggest impact on your life? A Dad at a beach playing with his son. He made us made the decision to start a family.

2: What achievement are you proud of but most people would consider silly or weird? I refuse to “act my age”.

3: What period in history had the best fashion? The 50’s!

4: What silly or funny thing makes you afraid or creeps you out? Clowns.

5: How quickly do you jump to conclusions about people? I try not to, but the reality is that I get “vibes” from people, instantly. I’m never wrong, as much opportunities I give.

6: How would the world change if super heroes and super villains actually existed? I think heroes and villains DO exist.

7: What would be your strategy for surviving an apocalyptic epidemic? I already hoard medicine, movies and booze.

8: What is the most important change that should be made to your country’s education system? Equality, Empathy, Values and Gender Perspective are things that need to be taught. I also believe that a University Diploma should be mandatory. No school? Jail.

9: What is something you think you will regret in the future not starting now and what is something you already regret not starting sooner? I regret not becoming a Mom sooner. I’ll regret it most in the future.

10: What part of your culture are you most and least proud of?

Proud of our strength of character. Least proud of living in a status quo.

11: What's the worst and best thing about being female? Best thing is having a baby, carrying it inside your body. That experience is wonderful. The worst is definitively the inequality, how people treat you different in many ways and what they expect on how you “should behave”. I also believe there are many double standards when it comes to us.

12: If you could put your brain in a robot and live indefinitely, would you? Not for a gazillion dollars.

13: If you could replace the handshake as a greeting, what interesting new greeting would you replace it with? High fives are awesome.

14: Who’s the worst guest you’ve had in your house and what did they do? I’m glad to report that I never let people that I don’t truly trust or know at my house.

15: When does time pass fastest for you and when does it pass the slowest? Fastest: when I have a lot of work and a close deadline. Slowest: when I had to come up with advertising campaigns. I HATED starting on a presentation with all the passion in the world until I had an idea that worked. Then, it just was a breeze. Until that jackpot happens, time is torture.

16: What always sounds like a good idea at the time but rarely is? Telling someone the truth. Sometimes it just turns out that they can’t handle or understand it. Another great one? Getting drunk and knowing that no one is going to take care of the baby next morning. Huge mistake.

17: Are humans fundamentally different than animals? If so, what makes us different? We’re very much alike, I realized it after I gave birth. I just think we have the burden of emotions and logic to deal with, that’s all. I envy them: I’d love to function just on instincts!

18: What pictures or paintings have had a big impact on you? Guernica inspired me to paint. The Marilyn Diptych inspired me to design. At the Moulin Rouge is one of my favorites, just because.

19: What movie or book character are you most similar to? That’s a tough one. I identify a lot (with absolutely no clue of why) with Mia Wallace’s lust for life and her disregard for rules; Marla Singer’s I don’t care attitude and confusion. I’m also a mix of Santino and Michael Corleone when I’m either strategizing or just extremely angry.

20: You can broadcast one sentence to every TV channel and radio in the world and have it translated to each country’s language. What sentence do you say? “What doesn’t offend you might offend someone else. Calm down and let people do and say what they want.”

21: What fact are you really surprised that more people don't know about? That research does not mean that you trust instantly whatever you find online. Reliable sources exist for a reason.

22: What are you completely over and done with? Putting the well-being of others before mine.

23: What memory do you just keep going back to?

It depends on the day.

24: What’s the most immature thing someone can do? I believe that making a scene in public is just sign that you are emotionally and socially immature. From treating strangers badly for a stupid reason to arguing with your significant other in front of anybody is just a sign that you’re the problem.

25: What are you most passionate about and what do you wish you were more passionate about? Reading and writing.

26: What’s the best comeback you’ve ever heard?

“I’m growing a human inside me, what’s your excuse?” I said that. :P

27: Who haven’t you seen or talked to in a long time and hope they are doing okay? With Facebook that stopped happening years ago. I actually miss that feeling of wondering how my friends are. Although, there is one friend from college that disappeared. I sometimes wonder what happened.

28: Where is the last place you would ever go? If by last this means “and then you can die”, Tibet. I can’t fathom thinking about a place in this world not worthy about visiting.

29: What’s something that you’ve never been able to do well? Math and control myself when I am beyond furious.

30: Who is the humblest person you know?

Any person who will do something for free just to help another human being.

31: What is the silliest reason someone you've known has completely lost it? The stuff people write online.

32: What is quite possibly the most annoying thing ever? People who judge others on based on what they wear, own, drive or live in. I also am starting to despise people who post every single goddamn second on social media. My social media algebra is simple: entertain, yes; Report, no.

33: What do you wish people would stop asking you? Can I have free tickets?

34: What is the most unusual fear you have? Frogs and Roller Coasters.

35: What is your favorite TV show? Right now it’s Better Call Saul.

36: What’s the most ridiculous argument you’ve had? If it’s ridiculous, I’m totally ignoring the idea of talking about it. Silence is golden.

37: What’s the biggest lesson life has taught you? My happiness is way more important than anything else in the world.

38: What is increasingly becoming socially acceptable? Telling others how to act, talk, behave, think, write... I remember the days when people judged you in silence or behind closed doors. Thanks a lot, internet.

39: What’s the weirdest tradition your family has? It’s not a tradition per se, we just talk really loud when we’re together, and all at the same time.

40: If you could choose anyone living or dead, who would you choose to lead our country? It would be a mix of Obama, Lady Gaga, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ed Snowden.

41: What app on your phone do you wish you used more? Tabata.

42: Who was the most power mad person you’ve met? Insert advertising client name here.

43: What world famous monument do you have no interest in visiting? The Tower of Pisa. Next.

44: What is something that you think people are only pretending to like or are deluding themselves into liking? Wine.

45: What joke went way too far? Anything that relates to a pregnancy announcement.

46: What are some of the telltale signs that a guy is creepy? If a man tries to control how I talk, behave, dress, manage a situation or just even decides something for me. If he thinks I need his approval for anything.

47: What is your very first memory? Walking around the beach.

48: What’s the most embarrassing thing you’ve said or done around someone you dated? It’s not embarrassing but it did catch me off guard: I made a point in my life to never say “I love you” to a man first until I was sure that it was going to mean something. One day, when I was starting to date your Dad, I just blurted it out. He laughed and said “You said it first!”

49: Who is your favorite actor or actress? Right now it’s Bryan Cranston.

50: What doesn’t exist but you desperately want / need it? A pill that eliminates sadness or anger instantly.

51: What are you most grateful for? My child.

52: If you could hear every time someone said something good about you or something negative about you, which would you choose? Neither. Not interested.

53: What do you wish you could re-live? Just for fun, my twenties. Had the best time.

54: What’s something that you recommend everyone trying at least once? Massages.

55: Do you prefer being warmed when you’re too cold or being cooled when you’re too hot? Warmed.

56: What sentence can you say that makes total sense now but would seem insane 20 years ago? “Do it, don’t wait.”

57: How decisive or indecisive are you? Extremely decisive. I’d rather go out in flames, always.

58: What’s something from your childhood that used to be common but now is pretty rare? I used to play outside unsupervised and came back home when I was supposed to. I also drove my grandpa’s car lots of times while sitting in his lap. Now he would get thrown in jail, I guess.

59: If you were an action figure, what accessories would you be sold with? A bottle of Vodka, books, beach items and lipstick.

60: What weird smell do you really enjoy? Gasoline and the streets of New York City.

61: What do you like that is traditionally considered masculine? Boxing, hard liquors, swearing, dark sense of humor.

62: What’s something you learned recently that you really should have already known? Expectations are resentments in the making.

63: What’s a simple mistake you made that had dramatic consequences? I should have been honest with someone without worrying about what could happen next.

64: What’s the best piece of advice someone has given you? You’re not responsible for how other people feel, it’s their problem to handle.

65: What do you think people automatically wrongly assume about you when they look at you? That I’m delicate, maybe?

66: Looking back on your life, what have you done that has given you the most satisfaction? Besides from being a Mom, having a successful company.

67: If everything was quantified, what life stats would like to see for yourself? The happy vs sad moments.

68: What do you really wish you knew when you were younger? That I am way more stronger than I thought.

69: When was the last time you laughed so hard you cried? I think it was watching Dave Chapelle or Joe Rogan on Netflix.

70: What do you wish you had more time for? Being with my child when she grows older. I hope to be alive when she gets married or has a kid.

71: When was the last time you had a gut feeling about something that turned out to be correct? How about a time your gut feeling was wrong? My gut feelings are 99% on point. Sometimes it takes a second, sometimes years. I always end up being right.

72: What’s your curiosity killed the cat story? Your Dad. I ended up married and having you!

73: What areas in your life do you have high hopes for and what are those high hopes? I hope that our child decides to run our company and makes it even more successful.

74: Who was the most spoiled person you personally have met? Met a few. No comment.

75: What makes you feel old? When people don’t know a certain band or piece of music.

76: What’s your favorite non-drug / non-alcohol high? Traveling.

77: What’s the worst thing you’ve heard one person say to another person? It’s a tie between, “Sorry, she doesn’t know what she’s talking about.” and “Shut up and listen”.

79: What gets progressively weirder the more you think about it? Society in general.

80: What have you gotten too old to put up with? Being obligated to do something.

81: What event would you like to know the whole and complete truth about? JFK’s death. I also would love to read Mueller’s unredacted report.

82: What have you recently become obsessed with? Home delivery. Hi Jeff Bezos, I paid for your electricity this month.

83: What’s the biggest waste of money you’ve seen? Anything related to spending a lot on cars or jewelry. I’d rather travel, sorry.

84: What’s surprising about you? Most people don’t know that I can’t stand chick films.

85: When you were a kid what silly thing were you deathly afraid of? Dracula. Frank Langella, you made my childhood miserable for months.

86: Besides a raise or more vacation time, what’s the best perk a company can offer employees? Time to relax and focus. In Advertising, we’re expected to produce an insane amount of creative pieces in little time. Creativity and pressure don’t go well. Also, a short amount of time during the month to do the things we can’t during the weekend.

87: Where do you like going for walks? Lower East Side or Montmartre.

88: If you found out you would inexplicably fall down dead in one year, what would you change about your life? I would travel non stop so that I could drop dead somewhere cool.

89: What movie have you seen more than seven times? It might be a tie between Pulp Fiction and the Godfather Series.

91: What’s the best thing you could tell someone to cheer them up when they are feeling down? My grandmother used to say “Someday, when you look back at a bad moment in your life, you’re gonna laugh about it”. Wherever she is, I know she looks down and reminds me in my dreams from time to time.

94: If you could know one truth about yourself, history, the world, or even the universe, what truth would you want to know? Is someone out there?

95: What’s your favorite souvenir that you have? Our cheesy “Oia” sign. It reminds me of the best honeymoon in the world.

96: What would you do if someone left a duffle bag filled with $2,000,000 on your back porch? Buy a small apartment in NYC, buy another near the beach in Rincón. Leave the rest for Mía.

97: If everything in your house had to be one color what color would you choose? Black.

98: What would your warning label say if every person was required to have one? Don’t get her angry. You wouldn’t like her when she’s angry.

99: What weird childhood fear do you still kind of hold on to? Big waves.

100: What’s the most polarizing question you could ask your group of friends? That’s the funny thing about us. There is not one polarizing thing we could ask each other. We talk and share EVERYTHING in our lives. The good, the bad, the disgusting, the inappropriate. Even the things we are ashamed to admit or share. That’s true friendship.

L’Officiel Hommes April 2017; Chanyeol’s interview (Part 1)

L’Officiel Hommes: EXO has since outgrown their previously cute and naive personas, to adopt the current "High Profile" celebrity status that we know of today. What are your personal sentiments about holding such a title? Chanyeol: I believe everyone has had that particular dream about being able to stand proudly above all the legacies that they have built for themselves. However, personally i feel that albeit having yet acquire that level of prestige as a group, i’m able to find solace and confidence beneath our ability to put up an impressive stage performance that everyone will enjoy. Having said so, there’s also an underlying sense of unease along with it as well. Hence in order to prolong and maintain our current statuses, no actually, a better way to put this would be to call this the driving force towards our desire to constantly show you the improved and better sides of us, which explains the need for us to find ways of improving and developing ourselves. Another way to go about it would also be to spend whatever personal free time I have fruitfully, by engaging in activities that would not only be solely for the sake of enjoyment, but also be able to aid the process of further developing myself as a person. L’Officiel Hommes: What type of role do you think you play in EXO? Aside from the usual roles that you associate yourself with during your introductions, or the Chanyeol that the fans identify with. Instead, talk about what you personally think your role is inside of EXO. Chanyeol: An interesting person. To put it nicely, i’m the mood maker/ happy pill of the group; acting as my fellow members’ source of energy. Because i want the members to thoroughly enjoy the times we share together. Moreover, we all started off aspiring for the same goals and dreams, even going as far as being fated to be debuting in the same group is something i really feel should be deeply cherished. Which is why i’m constantly cracking jokes with my members, as this is also one of the ways i feel i’m secretly able help the leader manage the group better behind the scenes. An advantage i have would be both my age and training period, as i’m mainly in the middle when it comes to these aspects, hence it makes the task of getting along with my fellow members a lot easier. L’Officiel Hommes: You’ve recently displayed your television personality to us. How has the overall experience with regards to acting been for you so far? Chanyeol: Prior to embarking on the television series "Missing Nine", i have had previous exposure, having previously given the opportunity to star in various online drama series and even a Chinese movie production. Having said that, i still received the support from my fellow casts members. I felt really comfortable with the role assigned to me, hence i was hoping for a positive reaction (from the viewers). To conclude it simply, i find acting very interesting. Coming from a background where when it came to the aspect of acting, i didn’t have exceptional skills per say, neither had i previously undergo any vigorous trainings for acting, i made sure to always clarify my doubts with the director whenever possible, even going down to the nitty gritty details of my fellow senior’s expressions and the way they orchestrated their dialogues. I’m gradually realizing the charms of the acting industry as i’m exploring it. L’Officiel Hommes: Who is your favorite actor then? Also, what would be your "Life" movie? Chanyeol: My favorite actor would have to be Jack Nicholson. I’ve pretty much watched almost every single one of his movies. In the movie "One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest" where he portrayed the character Randle Patrick McMurphy, Melvin Udall in "As Good As It Gets", Warren R. Schmidt in the movie "About Schmidt". He has greatly displayed his outstanding ability to portray each and every single one of his roles distinctively. Although my favorite actor is the former, my favorite movie is one that he unfortunately did not star in, it’s "School Of Rock". I would go as far to say that this movie bears a great influence my decision towards my current life path. I started learning more about music back in my high school days, but back then, it was purely out of interest. But during my 6th year, i watched the aforementioned movie, which became the decisive factor towards my choice in pursuing music as a career. The movie’s main protagonist, Jack Black, is seen having the time of his life whilst balancing his career as both a musician and actor. Upon watching this movie during my younger days, it fostered the dream of my desire to become a singer in the future. L’Officiel Hommes: Amidst starring in movies, participating in variety shows, being a singer, composer and performer on stage, what sort of activities do you often engage in during your period of short breaks in between? Do you continue participating in activities or do you just completely lay off everything temporarily to take a good rest? Chanyeol: To me, composing serves as both a form of entertainment as well as relaxation. I would describe it as my ideal form of healing time. I particularly enjoy composing in hotels when i’m overseas. When i have some extra time off in the dorms, i’d usually spend them by playing computer games with Baekhyun. I would always have a particular activity that i’ll be engaged in at any given span of time. By that i mean that i would devote my time and effort to being able to really grasp, hold and master the task at hand or until i reach the standard of my personal expectations. Recently, snowboarding has become one of my favorite forms of past time. I remember being exposed to snowboarding back when i was a toddler, but i was never truly able to experience snowboarding during the winter back then. I’ve even been on a midnight snowboarding escapade before. In fact, this past February, i was at one of Hokkaido’s skiing resorts (Kiroro). Not long ago i had the same passion for both pool and bowling. L’Officiel Hommes: Well then, amongst all of them (his hobbies), which one still holds a special place in your heart? Chanyeol: I’d still have to give this to composing. I’ve always harbored a strong, underlying passion for lyrical composition. I’m constantly engaged in a cycle of experimenting with various forms of music, through the process of success and failures. Through this repetitive process, i think i’ve developed and found my own personal style of music. Although i’m always striving to compose something great, as of now, even if it falls short of that, i’m cool with it. I enjoy the process of learning and exploring whilst i’m self-composing. I find the process of venturing into various genres of music that i’m previously not familiar with, thoroughly refreshing. I find the conversations i have with the new people i meet extremely precious. Hence, i’m always carrying a small notebook (laptop) around, so that i’m able to jot down any inspirations that i may have along the day, which explains why it’s always an essential item i always carry in my backpack. Even with a short period of 10-20 minutes of spare time, i’m always looking to brainstorm about new lyrics. L’Officiel Hommes: Amongst all of EXO activities, which, in your opinion, left the deepest impression on you? Chanyeol: I still vividly remember our very first debut showcase back in 2012. That was my first time experiencing the true feeling of nervousness. History was our very first song, and i remember we had our backs facing the stage in preparation, as we heard the loud screams of many. The loud screams coming from a group of 3000 people, really overwhelmed me with the feeling of nervousness from head to toe. After the performance, i asked the members about how they felt and they all felt the same. That experience was truly memorable, and has since been engraved in my memory.

GET TO KNOW LUKAS:

1. Where do you prefer to read? On the sofa, in bed, at a table, on the porch, in a cafe, or somewhere else? Where and why?

I can read just about wherever so long as I’m comfortable, and most likely isolated. I tend to focus better when I’m not pried upon or being distracted, so when it’s most quiet is when I find the inspiration to delve into novelties.

2. What’s your food weakness? What food can you never turn down?

My relationship with food is an interesting one. If the food is made by my mother, I certainly can’t turn anything down. However, I have a liking toward grilled cheese with mayo and smoke paprika, again a specialty made by my mother.

3. Do you prefer movies or TV shows? Why? And what are your favorites?

I’m not too fond of either, however tv shows like Law and Order and Suits intrigue me if it so happens to be on at the given time. I’m finicky with shows, however as far as movies go, action such as Mission Impossible and Casino Royale are favourites of mine.

4. What sort of toys did you play with as a child?

I never really had toys around growing up, although the only “toy” I remember with clarity is the jump rope my father would use. It breeds eternal misery every time I happen to think about it too much.

5. Do you eat breakfast? What’s a typical breakfast look like for you?

Usually a normal morning includes two large cups of coffee, cream, sugar and a dash of vanilla. If I’m famished I like to make a spinach and goat cheese omelette, and if I’m truly rushed, a bowl of any cereal I can find is good enough for me. Breakfast isn’t necessarily my favourite meal.

6. Do you like going to museums? If so, what type of museums do you like to go to? Art, science, historical; interactive, quiet, a mix?

I love going to museums. Art is the most exquisite form of imitation and sometimes staring at a piece of work for so long makes impressions on you you’d never expected to think of until it’s all you can see. 

7. Have you ever had an imaginary friend? If so, tell us about them.

I didn’t have an imaginary friend, per say, but I do have an alter ego I liked to run away with for a little while. I don’t have a name for him, but it’s usual that he comes out most when I’m provoked during intercourse or am unwilling to go much further. He’s my go-between. My confidence build up when I have none to spare.

8. Do you know how to use chopsticks?

Sushi is not what I prefer to eat, but I’ve had the pleasure of using chopstick before. However, my skills in that department are very slim.

9. What do you do when you can’t sleep?

I never sleep, during the night anyway. But if I’m unable to sleep, I tend to enjoy cooking -- not for my own enjoyment, but as a stress reliever --, a glass of wine usually helps, and if I’m exhausted but am having trouble falling asleep, I’ll take half a sleeping pill.

10. Did you have a good childhood? What are fond memories you have of it? What’s a bad memory?

Some moments were great, other moments were decent, and the others were pretty much lackluster, to say the least. All in all, my childhood was fine. But it was my past, and to me that’s all it’ll ever be.

11. What is your relationship with your parents? What’s a good and bad memory with them? Who is your favorite?

My mother is my best friend. Most times she gets too overwhelming, but she’s always been here and she’s my solid rock. My sperm donor is just that -- that’s all he’s ever going to be to me.

12. Do you have any siblings? What’re their names? What is your relationship with them? Has your relationship changed since you were kids?

I have one beautiful hermanita. Her name is Grace and we’ve always been tight-lipped to each other. Since I’m the older brother I kind of took on the protective role, even though we’re only eighteen months apart. I’m not sure if during my sperm donor’s escapades he has any more innocent children that came from that, but for now it’s just me and Grace.

13. Did you have pets as a child? Do you have pets as an adult? Do you like animals?

I don’t think I ever did. I’d love to have animals one day. I’ve always thought about what it’d be like to have a small dog that loves you unconditionally. It’s always a thought, but who knows if I’ll ever go through with the idea.

14. What’s your full name? Why was that chosen? Does it mean anything?

Lukas Julio Petrona. Lukas comes from my maternal grandfather’s middle name from Brasil, and Julio is just a name my parents both liked and ended up using it. I don’t care what you call me. Lukas, Luke, Luka, Lu, any variation is fine.

15. Do you like children? Do children like you? Do you have or want any children?

This is a question that is still currently pending for me. I do love children. Their blank canvas and perspective on the world around them with their purity is just captivating. There’s nothing like holding a peace of heaven in your hands and believing anything could be as perfect as that. As for having my own one day, it’s possible. But not a priority. 

16. What’s your sexuality? What do you find attractive — physically and mentally? What do you like/need in a relationship?

I don’t pull toward any labels. If I find a person attractive, they’re attractive. I love a beautiful mind, and physicality is just a bonus. In the past I have been forced to like more males, however I tend to find women incredibly gorgeous. No matter what, all I need in a relationship is patience. Lots and lots of patience. I’m a lot to swallow at once, so taking individual bites is necessary.

17. Who/What would you sacrifice everything for?

My mother and sister, of course.

18. Who is the most important person in your life and why? What would you do for that person? Would you ever give them up?

The above answer. They’re my life raft every time I so need them. There’s nothing in this world I’d trade for them. My wish is to give them the best possible life, no matter what I have to do. Because they deserve it, every single bit of it.

19. What type of discipline were you subjected to at home? Strict? Lenient? Other?

It depends on which home, really. My mother was never one to be strict on either one of us. My sperm donor on the other hand was quite the opposite. He didn’t care for out well being, nor did he seem to show us any love at all. 

20. What were you like at school? Did you enjoy it? Did you finish? What subjects did you enjoy? Which did you hate?

I was average. I loved learning English, it was a chance for me to become inherently coherent in the main language I knew I would have to be expected to know. I finished with a degree from UA and that was easily the best time of my entire life. I’m using it to become an investor and hopefully mold into other sister companies, but for now it’s pretty solid.
