[hwangskz]

i dont know many people (read : only 2) here so like.. maybe @chenlegendinthehouse ?? it's ok if u dont wanna do this jsbsbsb

[kpopshitposter]

Are these actual people or characters?

ayo ayo ayo

The people on my blog are kpop/cpop/vpop idols, so they’re actual people who just be looking and acting like fictional characters bc they’re so beautiful it doesn’t feel real

Since it really be seeming like you’re in the wrong part of town I thought I’d compile a lil playlist for you… it’s a #-Z of Korean artists I personally listen to on the regular. Complete with song recs! I had a lot of fun putting it together so even if you only bother to listen to one song on it I hope you enjoy it!!

uhhhhhhh it’s a lot (this list should explain why it took me so long to reply to your ask i’m so sorry I hope this is helpful)

Casual disclaimer that if you feel like theres any problematic people mentioned please be aware that i dont pay attention to scandals so this is just about the songs

Also I guess people should feel free to add their faves to the list if they wanna recommend it and I haven’t included them

Alsox2 if any links are wrong im sorry i love u

Feel free to ask me to order them by genre, male/female, or mood or anything like that too if you’d like!! K-pop in general is a really fun and comforting music genre and you should totally give it a chance

6/? 

all taemin can rlly hope for is onew’s mercy

warnings: domestic abuse, drinking, trauma, violence

this au has been postponed (here’s why)

Taemin pours the last of the vodka down his throat as he slides down the curved wall of a drainage tunnel. His eyes burn from crying, his throat burns from the alcohol, and his lungs burn from running so far. He has no idea how long it’s been since he left Minho in the forest, or how long it’s been since he swiped a couple bottles from that liquor store. All he understands is that his last bottle of bitter, disgusting alcohol is empty, and that he’s cradling it in a disgusting sewer entrance in the middle of the night like some pathetic, lonely drunkard.

“Just like dad...” he mumbles to himself, recalling the countless times he and his siblings traversed the city looking for their father, eventually peeling him off of some dingy sewer wall, dragging him home to their mother who would cater to that drunk asshole, regardless of how many times he woke up the next day just to beat the shit out of her.

He clenches his jaw and digs his fingernails into his palms, but the memories just keep coming.

That asshole, that bastard, that shitty excuse for a father did nothing but fuck up their lives, only drifting in and out of his familial role whenever it benefited him. His mother was barely a parent, but who could blame her? She’d been with his father for decades, enduring the endless cycle of pain as passively as possible, never giving up hope that he would someday abandon his thievery and violence for the sake of his family. This left Taemin to care for his neglected and abused siblings, to provide for their needs, doing everything he could to make them happy until he couldn’t do anything ever again.

“Fuck,” Taemin hisses, pounding the cold cement of the tunnel wall to keep himself from crying. Apparently, he’s just going to keep picturing that goddamn day until he dies, despite how utterly exhausted he is of remembering it.

It. That day. Them.

Taemin returned from school, entering through the back door like usual, depositing his backpack on the kitchen counter. He called for his siblings, wondering if they had started their homework, asking if they had eaten, but there was no response. He sighed. He was actually annoyed with them before he-

“Shit,” he sobs, warm tears sliding down his face.

He dragged his feet into the living room, ready to scold them for not answering, until he saw it. That horrible fucking scene. His little sisters slumped on the couch, blood staining their school uniforms. Bullet holes. Empty eyes. Some kid’s show theme song playing on the TV, despite everything.

Taemin rolls to his side, vomiting and heaving, unable to catch his breath as he continues to sob.

He stood there. Frozen. His eyes running over the gory scene over and over again, bile rising in his throat. He inhaled once, casting his gaze aside, hoping to look at something, anything, besides his murdered family members, but instead, he found his mother’s body. Lying near the front door. Her mouth gaping open. His father’s shotgun by her side. Blood seeping into the floorboards.

Taemin shouted and screamed, terrified to get any closer to the bodies that used to belong to people he loved so much. He pulled at his hair and fell to the floor, completely consumed by heartbreak and confusion. Miraculously, he heard a car door slam shut and voices chattering among his cries.

His mind went blank. He surged forward, scooping up the discarded shotgun, charging out the front door. He didn’t care who was waiting outside, who was responsible for this, as long as they would soon be dead by his hand.

Four men stood in his front lawn. Two leaned against a sleek black car, talking and smoking. Another was on the phone, gesturing wildly. The last was seated on the front porch step, cleaning a pistol.

Taemin blinked once before shooting the man on the step, feeling nothing as his brains splattered on the lawn. The other men jumped to action; the two by the car running to the trunk, presumably for weapons, and the third scrambling to put his phone away. Taemin fires the gun three more times, killing the men efficiently, staring blankly at their lifeless forms.

The sound of sirens disrupted his cold, internal silence, jolting him back into reality. His family was dead. He just murdered four men. The police were coming. He needed to run.

So, Taemin ran.

He ran and ran, confused and terrified, until he wound up in the corner of some dingy bar, desperately attempting to dull his memories of all that blood, a well-dressed stranger sliding onto the barstool beside him.

“Whatcha thinking about?”

Taemin cracks his eyes open, and finds Jonghyun hovering above him, smiling sadly.

“The day we first met,” he croaks, wincing at the roughness in his throat. Jonghyun sighs and seats himself next to Taemin’s crumpled form, adjusting the other so his head is resting in his lap.

“I’m sorry...” he whispers, but Taemin doesn’t reply. They’re both well aware that nothing they say or do now can make a difference. After revealing to Minho that he’s too weak to handle a few bodies, all he can really hope for is Onew’s mercy. Why would one of the most infamous, wealthy gangsters in the region waste his time on some kid who couldn’t even shoot a man without having a panic attack?

Jonghyun runs his fingers through Taemin’s hair.

“Onew’s going to fucking kill me,” he laughs humorlessly. Jonghyun remains silent, and although Taemin knows that this is just the nature of gang life, and of his agreement with Onew, he can’t ignore the sinking feeling in his stomach.

Onew was amazed by the news of some random kid shooting down notoriously ruthless members of their rival gang, and sent Jonghyun to recruit him. Jonghyun bought Taemin drink after drink as he explained that the men killed his family in order to persuade his father to return some enormous amount of money he stole from their gang. Taemin agreed to meet with Onew, partially because he was far too wasted to make any rational decisions and partially because he couldn’t envision much of a brighter future for himself, and Onew was all too eager to take him into the family, keeping his origins a secret from the others to avoid jealousy and suspicion, betting on his unwavering loyalty, marksmanship, and personal vendetta against their rivals.

The stolen money and his father were never found, but Onew kept Taemin far too busy to be concerned with his whereabouts. Police had begun infiltrating their ranks, as well as outsider informants and thieves, so they couldn’t afford to focus on their biggest rivals either. Taemin was supposed to alleviate some of their worries, intimidating and killing the various infiltrators once he was fully trained, but now that he’s proven himself to be more of a liability than anything, he’s done for.

“Maybe we should go home,” Jonghyun says, shifting under Taemin.

“Why? I’m gonna die either way, so I might as well just drink myself to death, surrounded by this lovely ambiance,” he snorts, waving the empty bottle around and breathing in the subtle sewage stench.

“Taeminnie...” Jonghyun sighs, hoists Taemin into a seated position, and casts a stern look into his puffy eyes, “We’re going to figure this out. Onew won’t just throw you away at the first sign of- of weakness, or lack of bloodlust, or whatever. He won’t. I won’t let him-”

“But, Minho probably told-”

“I won’t let him.” Jonghyun heaves himself off the ground, staring down at Taemin resolutely. He offers a hand, gripping Taemin’s tightly as the ground lurches beneath his feet, fear and vodka sloshing in his stomach.

He would love to believe that Jonghyun was right, that he had some sort of sway over his cold-blooded brother, he really would, but all he can think of is severed limbs and blood-soaked flooring, wondering if Minho will be the one to decapitate his lifeless corpse.
