"hey yeah we didn't feel like doing long questlines anymore :) sorry!" feels like an ao3 author's note who stops posting and leaves their fics unfinished on chapter 25/27 because they moved fandoms, except this is a (supposedly) professional company getting paid to produce a product people are paying for who are just leaving not just the event questline but like half a dozen proper questlines in general abandoned and unfinished in their game on what is essentially a whim.
Finishing a project is a skill that is quite literally expected of university students, let alone working adults, and offering good experiences to your players means giving them satisfactory endings to quests after stringing them along for years.
Any goddamn professional who goes "hey these long questlines aren't working, lets shift to a more stand-alone shorter style of quest development" should still have the goddamn decency to finish the ongoing quests instead of abandoning them entirely. It's messy and immature not to.
"oooo but [insert name] left the company!! so we don't know how to finish it :(" the only thing less professional than just throwing shit out unfinished is to have entire parts of your process rely on a single person with no way to pick it back up if that person gets sick/quits/gets fired. do fucking better.
#im not even doing the halloween quests (linda is still in the castle) but.#the sheer amount of times i ask manda about a foreshadowing quest thing#or when a certain lore thing will return#and get told that she wish she knew bc the rest of it was never put in the fucking game#i can take the glitches i can take the bugs but a game that is being updated weekly has#No fucking excuse for just up and leave-ing questlines the way sse does#would it kill you to finish One (1) story. for the love of aideen.#calamity be upon ye#sso#star stable

important q: what does oetsu think of zangetsu(s)? blade wise?
OOOOOOOK, so until TWBY Zangetsu remained a single sword but this couldn't continue any further because in order for Nimaya to be able to reforge broken ZanpakutĹ Ichigo finally needed himself to pick an Asauchi, then tidy up things in his soul-scape thus he butt-kicked him to Ishin, w/o telling him what's the big deal, just waiting for that to happen naturally, and if not then BYE BYE bc he's a damn goblin FYI. I strongly spin spoon in my HC kettle that while he forges he concurrently takes a glimpse into one's soul ( making him able to see HOW the spirit of wielder looks like, by every means he felt there's also someone else 'hiding, waiting', then he saw an old man all Yhwach style-like while Ichi's Asauchi looked completely different and stood stupefied for a fraction: oh ... I see ... now ... It's funny that later Ĺetsu became a witness to internal conflict, realizing that giving ground to one and boxing the other was was never meant to be solution so ... each of them needed their own dwelling space / territories without threat of clashing. And what idea could work better than making Zangetsu a dual blade? Based on Ichigo's choice to follow Shinigami's path ... Shiro only grew stronger, chains would not hold him back anymore, if his confrontation with the real 'suppressor' did not work no change would happen or one would had to step aside. Ok, I cannot fully say 'suppressor' because - yeah, while he was... BACK then he was dominating in that chapter of his life and just followed the rules, and again I cannot say one would have to 'leave' because neither of them actually could; both are different yet creating a trinity of sort -> ONE WHOLE.
Aye let's unbuckle our seatbelts as we hit the finish of our (rambling)track. - As for his personal reflection about the blade, Ĺetsu, finds Zangetsu(s) interesting, their potential promising and uniqueness of origins doubtless. He thinks each should be handled with delicate respect when approached.
- The shape. Was it a random design choice? Well, yes, and no. Remember how he first crushed the remnants of Ichigo's and Renji's blade? By then he sure had a chance to compose a clear visualization of their original looks, but remodeling broken blade directly at Houou estate meant such alteration would equal rebirth; restyling the majority of the form as we could see (the handle, middle space, mini-Zan, even color of the steel). Sure he drew from the original source of outline while creating design brandly new. Because his Shinigami/Hollow powers merged, and respecting the fact that most Ichigo's releases are Hollow-like in nature the larger blade (Shiro) represents not only the path chosen but where his true strength lies at that MOMENT. Everything is moment-bound and ZanpakutĹs are no exception. The old man had to step aside, he was granted his own space while compromised that it was time for Shiro to steal the spotlight. However ( there's always that 'however', innit? lol ) a meticulous master of his craft holds awareness of endangering predisposition coming hand in hand with hybridous duality ( it is different than with other dual-blade wielders like KyĹraku who deals solely with his Shinigami-powers ) Ichi-chan here has to keep the upper hand, maintain the 'balance' and not overweight one party too much otherwise internal disunion could occur. Like with Visored (if they don't manage their inner Hollow from breaking free it would be catastrophic not just for the bearer).
#{ About designing : The idea he enters sort of trance while working & peeking into someones soul is quite tempting and I def. shall fiddle#with it in the future.}#{ OMG HII ELIII <3 I rambled a bit around the sauce but have sumn about yo boi. }#{ and just like in life of ppl comes certain 'episode' where one either evolves or degrades same is with Shinigamis and their Zanpakutos.#Our strawberry-boy reached the phase that can be compared to growing from one's clothes; WUEEE~. }#{ PS: I also think Shiro was salty this whole time Ichigo communicated with OMZ without accepting him /both of them instead. }#{ There's also tons of nuances like how Oetsu knew things he knew but that all is Reio-centric and then why Ichigo gets back only 1 sword#etc. but these are stories for other time. }#ichigokurosaki#headcanons ;#tbt.#Zangetsu tag.#answered ;

rip to the person in my dream last night who i was in a time loop trying to save </3 woke up before i ever could
#well i mean they weren't dying in the loop but he was a part of a cult i was trying to get him out of. hard to deprogram someone in one day.#i was trying different ways of going about it. first just to get myself out of there. then on 1 loop i leaned hard into the cult & ended up#dating that guy. then on subsequent loops it wasn't enough that i figured out how to get myself out of there. i needed to get him out too.#even if he didnt remember me. maybe we'd date again maybe not but either way i wanted him out of there#i remember there was a game-like mechanic to the cult where you'd get coins for doing certain things#most people had a few thousands- the high ranking people had a million or two- the person i was trying to save had like tens of thousands#you could exchange coins for prizes. one was a private dinner for 3! you; a person of your choice; and a 'famous celebrity'#(said celebrity being a puppet formerly used by the cult. it would not be manned it would just be sitting there)#it cost 4.5 million. i kept my coins in the loops. that's why i did the loop(s) of getting in the cult's good graces#i had the coins. in this loop i decided to be just interested in the cult enough to not draw suspicion. i knew buying the dinner would draw#enough attention as is. i'd gotten close enough to him that loop that we were pretty friendly and i asked if he would like to do that dinne#he was like 'haha sure but we can't afford that' at which point i showed him my coins. 4.6 million. he was shocked. i made an excuse about#helping out whenever i could. i couldn't officially ask him to the dinner yet- buying anything with coins had to go through the higher ups;#and buying big prizes made an announcement to everyone. i missed my bit of good timing of buying it right after the announcement of the#prize cause i asked him if he actually wanted to go first- a couple of the leaders were getting married and i didnt want to draw even more#attention by doing that during the ceremony. we sat next to each other at the banquet and he kept asking me questions and i asked him not t#call attention to us. he said fine but he wanted answers. i said we would take turns asking each other questions. he agreed. i was hoping t#ask him questions that would make him question the cult- i could tell him more on our private dinner of course- but i let him go first#'do you love me as a person or as a character?'#i just sat there for a while. i don't know how he knew. the answer was both. but i knew what he was really asking. 'as a character.'#he was upset of course. fictional people tend to be when they find out that they are. he was angry. he accused me of lying or something els#i held his hand and begged him not to call attention to us but that i could prove it later. he looked at me. he told me he had access to a#room he shouldn't. he hadn't been there. but its name intrigued him. 'the dream lobe.' i knew this. id seen it before. id seen him see it#before. that room contains a fragment of a large brain. and a person whos whole purpose is to explain to you that you're a part of a dream.#a figment of its imagination. once you learn that you can never leave the room. i could of course. i was the dreamer. but i learned others#couldnt the hard way. i didnt want him trapped again but he demanded to go into the room. i went with him. i watched him go through the#stages of grief again. i watched him realize he couldnt leave. i knew i could try again. loop back and buy the dinner on time and have a#chance to explain without the room and maybe let him escape. but i watched him sit devastated in that room that i could leave and i realize#i was fighting for something that may never come to be. maybe the dinner would help. but thats just a faint hope. i could break the loops#whenever i wanted. i looked at him. and i left.

at the end of the day, i think the dems really just. overestimated the average american's intelligence
#it really felt like they didnt say things and didnt hammer certain things in because#1 they were afraid to lie/exaggerate? which. idk if they were right to act like that. lying and exaggerating apparently does better#2 they seemed content to let things go because they felt comfortable there was a line. apparently there isnt#the average american does not give a shit about democracy#and i guess as politicians (who know a heck of a lot about democracy) they kinda assumed people knew more than they do#also assumed people care more about others. clearly they dont. and they dont have the logic or care to get that theyre sabotaging themselve#'did biden drop out' i guess republicans continuing to act like biden was their opponent worked. ????#us politics#negative //

my motivation to draw increased exponentially as soon as i started splitting up my drawing time into 'art that i am committed to finishing' and 'art that i expect to be ugly'
#what would burn me out a lot is feeling like i couldnt draw certain things i wanted to draw because i wouldnt be able to do them well#i'd feel like i need to practice more/'get better' before i could try out those things#because i knew if i did it at the time it would look ugly and i didnt want to have ugly art that i spent so long on#at the same time i hate not completing 'proper' art for long periods of time#so i always felt like it was such a catch 22#now i literally spend 30 mins drawing whatever and then 1 hour drawing an actual piece and i just.#feel like i should've come up with such an easy solution a long time ago đ#âĄalizeh talksâĄ

Skills &.  powers.

don't reblog or steal or i will live in your walls <3

Johnny's interest in martial arts hadn't been intended,  despite his fascination with the likes of Bruce Lee and other famous action stars while growing up,  it never occurred to him that he would ever go down the same path as them,  and reach so far beyond than the life of any Hollywood star would ever hope for.  He began with a simple course of Karate as a means of self defense,  his mother came to the decision after many instances of bullying that went unaddressed and unpunished in his school,  he needed to learn to toughen up and stand up for himself,  [ a task that should be appointed to a father that was constantly out of the picture. ]  It was fun to the young boy he was at first,  but as he progressed from one belt to another,  his interest had grown exceptionally,  he practiced non stop and got recognised for his hard work,  eventually earning him a spot in various local tournaments then world championships,  which he had won four in his lifetime.  His achievements gained him audience with the best masters around the world and he was eager to be taught by them,  he advanced in other forms of Karate like Shorin Ryu,  Shinto Ryu,  [ that he later developed better from Darrius' teachings,  who he had gotten to meet during his training in Orderrealm later on.  ]  He mastered Jeet Kune Do and Muay Thai as well.
 It was all skill and physical abilities that had unknowingly qualified him to be a part of the mortal kombat tournaments,  which he at first agreed upon as a publicity stunt to save his failing career at the time.  It was at the end of the first tournament that something within him had sparked into a life,  a power beyond his imagination or knowledge to ever be in possession of.  Raiden himself didn't seem to be aware of it but after some research it's revealed to the star that he was a descendant from a mediterranean cult that bred warriors for combat.  That green glow is similar in essence to the likes of Shang Tsung,  Quan chi,  Nightwolf and even Shao khan,  which is presumably cultivated by souls.  The method with which this cult used to create a generation of warriors by using the souls of their fallen as enhancement for combat.  It was dormant during Johnny's life,  awakened at the defeat of Shao,  as his last remains were fading,  he had unknowingly absorbed a large amount of souls the Kahn had in possession from all the worlds he had conquered.
 It was a gradual shift from then on,  something was off but he could never put his finger on It,  only for it to emerge during the encounter with Shinnok,  the green glow that encased his body and acted like a shield,  fading as quickly as it had appeared.  He couldn't summon it by will again,  but rather it showed by itself,  more frequently the more he fought,  constantly feeding into that power until the near catastrophic end result as sudden bursts of energy from a huge quantity of souls his body was now struggling to contain.  He sought Raiden and Nightwolf's advice in order to control it,  or at least understand it,  [ for he was worried he might hurt those around him unintentionally  ],  the only solution they could come to was to send him to Orderrealm,  where he went through long and extensive training by both Hotaru and Darrius,  the conclusion was learning how to channel those powers through controlled blasts of energy,  as seen through what became his signature move afterwards the shadow kick.  He also learned to direct them through his kicks and punches,  conjuring energy blasts,  then later and with enough experience,  encasing his body with it to be used as shield upon command,  or his fists and kicks as an enhancement of strength during combat.
 Moreover,  due to this connection with souls,  his attentive nature is heightened as he can sense the others feelings to a relative degree by picking up on negative energy and thus better understand those around him.  It might be said he mastered his inner powers with age,  he's certainly more in control and attuned to its full capacity,  he can channel energy with ease and fluidity as though its second nature to him or an extension to his strength.  But he isn't exactly in full control at all times,  as explained,  he simply learned how to channel it  &.  keep those bursts of energy in check.  However,  when he's driven to an edge and is at the end of his limits,  his powers shift from green to crimson red,  which happens only when he uses his powers to its full extent,  but lack of concentration in that state can he destructive and it's highly draining to him that his body shuts down completely afterwards,  it's a last trump card he uses only at dire circumstances.
 Johnny possesses those powers in the new timeline as well,  had never been aware of them but just like the previous timeline it's a gradual process,  already triggered without his knowledge during the fight against Quan chi to stop the well of souls from creating Ermac.  Some of the souls that escaped when the stone was broken had gone through to Johnny who had been knocked unconscious at the time.  Some semblance of his powers show through speed for the most part,  when he dashes forward to evade an attack or when he puts enough force into a punch or kick,  the shadow left behind is quick for the eye to see but there's a faint green glow within it.  It's a slight shift he had noticed but took it as nothing more than a result of more extensive practice.  But its only bound to grow and emerge in full with time,  well after the first tournament and constant combat that he finds out and seeks Liu kang's aid this time around.

#hc tag#// i've been meaning to gush about his powers for a WHILE#// and fix the plot holes because there's no consistency about it throughout the timeline#// bc in the original they were awakened at the end of 9 but then he acts like he never knew about them in x#// then says he couldn't summon then again when he later has them in 11 ??#// so the best thing i could come up with is for it to be a slow rise of energy in both timelines#// yes he has them in 1 and ya'll have to fight me for it#// anyway in the start his case was very much like cassie#// he could only summon it at certain times#// but cassie didn't get exposed to this amount of souls like he did#// her problem is trying to find a better grasp on her powers whereas his is lack of control#// and screw u canon he did teach her everything he knows#// but i love to think of how older him is almost a master at it#// he matured both as a person and a fighter and we love it#// mk1 johnny is still on the road to learning about his full potential#// hopefully it won't be as disastrous jfkdfh#// ALSO BIG THANKS TO @AXRSINAL#// inspired the hc behind his attentiveness having a reason#// which i wouldn't call him an empath for but gives a very accurate vibe check hehe

that new silent hill game that came out yesterday is. well
#i knew not to expect much cuz like 1. its free and pretty short and 2. its a new silent hill game so. yknow#it is pretty mid. the story is interesting at points but its SO straightforward like 90% of the time which isnt bad usually#but for a silent hill game it's definitely disappointing. also the lack of any actual gameplay besides walking around and reading things#if i have to give it any props. i think the otherworld/monster design was cool (cuz it was done by masahiro ito) and its a pretty game#also also this is a stretch but. im almost certain this is gonna have some connection to silent hill f#the flower rotting motif + the mention of a japanese clairvoyant being persecuted as a witch seems like what theyre going for w f

^ those tags aren't strictly true because what a surgeon calls themselves matters way less than the qualifications they hold. for a major procedure like top surgery you absolutely want a trained plastic surgeon (standards vary by country; in the US this means a "board-certified" surgeon recognized by the ABPS), but many trained plastic surgeons will still call themselves cosmetic surgeons or describe what they do as cosmetic surgery.
plastic surgery is a broad category that includes things like burn recovery, reconstructive procedures after cancer, and cranial surgery for babies with prematurely fused skulls. so if you're a board-certified plastic surgeon with a focus on breast augmentation/reduction and facelifts, it can be helpful to describe yourself as a cosmetic surgeon as a way of signalling "hey, I mainly do stuff that changes your appearance, not baby skull surgery." the surgeon who did my liposuction is ABPS certified but even his practice (of which he is the only surgeon) has "cosmetic surgery" in the name!
so it's not an inherent red flag if someone calls themselves a cosmetic surgeon, you just need to make sure they're trained and know what they're doing. and if you're going in for a consult, ask to see pictures of other patients who got the same/similar procedure. if the pictures look bad or they refuse to show you any, get out of there immediately
NO you absolutely WANT your PLASTIC SURGERY procedures to be done by a PLASTIC SURGEON.
As in someone who is specifically trained in it and does it every day.
Someone who is not specifically trained in pleasing cosmetic results and not actively practicing pleasing cosmetic results is how you get horrifying cosmetic results
I cannot tell you how many episodes of Botched I've seen where someone with a mangled nose job says some shit like "My dentist did 2 for 1 rhinoplasty...."
#also imo a plastic surgeon with a large cis clientele can be a positive signal for gender-affirming care under the right circumstances#because (1) high demand means they're probably good and (2) that's how you build experience. let the cis patients be guinea pigs#obv you want someone who has actually done your exact procedure before (ask for pictures!!!) but certain skills are highly transferrable#if someone does a lot of mastopexy that gives me confidence in their top surgery skills bc they're similar procedures#my surgeon had never done masculinizing lipo before (which is fair) but he does a shitload of lipo in general so I knew he was good#and then some things are actually identical. for gender-affirming breast augmentation I'd trust the doc who's done it on 1000 cis women

in which : alhaitham speaks to you in 5 different languages, unaware that you understand every word he says.
wc 7.3k (pls give it a chance lol), academic rivals to lovers, unrequited hate, attempt at humor, college au, denial + pinning.. crazy ik, he falls first (and harder), tw stalking by a drunkard, a genius on paper but a total dumbass when it comes to crushes, lil smau at the end!, ft. sumeru gang. art by @/gamegatchihaja on x.
ps. translations ay nasa maliliit na titik, katulad neto!!
ps. translations will be in small letters, like this!!

PROLOGUE: GOD I HATE THIS GUY! (DOES HE THINK IM STUPID?)
the semester is nearing its conclusion, and the imminent approach of finals marks the most critical period of the year; students rush through the halls, clutching their notes and textbooks like lifelines, while you pour every ounce of effort into your studies ânot just for your grades, but also to surpass a certain arrogant scholar.Â
alhaitham.Â
the name tastes like spoiled milk on your tongue, a sour reminder of all the times heâs bested you, even if itâs just by a small margin, leaving you dumbfounded when the difference between your marks during the last exam was a mere 1%.Â
you were groveling in front of your professor, âplease, just round the marks up?â you could practically feel your dignity slipping away. and the worst part? you were so desperate that you started mentally calculating how many odd jobs youâd be willing to do just to sweeten the deal.Â
(maybe youâll help organize the office, run around the campus to buy him drinks every day, or even wipe down the windows of his carâŚ)
disclaimer: he ultimately said no, but he did compliment your impeccable taste in coffee so, a win is a win?Â
anyhow, alhaithamâs nonchalance only adds to your frustration, especially when he switches to a different language mid-conversation. it feels like heâs rubbing salt in your wounds, why of course you can understand him perfectly âafter all, you arenât majoring in linguistics for no reason, plus he's not the only one whoâs fluent in multiple languages.
though you keep that to yourself, perhaps because the things he says in those languages, which he assumes you donât understand, are far from innocent, unknowingly letting you have a glimpse into his true feelings.Â
ACT I: WHOLEHEARTEDLY, I DETEST YOU.Â
alhaitham would never fall in love âsuch irrational and illogical emotions held no value to him.Â
that was what he always believed, but then he saw you.Â
the way you laughed so unapologetically at cynoâs jokes, how you always stood firm by your beliefs, your refusal to compromise who you are; you were a breath of fresh air in a world that often felt stifling.
as much as he tries to act unfazed, he can't help the heat prickling his skin nor the way his composure falters just slightly in your presence. and when his heart raced for the first time in what felt like forever, he knew âhe was completely, utterly screwed.
(âfix me, kaveh.â / âhah. who do you think i am, ây/nâ?â)
when kaveh told him that he just had a simple âcrushâ, he nearly rolled his eyes so hard he thought they might get stuck there permanently.)
likewise, this ugly arrogant handsome bastard here, is one youâll never fall in love with.Â
heâs infuriating, completely insufferable, and yet thereâs something about him, something hidden beneath that arrogance, that draws you in. the idea that you could ever fall for someone like him seems laughable, impossible even. he's exactly the kind of person you should avoid and you know better than to be charmed by someone like him. yet, there's that nagging feeling, deep down, that perhaps youâre not as immune to him as you think.
by some stroke of luck, youâre in the same major, same year, and even enrolled in the same lecture periods, which means you end up in the same place at the same time more often than not.
but you canât deny that, in some twisted way, you admire him. his intellect is beyond impressive, even if it annoys you to admit it. so surely, in his eyes, youâre still inferior, and you often wonder if he even considers your ideas as worthy of attention.
(they are.)
ACT II: YOUR WATCHFUL EYES, I CANâT IGNORE.
your pen glides across the pages as you jot down notes, fully absorbed in your studies, barely registering the faint sound of distant chatter.
unbeknownst to you, a group of students has gathered just outside the lecture hall, peeking in from the door with curious, amused expressions. theyâre clearly there for you, exchanging glances and murmurs, waiting for the moment you step outside.
you donât notice, but alhaitham, seated a few feet away, certainly does.
his eyes narrow slightly as he takes in the scene. he doesnât say anything at first, but his jaw clenches ever so subtly. as you begin to pack up, you glance up to find him standing in front of you, his tall figure effectively blocking the group outsideâs direct line of sight to you.
with a discreet glance over his shoulder, he shoots them a cold, unmistakable glare. they visibly shudder, seemingly getting the message as they awkwardly shuffle away.Â
âwhat was that about?â
alhaitham leans against your desk, ânothing important,â his tone is dismissive, laced with irritation, his gaze still fixed on the now-empty doorway.Â
you narrow your eyes, unimpressed. âreally? you just scared them off for no reason?â
âjust getting rid of some⌠distractions,â he says casually, turning his attention back towards you. you raise an eyebrow, clearly not believing his words. âdistractions? they werenât bothering me.âÂ
his expression remains impassive, âkhi háť cᝊ Äáť Ă˝ Äáşżn em như váşy⌠em thẼy khĂ´ng phiáťn, còn tĂ´i thĂŹ cĂł.â
âseeing them constantly paying attention to you⌠you're not bothered by it, but i am.â
âbáťi vĂŹ cĂĄi cĂĄch mĂ em chĂş tâm hoĂ n toĂ n vĂ o máťt viáťc gĂŹ ÄĂłâŚÂ nĂł quyáşżn rĹŠ vĂ´ cĂšng.â
because the way you completely focus on something⌠is truly mesmerising.
you blink, feeling a momentary flush of confusion and surprise at the words slipping from his mouth. did he justâ? but before you can fully process it, he continues.
âváşy nĂŞn tĂ´i cĹŠng khĂ´ng tháť trĂĄch háť khi háť muáťn nhĂŹn em gáş§n vĂ lâu hĆĄn Äưᝣc.â
so i donât blame them when they want to look at you closer and longer.
his words linger in the air, a moment passes before it clicks âhe doesnât think you understand. thatâs why heâs speaking so⌠freely; letting slip things heâd never say outright in a language you both speak fluently.
ânhưng mà ⌠chắc khĂ´ng ai trong sáť báťn háť cĂł tháť sĂĄnh ngang váťi tĂ´i, em nháť?â
but⌠none of them can compare to me, right?
your chest tightens as a surge of warmth courses through you.Â
his detached attitude only fuels your irritation. but thereâs also a certain satisfaction in knowing something he doesnât: youâve understood every single word heâs said.
feigning ignorance, you raise an eyebrow, meeting his gaze with what you hope is a neutral expression. "what are you going on about?" you ask.
his expression remains as stoic as ever, not a single crack in his mask. he simply shrugs, eyes still on you, "just telling you to focus more.â
your grip on the pen tightens, there's a part of you that wants to wipe that smug look off his face, to show him you're not as clueless as he assumes. but not yet âyouâre curious to see just how far heâs willing to push.
"right," you mutter under your breath, tapping the pen against your notebook. "focus. got it."
he leans down slightly, one arm resting on the back of your chair while the other presses against the table, effectively caging you in.
"you're wasting time, finals are coming up." he takes a brief pause before continuing, "i wish you the best of luck, youâll need it.â
your eyes snap up to him in a glare, âdonât you have somewhere to be?" you bite back.
alhaitham straightens, giving you a final glance before turning towards the door. ânaturally, i have studying to do.â
âbáťi vĂŹ tĂ´i sáş˝ chᝊng minh cho em thẼy ráşąng cháť cĂł tĂ´i máťi xᝊng táş§m lĂ m Äáťi tháť§ háťc thuáşt cáť§a em, khĂ´ng máťt ai khĂĄc.â
because i will prove to you that only i am worthy of being your rival, no one else.
why did he frame it as if itâs a privilege only he can claim? or is he trying to⌠flatter you?!
you shake your head, no way, thatâs ridiculous. finals are coming up, thereâs no time to dwell on whatever mind games heâs playing. though if the almighty alhaitham wants a rival, then youâll show him exactly what it means to stand at the pinnacle.
ACT III: IN MY DREAMS, I SCORED HIGHER THAN YOU.
youâre tired, the kind of tired that seeps deep into your bones. every blink stretches longer than the last and you find it increasingly difficult to focus on the words in front of you. stifling a yawn, you feel the pull of sleep tugging at you, whispering sweet promises of rest.
thereâs still time till your next class.
maybe you'll take a moment to close your eyes, just for a few secondsâŚ
did you not get enough sleep last night, or did you stay up late studying again? alhaitham watches silently from across the room, his eyes narrowing as your head droops lower, your exhaustion becoming painfully obvious with each passing second. his gaze lingers on the way your pen pauses mid-sentence, the line on your notebook trailing off as your hand grows heavy.
he pushes himself up from his seat, and approaches your desk; he notices the sunlight streaming through the window, harsh and unrelenting, hitting right over the table where youâre sitting. he looks at you âeyes closed, with the faintest crease of discomfort on your brow.
without a word, he reaches out and slips the pen from your grip, the slight shift causing your fingers to twitch, but you donât wake.Â
for a fleeting second, he considers waking you. but then, as you shift again, settling more comfortably into your chair, he decides against it. what good would that do, anyway? youâd probably just brush him off and keep going until you collapse from sheer fatigue. typical.
instead, he adjusts his stance slightly, positioning himself just right to make sure the sunlight is fully blocked from your face, casting you in a cool shadow.Â
you mumble something incoherent, and he canât help but roll his eyes at your state. did you really think burning yourself out like this would help you focus?
âstubborn,â he mutters under his breath.Â
you're always like this, pushing yourself past your limits, and while part of him respects your determination to outdo him, he wonât allow it to come at the expense of your health.
you stir from your slumber, lifting your head, your gaze lands on a familiar figure standing to the side of your table. his back turned, facing the sunlight that streams in from the window.Â
alhaitham.Â
heâs close, so close that his broad shoulders completely block out the sunlight from the window. the sight sends a rush of confusion through your already sleep-addled mind. did he⌠stand there the whole time? why?Â
you shift slightly in your seat, your movement catching his attention. without turning, he speaks in that low, steady tone of his, âyouâre awake.â
âalhaitham?â you murmur, your voice still thick with sleep.
he glances over his shoulder, just enough for you to catch a glimpse of the calm expression on his face. âyouâve been out for a while,â he comments, a hint of amusement in his voice. âi was starting to think youâd sleep through your next class.â
you rub the sleep from your eyes, âwhy didnât you wake me up then?â
his shoulders shift slightly as he shrugs, still facing away from you. âyou looked like you needed the rest. besides, itâs more entertaining to see how long youâd stay asleep.â
a flicker of annoyance courses through you as you roll your eyes, âoh, so you mean you care?â
he turns slightly, and you can see a hint of a smirk on his lips. âdonât read too much into it. i just prefer my competition functioning at their best.â
you wish you could roll your eyes harder because this man has an uncanny talent for grating on your nerves while somehow being insufferably charming at the same time.
âah yes âbecause you need me to keep up with you,â you remark sarcastically.
âexactly.â you let out an exasperated sigh as you lean back in your chair. âyou really think so highly of yourself, donât you?â
âmushiro, kimi no koto o hijĹ ni takaku hyĹka shiteiru yo.â
if anything, i think highly of you.Â
your brows knit together in surprise, and you canât help but scoff. âwhat was that? i didn't catch it.â
âi said i wonât go easy on you.â oh, the audacity. heâs lying again, and he knows it.
the corners of your mouth twitch in disbelief as you scrutinise his expression. thereâs that familiar glimmer in his eyes, a spark of mischief that tells you heâs enjoying this too much.
âwhatever,â you retort, crossing your arms defiantly. ânot like i want you to anyway.â
despite your words, you can't deny that his actions earlier were surprisingly endearing. you wonder how long he intends to keep this up. perhaps itâs time you let him know.
âii ne, kimi ga iraira shite iru toki wa kawaiikara.â
good, because youâre cute when youâre all riled up.
you feel a blush creep into your cheeks at his words, okay maybe you shouldnât let him know. you instinctively look away, as if avoiding his gaze can help you regain your composure.
cute? what does he mean âcuteâ?! he thinks he can get away with calling you cute âwell⌠well, thereâs not much you can do about it, youâre not ready to confront him about this either.
the mere thought of asking him directly makes your stomach twist with a yearâs worth of embarrassment. yet, as you try to refocus on the book in front of you, you find yourself biting your lip, struggling to suppress a smile that threatens to break free.
ACT IV: I WOKE UP TODAY, AND A DREAM CAME TRUE.
the hallway buzzes with excitement as students gather around the large announcement board, eager to see the results of their theses. you push through the crowd, heart pounding, the low hum of chatter filling your ears.Â
when you reach the front, you quickly scan the list; the moment your eyes land on your name, your breath catches in your throat.
there it is, in bold red ink at the top of the board âa score higher than youâd ever hoped for, higher than his. and your name, on top of his.
alhaitham.
you glance over and spot him approaching the board, approaching you. his expression is, as always, unreadable. but you know him well enough by now to catch the slight pause in his movements, the brief moment where his eyes linger just a second too long on the board.
you try not to think too much about it as you collect your thesis, with alhaitham following closely behind, his fingers nearly grazing yours as you both sift through the stack of papers on the table.
you take in the glowing praise from your professor, each word making you feel like every all-nighter was worth it. you clutch the paper, resisting the urge to grin like an idiot.Â
glancing sideways, you wait for him to say something, maybe some backhanded comment, but he remains silent. your eyes meet, and thereâs a shift in his gaze as the usual sharpness in his eyes dulls ever so slightly, your smile lingering like the first light of dawn breaking through the night's embrace.
itâs subtle âjust a flicker âbut you catch how his gaze falters, softening, if only for a heartbeat. the edges of his stare blur, drawn to the warmth of your expression as though itâs something he hadnât meant to witness, yet canât look away from.Â
at this moment,
"looks like i finally beat you," you say, not bothering to suppress the grin spreading across your face now.
he feels like
thereâs no scowl, no sign of frustration âjust the slightest raise of an eyebrow. âhmm. by a point.â he pauses, studying you for a second longer than necessary before returning his gaze to his paper. âenjoy it while it lasts.â
he's in heaven.
itâs as if heâs not bothered by the outcome at all. in fact, if anything, he seems... satisfied?
"hindi dapat ganito kalala ang epekto ng ngiti mo sa akin."
your smile shouldn't affect me this badly.
ââhuh?â your mouth drops slightly open at his words; out of everything, you didnât expect him to say that. it catches you off guard, making your heart race just a little faster. if you peer closely enough, you might catch a glimpse of the gentle arch of his lips, a ghost of a smile.Â
the silence stretches on for a beat too long before he clears his throat and shifts his gaze away from you. âang iyong ngiti ang pinakamagandang tanawin ng aking araw.â
your smile is the most beautiful sight of my day.
âwhat?â the word slips from your lips, barely a breath, a soft gasp that hangs in the air. it feels almost surreal and you wonder if youâve misheard him.
each heartbeat thunders in your ears, a rhythm that matches the erratic flutter in your chest. why is he saying these things, what for in a different languageâŚ? thereâs no way that heâ
"âtulad mo na ang hinangad ko na ligawan, ngunit sa bawat ngiti mo, halip ay mas lalo akong nahulog para sayo."
âlike you, who i wish to court, but with every smile, i instead found myself falling for you.Â
your breath hitches as your heart stumbles, the implications of his words washing over you like a wave. a rush of heat floods your cheeks, âwhat⌠did you say?â
his shoulders stiffen, and thereâs a subtle tension in the way his fingers curl against the paper heâs holding. âsee you tomorrow, [name],â he mutters, his voice low but hurried, and before you know it, heâs already walking away.
two strange things happened today:Â
1. you finally beat your sworn enemy!
2. said enemy⌠complimented you?Â
huh, itâs as if the words slipped out before he could catch them, as if heâs been holding them in for far too long, as if⌠you notice the way his neck reddens, even as he turns away.
behind the door, alhaitham lets out a quiet breath.
âgago⌠nagkamali ba ako?â
stupid⌠did i make a mistake?
to his dismay, an annoyingly familiar voice cuts through the silence. kaveh, who had been waiting just down the hall, notices him standing there, a little too still.Â
âoh, what do we have here?" there's a slight pause, followed by a raised eyebrow. "is thatâno way, your face is red!â kaveh teases, amusement dancing in his eyes. âwhat happened there?" he leans in, clearly enjoying himself. "come on, spill the tea..!âÂ
"not a chance," alhaitham retorts, rolling his eyes and crossing his arms defensively.
just then, kaveh spots cyno and tighnari; grinning, he waves them over. âwhatâs going on? did alhaitham finally crack under pressure?â
alhaitham would rather reorganise the entire library than listen to kaveh recount what happened.
âiâm leaving.âÂ
"no, i'm afraid you're not getting out of this one.â cyno steps forward, blocking alhaithamâs path; and tighnari, who has been quietly observing till now, chimes in, âdonât leave us hanging.â
âyouâre outnumbered.âÂ
alhaitham sighs and shakes his head. he hadnât even thought it was physically possible for him, of all people, to do something as ridiculous as blushing âuntil today.
(on the other side of the door, their banter echoes through, and you canât help but chuckle to yourself at alhaithamâs misery.)
ACT V: PLAUSIBLE DENIABILITY, YOU SAY? BUT EVERYONE CALLS IT FLIRTING.
âi think alhaitham likes [name].â
the whole table falls silent before kaveh dramatically slams his glass down on the table, causing a splash of alcohol to spill over the edge. âoh finally, itâs so obvious! have you all seen the way he looks at them?âÂ
across the table, tighnari taps his fingers absentmindedly on his notebook, his attention only half on kavehâs (incoming) rant but clearly invested enough, as shown by the slight twitching of his ears, to be listening.Â
cyno snickers, âyouâre telling me the man who can dissect any philosophical argument canât handle a little crush? thatâs rich.â
kaveh waves a hand dismissively. âcome on! remember that time they were partnered up for a project? he was so... uncharacteristically patient! iâd almost say itâs cute if it werenât alhaitham weâre talking about!â
right, itâd be almost endearing âif it werenât coming from the most stoic, intimidatingly aloof guy in the entire school. itâd be adorable âif it werenât alhaitham, who instinctively covers the corner of your table with his hand when you drop your pencil, ensuring you wonât hit your head as you bend down to retrieve it.
oh, you donât notice (of course not). but your friend dehya, sitting nearby, catches the whole scene out of the corner of her eye. she raises an eyebrow, nudging the girl beside her.Â
(âcandace, do you see that shit.â / âyeah.â)
âa soft spot for [name], you say? well, iâve got a story of my own, too.â cyno glances around, ensuring no one else is within earshot, then lowers his voice conspiratorially. âhave you noticed? he doesnât wear his earphones when heâs around them.â
kaveh pipes up, nodding eagerly.
âheâs got those earphones practically glued to his head, he doesnât hear anything he doesnât want to, and he certainly doesnât talk unless heâs forced to. but around them?â cyno pauses, pretending to think for a while. ânot once. heâll put them away entirely, like heâs actually willing to be⌠present.â
sure itâs small, subtle, the kind of habit no one would pick up on unless they were looking closely. but to anyone who knew alhaitham well, it tells them more than words ever could.Â
for him, actions speak louder than words, even if he often doesnât realise the meaning behind his own gestures.
his earphones slide down, resting forgotten around his neck, all so he can be close enough to catch the delightful lilt of your laughter. his chair inches a fraction closer, seemingly by accident. a subtle upward twitch at the corner of his mouth, so fleeting and often passing so quickly if one werenât paying attention.
for him, itâs a language without words.
dehya laughs softly. "for someone who supposedly âdoesnât like being bothered,â he sure seems invested in whatever [name] has to say."
and what sealed their suspicions?Â
definitely the time when kaveh complimented nilouâs new bracelet. he glanced over at the man beside him, nudging him lightly. âwhat do you think?â
alhaitham gave the bracelet a cursory glance, before replying, âitâs nice.â though his gaze flickered back; and almost absently, he added after a pause, â[name] has the same one too.â
oh⌠oh? well that was oddly specific. kavehâs eyebrow quirked as he fought to suppress a grin.
alhaitham had noticed a detail seemingly insignificant about [name] âthe kind of thing he never cared to show the slightest interest in when it came to anyone else.
the glint in nilouâs eyes seemed to mirror kavehâs unspoken thoughts, silently agreeing with his suspicions. Â
now theyâre certain â100% sure, in fact âthat alhaitham has a crush on you.
âwell, speak of the devil⌠lovely seeing you here, alhaitham,â kaveh quips. tighnari, ever observant, gives him a pointed look. âyour jacketâs missing.â
âsomeone took it,â alhaitham replies, his tone as composed as always, giving nothing away.
ânothing until you walked past. draped over your shoulders, unmistakable, is alhaithamâs jacket. you donât notice the way every pair of eyes follows you, or the way kaveh barely stifles a triumphant laugh.
...make that 110%.
(translation: he means he borrowed his jacket because [name] was cold.)
ACT VI: ITâS YOU, WHO COMES TO MY RESCUE.Â
the quiet night hangs heavy, the road empty and bathed in the dim glow of distant streetlights. you weave through the streets, but no matter how many twists and turns you take, that weirdo just wonât leave you alone. Â
heâs been trailing behind you for blocks now, his persistence grating on your nerves, cornering you with endless âcomplimentsâ and invasive questions. youâve tried to shake him off, but his determination far exceeds your patience.
"come on, just give me a chance," he insists, stepping closer, a little too close for comfort. you take a step back. the smell of alcohol reeks from his breath, and his grin is making your skin crawl.Â
"i told you, iâm not interested," you say firmly, keeping your voice steady, but the panic was starting to creep in. you glance at the empty bottle in his hand âheâs definitely drunk out his mind.
âyou sure?" he completely ignores your clear discomfort. "how about you just give me your number, yeah?" he slurs out.
"no, i have a boyfriend." you lie through your teeth, hoping that would be enough to make him back off.
unfortunately, heâs as insufferable as he is persistent.
he snorts dismissively, "yeah, right. a boyfriend? youâre just playing hard to get."
you sigh, you arenât in the mood for this, not here, not now, and especially not with someone like him. "i already told you, i have a boyfriend," your voice now tinged with frustration. "so please, just leave me alone.â
"oh, don't be like that," he steps in front of you, blocking your way. "prove it. call your boyfriend. show me youâre not lying."
your heart races as the man reaches out for you, dodging his hand, you take the chance to look behind him for an escape. just then, you see an all-too-familiar figure in the distance.Â
alhaitham.Â
you barely manage to suppress a relieved sigh as you wave frantically in his direction. he spots you almost immediately and without hesitation, he rushes over.
"what, this your boyfriend?" the guy sneers with derision, still sounding a little too cocky for someone who was about to get a reality check.
alhaitham steps beside you, you can feel his eyes on you for just a brief moment, the faintest flicker of worry flashing across his face. itâs subtle, almost imperceptible, but you catch itâand it makes your chest tighten.
his voice is low, unmistakably carrying a warning, "yes, iâm their boyfriend. and if you donât want things to escalate, i suggest you leave."Â
the manâs face twists as anger flares in his bloodshot eyes. he takes a step forward, his grip tightening around the neck of the bottle, the glass slightly cracking. "you think you can tell me what to do?" he slurs, gaze wild and unfocused. ây-you think youâre some kind of saviour? *hic* a-and you! how⌠how dare you reject me?!â
alhaitham doesnât move, his expression cold and unbothered, and that only seems to make the man angrier. his frustration boils over, and with a snarl, he clumsily swings the bottle in his hand, aggressively lurching towards your direction.Â
the world seems to slow for a moment. though before you can even react, alhaitham pulls you firmly behind him with one swift motion, his other arm instinctively rising to shield the both of you from the blow. the sound of glass meeting his forearm is sharp and jarring âyou can hear the high-pitched tinkle of glass scattering, the jagged shards bouncing off the pavement, and some skittering across the ground.
but he doesnât even flinch, his stance unwavering as the man stumbles back, glass crunching underfoot. youâre still frozen from shock, your heart racing in your chest as you watch the scene unfold.Â
âbig mistake,â he starts, and the man visibly falters. âharassment, assault âkeep this up, and youâll regret every choice that brought you here tonight.â
the man shifts around, clearly disoriented. his eyes dart between you and alhaitham, but itâs clear that the fightâs already left him. âyouâ you canât do this!â the man stammers, trying to regain some semblance of courage; unfortunately for him, the tremor in his voice is unmistakable.Â
âdo you really want to find out?â alhaitham asks, to which the man shakes his head vigorously. âget lost,â he mutters. the man, looking more pathetic than threatening now, quickly stumbles away, mumbling incoherent curses under his breath.
youâre breathless, still clutching the edge of his jacket, fingers trembling slightly as the adrenaline courses through you.Â
"are you alright?"
you nod, forcing a small, unconvincing smile."yeah... iâm fine. thanks to you."Â
alhaithamâs eyes narrow slightly, scanning you for any sign of injury. you follow his gaze instinctively, glancing down at yourself. thatâs when you notice it ânot on you, but on him.
streaks of red stain his forearm, where jagged shards of glass must have cut him during the confrontation. the gash bleeds steadily, a dark line of blood seeping through the fabric of his jacket.
"wait," you breathe, your heart sinking. "you're bleeding."
your stomach twists with guilt.
"why didnât you say anything?" you exclaim.
he shakes his head, a dismissive gesture that does nothing to ease the knot forming in your stomach. "itâs nothing," he says, but the slight furrow in his brow and the tension in his jaw betray his words.
"nothing?" you fix him with a hard glare. "idiot⌠you just blocked a glass bottle with your arm, donât try to downplay this." Â
you grab his sleeve, tugging it gently but firmly, the fabric sliding beneath your fingers as you pull it up. ââand unless you think an infection is ânothingâ, youâll let me take care of this."Â Â
"hold still," you murmur as you settle beside him on the couch, your supplies spread across the coffee table in front of you.
the scent of antiseptic fills the air as you take a disinfectant wipe and gently dab it against the gash. the sting of the alcohol makes him flinch slightly, but he doesnât pull away. you mutter a soft apology, your movements slow and deliberate as you try to be as gentle as you can.
you open a tube of ointment, squeezing a small amount onto your finger before smoothing it carefully along the edges of the cut. the cool gel glides over his skin, and you can feel the tension in his arm ease ever so slightly under your touch.
ânÇ zhème guÄn xÄŤn wÇ, huĂŹ rĂ ng wÇ wĂš huĂŹ de.â
if you care so much about me, i might misunderstand you.
your fingers pause briefly, the words catching you off guard. you glance up at him, but he only averts his gaze, his eyes remaining fixed on a distant spot beyond the room.
misunderstand? misunderstand what, exactly?
the bandage wraps securely around his arm as you smooth it into place. as you tuck the end of the bandage, his voice comes again, just as soft, but no less clear.Â
ââwĂš huĂŹ nÇ duĂŹ wÇ yÇu gÇn juĂŠ.â
"âmisunderstand that you have feelings for me."
your brain short-circuits, and in your shock, your hands jerk. in turn, the bandage tightens way too much, causing him to wince and tense up. before you can apologise, he lets out a light chuckle.
âsuÇ yÇ nÇ dÄn xÄŤn wÇ⌠nÇ shĂŹ bĂš shĂŹ gĂš yĂŹ rĂ ng rĂŠn xÄŤn dòng de?â
âso you're worried about me⌠are you purposely trying to make my heart race?â
his words only make you more flustered, and you find yourself fumbling to fix the bandage. âiâm sorry! i didnât mean toââ
his chuckle only grows softer, and you catch the glint of amusement in his eyes. âitâs fine.â
you quickly finish adjusting the bandage, trying to focus on anything other than how your heart is now racing. (ironically)Â
âyou seem flustered,â he comments casually, as if he isnât the one who just made your head spin. âdid i say something wrong?â
you shake your head quickly, hoping to hide the flush creeping up your neck. "no, not at all.â
his lips twitch into the faintest hint of a smirk.
"nÇ bĂš bĂŹ yÇn shĂŹ, wÇ xÇ huÄn nÇ hĂ i xiĹŤ de yĂ ng zÇ, tÇng kÄ Ă i de.â
âyou donât have to hide it. i like seeing your flustered expression, itâs quite cute.â
(oh this bastard!!!!)
you try to speak, but the words get stuck in your throat. what do you say when someoneâs teasing you so openly âand they think you donât even realise it?
after a long moment, he stands, âitâs getting late, i should get going.â alhaitham gives you a small, almost imperceptible nod, his eyes meeting yours for a brief moment âand there it was, that trace of softness reserved only for you.
he heads toward the door, you watch him, feeling a strange sense of emptiness when he turns away.
âiâll see you,â he pauses. "...and thank you for tending to me."
you watch him leave, the door clicking softly behind him, and the silence settles back into the room.
you blink, taking a deep breath. what a rollercoaster of a day. yawning, you turn to start tidying up, but your eyes land on something on the couch.
itâs his jacket, draped over the armrest. you notice a tear on the sleeve, just where his injured forearm had been. what truly catches your attention, however, is a folded piece of paper slipping out of the pocket.Â
intrigued, you unfold it, revealing his neat, precise handwriting.Â
ACT VII: THE SECRET IâVE ALWAYS KNOWN.Â
To [Name], I once believed you to be little more than a nuisance. A bright, well-meaning nuisance, no doubt, but a nuisance nonetheless. One who seemed intent only on striving for perfection, always seeking to best me at every turn, not out of malice but out of some earnest desire to prove your worth. In my arrogance, I mistook your relentless pursuit for a need for recognition, as if you sought my attention in some petty rivalry. Though very quickly, you made me think otherwise. You saw the world differently, you also saw me differently. You didnât treat me with the reverence others seemed to, nor did you shy away from challenging me. You refused to be seen as anything other than yourself; and that, in itself, was what made me admire you âwhat made me long to understand you more. Now, I find that I am standing with half a heart and an emptiness I never knew I could feel, because you showed me what it truly means to crave something more, something I never thought I deserved. You may think Iâm a coward for not expressing my feelings more directly, perhaps you are right. I am a coward for fearing to lay bare the vulnerability of my heart. But even in my cowardice, know that my thoughts have always been of you. If you have seen through my silence and hesitation, if you understand my actions when my words fail me, then perhaps you have already known this truth. I care for you, more deeply than I can fully express. Though I may never be able to say these things as openly as I wish, Iâd like you to know that my actions have always been my confession. Even now, Iâm still a coward for you. So please, if you decide to give me a chance, Iâll be waiting at nightfall. Helplessly, Alhaitham.Â
you absentmindedly trace the edges of the letter with your fingers while your eyes skim over his writing for the nth time, the ink seeming to blur together with your thoughts as you try to process everything. your fingers curl around the fabric of his jacket, a foolish smile creeping onto your face.
tomorrowâs nightfall feels impossibly far away, yet you canât wait for it.Â
alhaitham lays on his bed, his arm aches slightly from the injury, but itâs nothing he canât ignore. plus, the bandage you had carefully wrapped around his arm is enough to keep the discomfort at bay.Â
(originally, he had only planned to meet you, slip you the note, and be on his way. things didnât go exactly to plan, but either way, he hopes youâve read it by now.)
of all the possibilities, heâs never accounted for the one heâd be at mercy of his own emotions; he had always prided himself on his rationality, his restraint. but now? heâs reckless, absurd, foolish even âhe can admit that to himself. but he finds he doesnât care in the slightest.
for as much as he is a coward in your presence, he is just as much a fool in your absence.
ACT VIII: UNDER THE RAIN, I HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY.Â
âalhaitham isnât really an expressive person, so donât worry if he comes off as distant or uninterested. itâs not that he doesnât care, he just⌠shows it differently.â
ah well, âdifferentlyâ indeed.
ââmost importantly, alhaitham doesnât waste time on people he doesnât care about, so you must mean a lot to him.â
maybe you didnât mind how your heart raced when you heard that.
âdonât fuss over it [name], youâll know when heâs in love.â
how so?Â
if he was in love, what would it look like? would you be able to tell, or would it be just another one of those things you had to catch on to?
you wrapped the his jacket tighter around yourself, a faint smile tugging at your lips. it wasnât the answers to those questions that mattered, but asking them in the first place âthat was what made you realize you already knew all along.
the evening air is cool against your skin; a gentle breeze stirs the trees, their leaves rustling quietly, and your heart beats louder than ever, urging you forward.
in the distance, you spot him, standing still in the dim light. and without a second thought, you quicken your pace.
âhaitham.â
the sound of your voice catches his attention as he turns to face you; you canât help but notice how his gaze flickers down for just a moment, his eyes taking in on how his jacket looks on you, before meeting yours.Â
his posture is unnervingly perfect, rigid almost to the point of stiffness âŚis he nervous?
âhey,â he finally says, clearing his throat. âthereâs something i need to tell you⌠though youâve probably already figured it out. youâve always been sharp.âÂ
âi⌠â he falters, and itâs the first time you see him hesitate. âiâm not sure how to put it⌠since iâm not exactly great at this.â
you tilt your head, subtly urging him to continue.Â
âbut youâve managed to make me care about things i never thought i would. and now i canât seem to stop thinking about it âabout you.â his voice lowers, softer now, but thereâs a rawness there thatâs unmistakable.
âiâm telling you this now, because not saying it... doesnât feel right anymore."
suddenly, you feel a soft mist that barely kisses your skin, a slight chill against your cheeks, then a few tiny drops, until they start to gather in your hair, the beads of water slipping down the back of your neck, but you don't move. neither does he.
his hair is damp, sticking to his forehead, droplets trailing down his temple. his clothes cling to his frame, soaked by the rain, yet his attention remains solely on you.
â[name], i am irrevocably in love with you.â
you stand there, the rain falling relentlessly around you, the pitter-patter mirroring the frantic beat of your heart. the water trails down his face, but itâs hard to tell if itâs just the rain, or something else.
his lips part, as though he wants to say more, but the words seem caught in the storm, swallowed up by the downpour. the rain is cold, but his gaze? his gaze feels impossibly warm.Â
itâs only when you feel the dampness of his jacket beneath your fingers, that the words finally come. âyou donât need to convince me of that.â
you take a step closer, and for a moment, the world outside seems to disappear.
âiâve known,â you add. âbut hearing you say it,â you pause, allowing yourself a small smile, âmakes all the difference.â
reaching up, your fingers graze his damp skin as you gently push a wet strand of hair from his forehead, the warmth of your touch lingering against his cool skin.Â
â'uhibuk aydan, alhaitham.â
i love you too, alhaitham.
a single droplet slides down his cheek, tracing the line of his jaw before falling to the soaked fabric of his collar. another follows. and then another. his breath catches in his throat, and a shaky exhale leaves his mouth.
you wrap your arms around him, and he sinks into your embrace, his hair tickling your cheeks, as his chest rises and falls against yours.
âyouâre gonna make me cry too, idiot,â you murmur, burying your face in his chest, your eyes glassy. âyou really are a fool,â you tease softly, a slight smile playing on your lips. âbut only for me.â
slowly, his hands rise, trembling slightly, until they cup your cheeks, gently stroking it.Â
âla yujad 'ahad akhar 'urid 'an 'akun 'ahmaq min 'ajlihi.â
thereâs no one else iâd ever want to be a fool for.
his palms are surprisingly warm despite the weather. his thumb grazes your cheekbone as he leans in, and the world falls away ânothing but the warmth of his presence and the soft press of his lips against yours.
âthis is my first time in ten years seeing this guy cry! can you believe it?!â kaveh whisper-shouts, peeking out from behind the shrub.Â
nodding along, cyno agrees, poking his head out just right below the blondâs. â[name] is truly exceptional. though i must say, seeing alhaitham cry is quite tear-rifying.â
kaveh rolls his eyes in exasperation. âugh, you and your puns.â he mutters under his breath while zooming in on his phone, which is currently recording the whole scene.
âquiet down, you two!â a voice hisses from behind them âtighnari, face flushed with panic. âtheyâre literally right there, and youâre making more noise than a herd of goats.â
ârelax, weâre out of their line of sight anyway!â kaveh raises his phone higher, almost giddily, eyes glued to the screen. âand damn this is a good angle.â
tighnari exhales sharply, âyouâre incorrigible.â
âlook whoâs talking,â cyno raises an eyebrow at tighnari⌠whoâs also peeking out from behind the bush. (what a hypocrite)
âŚ
âthey kissed oh my gââ kavehâs voice rises in disbelief, but cyno quickly covers his mouth with a swift hand. the three of them scramble to duck behind the bush just as you turn to glance in their direction.
(âis that⌠senior kaveh?â you squint your eyes, âcyno, and tighnari?âÂ
alhaitham clears his throat before glancing over at his friends with a deadpan expression. âyes and unfortunately, theyâre very invested in my personal life. so please donât mind them."
you laugh, finding the whole situation a bit too amusing. ânot in the slightest, but iâm sure theyâll never let you hear the end of it.â)
EPILOGUE: IN EVERY LANGUAGE, I HEAR LOVE YOU.
âhow long?â
you blink, feigning confusion. âhow long what?â
alhaithamâs eyes narrow slightly, an expression you know well. âhow long have you understood everything iâve been saying?â
you bite back a smile and offer a small shrug, â...ever since you started?âÂ
his lips press into a thin line, and for a moment, you canât tell if heâs upset or impressed. then, he sighs, almost amused. âand you let me embarrass myself all this time?â
âyou were being honest,â you shrug, a smirk forming. âplus i knew youâd figure it out eventually.â
he huffs a quiet laugh, shaking his head. âmay ideya ka ba kung ano ginawa mo?"
do you have any idea what youâve done?
"mas lalong umibig sakin?"
made you fall in love with me even more?
you tease, but thereâs a tenderness in your voice that softens the edge of your words.
âyes, and you really are insufferable,â he mutters with no malice. his tone is different now. softer. warmer, even.
you lean in slightly, a playful glint in your eyes. âthatâs not what i heard you say before.â your fingers graze the skin of his cheek before you tenderly pinch it, giggling softly at the reaction you provoked.
in one smooth motion, he catches your hand before you can pull away and tugs you towards him, closing the distance between you in a heartbeat. you tilt your head back to meet alhaithamâs gaze.
youâve often thought heâs the most-perfect boyfriend, undeniably handsome in every way âbut thereâs really just one flaw: his height.
âugh, youâre too tall," you grumble, rubbing the back of your neck. "iâm having a neck sore just looking at you."
he quirks an eyebrow at your sudden words. âyou could use a stepstool.âÂ
"or," you counter, "you could get on your knees and save me the trouble.â
he slowly lets out a breath, his lips curling ever so slightly.Â
â'akida, 'antaziri hataa 'ashtari alkhatama.â
sure, just wait till i buy the ring.
"whâ"Â
he crosses his arms, "whatâs wrong? isnât that what people expect when someone gets on their knees?"
you roll your eyes, half-smiling. "fine, then iâll eagerly wait for that day.â
his gaze softens as his hand reaches up, brushing a stray lock of hair from your face; his eyes drop to your lips for a moment, and you know whatâs coming even before he speaks.

Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3
"Why do you have to leave?" With a droopy face, you annoyingly complain- yet again -to your mom about her rude decision of abandoning you.
She rolls eyes- yet again -at your antics and continues to put up the last bits of groceries, "It's a simple work event, Y/N. I'm not sure why you're being so stubborn right now. Plus, you used to love when Sunghoon and his mother came over."
You shudder at the mere mention of his name, "That was before he became such a stuck up fucking prick-"
That line earns yourself a disapproving, 'Y/N!' and in turn you retract your statement with a couple of half-assed, 'sorry, sorry'.
Though, in your head, you knew you held back from saying worse things.
Your mother sighs deeply as she finishes shoving the last few items into the fridge before spinning around to face you, "I'm not asking a lot from you, just entertain the boy or something while we're out. Is that really too difficult?"
She lets her question hang in the air for a second, then proceeds to move from the kitchen to the living room. However, if she thought she could escape you, she would be dead wrong. Because you're not far from her in step.
"Okay, new question." You propose which earns another groan from Mom. You stop in place when she leans over to dust the couch off with her hands, " Since you and Mrs. Park are carpooling to the event, I understand why she's coming here. But does he really have to come too? Why can't he just stay at his own damn-.....d-dang, house?"
When she straightens herself out, she bears a look of plead in hopes that this is truly the last of your inquiries, "His mother is the one who suggested it. And if we're being truthful, you and Sunghoon used to be so......" she pauses, looking for the right word, "....so cute when the two of you were close."
A hand flies to your mouth as you internally gag at your mother's words. Cute? Maybe 10 years ago, when you both were still in elementary. But that was before he had the chance to grow into his unbearably horrid of a personality.
Granted, you partly blamed his high school friend group for his abominable transformation. While, yes, you did agree that Sunghoon just naturally held the asshole gene, you were also certain that hanging around and slinging dicks with stupid Sim Jake and stupid Lee Heeseung, surely wasn't going to help this fact either.
Disgusting pricks. All of them.
You lower your hand slowly, "Please don't remind me of that time."
"For the love of-" She excuses herself from your vicinity and struts back into the kitchen, "Honey, I don't understand how you could be acting like this. I thought once you two went off to university together, things would be different by this point."
Oh. It's different alright.
Instead of the harsher stares he used to simply give in high school, Sunghoon has upgraded his abrasiveness to terrible comments directed towards your character. Any chance possible, the two of you would butt heads even more than your previous encounters. On campus, in passing, at parties; if you saw him anywhere, you just knew something would be said.
On top of that, it also doesn't help that his buffoon bunch of friends followed him to the same college as you. And, you had to see them everywhere.
You figured once you came home, you could enjoy a week of internal peace. Free from the many stressors that come with university. Now, your mother seems to disregard any of your warnings and wants to let the main stressor inside of your house?
"Can I add as well," she speaks up in the absence of your voice- you had been too busy pouting- "I know the two of you share the same English class, and according to his mother, he's been excelling at his papers."
At the insinuation, your mouth drops agape, however, she disregards the reaction and continues on, "You can ask for some pointers from him."
"Absolutely not." There was no way that could've been an option. Firstly, you would never hear the end of it from Sunghoon: âOh, you want help from me? I didnât realize you were so awful at this,â and then it probably wouldâve been followed up with, âWell, I canât say Iâm too surprised. Youâre not theâŚbrightest person Iâve met.â
Annoying bastard.
He would never let you live that down, and frankly, you didn't want to give him anymore ammo to shoot you in the face with. Henceforth, that couldnât be an option. Not if you wanted to keep your sanity.
Your mother regards you intently, and slowly begins to shake her head. She couldn't do it anymore, didn't know what more to say; a wall has clearly been put up and you are as strong as steel, not letting anything through. As she's left puzzled on how to refute your statement, a ping from her phone catches her eye briefly.
She casts her gaze downwards, keeps it there for a few seconds, and then she's looking back up at your contorted face.
"Well, sweetie,â a strained smile begins to spread, âYou should probably fix that attitude of yours. They just got here." The doorbell ringing acts as a nail in the coffin, confirming your mother's words.
âYouâve got to be-â
She interrupts your complaining to tell you to get the door, so she can run upstairs and grab her purse. You're quick to bellow out a groan, but she's even quicker to shut that down, and instructs you to do it immediately while half-way up the staircase.
Once she disappears, you amble sluggishly towards the front, and as you're about ready to swing it open; a long, harsh breath is exhaled from the other side followed by a grumble.
"You better be nice to her or I swear Sunghoon...."
It's Mrs. Park, who's voice seemed to have a combination of both sincerity and aggression laced in it. Your eyebrows furrow, listening harder.
"Yeah, yeah. Be nice to the brat, I heard you the first 4 other times." He finishes with his own irritated huff.
Your expression goes wide at that. Is he fucking serious? Did he really just call you a brat? You. A brat? You're mind relishes in disbelief.
"Sunghoon!" His mother responds with, and more indistinct talking arose. However, while their voices grew quieter your annoyed levels skyrocketed. You begin to think that it's quite plausibleâŚ.someone might die tonight.
"Y/N! Did you grab the door yet?" Your mom yells from her bedroom.
You do a double-take as you match her volume, "I'm doing it right now!"
Unbolting the locks, you pull back the piece of wood to reveal a very eager Mrs. Park, staring at you with smiley eyes. Sweeping your gaze right, there stood the ever straight-faced and stoic Park Sunghoon.
Even as you do a once over at his appearance- black hair fringed on his forehead, hands shoved into his long, sleek coat, and black sweats that barely poke out from underneath -you find it so, incredibly jarring that this came out of the always cheery Mrs. Park.
He didn't even try to smile, unlike you who beamed out a grin towards them, "Hello Mrs. Park! It's been so long since I last seen you.â
Dissimilar to her son, Mrs. Park is ready to envelope you into a warm hug. She extends her arms out and the two of you intertwine in a genuine and comforting embrace.
"Oh! Y/N! It truly has been a while," when she draws back, you watch her scan your face with an affectionate smile, "You just get more and more beautiful every time I see you." At the last second, she peeps over towards her son for encouragement, "Right, Hoonie? Doesn't she look lovely?"
His impassive eyes regard his mother, then ever so leisurely does he drag them onto your stature. The moment eye contact is made, you shift anxiously. Because why the hell is he looking at you like that?
You start to play with the hem of your oversized hoodie, which flowed nicely into your oversized sweatpants. Anyone with eyes could tell youâre not dressed for company. Hair messy from laying around, hardly any make-up on.
Clearly, you werenât expecting anyone today. Nonetheless, someone who took so much pride in his appearance. You almost felt jealously from it. Like heâs somehow proving the point that heâs better in almost every way- clothing included. Itâs infuriating.
With a single look up and down, Sunghoon cocks his head slightly before giving his answer, "No."
Intense bickering between mother and son start up, and you're left standing with a twitching eye of vexation as already you sense your patience running thin. Your fingers curl inwards to form a fist. It hasnât even been 30 seconds and you feel like punching him.
"I am so sorry about him, Y/N. I don't- I don't know what his problem is..." She stops midway to address another mumble from the boy. The two have a minor quarrel this time, and then sheâs back to focusing on you, ".....ah, may we come in?"
It takes your full strength to squeak out an, 'absolutely', despite your innate feelings. With a step back, you widen the door to appear more welcoming and the two of them step inside of your house.
Mrs. Park instantly calls out to your mother, with her shouting back at Mrs. Park, and when it's Sunghoon's turn to walk past, you couldn't help but notice the somewhat aggressive breeze he emits as he pushes through you.
A part of you couldâve sworn you also heard him mutter something in passing, but regardless, you decide to let that go instead of calling him out. Taking in a deep breath and exhaling, you hope to soothe the ever growing nerves thatâs been caused so far.
Remember, self-control. Right, that is a thing and you are more than capable of exhibiting it. So, keep your cool. Try not to blow up. At the very least, if not for yourself, then for the sake of both your mother and Mrs. Park.
Yes, for them. You can do this for them. Just simply donât engage and all will be well.
You repeat this to yourself a few more times as you close the door. All will be well if you let it be. Now feeling better, you flip around to see your mom make a descent back down into the living room, a purse now dangling from the crevice of her elbow.
She sashays up to Sunghoonâs mother, and the two women squeal in delight as they engulf one another. Itâs admirable how much they care for each other, proving why they became such good coworkers then friends. You also find it adorable how similar their outfit choices are, with both of them sporting a dark blue dress.
Once they part, your mother turns her attention over towards the previously brooding boy. Though, you find it interesting how Sunghoon seems to have an easier expression now.
"Sunghoon, you're too tall! How am I supposed to reach you?" She gushes while brining him in for hug. A light chuckle dances out of him, and after a brief second they're pulling back from one another. Mrs. Park jumps in on the conversation about her son.
They begin to go on and on about all of his accomplishments; 'Oh! Sunghoon I heard you're doing excellent in your courses,' and, 'You are so involved with the community, itâs wonderful to see that someoneâs trying.â Itâs sickening to see the immediate chokehold he has on the women, you observing the conversation emotionlessly.
After their near 20 minute rant (or what felt like it) finally your mother remembers your presence and decides to rope you in. She ushers you to come closer, and after a hasty back and forth, you scoot only mere inches into the circle, closer to him.
"You've been scoring well on your essays, Sunghoon, isn't that right?" Your mom starts and you want to scream right then and there.
He affirms her question with a swift nod, "Yes. I have."
"I don't think he's gotten below a 91 on his papers." Mrs. Park chimes in, and you secretly curse your mother for where this topic is about to go.
Your mom's eyes brighten as she looks over to Sunghoon, "That's amazing to hear. Actually, I think Y/N could use some tips on a few of her past works. She's been getting marked off on nearly every single one of them and could use the help!"
He hums in amusement, raking his eyes until they rest on your scowl. You feel his stare on you as you cross your arms and side step away from him, "Was that necessary to bring up?â
"Oh," your mother waves a dismissive hand, "Nonsense, sweetie. I'm sure a few pointers from this one will help raise that C- you have."
"Mom!"
Before you could object any further, a gasp leaves Mrs. Park's mouth and quickly sheâs pulling your mother off to the side. She just remembered some news from work. While the two women chat, youâre left to stand idly, eyes darting off to the side while a wave of quietness engulfs the air. Sunghoon remains silent, as well.
You sure as hell hadnât planned on talking to him and if that meant silence would be bestowed, then so be it. Itâs for the better, anyways. Youâre trying a new approach at things, and if you're forced to converse with him, youâre afraid itâll lead to someone getting choked out. Not you, by the way. SoâŚto avoid conflict, silence it is.
A short sigh from Sunghoon interrupts your thinking. You do a quick glance up at the..irritatingly tall boy, and see his gaze is turned all the way left, side-profile on display for you. He mustâve picked up on your hostility, which is why he has not said anything, you believe. Good. He should know better than to get you riled-
âYou have a C- in that class? Are you serious?â
Perplexed, you raise your eyebrows from the sudden outburst, âExcuse me?â
Is he really trying to start this right now?
He keeps his head faced away from you, then at the last second he twists it back and you see a new expression dawns on him. That of complete arrogance, âEnglish Literature is a stupid easy class. Iâm surprised to hear youâre doing poorly.â
As you open your mouth to shut up him, he proceeds further with his berating, âThen again,â he lets out a dry laugh, âI guess I shouldnât be so shocked that you need me. Youâve always fell short when it came to academics.â
Sunghoon watches your face morph into pure anger, and as sick as it may be for him to admit it, this is where he finds true enjoyment. In the reactions you always give in the moments you feel wronged.
You do a short shuffle as you feel yourself releasing the chains of self-control. You knew he would act this way. He always does.
âOkay, so Iâm not doing well,â you state matter-of-factly, âSo. Fucking. What? Iâd rather have a shitty grade in this class than beg some snobby prick for aid.â
You tried to hold back.
At the sudden drop of name calling, a bitter grin erupts onto his lips, âLike you deserve my help.â
âFor the record, I never asked for it,â you throw a hand up as new found confidence starts to build up in your core, âBut trust me. If I really needed you, then I would make you fucking help me.â
His eyes widen from your accusation, âYou really think I would tend to you? Knowing your unruly attitude?â Disbelief switches onto his face, his thick eyebrows creasing together uncomfortably, âGod. Youâre such a brat.â
And just like that, you hit a snapping point. Without wasting another second, you begin to hurl every insult in the book his way, your rage boiling past whatever containment you thought you had. Heâs ready to argue back at you when a light shriek stops both of you mid sentence.
"Oh, we need to get a move on it. I didnât even realize the time. Itâs about to be 7.â Your mother comments and you almost retort it with a snide remark on how inquisitive she's been about Sunghoon's life.
Mrs. Park trots her way towards the door, saying her final goodbye to her son along the way. Your mother shares her own words of departure, though it's mixed with your protest on her leaving.
"Alright kiddos, we'll try not to be too long." She speaks with one foot out the door, "Y/N, please treat our guest kindly."
You give the boy, who's now walked up and standing to the side of you, a deathly glower, "Get him the fu-"
"Y/N. Kindly, please." She reiterates with a sweet bite, and to that you could only sigh defeatedly.
Mrs. Park is not far behind your mother as she twists to address Sunghoon one last time, "Honey, please be-"
"Be nice, I know." He finishes in a sort of annoyed tone. Though after that, being nice is the last thing she would need to worry about.
With more reassurance, the two women give each other a passing glance, and soon after another round of goodbyes, the door closes shut.
Leaving you trapped here with your absolute nightmare.
With a deep groan, you stagnantly turn towards Sunghoon just as heâs twisting his body to reluctantly face you. Peering up through your eyelashes, you make absolutely sure he feels the unwelcomed signals radiating off of you as you go to speak.
"Stay the fuck away from me."
His eyes roll nearly out of their sockets as he starts to slip off his coat, "What happened to being kind to your guests?"
He mocks the words that were handed to you, and your eyes narrow while watching him hang the jacket on a nearby rack.
You notice his shirt of choice- now on display -is a tight black T-Shirt, curving and outlining all of the spots you hate the most about him. God, you think you just got even more annoyed.
Turning your nose upwards, you start to inch closer towards the staircase, "I couldn't care less about that, if I'm being completely honest." You do a full twirl so all Sunghoon can see is your back, "Hereâs what you can do: either entertain yourself in the living room or get the fuck out. Choose whatever you want as long as it doesnât involve me.â
He goes tight-lipped. You are just the epitome of an ungrateful little brat, holy fuck. Sunghoon shoots his vision away with a brief head shake. Despite his growing emotions, he knows it will be better to not engage. He really didnât feel like fighting with you right now. Like how you both always manage to do.
Clearing his throat, Sunghoon begins to walk slowly towards the couch, his upper muscles flexing with every step, "Whatever. I'm not dealing with you tonight."
That makes you halt in your tracks. Dealing with you? What? Like you're some untrained puppy?
"No, I'm not dealing with you tonight,â you sneer back then scoff, retreating upstairs once again, âJust fucking stay down here and we wonât have any more problems.â
His back hits the couch cushion with a flop as he starts to call out to you, âRight. Itâs not like the problem isn't taking itself upstairs at the moment!"
Oh, that touched a nerve. So much so that you find yourself shouting from the second story, having made it up there a few seconds prior, âYou shouldâve just stayed at your own fucking house!â
"Do you ever stop fucking talking?â He raises his voice back at you; maybe not quite to the extent of your screaming, but nonetheless you could hear him from upstairs.
Upon entering your room, you slam the door shut with all your might. You swear you even felt the floor shake from the force. Pissed doesnât even begin to describe your emotions currently. Youâre at a whole new level.
You're fuming. Chest huffing, fists clenched, ooh- you've never met someone who irked as badly as fucking Park Sunghoon had.
Why? Why? Why did he have to be in your home right now? Why did your mother think this was a good idea? And why did he have to look so nice with his stupid shirt and black joggers?
You begin to pace around your room.
He's messing with you, clouding your head with complex thoughts. If there's one thing you loathed most about the boy downstairs it's his ability to turn your brain to mush.
It's like all thoughts and rationality fly out of the window, and instead is replaced with....just nothing. Nothing but anger, resentment, and a tiny bit of something else however you're willing to suppress that for the time being.
You bring a thumb up to stroke your lip. Mind racing, your brain starts to piece together what you should do to alleviate this stress. You're going crazy, you recognized that, and youâre certain a distraction is needed for you to get your thoughts cleared.
As you think back to all that has you feeling so jumbled, a sudden surge runs throughout your core. No. You know what your body is attempting to do. And itâs not going to work. Even as another hits you and makes your thighs clench unwillingly, you hold on to your determination.
You canât do it, you tell yourself. Especially when Sunghoonâs downstairs. Itâs ridiculous. Unfathomable. There is no way you wouldâŚ..
Moments later, you find yourself completely and utterly naked in your bed, deciding the best way to calm down is by having aâŚ.release. Your pulses started became too unbearable to ignore, leaving you with only one option. This option.
Is it the most convenient method of stress relieving? Well, probably not. But, truly, in times where youâre free to strip bare and dish out a quickie, you always find it leaves your mind feeling blissful.
And you desperately need that right now, because in all honesty, you arenât sure what the hell youâre feeling right now due to Sunghoon.
As your brain is beginning to wonder, you absentmindedly brush the backs of your fingers against your lower stomach. Park Sunghoon. The name is like poison in your head, and you canât find the damn cure for some reason.
Your hand drops a little lower. Thinking back on your most recent argument, you remember the eye contact you two held, before forcing yourself to break free from his gaze. You tilt your head, the memory becoming even more clear. That damn gaze.
âŚ..if only he could use it from a different angle.
A sharp exhale flies out of your mouth as you realize youâve made contact with your clit. Youâre lighting swarming around the area while it continues to throb enticingly. A different angle? LikeâŚ.one where heâs in between your legs, staring at you with those stupid fucking know-it-all eyes.
Your body responds well to that imagination, your hips slightly bucking into your hand to garner some friction. Would you two be on the bed? No, you think you like the idea of getting him on his damn knees and making him eat you out nice and slowly while on floorâŚa whole lot better.
Heâd tried to take control, you already know his arrogant ass would. Yet, in reality, you will be the one calling the shots. If he starts to suck a little too much for your likings, one hair tug and heâll slow down. Cause heâll listen to you, youâll make sure of it.
A small smile cracks out onto your face, focusing deeply on your sprouting pleasure. Yeah, you like the Park Sunghoon in your imagination a lot better than the one real life. Your fingers are now circling the bud, producing ripples of sensation that keeps your movements and thoughts going.
Heâll keep his attention fixed on you the whole time heâs devouring you, you assume. Because if thereâs one thing about Sunghoon, heâll love to see you come undone at the cause of him. Would love to see that sexy ass face you make right before you orgasm.
And the way your thighs will squeeze around his cheeks so perfectly, oh fuck him. Heâd get so fucking horny from just tasting your sweet, sweet pussy.
Shutting your eyes, your vision explodes with images of your lewd thoughts, playing out your ideal fantasy. You can hear yourself start to whimper while your pelvis becomes more sporadic in the way it chases the coming feeling.
At the minute you tell him youâre close, heâd latch onto your clit, no plan on stopping. Scratch that, he probably couldnât stop himself from finishing you out. Youâve been treating him so well up until this point. Letting him cum inside you, in your mouth; the least he could do is give you a head-splitting orgasm.
You rub your soaking cunt all over the palm of your hand, desperation coursing through your veins. Imagine annoying little Sunghoon, whoâs only wish is for you to cum. To cum all over his face, down his own throat. Heâs on his knees below you because he wants the full effect of seeing how much youâre letting yourself go from his tongue.
Then, with one long sucking motion, youâd fall apart. With your orgasm hitting you dead on your clit, youâd start to quiver on top of him while screaming out, âSo fucking good, So fucking good. Fuck, youâre making me cum.â
Your hand speeds up to have you cumming alongside your scenario, your own real orgasm washing over you deliciously. It leaves your body stuttering and eyes rolling back into your head as you continue to work at your pussy during the duration. And all you could think about was how much you fucking hated stupid Park Sunghoon.
Once your high comes down, you firstly lay in your bed to recover. That had to have been one of your best and strongest impromptu session. Fuck, did you enjoy every part of it.
True to nature, as well, your mind is so foggy from the haze that you canât even recall your earlier fury, which is now replaced with a more simple feeling: lust. You bask in the warmness thatâs spreading and also give your cunt a chance to get desensitized, before swinging your legs off of the bed and walking over to your dresser.
It was starting to get hot with your thick layers on anyways, which is why you opt for thinner clothes. You pull out a pair of cotton shorts that stop upper thigh on you, and then a cropped T-shirt for simple comfort.
Needing to wash your hands quickly, you swiftly run into the connected bathroom to your room, lather your hands in soap and soon youâre rinsing yourself off. When finished with that, you smile contently as you walk back to your bedroom and flop down stomach first onto the mattress.
You really did feel better. Your anger has subsided by now, the orgasm keeps your mind still a bit dizzy, there were no complaints to be had. Now, you planned on spending the rest of your evening locked up in here so you can continue feeling as such. Boom, simple as that.
A loud buzz from your phone on the nightstand has you scrambling to reach it, that giddy feeling not once leaving. Though, once you flip it over to reveal a text from your mother, you feel your smile drop immediately.
8:09 PM
Mom:
Hey sweetie, just wanted to do a quick check-in on the two of you. I hope everything's going okay.
You begin to type out a borderline aggressive message back, something along the lines of how everything was not going okay, but another message swooshes in before you could even finish your own.
After doing some rethinking, you donât need to ask Sunghoonie for help anymore. It wasnât fair of me to put you in that position without asking you first. Youâre old enough to make your own decisions now, and if you think youâll be okay without asking him for help, then you can decide that. Iâm sorry for making you feel as if you never had a choice.
You stop your rant midway, and look closer at the message. Oh. Oh. OhâŚ.
âMomâŚâ With a frown, you watch as yet another message flies across your screen, and you find that youâre a bit more accepting of this one.
8:14 PM
Mom:
But, I do want to make sure that you are trying with Sunghoon. I understand as of right now, it may be difficult to do so, you two are apparently quite hostile. However, Iâm asking if you can extend the white flag, at least for tonight. Make sure heâs not hungry, maybe you two can put on a movie downstairs. Just try and be cordial, thatâs my only request. Can you do that?
Stomach churning, you begin to gnaw on your bottom lip right now, those complex emotions rising up again. Dammit. You seriously thought nothing more would come out of this situation tonight. You thought once you had yourâŚ.release, you would be able to relax freely without any stressors.
But then you reread her latest text, and guilt surfaces in your heart. MaybeâŚyou havenât been putting in as much effort as you could have; you did just leave the boy downstairs to fend for himself. Is it possible for you to set your very, very strong feelings and justâŚsuck it up for the sake of your mother?
You were accepting of this feat earlier.
A quick scroll up has you revisiting the first large paragraph she sent you, the one that acknowledges your feelings. Your mother is trying right now, and you register that it would be unfair of you to not try as well.
8:20 PM
Y/N:
okay mom, i can do that for you.
You're downstairs before you know it. After many, many, many mental preparations, you now feel ready to be within the same space as the devi- Park Sunghoon.
Approaching your living room, the pale yellow lighting illuminates Sunghoon's backside, giving you a clear view of him. With one defined arm stretched out on top of the cushion, Sunghoon seems entranced with the movie playing on T.V, not appearing to have noticed your presence.
You shuffle your feet against the floor until you slow to a halt. In the span of your waiting, not once does he turn around. The movie must be drowning out your existence. Pivoting, you opt to round out the couch and stand in the middle for visibility. Sunghoon keeps his eyes trained forward. Surely, he feels your presence now, even if he may not be acknowledge it.
Sticking your hip, you gently clear your throat, "Ahem."
He throws a cruel glare over his shoulder before reverting back to his previous position, no comment to be left from him. You're standing still, okay then...
You dart your eyes away to view something else, then sweep them back over to his body, âAre youâŚhungry?â
A look of bewilderment dawns on his face as he shoots you a perplexed look, âWhy are you asking me that? Wouldnât you rather have me starve?â
âI-â you try to rebuttal his claim, but incriminatingly you start to avoid eye contact with him, âNo. Not necessarilyâŚâ
Yeah-fucking-right. He highly doubts that's true. Instead of replying, Sunghoon turns back towards the television. Silence remains. You follow his eyesight to watch a couple of seconds of the movie. Well, so much for trying.
You continue to stand awkwardly, wrapping your arms around your torso and rocking yourself back and forth slightly. Just try. Just try. Just. Try.
"Park Sunghoon." You mumble out and he snaps his attention towards you. If not for your eyes lurching up to look at the ceiling, then maybe you would have noticed the surprise once over he does to your outfit.
âWhat?â
You look down again, and try to shake the embarrassment thatâs clawing at you. Just try, âC-Can I watch this with you?â Holy fuck that felt harder to say.
Sunghoon squints his eyes as he tries really hard to figure out what the hell is your deal. Merely an hour ago, the two of you were having a screaming match, and now youâre fidgeting and asking to be in the same room as himâŚ.willingly?
He doesnât buy that for a second.
He drags his pupils up and down your frame, his greedy eyes wanting to drink in more of it, but at the realization of what he was doing, he forces himself to look away. Willingly? Yeah, no. He figures your mother would be the cause for this. Only reason he says this: his own mom sent a text not too long ago telling him to try harder with you. AndâŚit appears you are at least doing something.
With a rough sigh, Sunghoon decides to not say anything else, but rather signals you to sit down with a single quick head tilt. Your face grimaces at his cave-man like gesture, and although you went slowly about it, you do as he says and take a seat.
You snuggle deeper into the couch cushion, and allow your body to relax. Youâre so used to being on guard whenever around Sunghoon, it feels almost natural to stiffen up. Letting yourself relinquish this tension built up in your muscles, you find it easier to keep your cool.
Dropping your arms to your side, you start to focus harder on the movie and less on the boy sitting next to you. Does it slightly freak you out that his fingertips are only centimeters away from your shoulder? Yes. But for the most part, you can sense this isâŚ.tolerable. As if for once, you donât feel like biting Park Sunghoonâs head off.
Minutes turn into over an hour this movie has been on, and both you and Sunghoon have managed to not get into a single argument. You arenât sure when the last instance of this was. Elementary, maybe? Regardless, youâre at ease.
Your arm is propping your head up as you watch the characters on screen. The movie, though you never asked for its name, was some romantic comedy. You picked up on this fact a few minutes into watching it. And, wow, were they intense on the romance.
You couldnât even count the amount of make-outs that has happened since youâve been watching. You almost want to say 8 so far- oh, make it 9 now.
The lead characters are on their 9th kissing scene, stumbling around and fondling one another in the bathroom at some house party. You watch closely, part of your brain now heightened. The male actor is kissing the female until her ass touches the sink, and then heâs hoisting her up so she can sit on the counter.
Your face contorts unpleasantly. The scene further plays out to where the girl is begging the man for sex, desperate to have him inside of her, and you feel your mouth go dry.
This is beginning to hit a little too close to home for your likings, with a dusted memory you swore to bury attempting to resurface. You push the thoughts aways. Not now.
Trying to ignore the random squeeze your legs do, you tell yourself to ignore the familiarities and simply focus on the movie. However, at the moment the man grips the the womenâs throat and she moans intensely, you nearly freeze. Yeah, you canât watch this anymore.
With an airy voice, you keep your eyes fixed on the T.V to seem passive, âChange it to something else.â
âWhat?â Sunghoon doesnât glance over to you, also keeping his gaze forward, âWhy?â
You scoff lightly. Why canât he just listen to you? Whatâs with the interrogation? âYou always ask so many questions. Just change it.â
To that he responds with nothing. Youâre not giving him a proper response, so why should he listen to you? He remains engrossed in the movie.
When a few notable beats pass, you crane your neck over to his direction with a scrunched faced, âYah. Did you hear me? I said put on something else.â
He briskly whips his head to meet your eyes, his dark eyes boring harshly, âI donât care what you have to say. Iâm not changing it.â
Fed up with him, you reach over to grab the remote when he obtains it first. You glare menacingly at Sunghoon, while he mocks your expression, then holds the remote high above, taunting you. His slender fingers harboring it only fuels your anger, which grows hotter by the second.
âDonât piss me off.â You warn with undertones of a threat, as you climb over him to reach for the device. He extends it further away from your grasp.
âOr what?â
Bobbing the remote over your head, he just knew you were going to lose your cool at some point. Thatâs what all whiny brats do when they never get their way; they throw tantrums.
âJust fucking put on something else!â You scream, fighting him for the remote.
You donât care if you can feel your shorts start to ride up into your butt, or if your boobs are being shoved up against Sunghoonâs body. You donât care that youâre basically on top of him, trying to win this remote, because all rationality has exited your head.
You ask him to do one simple thing, and he fucking couldnât. Then, he wants to tease you and make fun of you? You tried, you think back to your motherâs message, and in your mind the exchange begins to burn. You really fucking tried, but thisâŚarrogant bastard just always makes it so damn hard.
He shakes the little strands of hair away from his face as he narrows his eyes brutally towards your squirmy body, âWhat the fuck is your deal? Youâre telling me your whore ass canât handle one god damn sex scene?â
This time you donât say anything back to him, instead your intention remains on getting the fucking remote. He takes your lack of response as an opportunity to dig further at you.
âReally? Youâre going to act like that?â He spews out more comments while continuously keeping the control from getting in your reach, âI find it hard to believe youâre freaking out-â
âDamn brat. Youâve been needing this fucking for a long time, havenât you?â
At the line of dialogue, Sunghoon shifts his attention towards the scene being played out, one of which the girl is now bent over the sink with the man pounding roughly into her backside. And with the combination of the manâs words and the stimulating scene, his eyes widen as he finally realizes what the core problem is.
A wave of deja vu hits him. A few months ago, he had you in a damn near similar position to that on the TV, even saying similar phrasing. The two of you had been drunk off of your minds, resulting in the memory being blocked from his head.
âWhat the fuck?â He mumbles, letting his guard down, giving you the chance to swoop upwards and snatch the remote away. All scattered-brain, you press the power button and watch as the TV powered down.
âSee.â You grit through your teeth, throwing the remote down in the meantime, âI told you. I told your dumbass to fucking change it. But, no. You didnât want to listen to me.â
His own chest starts to burn with aggression at your words, and he looks over to you angrily, âWill you just shut the fuck up? My god, youâre so annoying.â
âWhat? Mad because I was right?â You fake a pouty voice, your eyes going all doey while regarding him before swiftly fixing your face, âI never want to think about that night, and here you go, basically parading it in my face. And based off of your reaction, I can tell you hate thinking about it too.â
Sunghoon sits up from off of the couch, and brings his forearms to rest against his knees. That night was full of mistakes. Jake inviting him to that dumb ass party, Heeseung feeding him back to back shots of some sort of alcohol. The kind of of alcohol that forces you to act on thoughts that otherwise would've been suppressed.
The memories all rush back to him. The moment he saw you at the party, laughing and dancing around in that tiny fucking dress. It was like right then and there, his views on you changed. Instead of dismissing your presence, he found himself drawn to it. Instead of ignoring the silhouette of your body, he allowed himself to watch every single part of you.
When throwing all caution to the wind and deciding to walk up to you, he remembers you being equally as wasted as himself. That hadnât stopped you from throwing an immediate snarl at his approach, however. Although the interaction started with you two bickering, as always- the evening had ended so much differently.
He remembers it all. Moving from the main room to the bathroom, still jabbing insults at each other. How from one second to the next, your dress was now hiked up above your hips. The touching, the teasing, how hard the two of you came. The whole scene plays out in his head, and for some reason, Sunghoon canât stop it.
You snide in another comment which breaks his thoughts, âYeah, I guess Iâd be mad too if I were you. You basically threw yourself at me and begged to fuck me. Itâs pathetic how desperate you were.â
Now, youâre really heated. You rise to your feet in seconds and march over to stand above him, feeling reminiscent of your previous imagination. At the noticeable imbalance, the same satisfaction from earlier mixes with your current anger.
It spreads across your chest as you lour down at him, watching him bring a hand over his mouth, âFor a change, you donât have anything to say, is that why youâre silent? Did I finally get you to shut up?â
At the quietness that lingers in the air, you press further to elicit a greater reaction. Bursting out more and more taunts, you knew this is where you found enjoyment, watching him spiral and be confused by his own thoughts. Youâre proud to make him feel just as perplexed as you were the whole night.
Youâre ready to throw another insult his way when his tall body shoots up into the air, looming over you. His eyes are rage-filled, you can see that, and reactively you backpeddle just as he rushes closer to you.
âY/N, I swear to fucking god. Youâre going to make me lose my mind.â
For a brief second, your hard exterior falters. His warning is low- almost growl like. It intimidated you initially, but then swiftly you regain composure and stand your ground, âYou make me lose my mind all the time. So what? Youâre not special.â
You audibly hear his breathing, and it begins to sync up with your own heavy pants. Both of you are pissed, that much is clear. Itâs just about who is going to crumble first. And surely, it wonât be you.
Heâs got a crazy look to his eyes, âIâm telling you right now. Shut. Up.â
You knew better than to challenge him. You knew you should walk away and storm upstairs. Exit the situation before matters get even worse. Quite literally anything else should be done, than the actions you decide to take.
You close the distance between you both, smiling the whole time as he brings his head in to regard you. At the recognition of that sick, sick smile youâre showcasing, he too knew it would be over.
Your voice starts off quiet, whispering out a, âWhat will happen if I donât?â before absolutely losing it in his face, âJust face it, Sunghoon. You're not the perfect person you portray yourself to be after all. I mean, fucking the person you hate most at a party? Even that's a new low for you."
You hover below his face, stretching your body tall until your noses are almost touching, "I'm tired of you pretending to be higher than everyone else. Always treating people like theyâre twenty feet below you. Youâre vile and I think it's time you realized.....maybe you're the fucking problem. Hmm? Did you not think of-?"
Sunghoon doesn't know what came over him. One second, you're throwing words after words at him, and next thing he knows, he's pushing you up against the wall, knocking the wind out of you.
His veiny hands are curled around your neck, and your mouth hangs from shock at the sudden movement while he holds you firmly in your place. The pressure he's applied is not enough to significantly hurt you, he made sure it didn't, but was definitely enough to finally get you to stop talking.
You gasp lightly and your head feels faint.
"Do youâŚremember how that night started?" His tone is dark with his focus solely on you. You try bringing your hands up to pry him off of you, but he doesn't budge, instead going to answer his own question, "Because if memory serves me right, you were the one who was desperate. Desperate for this.â
This referring to the minor squeeze his hand does around your throat. He continues, "You were the one who kept testing me. Wanted to see what would happen if you made me angry enough." The gap between you two closes when he draws himself inwards, making sure you heard this next part clearly, "Someone needed to shut that bratty ass mouth of yours up then," He drops his gaze to briskly look at your lips then jeers, "And right now."
While you're left to wear a poor, helpless expression, Sunghoon couldn't help but eye you curiously. It should be laughable the new state you're in. So completely different from your previous attitudes.
Using his hand to guide you, he roughly brings your head forward, so his mouth can brush the outer shell of your ear, "You really pissed me off, Y/N."
You get shoved back against the wall with a wince. "And... maybe that was your end goal with all of these arguments. You wanted to get me to this point." At the recognition of his own words, the wheels begin to turn in his brain. His eyebrows dart upward and a devilish smile tugs at his lips, "And to that, you're going to regret saying even one word tonight. I'll make sure of it."
Before you can react, Sunghoon crawls his hand up until it rests below your chin. As his thumb releases from your skin, and slowly works his way up to your lips, you think he'll be gentle in the way he's getting ready to touch you.
Oh, how wrong you were.
The moment his thumb comes in contact with your mouth, it's being shoved into your wet hole. You gag on the digit as he begins ordering you to suck, "Just needa fuck the bratiness out of you, then. Remind you of how much of a fucking slut you were for me that night."
He instructs you to go harder, and faster, and leisurely, you do so. Tingles start to form all around him, "Yeah. I'll do that. I'll just have to fuck you dumb myself, starting with your loud mouth."
You squeeze your eyes shut at the motion, coughing hard against his skin as his fingers move to tangle within your hair. Sunghoon always knew how catty you can be, this fact evident from what happened that night at the party.
However, what's also true, is that you do it for your own guilty pleasure. You purposely bring this upon yourself.
He yanks his thumb away and in return, you're inhaling harshly for air, "-what the fuck?"
Sunghoon dismisses your worries. Without warning, he has you falling to the ground with one swift push, his own desires now starting to throb inside his sweats, "Go on. Pull down my pants, brat."
He murmurs those words with a tilted face. In contrast, you look up at him as fear and lust begin to cloud your vision. Even with the menacing face he sports, you know you're not one to fully give-in. Especially when it comes to Park Sunghoon.
You aren't sure what it is about the defiance, but it makes you crazy, "Like hell-"
The grip in your hair tightens and your mouth drops from the pain. He regards your expression, "Really? Do you think you're in a position to object me right now?"
Lips parted, you shudder out a sigh while staring at Sunghoon's deep gaze. The stance he has you in makes your stomach erupt into butterflies.
"Pull my pants down." He repeats once again and after a pause, you eventually do so. With a tremble, you begin to bring both hands up and fondle the waistband, struggling to remove the barricade.
A tiny smile breaks out onto the boy's face. It's amusing how you pretend as if this wasn't the end prize. He watches you react disgustingly to his finally freed cock that springs forward, and it takes all of his power to not ram it into your ungrateful little mouth.
"What are you looking like that for? Aren't you a whore for my cock, Y/N?" He derides and thrusts himself towards your face. You try to create distance, but the hand in your hair keeps you in place, "Letâs go. Stop acting like that and take out your fucking tongue."
You hate yourself for listening to him.
With a small shiver, you unhurriedly extend your tongue from your mouth, and immediately he slaps his dick onto your muscle. He's had a great amount of pre-cum built up for some time now, starting from the minute you came down in that skimpy ass outfit. So, as soon as his dick hits your tongue, your taste buds are drowning in the liquid.
He's gasping lightly from the immediate sensation. He rubs his head all over your surface, then gradually does he start to slip himself in and out of your mouth. Your eyes go nearly white from trying to take his full length, but thatâs something that only makes Sunghoon hornier.
Youâre gargling around his skin as he proceeds to go faster, his base smacking against your chin every so often. Spit and his thick liquid mix to form a froth that starts to spill from the corners of your mouth, and Sunghoon groans lowly at how filthy you look.
âOhâŚfuck.â It feels too good, the rocking of his hips speeding up. Heâs enjoying the aggressive way he bucks himself harder and harder inside of your throat. And even as youâre thrashing beneath him, straining to get air, he finds that he didnât want to stop. It just turns him so damn much to see you take his fat cock.
He throws his head back, âKeep it open for me. Fuck- just keep that nasty mouth open.â
Youâre sick. Sick towards him for using you in such a degrading way, for letting him nearly cut off the circulation to your head. Right now, youâre nothing more than a fuck toy for him, and he doesnât even seem to care. Not when he has you as the perfect fucking stimulant.
Yet, youâre also sick at yourself. Itâs embarrassing that you notice your pussy clenching around nothing the longer he keeps this up. The fact that youâve become so dilated in your core that gravity has slick juices leaking from your entrance. All because of this asshole thatâs abusing your mouth, you're becoming aroused like never before. Itâs humiliating, really.
His movements begin to stutter with a vibration to his eyelids. Oh, fuck. He can feel his cum wanting to shoot out. Sunghoon continues to push your head into him as he internally debates at what the outcome should be. Thereâs still so much heâs wanting to do to you, to prove.
When you canât take the torture anymore, youâre soon hitting his leg to get him the hell away from you. Your reaction makes him realize how intrusive heâs starting to be, but he's so swirled with the immaculate pleasure that he almost didnât let go. Before he knows it, heâll be cumming down your throat at any moment.
Ripping himself from your suction, Sunghoon relinquishes you two from the torture. Ragged breathing emits from you as hungrily you take in the surrounding air. He, on the other, holds quieter breaths. A part of him is surprised that he was even willing to let himself finish so quickly. You were going to make him finish quickly.
With a few additional huffs, and after a moment of silence falls into the atmosphere, heâs ready to address you. Because heâs not done with you just yet.
âYah,â Thereâs a gasp to his tone while you glare up begrudgingly, âYou finally changed that attitude of yours?â
With your chest heaving up and down, you continue to stare angrily. Sunghoon cocks his head to the side while he awaits for your reply, though judging by the look you sport, he doesnât think itâll be the answer he wants.
âEat a fucking dick.â With a hoarse throat, you spit the phrase at him.
And. Snap.
Before you know it, Sunghoon is grabbing you by the hair and yanking you over to the couch with a stumble. He tosses your body face first into the cushion and you land with a soft groan.
âJust canât stop, can you?â He sees your ass recoiling from the previous motion and he swears it makes him go feral, "I'll just have to keep reminding you then."
In a flash, when you tried to push yourself up, he strikes a hand down to your cheeks. Your flesh jiggles with the audible slap and you're falling back down with a much louder moan.
âDid you like that?â Feigning stupidity, Sunghoon uses one arm to grab at your tiny shirt from the back, flipping you around till you laid chest-up sprawled out on the couch, "Do you want another?"
Eyes glossy with anger, you canât help but whimper as he lands a harsh smack to your clothed cunt. He repeats the motion in a harder manner once again, and this time youâre fighting back. You wriggle to close yourself off from him, but heâs fighting to keep your legs open. He's clasping your clit.
Your arms move in for attack, though heâs able to immobilize your hands by taking them with one grasp and holding them above your head. Youâre stuck now.
You squirm around, âI hate you.â
"Really?" unfazed by your words, Sunghoon simply gives your wet core a hearty squeeze, âWell, Iâm feeling that might not be true.â
Staring smugly, he keeps his eyes locked on your frantic gaze as he sweeps your shorts to the side. Wetness coats the tips of fingers in an instant and he hasnât even fully touched you. Fucking hell.
âRight. You hate so much.â Sarcasm oozes from his lips with every stroke his fingers give your pussy, and youâre left to do nothing but wiggle. He towers over your contorted body, loving how quickly he was able to put you down.
His fingers circle your lips teasingly before moving into your dripping entrance. He doesnât waste another second in shoving his digits in and out of your hole, eyeing the way you struggle to keep a straight face.
âS-So fucking annoying.â You stutter out, trying your absolute hardest to not slip and give him any further satisfaction of knowing he got to you.
Sunghoon takes this as a challenge. Leaning in closer, he changes the angle his fingers hit inside your squelching walls. His fingers gradually increase in pace until you're seeing stars. He continues to ram his digits inside of your pussy as they grow wetter and wetter. He keeps this up. And soon, your face morphs from that of resilience to a more natural state, your eyes lowering.
Oh, god. Your bodyâs succumbing to him. Itâs taking the pleasure produced by him and using it against you, dammnit it. What becomes worse is how your body begins to rock alongside his fingers, chasing the high thatâs ever growing in your system.
You howl, âFuck!â
His fingers feel like theyâre hitting your g-spot and now youâre a mess. Thrashing and twisting below him while he finger fucks your way to an orgasm. Your toes curl in the feelings thatâs wafting over you. Youâre losing control.
âGod, I hate you. I hate you so fucking much.â You grit out through clenched teeth, eyes now tightly shut as you concentrate on his wicked pounding, âCanât stand you. I-â
âYeah? Yeah?â His questions are disingenuous. He wants you to keep going. Keep digging yourself a grave.
âPiss me of so- ah! Fuck! Donât stop, donât stop.â The words topple from your lips without a thought. Your hips rut harshly into his fingers, so greedily, so close to basically squirting. By any second youâre going toâŚ.youâre going to-
Your body goes cold the minute Sunghoon snatches his fingers from you, abstaining you from the arousal you'd been subjected to. Screeching, you bellow out a desperate cry from how empty you feel.
He bores a look of apathy, indifferent to your flailing, "What? Did you think I would actually let you cum? After your shitty attitude all night?"
Reaching down, he adjusts your rigid body into a more elongated position, then he's straddling you, "I just needed to get you ready. Cause now I want to destroy you."
You want to slap him, your face growing hotter by the second. This night, you've spent it feeling nothing but rage and lividness because of the boy on top of you.
But then he's working to uncover your breasts, playing and squishing them with both palms, and momentarily your facade begins to fade.
He's hunched over in the way he's needlessly gunning for your neck, biting and marking every spot he could. You squeal from the pain, and that only pushes him further.
He circles around the same throat he held previously to leave splotches of red staining your skin. It's in this moment of daze, his rapture begins to enthrall him, causing his cock to throb and throb until it's hurting.
Sunghoon works his way up, passing by your chin until he's aggressively making out with you. All of the pent up tension and conflicts feels as if they're being spilled out within the rough kiss, and you wrap an arm around him and mewl needily into his breath.
You still hate him, even if his annoyingly perfect lips mold deliciously into yours. You still hate him, even as he expertly touches and grabs at your tits, providing more stimulation to your already horny self.
But even you can't deny the desperate longing your body seeks as his thick, hard skin prods at the entrance of your shorts right now. And he can't wait anymore.
"Mmm, ready for me?" He mumbles against your mouth, though he didn't necessarily care for a response. Because even if you were to protest, he knew it would just be another ploy at deflection.
He's back to kissing you. The aggression that's brought along with it could be mistaken for passion and it makes you weak. Right before he darts the fabric off to the side and ready to take you whole, you pull back slightly, wanting to say one more thing.
"I h-hate you so much," you whine and he could only laugh. You truly never know when to shut up.
"You've told me that a couple of times." Muttering back, he recaptures your mouth and without wasting another second his cock finally plunges into your deep pussy.
Your walls immediately grip him, and the two of you groan simultaneously into each other. He did a good job at prepping you; you're beautifully slick and warm, just the way he likes it.
His cock starts to thrust rhythmically, relieving the ache you both were so full of. You can't help the string of grunts that fall from your lips, all chopped from each hit he gives your pussy.
"S-Shit." Sunghoon detaches his mouth from yours to completely bask in the arousal that's coursing throughout him. It brings him back to that night.
The night where you bent your sexy ass over for him, and watched yourself in the mirror as he smashed into your backside. He was on Cloud 9 then, but now coherent and in the right head space, it's like the pleasure has doubled.
You, meanwhile, are having an internal battle with yourself. Holy shit. It feels so fucking good when he's pounding inside of you. You swear you're gonna cum at any point. But, there's still this sense of revulsion that bubbles in the pit of your stomach- because of the fact that you're allowing Park Sunghoon to fuck you so roughly.
"H-Hope you know- mmrgh! This is a-all your fault." You stammer out, eyes shutting forcefully on themselves, "You always c-cause problems. You're in the- you're in the-"
A hand comes down over your lips and shuts you up, your face relaxing into a state of bliss. You aren't sure why you always jumble out nonsense when in moments of euphoria. It's just as if....he's...
"I said I would fuck you dumb," Sunghoon sighs as his back lurches over to grind into your cunt at a different angle, "Guess I actually did."
Your response is muffled and buzzes into his skin. There are no intentions of uncovering himself, either. No way will he let this indescribable sensation be override by your loud ass, bratty ass mouth.
His hips continue to drive harshly into your liquified cunt, squelching and dripping the more he fucks himself into you. He only gets faster while you begin to grow limp. Your own pleasure starts to consume you until you don't have the willpower to move.
Sunghoon feels his cock start to twitch, "About to cum," he moans near your ear, "Can feel myself about to cum inside your dirty pussy. Are you close too?"
You shriek into his hand a multitude of yes's as you feel yourself so close to snapping. It's only a matter of time before you're losing control all at the hands of your actual worst nightmare.
He weighs his options, "Mmm....but should I? Do you deserve to orgasm with me?"
You'd despise not only him but yourself if you didn't. You're too far gone. The pleasure is catching up to you closer and closer, the more he buries himself damn near into your cervix. Waves after waves of ecstasy release into your core and you almost want to cry from how amazing it feels. So there's no fucking way you're going to miss this.
You never thought you would do this, but it's only a matter of time.
What sounds like your yes's transforming into pleads, Sunghoon scrunched his eyebrows, going to remove your hand. Are you....?
The moment your mouth is free you yell out a whimper, "Please. Please. 'm so close, Sunghoon. Sunghoon, please. I can't, I can't. I need this so bad."
Oh, fuck.
He'd never thought he'd see the day. He's never heard you beg before. The way his name sounds so good when you're pleading, how it squeals out from your lips. It makes his cock twitch once again and he's clenching his ass cheeks to stop him from popping a load right into you.
"You really want to?" He speaks quietly and more to himself, before deciding to give you what you want. Even brats can be rewarded.
He's pushing himself up and is now hovering over your face, his pelvis driving brutally into your core, "Okay. Okay, just let go. Cum for me."
You're so grateful you could kiss him. You let the slaps his skin produce fill you ears as you give yourself some slack for even letting this happen. You were about to cum because of Park Sunghoon, and there was nothing you wanted to do to stop it.
Sunghoon can't help but stare at your wavering face. Going from tight tension to relaxing and belting out a moan, your expressions keeps his eyes trained on you.
"Here, here. Faster, need you to cum right now." And almost like a present for you, Sunghoon brings a hand down to start massaging your clit, getting you to the very last point you needed to before exploding.
When his fingers circle rapidly against your nerves, combined with his pounding that has you babbling out nothing, your orgasm hits you so hard, starting from your pussy and running up into your head, making you dizzy. The moment causes you to starting quavering sporadically and mewing out, 'I'm cumming!'
That was what Sunghoon needed. Your orgasm causes your insides to start squeezing, pulsating around his cock so perfectly. At the third time he feels his cock beginning to twitch, he grants himself permission to let go. Next thing he knows, he's shooting out viscous ropes of cum into your velvety cunt, groaning about how perfect of a brat you are for him.
'Finally fucking listened'
'My perfect brat'
'God, you're amazing'
All is being said as you two finish out your orgasms. As he stutters above you, and you're quaking below him, you both seem to have finally found peace within being close to one another.
Which brings to an end this dirty, filthy night.

Your mother and Mrs. Park hadn't intended on being back at the house past midnight. But, how were they supposed to know the company gathering would be such a blast!
The event had the women interacting, mingling, dancing, singing with every single one of their coworkers until around 11:30 PM! And that was only because the event was over around then, they surely still had some more juice in their system.
By the time the two arrived back at your house, they'd been laughing hysterically to one another, unbeknownst to the absolute chaos that had ensued just hours earlier.
Your mother unlocks the door with her keys, and as they swing it open, they're met with a surprising scene in front of them.
Sunghoon, all wide awake, and sitting on the couch by his lonesome. The T.V is there to keep him entertained, but other than that, there were no signs that you were around. As Mrs. Park goes to greet her son, your mother stares at the boy with worried eyes.
"Oh, Sunghoon. Were you down here by yourself this whole time? Did Y/N not come down?" She walks up to him, though is quickly mollified when he's giving her a small smile.
"No, she did. We watched a film together, though half-way through it, she started to doze off. I had to carry her upstairs; she was so out of it." He nods softly at the end of his sentence and your mother reciprocates his delicate response.
It warms her heart to hear that you tried.
"Oh, Hoonie! I told you things would work itself out if you would just be nicer to the poor girl. You know how timid she can be." His mother pats at his shoulder, "Come on. Grab your shoes and I'll take us home."
"I'm happy you guys were able to have a nice night together." Your mother beams while walking alongside Sunghoon towards the front door, "Are you two okay now? Should I be expecting you back here more often?"
Sunghoon regards your mother, his own brain thinking at how to properly respond to that. It's not until he's slipped his shoes and coat on, and holding the door open for Mrs.Park to exit, before giving a proper answer.
"Yes, Miss, I believe we're just fine now.â
At the last second of his departure, his eyes catch sight of movement on the staircase. Having awoken from your slumber, you heard voices from downstairs and decided to investigate. Creeping around the top stairs, all you were met with was Sunghoon talking to your mother with one foot out the door.
You attempt to remain hidden behind the wall, waiting for him to leave. But, soon, you find his gaze moving slowly until it lands onto your face. He holds eye contact with you one last time, your stomach in knots from how compelling his essence is.
âI'll try to come back here more often," He steps his other foot outside as a faint grin overtakes his cheeks.
"Iâll make sure of it.â

the fucking. pope paper doll (poper doll???) froze my firefox so that all I could see was the pope's scary little face. make him go Away.
Task Manager Kill This Pope For Me
#readingposting#<- I GUESS??#having a little tom tierney moment this morning now that task manager has kindly killed the pope so I can have my tabs back#like. I have had several of his books for many years and I knew he made Hundreds of these but I did not know about This one#he did Every American President. I have clapped eyes on the ronald reagan one even.#and. this doesn't surprise given that he was an illustrator of certain eras in a way that puts the hair up on the back of my neck (1860s...#but. one thing that I do know about this guy as an artist as I've grown up and tried to do things adjacent to what he did is#1) he did his research most of the time and I realize set the standard in my brain for many things#and 2) oh he was Gay gay and this is quite clear now that I revisit his work and think about it.#it had clicked in my mind that one of the men from 'american family of the colonial era' (one of the first ones I had)#was drawn like. downright Sultry. but did not connect the dots until about five minutes ago.#so ends. this has been an experience.
