#but if im serious about getting a PC in November

[keydav]

Really feeling that Baldur's Gate 3 FOMO tonight, especially where Astarion is concerned 😩😩

I was literally looking at Gaming PCs online, even though I shouldn't get one right now. Though I didn't even think about places having a Labor Day sale! I think what I'm gonna do, is try to save up as much as I can the next few months, and then take a look on Black Friday, cause the deals might be good enough I could swing one then. I've been wanting to get a desktop computer for a while, since my laptop is over 10 years old and essentially doesn't function anymore, and this has just made that desire that much more acute lol

Maybe Someday

A Kwon Jiyong Story

Summary: She was a rose, and he was the darkness that should have killed it…but when a rose is made of enough light to penetrate even the deepest darkness, sometimes the two are able to become one…

Genre: Fluff, Smut.

Part 2

‘-The comeback is provisionally scheduled for mid-January, but in terms of time it seems like the beginning of March will be more doable and convenient for everyone, and with the girls comeback in only a week it will give you plenty of time to polish the songs to your hearts content-‘

‘Can I go on holiday?’

Jiyong wasn’t paying enough attention to watch the way Yang sighs heavily and glares up at him from beneath his brows where he’d been reading from the schedule on his desk, leaning back in his chair with an expression of scorn as he regards the man lounged across the sofa across the room from him.

‘Have you been listening to what I’ve been saying at all?’ Yang asks frustratedly, taking in the way Jiyong opens his eyes and turns to look at him with a neutral expression, raising his eyebrows when he sees Yang staring at him reproachfully.

‘Of course I have. But I just wondered when I would be able to have a break?...you know, maybe pop over to Peru…possibly Europe…’

‘Jiyong, you don’t do holidays. The last time you went you failed to relax once and spent the whole time working-‘

‘Because that was a working holiday.’ Jiyong cuts the older man off boredly, giving him a look that revealed how tired Jiyong truly was, before he sat up and leant forward on his knees to rest his head in his hands.

‘Look. Jiyong. All you have to do is get past the album release, and the world tour, and then you’ll have at least a month of relaxation before enlistment-‘

‘That’s in November.’ Jiyong states annoyedly, seeing the impatient look Yang shoots him when he realizes he wasn’t focusing on what he should be focusing on, and instead of arguing further, he simply stands up and stretches languidly, before heading to the door.

‘Where are you going?’ Yang demands tiredly, not making a move as he watches Jiyong walk away, but simply watching him tiredly instead.

‘I have 50 billion meetings today, but none of them are in the studio, so since I figure we’re finished here, I’m going to squeeze in some time to look at one of my new tracks now if you don’t mind.’ Jiyong explains politely, turning to bow to Yang pointedly just before he got to the door, smiling at him mock politely, before slipping from the room before the chief executive could stop him... not that he ever tried to.

You smile happily down at the cup of caffeine filled goodness in your hands as you walk back down the corridor to the studio you’d been hibernating in since the night before, having taken a break to walk to the coffee shop across the road from the YG building, and feeling much better for it as you feel the liquid energy begin to disperse into your veins.

However, its just as you go to walk into your studio that you see his usual studio door lit up, signalling someone was inside, and after deliberating for a moment you pull your phone out of your pocket as you walk into your studio, setting your coffee down and typing out a text to send to him.

[Y/N: Are you in your studio? X]

[KJ: Depends, whose asking?]

[Y/N: Me? X]

[KJ: Doors open ;)]

You couldn’t help the butterflies that bombard your stomach at his response, just like they did every time you messaged him, biting your lips to try to restrain your smile, but failing miserably as you pick up your coffee once more and make your way to Jiyong’s studio, pausing at the door and knocking quietly, before opening it to peek inside, checking no-one was in the corridor behind you first.

‘Hey.’ You say quietly, smiling shyly as you slip through the door and close it behind you, finding him lounged in his desk chair, but he’s not focused on the various screens and sound desks in front of him, instead, he’s laid back with his eyes closed, and his arms crossed, a drawn expression on his face which is disturbed momentarily as he peeks an eye open to look at you.

‘Hey…come here.’ He mutters, his command making you smile in puzzlement as you follow it, shuffling over to see what he was doing, and placing your coffee on the table by the sofa on the way past, before coming to a stop beside him.

‘How come you’re in here? You usually don’t get into your studio until-‘

‘Beautiful, let me cuddle you.’ He cuts you off, sitting up suddenly and reaching out to grab your waist, pulling you onto his lap which causes you to become flustered as you worry that someone was going to walk in on you both, before you settle after a few moments, and let him pull you into him so that you could lay on his chest with his arm wrapped comfortably around you, his cheek pressed to your head.

‘Ji, whats wrong?’ you ask quietly after a few minutes, beginning to trace light patterns across the skin of his arm as you wait for his answer and trying not to get wholly consumed by the warmth and softness of him surrounding you.

‘Nothings wrong. …I’m just tired. …and I wanted to have a moment with my girlfriend…isn’t that-‘

‘JI!’ you reprimand him, the way he’d simply stated that one word out loud- that could get you both into serious trouble if anyone found out- having you momentarily freaking out, before he clutches you tightly against him once more, pressing a light kiss to your hair that cuts your complaint off into silence.

‘Babe, be quiet. We were having a moment.’ He mutters, his voice tired, his exhaustion being emphasized in his sigh, and so despite the way your body was freaking out about the way he was touching you so lovingly despite the potential that anyone could walk in on the two of you at any minute, you comply with his wishes and snuggle into his chest, timidly side-eyeing his neck for a few seconds, before stretching your lips up to press a kiss against his throat.

‘Mmmm, what was that for?’ he murmurs, eyes closed as he fights the sleepiness that had suddenly overtaken him with the feeling of happiness and safety he felt having you in his arms.

‘You seem tired.’ You mumble, your attention becoming increasingly consumed with the spot on his neck that you’d kissed as you begin to wonder what it would taste like today; what perfume he’d be wearing.

‘Mmh, early starts always get me.’ He explains, chuckling quietly, before there is a stagnant pause, and then: ‘It felt good.’

He always seemed to know when you needed a nudge.

You only hesitate for a moment, before shyly pressing your lips to his neck again, attempting to settle your racing heart as you linger there, before drawing in a quiet breath from his throat and parting your lips to stroke your tongue timidly across his skin, feeling his heartbeat faintly through the thin flesh, but hearing the satisfied sigh that escapes him as he loosens his grip on you so that you could readjust yourself slightly, leading you to be laid on top of him.

Today it was rich berries and liquorice, a hint of woodsmoke tantalizing your tastebuds as the aftertaste evolves into the sting of alcohol and chemicals, but the mix of fruit and candy alone has you going back for more, your hands gripping gently at his biceps as you lay open mouthed kisses across his neck. He appears to be so lost in your caresses, that its not until his phone is ringing, breaking up the quiet sounds of pants and barely there moans, that you realize you’d become a lot rougher in your ministrations, the sound making you jolt back on his lap to see that you’d littered his neck with small red marks that mingled among hues of purple.

‘Crap-‘

‘Hello?’

You quickly shut up when you realize he’d answered the phone, looking at his face and finding him watching you with eyes full of thoughts that seemed far from PC, but at that moment you were too busy biting your lip and gently grazing your fingertips across the marks you’d made, that you don’t realize just how excited he’d become.

‘I had half an hour spare, I’ll be there in 2 minutes- yes, im aware you hate it when I run off but I am still a person, I have rights- yeah….okay…sure…I’ll be there in a minute.’ He mutters, his voice losing enthusiasm as he hangs up the phone and glances up at you, before reaching up to pull gently at your lip with his thumb to get you to stop biting it.

‘I might have got a bit carried away.’ You murmur quietly before you could chicken out from telling him, still so scared that one day you’d put a foot too far out of line with him and he’d have a diva fit on you, but you knew that was just your fear of his superstar status.

‘I did notice you were rather into it.’ He mutters, smirking up at your half worried, half embarrassed expression and you go back to biting your lip as your mind races to think of some way to hide the marks.

‘Beautiful, you don’t have to worry- Wait! Where are you going?’ he calls when you scramble off of his lap, standing to chase after you, but stopping when you raise your hands to tell him to wait as you dart out the door to run to your studio before returning.

‘What are you-‘

‘Sit down.’ You command, your worry over him being late for whatever meeting he had making you climb back onto his lap and tilt his head to the side without a comment, before beginning to apply the concealer to his neck that you’d grabbed from your bag.

‘Are you putting make-up on me?’ he chuckles, his hands that had found their way to your hips kneading your sides happily as he allows you to paint his skin.

‘I don’t want people spreading rumors about you.’ You mutter as you concentrate, beginning to apply the foundation powder and being extra careful not to get any on his shirt.

‘One day im going to tell the world that you’re mine.’ He states definitely, his voice hard and you pause as you apply the final bit of powder, sighing as you sense his usual argument on the tip of his tongue, the foreboding in his words causing you to lean your forehead against his as you close your eyes.

‘One day…Everyone will know how much I love you.’ He whispers, knowing you were fully concentrating on him at this point, and the two of you share a moment as you silently battle with him, knowing he was thinking about all the arguments you’d had about not upsetting the fans…about not becoming a spectacle…about not breaking the company rules….about protecting you…

‘You have work to do.’ You mutter quickly before he could say anything else, bringing yourself out of the imagined utopia of being able to show everyone that he was yours and you were his, and quickly setting a kiss on his lips, before climbing off of his lap and heading to the door.

‘What about your coffee?’ he asks, voice somehow even more tired than before, and despite the battle within yourself not to turn and look at him, you still glance back at his warm brown eyes boring into you, his hand outstretched with your coffee cup clutched in it as he silently begged you not to leave, but you end up just smiling at him sadly.

‘Keep it. …you look like you need it more than me.’

This is a catch-all post regarding my thoughts on some of stuff that I now have time to comment on.

Fallout 76

After seeing a million hours of footage on it, I’m like 98% sure I’m not gonna give it a go. It really looks like a Fallout game only in name. It looks like Fallout 4 stripped of all its interesting bits, now with added multiplayer. The more I watch of it, the less interested I get. But that’s okay. Some people will dig it, and that’s dope. Maybe I’ll check it out when it goes on sale.

Destiny 2: Forsaken

This expansion freakin owns. It does blow that it took this long for the game to be in a good position, but it’s extremely satisfying to play now. Been like a month now almost? And playing daily for hours still rules. Even better that the old group came back as well. Games like this a better with friends. It’s a good time.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

I’m excited in every way possible. I was fine with the roster from the first direct, any more after that was a bonus as far as I’m concerned. Every aspect of what we’ve seen so far just screams love and passion for the game. Will buy 1000%. Also tangential enough, Animal Crossing being announced is good stuff.

Forza Horizon 4

It’s an absolutely gorgeous racing game. And it runs at 60fps so that’s the biggest plus. The best compliment I can give it is that is definitely a racing game that looks great and runs even better. I’ll never buy it, but since I have Game Pass for Xbox I thought might as well play it. I’m payin for it one way or another.

Assassin’s Creed Odyssey

When I looked at footage for it, I genuinely thought I was watching Origins for a second. Definitely looks interesting, and might actually be pretty good, but ima pass on this. Catch me waiting for games with gold or a humble bundle deal. Glad it seems to be doing well though.

Spider-Man

Got tired of it pretty quickly, but I was super on-board with it. I’m always for great games like this that show that single player games are still the wave. Ecstatic that it did well, and can only hope we get something else on the same level for a different IP.

A Man Called Ove

Absolutely loved the book. Took a while to read as I didn’t have the time, but finally after finishing it I felt very satisfied with the conclusion. In a lot of ways, I extremely relate to Ove. Not at all in a few parts, one in particular, but for the most part I felt we were on the same wavelength. It’s a great book that I will heartily recommend.

Psych

I recently started watching Psych (yes the series from 2006) and am enjoying it a lot. It’s exactly what I was missing in terms of media consumption. It’s House without the serious bit, at least for now. I’m definitely digging it.

BoJack Horseman Season 5

I liked the newest season quite a bit. There were some great moments, not as low or as dark as I’d like, but it seems like it’s getting there. Todd unfortunately still solely exists to bring the show down, except for like 3 scenes where he almost had meaningful growth as a character, only for it to nosedive into *holds up spork* i am t3h PeNgU1N oF d00m. Also I don’t like Diane’s haircut, but that’s basically irrelevant. Overall good season.

Westworld

This show owns. I’m extremely into the overarching concept. I watched the newest season as it came out, so it’s been a while, but i came out of it very positive and looking forward to whatever is coming up next, if anything. I’m into it.

Tha Carter V

I enjoyed listenin to Wayne’s newest entry to the Carter series way more than I thought I would. Some songs were a little lame and too simple, but there were some great songs in there for sure, fantastic features and some solid beats. Too many songs for my taste for an album, but I think overall it’s a good listen and I’ll probably listen to it again in the future.

Just Shapes & Beats

Speaking of good music, JS&B has incredibly fantastic music that is integral to the gameplay and is an amazing experience. The music in this game seriously BANGS. Everything about this game is crisp, clean, and overall so fun. I LOVE it a lot. Need more games like this.

Soul Calibur VI

Im relatively excited for this. All I care about is making sick custom characters and beating the snot out of my friends and destroying their character’s painstakingly made outfits. I don’t care about the mechanics, the frame data, blah blah blah. I’m literally only in it for the customization options.

Adventure Time

I lost a football related bet and I was asked to watch all of Adventure Time, being told there was no way I wouldn’t like it. I’ve seen 2 seasons so far and I do like it. From what I know it gets more interesting way later on, which I’m looking forward to, but for now, I like it about as much as I like most other animated media. It’s good. I’m looking forward to finishing it eventually.

Halloween

I don’t like that the month of October is essentially just Halloween. Also part of November is also cannibalized by Halloween too. This is not okay. Any parties revolving around Halloween shouldn’t happen any earlier than the Saturday before October 31st, and no later. No one should be having Halloween parties in November. A week of Halloween is enough. A month is too much. And leave November alone.

Red Dead Redemption 2

I’m into it. Liked the first game enough. I’m more than likely going to play this. “No PC port” kinda blows a lot, but it’ll be fine. Im lookin forward to it nonetheless.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 4

After seeing the battle royale gameplay and general multiplayer gameplay, this might be the hardest No I’ve given a CoD game in the last 4 years. Slightly related but Battlefield is also a big No Thanks. I think I’m over mindless FPS/shooter games. I’ve played like literally thousands of hours of that. I’m ready to move on.

That’s pretty much all I can think of that I wanted to comment on. Bunch of stuff. Probably won’t be another post like this for like two years. Anyway, y’all have a good night.
