[bbshyperfixation]

after she gets out of prison, soo-jin comes and lives with sun and kwon-ho. at first, it's slow, quiet. sun is busy getting her company back in order and rebuilding old (and new) relationships with other companies

kwon-ho is still on desk duty, but training so he can be back in the field soon. soo-jin spends her days painting and taking jindo for a walk. her days are unstructured, limitless. she tries to get settled in, spends a lot of time in the sun, but she can't shake the fear.

one day, she asks sun to train her. they're on the roof, sun demonstrating the correct way to make a fist to protect your hand and where to place your hands for maximum damage if an attacker approaches you. she asks if its ok if kwon-ho joins them to be the example

soo-jin hesitates, but eventually nods. sun takes her at her word. that's important- people taking soo-jin at her word. just as important as it is for soo-jin to learn to say what she really wants or needs. if she's uncomfortable with this, she needs to learn to say it.

kwon-ho comes out smiling, making not-so-scary attacking noises, although jindo is fooled, making a small rumbling noise in the back of her throat. that makes them all laugh. it becomes their routine in the mornings before they all go their separate ways for the day.

it's making a difference for soo-jin, they can all tell. she's getting back into hobbies she had as a girl. when she plays the cello, all of them stop and listen. riley, of course, paying special attention, but wolfgang too, surprisingly, closing his eyes and swaying with it

one day sun comes home from a hard day at work and soo-jin and kwon-ho are sitting on the couch watching a movie, sharing a blanket, bowl of popcorn between them. kwon-ho pulls her down on his lap, and she lets herself be pulled, not caring if the bowl of popcorn goes everywhere

she deadpans. 'let me up, i need to go get changed' 'no, stay' she hears behind her, soo-jin looking down at the bowl of popcorn she'd pulled into her lap. and how can she disobey the quietly-voiced desire of her first real friend?

she slides between them on the couch and adjusts the blanket around herself, grabbing a handful of popcorn. when she wakes up, hours later, tv casting silent colors over her face, her head is in soo-jin's lap and her feet are in kwon-ho's.

soo-jin's hand is still resting on sun's head, where she'd been running it softly through sun's hair. she watches as soo-jin's head slips further back onto the couch, snoring softly in this awkward position.

she feels the desire. capheus, nomi, will, wolfgang's desires, but also her own. she recalls pretty girls with unbruised hands and skirts that wouldn't get in their way and how she hadn't known if she wanted to be them or be with them.

she feels riley's appreciation of soo-jin's music, and lito's appreciation of her art, and kala's appreciation of her quiet steadiness and kindness. and all those things were her own, too.

she'll have to talk about this with kwon-ho. he knows how it is with them. jealousy doesn't make sense, /can't/ make sense, and he gets it. he gets that sun loves dozens of people in myriad ways, and she's choosing to love him, too.

but still, this is different. sun's not sure how to handle it. and then kala is there, telling her 'i get it, i know. its communication and honesty' sun nods and kala is gone with a smile. soo-jin stirs above her. 'hey, should we go up to our beds?' sun whispers

Soulmates (bonus points if you're soulmates even in pass lives) - Joshua🦌; No matter what, you'll always find yourself back to him. He is the only one fitted for you

BRO. if you both got separated since you both got reborn, he will still find you. He loves you too much that he can't seem to let you go

Actor x fan - Jun😼 ; majority of the times this is very toxic, but no reason like id imagine maybe either you would be apart of the film crew or makeup team, but you were such a big fan of him ever since you watched one drama of him

He would admire how nice you were to him, you never shouted or did anything to make him upset. You were very soft towards him🤭

Workplace love - Hoshi🐯 ; No reason. Jst hear me out! He deff found u as the cool co-worker he could always rely on. Bonus points if its a love at first sight type too🤭🤭

Or maybe it would be a business proposal type of romance

Love at first sight - Wonwoo🐱 ; God i wanna see wonwoo being so whiped after seeing you for even just a glance

He would stand there FROZEN because he was so shocked over how beautiful you were to him.

70's/60's era - Woozi🍚; I jst wanna see woozi in a white long-sleeved shirt with his sleeves rolled back with slick black pants, bonus points if he's also wearing suspenders!!!😭🤭🤭😭🤭😭🤭

Admiring from a far - Minghao🐸; its not you whos admiring him, ITS MINGHAO ADMIRING YOU.🤭🤭

People always wondered who was that person in his paintings? Yeah its you, he saw that you were perfect for being his muse. But how could be possibly contact you? He's too shy for that, he'd constantly paint and paint you, he never rushed it. His strokes were always so light, it made the painting even more beautiful then it is.

At that point minghao had already memorized every little detail about you

I went a lil overboard with hao

Popular kid x Quiet kid - Mingyu🐶; LIKE. He'd literally fucking be the only one who ever payed attention to you. No one could notice you were in the room yet mingyu was the only one who ever felt your presence

Sunshine x Grumpy (basically opposites attract) - Dokyeom🌞 ; Ugh I need a sunshine Dk in my life. He'd be such an energy boost to a very grumpy reader:((

Only child x Multiple siblings - Seungkwan🍊;

... hear me out, not sure if kwan has siblings but he's gnna be the one with the multiple siblings, or maybe its an au where svt are his siblings. But non the less kwan would not hesitate to introduce you to his multiple siblings. You're not used to this but this adds on to the warm feeling seungkwan has

Oh my god , that would be comforting and chaotic as hell

Confused x Hyper - Vernon🐢; he deff wouldn't understand your hype about something, but he's trying to😭😭

" VERNON!!! look at this new - ********* " whatever is going through his head is literally a loading screen " uh huh.... " hes confused but he's here for it

Full of themselves x "Get a reality check" - Dino🦦 ; title sounds obnoxious BUT HEAR ME OUT.

And dino is like " Im the only person WHO wanted you. "

Chapter Five - Pawn in the Game

I sat on a bench, helmet in my hands, watching. Just watching.  

She was still gone, still unconscious from the sedation tactic they’d used on her. Cortana seemed to pinpoint that with ease, The Covenant had used it on plenty of Marines before. Though it was something forced, she looked peaceful. Serene. I wondered how that must’ve felt. My thoughts roamed back to the sensation she brought upon us via The Artifact.

Like that, probably.  

Her chest rose and fell with each slow breath she took. I held mine, the subconscious thought being if hers would stop at any moment. I hoped not. We’d— I’d been after her for days. It was a miracle they hadn’t eliminated her yet.  

She’d mentioned I’d come for her when I carried her out of the ship.. She must’ve forgotten she would’ve been wanted for stealing The Artifact in the first place; that Cortana and I had decided to bring her back to the UNSC to potentially display to Doctor Halsey just what happens when she touches it. It wasn’t my decision to ‘save her’ no matter how wrong it felt to leave her behind.  

The Artifact’s counterpart had been stolen by The Covenant, leaving Halsey’s excavation team in the lurch. While they were struggling to get back to their respective ships, Silver Team went in to clean up, to clear the enemy’s own grounded ships of any forces left behind. That was when we came across {Y/N}— laying in some kind of pod, out cold. Again, I wondered why they’d kept her. Had it been something to do with the object? Did they know what she could do, and did it mean something to them? Though the knowledge we held about the thing was still very little, what she murmured to me seemed to solidify each notion.  

And I did think about leaving her there. About figuring out this weapon, item, whatever it actually was on our own, just as we were going to before I encountered her at all. But the nagging feeling of ‘wrong’ plagued me.. Just as it had when I received the Article 72 for Madrigal’s Kwan Ha. Removing the pellet only seemed to exacerbate the sensation of right versus wrong that I’d begun to feel prior.  

And {Y/N} did have something to do with it, with the grand scheme of things. When I touched it, I gained knowledge of myself, my past. Halsey’s lies. When she touched it.. We traveled galaxies beyond what slipspace could do. We were transported elsewhere entirely within seconds, even quicker than that. She could lead us in some kind of direction. More than I could, anyway. Whether she knew it or not.  

“That’s not true,” Cortana fragmented to life before me. “We need you, Chief. The galaxy needs you. Humanity needs you. And without you, we wouldn’t have been led to The Artifact at all.”  

I stayed silent for a moment.  

“She said someone called her a ‘Blessed One.’ A female. That she could ‘bring us to The Halo,’” I explained again. “There was no other human woman aboard. Once we wiped out the Sangheili, it was cleared aside of {Y/N}.”  

Cortana looked thoughtful for a few seconds before rattling off again.  

“That is true, I detected no other human life forms.. Perhaps running similar tests to the ones Dr. Halsey and Dr. Keyes ran on you and the other Spartans will allow her more insight,” Cortana offered, looking down at the girl on the floor. “It might bring us closer to all of the answers we need.”  

I peered up at Cortana, stared at her, actually, for an even clearer look. I knew she was just as much Halsey’s A.I. as she was mine— even more so hers. Something about that didn’t sit well with me after all we’d been through the past week in particular. After all the unfavorable truths I’d uncovered.  

Where Doctor Halsey had once been the only person in the universe I could trust aside of my own team, I found she had been keeping things from me. Not only me, but from all of the Spartans— Who knows who else. It was clear what her mission was. It was clear that she didn’t care about anything or anyone else who could’ve gotten in the way of ‘furthering humanity and surpassing its limitations,’ as she put it to me. Even those of us who did the hard work for her, killed and risked everything for her, meant less to her than she’d let on. I had plenty on my plate already, but I was determined to figure it all out.  

With my emotions running on overload more than I’d like to admit, the newness of being able to feel things so differently was overwhelming.. especially after today's incident with the second Artifact.. Halsey was lucky to be walking. Cortana was lucky she was still in my head.  

My line of sight trailed from the A.I. and onward. My team, Kai-125, Riz-028 and Vannak-134 manned the controls of the ship. They were still getting used to Cortana, leaving us alone once she’d appeared almost immediately every time. Just another detriment.  

When Kai finally turned around and approached, Cortana disappeared with a smile on her features, allowing her the space to speak freely.  

��You okay, Chief?” she asked me.  

Loaded question.  

“Fine,” I answered.  

She looked down at {Y/N}, head tilting. The red streaks in her hair seemed lighter than usual when I glanced up at her. After a moment had passed, she spoke again.  

“Do you.. know her? I don’t recall any orders to evacuate survivors.”  

“There were no orders. She was a prisoner. Leaving her wasn’t an option,”  I began, already knowing it didn’t sound very justifiable given past operations. “When we arrive on Reach, appropriate personnel will deal with her.”  

Kai cocked a brow, the faintest of smirks on her lips. I hated when she did that. Not only because of her own cocky assumptions, but because it was a reminder of my letting down a teammate. I wasn’t the only one on the battlefield missing a hormonal suppressor pellet. She was thrilled to feel things, to be ‘awake’ as she’d described it to me. I was disappointed in myself for influencing her so poorly.  

“If you say so,” was all she said, same expression on her countenance.  

She didn’t know about {Y/N}’s involvement with The Artifact. While Spartans solely relied on each other on and off the field, this was something none of them needed to be briefed on. For as long as I could keep it that way, it would stay between Halsey and myself.. And Cortana.  

Kai, Vannak and Riz could believe whatever they liked about the situation. I knew the truth.  

⁂

“What do you expect me to do with this girl, John?” Halsey’s lips pulled into a thin line for a beat, studying the limp body I’d placed on the table. “Watch her vitals and have her make contact with The Artifact? ‘Did something to it’ isn’t enough information for me to conduct any kind of research on. She’s nothing but a mere thief. Send her to another department. I highly doubt she’s of any real use to mine.”  

I stood beside them both in the large room, the screen casting a bluish glow over everything in it. Information ran across the wall like it couldn’t calculate what it was searching for, and Halsey seemed frustrated, more-so than usual. I assumed it was due to my lunging at her earlier, just after comprehending the memories that were revealed to me when I touched the second Artifact. It would’ve rattled anyone who knew what a Spartan was capable of the way she did.  

I didn’t want to be speaking with her just as badly as I was sure she didn’t want to be speaking with me. But this was greater than that. This could tell me the things I needed to know. The mission was more important.  

Guess I had more Halsey in me than I thought.

Trying to bring myself back to being levelheaded, the only way I knew I should be, I inhaled.  

“No, you don’t understand,” I finally explained with a shake of my head, my previous vague attempt at convincing her falling short. “There was no dog, my parents weren’t there, you weren’t—“ I gritted my teeth. “It was…”  

I couldn’t bring myself to express how it felt so freely, no matter what my emotional capacity had become. Clamming up, I faced the girl on the table. “This was another place altogether. There was.. A ring visible from the surface, a sun was shining. It wasn’t overtaken by Covenant forces. No one was there. Just.. her and I.”

“John,” Halsey said softly, her tone feigning comfort as I heard her take a step closer to me. “I‘ve told you before, these things you see when you touch The Artifact... They might not be real at all.”

I rolled my eyes. I also guess she was still standing by that lie.  

“What we saw was tangible. I didn’t touch The Artifact at all,” I stated, turning back to face her.  

The seriousness of my demeanor must’ve changed her mind.  

“What?”

“I didn’t lay a finger on it. She did. And when she touched it.. We were there.”

Cortana appeared then, taking my side for once.  

“He’s right, Doctor Halsey. All of The Master Chief’s levels were fine, nothing amiss in the least as it had been each time before... There’s reason to believe this girl harbors something that could be useful in figuring out what it does.”  

Halsey stood still, processing the information she’d just received.  

“And I’m to believe she’s not a part of The Covenant in some way? How do we know this isn’t some kind of infiltration? Who would be stupid enough to attempt to steal an item from a Spartan?”

Her nature led her to question everything, just like she taught us Spartans not to do. But it wasn’t like her to push away any chance of opening another door to this project— that I noticed.  

“Ma’am, with all due respect, as.. audacious as that was, there’s no way she’s affiliated with the enemy.”

“Her father was a UNSC Marine, mother captured by The Banished,” Cortana added, speaking from her file. “It seems she does understand and speak a vague amount of Sangheili. Doctor Keyes might find that useful in her research.”

“Thank you, Cortana,” Catherine dismissed her, but something about her seemed.. off, now.  

With a small frown, the A.I disappeared into flecks of light. I heard a huff in my head.  

“When you mentioned this girl before, I didn’t think your intention was to bring her here,” Halsey sighed as she turned to me.  

“There’s no other way,” I concluded.  

With another breath, the woman hesitated, cautious eyes studying {Y/N}. I knew she was calculating the risks and rewards. We both knew there was more possibility of reward than risk in this situation.  

“I highly doubt she’s going to provide the answers we need. However…”  

With a tilt of her head and a lift of her brow, she looked up at me again. “I suppose we can see where she leads us…”

We were all just pawns in Halsey’s game.  

————

The light through my closed eyelids began to brighten with each second, my body and mind waking up a little easier than it had before. Taking in a deep breath, the voices that carried beside me seemed to grow louder, as if they were being pulled from the clouds somewhere far away. Still a little too foggy to focus entirely in the moments between sleep and consciousness, my fingers flexed, and then my toes. It was easier to take inventory of myself this time, no one laughing or threatening me. Of course, it had only been a few seconds.. That could change.

I allowed my eyes to open on their own time, not rushing myself. Deep down, I was a little afraid that when I opened them again, a new kind of hell would surround me.

Judging by the blue light that lit the space when they finally did, it might’ve been just that. I was on a table in a lab, that much was certain. Everything was cold, sterile. I felt like an object more than a person as I immediately sat up with a gasp, blinking back the dizziness that rattled the inside of my head by the quick movement.

A large, strong hand grabbed my shoulder just as quickly, causing me to wince from the injury I’d acquired from him during our first encounter.

“Be careful,” The Master Chief advised. “You’ve been down for a while.”

I exhaled, half relieved and half frightened to hear his voice again.

“Oh, she’s awake,” a woman whose voice I didn’t recognize nearly groaned.

His hand remained on my shoulder, and I quickly realized how warm my flesh felt where he held me. Slowly looking at his hand, my line of sight continued up his toned arm and to his stern countenance. He was out of the titanium, wearing something less menacing, but still looking polished and professional. Donned in all black, ‘UNSC’ plastered in white on one side of his chest, ‘117’ on the other, and the emblem on both shoulders, it looked like what he might’ve been clad in beneath his armor— still ready for anything. Of course.

It was then that I knew exactly where we were.

With an audible sigh, I rolled my eyes, my neck following suit as I looked ahead of myself again— exasperated, and honestly? A little irritated.

“Fuck,” I breathed, and I could feel both pairs of eyes on me as his hand fell back to his side.

That’s right. I remembered now. This was the plan from the beginning. Take the Keystone, bring me in to the big-bad-military. How could I have forgotten? How could I have thought he wanted to save me? My mind felt clearer than it had been since all of this began. It would’ve been a welcome change, but at the moment I wished I were dead to the world again.

“Am I awake for good this time?” I wondered aloud to no one in particular.

“No one’s sedating you here,” Master Chief assured me, his tone stoic.

I wanted to ask how he could be so calm. It felt like just moments ago he’d been lecturing me about stealing. If Astra had said something like that, I would’ve either exploded or made some kind of joke out of it. But I remembered he wasn’t like her. He was a Spartan. He wasn’t any kind of friend of mine.

But my mind travelled back to the dream I had— the way he looked, the way I felt so safe in his presence. I allowed myself one more little peek over at him. Without the shell around his frame, he looked.. human. Almost.. pleasant, warmer. He was less threatening, though not entirely, and definitely still commanding respect. If this were any other situation, I may have been put a little more at ease.

Continuing my examination, I glanced over at the woman who stood beside him then, also very much human. Though appropriate for being in a lab, her white coat made me extremely unsettled. It had been a long while since I’d seen anything like this, and those were memories I cared to forget.

Without my noticing, my eyes narrowed, lingering on her face a little longer. Something about her looked familiar, something I couldn’t quite put my finger on.

“Am I going to be dissected?” I pushed the thought aside and asked her before shoving myself off of the table.

Immediately, The Master Chief’s hands gripped my arms, his reflexes terribly impressive. There wasn’t enough time for me to register that I’d almost fallen once he brought his arms back down to his sides again.

“I told you to be careful,” he murmured again, and I threw a piercing glance at him.

“Not today, Miss {Y/L/N},” the woman said before pausing, her hand balling up in front of her mouth as she latched her index finger over her lips for just a few seconds.

Seemed like everyone knew my name now.

“I’m Doctor Catherine Halsey…” She eyed me in silence as I moved, rolling my shoulders and trying to stretch as discreetly as possible. It felt like she was looking for something, waiting for a reaction of some sort. “John says you possess quite a gift.”

I only looked at her, registering that.

John.

Now he felt extra human.

“If you mean being able to outrun him for a little bit, then sure,” I retorted, not letting my guard down.

She smiled at me. “That’s not exactly what I meant.”

Walking around John and over to another table, she seemed thoughtful. “I was told you have a.. slightly similar reaction as John to The Artifact.”

The Artifact. I’d never live that thing down, would I? It would consume me. But it occurred to me then that she’d mentioned he’d had a similar reaction. He must’ve seen what I had.. No wonder he never responded to me when I’d asked.

It all started to make a little more sense all over again, though I still really had no idea about the Keystone’s impact. Suddenly everything came rushing back at once all the same— the few words the human girl had spoken to me, the way she mentioned she, too, could awaken the Keystone, the..

“Halo,” I blurted out loud before turning towards her, not responding to the statement she made. “The Halo. I’ll tell you everything she told me if you let me out of here.”

Doctor Halsey cocked a brow. “She?”

“{Y/N} informed me on Eridanus that she encountered a girl aboard The Covenant ship. She told her she was a ‘Blessed One.’”

I hesitated to speak again, not wanting to incriminate myself, or worse, feel like I was on the same side as The Master Chief. But it was true…

She only stared at us both. Hesitation, or calculating her next statement very carefully rather, seemed to be her thing.

“We’ve been calling it The Halo, yes,” she finally said. “Word must travel quickly.”

John’s eyes narrowed just a hair in her direction, and I assumed he hadn’t been briefed on the subject.

“There was more,” I stated again, standing a little taller, using my bargaining chip. “And if you let me walk, I’ll tell you.”

I saw John’s stance shift just slightly towards me from my peripheral vision. Though I hadn’t gotten a better look, he seemed intent, as though he wanted Halsey to oblige me; as though I’d piqued his interest with anything I might have to say.

“You’ve attempted to steal an item rightfully claimed by the military, and you expect us to let you free? Surely whatever “information” you contain cannot be something we can’t find out for ourselves.”

She was toying with me. Trying to assert her power, make me feel disposable as I always had.. See if I’d fold without her capitulation to my request.

“You can look through all of your databases, send out a million Marines. I’ve heard it straight from the source. You have your ke— Artifact already… Are you willing to lose out on intel that could potentially be crucial to you?” I dipped my chin slowly, taking just one step closer in the direction of the door.

All I truly had was a couple of new words in Sangheili and what I assumed to be The Artifact’s true name: The Keystone. If they already knew about The Halo, then they might know about whatever “The Great Journey” was. But my mind raced with a million lies I could tell to save my hide should she give me the chance to do so.

“And I’m to just.. blindly believe the things you say?” she asked, clearly skeptical.

The Master Chief breathed what sounded like a laugh of disbelief at her question through his nostrils. I wondered why.

“You can believe her,” John spoke up with conviction then.

Why was he standing up for me? What did he know? I was sure he didn’t even believe me.

Halsey eyeballed him, the expression on her features clearly miffed.

“She spent enough time with The Covenant. If she’s willing to give you what you want, why not let her? The Artifact is safe with us. The second will be retrieved again.”

“You want me to let her go?” She asked flatly.

Almost before she could finish her sentence, he curtly responded. “I want to hear what she has to say.”

Doctor Halsey swallowed thickly as they shared a moment of holding each other's stares intensely. My mind raced about what that might’ve meant. I clearly hadn’t been privy to something between the two.

“Very well,” she finally voiced as her eyes remained on John, her tone tense before looking over at me again. “If you’ve been able to gather an adequate amount of intelligence, we might be inclined to make some kind of deal.”

I glimpsed over at The Master Chief, noticing the air leave his lungs, his body relaxing just a bit. Halsey pressed a slender finger against the table and nodded in my direction.

“Go on,” she said.

Noticing the light in the room change when we spoke, I briefly looked over my shoulder at the screen behind me. It looked like she was recording me— everything I was going to say. My distrust suddenly felt ten times too big to be contained within. Something was happening here. Something felt terribly, terribly wrong.

But the last thing I ever wanted.. was to be held down by the UNSC.

“I want confirmation that I’ll be let go,” I vocalized again.

“You have my confirmation,” she responded, waving a hand lightly, as though it didn’t matter to her anymore.

Turning my head this time, I looked to John for any sign of reassurance. I had no ally in this situation, no one to help me if things went sour. He was also the last person I looked to for safety, no matter how I felt in my dreams, no matter his dedication to humanity as a whole. My sudden desperation, my current shift to the any-port-in-a-storm mentality, scrambled my thoughts into seeking out some kind of quick, unspoken alliance and trust within him, whether it was true or not.

He must’ve felt me staring, his face turning toward mine, the rest of his tall, muscular frame still as a statue. He nodded once, subtle encouragement to push forward. I could only hope that he would back me up should an issue arise, especially since he was so quick to allow me the chance at the accord in the first place.

“They’re called Keystones, not artifacts…” I began slowly, eyes trailing from John’s to Halsey’s.

The doctor dipped her head then, another sign of egging me on.

With a jagged inhale, I shifted in place, line of sight on the floor.

“They take you to The Sacred Ring for The Great Journey…”

I was beginning to tremble undetectably, knowing I’d have to lie, hoping they wouldn’t figure it out. I was usually so quick, so adept at conning people back on Rubble. This was not your average petty thief scenario. I didn’t want to be locked up here for good. Or worse..

“The girl who spoke to me knew perfect Sangheili, and they seemed to be ruled by her somehow… They listened to her.. She had short blonde hair and a long black cloak.”

“Her sense of fashion doesn’t necessarily help us, {Y/N},” Halsey interrupted.

“She said she’s a Blessed One, too,” I interrupted right back. “And because I touched the Keystone, she knew exactly where to find it. That’s why The Covenant showed up on Rubble.”

The latter statement was only a confident guess, but John tensed up again, his eyes burning holes through Doctor Halsey.

“She said we were one in the same, because she can also reach The Halo.. She called The Master Chief ‘Ghashank'o,’ or The Demon,” I added randomly. “But the Keystones, they take you to The Halo.”

I wasn’t entirely sure about that last one. My mouth ran dry, my voice quieting though I found my speech speeding up now, knowing I was running out of facts.

“And they’re coming,” I finalized with another hard swallow. “They know about Reach and its location and they’re coming for us. For the Keystone.”

My embellishment seemed to have worked. Dr. Halsey’s entire demeanor changed then, as did John’s. Cortana appeared with concern lacing her features, and I tried my damndest to keep my composure. Judging by their reactions, I must’ve been convincing enough.

“They’re what?” Halsey asked, seeming winded.

“They’re going to take over,” I lied further. “That’s their intent, anyway. We probably don’t have much time now, since you have the Keystone. And me.”

Maybe they’d let me go quicker if they thought I would lead The Covenant to them.

“Call the captain,” she called out to someone in another part of the lab, her voice full of urgency as she disappeared in the same direction.

“Is that true?” Master Chief asked roughly, stepping up to me then, his imposing frame towering my small stature before he even drew near enough. “What else did she say about the Keystones? About what they do?”

I got nervous, stammering, drawing into myself in a way I never thought I could through my bold streak. She hadn’t said anything else. I was suddenly too caught off guard by him and his bubbling interest.

“I.. She.. Well, I—“

“What did she say?” He growled hastily, his hands finding my biceps.

His grip was tight with some kind of unspoken need that felt like it had nothing to do with the matter at hand. I was too scattered, almost terrified, to think of something else to tell him.

His hold on me was reminiscent of my dream as well. But instead of the hopeful warmth he radiated in my mind, I felt the wrath of something else. This was something much deeper I was unaware of as he searched for whatever response he was after from me. I was reminded all over again of just who he was. Just what he was. Despite my earlier confusion, I wanted no part of it anymore.

Needing to rip myself from The Master Chief’s grasp, I shoved away from him with the little amount of strength that I had left. His hands automatically released me, and I quickly made my way toward the door— as though I’d know how to find my way out. My legs felt like jelly in motion from being under and down for so long, but I pushed through it the best I could, stumbling away from the scene.

Before I could reach the door, the MP’s burst through it, not exercising any strength with me as they swept me up into their arms, screaming at me to stay put, to stand down. I couldn’t help my reaction after all I’d been through, immediately panicking and resisting my arrest as they began to pull my hands together in front of me.

“No!” I shouted “No, she said I could go free! She said I could leave!” I gasped, trying to pull away from my new restraints.

The confirmation from her was vague at best, but I stood by it. I continued attempting to glance over my shoulder, only to notice that Doctor Halsey had returned with another man, and she and the others were gathering around the table. Cortana looked at me through distressed eyes from her spot alongside them, not saying a word to help me.

Even though I knew in my heart of hearts that Cortana and John weren’t on my side, not in the least, I felt stupid. I felt disappointed in myself for subconsciously holding out hope that maybe they would’ve been, just this once.

“I told you everything I know, I told you everything! Let me go!” I kicked, my voice becoming a whine as I felt enraged tears surfacing on my waterline.

It wasn’t until I glanced back one more time, being dragged through the sliding doors, that I saw John had turned in my direction. He was staring at me now with a milelong gaze as I near violently resisted at the hands of the UNSC.

“You were supposed to help me!” I cried at him before the doors shut again.

[fairyhaos]

omg now thinking about I spent so long trying to guess your bias at the beginning DHDJDJ it does feel like forever ago. Ofc at the beginning I was like 'must be hao because obviously it's in the username' but someone asked and you said no and then I went through all members and joshua and wonwoo were the ones that made the most sense to me (based on how they are and the vibes you gave) 🤔 if only I had put that much effort when studying lmao 💀

my bestie mentioned recently that we're similar to our biases, she then said 'look at you and kwannie' while I was eating a tangerine so long story short I have to marry seungkwan ✨

- 🍒

LITERALLY it feels like so long ago...... yeah the hao in my user really did throw everyone for a loop and i was so surprised by that bc like??? i didn't know that it would make people think he was my bias. i just really love fairy!minghao lmao

stop the detective skills 🕵 that's so funny and so sweet like u cared about me :(( that much :((( not gonna lie. ive been told im wonu coded by irl friends too and that makes me vv happy but im still always gonna be a joshu girlie thru and thru

yess omg it's actually crazy how people sometimes really do resemble their biases! stop im imagining you nomming on a tangerine now and you know what? let's go on a mission to kidnap kwan so that he can marry you just as he ought 😌

Author Appreciation/Study:

-Chan Ho-Kei

*This post is in regard to his only two books published in English ( The Borrowed and Second Sister). I will talk about them separately then his writing as whole*

The Borrowed:

The Borrowed is a crime fiction novel set in Hong Kong. It consists of six cases (six short stories) in reverse chronological order following one detective. As an avid mystery fan I honestly didn’t expect much; The more I read more mystery novels the more likely they are to become less entertaining because formats and tropes are easier to see. I was expecting a run-of-the-mill police procedural to be honest but as I tasted the first story, that was more armchair detective-esque, I thought “Oh? You’re serious.”.

The plot/mystery in all six stories was rather well written besides maybe the last one. The last story still had a good but predictable reveal unfortunately everything leading up that felt a little boring. The characters were just okay but I do want to talk about our lead detective Kwan Chun-Dok. I rarely see a “genius detective” done well. They usually feel so disjointed by either jumping to conclusions in a foolhardy manner based on intuition or not seeing through things the reader can easily deduce. Kwan Chun-Dok is one of the best genius detectives I have seen in awhile. He is always one step ahead, pulling the strings, or completely aware and it is believable. 

The weaker parts were the setting and the overall message but the ladder was partially my fault. So let’s start with the former. Setting, this novel goes in reverse chronological order form 2013 to1967 and unfortunately if I wasn”t told this I hardly would have realized. Some of the events, like the Leftist Riots, were an important part of the story but some events, like the SARS epidemic, was mentioned only in passing and almost felt forced. Now for the overall message, I was expecting a more riveting tale of corruption and social power shifts especially because the reviews all over the cover ( I know, rookie mistake ) but I think the portrayal of a city’s shift through time was just average. 

Second Sister:

Second Sister is a crime fiction novel set in Hong Kong. Nga-Yee who grew up in poverty finally loses everything when her younger sister commits suicide. Nga-Yee suspects her younger sister was coerced into taking her life so she enlists the help of an enigmatic detective/hacker to find the person responsible for her sister's death. The synopsis on the back of the book is a little misleading, it makes the book seem like it will cover a lot more ground than it actually does. 

The plot/mystery in this story was a little more flimsy but it is one against six. This was far less of a whodunnit type mystery and focused much more on getting to the heart of the matter and I think Chan Ho-Kei was able to do exactly that. I wasn’t sure of his character writing but now I am. I think just about every character in this book was well written, the main characters at least. Everyone’s heart and motives were exposed and he handled the topic of suicide with care and sympathy. 

The main weaker points in this were once again setting but also over explaining. There were plenty of tricks and traps used by the hacker coupled with Nga-Yee not being tech savvy which led to things being explained multiple times over which was tedious.

Overall:

Although he doesn’t always paint a pretty picture or suck you into the setting, Chan Ho-Kei’s mystery writing and ability to misdirect is quite admirable. He seems to know the complexities of crime and the human heart. Knowing he was inspired by honkaku/shin-honkaku and shakai mysteries from Japan, I think he does a good job at blending the two and will be eagerly awaiting another translation.

His work will pair best with most black or dark teas :)

Amateur Sleuth

“I didn’t make it too tight for you, did I, mister?” Kwan-to giggled as she and her prisoner waited for the police to arrive. The gagged Brian could not reply of course. ‘Little smart arse.’ he thought angrily, furious with himself, after having eluded some of the best detective agencies in the world, for having been trapped and captured by an amateur schoolgirl sleuth in Thailand! And yes it was too tight!
