Introduction (NCT DR)

I promised I'll be making intros to my DRs, so let's start off with my Main DR ! I have not shifted to this DR yet, but it's the one I try to shift to almost every night and it's one of the two DRs that stay consistent in my scripts !

Time ratio : 1 Hour CR = 5 Months DR (I know it may seem like a lot, but I really want to experience as much as I can on each shift.

First shift : November, 2015. I will be shifting to the day I get picked to debut in NCT. The next couple of months will be filled with practicing and getting to know the members. I want to live through these moments, and not just remember them as memories. The morning of my first shift will be filled with my own training, going to vocal lessons, study sessions, since I don't attend school, and by the end of the day, I get called to a meeting, where I find out I'm set to debut with NCT.

Timeline

DEC.08.00

Born in Bulgaria.

2000-2005

Going to kindergarten in Bulgaria. My parents get promoted at their workplace, which requires us to move to Seoul, SK.

2005-2009

Going to public school, but not being able to make many friends. Getting bullied often, so taking up a hobby, which is dancing. I begin dancing every night to popular K-Pop songs in my room, and deciding that becoming an idol is my dream.

OCT.2009

I begin auditioning for SM, YG, JYP, but am continuously rejected for being too young, not being able to sing and rap. I go to every audition I can, which my family soon finds out about. I get scolded a lot afterwards, but I decide to prove everyone wrong, so I begin training in my room to sing and rap.

DEC.2009

I decide to audition for SM Ent. one last time. The judges already know me by then. They give me one last chance, and after a lot of mumbling from their side, they tell me they will call me soon.

JAN.2010

I begin training under SM Ent. There aren't many trainees my age, so I befriend older trainees, which are Sehun (EXO), Johnny (NCT), Irene (Red Velvet). Soon after I begin training, my family informs me that they will be moving back to Bulgaria, where my older brother can receive better higher education there, so I am left alone in Seoul. They tell me to come with them, but becoming an Idol is my dream, so I refuse, to which they get furious, and tell me never to contact them ever again.

2011-2012

I become great friends with Yeri (Red Velvet) and we train together, aligned for the same group. We are roommates, so we become good friends the moment she becomes a trainee. I've gone no contact with my family, aside from my aunt, uncle and cousin. I also befriend Mark (NCT), but we get close due to me not being able to speak good Korean and communicating in English instead (same situation with Johnny). He helps me improve both my English, and my Korean.

The rest of the years leading up to my debut are honestly kind of boring but some key moments are :

Not debuting with Yeri

Becoming the greatest friends with Donghyuck/Haechan (NCT), which we still are to this day

Dating History

Vernon ( Seventeen ) May 19 2017 - January 11, 2018, 8 months Age Difference : 2 years Reason for break up : Falling off, companies finding out.

Juyeon (The Boyz) October 16 2018 until August 15 2019, almost 10 months Age Difference : 2 years Reason for break up : He was cheating on me

Taeyong (NCT) February 10 2020-January 10 2021; March 11 2021 - ongoing Age Difference : 5 years Reason for a break : Fans speculating our relationship, so we didn't know how they would react if they were proven right, so we decided to take a break

Exosome Therapeutics: Harnessing Vesicle-Delivered Therapies For Disease Treatment

Exosomes are small vesicles that are naturally released by almost all cell types in the body and play a key role in intracellular communication. Exosomes transport a diverse cargo of molecules such as proteins, lipids, mRNA, and miRNA between cells. Due to their nanoscale size of 30-150 nm and natural ability to fuse with target cells, scientists view exosomes as promising drug delivery vehicles for therapeutic applications.

Exosome Therapeutics: Developing Vesicle-Mediated Therapies

Founded in 2011, Therapeutics is a biotech company focused on engineering exosomes for targeted drug delivery. The company was one of the earliest to realize the potential of harnessing Exosome Therapeutics as drug delivery vehicles. Therapeutics’ platform allows loading therapeutic molecules into purified exosomes from donor cells. These exosome-based therapies can then be administered directly to patients.

The company's therapeutic focus areas include neurodegenerative diseases, cardiovascular diseases, and oncology. Exosome Therapeutics has ongoing clinical and preclinical pipelines in Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, myocardial infarction, and cancers. Some of the company's most advanced programs are:

- EXO-AAV-9 for Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease: This program utilizes exosomes to deliver AAV9 gene therapy vectors across the blood-brain barrier. Promising preclinical data shows corrective genes are delivered to the brain and spinal cord cells.

- EXO-Ang1 for myocardial infarction: Angiopoietin-1 protein is encapsulated in exosomes to promote angiogenesis and cardiac repair after a heart attack. In animal models, a single dose showed reduced scarring and improved heart function.

- EXO-PDOX for pancreatic cancer: This program delivers tumor-suppressing miRNA-loaded exosomes to inhibit pancreatic tumor growth and metastasis. In mouse models, a significant decrease in tumor progression and longer survival times were observed.

Partnering For Clinical Advances

While pursuing its own pipeline, Therapeutics has also formed strategic partnerships to accelerate clinical development. In 2016, the company partnered with Celgene to develop exosome targeting multiple myeloma and other hematologic tumors. Under the multi-year collaboration, Celgene gained options to license certain exosome-based pipeline assets in oncology.

In 2018, Exosome partnered with Neurotrack Technologies to advance the EXO-AAV-9 program in Alzheimer's disease. This partnership combined Neurotrack's advanced digital biomarkers with Exosome's ongoing clinical trial. The collaboration aims to improve patient selection criteria and outcome measures for future AD trials.

Fueling Pipeline Growth With New Financings

To sustain its progress, Exosome has raised significant capital through private financing over the years. In 2015, the company raised a $70 million series C round led by life sciences investors OrbiMed Advisors and Novo A/S. This strengthened the company’s financial position and supported a growing pipeline then consisting of five clinical and preclinical programs.

The company completed its largest fundraising round of $100 million series D in 2017 led by RA Capital Management and OrbiMed Advisors. RA Capital’s chairman Peter Kolchinsky joined Exosome’ board of directors. The funds were intended for the company’s clinical and manufacturing activities towards transitioning into a commercial-stage organization.

Securing Assets Through Mergers

In 2018, Exosome Therapeutics merged with Chicago-based startup Materialise to form the new company Ascendia Pharmaceuticals. Materialise contributed proprietary nanoprinting technologies capable of industrial-scale production of individualized exosome-therapies.

Through this merger, Ascendia Pharmaceuticals acquired complementary drug development and manufacturing capabilities from both parent companies. With combined resources and expertise, the merged company aims to accelerate clinical testing and commercialization of its engineered exosome therapies across therapeutic areas. The merger positioned Ascendia to become a leader in developing and commercializing therapeutics at industrial scales.

With an experienced management team, growing research collaborations, and strong funding support, Ascendia Pharmaceuticals is well positioned at the forefront of exosome therapeutic development. The company's pioneering work in harnessing nature's nanoparticles for drug delivery holds promise to transform treatment for diseases with high unmet needs. If clinical trials continue producing safety and efficacy data, some of Ascendia’s lead programs may reach s in the next 5 years. This can establish engineered exosome therapies as a viable therapeutic modality and generate appealing commercial opportunities.

“Promise 2011″ | EXO FAN FICTION (semi-AU) | Ch. 3: ‘Some Harm, All Foul’

“Good freaking luck!? You crazy, batshit, insane, mental asylum PSA, Looney Tunes, lost marbled, wizard, psychic, witch, hag, ahjumma woman! I swear to God.” I can't even think about anything else but getting to my dongseangs… IF they are even here. I'm not even sure I'm in Korea at this point, or if I'm sitting in a nut house somewhere hallucinating all of this. I start to read down the page as I cross the street, and I stop suddenly being honked at by a taxi that almost slams into me. “YAH! I'm walking here!” I scream in irritated Korean. I begin to jog my way across the rest of the street. I crumble the “rules” paper and envelope up and throw it in my purse for now. I’m obviously and thankfully still the 2018 version of myself, as I remember Korean, which I didn't know in 2011. Helpful. I glance in a store to see my reflection as I'm rationalizing. Well, I still look my current, I mean, my future age? … 25 not 18 or 19. Great. I also remember the last 7 years, or… the next 7 years into the future from my current position in the timeline? My head hurts from this time travel and alcohol hangover. I'm thinking too hard. I’m NOT Martha McFly goddamn it all! I see the store I tried to buy the aspirin in; I know I'm getting closer to the alley I woke up in. I take a quick glance at the magazines on the street vendor shelves and I'm remembering things from this time in my life. Things I haven't thought about in a long time. This is SO surreal. My eyes light up as I see the old man that was trying to aggressively get me out of his alleyway earlier, sweeping the front of his store. I dodge out of sight, I don't want him to yell at me again. No, thank you. I wait until he's not looking and I dive back into the alley. I look around where I woke up trying to find my friends. On one hand, I don't want them here. It's dangerous and crazy. But on the other hand, I'm hoping I don't have to do this alone. Plus, I don't know if what I do here could make it to where I don't even meet them in the future at all. My head is throbbing from all of this thinking and inner monologue. “Meg?! Natalie!?" I yell walking further down the long alley, my shoes tapping the broken pavement; echoing off the walls. “Lexie?! Are you here!?" I'm beginning to panic the longer I go without finding them. What if they are here, but they got “dropped off” somewhere else?! There's a whole world they could be in! I start to feel a panic attack coming on and I have to stop to slow my breathing. I rest my forehead on ad brick wall closing my eyes. “Unnie?” I hear the most beautiful voice I've ever heard coming from the other end of a dumpster a few feet away. “Lexie! Holy hell! Are you okay?!” I run over to her and drop down on my knees. She's sitting upright against the wall. I pull off my thin jacket and put it around her shoulders, then I wrap her in my arms. She hugs me and chuckles. “Unnie, I've never drank, but is this what a hangover feels like?” “Oh baby, probably…” I laugh with a few tears in my eyes. “What happened? Why are we outside?” “I… you don't remember anything?” She shakes her head. Oh boy. “Okay, well-“ “UNNIE! LEXIE!” I snap my head down to the opposite end of the alley from where I woke up, and my tears double down my face when I see Natalie and Meg coming our way. “Baby, are you OK?” I quickly ask Lexie, who's still sitting on the ground in my arms. “I think so, unnie.” “Okay, I'll be right back! Just… Don't… Move… Okay?! K…” I smile at her standing up. I turn back to the direction of my other dongseangs and begin to run to them. Meg seems to be holding Nat up with her arm around her waist, and Nat’s limping. I immediately feel guilt. I did this to them. Me and my stupid, pathetic love for a man that doesn't even know of my existence! If I do meet you Park Chanyeol, I'm probably going to sucker punch you. Hard. “Holy crap, I'm so glad you guys are OK!” I pant flinging my arms around both of them. We hug each other tightly. “What happened?” I motion down to Nat’s foot she's elevating and I get on the other side of her, assisting Meg with the transport. We start to move slowly back to Lexie who is standing up, dusting herself off. “We're not sure. We both woke up over there behind that building… back there.” I look behind us at the back of the building where the 4 buildings’ converging back alleys are. One of the buildings has a gate and barbed wire surrounding it. Well, that's not seedy at all. Nope. “Well, she could have dropped us off somewhere less shady…” I whisper under my breath. I'm not sure they realize yet what really happened here. I want to break it to them gently, even though, I don't quite yet understand or accept this situation entirely myself. We meet Lexie halfway and she joins in with another family group hug. “Nat, are you OK? Meg?” “Yeah, we're OK, Lex Mex. I'm not sure how I sprained my ankle. Did we help you finish your bottle of whiskey last night and pass out back here? This feels like a massive hangover or something.” Nat laughs a bit. I bite my lip in response. Not even close. “Yeah, I feel like I got hit by a bus.” “I'm not sure. I don't think so.” I reply nervously kicking some rocks with my red Converse. “And not a bus, Meg. A giant clock maybe…” I have poker face as I trail off and I try to not bust out laughing. What? If I can't joke in this situation, what else can do?! Cry? Scream? Pray? Ball up and refuse to life? No. Not my style. “I don't like this at all.” I squeeze Lexie's hand to reassure her. “Unnie what? A giant cloc- wait, where's my phone?” Meg pats herself down and looks around frantically. We join in looking along the alley heading back to where they woke up. I decide to wait a bit to tell them what I think is going on. I know they'll try to throw me into a psych ward or rehab when I tell them. They'll have to come to my conclusion on their own… hopefully they'll accept this reality so we can move on faster to find a solution. We get to the middle of the back of the 4 buildings and after 5 minutes of looking, I spot her phone on the ground in some tall grass next to the fence with surrounding barbed wire. “Oh, Meg, I see it, hang on. I'll get it.” I unlatch my arm from around Nat and Lexie and trot over to where I saw the phone. Every second I'm outside, I'm getting more and more cold. My lips are trembling uncontrollably. I’m not really paying attention as I lean down to pick up her dead phone. Bam! I suddenly fall backwards, throwing Meg's phone, when some sort of ball hits the chainlink fence right near my face. I'm about to unleash hell on whoever threw that at me, which I now see is a soccer ball that's rolling to a stop on the pavement over the fence. My head throbs in response to the sudden stimuli. “Yah! Chincha?! Can't you see I'm on an important cell phone recovery mission?!” I say to anyone who’s listening on the other side of the fence as I stand up furiously dusting off my behind and black skinny jeans. “Oh! I'm so sorry. So sorry!” A voice says in Korean from over the fence. I glance over at him and he's bowing profusely; he's got his hoodie over his head concealing his features. “Yeah, you better be.” I mumble. 2 more guys run over to him and begin to bow and apologize too. “It's fine, really. It just scared me. No harm, no foul, guys.” I say in Korean, as I'm picking up Meg's phone again. I figure I'll need to speak Korean from now on. At least to the people here from this time. “We were just playing some soccer on break! We're sorry again, noona.” Noona? Well, thanks for assuming I'm older than you, you little brats. “Really…” My teeth are chattering, “it's okay.” I finally look up and my breath catches midway up my lungs making me cough and choke a bit. After composing myself, I squint at them. This isn't happening. “Aren't you cold? Don't you have a winter jacket? You're already getting sick!” The tall, lanky one says throwing the ball up in the air over and over. “Uh, yeah. I just, um… got into town. I wasn't expecting South Korean winter weather to be perfectly honest. Do I know you?” Fortunately and unfortunately, I know exactly who they are. “Probably not!” The smallest of the 3 says to me. “I'm Baekhyun, this is Kris hyung…” He motions towards the tallest, “and he's Chanyeol. What's your name?” “I… uh… I… Ren, Ren Baek. Baek Ren. Baek Seoyeon. Laur- Ren. I'm Ren.” I can't even get out my freaking name in this tornado of a scene. But, on the bright side, they now know my name and that I exist. Progress! I TAKE IT WHERE I CAN GET IT, PEOPLE. Touché gypsy ahjumma. Touché. I look back at my dongseangs still standing at the entrance to the alley talking amongst themselves and then back to the 3 SM rookies behind the fence. I literally have no idea what to do at this point. These are definitely not the seasoned, egotistical, untouchable EXO men I've been following for 6+ years. The same ones that looked right through us less than 24 hours ago. “Ren Baek? You're not from here, are you?” Baekhyun grins. “That’s the understatement of the century...” I chuckle nervously running my hands through my long red hair. They blankly stare at me blinking their eyes. I'm normally full of words, but I got nothing. I feel like I'm in a dream or on LSD. When I imagined the day I would meet Chanyeol and EXO, I can tell you… It wasn't like this. STAY ON SCRIPT, EXO. WHY. “Lauren Ashley! Come on!” I look back at Meg calling me irritated. They won't believe this. “Who is it, unnie?” Lexie yells across the courtyard. “What?!” I quickly spin around plastering my outstretched arms, back, and legs against the fence, to prevent them from seeing who I've “randomly” met, causing it to shake violently behind me. They aren't ready. I'm not even ready. “Just some amateur soccer player enthusiasts! I'll be there in a second!” She nods turning back to the group. I slowly turn back around still trying to conceal them. “Lauren?” “Ashley?” The boys say amongst themselves. Thanks, Meg. Kris links his fingers into the fence holes looking at me smirking and stepping closer. “Mmm yeah, that's m-my full name. Everyone calls me Ren though. She calls me that when she's irritated.”   I laugh a bit as I look down at my feet and I shiver slightly. “I think I like Lauren better.” The young Chanyeol beams. “Me too. It's exotic.” Baekhyun and Kris nod. Exotic. K… we’ll go with that. “Come on! It's time for dance!” The 3 boys and I look behind them at the double doors, now held open by another young, future EXO member. Well, hello, long haired, crazy cute Suho, leader nim. We're in so much trouble. “Ne, hyung! Nice to meet you, noona!” “Sorry for the ball.” Baekhyun and Chanyeol wave running off towards Suho. I wave at Suho and smile, but he doesn't acknowledge me. Stranger danger alert mode much, Suho? Smart. Keep those sasaengs from well… Sasaeing. You can never be too careful. Noona mode: activated. I shrug and as I'm about to tell Kris to go and not get in trouble, my vision goes dark as something lands on my head. I hear the young Wu Yifan laugh as I pull it off my face slowly, pursing my lips somewhat irritated. I don't like surprises. “Stay warm!” The barely adult Kris runs off yelling back at me in English with a smile that makes me blush. “T-thank you!” I yell back at him before he disappears behind the double doors. It's quiet again with the exception of my friends chatting about 30 ft. away and the obnoxious morning birds hovering around. Get lost. This is no time to serenade me. Do I look like I need to be serenaded by a flock of birds right now?! No. I look down and I bring the hoodie up over my head, then smooth it out. He gave me his hoodie. Of course he did. I sigh biting my lip and prepare to rejoin my unsuspecting dongseangs. “Here's your phone, babe.” “Oh, thanks unnie. Who were those kids? Did he give you a hoodie?” She looks confused and curious. “Uh, I don't know and yes. He said I looked cold. Hey, let's go find an ER to get your ankle sorted out Nat, yeah?” I change the subject quickly looking towards Natalie and she really does need to get it checked out. “It's not THAT bad, but yeah, OK. Let's go. I don't want to miss our flights.” Nat says. I have a feeling we’ll be waiting for those flights for a long time. I return to Nat’s side assisting Meg in helping her to walk once more, and I grab Lexie's hand again. “Seriously though, what happened last night?” Meg chimes in halfway down the street. I'm waiting impatiently for them to get a crash course in our situation at any moment, like what happened to me earlier. I'm struggling to find an opening to tell them. Who knows? I might have just finally snapped and I'm hallucinating all of this. That would be preferable to this. “Oh look, I think that's a walk-in clinic across the street.” I say pointing. It's in Hangul and English. “Why is everything in Korean?” Lexie questions looking around as we walk the crosswalk. “Little Korea?” Nat answers. “I read about this area in my inflight magazine on the way here.” I huff in relief. Sure, we’ll go with that for now. We reach the clinic and I open the door for everyone. A tall Korean woman is standing behind the desk. “Hello.” I say bowing. The others join in my greeting. “I'll get you checked in, Nat.” “Thanks, unnie.” I walk to the counter and tell her what we need to be seen for. She hands me a clipboard to fill out. Great. Hangul it is, even though I'm rusty. I sit down next to Nat and instead of handing her the clipboard, I offer to fill it out for her. Thankfully, she agrees. I fill out what I can and ask her when I don't know the answers to certain questions. “Okay. I think that's it. Sign and date here.” I hold the clipboard as she signs. I smile at her getting up and as I approach the woman, I stealthily scratch out March 19, 2018 and write March 19th, 2011. I have got to tell them. Soon. After a few minutes, a nurse calls Natalie back to get examined. “You guys can wait here if you want. I'll go with her.” I help Nat sit down in a wheelchair the nurse brings over. Meg and Lex nod in approval. Nat and I sit in the exam room waiting for the doctor. I'm praying he speaks English. It's not like we can't understand, but I just don't want Nat to get suspicious when they start rip roaring in Korean. We're supposed to be in Los Angeles. “You OK, unnie?” Nat questions softly. “Yeah, I'm OK I think. I'm more worried about you though, you clutz.” I joke. She scrunches her eyebrows with a thoughtful expression, not the giggle I anticipated. “Wait, I remember we were in the hotel and… ET Korea was on. Didn't Chan and Dara get engaged? You were devastated. After that, it's all hazy.” I cringe inside at the thought of the impending engagement, but I hope the fog will clear. Fast. After a few knocks on the door, a doctor comes into the room. He begins his exam in Korean, but we talk to him in English. I'm beyond relieved when he picks up our queue and responses in broken, but decipherable, English. “Okay, we do an X-RAY now. Be back soon.” We bow and thank him. A few minutes later, a nurse comes in to wheel her off to X-RAY. I’m alone now. Just me and my thoughts. I decide to pull out the “rules” letter again. I better get aquatinted with this before I attempt an explanation to them. God help me. “Rules of Time Travel:” I sigh and roll my eyes. 1) DO NOT try to contact your “past” self or try to meet them. Stay far away from your doppelgänger. The consequences could be disastrous. You could consequently end up not existing at all, past or future. Just because you're here, it doesn't mean your past self disappears. I nod my head thinking this makes sense. I'm just about to read the 2nd rule when the door swings open violently. I jump. “Unnie. We need to talk. Now.” Meg and Lexie are standing there looking half panicked and half angry. I must have a horrified look on my face, because I have a pretty good idea what's coming next. “Show her, Lexie.” “Why does my phone say we're in Seoul, SK?” Lexie pipes up holding her phone in front of my face. She must have found her charger. I let out a breath I'd subconsciously been holding in. “Unnie, did you drug us and fly us over here in the middle of the night?! Just to try and stop this engagement or something crazy?! You know we'd never agree to this otherwise!” Meg stomps further into the room with her tirade. Oh. I’m dying laughing on the inside.

Hottests waited five years before this comeback. I became one way back in 2011 after watching Dream High, but even after being a fan of EXO, BTS, SISTAR, f(x), and now, ITZY, I always -- as in always -- go back to 2PM. It really warms my heart to see how they have been together after all these years -- more than a decade in fact. And while other 2nd generation K-pop groups decided to call it quits or be on a hiatus, 2PM was one of those groups that go beyond performance but has really bonded as brothers, as a family. 

So thank you, oppas, for fulfilling your promise to us Hottests that you will come back. Thank you for your love and for making us happy. We love you!!!!

writer ask game! tagged by @hello-kumamimi, thank you for the tag mimi!

tagging @poeticnotions 💛

1. what fandoms have you written for (but do not currently)?

I' ve written for bts before but not anymore. As for other groups that I write but is not on this blog would be Got7, Astro, Stray Kids, SF9, etc.

2. what fandoms are you currently writing for?

Currently writing for ateez, exo, nct, wayv, seventeen and the boyz. Will probably add more group to write for this blog in the future.

3. how long have you been writing?

For quite a long time, since 2011 ish if i'm not mistaken. But I never posted any stories until 2014 which was on AFF then I stopped posting and only started posting back when I started this blog which was April 2021. Basically I never stop writing just never share them to the world haha

4. on which platforms do you post your stories?

Only on Tumblr

5. what is your favorite genre to write?

I love writing angst and fluff but I mostly write romance which is a given considering the audience love it hehehe.

6. are you a pantser or a planner?

It depends but I mostly plan things out if it's a request. If it's not then I just write them out like the latest imagine 3 am

7. one shot or multi-chapter?

I used to write chaptered fics back in the days but I never get to finish even one and got kind of anxious about writing them thus why I take a lot of time when asked for a part 2 for my oneshots. So I prefers oneshots.

8. what is the perfect chapter length in your opinion?

I really enjoy reading long fics that can go up to 10-20k words. I also think that short (3-5k) multi chaptered fics are nice too. But I can't write that long just love reading them.

9. what is your longest published story? is it complete?

It's my poly vampire oneshot that was requested! I love the fact that I made the story flow nicely (for once) and it was my first take on a poly vampire story too. Here's the story for anyone curious. For Eternal

10. which story did you enjoy working on the most?

This was requested by @hello-kumamimi and honestly I enjoyed writing this eventho it got angsty at some point but I made sure the ending was fluff and decent. It's a Xiumin oneshot which you can read it here if interested.

11. favourite request you have written and why(if any)?

There's so many because I got a lot of unique requests but since I have to choose it would be Hawk Eyes! It got the most notes too which I would never expected and it made me so happy I literally smiled the whole day. Thank you!

12. are there reoccurring themes in your stories?

Romance! and slowly but surely suggestive themes that I hope won't burst more in the future hahaha

13. current number of wips(works in progress)?

Currently there's 8. I should really work on them now.

14. three things you have noticed about your own writing.

Typos. Typos everywhere even after i proof read them like 10 times. I apologise for that and will get to it once I have the time. I feel that my sentences sounds childish or simple? It's been awhile since I write regularly so yeah. Last thing would be how I just love to end stories with the characters in bed (tmi, sleeping is my hobby explains why hahaha). Tbh, I'm bad at ending thus why i am asked for part 2 a lot or end the stoies with dialogues. Will work on this more..

15. a quote you like from a published story.

“I don’t know what is going on in his head but I promise I’ll come back for you. You remember that, okay?” - Wooyoung (For Eternal) I actually teared up writing that line.

16. a quote from an unpublished story.

“If you keep staring like that, she’s going to get upset again.”

17. space for you to say something to your readers

Hi there, it's Ara! I was really worried and anxious about starting this writing blog but after getting a lot of support from irl people who has read my works, I finally did it!

I would like to thank every one of you who follow and read my works and take the time to like, reblog and comment and even put tags on them.

Pitch Me your thing!

HELLO HELLO MY SUNBEAMS. For most every category, there was an impressive turn-out for pitches, so I thought we’d utilize the weirdness of this year’s GIFTENING to give something new a try. The popular vote winner for each category will happen on the first day, but on the second, the winner will be chosen from YOUR PITCHES. Mostly those pitches will be to me. The exception is in Miscellaneous, where you’ll be pitching to my family, because what I want to do and what is most entertaining isn’t necessarily the same thing.

So! How will we do this thing? GLAD YOU ASKED. I’ll link you to a form in a minute with space for one pitch. Once you fill it out, you’ll be asked if you want to do another. There’s no limit to the number of pitches you can send in! But remember that if you submit multiple entries for the same category, you’ll basically be competing against yourself.

NOW WE’VE GOT SOME RULES FOR DOING THIS (which I mostly stole from Holligay, because I have no creativity this year). Please read them carefully! I’ll toss pitches that break any of these, and I’d rather your hard work not go to waste.

Pitch Me is open for your submissions from RIGHT NOW (22 December) through the very last day of this hellyear (31 December) at 11:59pm MT.

The thing you pitch must have come from what was nominated for THE GIFTENING 2020. (Full list of those nominations in every category below the cut on this post.)

Entries must be unsigned! I’m looking to chose based on the pitch alone, regardless of who submitted it.

The pitch itself must be 100 words or less. HAVE PITY ON ME I CAN ONLY CONSUME SO MUCH.

If you’d like to get some help, ideas, feedback, all that good stuff, the Discord is a FANTASTIC resource I encourage you to use.

HERE IS YOUR PITCH SUBMISSION LINK

And, as promised, below the cut you’ll find the list of all the nominees in every category you guys sent in this year. IT’S A LONG LIST HAVE FUN WITH THAT

191121 At SuperM's Stunning MSG Show, New York Learns the Meaning of K-Pop 'Supergroup'

It’s been nearly a decade since SM Entertainment last held its lablewide SM Town Live event at Madison Square Garden back in 2011, but last night (Nov. 19), the company’s newest cross-company-formed boy band SuperM brought its talents to the famed New York City venue to give the Big Apple its first taste of what it means to be a K-pop supergroup.   

Clocking in at around an hour and 40 minutes, SuperM’s We Are the Future Live felt less like a concert showcasing the group’s music, and more like a promise of their potential. Less than two months since the release of their Billboard 200 chart-topping debut EP on Oct.4., the event was a tantalizing taste of more of what’s to come as they continue on this new path, and a reintroduction of sorts to the seven artists.  

The thousands of fans in attendance had seen each member perform on his own and with his respective primary boy band, whether coming from SHINee, EXO, WayV, or NCT 127; but We Are the Future showed what it means for the world to meet Baekhyun, Taemin, Kai, Taeyong, Ten, Lucas, and Mark of SuperM. 

Throughout the night, as a whole, as smaller units, and as individuals, the septet’s members dominated the MSG stage through a setlist that that showed off what exactly had made fans come out in droves, with banners declaring the event “sold-out” prominently displayed throughout and surrounding the NYC landmark.

As is fitting of a group that emphasizes the performance elements of their music, SuperM's greatest strength is their combined stage presence as dancers and the night was bookended by two of their most dynamic performances, kicking off with the captivating east-meets-west vibes of “I Can’t Stand the Rain” and ending with the explosive “Jopping,” each of which showcase SM’s SMP -- SM Music Performance -- style of songs that are produced by the company to be best experienced as a live event.

Between the pair of songs, the artistry of each member and the act's chemistry was put on display, with solo stages flitting between energetic, magnetizing performances of "Super Car," "2 Fast," “No Manners,” and two new songs, the a capella-infused "Dangerous Woman" and the lively "With You" littered throughout the setlist, with SuperM’s songs serving almost as a frame for the portrait of each artist to stand upon.

First up was Taemin -- he regularly holds his own solo concerts -- who opened the solo portions with dramatic performances of “Danger” (which even incorporated a bit of SHINee’s “Sherlock” as a nod to his primary team) and "Goodbye," setting the crowd afire with his pristine movements. He was followed by the second of SuperM’s three T’s Taeyong, who delivered his rambunctious “GTA.” Performing partially masked, he showed off both his gruff rap flow and his theatrical performance style, including a false cough partway through the song and ending with him being dragged off stage by backup dancers.

Ten arrived next with his ethereal, choreography-focused “Dream in a Dream,” another track infused with traditional Asian instrumentals, and his inspirational “New Heroes,” both of which showed off the Thai artist’s fluid movements and rousing vocals, and obvious were crowd favorites, with MSG roaring with delight over the Thai artist. Lucas’ “Bass Go Boom” then shifted the tone of the night towards playfulness, boisterously performing over as comical images of himself floated behind hm on screen, putting the focus on the rapper’s well-beloved, bright and good-humored personality as much as his artistry. 

As We are The Future geared up to become an event of the past, Baekhyun took to the stage to dominate MSG as he performed his recent releases from his City Lights album, “Betcha” and “UN Village,” showing off his dramatic vocal register as he vacillated between the groovy, upbeat tone of the former and seductive slink of the latter. Mark, one of the two 20-year-olds in the lineup along with Lucas, followed and introduced the world to “Talk About.” As he charismatically rapped and commanded the stage in a fluffy green jacket, it was almost as if a shadow of his potential growth hung over the young star like a warning label reading, “Prepare for the coming domination of Mark Lee.”

The solo sets ended with Kai’s alluring “Confession,” a song he’s performed at EXO concerts over the past few months, tempting the crowd with his partially shirtless moves surrounded by flames, almost as if whispering words of seduction into the ears of thousands of audience members at MSG even while urging them to confess, beguiling them through his skill as a dancer. 

The finale set of “No Manners,” performed sensuously by Taemin, Kai, Taeyong, and Ten, the high energy, unreleased “With You,” and their powerful debut single “Jopping” closed things out, ending the night on a high, with all of MSG jopping along to the septet’s directives to move to the left and the right. 

Throughout it all, fans participated in the event as collaborators of sorts, with handheld light sticks creating a multi-hued light show. Like SuperM that spans SM's roster, fandom divisions fell aside as bluetooth coordination brought together the devices to create a crowd of unified color, regardless of whether it was the official device associated with SuperM, SHINee, EXO, or NCT and WayV. 

We Are the Future Live gave the New York City crowd its first taste of SuperM, and teased more to come, with shouts and promises of “we’ll be back soon” and “see you again” from members as they walked off the stage for the final time. Like an appetizer before the main course, the show whetted the appetites of SuperM’s audience, eager to see more of what the seven men can offer the world, both as a whole and through their individual artistry. If selling out and taking over MSG is possible in less than two months since the release of their first album, it’s worth anticipating what’s next from SuperM. Though NYC may have to wait a bit, others throughout the country will be able to enjoy SuperM again soon: even while MSG was their last concert stop for the moment, they'll be back Stateside early next year with the second leg of their We are the Future Live tour.

Top 20 Most Underrated K-Pop Songs of the Decade (2010-2019) PART 1

The 2010s has come and gone before we knew it.  

Continuing with the K-Pop Timeout Tradition (see 2018 Ver) of listing the Top 10 Most Underrated K-Pop Songs because all the other sites are just bothered with the Top 10 that pretty much everyone will have heard of/have fan wars over, below we have created a list of the Top 20 Most Underrated K-Pop Songs of the Decade because 10 spots is not enough to cover the amount of talent slept on.

For these reasons, we will list 10 of them here in PART 1 and an additional 10 in PART 2. This is in alphabetic order NOT in the order of awesomeness because all of them are awesome. Also, all MVs are linked in the song titles because Tumblr won’t let me share that many videos in one post.

100% “U Beauty” (2014)

TOP Media has really failed to make their groups successful since TEEN TOP (and have not really promoted TEEN TOP these days either) and 100% was the first group to fall victim to TOP Media’s poor promotions. Debuting in 2012, the group had so much potential and talent. Rockhyun is arguably one of the best K-Pop main vocals of his generation (which global superstar Rain concurs as a coach on KBS’ “The Unit”) but most K-Pop fans won’t even know.  Out of their repertoire, we found “U Beauty” to be worthy of being in the Top 20 most underrated tracks of the decade because of how catchy and wholesome the song is - boy groups often go for either a very cute or very powerful sound and this was a perfect balance of the two. The boys are able to show their cool and manly side through the powerful choreography and the soothing bridge while the rest of the song is cheerful and sweet. It blows our mind that these boys did not receive more attention in 2014 following such a great track. The boys are still an active boy band so go support their latest releases and check out this underrated gem called “U Beauty”!

A-JAX “INSANE” (2013)

A promising boy band which debuted during DSP Media’s more problematic years (essentially this whole decade until 2016/17), A-JAX never got the promotions they deserved. “INSANE” could have been the right direction for the group to pursue (except DSP gave them cute songs afterwards and later no songs at all). Perhaps because this song was slept on at the time of promotions (the album only sold around 2000 copies) that DSP did not try the sound again. However, it is powerful, slightly dark, yet poppy and fun with a good amount of EDM thrown in. We have had lots of quirky sounding girl groups like f(x), Orange Caramel, Red Velvet and Oh My Girl but not many quirky sounding boy bands since SHINee. “INSANE” was a unique song that could have paved the way for A-JAX to have gone down such a path. While the group has officially disbanded this year, “INSANE” is without a doubt one of the top underrated bops of the decade that you should check out!

B.A.P “WAKE ME UP” (2017)

B.A.P had a great start during their early days and were essentially EXO’s rivals in the 2012-13s and brought the powerful self-produced boy band sound before BTS’ debut. However, likely due to a combination of TS Entertainment being shit and them being shittier after the members sued them during 2014-15, B.A.P never reached the heights of their early 2010s popularity again after returning in 2016 and have officially disbanded in 2019. While B.A.P dropped many underrated bops in their final years, we found “WAKE ME UP” to be the one making our Top 20. Not only was this song wonderful to listen to with the haunting repeats of “WAKE ME UP” in the intro and chorus, but it also has a brilliant message as one of the first K-Pop MVs to clearly illustrate different types of mental illness. Especially since the lyrics also spoke to some of the members, especially leader Bang Yongguk’s own mental health struggles, it was frustrating seeing such a good and heartfelt song receive so little attention in South Korea. If you love meaningful K-Pop tracks, you would love “WAKE ME UP”!

C-Clown “Shaking Heart” (2013)

C-Clown was one of the many amazing new groups in 2012 and had a clear sound and direction of ballad-pop bops. “Shaking Heart” was the last song they made in that style before their company made them go for the more generic mainstream hip-hop heavy sound and it definitely one of the best songs of the decade that was heavily slept on. It showcased the vast talents of the group - Kangjun and Ray’s amazing vocal colour and range (and lowkey still most visually powerful vocal line from a small label), Rome and TK’s contrasting rap styles, Siwoo’s consistency and Maru’s potential in becoming a golden maknae. The group has unfortunately disbanded in 2015, only 3 years after their phenomenal start. While most of the members appear to be doing quite well, with Rome (now going by his birth name Christian Yu) having founded DPR and being a famous K-Pop MV director, Kangjun having a solid modelling career and Maru re-debuting as the main vocal for RnB trio TREI, the group itself could have done so much more if more people took notice of what a bop “Shaking Heart” is and gave them the opportunity to do more tracks of that style. Hence, if you enjoy boy band tracks that combine more ballad styles with pop, this is the song for you!

Dalmatian/DMTN “E.R.” (2012)

Dalmatian, later styled DMTN, was famous K-Pop producer MC Mong’s boy band that was gaining positive attention until member Daniel’s marijuana scandal. Member Simon often still does impromptu fan meets when he travels for work (he is now a coach and producer for idol groups in Japan) but the group has been inactive following 2013. While DMTN may now be a group of the past, their music was without a doubt amazing, with “E.R.” being a perfect example of the epitome early 2010s K-Pop sound (those who heard the DMTN “E.R”/B2ST “Fiction” mashup back then knows what’s up). The song had an emotional chorus filled with amazing ad-libs and beautiful piano instrumentals, a subtle yet sexy choreography and dramatic MV. If you love the early 2010s K-Pop sound, you would love this underrated bop!

GLAM “I Like That” (2013)

Many new K-Pop fans either don’t know them or only know them as the reason Big Hit Entertainment has not been recruiting female trainees for many years now (because one member went off to blackmail world star Lee Byunghun - you can learn all about the drama here). However, GLAM was actually an extremely promising girl group and the first idol group fully produced by Bang PD under Big Hit. Like their now world-famous brother group BTS, GLAM was a group with great vocals and rap, with no problem going hard in choreography and making woke statements (their debut song includes lyrics about being down to kiss boys or girls). “I Like That” was a perfect example of their style and abilities. While the song was just a remake of 1990s K-Pop track "Why Do You" by Chuli and Miae, it was done so well it was essentially GLAM’s own song. It is fun, it is catchy and just a strong and confident girl group bop that existed early in the decade when most girl groups besides 2NE1 and 4Minute did not go hard but cute or sexy. If you love powerful girl group tracks, you would love “I Like That”!

HISTORY “DREAMER” (2013)

The first boy band ever debuting under LOEN Entertainment (now Kakao M), the 5-member group of all visuals had many amazing tracks usually in the vein of dark and sexy concepts. The members were also active in song production and choreography and honestly had everything one could ask for to create a successful group. However, South Korea and overseas K-Pop fans both did not seem to have noticed the existence of such a talented and consistently awesome group and they disbanded in 2017. “DREAMER”, their debut track, is arguably one of the best songs of the decade because of the stage musical style of the song - the piano instrumentals in the verses and the marching band inclusion in the buildup to the chorus, with the crazy smooth footwork and wonderful harmonisation of the boys. There is no other K-Pop boy group song like this. If you are a fan of musicals, this is the song for you!

Ladies’ Code “Galaxy” (2016)

Ladies’ Code had a strong debut, being one of the top rookies in 2013 along with current superstars BTS. While their developing career took a huge blow after the car accident which claimed the lives of two members, EunB and Rise, the remaining girls Ashley, Sojung and Zuny powered on to continue creating amazing music. It is painful to see how their excellence is still ignored by the K-Pop fan base at large. Even Billboard listed “Galaxy” as the #19 best K-Pop track of the decade and very deservingly so. “Galaxy” was their first return as a 3-piece and see the girls take a darker and more mature sound following their earlier fun and quirky retro bops. This transition was done well, as more retro sound choices like jazz instrumentals and 80s chime synths were still used in this comeback as a bridge between the sounds of the two Ladies’ Code eras. The song also complements main vocal Sojung’s exceptionally raspy and low voice very well. These girls are still active and deserve so much more. If you enjoy the darker experimental tracks of f(x), Red Velvet and LOONA, “Galaxy” would be your jam! 

MYNAME “Baby I’m Sorry” (2013)

Debuting in 2011 under legendary Korean RnB duo Fly to the Sky’s Hwanhee’s label, MYNAME was the boy band you knew could sing. And damn they could sing so well. Even the rappers of MYNAME sing typical K-Pop lead vocal quality. For this reason, it made a lot of sense for MYNAME to go for a more ballad-pop sound and flourish in such a musical environment. While they did produce a lot of great songs of that sound, the lack of attention from the Korean public pushed them to go for a more generic hip-hop based boy band sound in 2015. “Baby I’m Sorry” was an example of the greatness of their earlier sound which was just brilliant Korean action drama OST material. The MV was also one of the rare story MVs that make it seem like you are watching a movie (plus the boys acted well). While MYNAME is still active, they now pretty much exclusively promote in Japan, where they are actually appreciated and chart high. In Korea, the members gave their last shot as being idols in KBS’ poorly received survival program “The Unit” and now just act sometimes or model. If you love dramatic ballad-based boy band tracks, you should check out MYNAME’s “Baby I’m Sorry”!

Nine Muses “Wild” (2013)

Once known as the real generals of the Korean military due to their huge fan base among conscripted soldiers, Nine Muses was THE sexy girl group of the decade who somehow always existed between real fame and nugudom during their active years from 2010-2019. Like they have dedicated fans but they never win music show #1s. And the song that should have really put them on the map for all Koreans and K-Pop fans is their 2013 comeback “Wild”. This was just pop perfection - it is catchy, showcases each of the 9 members’ unique vocal colours and performance style, and had some of the sharpest and most in-sync girl group choreography execution of all time. It was also one in a long line of Nine Muse songs that sound like high fashion runaway music and arguably one of the peaks due to the specific line-up of members at the time. Check out “Wild”, if you would like to listen to one of the best K-Pop girl group tracks of the decade!

The other 10 Top 20 Underrated K-Pop Tracks of the Decade are listed in PART 2.

[biancacelinebb-blog]

writing prompt no. three: what are some recent moments of happiness in your life?

I am a very sensitive person which makes the word “happiness” vague to me. My definition of happiness is something that only I understand. For instances, there might be happy moments that are memorable to me but are just small things to other people. I think it’s because we all have different standards. But as for me, I am a very  shallow person, at top of that a sensitive one. 

If you know me personally, the answer to this question would be a very obvious one. I forgot to write about my Taeyeon experience but it turns out this post would be half writing prompt-half concert experience post. So yeah, the recent moment of happiness in my life would have to be attending Taeyeon’s concert in Manila.

Lately, Taeyeon has been growing up on me. I think it’s because I can empathize with her. I can feel her sadness and her loneliness which are few things we have in common. I don’t know why but I feel her in so many ways to the point that I prayed for her happiness on my birthday. Anyway, I think it’s possible that my fondness of her came from me feeling pity towards her. I even just recently realized that she was my bias in SNSD lol. I always thought it was Yoona. I can only remember jamming to Genie in 2009 and waiting for updates about them but never knowing their names. Weird me. So when I came back to stanning them, Yoona became my bias-- which is not pretentious since I became a fan of her in K2 and I love the way she dances. A friend even told me the worst things about Taeyeon. I can understand where she’s coming coming from since she’s an EXO-L and we were young that time. So anyway, I believed everything my friend said to me about Taeyeon.....until I heard her laugh. I don’t even know why but I think her laugh isn’t the funniest one but to me it is. It all started with her laugh then Rain, my most favorite out of all her songs. There’s this thing going on inside my head that  when I listen to a certain song I can separate all the instruments. I don’t know but I can hear the bass separately as if it’s playing alone, the drums, the rhythm guitars, the keyboards. Maybe it’s because I’m musically inclined. Rain was and is still the most perfect song. So since then, I looked her up on Youtube everyday not knowing that she was “outbiasing” Yoona. In just a matter of days I understood her better-- why she was mean as they I said. Why she was an aloof, why she chose to put her walls up, why she became weird. It’s really weird since you can clearly see the line between 2007-2011 Taeyeon and 2012-2019 Taeyeon. Anyway, since then I always told myself that I’d watch her concert someday. It was impossible for women korean acts to take place in the Philippines. I don’t know why. We only get a bunch of boygroups. I mean SNSD came to the Philippines but it wasn’t like the solo tour one. I don’t know what the problem is so I promised myself to save up and watch her concert overseas. It was almost impossible until rumors came. Once they were slightly being confirmed, I immediately withdrew all my savings. I even sold some of my belongings. It was the first concert ticket I entirely bought for myself...since parents paid for the other concerts.

The rumors were true. Taeyeon eats CDs for breakfast. I am not even kidding. Her true voice sounds better than the recorded one. I also realized that her speaking voice was a little pitchy. Man. I had to let it sink in that I wasn’t watching her on instagram live. It was the best concert I have been to. I was in the loge section of the theater which was perfect. From where I was sitting, I couldn’t hear the first three songs but I lost it all in I Got Love. When I Got Love played, life decisions were made. It was also nerve wrecking since she was experiencing mic problems and in-ear monitor problems. We all know how meticulous she is about these stuff. It was really loud, like really loud. I think it was particularly loud in the loge and seating section. I enjoyed it so much. I didn’t want it to stop. I am very thankful for the Lord for making me live in the same era as Something New. It was the shit. This song takes me to a different dimension every time I listen to it, especially the bass guitar parts. Damn. Rain came and I was completely dead. Rain has always been my mood, I sing it out loud even when I do not know the exact lyrics. Rain will always be the superior Taeyeon song to me. Moving forward, it was fun as fuck. Watch me swear in this post when I haven’t sworn in a single writing prompt before. I saw Taeyeon’s eyes through the giant LED and I could see that she was happy. Her eyes were happy and it was enough for me. I only asked the Lord to see her happy eyes but He also even let me hear her laugh. I can say that neither I Got Love, Something New, Rain, Why, Gemini, Christmas Without You, or I were the best parts of the show. It was when she laughed with us. It was when she said we were saying nonsense for making her want to cry. It was when she forgot what she had to say. It was when she, the korean goddess herself, proclaimed that we were the funniest people. In the last three songs, I can clearly tell it was bittersweet. It was when phones started to go up rather than lightsticks. I think it was because people wanted to keep that moment. Every time a song ended, there were no screaming unlike the other songs. It was bittersweet since people didn’t want it to end. 

Taeyeon did not disappoint me. She was the best. In that small venue was my biggest memory of her. Even if I meet her again someday, it will always be the first. Filipino Sones also did not disappoint. It was funny though that almost everyone were at least at ages 18-40. It was unlike any concert I have seen before. In that venue, it’s like everyone were long time friends. I even got along with my seatmates who were also watching alone like me. I realized that when people share the same happiness, the same goal, the same love, there is unity....which on a bigger scale is hard to achieve for Filipinos. 

This is the only recent moment of happiness I can recall. After the concert, it was back to normal. Me, being lonely. It was really lonely though. I had so much fun at that concert but I had no one to share it with the moment I went home. No one in the family is into this stuff except me so I didn’t bother telling them about it. It was for me to keep anyway.

For Taeyeon, I hope she keeps on fighting. She is already brave enough for choosing to fight her demons. I hope that she will never get tired. I hope that she will only think of happy thoughts. I wish that she’d receive lots of hugs. Someday she will be there. She will get that happiness she always deserved. Until then, I hope she doesn’t give up on herself since she is a very precious human being.

Thunderclap (M) | Chanyeol & Sehun

Author: @julietsoddeye​ AU: Canon Genre: Smut Pairing: Chanyeol x Reader x Sehun Trigger Warning: Nothing triggering, really? I’m pretty sure people on this site are used to smut by now. BUT IF YOU’RE UNDER 18, DO NOT READ THIS! TURN AROUND AND WALK AWAY!!! Word Count: 2,190

Summary: Sehun caught you and Chanyeol doing things and now he’s mad. You have to do something to try and appease him.

A/N: Just PWP (with a little backstory lmfao), I guess. My first nasty ass scenario in a long time. Also we do love writing about threesome stuff in this blog, don’t judge us!!! 😂😂😂

—  —  —  —  —

“Chanyeol, don’t stop I’m almost there.”

You sigh out in Chanyeol’s ear, your left arm looped around his back, your nails clawing his skin there and the other up his neck with you fisting his hair in your right palm as he continues thrusting his hips. Both of you are chasing your high.

You can feel your shirt getting crumpled and wet, collecting both of your sweat on it as your chest is plush against Chanyeol’s unclothed one.

You didn’t even bother removing your shirt because Chanyeol went straight ahead to eating you out. He said tonight is your night, that you will be spoiled and pleasured until it hurts and he wasn’t wrong. He only stopped wrecking your pussy after you literally have tears roll down your cheeks from cumming for the nth time. You were aching for him to be inside of you and you almost pluck all his hair out after your last climax.

You never planned on sleeping with a coworker, let alone with one of the boys. You’ve known all of them since you’ve got the internship at SM in 2011 and they eventually take you in because they were impressed by your dedication and ideas. You were one of the few people responsible for EXO’s extraordinary and immensely loved concept, that’s what got you in, in the first place.

Chanyeol was overseas for his solo activity when you had a meeting about their next comeback last week and today was his only free day. So you told him to just stay put and relax at the dorms and you will be coming to him instead after your meeting with a producer from a broadcasting company SM is tied up with to discuss what he missed on the meeting a week prior.

You thought he would be home with one or two other members, but as it turns out he was alone. They were all out doing solo activities and that’s when he acted upon and advanced on you.

He wasn’t an asshole about it, in fact, he was quite the gentleman. You’ve always known there was a little something, something because every time you and your team arrives in every meeting, Chanyeol and a few of the younger members would start whispering among themselves. You always ignored them, thinking it was just inside jokes among them.

But today, he confessed that he has always been curious about you. Because even though you’re pretty close with all nine of them, you never shared anything passed common courtesy and little jokes outside work-related stuff.

He wasn’t sure if you were single because there never was any indication that you were. You never show or tell anything related to your personal issues. He admires your professionalism and said he finds it (you especially) very sexy.

And now, here you are, fucking each other’s brains out on his bed.

Chanyeol props himself up and grabs the headboard of the bed, and you clutch both of the edge of Chanyeol’s bed on either side of you to prepare for the impact. Your moans and Chanyeol’s grunts counter each other as he pushes deep inside of you.

“Chanyeolie Hyungie, I…”

The both of you were too occupied and too drunk in the moment, you didn’t even hear that someone came in the house and suddenly barge open Chanyeol’s bedroom door.

“What the fuc—”

You scream and pull your shirt down to cover what was happening in between you and Chanyeol. Chanyeol then grabs his comforter to cover the both of you with, him still inside of you.

“Hyung???”

“Sehun!!!”

“Noona??!”

“Se-Sehunnie?!?!?!”

“Hyuuung!!!”

“CHANYEOL???!!!”

“HYUNG!!!”

The three of you exchanges. You can feel your cheeks flush with embarrassment so you cover your face with your hands.

“Hyung!!! This is so unfair!!!”

You hear the whine in Sehun’s voice.

“Sehun-ah…”

“You knew I always liked Noona! And this is what I came home to?!”

“Sehun, listen to m—”

“No Hyung!!! I thought we promised no one will make a move on Noona!!!”

With the way Sehun is acting, he sounded like a petulant child who didn’t get what he wanted.

“What the hell?”

You speak out suddenly, making Sehun look at you and his cheeks flush with your current awkward position.

“Look, Sehun. I am balls deep inside Noona right now, are you really gonna yell at me?”

You almost chuckled at what Chanyeol said, but you stopped it and purse your lips tight to suppress your laughter.

“Sehun, please get out.”

You said calmly after a while of just watching the both of them stare each other out as if it’s gonna make things better for all of you.

“Fine!”

Sehun storms out and chucks the door close with a loud bang. Both you and Chanyeol grimace with how the sound of the door blows into your ears.

“I’m so sorry, Noona...”

Chanyeol apologized and he swallowed the lump that formed in his throat before continuing.

“I didn’t know he’d be home early.”

“What does he mean when he said ‘no one will make a move on Noona’? Does all of you talk about me like that behind my back?”

You start pushing Chanyeol off of you and he panics so he grabs your cheeks and showers your face with rueful kisses.

“No, no, Noona, no. Please, please let me explain. It’s just…”

“Okay, I’m listening.”

You said as you relax your face, Chanyeol sigh in relief and gave you a very wet smack on your mouth before speaking.

“It’s only between Sehun and I. I found out both of us likes you and now I feel like shit because I broke my promise.”

You didn’t exactly know what to do now. It has been a couple of weeks since that incident and Sehun has been dead ass ignoring not only you but also Chanyeol. Sehun gets away with it because he became busy with movie and drama shoots all of a sudden.

During meetings though, Sehun has been nothing but a condescending little butthole who keeps sarcastically countering whatever you put on the table as a joke. The other members, especially Baekhyun and some people in your department, find it funny and thought Sehun’s only being a prankster.

It is normal, after all, that you bicker like best friends during these meetings. A lot of times you would just brush off his being snooty, but sometimes his minuscule jeer would get to you and actually hurt your feelings. Chanyeol can only scowl at Sehun and send flowers or food your way as a form of apology.

That’s why you made Chanyeol convince Sehun to ‘go with him somewhere’, but the truth was you just wanted them to go to your apartment and make peace with the younger man. You don’t know how exactly you’re gonna do it, but you are committed on striking the happy medium with Sehun.

Sehun, before the circumstance happened, was a very sweet guy. He was fun to be with and very accommodating with not only you but also to your whole team.

The seven knocks you specifically asked Chanyeol to do to let you know it’s them indicates their arrival. You lowered the volume of your blasting television and unhurriedly make your way to your door, smoothing out your hair and clothes before opening the door wide.

“Hi,”

You greeted and Sehun’s face soured up immediately right after he saw it was you. A stark contrast of Chanyeol’s wide and happy beam, telling you that he succeeded in delivering Sehun to you.

“Ah, Hyung I thought we’re grocery shopping, why did you bring me here? Where even are we?”

Sehun glares at Chanyeol, with you facing his side profile. Chanyeol didn’t respond or even move, just continued smiling like a robot programmed to just hand over things to you.

“This is my home, Sehun. Come in both of you.”

You stepped aside and motions your hand for them to enter, Chanyeol started moving but was stopped when Sehun stomped his foot like a spoiled brat that he is.

“No, I don’t want to!”

He protested and you sigh out your frustration. Is he going to continue acting like a cranky jerk, God why is this so difficult?!

“Do you wanna cause a scene here, Sehun? Wanna get caught by fans because I am one-hundred percent sure some of my neighbors are EXO fans.”

You lied, mumbling your words through gritted teeth. You’re not angry, you just wanted to make your voice sound low. With what you said, Chanyeol’s already big eyes widen, grabs Sehun by his shoulders and proceeded to push the younger male inside your home. You look around outside just to make sure no one saw or followed them here before closing the door. You went straight to your kitchen to grab a few bottles of different drinks for them to consume.

“What is this, what is happening?”

Sehun snapped as you make your way to them in your living room. Chanyeol was already seated on your sofa and Sehun was just awkwardly standing there beside the coffee table.

“I just wanna talk, Sehun, please sit down.”

With a scowl on his face, Sehun complied and sat down on the couch a few feet away from Chanyeol. He crosses his legs and grabs one of the chilled coffee drink you placed on the coffee table in front of them.

Sehun was pretending to watch the television while drinking his coffee and Chanyeol was just seated there, staring at you like a little puppy waiting for commands. You offered him a sweet smile before squeezing yourself on the couch in between them.

Sehun glared at you as if you did something really bad and when he was about to stand up, you grabbed his thigh to stop him from going anywhere. He immediately froze and gulped strongly, you can see his Adam’s apple bobs up and down.

“Sehun, please don’t be mad at Noona anymore. I hate it when you’re mad at me.”

You say in a sickly candied voice as you rub the inside of his thigh soothingly, making sure not to touch his groin.

Sehun purses his lips and his eyes rolls at the back of his head, letting go of his opened bottle of drink. It almost spilled on your sofa but you caught it just in time with your other hand. You put the bottle aside on the table and turned your whole body towards Sehun who was now looking at you with hooded eyes and very flushed cheeks.

“Are you still mad at Noona, Sehunnie~”

You made sure you say his name very suggestively. Sehun nods his head like an obedient puppy and you gave him a teasing smile.

“I need to hear words, Sehun. Are you still mad at Noona?”

“N-No, I’m no-not mad at Noona.”

Sehun’s breath hitched when he felt the pointer finger of your other hand outline his shard jaw.

“Now, what do you want Noona to do for you to forgive her?”

You lean over him to whisper in his ear softly, making sure your breath lingers over his skin. Sehun closes his eyes shivered slightly.

“Kiss me, Noona… Please.”

The pleading of his last words sends a wave of want down your spine. You then grab the collar of his shirt so you can pull him down on your level and you allow a small smirk before crashing your lips onto his.

Kissing Sehun for the first time is like a breath of fresh air. Unlike Chanyeol who was very soft and gentle with you, Sehun is a different story. He was full of passion, but not rushing and he knows exactly what he’s doing. Not that Chanyeol doesn’t, he’s just sure and is not afraid to match your pace.

Sehun grabs your waist and made you mount his lap. You can tell Sehun’s already super affected because of the tent on his pants that’s thumping on your clothed heat.

You push Sehun off after a while and grabs Chanyeol’s shirt and tug him closer to you.

“Come here.”

You say before capturing his lips with yours. Sehun then pulls your loose sweater down, exposing your neck for him to start sucking bruises with his mouth.

“Let’s go to my room, yeah? My bed is much bigger than this couch.”

Both Sehun and Chanyeol nod their head and you get off Sehun, grabbing them both by their hands to lead them to your bedroom.

You dog finally decides to show itself and you stopped midway when you see it standing in front of your bedroom door.

“Oh, a puppy!”

Chanyeol gushes, actually screeched, when he saw your two-year-old Golden Retriever, its tail wagging like crazy when it saw that it has visitors.

Oh my god I’m not dead?!?! Sorry guys, I’ve been meaning to get back to our regularly scheduled SNUPER blogging, but I’ve just been so busy. Soon, I promise…

So I was tagged by @multyfan1458 to show off my albums, now you all can see what a problem I have… I hope you guys are ready for the long haul 😅😅😅

I keep them in one of those storage cube shelf things (ignore the “It’s Raining” poster behind it, it feel off the wall and I have yet to put it back up). So the first picture is how I have them stored on a daily basis, and then I took a better picture of the CDs in each cube (if you guys want to know what photocards I have, that’s a post for a different day)

The first cube is my B1A4 cube! I have “Let’s Fly”, “It B1A4”, “Ignition”, “Ignition Special Edition”, “In the Wind”, “What’s Happening?”, “Who Am I” (group ver. and Sandeul ver. - I’m on the look out for the other four versions if any know where I can find them), both versions of “Solo Day”, all three “Sweet Girls”, and all three versions of “Rollin’” (I also have “Good Timing”, but it’s in a later cube)

I like to call my second cube my “Rookie cube”. It has my SNUPER, KNK, and single ASTRO CD. For SNUPER I have “Shall We”, “Platonic Love”, “Compass”, “Rain of Mind”, both versions of “I Wanna?”, “유성” (I’m not sure what the title in English is”, “Dear”, “Tulips”, and “Stand By Me”. For KNK, it’s “Knock”, “Awake”, “Remain”, “Gravity”, and “Gravity, Completed”. And then the only ASTRO CD I have is “Dream Part. 01”

The third cube is my SEVENTEEN cube. I have “17 Carat”, “Boys Be”, “Love & Letter”, “Love & Letter Repackaged”, “Going Seventeen”, “AL1”, “Teen,age”, and “Director’s Cut”

The fourth cube is a mix. The first group is BOYFRIEND, and from them I have “Boyfriend”, “Love Style”, “Don’t Touch My Girl”, “I’ll Be There”, “Janus”, “I Yah!”, “Witch”, “BOYFRIEND in Wonderland”, and both versions of “Never End” (I need to get “Obsession” to complete my BOYFRIEND collection). And in this cube I also have “My Copycat” from Orange Caramel. And then the last group in this cube is NU’EST/NU’EST W. From them I have “Face”, “Action”, “Hello”, “Sleep Talking”, “Re:Birth”, “Q is”, “Love Pain”, “W, Here”, and “Who•You”

The next cube is where I put my favourite signed CDs. So here I have “Platonic Love” by SNUPER (yes I have two “Platonic Love” CDs), “Good Timing” by B1A4, and “First Sensibility” by B.A.P

The sixth cube is for Monsta X. Here I have “Trespass”, “Rush”, “Lost”, “Guilty”, “Beautiful” (Brilliant and Beside vers.), “Shine Forever”, “The Code”, and “The Connect”

The seventh cube is the SM cube. From EXO I have “Miracles in December”, “EX’ACT”, “The War: The Power of Music”, and “Universe” and I also have Lay’s solo CDs “Lose Control” and “Sheep”. I have f(x)’s “Pink Tape”, SHINee’s “DxDxD”, Super Junior’s “Mamacita” and “Replay” albums. As well as Ryeowook‘s “The Little Prince” and Yesung’s “Here I Am”. And then the last CD in this cube is “2011 SMTown Winter: The Warmest Gift” (it’s just SM artist singing Christmas music)

The eight cube is a mix. In this one I have VIXX’s “Voodoo”, “Chained Up”, “Boys’ Record”, “Kratos”, “VIXX 2016 Conception Ker”, and “Eau de VIXX”, Day6’s “The Day”, “Daydream”, “Sunrise”, and “Moonrise”, miss A’s “Independent Woman pt. III”, INFINITE’s “Infinitize” and “Reality”, and Girl’s Day’s “Expectation”

The final cube is also a mix. Here I have Eric Nam’s “Interview”, FT ISLAND’s “Five Treasure Box” and “I Will”, CNBLUE’s “Re:Blue”, “Can’t Stop”, and “Blueming”, Pentagon’s “Demo_01”, Demo_02”, and “Positivity”, and finally B.A.P’s “Noir”, “Rose”, “Blue”, and “Ego”

So as I said earlier, it’s a problem. But I love each and every one of them dearly. If anyone else what’s to show off their collection, tag me in it, I’d love to see!!!!

before i reply to anything... favorite song off the new cb ? hm, i feel like a lot of idols' personalities are mysterious.. most likely bc we dont know them irl lol.

kingdom in general ? while i dont like how the competition basically turned into a popularity contest, i just loved the interactions as im a fan/casual listener of all of the groups ! my favorite performances in kd would probably be o sole mio, blue moon and a few others ! what are your thoughts on kingdom ? but if im going to be honest, i think my specific oh moment was when i heard jacob's rap in kmiyc ! (but it was near when kd was airing) YOUR EX CRUSH LOOKS LIKE WHO ??? that person must be really good looking then.. gosh we would be here all day if i list groups i'm/used to be a fan of. but a short list would be skz, nct, & txt ! i listen to a lot of other groups too ! as for concepts, im into more of a darker concepts ! i'm not too knowledgable in the music genre so i dont know names and such, but i can list some songs i really like if you want !

and fake dating seems so much fun ! although i think i would be really flustered if someone gives me any type of affection LOL. tbh, ive always wanted to experience boy-next-door type of stuff ? but i also like to experience any type of magical realism ! and actually, i am ! although, i havent written anything in a while. @-@ at this point i just write for myself now lol. oh ! and when did you start listening to kpop ? who was the first artist you listened to? -🐿

NIGHTMARES!!!!!! 😍😍😍 wbu? omg if you like dark concepts does that mean you like this one too?!?! i can only trust younghoon and changmin who picked this as their fave LMAO

ooh i also really loved blue moon! but my fave has got to be ateez's wonderland perf 😍 it's my fave ateez song and they gave us a movie level performance!! and yeah i didn't like how kingdom became a popularity contest... i went to watch rtk right after kingdom ended and was surprised at how much better it was. group interactions, voting/judging fairness, and also just more creative stages in general?

omg kiss me if you can is SO GOOD!!! wait i gotta listen it again bc JACOB RAPS IN IT??? will have to pay attention more 😅 oooh i've also been into skz and nct at some point, not txt yet but their recent album was amazing!!! what's ur fave nct unit? are you excited for NOEASY?!?!?! the teasers are sounding very promising ✨ AND YAY we got another dark concept stan!!! 😍 i pretty much keep up with all the new releases so yeahh listen to a bit of everything too. but omg what's your personal soty / ur fave songs from this year?

ooh boy next door already sounds so sweet and magical realism would deffs be fun!! and yesss writing for yourself is always the best way to go 💓 i always tell myself that as long as i'm writing something my future self will enjoy reading, then there's no reason to need validation from anyone else. but anyway if you do ever decide to post anything LINK ME!!! omg i got into kpop in 2011............ so pretty much seen it all ahaha. the first group i stanned was bigbang but i've jumped around quite a bit over the years to btob, exo, bts, then was kinda lost until tbz haha. what about you? what was the song that got you into kpop? and omg are you gonna attend changmin and hyunjae's dance class LMAOOO i'm so tempted 😂
