"Old mountain, here you are still, but these are not the same waters:
they have not begun to age, having flowed on each day, each night.
My lover has been pure as water, coming to me, going away."
- Hwang Jini (Joseon, 1506-1567), Old Mountain (from "Songs of the Kisaeng: Courtesan Poetry of the Last Korean Dynasty", translated and introduced by Constantine Contogenis and Wolhee Choe)

Translator: Peter H. Lee (Korean)
I cut in two A long November night, and Place half under the coverlet, Sweet-scented as a spring breeze. And when he comes, I shall take it out, Unroll it inch by inch, to stretch the night.

☆͟ 🃏description: in the world of asia's rich and powerful, nothing is as it seems. behind the smiles and luxuries, secrets, lies, and betrayals are hidden. a group of pretentious young adults, children of wealthy parents from the asian elite, move between parties, business, and scandals.
son of the west's most famous tech tycoon, chenle is arrogant, capricious, and manipulative; his unquenchable thirst for glory and greatness moves him to do the most despicable things if it keeps him getting what he wants: you.
based on little white lies by one direction. to my friend, @ohmytyong ♡
ningning shares a glance at jini.
“stop that,” she says with annoyance. the girl ends up stopping the clattering of her foot on the pavement and disposing of the cigarette; ningning has lost count of how many she has on.
“what if someone saw us?”
“what if?” ningning responds, distracted. “are you worried, little lamb?” ningning was growing tired of the whining of the girl. pure empty concerns, in her opinion. “i thought you wanted this. i thought... you'd kill for it. what if someone saw us? no, better, what if one of us speaks? would it be her brother? would it be... you?”
“hi, girls.” yeji arrives offering them both a cup of loaded coffee. “god, you look like you're losing your shit,” she says to jini.
“i don't like coffee,” she points out.
“i know,” yeji simply responds.
jini lets out a disbelieving sigh. “fuck! am i the only one who's worried of what we've done?” she utters seeking comfort, as if she didn't already know that she won't find it there.
the girls share a countenance that makes jini more uneasy. she opens her mouth to surely continue complaining when she leaves ningning expectant and dazed when nothing comes out.
“what you've done,” you correct, announcing your arrival. “lighter, please.”
ningning shares fire with you while jini watches you in a bewildered look when you share complicit glances with each other but her. “first murder?” you joke, looking at the girl's colorless face.
the three of you watch pleasurably her head putting the puzzle together and the realization settling in her stomach. “you.”
you smile wide and sharp.
you've always found the strange relationship intriguing. questioning every smile and every look; they all play a game that was best not to get into unless you know how to play equally well.
the queen of the deck game.
ningning, with her wit that sparkles like a sharp diamond always seems to be two steps ahead, leaving you to wonder if her words hide sharper edges. yeji, with eyes that have seen more than they tell, hides her true interests under enigmas, and you wonder if her shadowy wisdom is a guide or a labyrinth. jini, with her appetite for success and fortune echoing like a flame, is attracted so much by the heat that she can't stop until it burns.
sometimes you don't know how far the limit is. sometimes you'd like to know it for yourself. one misstep, one wrong play, the stakes are high, and faces are masks.
although, you've always known how to keep your friends close and your enemies closer.
the academy bell rings and you take the coffee from jini's cold hands. you smile condescendingly as the girl seems to have seen a ghost. “next time, do like me and go for the head.”
── 11:30hr 🃏 ago ──
the outlook was promising. the wealthiest people in asia all gathered in one place. the ensembles, clubs, and parties were in abundance as they made deals to become more millionaires with jazz music playing in the background.
the world revolves around the rich. sports cars, expensive champagne, private schools, commodities. the privileged part envied by the masses. gambling, scandals, fraud, felonies, cults, crimes, scams, obsessions was the side that was kept secret. with ambition comes power, and with power comes temptation. something that young blood can't control after tasting a pinch of it.
chenle had had enough of that.
other, less mundane things excited him now. like seeing your delicate skin bristle when you noticed his presence very close to you, your body tense up, your breath freeze in your throat because god forbid it to be so close; chenle had taken all his willpower to contain the urge to bite your naked shoulder.
the eyes of your companions register it under your ignorance. haechan smiles smugly as jisung says, “look who's here. done sucking your father's balls?”
chenle arrives at the circle with a nonchalant air. “ask your mother.” haechan bursts out laughing.
ningning approaches in an ethereal halo with a glass of champagne between her claws of the same shade as her lips. she's machiavellian beautiful, with sharp features, her beauty is certainly a weapon. chenle's aware of the influence ningning has on people, and couldn't be more disgusted by it. “gentlemen, having a reunion without me?”
“god forbid. i have not yet psyched myself up to put up with you so early.” jisung replies, stealing a glass of champagne from a passing tray.
the illusion is stronger when you are together. chenle has grown up with you, he has known you all his life. something so secret and twisted can only exist with people with the same tendencies. and while friendships are bound by affection, you are bound by secrets.
a circle. an alliance. the selected and exclusory society of the young wealthiest children. forged with vice and deception, glory and greed. to be the best. to be the ace.
“so, how's business? making deals to sell personal information to the highest bidder?” haechan wonders, playing with a loose strap of ningning's dress while giving chenle a sly smile although his gaze is not even interested in returning the look at him, somehow spellbound by the nice view in front of him.
he shrugs behind you, “marvelous, how's yours?”
“my dad's closing a deal with one of the big ones. he's been talking to me about it, i couldn't be more bored by the criminal laws,” he concedes, vaguely.
“oh, pardon me. i meant the drug business,” chenle points out causing a flurry of reactions. jisung chokes on the champagne in front of you. his cheeks are flushed and he is flustered from the alcohol.
giggly and careless, your brother's naïveté makes him the weakest link of all. jisung is simply too good and disinterested in anything that doesn't involve going against you. sometimes you wonder if he is so afraid of disappointment that he doesn't even try.
he's never been good at drinking either.
“don't you think you're overdoing it?” chenle casually asks, looking around.
“stay out of my business, would you?” he says fed up before going in his direction and giving him a playful headlock. the pleasant laughter of the pair makes the rest of the group join in just before the music changes and becomes livelier.
ningning lets out a scream and hurries up the champagne, taking haechan to the track without any objection.
“ji, dance with me,” you request under the nagging gaze of the only boy who's unmoved by your charms.
“don't be capricious, sister. you know i don't dance.”
“allow me.”
before you can answer, chenle grabs you and drags you toward the center of the room. the closeness of your bodies only makes it harder for you to manage to stay neutral, not when his fingers seem to be caressing your waist. “how aristocratic, since when do you like to dance?” chenle shrugs his shoulders as he leads you.
“i'm tentative. i am quickly influenced by beautiful things. and because this proximity can be excused if we dance, otherwise, how am i going to be able to tell you without raising suspicions that i know a little secret?”
chenle is entertained by the reaction he gets from you, feeling your heart pounding against his chest. look at you, a whole personification of purity, too bad it can't stand alone. “what about a gentleman never tells?” a sly smile forms on his pursed lips as he hears you.
chenle pulls you to him, your jaw now resting on his shoulder as he embraces you and spins you in his arms. “i am no gentleman.”
“no,” you say, “you're vain, vicious, and perverse.” chenle takes your chin in a playful and twistedly affectionate manner, observing your body slowly spinning until you press your back against his chest. you sway to the melody when you hear chenle clearing his throat. his breath hits your cheek when he laughs then, his hands press you more against him.
you muffle an exhale as you feel him pressing against your back, his hands molding to your waist, the dominant grip he holds you under. “and yet, you find yourself fascinated.” chenle makes you face him, and you shake your head with peppiness. “explain this... lingering feeling every time we touch. i know you feel it too.”
“what thing?”
“this tension.”
“i'm afraid i have no idea what you're talking about.”
“oh, no? may i ask why are you get suddenly agitated when i touch you here.” he moves his hand dangerously toward your naked lower back. “d'you run out of air often, princess, or it's just me?” his warm breath brushes against your ear as he keeps you close.
chenle's intoxicating aroma clutters your thoughts, and you have to make an extra effort not to trip over his feet. “these are your tactics for flirting with girls? i'm very unimpressed.” chenle watches you roll your eyes, curling his lips.
“not remotely close, although i'm pleased that you are interested in knowing my seduction methods. but since you're talking about tactics, i'm deeply curious about whether this is how you act with haechan too or it's just for my eyes only.”
the piece is finished and another one begins right after. however, your bodies remain frozen in the same place, gazes glaring at each other, trying to see weakness, trying not to be the first to bend.
“and that act you talk about is...?”
“playing dumb, which i confess, never looked good on you.” you were always amazed at how chenle's brain worked. calculating wit, this personification of scheming and wickedness made chenle a dangerous adversary.
“i thought you liked them compliant and subtle.”
he hums in denial, “i like them dainty and haunted, like a drowned lily.”
you giggle with a grimace, throwing the boy off. “is that one of your puzzles? sorry, i don't like games.” chenle nods, his tongue playfully pushing the inside of his cheek as he grins in amusement.
you wouldn't be so careful not to play his game. he is a prodigy at plotting, there was nothing that escaped him. the deceptive epitome of why no one beat him at strategy. nothing that would imply competition. billiards, fencing, chess.
if you could describe this interaction, if you could describe even the purpose of the allyship with such devious people it would be a simple card game, and if so, that would make chenle the ace of spades.
chenle escorts you off the dance floor. “no, you just like the chase.”
“what makes you think that?”
he shrugs, with nonchalant air, “i happen to know how much you love the euphoria of being caught doing something you're not supposed to. maybe that's why you hang out with friends who wouldn't hesitate to push you off a cliff, or be part of a circle with such vain people, or how much you want me to fuck you on this dress.”
you burst out laughing, “you're the smartest person in the room.”
chenle delights to see you look around in case anyone has heard him; he also hasn't gone unnoticed the way your breath got stuck in your throat for his words, and you hate yourself for it. he comes so close to you that you smell his manly fragrance. “no. i'm the most ambitious.” his warm lips rest on your skin for less than a second, yet the feeling it leaves in your stomach lasts longer than that.
you let the bewilderment win, and you hate him for that. you hate how he can get into people's heads, how he can mess with yours. by laying his intentions so bare, it can't be that simple. what does he intend to do?
“see you at midnight.”
your eyes follow his devilish figure as he leaves the room, and your hand itches at the place where he kissed you. someone comes next to you and you suddenly feel a sense of rage.
“good evening, would you like to da...?”
a hand reaches out towards you but you cut it off when you pronounce “no.” harshly, reenacting the path taken by the young man with fervent eyes.
── 🃏 midnight ──
the music becomes so subdued, carried by the cool night wind, that it seems like a distant, forgotten dream that slips through a forgotten room full of previous gala guests revealing their true selves after a pretend night when you set foot inside.
there is a pool table in the center where two beautiful bodies touch each other impudently. the air feels heavy and ningning steals a bottle from her father's collection, returning to the hungry embrace of her lover that night.
haechan pulls away from her neck just enough to give you a sly smile.
“well, hi, there,” greets ningning. “done using my brother?” your fingers snatch the bottle of champagne from her, taking a long sip. “oh, i was starting to be afraid that sharing wasn't your thing.” your eyes sweep her under the amused gaze of the tanned boy with lipstick smudged all over his face.
“and i was starting to think incest was your thing.” a pleasing rush washes you by ningning's stunned look, it feels gratifying. “luckily, this is a safe zone.”
she scoffs.
“safe zone, huh?”
“yes,” you assure, “we've grown up together, we're close. it almost feels like family.”
haechan's laughter echoes just when you scan the room.
“cheers to that.” jini laughs, approaching as she drinks from her glass. “let's make a toast for stealing achievements, and stealing boyfriends,” she says to ningning under your bewildered gaze. both girls clink their glasses and their venomous gazes fix on you.
“i don't steal achievements, i own them. but, yes, let's have a toast.” you clear your throat and your fingers steal the glass from jini's hands without her showing any resistance. “to the circle, to camaraderie, to the ace, to boy toys, and last but not least, a toast to the copycats.”
it will always amazed you how you could show your darker side to a bunch of petulant and vain young people and distrust them so much. these people, these twisted people were your friends by default.
besides the pool table, there is a small bar where jisung pours himself a glass of many in the company of the hwang siblings, yeji and hyunjin, sons of the hwang dynasty. their parents were renowned businessmen in the country and that night future partners of your parents, with riches made by extraction and export of precious minerals. haechan was the only child of attorneys who worked in the tax and criminal fields, with the best criminal law firm and soon closing an important alliance at that night's gala. and finally, the zhong. specialized in computer engineering and big data, they've created an empire that ningning and chenle were responsible for squandering.
then there were the... twins? cousins? known, perhaps? you couldn't tell since they both behaved the same way —yujin and yunjin. one was the daughter of fencing's most prestigious director and the other had nouveau riche parents, who were at the time, having a bliss as chenle buried his head (and teeth) in their necks at times.
his shirt is a mess and you soon find out why when yujin runs her hands over his toned, pale chest. then yunjin laughs at something chenle says to her before they both look in your direction and you feel your cheeks burn, choleric.
how dare he? turn you into a joke that he can tell in the ears of his lovers?
“new attendees?” you ask.
“applicants,” chenle corrects.
“in that case, shall we vote?” you suggest, feigning to get the attention of the others. yujin lets out a skeptical huff that chenle tries to ease, but it has already triggered your bigotry. “get. out.”
yujin looks at you dumbfounded as chenle's embrace unravels from their shoulders. helpless, yunjin asks with an anxious laugh, “who do you think you are? chenle?” she seeks for comfort that the boy shakes off when he shrugs his shoulders.
yunjin laughs in awe before leaving in sheer frustration and giving you a dirty look, that you politely respond to with a quick smirk, deciding to back out once you've done your job of ruining his night just as he ruined yours.
you hear chenle's shrill giggle behind you as he decides to follow you closely to the now-unoccupied pool table. “jealous, by any chance?”
“remotely. sick, perhaps.”
“is that what causes you not to have my attention?”
you scoff, “quite the opposite. a friendly game?” chenle takes his eyes off the lower part of your body when you turn around to face him. his darkened eyes go from yours to the cue stick you're holding. a smile dances on his pouting pink lips.
“i like a little bit of challenge.”
“a competition, then,” you solve, going for the rack when chenle intercepts you by taking you by the wrist to go for it instead. the balls are arranged just as ningning's high-pitched laughter breaks out in a soft melody drifting from the floor below.
“stop being so loud, woman.”
jisung turns his head from your direction to look with amusement at the pair. “shall we move the party to the lake?” yeji suggests; they steal a couple more bottles, and a couple of cigars making their way to the exit amidst stumbling and fraternal hugs. jini stays behind, pulling away from jisung and hyunjin's arms to ask, “you coming?”
chenle is not interested in looking at her when he replies “in a moment.” his eyes fixing on yours. a slit of light enters through the half-open door of the illuminated corridor, and chenle's eyes absorb every glimpse of it. “do the honors.”
the crackling of a fireplace warms the place and flutters your chest, or is the gentle brush on chenle on your waist when you head toward the cue ball. chenle watches you from the other end, and that's why your body leans more than necessary and the breeze hits your cleavage.
“has the match already started?” he wonders, darting his gaze from you. his wild eyes following the path of the balls shooting in all directions; you see his mind scheming behind his focused gaze as his feet move in the direction of his target.
chenle disappears from your view and your body betrays you when you smell his lingering fragrance closer. feeling his presence behind you, the proximity once again tortures you. your body is caught in the middle as he prepares to shoot the cue ball with you in his arms.
the warmth emanating from his body impact your naked back as he pins you between him and the table, makes possible for you to feel the growing bulge pushing against your lower back; the unexpected friction catches you off guard. your pelvis twitches in an involuntary motion and chenle misses the cue ball.
he muffles a sound at the time you bite your lips, struggling to suppress the thrill of electricity that runs through you when your mind becomes dense and thick. your body charge with elation and you blush when he hums, the mere gesture sending shivers down your spine. chenle tenses against your body as your back gives in and arch into him, hips moving slightly upward feeling his erection a little more pressing up your butt; the thin fabric of your dress causing the sensation to feel even rawer.
your mind doesn't think it through as you lean across the table taking the cue stick from his hands. fingers instinctively going to your waist as you bend over. dizzily sensing the hardness of his boner, your chest heaves as an avid thrill takes force in your gut.
chenle welcomes you again when you get up and the number 1 ball has entered the pocket. you feel his haunting presence as he removes the cascade of hair from your shoulder and moves closer to your ear, “and it's only just beginning to be midnight.”
you hum, “i'm done with the fun here, i'd like to go to the lake now.” a gasp of surprise freezes in your throat as his hand squeezes on your waist and easily turns you around. you witness the words that freeze in his throat as his gaze drifts below your clavicles, and you are aware at that moment of the soft hardness of your nipples, poking through the silky fabric.
a velvety feeling creeps down your thighs as a smirk blooms on his lips. “not the smartest decision, but sure shit, princess. anything else you crave for?”
“not really.”
a gasping sound comes out of your mouth when chenle squeezes you close to him without forewarning. something wild flutters in your chest under the young man's sharp gaze. your lips part to let out shallow exhalations when his mouth dangerously lurks on yours, tingling with anticipation. eyes closing against your will and body giving in to his command. you become lighter as he holds you like he pleases. “you sure?”
the answer trembles on your lips, but you are unable to say it.
chenle enjoys having you this way. seeing you so affected, your body reacting the way he wants it to. “say the magic words, princess.” you swallow hard when he lurks on your exposed neck, surprising you when your head pulls back to give him more access.
you wait. you anticipate his lips finally resting on your skin, blood burning in your veins, eager to feel him, but you are stunned when he pulls away just enough to look at you again.
your eyesight has become narrow, covered with black fog, your gaze feel heavy if you try to focus on him. you look at him with narrowed eyes. breath becoming a wild beast that writhes and lashes out at your ribcage. mind blurring his sculpted figure with sharp strokes, smooth and tender skin that reveals the first three buttons of his wrinkled shirt.
fuck it.
his fingers dig painfully gently into the untouchable skin of your waist as you slam into his body and your lips attack his. teeth and tongues meeting in disorder, wild gasps as your mouths devour each other to the point of dissolving the other.
his mouth feels hot. his taste addictive. your tongue savor his while your fingers mess up his hair. pull. caress; your emotions scatter and get tangled. your body hums and you find yourself out of breath as you feel him pushing you backwards until you hit the edge of the pool table.
chenle pants against your lips and your instinct is to reach out and bite them with desire under layers and layers of resentment.
“shit.” he mutters, hissing. heart pounding his chest while your hands won't stop touching him. he can do nothing but gasp desperately. he wants everything. being bitten, caressed, kissed.
he wants you. he craves you. always has. his body burns from the rawness and cruelty in which he desires you. your body stuck to his, your predatory eyes on him... his head pulls back, briefly having a lucid moment, and he pants “one last chance.”
his fingers glide down your soft thigh and your eyes close, sensitive. receptive. you feel him position himself between your legs, your thigh slightly brushing against his hips. you see him grit his teeth. one of his hands wraps around your neck gently, his thumb brushes your jaw before bringing his face closer, and you ask “for...?”
“stop pretending.”
you scoff. you delight in watching him frown in annoyance before he falls into a trance as you wrap your wet lips around his thumb. you're able to see in his eyes the urge he tries to repress. how he tries to keep pace with his breathing. how he tries not to get excited about the way your mouth sucks his finger before he chuckles under his breath.
all your boldness shakes as he locks you between his body, hands gripping your waist and assisting you to sit on the board. your arm instinctively wraps around his neck. faces very close. dangerously close. yet chenle doesn't give you a break, and you sense his next move when he tilts his head and kisses you again. unscrupulously. like a hungry man. split lips for his tongue to tease you and taste you a thousand times, breaths suffocating in the other's mouth. tongue swirling over yours before his lips hover over your mouth. chenle sucks playfully, drawing you towards him. sticking to his body. his hands rest on your lower back as he lets you take the reins of the destructive kiss in which your mouths merge.
heads turning the other way when the other does, deeper, safer, bolder kisses. an eternity or maybe a second has passed, in which your mouths meet infinitely, lips fitting into each other, moving to the same beat as the other, imprinting thousands of repressed emotions that you taste them on each other's tongue.
your body reacts to his midas touch. fingers running down your back, arching against him. belly holding everything in a ball that begins to grow and expand, feeling heavier, and harder to keep at bay. it twists you inside and melts towards your intimacy, making you want more.
he breaks the kiss and you watch his arrogant expression falter as he pulls himself together, “well?”
your breathing is ragged and your thoughts are scattered all over the room. your head pulls back, cornered, “fine! i need this, badly.”
“that's my girl,” he rushes to say, succumbing in front of you as his mouth attacks your neck.
his tongue slides down the hot vein that throbs under your sweet skin and it's taking all your will not to whine loudly. a grunt leaves his lips and hits your skin when your nails burrow into his flexed arm, moaning breathlessly. “look at that, she can moan.” your mind collapses from the silky sensation that begins to fill you and makes your fingers go towards his hips, searching for the buttons of his pants.
chenle pulls away from you and helps you take off your pants. your hands finding the bulging from the erection underneath. mouth begins to salivate as the edges of your vision blur, teeth catching your lower lip when a gasp comes out of you. tummy burning with aching desire to see it, hurriedly grabbing your hands on the waistband of his underwear and pulling it down to reveal his manhood.
emotions are too strong to think clearly. turns you into a disaster of clashing mouths and groping. your body buzzes with the intoxicate feeling chenle causes you as he grazes your body and attacks your mouth with fiery kisses. you let the primitive pleasure that lashes your being make you submissive to him when he pulls you down from the table by your thighs and forces you to turn around. his fingers tangle with the bottom of your dress as he pulls it up and exposes your body. “fuck. you know how much i love lacy things.” any hint of a response is undone when you feel his fingers touch your core due to the lack of fabric covering your intimacy.
your breaths freeze for related reasons.
his digits massage the area with delicacy and you feel like you are about to lose your mind. “so deliciously wet.” your body breaks at his diabolical touch. fingers up your folds to the swollen and needy area.
your throat builds a cry. your eyes shut tightly. chenle's fingers slide down at your entrance until they detach from you. the scream comes out of your mouth when he spanks you. “easy, pretty. you'll want to keep it quiet.” his digits attack your clit once again and you dig your teeth into the forearm that holds you against him while his fingers abuse you. eyes roll as he sticks his middle and ring finger into you and starts pumping rhythmically, the coldness of his rings nibbling on the sensitive skin of your entrance. “so soft. so good taking it, darling.” a shudder hits you from the smooth and solid of the material pressing deliciously against you while his digits fuck you.
sounds burst out of you against your will at the pace of his swirls. your walls take chenle's fingers until the squelch sound joins your moans. he pulls his fingers out of you and spanks you again before pulling your panties down.
he makes you take them off completely before he comes back with you and you can feel him press the tip of his penis into your folds, sliding up and down, covering his erection with your luscious excitation to push it inside you with ease. the full feeling leaves you breathless and you find yourself letting out a breathy giggle from the pleasurable sensation that blooms in your lower belly when he stuffs you with his cock.
chenle rocks in and out of you, getting you used to his length, and your legs tremble as he does so, feeling the shot of arousing sensation every time he thrusts you. your heart flutters as the speed changes and you find yourself gasping for breath. pelvis begins to hammer yours mercilessly. your crotch fills with dripping, numbing pleasure as your body twitches and contorts, having moved nothing. chenle dominates you. he holds you in place to receive each merciless, demonically good thrust. moving one hand to your mouth when you threaten to scream from how well he's fucking you. legs trembling as your pussy takes him again and again, you welcome him into your slippery, swollen walls, feeling sensitive. his cock penetrates you with sharp, swift thrusts and you find yourself in space, taking him deliciously. belly filling with searing fire that threatens to spill into your bloodstream.
“god, you feel so well, you feel s—so nice, angel.” chenle fails to contain his own moans, and his teeth bury into the smooth skin of your shoulder, muffling the moans in your skin as he buries his cock and your pussy begins to tingle. “a-ahgh, fuck!” your lips are caught in your canines at the growing knot in your belly as chenle hammers you ruthlessly.
your eyes squeeze closed and a white noise takes over your mind as you try to find your train of thought, but all your common sense vanishes from your hands before the delicious pumping of his cock abusing your needy pussy; heat spreading from your belly and spilling down your thighs.
it takes almost all of your strength not to succumb right there. to not let the wonderful sensation of his cock driving you to ecstasy.
“o-oh god, chenle,” you cry. your body collapses on the pool table and causes chenle to thrust you from another angle. eyes rolling to the back of your head and moaning building up and spilling from your lips from how good it feels. chenle hisses “s-shit, don't stop moaning. f-fuck, yn. you feel so fucking amazing. sound so exquisite.” his thrusts become sharper, your body jolts and the feeling leaves you dizzy and groggy, mind blank as the pleasurable sensation takes over your body.
chenle grabs you tightly by the waist as his pelvis hammers yours roughly, the sound of your skins clashing filling the room along with your moans and the squelching noise of your cunt taking him with each stroke.
the snap of your skin when his palm hits your butt pulls you over the edge. your hands turn to fists as you try to hold it inside, but the fire crackles inside you, and a pleasurable pain forms in your core. the tingling sensation spreads through your belly wildly and you must stifle a scream.
“feels good, princess? too good? want to cum on my cock, baby?” he coos, “fuck, let me feel you. i need to nut in you so bad, need to stuff you nice and pretty.” his cold hands pull you up and slam you against him, starting to stroke your hard nipples, your lips part open to release a curse that chenle waits for with expecting eyes. “fuck, i'm so close,” he announces, stopping briefly to catch his breath.
chenle suddenly chuckles behind you, “yn, don't fucking tell me you're making this a competition?” your laughter turns to an eager gasp when the switch the pace.
the constant movement has turned you into a whining mess as you try to encapsulate your newfound desire. your dress has wrinkled and the straps that hold them now lie undone, exposing your breasts that press against the pool table moving slightly from the magnitude of chenle's pounding.
your head pulls back and a hoarse moan breaks on your lips as his mouth rests on your neck and his teeth nibble on your skin as the thrusts slow down. your body feels enraptured and weak, and your muscles don't respond to your commands, totally carried away by the crushing desire.
chenle mutters something under his breath before his hands leave your breasts and you feel him cover them again with your dress. your cloudy gaze rests on the half-open slit of light coming in from the hallway, and like a spell you return to your five senses as you process what chenle has said before. your hearing comes back to you the moment you hear someone approaching the room, and something wrinkles in your stomach as you feel chenle still inside you, with no hint of pulling out his cock of you. tummy burning with aching thrill when the door opens and a figure hidden by the shadows stops right at the entrance.
your body is embalmed with terror when you recognize the figure. “sungie,” you pronounce, feeling your mouth dry. jisung slowly enters the room and your body tenses; chenle stands still behind you but one step closer and jisung would be able to see that his pants are on his calves. and your dress is wrinkled and moved up to your waist. and his dick is shoved down inside you. you swallow very hard. “still on the billiard match?” he asks with curiosity as he passes the two of you and heads to the bar.
“as you can tell,” chenle blurts out, and takes you by surprise when he moves his pelvis towards you; his penis slides easily in, then you feel him slide out. your cheeks burn at the notion that he's really fucking you while your brother is in the room, “will you take too long? we're in the middle of something.”
your eyes widen in panic at the choice of words and your belly tightens in turn because you're still aroused and because chenle keeps rocking you torturously slow and deep.
“mmm,” jisung hums and forces you to hold back the grimace of pleasure that was beginning to form on your face when he looks over his shoulder. “just came back for more cigars.”
your hand squeeze chenle's bicep as he shoves his cock, hitting the delicious swollen spot inside, rocking side to side to make sure you feel him against your walls, full length coated with your creamy arousal. your hips react impulsively and you grind against him when his hand pushes your stomach towards his dick and you feel it buried in you.
his eyes meet yours when you look over your shoulder, smiling smugly, “just like that.”
“screwing up.” fuck, he said what you think he said? you both stop abruptly when he walks towards you and stops right at the other end of the table. his eyes squint you for what seems like an eternity until his sight falls on the billiard balls. “the game's pretty much fucked up from the way i see it.” he clicks his tongue, “i'll let you to it.”
jisung barely leaves the room when you feel chenle slide out of you. your throat forms a groan when you feel the emptiness in your pussy, forced to die instantly when he spin you on your heels and his hands tug hard at your dress. “hey, this is silk, moron!”
you let him strip you of your dress and manipulate your body as he sees fit when he makes you sit on the edge of the table to slide the fabric down your knees when he responds, “i'll buy you a new one. only if you let me take it off.” the cold bites your bare skin and chenle's heavy, dark gaze devours it. your breath condenses in your throat by the primal look of the boy contemplating your body; it fills you with infinite glory to know how affected you are that your legs spread open.
his eyes fall on your crotch and something furious flutters on your belly when he licks his lips. “gonna stand there and look stupid?”
a wail of surprise escapes your lips as his cold hands open your legs wider to position themselves between them. your hands grind on his shirt, unbuttoning it with nimble fingers as you feel his mouth creeping around your neck. “you look so fucking delicious.” warm lips sit on your sensitive skin and for a moment you forget what you're doing, rolling your eyes as his teeth finally bury themselves in the smooth flesh and his cock enters you slowly.
you feel every inch he pushes inside, hands making you grind against him until he shoves it all the way in and leaves you stargazing.
your moans in unison gather in the air. “o-oh, god.” you swallow hard. face burning and tickling with raw desire damping chenle's cock when he begins to pound you.
chenle's head buries in your breasts and nibbles and sucks on your tits, tongue wrapping around your hard nipples, before taking them in his mouth one and then another, sending shivers down your spine. your insides tighten as he hums and you feel the vibrations of his vocal cords deep within you, wreaking havoc on your sanity.
you're completely out of your head. spacing. thoughts liquefy with every hard thrust he gives you. legs trembling with pleasure as your mouth spills moans one after the other. “jesus, le, o-oh~.” you lock glances with him, watching his face twitch excitedly, brows furrowed, and skin starting to sweat. “so good, princess.” his mouth attacks you fiercely in a wet kiss before his lips move to your shoulder, where he sucks and bites.
chenle makes you drown out a sound when he lunges at you and pushes you against the pool table, laying you on it while his fingers burrow into your ribs without stopping the haunting hammering of his pelvis. cock hitting over and over your sweet spot, making you smile mesmerized at how good it feels. hissing and groaning, “yes, yes.” fog clouding your senses, sharp pain numbing your limbs, dick fucking you so good. “o-oh—” you cry from pleasure, back arching and tears forming on your eyes. the crushing climax coming closer, you bite your lips, troubled.
your body arches and twists, pelvis moving in a spasm towards him, “fuck!” he pants, “fuck, i'm close, s-so close.” his eyes close savoring the thrilling moment of ecstasy that embraces him. your body goes into another spasm as the searing pleasure spills into your belly and runs wildly down into your pussy. “chenle—” a scream escapes your throat before your mind is clouded with white noise and your body is paralyzed before it starts to suffer waves of strong spasms.
chenle drinks every pronounced throb of your pussy, and delights in your clenching walls wrapping around his cock empties his seed inside before taking his length out and milk the rest on your stomach. pearls of cum dripping into your tummy as his hot nut inside you starts to slide out.
the fog begins to recede from your thoughts and now you find yourself totally sober to say “le,” in a whine, staring at your stomach, “you better clean this up before someone comes in.”
your hand gets lost in his hair as he comes down to you and his mouth begins to clean his cum from you. an excited laugh assails you when he also takes the opportunity to bite your belly.
you bite your lip when he gives your pussy a lash with his tongue. sucking and tasting your velvety arousal. you drown out a groan and a current shakes your body. chenle diligently wipes the remnants of ejaculation with his mouth, taking his time. hands spreading your legs wider as he teases you, tongue swirling against your folds and your entrance before moving to your swollen clit.
you let out a shaky groan when you suddenly remember something.
“you still have my panties, a souvenir?” you taunt.
chenle pulls back far enough for you to look into his eyes, mouth pulling away from your pussy when a smile forms on his lips. your body shakes in anticipation just as he pronounces, “a trophy.” he comes over and kisses you, the taste of his cum mixing on your tongue before you break the kiss and look out the door.
“d'you hear that?” you utter.
“the wind?” he says, making a pretense of kissing you again but you stop him.
“someone was there,” you pronounce, blood rushing up your neck just as a knot grips your stomach. “jisung! oh, my god, jisung was standing there!” you squeal, panicking.
chenle removes your nails off his skin and rolls his eyes “okay, and? hope he enjoyed the show, that fucking heathen.”
you shake your head, starting to freak out. “oh, my god! no! it can't be, right?... he c-can't-” you breathe before your eyes glaze at chenle, because the more you come out of lethargy and hysteria takes hold of you the clearer your mind becomes, and the sharper the figure in the hallway. “that foul harpy.” chenle sighs and holds a hand to his septum in anticipation.
“jini,” he states as if it were some kind of poison.
“you have to do something about it.”
chenle snorts, in disbelief. “like, what? killed her?”
“seduce her or something!”
he bursts out laughing. “yn, are you serious right now? remind me why would i do that?”
“because, because! she's blinded by greed. she'll tell everyone, and no one can know, jisung can't know. he'll ruin me.” you mutter.
“because you're daddy's girl?” he sneers maliciously. his eyes squint at you when he sees you so tormented.
you see him debating behind his wild eyes whether to help you or not and panic lures in you. shit. you're willing to cry if it means convincing him, and he can notice it, because he clicks his tongue in delight. “yn, yn, yn,” he says like a mantra, “fine, fine.” he gives in, watching you whipping away the fake tears.
“let daddy take care of it.”
there was no way to describe the relationship you had with zhong chenle. it could be this symbiosis where both parties could get what they wanted. putting your reputation in his vain hands not only made you feel stupid but at the same time relieved. despite being a manipulative liar, he had ambition. you don't think you can remember a time when he didn't get away with something he truly wanted. there was no better prospect than to leave your faith in the hands of his machiavellian wit.
so you return to the party, trying to look composed. but chenle is still haunting your head and not allowing you to concentrate. your parents introduce you to some important figures and you are forced to put up the best façade because jisung is nowhere to be seen to help you.
thinking about jisung doesn't help either.
chenle: meet me at the pier.
the cold nibbles your skin as you make your way to the old zhong pier. you used to come when you were younger in the summer to lie with ningning and jini on the shore to sunbathe before getting splashed by your brother and chenle. vacations on the lake were full of refreshing days where you either took a swim or lay on a boat where you fell asleep from the swaying.
the lake is frozen by a thin layer of ice, and the closer you get, the more you can hear the laughter and pleasant chatter that others have a little further away from you.
there's a cut-out silhouette at the edge of the pier, waiting for you.
“le.”
jini turns around and smiles at you sharply. “just the copycat.”
you smile patiently.
“dear jini, tell me what you plan to do? murder me?” you mention, stepping closer. “are you going to push me into the lake? literally stab me? i'm hard to kill, and i wonder, how long will it take before someone comes?”
“do you really think someone will come?” she utters furrowing her eyebrows, “your brother? who lives under your shadow? hyunjin or yeji, after telling them that you were against the agreement with their parents? ningning, who hates you as much as i do? haechan, or perhaps chenle?” her eyes sparkle when she mentions his name, and the implicit of it gives you chills when you start to doubt whether it was he or she who sent the message.
“you want everything i want,” you provoke.
“gosh, you're so self-centered, aren't you? taking space, and taking the things that were for others. you don't realize this is your end, and no one will come to your rescue. chenle won't come to your rescue,” she corrects.
“oh, no need,” you say simply. “i've always loved to be a martyr, it's poetic.”
“you're quite a psychopath.” she laughs, and it's only at that moment that you notice how much she's been getting closer to you as you talked. “i... like to be ambitious.”
a scream freezes in your throat as she pushes you toward the lake.

skincare recommendations ♡
note: i have very dry skin and don't suffer from acne or oily skin. these products worked for me, but may not work for everyone!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
avocado nourishing hydration mask by kiehl's ୨୧
this stuff literally changed my life!! my skin was literally so smooth and texture-less after using it??? originally i had gotten this as a freebe in a small test bottle, i was a little grossed out at the texture of it at first (as i had never used a face mask before), but i'm so glad i used it!! 10/10 would recommend!!
beauty of joseon products ୨୧
out of all their products, i would personally recommend:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
♡ ginseng essense water
almost acts as a toner but without a lot of the harsher acids. fun fact, Hwang Jini, known as 'the most beautiful woman in the Joseon Dynasty', used ginseng root water whilst bathing! ginseng is a herb that has long been used in Korea as a natural way to supply moisture to the skin. this product helped even out my skin tone so much!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
♡ green plum refreshing cleanser
my favourite cleanser everr!! doesn't leave my skin dry after , i swear my skin looked so dewy after using it!! has an almost minty fresh feel to it! i was a little worried about using it at first, as it has a slightly acidic formula , but i'm so glad i tried it!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
♡ red bean refreshing pore mask
cleaned out the excess sebum i had on my chin! it doesn't dry fully so it didn't strip the moisture from my skin either, my face looked so much brighter after i used it !
Korean skincare  🔛 🔝 !!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
innisfree products ୨୧
now, i feel some of innisfree's products are a tad bit overrated , BUT i still love thier products none the less! their face masks are super cheap and affordable , i love the dewy rose one. their green tea range is super good too! i LOVE their lip products as well.
i haven't tried their cherry blossom range , and while it is super pretty, a lot of people have been saying that it either dried their skin out or broke them out, so maybe avoid that just in case. (if anyone has purchased it i would love to hear what you think in the comments!) remember, just because the packaging is pretty doesn't mean it's good !!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
rose water ୨୧
u can make this at home or buy it , (let me know if you want a recipe for homemade rose water!) i have one by natio and it leaves my skin super soft and hydrated! (i love natio entire rosewater collection, i would def recommend checking it out!!)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
face sunscreen by mecca cosmetica ୨୧
approved by the cancer council aus !! never gotten sun burnt when i use it, and it doesn't feel greasy at all, nor dry out my skin !

The History of Korean Girl Groups' evolution over time - Before Liberation to Girls Generation (SNSD) -> Part 2
Note there will the use of both Korean and Hanja in this post.
Korean girl groups have been a significant part of the music industry since the 1910s, captivating audiences with their mesmerizing dances and melodious songs. Despite the misconception that girl groups in the past were innocent and cute while modern ones are more focused on sexiness, historical evidence suggests otherwise. In fact, girl groups in the 60s and 70s exuded a similar level of sensuality as contemporary groups, influenced by performances of the 8th U.S. Army stage. The roots of these early girl groups trace back to the singers from Kisaeng schools in the 1930s, showcasing a rich history of diverse influences and styles.
Among the 300 girl groups that emerged between the 1910s and 90s, there were standout representatives from each era that left a lasting impact on the music scene. These unique girl groups not only entertained the public but also paved the way for future generations of performers. By exploring the ancestors of girl groups and the distinctive teams that garnered widespread love and admiration from the 1910s to the 90s, we gain a deeper understanding of the evolution of Korean girl groups and their enduring popularity throughout the decades.
Introduction - Korean Entertainment before the Japanese rule
In my previous post about History of Male Groups' i already spoke about the history of Korea under the Japanese rule (Before liberation), in this post i will explain the history of Kisaeng/ Gisaeng (기생; 妓生), also called Ginyeo (기녀; 妓女).
The concept of Kisaeng, which refers to female entertainers in traditional Korean society, may seem unrelated to the modern phenomenon of Kpop idols. However, it is essential to recognize the historical significance of Kisaeng in shaping the entertainment industry in Korea. While Kisaeng and Kpop idols may differ in many aspects, such as their roles and societal perceptions, they both play a crucial role in providing entertainment to the masses. By understanding the roots of Kisaeng and its influence on Korean culture, we can gain a deeper appreciation for the evolution of entertainment in Korea.
The comparison between Kisaeng and Kpop idols serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that underpins the Korean entertainment industry. Despite the differences in their practices and contexts, both Kisaeng and Kpop idols share a common goal of captivating audiences through their performances. By acknowledging the historical legacy of Kisaeng, we can better understand the cultural continuity that exists within the realm of Korean entertainment. This recognition allows us to appreciate the diverse influences that have shaped the industry over time, leading to the vibrant and dynamic landscape of Korean entertainment today.
What was a Kisaeng (기생)
Tumblr media
Officials belonging to Gyobangsa during the Korean Empire
Kisaeng (기생), or Ginyeo (기녀), were enslaved women trained to provide artistic entertainment and conversation to upper-class men. They were government's legal entertainers, performing various functions for the state. Despite being of low social class, they were respected as educated artists.
Kisaeng played an important role in Korean conceptions of traditional culture, with some known for outstanding attributes like skill or loyalty. They were also involved in medical care and needlework. Hwang Jini (황진이), a 16th-century Kisaeng, is a famous example.
Tumblr media
Hwang Jini (황진이; 黃眞伊) is a Korean drama broadcast-ed on KBS2 in 2006. The series was based on the tumultuous life of Hwang Jini, who lived in 16th-century Joseon and became the most famous Kisaeng in Korean history.
The Social Position of a Kisaeng
Throughout the Goryeo (고려; 高麗)(918–1392) and Joseon (조선; 朝鮮)(1392–1897) periods, Kisaeng held the status of Cheonmin (천민; 賤民), or "vulgar commoners" were the lowest in society, alongside entertainers, butchers, and slaves. Their status was hereditary, and children of a Kisaeng were also of Cheonmin status. Starting in the Goryeo period, governing offices maintained a registry of Kisaeng to ensure thorough oversight.
Tumblr media
Kisaeng could only be released from their position if a hefty price was paid to the government, typically by a wealthy patron. Many Kisaeng were skilled in poetry, with numerous Sijo (A Korean traditional poetic form that emerged during the Goryeo dynasty, flourished during the Joseon dynasty, and is still written today) composed by them, often reflecting themes of heartache and parting.
They were considered of significantly higher status than common slaves, but held a unique role in ancient Korea's society as educated artists and writers. Different groups or tiers of Kisaeng had different educations and roles, with many specializing in arts, music, poetry, and conversation skills.
The Career of a Kisaeng
The Kisaeng system in Joseon was a short-lived business that typically peaks at age 16 or 17, and over by age 22 with most Kisaeng retiring at age 50. The system was based on a three-tiered structure, with the highest tier occupied by Ilp'ae (일패; 一牌) who sang and danced at upper-class feasts. After turning 30, Kisaeng could continue working in dressmaking and medicine until age 50.
The Haengsu (행수; 行首), the district leader, took charge of discipline and training new Kisaeng. The lowest tier was Samp'ae (삼패; 三牌), who were forbidden to perform the Ilp'ae's songs and dances. The system broke down in the late 19th century, and some Kisaeng were able to amass considerable personal wealth, but they were required to cover their expenses out of their own personal funds.
Tumblr media
Becoming a Kisaeng
The Kisaeng class, a skilled worker class, was established in the Joseon period through various paths. Women were either daughters of Kisaeng or sold into the class by families struggling to support them. The government took an early interest in ensuring correct education, starting with the establishment of Gyobang (교방;敎坊) training institutes during the Goryeo period.
Tumblr media
I did try my best at translating what what below this picture of Kisaeng's. Translation - "Junpo, the custom of giving birth to a prostitute in Korea" (駿婆,生妓俗展國韓). If anyone knows if the translation is wrong, please note it down below.
During the Joseon period, instruction focused on music and dance. The three-tiered system of later Joseon included specialized training schools for Kisaeng, covering poetry, dance, music, and art. This system continued into the Japanese colonial period, during which time the schools training Kisaeng were known as Gwonbeon (권번).
This is what they would of played before the Japanese Colonial Period, i would give it a listen if anyone is interested. Sijo Chang: Chung-san-ri (시조창 청산리)
Tumblr media
WARNING i will be putting a line through any words that could be considered rude to some.
Japanese Colonial Period - 1910 to 1945
The Kisaeng, a caste system in Korea's Neo-Confucian way of living, were considered the lowest caste during the Japanese occupation. They often composed and sang their own Sijo, incorporating their emotions and themes into their work. Hwang Jin-I, a prominent Sijo poet, is credited with a famous Sijo poem, (정산리 벽계수야), which is rumored to be a humorous comeback to a Yangban official who boasted that he could pass through Jin-I’s territory without stopping or being tempted by her. Such elements were not as prevalent in the work of their male counterparts from the same era.
The economic depression during the Japanese occupation exposed the impoverished female population to the labor market. The transition from the Sino-Japanese War to colonial Korea expanded the sex market, leading to new laws such as the Kisaeng Regulation Order or Kisaeng Tansongnyŏng (기생 단속령; 妓生團束令). This led to the Kisaeng being grouped with licensed prostitutes, called Chang-Gi (창기).
During the colonial period, the preexisting tiers of Kisaeng disappeared, and they were more viewed as relevant to prostitution. Most Kisaeng performed in restaurants or entertainment houses to earn a living, and they were often seen as a tourist attraction for the Japanese in Korea, especially Seoul.
Chang Han, a magazine run largely by Kisaeng, discussed the personal lives of Kisaeng in conjunction with their professional ones. Before the Japanese occupation, Kisaeng were of lower caste and able to interact with those of a higher caste. After the occupation, Kisaeng had to actively navigate a restructured sex market in colonial Korea.
Modern Kisaeng
Kisaeng, a traditional Korean dance and theatre scene, has partially preserved its vocabulary and dances since the 1970s. During the Japanese colonial period, Kisaeng schools, which predominated, although true Gwonbeon no longer existed, an academic convention for students to study privately with former entertainers developed. However, few traditional Kisaeng houses remain in South Korea, and many dances are considered lost forever. The oldest traditional house, Ohjinam (오진암), closed in 2010.

Wanna do the a03 wrapped thing? Because you should be! Here are some BTS things with the writer I would personally love to know (doesn't have to be for 2023): 
- favorite title (for a work or chap) 
- what relationship are you excited to explore next year? 
- what do you listen to while writing 
- fav line written this year, whether it's published or not 
- biggest surprise while writing this year?
 and anything bts with the writer you want to add!
aaaa thank you so much, i’m so flattered and touched that you would send me an ask like this 😭 i always feel like ppl aren’t that interested in my writing (or are annoyed by it), so this is a very pleasant and extremely encouraging surprise!!
(more underneath the cut since to absolutely no one's surprise i got very wordy yet again whoops)
favorite title (for a work or chap) 
the candles burned out the light since this song, and this line in particular, gave me so many ideas, both writing- and giffing-wise. also the latest chapter of Half of Your Fate (“two rings, one heart”) since i like the meaning behind it: there may be two rings, one for hwi, the other for seon-ho to keep, but their hearts are one.
what relationship are you excited to explore next year? 
1. bangseon bangseon bangseon - there are so many stories i want to tell about them that i haven’t told yet
2. seonrok as i’ve been promising for so long. i’m determined to be braver about tackling their relationship and writing them!!
3. myeonggun from bloodhounds
4. the jang bros from vincenzo
what do you listen to while writing
i listen to a lot of florence and the machine and paris paloma, for seonhwi i listen to a lot of joji, the weeknd is also a favorite, otherwise cigarettes after sex, the instrumental ost for the crowned clown is great for Half of Your Fate (esp. Snow Field is so seon-ho-core that it hurts my heart), and i know i’ve recced these two seon-ho playlists before.
fav line written this year, whether it's published or not 
1. if it’s a line, my mind always goes back to this one again from time to time; it's from the goblin king:
Cold unfolds inside her like a long winter night.
it was partially inspired by this translation of a beautiful sijo poem by hwang jini (1506-1567) who was a famous kisaeng (although this translation on wikipedia may express the double entendre better):
I will break the back of this long, midwinter night, Folding it double, fold beneath my spring quilt, That I may draw out the night, should my love return.
2. otherwise it’s the last 2-3 lines here, from the as of yet unfinished sequel of and bloodless again:
(for context: they are conintuing their arrangement where seon-ho helps bang-won fall asleep)
Seon-ho holds him, rocking him like he’s a child. He strokes his hair and his back, hums in his low, soothing voice. Lullaby-soft. The way Bang-won might do with his own daughters and sons. Seon-ho doesn’t have his own children. He doesn’t have a wife, doesn’t have a brother or a sister, nor a mother. Not anymore. His father might as well not be one. He has no family to speak of, in truth. So where did he learn such tenderness? Such love? Or—perhaps he did have children, once. Two of them, things spat out on the roadside, rotting and dying. A tragedy, certainly, but nothing special. Only more casualties of Goryeo. Of Bang-won. No one else would have given them a second glance. No one except Seon-ho. He didn’t walk past or look the other way, in that cutting way he has, seeing to the core of everything. He cannot make himself look away like other people do. It’s not in his nature. Maybe his life would be easier, if it was. It’s what makes him so terrifying. He picked them up from the ground and fed them from his bosom. He held them, long ago, before father, king, and country. Before they were ripped out of his arms, the way he was stolen from his mother’s. Bang-won wonders what it would be like to hold him, instead of just being held by him. To hold his heart in his mouth like a quail egg, small and fragile, and crack it between his teeth. To crack him in two: pieces of soft eggshell and blue.
biggest surprise while writing this year?
didn’t expect to be writing for bloodhounds!! gun-woo and myeonggun really took me by storm. also didn’t expect park sung-woong and knife daddy myeong-gil to completely take over my brain haha.
aside from that, i’ve become more confident about posting fics, even if i think they might not be good enough for posting or the fandom isn’t big enough for anyone to care. i’m proud of myself for going off anon on my darkfics. i think i’ve also become better at recognizing when i’m writing for others, instead of myself. the audience i should always be writing for first and foremost is myself, and sometimes it’s easy to lose sight of that. having learned all these things, hopefully i’ll be able to grow as a writer and become better at just having pure, mindless fun in the future!!
and anything bts with the writer you want to add!
not really... i think i've talked enough about myself and my writing by now /o\ if you've made it this far to the end of this very long and rambly reply, thank you for listening and i wish you all the best!! 💙💙💙

I jump on your anime rec post randomly (defending apothecary diaries) so I feel like I have to actually rec something now lmao. you've probably seen these around tumblr bc they're popular now but-
Recently I got into Soso no Frurin or Frieren journeys end- DND type anime (setting wise- adventure parties, mages, elves etc). Its about what happens after the heroic party defeats the big bad. What happens after the main story ends? From Frierens pov whose an elf who doesnt understand others or the passage of time its her adventures with a new party looking back at her life. good story, good fight scenes, great characters.
Dungeon Meshi- again DND setting but dungeon crawler, at first very chill and stilly, real plot doesnt kick in until later. Liaos gets his sister eaten on their last dungeon crawl and so he brings his adventuring team together to go back and rescue her- but bc they are low on cash they resort to eating the dungeon monsters in their way! turns from finding his sister to unraveling the secret of the dungeon and the danger it presents.
A sign of affection- more slice of life/romance about a deaf university girl navigating life and trying to overcome how isolating being deaf can be and falling in love! If you want a more serious/angsty/emotional version of this I rec A Silent Voice- a young boy heavily bullies a deaf girl in his class, but after she leaves he in turn is bullied and realizes how wrong he was. Then he meets the girl he bullied when they are older and wants to mend the hurt he caused her/befriend her.
Yuri on Ice- personal fav!! sports anime about figure skating- Yuri is Japans #1 figure skater representing his country on the international stage. he had the chance to meet his figure skating idol, Viktor, but after completely bombing in the competition he goes back to Japan to reassess his life. BUT Viktor comes to Japan and is insisting to become Yuris coach and to not quit figure skating! I really like this one bc its about two people putting in the work to meet each other where they are at and understand each other. and it has the classic sports anime about winning in sports lmao
I will also take tv show rec in return bc I am notorious with my friends for NEVER finishing any tv shows lmao. I recommended these ones because I actually finished them recently- so they are getting me back into tv shows lmao
Sorry for the late reply. I was trying to think of some good tv recs but was struggling. If you watch kdramas The King’s Affection was my favorite drama to watch in years. Also Dong Yi (about 60 episodes 😅) and Empress Ki (like 70 eps) and Hwang Jini (only 24 eps). I loooove long dramas. More episodes the better. So Naruto fits in well for me.
I don’t watch American shows unless my friend watches it with me. I don’t like paying for subscriptions.
Thank you for the anime recs!! I liked the idea of Yuri on ice when it was coming out. But I never actually watched it. And I looove DND so you got me good with this recs!

I’m curious abt your orv au for the title tag game 👀
Sorry for the late response!
So this WIP is pretty much just vibes because I really wouldn't change anything about ORV, so the idea just lives in my head rent-free.
TW mentions of sexual abuse and discussion of sex work
What if Kim Dokja had a sister who would support him in everything he does?
Unfortunately, it doesn't change much.
Kim Jeongmin is four years older than Dokja and did her best to protect him from their father until their father began to sexually abuse her at 13, at which point she ran away, promising Dokja she'd come for him when their father was dead. But when their father died, she was 16 and a sex worker and in no position to come find Dokja, especially with all the media attention surrounding the case. She assumed that he would be better off without her now that he was with a normal family.
But a few years later, he attempted suicide and she realized he wasn't in a normal family and tried to get custody of him now that she was an adult (19). The family was happy to get Dokja off their hands as long as they could keep the royalties to the book, which she signed off on because there's nothing much she could do.
Maybe Dokja could have a happier life because he lived with someone who loved him?
Of course that wasn't the case. Although he logically understood why she left him and didn't come when she promised, he subconsciously resents her for it because emotions aren't rational, and he's certainly not going to therapy to sort that out so he keeps his emotional walls up. Jeongmin also has to do more difficult and dangerous jobs to have the money to take care of Dokja, which feeds into his guilt complex, especially since she comes home semi-regularly sporting bruises from customers. The best thing that came from it is that Dokja has someone who will listen to him ramble about TWSRW, discusses it with him, and at least attempts to read it (although Jeongmin can't get too far into it because it's so bad).
Jeongmin thinks the world of her brother and wants the best for him. She takes care of him the best she can, even though it's far from perfect. When Dokja leaves the house, she focuses on saving up money to start her own business and by the time the world ends, she owns her own brothel where she makes sure her workers are safe and tries to keep kids out of the sex trade as much as possible. She starts out the story with a group of people who are extremely loyal to her, and she decides to put all of her effort into trying to keep Dokja safe.
As I said, I'll never write it because trying to rewrite ORV sounds exhausting, but I did learn a lot about sex work in Korea and Korean history while trying to find a constellation for Jeongmin. I ended up choosing Hwang Jini, who was a kiseang in the Joseon period.
