NCT Dream when you're doing a sexy concept.

AN: think of this as a comeback stage! so bf! dreamies are watching from the backstage. Also I did crop Minnie and Winter for the photo moodboard, sorry. (secret relationship btw)

Mark Lee

Mark will be surprise that you were doing a sexy concept that he stood up from his seat so fast that the plastic chair fell. Mark's brain had a short-circuit moment because even though you were wearing a sleeveless top and slacks, the choreography was so sexy that the Dreamies watched him clear his throat a hundred times throughout your stage. When you two met backstage, he couldn't utter a word to you, still in the state of shock because of your performance.

Huang Renjun

Renjun was surprised when you two met backstage and you're wearing a short dress, he can see that you would try to pull it down so that your safety shorts wouldn't be seen. He looks at you with concern especially because it's his first time seeing you do a sexy concept. He asked you if you're okay with it and you only smile at him, assuring him that you're okay with the concept but your dress is what you're uncomfortable about. Renjun could only give you encouraging words before you leave for the recording.

Lee Jeno

Jeno watches you from the backstage with that 'dad stance' (you know, standing with his hands on his hips lol) but everyone can see the proud smile on his face as he watches your comeback stage. He knows that you're doing a sexy concept and you were excited about it! That's why your boyfriend is also excited for you. His eyes never left you and he looks so lovestruck especially during your solo parts. When you two met backstage, he gives you a hug and tells you that you look sexy back there!

Lee Donghyuck

Haechan cannot do anything but to sulk as he watch your comeback stage. You were too pretty and sexy! And the choreography was something else, that he could only scream when the part was too sensual. He wanted to gatekeep you so bad and even convinced the Dreamies to not look at you. (They told him that he's being dramatic.) So when you two met backstage, you weren't able to say hi because Haechan covered you quickly with his padded jacket.

Na Jaemin

"That's my girl!" Jaemin shouts the moment you two met backstage. You only raised at eyebrow because of how loud your boyfriend was, he will tease you nonstop because it's your first time doing a sexy concept. Even copying your moves and part, making you embarrassed with his antics. At the end, Jaemin asked if you two can film a dance challenge for your comeback because he loves the choreo so much.

Zhong Chenle

Chenle would probably do that soccer dad type of clap when your performance was finished. He would even scream when they feature you as the ending fairy, pointing you and telling everyone that your his girlfriend. That's why when you visited their room, he'll clap so loud that you'll be embarrassed. He'll hype you nonstop and telling you that you did great with your comeback stage! You were in relief because weeks earlier you started having doubt about whether you can pull the sexy concept or not, and with your boyfriend's assuring words, you had nothing to worry about.

Park Jisung

Jisung would be flustered when he discovered that your concept was sexy. The streetwear outfits were deceiving. So when he was watching your comeback stage, he looks like a lost chick with the eyes wide and open mouth, he would cover it with his hands from time to time until your performance is finished. When you two met, you asked for his thoughts, but you saw how he's so flustered with your performance! In the end, he told you that the choreography was great, like genuinely great in his opinion.

[struggle-but-its-all-ocean-floor]

That Audacity live... I'm so tired of this bullshit. Why are women props to Hybe/Jungkook now? It's just fucking ridiculous. We barely saw the actress''s face, she had no lines, she literally just walked and sat and looked pretty and cold and aloof. Was she there to tell a story? To help sell the lyrics? Because that did not happen at all. Her being there untouchable and making Jungkook put on a show for her did not make Jungkook's performance more exciting or convey love or passion. SNTY and Seven are supposed to be passionate love songs so why is the female love interest always uninterested? Do they think unrequited love is more romantic? I mean, between the half-assed interactions with a faceless women he has no chemistry with and Jungkook's inability to act, instead of a normal performance we got Jungkook looking like a kid trying to impress an older woman who doesn't know he exists. He always looks so immature and young next to his "love interests", even when they're pretty much the same age. So, instead of being able to enjoy the performances I was annoyed by the "plot".

What the fuck was even Seven? Not taking about the woman, but the camera work??? My head was spinning, what a headache. Also, the dancers humping the floor is hands down the most embarrassing and pathetic move in any BTS choreo. My dad pointed it out the other day when we watched JK's NY stage.

Jungkook looked great in the second outfit, but it was hard to care when he again sang the Jack Harlow version of 3D. I got Closer to You, which is my favorite b-side in Golden, but also had to endure more of JK being clearly head over heels for the woman. When he circled her on the table with his hand stretched out towards her back lmao? She just stood there like a statue unaware so Jungkook looked like a creep. My god, this is terrible execution. Hybe wants to sell boyfriend JK so much, but with zero commitment so Armys can put themselves in the woman's shoes and no one is too upset with seeing Jungkook with a woman. They are literally using women as props. Except So-hee, they never have a personality, facial expressions, or lines. Hybe does not pass the Bechdel test. It doesn't make Jungkook look good or immature. He literally has never looked like he was in love or in lust with anyone. If anything, he either looks like a creep or like a looser (don't like that word but don't know how else to express it). I laughed when Jungkook put down the mic on the woman's table lmao.

Side-note, the female dancers were so much better than dudes. I liked the Closer to You choreo, and the outfits were so cute!, though the end with Jungkook was a bit messy. It reminded me of Save Me choreo actually.

Anyway, I love Closer to You and the little choreo at the end, but the whole performance just left me so cold. There was no personality, heart, or warmth to it, which is hilarious since the woman being there was, arguably, to sell the romance of it all. The autotuned vocals, the unnecessary cuts and edits because of the "plot", the lack of singing (yes, I'm again complaining about this), and how empty and desolate the sets were... I didn't feel Jungkook's passion. I felt like he was just pretending to be someone else - again, selling boyfriend JK for the masses. Whenever I complain about using women as props with JK, my mom just says, unsurprised "they always put women in MVs for no reason, you know sex sells"... Like, yeah, but BTS used to be our escape from that bullshit...

ohio rtc second show notes woop woop!!

Started four minutes late

Karnak's Dream of Life was in full this time! Yay!

Ricky moved his head to the music in Uranium Suite

Mischa jazz hands at the end of the first part Uranium Suite

I adore this Uranium Suite choreo

Ricky sings at the end of Uranium Suite

Mischa sniffed the Iron Maiden t-shirt D-:>

Ocean shoved Noel after his catchphrase thing

Noel clapped + gave Ricky a thumbs-up when he clicked his heels

Ricky waved to Jane's doll

Jane played the bongos Constance had during Ocean's intro

Holy fuck Jane's taller than literally everyone

Ocean tossed the coffee in WTWN at Constance

Jane almost hugged Ocean during her "I love you guys" rant

Noel's actor skipped a line in his pre Noel's Lament monologue

Mischa and Constance laughed at the Taco Bell picture

The change into the Monique Gibeau outfit and the overall setup for Noel's Lament took a long time

Noel put Mischa's money into the top of his dress/bra

I love how the choreography is in time with the stomps at the end of Noel's Lament

Noel kicked his feet when Mischa said his song was dope

Constance laughed when Mischa said his song would only have profanity in chorus

Mischa and Ricky were lip-syncing the scripted improv scene with their sock puppets

Jane made her sock puppet her doll's head

Mischa had headphones on that were very much not plugged in during his intro

I could barely hear Ricky's lines in TSIA

Jane + Noel danced together in TSIA

A verse was improvised in TSIA because Mischa's actor forgot the whole last verse (he covered it up by saying "I got too emotional" at the end and it was really funny)

Mischa forgot some lines in the Talia monologue

The end bit of Talia wasn't as awkward but the music transition just does not work well

No videos at all during Talia, just one still image of Talia

SABM + Ricky's intro lights go hard

Mischa, as Ricky's dad, kissed Ricky's shoulder

Ricky's intro is just so beautifully choreographed I love it

Is Ricky's SABM costume meant to be Han Solo?

Jane's meows are so loud

The cat-women of Zolar are bathing themselves

Everyone but Jane and Ricky twerk during SABM

The camera went very unfocused during TBOJD but quickly fixed itself

The choir circling Jane in TBOJD is genius

Jane replicates the same pose as the rest of the choir at the end of TBOJD but without the props because they have an identity and she doesn't

Noel's birthday hat fell of during The New Birthday Song

Jane gave her cupcake to Ricky

MISCHA GRABBED THE SIDE OF NOEL'S FACE

Noel "heart eyes" Gruber

Mischa spat some alcohol at Noel then wiped it off

Jane put her head on top of a headless mannequin's neck

There was a ton of emotion in Sugar Cloud

Sugar Cloud made me cry

Everyone looks so happy + proud of Constance

Sugar Cloud lights! :-D

JANE CLAPPING HER DOLL'S HANDS I'M SOBBING

Everyone during the final vote section is doing the ending poses of their songs holy fuck

"Date with a rat named Virgil" got changed to "appointment with a rat named Virgil"

Jane coming back to life made me cry again

Blackrose hold hands throughout like all of It's Not A Game

CONSTANCE DANCES WITH JANE'S DOLL IN IT'S JUST A RIDE

The Nischa dance in It's Just A Ride was so long and so wonderful

Kurt Glee Rewatch: Acafellas

Oof this ep. Happy to skip all the Will stuff... Honestly, for teen shows, I hate when so much time is spent on the adults? Like, if I wanted that, I’d watch a drama about adults? This is a high school show? We care about the kids? They should be focus. Imagine the show with like... even half the amount of Will plot. More time on the New Directions... would be so much better. Maybe Matt would get a line lol

This outfit will always kill me. Kurt babe, no.

And tbh... Rachel has a point? Legit every ND performance, their choreo is just... not the best? Esp compared to VA. I’ll discuss more later but... they could use some help with the dancing. And once they have more members, they can try something more interesting than standing in a line or walking in circles and jumping.

Anyway...

Aww Kurtcedes!! Notice Kurt not only has hairspray, but also extra clothes in his locker. Prob bc of dumpsters/slushies. Yikes.

And poor Mercedes, all lonely. Does make me wonder about her life before. She has church choir friends and she didn’t seem super unpopular until glee club? Who did she hang with??

And the crush... Like she is sus at first, but Quinn and Santana ofc try to sway her. And I get it, Kurt is the first guy to be sweet to her and they def have fun together. And you know what, kudos for Mercedes for looking past stereotypes and giving it a chance. Bc yah, writers def put a lot of stereotypes into Kurt...

I wonder if he was just making a joke or if he actually practiced kissing his elbow lol. And notice, he’s much more comfortable being close with Mercedes, linking arms. So sweet.

Ah, the Lincoln Navigator. I do wonder how into cars Kurt was... we deserved more mechanic!Kurt (esp since we know he worked in the shop)

First mention of his dad. He’s all set up as prob being anti-gay. I wonder about Burt’s intentions. We see in 2009 how he threatened to take away Kurt’s sewing machine. They aren’t v close yet, so when it comes to laying down the law Burt is kinda flying blind. And part of this is his discomfort with Kurt being fem, but I’m sure part of it is his dad worrying. He doesn’t want his son to have a hard life.

And aw, Mercedes thinking she’s asking out Kurt while he’s just happy to have a friend to watch Liza Minelli with. Oof.

I also love how many VA performances we see and still no Jessie. He was just... away for the first semester. Or something.

So we had the ‘Gay-vention’ bc Kurt is ‘lady fabulous’ oof. 

And he wore a corset to class? And we don’t see this?? Rude.

And the iconic. Kurt is just so relaxed and happy and then Mercedes drops the bomb and Kurt is just. Shook. He just wanted a friend. He’s def not ready to come out, but he thought it was pretty clear without him having to actually say it. 

He says he made it obvious that he liked someone else? But his crush on Finn doesn’t seem v overt yet? Maybe he was more open around Mercedes? Or maybe it was just bc they needed the setup for him to say Rachel?

Either way, poor Kurt gets his windows busted, but he also witnesses the amazing performance. Def one of the best from s1

Him crying int he background, aww poor guy. He loves his car.

Ah, misfits banding together. The lesson we’ll learn every ep this season lol. 

Dakota is a jerk but omg his lines

“Artie you’re cut, you’re not trying hard enough” “At what?” “At walking”

Well, at least he knows Artie’s name??

“Stay away from aerosol cans cuz you could burst into flames at any second” omg poor Kurt. Glad he joins the walkout bc he’s not down for this bs.

Kurt says he has a tiara collection and we never see it. See, we keep getting told that Kurt dresses ‘like a girl’ but never really see it? He plays with gender, sure, but his style is always more masc leaning. Just not ‘typical’ masc so ppl find it weird. Ugh.

Also, his locker. Having guys abs... yeah, not exactly hiding lol. And the quote says “I would never ever have had the confidence to be in a school play” and excuse while I overthink.

I tried googling and don’t think it’s from anything specific? If someone knows, pls let me know. Also, just makes me even more sad he never got to properly star in... any play? We had a bit in Rocky Horror and he was great as Riff Raff but just... I’ll go into it s3 but damn it bugs me.

Anyway, shows how great Kurtcedes is bc she immediately goes to apologize, he trusts her enough to come out... like this is Glee, it could easily have been dragged out, but they settle it here in this sweet scene...

And that hesitation, the little choke on the word, this is definitely he’s said the words out loud and my heart cannot take it. I love that he gets this, he gets to come out. Everyone assumed his sexuality, but he gets this moment with Mercedes where she was ready to accept his crush on Rachel but he takes the step to open up and come out and I just love that.

And interesting how we get this and then the coming out to his dad, but not to everyone else? Maybe after Preggers he just accepts the comments? Doesn’t deny it? Bc ppl all assume he’s gay anyway.

And that also makes it so much harder bc he’s not ‘straight passing’ so even when he’s closeted everyone keeps bullying him for something he was barely able to admit to himself.

And Chris Colfer has talked about this, how after Preggers the media all just assumed he was gay too and he couldn’t really control his coming out and that breaks my heart and I could have a whole rant about media but.... not the time.

So ya, it sucks that Kurt didn’t have as much control, I’ll discuss more in Preggers tho.

Really good skating from Green/Parsons, but the colors are awful. It's a shade of red that looks like dried blood, and it's the same issue I had with Hawayek's Heart of Glass dress. And then to pair it with this awkward teal? A lot of teal this year, some more successful than others. The worst part is the ribbon on his waist, he needs a longer, less puffy shirt. This program is a non-starter, not just because it tries and fails to capture the magic of their iconic free dance from 2 years ago, but also because it's so meandering and devoid of concept and a coherent movement vocabulary (in contrast to the French, who will get to). They're making nice shapes with their bodies, but it doesn't add up to anything. I would've understood if the judges had dropped them in this program rather than the RD, since this is just a bag of random stuff pulled out the junk drawer. Her dress is contemporary, while his kinda period-inspired and doesn't fit his build, much like the Trennt sitch. I wish they'd scrap this one too.

Natalie, my sweet. While this is a great color on her, it didn't work paired with grey when VM did it, and it doesn't work now. His costume looks like an afterthought and the construction of hers is lazy and unflattering. I know they probably don't have the same resources as some other teams, so I'll let it lie, but also, the real problem here is the program. All they're doing is power skating between lifts and choreo elements. They're on two feet sooo damn much, and I dare them to take a step that isn't a crossover. It's not really ice dance, which sucks, because I really, really like them, but they're not an abstract concept team. Sorry about their dad.

Okay, the team that's really been impressing me this season, in spite of myself - the French. I loved the simplicity of her dress, which is why I don't get why they did the awkward, random dyeing on his. So many of these boys are wearing tops that look water-damaged. But I thought this program had a consistent movement vocabulary, it had a sense of dance history, and while we've seen them sharper this year, they did well here. I hate to say it, but Guillame did a great job. It's familiar music but it builds and they picked up every nuance and note, and this from a team I don't normally enjoy, so kudos. Good transitions like L/Q, great skating in hold, really seamlessly put together. Only they and H/B can pull off abstract.

LaLa - gorgeous colors, they looked like spring! Marjo was the force of the program, Zak looked a bit closed off in the chest, but I'm assuming that's from the injury and will pass. Some truly breathtaking elements and entries into them, and better levels, it seems. Skate Canada needs to get their scores where they need to be because Lolo and Nik hath no knees left. He did this to me with his shirt last year - it's big and boxy and flowy and bunches up at the waist, obscuring and cutting off his lines. Marjo, on the other hand, extremely pretty but a little too much skirt, I won't be surprised if it throws off her twizzles with how heavy it is. Such softness of movement yet such punctuation moments throughout, such effortless musicality and responsiveness to each other and the music. The one thing I will say is that it's maybe a bit too similar to the Nureyev and the Warsaw, but then again, it hasn't held other teams back, so why diversify? Get Zak a more fitted shirt and remove a layer of fabric from Marjo's skirt and they're ready for world domination. Nothing but respect for my next Olympic champions.

Okay, I really didn't want to become a C/B hater, but here we are - they've forced me over the past 3 years. What a load of pretentious schlock. We need to stop validating people just because they're hot. I'm pretty sure we've seen this concept 20 years prior. Her dress is well-made but it's what a teen whose social studies teacher once told her she should be a designer because she likes clothes would draw. Evan's outfit is straight out of Nathan Chen's closet of non-costumes. All of this is right out of the P/C guidebook on emperor's new clothes programs where they tell us we're too dumb to understand the high art that it is, when in reality they're just doing whatever to low-tempo music. All but one team here are stronger skaters than them. The whole program is just an exercise in figuring out how little actual skating they get away with. The fact that this is being celebrated and scored like this is why the sport is losing viewership, it makes the fans feel gaslit and taken for fools. And they can only do the planks and straight limb lines for a minute or so before they run out of steam, so whatever vague common visual thread there is totally falls apart. The USFSA fucked up when they let them win the nationals over the far superior H/D with that alien program because they wanted to give them a boost for the team event, but the lesson they took from it is that they could literally get away with murder, which is how we ended up here. I'm literally begging them to retire, they have me cheering for teams I usually can't stand. Prayer circle for the Italians to get a better RD.

Otherwise, Romain and Patrice serving looks like the dapper daddies they are, skaters take notes!

10s 10s 10s across the board.

how enhypen hyung line spoils you

a/n: okay so the only reason im writing this is because heejay went on tmi news and heeseung said jay is probably the richest enhypen member.. plus jay spending 6k on a hotel for heeseung and the fact that jay’s dad owns a travel agency got me thinking so 😁  yeah here’s a headcanon on how hyung line spoil you :D — also reminder that this is a work of fiction and I wrote this based on what I think would suit with their personalities !

HEESEUNG

hee will also spoil you with his undivided attention !!

it sounds simple but whenever he is with you, he is not focusing on anything but you. he feels like he doesnt spend as much time with you as he wants to, so moments with you are so precious to him and he is always listening and responding. its really relaxing </3

(open to read more <3)

i dont really think heeseung is the type to buy you lots of materialistic things but since i feel he is really attentive he’ll instead just randomly gift you things that you had said you needed around him and just ended up forgetting about.

you complaining about it being so hot lately and needing to buy a small fan to carry around? heeseung will randomly gift you a portable fan he bought you the other day, oh you know, just ‘casually’ as he says. you saying how youre so hungry and dont have time to go get food during your lunch break?  you have food delivered to your work.

 also !! heeseung is so sO unbelievably talented !!

plus he knows how much you like his singing, so how else does he spoil you? with his voice.

it sounds cheesy but ); how could you not drop everything right that second when heeseung starts singing for you 

so,, you both chilling in bed together and relaxing? he’ll start humming softly or singing quietly because he knows how much you enjoy it, especially when youre stressed out ):

You’re so lucky because he literally voice records him singing cover songs in English too and send them to you, just for your ears only

Also will show you snippets of enhypen’s new songs or choreos because he knows you’re an engene too hehe

JAY

tbh he doesnt even bat an eyelash at the prospect of buying you something expensive

i mentioned this before but if he is out shopping, travelling, etc and he sees something he thinks you would like, need or look good on you? he buys it with no second thoughts !

loves buying matching outfits with you <3

he likes to spoil you as well in terms of quality time ):

he’ll rent a small yacht for you both to enjoy a relaxing evening together, rent a restaurant out just for you both, etc just so you two can spend a relaxing time together privatley <3

WILL pull a lee young joon on you from what’s wrong with secretary kim and rent out a whole theme park just to surprise you with 😋

also uses the fact his dad is the owner of a travel agency to his advantage and often books hotel and resort stays for you both whenever he can 😋😋

i think jay would also be the type to spoil you with cheesy couple gifts during anniversaries and on dates lol

so you HAVE started to build a small collection of stuffed teddy bears on your bed..

ofc he spoils you with materialistic things !! he likes it but with jay your comfort and happiness is ALWAYS one of his top priorities with you so he also always makes sure to make some time in his schedule whenever he can, just to spend some time with you <3

JAKE

I think jake wouldnt spoil you that much, at least he wouldnt make it explicitly obvious

more the type to spoil you with surprises during anniversaries or special occasions 

will be all shy like, “y/n youre not busy for the two days after your birthday, right? just saying please leave your schedule free for then.”

you’re confused but do what he says anyways, and when he surprises you with plane tickets, you have to pretend to act surprised hehe

often pays for expenses such as café or restaurant bills for you (EVEN if you tell him you can pay it yourself 🙄)

i think he would spoil you with random gifts that he gets for you, and over time they accumulate and each little thing he gives you is a reminder of one of your many dates with him <3

that picture frame on your bedroom wall over there? oh jake surprised you with it. the necklace youre wearing? oh jake bought it for you. that blanket on your bed? oh jake didnt want you to get cold at night, so he bought it for you to make sure youre warm ):

he is also very thoughtful so he always considers your health! and he spoils you in the sense of making sure you have the necessities he thinks you need !

when you both went out on a date and he noticed you didnt have a scarf and was complaining about how cold it was he went and bought you a new one rIGHT that second. jake wont dare let his y/n catch a cold 😠😤

jake is also so so sweet ): so he ALWAYS is showering you in compliments and praise

lowkey youre spoiled by his kind words like you could be doing the bare minimum and he’ll be telling you ‘yes thats my baby! youre doing so well!!”

overall jake just wants to make sure youre healthy and happy !! he is always noticing the small things about you hehe so he ends up spoiling you in his own ways unintentionally (:

SUNGHOON

okAY so youre literally dating him but he’ll be telling you how lucky you are to even be receiving his attention in the first place 🙄

but lowkey he does spoil you too

I see sunghoon making beaded bracelets for you and gifting them to you ):

Another one of the #teddybeargivers™

Spoils you a lot on special occasions. Will buy you roses, candles, chocolate, teddy bears etc. the typical boyfriend-y gifts on days like valentine’s or your bday </3

I feel like sunghoon is very subtle about spoiling you but when he sometimes does spoil you it’ll be something low-key expensive

Like uh sunghoon ?? An apple watch for Christmas?? i don’t think I can accept this

But he’ll look at you like 😐 y/n I went out of my way to buy this for you and it was expensive u better be grateful

Idk if this makes sense but he spoils you in his hoodies 😋

He always have a bunch that he separates ready for you to steal hehe

Also you know how I mentioned the gifts on special occasions? Well he will also write these long, detailed cards and give them to you and since sunghoon isn’t the best at conveying his emotions when he puts down all of his feelings down on a piece of paper,, you always feel so spoiled and flustered in his love ):

<3

Finally! The long awaited Dancer!au in which they aren't demons bc I really didn't wanna think that hard. I have some worldbuilding and misc hcs if you want those too!

Lucifer - traditional slow ballroom dancing, would also do more "modern" ballroom if you could convince him  HERE  HERE

Mammon - high energy/acro hip hop, literally so good at isolations for no reason HERE   HERE HERE

Levi - cutesy k/jpop choreo exclusively, girlbosses it up occasionally HERE  HERE (also the Chika dance but all the videos of it keep getting taken down bc of copyright)

Satan - would be the ballerino poster boy if he did traditional ballet, does so many leaps n spins you'd think he'd be concussed with how much his brain must be moving in his skull HERE  HERE

Asmo - anything that let's him be sensual, loves Latin styles bc they give him a reason to be horny and wear minimal clothes HERE  HERE  HERE

Beel - all acro, can do so many tricks it's not even funny, Belphie told him contemporary acros are easier and thats all he's done since HERE HERE

Belphie - creepy contemporary vvv flexible terrifies judges, finds some new way to fold himself every time HERE  HERE  HERE

Dia - doesn't like to dance but he's really good at ballet bc of his dad

Barb - does everything, prefers tap/Irish dances, has branched out into figure skating, but never competed, it's more of a hobby HERE

Simeon - older styles/dances inspired by them, got into the 20s at one point never let go, has done an "evolution of dance" thing before, adores doing productions but no one ever wants to join 🥲 HERE  HERE

Solomon - can't dance to save his life I'm sorry he looks like a white person at a wedding

-🐝

aaaaa! Dancer au!! 💛💛 yes these are all so good. Ngl I watched all these clips instead of working.

I really love your attention to detail in separating out the differences and nuances between the dance styles of the brothers - there are plenty of similarities and yet they're all different enough for it to be unique. Luci with his traditional yet flashy styles, often requiring a partner. I wonder which of the brothers cons into practicing with him the most? Probably Mammon

From this I hc that Levi gets asked to choreograph for several idol groups and every time he freaks out. But he knows his stuff!!

Ballet helps Satan keep up with his beloved cats. It's not weird to see him spinning around and lifting his cats around the House.

And yesss Latin Asmo. I was in a Latin band for the summer, and we played with several dance groups and let me tell you I loved the outfits so much. I was so jealous of the dancers. And how they moved? To our music?? Honestly a top experience 10/10

Beel is our muscle-y boy and yet despite how big he looks he's super agile and I love that for him. Your pick for Belphie surprised me somewhat, considering he's the one with the most recognizable dance style in the game, but it makes sense!! This boy can sleep in any position, anywhere, and he's definitely flexible enough to pull off some of the freakier stuff. Flash forward to MC opening random boxes in the HoL only to find Belphie impossibly curled up asleep inside them.

(asjdflaadklajsd poor Solomon. I 100% agree but also I'm sure he'd be good at group dances maybe?)

目が合う 目が合う

だけで息が詰まる

ほど美しい my muse

my muse is so beautiful

that i can't breath

just by meeting her eyes

+.*

haruto widens his eyes when you stand not so close beside him. your presence could make haruto cloud nine. your laugh could make haruto smile like a fool and your lips, if the world free from any rules, he would like to put his lips onto yours.

as you felt someone watching you, you turn around only to see some male's back, walking away from you. haruto fastens his pace to go to the dance practice room with hands full of snacks, he doesn't want you to think of him like a creeper, staring at someone without any particular reason.

"oi, what takes you so long?" mashiho asked the younger

haruto smile, he gives the oldest snacks that he bought from yg's convenience store. he gave all of the members snacks and water that he bought with his own money as punishment for losing rock paper scissors.

they all minded their own business, felt too tired of having chat with each other, they have gotten no rest since morning, practicing for their upcoming debut. all they could think now is their comfortable bed. but as much as they want to rest, they need to get this choreo neat and perfect to amaze the audience.

but haruto, his mind could think of you. you with silky hair and always wear your favorite white converse whenever you came to the company. it's unbelievable how you made him go crazy about you since he never felt falling in love with anyone. but when you step in the dance practice room and greeted them with a big smile on your face, that's the time where haruto felt you are so cute and making his heart fluttered

knowing your personality, haruto felt you are his type, he is completely head over heels for you, and he hates how he can't speak even a single word towards you when he realized his feelings. he felt so stupid.

"you guys!!" you entered the dance practice room with your infamous smile. behind you, lee youngsang, your father followed you into the dance practice room and put his belonging on the couch.

"i give you all 5 more minutes and shows me your result" said lee yongsang, or treasure's dance teacher or your dad more specifically.

as the leaders of the group, jihoon, and hyunsuk yelled out a 'yes teacher!' as a response, but once again haruto felt the cloud nine in his body, seeing the person he likes talking to doyoung, you always laugh whenever doyoung make the dad jokes, although haruto and the others find it not funny and lame, you being the easily laugh person, always laugh at doyoung's joke and it successfully made haruto smile like an idiot.

"who are you smiling at?" haruto flinched, truly shocked by asahi sudden appearance.

"no one, i remember when jeongwoo fell the other day, it's still funny till now" he answered coolly asahi can't know his big secret although he closes with asahi.

asahi nodded and left haruto alone, haruto sigh, relieved as the oldest trust his little lie.

"ruto ya" you called him

"yes,y/n?"

"i watched t-map yesterday, and i heard you like collecting butterfly necklaces"

"um yeah, that butterfly necklace is cool you know" haruto's heart flutter when you said you watched t-map, it means you knew how loud he is, a bit embarrassing but felt happy when you knew what he likes through t-map.

"you know– your style is cool and your fashion sense too, what about you wear something cute?"

"um yeah, that butterfly necklace is cool you know" haruto's flutter when you said you watched t-map, it means you knew how loud he is, a bit embarrassing but felt happy when you knew what he likes through t-map.

"why don't you try to wear something cute?" you asked

haruto scrunched his face. wear something cute? like what? like doyoung's all-red outfit? or junkyu's koala pajama?

"wear this. i made it myself, i made for you cause i remember you said you like collecting butterfly necklace" you handed it him a white pink bead necklace with a butterfly locket

haruto smile widely and couldn't help but chuckled at your cuteness. oh, how he wishes he could hug you right now

"thank you y/n, i'm gonna wear this," he said and wear the necklace on the spot, seeing you laugh happily made him happy. love turns someone crazy.

"okay guys that's enough of a break" the teacher yelled, making all of the 12 treasure members turn to their positions. haruto smile as he saw you mouthing 'fighting' to him.

+.*

haruto stares at the bead necklace with love in his eyes, he smiles when he thought you made this while thinking about him who loves collecting a butterfly necklace. he felt appreciated for the moment.

suddenly the door open, showing junkyu with his koala pajamas, entered the room with a towel on his shoulder and wet hair.

"i felt like i could sleep till next week" the older groaned, throwing himself to his bed, ready to sleep.

haruto didn't reply, he also felt tired from all day practicing, he turns his body facing the wall, ready to sleep but junkyu's question made him awake.

"do you like y/n, ruto ya?"

"what are you talking about hyung?"

"we all know"

haruto gulped

we?

who we?

treasure members?

if yes, he is doomed.

"no, how can i—"

"you guys could make a cute couple"

"go to sleep hyung, we got to get up early tomorrow" haruto said, not want to continue this topic.

junkyu let him off, he also wants to sleep right now.

+.*

today is the day, where they need to record their debut song, but in the japanese version. when haruto turns to record his part, you enter the studio with your favorite potato snack.

you smiled at haruto who's now in the recording room, haruto returns your smile and starts practicing his rap before record it as he wants everything to go perfectly.

you still smiling at haruto, secretly adoring how cool he is while working, noticing jihoon looking at you with a smirk on his face, you quickly change your focus to the snack you bought

you don't want anyone to know your crush on haruto because they're gonna debut soon, and rookies can't date. you felt butterflies whenever haruto talks to you or smile at you, although you're the one who always starts the conversation, yet haruto never failed to make your day better

you noticed how haruto always awkward whenever you guys having a conversation and it made him cuter! thinking he must be awkward with a person besides his members

"ready, haruto?" the producer asked through the mic

haruto gives thumbs up, showing he ready to show off his skill to you although you know how good he in rap through ygtb.

he starts rapping in his native language, making you surprised, amazed at how his voice got so much deeper than rapping in korean.

"y/n cover your mouth, i'm afraid if fly flew into your mouth" jihoon joked, making all of the members laugh at you, you frowned at him but of course jihoon, being jihoon,  he keeps teasing you more and more.

"it's cute how you flirt with haruto with the bead necklace"

"i wasn't flirting!" you backup yourself

the members gave a sly smile at the youngest, obviously didn't trust all the words that come out from your mouth.

"yeah, but your dad said you took the class for the necklace, and you hate beads since they're so small and hard to do anything with it" said jihoon

you sighed as you can't think of another reply, because all of jihoon said is true.

"am i being obvious?" you finally being your true self towards the olders

hyunsuk nodded

"we can already tell you like haruto— the way you talk, see, and smile to him is different whenever you with us beside you only do bead necklace for him only," hyunsuk said, faking his tear at the fact you didn't give them your handmade bead necklace.

"haruto must know about this too, right?"

"nah he doesn't" junkyu replied

"why are you so sure?" you asked

"i was his roommate and i can tell he clearly in love with you, he slept with your necklace yesterday and we all notice how he smiling like an idiot whenever you around"

you couldn't help but smile at junkyu's statement

"you know y/n,his part in 'boy' he wrote himself. and guess who is the lyrics dedicated to?" yoshi asked

"who?"

"to you of course," mashiho replied

"seriously?" you turn your head, facing haruto who now rapping to his part.

"what does that mean?" she asked

"it means, my muse is so beautiful that i can't breathe just by meeting her eyes" asahi spoke, grinning at the youngest

the members start teasing you, making you turn all red. you cover your red ears when haruto gets out of the recording room. haruto frowned when he saw you covered your ears, did his rap didn't impress you?

jihoon and hyunsuk who sit in front of you could only smirk when they saw how fluttered you are.

+.*

as usual, you only sit on the couch looking at the twelve boys practicing so hard for their debut, your dad keeps correcting their choreo and makes sure they all dancing in synchronize or they need to repeat all over again.

you felt pity for them, but they need to practice for a good result. you keep your eyes on haruto, ah, how charming is he? the way he laughs whenever the others making a joke.

"okay, take 5," said the coach, making them all lay on the floor, catching their breath. you smiled as you take fruit juice from your bag pocket to give to haruto but your dad snatches it away from you and innocently drinks the juice.

"how thoughtful my daughter is? brought juice for her dad" said your dad, continue drinking the juice. you scrunched your face, you want to yell at your father but you decided to not make a scene, instead of doing what you have in your mind- which is throwing a punch on your dad's arm, you push him and leave the dance practice room with a frowned face.

jihoon and hyunsuk laughing, knowing their coach purposely doing that to tease his daughter. meanwhile haruto just finds you sulking is cute(not fully knowing what happen), he just wants to squish that tiny girl.

hours later, you come back to the practice room after wandering around the company. you surprised that they still practice although it's 8 pm. they should head home, right?

as you want to ask your dad when will they go home, a groan, making everyone froze and look at haruto who already lie down, holding his ankle. you quickly go to him and check his ankle

"i think he sprained his ankle," you said and help haruto to stand–with the help of the other of course. haruto winced as the sprained feet touch the floor, without saying anything you took off haruto's shoes and socks, taking ice packs from junghwan who go to the store when hyunsuk ordered him to buy ice packs

"wait, i get the first aid," you said and left making all of the members, including your dad to look at haruto

"what?" haruto asked

"i know you like my daughter kid, just confess i'm tired of answering her about you every day," he said

haruto widen his eyes

"w-what?"

"just confess ruto, i'm 100% sure y/n accept you," hyunsuk said

"if you still not sure, please take a look how fast y/n go to you when you sprained your ankle and the fact she only made beads necklace only for you" jihoon added

hearing their words making haruto smile shyly, she likes him back...?

seeing haruto smiling like an idiot, they all left the practice room as you arrived with first aid in your hands. you ignored the sly smile on others face, haruto's ankle is now more important

you kneel in front of him carefully bandaging his ankle

"you need to rest, no practice, walking making a late recovery," you said

haruto smile

"thank you y/n, i appreciate it" he said

you nod as you can't think any of response, you worried about haruto's injury, their debut only a month away

"i like you" his sudden words making you froze, slowly you look up, facing haruto

"what did you—"

"i like you" he cut you off

you pin the bandage and stand, making haruto look up at you. your smile making haruto's nervousness faded away.

"that is so sudden? i thought you could make it more romantic?"

haruto froze, feeling regret confessing to you without anything special. he needs to give a good impression as a boyfriend! - you could do better haruto! he thought. he apologizes to you in which you reply with your beautiful giggle.

"i'm just playing with you" you said and take a seat beside haruto, taking a brave move, you rest your head on his broad shoulder.

"but really, i'm sorry for confessing unromantically"

"ruto, the rap in your debut album is amazing, and that's the most romantic thing someone ever done to me. thank you" you said while smiling, thinking about his rap.

haruto scoffs, he knows so well yoshi said this to you because yoshi is the one who knew the rap is meant for someone he loves.  however, he also wants to hug the older as he 'helps' his feelings towards you.

"let's go home, you need plenty of rest" you said, helping the boy to stand up

"can you come to my dorm? i need someone to take care of me, i can't walk it will cause a late recovery someone said" haruto said in a teasing way making you slap his arm, laughing at his words

"i will make sure dad send me there tomorrow"

Mon 15 March ‘21

FIRST TIME GRAMMY AWARD WINNING ARTIST HARRY STYLES!! From the bottom of the stairs to the top of the fucking world baby, get itttt!! He won Best Pop Solo Performance for smash hit Watermelon Sugar-- the other two categories he was up for went to others but he was a dark horse for any of them so getting one is awesome! Yeah the grammys are shit but I’m so happy for him to see him receiving validation and acclaim from the industry that has never appreciated what he (and his bandmates) are and can do as artists, it’s a fucking start you know? We can enjoy the moment! Harry did! His acceptance speech was short and it feels like he was blindsided and forgot everything (including not to swear on TV and as pro as he is you know that means he was absolutely reeling, I love that) but later he said “I want to thank my fans for giving me an environment to be free to make the music that I want to make and supporting me along the way the last ten years”, yes that’s right we have helped you find a place to feel good, and “this is an incredibly sweet icing on the cake of what I get to do everyday so thank you.”

But that’s not all! He also performed, and wore things! Say what you want about Harry (or better yet please DON’T at least to me but that’s a losing battle) we always get so hyped up about even just seeing his outfits and he does not let us down! BLACK LEATHER, TITS FULLY OUT, DICK BANANA CHARM, AND A MUPPET BOA? Yeah he did that! Shirtless under a patent leather suit, I mean: wow. Very glam rock, very… well listen it’s just very GAY in like so many different ways??? Harry Lambert said they wanted “something darker, sexier, and more unexpected” which is definitely about that look I’m assuming and not the pastel thrift store rummage bin hodgepodge he wore later, unless Harry(s) and I have very different ways of interpreting “darker”. (Harry L also said “free the nipple” and we can all see that he MEANT it.) Harry red carpet-ed and accepted his award in a lavender muppet boa, tits slightly less out but still cleavagey, and with a seemingly random collection of other garments YES BABY OKAY you just WEAR THAT THEN! About that Harry L said, “we wanted to do something that felt British and eccentric, a little bit rock ‘n’ roll and a little bit camp,” but the people have spoken and they said ‘we think he looked like Cher from Clueless’ so, sorry Harry(s)! Esquire struggling to describe the look-- “the kind of thing that Styles seems to make wearable” klasjdlk the doubtful ‘seems’ is sending me. Either way we can definitely all agree on the camp part, and that the matching face mask (as seen in the audience shots and in adorbs pics of him camping it up with Lizzo backstage) is amazing, love that (even if he does spend way too much time nervously pulling it on and off omg just LEAVE IT) and it even went also with outfit number THREE (or at least it did as well as any of his anything went together lol) which was a big floppy orange coat and plaid pants and a THIRD BOA, a dignified (haha JK NOPE it’s still a muppet) black number this time.

It seems the performance was filmed in advance rather than done live-- there were clues suggesting this might be the case, but the real giveaway was when a picture from it leaked before the broadcast, lol. Way to make it so we “can’t even tell if it’s live or not” Ben, and why is he STILL so obsessed with trying to gaslight us anyway my god just say what’s prerecorded it’s fiiiine. ANYWAY Harry played Watermelon Sugar and only WS; well after all it is his GRAMMY AWARD WINNING SONG. Plus it was a really nice version, all smooth and funky, with a highlight of the night being Harry’s full on 60s girl group choreo move with the backup singers, omg. Those backing vocalists were the duo G.A.W.D., and there was extra accompaniment by fellow nominee Devonte Hynes aka Blood Orange (who also directed the performance and no I do not know what that means) and “Spencer and Josh” on horns (the closest I can find to someone crediting them so, apologies guys). Anyway! All of them (regular HS band included) were decked out in matching gucci black leather too and looking good. And Harry looked so happy to be up there performing, just beaming like a lighthouse, so overall- good good stuff, I just keep on dancin!

The real bombshell of the performance though was subtle and needed confirmation after for the excitement to really hit-- it was Sarah drumming  decked out in tight black leather and visibly pregnant!! That’s right, band drummer Sarah Jones is PREGNANT by (Grammy Award winning) guitarist Mitch, there’s a HARRY STYLES BAND BABY on the way!!!! WHAT A NIGHT! It wasn’t enough for Harry to find love in his own band, he’s somehow cupid-ing that energy all over the place and spreading it around, AMAZING!

And Liam comes through with not just a sweet congratulations for Harry (“what a huge moment, proud to be your brother” awwww) but also the final word on the performance look- goddammit it IS one of the rejected Best Song Ever video looks, LMAOOOO. But did he tag HSHQ instead of Harry directly in acknowledgment of how the awards system really works and that they are all to be congratulated or simply because it was easier? We will never know.

Additional tidbits-- bassist Hynes was apparently playing creative director Molly Hawkins’ dad’s bass- did we know her dad was a famous bassist who played with Fleetwood Mac and many other 70s stars?! If I did I had definitely forgotten! And more Molly news-- she’s also pregnant!! Harry will soon be surrounded by quarantine babies, dreams really coming true huh? Harry posted a pic of himself with Mitch and Devonte looking very cooool, we saw the ceramic watermelons label execs were sent for the WS release last year, and Rebecca Ferguson who knows 1D from way back when (and has recently drawn attention for talking frankly about how fucked up the industry is and about having seen unnamed boy band members literally slammed against the wall by their management) congratulated Harry and posted a couple of baby pop star Harry pics, cuuuute. Louis’ merch handlers, in response to no complaints whatsoever, sent out emails apologizing. They say they’ve run out of lanyards which were meant to be sent out so they will “be adding a freebie which we know you’ll enjoy” to affected customers’ orders. That is sucky about the lanyards but that’s customer care! Niall posted about his cool bright limited edition merch to remind that it will be gone gone gone tonight and also shared a pretty and touching picture from a the large anti violence rally held in London to protest the killing of Sarah Everard today. And finally some good advice from Bebe Rexha, loved by larries; she says she loves us right back but please don’t kill anyone for not streaming her new song! Yes good plan.

The Search For Spock (live reaction)

Harve Bennet & Leonard Nimoy, you KNOW this is the gayest one!

“It seems I have left the noblest part of myself back there” 😭

Oh wow this happens like RIGHT after WoK, okay. Yikes Klingons!! Ohhhh it’s a WARG! Cool!!

Oh my god it’s Sulu’s ship!!! The Excelsior!!! We love that!

So are you just expecting me to be okay after Bones broke into Spock’s room? And is literally begging Jim for help and talking about Mount Seleya??? I’m supposed to be OKAY?? 😭😭😭

Oh look Saavik plucked their eyebrows in true Vulcan style lol. I think they sense it’s Spock (or at least a Vulcan) through the k’war’ma’khon and that’s why they said “or who”

Sarek is pissed! He does care even if he’s not a great dad. KATRA! Time to get fucking saaaaaaaaaaad!!! Don’t you EVER tell me Shatner can’t act ever again after this scene holy craaaaaaaaap. 😭😭😭 Jim I cannot believe you left Bones alone go get him (and SPOCK more or less) and save the dayyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!

“As surely as if it were my very own” IM FINE! Oh my god McCoy/De’s Nimoy impression is on par! Also loving the weird Han Solo McCoy vibes of him trying to get Spock’s Katra to Vulcan, the Spones is STRONG with this one.

Shut up I LOVE SULU SO MUCH!!!!! Amazing outfit! Amazing one-liner! Amazing jailbreak!!!!! Also awwww Bones and Jimmmmmm! Uhura’s sass is beautiful! Get in the closet punk! I love you!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍 I LOVE HERRRRR YOU GUYS!!!!!

I love that as they’ve gotten older, Bones has gotten even more southern, and Scotty has gotten even more Scottish lmao. Thing Jim is willing to give up for Spock #1: his captaincy/career

BABEY SPOCK HOLY FUCK, me too helmsman lady. Also Saavik isn’t it worth mentioning you’re in a FUCKING BLIZZARD?? And Spock could die of exposure?!

Woah, Bones sounded JUST LIKE SPOCK (I know it was literally voice over) but still, I’m shook too Kirk! Meeee tooo! Also damn Saavik you just roasted the living shit out of David and I do NOT blame you! 😂

Yo like, POOR SAAVIK! That whole situation with Spock is rough for everyone involved actually holy shit. Saavik has to do something messed up, and Genesis Spock has like, no idea what’s going on. I know they had to like, do it, or he’d literally die, but still 😬 I also figure that the Pon Farr was triggered early because of the rapid/warped aging process considering the vast majority of vulcans don’t hit adulthood/Pon Farr until there 30s (like Spock was in Amok Time)

OH MY GOD DAVID’S DEATH WAS SO MUCH WORSE THAN I THOUGHT JIM OH MY GODDDD 😭. Also it’s fucked up to say he sacrificed his son for Spock (Sarek is such a fucking asshole to talk about the way he does, jeezus) I mean it is kind of what happened but Jim couldn’t have known, he just couldn’t have. God that is so SO fucked up.

Things Jim is gives up to save Spock #2.5: The Enterprise, oh wow... there she goes. 😥

Thank god Vulcans are strong oh my god, I can’t imagine how panicked Jim must feel hearing Spock fucking scream like that oh my god oh my godddddd. Oh, Jim found David... this movie is so SAD holy crap. But also “it’s seems I’ve got all his marbles” is hilarious and on brand thing for Bones to say.

This fight choreo is very... James Kirk. But honestly I wouldn’t have it any other way! 🤣

SAVE YOUR HUSBAND!!!!!

Literally one of the most romantic, dramatic fucking scene EVER! If Spock was a woman they would’ve been RAVING about how this and WoK are the greatest love story of all time. But they didn’t but I CAN! I LOVE IT AND THEM AND ITS GAY AND I LOVE IT! 😍🏳️‍🌈

“Goodbye David.” 💔

Bones, this movie is wrecking me and youre making it worse ohhhhh my godddd 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

This is the Sponesiest McSpirkiest movie ever MADE “I choose the danger” Bones you are killing meeeeeeee, that desperate “please I love you both” sideeye from Jim ohhhh pleassssssse 😭

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈😁😁🤩

09. That’s How Hope Died

My apologies friends and familiars, but I absolutely don’t think that I can continue to do this story as standalone pieces anymore and to add on to the possibly not great news, there’s more chapters of story to be told here. But, those who can stay, I’m glad to have you here.  2721 Words, Trigger Warnings: Mental health issues, abuse, child death, grief

Previous

The key to having a successful “challenge” video or a hot “remix” was to have a plan proactively. Grace would have about a dozen different new choreos in mind at any given time, and she worked on beats a lot when she probably should be doing other things. She had various number outfits in mind. She had remix beats in mind and the clips of videos that she might want to add to such remixes. This was her happy getaway. The hours that she put into all of her dance training, her classical music instruments, and her academics made her feel like she earned a few to just create things that she enjoyed. And she had an outpouring of creativity from 14-16. 

Whenever a new hot song would come out, she would hear it and wonder how it might sound if she remixed it with the R747 (she named all of her creations with “stock numbers” until they became associated with a released song). She might think to herself, the choreography C929 will be perfect for this! Even her performance outfits, “And if I wear the W23… well… This is gonna be fire!” 

So, she might hear, for example, a new song by Ghairrisahn ft Fr8-Tre/in (for the old folks, that’s pronounced Garrison, ft Freight Train… See, Garrison is how it’s pronounced, but she spells it that way to stand out and well, Fr8-Tre/in’s name is Treyvon, they called him Tre growing up and you know, Freight TRE and add the “N,” sound like a play on words?) Her parents absolutely wouldn’t have listened to her explain. The hired help often had to, though, especially if they happened to be around while she was creating or putting together creations for presentation…

She would hear the song, decide and type into her phone’s notes: Shucky Ducky by Ghairrisahn ft Fr8-Tre/in. R747. C929. W23. As soon as she got home, she would check to see if any challenges or remixes of the song were released yet, because the Internet was fast and she was at school all day and sometimes, rehearsals well into the night. If it wasn’t already a thing, or if it was a thing, but the thing was null, she would make the remix of the song with her remix beat, then play it as she wore the outfit she prepped and performed the choreography she created. Then, she would post it, atting the artist, and hashtagging the song, TheApex, ApexChoreo, ApexBeauty,ShesBeautyShesGrace,Gracecore, (song title)remix and challenge, among others.

All of those would always skyrocket. Her favorite artists would always eventually see them, sometimes soon. Ghairrisahn even said that she wanted her to be in one of her videos. (Her mother was attentive to that bit of information when she shared it). 

When she called Simon to tell him, he already knew. Of course he did. That dude was always on his computer. He always had hella tabs open. He was working on maybe 4 assignments for school, at least 2 of his stories, keeping up with his favorite fandoms, and checking social media - which he hardly ever got on to talk to people that he knew in real life, but he still was entertained by many of them and usually kept watch of all of her pages, whether or not it dawned on her. 

When they were 15, she was invited on a summer tour with Ghairrisahn, to dance. It was a dream come true for her, even though her parents were very reluctant to agree to this. Filming a music video was one thing, but gallivanting across the country all summer was another thing entirely. “Mom, this would be just like if I had gotten the ballet spot in Germany!”

“No it isn’t. THAT was a world renown dance troupe and you BLEW it. THIS is some girl who sounds like she’s singing underwater, never wears a full sized blouse and almost unquestionably engages in recreational smoking.” Simon was typing on his phone. He didn’t get involved. 

“She is a Grammy award winning icon! Everybody knows her. You know who knows that dance troupe? Ballet heads. That’s who. Mom, to be successful, in this day in age isn’t just about money and high standing. It is about fame and visibility! AND, if I’m on tour, I have that many places to use my products and promote the brand and bring in revenue to the company!”

Mrs. Monroe sighed, “Alright. That sounds like a good idea. But, I’m sending you with your team. You’re not to be in the same vehicle as that marijuana girl. You’re to only interact with her and her team for business purposes and you will adhere to the schedule that your team provides.”

She clenched her fists and jumped up and down, excitedly. Simon’s eyes looked up from his phone to watch her, but he didn’t react in any other ways until she rushed over and hugged him, “We’re going on the road with Ghairrisahn!” She squealed.

He sighed and wiped a hand down his face, “Grace, I can’t go on the road with you this summer. You know I have like 6 different major things that I need to do this year.” Her face fell. “I wish I could. I love Ghairrisahn. She’s my top five celebrities whose hair I wanna smell…” Grace and her mother both made disgusted and confused faces that he ignored and kept talking, “But I literally have a major engineering program, a science camp to prepare for this upcoming school year, the journalism workshop, orientation for the early college courses path, the Dean’s meet and greet, and I’m heading some things for the scouts that I signed on to before I realized that I’d have to do some of the other things. I can’t go right now. Junior year is the most important year of my high school career. Not to mention, you know that I’m being emancipated next year. I just… I don’t have time to tag along this time, Grace.” 

She nodded her head, sadly. “Well, that’s cool. But, I mean, I’ll be able to fly you out to a show or two, right?”

He shrugged, “Send me the tour schedule when you get it, and I’ll let you know.”

“What’s your mom gonna do while you’re doing all of that?” She asked. He frowned and stared at her. She was concerned. He knew that she didn’t mean any harm. But, asking about his mother while her mother was still around was pretty inconsiderate, even for her. She must’ve realized from her face that it wasn’t something he wanted to discuss. Because she fell back and clasped her hands together, “Well, since we’re both still around, let’s go do something in town together. You do have a little free time right now, right?”

“Yeah,” he said defeatedly.

“Yeah,” she imitated and reached out for him with her hand to pull him up off of his favorite cushioned lounging chair. “Mom, we’re going!” Grace called. Her mother had stopped paying attention to them several minutes ago, pretty much whenever the conversation no longer concerned her. She didn’t even hear Grace excuse herself.

.

“It’s hot! Why do you ALWAYS have on a hoodie?” Grace asked.

“I don’t have one at school.”

“Because they aren’t allowed.”

“Exactly. We’re not at school. Nobody can tell me what I can and can’t wear,” he said. 

They were quiet for a moment. She didn’t know what was wrong with him, but she knew that something was. “Hey, do you wanna record ourselves doing skateboard tricks?” She asked.

“Is that your way of asking me to record you doing some skateboard tricks, Grace?”

“You can do yours too!” She laughed.

“I just wanna walk right now,” he said. She bit her lip and danced alongside of him, singing Shucky Ducky. Simon looked over at her and the smile of his features returned. She was good for that. Making him feel better about things that really just didn’t feel good. After a while, some thought, letting it rush around in his head, he said, “She’s going to go live with my grandmother.” Grace stopped dancing and stared at him with wide eyes. “She refuses to go to a hospital. I can’t get dad to come home right now and I just… don’t have the time to care for her. I was gonna be gone in a few months, anyway. Leave it to her, I never did anything to even help her over these years. The story that my grandmother believes is actually quite different from the events that my mind has collected.” Grace rubbed his back, but didn’t say anything. Simon had tears welling up in his eyes. “Do you know how many times she’s taken a swing at me, and I’ve had to restrain her to keep her from connecting? How many times she’s yelled at me, berated me for innocent missteps and mistakes that children simply make? All of the times that I wanted to just put that pillow over her face and not let go until she stopped moving?” He was shaking. “Now, apparently she has bruises all over her that I supposedly put there and my grandmother just believes that I’m capable of it, because I killed my sister, why not try my mom too?” He roared at the sky and covered his face with both hands.

Grace looked around for some place to sit, and just decided on the grass under a tree. She led him over, sat him down and rested on her knees, looking at him, but not knowing what to say. He didn’t really talk much about his sister. What she knew about it was what she had looked up on news sources on the Internet (only to understand more, not to be sneaky or harm him in any way), and she never brought up what she learned, because she knew it would be very painful for him. 

According to every source that she had found, the little girl’s death was an accident. She and her brother had been playing, they got into an argument, she ran off, he gave chase, she climbed up a ladder to try to hide in the attic, he pulled her leg and she fell and hit her head. It was an accident. A freak accident. She shouldn’t have been able to die from the fall. There were a few reports that the boy had possibly “thrown her hard” to the floor, but even knowing how angry Simon could get and not actually putting it past him to accidentally get that angry, she rationalized that even still, at 10, he wouldn’t have had the strength to cause reasonable damage to a 4 year old. She wanted to tell him that right now, but he didn’t know that she knew that much about it and it seemed like it might only upset him more to find out that she looked into it.

He was red in the face, hot, breathing hard, and crying, and he didn’t want her near him or looking at him at the moment. But, there she was. Where else would she be?

“Simon, I’m so sorry that your mom… is the way that she is. But, on the bright side, she’s not gonna be your problem anymore. She’ll be your grandmother’s and I mean… that’s her daughter. Who knows what she might have done to contribute to the person that she became…” 

He looked up suddenly and stared at her in horror, “Do you think I’ll be like that? Do you think… I mean… I get so angry and I get violent, and I lash out… Do you think I’m like her? Am I gonna treat my family that way? My kid?”

Grace leaned forward to place her hands on Simon’s shoulders and said, “I think that you’re the best person I’m ever going to meet, that is of course until you have kids, because then they’ll be the best people, because you’re not going to make the same mistakes your parents did. I think for what you’ve been given, your anger and violence and lashing out is totally justified. And it isn’t like you just go around beating up the defenseless. I mean, yes, sometimes… we’re a little quick on the draw and maybe hurt somebody that probably didn’t deserve it that much, but there are actual school shooters and like… pedos and stuff out there. A kid who beats on people who deserve it every now and then, destroys some stupid property or whatever is like nothing compared to like… those types.”

“So… I’m not a good person, just not the worst,” he said.

“You’re the best person I KNOW.”

“You know like 3 people.”

“I know plenty of people!”

“Outside of your immediate family and me, name ONE.”

She stammered and he laughed a little. She was grateful for that, even if she was flustered. “The red… um… shirt… Cameron!”

“Cameron… The… guy who works at the Target right outside of the gated community?”

“Yes! See… I know people.” Now, he laughed heartily and threw his head back. 

She knew kids at school who gave her presents’ names. She would always thank them and say something nice to them about their presents, whether or not they liked them. It was a trend to give her things and IF someone noticed her using or having the thing later, they had bragging rights, though no matter what anybody gave her, she preferred anything that Simon gave her over all of them. They never understood why, but she did. She knew that their presents came from wanting her to love them. His presents came from already loving her.

“Hey… do you want to go visit her?” She asked.

“Visit who?” he wondered.

“Hope,” she said. He looked startled. He knew that he never told her his sister’s name, but now that he was calm, she was testing the waters to see how he felt about her having at least some portion of knowledge.

He whispered, “I never go there.” 

“I won’t try to force you,” she said.

After a moment, he said, “I want to…” 

His hands were shaky until Grace took them in hers and smiled up at him, “Then let’s do it. We’ll stop by a shop and get her a nice bouquet.” She let go of one of his hands and pulled the other to follow her. He still didn’t want to say more about his sister, but some part of him wished that the visit would change something inside of him. He didn’t want to think about the word “Hope,” to describe his desires. It felt wrong.

He cried a lot. Grace smoothed her hand across his back and remained quiet. After a long while, and he was seemingly out of tears, she said, “Maybe I should skip the tour. I’ll probably have opportunities like this in the future. I’m pretty hot right now.”

“You always are.” He wanted to tell her not to do that. That she deserved to go on the tour and that she should have fun, but just like when she wanted to tell him that he didn’t have to write about his family to get into the academy, he didn’t have the nerve to openly oppose what was best for him. 

What was best for him was that the one person that he could cry in front of was there for all of the summer nights that he was already certain that he would cry from stress alone. But it was up to her, just like it had been up to him to decide that he wanted to be at school with her, even if he was going to have to hurt a little to get there.

The difference was she ultimately decided that it was best that she went. He didn’t like it, but they had been apart before in the past and even if she had been in town, he was going to be constantly busy anyway. Still… he emotionally logged it as a time that she was not there for him when he needed her to be. Was it fair? Maybe not. But… it was simply how he felt about it.

Title: A Day in the Life

KIM SEOKJIN

7:30 AM

“Okay, girls, please.” You said, exasperation lacing your tone, as you held out your daughter’s bags to them, where they were giggling and messing around with each other beside the door. “Backpacks on.” 

Your older daughter, Hyo, sighed heavily, dragging her younger sister with her to put on the bags held in your outstretched hands. 

“Jagi. I can’t find the keys to the studio....” Jin walked into the room, adjusting his jacket as he looked around the room for the missing keys. 

“They’re right here.” You held out the keys to him, as you adjusted the ponytail on top of Mishil’s head with your other hand. 

“Ah. What would I do without you?” Jin grinned, snatching the key ring from your hand and pressing a kiss to your upturned cheek, before he turned to the two girls, standing and ready beside the front door. “Ready, princesses?” 

“Ready daddy!” Mishil, the younger, chirped out, holding out her hand for her father to take as they prepared to exit the apartment. 

“Jin, please make sure Hyo remembers their lunch money! And girls, I’ll be there to pick you up after school, so wait out front, okay?” You called out after the trio, as Jin waved a hand in acknowledgment, disappearing down the steps and out of sight, his daughters clinging to each of his hands. 

Sighing, you slung your bag over your shoulder and after one last check of the apartment, locked the door behind you before heading to work. 

1:00 PM

Sitting down at a table outside under the shade, you pulled the sandwich you had bought from the cafeteria out and began to unwrap it, as your phone began to ring. 

Pulling it out of your scrubs pocket, you slid the notification bar and Jin’s face appeared on the screen, a large grin on his plush lips as you came into view. “Hey, jagi! Late lunch break today?” 

You sighed wearily, taking a bite of your sandwich, watching as Jin set the phone down beside him on the practice room floor and started to stretch in preparation for dance practice. “Yeah, difficult patients.” You took another bite, and then asked around the food, “Were the girls okay at drop off this morning?” 

“Yeah, they were good.” JIn replied, swatting at JK, who had suddenly appeared to fill up the window of the phone screen as he waved at you. 

“Hi, Kook.” You laughed, waving back at him, as your husband managed to shove him out of the way with a harried sigh. 

“Anyway.” He pushed dark bangs off of his forehead. ‘Mishil’s teacher said to remind you about parent conferences next week.” 

You opened your mouth to respond, glad she had reminded Jin, because you would’ve forgotten otherwise, when one of the other nurses, the only close friend you had at the hospital, plopped down across from you at the table, not looking up from her sandwich as she asked in amusement, “Is that Jin?” 

You nodded and she called out from across the table, ‘Hey, handsome.” 

“Hi, Jillian.” Jin responded, loud enough for her to hear, shooting you a grin. 

“Will you be home for dinner?” You asked, resuming the munching of your sandwich. 

“Should be. It’s a light day today.” Jin said, interrupted in his thought by someone calling his name. “Hey, I have to go. We’re getting started.” He winked at you. “See you tonight, yeah? Love you!” 

7:00 PM

“Hyo! Please, stop bothering your younger sister and come set the table.” You called out, finishing the pot of Kimchi stew that was heating on the stove. 

Your older daughter appeared, grumbling slightly under her breath, but with a sharp stare from you, she set the table with little to no comment. 

“Mommy, when will daddy be back?” Mishil entered the kitchen, favorite doll clutched in her arms. 

As if her question had signaled him, Jin walked through the door in that moment, causing screeches from his daughters as they ran to throw themselves in his arms. He laughed, swinging them around. “My girls! How was school?” 

You glanced up from your stirring to say sternly, “You can ask about their day when they’ve washed up. Get going you two.” 

The girls released their father reluctantly and left the room to wash. Jin crossed the kitchen to you, his arms going around your waist, pressing a kiss to the crook of your neck as he said softly, a smile on his lips, “Hey, beautiful.” 

“Hello, handsome.” You turned in his arms to press a quick kiss to his lips, but sighed when you heard something shatter and the girls start to fight in the bathroom. “Is it bedtime yet?” You groaned, rubbing your temples. 

Jin laughed and after another quick kiss said, “I’ll go check on them.” He turned to disappear down the hall, but not before pointing at you teasingly and saying playfully, “We’ll continue this conversation later.” 

“I’m sure we will.” You smirked, turning back to finish dinner. 

MIN YOONGI

6:00 AM

“Holly, slow down!” You called to the small miniature poodle, dragging at the end of his leash, probably having caught sight of the cat that lived across the street again.  

Glancing down at your chest, you pulled back the corner of the blanket, making sure the baby bundled inside of the carrier was still asleep, hoping you hadn’t woken her up with your yell at the dog. Luckily, she was still out, eyes scrunched closed, dark hair fluffy against her forehead, tiny finger in her mouth, lips making sucking motions. 

Letting out a sigh, you breathed in the cool morning air and continued your brisk morning walk, Holly now trailing happily in front of you on the leash, no longer dragging you along. 

Yoongi was always up and gone around 5 AM every morning, in a hurry to get to the studio for the day to work on his own things before the others came in and needed his attention. Jag-Eun was much like her father, in that she woke up faithfully, every day, soon after he left, to eat and then was much too wide awake to even think about going back to sleep. 

So this had become your routine. Yoongi would kiss you goodbye, you would lay in bed until you heard your daughter stir, and then you would get up, feed her, get you both ready, and take Holly out for a long walk. You liked the crisp, quiet feel of the morning air, the fact that Seoul was always bustling, but at this time in the morning, it grew silent and almost deserted. 

The baby stirred slightly against your chest, and then quieted once again, and one of your hands came up to rub gently across her head of dark, thick hair, a trait she had definitely inherited from her father. 

Holly pulled you down another path, leading to the park,and you happily obliged, enjoying the quiet morning, alone, in the chilly Seoul air. 

11:00 AM

Walking into BigHIt you were greeted by several receptionists and staff, some of them stopping to coo over Jag-Eun, bright eyed and awake, looking at the world through wide eyes from where she laid in her stroller. 

“Hey, Hobi!” You waved to the other rapper, who sat in his studio, door open, as you passed on the way to Yoongi’s Genius Lab. 

He offered you a bright smile and an enthusiastic wave as you passed, calling out, “Hey, when dad is done with that munchkin, I want to see her!” 

Punching in the keycode on the door of the studio, you pushed through into the dimly lit room beyond, maneuvering the stroller through the narrow door as you called out, “Hey, Yoongs. Sorry we’re late.” 

“I was worried about you.” Yoongi stood up from his computer when you entered, dropping the headphones off his ears as he crossed the room and put an arm around your waist, pressing his lips against your cheek in a kiss as he asked, “Everything okay?” 

“Yeah!” You exclaimed, sorry you had made him worried. You leaned down to unbuckle the baby from her seat, handing her to her father as you began to pull the lunch boxes you had packed out from underneath the stroller. “Your daughter just decided to ruin her outfit with a well timed puke right before we left the apartment.” 

“That’s my girl.” Yoongi said teasingly, as you shot him a playful glare, cooing at the baby in his arms. He rubbed a finger under her chin, and she gave him a gummy smile, babbling back at him as she watched him with large, dark eyes. 

Setting out the lunches on the table beside the futon, Yoongi sat beside you, your daughter in his arms, as you began to dish up the food. You glanced over at him from the corner of your eye, watching as he pulled faces at the baby and rubbed his palm across her small head, feeling her soft baby hair beneath his fingers. Smiling, you turned back to the food and asked, “Have you gotten a lot done?” 

Yoongi sighed, taking the offered plate of food from you, lying Jag-Eun down on his lap, stretched out across his thighs, the finger of his free hand still clenched tightly in her chubby fist. “Not as much as I would like. The new choreo has kept us pretty busy.” He glanced at you regretfully. “I’ll probably be home late.” 

“It’s all right.” You leaned over, giving the baby one of your fingers, as you kissed the side of his mouth softly, offering him an understanding smile. “We’ll be just fine until you get back.” 

10:30 PM

The door opened, and Yoongi walked into the apartment, black backpack slung over one shoulder, beanie pulled low on his forehead, tiredness evident in the lines around his eyes and mouth. 

“Hi.” You said softly, looking up from feeding the baby, who had just begun to fall asleep against your chest, tiny mouth still moving, but less productive than before. 

“Hey.” Yoongi slung his backpack onto the floor and came to sit beside you on the couch, throwing his arm along the back as he leaned forward, moving the blanket slightly aside to see his daughter’s face. “She needed a late night snack, eh?” 

“Can you blame her? I’d kill for some ice cream right now.” You laughed softly, reaching up with your free hand to brush some stray dark bangs back from his forehead, his skin still chill from the outside. 

“I’d kill for some scotch right now.” Yoongi replied back dryly, leaning his head back against the couch, closing his eyes. 

“Well.” You unlatched the baby from your breast, wrapping her more securely in her blanket, before handing her to Yoongi, fast asleep. You winked at him. “If you put her to bed, I’ll run to the corner store and get both those things.” 

“Shit, I love you.” Yoongi said, as you laughed, before he pressed a lingering kiss to your lips. 

JUNG HOSEOK

7:00 AM

“Hobi, can you find Korain’s stuffy for show and tell please?” You called out loudly down the hallway, struggling with Kyong, as he tried to slip from your hands before you had finished slicking down his hair. 

“Which one?” You heard your husband call back from the boys’ room. He appeared in the doorway, holding out two stuffed animals for you to see. “The lizard or the bear?” 

“Neither, it’s the....” You paused in talking to him, to say in exasperation to your son, still fighting your efforts to make him look presentable, “Kyong. Seriously. Hold still! Do you want to make it look like mommy doesn’t care?” Sighing, you glanced back to Hobi, still standing in the doorway, waiting for your instruction. “He wants to take the alligator.” 

Hobi ducked out of sight, and Korain ran in from the kitchen, just as you finished his brother’s hair, yelling loudly, “I finished my cereal!” 

“Good.” You grabbed him, sliding his arms into his jacket, as you motioned to the other twin’s shoes, lying beside the door. “Kyong, put on your shoes. Korain.” You finished putting his jacket on, patting his bum in the direction of the door. “Put on your shoes too, please. I don’t want to be late.” 

“Okay, one alligator.” Hobi reappeared, handing the stuffed animal to his son as he ran a hand through his thick hair, looking at you as he asked, “We ready then?” 

“I think so.” You grabbed the keys and your briefcase, turning to the twins, who stood beside the door, mostly looking presentable. And then you noticed their socks, peeking out from beneath tied sneakers. “Hobi. Did you let them wear mismatched socks?” You asked, shooting him a slight glare as he pulled open the door. 

“Yeah, it’s more fun.” Your husband shrugged, before following his sons out the door. 

Rolling your eyes, you shut the door and followed them out. 

2:00 PM

Finished with another client, you shut the door to your private office and pulled your lunch from the fridge, sitting down behind your desk with a tired sight. 

You broke out the leftovers, shoveling them into your mouth with chopsticks, and your eyes fell on the pictures that covered the surface of your desk-pictures of the boys and Hobi and you all together. 

Some days, those pictures were the only thing that kept you from running out of here screaming. 

You heard your phone chime and you pulled it out from your drawer, where it had been charging. Smile lighting up your face at the name on the notification, you swiped it open and quickly read over the text from your husband. 

Hobi: Hey gorgeous. Hope work is going well. I’ll pick the boys up from daycare today. I’ll be home early. We’ll see you there. I love you. <3

Still smiling, you slid your phone back into the drawer, put your food away, and prepared for your next client. 

8:00 PM

“Hey guys.” You called out, walking through the door into the apartment, the smell of food hitting your nose instantly and making your stomach grumble loudly. 

“Mommy! Mama!” The twins barelled out of the their room and down the hallway, wrapping arms around your legs and almost making you trip as you laughed and caught yourself against the edge of the counter. 

“Hi, babies. How was school?” You crouched down, kissing each of their heads, as they chattered over one another to tell you about their day. 

“I painted a picture of us!” Kyong said proudly, pointing to the picture, now hanging on the fridge. 

“Wow.” You glanced over at the picture, as Hobi entered the room, carrying a dish of something to the table. 

He offered you a wink, but didn’t interrupt the boys as Korain said, “I showed my alligator. But some people thought it was a crocodile. How dumb can you get?” 

“Oh.” You held back a laugh, and Hobi shot you an amused glance as you said, “That’s not very nice to say, son, but, you know, you could take this opportunity to teach the people that don’t know about alligators. Wouldn’t that be cool?” 

The boy thought for a moment and then nodded, as Hobi said loudly, “Okay, you two. Come sit down. Time to eat.” 

With whoops and hollers, the twins moved to the table, and you stood, as Hobi came over to you, arms going around your waist, lips placing a kiss on the top of your head, as he whispered, “But I mean. Really. How dumb can you get?” 

You laughed, hiding your mouth behind your hand, as you glanced up at him, kissing him quickly, as you muttered back, “Did you teach him that?” 

“I swear, I did not.” Your husband held up his hands, palm out, in an innocent gesture, a slight smile pulling at his lips. “However, who doesn’t know the difference between an alligator and a crocodile?” 

You laughed again, slapping his chest playfully, and then headed to the table to eat. 

KIM NAMJOON

8:00 AM

“And jagi, you promise you’ll text me after the doctor’s appointment?” Your husband asked once again, for the third time that morning, slinging his bag over his shoulder as he regarded you with worry. 

“Joon.” You laughed, slightly exasperated, but not able to be mad at him. Crossing the room, you wrapped your arms around his waist, looking up at him in amusement as you said, “I promise I will call you when we’re done. Okay?” 

“Okay.” He sighed, leaning down to kiss your forehead, before he pulled on his baseball cap, reaching for the doorknob behind him. 

“Daddy go to work?” Moon-soo appeared, blocks held in both chubby fists, still dressed in his favorite train covered pajamas. 

“Yeah, son, daddy has to go to work.” Joon crouched down, beckoning for the little boy to come to him, and when he obliged, he wrapped him in his arms, burying his nose in his son’s dark hair for a moment before he said, “You take good care of mommy and baby sissy while I’m gone, okay? And then I’ll be back to play with you tonight before bed.” 

Moon-soo nodded, and when released, ran back to the other room, resuming the train track he had been bulding with blocks across the room. 

“Okay.” Joon said again, straightening up. “I have to go.” 

“I’ll call you.” You said, leaning up to kiss him quickly. 

“I know.” He said, before bending down, putting his lips against your swollen belly, leaving a kiss there as he said quietly, “Be good today, baby girl.” 

12:30 PM

“All right, are we ready to see this baby, Mr. Moon-soo?” Your doctor asked, smiling at the toddler, who was perched in one of the chairs beside the exam table, favorite toys spread out around him. 

“Yes!” He yelled, clapping his hands excitedly. 

“Okay. Look right here then.” The doctor put the wand on your bare belly and moved it around briefly, before a clear picture of your baby girl appeared on the screen, and a loud, steady heartbeat filled the room. “Ah. There she is. See? There’s her nose, and her mouth...” 

Moon-Soo approached the table and looked at what the doctor was showing him, his eyes wide with wonder as he looked at his baby sister on the screen. 

“See, Moon? She looks like you and daddy already.” You said, a smile on your face, as the baby kicked in your stomach reflexively against the press of the ultrasound wand. 

“All looks perfect.” The doctor told you, printing off the ultrasound images and handing them to your eager son. “Now, lets find young Mr. Moon-soo a sucker.” 

Phone to your ear, you buckled Moon-Soo, happily sucking on his candy, into his carseat, as Joon’s voice sounded after a few rings on the other end of the phone. 

“Jagi. You’re done?” 

“Yeah.” You snapped the last buckle into place and shut the door, sliding into the driver’s side as you started the car. “The doctor said everything looks perfect. Baby girl is right on track. And we got some cool pictures to show you, didn’t we Moon?” 

You asked over your shoulder, and the little boy nodded, taking the sucker out of his mouth as he yelled out for his father to hear through the phone, “Daddy! Mommy says the baby looks like me and you!” 

Laughing, you pulled out of the parking lot, putting the phone back to your ear. “Everything was good, Joon.”

“Good.” He sighed on the other end of the phone. “I’m glad to hear it. I’ll see you guys tonight. I can’t wait to see the pictures.” 

7:30 PM

“Moon, please eat your noodles and don’t play with them.” You said sternly, pointing to the boy held captive in his high chair, smashing his noodles onto the tray happily. 

Glancing over your shoulder as the door opened, You smiled at Joon, who dropped his bag on the floor and crossed the room to kiss his son on the head. “Welcome home.” 

“Thanks, jagi.” Joon snuck his hands around your waist, palms resting on the hill of your stomach, the baby kicking heavily in response to his touch on your skin. 

“She’s happy you’re home too.” You looked at him over your shoulder, shooting him a grin, and he kissed the crook of your neck, his hands still on your stomach, feeling the baby kick against his palms. 

“Me too,” He sighed, and then offered you tired smile, Turning to Moon-Soo, he said, “Now. Let’s see the pictures of baby sister, yeah?” 

PARK JIMIN

6:30 AM

The day started out like every other day since you had found out you were pregnant five months ago. 

Bent over the toilet, first thing in the morning, puking your guts out. 

“Hey baby, you okay?” You heard Jimin’s soft voice above the sound of your own sickness, and then felt his hand on the small of your back, rubbing soothingly. 

Straightening up, feeling like you were done, you flushed the toilet and wiped your mouth, pushing sweaty hair out of your eyes as you met his concerned gaze. “It’s the same thing, every morning. You think I’d be used to it by now.” You complained, pushing yourself up from the floor and moving to the sink to wash your hands. 

“Yeah, well, this baby’s giving us a run for our money already.” Jimin remarked, amusement in his tone, as he rubbed a hand across your back, pressing a kiss to your cheek as he passed you. 

“I was never this sick with Yun Hee.” You said, pulling on your robe over your pajamas and following Jimin out of the bathroom. 

“I know. Sorry, baby.” He said, remorsefully, as you both entered the kitchen, to see your almost two year old daughter already in her high chair, happily eating a bowl of yogurt. 

“You fed Yun Hee? Thanks, Chim.” You said, sitting down beside the baby at the table, reaching out to wipe a clump of yogurt from the corner of her mouth as she grinned toothily at you. 

“I’m just sorry I can’t do more.” Jimin said, putting his dishes in the sink, as he reached for his bag, already having put on his sneakers and coat. “And I’m sorry I have to be at work so much when you don’t feel well.” 

You waved a hand at him and offered him a smile. “Please. I knew what this was when I signed up. We’ll be fine.” You motioned to Yun Hee and then to yourself and then to your growing belly. “Us Park girls are tough.” 

“I know.” He smiled, full lips soft, and then with one more kiss, he was gone. 

2:00 PM

“Yun Hee, you can’t play with that.” You scolded, taking the bottle of cleaner that your daughter had picked up from the cart away. “Here, have this.” You handed her a sucker you had found in your purse. 

Pushing the cart down the grocery store aisles, you gathered up the rest of what you needed and headed to the checkout line, thankful that the sucker seemed to be keeping your rambunctious toddler busy for the moment. 

“Hello.” The cashier said, offering you a smile, as she began to ring up your purchases. 

“Hi.” You replied back politely, tired after wrestling with Yun Hee all shopping trip, and damn, your back was killing you. 

“How old?” The older woman asked, motioning to your daughter witha  smile. 

“Oh.” You paused in setting up the groceries, not really wanting to make small talk, but not wanting to be rude. “She’s eighteen months.” You ran a hand over your daughter’s unruly pigtails, trying to smooth her bangs back from her face. 

“And another on the way? My, you’ll be busy.” The woman commented, motioning to the slight swell of your belly that could be seen beneath your buttoned coat. 

“Yeah, another girl.” You laughed slightly, ready to be back home. Yun Hee’s sucker was almost gone and you didn’t want her to have a tantrum in the store. 

“How does your husband feel about that?” The woman asked, clearly not trying to be malicious, making conversation, as she ran your card. 

“He’s thrilled. His girls are his world.” You said, taking the offered receipt, and bidding her goodbye before she could ask anything else. 

You loaded the groceries and managed to get Yun Hee into the car before she finished her sucker. 

7:00 PM

“And then, the little cow went home to his mommy.” You said, turning the final page in the book, Yun Hee contently sucking on her fingers from her seat in your lap. 

“Hey, baby, hey princess.” You heard the door open and Jimin’s voice filled the room. 

“Dada!” Yun Hee vaulted up from her spot on the floor and toddled quickly to her father, who picked her up and spun her around, making her giggle wildly from her spot in his arms. 

“My little lotus blossom!” Jimin exclaimed, making you smile, as he nuzzled his nose into the side of her neck. “How are you? I missed you!” 

Pushing yourself up from the floor, you began to set the table for dinner, as Jimin released the squirming Yun Hee from his grasp. Crossing the room, he rested his chin on your shoulder and put his arms around your waist. “Mmm. It’s good to be home.” 

“Chim, you smell.” You complained through laughter, trying to wriggle away from him, his clothes damp against your back, making you wrinkle your nose. 

“Yeah, I need a shower.” He said, grip tightening on you, lips going to your ear. “Wanna join me after Yun Hee’s in bed?” 

You laughed again, swatting him away from your so you could finish setting the table. “All right. But no funny business.” You warned him, pointing a finger at him. 

He held up his hands in innocence and offered you a smirk. “I would never.” 

KIM TAEHYUNG

7:45 AM

Your daughter slid open the back door of the car, grabbing her backpack from the seat beside her, as she called out over her shoulder, already halfway out, “Thanks, mom! See you tonight!” 

Rolling down your window you called out after her retreating form, “Ara! Remember that your dad is coming for parent career day, okay?” 

Waving to let you know she had heard you, she disappeared into the elementary school. 

Sighing, you pulled out of the drop off line and headed toward the freeway, hoping that you wouldn’t be late to work because of the unpredictable traffic that usually prevailed in Seoul. 

Dialing your husband’s number, you waited, the rings loud over the speaker of the car, until you heard his voice on the other end. “Jagi. What’s up?” 

“Kim Taehyung.” You said, without explanation, craning your head to see if you could merge. 

“Kim (F/N).” Tae said back, slight amusement in his tone, voice low against the sounds of the bustling studio behind him. 

“You remember what today is right?” You asked, finally getting onto the street you wanted. 

“Of course I remember what today is.” Tae scoffed on the other end of the phone, before saying jokingly, “It’s your turn to bathe Yeontan, right?” 

“Shut up.” You wished you could see him, so you could stick your tongue out at him. “Now tell me you really know what today is.” 

“Yes, jagi, I know what today is.” He laughed. “I’ll be at Ara’s school at 11 AM sharp. And I won’t embarrass her. Or you.” 

“Good.” You laughed too, and then bid him farewell as you pulled into your office. 

1:00 PM

Your phone buzzed against the surface of your desk, and you set down the bowl of soup you had been blowing on, reaching for the cellphone, and picking up, putting it to your ear as you asked, smile on your lips, “Hey, babe. So how’d it go?” 

“I was a hit, obviously.” You could hear the car start in the background behind Tae’s voice. “I mean, I blew all those other parents out of the water.” 

“I have no doubt.” You grinned to yourself, shuffling through some paperwork. 

“I mean, international superstar? And your dad’s a janitor? I mean, nothing wrong with that, of course, but I was the coolest.” Your husband’s voice was full of pride, as you laughed at his response. “Anyway. How’s the office?” 

“Oh, you know. Angry people who think I should take their cases for free, trying to prove murders, the usual.” You said, only halfway joking. “I mean, I can’t believe Ara wanted you, a rockstar, to talk to her class over me, her mom, a famous criminal lawyer.” 

“Keep at it, jagi. You’ll get to my level someday.” 

8:30 PM

“And then, dad showed us some of the fancy footwork they do on stage and Maryanne and Ki thought it was AWESOME.” Your daughter gushed, as she sat at the table doing her homework. 

‘Well, your dad is pretty cool.” You offered, pulling your apron over your head so that you wouldn’t dirty your clothes while cooking. 

“The coolest.” Your daughter sighed, turning back to her workbook. 

“Hey all.” Tae walked through the door of the apartment, crossing to place a kiss on top of your daughter’s head before he ruffled her hair and asked, “How was the rest of school, squirt?” 

“No one could stop talking about you and how cool you were, dad!” Your daughter said excitedly, once again distracted from her homework. 

Tae chuckled, coming into the kitchen to give you a kiss in greeting before he leaned on the counter beside you, one brow raised, as he said smugly, “See? Told you I was cool.” 

“That’s a matter of perspective.” You said, swatting him with your spatula, as you moved past him to grab a bowl from the cupboard. 

He grabbed you on your way back to the stove, arms snaking around your waist and pulling you against him, as he asked softly in your ear, playfully, “Are you jealous, Mrs. Kim?” 

“Please.” You scoffed, trying to wiggle from his hold. “Do you know how many criminals I put away just today?” 

“Oh, it’s so hot when you talk like that.” He groaned, halfway teasing, finally releasing you as you hit him with the spatula again. 

“I’m serious.” You said, pointing at him sternly with the kitchen gadget before you resumed stirring. 

“So am I.” He murmured into your ear on passing, his hand trailing across your waist as he left. “I’ll show you just how serious later tonight.” 

JEON JUNGKOOK

5:30 AM

“Okay, jagi.” Your husband’s voice was low in the darkness of the bedroom, and you sat up at his words, holding out your arms expectantly. “He’s been changed and he’s ready to eat.” 

“Thanks, Kook.” You yawned, the small bundle of your young son held against your chest. “You headed out now?” 

“Yeah.” He sat down on the edge of the bed, the matress dipping beneath his weight, as he slipped on his sneakers. “I’m gonna hit the gym before I Head to the studio.” 

“Okay, be safe.” You said, slightly distracted, as you tried to get your son to latch and eat at your breast in the dim morning light barely starting to peek through the curtains. 

“Always am.” Your husband slipped on his jacket and then leaned over the bed, pressing a kiss against your temple, before he reached out a hand and smoothed down the now contentedly eating baby’s hair. “I love you guys.” 

“We love you too.” You smiled at him sleepily, Daeseok sucking loudly now, and with one last goodbye kiss to your lips, Jungkook left the bedroom. 

11:30 AM

“(F/N) Hey!” You glanced up from adjusting Daeseok in his stroller, to see some of the boys coming toward you down the hallway, Namjoon having called out to you. 

“Hi, boys.” You said, returning their smiles, as you straightened and greeted them with hugs. 

“What’re you guys doing here?” Joon asked, as Hobi and Jimin leaned over the stroller, smiling and talking and offering their fingers to the wide eyed baby inside, dark hair and dark eyes so much like his father’s. 

“Kook forgot his lunch, so we’re just dropping him off something to eat.” You said, grinning at the two boys still fascinated with their younger brother’s baby. “Where is he anyway?” 

“He’s in the practice room still.” Hobi straightened, motioning over his shoulder. 

“Thanks.” You said your goodbyes and headed to the practice room. Upon entering, you saw your husband sitting in the corner, pulling on his sneakers, forehead glistening with sweat. 

“Hey you.” You said, offering him a grin, as he jumped up to meet you. 

“Jagi. Thanks so much.” He said, slightly out of breath still, as he took the offered lunch from you. “How’s the boy?” He set the bag down and looked into the stroller, widening his eyes and mouth and making a comical face at his son as he waited for your answer. 

“He had to get a shot at the doctor. And he was not happy.” You said, wincing as you remembered the young baby’s sad cries. 

“He seems fine now.” Jungkook said, finger held tightly in his son’s small fist. 

“Yeah, well, you’re lucky you weren’t there. You would have cried too.” You teased, winking at him as he stuck his tongue out at you and sat down to eat his lunch. 

6:45 PM

“That’s such a good boy.” You cooed out, smiling down at the baby in the bath, surrounded by barely an inch of warm water, as you scooped another palmful of the warm liquid onto his bare skin. “Daeseok is such a brave boy.” 

“Jagi?” You heard the door open in the front room and Jungkook’s voice call out down the hall. 

“In the bathroom!” You called out as loud as you dared, not wanting to startle the baby held carefully in your hands. 

You poured another warm palmful of water over your son, hearing footsteps sound behind you, and then Kook’s large hands were on your shoulders, his chin resting on top of your head, as he said, looking down at your son, “He’s getting better with his baths, huh?” 

“Yeah, he doesn’t cry nearly as much.” You said, eyes still on the baby, as you gently massaged some shampoo into the mess of dark hair on the top of his head. 

You felt him shift slightly behind you, and then point to the bandaid that was stuck firmly to his son’s upper thigh as he asked, “That where he had his shot?” 

“Mmm hmm.” You nodded, just barely, reaching to drain the water from the tub. “Can you get him a towel?” 

“Yeah.” He released your shoulders, and went to dig through the hall closet, calling out to you as he did so, “Also, I got him a present. For being so brave.” 

“I knew you were worried, even if you didn’t show it.” You said, laughter in your voice, as he reemerged with a towel and you wrapped the damp baby snugly inside. “You’re a complete softie, Jeon Jungkook.” 

You straightened, laughing as he scoffed and looked offended, and took his son from your arms.

Triple Threat And The Fantabulous Redemption of One Carrie Wilson - Ch 3

Carrie went through the rest of her day with a smile on her face and a sparkle in her eyes, excitedly texting her dad that she was going to Julie’s after school and would be home by dinner. “Remember, Kayla! Dirty Candy’s got a rehearsal tomorrow! Don’t be late!” She called to her friend across the hall before quickly catching up with Flynn and Julie, wrapping her arms around their shoulders with a grin. “Are we ready, ladies?“

“Oh! Hey, girl. Yeah, we’re ready.“ Flynn smiled and wrapped her arm around Carrie’s waist.

“Sweet. We have so much to talk about and catch up on!“ She said as she started the walk to Julie’s with them. “Like how you came across the cool hologram boy band.“ She said and gave Julie a small smile, curious to hear how on Earth that happened.

“What? Nah, you don’t want the boring details of that.“ Julie deflected quickly. “And they’re not a boy band. They’re rock stars and they all get very offended if you call them a boy band.“

“Ooh, so-rry.“ Carrie laughed as she stepped in time with Julie and Flynn, turning her head toward her. “What about you, Flynn? Hey, you still a little Brat or have you seen the hot pink light?“ She asked, remembering one of the big arguments they used to have when they were younger.

“Once a Brat, always a Brat, Barbie Girl.“ Flynn grinned and flipped her hair. “Clearly you’re still the same pink princess you always were.“

“Always.“ Carrie confirmed with a nod. “Latest movies have been so bizarre, though. You know they used the plot of Princess And The Pauper and made the pauper a pop star for one? They remixed To Be a Princess.“ She huffed and gave an irritated eye roll.

“Wait, what?“ Julie almost shrieked and gave Carrie a shocked look, remembering that Princess  Anneliese   was her favorite Barbie character and doll and Princess And The Pauper was her favorite movie when they were little.

“Yeah, and not even well! It was so bad! And the next day, I really thought it was some crazy messed up fever dream, but no! Dad was there when I watched it and he was confused, too! They really have gotten so lazy, they’re just re-using old plots that were perfect and ruining them with weird, random changes! Like, if you’re going to remake a Barbie movie and remix and rewrite one of the best songs from it, you could at least do it correctly!“ Carrie ranted and sighed dramatically, making both girls laugh a little at her antics.

“Yikes. Barbie Girl betrayed by her childhood idol. Hurts, doesn’t it?” Flynn asked and gave her a look, referring to the time when Flynn’s favorite dolls were no longer on shelves and making Carrie wince slightly.

“But I heard Bratz came back, didn’t it?” Carrie asked her, getting a nod. “Any news about your favorite doll, Chic?“ She asked Julie, easily falling back into the habit of calling the girls by their nicknames.

Julie pouted and shook her head, slumping her shoulders. “Absolutely nothing. It’s like they just want everyone to forget they ever made them.“

“That’s evil.” Carrie rolled her eyes again, shaking her head in dismay.

“It’s awful, Carrie!” Julie huffed.

“And it’s not like I can do anything about it, either! I’m just me!” Carrie pouted sympathetically and gave her shoulder a squeeze.

“Maybe my dad can. I can ask him to make some calls. Yell at some idiots who clearly don’t understand the mistake they’re making here.“ She offered. “I mean, you don’t just upset Carrie Wilson’s friend and get away unscathed. You get away with a hole in your wallet.“ She smirked.

Julie grinned at Carrie, squeezing her back tightly. “You’re the best, Barbie girl!“ She said happily, making Flynn smile at them. “I missed having a friend as powerful as you.“ She said and Carrie shrugged, strutting in front of them.

“Well, you know. With great power comes great responsibility and all that. I’m just using my power to make my friends happy, because that’s one of my many responsibilities.“ She said simply and the girls just laughed and let Carrie lead.

Carrie smiled and kept walking in a comfortable silence with them, making a mental list of every question she had and everything she wanted to tell them. She really did have so many questions and so many exciting things to tell them about. She perked up as they arrived at Julie’s and walked inside, greeting her dad with a grin.

“Hey, dad. We’re home.” Julie said, waving at her dad looking at pictures on his laptop.

“Hey, Mr. Molina! Long time, no see!“ She said as Julie went to raid the fridge and cabinets to get some snacks and drinks.

“Carrie! Haven’t seen your face around in a while!“ Ray grinned giving Flynn a side hug. “Hi, Flynn. You girls have a good day at school?” He asked and they all nodded, Julie glancing with a smile at seemingly nothing for a second before handing Flynn a bag of cool ranch doritos and a can of 7-Up.

“Oh, you know. School was school. The usual. Hey, Barbie Girl. Cherry cola still your favorite?“ She asked and Carrie nodded, taking the can handed to her.

“Thanks.“

“Good thing Carlos loves cherry cola too. Dad, please don’t tell him I stole one for Carrie. We’ll be in my room.“ Julie said and led the girls to her bedroom, sitting in bed with their snacks.

Carrie looked around at Julie’s bedroom with a smile and sat next to her, taking a sip of her cherry cola. “Your room is cute, Chic. A little different than I remember, but cute.“ She noted, perking up when she saw a familiar box on a shelf. “Hey, is that your dream box?“

Julie looked up and nodded, biting into a dorito she stole from Flynn’s bag.

“Do you still keep the Chanel charm I gave you in there?“ She asked, biting into an oreo cookie.

“Yeah. I’ve thought about putting it on a bracelet, but I don’t wanna lose that. It’s-“ Julie smiled, stealing another dorito from Flynn and getting a “Hey! Not your doritos!“ from her. ”It’s one of my favorite memories of us.“

Carrie looked at Julie and gave her a sweet smile, wrapping an arm around her neck. “It’s one of my favorite memories, too. It was a really good day.“ She said softly, remembering how excited Julie was to have ”a real Chanel charm, mom!“ in her possession now.

She hummed and grabbed another cookie as Julie looked up and excused herself to go do something, unhooking her arm from Julie’s neck. “So Brat.” Flynn looked up, watching Carrie curiously.

“What’s the story on the hologram boys?“ She asked, deciding not to beat around the bush.

“OH. Um. They are- WERE a band from Sweeden. And Julie met them on twitter. And they started skyping and then did the hologram thing and here we are! Now they’re Julie’s band.“ Flynn said and took a swig of her drink, seemingly ignoring Carrie’s squinting eyes.

“Uh huh... Sweeden. That’s what Julie told you?” She asked and Flynn nodded.

“Yup! That’s what she said.“

“And Julie leaving suddenly, that wouldn’t have anything to do with the boys, would it?“ She asked suspiciously, crossing her arms. It totally wasn’t that she didn’t believe her best friends. They were just both acting too weird. Like that time when they showed up at her house unannounced, asked for water and Flynn was telling her and Nick about a racoon or whatever was in her backyard.

Flynn shook her head and looked up when Julie came back in, offering her an oreo.

“Everything good?” She asked and Julie nodded, taking the cookie.

“Yeah, we’re good. Hey. You guys wanna paint each other’s nails like we used to?“ She asked and Carrie nodded her head,  deciding to drop it for now.

“Sure. I’m do for a manicure, anyway.“ She said, deciding she could try again another day.

“Pink glitter for you, I assume?“ Julie asked and Carrie nodded with a smile, watching Julie grab a bottle of polish remover and cotton balls, hot pink glitter polish, a shiny purple polish, and a dark red polish that matched Flynn’s skirt perfectly.

“Hey, I have this exact glitter nail polish in my collection!“ She noticed with a smile and got to work on removing her week old, slightly chipped baby pink nail polish.

Julie chuckled as she started to paint Flynn’s nails expertly, gently holding her fingers still. “Maybe we’re not so different after all, then.“ Carrie nodded at Julie’s comment, laughing softly.

“No, the pink princess and the purple rock star really aren’t that different. The red rap goddess isn’t different from me, either. But she is awesome.” She said, making Flynn smile at the compliment.

“Thanks, Barbie Girl.“

“Just being honest, Brat-“ “She’s just speaking truth, Brat-“ Carrie laughed when she and Julie spoke at the same time, making Julie and Flynn laugh, too.

“I missed this so much. I missed my girls so much.“ She said, leaning her head on Julie’s shoulder.

“I missed you, too, Carrie. We both missed you so much.“ Flynn nodded at Julie’s words, looking up.

“You know... You and Dirty Candy sounded really good at Eats&Beats.“ She said with a smile. “It was so cool, it made me forget why I ha- Thought I hated you.“ She corrected herself quickly. “It was really good choreo and dancing. And I guess those outfits were pretty cute, too.“ She said, making Carrie chuckle.

“Oh, really? Not “too Barbie-like” for your tastes, Brat?“ She joked with a smirk. “You know, I actually came up with that look. I dreamed it up, drew it out and I had the outfits custom made.“ She told them proudly, making them grin at her in surprise.

“Ooh, the pop princess is a fashion designer on the side now, is she?“ Julie teased with a smile as she finished Flynn’s left hand and started the other.

“Oh, you know me, girls. Always looking for something else to be good at. Always looking for something else to be praised for.“ Carrie joked and rolled her eyes at herself, shaking her head.

“You were always the best dancer out of the three of us.“ Carrie smiled at that, looking down.

“Really? I always thought you deserved the title “best dancer“ out of us three, Flynn.“ She admitted softly.

“Me? No. I’m the rapper and the DJ out of us. Julie’s the singer and the pianist and you’re the dancer and apparently, the fashion designer.“ Flynn told her and Julie nodded in agreement, capping the bottle when she finished.

“Yeah, what Brat said. You’re totally the most graceful dancer in the room right now.“ Julie told her, speaking as if she really did believe it, surprising Carrie.

“Oh. Thank you, girls.“ She said softly, feeling her smile grow.

“Yeah, you’re amazing! The way you spin around? I can’t do that without falling over or getting dizzy.“ Julie grinned and laughed at herself.

“And that footwork, girl!“ Flynn said, blowing on her nails to dry them faster as Carrie opened the purple nail polish bottle.

“I work really hard to be that good.“ She said, sitting straighter.

“And all that hard work pays off.“ Julie confirmed for her. “And your voice is good, too! Not just your dancing.“ She said and Carrie smiled.

“Well, you know. Singing runs in the family.“ She bragged and flipped her hair, giggling with them. “Come here, Chic. Time for your nails.“ She said and Julie shifted to get closer, taking one last cookie in her mouth before she let Carrie start painting.

“You were really good at school, too. That song was stuck in my head for, like, an hour after.“ Julie laughed.

“That’s the goal. Get Dirty Candy stuck in everyone’s heads so they come back to our music videos on youtube. Hope one of them is a music rep and we get a deal. Become mega famous like dad.“ Carrie told the girls as she painted Julie’s nails.

“Or, become mega famous like Dirty Candy deserves because you guys are really good and deserve the recognition no matter who your dad is.“ Flynn pointed out and gave Carrie a look.

Oh. Carrie didn’t think about it like that before. She always just figured she would be in her dad’s shadow no matter the recognition she and her girls got. She knew they were good, but she knew her dad would always be bigger. She told Julie and Flynn as much, blinking when they both once again insisted that Dirty Candy was just as good and deserved just as much recognition as Trevor Wilson.

“Thanks, girls.“ She said after a minute and smiled, quickly finishing up Julie’s right hand and grabbing her left.

“Hey, we’re just telling the truth. You and your girls have real talent.“ Julie smiled and squeezed her hand.

“As do the two of you. And your band.“ Carrie said as she resumed painting Julie’s nails before remembering something. “Oh, hey. My friend Kayla wants to know if your bassist is single.“ She told her.

“Oh, Reggie? Yeah, he’s very single.“ Julie confirmed with a quick nod and a grin. “Kayla is Purple Candy, yeah?“ She asked and Carrie nodded.

“She’s got a huge crush on him.“ She giggled. “It’s kinda funny. He’s usually not her type, but he just does something to her.“

“And she does something to him.“ Julie smirked.

“She does?“ Flynn and Carrie asked at the same time, making Julie laugh.

“Ooh, if you two only heard the way that boy talks about ‘that pretty girl that smiled at me at Julie’s school’. It makes me and Luke laugh so hard. And- OH. And Alex, my drummer, he’s a Dirty Candy fan!“

Carrie grinned at hearing more about Julie’s band friends, laughing softly. “Oh, is he? Tell me more about your boys, Chic.“

“Alex really likes dancing. And he loves your music. Almost as much as he loves drumming. And Reggie, he may look like a super cool rock star, but he’s a total dork off stage.“ Julie giggled. “And Luke-” She blushed, growing shy. “Luke is so sweet. He gives really nice pep talks and he’s really supportive and encouraging when I’m nervous or when Alex gets really anxious.“

Carrie smirked and Flynn snickered at the dreamy, far away look in Julie’s eyes, finishing up her nails.

“-And he’s really funny and smart and cute and his lyrics are so good and-“ Julie blushed red and shut her mouth when she realized how much she was gushing about Luke and that Flynn and Carrie were laughing at her. “And- Well, you heard what Flynn said I sound like at school. He’s that. And so much more.“

Carrie snorted and nodded, capping the purple nail polish bottle. “Yes, and she was not exaggerating at all.“ She laughed, making Flynn cackle. “Your little crush on him is so cute, Julie.“

“So cute!“ Flynn nodded, still cackling into her hands.

“He’s obviously special to you. And I hope I’m right that your Luke feels the same about you. I hope you two find a way to be together and he treats you right. If he doesn’t, I’m here to cry to. After I pummel him like roadkill.“ Carrie said, making Julie and Flynn laugh again.

“Thanks, Carrie. I really appreciate that.“ Julie smiled gratefully and blew on her nails, shuffling to let Flynn in her spot to paint Carrie’s nails.

“Hey, that’s what friends are for.“ Carrie shrugged as Flynn opened the bottle with a smile, starting to paint Carrie’s nails.

“I’d hate to be the boy that hurts you, Barbie Girl.” Julie joked with a smirk.

“Ehh, I wouldn’t and don’t pity the next dumb boy that hurts her. He deserves whatever fury she unleashes on him, and what fury I unleash on him, if he loses his mind and hurts her.“ Flynn shrugged.

Carrie laughed at that and shook her head, covering her mouth with the hand Flynn wasn’t painting. “No. No. I’m so over boys right now. I’m not looking for a new boytoy at the moment. I’m just gonna live my life.“ She told them.

“You’re not gonna try to get back together with Nick again?“ Julie asked.

“Oh! I didn’t tell you yet! No, we’re never getting back together. But we talked it all out and we are friends. Just friends.“ Carrie smiled. “Well, on the condition that I don’t force him to watch The Bachelor and The Bachelorette with me anymore.“ She laughed. “Oh, he always got so bored so fast with those shows.“

Julie snickered into her hand, leaning her head on Flynn’s shoulder. “Oh, dear. Whatever will Barbie Girl do with Danforth-Evans now that she can’t watch trashy reality shows with him?“

Carrie almost snorted at that, but stayed still so Julie could finish her nails, chest heaving with laughter. “I’m sure our darling boy can find other things that both of us will enjoy doing together.“

“Our darling boy. That’s nice.“ Julie smiled and Flynn nodded with a grin.

Flynn finished painting Carrie nails and blew them dry, rolling her eyes fondly when she promptly pulled out her phone and took pictures of her nails for instagram. She smiled, though, seeing the caption on the post:

“Nails courtesy of my girl, rap goddess, bomb DJ, graceful dancer and favorite little Brat, Flynn 💖“

Flynn and Julie both liked the post and commented red and purple heart emojis on it, posting their own nails to their instagrams.

Carrie grinned as she liked and commented pink heart emojis on both posts, almost immediately getting a few texts from confused classmates who thought they all hated each other still. She kindly replied to the texts and put her phone away, just talking to the girls about everything and nothing for a few hours.

She left after a while to go home, telling everyone she promised her dad she’d be home for dinner. She hugged the girls good bye and walked out, heading home. She grinned as she thought about everything they’d talked about, looking down at her expertly done nails.

Step five... Semi accomplished? She thought and shrugged after a second, getting home quickly and walking inside. She was at least friends with Nick and hanging out with Flynn and Julie again. That had to count a little bit toward being a better person, right? Carrie thought so. She shut the door behind herself and walked toward the dining room, perking up when she found her dad. “Hi, daddy!“ She grinned happily and hugged him.

“Hi, baby! You have a good time at Julie’s today? How was school?“ He asked, happy to see his daughter so happy.

“Yeah. We talked a lot and we painted each other’s nails- She has the same polish that I do! And we posted it all on instagram because of course we had to.” She giggled again. “And school was school. Made up with Julie and Flynn. Made up with Nick. But we’re just friends now.“

She smiled as she sat down to eat with him, telling him all about her day. She felt her smile grow as he relaxed more, clearly not thinking right now about whatever it was that had been bothering him. Good sign. Good sign. She went up to her bedroom a while after, deciding to go to sleep soon if she wanted a good start tomorrow. She had a lot to do and a lot to say. She got ready quickly and laid in bed, slowly falling asleep.

NCT 127 + U Reaction : You Being Under Anesthesia and They Tell You Things They’ve Never Told You Before

a/n: this was requested and took really long but it was so fun to write because I’ve never written a reaction before so yay! Anyway....I included 127, U, and Kun in this reaction so have fun. Hope you guys like it :D

Genre : Flufffffff x10

below the cut because I’m nice like that ;)

Taeil

I could definitely see him being one of the more emotional ones whenever you go to get your wisdom teeth out

He’s definitely big worried about you

I don’t think he would really express it to you though

HOWEVER

Don’t think that he won’t be taking funny pictures of you during your procedure to blackmail you with later

Once you were completely under though he’d turn into a big softie

Would wait in the waiting room all night just to make sure you’re okay

Constantly talking to the doctors to make sure everything was going according to plan

“How did I get so lucky?”

“You’re so beautiful, Y/N”

Johnny

Today was the day you got the procedure done to donate your kidney

He comes to the hospital with you (of courseee)

Brings hella snacks for both of you

but like

Not healthy snacks. Probably a lot of chocolate.

Watches YouTube videos with you on his phone while you wait

Once you get called he gets a little nervous

The entire time the procedure is being done he’s like pacing in the waiting room

Doing that knee bounce thingy people do when they’re anxious

After the procedure is done and you’re in your room, the biggest smile erupts on his face

“I totally knew you’d be okay babe”

“You’re the strongest person I know”

Taeyong

first off

big baby 1/4

He was already hella concerned when you broke your leg but when he found out you’d have to get operated on

This boyyyyy was freakin out

I definitely see him being one of the most anxious ones

Highkey tries to teach you a choreo he thought of while you’re in the waiting room to calm his nerves

“Oh right, your leg is broken. Sorry babe. Let’s find something else to do then”

Doesn’t want to be separated from you when they take you back

After the operation they tell him he can go back to your room and he could not get their faster

Definitely has a whole conversation with you while you’re still under

“Hurry up and get back to me”

“I love you too much”

Yuta

Why do I picture him being so chill the whole time

Like not in the way that he doesn’t care 

but

He trusts you’re in good hands with the doctors

You’re definitely more nervous than he is

“Babe, you’re just getting your wisdom teeth out, it’ll be okay.”

Plays a game on his phone while your waiting

Or reads one of those magazines they always leave out for patients

Buys flowers after they take you back

I feel like without a doubt he spent at LEAST 15 minutes in the hospital gift shop picking out what kind of flowers to get you

Probably asks the people working there for advice too

The procedure didn’t take too long so he was able to see you pretty soon, even though you were still under

“See babe I told you everything was going to go good”

“You’re so beautiful when you sleep”

Kun

Very similar to Johnny imo

Plays with your hair while you’re in the waiting room

“You don’t need your tonsils anyway”

This makes me soft

Tells you fuckin dad jokes to calm you down like the nerd he is

ALSO

FLOWERSS 

this boy will go all out because he really loves your ass

Expect your room to smell good af after you get up

Why do I feel like he’d order take out for you before you wake up so it’s ready for you when you come to

ik thats like kInDa weird but I just feel that in my soul so

ANYWAY

Lowkey wants to cuddle you the whole time you’re under

“I’ll never leave your side”

“You’re so adorable like this”

Doyoung

Alright this is my bias y’all sooo

I definitely feel like he’s kind of similar to Yuta

a LOT more chill than some of the other members

“I’ll see you in a bit”

“What do you want to eat after this?”

Lots of hugs before you go back

Roams the gift shop while he waits

Probably gets you some small little thing that made him think of you

“She’ll like this”

Sings to you in your room while you’re still asleep

WOW im in love with this boy

Checks in with the doctor to make sure things are going well

Doesn’t leave your side once they move you into your room

Not in the way that he is worried, he just likes being close to you

Treats you to dinner after you’re released

“I never knew I could care about someone so much”

“Take your time babe, I have all day”

Ten

veryyyyy touchy

big baby 2/4

not really worried at all though

Will be all over you before you go back

Just very affectionate in general, regardless of the situation

When you told him you had to get your appendix taken out he was like “okay, lets go get that fixed”

brings snacks like Johnny

When it’s time for you to go back he holds your hand and tells you everything is gonna be okay

Brings you food

Updates the members on your condition (idk that’s just something I think he’d do)

Probably ends up falling asleep in the waiting room tbh

“Are you really under anesthesia or are you just messing with me?”

“I’ll always take care of you”

Jaehyun

wow we love ANOTHER bias

Okay so

Brings his airpods and a speaker so yall can listen to music together while you wait

this is so cute i’m literally crying

why do I see him packing a lunch for the both of you

Does the MOST

“Hurry, you have to eat this before they take your wisdom teeth out”

Big softie

A tiny bit concerned, but knows you’ll be fine

Can’t wait for the cuddles that he’ll give you after your release

repeat after me… TAKES. CARE. OF. YOU.

Most likely ends up feeding you at home too because you’re a mess and can’t do anything for yourself

Once they let him back to see you though he just melts

So proud of you tbh (even though you literally didn’t do anything”

“That’s my baby”

“I can’t wait to marry you”

Winwin

big baby 3/4

Would quite literally do anything for you

Lots of backhugs and reassurance

Jokes around with you to calm you down

definitely shows you memes from the NCT group chat to cheer you up

“I’ll be right here the whole time, don’t worry”

Speaks Mandarin for you because you find it relaxing

lil cuddles in the waiting room

I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH

Y’all have the softest relationship

Expect this boy to literally never leave your side during recovery

Won’t let you do anything but rest because his baby has to be in top condition

As soon as he sees you after the operation he gets a little emotional

Most likely just has a regular convo with you while you’re under

“What do you think about this outfit, Y/N?”

“Yeah, I don’t really like it that much either”

“You’re the most amazing person I’ve ever met”

“I can’t wait to grow old with you”

Jungwoo

big baby 4/4

a lot like Taeyong tbh

aegyo to make you feel better

For some reason I don’t see him worrying too much though

Like he loves you soooo much and you will never question that but he’s just chillin once you go back

Misses your presence once he’s alone in the waiting room

“How long does it take to take an appendix out?”

Probably is wayyy too into a game on his phone when the doctor comes to tell him that he can go back

“Aw baby, you look so cuteee”

“I just want to hug you until you’re better” 

Lucas

honestly

big meme boi

Roasts the shit out of you for having to have your wisdom teeth out

You try and explain to him that it’s literally a common thing but nope

he still make fun

“Don’t worry, even though your body is failing our relationship isn’t”

Asks the doctors soooo many times how much longer it is going to take

Just because he can’t wait to show you some meme he found or tell you some joke he made

Don’t mistake his teasing though because this boy will wait all day in that hospital for you

Goes to get food while he waits

Forgets to get you something and gets mad at himself for being so wreckless

Flowerssss 3.0

idk I just love the idea of Lucas getting you flowers leave me alone

not like this big bouquet tho, very simple. Like maybe a couple roses

Playfully sings to you while he waits for you to wake up

“My ladyYyYyY”

sorry y’all i had to

“I love you so much it hurts”

“I can’t focus when you’re around”

Mark

Jaehyun 2.0 tbh

makes you listen to this new song he found on SoundCloud (yikess we love him tho)

probably raps to it because we been knew he’s a dork

sings to you if you want him to

big cuddler tbh

worries when they take you back

just doesn’t want to be away from you in general

Likes his space but also whiny when he’s in the mood for some time with you

wow i’m really whipped for him, let’s continue

I don’t really see him buying flowers for you but I think he’d roam the gift shop for a trinket you would like

Runs home to get one of your stuffed animals or something to remind you of home and make you feel comfortable

When they let him see you he gets super excited

“Hey baby, long time no see”

“I’m so in love with you”

Haechan

This mans gonna tease you the wholeeee time

Kinda like Lucas but more like a loving tease

Pinches your cheeks a LOT

“My baby is getting surgery todayy”

Your procedure is like a whole event tbh

Gotta pack a lunch

Some snacks for AFTER lunch

lots of drinks

pillows maybe a blanket

Very extra in general

Also very worried when they take you back

Texts the members about how worried he is

“I just love her so much, I don’t want anything bad to happen to her”

Is super relieved when he gets to see you again

“Hello my angel”

“I think i’m falling in love with you”

descendants 3 thots

time to go sicko mode. spoilers obv

this is literally the first descendants movie ive ever seen where mal has a HALFWAY DECENT character arc. with her absentee dad plot and her actually getting called out for once, this is the most bearable mal has literally ever been. and they gave dove cameron a few really nice outfits too but that last one was uggo

speaking of mal getting called out, SHE FINALLY! FINALLY!!!!!!!!! GOT CALLED OUT FOR HER SHIT!!!!!!!!!! both the narrative and the characters told her that what she was doing was bullshit, and she worked to fix it. it was such a breath of fresh air after the past 2 movies acting like she was incapable of making mistakes. BUT i didn’t like how she was forgiven so so easily. everyone was just immediately like “its ok you were trying to do the right thing uwuwuwuwu”

also the absentee father plot was fairly well-handled but also i think just about Every Other VK has an absentee parent.......that should be explored too this isn’t just mal’s problem

MAL AND BEN APOLOGIZED TO AUDREY ITS BEEN 84 YEARS

audrey in this movie was fucking incredible and i love her and she did absolutely nothing wrong. it was wonderful to finally see her mistreatment be addressed and i do NOT blame her for snapping and i would have continued to support her if she just kept being evil. the parallels to maleficent and medusa.........a woman scorned! poetic cinema! women snapping after being ignored and mistreated and spat on will always be my favorite

the fact that they brought back “did i mention” or whatever that song is called.....in FRONT OF AUDREY AGAIN..........the disrespect.

uma and harry were INCREDIBLE i love them to death. i love that they got such a big part in this movie!!!!!!!! uma’s outfits were all AMAZING like GOD whoever’s designing her costumes are doing the most

for the record i am literally never going to care about mal/uma i think mal did too much wrong to uma & the narrative was so racist towards uma in favor of mal that im never gonna be comfortable pairing them together lel

gil and chad individually were a bit better in this movie. i still dont really care about either of them but like gil and jay were gay and im happy chad got terrorized by audrey after 2 movies of disrespecting women

ben/carlos real. i might have successfully been converted to benlos in addition to jaylos after this movie

however, jane/carlos is also very sweet and i support them too

DIZZY/CELIA REAL. BABY LESBIANS

mal turning into an old lady was literally the funniest fucking thing ive ever seen in my damn life like damn bitch audrey got you........told

also the armor dance battle was possibly the stupidest thing ive ever seen i felt my insides rotting

ben’s beast makeup was stoopid and he should be able to turn into one normally and not just thru audrey cursing him but oh well

like spacey said, i think jane being the one to confront and talk down audrey would be much better than what actually happened. i think they were mentioned to be friends in the first movie, and it would show that mal can’t fix everything by turning into a dragon, and she’d have to make up for her mistakes in some other way. it would be better for everyone’s characters i think. ugh but who needs character dynamics ...........

i really thought getting hade’s ember would be a bigger deal than it was but whatever

most of the songs were SO good UGH!!!!!!!!

speaking of songs i loved evie’s but i hated that it was about doug. like the tune and the choreo were INCREDIBLE like sofia carson outsold. but it was about. kissing doug. ://////

smee holding his little babby’s hands was the sweetest thing

when mal was like “uma, today i saw that you care about everyone on the isle” really mal?? youre just seeing this NOW????? she spent the entire 2nd move fighting for the liberation of her peers

i missed lonnie :(

cameron’s tribute was lovely and i teared up. may his memory be a blessing

i thought it was a pretty good ending for the franchise as a whole. it could have been better obviously but i didn’t hate it and i think that’s a great finale for a franchise i have such mixed feelings about. i give it 3 out of 5 stolen magic artifacts
