EXO D.O.: A Little Jealous Part 2! (Your POV)

This part 2 took me really long to get it out. I had initially written it in both Ksoo and Your ‘pov’ in one post. But it got too long! So i decided to change it to just your POV(the norm). I still haven’t decided if i should finish the one on Ksoo’s POV.

Edit: I continued Ksoo’s for fun without the intention to finish it, but I think it turned out pretty decent! So His POV’s part is also up now!!

Part 1 Part 2 Ksoo POV Characters: DKS x reader (+exo & random chr)

————-

Back at the team dinner

At the center of the circle, the bottle spun to minho.

‘Truth or dare!’

‘Truth’

‘Ok so, the team has been really curious. WHEN DID YOU AND Y/N STARTED DATING?!’ Ji Hye asked like she has been holding this in for 10 years.

The both of you were a little taken aback at the question, looking over at each other with a laugh.

‘We are just friends, what gave you that impression? We never dated and will never date guys’ Minho answered

‘No way! You guys definitely look like a couple!’

‘Comeon say the truth y/n! You guys are always hanging out together, i even saw you carrying y/n’s bag for you today’

‘yes yes! Weren’t you both holding hands that day?’

Everyone chimed in disbelief.

‘Didn’t know we appeared this way to you guys. Anyway I was just holding y/n hand to shake off this guy who has been bothering her. And I was just helping Y/N with her bag because she looked like she might die anytime just now’

While everyone was sighing and expressing their disappointment, minho made the next spin. You rolled your eyes at minho when it pointed to you.

You picked dare, wanting to divert the team’s attention to something else instead.

‘Ok then, pick from the dare box.’ You reached your hand into it and pulled out a purple strip.

‘Take a selfie with the person from the previous turn and upload to instagram with the caption ‘a cute us’

You almost had a heart attack reading that, this just fueled everyone’s enthusiasm even more.

Although you knew that kyungsoo probably won’t see this since he doesn’t have instagram, you can’t help but feel guilty and worried about it. You’re attached! (Though you can’t say it) and doing this just doesn’t seem right..

There’s absolutely no way you could get out of this. Denying doing this just makes things seem more suspicious between the both of you.

Making it fast ,you did the dare and uploaded the picture. Totally forgetting the fact that other members followed you with their privates. You told yourself in 10minutes you’re getting out of here and deleting that photo.

-----

As usual, minho sent you back. After such a long day you can’t wait to just take a shower and flop down on your bed.

Heading to the shower, you screamed at the sight of a bug.

Running to your phone you sent a SOS to minho,

‘THERE’S A BUG PLEASE COME BACK AND SAVE ME I DONT CARE WHERE YOU ARE’

Just 2 minutes later the bell rang. That was certainly a little fast, you thought to yourself.

Running to the door, you shouted ‘MINHO YA!’ Opening the door, you were surprised to see kyungsoo’s face instead.

'Oppa, why you here ? Did your photoshoot end early? You didn’t text me back tho...’

‘Uh are you expecting someone? Minho?’

‘Oh right, speaking of which I dont need him now, let me drop him a text. Oppa come in and kill the bug for me please!!’ You dragged him right to your shower and stayed far away while he rid the bug for you.

After the bug extermination, you can’t help but sense something’s not too right with kyungsoo tonight.

Hoping to loosen his seemingly tense frame, you reached out to hug him

‘Thank you, for killing the bug’ at the same time flashing him your sweetest smile.

Sitting down and linking your arms in his on the sofa, you asked,

‘Oppa, do you have something to tell me? You don’t look particularly excited or happy to be here today’

Kyungsoo looked to you, and for a good while, did not say anything. Instead, breaking the body contact, he reached for the glass of water on the coffee table; gulping it down as if it was his courage portion.

‘I saw that picture. The one on instagram.’

Your heart stopped, a wave of guilt washed over you as you started to explain yourself

‘Ah that.. sorry oppa, it was a dare I had to do at the team dinner, I tried so hard to avoid it but I couldn’t say I was attached either.. ’

‘But the string of comments sure made it sound like you guys are the most popular ship in your school?’ Kyungsoo replied with distaste lacing his voice

It dawned on you that you had never shown minho’s picture to kyungsoo, perhaps that’s why he was so upset about this. He must have thought the guy in the picture was someone special to you that you never mentioned.

‘Oppa that’s actually Minho in the picture. And you know we are just really close friends.’

At this Kyungsoo looked a little stunned. You could tell he was in the midst of processing his thoughts as a frown started to form on his forehead.

‘I don’t really like you hanging out with minho.’ Kyungsoo blurted out

Now, you didn’t really understand the situation. What’s with kyungsoo acting like a possessive boyfriend?

‘You were always okay with minho and i hanging out. Why does us taking a picture change that ?’ You were a little irritated, you stood up and started raising your voice.

Seeing that you absolutely lost your cool, kyungsoo didn’t hold back either

‘y/n do you know how i felt looking at those comments?! I am not okay with the whole school thinking you both are together when you’re supposed to be my girlfriend!’, he got up from the sofa in frustration

‘Ya! Even if i am not friends with minho, I can’t always avoid such situations! Because i can’t tell anyone i’m attached, guys still hit on me and people think they can pair me up with random guys because they think i’m single!

To me, they can think whatever they want but minho is just a friend. Oppa, shouldn’t you of all people understand this the most?’

‘You’re asking me to understand when minho actually looks your ideal type? And i never knew about it?’

You were caught off guard at this question. Your ideal type? Tall, well built, sporty , fun... Suddenly realising minho does fit the bill for your ideal type.

Though feeling a little bad now, you were not going to give in to this ridiculous argument. Your friendship with minho was on the line.

‘My ideal type? If we wanted to get together, we would have long ago ok! Why would I get together with you then him?!’

You both stayed silent for a little while, turning your backs on each other at the peak of the argument.

Calming down, you told yourself this could go on and on tonight, or you could just take a softer approach towards your boyfriend.

Out of love, you put aside your frustration and hugged him instead. Leaning into his chest, you didn’t know exactly what to say either.

Dropping to his low voice, kyungsoo muttered ‘When I saw that picture, it felt like my nightmare came true. Every night i get worried that you would one day get tired of dating an idol.. Or even dating someone like me..’

You never knew kyungsoo felt this way, he was never particularly expressive in the relationship. You knew he liked you and genuinely cared for you, but you never knew he loved you this much.

‘we don’t spend alot of time together but you always get to be with minho.. so much that people think you’re both attached..’

At this point, you saw through him. You came to understand the picture triggered his insecurities and manifested as jealousy.

You pulled him back down on the sofa and started

‘oppa, i cannot promise you people will stop misunderstanding minho and i, but i will be more careful to draw a clearer line in our friendship for you.

and i never thought of minho as my ideal type or saw him in a way more than friends. i know it might not put you at ease hearing me say this, but can you trust me?

I have been friends with minho for many years and have met many guys too. But it’s you for me ok?’ you held onto his arm and looked in his eyes saying this, hoping he sees what you feel for him.

Poking him at his little belly, you continued light heartedly

‘though you may not be the most attractive looking man out there...’ causing him to look up at you as you say it.

Giving him a peck on the cheek you continued

‘but you make me feel comfortable and special all at the same time. saranghae oppa, you’re the only one.’

At your words, he pulled you closer and rested his chin on your head, saying

‘ Though i still don’t feel the best about our situation and about minho, but i know we can’t help this.. Just promise to stay with me please’

Raising your pinky finger and turning up to face him,

‘ i promise you oppa!’

Linking your pinkies together, kyungsoo finally smiled back at you today and said

‘na do saranghae’ didn’t really turn out the way i thought it would for a jealousy story, haha. but still hope you enjoyed it!

on a side note, im thinking of doing this scenario for baekhyun too! i think his might be much easier to imagine, hahha. if you’re a baek fan please don’t expect too much tho! it won’t be as long as ksoo’s if i actually do it~

Kinda a personal post that is not required to read but just first line is enough

Also I couldn’t get back to much of personal messages today because:

• i threw up in the morning and it shoookth me

• was running on 2 hours sleep

• had 8 hours of continious lecture and barely made it home just now, eaten, and calmed her shit down

•has 3 assingments and 2 quizzes due tomorrow

•did I mention, I can hear my own breath making Z z Z z Z z z Z sounds due to post-asthma hypersensitive body or SOME anNOYING THING that doctors said

• im mentally unwell because someone I love is mentally unwell and I can’t do a thing to help him regardless of my efforts and also i feel quite sad and desperate in general even though I do my best to not just let it go and get in a depresso mood

• so like. Responsibilities piled up, emotionally at my limit, physically sick, but at least not in so much physical pain.

I haven’t let anything go, though! I take care of my sick body regardless, I try to eat healthy, I /am/ doing the responsibilities one by one and making sure I finish them even if it costs me some sleep, I am trying to mentally reassure myself to things and although I haven’t got to write them down yet I planned some 2020 resolutions and cleaning; they have been on my mind for a long while now so if it all goes well I am planning to get a better start at the new year! I think I have done fairly well in 2019, most of my resolutions came to true by my own efforts anyway.

Anyway I didnt have to give a long explanation about why I was like this, I’d just say “I’m unavailable” if I didn’t want to share, but since I know that most of you care about me as friends (and I care about you as friends too, obviously, that’s a two sided thing), I thought those who care may read, just to have somr sort of idea about why Nila is shitposting but not individually replying. Those who don’t care (with no offense in them since no one is obligated to) have long scrolled past this, anyway.

Ihh I’m tired! Mentally, physically, emotionally, financially, I’m tired at all aspects but worse? I objectively don’t think it will get better. But I also objectively know that I hve no choice but to work to make it better because I love my life that I regained after so much hard work and battling with d, I love my family and friends whose days we brighten together, I (sort of) love my scientific research even tho science doesn’t seem to love me, I love the stories I am writing and the newspaper I am managing, I love walking in the soft wind, I love coffee talks and fun dates and hook ups, I love my pets and I love everyone who reached out to me and befriended me here on this account, I love reading/writing comments to the ao3 and reading/writing replies back to them, I love the fandom stuff we organize, I love working out and then having that serotonin boost, I love offering a newly baked recipte to family/friends, I love casual hook ups and if and when I’m in a relationship (my last rl lasted 3 years sooo... rip.. that was most of my life) I do love loving and being loved in return, I mean, I even love doing laundry like it is such a nice feeling to put all dirt in a machine and then take it back perfectly clean and cozy and nicely smelling, like idk, because of all these things (and more that I forgot to add) I can’t give up from my life and I can’t stop fighting for it to be better. I can’t give up from myself or my loved ones. There is so much to live for.

P.S. I also low key live for the days Given, To Die For, the “photographer Ray” au whose name I forgot, and the teacher/student norray fics ( ;) ) gets updated. I mean I’m sure I’m reading many more fics but these are the stuff I have been looking forward to ever since August or something and just knowing that one day I /MAY/ read a chapter of them sometimes make me motivated enough to go through a day. Also spaceomania’s (damn did I spell that right?! I’m absolutely NOT tagging anyone to this long ass post, don’t want them to go trouble reading it aLL) comments like I’m sure they made not just me but many other authors write a lot more happily than they normally would, oh I also live for Ardency but I am too scared to read it because itnis eNDING so I will procrastinate it, but like, yes.

I have reasons to keep going, I have reasons to stay strong. I may not be feeling my best now and my problems may not be fixed overnight but I have no choice but to have faith in myself & people I love & things I believe in (now, “believe” sounds so non-scientific but that’s subject for another day), so, I’ll go on.

I usually don’t like opening up about suicide or depression since I just think that’s way too personal to talk about (I still havent declared why it happened and I dont think Iw anna talk about it anyway), but, in case someone with suicidal tendencies is reading this (first of all congrats for coming thru this essay idk what kept you here but you’re amazing), just, remember that a year ago I was at where you are and, well, THIS is my mindset now. I am not telling you to compare your journey with mine or anyone else’s. I am just proving you that a way out of that dark tunnel is perfectly possible for you and even if my current situation may not be ideal (to be honest, is there even an ideal life? Problems will always exist), I’m gratefulthat I have got enough reasons to fight for. Sure, my energy still drains sometimes (hence why regular text talk with Nila is difficult. No she doesnt have adhd or anything. She has a fairly good attention span. She just lacks the friggin energy), but I restore it before it gets out of hand. Stuff like that. It’s possible, not for just me, but for you and for everyone. I’m not a publicly-spoken-social-norm-warrior or anything but I will always stand up for anyone who is feeling suicidal tendencies because no—

As someone who went through that, just, no.

Don’t.

Let’s make 2020 better.

*and here my friends, you went through a good representation of what it is like to be in my brain changing 485858 subjects. Anyway NOW that I let ut out I need to do my assignment. I want to reply back to you insividually bevause texting you all makes me feel warm and happy and i also wanna check on you but i need ti restrore my enrgy (i actually tried texting whdn my mood was low and I think I frightened some people over sudden agression so I’d rather text you wisely than text you randomly), so, see you all soon!

I know it is not just me going through shit in her life. So, know that I’m cheering for you and I am always in for friends bringing best of each other, so if you really read this far go do the thing you procrastinate!! Bud!! Go do it!! It’ll feel better!

What a conclusion tho

DM comments Best of Part 2

Best part 2 New698 gammagirl80, london, United Kingdom, 8 hours ago Before she went public with Harry MM had been shown in interviews multiple times talking about her father in a positive light (antidotes, stories, memories, etc). If she’s harbored such resentment since childhood or even early adulthood she wouldn’t have talked about him at all. The isolation from her father (and other friends) appears to have started in 2016. (Replies) New1842798 LittleMsJones, Villefranche, France, 7 hours ago Exactly, it’s because she didn’t want those around her to let it slip who she was and her salacious past. She can’t hide forever, it’s only a matter of time before the real truth comes out and the RF kick her to the kerb. New46649

Rowan, Imladris, 7 hours ago In 2017 she was still pushing this daddy’s girl narrative. The fallout only started after he realised he was about to be cut off after not receiving a wedding invitation. New26589 Sfm001, Wolves, United Kingdom, 7 hours ago She mad her father is risking her meal ticket nothing more. She has no reason not to call her father and not talk about anything other than how they both are. New22415 JS, Somerset, United Kingdom, 7 hours ago She does not want daddy telling the truth about her age or past to Harry. New30468 Heresathought, Southwest, United States, 7 hours ago She was just trying to fool everyone…making it look like she cared so Harry would not think less of her. Now that she is married he is history. New18397 Babe, In Belgium, 7 hours ago My parents did awful things when I was young. However it’s not something I usually mention to people whose business it is not. In fact I find that most people just can’t comprehend what narcissus are capable of so it s better not to mention it. Narcissus are best ignored. Any attention you give them encourages them. Tom and Sam being a case in point. Nothing will shut them up ever. MM is not at fault here. I am sure Hurry was well aware of the situation. New299125 LoveThisLife, Southeast Seashore U.S., United States, 7 hours ago Yes. Started in 2016. So she would not lose Harry. Very convenient timing! New18370 chanceska , No Where Near , United States, 6 hours ago Babe. I totally understand that. But I’ve never fawned over my narcissist family members in public or on social media, like Megan did, either. So she was either lying before about how great her dad was, or she’s lying now. New16386 Curlylocks, Northern Virginia, United States, 6 hours ago It sounds like he was the custodial parent who paid for most of her schooling. That alone should have earned him some measure of gratitude. Surely she can talk to him without telling him anything important. New11303 Korova Milk Bar, Somewhere, United Kingdom, 6 hours ago Babe, I’m sorry that you had a rough upbringing. THat makes you empathetic to others that you think are in the same situation as you, feeling the same way as you. I think you are projecting a lot of your own experiences onto Meghan and this debacle. Bottom line, we dont’ know what Meghan’s situation really is, we can only go off how she professed great love and admiration for her father for years until she married Harry. Combine this with her history of dumping people and dogs that can’t get her ahead, and I can assure you, the sole problem is not Thomas Markle. I think Meghan brings her fair share to this mess as well. New18267 sam my, Westworld, Togo, 6 hours ago But, she was a Daddies girl all those years, and now all of a sudden she can’t be bothered…. any father would be hurt by this treatment. He is only going to the outlet available to him, the media. Was Doria ever mentioned on Tig? New16383 Myrtile, london, 6 hours ago chanceska, either way, she’s a liar. New16238 sweetsexything, vancouver, Canada, 5 hours ago We totally understand the whole story! Meghan presents herself as loving daughter to the media. And now, she’s bagged the gold, Meghans manipulative, liar, fake face comes out - “he is better dead” It would have been easier if Meghan is truth to herself… but she lies. She alyways lies! Everything about her are all lies. New17234 sweetsexything, vancouver, Canada, 5 hours ago My favourite lies are “I didn’t know much about the Royal Family” lol. Is she kidding us? She was always in and out of London thus it says she knows Britain cultures. What about the “I’ don’t want to be a lady that lunches” Lol. Meghan who presents herself as hardworking is not working anymore.“ He isvery sexist, always talking about women as if they are pieces of meat.” And yet Meghan shows up at Craig’s interview and acts like she is a piece of meat “touch me! I’m really hairless” New17271 Iseult, North Coast NI, United Kingdom, 4 hours ago Most people aren’t stupid enough to be fooled by this latest version of the Meghan/father relationship. The truth is she was praising him for all sorts of things until she met Harry, then he was cut out of her life, no more mention of being a Daddy’s girl, something she’d said she was in an interview that’s still on YouTube. Some people want to help her rewrite the narrative, but anyone with a grain of sense can see the timing of when she decided to dump him and her other relatives, including those who’d helped her in the past. Harry is a complete fool not to be able to see this for himself, or maybe he’s such a snob he really wants to persuade people she has no family of her own so he doesn’t have to meet them. How the two of them ever thought they’d get away with a twisted untrue version of events that’s flatly contradicted by every word she uttered about her father in the past I don’t know. Harry really has sunk lower than I could ever have imagined possible. New9153 Lauren, Australia, 3 hours ago Agree, just shows how much cr-p she is full of. New10147 PATRICIA, memphis, United States, 3 hours ago @gammagirl… “antidotes”?, don’t you mean “anecdotes”?

New654 Sam, Denver CO, 8 hours ago The only person I feel sorry for in all this drama is the Queen. She does not deserve this. (Replies) New2192355 D63, Greenville, United States, 8 hours ago True, but she could have put a stop to it, or at least insisted Harry and MeAgain live a private life. New23587 purplevalues, South East, United Kingdom, 7 hours ago I think it would be up to Charles to insist that Harry and Meghan take a back seat role. I don’t think he will do that, as it would be tantamount to admitting that we don’t actually NEED minor royals to cut ribbons at all. New10261 Babe, In Belgium, 7 hours ago Words can’t express how pathetic this comment is… You feel sorry for the Queen. Presumptuous Much?! Lady Di, Fergie, Charles & Camilla…. The RF is a shambles and you think the Queen has naught to do with It? She rules that household like Maggi Thatcher. Every royal house of Europe has passed the torch to the next heir…. Except England. New66159 JS, Somerset, United Kingdom, 7 hours ago Did our queen really take tea with an ex convict? was Doria not vetted by security services beforehand? New24263 zip it44, Markham, Canada, 7 hours ago Then the Queen should do something about this. Quick. New10219 neolang, London, United Kingdom, 6 hours ago The Queen is praised for not being too open with her views and forceful against people she may find unpleasant.t She tries not to interfere too often in drama or political issues. When she does make a comment, it’s usually very concise but passionate such as when she described the Manchester attack as “wicked” but left it as that. New4104 Tiny CO2, Warrington, United Kingdom, 6 hours ago The Queen might be cross but she doesn’t need sympathy. And no, it’s none of her business so she shouldn’t interfere. After all, few can know more about how the press operates. Most people have no idea that this is going on and even more don’t care. New1160 Monalisa Oak, London, United Kingdom, 6 hours ago She had suffered for almost sixteen years from 1981 to 1997 by certain unpredictable new comer to Ryal Family blaming them - the members of RF - and pretending to be a victim before she disappeared overnight. Now another episode has just begun, I do feel for 92 years old lady, though I am a royalist. New1974 sam my, Westworld, Togo, 6 hours ago The queen is the ultimate power in that family, sure she is old, but still has them in line. Look how they act around her to see that. She should have insisted that Harry and Meg live quiet lives, but they wanted to rebrand themselves as the new Humanitarians, and now this fiasco is going on, and will for years it seems. New12293 Myrtile, london, 6 hours ago The Queen might have left the throne to her heir like other regents but Charles is not really someone you want as King.

11.08.18 FTISLAND LIVE [+] IN SEOUL Day 1 [eng trans]

HK said it has been long since the previous concert.. So he asked every single member to do a self introduction

JJ said he is someone that has his good looks improving everytime this comeback. JJ said there is a certain fan that will always scream "JJ is handsome" during this comeback's music broadcast.. and one person is enough to assure his good looks

SH said he will be the one who will maintain the liveliness of today's concert and HK is like.. okay you said you will so you do it alone and Seung is like.. I will need help from the other 4 of you too

HK then grumbled that the ment script isnt flowing the way he wanted then he went "baby's father (ae appa), please do your self introduction" Fans were totally screaming & then we heard "jjang-ie appa" "jaeyulie" from the other ft-uncles and Huni asked how many months old is Jjangie now? Baby's father replied that in next next week, jaeyulie will be 100days old

this concert is kinda split into 2 segments.. one is to let us exercise our bodies with all the fun songs.. then heal our hearts with all the warm songs and then HK commented that they will now head into a segment that we may dislike but they tried to piece something together

the dislike segment is the one where they sang I Hope and I Wish in a very jazzy version.. and they asked if it sounds listenable? if it sounds better than the original? hongki almost danced during I wish emo version, he caught himself at the last moment and laughed at himself lmao

HK also mentioned that in the past there were this period of time where they freaking hate the idol title and he always go "fuck idol" but now he feels that it is good to be able to showcase themselves both as and idol and as a band

HK said not to view this concert with a heavy heart as he is sure that this wont be the last concert before enlistment. He also mentioned that they wish to do a tour in Korea again like what they did before during debut era..

During encore.. Jaejin wore the keychain merchandise on his ear as earring -.-

Before Who I Am.. Hongki had a long speech.. Saying how they were kinda lost since last year and kina unsure on things here and there but everything has been talked out and it's okay now.. But he believes that everyone would have experienced such a period.. where you are lost, and not sure who you are or where you should be going.. there might be people who can understand what he mean now as they are also going through it and there will also be people who will experience this some point in their life but for today, dont view the song with a heavy heart.. just take it as Hongki is sharing his story with us.. he felt happy that he is able to share his story with so many fans at the venue today

HK asked isnt the weather hot? Then fans asked if he is gonna sing Wind next.. so he started singing the chorus and we continued.. after ending the entire chorus.. he said Wind isnt in the setlist Who I Am - The song written & composed by Hongki during his most difficult period of time not too long ago When Hongki said we've entered the second half of the concert, fans went "aaaww". Hongki pointed at his wrist (imagining watch) and explained in English that there's no time Hongki needed changes in his mic so he talked to the staff in Japanese. Fans went "oohh!" and he said he can do English too. "Mic, up up!" GUYS HONGKI IS DUMB HE ASKED 'OH THERES A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT CAME FROM FAR AWAY INTRODUCE YOURSELF' AND WE WERE SCREAMING 'POLAND!!!!!' FROM LIKE 4TH ROW AND HE DIDNT CLOCK HE KEPT LOOKING IN A TOTALLY DIFFERENT DIRECTION AND GOING 'POLAND? POLAND?' HES DUMB SOMEONE ALSO SHOUTED 'PANAMA' AND HE WAS LIKE 'PANAMA? WHAT IS IT IS IT A COUNTRY'S NAME' SO DUMB

Hongki and Jonghun leaving the concert venue... Its not so clear but HK used his manager's arm in waving goodbye; JH lowered down the window when a Pri asked whos inside LOL cute

Your Biggest Fan 1 (M)

Part 2

Pairing: Jungkook x Reader

Summary: You have loved Jungkook since before you even met him, obsessing over BTS and writing the smuttiest fics about him. But once you two start dating you try your hardest to prevent him from finding out. You’re successful for the first few years, until one night....

Word Count: 6,595

Genre: Fluff, Light Smut (who am I kidding this is definitely smut)

Content: masturbation mention, oral sex, Jungkook attempts to be a dom but isn’t very good at it, a little bit of bondage, Jungkook letting you call him Oppa, attempts at dirty talk, Jungkook being the squishy bun that he is

Sneak Peak:

You sit down next to him, mortified, as you watch him reading in silence. “Are… are you actually into this kind of thing..?”

“I.. uh.. I—” you stutter, not knowing how to answer his question. “I mean I guess..?”

“It just seems so rough, so vulgar… Does— doesn’t that hurt?” He asks, pointing to a particularly rough portion of your fic.

“Nothing could be as painful as this right now.”

A/N: My first BTS fic omg and my first smut. This is for @qweentae who made this imagine and I just had to write a fic about it 😂😂😂. THIS IS A JOKE I DONT BELIEVE THAT OPPA KINK IS AN ACTUAL THING. Anyway, here we go~

You sit at your desk and hurriedly scribble notes into your pink floral notebook as you glance at the clock. 5:14pm. You know that Jungkook will be home from dance practice soon, but you desperately want to get the plan for your latest smut fic down before you forget. You write down the last of your ideas, close the book, and slide it into the desk drawer as Jungkook slides his keys into the front door lock. You know you probably shouldn’t be doing this behind his back, but you don’t want him to get freaked out if he found out you were writing smut starring your idol boyfriend. You stand up from your chair as he opens the door, walking over to you and giving you a soft kiss on the forehead.

“Hey, babe.” He greets, a wide grin spreading across his face upon seeing you.

You grimace as he tries to wrap his arms around you. “Oh my god. Please go take a shower; you reek.”

“Sorry, I was in a rush leaving the practice room. I’m going now, my love. Care to join me?” He smirks.

“I already showered,” you reply, gesturing up and down your body, indicating that you were already wearing your pajamas.

“Alright. I’ll see you when I get out.” He winks at you. He’s such a nerd, you think as he disappears into the bathroom.

Sex with Jungkook was pretty good. Not as earth-shattering as you read in fics, and sometimes lacked foreplay, but you can’t complain. He’s a gentle lover, always making sure you’re comfortable and that he isn’t hurting you. It could be a bit boring at times, just plain vanilla, but he still makes you feel good in the end. You love Jungkook, and you know that he loves you. That is precisely why you never told him your secret.

It started out as a hobby during your latter portions of high school, just something you dabbled in. Senior year consisted of a minimal workload and lots of free time, so you needed something to keep you entertained. Around this time you also started getting interested in K-Pop, with a rookie group from the previous year, his group, catching your eye. This was months before you met Jungkook, when his group was just starting out, slowly gaining traction. You spent the rest of your high school days fantasizing about him, and posting those fantasies online. As his work gained popularity, so did yours. You had amassed quite a following in such a short time, receiving hundreds of comments from anonymous users, telling you how much they love your work, which drove you to keep writing, keep dreaming.

As you were nearing graduation, the Bangtan Boys announced that they were playing a show near you, and you begged your parents to let you go as a graduation gift. That night you went with your best friend, Jess, who you also dragged into K-Pop Hell. You had a great time. Most of it was a blur of screaming and jumping and dancing, but you distinctly remember thinking that Jungkook looked so much more handsome in person. The way his shirt hugged his muscles, the way his sweat glistened and dripped down his face, the way his hair clung to his forehead, all by the end of the night had you filled with lust. You knew you had to write about it when you got home, maybe after touching yourself a little bit.

Your plans would have to wait, however, because Jess was complaining about how hungry she was. You drove to your favorite jjajangmyun place, thankful that it was still open at this hour, and still thinking about Jungkook. The two of you sat down and ordered, and within minutes, two bowls of steaming noodles covered in rich, dark black bean sauce were placed in front of you. You were in the middle of stuffing a huge chopstickful of noodles into your mouth as the bell above the door jingled and in stepped a group of seven hungry boys and a handful of their staff. You nearly choked, spitting out the noodles that had filled your mouth, as Jess turned around to see what had you so startled. You immediately locked eyes with Jungkook, but he looked away, thinking nothing of it, since the restaurant was pretty tiny and there weren’t many patrons at this hour. Also, a loud group of twenty-ish year olds just walked in, who wouldn’t stare? Little did he know he was the subject of all your fantasies and the person you think about when you’re alone at night.

You and Jess decided not to engage. They looked tired from the show they played less than an hour ago and the last thing they needed was to be mobbed by crazy fans. However, you two did decide to stay until they too were done with their meals, and told the owners that you wanted to buy dessert for all of them. You also told them to throw in a couple bottles of soju. The boys and their staff were a bit confused when the servers were placing bowls of bingsu and shot glasses in front of them, but one of the owners came over and explained what was happening. They looked over at your table and once again you locked eyes with Jungkook, unable to look away. He gave you a small smile and thanked you before turning back to his table and digging into his frozen treat.

You and Jess paid your bill and left the restaurant, with one last glance at the idols’ table. They were too immersed in their conversations to notice you leaving, until Namjoon stood up and thanked the two of you again. You said it was no big deal and thanked them for the amazing show earlier. You walked out into the parking lot and paused to dig around your purse for your car keys. That’s when you heard the bell on top of the door jingle behind you. You turned around to see Jungkook walking nervously towards you and Jess.

“Wait.” He said. “Thank you again for the dessert, that was very kind of you.” He gave a small smile. His cheeks were a little pink but you couldn’t tell if he was blushing or if it was just the amount of soju he drank.

“Oh totally, it was our pleasure. We wanted to thank you guys for the amazing show. We’re big fans.” you replied, and immediately regretted it. You were just becoming friendly with the guy and didn’t want it to seem like you were a crazy fan.

“I’m glad to hear that you like us. I’m guessing you already know who I am then; I don’t need to introduce myself, but,” he reached out his hand, “I’m Jungkook.” Coming from anyone else, those words could have sounded arrogant, but you saw how nervous he was and found it endearing. You were trying to keep your composure, but on the inside you were about to combust. Jeon Jungkook? Here in front of you? Talking to you? Thanking you? Acting nervous in front of you? You were having trouble processing it all. You and Jess reached out and took turns shaking his hand.

“I’m Jess,” she said first, speaking for the first time since Jungkook joined you. “And this is my friend, Y/N. She’s the one who introduced me to Bangtan and I’m so glad she did.”

“Thank you.” He smiled, unsure of what else to say.

Feeling the awkwardness grow, you interrupted it by saying, “It’s getting late and we should be getting home. The rest of your group is probably wondering where you are. It was nice meeting you, Jungkook. Thank you again for the show.” You were worried that you sounded like a broken record, constantly saying “thank you,” but you were too nervous to think of anything else to say.

The three of you said goodbye one last time as you pushed the button to unlock your car. Jess had already gotten in the passenger seat when Jungkook stopped you again, taking a hold of you arm to prevent you from stepping further. You turned around to face him, but he had trouble meeting your eyes.

“W-wait.” He stuttered. “We’re in town for a couple more days. Let me return the favor to you. Maybe take you out to dinner or something?”

You gaped at him, unsure of what to say. Part of you wanted to scream “YES JUNGKOOK I WOULD LOVE THAT MORE THAN ANYTHING” at the top of your lungs, but the sensible part was telling you that even if you do say yes, then what? You go out with him, and what if you find that he’s not at all what you imagined, that you actually don’t like him all that much, tainting your image of him forever? Or worse, what if you end up falling hard for him, harder than you already have, and he leaves and you never see him again?

Jungkook saw your hesitation and took his hand off your arm. “Or.. uhh.. Sorry. That was too forward.. You need to be getting home, don’t let me keep you—”

“I’d love to,” you blurted out before he could leave. You hoped you wouldn’t come to regret this decision. Knowing that long-distance cell phone rates are insane, the two of you opted to exchange KakaoTalk IDs instead. You and Jungkook parted ways once more and you drove home that night with a smile on your face.

It turned out that he was swamped with schedules the next day and couldn’t take the time to see you, but he made sure to message you whenever he had a spare minute. This made it very hard to focus on writing. Rather than thinking about his strong muscles and toned thighs, you found yourself only able to think about the cute bunny smile he had when you said yes to him and the adorable KKT stickers he would send when he messaged you. This was great for you as a girl with crush, but bad for you as a smut writer.

Jungkook had the next night off, his final night in your town before heading back to Seoul to prepare for BTS’s next comeback. He took you to the fanciest restaurant your small town had to offer. Even by big city standards this place was fancy, with crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling every few feet, luxurious velvet chairs that look like they belonged to royalty, and extravagant flower bouquets at the center of each table. You felt horribly underdressed in your white lace sundress and ballet flats.

“You really didn’t have to do this, Jungkook. I would have been fine just going to the pier and grabbing some ddeokbokki or something.” You say after you two settled in your seats. He looked really good, donning a black satiny blazer with black dress pants and a black button down with white piping on the collar. It was almost enough for your smutty thoughts to return to you.

“I didn’t realize how fancy this place was when I googled it. It is a bit much isn’t it?” He said, taking in the lavish decor. “I just wanted to make a good first impression. I… So like….” His brows furrowed as he tried to get his words out. You looked at him expectantly, watching him fumble.

He took a deep breath and looked you in the eyes before speaking again. “I’ve never really been on a date before?” It came out more like a question than a statement. “Being so busy, we never really have time for dating or anything like that. And you’re really pretty and I really like you like I know I just met you and don’t know you very well but I can’t help it. Not to sound all corny and cheesy but I’ve never felt this way before and my heart beats a little faster when I see that the notification on my phone is from you and all of yesterday I just wanted to call you up and hear your voice but I was too busy and I didn’t want the guys to make fun of me and I—” He stopped himself, cringing at the mushy mess that was spewing uncontrollably from his mouth.

“Jungkook,” you said softly. Part of you wanted to hear what he had to say next, but part of you wanted him to shut up because you could see how embarrassed he was becoming, and yet another part of you wanted to hug him and squish his face and tell him it was okay to feel that way. What happened to the confident boy you saw on stage, the one you wrote cocky frat boy fics about? The boy sitting in front of you was so shy, and so sweet. “If anyone should be nervous it should be me. You’re Jeon Jungkook! K-Pop Idol! Golden Maknae! I’m trying very hard not to get starstruck right now.” You said, hoping to make him feel less anxious. You reached across the table, having to stand up a little bit to reach for his hand, which had been wringing the other ever since he started talking. Once you had a hold of it you looked him in the eyes and said, “Jungkook, it’s okay. If it makes you feel any better, this is kind of my first real date, too. I mean I’ve gone with guys to school dances and stuff but it was never anything serious. That being said, I’m not that hard to impress, so if we ever go out again you don’t have to do something quite so extravagant.”

Jungkook looked at you, eyes wide and mouth slightly open. You could tell his brain was working at a million miles a minute, thinking about what you just said. You opened your mouth to ask him what was wrong when he finally responded, “Okay two things. One: You consider this a serious date?”

“I mean if—”

“And two: You would want to go out with me again?” He looked at you in disbelief, which caused you to look at him with the same expression.

“Uhh… Yes?” You couldn’t believe he was actually asking you this. Why wouldn’t you? Who wouldn’t want a second date with Jeon Jungkook? Especially if he was as sweet and as adorable as he was being in this moment.

The two of you were so absorbed in your conversation that you hadn’t realized that neither of you had opened your menus yet. You were jolted out of your little moment when the waiter came over with glasses of water, asking if you were ready to order. The both of you opened the menus and hurriedly searched for something to order, not wanting to keep the waiter standing there awkwardly for too long. You and Jungkook decided you would each get the chef’s special, which you couldn’t even remember what it was. Something seafood and something ridiculously pricey.

Once the waiter retreated back to the kitchen, you continued with your conversation.

“Yes, Jungkook. I would love to go out with you again.” You said smiling. “I mean if you’re up for it.” You added quickly, not wanting to seem too presumptuous.

“I would love that,” he replied, with his cute bunny smile.

You spent the rest of your night making small talk about family, friends, and life in general while indulging in your seafood something. He shared funny tales of wardrobe malfunctions and stage effects going wrong, and the hilarious pranks Bangtan pulled on each other while on the road. You told him that you had just graduated high school and had applied to university in Seoul and was waitlisted and waiting to hear back from them. He expressed how much he’d love for you to be accepted so you can move to the capital and be closer to him. After you finished your meals, you snuck a glance at the check and offered to split it with him, but Jungkook insisted on paying for you.

After leaving the restaurant, you drove the two of you to the pier, where snack and souvenir shops lined the beach. He took your hand as he led you down the street, looking into each of the shops and listening to the sound of the waves crashing against the shore. You had heard about the ice cream shops here that made ice cream cones in the shape of roses but never got the chance to try them. When you expressed your interest in them, Jungkook immediately dragged you into one and bought you the biggest cone they had. It was way too big for you to finish yourself so you shared it with him, taking turns licking away at the frozen chocolate petals as you continued down the strip of shops.

When you got too cold he wrapped his blazer around you, like a true gentleman, and you couldn’t help but giggle at how cheesy the gesture was.

“Cheesy or not I don’t want you to catch a cold.” You couldn’t help but smile at his concern.

You finished your dessert and your stroll and drove Jungkook back to his hotel. You offered to walk him up to his room and he agreed, trying not to reveal how excited he really was. When you arrived at his door you began to take his jacket off your shoulders to give it back to him, but he lightly grabbed your wrist to stop you.

“Keep it for now,” he said. “You still have to walk back to your car and it’s cold out.”

“But when—” You started.

“Also it would give me an excuse to see you again,” he interrupted. You couldn’t stop yourself from smiling once again.

Before you could say anything, he moved his hand from your wrist to your cheek, stroking your cheekbone lightly with his thumb before leaning in to give you a gentle peck on the lips. You were so startled, and he pulled away before you could kiss him back. He looked at you, scanning your face trying to read it. A disappointed look started to form on his face from your lack of response when you got on your tiptoes and pressed your lips against his. The sensation was electrifying, heightened by the knowledge that you were probably giving him his first kiss. You had been kissed a couple of times before, but you never liked the any of the guys enough to kiss them back. So technically, this was your first kiss too.

You reached up to wrap your arms around his neck, pulling him down to you so you no longer had to balance on the balls of your feet. He put his hands around your waist, grabbing onto the soft lace of your dress. When he kissed you back, it was the best feeling in the world. You opened your mouth slightly and licked his bottom lip, asking for permission to enter. He parted his lips slightly in response and you slipped your tongue in, searching for his. When your tongues finally met, you were lost in the feeling, wanting to stay like this forever, mouths joined, in each other’s arms. You were dazed when he pulled back, suddenly remembering that you were still in the hotel hallway.

“Y/N,” he murmured, his voice hoarse. “If we keep going I don’t think I’ll be able to stop.”

You tiptoe once again to put your lips up to his ear, planting a kiss on the scar on his cheek along the way. “What if I don’t want you to stop?” You whispered. You felt his arms stiffen around you before he removed them from your waist.

When you felt him pull back, you thought you had scared him off, that he was running away. You stepped back and saw that he was actually fumbling for his room key. You reached into the pocket of the jacket that was still around your shoulders and pulled out a small plastic card, handing it to him.

“Thanks,” he said embarrassedly, and rushed to get the door open. “Come on in.” With that he ushered you into his hotel room, taking his jacket off your shoulders.

Fast forward to the present day. You and Jungkook have been together for three years and he has since moved out of his dorm to live with you in your cozy apartment near the university you had hoped you’d get into. Jungkook’s group is now more popular than ever, winning international awards and receiving critical acclaim. You, too, have had your fair share of accomplishments, entering your final year of university, pursuing a bachelor’s in creative writing, and having your fanfiction become some of the most reblogged on tumblr. Over the years, Jungkook has seen you writing from time to time and was, without a doubt, curious. Each time you would tell him it’s a research paper or report for school. He respected your privacy, and didn’t pry. He was so good to you, and you felt guilty for lying to him, but you just didn’t want to ruin what you had.

While Jungkook is still in the shower, you pull out your notebook and go back to writing. You’re so immersed in your fantasy that you don’t hear him turn the water off nor do you hear him when he accidentally knocks over a shampoo bottle while getting out of the shower. It isn’t until he opens the bathroom door, wearing only a towel around his waist, that you are thrown back into reality and you quickly shove your notebook back into your desk drawer.

That was way too close, Y/N, you think.

However, all your worries leave you when you see your boyfriend standing there, still glistening from the steam, half naked, with only a towel hanging low on his waist. Three years with him and you still can’t get over how beautiful he is.

“Hey babe?” He says, interrupting your thoughts.

“Yeah?”

“Can I borrow your laptop? Sejin is supposed to email next week’s schedule to us and my phone is dead.”

“Yeah, yeah, of course.” You hand him the laptop that had been sitting on your desk.

He opens the laptop while you get up to move to the couch. When you look back at him his eyebrows are furrowed.

“Uhhh… Y/N… What is this…?”

You have no idea what he’s talking about at first, and it shows on your face. But your expression quickly changes when you realize that you forgot to close down the draft of your latest smut fic before closing your laptop and handing it to Jungkook.

“Oh my god.” Your eyes are wide and you don’t know what else to say. Your mind fumbles, grasping for words, but none come out.

His eyes continue to scan the laptop screen and you see him place his fingers on the trackpad to scroll downwards.

Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god….

That’s all you can think when you struggle to find something to say to him. You eventually blurt out, “OHMYGODIMSORRYPLEASEDON’TREADTHATIDIDN’TWANTYOUTOKNOW!” But he doesn’t take his eyes off the screen.

You get up and try to take the laptop from him but he dodges you, holding his hand out to stop you.

“Wait, I want to read this,” he says, making his way to sit on the couch where you had just been. You sit down next to him, mortified, as you watch him reading in silence. “Are… are you actually into this kind of thing..?”

“I.. uh.. I—” you stutter, not knowing how to answer his question. “I mean I guess..?”

“It just seems so rough, so vulgar… Does— doesn’t that hurt?” He asks, pointing to a particularly rough portion of your fic.

“Nothing could be as painful as this right now,” you bury your face in your hands. You’re embarrassed beyond belief, but at least he isn’t freaking out and threatening to leave you.

After what feels like an eternity, he sets the laptop down and looks you in the eyes. That’s when you notice the bulge that had begun to form beneath his towel.

He stands up, your eyes still on his crotch, and motions for you to get up as well. “Come here,” he beckons, and you stand up to meet him.

He takes a step closer and leans toward you, his lips hovering next to your ear.

“Jungkook what are you doing?”

“Is that what you really want.” His voice a soft whisper, referring to the smut fic he just put down.

“Um.. well. You never seemed like you’d be comfortable with that kind of stuff and I—”

“I’m not talking about what I want. I’m talking about what you want.” He interrupts you. “So I’m going to ask you again, is that what you really want?”

You stifle a gasp, taken aback by the how aggressive he sounds. His voice comes out like a growl, sounding almost angry. Before you can answer he starts peppering soft kisses along your jawline, and he steps even closer until you can feel his hard bulge against your stomach.

“Uh y-yes?” You stutter.

He pulls back a looks you in the eyes. “Say it like you mean it, Y/N.”

You’ve never seen this side of him. He’s always so soft and gentle, but now….

“Yes, Jungkook. That’s what I want.”

With that he takes your face in both his hands and crashes his lips against yours. “Crashing” is the only way you can think to describe it. You had written it countless times in your fics but you never really understood what it meant until now. The sheer force of this move has you stumbling back a couple of steps to maintain your balance. You have to admit it hurts a little as your upper lip smashes against your teeth, but at this point you’re so turned on that you don’t really care.

With his lips still on yours he moves his hands to your waist and pushes you toward the bedroom, and you try your best not to trip along the way. Somewhere in this frenzy of lips and tongues and hands, Jungkook loses his towel, leaving him completely naked as he pushes you against the bedroom wall closest to the door.

Fully aware of how clothed you are and how naked he is, Jungkook tells you, “Clothes. Off. Now.”

His aggressive tone gets you very excited, and you struggle to unbutton your pajama shirt with your hands shaking. Jungkook reaches out to help you, placing a kiss on your collarbone and moving lower with every button he undoes. When he finally gets to last button, he pushes the shirt off your body, letting it fall to the floor. You pull down your pants and step out of them, leaving you almost as naked as he is. He grabs one of your breasts over your bra and massages it, while he places his mouth on your neck, sucking and biting until pools of purple start to appear. He rubs the tip of his hardened member against your clothed core and you let out a moan. Jungkook detaches his lips from your neck and places them back on your lips as he grabs your waist and pulls you toward the bed. He turns you around and pushes you down onto the mattress with his mouth still on yours. He uses one hand to prop himself up and the other to unclasp your bra, all while rubbing the tip of his cock on your soaked panties, causing you to moan loudly into his mouth.

“You like dirty talk, don’t you?” He asks. You nod in response, unable to speak. His mouth doesn’t leave yours when he continues with, “God you’re so fucking wet, I can’t wait to bury myself deep inside of you— Am I doing this right?”

You want to giggle at his question. You can’t believe this is actually happening, your fics actually coming true. Well, kind of…

“Just let me know if it’s too much. I don’t want to make you uncomfortable or anything.”

“Jungkook, it’s fine,” you respond. “I think you’re being too gentle.”

He pulls away from your lips, looking confused. “This? Even when I pushed you against the wall? And when I pushed you onto the bed? I don’t want to hurt you or anything—”

“Jungkook. Jungkook? Look at me.” You wait until he meets your eyes. That’s when you tell him, “I don’t care. I want to be fucking dominated.”

Something in his demeanor changes; the concerned look instantly wiped from his face as you say this. He slams his mouth back onto yours, causing you to gasp, and he grinds himself harder into you. The friction against your clit through your underwear is enough to bring you close to coming, and Jungkook can sense this as your breathing becomes more shallow. He moves his lips away from yours and starts kissing down your body until he’s hovering above your wet center. He pulls your panties off and drops them on the floor, returning to face your throbbing core. You can feel his breath on you as he moves in closer. He places his tongue on your clit, swirling it around gently. A soft moan escapes your throat. Then he remembers what you said about him being too gentle, and starts moving faster, pressing his tongue into you with more pressure. This makes you moan louder, exactly what he wanted.

He moves lower and licks up and down your slit, scooping up your juices with his tongue. “Mmmm.. You taste so fucking good, Y/N.”

“Jungkooooooook,” you moan. “I’m so close. I’m gonna come.”

On any other night he would have let you. He would have been more than happy to make you come right then and there, but he remembers what he read in your fic earlier.

“Beg for it.” He says, pulling away from you. You groan at the sudden lack of touch.

“W—what?” You’re somewhat shocked. He has never spoken to you that way before. You’re kind of liking it. Who are you kidding? You’re very much liking it.

He moves back up your body until his lips are by your ear. “If you want to come, you have to beg for it.” You begin to feel like he’s enjoying this a little too much, but you don’t mind. Not at all.

“Please, babe,” you plead. “Let me come. Please.”

He smirks at you. “That’s my girl.” And slides back down your body.

Jungkook uses his thumb to rub your clit as he swirls his tongue inside of you. Your climax quickly approaches, and before you know it, you’re screaming his name as you come into his mouth. “Fuck, babe. I love hearing you say my name. Fuck I fucking love you so much.” He seems like a completely different person than the Jungkook you’ve known for the past three years, but that boy returns when he says, “I’m allowed to say I love you right? That doesn’t ruin the mood or the facade or whatever? And you’re not mad that I asked you to beg, right? I mean, this is our first time doing this roleplay type of thing, and you know I would never do that if it were actually me, right?”

You try not to laugh. “Yes, Jungkook, I know. If I didn’t like it, we wouldn’t be doing it. You’re such a nerd sometimes. You’re sure you’re comfortable with all of this, right?”

“Yeah, of course. Definitely. I would do anything to make you feel good.” He moves back up to kiss you on the lips, and you can still taste yourself on his tongue. He pulls back smiling. “That being said, now that you’ve come once, we can let the real fun begin!” Jungkook springs off the bed and disappears into the closet.

“Babe, what are you doing?” You call out to him.

“In your fic you wrote about bondage, right?” He asks from the closet. “Well…” He emerges carrying a handful of his belts and neck ties. “I thought we’d try it.”

The next thing you know he’s on top of you again, looping a belt around your joined wrists and pulling it tight in one swift motion. He roughly yanks the belt so that your hands are positioned above your head. It surprises you, so you let out a little gasp.

“Am I hurting you?” His brows knit together in worry. “If I’m hurting you please let me know. If you’re not enjoying it, I’ll stop.”

“You don’t have to keep asking, Jungkookie. If you’re hurting me I would tell you,” you reassure him, placing a firm kiss on his lips

“Do you want to be blindfolded?” He asks, gesturing toward the pile of ties that he brought from the closet.

“No, not right now,” you answer. “I like being able to see you.”

He smiles and kisses you again. “Ready?” He asks. You nod.

He resumes character and runs his length along your slit, covering himself in your arousal. “God, babe, you’re still so fucking wet. And all for me.”

He places a few soft kisses on your neck, causing you to moan, and your heart to pound. He pauses to line himself up at your entrance. “I’m gonna fuck you so hard.” As he finishes his sentence he thrusts into you with such force that you slide back a little on the bed and let out a scream. He mistakes your surprise for pain and stops abruptly, breaking character once again. “Oh my god, was that too hard? Are you okay?”

“Yeah, yeah. I’m fine, babe. Keep going, that felt good.”

The concerned look leaves his face and he continues thrusting into you roughly, not giving you time to adjust to him inside of you. You don’t mind, however. The pleasure you feel outweighs the pain. Jungkook goes faster and harder with each thrust, and reduces you to a screaming, sweaty mess.

“Does that feel good, babe? I’m sure it does. Fuck, Y/N. You feel so tight around me. You feel so good, babe.” You see that he’s starting to enjoy it more, which turns you on all the more. He gets on his knees and holds you up by the back of your thigh with his free hand as he continues thrusting into you with great force. This position allows him to slide in and out easily, hitting your g-spot each time.

“Ahh, yes god Jungkook that feels so good! Keep going. Right there.”

He looks at you, being the hot, panting mess that you are. “Is there anything else you want me to do? Anything else that can make this feel any better?”

You’re so engulfed by pleasure you have trouble thinking of a reply. You open your eyes to meet his. “Can I call you Oppa?”

Jungkook is so shocked that he pauses mid-thrust, but resumes before saying, “You wanna call me Oppa?” The confused look on his face has you worried that it’d be too weird for him. You two were born in the same year, with you a whole six months older. He doesn’t even let younger fans call him Oppa, so why would he let you? However, it is something that you’ve always wanted to do, and he did ask. After thinking about it for what feels like way too long, he answers with a smirk. “Have you been using banmal with me this whole time? You should be speaking to me formally. I am your Oppa, after all.”

As cheesy as he’s being, you can’t help but moan at his words. “Yes, Oppa. Anything you say,” you reply more formally.

“You’ve been very rude today. I might just have to punish you.” He leans down and moves his hand from your thigh to your neck, pressing down on your jugular, his face just inches from yours. He is getting so into it and you love it.

The reduced oxygen to your brain merely heightens everything you're feeling and you can feel your second orgasm approaching. “Jungkookie Oppa. You feel so good, Oppa. I’m going to come again.”

Jungkook moves his face closer to yours, so that his lips are just barely touching your lips. “Come for me, babygirl. I want to feel you come around me.” You didn’t think it was possible, but he starts thrusting into you even hard than before, until you’re screaming at the top of your lungs.

You clench around him, so close to your high. Jungkook moans in response and his beautiful voice is enough to push you over the edge. You scream out his name as you reach your sweet release, and he moans even louder as he feels you coming around him. His thrusts slow down but don’t stop as he helps you ride out your high, pushing him closer toward his. Just as you’re starting to calm down, you feel Jungkook come inside you, his hot seed coating your walls. He thrusts into you a few more times, then pulls out. He’s panting hard and his forehead and chest are covered in a thin layer of glistening sweat. He drops down on his back beside you, still breathing hard.

“Fuck,” is all he can say. The two of you lay there for a while, listening to each other’s breathing, trying to calm yourselves down.

“That was amazing, Y/N.” He finally manages. “We should do that again.”

“You liked it?” You ask.

“I mean it was a little weird at first because it was so new to me, but yeah. Once I got more into it, I like really got into it.”

“So you’re okay with all this? Not just the bondage and stuff but the fact that I write fanfiction?”

“Yeah, I mean I guess. It led to all this didn’t it?”

You chuckle and turn your body to rest on his chest. You’re about to put your arm around him when you remember that your wrists are still bound. “Uhh, Jungkookie.”

“Oh right, right. Sorry I forgot.” He gently removes the belt and tosses it aside. He winces at the red marks it leaves behind but you assure him that you’re okay. You snuggle against him and he places a kiss on the top of your head.

“You didn’t eat anything when you got home. Are you hungry?” You ask, breaking the silence.

“No, I think I’m good for now.”

You crane your neck to face him and you see he’s looking at you with that bunny smile you love so much. You give him a gentle peck on his lips before placing your head back on his chest.

The two of you lay there in silence once again. Jungkook twirls his fingers in your hair, and all you can think about is how you used to be so scared that Jungkook would find out your secret, but now that he knows (and actually likes it?) you can’t help but feel a tremendous weight lift off your shoulders. You feel yourself becoming drowsy and drifting off to sleep, wrapped in Jungkook’s arms.

The last thing you remember before sleep takes over is Jungkook leaning down to whisper, “Just FYI, you know Yoongi-hyung is the one with the oppa-kink, right?” And you fall asleep that night with a smile on your face.

EXO D.O.:A little Jealous Part 2! (D.O. POV)

Previously I mentioned I might or might not do Ksoo’s but I started writing out of fun and decided to complete it! I really liked this one, hope you guys will like it too! You might wanna do a fast read at part 1 again so it wouldn’t seem too abrupt~

And for those that are new here, there’s a Part 1 and Part 2 (Your POV) to this scenario! The part 2s can be read as a either or if you don’t really wanna read both.

Part 1 Part 2 Your POV

Here it goes!

—————

Kyungsoo walked straight out of the door without thinking, letting his legs bring him to wherever was quiet. Heading for the elevator, he punched for the ground floor. Seeing an empty cafe as the elevator doors open, he sat down at an empty table trying to sort his thoughts.

The comments he saw kept running through his mind:

‘Cute!Ship ship!’

‘Last long! Was waiting for you guys to make it official!!

‘after so long, finally?!’

A part of Kyungsoo wants to believe in you, surely this was a misunderstanding.

Yet the comments he saw didn’t make sense to him. It made him afraid to give his trust, not wanting to feel like a fool if it turned out for the worst.

Kyungsoo can’t help but compare himself with that guy in the picture. The guy sure looks taller than him and better built . He even had those looks that guys would take a second look at..

Pulling out his phone, he thought to type a text to you, but not sure what to say. Typing then deleting it again and again. Just then, Suho’s call came in:

S: Kyungsoo-ya, the photographer’s wife got into an accident. He’s postponing the remaining shoot to rush to the hospital. We’re heading off , are you coming with us?

KS: uh okay. Hyung could you take my bag for me? I’ll meet you guys at the carpark.

—

In the van, everyone was tired after a long day and the van was quiet. But at the back, jongin and junmyeon sat beside Kyungsoo with some sort of tense silence.

‘Hyung, are you not going to ask Y/N about what happened?’ Jongin asked

‘Kyungsoo ya, jongin is right. You sitting here and overthinking isn’t going to solve the situation. Even though that guy is really handsome, you’re not goin to lose to him if y/n loves you. Text her or look for her’

Junmyeon’s words hit kyungsoo right where it hurts. Making a decision, he asked the manager to drop him off when the van passed by your living estate.

Kyungsoo walked nervously to your apartment, not really sure what he should exactly do when he sees you. Before he knew it, he was already right in front of your door. Taking a breath in, he pressed the door bell.

‘Minho ya!!’ Came your voice from behind the door.

Hearing his girlfriend call another guy’s name so frantically made him feel just a little strange.

Looking up at you as you opened the door, he saw your look of surprise, or was it shock(?)

‘Oppa, why are you here ? Did your photoshoot end early? You didn’t text me back tho...’

Though hearing your questions, he was not being able to hold back that feeling of discomfort bugging him to ask

‘Uh are you expecting someone? Minho?’

‘Oh right, speaking of which I dont need him now, let me drop him a text. Oppa come in and kill the bug for me please!!’ His eyes dropped to your hands that were pulling his arm, making him feel fuzzy in a moment, then downcast again. How long as it been since you guys last met? So long that he almost forgot this feeling of warmth only you could give him.

With thoughts clouding his mind, he killed the bug, dumping it away without even speaking to you. Not because he didn’t want to , but he doesn’t know how to. Just then, you gave him a hug suddenly ,

‘Thank you, for killing the bug’

Seeing that smile on your face reminded him just how lucky he was to have you and how much he hated these feelings of uncertainty and anxiousness right now.

Sitting down on the sofa together, you linked your arms with him, then suddenly breaking the silence.

‘Oppa, do you have something to tell me? You don’t look particularly excited or happy to be here today’

Kyungsoo felt his throat going dry, thinking, it’s scary how easily you knew him inside out even though he was so indecipherable to other people...

Setting his mind to stop avoiding the issue, he reached for the water on the table, almost hoping the water would clean up his thoughts for him.

‘I saw that picture. The one on instagram.’ Not exactly having the courage to look at you, he glanced over your eyes quickly and waited for your reply.

‘Ah that.. sorry oppa, it was a dare I had to do at the team dinner, I tried so hard to avoid it but I couldn’t say I was attached either.. ’

Choosing not to be convinced just yet, kyungsoo added quickly

‘But the string of comments sure made it sound like you guys are the most popular ship in your school?’

He saw a small frown on your face briefly and his heart was pumping so loudly in his ears. What if .....

‘Oppa that’s actually Minho in the picture. And you know we are just really close friends.’

At this Kyungsoo was a little taken aback. He did not expect that to be Minho. In your description, Minho was an over competitive loser and one that’s always up to dumb things. This absolutely gave Kyungsoo a false impression that he’s just another childish guy out there or some lanky guy in the track team.

He tried to convince himself to be understanding afterall he knew deep down you both were just friends. But who was he kidding, he suddenly really hated the idea of you and Minho hanging out together everyday, giving everyone the false impression that you both are a couple.

Not being able to contain that internal conflict, he blurted out without thinking ‘I don’t really like you hanging out with minho.’

Crap. Hearing his own voice saying it, he felt selfish and guilty, yet also raw and vulnerable because that’s how he truly felt.

‘Oppa, you were always okay with minho and i hanging out. Why does us taking a picture change that!?’ Seeing you suddenly getting up and raising your tone in exasperation, he knew he hit the trigger button.

But similarly, he was almost at his breaking point now. Not being able to keep his emotions under control anymore, he shot back

‘y/n do you know how i felt looking at those comments?! I am not okay with the whole school thinking you both are together when you’re supposed to be my girlfriend!’ and he too got up from the sofa in frustration.

To me, they can think whatever they want but minho is just a friend. Oppa, shouldn’t you of all people understand this the most?’

Understand ? Is this how idols who date non idols communicate with their partners when they face scandals and what not? Who would have thought the situation would be reversed this way for himself ?

‘You’re asking me to understand when minho actually looks your ideal type? And i never knew about it?’

The words left his lips, seeming to surprise both you and him. He tried so hard to bury this insecurity inside him. But feeling all hurt and angry with himself, with this situation, he couldn’t really hold it in to deal with it himself. When he first saw Minho’s picture, even he had to admit minho was good looking. And now knowing someone like him was your close friend, he struggled to handle this truth.

‘My ideal type? If we wanted to get together, we would have long ago ok! Why would I get together with you then him?!’

At this it rendered him speechless. That ‘assurance’ was not assurance at all as you both reach the peak of your argument and let silence rule the house. Scenarios of you and Minho hanging out together, having fun kept passing through his mind. How Minho was far better looking than him, far more fun than him, maybe even far more compatible with you than him were thoughts that rudely barge through his mind.

Feeling like this was more than what he could bear at the moment, he was about to walk away, but right there and then your hands wrapped around his waist, in between his arms, and leaning unto his chest. Though you did not say a thing, he understood your gesture of love. Overwhelmed with emotions, he muttered

‘When I saw that picture, it felt like my nightmare came true. Every night i get worried that you would one day get tired of dating an idol.. Or even dating someone like me..

we don’t spend alot of time together but you always get to be with minho.. so much that people think you’re both attached..’

He knew this sounded weak and clingy , someone he doesn’t ever want to be in front of you. But your hug gave him courage to be honest, knowing that sometimes he doesn’t have to pretend like he can hold everything together when he really couldn’t. Through your hug, he knew that some of these insecurities were unfounded because he felt loved right at that moment. Yet the battle with his inner demons has not ended.

You pulled kyungsoo back down on the sofa and started

‘oppa, i cannot promise you people will stop misunderstanding minho and i, but i will be more careful to draw a clearer line in our friendship for you.

and i never thought of minho as my ideal type or saw him in a way more than friends. i know it might not put you at ease hearing me say this, but can you trust me?

I have been friends with minho for many years and have met many guys too. But it’s you for me ok?’

Looking into your eyes, he quietly let the words you say sink in and thought inside ‘it’s you for me too, don’t leave’

Poking him at his stomach, you continued

‘though you may not be the most attractive looking man out there…’

He knew you were joking, but he can’t help feeling a little down at your words, until you gave him a peck on the cheek and continued

‘but you make me feel comfortable and special all at the same time. saranghae oppa, you’re the only one.’

At your words, he couldn’t hold back his urge to pull you closer, resting his chin on your head he said

‘ Though i still don’t feel the best about our situation and about minho, but i know we can’t help this.. Just promise to stay with me please’

You raised your pinky finger and turned up to face him, replying brightly

‘ i promise you oppa!’

Linking your pinkies together, the storm inside kyungsoo finally cleared up today. Smiling back at you, he says the words he longs to say to you everyday till forever

‘na do saranghae’

✿ Does anyone in real life know about your RPing hobby and what, if anything, have they said about it?

My parents know, because for as long as I’ve been on the internet, they’ve known that I like to write and write with friends overseas. My dad still calls it fanfiction somtimes to other people, like he’s proud of me or something, and that’s enough to make me want to never talk to him again out of embarrassment, ha, but I deal with it. Because I truly do love writing more than anything. Other than that, my boyfriend knows, but he doesn’t care about it / ask questions and I don’t really like to tell him about it either. I’m not as embarrassed about RP as I used to be, but I still feel like it’s just something for me that other people wouldn’t really understand the mechanics of. The only times my boyfriend and I do acknowledge it is when I start talking about an RP friend he hasn’t heard about before like a real life friend, so he’s like who dat and im like oh, new rp friend from > insert country

That being said, he actually did surprise me the other week and I have been holding onto it for fear life. We were complaining about a friend who literally just sleeps and watches Netflix all day when she’s not working, and he’s like “I don’t get how you can do that” and im like “Well I have friends online who claim to do that a lot. Me, personally, I’d get too bored.” and hes like “I just don’t get how people can do nothing all the time? Like at least with you and your online stuff, that’s still doing something. I just feel like that’s actually a hobby.” and I kind of didn’t hear whatever else it is he said because he actually ??? referred to my RP addiction as something valid and worthy??? and all this time i’ve assumed he didn’t get it and thought it was dumb??? IDK, it made me feel good.

✿ Have you considered writing professionally or do you have plans to?

Always. But I never will, I don’t think.

✿ How do you handle the toxicity sometimes found in the roleplaying community, particularly in fandoms?How has roleplaying, specifically, impacted your life?

I use tumblr savior to blacklist a lot, because it really gets too much for me to be exposed to it a lot, and it makes me feel shitty and not want to rp with certain people because of how they behave, or makes me feel guilty for how I behave… I usually drift away from things that give me major negative vibes, otherwise I become in great, exponential danger of saying something i’ll regret. I’ve hated Tumblr RP a lot in this last year. It’s nowhere near as relaxed as it used to be, and I know there’s a lot of political debate on the topic of equality but I am not comfortable in a space where I have to edit everything I do and say or just not do or say it at all. When it gets like that level, a good dose of the unfollow button and keeping my mouth shut is what I find the most helpful.

✿ How has writing improved your life and do you see yourself sticking with it?

When I graduated high school, I went to college for art and animation, and it basically ruined my creative life. Before RP, I used to be an avid drawer, I sketched every day, I improved my skills and motivation so much, everyone knew me as the girl who drew in class instead of did her work, the girl who was going to grow up and be a famous artist, and when I went to college, it killed that for me. My ego took a big blow because the tech side of the course absolutely annihilated me, i couldn’t do it. so after that (and that was 2 years ago now) i haven’t really drawn since. but the silver lining was that I took on RP more dedicatedly after that, and found that I truly adored writing. Try as I might, I’ve never really comitted to a personal writing project, and it’s only in the recent times that I’ve taken the pressure off for me to do it, but. RP makes me happy, it makes me feel like I’m doing something good when I reply to people or make new friendships, it makes me feel like I’m wanted and needed, that my characters and plots are valid and that other people would care if I’m here or not. It was a big boost for my self confidence, and it’s also made me so much more privy to the creative world, which i needed after that. so yeah, i see myself sticking with writing.

✿ Is there a quote from a piece of literature that holds great value to you? What is it and why is it important to you?

She stood in front of her closet mirror in her T-shirt and twisted this way and that. What’s wrong with me? She wondered. There was nothing the matter that she could see. She was tall and leggy, like her mother, with full breasts, small waist, and slim hips that curved enough to show she was female. Her skin was gently golden; it was always golden, sun or not, and her tawny hair was thick and long and wild. So why was it that groups of girls stopped talking when she approached them at school and answered her openings with tense words that killed the conversations she tried to start? Was she too good-looking? Was that possible? Was that the threat they saw?

Legitimately, this was the first and pretty much only female protagonist I had ever read about who fully and whole-heartedly loved herself where it mattered. Sure, she still had her shortcomings and moments of weakness, but god damn, Vivian was so proud of herself and what she stood for, and that was so refreshing to see during that period of young adult fiction. It’s why she became my first favourite character from a book. And has pretty much inspired me to write feirce, aggressive, self-assured female characters ever since. I was just so inspired by her way of thinking as a young girl, it appealed to me so much and so that moment in the book plus a whole lot of others, really stuck with me.

✿ What do you typically look for in a roleplay partner?

Cliche, but chemistry. And not always in the writing kind but a lot in the OOC kind. I like people who I can talk to super easily, who write in the same tumblr language I do, who reference memes and are not afraid to hit me up with IMs and head canons, etc. I just love it because it makes me feel comfortable with a person, and like I’m not being a bother. The better I get to know a player, the better I get to know their character away from IC interactions. Likewise, I adore it when players get to know me so well that they read the patterns in my characters easily, and I don’t feel like I have to explain them all the time? It’s like they just know, and they know what path I want to put them on. I also look for honesty, people who are down to tell me what they’re feeling about a situation or whether something bothers them, or is able to voice if I’m doing something wrong. Most importantly though, I look for decisive people. Not overly decisive but it’s just so important for me to have someone who is like “yes that sounds good, i can start a thing for you if you want” or “i dont think that really fits, how about this plot idea instead?” I really cannot stand sending IMs to people about plots and characters and them just agreeing off the bat the whole time, but never really deciding on anything either, and so it makes me feel like i’m just paddling in a circle until i make all the decisions for us. To me, that’s not what RP is about. It involves teamwork, and effort, and to me, that’s not putting in effort. It gets me really frustrated.

✿ What made you want to join the roleplaying community?

I kept seeing bios in celebrity tags, and so when i sussed out what group rp was on tumblr, i was like holy shit there is a name for the thing i have been doing with friends over email for so many years???? and you can use PICTURES? i gotta get on this.

so somehow, i found a group rp that allowed mythical creatures, i wanted to be a peter pan mermaid, and the rest is history~~

✿ What one piece of literature has been most inspirational/life changing for you? Why?

(( Blood & Chocolate, by Anette Curtis Klause — because of the main character, as per mentioned. She’s inspired me to write full-on, aggressive, assertive, don’t-tell-me-what-i-can-and-cant-do female characters without apology. ))

The Truth About Forever by Sarah Dessen — it’s hard to explain exactly why, and it doesnt even just involve ONE of her books either, but they’ve kind of shaped my whole general character story directions?? her books always follow a pattern and i really admire that pattern, even if it is repetitive, and i am secretly a hopeless romantic so i really like how her love stories evolve. it’s always slow burning, the boy is usually a direct surprising love interest, and the girl always gains new friends and family out of it, and the stories always involve a nice little reoccurring theme. In the Truth About Forever, it’s a game that she and a boy plays throughout the entire book, which eventually leads to a shift from friendship to something more. THAT PLOT HAS APPEALED TO ME EVERY SINCE. the example of a teeny, tiny, otherwise-completely-average moment greatly impacting the rest of a characters life with someone else… i am weAK for this concept ok. her females are always usally feircely independent too and that gets me ♥

✿ Who are your top three favorite fictional characters and why?

Vivian Gandillon (Blood & Chocolate) — i swear i could go on repeat forever haha, but i’ve basically already mentioned why.

Jace Herondale (Shadowhunter Series) — back when the first like, two books had only been published, i super fell hard for this series and it was straight up because of the commentary done by Jace and his ability to senselessly bicker with everybody in his path. his comments to me, were always absolutely hysterical. i was so in love with his wry and witty comments, especially the way he kept at ease and casual through super distressing situations, and i really wish id kept reading the rest of the series as it was published, but i seriously fell behind. then the movie came out. then the netflix series. now i’ve grown too far out of it and having to see the cast on my dash every second of every day makes me want to burn the books.

Shane Collins (Morganville Vampire Series) — this is an oooold old series that i used to read religiously, and it was more in the style of anita blake and buffy vampires~ rather than twilight and true blood -esque content. it got really weird and complicated though so i gave up on it, but for a time, i adored it. and i loved shane because he was hilariously human, he hated everybody except his housemates (though sometimes that could be questioned) and nobody held a grudge better than him. he had a knack for getting in trouble, usually on his own accord, was feircely protective and spent most of his time just being a genuine nuisance and temper tantrum thrower. i saw a lot of me in him, and idk. i just like people with tempers, i think it makes them super fun to read.

8 Dos and Don’ts To Improve Your Social Media Marketing

There are dozens of social networks and while some marketers believe that signing-up for each and everyone is well-worth the effort, others agree that following that practice is rather futile.

In the following article, I am going to talk about the two big social networks – Facebook and Twitter.

As you certainly know (unless you’ve been living under a rock), those three social mediums are currently the ones marketers pay most of their attention to.

And it’s no wonder – each works on a different principle but either way the potential is there and if you are serious, you can also get some serious traffic.

Leaving that aside, below I will share some of the common practices people seem to follow on this social media trio, which ones are worth and which are plain myths.

Facebook Dos and Don’ts

1. Do Share Your Own Content Every Day

That is the golden rule. There’s really nothing bad in self-promotion. But unless you’ve spent hundreds of dollars to advertise your fan page or to create sponsored stories, generating a buzz around your fan page and turning it into traffic is no easy task.

The Facebook page is yours, so there’s really nothing bad in sharing posts from your own blog. I’d say doing so is actually obligatory if you want to make Facebook a worthwhile time-investment.

Don’t expect that just the link in the fan page about field will get people clicking and reading your blog.

2. Be Careful not To Bore People

Yeah, your articles (or articles from other blogs for that matter) might all be interesting and they might all provide information, that’s worth the read.

However sometimes people just want to have fun.

And as serious as your niche might be, there should always be place for that.

Stories, comics, pictures – you need to mix things a little.

Those are the kinds of posts that get the bigger part of the likes, shares and comments.

3. Be a Real Person, Not a Just the Next “Brand”

A Facebook page can either be very impersonal OR it can be a place where all kinds of folks come to share their own points of view on different matters. What you make out of it is all up to you and I’d highly recommend you the second option.

The first step is to start writing descriptions to each and every story you make. It doesn’t matter if it is an image that you are sharing, your latest blog post or an infographic you just came across. Whatever it is, make sure to tell people why you are sharing that specific piece and tell them why they should take a minute to check it out.

Additionally you should also pose different questions, reply to those who comment on them and thus create a discussion. Whenever someone leaves a comment, be it a positive or a negative one, you should always have a standpoint.

In short, show people you are a living, breathing organism, just like them!

Here are 10 tips to creating engaging Page posts from Facebook for Business.

4. Don’t Irritate Your Fans

Especially with the notification system that Facebook made available for the fan pages, you should pay even more attention to what you share.

Since that feature allows your fans to subscribe for your updates i.e. to get notified via the notifications icon on the top bar, you must make sure not to irritate them.

Basically consider factors such as how much stories per day you post (I wouldn’t recommend more than 2-4), how much promotional content you share (for instance reviews of products with affiliate links in them) and also what the ratio between publications with links, text only and images is.

Also make sure not to post too many images and quotes – although they tend to get lots of attention – they shouldn’t be the focal point of your Facebook marketing strategy.

Twitter Dos and Don’ts

5. Don’t be Afraid to Use Automation

Over time I’ve seen lots of different opinions on the automation topic. It seems like lots of marketers don’t think of it is a genuine way to make progress in the social media realm.

But in the end, I can’t really see why so much criticism revolves around automation…

As bloggers our priority should come down to creating content. Looking from that perspective, every saved minute that goes towards writing, should be valued.

6. Use Twitter for More than Sharing

Blog post ideas, new connections and lots of interesting discoveries are some of the things you can achieve by paying attention to Twitter not only when you need traffic. One of the biggest issues with the microblogging platform is namely self-promotion – it seems like everyone’s there for that and nothing else.

The system can’t function that way. There’d really be no point if everyone would be to log-in, tweet their own post and log-out. You also have to see what others have in store!

As a matter of fact you might be surprised by how much new things you can get to discover thanks to Twitter.

Adding your favorite bloggers to lists and taking five minutes to check some of their shares every day might turn out a doorway to new discussions with new people, new content for your to-read list, new blog post ideas and more traffic.

That’s how Twitter marketing should be done!

7. Don’t Waste too Much Time on It

There’s no doubt – engaging with others is a crucial component to every successful social media campaign. However one counter-intuitive advice from me is don’t get carried away.

Discussions are a great thing, as they lead to new ideas. Saying thank you to those who’ve supported you is also important, since it helps you build trust. In the end of the day however, that is not the key to success.

Social media is just how you spread the word.

I would recommend you to set a schedule of some sort.

It’s simple the more time you spend on this, the less productive you actually are.

8. Care About Both Quality and Quantity

Quality over quantity – that seems to be a trend nowadays. Indeed one should focus on quality. Having inactive followers, who don’t even share your interests is worthless – there’s no denying.

But then again, why not keep the quality and ramp up the quantity factor simultaneously?

Namely because, as I mentioned above, people rarely take the time to check others’ work, tweets don’t get much exposure. It’s logical that the more followers you have, the more people will end up seeing your tweets and acting upon them.

So let me tell you one thing – start working on your following! As of now I have over 35,000 followers and Twitter traffic is going up with each and every new follower I get.

Final Words

That’s all, folks!

What are your social media dos and don’ts?

What are some common misconceptions about the social networks in your opinion?

Please let me know by leaving a comment, thanks!

Deck builder, had a customer wait till 95% of work was done then request to back out, doesnt want to pay

had a job under contract to stain a deck for 1160.00, 580 due at signing 580 when complete. the deck was started on ( after customer delayed us for 3 days because she wouldnt pick a color). So id say 95% of the work was complete, just some very small touch ups needed for it to be finished. maybe 45 minutes of work remained after 3 full days of work done.

i text the customer saying that the work was almost complete, she replied to me saying oh no its not complete until i am completely satisfied, at which point i assured here we would take care of ANYTHING she had a problem with, that we wanted her to love the final product. she says there are spots all over that needed sanding, and that it possibly needed re stripped and completely re stained! she said that her lattice was hung upside down when we put it back up ( the lattice was perfectly square pieces, if you flip them the other way they literally look exactly the same!?!?). she said the color is not the color she picked. she had decided to go with the same color that she had but in solid color rather than transparent so we had the supplier laser color match them. ill point out she was home 2 of the 3 days and saw us staining with that color, never mentioned anything about not liking the color or not being the correct one, even offered us water. at this point i began to feel it was a scam, or that she just wanted to get out of paying the remaining balance, however i just continued to say im sorry that you are unhappy, we will do everything to correct the things your not happy with and fulfill the contract.

so after repeating at least ten times that we would take care of it for her, she continued to argue, i then move to saying well the work is not all the way complete yet, we will fix the issues and i intend on fulfilling the contract and when it is complete i am sure she will love it . she just keeps on, starts to say even more things are wrong which i know for a fact are not! at this point she is becoming really aggressive, and starts to say she should get a full refund ( aha! suspicions of scam confirmed).

now at this point i am tired of her aggressiveness, constant arguing after assurances we will take care of everything. this is all over text and she starts to make demands that i come meet her in person. i decline, she asked to meet before the work began and i showed up and waited for an hour and she never came home. the previous year she had us do an estimate and schedule her, then stopped responding when it was time to do the paper work, so a pattern of being stood up has been going on. i ask if she will think things over and talk with her husband, decide what she would like to do. i can fullfill the scope of work covered in the contract or i can put in a change order to halt work and we'll just call it even (im tired of dealing with her at this point). shes says yes halt the work. then i think to myself, i dont want to halt the work and put in a change order 95% is already complete so she owes us around 500 bucks. i explicitly say; ok just double checking, you would like us to halt work and not complete the legally binding contract, she replies "yes that is correct".

so my question is do you think this is an easily won small claims case? ive had someone do something similar years ago and i just took the loss, i did not want them running around saying bad things about the company ( we have 100% positive feedback and reviews on facebook and google). to be honest im tired of these few rich people thinking they can treat people any way they want, we are a very small business, i try to employ people that are in recovery from drug addicition (only clean ones) or have felonies on their record so they have somewhere to work that doesn't judge them. we work hard, we work under the sun in extreme heat but most importantly we do a good job and do not stop until the customer is satisfied. i would like to take her to small claims, maybe put a lein on here home.

if this is a good case what should i seek for damages? i was thinking 551.00 (95% of the 580) but now im beginning to think maybe i should add on some money for the 3 days she delayed us because she wouldnt tell us a color to use, we could have been working else where but i dont like to have 2 contracts running at the same time in case issues come up with one.

thanks for reading all this and for any help you may offer!

I AM LICENSED INSURED AND EVERYTHING IS LEGITIMATE AND BY THE BOOK

TDLR

customer waited till 95% percent of work was done, made a bunch of false claims of issues and problems with the work, then asked to back out and for the contract to not be complete. good small claims case? what should i seek in damages, she owed 580 if completed, but delayed us 3 days, because she wouldnt tell us a color.

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

As a bonus, each chat a top comment will be picked and featured in the archives and on an ad for CTP! All that being said, let’s get started and have a great discussion!

QUESTION 1. What is your favorite scene in the comic so far and why?

snuffysam

It's really hard to pick, but I'd say the Hyejung-focused parts (chapters 5 & 6) were my favorites. Focusing on her studies, not knowing what she wants to be, tearing out her roots to move to Japan, getting homesick and feeling guilty for it.

Superjustingo of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨

Hello!

snuffysam

like, emotions and stuff

also hello justin!

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

hey~!

yeah heyjung's backstory is a lot more tense than i was expecting. but i loved how everything was visually framed

although my favorite moment had to be when she went to that counselor and she just flat out couldnt say what she wanted to do with her life

cause man have i been there and that moment so purely relateable

snuffysam

yeah that was a big turning point, and my favorite moment in her backstory

Superjustingo of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨

Thanks for the greeting~

I have to run a quick errand but I'll be back!

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

i also loved the aftermath though of all the others bringing her stuff for her hangover. like that was just sweet and heartwarming.

snuffysam

sweet and heartwarming seems to be the general theme

for example, the scene where tina brings nao a soda

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

yes. also a great scene. but also that scene made me like tina a whole lot. it had that element of goofiness (since she just picked her favorite) but had that immense kind-hearted underbelly. because i mean really, i dont know anyone who would bring me a soda to congratulate me on my first day of school.

i think my personal fave scene is actually when nao and masaki are walking together and each just having these thoughts about how they should interact and the various scenarios. especially nao imagining the music would bond them as friends while masaki is like "oh no i will be looked down upon for liking lady gaga."

snuffysam

and then they both end up too afraid to talk to each other lol

relatable scene, and i love how it helps build the characters of nao and masaki

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

yes. i also love that it shows a good side to masaki in that hes basically just an average, socially awkward dork who is probably having some language and cultural gap problems. since ya know, our first impression of him was just rudeness otherwise.

i want to say in general i really love this comic's pacing though. like i always feel like the emotions are given time to be showcased but dont drag on too overly much.

snuffysam

the pacing is a real strong suit of the comic, agreed

were we ever told what masaki and shinichi's nationality/native language was?

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

no albeit i assume for shinichi its japanese since he doesnt seem able to really do english and speaks quickly. which generally if youre a native, the quicker you speak. at the very least theyve gotta be fluent.

snuffysam

wait, i guess they aren't international students, because the comic description only says there are three

so they're just two japanese brothers who happen to live in the same house as three international students

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

yeah. for reasons O_O. although i am curious if anyone else lives there. cause nao asks tina who the curly haired guy was and tina was like "hmm maybe masaki" and then nao had to say rude for tina to be sure

so either this is just a writing goof or its implied more ppl live there?

snuffysam

yeah you'd think if it was only the five of them, "curly haired boy" would narrow it down quite a bit

also i think we ignored @Sa💅

hello Sa!

not really a scene per se, but i really like the way the comic scratches out words that aren't understood

like this page: https://tapas.io/episode/756155

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

ah i just thought it was a reply to the hellos. welcome @Sa💅 if you felt ignored O_O;;;

of all the things that is my fave part

cause i was skeptical on the language thing when i read the description

but man do i think it actually captures the language gap well

since it is what happens

you know lots of words but then theres always those difficult ones where youre like "omg wtf was that"

snuffysam

hamini really delivered in terms of showing how second languages work

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

i also selfishly enjoyed that nao and i are decently close in japanese language understanding cause i wound up reading a lot of the japanese she could understand.

but then kanji

always kanji everywhere all the time

snuffysam

i took a semester of japanese four years ago and flunked lol. i can get through "はい " and that's about it.

i'm a bit better with spoken, but not much

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

hey its something.

this reminds me, i really liked that scene where tina applied language knowledge to figure out vacuum

snuffysam

that was a really cool moment!

as were the rest of the parts where tina had to figure out the instructions given to her

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

yes. like man do i give tina all around props for that. i would have left crying cause new jobs are stressful enough without adding a language deficiency to the mix

QUESTION 2. Of those staying in Himawari Share, Shinichi and Masaki are the two we know least about in the current story. Do you think there’s any particular reason the two are staying at Himawari Share, or does it just happen to have a convenient location for them? Like the other characters, do you think they have personal histories or pasts that will come to light? Do you think that it is significant in some way that Shinichi and Masaki are mentioned to be brothers? As time goes on, do you think the others will bond with Masaki, or will the language and culture gap keep interfering? What about Shinichi? Will Nao, at least, become able to understand him better, or will his fast talking still prove too much?

i want to go out on a limb and just say theyre there cause convenient location. but i do think they got some sort of hidden past history. cause at the very least shinichi and masaki dont really look like theyre related. so it makes me wonder if this is maybe a half-sibling relationship going on

snuffysam

oh theory time?

i think they are actually brothers, they just happened to look different. that's how it goes somethimes

i think himawari share is a convenient location for them, but i have no idea what it would be convenient too. like, what are their jobs?

also, my guess - nao is going to start understanding what shinichi is saying, but at first it'll only be, like, she catches every other word.

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

yeah im confused at what the share is. cause the girls make it look like its like a special house dorm house for international students who are coming to work and learn in japan. but shinichi and masaki definitely dont appear to be international, so what are they doing there? now its possible they are also going to college in some fashion. but im not entirely sure since it still seems weird to have potentially two natives with three international students.

but to be fair, maybe they own himawari share

cause shinichi and masaki are def both first name

snuffysam

yeah maybe that's just their family home that they rent out

perhaps there are plenty of other people there, and the girls just don't hang out with them because they don't relate as much

international students sticking together and stuff

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

yeah that could also be. although the house seems in a residential area so there cant be too many

alternatively

theres only one other dude living there and hes a shut in that you see once in a blue moon

and theres gonna be some other festival and suddenly hell come out and nao will be le gasp

snuffysam

that sounds about right, yeah

and it would explain tina not knowing who nao was talking about

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

alternatively alternatively, it is just the 5 of them and tina just happens to know a lot of people who look like masaki and forgets who even lives with her

snuffysam

maybe masaki doesn't live there, he just really likes the bathroom

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

masaki lives never door but his bathroom broke and hes too lazy to fix it. comes over to his brother's place all the time.

i really hope we get to see more of shinichi cause of all the characters he seems the most one note atm. and idk what to make of him. although i do like that hes kind of like their tour guide who take sthem to festivals

snuffysam

i think it's just that the comic isn't particularly long yet and shinichi isn't one of the main characters

the description says romance is in the cards, but it doesn't say between whom

that may be where shinichi gets some development

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

it could be. and to be fair, shinichi's mystery kind of suits the fact that theres the language gap cause he clearly doesnt know english well or at all. so its hard to get to know someone well when theres only so many words shared between

like how that convo between nao and hyejung was really formal and stifled before they realized they both spoke english

snuffysam

well, hopefully shinichi is more open to talking about his interests than his brother

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

yeah. although backing up the train for a moment, id like to know why both brothers seemingly dont seem to know any english. cause english is generally required learning in japan and while a lot of ppl arent good at it, theyed probably at least know a few basic phrases. so it strikes me as interesting neither has attempted that much. tho tbf has masaki even said anything?

snuffysam

i think masaki corrected the neighbor lady about his name

but that's it

we don't know if they can speak english or not, i think

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

yeah i mean they could. but i could also see them choosing not to since the girls are all there to kind of learn japanese

snuffysam

oh no wait, there is a page where it's shown shinichi doesn't understand english

https://tapas.io/episode/839877

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

QUESTION 3. One of the comic’s themes revolves around finding yourself, and this issue has given many characters quite the obstacle. In the case of Nao, do you think she will come to terms with that missing part of herself by being in Japan, or will there forever be a gap no matter how much time she spends there? As Nao spends more time there, do you think she’ll feel the culture gap grow or shrink, and how might that affect her? In the case of Hyejung, do you think she’ll figure out what she wants to do with her life, or do you think that still might remain elusive? Additionally, do you think she’ll be able to reconcile with her family? Lastly, in the case of Tina, do you think her part time job will work out, or will the language gap make things too much of a struggle? If she does lose her job, what do you think she’ll do and how might this affect her reasons for being in Japan?

snuffysam

do we know why tina is in japan?

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

i dont think so. and if you dont think so, im gonna feel safe in saying we havent been told

although tina seems like the type to just like adventures

although whereas nao and hyejung give me the impression that they might someday go back to their home countries, tina gives me the impression that this is a permanent thing

at least compared to hyejung, tina seems to care the least about reliving her own culture persay

snuffysam

i think it's not going to turn out how any of the girls' plan. maybe hyuejung finds her purpose is back in korea, maybe it's in japan, etc.

nao is here to reconnect to the missing part of herself and re-learn japanese. while she may end up learning japanese, i don't think reconnecting with her past will happen so much.

she'll see a large culture gap, or get distracted with something else

Superjustingo of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨

I'm back!

snuffysam

hi justin!

Superjustingo of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨

Hey Snuffy!

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

wb!

Superjustingo of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨

Thanks!

Ooh, a Japanese festival?!

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

there was one in the comic, yes already, yes.

tbh i do think hyejung isnt going to find exactly what she wants. because i feel her desire to go to japan was driven more by a desire to escape her reality versus thinking "yes this is the place where i can find myself"

and shes the one who seems most homesick as well

not ot say i think the journey will be in vain

and i think shell at least learn things about herself

like how to live independently for herself

away from the parents

in nao's case, i think shell...come to terms that she cant have a different past. im actually thinking whats going to happen is shes going to run into something that makes her go "whoa wait america was way better in this aspect" and then shell realize that if she had stayed in japan, she also wouldnt know the american culture she grew up in.

Superjustingo of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨

Perhaps

snuffysam

at some point nao likened it to having a twin that was separated from her at birth. and i think her journey will involve coming to terms with the fact that she can't recover that lost twin. she's gone forever.

lots of great metaphors in this comic btw

Superjustingo of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨

I thought Nao was from Korea.

snuffysam

no you're thinking of hyejung

nao is the one who was born in japan but grew up in america

Superjustingo of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨

Oh right, my bad I saw this page and I thought wrong because of it https://tapas.io/episode/1021922

snuffysam

yeah that chapter follows hyejung

Superjustingo of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨

aye, thanks

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

yeah i do think thats the case with nao. shes going to have to realize that she cant have two pasts or that other half. but i do think being in japan will be both good and bad for it. cause on the plus side, she gets to see what she missed out on, but on the otherhand shes also going to feel the sting of that gap cause im sure shes gonna run into a festival where shes plain just like "i dont understand this"

although assuming her mom is still alive(?) then itll be interesting if she can talk to her mom in japanese again or something

Superjustingo of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨

Yeah.

You know, reading this comic made me remember how much I thought it'd be cool to visit Japan back in high school and planned to go there as a graduation present. How wrong I was.

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

this comic gives me the should go to japan itch again. especially to eat the food

which im glad food is involved a lot

Superjustingo of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨

Mmm

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

cause thats a huge facet of the culture

Superjustingo of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨

I wish I loved Japanese food.

more than I do now

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

on a side note

i loved that little moment where hyejung bitched that the kimchi wasnt even spicy

and how it was made by a japanese run restaurant

cause i liked that detail that just how america amercanizes certain foods, other countries do the same

or at least japan does for sure XD

their mcdonalds are crazy

Superjustingo of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨

lol yeah

This hit home for me, in a way

like it's not "authentic"

snuffysam

I’ve had Korean food in a restaurant owned by Korean people. And yeah, it’s a lot spicier

I don’t blame Hyejung lol

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

nah i dont blame her either. cause regardless if you grow up used to one flavor, you probably arent gonna be a fan of change

QUESTION 4. Given the focus of the comic is on international students and cultural gaps, to a degree, there are lots of interesting potential scenarios. Did you find the comic’s unique method of showcasing language gaps interesting? How did it change how you viewed the characters’ experiences? Are there any cultural experiences that you’re looking forward to seeing the characters experience? If so, why? Do you feel our heroines will continue to be able to wing it, or will they commit some sort of cultural blunder? If the latter, how do you expect that to play out and emotionally affect the culprit? On a more character oriented level, what other struggles do you think the characters might have in their everyday, personal lives? Do you think everyone will continue to get along, or might tension in Himawari Share grow for some reason? Lastly, do you think romance might be in bloom with any characters?

Superjustingo of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨

It's certainly very interesting and it shows up the potential troubles of going out into a whole new world

snuffysam

Everyone gets along so well, I just know someone’s going to mess up

Call me a pessimist lol

Superjustingo of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨

lol

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

snuffy, youre a pessimist

but no i agree

they have been getting along real well

and at some point theyre going to fight

cause at the very least living together isnt easy

cause everyone has different habits

and call me biased, but pretty sure if its a living together thing tina is gonna be the cause of it just cause she has the most unreserved personality

Superjustingo of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨

Yeah.

Eventually all that rage and stress will just need to be all let out.

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

one thing i didnt mention about the language thing was that i was glad to see there was a difference between nao and tina. cause tina clearly has a better grasp and that shows, both in how much she understands and how she has learned to learn via context clues.

snuffysam

yeah there's a clear difference between everyone's skill level

even just the "yeah it took me a while to get used to shinichi talking" is an example of that

Superjustingo of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨

It's great seeing everyone talking in all the different languages(edited)

Especially since it's not easy to do Japanese and Korean in comics unless you're overly familiar with the language yourself (or have a translator)(edited)

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

yes thats also true with the shinichi talking part. i really felt for nao in that moment.

cause its an easier said than done thing

im gonna ship nao and masaki. thats where im putting my shipping chips

snuffysam

perhaps a source of conflict comes from romance coming about with an odd number of people in the house?

MathTans the super Pun 👑Prince👑

I made it for the last bit. O.o Though you mentioned a lot of the stuff I liked in the first half hour already, I'm noticing. The bit where Tina brought the soda for Nao and the bit where the two characters were having different music conversations in their minds.

Superjustingo of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨

eey Math

MathTans the super Pun 👑Prince👑

I enjoyed those two. The Hyejung at the end, I can see how it's very relatable, and it was emotional, but I guess I just like a bit of funzies in my fave scenes. ^.^(edited)

I'm gonna ship Nao and Tina, because you KNOW me.

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

hi math~! was even just thinking "aww i guess math isnt coming after all."

plz math

Superjustingo of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨

mmm, ships

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

clearly tina and hyejung are the ship

they have more history

MathTans the super Pun 👑Prince👑

That's just it, they haven't fallen in love yet. Chips go on the new relationship.

Also, related to what SJ was saying before, the author must be very good with languages or know many herself... I have zero clue if it's right or not, but it's a pretty gutsy venture.

snuffysam

yeah either the author knows three plus languages, or has some really good friends

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

the japanese is correct from what i can tell. at least the parts i could read.

MathTans the super Pun 👑Prince👑

There's also those little things that can trip one up in translation, like the "Let's Eat" kind of being the Japanese thanks for the food thing. I think the author even pointed it out once, with the part time job, both of them thanking the other for working, not really being an English thing.

Superjustingo of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨

Yeah, I wouldn't ever think to do a foreign language in something of mine unless I rely on a translator.

MathTans the super Pun 👑Prince👑

I didn't totally pick up on the skills of the individual characters either, but since you did, it's cool that it can come across too.

Superjustingo of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨

Yea

MathTans the super Pun 👑Prince👑

I'm bilingual for English and French and even I'm not sure I'd want to do it.

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

what you mean you dont want to do a strip where all the tans start speaking french? XD

i feel like shinichi would be the one to bring a relationship in from the outside

MathTans the super Pun 👑Prince👑

Not so much, no.

Yeah, we haven't seen much of the guys (which I notice you mentioned earlier)... honestly, I'm okay with that. I like the focus on the women (and not just because I ship that way) as they all have sort of a bond.

snuffysam

shinichi seems a bit more outgoing, so i wouldn't be surprised if he turns out to already be in a relationship

MathTans the super Pun 👑Prince👑

Oh, and the speed-talking thing was well portrayed.

I also want to say it was neat having that character who lives across the street come back in a later scene, when they were going to the post office. Helps make things extra real, incidentals like that.

snuffysam

i liked how she didn't know masaki's name lol

Superjustingo of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨

Lol

snuffysam

he might not get out much

MathTans the super Pun 👑Prince👑

Could be to avoid talking. And just not wanting to talk even to strangers for fear of making a mistake.

Maybe that explains the rudeness too.

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

to be fair, i dont know a single one of my neighbors. and if you dont interact with your neighbors, you dont know their names

MathTans the super Pun 👑Prince👑

If you start with rudeness, people won't talk to you either, and you won't have to interpret. Yeah, I don't know my neighbours either. ^^;;

Superjustingo of ✨Time🕑&Space☄✨

I don't even have any neghibors

MathTans the super Pun 👑Prince👑

Final thought, super impressed by the translation stuff. Including the blurring of just some words, which was also pointed out earlier. I don't think I've seen anything like that.

Also, Nao + Tina.

✨🐱 RebelVampire 🐱✨

How to obtain depreciation from insurance company?

I had a roof claim at the end of the year for $45K. Ultimately the roof failed and damaged the interior of the home as well. The insurance company sent an initial check for $38K, and there is $7K in depreciation as a hold back. Once the work was completed I sent the insurance company a final invoice from the contractor for $44K. The invoice listed all of the work done and a grand total. The adjust is asking for line item detail around the charges. My contractor is telling me this is a ridiculous request and won't provide. So now I am sitting here with an adjuster who won't budge on their stance and a contractor who won't help. Are there any hard and fast rules on how to obtain the depreciation funds. In the couple of claims prior to this over the years, all I had to turn in was a generic invoice. I am at a loss and need to get those funds to close this deal out. I have full replacement value.""

Car Insurance not Paying (in Georgia)?

I was in an accident three weeks ago. It was the other car's fault. There were no injuries. We didn't call the police, but I got a written statement from the other driver admitting fault. I got her car and insurance information and filed a claim with her insurance. They sent an appraiser and I got an estimate for the damages. So all that is left now is for the insurance to approve the estimate and send me a check. I have called the insurance company almost everyday since I got the appraisal (about 2 weeks ago) and they are saying that they are waiting to get in touch with the policy holder; apparently they don't have her correct phone number. But they have the signed statement from her admitting fault. The agent in charge of my claim doesn't even pick up the phone or return my calls, I just talk to the operator who can't really give me any answers. I have the basic car insurance, I don't have collision coverage, so I haven't even called my own insurance. My car is operational but my rear susspension is gone, and the bent metal is hitting my tire; I really need my car rapaired asap. Should I call a lawyer even though there were no injuries? I should probably add that my car is not worth much, but I still need it fixed! and I can't afford (don't want either) to pay for repairs out of my pocket. What should I do?

Is additional insurance for teens required in California? (please read further)?

Does a teen driver in California need to be put on their parents' insurance policy even though they're already covered?

Why would an insurance company deny me coverage for not having central air and heating?

We wanted to switch from the local company we had been insuring our house with because their correspondance has always been very rude and they are very difficult to deal with to USAA who we do all of our banking, brokerage, car & boat insurance through and are very courteous and extremely easy to deal with. We were denied coverage because our home does not have central air or heating. We live in South Central Florida so a heating system would be an absolute waste of money (the wall unit in the Great Room and a space heater in the bedroom are more than sufficient to make the house hospitable in the few welcome days of winter cold enough to warrant their use). My wife and I both cannot stand Air Conditioning and would never use Central A/C other than the one or two times a year we would normally turn on our wall unit when it is too hot to bear and the windows and doors cannot be left open. Houses have existed for Milleniums prior to the invention of Central Climate Control and I am sure home insurance existed atleast a few decades before the invention of air conditioning. Why would not having central climate control be a disqualifying factor in getting home insurance coverage? I highly doubt that not having A/C or heat is going to make our house any more likely to be damaged or destroyed in a hurricane, robbed or flooded. Opening the windows and doors instead of having a HVAC system consistantly running in our house makes us less suseptable to fire.""

1.3 KA 2002, immobiliser, no tracker fitted yet (intend on). Not bought the car. 17-year-old as the main driver and owner, passed a month ago (roughly). I know it's obvious, but KAs are the easiest cars to buy, the car is valued at 995 (the one in mind). I can literally find 5000 quotes. The car is worth less than one fifth of this. And yes, I know that car insurance will be expensive, but reading over forums etc, some people have managed to get it down to 2000. I've tried Diamond, elephant, comparethemarket, gocompare, literally everywhere. Admiral won't give me a quote and places like Tesco will only quote 18-year-olds. I will literally LOVE anyone who knows of any quotes around 2000-3000. Any less, I believe is impossible. And I realise that insurance companies take the Michael, but please don't state the obvious with a comment like Insurance will be expensive - 5000 is about right , surely it can't be, I've found so many forums of people saying they have quotes from 2000, but not telling me where from. ):""

Does a paid speeding ticket affect auto insurance rates or anything?

My Insurance auto accident settlement?

I was recently in a car accident where a Nissan truck ran into the back of another car that then ran into the back of me causing $2000 worth of damage to the rear of my infiniti. I received moderate whiplash to my neck and had to be taken to the hospital. I checked out without any broken bones and was prescribed medication. I went to see a chiropractor and he has been working on my neck for a couple days which makes it feel a better. Im 100% not at fault and the insurance company has taken care of my car repair, rental, and medical bills. They ask me How much do I think I want for this accident for pain and suffering. I believe I am entitled to at least $3500-5000 for my suffering I live in NC. I believe $5000 is a reasonable consider the circumstances. I could have lost my life, broke my neck and been paralyzed for life. Thank the lord that I received only a whiplash. The stress that I am undergoing, the constant pain in my neck is a reminder of the accident, which I feel fearful of driving. The time I spent recovering could have been spent enjoying my life. Besides getting behind in my school work, I am absent from my student organization at school which I am a key figure ( president AGC). I don't enjoy waking up with cramps and headaches nor do I like to take prescription pills, and therapy. I don't want to be compensation a insufficient amount that wont even cover pain and suffering I went though. It seems like you people are on the side of the insurance company and not the victims in this situation. I wonder if any of you have ever been in an automobile accident and if you have must share some sort of empathy of what I am reiterating.""

Auto Insurance In California : how far goes the liability?

I am french and don't know anything about auto insurance in the US. I just received my driver license 2 months ago and a very old bettle (1973, value < 1500$) as first car. I never drive before (even in France), I have a clean record. How work the liability here? Let's say it's not my fault but I crash in a schoolbus and 3 childrens will need medical treatment for the rest of their life because of me. Who will pay for it? And what if it's my fault? [ In France, we have something called civil responsability that will pay for that. It's automatically included in every car insurance. ] I am also browsing the net for cheap but good insurance. I want it cheap because the car is worth nothing. But I want it good because i am a young (no experience) driver. Any tips and links to some websites are welcome. Thank you very much.""

Affordable Health insurance for nannys...anyone know of any?

My wife recently switched jobs from a day care where she had health insurance to being a personal nanny for a family with 3 children. We were going to switch her to my health insurance, as my work only has me pay 15% of the cost. I thought this would be the same if I added my wife but we would have to pay full price for her costs (and while the insurance here is great, it is a Cadillac insurance, and is VERY expensive). My question is does anyone know of affordable insurance options for nannys?""

Thinking about changing to TD for auto insurance?

My current auto insurance company is charging me around $380.00 per month for insurance TD quoted me for $230.00 per month. I have only been with my current insurance company for 4 months now is it worth changing? here is TDs rules for cancelling. I personally think it is worth the change would TD still take me if i cancel early into my policy i haven't missed a payment and this would be the first time i cancelled a policy. Do there rules apply for me Cancelling???? or am i alright for changing? also i paid first and last do they take my last month as a cancellation fee? anyways let me know thanks TD Canada Trust rules for cancelling If an insurance company has cancelled/refused your policy for whatever reason (e.g., non-disclosure of tickets, non-payment), we are unable to provide you with an online quote.

Who will be responsible for my dad's car wreck/Will my insurance premium go up?

I let my mom borrow my car to get to work for about 6 months. I knew she had it, I never insured it and neither did she.

He has never worked and my mom just recently started a job-I have had to work for everything in my life and I'm frustrated with always being taken advantage of. My dad was taken away from the scene in an ambulance, the owner's of the property he hit never received his name or contact info. Since the car is registered to me, am I liable?

Should i go through the whole car insurance thing?

Hey guys, so someone rear ended me this morning and im debating whether or not to file the claim through the other person's insurance company since im pretty sure it would be his fault. But i'm debating whether or not i should even bother becuase the damage is very minimal ( theres only a small imprint of the rectangle from the guys license plate.) But i got in a car accident about 8 months ago which ended up being my fault. so since the damage is minimal to my bumper, i'm not sure its worth the hassle and the possibility of my rates going up, even though not my fault. should i just let it go? or file a claims through the other persons insurance, and if i do, do i have to call up my own insurance company as well? or by filing the claim through the other company, they'll take care of it? thanks for all the input.""

Switching insurance companies to get the car fixed?

The accident was not at my fault. Had a police report. Contacted both insurance companies. Got a rental car and check ($1500) from other party's insurance company (NJ Skylands) as decided to go through them. Brought the car to body shop and found out NJ Skylands wants to cheat and pay less. So I called my insurance company (State Farm) and reopened the claim to go through them. State Farm took deductible and issued a check for $1788. Body shop wants to get $2788 for repair. Can I still use that check for $1500 to cover the rest of expanses?
