for iou heeseung

have u ever jerk off to the thought of y/n?? since u seemed to be very much into here for some time

Heeseung glanced up at the ceiling with a smirk threatening to pull at his lips. He was slightly taken aback at the bold question.

“Hm. You’d like to know, wouldn’t you?”

He’d lost count of the amount of times over the years but it seemed to have fluctuated after a certain Zoom incident. Although the occurrences were much more frequent back when he was still in college… who was he kidding?

He looked off to the side, “She’d die of embarrassment if I ever admitted that out loud to someone.”

[heartandfangs]

Question for sunghoon huehue: what do you think of y/n? Would you ever date her ^.^

Sunghoon leaned back against the leather booth. “I don’t exactly date. Apparently, I’m not the only one in the market, but I get it.”

Jay and Jake didn’t hesitate to inform him so on multiple occasions, not that obstacles ever really stopped him from getting what he wanted in the end.

“She’s sexy, but doesn’t even realize it. It’s cute. She seems a bit different from what I’m used to but teaching someone the ropes can be fun. Even if someone already beat me to it…”

Sunghoon narrowed his eyes across the room at Heeseung, who didn’t hesitate to glare back.

“… I don’t mind sloppy seconds.”

“Watch it.”

Sunghoon chuckled, “What a scary guard dog. I guess Jake’s a puppy in comparison to that guy.”

Hi Genie! That’s nice to hear you’ve enjoyed my stories since then, time really flies esp since my first and most recent update of IOU 😭 🖤

Between us and others who are following the story, I do imagine a hard earned happy ending for Jake and MC, but Hee’s got me stressed in the fic 😩 irl too tho

Hee’s just such a bold character in that fic, and Jake is irresistible too despite having a chip on his shoulder 🥺Pics came out of of them in past year and these one’s in particular pretty much look exactly how I envisioned them in IOU, with Jake still being in Uni and Hee a dance instructor (screamed when I first saw hee’s bc that’s! Him!!!)

I’m stoked you enjoyed NIIY too!! 🥹 I was def inspired by Hee’s duality and nerd fics that came before mine but I wanted a little twist on the stereotypical archetype. It was my fave to write this far and it will always have a special place in my heart. Appreciate you for dropping by! ✨✨

[heartandfangs]

Omg P! You didn't have to follow me back 😭😭😭 my heart dropped seeing the follow back becsuse i was like, here i am being a reader ✋🏻 hshjdjdjjff you're so kind!

Omg NIIY is so good. Like it's just so simple and cute and I can reread it and be like 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹 all giggly and stuff shshjdjdjjdjd

Not at all I’m like constantly trying to find more Enha writers to follow and check out! 😚 Btw the pink Nicholas layout is really cute, it's just nice to casually see the werewolf boys on my feed too. I peeped his timestamp and it was very sweet 🥲 I'd make a beeline the opposite way if I ever saw uni Jake on campus too and same for leather jacket heeseung, he can't look any more intimidating than that 🥵 Thanks for loving on my iou and niiy boys!!! 🥲🥲💗

[heartandfangs]

Are you still working on IOU???? Love all of your fics btw!!!💖

Thank you so much!!! 🖤 Ngl I haven’t worked on it bc it’s a Jake centric AU and Heeseung has had me in a choke hold ever since I posted part 5 🥹 I can’t control it damn it

That’s not to say I won’t finish IOU, but I tend to write what I’m interested in in the moment and that always results in my best work for ppl to enjoy. I’ll come back to it in the future, I just really enjoy writing for hee rn.

If I continue it rn, hee might somehow end up as end game when he’s not supposed to LOL I want to stay true to the story I hope you all understand.

YOU WISH.

GENRE Roommates AU, Playboy!Jake, Virgin!Reader, Suggestive, A bit of fluff

PAIRING f!Reader x Jake/Jaeyun

WARNINGS 18+ ONLY, Cursing, Flirting, Slow-burn, Morally-grey characters, Sexual tension, Fantasizing, Brief mention of a past blowjob, Teasing, Sub!Jake’s dirty thoughts + Praise kink exposed yet again, MC gets a little physical and aggressive (nothing crazy, promise), University/Adulthood woes, One too many puppy references

WORD COUNT 3.3k

SUMMARY One thing led to another, then suddenly a puppy was following you around in the library during finals week–  it turns out his name is Jake Sim, a flirtatious underclassman who quite possibly could be the quickest answer to your desperate prayers. But there was only one thing to do when he started getting in the way of your study time; let him know that this was your territory.

AUTHOR’S NOTE I wrote this before all the installments of IOU but forgot about it until recently lol. This could be a standalone fic, but it's essentially IOU– Part Zero. I revised it because I think it adds a layer to the story and how MC got into this debacle as Jake’s roommate in the first place. It's fun and offers more telling insight into their first impressions of each other.

I’m in the midst of writing Part 5 and it’s going to be a pretty long chapter so I hope you look forward to reading it soon! I will say Heeseung is in the spotlight a bit more while Jake is down in the dumps for this upcoming chapter and the man has absolutely no chill. So, get your dose of Jekjek here while you can!

As always, like/reblog this fic and leave me some feedback if you enjoyed it and want more. Reading your wild and sweet comments is honestly my favorite part next to writing. 🤍⚰️

A text notification sounded from your pocket– it was from your potential roommate and little did you know how dreadful it would be to read.

'___, I'm so sorry, but my plans have changed, as I'm taking a job offer out of town. I can't move in with you anymore. So sorry for the insanely late heads up, but I do wish you the best of luck– and belated congratulations on graduating!'

"Shit, shit– shit!"

Unable to even think about where you'd be living after graduation with finals on your mind, you pocketed your phone and ran an aggravated hand through your hair. Nothing irked you more than when people went back on their word, especially last minute; this was not helping your rising stress levels.

Jesus, feel free to take the wheel any moment now–

The library elevator doors binged on a floor that wasn't your stop; you exhaled heavily, tapping your foot impatiently.

Your bloodshot eyes darted to the boy revealed behind the elevator doors. Immediately you noticed his figure– he was several inches taller than you, lean, and had dark brown hair. Handsome. The student was dressed in a plaid shirt over a casual tee paired with denim jeans and sneakers. He probably belonged to a fraternity, but that was just a stereotypical guess.

You locked eyes with him for a split second and noticed his brows raise in interest ever so slightly, causing you to hastily shift your gaze elsewhere. You settled on staring at the button that lit up to indicate your destination was the top floor.

You noticed him stand up a little straighter out of the corner of your eye as he faced the closing steel doors. The young man's cologne suddenly filled the enclosed space, triggering your keen senses. To your delight, he smelled of warm amber and subtle lavender. Pleasant yet unexpected.

The student made no move to choose a different floor, and you pretended not to notice. He cleared his throat suddenly, earning a confused look from you. 

"Here to study?" The boy smiled at you, and you didn't miss the lilt in his voice, his Australian accent nearly throwing you off. 

"Yeah, like everybody else," You replied indifferently. 

His smile left as quickly as he gave it; he glanced down at his shoes. Your curt answer seemingly deterred him from continuing the conversation with you.

Shoot. Well, you couldn't help it.

Finals week had you tense and single-minded at the moment. Pleasantries and small talk weren't your forte in the first place.

Honestly, you just hoped that you'd come across an available seat for you to hunker down in and get shit done. However, the ride up the elevator was slower than usual, and you couldn't shake off the bit of guilt in your chest. 

The elevator opened to the top level of the library, and the boy allowed you to step out first. The two of you parted ways in search of a cubicle.

It was clear that after you made several rounds circling the floor like a hawk, every seat on the floor was taken. 

The highest floor of the library was the most ideal study spot as it was the one with the best thermostat setting, the best wifi, and the quietest environment. It was your go-to spot all semester long, and you were annoyed that the entirety of the student body suddenly piled in during finals week.

Where was everyone else while you spent time between class periods and evenings sifting through the aisles of books and hogging a study room all to yourself? It was hardly fair, but you accepted your defeat.

After a hot minute, you were back where you started, leaning against the wall in the lobby facing the set of elevators. What a nightmarish process– you'd have to try your luck on another floor.

Apparently, someone else had met the same fate as you.

You watched the student who rode the elevator with you shuffle back into the lobby, looking as hopeless as you felt. However, his expression brightened considerably upon noticing you staring at him.

Ah, shit.

You shifted your weight into your other leg as he made a beeline your way. 

"No luck staking down a spot either?" He asked from a polite distance with his hands slipped into his pockets.

Despite that, his warm scent enveloped you again, and you inhaled slightly, trying not to be obvious. You suddenly wondered if you smelled weird— did you smell weird? 

"No," you tried to inject a little more emotion into your voice, even if you just sounded disappointed, "Everything was taken, unfortunately."

"Wanna try the third floor with me? It's one of the less popular floors, but it usually has a decent amount of tables and cubicles," He asked, catching you off guard.

"Um…"

Would he end up trying to chat with you the entire time if you two did manage to find a spot to study? You supposed you were willing to take your chances to find a place asap.

After all, your photography final was in three hours, and you didn't have any more time to waste since you had put off studying for the elective in favor of your core classes.

Momentarily you regarded the boy who gave you a hopeful look, in the exact way a puppy might when they want to tag along on an errand run.

Such creatures were your ultimate weakness, right next to any offer that involved ‘food’ or ‘free’. 

"...Sure," You agreed with a sigh. 

"Alright! Let's go." You noted his eyes shone when he smiled.

Hoping you'd find better luck on the third floor, once you exited the elevators, you led the way, weaving between the aisles of books to check for open cubicles near the walls.

The boy you'd just met was in close tow behind you; not close enough to touch, obviously, but a lot closer than you'd expect someone to be when you hardly knew each other.

Maybe he just felt more comfortable around you after you agreed to join forces under the name of studying.

Upon emerging from an aisle of shelves, your eyes zoned in on a single free cubicle and chair in the corner of the room.

A wish come true!

Slowly, you glanced back at Jake to gauge his reaction. His mouth formed a silent "ah" before stopping in his tracks. Other students were in the vicinity, their noses buried in textbooks and laptops, a terrible tension suffocating the air.

"You can take it," you quickly whispered, surprised at your sudden generosity.

He merely smirked back and motioned you ahead with his hand, "Go ahead, you saw it first."

You tried to hide your amusement and insisted he take it, wanting to make up for your lack of friendliness during your first interaction in the elevator. If you two found a spot this quickly, there might be a chance you'd find another just as soon, right?

While you waited for his response, he merely looked around at his surroundings, seemingly contemplative, until his gaze settled back on you.

"Shall we keep looking?" He boldly suggested.

This time your brows raised in surprise, lips parting as a response was slow to form in your mind.

Jake's dark eyes bore into you, rooting you to your spot while all you heard was clicking keyboards and the shuffling of papers. The implication of his suggestion dawned on you. 

Did you want to continue to keep each other company? 

You really hadn't experienced much social interaction with that many people this semester, except with the friendly Dance major you'd settle in next to during your photography class. Which, by the way, was coming up hot on your schedule. 

Now really wasn't the time, and yet...

"Okay," You said, sealing your fate.

Wait, what?

You were unable to believe your own words.

Jake had watched you all the while and chuckled, extremely pleased at your response. This time, he guided you down the walkway, passing behind the rows of busy students back into the shelf aisles.

"What's your name?"

Jake slowed his pace to walk side-by-side with you, causing you to nearly brush arms to squeeze by the narrow walkways. You realized that you two hadn't exchanged the most basic information yet.

"___," You shared.

He was all smiles as he repeated it as enthusiastically as he could in a library setting, "I'm Jake."

It seemed his voice could be a bit deep at times; it was interesting hearing him whisper your name. 

"Nice to meet you… Jake." You tried his name out, and he nodded. "What's your major?"

"I'm a Business major, minoring in Marketing."

"Oh wow, you must have a lot to study for," You pondered.

"Yeah, a bit. I graduate in a year, so I have to keep it up for a little while longer."

Jake must be finishing up as a Junior then. You didn't expect that with his build, although it's tough to tell someone's age and class year these days with everyone having different paths in life. You wondered if he was an athlete on top of everything else education-wise. 

"I see."

The fact that you were graduating so soon was scary, but you were planning to play it safe for a while and rack up experience at your internship before making any big moves.

"You gotta work hard and play hard, you know?"

Although you imagined you two had different definitions for the latter term, you nodded.

The two of you suddenly came across a set of empty individual cubicles simultaneously, side by side.

"I think those are reserved for us," Jake nudged your arm with his elbow. You glanced up at him and met his friendly eyes once again. 

"Lucky us," You proceeded to take the seat to the left of the other one. 

Jake slung off his backpack onto the other table and leaned over your partition to speak to you. You eyed him in curiosity from your seat as you shimmied your laptop out of your bag. 

Settling his arms on top of the wooden divider of your cubicle, Jake suddenly dropped his half-lidded gaze to your lips, then back up to your wide eyes.

All the while, his grin never disappeared as he watched you freeze in your chair, undeterred.

Did he just—?

"Mind watching my stuff for me for a sec?" 

His voice had gotten lower again too. You nodded dumbly. 

"Thanks," he smiled at you before walking off to the lobby. 

Oh. You knew that look, but you've never really been on the receiving end of one that intense.

It made you feel pinned to the spot like you were being cornered or coerced… into what exactly? Unable to expend energy on what was going on, you decided to stand your ground regardless of what might happen. One couldn't afford to waste any more time in this scenario, so you tried to shrug it off and busy yourself with studying. 

Within a minute, your study station was set up, laptop, notebooks, and all. Facts about appropriate aperture and ISO settings in correlation with various weathers filled your mind as you crammed for your photography final, not without great effort. At some point, Jake returned and settled into his cubicle.

He left you alone, for a good while at least. 

You were pulled out of your deep thoughts upon noticing Jake's chair pull up by your side.

"How goes it?" He whispered.

"Fine… it's a little tedious of final to study for," You admitted. Who knew one would have to study so much content for a class like photography.

"You seem like a smart girl, so I'm sure you'll ace it. Want me to quiz you?"

"I… sure?"

Jake adjusted his chair to face you and leaned back in it, taking your study packet in hand. Letting his legs spread open comfortably, Jake's fingers innocently played with the stitched seam of his jeans along his inner thigh. At the same time, he rattled off some questions, inevitably attracting your attention to his lower half.

Jake watched you shift in your chair as you tried your damnedest to look elsewhere while answering his questions accurately.

In the meantime, Jake slyly took in the details of your appearance over the edge of your worksheets. He appreciated the way those tight black leggings of yours, paired with that little cropped sweater displayed the curves of your body in a way that had him undressing you in his mind, only guessing at what color panties you wore beneath it all.

He shamelessly dragged his eyes over the swell of your chest, the tips of your nipples peeking through the sweater fabric. He was glad that the library A/C was blasting even on the third floor and that you'd chosen to forgo wearing a bra. 

"Hey. Eyes up here, kid," You warned, snapping your fingers. 

Jake licked his lips, quickly meeting your scrutinizing gaze. "Sorry." 

"For some reason, I don't believe that." You moved to pluck your worksheet out of his grasp, but he kept it out of reach. 

"Sorry, I'll do it properly—! "

You lowered your head and shoved him down too. 

"Whisper, dummy!"

The way your fingers threaded through Jake's hair, albeit a bit roughly, sent wonderful sparks down his spine. He rubbed his thighs together, breath shuddering. 

"Sorry, you're just really—"

Suddenly he was being dragged out of his seat into a nearby aisle of books, further away from the students trying to focus on their studies.

You swung Jake around, his back hitting a tall shelf of books with a thump. 

Crossing your arms, you glared up at him. "Jake, stop apologizing and quiz me; I don't have time to waste. Now sit."

Jake slid down the shelf of books until he hit the floor, clutching onto your notes. His wide eyes peered up at you– and you kicked yourself for thinking he looked adorable.

You had your literal finals to study for, and it was his suggestion to help you in the first place.

You slunk down in front of him and crossed your legs, leaning against the opposite shelf. 

"Start from the top."

Jake nodded and obediently quizzed you with more focus and enthusiasm under your watch. He was impressed that you nailed every question, yet far from surprised.

You would check your watch every so often, making Jake realize his time spent with you was limited. He had to act fast. 

Once you answered the last question, you stretched your hands towards the ceiling, satisfied with your performance.

"Nice job, ___. Guaranteed A+ for sure," He stared at you, nibbling on his bottom lip, clearly wanting to please. 

You tilted your head curiously. "So, you can be a good boy."

This guy is kind of like a moody puppy. Kind of like… Stitch?

You held back a snort at the comparison your brain made, but Jake clearly had a similar mischievous side to him if he thought he was being slick while checking you out.

Jake nearly panicked while receiving your praise, trying to refrain from twitching as you ran a hand over his dark fringe to pat his head. The simple gesture felt so nice, somehow even nicer than the blowjob he had just gotten back in the business building earlier that morning. 

Unable to fight the flush of heat rising up his cheeks, he brought his knees closer to his chest; his jeans had grown uncomfortably tight. Why was he getting so worked up by just a few light touches from a girl he'd just met?

…

Who was Jake kidding? He'd been struggling to control his urges since he first laid eyes on you in the elevator.

"You should know, it’s not easy to make me like this," Jake couldn't help but reveal.

"Clearly," You chuckled quietly at his sulky expression, assuming he was referring to his compliant attitude.

Jake's face lit up at your laugh, even if it was at his own expense. His leg stretched out across the carpet to bump against yours, and that drew your attention, your amused smile lingering. 

He took a deep breath, "I'm just going to throw this out there. My lease is up at the end of this semester, and my dorm sucks. I'm looking at this apartment on the outskirts of campus because fuck my dorm RA and everyone else in it. I want a place downtown where all the nightlife is… and I'm also in the market for a roommate."

Your ears perked up. "Really?"

Jake's brows rose in anticipation of your interest. 

"Huh, tell me more—"

"Shhh!" A random student's voice scolded from nearby.

Several heads nearby whipped in your direction, and you ducked your head in apology, not realizing you raised your voice.

Jake giggled and scooted closer to you, lowering his tone of voice to a murmur. He spread his hand flat against the floor near your leg.

"Here's the deal, ___. I'm only expecting my roommate to pay a quarter of rent; I'll be covering the rest."

"Why the hell is that?" You asked, genuinely shocked at the offer.

Jake looped his finger through your shoelace, tugging at it slightly. "…I like to have people over often, so I'm not the quietest roommate, but I'll stay out of your way."

You weren't exactly sure what that meant, but you skipped pressing the matter, still aghast at what his proposition could mean for you. "That's an insane offer, dude. No bullshit?"

"Nope. Do you wanna go down there and look at the place with me Friday evening?"

You nodded, but as he took out his phone to exchange numbers, you grabbed his wrist, startling him. Jake swallowed thickly at your proximity, anticipating your following words.

"You're not trying to lure me out to a weird place to murder me, are you, Jake?"

Jake's throat nearly seized before answering.

Christ, she's a cautious one, isn't she?

"Nah, of course not," He joked, "I'm not diabolical enough to execute a big, sticky ordeal like that. Besides, you don't seem like the sort of person I'd want to cross—"

— Too much, at least.

Secretly, deep down, Jake quite liked how assertive you could get when he acted out. Interacting with you was, by his definition, fun.

You smirked, "Very good answer."

Every inch of his skin that your hand covered was set alight. The moment you pulled back, Jake wished you hadn't let go but instead chose to run your fingers up his arm and through his hair again, praising him for saying the right answer, for being such a good boy. 

He knew you two had just met and that he was insane for thinking this— but why could he imagine countless scenarios involving all the restaurants the two of you could share a meal at, all the late-night movies to catch with you, amongst the limitless ways to make you moan his name in pleasure?

Such weird thoughts to have… except for the latter. 

As you stood up, Jake flexed his tingling hand.

You snatched your worksheet back but offered your free hand to him, "I guess I owe you one."

Maybe you did, but Jake wanted nothing more than to pull you back down on him and take your stress away, however you'd like him to.

Even if it involved you pushing him up against any sort of solid surface again, especially if it meant letting him play with your lovely tits in his mouth while you got yourself off by grinding down on his aching bulge.

He didn't mind that you were a high-strung individual– couldn't even blame you, what with all the stressful energy permeating the entire campus– that just made the thought of breaking you down all the sweeter.

Fuck.

He mentally soothed himself, feeling dizzy.

Calm down, Jaeyun, calm down, calm down…

He was in dire need of developing self-control; it could complicate things. 

"If it ends up working out for your situation, then let's be roommates," Jake replied instead, slipping his hand into yours as you hauled him to his feet with a strength he wouldn't have guessed you had.

Stars tinged the edge of his vision while he focused on your bare facial features. 

Beautiful.

"And if not?" You asked.

"I just might request that you reserve us a private study room—"

You lightly shoved at his chest, rolling your eyes while he grinned at you. 

"You wish, Jake."

► SUNGHOON

I’ve never properly celebrated my reader milestones and I’m nearing 900! I’m still going through my inbox/comments a week later and feel so supported by the influx of feedback. Honestly, I could have 50 followers with the same amount of feedback I’m getting rn and be just as happy. 🖤 The stats don’t matter terribly to me, I just enjoy dragging myself out of my coffin to chat with you all. 🥰

So, I thought I’d do something fun and different and open up my inbox to invite you guys to interact with the IOU cast!

If you decide to join, you can send them a letter with questions about themselves or their thoughts on other characters (anything really, SFW or NSFW, hate will be ignored) but if the question/comment infringes too much on major spoilers, you’ll probably get a cheeky or oblivious response from them lol. However, if you ask the right questions you might get them to share some personal anecdotes.

Do include an emoji or initial for the characters to identify you if you decide to send a follow-up question or comment to them! Have fun 🖤

— P.

[heartandfangs]

hey! how are you doing? feeling okay? i hope u got that writing of yours back!

Hey, thank you sweet anon for checking up on me 🥺❤️ Life + work is busy, but when I think about it, I have a lot to be grateful for. So I'm doing okay! Out of everything, I was only able to salvage like two pages of a fic that I haven't even put out yet (I had copied and pasted it onto a word counter site that automatically saves your progress and it actually kept it lol); everything else I am starting from scratch again.

But that's okay. I'm currently trying to move past it. In a way, losing my drafts helped me only keep the main points of IOU sans the fluff since I could only rewrite what I remember. I'm forced to improve things as I write it all again.

Best advice to avoid this for writers: Back up your work in multiple places and avoid the heartbreak!

IOU Part 5 is stalling a bit, so I took a little break from it and wrote another Jakey one-shot that I want to post within the week, but so far I've had a field day writing Heeseung's scenes in it! (Thank you to everyone who's waiting patiently for part 5 ✨)

Same for TWEWY which I started rewriting for fun; if I'm able to execute like properly and decide to repost it, it could have a very different feel to it while still having a similar premise (think a sexed up retro shoot 'em up zombie video game where the MC has abilities to fight back against creatures of the night) with better foundational concepts and a stronger plot.

Whoever you are anon, it means a lot that you check up on me! I hope you're doing well yourself, let me know if you're ever not.

Since you're so sweet, see below for a little IOU Part 5 teaser 🖤

Although Heeseung was as much of a wallflower as you were, his stunning fashion sense always garnered attention from anyone in the close vicinity. Dressed head to toe in black with a sleek leather coat and dress boots, he must’ve been drawing glances from strangers since he arrived, even appearing slightly intimidating to you despite knowing him.

Heeseung pushed off the wall and made his way towards you. You let him pull you into his arms as you rose to the tips of your toes just to barely thread your arms around his neck in a warm embrace.

Immediately, you appreciated the proximity; it was the first close human contact you’ve had in weeks. Almost wanting to just fall limp against him, you opted to rest your cheek against his shoulder and take in the scent of his cologne. He smelled of warm, subtle spice layered over crisp apples; reminded you of a crackling fireplace in the midst of the cold woods.

Heeseung felt you relax against him and rubbed comforting circles against your back in response. 

“You looked a little distressed there; something happen along the way here?”

Coming to your senses, you slipped your arms from his shoulders but his hands settled on your hips, keeping you close. It startled you slightly, being able to feel the outline of his natural bulge press against you. 

Breath catching, you replied, “...No. It was just a weird Uber drive, you know how those can be sometimes.”

“Next time let’s just meet at your place, and we’ll go from there together,” he looked into your eyes, slowly dragging his thumb over the curve of your hip.

[heartandfangs]

Omg follow up on my other ask: I’d really love to know more about the whole creative process, like how you maintain the believability & essence of your characters in your stories, also how do you come up with the little nuances?? 😭 I feel like writing characters (especially maybe introverted ones) in a complex way can be so hard

You’re the first to ask me for writing advice so I’ve been looking forward to answering this 😆 Even though I just write for fun I love talking about creative processes. Sorry if this is long, but I could still discuss it even more lol. For you and anyone else, feel free to ask me more questions if you're curious! Always happy to talk about this.

Programs that I use are Google Docs (for that autosave feature baby, fuck writing on Tumblr), Grammarly (but I still find typos after posting rip), Theasaurus.com (I repeat words too much), any music app (IOU has its own playlist that I'll even listen to when I'm not writing), & Pinterest (for vibes + moodboards). I'm constantly switching between these tabs. When it comes to writing scenes I make sure it's something that engages me while writing and if it's boring to me, I'll scrap it or rework it after sitting on it for a bit. ✍️

Usually, if an un-written scene is haunting me over the course of several weeks, I have to write it; IOU Part 5 started with the scene where Heeseung can't hold himself back from kissing MC’s neck while dancing and then I just asked myself how did we get here, and what comes after? (Always easier said than done)

I have so much fun with stereotypes + tropes but I also love characters that are a little more grounded in reality; so I try to achieve that by imbuing them with characteristics/mannerisms that I’ve seen in people from irl experiences or myself. For these nuances, you can even get inspired by specific media/characters that you love to read/watch about.

I’d recommend making a list of your favorite characters + stories and jotting down a few bullet points of what you love about them, for whatever reasons. From there, you can create character dynamics that you enjoy, and if you enjoy writing about it, there are bound to be people who will enjoy reading it!

When I write, I draw a lot on experience, then I put a twist on it; it just comes easier that way to me. IOU is definitely pwp, but I like building up the tension a bit before giving out the goods hehe, that’s where characters come in with their weirdly unique selves to make the twist on reality happen.

It’s all about that balance to craft a character that works for your story and then the tension in their relationships with others. I'd say the tension between characters and their personal flaws is what makes something compelling to read.

I’m an introvert through and through, so my MC’s lean that way a lot lol. I’ll point out some examples of how I convey MC’s + Heeseung’s introversion below! (Gotta preface that not all introverts are relegated to this sort of behavior, this is just based on behaviors in myself and introverts I’ve come across) I've taken a class on personality psychology and used to dive deep into MBTI, which also helps.

Compare Heeseung’s interactions with MC vs Jay; he’s awfully stand-offish with Jay and reserved, but it's heightened due to jealousy. He’s an observant guy and tends to think/calculate before proposing anything— and of course, he’s extremely in tune with MC even when she’s not quite so with herself. Heeseung in IOU is learning how to be a bit more transparent/action-oriented with his feelings, but only where he believes it counts.

MC is shy and polite/friendly with Jay, but with Heeseung she teases him a bit more and lets down her guard without worrying about social niceties; but even then, she’s still a bit conservative with her true feelings. While she gets stuck in her thoughts often, Heeseung understands and knows how to draw her out of it.

She prefers her alone time to recharge over hanging out with a rambunctious Jake but makes an exception for Hee who has already won her over as a friend. MC's incredibly honest with Jake about her feelings though, but he values it even if it hurts. Still, he has to retaliate in his own little ways, and he excels at bringing out MC's trait of impulsivity which is... interesting.

Suddenly there’s 500+ of you who decided to follow my blog 🫣 Thank you. I’m in and out sometimes but I hope you enjoy your stay! ⚰️

This milestone calls for a celebratory game if you’d like to play!

1. Choose one or multiple characters (LOL) from IOU or TWEWY

- I OWE YOU (Jake, Heeseung)

- THE WORLD ENDS WITH YOU (OT7)

2. Choose a genre

HYUNG LINE (smut, suggestive, fluff, angst)

- Heeseung, Jay, Jake, Sunghoon

MAKNAE LINE (fluff, angst only)

- Sunoo, Jungwon, Riki

3. Include some scenario points you want me to include in the drabble

- Feel free to be as general or specific as you want

- Can be a just a word or a short description

Examples:

Dom!Jay + TWEWY + Smut + Bondage

Heeseung + IOU + Suggestive + Flirtatious touches

Jungwon + TWEWY + Fluff + Stargazing + Enemies to Friends

Send me an Ask; I’ll aim for three over the course of this week and next. Let me peer into your minds. 👁👁

TWEWY THOUGHTS.

I'm really surprised by the recent influx of asks + interest for TWEWY and its progress. It's been a while since I've touched the project so I'm currently re-reading it to see where I left off and if there's a spark that gets reignited in me for the story.

I've considered rewriting the story because when I first worked on it, I was pretty rusty, and looking back there's a lot in the writing + story that can be improved and reworked. But idk!

I have a ton of the chapters outlined from months ago, but I still found it difficult to write at the time because I just hadn't written in a while and it's a bigger story than I Owe You in terms of scale/complexity. We're talking all seven boys plus side characters. Also, the engagement decreased with each chapter and I think that's because I set the story up for people to expect smut. But despite it also being labeled as a slow burn, some people still probably wanted it quicker. (There is this crazy scene with Heeseung though that I would love to write. It's in a way later chapter though so I'll just go fuck myself.)

Now that I've gotten my feet wet with IOU and figured out that I write smut pretty fast (at least for my slowpoke self) maybe the solution is rewriting and adding a little more smut earlier in the story? Or try my hand again at writing it as intended despite the story being a slow burn with smut to come? Still pondering, I gotta re-read chapters 1-3 first.

I've been in an IOU (I Owe You) mindset lately which is why I haven't answered any asks on TWEWY, so apologies, but I do see them and really appreciate them! Enough of them do spur me on to reconsider my life choices, hence the existence of this post.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT TEAM HEESEUNG BABY!!!!!! THE CHAPTER WAS SOOO GREAT LIKE TOTALLY WORTH THE WAIT!!!!! GOD THIS IS EVERYTHING ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

HAHAH I'M SO PROUD OF IOU HEE GETTING THE ATTENTION HE DESERVES 😚 SO GLAD YOU ENJOYED IT AFTER THE LONG WAIT. ♥️♥️♥️ I'm not keeping a super close count but I think Hee is getting more love than Jake by a small margin 👀 Woah baby

[heartandfangs]

Also would love to have the honor of reading a heeseung series by you…if you’d ever write one that is (pls pls do one day) 🥲🥲🥲🙏🏻

Ooooooh yesss! I have a couple different Heeseung-centric AU’s lined up 🥰 one’s more niche than the other and needs a lot of work so I’ll keep it secret for now, but the other is a sub Hee college one-shot that is making me meeeeelt. 🫠 Needs work too though.

It’ll take some time to come out with, per usual, but I hope you tune in then! Feel free to occasionally poke me about it lol

As for IOU Heeseung, I can’t say but he’s been in my thoughts ever since posting part 5… 🦋🦋🦋

[heartandfangs]

Thank you SO MUCH I love to hear it eeeeee 🖤 Hee will give Jake a run for his money of course 😏 he's a force to be reckoned with when he wants to be. I worked more on part 5 yesterday and made some progress so good news! I too am HeeJake biased and I’m SO curious what the majority is for everyone else 😂 I’m going to need to put out a survey
