[littlespoonevan]

Heyyy I sent a ask a few weeks ago about maybe re reading aftg and I decided to re read and am thoroughly enjoying it !! Im about 1/3 into the last book now and definitely more unhinged than I remember (Ive literally forgotten like 70% of the scenes in the books apparently lol) but also did not remember at all how completely oblivious + unreliable Neil is lmao. And from what I can remember I think bc Im older Im getting a much different experience from when I read it as a teenager. Anyways just wanted to say thanks again for inspiring me !! <3

ahh omg i'm so happy you decided to do a reread and that you're enjoying it aksjdhf i think it's definitely a lot of fun rereading when it's been a while because you rediscover all these moments/lines you completely forgot about but that are so good, y'know????? also yes, neil our unreliable narrator extraordinaire, what a guy lmao

have fun reading the rest of the last book!!! 🧡

Moving In

notes:

set in early february 2022

wc: 2.1k

yoonmi gets the boys’ help while finally moving into her own apartment after twelve years of living with her members. they get a little sentimental while helping their makdungie settle in

(i know ive made so much yoonmi content recently aksjdhf but hannah, seri, and ari content coming soon!)

conversations written in italics are spoken in english

feedback is highly appreciated!

“Hey,” Yoonmi spoke into the phone with a smile on her face, “I know you’re busy with Child’s release and all, but I wanted to congratulate you. It’s amazing, Love. Everyone loves it, just like I told you they would. Anyway, don’t forget to rest, okay? I love you. Bye.”

A sigh slipped past her lips as she hung up on the voicemail. Her best friend, who was sitting next to her and driving them to her apparttment, looked at her in concern. She chose to fix her eyes on the moving scenery outside the window.

“Mark not picking up?” Jungkook asked her.

She hummed a little to confirm. “Yeah. He’s been constantly preparing with Sticker, Favorite, Universe, Child, and Glitch Mode. I’m just worried he’s gonna burn himself out.”

“Have a little more faith in him,” the 97 liner laughed while hitting her arm with the back of his hand. “The man’s debuted like four times, he’ll be fine. You planning anything for your anniversary?”

“Not this time, no.” A small sad smile made its way onto her face. “I want him to get as much rest as he possibly can, so I’ll probably just stop by his dorm for a short bit with food, then I’ll go back home. We have concert rehearsals, and I’ll have to set up my apartment by then, anyway.”

Ah, yes. Her new apartment that her members helped her pick. It was next to the Han river and near the main Bangtan dorm.

After a while of thinking about it while quarantining from her trip to America, Yoonmi had decided that it was about time to have her own space. She couldn’t keep living in the Bangtan dorm forever, especially when their breaks ended up with everyone in their own places while she remained at the dorm. It was lonely. Also, she frequently had guests over, and decided she wanted her dogs to live with her instead of with her brother like they used to.

That didn’t mean she wouldn’t constantly be at the main Bangtan dorm, though. She was already talking to the dog-sitter her brother had been hiring about taking care of her dogs while she was gone (which wouldn’t be too often because she likes bringing Dipper and Nala to work and to play with her members).

Anyway, that’s where she was headed now: to check on her apartment. She had already paid in full, so all she needed to do was to move things in. To her relief, the members offered to help in moving most of her stuff so she didn’t have to hire a moving company. Speaking of which…

“You don’t think my PC set is being destroyed in transit, do you?” Her gaze fixated on the car behind them through the rearview mirror. She was met with the stoic expression of one of her older members.

“Yoongi hyung’s got all your techy stuff,” Jungkook reassured her, “so relax. Stop being such a worrywart. Mark’s gonna get back to you soon with his cheesy sweet words as always, you’re moving into your new apartment, and the seven of us are all going to be invading your space for at least until the concert.”

She snorted. Of course. If anyone had been excited to see her new place, it was the rest of Bangtan. They had practically hounded Jungkook when the two maknaes got back from her contract officiation. It was funny to her how they were even planning the little visit days her family and close friends had scheduled as if it were their own place. Of course, to her, it was their place, it just happened to be under her name.

Jungkook took a sip of his coffee before placing it back down and giving her a quick glance. “So, when are the people visiting?”

“Well, Hannah unnie is bringing the dreamies once their promotion is over, so that’ll be a while,” she listed down while counting on her fingers. “Jeonginie, Seri, Beomgyu, Jiminie, and Heeseungie are coming next week, and my brothers and Felix oppa are coming tomorrow because they want to help set up the room I’m saving for them. Of course, unnie and the littles are coming, too.”

“Speaking of setting rooms up, which do you want to do first, huh?” Jungkook’s excited voice made her laugh. “Your work room? Your bedroom? Oh! My room?”

She rolled her eyes at him playfully. She was planning on having a room designated for her members, but Jungkook had claimed that he’d be hermitting in her apartment, so it was his room.

“I think the kitchen first so I can make sure we all don’t go hungry,” she laughed. “Then my room and the Bangtan room because god knows how cranky you guys will get if you don’t have a proper place to rest. Did you guys even bring clothes?”

“All our suitcases are with Jin hyung in the van,” Jungkook laughed, “because he lost rock paper scissors. Does the closet in that room have seven sections?”

Even more laughter escaped them. She wouldn’t tell them, but the biggest room in her apartment would be for Bangtan, so she was sure there’d be enough space. Now, for the task at hand: actually fixing things.

“Food’s ready!”

Her voice sounded throughout the apartment a little louder than she wanted. In an almost comical manner, the members had come running into the would-be living room, settling around the small wooden coffee table she had assembled earlier. The dining table would have to wait.

“I made pajeon and jjajangmyeon,” she grinned while placing down the main dishes. “I hope you oppas just napped on the mattresses first.”

“We got some of your furniture together,” Yoongi gently tugged her next to him on the floor. “You’re lucky everyone is more experienced with building furniture now than they were during that one Run episode.”

“Right,” she laughed.

The group uncharacteristically were chatty while eating. It was as normal as a family dinner could get. At some point, someone even connected to her speakers and started playing mid-2000s and early-2010s r&b and hip hop songs.

Eventually, lunch was finished, and they had wordlessly split off into different tasks. Hoseok and Taehyung had cleared up the table and headed to do their dishes. Namjoon and Yoongi were going around her apartment to see if everything was okay and nothing was off before they would get started on helping with the furniture as well. Jimin and Seokjin had gone back to fixing up her furniture, which left her and Jungkook in the living room sorting out all the boxes for which goes where.

A sense of deja vu filled her as Ne-Yo songs blasted through the hallway, Taehyung’s adlibs and Hoseok’s laughter joining in the mix. Everything seemed so familiar, and she couldn’t help but feel nostalgic.

“A little help would be nice,” Jungkook’s voice snapped her out of her thoughts. She looked over at him, only to laugh at his struggle with the tent for her dogs. “This thing is huge.”

She shrugged and went back to opening the boxes in front of her. “Dipper’s a big boy. And we’re supposed to be sorting which goes in which room. We can fix my dogs’ bed later.”

“I‘m just getting a head start on your living room,” He put the tent away in a corner for later then sat next to her. “So, why are you all smiley? Boyfriend text you back yet?”

“No,” she began, “I was just thinking. Doesn’t it feel like back when we were way younger? Like back when we were first moving dorms?”

The thought just further processed in her head as she said it out loud. That’s why everything felt so familiar to her. Everyone practically took on the roles they had from their first move, and the ambience was there, too. The excited chatter over jjajangmyeon, the old music they’d listen to, the members conspiring to make her do the easier work, everything was the same.

The only difference was everyone was so much older now. That, and the fact that they weren’t struggling to make it by anymore. At least, not in the way they used to.

She thought back to that time. It was just before the public’s view of her shifted and she tried to subtly distance herself from her members. Not that it worked. They had naturally grown tactile to one another as they trained together, so it didn’t work as well as past her had hoped.

Despite that shift in the opinions about her, she had enjoyed that era of her life. She had a new family, she was being more hands on with their music than ever in her life at that point, her members were getting more giddy when they saw their sudden increase in views and attention.

A wave of nostalgia hit her as the mixed feelings from that time stirred in her chest once again, led by the excitement of what was to come in the future.

Jungkook knocked on the side of her head. “Hello? I answered your question, but I don’t think you heard me. Looks like you got stuck time travelling, huh?”

“A little,” she admitted as she opened up another box. The very top held the first gift SHINee had bought her that wasn’t their merch, which she coincidentally remembers wearing the day of their first move. She slipped it on. “Younger us would be so proud of us, don’t you think?”

“Yeah,” Jungkook shrugged while fixing her hair out of the jacket, “but I also think there would be some mixed feelings about it, especially from Namjoon hyung, Yoongi hyung, and Jimin hyung.”

She looked up at her best friend with pursed lips. “Sometimes I want to go back and tell a younger me that she’d be okay. That she’d have her family, you guys, her boyfriend, her friends, and people who like her that would be by her side for a long time.”

“Forever,” the 97 liner corrected her while slapping at her hand. She hadn’t even noticed her nails digging into her thighs. “We’re by your side forever. You can’t return me, I burnt the receipt then threw away the ashes in the sea.”

She just rolled her eyes and shoved at him. The older of the best friends put a dramatically offended face on, making her laugh. Her laughter only grew and mixed with his when he got up, threw her over his shoulder, and started bouncing around the room.

Of course, she knew exactly what he was doing. He did this exact same thing on the day of their move. Her heart warmed, realizing that they had the same thoughts and that he was playing it up, too. Maybe they could get the rest of the members in on it.

“What are you two doing?”

Speak of the devil, as soon as she thought of the other members, Seokjin had appeared in the doorway, with everyone following in suit.

Hoseok had taken out his phone to take a video, while Yoongi started talking.

“Jungkook, put her down,” Yoongi lightly nagged as Jimin went to stop the two maknaes from bouncing off the walls. “We don’t want you two to pull a muscle or throw up your lunches.”

“He started it!” “She started it!”

The two maknaes were quick to blame each other while Jungkook, physically coaxed by Jimin, put her back on her feet. The two burst into laughter at their synchronized words, echoing their younger selves who had knocked over the shoe rack (thank god they didn’t knock anything over this time around).

Taehyung had spotted this as an opportunity and pulled the other three members of maknae line into a tight hug, effectively knocking them over into the pile of empty boxes Yoonmi and Jungkook had made. Yoongi just shook his head in amusement before heading to the kitchen where hopefully some of the cooling packs he had stuck in the freezer would be cold enough. There were bound to be bruises amidst the younger half of the group. Meanwhile, Hoseok had moved closer to film the little dog pile.

“Sometimes, I think they haven’t grown up,” Seokjin’s voice was laced with fondness amidst his fake annoyance. The eldest turned to their leader, who had been leaning on the door frame and watching everything unfold with a knowing smile on his face. “So, leader. Do you want to do something about this?”

Namjoon shook his head. “Let them be, hyung. They’re just reliving old memories. This is exactly what they did when we moved into the three-room dorm.”

“I know.” Seokjin had sounded softer than he did earlier on.

The two watched the rest of the members in silence, letting their laughter and smiles fill the apartment. And, if you asked any of the 8 members, they could have sworn everything faded to early 2015 for just a little while.

Dear Mel. It is, once again, Wednesday!

What are the annoying boys up to this week?

hi debs! this week, i think that they are annoying of the horny variety aksjdhf

ian has been spending a lot of time in the garden lately. it's that time! which means: intensifying freckles. mickey is beside himself. the ones on his hands??? or his shoulders?? all he wants to do is touch them. or lick them.

however, because they are Adults With Jobs 🙄 ian insists on wearing clothes all day. clothes that cover most of the freckles 😡 mickey keeps getting odd glances of them and it's driving him BONKERS. ian shot down his idea for a summer work uniform - or, rather, he shot down mickey's idea for a half-naked uniform. apparently, that's unprofessional. so. mickey is annoyed and frustrated this week. he knows those freckles are waiting for him under there, and he doesn't get to see or touch them all day??? terrible!

ian is annoyed because mickey keeps trying to undress him while they're working akjshfd they'll be driving to a pickup, and mickey won't stop tugging at his shirt or peeking under his waistband at red lights. and look. ian is only human. he has a hot husband, and he can't always resist him! but lunch break ambulance hookups are becoming a problem now that it's getting so warm. they can't keep showing up to pickups all sweaty and messy - perhaps the summer uniform isn't such a bad idea.....

[reyeslonestar]

last night's ep was so good but now i feel like we need a backstory to the backstory, you know?? like i have to know how things escalated to that point. also the implication that both owen and gwyn already knew he had a drug problem?? i guess they trusted him to take care of it on his own, but it got worse instead of better?

hey Charlie! added your other ask in the bottom of this - sorry (?) for this, I got a little carried away aksjdhf

yeah honestly, I have sooo many questions after that episode about TK's addiction and the dynamics between him and his parents. when did he start, how long did Gwyn and Owen know? how did his firehouse see him then? what was different about this time that meant Gwyn decided on rehab?

I feel like it was less that they left him to take care of it and more that they felt they could manage to help him themselves? like, TK's comments about interventions in season 2 suggests that maybe they tried the intervention route and just support him themselves, but that wasn't enough?

what I am curious about is Owen. hoo boy. what on earth is going on there. I mentioned in this post here about TK's determination to maintain his ability to work, and his resilience in the face of his addiction to preserve that connection to Owen and that sense of family that he craved with him, but was Owen aware that he was suffering because then...what? were Owen and Gwyn under the impression that he'd got clean, and this incident was after Gwyn had found out somehow that that wasn't the case? because if Owen knew... I don't even want to think about that.

and honestly, it doesn't make sense to me if Owen knew - everything we've seen has indicated that he's always been very driven to help maintain TK's sobriety - the move to Austin, keeping TK living with him, ensuring he doesn't face professional consequences for the overdose so he can keep working, questioning him about his AA meetings- it doesn't make sense that he'd have been so lax, unless the reaction in 1x01 and onwards is rooted in guilt? but I feel like we would have known about that if that was the case?

Gwyn, actually, seems to feel a lot more guilty about TK and his addiction than Owen does - think 2x08 "if he is in some bar, or some alley right now because of us..." and the fact that she's the one finding him and booking him into rehab - idk, it just seems a lot more like she feels responsible for it all and I want to know why. (maybe she was taking prescription oxy for some kind of pain/injury and TK stole them from her and that's how he started? just a thought) it actually reminds me of Carlos and his tendency to also feel guilty for things that weren't within his control.

also i'm a little skeptical of the fact that nobody mentioned the fentanyl to carlos.... but ronen's sort of implied that it's gonna come up again and i for one hope it's DRAMA when carlos does find out.

while I agree that it's an interesting omission, I also understand that the pace of the ep made it a difficult bit of info to get to Carlos quickly and kindly - that meeting at the airport before the flight was hardly a good moment for "hi yeah TK might have tried to steal fentanyl from his own work - okay bye see you in New York." I think that would be more appropriate for a conversation after they've decompressed a little from all that trauma...but also I can see it slipping through the cracks, and considering it took a life or death situation for TK to confess it to Owen, I can see him wanting to hide it from Carlos, someone with whom he already has anxieties about fucking up a 'perfect' situation - so he would be hesitant to bring up that indication of instability. I think that this could be a really compelling plot point for their relationship development, especially from Carlos' perspective, with him having to adjust to the reality of being with TK, and being faced with the full reality of dating an addict. I am just hoping that they tackle it conscientiously, without villainising TK for his addiction. cause that would suck.

° ☁ 。woo sunjae

woo sunjae ( & min yoongi, BTS ) is a twenty-seven year old Dreamer dreaming a dream of snowfall who has been part of the Collective for two months. He works as a painting instructor and is known for being beguiling and serpentine. Look closer, however, and you may find that he reminds you of vibrantly stained denim, the scent of musky cologne, and desperately trying to hold your eyes open.

about // pinterest // profile // wanted plots

sunjae was raised by his grandparents, as his parents were simply not well equipped to care for a child. as a result, he's extremely close to them even to this day, while he really hasn't made much contact with his parents.

always had a bit of anxiety growing up, as well as abandonment issues for obvious reason. still, he always tried his best to be lighthearted and positive.

he developed a love of painting, as it helped ease his anxiety. he'd spend hours in his room in silence, just painting away. he enjoyed the abstract style most of all, as it allowed him to mindless apply color to canvas without focusing.

he also found that he seriously enjoyed disappearing into the world of video games. his childhood, needless to say, was rather vibrant and colorful.

in secondary school, he'd blossomed quite a bit, growing out of his awkwardly anxious phase and into a charming, handsome young man. he found it far easier to make friends than he had at younger ages, and the romantic attention he was garnering grew as well.

there was a particular girl that he blushed furiously at every time they passed in the hallway. he'd never quite liked someone like this since he'd grown into a more popular figure, so he was barely aware of what to do outside of the cool new persona he'd established himself as around the school.

thankfully, she was adept enough to take the lead, confessing her feelings before sunjae really had to worry about it. once the two were finally on the same page, they became inseparable. you'd rarely see one at school without the other, and the same could be said on the weekends, honestly!

once they'd both graduated, the two married in a small, but charming ceremony. life, though modest, was rather sweet in the early stages. one thing became staggeringly clear, though, they'd been deprived of a world beyond each other.

for three years, they experienced the highs and lows of becoming exclusive in high school and never really taking the time to explore life. partnering this with the both of them living their married life in a university dorm, and what was once two people joined at the hip slowly started to become two people who were finding themselves away from each other.

arguments about money started to become their sole interactions with each other, and though they still loved one another dearly, the painful decision to separate was made.

it wasn't long before being independent was the far more appealing route to take, and so a divorce was finalized between them, four years after they'd initially exchanged vows.

following the split, sunjae kinda became a ginormous flirt?? he's not really sure if he's just enjoying the ability to flex his flirt muscle without any strings attached, or if he's actually just trying to fill the romantic void his divorce left.

once he received his art degree, he'd settled into a job as a painting instructor at areum's arts & crafts, something that brought a lot of peace to his mind. he also began streaming some of his painting sessions, as he thought it might be something people want to watch. (lowkey wants to be the next bob ross but honestly might be a bit too much of a tortured soul for all that aksjdhf)

after witnessing the shooting star, the richter scale on sunjae's life began measuring out of control. though the dreams he was having seemed comforting at first, they soon began to devolve almost all the time into nightmares. his creative inclinations ramp up the frequency a bit, though he hasn't quite made that connection yet. it might devestate him if he does.

due to what scientists have observed about nightmares being driven by negative feelings, sunjae wonders if he has unresolved trauma of some kind, or maybe even lingering feelings of regret from the dissolution of his marriage.

either way, the dreams have reignited a lot of his childhood anxieties. the worst part of it all is that he seems convinced that someone else is present in some of the dreams, and if that's the case, they too are experiencing his hell. it drudges up a lot of guilt for sunjae, who would much rather suffer alone than spread it around.

upon learning of the dream collective, sunjae jumped at the chance to take part. he's hoping they can help him find out why his dreams have spun out of control, and maybe even who else is present in them.

he's taken to living at the facility so they can have access to him whenever they need him. plus, he feels much safer dreaming under their care. there are dualing sides of his mind when it comes to their organization; one side is quite skeptical of their intentions. would someone really just offer up free housing in the name of humanitarianism? the other side of him is innocently curious of all the secret knowledge they might possess about these very vivid dreams and the shooting star that caused them. the latter side is currently winning, possibly due to his desperation in resolving his issues.

[wonfmd]

Whoa, is that SAGONG WON? I love him! He’s the LEADER, RAPPER AND VOCAL of KNIGHT, and he’s a ‘92 LINER! He’s one of my favorites under BC ENTERTAINMENT. Don’t you think he looks a little like WOO DO HWAN?

i am writing this very last minute because there’s people at my house and i need to go back to them aksjdhf

his parents are company owners so until he was around 15 he lived with a silver spoon

tho everything went to shit when he was 16 and (tw: prostitution, rape)the parents wanted to use won’s sister to get contracts but won offered himself instead so from 16 to 18 , every week,he spent the night with some important people

at 18, he ran away with his sister and while working one of his part time jobs, he was scouted by a bc staff... thinking being in the spotlight would probably protect him & his sister, he became a trainee

he wasn’t particularly good at singing and dancing but he wasn’t bad either so at 20, he officially debuted as knight’s leader

knight’s scandal and the loss of some of the members hit him hard because he felt responsible, since then, he has became less friendly and more strict with the remaining members

personality wise, he’s overly friendly, used to fit his image to others so they’d like him; he had to do it to survive before. as such, he is easy to befriend, although he can be quite sarcastic, flirty and playful at times

because of his past, he can’t sleep unless someone is next to him and (tw: nsfw) he has sex with different partners regularly as he feels empty without being physical. he doesn’t mind which gender the other person is.

he is immensely loyal and generally thinks of others before himself

he is obsessed with keeping knight’s popularity as he really thinks nothing as happened to him so far because of his group’s popularity and the eyes of the citizens on him

he doesn’t do relationships, he’s just been in one relationship before

he doesn’t really truly open up to anyone, although some people know more than others

idk what else i wrote this so quick... like this to plot i rlly want a bunch of plots hi, my bb needs love and support

Artist Made Collection ‘Show’ By BTS - Miya

notes:

just bts doing home shopping promo of their merch, yoonmi edition

ft. mc jungkookie and models yoongi, jimin, hobi

conversations in italics are spoken in english

the lip gloss is actually based off of lipglosses i made irl aksjdhf that’s where i got the sample photos

wc: 1,740

pls pretend that in the gif she’s wearing the makeup i wrote aksjfh

Jungkook: Yes, hello, everyone! Today, as you’ve all been waiting, we’re joined with a series of products more different from previously seen.

the camera pans to the items on the table jungkook’s pointing at

there are three makeup palettes and an open casing containing sunglasses

the camera cuts back to jungkook

Jungkook: I’ve actually been quite excited for these products. They look very very colorful and bright, much like their creator. Let’s welcome her now

jungkook starts clapping, and yoonmi walks out of the dressing room in the back with her shades on

she’s waving and bowing while jungkook is cheering

Jungkook: Everyone, it’s BTS’s Miya! Welcome!

Miya: Hi! Thanks for inviting me here

jungkook is laughing while he pokes at her glasses. she lightly slaps his hand away before the camera cuts to a front shot

she picks up the sunglasses on the desk from its case then slips it onto jungkook’s face

Miya: There, now we match.

he laughed at her before going to remove the sunglasses, but only the dark lenses pop off, making him jolt in surprise

the camera cuts to a closeup shot of the thin frame in jungkook’s hand

Jungkook: Woah, what is this?

Miya: Looks like you’ve gone ahead to start the demonstration

the camera cuts to a mid shot of her and jungkook while she lightly takes the disconnected frame from his hand

she holds it forward to show it off to the camera

Miya: This is the first feature of the Lost Glasses. It can be just normal glasses or sunglasses depending on the situation when you want to wear it. This is done with the thin magnetic frame that goes on and off as easily as this

it cuts to a close up of the frame in her hand and follows as she lightly tosses it towards jungkook’s face. the camera zooms out just a little bit to catch jungkook’s reaction, but he doesn’t flinch

the camera cuts to a further shot of the two as they high-five at the successful trick while laughing

Jungkook: That is pretty cool. What else is up with this?

Miya: In terms of functionality,

she takes the sunglasses off of jungkook’s face and shakes it around

Miya: as you can see, the magnet is strong, so the frame of the shaded lenses won’t just fall off by accident. The glasses themselves, on the other hand,

the camera cuts to a close up of the glasses in her hands as she removes the magnetic frame and holds up the glasses on their own. a purple-ish blue sheen appeared on the normal lenses

Miya: These are blue light filtering lenses.

Jungkook: Oh, what do you mean by this?

Miya: It filters the light from our gadgets and promotes better sleep and reduced eye strain, which I think is suitable for this time and generation. Most people are working through their computer, tablet, and phone screens. In some cases, people also tend to stay up playing games…

the camera cuts to a mid shot of the two once again with yoonmi giving jungkook a pointed look. he rolled his eyes at her and elbowed her in the arm

Jungkook: Yeah, I get it. Could you tell us why you called it the Lost Glasses?

she snorts at him

Miya: Of course. This is where we turn to the aesthetic side of these glasses. They’re a simple black frame with a golden inner lining for that sense of chicness. Engraved inside are the lyrics from Lost which say “To lose your path is the way to find that path”. This is a reminder that it’s okay to stray sometimes because it may benefit you on your way rather than hyper fixating on one road forward. Also

the camera cuts to a closeup of the sunglasses case on the table as yoonmi leans forward to pick up a chain from it along with a circular pendant

Miya: It comes with a chain that acts as both a glasses chain and a necklace

jungkook accepts them as she hands them to him, and the camera focuses on how he’s slipping the pendant onto the chain

Miya: The pendant says “Found My Way”, which also comes from Lost’s lyrics, and it’s meant to serve as motivation and reassurance that you’ve found and are going along the path meant for you

the camera zooms out to show yoonmi putting the necklace on jungkook

he looks at it for a while before giving an approving nod then leaning forward to look at the table in front of them

Jungkook: How about these colorful things? From what I heard, these are eyeshadow palettes and lip glosses

Miya: That’s correct! I really like experimenting with makeup, so I tried making my own line of makeup. The whole set is called “Aesthete” which means someone who knows beauty

the camera cuts to a zoom on the lip glosses. it tracks her hand as she opens them one by one as she talks about them

Miya: This first lip gloss is called “NO:ON”. It’s a clear gloss with minimal red pigmentation just to bring life into your look. I also used a spatula-like silicone applicator so you get the most out of the product and even distribution. If you look here, it’s there but not blinding with the shimmers or the red

she swatches it slightly on jungkook’s arm then raised his arm to his nose. jungkook sniffed before his eyes went wide

Jungkok: It smells like chocolate!

Yoonmi: That’s right. Next, we have “Mikrokosmos”, which smells like berries, and “Stay Gold”, which smells like cinnamon. Both are completely clear glosses that add a slight shimmer and shine to any lipstick or even just your lips. Personally, I love “Mikrokosmos” and its little stars. The stars don’t come out of the tube, though, don’t worry

she swatched them on jungkook who looked at them in genuine curiosity

the camera zoomed out to catch their conversation

Jungkook: They feel really moisturizing but not sticky. That’s from the coconut oil?

Miya: And the aloe, too. I looked into natural ingredients that would make this the least irritating or harmful to the lips as possible.

Jungkook: And what about the eyeshadows?

Miya: Of course. I did the same research to create a safe and pigmented product. Look here

the camera cuts to a close up of the three palettes

Miya: The first one is “Autumn Leaves”, which consists of the colors I wear the most on an everyday basis. This sparkly one is “So What”, which is the designated jelly glitter palette because we could all use the sparkle in our lives. Last is “Best of Me” which had bright experimental colors that you can try new looks out with. Infact, it’s the palette I used on myself today

the camera cut to a bust shot of her as she took off the sunglasses she had been wearing the whole time

the camera slowly zoomed in as she closed her eyes and showed off the colorful look consisting of the pink and purple and slight bit of orange

you can hear jungkook make impressed sounds and clap from off cam

Jungkook: Of course, our makeup master. How about we turn to our three models over there?

the camera goes to a wide aerial shot and pans towards the left where yoongi, hoseok, and jimin were all casually sitting around a table

it cuts to a close up of yoongi, who is “on his phone” while adjusting the glasses on his face before he gets “blinded” and puts on the magnetic frame

Jungkook: Wah, look at that. In no time at all, you can protect your eyes from both your phone and the sun

it then cuts to jimin and hoseok, the former drawing sparkly whiskers and on the latters face along with smileys all over his arm

Jungkook: You can really see the colors, even of the “So What” palette

Miya: Right? Oh, let me show you something

the camera cuts to yoonmi and follows her as she walks over to the model station

jimin faces forward in a rehearsed stiffness, making everyone laugh. she picked up the “autumn leaves” palette from the models’ table and opened it

Miya: I don’t have a brush right now, but let me show you how easy it is to apply and blend even without one

the camera cuts to an extreme closeup of jimin’s face with his eyes closed. yoonmi quickly made a warm and soft slightly glammed up but still wearable everyday look on jimin’s eyes

every now and then, the camera would cut to yoongi either snapping his frame on and off the glasses or “flexing” the necklace

and it would also cut to hoseok happily coloring in jungkook’s tattoos with the colors on the “so what” and “best of me palettes” while jungkook applies the “mikrokosmos” lipgloss on himself

Miya: There. That didn’t take too long, and now the “NO:ON” gloss

she swiped it on jimin’s lips and the camera zoomed out to show the two of them while she applied the “stay gold” gloss on herself

Miya: Tada! Don’t we look nice?

jimin was nodding proudly then it cuts to the other three giving overexaggerated thumbs up in approval

Jungkook: I’m sure everyone is interested in the process of how these products were made, so let’s turn to the making video

the camera cuts to a wide aerial shot before fading into the making video

once the making video is over the camera cuts to jungkook and yoonmi, his tattooed arm over her shoulder so you could see some of the colors filled in by hoseok from earlier

Jungkook: And there we have it, everyone. Bangtan Miya’s “By BTS” collection. Be sure to catch the “Aesthete” makeup set and the “Lost” glasses as soon as they go up for sale, you won’t regret buying them

behind them, the three models were playing with the sunglasses and coloring each other’s faces at random with the eyeshadow palettes and lip glosses. the two maknaes laughed at their antics

Miya: Thank you so much everyone for watching, and thank you to Jungkook-ssi for being a good host

with that, the two waved at the camera which backed away slowly. as the shot faded into black, you can see the three models start poking different colors onto the two maknaes’ faces

Absolutely no pressure to actually write it obviously (I know how it is lol) but what are your ideas for that S8 re-write? 👀 I just like hearing your thoughts

whew! i don't have any concrete storylines in mind, so if i ever did it i'd have to really sit down and plan it out. it would wind up being very ian-centric but would anyone really be surprised by that? but hmm here are some random thoughts i've had about it:

ian would not get all Weird about trevor. idk if trevor's even still around in this, unless it's for an official break up. i'd let him have a little more self-respect in my s8 😇 and no chub bar.

and we would not forget mickey exists ✨ ian will think about him, and i think even talk about him with lip - but probably no one else bc he doesn't want to risk mickey's safety

might extend the monica storyline beyond the third episode - maybe focus on that as the catalyst for an episode rather than the shelter. there would still need to be a conflict with the siblings i think... something to take the place of fiona/ian and the church.

so i don't know what is it is, but something that alerts his siblings to the fact that something isn't right... but i think they'd still likely miss the severity of it till it's too late - but IDK what happens??

ian's still feeling alienated, especially in the wake of losing mickey again... maybe that brings around some repressed trauma from the first time around... tips him further over the edge?

but i am still thinking there would be a religious element to this episode - maybe he's looking for something in the wake of losing both monica and mickey... how you can do everything "right" and still lose? maybe he's even inspired by saint francis aksjdhf and he starts exploring ways to find meaning...

so he's working as an EMT and studying various religious texts/probably attending services of some kind (but it's NOT a JOKE unlike the "real" s8)

and maybe this sparks that god complex and starts the delusions... something about healing and saving and ??? idk

i am not sure how it all comes together.... bc while i understand jail as a method to write cam off and bring mickey back... and while i LOVE prison boyfriends.... and i understand it as a consequence for the van... i do not want to write that 😌

so idk something happens, ian has to deal with the fallout? does he lose his job? does he get arrested still? maybe there's some time in jail or a hospital for whatever reason, i don't know!!!!

AT THE SAME TIME, i would start working on getting mickey back earlier. do i know how? no! do i know why? also no! maybe he somehow hears from ian and is like "???!!!!" i simply do not know. but i would give him a whole ass storyline on getting back. maybe he still rolls on the cartel and gets time served.... i don't know!!! but he gets back home and finds ian... well. ian's a fuckin mess.

then what happens? who knows! especially not me askdfh i just want to make gay jesus disappear 😇

BUT it's more thoughtfully written than s8 😡 and it doesn't make of mockery of everything ian has been through 😡 that's all i got 😡

[ggukkiedae]

idk if ur requests are open but if they are, could you do a small story about you mentioning yoonmi getting panic attacks on stage and maybe things fans could’ve done aside from the glares. like the lasers and if they ever threw anything or something

thank you in advance if you write it! ☺️☺️💜💜

hi hun! sorry this took so long, i know i said i’d try to post written stuff everyday, buuuut i suddenly was given the opportunity to babysit my baby cousin so i’ve been focusing on him for a bit aksjdhf but i’m working on another request, hannah content, and main timeline stuff rn! anyway, hereyago hun 🥰

WARNING: anxiety attack, mentions of hate, attempted blinding by laser pointer

—

Yoonmi was used to it.

All of the glares she received, she knew the other members would receive some as well. All of the hate she got, she knew becoming an idol would inevitably lead to that. The bad incidents with fans, well, she was for sure bound to experience a few of those. She got used to it all, especially since the hate on her significantly magnified once they got more recognition.

This didn’t mean she didn’t get hurt by everything, though. Both mentally and physically.

This is why all the glares she received as they performed “Fire” were still very unsettling to her.

Though she kept her confident stage persona since the performance started, she couldn’t help but notice most, if not all, people in the audience either giving her looks or not paying her any attention. The moment this processed in her head, she gave an inward sigh and became extra careful to not glance at her members or accidentally touch them.

‘Alright, Yoonmi,’ she thought to herself, ‘just get through the performance. You can sulk later, just get this performance over with.’

And it was going well until the final dance break happened. As she was squatting down for Taehyung’s solo line, she felt something in her eye. Blinking and squinting rapidly, she quickly realized it wasn’t something physical. She briefly recognized a red dot coming from the audience before her right eye lost vision.

Her breath hitched in her throat as she closed her right eye and looked away while following with the choreography.

It was only a few seconds, but was it possible that it blinded her? What was going to happen if she couldn’t see through her right eye? Would they cut her from the group? Would she have to stop being an idol entirely? Would she have to go to Australia now and live like a normal kid with her new family? Not that the last option was bad, but she really did want to stay and keep being an idol.

Her chest was tightening, heart feeling like something was clenching it. Breathing felt hard especially as they were going through the last bit of choreography. Everything felt too fast yet slowed down at the exact same time, and it was making her head spin. Not once did she open her right eye in fear of not being able to see.

She clenched her fists to stop them from shaking. As she finished up the last few counts and waited for Yoongi to walk backwards, she saw the red dot once again and quickly closed her left eye as well, but it wasn’t fast enough. Her hand went up to rub it a little as she walked to the back of the stage.

The moment she heard the signal through her in-ears that their stage was over for real, she blindly rushed off to the wings to the side where she knew her manager would be. Her breathing was haggard as she fell to her knees.

She could feel herself start to tear up, so she raised her hands to wipe the tears away. Her chest felt too tight to breathe, and her throat hurt. The overwhelming fear of not being able to see anything kept her from opening her eyes.

“Yoonmi?” The voice that called out to her was distant yet familiar. “Hey, kid. Breathe, alright? You’re good, you’re okay. You’re backstage now. Can you open your eyes for me?”

“Sejin oppa...” her voice barely came out as a whimper, “I don’t...”

Her lack of breathing made it hard for her to speak. She heard people coming towards her, and suddenly she felt more suffocated. She didn’t need all if the staff seeing her like this and thinking she was a brat or a crybaby, but she couldn’t stop herself.

All of a sudden, someone hoisted her up into their arms and ran off with her to what she assumed was their waiting room. Her hand was placed onto this person’s chest.

“Hey,” the voice she recognized as Jungkook’s murmured to her, “breathe with me, alright? It’ll be okay. Breathe. I’m right here, so are the hyungs. What’s wrong?”

“Can’t see,” was all she managed to get out, “laser.”

The older maknae cursed under his breath while lightly kicking a door open. It was at times like these when being given their own waiting room seemed a little more like a blessing than normal.

She felt herself being placed onto the couch and Jungkook’s hand pressing over her eyes, making everything darker.

Her chest grew tighter as she realized that Jungkook had carried her that long way. What if the fans saw? She isn’t supposed to be getting too touchy with him or they’d hate her even more!

“Take a deep breath for me, Mimi,” he instructed her as he kept her hand on his chest, her resistance making him worry just a little more. “In, out. Yeah, just like that. Hyung!”

“What’s going on?” That was Namjoon’s voice.

“I think she might be having an anxiety attack, and I think lasers made her vision weird?”

“Well, get your hands off her,” Yoongi’s voice called out. “Someone shut the door and turn the lights off, somebody else call a medic.”

The mixed conversations all sounded faint to her, but she felt Jungkook’s hands lifted away. This simultaneously relieved her yet scared her.

“Yoonmi,” Yoongi’s voice called out to her, “it’s Yoongi oppa. Can we touch you?”

Her chest tightened even more when she heard that. She shook her head and shifted herself so she was sitting with her knees up to her chest and hands in her hair.

“No, okay,” Yoongi reassured her. “That’s okay. Can you do me a favor? Can you remove your hands from your hair and clutch onto this pillow instead?”

She could feel a pillow being placed against her knees. Following Yoongi’s request, she pulled the pillow closer to her.

“Open your eyes for me, princess.”

“Can’t,” her voice was choked. “Don’t want to. Scared.”

“Okay, that’s fine for now,” the elder reassured her. “Let’s talk about something, yeah? How’s the filming for your variety show going? Are your unnies taking care of you?”

The question came out of the blue, confusing her. She felt someone press a tumblr into her hand. It didn’t feel like her usual tumblr. On instinct, she took a sip.

“They’re nice,” she whispered. “They take care of me, and we’re learning a song together. We’re gonna film a music video, too.”

“That’s good, princess,” Yoongi praised her, “I’m sure you’ll do great. How about your solo debut? How’s the album coming?”

“The planning is going fast,” she told him, still a little confused with why the sudden questions. “I have my title songs, I’m just working on my b-sides a little more.”

“Sounds good. Look at you, you’re breathing is back to normal now.”

It was when he said that that she realized she could breathe properly. Her chest was still a little tight, her throat dry as well, but significantly less than a while ago.

“Can I touch you?”

She bit her lip a little, unsure if she should allow. Fans would hate it. Then again, she was backstage, and she really needed some form of comfort then.

Once she nodded, she felt the couch dip next to her and someone, presumably Yoongi, pulling her into his side and wrapping an arm around her. She let out a long sigh before cautiously opening her left eye.

She could see the blurry figures of her members, making her shut her eye back in fear and bury her face into the pillow that she held.

“What’s wrong?” Seokjin’s voice asked worriedly from in front of her.

“Blurry,” her voice was muffled but heard by everyone, “you guys look blurry.”

“Don’t worry too much,” Namjoon’s voice came up. “It was probably a laser pointer, right? As long as it wasn’t directly in your eyes for too long, you’ll be fine. This blurriness is temporary, okay?”

“I hope so,” was the last thing she said before she heard the door open and Jimin’s voice.

“I got the medics!”

hi!! can i request smth where hannah gets a nightmare ab the sasaeng thing and yangyang tries to talk to her ab it?? (angst 4, 15, 17)~ 🍟

hey bub! of course! i havent written about yanghan in a while and i miss them aksjdhf (they’re going strong btw, rest assured yangyang is constantly hyping his gf up on ig, weibo, bubble, and just anywhere he can) aaaanyway, here it is! 🥰 everything is spoken in english btw so i won’t be doing the italics on this one

WARNING: violence and attempted murder (but it’s all a nightmare), sasaeng, kinda graphic

prompts: “Why are you lying to me?”, “Holding everything in doesn’t help, you know.”, “If you don’t hug me right now I think I might fall apart.”

—

Hannah struggled to pull the girl’s hands away from her neck. She tried calling out for Mark and throwing the cup on her bedside table at the wall separating them in hopes that he’d come help her.

“Don’t you dare think my Mark oppa is going to come and save you, bitch.” The hands around her neck tightened, and all Hannah could do was struggle against them. No matter how much she clawed away at the sasaeng’s arms and hands, it was like she felt no pain.

Then they met eyes. Hannah froze. These eyes held so much malice in them. They were so cold. They reminded her of his eyes.

Then the door burst open. She could see Kihyun, her manager, on the other side of the door.

That’s when the sasaeng decided to yank on Hannah’s hair and use that to drag her to the window. Hannah desperately looked at Kihyun, unable to yell due to her throat being in pain. Where was Mark? Why wasn’t he coming? Did the sasaeng get him before her?

She watched as her manager tried to break through the barrier to get to her. Since when had there been glass in her door frame?

Her hair got pulled even harder as the sasaeng pulled her face up.

“If you want to be with my Mark oppa that much, then so be it.”

Hannah couldn’t do anything as the sasaeng pushed her out the window. She glanced at the streets and saw a red spot and familiar pajamas, making her breath hitch in her throat.

“Hannah!”

She shut her eyes. It was impossible for Kihyun to save her at this point.

“Hannah, please!”

It was taking awfully long for her to hit the ground.

“Hannah, wake up!”

What? She was awake. And that wasn’t her manager’s voice.

“Hannah, you’re having a nightmare. Please, wake up!”

With a gasp, the London-born girl sat up, panting in fear. She clutched at her chest and looked to her left. Next to her was none other than her boyfriend. Yangyang looked quite worried as he cautiously moved his hand towards her. Hannah flinched back and got off of the bed, shocking Minnie awake as the pomeranian was sleeping on his mini bed just by the foot of hers.

“I’m fine,” she told Yangyang, “just need a glass of water.”

She walked out of her side of the room, thankful Mark was spending the night at his girlfriend’s place because he would for sure wake up if he were home. She headed over to the window and took a deep breath before looking down from it. Nothing. Barely even any cars or people down there. A relieved sigh made its way out past her lips as she headed to the kitchen. The light footsteps behind her told her that Yangyang had also gotten out of bed and followed her to the kitchen.

“Do you need anything?” he asked her. “Do you want something warm to drink? Or food? I can run down to the convenience store if you like?”

“No, I’m good,” she reassured him and pulled out a glass and a pitcher of water. “I’m just parched. Keep it down, would you? Shotaro and Sungchan might wake up.”

She let the short silence pass between them as Yangyang went to the fridge and took a small carton of milk. Her boyfriend poured the milk into a mug and covered it with a plate before placing it in the microwave.

He leaned against the counter and looked at her with an eyebrow raised. “Holding everything in doesn’t help, you know?”

“I’m genuinely okay,” she tried to ignore the way her voice wavered, “and you should go back to bed. I’ll be right there.”

“I don’t think you’re okay, Hannah.” His gaze was a lot more intense than normal, making her shift a little from one leg to the other. “You had a nightmare bad enough that you were thrashing around. You don’t normally move more than two inches in your sleep. I need you to tell me what happened. Please don’t bottle it up.”

“It was nothing. Don’t think too much about it.”

“And let you overthink about it?” he scoffed as the microwave dinged. She watched as he took the milk out and walked over to her, handing her the mug. “No way. I know it isn’t nothing. Why are you lying to me?”

She bit her lip and looked down at the mug, gingerly taking it from his hands. “Milk? What am I, a toddler?”

“Hannah.”

Meeting her boyfriend’s eyes, she nearly caved completely. She took a sip of the milk and basked in the warmth that spread throughout her body, easing the tension that was forming. A hand made its way to her face, the way the thumb lightly stroked her cheek making her lean into the touch.

This was so different from the tight grasps and painful grips that she could remember. These touches were soft and careful. They were gentle. They weren’t out to get her. In these touches, there was comfort and no fear of being hurt in any way.

She could feel herself choking up. “If you don’t hug me right now I think I might fall apart.”

Yangyang didn’t have to be told twice.

She let her boyfriend pull her into a hug, hiding her face in his neck. It was comforting the way he whispered comforting words into her ear. All of a sudden, a hand made it’s way through her hair. A kiss was placed to the side of her head when she flinched, making her relax just a little more. There was no pulling, only reassurance.

After a while, Yangyang lifted her onto the kitchen island and leaned back a little. The way the warmth of his hands spread from where they were placed on her waist made her feel safe. There wasn’t some psycho deranged fan in her dorm out to get her. No, it was 2021, and that person has long been detained. She now lived not only with Mark, but with Sungchan and Shotaro as well. And, she had this amazing boyfriend in front of her who, despite his constant playfulness, was very intent on taking care of her.

“I saw her again,” she whispered to him as he handed her the warm mug of milk. “And Kihyun oppa couldn’t save me this time around. She got to Mark first and—“

Her eyes shut as she remembered the blurry yet clear image of her brother-figure on the ground. It was something she couldn’t say out loud, not without breaking down. As much as she and Mark go back and forth, he did mean a lot to her, and seeing him like that was terrifying, even in a nightmare.

“That wasn’t real, alright?” Yangyang reassured her. “It was a nightmare. You’re safe here. Security’s insanely high now, and that person’s gone.”

“I know.” Her voice was uncharacteristically small as she let Yangyang lightly pull her head down to place a kiss on top of it.

“Drink up,” he gestured to the milk. “Once you finish this, we can go to sleep again. No more nightmares. I’ll be right there.”

She looked at him, incredibly grateful. They had been dating for only a few months, yet he already knew how to calm her down that easily. He saw her bad sides and actually decided to learn about them instead of brushing it off.

She gently placed the mug on the surface next to her as she wrapped her arms around her boyfriend’s shoulders. He had settled himself between her legs and rested his head on her shoulder while he rubbed her back and traced nonsense words on there.

“Yangyang?”

“Hm?”

“Thank you.”

“For you, anytime.”

Airport moment with Jungkook from Australia??

right! i mentioned this a few weeks back aksjdhf basically yoonmi and kookie spent a long time apart for the first time in a while making this iconic moment when they reunited in new zealand. (a fan caught in on camera) hope you enjoooy 💖🥰

2 weeks.

That’s how long it’s been since he’s seen his best friend.

Jungkook walked through the airport with an extra spring in his step knowing that he’d finally be able to meet up with Yoonmi for real again. Yes, they spent a week together in Busan before she left, but two weeks without being able to see each other?

Call them clingy, but Jungkook can speak for both of them when he says it feels strange to not be able to talk to each other face to face. Jungkook always went with her when she had breaks, or vice versa. To be honest, the longest they’ve ever gone without seeing each other is two days. (Well, a month counting the time Bighit sent Jungkook to train in America, but that was nearly seven or eight years ago.)

“Hey,” Jimin bumped shoulders with Jungkook, “you excited? You’re the only one who’s never gone this long without our makdungie.”

“No, Yoongi hyung.”

The elder looked towards them at the sound of his name. The two Busan kids shook their heads when given a curious look. Jungkook then noticed Yoongi’s phone open on the calendar app.

“Her flight landed forty-five minutes ago,” Yoongi noted. “I’m pretty sure she’s on her way here now.”

“I just hope she doesn’t get lost,” Hoseok sighed. “Somehow, I feel like we should have tried harder to convince her to bring at least manager Sejin with her to Australia. Jin hyung would agree.”

“Maybe I should have gone with her.” Taehyung looked at his phone as if checking for messages. “Maybe next time? I could meet her parents like Joon hyung and Jungkookie did.”

Namjoon snorted at his members. They all turned to look at him in confusion. Why wasn’t he worried, or at least a little antsy? He was just going through his documents, making sure everything was in the right place. At their silence, he looked up.

“Did you forget that she grew up moving from country to country?” Namjoon raised an eyebrow at them. “I know she tends to get lost easily, but she can navigate through airports without a problem.”

Right. If there’s one place Jungkook would let Yoonmi take the lead (not that he wouldn’t follow her to the end of the world), it’s the airport. In the Bon Voyage series where they are left to fend for themselves, it was usually Yoonmi who handled their checking in and stuff like that. She can navigate through the airport as if it were her own home.

Namjoon’s comments seemed to calm everyone down only the slightest bit. Yoongi’s grip on his phone was tighter than usual still, and Jungkook’s eyes kept darting around restlessly.

A few minutes later, while they were walking towards the exit of the airport, manager Sejin tapped Jungkook’s shoulder.

“Look over there.”

Jungkook followed the direction he was pointing towards and broke into a grin before handing Sejin his suitcase.

“Yah!” His yell made the other members jump, but that didn’t stop him from running over to the familiar figure.

Yoonmi, on her end, started running as well, dragging her suitcase as best as she could, excited laughter clearly spilling out of her.

In a matter of seconds, the two maknaes met in the middle, Jungkook wrapping his arms around his best friend’s waist and lifting her up. Yoonmi’s squeals could be heard from a distance while the other members quickly made their way over to their maknaes.

“I missed you,” she said while squeezing Jungkook’s shoulders, “so much!”

“Back at you.”

He gently set her back down on the ground but kept her in his hold.

“If you’d stop hogging her,” Taehyung coughed, “some of us would like to greet our makdungie, too.”

Yoongi chuckled. “It’s been years since they were separated for that long.”

“You haven’t spent this long without her either, hyung.”

“Give the kids a minute.”

Hiii I hope you’re fine 😄 Please take your time don’t feel pressured. Can we get a scenario in which Seri learns skateboarding with the members ?

Also can I be added on Seri’s taglist ?

here you go bub! sorry it took so long 😭, but here’s some seri learning how to skateboard aksjdhf and of course! i’ll add you to the taglist right away! 🥰💖

TAGLIST: @choisoobiniscute @strwberrydinosaur @1-800-enhypenbibi @caratinylyfe @sunflower-0180 @1-800-minji @woopetals @kimhyejin3108 @starlighthwa @akshverse @jkebabayy97

Seri watched her members helplessly as she gripped her skateboard. How were they doing that? Why were none of them falling off?

The jacket shooting had been full of those types of thoughts so far. It’s not like she didn’t like the concept. On the contrary, she loved it. She loved the way they were all styled, and she loved the overall vibe of it. It’s just that she had never tried skateboarding before, and she didn’t think she’d be able to get it in time for her shots.

Maybe she’d just settle for sitting shots.

“Noona!”

She was pulled out of her thoughts as Taehyun speedily made his way over to her. A laugh escaped her lips while she reached out to catch him so he wouldn’t skate past her.

“Slow down, Tyun,” she helped him off the board, “I don’t want you getting hurt. Also you’re tall enough without the board.”

“You should try skating.” The younger laughed when she gave him a pointed look. “It’s not as hard as you think! And you won’t get hurt, I promise.”

Taehyun took her board from her hands and placed it down. He held out his hands for her to take and gave her a slight pleading look.

“You better not let go of me.” Taehyun just laughed at that her nervousness.

For around five minutes, Taehyun walked around the flat area, pulling her along with him. Every now and then, she’d feel him pull harder then loosen his grip so she’d roll forward alone, but she’d tighten her hold on his sleeve to keep him from getting too far.

All of her little surprised noises and sudden tugs resulted into fond chuckles from Taehyun. While he knew that she trusted him with her life, he also knew that she really didn’t want to get any scabs just before promotions start.

“Break time, Tyun,” she pulled on his hands, “please? I need to get off of this accident on wheels before I fall off.”

He laughed at her once more and steadied the board with his foot for her to step off. “There you go. That wasn’t so bad, was it?”

The moment her feet hit solid ground, she plopped herself onto the ground and glared at the skateboard. The sounds of Taehyun’s chuckles accompanied with the excited hoots of Kai as he filmed on his skateboard snapped her out of her one-sided fight.

She watched Taehyun as he settled next to her on the ground. The two of them watched Kai in silence. An unknowing smile made its way onto her face while she watched Kai have the time of his life goofing off with his skateboard. The added sight of the staff chasing after him for his cuts was a bonus.

“You see that?” Taehyun pointed to his fellow 02 liner. “Kai just keeps going without a second thought. That’s how it should be. Think of this as another confidence lesson. Keep going forward without doubting or having second thoughts.”

She looked him up and down before fondly shaking her head. “You really are living up to your title as TXT’s King Solomon.”

“Come on, noona! You can’t tell me you didn’t have fun on the skateboard!”

“Well...”

The younger got up from where he was sitting and pulled her up with him. With the slightest reluctance, she followed him. It wasn’t that far of a distance, she just found herself standing in front of the skateboard once again.

“Tyun...”

“Noona...” Her eyebrows raised at his imitating tone. “Just try. Go fast once, and I swear I’ll be running right beside you to catch you if you fall.”

She looked at his pleading eyes for a second before relenting and stepping on the skateboard. “Fine, but only here on the flat part.”

Taehyun’s enthusiastic nodding was all she needed to push off.

She pushed a few more times, harder than she did previously. True to his word, Taehyun was right beside her the whole time.

“Woah,” she exchanged a look with him. The wind flowed through her hair, a free feeling overtaking her.

“Feels nice, huh?” She could only nod at Taehyun’s question, a big grin on her face. “I told you it would be fun.”

“Okay, you win this,” she laughed before a frown made it’s way to her face. “Tyun, I don’t know how to stop!”

“Right! Hold on, noona, I’ve got you.”

⇢ Episodes 7-8

𝚛𝚎𝚖𝚒𝚗𝚍𝚎𝚛𝚜:

⇢ conversations written in italics are spoken in english. requests and feedback are highly appreciated!

EPISODE 7

her first cut for the episode is in the kitchen of the upper house where hobi stops by and pats her head

“need help?” “i’m good, oppa. you can go ask jinnie or yoongi oppa if they need help!”

she’s silently moving around the kitchen while getting everything she needs to make tteokbokki and grilled chicken skewers

then she heard them say they were gonna cook fried chicken instead so she looks right into the camera

“maybe i should make rabokki instead?”

she works around hoseok and jungkook while they make the batter and prepares all her stuff starting with marinating her small pieces of chicken

eventually, she’s starting on her rabokki when jungkook comes in to make sauce

“need help, oppa?” “you know that good chicken sauce?” “i got you”

she started dictating stuff out loud for him to follow while simultaneously working on her own dishes

he stands next to her, heating up his saucepan on the spot next to her rabokki. she jumps when he loudly asks for ketchup

“you’re so loud” she laughed and passed the ketchup bottle

“don’t pretend you don’t get louder than this” “true. try this. is it good?” “i’ll try yours if you try mine”

the two maknaes were just trying each other’s food more than they should have at this point

once she put the cheese on her rabokki and covered it, she moved to putting her chicken pieces and chopped up bell peppers onto skewers

when she finished that, she turned off the stove and moved her skewers outside

she watched in amusement while the others panicked over the fried chicken. she was peacefully grilling her skewers

when they went to score the chicken, she called out to them “make sure to check the first two knes you fried, too”

Miya: The oppas… sometimes get a little excitable. Cooking with them is pretty amusing because they usually know what to do, but something happens and makes everyone a little jumpy. It’s actually quite funny. We did it, though. It worked!

cut to when they’re eating and she smiles

she’s sitting across from yoongi struggling to open her can of beer until yoongi opened it for her

“how can you still look like a baby when opening a can of beer?” “the tab hurts my fingers”

her skewers were finished quite quickly, and so was the rabokki

after they joked about an edm version of the in the soop song, she finished the remnants of her beer can and stood up

“does anyone want a cocktail?”

hoseok cheered for her “ooooh makdungie’s gonna make us an adult drink”

she laughed and took three bottles of soju before skipping over to the kitchen

she pulled a large clear bowl from the cabinet and dumped in a lot of ice quickly followed by the soju. she pulled a few scoops of what looked like strawberry ice cream and mixed it into the bowl of soju

she frowned realizing she couldn’t carry it but jungkook walked in

“i’ll carry that, go get us some glasses, mimi”

she grinned at jungkook then took 8 smaller glasses from the cupboards

“a sweet drink to counter all the salt and strong flavors”

she scooped some for everyone, and they did a cheers to it

“ooooh you made this well, aegi” taehyung’s wide eyes made her giggle

“i saw it online!”

by the end of the night, she was on hoseok’s lap and in an endless fit of giggles especially when they were teasing namjoon to make him dance

the next day you they show a clip of her empty bed with the words “makdungie is gone?” on the screen

then you see her sleeping beside jungkook

Miya: The oppas made it a rule to never let me sleep alone after drinking. I don’t really know why? Maybe it’s because I’m a little clingier, or I think it’s an alcohol poisoning thing or in case I get sick. It’s pretty sweet of them, honestly.

she wakes up mumbling nonsense when hoseok cuddles her and jungkook awake

“makdungie, jk” “[incoherable]”

she sits up straight away though and starts rubbing her eyes “hobi oppa?”

and hoseok uwus because cute tiny baby aksjdhf meanwhile jungkook is still knocked out. he cups her cheeks and squishes them

“time to wake up, yoon-ah. i’ll leave the other maknae to you. head to the upper house, alright?”

when hoseok left, she turned to jungkook’s sleeping form and poked him. he groaned, so she just sprawled herself across his stomach, making him grunt

“hobi oppa says we need to wake up and go to the upper house” “right now?” “mhmm”

next cut of them is yoonmi on jungkook’s back while they arrive at the upper house

“maknaes, could you two clean up and set up the table? and bring ten bowls too?” “okay”

once she finished, she walked over to the camper van and slid in next to yoongi. she closed her eyes again, making yoongi sleepily chuckle

you can see her again when they're eating breakfast. her eyes are half-closed, hair going everywhere while eating, so taehyung had to tie her hair into a bun for her

she disappears for a while after breakfast which leads to taehyung asking yoongi where she went

“knowing her, she’s probably with her guitar at the dock”

then the screen cuts to yoonmi actually sitting on the dock with her guitar and laptop out

she’s strumming random melodies until at some point she’s just playing waste it on me

there’s a mini time lapse of her before she decides to get up and go back into her room to nap

the screen shows her cuddling up to her plushies and hiding her entire body under her blanket

by the time it was 7, yoongi comes over to her room to wake her up

“hey, princess. if you don’t wake up now, you won’t be able to sleep later” “hmm” “wanna come sit with me while i work?” “mkay”

she sleepily let yoongi pull her back to the camper van

Yoongi: I’m not sure how, but I know when to check on her. I just thought maybe she’s still asleep, so I needed to wake her up so she can sleep at night. She sleeps in so much on free days, so j have to make sure she keeps as regular as a sleeping time she can get

the last clip you see of her is her hugging yoongi’s arm while they walk

EPISODE 8

she’s sitting across from yoongi with a sleepy smile on her face

“yoon-ah, put your hands up!”

she giggled and did as she was told while vibing with the elder. the screen’s caption read “yoon siblings are having fun”

hours later, she and yoongi are called for dinner

“the steak and pasta are good!” “thanks, makdungie”

they toasted for their last night there and she’s just mumbling off to jungkook about both the song for in the soop and another song she had been working on then yoongi came to let them hear the guide

jungkook then wraps himself around her because she feels cold and yoonmi just sits there unbothered. once she finished her food, both maknaes cuddled up to jin

she sits on the grass between jungkook and taehyung while holding her own firecrackers

“wah, this is really cool” “makdungie, look here”

hoseok was holding out his phone and taking pictures of her. she immediately smiled for him

jimin kept a hold on her when they tried the other types of firecrackers so she wouldn’t get too close

she was cheering when they lit the firecrackers “wah! pretty!”

they’re all gathered in the living room where she found herself in between namjoon and yoongi. you can see her zone out a little during their game

“i’m so confused” she laughed and went along with whatever was happening

the next day she woke up due to her phone ringing

“mm hello?” “...” “a little, yeah” “...” “it’s already 2pm?” “...” “alright” then she hung up

the captions just read “her brother woke her up by accident”

she spent a while staring at her wall while sitting up in bed until her door opens to reveal hoseok

“yoon-ah, time to—oh, you’re up” “good morning” “how long have you been awake?”

hoseok sat next to her which effectively made her lean her head on his shoulder “just now. yoonsungie oppa just called me about seollie”

“head up in a bit, okay?” “i’ll fix my stuff first”

she was quiet for most of lunch then went straight to the trampoline and does a few tricks and flips

“oh, they’re playing with water guns. that looks nice. oh, i should probably take a shower”

taehyung caught sight of her when she was walking off to the boathouse to get her stuff for her shower

“aegi, come give me a hug.”

he ran right for her making her squeal and laugh while running away from him. he eventually caught her in a hug and got her wet. she laughed and hugged him back before going to get ready to leave

Miya: It was nice. I feel like this is the least amount of work any of us had in the past seven years. It was a reminder to sit back and take a break every now and then. To you who is watching this, take a break. Whether it’s by yourself or with friends, take a break. It’ll be good for your body and your mind.

“is it just me, or did the staff suddenly bring in another car?” “i don’t know, mimi. maybe they want us by twos?”

she got into a car with jungkook and hooked her phone up to the aux. they looked at each other for a bit before she played the original version of euphoria, which was their duet they rolled down the windows and sang along

Recording In The Soop:

she sat next to yoongi while they waited for everyone to discuss what they wanted the lyrics to be

they were silently discussing something between themselves

eventually they had her go into the booth to record first

she was in a fit of giggles when they were instructing her “okay okay, i got it, let’s go”

she got it in one go and skipped back to everyone else. she settled herself next to yoongi again and watched the rest of the process

she cringed a little at namjoon’s narration but cheered “RM!”

she laughed when yoongi ran into the booth “oppa, i could have pressed the start for you”

she couldn’t help it and gave all controls to hoseok. she just kept laughing

when it came to the chorus bit, she and yoongi stayed outside to direct

“oppa, are we gonna make them record adlibs after the soop part?” “probably. you wanna try?” “hmm not really”

namjoon did his adlib and she just bursts out laughing because she didn’t expect it

jungkook kept making adlibs so she laughs and pokes him with her foot “oppa, you better record one”

then it was jungkook’s turn. she snorted “this is gonna be something”

then he actually did it and she just falls out of her chair laughing which just made everyone laugh harder while jimin helped her up

but he fell, too, and cue harder laughter

“oh my god, i can’t”

once they finish jungkook’s adlibs she just “can we get jimin oppa and jinnie oppa to record the main line for the soop part?”

the rest of recording was going well with a whole lot more laughter until yoongi checked everything

“jungkook, yoonmi, get in for harmonies”

she follows jungkook inside while everyone leaves

“what do you two want to do?” “i was thinking we’ll do layers to the soop part” “oh, oppa same. you do the main, i’ll do the higher?”

they recorder the layers smoothly and yoongi clapped for them “good work, kids”

[littlespoonevan]

i just read your girldad!buck anon and i think there's a fic almost like how u have described! it's been a while since i read it (so this may be wrong) but it's half awake in our fake empire by hmslusitania!! i'm pretty sure buck finds out he's fathered a little girl and eddie is like "bro move in with me. but platonically"

ahh i've read that fic, it's wonderful!! and i've recced it before :D it wasn't quite what i meant with my post though (though it's also been awhile since i've read it so apologies if i'm misremembering, hayley!!).

i suppose i meant more that eddie would very explicitly and very immediately also offer to be the child's father??? like the man is all but standing there with adoption papers the second buck takes her home aksjdhf so not just cohabitation but them both committing to being the child's parent (and buck's role in christopher's life, thus becoming more official too)

idk idk like i said i only had a half-formed thought about it yesterday morning when i was watching tv so i don't even know if this makes sense or if it is in fact something that's been written before but yeah!

[ggukkiedae]

Can i request part 2 for yoonmi's opening gifts during valentines? The boys' reaction would be fun to read 🤔

of course hun! it’s really nothing much, though, just the boys watching her while she goes through the gifts that they didn’t open for her aksjdhf anyway, here you gooooo

italics are english!

Yoonmi found herself distracted from opening her presents when seven boys immediately turned to her upon hearing the rustling of a paper bag.

“You guys are being weird,” she laughed. “It’s not a first time I got White Day gifts from these friends.”

“But it’s the first time you got this much,” Jungkook gestured to their room behind him which had all the flowers, candies, and chocolates removed from their wrappings. The maknae line and Seokjin really did make sure she didn’t see any of those notes.

“Well, people didn’t really like me in middle school,” she shrugged upon opening the first present, missing the way her members gave her somewhat sorry looks.

She grinned when she pulled out Timtams. It was Chan’s gift, which Yoongi had handed to her along with Yoonsung’s gift in the middle of dinner. Both her older brothers were busy, so they just dropped by and had her members give her their gifts.

“Read the note,” Seokjin urged her gently.

“It says, ‘Hey, Little One. I know you miss home, so here’s a little something from there. From me, dad, and Lucas. There are a few more packs for the hyungs.’ Aw, I haven’t had Timtams since I visited home last September!”

“That was nice of Chan to add some for us,” Yoongi smiled when Yoonmi passed the three extra packs towards them.

She watched Namjoon pull out his phone, probably messaging Chan a thank you. While they were all distracted with opening the Australian chocolates, she opened the present from Yoonsung. Inside held packs of the chocolate buttons that she loved from Marks and Spencers. She hid it behind her, mentally noting to read the note later and hide the box from the others. She’ll share anything, but her chocolate buttons? No way.

“Open another one,” Hoseok suggested as soon as all the boys’ attention was on her.

She laughed and opened the one labeled with a picture of a hamster. It was from Jisung, which had been sent to her through Hannah, Mark, and Haechan. She read the note out loud with a laugh.

“Oh my god, ‘To, Yoonmi. I saw marshmallow lollipops that looked like hamsters. I got one for each of us because the hyungs and Hannah noona always say we look like hamsters. From, Jisung.’” She shook her head while she pulled out the slightly distorted yet cute marshmallow lollipop.

“He’s right,” Taehyung shrugged, “you both do look like hamsters.”

“The poor thing looks distorted,” Jungkook fake cried upon inspection of the treat. She giggled at his overdramatic acting and took another gift.

“Hwi’s has no note,” she stated, “but that’s because he said it would be weird. Oh! Hershey’s kisses!”

“Typical Daehwi,” Hoseok laughed and handed Yoonmi the only box in the pile she was allowed to open.

“This one’s from Haechan oppa,” she noted as she pulled the box open.

“Wow, he went all out,” Namjoon‘s eyes widened upon seeing the contents.

There were chocolate mushrooms, choco home run balls, Pororo cheese crackers, and what looked like carefully wrapped dalgona candy.

“Ah,” she opened a box of chocolate mushrooms for her to eat, “he must have remembered me saying I missed Korean snacks when we were on tour.”

“Haechan gets my vote,” Taehyung called out.

She laughed at him and took the last paper bag. Inside were two boxes and a note. One was a box of chocolate chip cookies, and the other was what looked like it would be homemade chocolate. She opened the second box and saw a wooden rosary bracelet in the center of little pieces of chocolates. She quickly looked at the note.

Hey, Yoonmi. I heard from Hannah that you broke your rosary bracelet on tour, so I got you a new one. I have one, too! This probably isn’t the time to mention this, or it is... Anyway, I know it’s only been two months since we talked about this, but I’m still waiting for you. Whenever you’re ready, alright? Happy White Day. -Mark

She smiled while slipping on the bracelet. “I’ve been meaning to buy a new one.”

“My vote goes to Mark,” Jimin laughed, “but what does the note say?”

“Why is there a point system? Anyway, just to enjoy the cookies and that he heard my rosary bracelet broke,” she shrugged while tucking the note into her sleeve, “nothing much.”

“The point system for who we like,” Jimin winked at her while Taehyung nodded along.

“Yah, what are you two talking about,” Seokjin threw a pillow at the two of them, making everyone else in the room laugh.

“Alright,” Yoongi stood up, “that makes all your presents. How about you go on in your room and look at all the other sweets you got. We’ll handle cleanup.”

With much protest on her side, the boys managed to get her in her room so she could at least change out of her uniform.

Jungkook followed her in and sat next to her on her bed. He passed her a keychain which had a photo of all eight of them inserted in it and her name skillfully drawn on the other side.

“An extra gift from me,” he told her and watched while she excitedly clipped it onto her bag. “Now, what did the note from Minhyung— no, Mark— really say?”

“I can’t get anything past you, can I?” she laughed but handed Jungkook the note. “It wouldn’t be a big deal to other people I just— It’s sweet.”

“He really is trying to prove he isn’t going anywhere,” Jungkook mumbled while reading the note.

“I guess so,” he heard her mumble as well.

He looked at Yoonmi, who had the smallest smile on her face. After a small bit of hesitation, he spoke again.

“He has my vote.”
