OOOOHHHHH UR WRITING IS PERFECT🎀 can u do domestic flirty kissy stuff with Seongjoon😭🙏viral hit chokehold has me😭

Thank you so much, sweet anon! My god, you guys are really liking Seongjun huh? I desperately need to reread about him because this well is running dry 😭

Baek Seongjun x Reader: Washing dishes

The sight of Seongjun as he cleans the dishes always sends you a little wild.

You told him that once, and his eyes softened even as he laughed.

Maybe it's the way his hands are occupied. He's defenseless as you pinch his butt on your way past.

Or how sometimes he finds himself lost in the chore, music playing from his phone, and he hums and sings to pass the time.

(You secretly filmed a snippet of this for his livestream, and his fans went wild.)

It could just be the way his sleeves are pushed up to his elbows - revealing his muscular, tattooed forearms.

And then the reminder of his strong hands and long fingers moving through the water, carefully scrubbing and rubbing away, evoking steamy memories. Heavens above, this man is sexy.

Perhaps it's how you sometimes hover in the kitchen too, cooking or cleaning or whatever else. Then he turns around and flicks you with water as you flinch and yelp.

On second thoughts, you're sure it's how natural it is to press yourself against his back and wind your arms around his waist. Seongjun leans into you, smiling as he carries on.

Then you tiptoe, nudging aside his hair with your nose, and plant kisses along his neck and upper back.

But, very simply - it might just be because it's a sign of your shared home, your shared life. How far you have both come.

The sweet comfort of domesticity.

Strawberry kisses (Seongjun Baek x reader)

Content: Establish relatioship, PDA, making out in public, slightly suggestive.

Warnings: Making out, saliva, moaning, suggestive.

The bell rang loudly through the classroom. I quickly collected up all my items, stuffing them into my bag, carefully collecting the small good luck charm Seongjun had made for me. My feet tapped hurriedly against the smooth wooden floors. Fingers curled around my own, tugging me back into his chest, soft lips pressed against my cheek, arms curled around my waist. He sighed softly into my ear, chin resting on my shoulder. His face pressed into my neck, he grumbled softly. I could feel him frowning against my skin, arms tightening, holding me closer to him.

“Where have you been hiding today?”

 I giggle softly at the ticklish feeling of his hair and breath on my skin. He snuggled further into me, pressing all against me, his cheek bumped into mine, lips pressing delicate kisses all over my face.

“Joon!” I squeal, his blunt teeth digging into my jaw before pressing soft kisses into the aching mark.

“Wanna kiss you. Your lips always look so soft.”

“We should wait until we get out of school before being affectionate. What's everyone going to think?”

“They’re gonna think that the school's most kind student has fallen for their childhood best friend turned delinquent,” his voice was a whisper, lips smearing kisses to my cheek and edges of my lips. “They’re gonna think I've been corrupting you.”

“They’d be right about both things,” I reach back, cupping his cheek in my hand, leaning back against him, and turning my head, pressing my lips softly against his, “I’ve fallen head over heels for my best friend, and you’ve been corrupting me, look at me no shame in kissing you right here in front of everyone.”

He groaned softly against my lips, tilting his head deepening the kiss, his tongue darting out, licking along my bottom lip and pushing into my mouth, dragging over my own. His taste washed over me, cool and minty, tongue swirling around mine, brushing over my teeth and exploring every corner of my mouth. Heat burned at my gut, large hands sliding up and down my sides squeezing ever so softly. He groaned again, his lips moving against mine hungrier, more desperate.

“Ew! Can you two get a room? No one wants to see you fucking in the school hallway!” A shrill voice breaks our heated moment.

Embarrassment burned my cheeks. Seongjun pulled away slowly, saliva connecting the two of us. His soft panting breaths brushed over my tingling lips, and his arms held me close to him, preventing me from wiggling away. He pressed a few more soft kisses to my lips.

“Don’t listen to them, baby,” his voice was smooth and calm, but his eyes swirled with anger, and his jaw clenched tightly.

“Let’s just go. Remember, granny wants to see us today,” I whisper softly, taking a few steps forward. His arms release me, and he follows behind me like a lost puppy.

A hand wrapped around my wrist, pausing my steps, “wait… Can I give you a piggyback ride?”

I nod, watching as he shifts the bags to his front before bending down, motioning for me to climb on. I climb on, my arms wrapping around his shoulders, his arms sliding under my thighs, easily lifting me up. My lips press softly against his cheek and nose. His lips twitched up in a soft smile; I kissed the corner of his lips softly.

“You’re so beautiful, Joon.”

“Thank you,” he whispered,  a soft red coating his cheeks, “You’re so gorgeous.”

I giggle again, fishing my lip gloss from my pocket, and swiping an obscene amount onto my lips. I press my lips to his, smearing my lip gloss onto his lips. I watch his tongue swipe across his lips, a moan spilling from his lips.

“That's why you always taste like strawberries.” 

“Do you like the way I taste, Joonie?” I purr softly into his ear, kissing his earlobe, leaving a sticky residue on his ear.

“Don’t tease me, or we’ll have to skip granny’s so I can taste you more. ”

@whatudowhennooneseesyou

“Seonghwa, what is Hongjoong doing here?” You asked turning around to look at him 

He smiled at you “Well he is going to fuck you baby and Mommy is going to watch him fuck you. You remember that conversation we had about you wanting to be fucked while someone watched this is your time. I see how you look at Hongkong. I'm not mad he is good-looking.”

Seongjun Baek:

"Babe, dinner is ready."

Seongjun opened the door and saw [Name] shivering while looking down at something, he wondered on why they were shivering.

"[Name]?"

He walked towards them and sat down next to him. "[Name], is something wrong?" He rubbed their shoulder as they leaned against them while shivering, and now it was making Seongjun worry on what was happening with his significant other.

"[Name]? Please tell me what was wrong.."

They were quiet for awhile before they looked up as Seongjun morphed into shock after he saw the look on their face, it was fear. Evident fear plastered on their face.

"Seongjun.... I am so scared, I don't know what to do.."

"Why? What happened?"

They gave him their phone making looked at what made them so scared, he looked through the phone and swear he saw red when he read the text messages.

Someone was asking nude photos of them, begging, threatening, and guilt-tripping his partner. He grit his teeth as he sighed and turned off their phone, he comforted them and whispered sweet nothings to them.

Wanting to make sure they feel safe but deep inside, Seongjun was ready to kill someone.

"It's going to be alright, now let's go and eat dinner."

"Okay..."

-

He tilted his head as he looked at the guy with a sack over his head, he sighed and took the sack off revealing a bruised face. He looked at Seongjun with fear in his eyes.

"P-Please... let me go, I will do anything... please, i-if I own money th-then I will pay i-"

Seongjun laughed as the guy looked at him with confusion and fear, after awhile, he stopped laughing. "Oh... god... don't worry, you don't owe money..'' The guy sighed in relief.

"But you I will fucking beat you, for messing with my partner, you bastard."

"Wha- AAGH!!"

The guy was kicked in the side of his head causing him to fall down on the floor and he was being kicked around, as Seongjun looked at their leader.

"You can do whatever you want to him, just make sure to tell him the details. Alright?"

"Of course."

-

"Seongjun, where were you?"

"Oh, just doing some business."

He kissed their forehead, [Name] hummed and hugged them. "I cooked dinner, come. Let's eat!" They smiled as Seongjun smiled.

"Alright, I'm excited to eat your food."

Taehun Seong:

"Oi, let's fucking beat this guy up."

"Eh?"

The group were stunned as Taehun was showing a photo of a guy, they wondered on what the guy had done to Taehun but they think it was probably stupid.

"Why?" Rumi asked as Taehun showed the others the messaged as they looked over it and they were absolutely horrified about it, as Rumi stood up. "Yup! Let's beat this guy up.''

While Hobin was in shock, as he tried to calm the others down to make sure they don't cause any trouble. After awhile, the meeting ended with Troubleshooter TV doing the request.

And Taehun was basically ready to beat the bastard up but they had said to Taehun to calm down and let Eunu handle it, even though Taehun wanted to beat the guy so badly for doing that to their partner.

So, now. They were going to meet with the guy, and when they met him. They asked for confirmation and when they got it, Eunu started to talk.

But it was irritating Taehun, every word that came out of their word, trying to justify on what they did made him very irritated and annoyed.

"So of course I- ACK!!"

He was thrown back as the everyone was in shock at what they had seen, Taehun had kicked him by the chin. He stared down at the male on the floor.

"You try to do that shit, I'll follow you and beat you up every time."

-

He huffed as him and [Name] were basically having a staring contest, he looked to the side.

"They were piss-"

"You don't need to explain or justify yourself, Taehun."

He pouted as he felt the seat next to him sank down and then felt soft plump lips against his cheek, he looked at [Name] who was smiling.

"Thank you."

He smirked and pulled them closer to him.

"Ow~ my lips hurts. Can you heal it?"

"You can just do it, right?"

Just read your fic on Kissing.....now I want one for Taehoon and Seongjoon 😶‍🌫️😶‍🌫️.......is it possible? 👉🏾👈🏾👀👀

Black Anon 🖤

Dropping 2/2 here! Thanks for asking Black Anon. Splitting it up into 2 because I have seen the word 'kiss' way too many times! + just in response to your latest ask, glad you're feeling a little better! It's the damn change of seasons here catching people out. Look after yourself!

Baek Seongjun x Reader: Kissing

Seongjun kisses with uncertainty.

Likes he not sure of who you are or what you are.

It's been so long since he's seen or felt another 'human being' that he's forgotten the sensation.

Seongjun kisses like he's trying to close off his heart.

Surely history is doomed to repeat itself and fate is a cruel mistress.

You will leave or betray him like everyone else.

Seongjun kisses with hope.

Wondering if he can give you happiness, if he's even deserving of happiness.

A tiny spark, finally ignited.

Seongjun kisses with his all-

Because you're it for him.

It's you that he's been searching for all his life. Money and power can fall by the wayside.

Seongjun kisses you on camera.

He wants the whole world to know his heart and soul belongs to you.

Little Injuries (Seongjun Baek x Reader)

@spaceyflowers @spaceyflowerswriting

3rd pov

The sound of a bell rang clear through the building, the teacher's voice instructed the group of rowdy students to leave the classroom. One young man hung back, the teacher and student making light conversation as they both packed their respective items, a knock sounded at the door, both looked over, the young man's face lit up, lips pulling into a bright smile.

Reader’s Pov

My knuckles rap lightly against the wooden door, poking my head through the entryway, my eyes finding Seongjun right away, he looked pretty in that slightly rough way of his. Short dark hair was ruffled, his uniform was rumpled, shirt untucked, blazer open, the two top buttons had fallen off, eyes flick down to settle on his hands as he grips the back of the chair, purple bruises coat his knuckles, he must have been in another fight.

I watched Seongjun bid the teacher goodbye, collecting his things and walking over to me, his shoulder bumps softly into mine, I stumbled slightly, his laugh filled my ears. I whip around scowling at him, a hand grabs my arm gently pulling me so I stand upright.

“Can’t even stand straight,” he chuckled again, “that’s the entire reason no one is scared when you threaten to fight them.”

“Hey! Everyone is scared of me!” I bark out, frowning up at him, all he replies with is a soft hum as he tugs me along down the hall. His hand grabs my bag from my shoulder flinging it over his own, before grabbing my arm again muttering something about how we can’t have me falling over again.

“You know you don’t need to wait for me everyday,” he pauses, “I really do appreciate it.”

I watched him run his free hand through his hair, ruffling his hair, his blue eyes slid to mine, a cheeky grin slipping across his face.

“Well, how could we break our tradition? We’ve been walking home together since we’re in primary, PLUS! Everytime you leave my sight you get into a fight!”

“Then you should stay by my side all the time then, keep me from getting in trouble,” he grinned down at me, “plus everyone would be running away, anyway, since you’re so scary.”

“Yeah, yeah… Enough making fun of me… Are we still going to that little cafe today?”

“But making fun of you is so fun,” I push open the door as he talks, holding it for him and continuing our track away from the school, his eyes glimmering mischievously as he speaks, “we can go to the cafe if you come to my next judo match.”

 “You act like I’m not always at your matches, I don’t think I’ve missed one in the last 2 years, dummy.”

He chuckled softly, “ I guess that’s true, what if you show up in a cheerleading outfit this time, ya know with the pom-pom’s and everything, you cheering from the sidelines might just encourage me to win faster… I can hear it now,” his voice turns high and mocking, “Seongjun! Seongjun! You’re so strong and amazing! I’ve never met someone so hot and sexy.”

“Well, first off, I’m not going to show up to your match with a cheerleading costume on, and secondly I’d never call you any of that!”

I watched his head tilt back, laughter falling from his open lips, I couldn’t help but join him in laughing, bumping my shoulder against his. We squable some more as we walk to the cafe, chatting and laughing together. My fingers curl around his hand dragging him towards the hidden cafe, it was magical, all vines and old wood, pastel flowers poking from between the green, fairy lights strung up over head. Freshly brewed coffee and fragrant pastries wafted towards us as we enter, my stomach grumbling loudly, my mouth watering at the smell, we settle down at a booth, soft leather cushioning us, lovely old wooden tables shined under our hands. We ordered quickly as the waitress came to our table, for me a hot chocolate he ordered a tea and an assortment of pastries for the both of us.

“Seongjun,” my voice was serious and low, his blue eyes focused on me filled with worry, “give me your hands and my bag.” 

He did so with no words, he laid both hands on the table in front of me, bruised and scabbed, my fingers reaching into my bag, plucking out a small jar and a few small bandaids. I gently take his hand into mine, smearing the sweet smelling salve over his knuckles, rubbing them in small circles, I repeat on his next hand, cute band aids soon cover his hands, pink hearts and strawberry themed. Without thinking my lips pressed against his injuries, kissing each knuckle tenderly, my eyes flicked up to watch him, pale skin was burning a deep red, his bottom lip taken between his teeth, warm blue eyes meet my own, they swirled with warmth and something else, I lean my cheek against his palm softly.

“Now, they’ll heal faster,” i murmur.

A cheerful bubbly voice tears me from my trance, my body jerks backwards, hands lingering on his for a moment longer before pulling away somewhat reluctantly. 

“Oh my! What an adorable young couple,” the older woman places the drinks and dishes between us, she claps her hands together happily, “you two remind me of me and my husband in our youth! Make sure to come here often, for such a sweet couple we’ll always keep our best pastries, let me take care of you!”

I smile at her nodding quickly, “We’ll try to come back everyday, thank you so much!”

She walks away quickly humming a cheerful tune, I turn back to joon, his eyes were on me again as he sipped his drink, warmth bloomed at my cheeks as I scooped up a pastry, I bit into it letting out a soft noise at the taste, sweet and buttery. 

“Omg! You have to try this, it's wonderful!” I mutter happily, bring the pastry up to his lips, his large band aid covered hand cupping my own as he took a small bite, his tongue flicking over his bottom lip collecting the flakes of pastry that had crumbled off.

“She’s right, ya know, we would make an adorable couple,” he smirked, hand sliding down my arm before cupping my cheek, his thumb swiping the crumbs off my bottom lip, I lean against his palm.

“We’ve been best friends for years, are you sure you’re ready to make this leap? Dating?” I wanted it, truly I did but did he?

“Yes,” his voice was soft, “I don’t think, I’ve wanted something more in my life.”

I nod, turning my head to press a kiss to his wrist, “let’s be together, but let’s take it slow, i don’t want to rush anything and possibly mess what we have up.”

I let out a soft yelp as he squeezed my cheek between his strong fingers, his hand slid to my chin holding my face in place as he leaned in, warm lips pressing against my cheek.

“Here, now it will heal faster.”

[spaceyflowerswriting]

I was contemplating if I should send in a request so if you are too busy or school has started then please ignore this but ....if not then...can I ask for a fic or one-shot or whatever (I don't really know the difference) of Taehun and Seongjoon's s/o reassuring them about their relationship with them(the boys). Maybe something happened or the boys have been over thinking about why their s/o is with them when they could be with other better people. Things like that....

TAEHUN

He was famous for being overly jealous and not at the same time--that was Taehun's thing. The catch was he was only jealous about petty things.

Exhibit A: glaring at anyone who expressed interest in you, even if it was in the most completely platonic way.

Honestly though, even that was kind of an act. A neverending joke, if you could call it that. It was just funny embarrassing you when he acted overbearing by blurting out he was your boyfriend or being overly touchy with you to express that he was your boyfriend.

Point was, he was too confident in himself and you to have any insecurities that would fester into feeling unsure about the relationship between the both of you.

"So why the HELL have I been feeling weird lately?" His million dollar question of the week. For reasons unknown (or unacknowledged...) by himself, he had been bothered by words he overheard you telling a friend of yours the other day.

"I wish my boyfriend was as nice as them."

They were words he easily laughed at and brushed aside at the time, yet they've been lingering in his mind. It wasn't as if it was the first time he heard you say something like that, which made it even more confusing for him. Now that he thought about it though, maybe it was the fact that he overheard you say it.

It was different when you were saying it in front of him because it easily came off as a joke, but behind his back...? He had to admit your tone was lighthearted, but still. Maybe you meant it more knowing he wasn't around? Does that even make sense...?

He grumbled and ruffled his hair up before leaning back on the couch. Before he could shut his eyes, the sound of your voice made him turn his head.

"What're you upset about today, huh?"

"Mind your business," he huffed, moving to wrap an arm around your shoulders as you joined him on the couch. "Where have you been, anyway?"

"I was helping your dad outside with some stuff?"

"Oh."

The abrupt end to the conversation resulted in an awkward silence, but it didn't take long to melt into a comfortable one as you both went on to do your own things. You busied yourself with your phone and Taehun just tried to enjoy your presence. Occasionally he glanced down at your screen and asked what you were doing, or you would start small talk.

It was nice, but not enough to dismiss Taehun's thoughts. He figured maybe he was overthinking and spending time with you would reassure him of your feelings for him, yet the words, "I wish my boyfriend was as nice as them," continued to circle in his mind.

"This is stupid."

"Hm?" You looked up at him, eyes full of innocence.

Taehun stared into them for a moment, as if there was an answer for his question in your eyes, and then sighed after finding nothing. He just pulled you in a little closer and laid his head on top of yours.

Confused, some fumbled words came out of your mouth before you managed to say, "If something's bothering you, you can tell me, you know."

"Yeah, but how do I say it without getting fucking embarrassed?" Red was already beginning to color in Taehun's cheeks. He only forced himself to reply after you nudged him with an elbow.

"I'm nice to you, right?" Yikes. That came out all wrong. What the hell kind of question was that?

"Uh..." Understandably, you became even more confused. "Yeah?"

Well, since Taehun already put a start on this thing, he decided he'd keep moving forward--he'd just have to hope he didn't crash and burn.

After a quick few seconds of thinking, he replied, "Okay, but if I..." He grit his teeth, hating the cringe he was feeling towards himself crawl up his spine. "Ever make you mad. Or sad. You have to tell me."

You went quiet and now dread began to fill Taehun up. He was being as vague as possible, there was no way you were connecting the dots.

"No way... is THE Taehun Seong worried about being too mean?"

Great, you didn't connect the dots, but also damn you for still teasing him.

He pulled away to frown at you. "Shut up, I'm being serious."

You laughed and moved to give his cheek a peck. "Relax, I know. And don't worry, if you ever upset me--" On the same place you kissed his cheek, you gave it a pinch and he squinted an eye. "--I'll let you know. Otherwise, you don't have to feel bad. I know most of what you say isn't meant to be taken personally." The soft smile on your face turned into a grin. "Besides, if I couldn't stand it, why would I date your rude-ass?"

Those few words were all Taehun needed to get his weighted worries off his shoulders and suddenly he felt stupid worrying about something so small. Well, he thought it was stupid in the first place, but you were really solidifying the feeling.

He couldn't help but laugh at himself. Fortunately, it made sense to in the conversation as well so you hummed along, and he was content to roll with it.

But first he gave you a kiss and then proceeded to ignore any of your questions for the reasoning behind it.

~

SEONGJUN

Jealousy was a rare feeling for someone like Seongjun. After all, what could a man as rich, powerful, and smart as him have to be jealous of? Even seeing you spend time with other people never made him blink an eye. Who was he to stop you from hanging out with the people you wanted to, anyway?

Yes, indeed, he was a good man and a good lover.

To you, at least.

Ironically, that was the same thing that haunted him. Outside of you, he wasn't sure anyone else who knew him personally would call him... nice. Because he wasn't.

He had already wrestled with what little good his heart had left, so that wasn't what bothered him. He mostly made peace with who he was now and who he wanted to be, it was just when it came to you that he felt a little unsteady.

Changing such a major part of himself for someone wasn't something he feel like he'd do, no matter how much he loved the person. Thus, the heavy choice fell to you.

It was your decision, whether or not to stay with someone with hands as stained as his. He wouldn't blame you if you left, the same way he questioned why you stayed. He just knew he was gently holding your hand, and you were holding his in response.

Hand in loving hand. For now. Mostly. Maybe?

Every once in a while, doubt clouded his vision and he wasn't sure he could feel your hand. Some days he loosened his grip, thinking, "Today's the day they come to their senses and leave me." Other days he comfortably held on, eased by the warmth from your hand.

But sometimes even that wasn't enough, and now was one of those times.

He hated how his stomach churned as he watched you finish up one last conversation with a coworker on his way to pick you up from your workplace. He hated how he couldn't even be mad, because you had gotten so close to your coworker, even he got to know the person a little and they were genuinely really nice. Much, much nicer than him.

Walking home with you, holding your hand, he couldn't help but think you would be better off with your coworker. Safe and comfortable, with someone more normal. Hell, it didn't have to be your coworker, just someone like them.

"Is this jealousy...?" Seongjun shook his head. "No, it's more like... insecurity. A really pathetic and self pitying feeling of insecurity." He sighed, immediately regretting it when you turned to raise a brow at him.

"Something the matter?"

He plastered on a smile, but you saw through it too easily and frowned. "It's nothing--"

"Come on, you know you're not very good at hiding things from me."

Seongjun paused for a moment before chuckling and looking off to the side. He hummed, trying to see how long he could derail the conversation. It wasn't that long, unfortunately. Still, he hesitated before clearing his throat to make sure he could sound as lighthearted as possible before asking, "Promise you won't make fun of me?"

"Promise," you replied in a singsong voice.

He laughed a little, though it trailed off and became awkward. "Well... I think I might be jealous."

Not exactly the truth, but it was the best way he could communicate his feelings without being too honest. He wasn't sure he was ready for that kind of conversation yet, and it would definitely be better to have behind closed doors, not in a public space.

You gasped somewhat playfully. "Of my coworker?"

"Wow, right on the first guess~" Seongjun was still trying his best to keep the conversation light.

"Aw, you're so cute!" you cooed, making him feign a bit of anger.

"Hey, you said you wouldn't make fun of me."

You only hummed in amusement. "I know, but I couldn't help it." You gave him a grin and batted your eyes. "May I politely ask why you're jealous?"

Seongjun thinned his lips. "I just think... that your coworker is nice." You tilted your head at him, prompting him for more details. It took a few tense seconds before he eventually got himself to add, "Wouldn't you want to be with them instead of someone like me?"

The tense seconds came back except they were longer and more stressful because the silence was now coming from you. Seongjun glanced your way, caught by surprise to see you staring intently at him. Almost as if you were seeing right through his current act, and it nearly made him feel ashamed. He tried to stay strong anyway, and smiled at you.

You reflected the expression back, but it looked a little sad. After giving his hand a little squeeze, you said, "You know I'd never want to be with anyone else than you, Seongjun. I believe you'll always be someone I'll love."

He let out a breathy chuckle, unable to hide the bitterness in it. "And what if one day I stop being that person?"

"We'll cross that bridge when we get to it." A simple and straightforward answer, but full of love. "Don't worry about 'what ifs' and just focus on our happy present. If you don't stop worrying, you'll only give yourself gray hairs."

Seongjun nearly stopped in his tracks in surprise at your sincerity. The joke at the end made his smile grow into a more genuine one and he ended up just laughing. His heart was swelling and he didn't know what he could ever say or do to express how happy he was to have you in his life.

So, for now, he just leaned in to give you a kiss, not caring about what anyone around would think.

More than 92,000 solar panels in the shape of plum blossoms, floating on the surface of a reservoir in #SouthKorea, offer a vision of how land-scarce developed nations can overcome local resistance to giant renewable-energy projects. The 17 giant flowers on the 12-mile-long reservoir in the southern county of #Hapcheon are able to generate 41 megawatts, enough to power 20,000 homes, according to Hanwha Solutions, which built the plant. It’s one of the biggest floating solar plants in the world, and it’s in a nation that has been a laggard in adopting renewable energy, even though South Korea’s industrialized economy relies heavily on imported #fossilfuels. “South Korea needs a massive amount of renewable energy to meet its climate target, and floating solar can be a part of the solution,” because it faces less opposition from residents and doesn’t use land, says Kim Jiseok of Greenpeace Korea.
