LotR reread - book 3, chapter 1 - The Departure of Boromir

:(

The summary of Fellowship at the beginning is a nice touch. Really helped on my first read when I took a year between the books.

That title! It is... cunning, because it really does not tell you he's going to die - but when you know...

What is the... "great bird like an eagle" that Aragorn *perhaps* sees? It probably means something? But idk what.

Aragorn being uncertain what to do, saying "all I do goes amiss" etc more than once goes a long way towards humanising him -- without resorting to such tricks as the movies used, and with far better effect than the wishy-washy "oh, woe, I am the heir of Isildur, but I don't wanna be"

The death scene🥺

But it is beautiful too. And one of those Author Was Catholic™ moments.

"No! You have conquered." 🥺🥺🥺

"kissing his brow" 💗🥺

Brow kisses reign supreme. I don't know what I will do now that Lil Sis is getting to tall for me to comfortably do that. I had one thing in common with Aragorn! One thing.

Ooh, detailed descriptions of the knives from the Barrow-downs! They certainly sound very rich and splendid, I'd like to see them.

swart, slant-eyed If I don't see it, it doesn't exist

So! The eternal question. Does Sauron like the name he's known by? I'd not think a tyrant would be that bothered to be called the Abhorrent if it means people fear him, but apparently he is.

The Song *:･ﾟ✧

And Rauros, golden Rauros-falls bore him upon its breast...

𐙚 ‧ jeongmi ─── scenarios

╰ anon request: Your recent blog was so sweet!! It kinda shows us their relationship dynamic with each other. Maybe for another blog it could be “fan favorite moments” with them — ⭐️ anon

I 𝓲. I request ୨୧ jeonghan x oc

❪ 🏹  going seventeen  ❫ as always, going seventeen provides the viewer a comedic setting of seventeen and their idol personas. in this fic, you'll be able to read the jeongmi moments/cuts caught by carats. this is just a compilation of my favorite gose episodes 🥲 not proof-read 😞

﹙  INSOMNIA-ZERO I ﹚—  with seungcheol still in his hiatus, minji was the first person up and she had no clue what she was getting herself into. although there were a few remarks about her snarky behavior when she gets mad and her constant fights with s.coups, she had a clean slate. most of the members mentioned how she was quite literally their mother since they spent most, if not all, their time training. after her time was over, minji had left the mattress with a heartbeat of 98, which was not bad compared to the rest. minji handed jeonghan the heart monitor and sat herself next to wonwoo. 

as many might notice, the 95 line are quite stuck to the bone and minji was not afraid of spilling some secrets about jeonghan. the female member began talking about the "oppa" situation and jeonghan turned to the side trying to forget it. the members, who had already heard this story, continued it with jeonghan's prior remarks about how she would never have a clue. all of the chatter about the two later transferred to jeonghan's more devious plans towards the members; minji sat there in silence just montioring the members. once jeonghan's time was over, his first instinct was to look at the cause of the chaos: minji. 

"jeonghan-ah, remember. once your time is up, you can't defend yourself~"

[forced to be silent]

he gave her the stink eye and handed joshua the monitor. minji scooted to give him space, which he gladly took. the pair sat in silence for a while until he started to open his mouth about joshua. in the camera shots, you could see the small little heart eyes minji gave jeonghan whenever he spoke and would lean into him. it was the small signals that would drive shippers crazy.. though it would soon end after jeonghan was part of the three members that would go home early, minji being tied with another and turned her attention to joshua c:

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ 민지 ⠀𓍼⠀⠀⠀𝐉.⠀⠀⠀정한

﹙  TTT 2020 ﹚—  this was the "going seventeen" episode that basically comfirmed the dating rumors between these two. minji, jeonghan, hoshi, and woozi were all in the same car on their way to the rented house. while woozi and driver jeonghan were in the front seats, minji and soonyoung were in the back having fun and giggling to each other. this led to frequent checks from jeonghan through the rearview-mirror only to spot minji looking at him and smiling :3. at their stop to get food, the "woozi cam" captured the pair walking together with jeonghan's arm around her. during the cuts of them eating, a slight drunk minji was basically all up on jeonghan. it got so worse the editors had to cut so much of the footage. 

while being on the losing team during foot-volleyball, minji made her way to the alcohol stand where her worst enemy laid, the vodka mix. offering to drink the member's shots, minji knew she wouldn't remember a thing tomorrow. before she started her third shot, jeonghan looked at her questionably and asked if she was okay doing this. 

"are you sure you're going to be okay? i don't want you throwing up on me later tonight."

"relax babe, i'll be fine! i used to go band for band when i was a teenager, it'll be alright~~"

[. . . . “babe”?]

noticing her slipup of the word "babe", jeonghan knew it was too late. the members just stared at her and hoped it wouldn't make it to the final cut (it did). though like the self-proclaimed pro she is, she raised the shot glass to her lips and threw her head back. the bitter aftertaste of whatever was in that container had left her feeling a little silly, which had meant the real fun had started to begin.

joining soonyoung in the fanatic drunks is minji. as stated before, minji becomes up and personal with the people around her when drunk. although she may have a high alcohol tolerance (thanks to her underage drinking), minji's affections become more and more affectionate when drinking way too much. 

during this time, minji and jeonghan were first beginning their relationship and they did not want to be exposing it right away to the cameras; but pair minji + alcohol and you get a mess that is quite hard to clean up. after she had made dinner, she sat between jeonghan and seungcheol. many fans point out the difference in actions done by the two men. jeonghan was basically minji's headrest and seungcheol was just there to balance her out. 

"hannie.. you look so pretty today.. like a cloud.."

"minji-ah, leave that poor man alone.."

"coups.. you look handsome too.."

coups + mizu + han + shua = the poly couple idc argue w the wall

the day after constant drinking and singing, minji was pretty much hung over #she threw up and spent most of her day taking things slow, especially when cleaning up the kitchen… moving into the car was the best thing she could’ve done. with hoshi taking the driver’s role on the way back, the '95 duo were left in the backseats and spent their time resting (cuddling eachother too bruh).

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ 민지 ⠀𓍼⠀⠀⠀𝐉.⠀⠀⠀정한

﹙  AB-LIB GOING COMPANY ﹚—  the first ‘gose’ episode after the news of the couple… so let’s say the members didn’t quite hold back. starting off with the ceo and the employee relationship ..

[before minji enters (on standby with the "foreign department")]

“have you guys heard the rumor?” seungcheol starts while leaning in to talk with the rest of the ‘employees’. some of them shook their head and leaned in to hear.

“supposedly the ceo and mizuki.. are dating.” seungkwan revealed it. “but that’s just a rumor..”

“isn’t that nepotism?”

“hyung.. that’s when your born into the company..”

minji’s reaction, while on standby, was just her eye-rolling at what they were doing. though as soon as minghao, jun, and vernon started walking towards the rest of the ‘employees’, she followed them.

[staff chwe hansol, doi mizuki, wen junhui, xu minghao come to work]

“oh! good morning mizuki!” seungkwan smiled as he spoke as if he wasn’t talking about her a second ago.

“good morning seungkwan, how’s the research going?”

“research about what…?” minji smiled about his inital confusion and began her snarky comment.

“about my relationship with the ce-”

[ceo yoon jeonghan comes to work]

though she was cut off by jeonghan’s entrance, she just closed her mouth and stayed quiet. after embarking in the classic “content is power!” “sleep when you’re dead!” chants, the day went pretty eventful. not much was spoken about the ongoing question at hand but that was until jeonghan stirred the pot.

“let’s see who hasn’t spoken in a while.” jeonghan scanned the room to which he laid eyes on her scribbling down doodles. “ah, mizuki.. why don’t you share what’s on your notepad?”

seungcheol, who was across from her, snickered then later shook due to the ‘coldness’. minji smiled, stood up, and cleared her throat. “well, it says i’ll like to go home.”

[not taking her job seriously.. pure silence]

“great! everyone clap!” jeonghan replied after a few seconds of silence and everyone had followed through.

“what a guy.. only excusing her just because they’re dating..”

“this has to be corruption..”

﹙  THE TRUMAN SHOW OF MR. SVT’S WE LIVE ALONE ﹚—  placed into a small room was seungcheol, minji, jeonghan, wonwoo, and seokmin. they were all commentating and watching the “everyday life” of mr. svt, mingyu. soon enough minji’s turn would begin as the new “mr. svt”.

[a good morning for the new mr. svt]

with an airpod in one ear, she knew it wouldn’t end well, especially with that devil in that room as well. the female made her way towards the kitchen to figure out a small snack. although she had eaten prior to the shoot, she thought of her members first.

“make some beef and noodles, minji-ah” seungcheol’s voice spoke within the airpod. minji, in order to pretend she didn’t hear it, thought about what to make for lunch.

“hmm.. beef and noodles seem good right now. i should start making some before my time is gone.”

[4th wall breaker]

as she began getting the ingredients, she paid no attention to the conversation in her ear. though on the other side, the members were complimenting her cooking skills.

“wah, i know it’s going to taste good. who’s next after her?” mingyu asked the question that was lingering in everyone’s mind.

“s.coups is next so he’ll be eating whatever is left..” jeonghan replied as he sighed.

minji, who didn’t want to disappoint her boyfriend, started to placed more beef into the frying pan. she smiled and spoke out loud: “i’ll make more meat for hannie and the rest.”

[thoughtful girlfriend and member]

“oooh~~” seokmin pushed jeonghan slightly at the words that came from her mouth. “don’t pretend to be coy!”

jeonghan became silent for a while, looking down and smiling.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ 민지 ⠀𓍼⠀⠀⠀𝐉.⠀⠀⠀정한

﹙  CHRISTMAS IN AUGUST II ﹚—  the episode loaded into with jeonghan in the middle of the set, using his food coupon. minji walked in with the rest of the members and managed to stand behind him. placing her arms around him, she whispered in his ear and to which he nodded. circling in the spaghetti with his utensils, he raised it up to her mouth and the female gladly to the bite.

[special privileges]

“wow.. you give her some but it’s the end of the world if you give us any bite huh?” dino spoke as he looked in disbelief.

“yah, she asked me politely. what type of man am i to deny her?”

minji just smiled and listened to the chaos she created. after the rules were explained once again, christmas in august had already begun (even if it wasn't even august 😞). she had small knowledge of horror games and the female would only play them with friends or family. considering this was a one time thing, minji didn’t mind at all. choosing the room that was the least scary led her to be in the room with seokmin, who immediately embraced her.

[a motherly aura enters]

“minji-noona~~ i’m so glad we’re together.” seokmin says as she sits down beside him.

“i was so scared, i didn’t want to choose a room that was all alone.” minji replies as she looks around the dark and empty room. in-front of them laid the gaming computer and she knew it wasn’t going to be an easy game.

after a while, the door opened once again and this time jeonghan entered. both seokmin and minji sighed in relief.

“a-yo, a-yo” jeonghan said as he broke up the silence within the room.

“i’m relieved you’re here” seokmin spoke as he motioned him to sit down.

[not lonely]

“i’m a spy”

“don’t lie” minji warned, she had enough of his shenanigans already.

“okay~~”

“just sit down and be quiet”

[jeonghan joins room 4]

after making jeonghan stay, they all waited for the next member to arrive.

“s.coups?” seokmin question as he saw a figure walk in.

“it’s s.coups? what is this?” jeonghan spoke as him and seokmin grabbed s.coups by the shoulders leading him towards the chairs.

[a full room: three ‘95s, and one ‘98]

“yay~~ it’s coups!! we’ll definitely beat whatever game we’re going to get” minji replied as she got up and hugged him.

“this is why i didn’t want to come.. to where you, seokmin, and jeonghan were” seungcheol finally spoke as he leaned away from the affections.

[sensitive eardrums]

minji pouted in response and got off of him, “you’re no fun at all.”

after the complaints, the group managed to make it throughout the game with barely any problems. although minji had barely touched the mouse and keyboard, she still managed to give in her in-put of where to go. though all that carats could see was her hiding behind jeonghan during the more graphic and intense scenes.

Can we get Ming in the TTT where the members were on vacation and were drunk? The one where Hoshi kept kissing DK?

thank you so much for the request, I loved writing this one! and my apologies that it took me a while to post it!

lots of love, jenny :)

EP.44 TTT #1 (Hypperrealism Ver.)

''Yerim-ah, do you want anything from the grocery shop?'' Joshua asked her, looking at her from across the table.

She shook her head. ''No, I don't need anything specific.'' She answered him, with an appreciative smile.

''I think we're ready to leave then.'' Coups announced and all the members got up from their chairs, ready to head to the cars.

Ming was slightly behind all the members, visibly looking for something. Wonwoo noticed and waited for her.

''What are you looking for, Ming-ah?'' He asked her, confused as to what she was desperately searching for.

''My sunglasses, I thought I brought them with me.'' Ming was sure she had taken them with her.

Wonwoo chuckled. ''They're in the car, you asked me to put them there, so you wouldn't forget them.'' He clarified for her.

''Aaaah~'' She remembered then. Ming can be quite forgetful so before they made their way around the table, she had quickly asked Wonwoo if he could put her sunglasses in the car, which he had done.

He laughed at the girl's forgetfulness. ''Come on, let's go.'' He stretched out his arm and she grabbed it.

When they arrived at their assigned car, they saw Vernon and Minghao patiently waiting for them. Ming opened the car door and got in next to Vernon.

''I bet you were looking for these.'' Vernon said, while holding her sunglasses in his hand. She grabbed them from him and put them in her bag.

Minghao was on his phone, searching for the route since he was the driver. ''It's really far, it takes an hour and 40 minutes.'' He said, in a not so excited tone.

''Le-le-le-le- let's get it!'' Wonwoo said, contrasting Minghao's tone, while connecting his phone to the radio.

Minghao began to drive and the four members were on their way. ''Let's go!''

''My mood's getting better now that we've departed.'' Wonwoo tells the members, while looking out the window.

Minghao chimed in. ''Good~ I've been in a good mood since this morning, it's because it's been a long time since we hung out by ourselves and having a birthday party with everybody here together is a bit worrying in itself.'' He smiled.

''I started getting excited when I began packing.'' Vernon added, although he had only packed a charger.

''Kind of like going on a field trip?'' Wonwoo looked behind him at Vernon.

Vernon chuckled. ''SVT is a field trip 24/7, 365 days of the year.'' Ming laughed at his answer. ''That's true.''

''Are you excited, Yerim-ie?'' Minghao asked her, looking through the rearview mirror at her.

She nodded her head. ''Yesss~''

''You look cute today, I'm happy you still have the blond hair.'' He smiled. ''Yeah, I was only going to keep it for the shooting of the music video, but carats seemed to like it very much, so I'll keep it for this filming as well.'' She explained, putting her hair in a bun.

''Wonwoo-oppa, can you play 'Together'? I want to listen to it.'' She asked him. He didn't say anything, but he complied with her request.

She smiled at him. ''Thank youuu~'' Ming grabbed her phone and opened her camera, turning the lens to her, so she could see herself.

''Woah, I do look really cute today.'' She muttered to herself. Vernon was the only one that heard, giving the girl a chuckle.

[Self-awareness is important]

Ming started taking some selca's of herself, from various angles, some very ridiculous ones. She also took some very high angle ones, trying to get her whole outfit in the picture. She send some of the pictures to their groupchat.

Vernon finally took a look at his friend next to him and he was not having it. ''Guys, Yerim's doing a thirst trap next to me.''

[Not a fan]

Wonwoo quickly looked behind him at Yerim and Minghao once again looked at her through the rearview mirror. The both of them started laughing at the girl's antics.

[Loving fans]

''I'm not doing that, you snitch.'' She countered Vernon, giving him a (joking) glare. ''Yes, you were, you were going like this.'' Vernon copied the way she was taking pictures of herself, in result his arm got slapped by her.

''Kids, no fighting!'' Wonwoo scolded them, although he was smiling from ear to ear watching the two youngest bicker with each other.

[Responsible oldest]

They had been driving for a good hour, when Wonwoo came up with a suggestion. ''Since it's okay for us to be slightly late, should we enjoy the sea a bit?'' He suggesed to the other members, deviating from the original plans to just drive straight to their sleeping location.

''It's like we're here to enjoy the sea until we get sick of it.'' Vernon said. ''We just came here on a personal trip.'' Minghao added.

He parked the car and the members started unbuckling their seatbelts. ''This is so nice and comfy.'' Vernon commented on the trip. ''That's right, it's like a healing trip.'' Ming agreed with him. She put on her coat and grabbed her handbag and she got out of the car.

Ming went to walk next to Wonwoo and she noticed him pulling out his camera. ''Are you gonna film us?'' She asked him, curiously.

He looked at her and back to his camera. ''Yeah, we can get some nice footage that way.''

They walked around for a bit, until they stumbled upon this garden-like place.

''This is so funny.'' Wonwoo said, while filming the three members. ''Why?'' Ming asked him, kind of confused at the sudden reaction. ''This is going to be completely different from the other teams.'' He clarified for her.

''I think it's only possible because it's the four of us.'' Minghao commented, looking at them.

[Free-willed group]

The four members walked more through the place, fairly enjoying their time. ''We should take some pictures here, it's nice.'' Ming told them.

They all looked at Wonwoo who was holding the camera. ''We can do that.'' He put the camera down on the ground, for a wide shot, so the camera could capture their little photoshoot.

Minghao put his phone next to the Wonwoo's camera. ''It looks like we're filming a TikTok.'' Ming commented, finding the angle funny.

[A common camera angle on TikTok]

The four members start posing in front of the camera. ''You have to keep moving.'' Minghao instructed them. They did a few more poses and they headed back to the car.

[As long as you guys are happy]

-

[Vernon, Ming, Wonwoo and The8 have arrived]

''Here it is'' They had arrived at the place where they would spent the night. Minghao parked the car and the four of them grabbed their stuff and they got out of the car.

From where they were standing, they could see some of the members had already arrived and were doing karaoke.

[The karaoke room is a hot place]

Minghao and Ming started swaying their arms, even though they couldn't hear clearly what song Hoshi and Dokyeom were singing. She could see Woozi and Hoshi swaying their arms too, as soon as they saw them standing outside.

They went inside the place and greeted the other members. ''Yah! Yerim! What were those pictures?'' Chan stood up from the couch, once he saw his friend, referring to the ones that she sent to their groupchat.

''What do you mean?'' She asked him, having a small smirk present on her face.

He approached her and put his hand on her shoulder. ''They were ugly.'' He said, with a huge sarcastic smile on his face. Ming clapped back, immediately. ''You're ugly.'' She copied the smile on his face and she put her arm on his shoulder.

[Everyone, they do love each other]

''You want to know something funny?'' Chan switched the topic. Ming nodded at him, very curious. He got closer to her and whispered in her ear. ''Hoshi-hyung is drunk.''

Ming looked behind him, to see the performance leader sing his heart out at the karaoke machine. She looked back at Chan and the two maknaes started giggling like two toddlers.

-

Meanwhile, the shopping team (Coups, Joshua and Seungkwan) were at the grocery store.

''Hyung!'' Seungkwan yelled, not to a specific member. Coups heard it and approached him. ''Yes?''

He showed the leader the chocolate cookies that Ming used to eat a lot when she was a trainee. She always made the older trainees buy them for her.

''Doesn't Ming-ie like these?'' Seungkwan looked at Coups. The leader answered with a nod and took the pack of cookies from him and put them in their shopping cart. ''She'll be happy with those.''

[Always thinking about their maknae]

-

''Guys, the other members are here, but there's too much stuff, so we have to help them!'' Jeonghan loudly announced, so everyone could hear him.

All the members go down to the car with all of the groceries, to help the other three members. Ming walked a bit slower, with the hope that by the time she got to the car, all the groceries would be gone.

''Yerim-ah, just grab the last box.'' Coups told her, noticing the girl's action. She saw the box with the bags of chips and grabbed it, moving it upstairs.

The members were emptying the boxes, when Seungkwan called her name. ''Kim Yerim!''

She looked over at him, totally confused. ''What?''

''Look what we got you!'' He motioned for her to stand next to him. She got up from her chair and went over to the main vocalist.

He held up the pack of chocolate cookies and she gasped loudly. ''OH MY GOD I LOVE YOU!!'' She gave Seungkwan a big hug, which he happily returned.

[Queen of reactions]

''Hey! I put it in the cart!'' Coups sulked as he watched the two of them hugging.

[Sulky leader]

Ming let go of Seungkwan and took some quick steps to the leader, also giving him a big hug. Coups' pout turned into a cute smile, as the youngest hugged him.

[Happy leader]

She pulled away from Coups and looked towards where Joshua was sitting, but he was focused on his phone, so she left him alone.

-

''Aren't we going to play foot volleyball?'' Seungkwan suggested to the members, standing outside already.

All of the members except Vernon, made their way outside.

''So the team that loses each have a shot and leave!'' Coups explained the rules of the game.

Coups, Joshua, Minghao and Seungkwan are the first ones to go up against Jeonghan, Hoshi, Wonwoo and Woozi.

After some questionable playing from Hoshi, his team loses and they had to take the shots and leave the field, so the next team can play against the winners. The next team is Jun, Dokyeom, Mingyu and Chan.

''Yerim-ie, you want to switch with me?'' Joshua offered to her. Ming had been quietly watching the members on the side.

She shook her head. ''No, it's okay, you can play.'' She dismissed, but Joshua got off the playing field and made his way over to where she was sitting.

''Come on, you go play, I'm tired anyway.'' He pulled her up her feet and gave her a little push to her teammates.

Seungkwan gave Minghao and Ming a quick lesson on how to properly serve the ball.

''Seungkwan, we are just trying to have fun!'' Chan yelled from the other side, trying to provoke him a little.

For most of the game, Ming just kind of stood awkwardly to the side, scared to do anything, since she's on a team with competitive Coups and Seungkwan.

At one point the ball lands in front of Ming and she was able to succesfully pass the ball to Coups. ''Yerim's good, right?'' Jeonghan complimented her, giving her some motivation.

Jeonghan kept giving her these kinds of compliments, trying to keep her energy up. ''Oh, Ming's so good!'' Even Woozi joined him at one point. ''Nice, Yerim!''

''Yerim-ah, try to serve.'' Coups encouraged her, once their team had to do the serve. He handed the ball to her.

She wasn't too sure about it, but did it anyway. It ended up not being the best shot, but it got over the net which is the most important part. ''Okay, Yerim's good!'' Her personal cheerleader, Jeonghan, made a return.

Their team ends up winning again and the other team has to take their shots. Jeonghan held up both of his hands and Ming high-fived him. ''You did so well!'' He told her, giving her a quick hug.

''Yerim-ah, come here, have a drink.'' Woozi held up a shot glass for her to take. She took it from him. ''Thanks.'' She drank it in one go and put the glass back on the table.

She heard giggles next to her. Ming looked to her side and saw Mingyu sneakily watching her. ''What is it?'' She asked him, confused as to what he was giggling about. ''I didn't think you were gonna drink.'' He answered her, still slightly laughing. She furrowed her eyebrows. ''Why?'' Mingyu took another shot, before answering her. ''I thought you were gonna think about your image.'' She laughed at his reply. ''I stopped caring once I saw Hoshi-oppa drunk.''

The members decided to start preparing dinner and were discussing who was going to help make the food. Ming tapped Woozi's shoulder, who was standing in front of her. He turned around and Ming pointed at the door, suggesting they leave so they don't have to help.

The two of them look around at the other members, seeing that they are focused listening to Jeonghan, they make their way inside the house. They started silently laughing, thinking they were so subtle with their little escape.

Fun fact, they were not subtle at all. Most of the members had noticed, but were either too out if it to say something or they just didn't want to interrupt the two members' fun.

Woozi and Ming were heading to the karaoke machine, when a voice stopped them. ''What are you two doing?''

They turned around and saw their leader standing there, with his hands on his hips. Het was trying to look stern, bit that totally failed.

"We're gonna do karaoke, you want to join?'' Woozi answered him, gesturing to the karaoke machine.

Coups looked behind him at some of the other members, who were helping with the food. "It seems that there are already enough people making dinner," he looked conflicted, "oh, why not?" He followed the two younger members of the karaoke machine.

Woozi grabbed the mic and Coups grabbed the controller so he can choose the songs. Ming took a seat on the sofa and the two members joined her after taking the necessary stuff.

Coups was looking through the songs, when Wonwoo joined them. ''They are already preparing a meal, apparently.'' He set himself on the small bench, by the arcade machine.

''I'm not hungry at all for real.'' Coups told them. ''Same, I had too much Kalguksu before.'' Woozi agreed with him.

''The top charts at karaoke hasn't changed at all.'' Woozi said, while Coups scrolled through the top karaoke songs. Their leader chose a song and starts it. ''Let's get it.'' The song he had chosen was 'Thorn' by Buzz, a real classic.

As Woozi is beautifully singing the song, Wonwoo and Ming harmonize with him. They don't sing along with him too loud, as to not overshine him.

More members start to join them as the time passes by, even Vernon who Ming assumed had died, by the way he had been absent most of the night.

''Okay, let's get something to eat.''

For TTT: being roommates with Jason and having sexual tension but he’s too scared to make the first move so you decide to walk around the house naked and see what happens (yes I took that from a movie)

Jason Todd did not do well with tension. And the tension in the apartment was so thick he could cut it with a knife.

It left him feeling raw, aided and abetted by the fact that you were, somehow, everything he wanted- and didn't think he deserved.

He spent nights trying to muffle the moans as he tried to get relief. Any relief, wondering how you would feel- if you'd sound as pretty for him as you did for the odd one-night stand.

The longing had started with those late-night confessions. Drinking beer and sitting on the roof. The city rolled out in front of you, diced into neat segments. Your breath freezing in the air as you spoke- pondering life in a way that felt easier at 3am. The shine of the city lights in your eyes and the way your laugh chased away the chill. The way you touched him so casually.

A hug. A hand held. A punch aimed at his arm, just hard enough to make a noise when he rated the performance of the lover he'd caught you with.

What started as a longing was now a need. A desperate need he didn't know how to sate.

And he was trying not to think about it as he sat at the kitchen table, trying. And failing. To get lost in the book he was reading. He could hear you, rattling around. Singing to yourself like you do when you're happy.

"I take it the dick was good," he snorted, cringing to himself when he realized how bitter he sounded.

A soft non-committal noise is the only answer he gets, and when a shadow crosses over the table, he glances up. Ready to see you glaring at him. But that's not what he gets. Bare skin. The lush, plump swell of your ass that keeps him awake at night, thinking about sinking his teeth into it like the ripe flesh of a sun-warmed peach is walking away from him. And he can't breathe.

His cock throbs and it takes all of his effort not to groan. You're singing again. Something sweet and lilting. Off key, just slightly. A tiny little tremor here and there. But you don't look at him as you tidy up. Folding blankets and picking up charger cords and random books that were strewn about. "Y/N-" he croaks, not sure what he wants to say.

"Yes?" you answer, turning to face him, lips parted.

He can't help it. His eyes drift down. Drinking you in and he burns. His eyes finally settled on your breasts. Pretty, pebbled nipples- made more prominent by nipple rings, little bumblebees on the ends. He knew you were pierced- he'd seen the outlines through your shirts a dozen times. But bees? Somehow that little detail made him smile.

"Bumble bees?" he asked smirking.

"They're cute," you hum, your voice trembling under the intensity of his regard.

"Got any other cute jewelry in?" he asked, pushing his book away and standing up.

"Maybe," you answer, standing still. Waiting for him to close the gap. For him to take the invitation you're offering- praying that he does and you won't have to move just to escape the awkwardness. Hoping you hadn't grossly overestimated things.

But when lips crush yours and his tongue slides into your mouth, hungry hands kneading into your ass faster than you thought possible- you don't have any more time to think.

2023 Dive Into Aquaplus

After having been into Utawarerumono for well over a decade, and having one foot into Tears to Tiara for the longest of time as well, I decided to finally take the plunge this year to try a variety of Aquaplus' very colorful catalogue.

I got into Utawarerumono a long, long time ago, back when the 2006 anime adaption of it was still airing. At the time, my like of it was mostly superficial. I was still a kid, and I just liked the aesthetics of it. I only started watching it because the name was long and nonsense to me who didn't know a lick of JP at the time. But it stuck with me as it was one of the first few anime I had started watching as it was airing in Japan and subbed. It also introduced me to Suara, who my love for has been anything but superficial.

If it weren't for the 2015 anime adaption of Utawarerumono Itsuwari no Kamen, it may have just stayed as a memory of aesthetics. A few episodes into its airing, I had a strong urge to buy the game, and so I asked for it for Christmas. I was never the same since.

While waiting for the release of Utawarerumono Futari no Hakuoro later in 2016, I got my hands on Tears to Tiara 2 to try and fill the void. I had previously seen the Tears to Tiara anime back in 2009 while it was airing, as I had immediately recognized the art as being similar to Utawarerumono. Looking it up I learned it was from the same company, and Amazuyu had also worked on some of the designs for it as well.

Unfortunately, the game was incredibly difficult for someone like me who is terrible at strategy games, and the writing didn't manage to hook me early on, so I ended up putting the game on hold indefinitely about 10 hours in. At some point in 2017 I picked up the remake of the first game, Tears to Tiara Kakan no Daichi, and really loved it. It still wouldn't be until this year though that I fully threw myself into the Tears to Tiara franchise.

Fast forward to 2023, through various Utaware phases and burnouts, and the release of Monochrome Mobius: Rights and Wrongs Forgotten along with the 3rd anniversary event in the Utawarerumono Lost Frag mobile game re-igniting my mood for the series at the tail end of 2022, I finally decide that this year is the time to make due on my desire to play more Aquaplus titles.

Tears to Tiara II: Heir of the Overlord

Seven years after my first attempt, I finally went back to this in January and finally completed it. My issues from my first attempt never really went away, however the writing managed to hook me around chapter 5, and I had a lot more enjoyment with the OST and various small things now that I had actually experienced the first game, and not just the anime. The uses of Until and Tears to Tiara 凱歌 will live in my head rent free until the end of time.

Tarte became not only my favorite TtT character, but maybe even my #1 Aquaplus favorite. ああっ女神さまっ…

This game got me to start paying attention to Honjou Tatami.

The nostalgia for the first TtT game wrecked me hard and I ended up replaying it right after.

Tears to Tiara: Kakan no Daichi

我が友よ

My Tears to Tiara mood was unstoppable, and so I finally bought its fandisc.

Tears to Tiara Gaiden - Avalon no Nazo

Nothing could have prepared me for the Lidia content in this game or the dragon stage straight from the ninth level of hell.

I still haven't recovered from the ending and the double whammy of realizing what the start of the OP is. The bastards really did it twice.

After this I went on a spree and bought all the LEs and the novels and manga... it is criminal how little supplementary material the games have, and how 2 has none. I have nothing to go on now but copium and offering my life to Marui Takeshi.

Tears to Tiara Gaiden 2 and Tears to Tiara 3 when.

Next, I played my first dating sim in 8~9 years, and a more obscure one at that.

Routes

You don't know what you're getting into until you've already beaten this game.

One of the more unique things I've experienced, to the point I don't know how to talk about it without spoiling it, and it is definitely a game best played blind. Quite possibly the most unique script-writing I've seen. The way the two scenario writers duties were split is one of the best uses of multiple writers that I've seen in a game.

The voice acting in this game is a masterpiece.

One thing I really love about both Routes and Tears to Tiara is the kind outlook on life they have.

I started this just before the Dungeon Travelers 2 series re-release and still have not touched those.

Next, I somehow ended up on one of their most famous.

White Album 2 ~Introductory Chapter~

Short, but emotionally loaded. After All ~Tsudzuru Omoi~ changed me as a person.

I started this one just a few days before the first White Album game's re-release because of course I did.

White Album 2 ~Closing Chapter~

One very charged, and very long work. I had to sit on it for quite a while after. I also binged all its supplemental material.

I haven't had a love/hate relationship with something this strong since, well, Inuyasha. You have issues, Maruto.

Kazusa Normal was a great route.

WHITE ALBUMの季節はまだまだこれからだよ。

White Album ~Tsuzurareru Fuyu no Omoide~

A little underwhelming, honestly. The way the gameplay and routes are structured makes the writing very fragmented. Had some nice moments, but overall I enjoyed the writing of Sayoko's route most, as it feels most coherent, likely due to it being added into the 2010 remake.

Despite the fragmented writing, I did like many of the heroines quite a bit.

White Album has been stuck in my head for months, and now the season for it is upon us...

And what would be most fitting to follow it up with another winter-related game, if not...

Tenshi no Inai 12-gatsu

It might be time to lay off the depresso games for a bit, as I had a hard time getting into this one. In a weird way it reminded me a lot of how screwed up my own mentality was when I was younger, and it's not something I cared to remember. I suppose it gets points for realistically depicting the unstable nature of the adolescent mind.

It had some interesting underlying themes, and I don't dislike the message of it, but I was unable to feel any investment in the heroines. I may have liked it more if the characters were a little more fleshed out.

I've only just beaten it, so I need to sit on my thoughts for it a little longer.

And then a special mention to none other than:

Utawarerumono Lost Frag

I finally picked this back up in November 2022, during it's 3rd anniversary event when they added Raikou. It's not every day you get an entire event dedicated to your only OTP in the series.

I got especially into it after my TtT marathon, and I've read most events, various character stories and a little of the main story. I always wanted to give it another chance, and I'm glad to have finally found something to pull me back into it. I really enjoy what it offers, from the expansions of various Utaware lore, to doing things only a social game really can. The event writing is out of this world.

It gave me 2 of the top 3 things I wanted to see for 7 years from the series now and I can only pray it delivers on the last someday.

Final thoughts

I've had a lot of Aquaplus vocal tracks in my library for many years, and its fun to go through their backlog and realize what songs are from what, and which ones I had that I didn't even realize were from Aquaplus games. And since I've followed Suara since 2006, making the connection between her discography and where her non-utaware songs are from has been a blast so far.

I look forward to diving further in in 2024. I want to give their other famous series like Dungeon Travelers and ToHeart a shot. Comic Party is still waiting on my shelf, as well.

Going through different time periods with their artists is a really fun adventure from an artist's perspective. It's fun to see where they've improved, what habits they've kept, the areas where they adjust things to be more modern, and how their painting evolves. For a long time I only knew Amazuyu by name, but now it's fun to glance at an artwork and be like "Oh, so and so drew this around xxxx year."

I want to see another game with Tatami as the main artist...

I also recently realized the only things I've finished since March have been various Aquaplus fanarts (I have drawn other things, just not finished...) Something unlocked in my brain and I'm enjoying drawing again to an extent, and for that I'm glad.

[welcometogrouchland]

Pacing around cause I'm having the exact same feeling that I got with thanks to them which is that I love the episode but it doesn't quite feel complete.

I think I've seen people say it's poorly paced which I don't think is true! This episode knows what it's about and only accomplishes what it sets out to. It is very clearly about emotional arcs and those are the things that end up resolved. everything else is just doing the legwork of setting up elements for the finale (getting people all in the one place, giving characters motivations and plots, etc).

It's all that background set up that goes unresolved because it's not for this episode, it's for the next, the same way something like Flapjack's sacrifice and Belos' plan was at the end of TTT.

I genuinely love FTF so much, it has some of my favorite character work in the series. Willow and Luz stealing the show, Amity and Gus getting little moments, Hunter once again being a vehicle for the writers to do a heartbreaking portrayal of grief, just like they did in TTT w/ Luz and Camilla.

They finally got me to like Boscha, they took the time to finally justify what makes kikimora so much worse than all the other emperor's coven lackies that we've met (something I always thought was lacking), they gave someone like mattholomule presence and development.

They put their blood, sweat and tears into the characters this episode, so that they can cover all the plot ground they need to next ep with minimal baggage.

again...it's just that understanding of knowing that none of these episodes are complete without the other, where they'll form into a 90 minute TV movie that does it's best to tell the story with the time it has left. Everything I wanted them to dwell on was something that couldn't have been included without taking something else away.

And sometimes the understatement works! Gus and Willow don't have a dramatic talk with Hunter about him being a grimwalker cause...they don't care. Respectfully. No matter what he is, they love who he is. Same with Eda and King missing Luz. They don't need to say it. It's felt very clearly.

I think I also just struggled to identify the theme at first, which always gets my jorts in a twist. Then, after a bit of looking around at other people's takes and opening my mind passed my preconceived wants and biases, I realized the theme (I think)

This episode is about adults making mistakes, kids being put in positions of "power", as they either try to fix things or end up replicating the broken dynamics set up by the adults.

(under a read more cause this started as a review-ish and then it got LONG bc. I just really love the themes of this show)

It's in the little things.

How no adults except Eda and Lilith (by king's leverage) survived puppet-ification whereas all the kids did. How those kids survived because the adults sacrificed themselves and gave them an inadvertent head start.

(not a huge predictions guy but I have a feeling that if Luz and Co end up needing to actually play the collectors new game, it's gonna be the kids who understand it intuitively, especially Luz)

How the kids tried to create a functioning society but ended up replicating the dynamic of their previous dictatorial society, right down to a scared and semi-vindictive child being manipulated by a less powerful person for their own gain. Boschas arguably meaner than the collector (when you take intention into account) and kikimora is much more pathetic than Belos but that's still the general dynamic going on.

How the episode ends with the kids of hexside finally cooperating in order to take down the last sluggish vestiges of Belos' empire's mindset.

How characters like Willow and Hunter bottle their feelings or otherwise struggle to express them but ultimately have to learn to be open so that they don't explode. This is something the adults in the show have repeatedly struggled with and Boshca herself points out how both her and Willow are leaders. Kids being put in positions of responsibility and fumbling their way through with no guiding hand (and I could talk all day about hubtlow hand symbolism. All day)

How Camilla helps Luz but finally opening up and relating both of their struggles to each other's, telling her that they're not so different and Camilla, the adult, made a mistake that she regrets. But she can only move forward and try to understand Luz and her world better.

How it seems that, in the show that riffs on the Isekai genre, where multiple characters have escaped to other worlds (Caleb, Younger Eda and Luz) in order to be understood but seemingly never verbalized this, leading to catastrophic fallout, the solution to the main character's issues is to finally just. Understand what it is she wants out of life. And it's a very simple but very existential and meaningful goal, of wanting to be understood. The way that Caleb, Eda, and even Camilla never were.

How Luz carving a palismen in a way no-one else ever thought too seemingly gave it new and exciting abilities. Nothing to do with her being inherently special or the titans specialist little guy. Just her making an unconventional choice and being rewarded for it. It almost feels like season 1 again, y'know?

It's in the way that the collector is literally rewriting their history to be "better", but (even though they're less violent than the usual expectations of their culture) still coming up short because they're only able to understand one person in the world and treat everyone else like toys. Toys that they love, but children inevitably break even their favorite toys when they play too rough. The collectors trying to be different but they're too young, naive and manipulated to see what was actually wrong with their species way of life.

The way that king wants to stop the cycle of collectors and titans killing and trapping each other by just talking to the collector but because of circumstances still has to go behind their back which just gives Belos' fire more fuel (though tbh Belos really took a gamble on that one)

It's all of this together that makes me insane because I feel like I need the payoff right now in order to fully satiate myself but at the same time...I don't. Because I don't want it to end.

For the future was a really good episode. Bit cluttered, bit busy, but then again when is this show not? I've come to love that about the owl house despite it's nature as a flaw.

I wanna know who that guy in the in-between realm was from the beginning of the episode (titan trapper?) And I want to know what purpose he serves. I want to know where characters like Alador and Steve are, what odalia's final moment will be, what the collectors new game might be, how the conflict is going to resolve and how the show will end. And I might only get some of these in depth, and others not at all and I can't even be mad about it. This show deserves more but I'm happy with this episode, not really as a standalone episode, but as a part of this larger movie-like send-off. Looking forward to watching and dreaming. Probably going to make fanart once I finish my current assignments (I have sketches for the reqs!)

This has been a post so long and rambly that I hesitate to maintag it. It's not for anyone. It's just for me. And I'm okay with that

[craft-not-of-the-witch]

Planning

Plot-

Begins with a foreword by an imaginary friend of the Jefrin, Paul Knightly (he provides brief detail on the Jefrin and Merope’s lives).

It then launches into a sort of journal/auto-biography, written by a man who is slowly descending into madness.

First, the Jefrin tells you to ‘nevermind’ his childhood - that he was lonely on the schoolyard but grew into it. He met Merope in 1958, in grammar school, then they traipsed around France. They began dabbling in psycho-active substances a little bit pre-France, and began being recognised for their music and lyrics. When they went back home, they were a hit.

Two albums come out and Merope gets sick. The Jefrin is at her side the entire time she withers, even tripping with her in her final hour. Because of that, the Jefrin claims that Merope’s soul fully materialized in the Fourth Dimension. He continues to do psychedelics and see his dead wife while he makes music. He finishes their final album, releases it, then kills himself while tripping. The Jefrin now lives in the Fourth Dimension.

Setting-

Manchester, England

London, England

Paris, France

Provence, France

It is 1970, when the Jefrin is writing. Their flats, in fields, in forests.

POV-

Mostly first person.

Character-

The Jefrin-Mystic-He is kind, and smart, and incredibly strong. Only the right kind of people think he’s handsome, and those people think he’s drop-dead gorgeous. Deeply in love with his wife. Loves to make music, loves to sing. Plays guitar while Merope drums.

Merope-Mystic-Even kinder than the Jefrin, she is funny, she is sharp. She loves her husband and quite literally lives for him. She tried to stay so, so strong for the Jefrin when she was dying. She was the sweetest woman ever.

Cyrus-The Dead Head-Cyrus was made in the first trip of the Jefrin and Merope. He acted as a guide and mentor for a while, then he jammed with them when they would enter the Fourth Dimension. He had a long white beard and a wide, straw hat. Speaks with a sort of jive.

Stylistic Devices-

Motif-The colour purple is the favourite colour of the couple, and it darkens as the scenes progress. It starts with Merope having a favourite lavender headband, then to the Jefrin getting a purple guitar and purple drums, to Merope and the Jefrin both dying while a bowl of red grapes sits nearby.

Anastrophe-The Jefrin writes in a very strange way, wherein his verbs, nouns and adjectives take up very random spots of his sentences.

Colloquialism-The Jefrin wrote the entire story in a very relaxed fashion, using various slang words.

Connections-

TtP-I can relate to the love that the Jefrin and Merope have - they are extremely based on myself and my boyfriend, as well as our adventures together.

TtT-In the film, Waking Life, the main character simply floats through a growingly colourless void, having meaningless conversations with strangers. At first he believes he is dreaming, until he knows he’s dead. If it weren’t for the connection Merope and the Jefrin had, dying in the Fourth Dimension must be something like that.

TtW-The Jefrin is loosely based on Jerry Garcia, the leader of the Grateful Dead. The term Dead Heads comes from the Grateful Dead as well. I got the entire idea for this story while staring at a Grateful Dead poster.

My #1 post of 2022

Thought Conrad came out of nowhere? He was hinted at in Episode 7…

TLDR: Julia is a symbolism genius, S02E07 is an allegory for the relationships and identities of the main characters.

Like many viewers, I thought Episode 7 (the episode with Villainius) was a fun ‘filler’ episode, until I realised that there must be more to the character design than just aesthetics. My theory is that the ‘God Punisher’ game is an allegory for the relationships between the main players in the Celestial Spear experience and confirmation of the identity of the ‘mastermind’ behind everything. I got as far as working out the metaphor before the finale but not the identity of the master mind so I’ll take this as a theory win!

Let’s start with Villainius. 

Firstly, his helmet and shoulder pauldrons are very reminiscent of Felix’s/The Ticket Taker’s helmet. The main areas of interest here are the curves/horns and the one central eye. 

Secondly, he is referred to as the protagonist’s ‘childhood best friend’, just like Felix is to Eugene. 

Thirdly, he goes in between the protagonist and Liticus Guysus (more on him in a bit), just like Felix/TTT did between Eugene and Conrad. 

Finally, his name is Villainius the God Punisher. Up to the final episode, we thought The Ticket Taker was the villain and we were told that his main job was to punish those who misbehaved during the experience.

Now on to Liticus Guysus. This one is a little bit tricky, but now knowing that Conrad was behind everything I can see there was a hint to his identity all along! 

Liticus Guysus was the ‘evil’ advisor to Villainius, just as Conrad was instructing Felix/TTT. This gives us confirmation that to confirm the identity of the ‘mastermind’, we should have looked at Liticus Guysus. 

Now I was thrown by the red gown/armour as I assumed this referred to Harvey’s waistcoat, however, Liticus Guysus clearly has four stars on the front of his gown/armour. Where else do we see those exact four stars in that arrangement? On the very front of Conrad’s uniform. Liticus Guysus’ helmet also follows very similar lines and angles to the front of Conrad’s uniform.

(Credits to the owner of the gif)

Sitting by the table in the middle of the room, everyone was listening closely to S.Coups, who was dividing them into teams that would fill the cars waiting outside. Dressed in jackets due to the November weather, the members were ready to finally get going and drive to the house the staff had rented out for them. Minnie was leaning onto Minghao, eyes closed, tired from not sleeping enough due to a nightmare that had kept the girl up all night. When a yawn left her mouth, his hand brushed over her hair while focusing on the words of their leader,

"Us four - Seungkwan, Dino, me, and Joshua. The four of us will go grocery shopping."

Seungkwan interrupted him from continuing, "Dino... we don't have room to take everything." To which Mingyu answered, "Then maybe you can walk," addressing their maknae, making the room errupt in laughter.

"Since we're filming until tomorrow," Woozi started, "just get here before tomorrow."

"Come on," her fellow '97 Liner that had served as a possibility for her to relax engulfed her in a tighter hug since he already had his arm around her "you're coming with us." She gave him a nod with a smile as an answer.

"Let's go!" Everyone started gathering their things and leaving, Minghao went ahead after Minnie slowed down to walk next to the others. As she followed them to the exit door, the girl felt a soft touch on her palm, "You okay?" Wonwoo grasped her hand into his. Turning around, she gave him a soft smile, "Yeah, I'm just tired. I didn't sleep much last night."

"You can take a nap in the car," he assured her, "You're driving with us anyway." Minnie scrunched her eyebrows, "How do you know that?" Confused since Minghao had just told her in a whisper.

"I told Myungho to get you." Making her grin sheepishly, thankful to be able to drive with three of the quietest members.

Even before exiting the building, the girl quickly let go of his hand and walked a little quicker ahead, catching up with Vernon. At the car, she got in the backseat behind the driver and next to the Korean-American. As soon as all the members were in, the two eldest sitting in the front started looking for the route.

"It's really far," Minghao commented, "It takes an hour and forty minutes."

"Le-le-le-le-let's get it," the '96 Liner exclaimed, clearly motivated for their trip.

After putting on her seatbelt, Minnie was ready to close her eyes and try to take the mentioned nap from before, when Wonwoo started a conversation, "My mood's getting better now that we've departed."

"Good," the Chinese member replied, "I've been in a good mood since this morning."

"Really?"

The female member chuckled, "He must be in a good mood. We finally get to celebrate his birthday properly."

He chuckled, "Yep, and it's been a long time since we hung out by ourselves. And having a birthday party with everybody here together is a bit worrying in itself, though."

"I started getting excited when I began packing," Vernon came into the conversation.

"I was worried the entire time while packing. I'm scared I forgot something," she exclaimed.

"But we're only there for one night," her seatmate told her, amused at her worry, but she shook her head, "You never know, though."

"It's kind of like going on a field trip?" Wonwoo turned around to look at the younger member.

"Seventeen is a field trip 24/7, 365 days of the year," Vernon commented, making the girl chuckle, "True."

The boys started playing soft music to fill the car whenever they didn't feel like talking. The girl started closing her eyes but quickly realised that she wouldn't be able to sleep due to the car movements mixed with her excitement for the trip, so she listened to the conversation her members had.

"Minnie, what are you most excited about?" Myungho asked her, not having heard her talk within thirty minutes.

She opened her eyes and turned her head from leaning on the window to just rest on the other side, "Ehmm...," she thought about it for a second, "I think just spending time with everyone again. The last TTT was quite a while ago, so it's gonna be fun to do it again. And I'm also excited to see the house. They didn't show us any pictures." The others hummed in agreement.

The four came to a stop on the way, while the others went shopping or drove to the house immediately, wanting to enjoy the nature surrounding them.

"Since it's okay fur us to be slightly late," Wonwoo started as the driver was parking the car, "Should we enjoy the sea a bit?"

"It's like we're here to enjoy the sea until we get sick of it," Vernon commented.

"We just came here on a personal trip," Minghao added.

Minnie shared her thoughts as well, "We should make the most out of it while we're here."

"This is so nice and comfy," the '98 Liner's statement made the girl hum.

After getting out of the vehicle, all four put on their masks and the oldest one of them took the camera from the car with them to record their full trip. Walking down the paved way, they were surrounded by trees that were dressed in their autumn colours in all possible shades of red, orange, and brown, with a few green ones remaining.

"This is so funny," the man holding the camera said.

"Why?" the '97 Liners asked at the same time, turning towards each other and giggling.

"This is going to be completely different from the other teams," Wonwoo continued.

"True," Minnie agreed, "The others are probably gonna go eat something." She slowed down her pace to walk behind the camera and next to him.

"I think it's only possible because it's the four of us," Minghao admitted, to which the rest agreed since it was known that the four of them were usually the ones going for nature trips and enjoying silence over busyness.

The arm of the hand that wasn't holding the camera opened, motioning for Minnie to link her arms with his, which she did without hesitating since they couldn't be seen on camera. The other members didn't comment on the action, being used to everyone being close with each other, although a subtle grin played on Minghao's lips, remembering the girl's and his conversation a few weeks ago.

"Oh," the tallest out of them exclaimed, "I know this tree. Chinese trumpet vine?

"Apparently you can play the trumpet well if you eat this," the youngest joked, and Minnie played along, "Well then eat it, Vernon," "Nah, thanks."

Once they finally found a nice spot to stay at, the oldest one set down the camera on the floor. The girl laughed, "Oh, where did you learn that perfect TikTok camera angle?" Knowing exactly what the answer was and Wonwoo did too, "I don't know, somebody keeps on showing me those short videos." And they locked eyes while laughing.

After Minghao and Vernon clarified who would use the little remote to take pictures with first, all four got into a line.

"You have to keep moving," the fashion icon of the group advised them. And the group took that advice and started posing in different positions for the camera in front of them, taking one picture after the other.

Before leaving again though, they all decided to sit down for a second and enjoy the view and chilly weather they got blessed with for the day.

"It's so pretty here," Minnie started to which the boys agreed, commenting on the trees and how they rarely get to see this side of Korea due to their schedule in Seoul.

"We should go on a trip like this when we have free time," the Korean-American proposed.

After a good two hours since their departure, they finally reached their destination. As soon as they got back into the car and started driving again, the female member fell asleep almost immediately, and thanks to Vernon and his camera, he has proof. Once the car came to a halt, Minghao looked at the review mirror, "Did she actually fall asleep?" and Wonwoo turned around, "Looks like it. She said she was tired though."

Her seatmate started poking her softly as the others got out, "Minnie," he whispered, "Minnie," he tried it again, poking her slightly harder, making her jump and wake up, "Hm?"

"We're here," he laughed. "Did I actually fall asleep?" She wondered, still slightly disoriented and surprised. The girl got herself together and opened the door like her members, stepping out into the cold. Her eyes followed the others who were looking at the house's big windows, seeing some of the other members who had already arrived, dancing in a room.

"I can't see them because they're playing so hard," Myungho snickered and started waving his arms left to right like Hoshi did inside of the house - their bodies moving with them. Minnie got onto her tippy toes and stood next to her '97 friend, playing along by waving... just slightly more normal.

They started looking around the property, finding all kinds of things, like a field to play foot volleyball on, a jumping castle with a trampoline, a big kitchen inside the house, and much more.

"Wow," the female was astounded, "They really went all out for us," with Minghao right behind her, "Yeah. This place is huge!" He sounded very excited. Minnie decided to join Jun on the field and started playing Badminton with him while waiting for the rest to arrive.

After only a few minutes, the last car with S.Coups, Joshua, and Seungkwan arrived. They sat their rackets on the side and jogged slightly to help the others with carrying the groceries inside the house - the res from inside joined them shortly after. As soon as the trunk opened, all eyes fell on the huge amount of stuff they bought, everyone exclaiming their excitement, and obviously, the first thing they noticed, was the alcohol - so many different kinds of wine, beer, and basically everything an alcoholic heart could dream of. Getting in line, everybody took a box and filled it with stuff to bring inside.

"This place is going to be your grave tonight," Jeonghan chuckled to Vernon after he got so surprised by seeing the massive canister of Soju.

Once they all reached the kitchen, the boxes with food just got placed on the dining table and from there sorted into shelves and cupboards, as well as into the fridge. Suddenly DK started laughing, "Hey, there's another karaoke machine here," adverting all attention towards him and the mentioned machine.

"This room is also a karaoke room," Seungcheol noticed, and Dino's excitement immediately went through the roof, "This is crazy, wow! Turn on the machine!"

In the meantime, Minnie helped putting the meat and some of the alcohol into the fridge, Seungkwan and Wonwoo helping her, while some of the other members started talking about the food they got for each other.

"Minnie!" She heard her name being called, turning around quickly and looking at S.Coups, "They had those crisps that you like, don't forget about them." She chuckled and said, "Alright, thanks," finding it cute how their leader usually remembers small foods that she liked and getting them for her.

After being finished, Wonwoo, Seungkwan, and Woozi were quick to go outside, ready to look around for something to do. While they went their way, Minnie went upstairs and joined Jeonghan and Mingyu, who were playing at the pool table.

"Do you remember how to play?" the eldest asked the girl, thinking back to a few years ago when he taught her.

"I think so," she wasn't sure but was determined to try. Once it was her turn, she got into position, placed the stick how she remembered she should to it and shot. In one move, she got two balls to go in, making her jump in excitement, "Yeyy!" The guys laughed at her cuteness but also looked at her in shock, "H-How... I thought you forgot how to play?" her fellow '97 Liner commented, not believing that she was currently better than him. "No, I said I think I remember and apparently I do," she simply stated with a bored expression on her face, making the tall guys more determined to win. Jeonghan looked at the two in front of him, amused at their little discussion.

After their game finished, Minnie won, by the way, she retreated to the karaoke room upstairs, finding it empty. She laid down on the couch and listened as other members went to go play pool with Jeonghan - Mingyu had left as soon as he lost the game. A quick look at her phone, the girl realised her eyes were starting to feel heavy again, as the nap she took in the car before must have not energized her enough. Therefore, she put the device down, cuddled herself into the jacket she had on her arm and closed her eyes, promising herself to only take another short nap.

"Wait, but we're missing two people," Mingyu noticed.

Woozi looked around, "Minnie and Vernon aren't here."

The shot switched to show the Korean-American sleeping [He's breathing] and then to the British girl [And she's photosynthasizing] as she kept the light on in the living room for God knows what reason.

As soon as Minnie opened her eyes, she groaned and closed them quickly again, blinded by the lights above her. She sat up slowly and ran a hand through her hair, looking around, her eyes landing on the guys playing on the field outside, which made her understand why she suddenly woke up since they weren't being particularly quiet. With a smile, she got up, put on her jacket and went downstairs to join the rest of her members after putting her shoes on.

Dino immediately saw her, "HEY!!" he screamed, catching her off guard, "Minnie's back!!" All the other guys turned towards her and started shouting and screaming as well, confusing her, but she quickly realised how drunk they already were, and it made her laugh. She waved at them, and Hoshi ran up to her to engulf her in a tight hug.

"You're feeling pretty well, huh?" the girl asked him, earning a wide grin as an answer. He walked her to the table where the members who weren't playing were standing and kept on standing next to her, watching the game. Once there was a pause due to Mingyu making a mistake, Dino spoke up again, "Guys, guys, guys! Minnie needs to catch up with us," making the girl look at him with big eyes, "Huh?" but he ignored her and kept on talking, "Every time someone drinks, she has to drink with them." While quite a few of the guys found that to be an amazing idea, she started shaking her head, "No, no, are you insane? You guys already are drunk as hell, I'm not gonna catch up with you."

"Yes, you are, come on," Seungkwan walked up to her, "Mingyu has to drink now anyway."

"I just woke up," she whined as she got dragged closer to the table, and Jeonghan handed her a filled up shot glass with an evil smile. He knew when to stop her from drinking, but right now he just wanted her to enjoy this time as much as the rest of the group did.

"You can only play with us once you're as drunk as we are," Mingyu told her, standing next to her with a glass of Soju as well.

"I don't even want to play with you guys," she laughed, but the taller guys nodded his head, "Yes, you do. Come on, drink," he clinked their shots, making her have to take it now, which she did.

As soon as the liquid touched her lips, the people around her erupted in cheers, whereas she scrunched her nose and pulled a disgusted face, "Oh god, that's horrible," reviewing the alcohol she had just put in her body.

As per usual, these boys got her to do whatever she didn't necessarily want but also what she didn't necessarily fight against. So, there she was a few head butts and seven soju shots later, thanks to stupid mistakes made by Mingyu, Jun, Dino, Minghao, and Seungkwan. And since she hadn't eaten much throughout the day, she could feel the effect of the alcohol rather quickly. Thankfully, they decided to stop the game and start with their dinner.

"Do you want to have dinner now, or a little later?" Jeonghan asked into the crowd that had formed around the table. Then DK had a question, but it was more of an idea, "If some of us sing karaoke and some of us prepare for dinner, it's unfair, right?" But the older one was unfazed by it and told him it would be okay if he wanted to do karaoke.

"I will prepare dinner," Mingyu decided, "And Minnie's gonna help me. She's the most sober out of all of us."

The girl quickly shook her head and looked at him, "I'm most definitely not one of the sober ones here." Which the guys found very entertaining.

Wonwoo, next to her, brushed over her hair, "You feeling okay?" he wondered. She looked up to him and nodded with a smile, "Yep. Just definitely not sober anymore," making him laugh and having to hold himself back from moving closer to her. Before anything more could happen, she quickly got dragged away by Mingyu as Jeonghan mentioned, "If you prepare for dinner, you'll ask to be exempted from clean up later. I'll prepare for dinner too, then." And he just added a new "rule". Joshua, Jeonghan, Minghao, Dokyeom, Seungkwan, Mingyu, and her went inside together, but she stayed on the front porch, covered by glass, with the Chinese member, who looked at the grills, "But we have to start the fire first." What the other guys also noticed. The tallest of them went to do what his '97 friend had just mentioned while Minnie moved inside to join Jeonghan, who was talking to Seungkwan,

"Seungkwan, you're going to do something?", "I'm trying." But then the older one suddenly changed his mind, "If not, do you want to play badminton?"

Everyone in the room started laughing - of course, he would try to find a way out of helping with the cooking.

"Didn't you come in here to do something?" Minnie wondered as he walked past her, "I came in to pick up the badminton rackets." Dammit, Jeonghan.

Before Seungkwan and his Hyung went back outside to play again, the younger one shouted into the kitchen, "Dokyeom! I trust you when it comes to food, for real."

"What about me?!" The girl was enranged, "What the hell," she laughed.

"What is he talking about?" DK asked her. She rolled her eyes and muttered, "Unbelievable."

"Then, Mingyu and I will barbeque some meat," Minghao decided. As Minnie looked outside to the two men standing in front of the grill, she asked, "Can I help?"

"No, no, you stay inside. Help Joshua and Dokyeom," the beanpole shushed her back inside before starting the fire.

"Alright, well then," she stopped next to Joshua, "What are you doing? How can I help you?" Her Hyung explained the dishes he wanted to prepare, "Can Dokyeom and you wash the vegetables please?" and handed them mushrooms, carrots, and everything he needed. As she looked to her right, she saw Wonwoo standing at the top of the stairs, "Hey, are we already preparing a meal?" And Joshua and she answered at the same time with a, "Yeah."

"I'm gonna go and change into a hoodie real quick, okay?" She asked the older one, who nodded.

After running upstairs, leaving her jacket there and putting on more comfortable clothing, as in a hoddie and loose-fitting, checkered pants, Minnie went back down, only to find DK in the karaoke room and not in the kitchen anymore.

"Aren't you helping anymore?" She asked him. He turned around with a mic in his hand, clearly not going back downstairs anytime soon, "I washed the vegetables."

"And?" she chuckled, "I already washed them, I'm done,", "Alright," and she left the room with a smile. These guys really use any little thing they do as a reason to get out of doing more.

"What can I do?"

Joshua turned towards her, "You're not gonna leave me like Dokyeom?"

"No," she laughed. He showed her around, pointing to each of the vegetables lying on the table, "You remember how to cut them?"

She nodded and sat down, "Yep," and got going right away. While preparing the food, she and the '95 Liner kept up a comfortable conversion while also listening to the guys upstairs, singing ridiculously loud, and every now and then getting interrupted by the sound of the billiard balls.

In the middle of their conversation, Wonwoo joined them to look at what they were doing. He looked at Joshua who was already making some of the food on the stove, "Oooh, that looks good," and then turned to Minnie sitting by the table, still cutting the rest of the vegetables for them to get roasted.

He sat down across from her but turned to his Hyung, "You're letting her use a knife while she's drunk?" The older one whipped his head around quickly, "Oh my god, I totally forgot that she drank too-", but she interrupted him right away with a soothing voice, "I'm fine, don't worry. I only have the potatoes left," she pointed at them, but when the '96 Liner looked at them, he got even more worried, "Those are mushrooms."

The two guys looked at her scared, and the feeling of guilt spread in Joshua's body, but she just started giggling, "I'm just kidding." They looked at her in disbelief and sighed.

"I think she's feeling pretty well," the eldest commented. The boy with glasses stood up, "Apparently," and turned to her, "Give me that," and reached out to the knife, but she was quick to pull away,

"No, I can do it." He kept his gaze on her, telling her to give him the cutlery as he was far more sober than she was since she had to take with almost every other member, but she didn't budge and kept the same gaze on him.

"Alright," Wonwoo gave up and got ready to go back upstairs, "Watch your fingers." And with that, he left the two by themselves again.

After making sure that he was out of sight, Joshua turned to the girl with crossed arms and sat down where his member was just sitting, "You got something to tell me?" She looked up with big eyes, "What?" He didn't answer but just looked at her with serious eyes and a smile on his lips. "No," Minnie shook her head with the straightest face she could pull, and stood up to bring what she had prepared over to the stove.

"Alright." He let it slide. For now.

A note from your author — I’m so sorry this took so long, I just got out for summer vacation after an extremely stressful year so I’ll be way more active now. I have decided (with much hype from @imagine-t-h-a-ttt ) to post this in parts so I could give y’all something in appreciation for dealing with me. Expect more soon!! (It might not be AiB exclusively but I will be writing more)

The borderlands was a place where anyone and everyone was alone for themselves when it came to survival. “It’s every man for themselves,” you’d often tell yourself after a game since you walked away, sometimes alone, and others didn’t. After participating in your first heart’s game you learned that, and it was forever engraved into your mind. When you were cruelly taken from the real world you were alone in your room after your nightly shift as an SDF officer. All of a sudden the lights went out whilst you were changing out of your uniform before a shower which you never got to take. Deciding to investigate the outage, you threw your uniform back on and unbuttoned the jacket revealing your black sleeveless undershirt while keeping your green cargo style uniform pants and combat boots on. After grabbing your knife and placing it into your thigh holster, you explored your neighborhood to find that everyone was gone, cars were randomly in the street as if they had been stopped out of nowhere, and you were in fact alone.

“What the fuck is this?” You whispered to yourself as you were pulling out your phone to contact your friends only to see that it was dead. “Fantastic,” you grumbled, rolling your neck to the side to crack it and relieve the tension. Venturing back to your home you thought over what this could possibly be; an evacuation drill? Maybe a nightmare? Were you daydreaming again? No, this was too real and too strange to be any of those things. You needed to get out of this area, inspect and observe other parts of Tokyo to see what was going on. You thought you could find answers before it turned dark since it was only morning so you rushed home to pack a few things before heading out.

While at home, you grabbed your backpack and in it you put; a change of clothes, three water bottles, pain pills and a few snacks as well as your phone and charger in case you could figure out a way for it to work. In a haste you also threw on your side holster which held your nine millimeter handgun and two packs of ammo for extra precautions. After that, you set out on your search of the city. The first thing you thought of was to get in one of those abandoned vehicles however even though they were full of fuel, they wouldn’t start. “So phones and vehicles don’t work, neither does anything powered by electricity. Great.”

With that newly found information, you stepped out of the vehicle and began the long walk across Tokyo. Along the way you inspected stores, homes and even government buildings but found no trace of anyone but yourself. Where did everyone go? It looked so desolate without the constant buzz of people around walking, the tourists, the neon billboards. Everything was...dead. You spent the entire day walking further into the abandoned city which was once lively yet found nothing other than a restaurant with food which you took the liberty to eat at.

Upon nightfall, you were looking for a place to stay when a billboard lit up drawing your attention to it immediately. “This way to the game arena,” it read with an arrow pointing to the left. Turning your head in that direction you saw an area in the distance brightened by lights while everything else was still surrounded in darkness. “Game arena?” You whispered in confusion. Looking around at your surroundings you didn’t see any other lights other than that building which looked to be about three blocks away. You followed the arrows leading you to the designated arena which looked to be a botanical tea garden from a distance. You slowly approached the building while keeping your hand close to the blade strapped on your thigh in case someone or something appeared. As soon as you stepped across the final set of stairs leading up to the entrance, a line of red lasers appeared and quickly turned blue when a sound similar to that of a confirmation resonated in the area. “What is this?”

“It’s the threshold of the arena.” Turning in the direction of the voice, you saw a familiar face step next to you with the same sound chiming at her entry. “Holyn? How did you get here? Are you okay?” You asked quickly before hugging her out of relife, you were more than happy to see a familiar face in this apocalyptic place. She was your childhood best friend, the only reason you hadn’t seen or heard from her in a while was because of both of your working lives.She hugged you back even tighter as she was feeling the same way you were, scared, alone and confused. When the two of you released each other she began explaining everything she knew to you as the both of you started walking into the garden.

“I got here a few days ago and since then, I’ve asked around to see what others know about whatever the hell is going on. No one knows how we got here or what exactly this place is but everyone is made to participate in games of survival. You must participate or you’ll die. After winning a game, you keep the phone you had and you’ll be supplied with a visa. The visa tells you how long you have until you’re out of time here which is why you have to participate in games to renew it before it runs out. You must win each game, there is no other way to survive if you don’t. Do everything it takes so you live and move on. Anything with an electric circuit board or IC chip does not work whereas analog equipment like radios work and so do older vehicles.” She explained quickly as more people came into view. Your mind fogged with all of the new information, it was so much to take in. Then you realized you were just thrown into a game of survival and like she said; you HAD to win to survive. “But-” you had just begun when she silenced you, “pretend you’ve been here and done this. I know you’re confused and probably scared shitless but just pretend.” She instructed as you both entered the arena and quickly added one thing, “I don’t want to continue playing after this, I killed someone Y/n.” But before you could respond she shook her head and you did as she said, silencing yourself and putting on the facade you had mastered over the years.

Upon entry, you almost immediately noticed the two groups of people to the right each containing about six people and consisting of both males and females and the other group of six men. Gauging their distance to and from each other you could conclude the individuals in each group had played together previously and probably had strategies to compete with. As you and Holyn approached the area the others stood around, you glanced down to the table in front of all of you. ‘One per person’ the sign read with approximately twenty phones laid out beside it. Each of you grabbed a random phone and stepped away from the table into your own spaces, you and Holyn sticking closely together. If everything with a circuit board was destroyed, then why did these phones work? In the middle of your questioning the phone screen lit up with the text ‘facial recognition in progress’ before switching to another screen as you looked at the others subtly to see they were looking around as well.

“Registration has closed,” the phone chimed causing each of you to glance down at the small screen. “There are twenty participants. Game: Queen of cards.”

“Rules,” the automated voice said, “After putting on the designated collars you will be divided into two teams, one team will be the Jacks while the other is the Queen of Hearts. Find the Queen of Hearts, take her phone and find the safe zone. If the Queen is not found, it is game over for the Jacks. If the Queen is found, it is game over for her.”

“Does this mean it’s one girl against the rest of us?” Holyn asked with a small crack in her voice, making hit her as a sign to be quiet and do exactly what she told you to do. The two of you grabbed the collars they had laid out on the table, placing them on your neck after close inspection. You needed to seem like you had done this before, the last thing you needed was to be seen as the weaklings or newbies. “It’s a Hearts game, of course that’s what it means. We are supposed to turn on each other and play with others minds. It makes sense.” A male with his arms crossed over his chest said. He had played before, you could tell. The group of men he came with looked like they had been here for a while based on their appearance and calmness towards the situation.

“What do you mean ‘It’s a heart's game’?” A girl who looked to be about seventeen asked. It was obvious she was new to this like you, however, you weren’t letting anyone know that. “When you see the game card, you know the type of game and the difficulty of it. Heart games are those of psychological torture and betrayal where you mess with your opponents or friends minds and emotions. Diamond games are ones of minds and intelligence, often including solving riddles or puzzles. Clubs are by far the safest there is given they are teamwork and unity games. Spade games are physical, they test your stamina and endurance. The number of the cards tell you the difficulty levels; one being the easiest and ten being the hardest.” Another man explained to the girls. You listened attentively while looking down at your phone noticing this was a six of hearts game. Hearts. There had to be a way to do this without betrayal. But before you could think of anything further you were interrupted by the phone which spoke once more.

“The Queen will have one minute to hide before Jack's time starts, but she wont know she is the Queen until Jack's time begins.” The feminine AI voice instructed once more. The girls were to be hunted by the boys and even if they weren’t the Queen the males wouldn’t know. Even if it was a best friend. You noticed when the others came to the same realization as you as one guy started profusely apologizing to a girl who was shaking. This is a game of survival. “So that means-”

“You girls better run.” It came from one of the men and said with a sinister smirk. All the guys had to do to ensure survival was take our phones and get to the undisclosed safezone. However this was more than that. You saw the weapons on a board in the distance and you knew you weren’t the only one who did. Without a second thought, you grabbed Holyn’s hand and ran as fast as you could to get the farthest from any other person, vividly aware of the knife you still had on your thigh. She quickly followed behind although she didn’t have much of a choice with your iron-like grip on her wrist. After running a sufficient distance from the others you ducked into the shrubbery and crawled towards a dark corner to hide from anyone’s sight. She sat across from you as you both tried to calm your breathing while keeping yourselves hidden from anyone who might pass by. The phone chimed again, “Hiding time is up,” the voice said while a new timer appeared on your phone. “Ten minutes,” it read. An alarm sounded throughout the arena echoing off the walls of the indoor tea garden. “The game will now commence,” you heard just before seeing your screen turn balck temporarily with your role on it.

“Thank goodness, I’m a Jack. You are too right?” Holyn asked as you turned off your phone and looked at her with a smile as her voice echoed in your mind, “you must win each game, there’s no other way to survive,” so you pushed away the dread in your chest and replied “me too.”

No. You were the Queen.

The two of you sat still for about five minutes listening to the shouts and screams of the others until you heard sets of footsteps coming in your direction causing the two of you to duck down onto your stomachs out of fear. In the distance you heard a feminine scream echo off the glass walls followed by shattering sounds and more screams of “I’m not her” or “It’s not me” followed by the sounds of struggles. “Come out come out wherever you are,” one of the men closer to you called. You could tell he was near and if you two didn’t move, he'd find you.”We found the safe zone but none of the girls were queens,” you heard one say, “damnit, if they were still alive they could help us,’ the other commented making your stomach drop. “We need to run,” who whispered to Holyn knowing those men would have no issue killing you to survive. “Three minutes remaining,” the time was announced but you could hardly hear it due to your pulse thudding in your ears.

“Now,” you called quietly queuing the both of you to jump up and run, but it didn’t go unnoticed by the men. “There they are!” One shouted followed by the heavy stomps of footsteps behind you as they set in on the chase. “It’s only the two of you, just give us the phone and you’ll live.” You ignored him and kept sprinting towards the place you knew there were weapons. Without another thought you grabbed two weapons and handed one to Holyn to defend yourselves with until she came to the realization you loathed. “You’ve been the queen this entire time!?” She shouted at you as the stomping sound got closer and closer. “I’m sorry! You said to do anything it takes to survive.” You responded with tears clouding your vision. Never in your life would you have thought you’d be choosing your life over your best friend’s, not when the two of you had gone through everything together. “Two minutes remaining,” the voice announced reminding you of your impending fate. Holyn looked at you with emotions you couldn’t decipher, but you saw the way she relaxed even if it was slight. Why was she glad you chose yourself over her?

“Come on, let’s hide.” She said grabbing your hand and this time, she was the one dragging you along. She veered off to the right pulling you behind a fountain and kept running until the two of you collapsed onto the ground. “Remember when you turned fifteen and we decided to sneak out?” she reminisced laying between your legs against your chest. “Yeah, our parents almost killed us, we were grounded for months.” you giggled despite the tears falling from your eyes. As memories of you both flooded your mind you acted without control and shouted, “Over he--” to let the men know your location but you were interrupted by her hand clasping over your mouth tightly to silence you as she yanked you backwards into the shadows. “Shh,” she whispered, calming you while you sobbed into her hand, “I want you to live on for me, okay? Beat this game, we both know you are the only one who can. I know you can. I’ll be helping you from above if I can.” She soothed laying her head on top of yours.

“One minute remaining”

The tears wouldn’t stop as you moved to hug her tightly, never wanting to let go. “I’m so sorry.” you choked out in between gasps for air. Everything was too much, too loud, time was moving too quickly, you heard the men rapidly shouting and searching for you two as you clung to your best friend. Everything seemed to be happening so quickly, the seconds flew by while you were holding the only person you had left before she was to die. “I’m not. Thank you Y/n, I wouldn’t have made it any further anyways, I’m glad I can help you move forward. Don’t let me die in vain.” She told you kissing the top of your head before roughly pushing you off to get you away from her. “Holyn!” You shouted trying to latch back onto her when suddenly the collar around her neck exploded and her blood splattered everywhere. Your eyes and mouth opened wide in shock at what you had just seen. You could feel the specks of blood all over your face and body while you stared at her now decapitated one lying in front of you. She had just died, and it was because of you, because you were selfish and confused all while being scared.

You didn’t know how long you stayed there in total silence until you just collapsed onto the cold, hard floor beneath your feet. The silence was interrupted by your blood curdling scream of pure agony that echoed throughout the enclosed building. Your head came into contact with the ground when you curled over your knees and screamed once again while grabbing at your hair and banging your forehead against the cement. Tears flowed out of both your eyes as you cried out in horror, unable to rid your mind of the events that just occurred. You screamed until your throat was raw and your voice hoarse, you could feel the clumps of hair you pulled out of your scalp as your fingers dug deeper into your skull and worst of all, you knew you were alone now.

For days, you were numb. Five days to be exact. You didn’t do much but sleep, cry, eat, walk aimlessly to a new location and then repeat it all again the next day. You couldn’t shake the immense feeling of guilt you felt when you woke each morning knowing Holyn wouldn’t because of you. It wasn’t until you played your next game, an eight of spades, that you snapped out of the haze your emotions put you in. During the game, you had to climb a tree fast enough to avoid the arrows being shot at you from below as the height the arrows were shot increased each minute as you ascended the tree. You were ahead of the others until one man decided to start pulling at your ankles to hold you back which eventually turned into him trying to make you lose your grip and fall. In the moment he yanked your body down, you almost completely lost your grip on the branch keeping you from falling. It was then that you realized you weren’t going to let Holyn die in vain, you’d survive and push through everything to honor her memory.

After that, the “acquaintances” you made between or during games never meant much to you because in the end, you could only count on and rely on yourself to ensure your survival. You stopped moping around and became the version of yourself you had always wanted to become, the one that allowed you to turn off your emotions and step away from your chaotic thoughts. You now lived for yourself and yourself only, but even then, you never killed anyone intentionally.

A few days passed by but you couldn’t tell exactly how long you had been in this hell hole. You only played games when it was necessary which was only about two days before your visa expired. After overhearing someone in a two of Spades game talk about a place called “the Beach” and the people there “knowing how to get out here,” you started observing those who played games when you didn’t. It only took a few nights to see the connection between the group of people who entered games with tag numbers on their wrists being the ones who walked out. After you played a couple games with people with the tags on their wrists, you were convinced they knew something about the strategy of the games. Lingering in the shadows, you watched the participants of the game walk out of the arena and head down the street while you quietly followed behind. You must’ve walked for five minutes before you noticed where exactly the group was headed; a vehicle. “But I thought..” you whispered to yourself in confusion seeing them jump into the four seater 1970 cadillac while you stood still in your hidden position wondering what they were doing. Upon hearing the ignition of the engine you remembered Holyn telling you only older modeled vehicles were able to work here, but where did they find fuel? Not once had you seen an operable fuel station. “There must be fuel at the beach, there has to be,” you thought to yourself, watching as they drove off which only made you more determined to find this place and get the answers to your questions. And with that thought in mind, you set out on a journey to find this so-called “beach.”

As the vehicle drove further from your sight, you started jogging in order to tail them to their location while still keeping yourself out of sight. You ran for around fifteen minutes before you saw a building in the distance, a building which had power unlike everything else in the city. Seeing the destination, you stopped running and took a while to slow your breathing and regain your energy. “So this is the Beach,” you sighed observing the structure and its surroundings. The building itself seemed to be four stories tall and included a large pool in front where people partied as if they weren’t fighting for their lives everyday. You approached a fence which seemed to outline the perimeter of the area and carefully leaned over it as if you were watching a child’s game. You saw the vast amounts of people give into the pleasures of ignorance while deafening music thrummed in the background, even from the great distance you were, you could slightly feel the vibrations of the bass in your chest.

“Ah who's this?” you heard a cynical voice ask rhetorically from behind you. At the sudden and unexpected presence you jumped, turning around and swinging your fist to punch whoever it was out of instinct. When your right hand came in contact with a face your left twisted to grab the knife you still carried on your thigh in a holster. Just as you grasped ahold of the handle one of the two people delivered a knockout-blow to the side of your head just behind your temple which caused you to instantly lose consciousness.

When you awoke you were sitting in a chair with your hands tied loosely behind your back onto the chair with what felt like a burlap bag over your head. You let out a small groan of discomfort feeling your head pulse due to your new injury, one you would have to repay later on. Upon hearing your groan, the bag was swiftly removed from your head allowing the bright lights of the room to flood your vision which hadn’t adjusted making you shut your eyes with a silent wince. After blinking a few times you get adjusted, you were finally able to scan your surroundings. In front of you stood a man with shoulder-length hair, blsck sunglasses, an open kimono and red swim trunks, to his left stood a man with buzzed hair, a black muscle shirt and green military pants who you instantly recognized.

“Aguni?” You asked with confusion seeing the man you used to work with. He was here too? You weren’t surprised he was still alive, the man was invincible when you worked with him. And just like back then, he was silent, he only gave a small nod of his head to you as a response before reassuming his statue-like stance. To his right was a man with silver hair, a white Nike hoodie and blue swim shorts who looked at you in an inquisitive manner with tired yet sharp eyes. Two women who had black hair were standing to his right and a man covered in tattoos stood further off to the side holding a sword long in length, possibly a katana. A few other people were staggered around the room but none of them seemed to be as ‘important’ as the few that you noticed immediately.

“Aguni-san? You know her?” The man in the kimono asked the latter with creased brows showing obvious confusion. “We worked at the SDF together. She was my partner before we were assigned to different segments, she’d be a good addition to the executives or militants.” He responded while putting in a good word for you. “Someone like her? An SDF officer? If you hadn’t told me, Aguni-san, I would have never known.” The man remarked crossing his arms over his chest while walking over to a desk which he leaned on. “What’s that supposed to mean?” You questioned with a scowl in his direction as your fingers fiddled with the ropes binding your wrists. You would be able to get out of them in a matter of minutes if no one noticed what you were trying to do, but it seemed the man in the white hoodie already noticed as he raised his brow in your direction with an impressed smirk on his stoic face. “A pretty, small woman like yourself...I would’ve thought you’d be tagging along with someone and not alone. Actually I would’ve thought you’d be dead by now, much less an SDF officer.” He commented with a wry smile fanning out all your cards which contradicted his statement.

“If my cards tell you anything, you should know you’re wrong,” you hummed, resuming your attempt to loosen the ropes. “Ah yes your cards,” he began while pushing himself off the desk and slowly pacing around the room, “we want you to become a resident at the Beach after seeing the cards you’ve gathered. And after learning of your pastime, you would be a great addition to the team either way.” Of course he would want you once he saw the games you had played, you were good at surviving meaning you’d also be efficient in getting him the rest of the cards. “And if I don’t want to become a resident?” You questioned poking the inside of your cheek with your tongue out of habit. You were doing just fine on your own and definitely did not need this place, however, it seemed like they needed you. Or they needed your cards more so than yourself.

“Well if you choose to stay, you’ll be able to get out of this game quicker. We have a theory that once we collect all the playing cards, one person will be able to go back to the normal world. And if you choose not to stay, well, you can walk away from here but we will keep your cards. We have gathered all the weapons in the city, we regularly gather rain water and food which the game makers seem to replenish once a week, you’ll be taken care of here.” He explained pausing directly in front of you waiting for a response. Did no one else see the problem with him? How he was manipulating everyone to get the cards under the false security that they’d get to leave too? Or was everyone here really THAT ignorant? “It seems like you take my cards either way hm?” You suggested in a hum cocking your head to the right slightly in question. “You’re correct. However, now you would be higher in the rankings and an executive after making such a great contribution and having the skill set you supposedly possess.” He told you in an attempt to persuade you into staying while adding a bit of sweetness to the word ‘contribution’. When you simply looked at him with a bored gaze, he sighed and continued speaking.

“If you decide to stay there are only three rules. 1) "always wear a bathing suit". This is to be sure no one is hiding any weapons which is why our militants don’t have to wear them if chosen to do so. Rule 2) "be free to live your life exactly as you wish including alcohol, drugs and sex" and the third and last rule: "death to traitors".” He enlightened you on the standards they lived by to help you make your decision. It didn’t seem like it would be a bad choice if you chose to stay here, you’d have food, shelter, and people you didn’t know in case you had to play another game of hearts.

“I’ll stay but I want my knife back, if I have to wear a bathing suit you’ll be able to see it anytime since I wear it on my thigh.” You compromised whilst completely freeing your hands from their bound position but still holding the rope to hide suspicions. You hated the fact you’d have to wear a swimsuit because your scars would be visible but if it meant you could have your knife, you’d be more than willing. Hearing a few chuckles resonate around the room at your demand you brought your attention to one of the men in the back of the room who had a bandage on his cheek and a black eye. It was easy to come to the conclusion that he was the one you punched earlier, and the thought of that made you smile with pride while looking at him.

“You are in no position to make demands, sweetheart,” he practically snarled at you. You hated being called sweetheart, it not only made you cringe but it infuriated you beyond measure. With a deadly glare, you let go of the rope and stood from the chair in a swift motion and threw the ropes at him without a word which said everything you needed to. However, just as he caught the ropes you could hear the door being slammed open followed by a voice which was all too familiar.

“The traitors are dead,” the unknown man announced in a tone of pride, kicking the door closed behind him. His voice instantly brought back memory after memory causing you to turn your head in shock in order to make sure you were hearing things correctly. The man you were looking at looked nothing like the one you once knew. This one had piercings on his nose and eyebrow while he sported an automatic rifle on his shoulder and a psychotic smile on his face. “Niragi?” You whispered in shock, still unable to believe your eyes. Was this the same boy you stood up for in high school? He looked so....different. What exactly happened to the sweet, shy boy you once fell in love with? “Y/N?” He questioned letting his mouth fall open the slightest but before he regained his composure. It was him, Suguru Niragi, the first and only man you’ve ever truly fallen in love with, but also the man who disappeared without a trace three years ago. You knew he had left you, it wasn’t hard to figure that much out, but you never knew why and quite frankly, you didn’t care anymore. You had moved on.

“Fantastic! Another one of our own knows this charming young woman, this will make things a lot easier. Niragi, you may take her to the locker rooms so she can change into some fitting attire then you can get her an ID bracelet and take her to her room.” The man who you noticed had a bracelet tagged 001, exclaimed with a clap of his hands as he was instructing Niragi to get you settled in. “She can do it on her own,” Niragi scoffed with a roll of his eyes which had you throwing your head back in a sarcastic chuckle. “I’ll take her,” someone insisted from the side. Glancing in the direction the voice resounded you noticed the short pale man with the silver hair stepping out towards you. He seemed oddly familiar as well but you couldn’t quite place it.

“That’s settled then. Now, my knife?” You quipped raising a brow at the ‘leader’ in the kimono just before someone came from behind you pressing a cold piece of metal to your throat while their other arm was holding your arms in place by your waist. The room went silent as everyone watched what was about to unfold in front of them, Aguni simply rolled his eyes with a sigh knowing what was about to happen. “You mean this knife?” The man teased, his voice was one you recognized from one of the two men that brought you to this place and all you wanted in that moment was to stab him for that. So, naturally, you settled for the next best thing. Pushing your head forward a little while trying not to move your neck, you watched Niragi’s expression as you threw your head backwards with all your force resulting in hitting the unknown man’s nose.

When the back of your skull came into contact with his face he immediately lessened his grip on you which allowed you to slip out of his grasp and take your knife from his hand. With your knife in hand, you grabbed his wrist, twisting it and bending his arm behind his back while your other arm placed him in a chokehold. You leaned in close to his ear as he was fighting your hold before pulling him back harshly, putting pressure on his windpipe, “Never, and I mean NEVER, touch my knife again. Got it?” You growled and if you were being honest, you would’ve intimidated yourself. You didn’t wait for a response as you pushed him forward only to watch him fall onto the ground with a soft thud. “Now,” you sighed looking up with a smile which could’ve been seen as both innocent or sinister, “let’s go,” you said slipping your knife into the holster on your thigh. The man with the white hair stepped forward with his hands in his pockets and came to your side, briefly looking at Niragi before turning his attention to you. “Let’s go, shall we?”

TTT 2018 #1

pairing :: rosie x seventeen

word count :: 1.0k

title :: TTT (MT SVT REALITY) #1

Rosie pulled the car door open to reveal Wonwoo and Woozi squished together in the backseat. “Oh, nevermind.”

“Sorry, we’re full.” Mingyu teased her as she shut the door back, finally picking the car with Dino, Seungkwan, and Jun.

“We were just talking about you!” Seungkwan cheered, unbuckling his seatbelt to move over.

“Move your butt.” She got into the car and got herself situated before buckling her seatbelt.

“How come you chose this car?” The boy asked, squeezing his shoulders together so she could fit.

“Woozi’s car already had three people in the back. I feared Dokyeom’s car would be too chaotic. So this one was my best bet.”

“Don’t you wanna switch places with Seungkwan?” Dino turned around his seat to look at her.

“No, why?”

“Because you’re gonna kick my seat.” He pouted as Seungkwan came to her defense.

“We’re gonna kick your seat regardless of who sits behind you.”

“Do you wanna go to the supermarket?” Jun asked everyone in the car. Everyone said no except Rosie.

“I’d only want to go to the supermarket to pick out my own food.”

“But you don’t want to because you’ll buy too much food and get out of hand?” Dino made his best guess from knowing her so well after so many years.

“Yes, precisely.” She smiled before taking her lip balm out of her bag.

The members in the car cheered as S.Coups approached, pulling the door open and shouting with them.

“It’s papa!” Rosie joked, clapping her hands as they started pouting about going to the supermarket.

“I’m sorry but we’re not going to the supermarket!” The leader announced, putting the keys into the ignition and setting up the navigation.

As they got on the road, they listened to some of their older music with Dino in control of the aux. He started going through his backpack, pulling out his cleansing water.

“Product placement?” Rosie blurted out, tapping on his shoulder from behind the seat.

“I think that more people should know about Lilili Yabbay.” Seungcheol sparked conversation, keeping his eyes on the road.

“I had the most fun dancing to this song.” Dino nodded his head, agreeing with him.

“I think it was the hardest choreography to learn. At least for me.”

“Rosie and I struggled the most.” Jun pointed to the girl before slouching back against the seat.

“Listen, I only scuffed my knees up a couple times, it’s nothing.”

The two cars arrived at the getaway location. Rosie grabbed her backpack from the trunk and followed the members inside the house. The first thing that caught her eye was the pool. She always liked swimming when she was growing up.

She toured the house, claiming her bed by setting her backpack down on it. She waved towards the camera in the top corner of the room, stretching and trying to put on a show. She walked out to Seungkwan on the phone with the members at the supermarket.

“Rose, do you want anything special from the mart?” He asked her, handing the phone over to her.

“Ooh, shrimp chips, and seaweed.”

“Don’t forget the kimchi!” Hoshi shouted from outside.

“Hoshi wants kimchi. Can you get some strawberry milk too?”

“Yes, ma’am.” DK replied to her before she passed Seungkwan his phone back.

The girl went outside, walking alongside the pool before slipping her shoes off and dipping her feet in. “Ooh, it’s cold!”

She looked to Minghao who was lying against one of the chairs. “I kinda want to swim. Do you think there’s enough time?”

“I don’t think the market is far from here, and everyone might swim tonight, so I’d wait.”

She clicked her tongue, nodding her head. “I suppose I’ll wait then.”

She slipped her other shoe off, rolling up her jeans and sitting on the edge of the pool. Hoshi approached her, acting as if he was gonna push her.

“Don’t you dare.”

“I didn’t do anything!” He threw his hands in the air.

“Let’s divide into 3 teams. Whoever loses has to cook dinner.” Mingyu suggested they play foot volleyball before the sun went down.

“Rosie should be paired with the best since she’s not that good.” Jeonghan joked while pointing at her. She scoffed.

“I know I’m bad, but I’m not that bad.”

“She would do decently if she just didn’t complain about her feet all the time.” Wonwoo defended her with his arms crossed on the couch.

As they separated into teams, Jun and Rosie were the last ones left. They settled on whoever won rock paper scissors would choose them for their teams.

“What if we were our own team?” She suggested, patting his shoulder.

He shook his head, telling the team captains to hurry up and do rock paper scissors. “We would be the worst team.”

“No! Have some faith in us.”

“Oh, I do have faith in myself, but I’m just saying it wouldn’t be fair to me since you’re not the best player.” Jun stated in the most monotone voice, causing Rosie’s jaw to fall flat. The members laughed at him before settling down and picking the last players. Woozi’s team first won, picking Jun. After a few rounds, the leader won the game of rock paper scissors, choosing Rosie to join them.

“I’ll try this time, I promise.”

Rosie did the final kick that won them the game. Wonwoo and S.Coups cheered for her, while she quickly ran over to her best friend and gave him several high fives.

“Joshua, Jun, and Rosie are the MVPs for tonight!” Seungkwan announced in his MC voice, clapping his hands.

“My heart is beating so fast, oh my god.” She put her hands on her hips, giggling like a little child.

“It was so much fun for us.” Dino spoke from across the net.

The members shouted “Seventeen’s TTT!” before waving goodbye to the cameras.

----------------

Your heart was beating nervously as your eyes wandered around the white room.

Your friends and family were in the room, talking about how happy they were to be at your wedding. They were dressed in beautiful white dresses and suits. Beside your chair stood tables with beautiful light blue vases placed on top of them with pink roses in them.

“I can't believe you're finally getting married!”

“When you throw the bouquet, make sure to launch it toward me!”

“I'm so happy for you!”

“I wonder what the groom is doing?”

“You look so beautiful, Y/N!”

There were supportive compliments all over the place, making your face and heart smile. You were sitting elegantly in the comfy chair, your dress puffy and silky, a beautiful white. The floral decorations and every little detail of the dress were beautiful. The see-through veil was over your head, behind your hair.

You looked down at the pink and red rose bouquet in your hand, smiling ear-to-ear. The day was finally here and you couldn't believe it. You were going to become a married woman and your most beloved man would become your husband. Husband and Wife, that title you had waited so long for, today was the day for it.

You and your groom had planned the wedding for months after having been engaged for two years. Chan was always very careful with the planning, considering your ideas and making sure that it was both of your wedding, not just “his wedding” or “my wedding”.

Sitting in the white box room with so many happy people and laughs surrounding you made you think back on the day when Chan, your boyfriend, first proposed.

The day was completely unexpected. It started as a normal day, nothing out of the ordinary. You woke up in the morning and saw your boyfriend's peaceful and cute sleeping face by your side; you brushed his hair and cheek softly, gave him his daily forehead kiss, and continued with your day.

Chan didn't act out of the ordinary either. He was still sweet and loving, giving you soft kisses on the cheek, quick and touchy pecks on the lips, and warmly wrapping his arms around you from the back, the side, and the front.

It was just a beautiful and sunny day in the summer. The sky was a beautiful blue and the clouds looked like they could form heaven.

You were just spending the day doing some cleaning and laying around lazily. Chan was out of the house and you figured that he was probably called in for some last-minute schedule or something.

Just then, you received a call from Chan.

“Hello?”

“Honey, come out, I want to take you somewhere.”

You were flustered but you got up from the couch and turned off the TV, heading out of the house with only your comfortable clothes.

“Where? I'm not dressed for anything formal.”

“It's okay, come quick!”

When you got in the car, Chan helped you buckle your seatbelt and then he sped off into the sunset. You were surprised at first and while on the ride, you kept asking him what was happening, but he just chuckled confidently and continued driving.

You two drove on top of a hill where the view of the golden sunset was beautiful. The rays of sunshine over the horizon, the beautiful sky that was painted with red, purple, pink, and blue, everything was so beautiful from above.

However, just as you two were enjoying the view, there was a roar of thunder, causing both of you to flinch and fly into each other's arms. You laughed with Chan as the rain began to fall and the wind began to blow roughly.

You two ran back to the car quickly and shielded yourselves from the sudden pouring rain. The knocks of the raindrops hitting the window were calming.

“How strange, rain in the summer?” You commented, laughing, reaching your arm out toward the backseat to grab a towel.

However, before you could get a hold of one, you heard Chan mutter, “Oh, the perfect day is ruined.”

You stopped and sat back in the passenger's seat, staring at your cute boyfriend who looked mature with his hair slightly wet from the rain; a sight similar to when he gets out of the shower.

“A perfect day?” You asked, your full attention on Chan.

“Yeah, I was actually,” Chan lifted his hand to reveal a small box. “Today I was going to make you mine forever.”

You were overjoyed as you glanced at the diamond ring then back at Chan who was smiling disappointedly. You were at the edge of tears but Chan didn't realize it until he finally turned back to you.

“Y/N...”

His eyes widened and a small smile appeared on his face.

You were smiling and the happiness was pouring out of your eyes.

“Today,” You said softly, cupping his face with your hands. “You can still make me yours.”

Chan smiled and let out a soft breath.

Just as you were about to recall that soft kiss, someone came into the room.

“It's time, are you ready?” He asked.

You looked up to see him, the man who would walk you down the aisle. You smiled, feeling the tears already begin forming in your eyes.

You picked up your dress and nodded, standing up. You were so caught up in your thoughts that you didn't realize everyone had gone back to the large, noisy room filled with guests.

You walked toward him. He had his arm reached out and you linked your arm with his. He flipped your veil over your head and whispered.

“You're finally getting married,” He said as he walked you to the aisle where your groom would be waiting with his hands together, in a neat suit that made him look handsome. “Make sure you don't forget about us even when you're married.”

You smiled gently and proceeded to walk down the aisle with him, one of the most important people in your life.

With Chan's friend, Jihoon playing the piano in the back, you walked down the aisle with your arm linked with his. Through the veil, you could see the person you loved the most waiting for you at the end of the aisle.

Chan was staring at you, stars twinkling in his dark eyes. He felt his heart race. He was awed by your beauty. Chan couldn't believe that he was marrying such a beautiful, loving, sweet, and caring person as you. The day he had been waiting for all his life; the day of his marriage, was finally here, and you, the person he loved most, was taking every step down that red carpet toward him.

As the piano being played by Jihoon came to a stop, you arrived at the end of the aisle, facing Chan.

He lifted the veil and without realizing it, he spat out, “Wow, you're really beautiful.”

The audience laughed.

-

Chan gulped as he opened up his personalized vow.

His eyes locked with you for a second before he looked back at his letter, clearing his throat then beginning the first sentence with a heart-fluttering smile.

The white in the wedding hall made his figure shine.

“First things first, I love you, Y/N. This is to my one and only. I don't know how to write a vow so for the first time, I researched hard on how to make one, only to end up going with whatever I felt like writing. I wanted to sound sincere because from this day on, I'm going to be your only husband. I know there are going to be times when we cry and get angry, but even then, I'd still love you. I'll be there for you through thick and thin and I'd go through whatever with you. I love you so much that it overpowers everything else in this world. I never knew I could love someone so much until you came into my world. You're a precious gem to me, you're rich in flavor, and I want all of you. I don't want to leave out a single speck of you when you're with me. I'm going to accept your everything and love you forever. I love you, Y/N. I promise to love you until the end.”

You smiled and watched as Chan finally lifted his head from the microphone that was pressed against his lips. All of the beautiful decorations that you two took so long to prepare didn't even matter anymore. All you could see was Chan.

Chan smiled shyly and then passed you the microphone. You gently smiled and unfolded the letter that you wrote a few days ago.

You took in a deep breath before glancing at Chan, who was staring at you with hearts in his eyes, then back at your paper filled with your hand-written vow.

“To the man I love the most, Lee Chan. I vow to love you forever. It may sound exaggerated in the future but now, to me, I want to believe that. I want to stay with you forever. I didn't think that I would be lucky to come across such passionate, beautiful, and emotional love but because of you, I can experience such sweetness. I love you so much, Chan. I promise to be your motivation, you could make me your muse. I'll try my best to be understanding and I'll fight my flaws for you. I'll be the best version of me, because, well, you bring the best of me out. I love you so much and this vow can't even express how much more I want to do for you. I love you.”

Chan was grinning ear-to-ear. He was happy. This day may have been the best day of his life.

He brought the cold ring into his warm fingers as he picked up your elegant hand. With his eyes on your hand, he gently slid the ring into your ring finger, the place where it belonged.

You did the same, placing the ring onto his finger as if sealing a promise that you knew you wouldn't regret.

Of course, you two didn't even hesitate to say “I do” when asked.

Chan knew that his members would probably tease him a little but he couldn't help but hold your face gently with his hand and plant a sweet and genuine kiss on your lips to further seal the promise of loving each other forever. Chan kissed you softly as the guests cheered; the members of SEVENTEEN either were laughing or shouting while clapping or clapping.

-

When you and Chan threw the bouquet, it landed in the hands of Seungkwan. You and your relatives, friends, plus Chan's relatives and friends then snapped a “family” picture in memory of the wedding.

After that, your boyfriend's mixtape “0” was put on by the DJs Seokmin and Soonyoung. You found the song choice a bit strange but everyone seemed to be loving it as it transformed the wedding hall into a dance floor under a disco ball.

Chan was dancing around you romantically and you were having the most fun you've ever had in your life, dancing with the people that were most special and important to you; all your friends and close relatives. Chan didn't hesitate to make you join in on his crazy dance moves.

The members of SEVENTEEN were also going crazy with their youngest brother, Chan, who they practically raised. They were overjoyed at Chan's wedding and may have been too excited.

Some people were dancing, some were conversing, and some were eating the delicious wedding cake and delicacies that were prepared; also sipping drinks and eating dinner.

Chan was holding your hand and dancing. His dances were funny but also cool.

After a while of dancing, he pulled you close to his chest amid the cheering crowds.

“Are you having fun?” Chan asked, wrapping his hands around your waist.

You smiled and threw your arms around his shoulders.

“Of course, my husband.”

Chan chuckled. “Gosh, that sounds nice. Call me that again.”

You leaned in a bit closer and said softly, “My husband.”

Chan giggled out of joy, holding you closer in the crazy atmosphere.

Your foreheads kissed and he said softly, “I swear, I'm going to spend every day with you. You're freaking perfect.”

“Back to you,” You replied, pinching his cheeks softly.

“Aww, look at them,” Jeonghan said, sipping a bit of the wine that was on the table.

“You're drinking already?” Seungcheol asked.

Jeonghan turned to Minghao and Mingyu who were already celebrating Chan's marriage with alcohol while reminiscing the days when Chan was still considered a baby.

Wonwoo, who was watching Chan dance with you fondly smiled. Vernon placed his hand on Wonwoo's shoulder, knowing how proud Wonwoo was of Chan and how far they had all come together.

Joshua and Jun were losing themselves on the dance floor with BooSeokSoon, jamming to their song, “VERY NICE”, which was also quite a strange choice for wedding music.

With Chan still holding you tightly, you gave him a quick kiss on the lips.

“I love you,” you said.

Your eyes held the most sincerity and Chan could see it as he stared into those beautiful eyes with his dazzling, just as sincere ones.

“I know,” Chan replied, returning the peck. “And I love you too. Should I sing a song for you after this?”

You hit his chest playfully and you both giggled.

The exchanges of “I love you” seemed like another promise; to stay with each other forever.

[kshira]

could i get hc for your first time with oikawa lev and makki???? please!

first times with oikawa, lev & hanamaki

ღ ◟ t/w| f!reader, smut, 18+ & cursing

◟ an: i wrote this as your first time with them in general, not your first time. i hope you enjoy lovely!

toru oikawa

it’ll be a good six months or more before oikawa finally takes you

he for sure does the hookups but once he’s found someone he truly cares for i see him waiting until the time is right

also he’s cocky for sure & always very proud of any reaction he can get from you

now don’t think beforehand he’s not going to tease throughout the months leading to it, makeout & dry humping, you know, the works

+

it had been what felt like hours since you’ve been doing this.

doing what?

making out with the great oikawa, of course.

and now he had you pulled on his lap, his soft lips peppering your bruised and tattered neck while his graceful fingers had stripped you from all of your clothes except for the paper thin laced panties you wore all while oikawa was still fully clothed. shifting your position on him with a roll of his hips you were swung forward to now straddling him, both your legs propped on either side of him.

“ah, look at you now. so needy and whiny this past hour, and all i’ve done is kiss you—“ he placed his long fingers on your neck where the purple bites had coated the flesh “right here” with the burn of his touch on the skin you let a moan out.

smirking to himself he grabbed your hips and dug his nails into the flesh and started a rocking motion on his hardened member.

digging your face into the crook of his neck you let out mumbled words. with a hitch in his breath oikawa slowed the pace “hmm what was that?” he chuckled.

“please stop the—“ you choked as oikawa grinded down harder onto your neglected clit. “teasing!” throwing your head back to the sensations it was rocking through your body.

“hmm, daddy says..no.” oikawa grunts out as he feels your slick seaping through the fabric of his sweatpants and starting to drench him.

after having to go through the disgusting denial of wanting to feel him inside you even texts and even dirty talk on the phone he had promised for the next time, you had enough.

sloppily kissing his smooth lips you started bouncing on him and dug deep with your nails into his forearms you had been using as your ground. listening to his pretty grunts and slurred moans escaping from him you glanced down at him “look at me my pretty boy, you’re going to fuck me and you’re going to fuck me now.”

the way your words rumbled through your lips in a sinful taunt made oikawa bore his chocolate eyes into you “you just want it so bad huh? want me to fuck you so bad you’re willing to be so vulgar now?” he says now with a vein pulsing on his forehead he pulled his cock free and stoked it a couple of times before he yanked your panties to the side and sheathed himself inside of you.

a rupture of moans come out of your mouth as oikawa started to move inside of you at a merciless pace “i hope you can take it, princess” he grunted out while his hand swiped your hair out of your face so he could admire what he was doing to you.

lev haiba

well i lied because as beautiful and wholesome this man is, he’s dumb

so yeah he’s a virgin but really i just see him almost doing the do and then he just doesn’t

but after meeting you, he just feels comfortable waiting whenever you are ready

yeah you might have to direct him in the right direction but honestly once he’s got it, buckle the fuck up

+

lev’s tall and lanky body draped overs yours while you two laid on his oversized bed, he had both hands planted firmly beside each sides of your reddened cheeks. he held his cock in his hand directly infront of your pulsing core, stroking it every couple of minutes while his emerald eyes hungerily took in your naked form.

to get where you laid now you had mentioned to him in the weeks before that you were ready to have sex with him, he laughed it at off first saying you didn’t have to be so serious about it, it’d happen whenever he didn’t care. but that was a lie you had found out, because finally he blurted it out as you two sat on the couch together “i am a virgin” he said never leaving his stare on the tv.

“oh, uh congratulations?” you mummered, your face covered in confusion. and at first lev was embarrassed to be a virgin, but as he saw your persona never fading from him he took it in that you really didn’t care about it and you loved him for him.

“ah lev.” you moaned out as lev shifted closer, his cock grazing your core once again.

“oh god, did i— did i hurt you?” lev yelped out with fear lingering in his eyes.

“it’s not even in yet.” you chuckled back.

lev sucked in a sharp breath dropping his shoulders you could see the frustration written on his face, reaching your hand to cup his cheek you caressed it with you thumb. your eyes gleamed up at him in adoration, making lev heart feel full giving him that push of confidence.

he smiled down at you before finally pushing hisself into you, arching your back upwards from him stretching you and the feeling in your stomach wincing as he bottomed out, you clung onto him as he started moving slowly.

wrapping your arms up on his back you started raking your nails up and down on him, lev leaned down and dug his face deep into your neck while his lips played humming moans in your ear.

the sounds of the bed creaking, and lev chanting your name coated in little i love yous while you bounced back the sweet little praises every time he pushed a deep stroke was enough to drown out all other outside forces and worries for that day.

takahiro hanamaki

oh yeah he’s going to be slaying pussy before you i mean, have you seen this man?

but once he met you, and developed feelings for you he’s hooked

the same for oikawa he will wait because he wants it to be special

but he is the definition of TEASE

really though, look up his name in the dictionary and it’s right there

+

pulling you into a hug makki looks down at you his lips curling into a michevious smile “i’ve missed you so much little one” you escape one of your hands from his grip and pat at his chest “whatever, just yesterday you were complaining that i’m breathing too much of your precious air.” he leans down further to you and brushes his lips on yours. “mm yeah that’s right, lets save some.” he chuckles and the single space was closed, his lips pushed into yours at a smooth pace he kisses softly, but delicately while his large hands roamed your curves.

with the motion of your two bodies moving together you both collapsed on his bed, makki larger frame hovering over yours. his soft brown eyes asking for permission while you wrapped your arms around his neck and ran your fingers through his soft pink locks.

you nodded and his hands flew up under your shirt and palmed at your mounds before taking your pebbled buds in his fingers and rolling them. tiny moans bubbled from your lips as he pushed your shirt and bra up and gazed at your exposed breast in all its enterity.

lingering your fingers down to the hem of his shirt you pull it over his head and trace the lean muscles he had carved on his stomach. taking one of his hand he snakes it down your stomach before reaching your core, “is this okay?” he whispers hovering his larger digit right infront of the bundle of nerves that were just aching.

landing your hands back on your breast you squeeze them slightly and produce an innocent nod causing makki to grow even harder at the sight. digging his finger in he starts to rub soft circles while attaching his lips to a sensitive spot on your neck he’d learn from the numerous makeout sessions with you.

setting your hand flat down on his mattress and setting ground to euphoria of pleasuring washing through your body jerking and twitching as makki dug deeper into your core.

“no matter how many times i’ve had you like this under me, you always look even more beautiful” makki whispers into your neck as he added another digit into you and started a fast paced rhythm.

watching your eyes shut and flutter back open at his changes in motions, and knowing he could almost control your body with his touch was enough to make him fuck you right then and there. but, as makki had explore your body from time to time and sewn feelings for you into his heart he really wanted this to be different, everything about it.

listening to your moans and spews of curses knocked him from his lingering thoughts to find you below him, holding back a devilish grin he dug a final deep stroke into your sopping cunt, the explosion of the climax finally rearing its head into you after feeling like hours of on the edge.

pushing yourself into his palm you moan out “ttt—takahiro more please” he guides you with your finishing wave of the orgasm and pulls out slowly smiling at your fucked out state

“oh no no no pretty girl” he pulls up your underwear and then guides your shorts up “for me to fully indulge you, i’d rather take it oh so slowly.” he says drawing out the last words around his tongue while it’s wrapped around his fingers tasting you.

Freaky On Camera

Osamu, Oikawa, Sakusa reacting to their s/o sending them the lyrics to Doja Cat’s ‘Cyber Sex’ (like the tiktok challenge).

Miya Osamu x Reader

Oikawa Tooru x Reader

Sakusa Kiyoomi x Reader

I hope this is fine Anon~ This is my first time writing Sakusa so I hope it isn’t too ooc,,,, I really like him LOL. Also, I don’t support Miss Doja or condone any of her actions because that bitch never really apologized for the shit she pulled. However, her music does slap. 

WC- 1,485

~~~

Miya Osamu

I wanna get freaky on camera

‘Samu would know what tiktok is but I don’t know if he would be on it,,,,,

He would be familiar with it because of Atsumu, you can’t tell me that mf does not make thirst trap tiktoks that gain hundreds of thousands of likes 

So Osamu would know the gist of the app but he probably has zero clue of what happens on it

He’d take your snaps so seriously like this mf would actually think you’re going to sext him LMFAOO

Please, he would be so pissed when he finds out they are lyrics and not your actual thoughts

His reaction would be so funny, it would be dirty talk like ‘how badly do you want it?’

And then you’d post it on tiktok and it would go viral because of how intense his reaction is

Osamu only finds out because Atsumu shows him your video, his brother would be like “’Samu you were on my fyp!”

And Osamu is like “tf is a fyp”

Osamu would be sooo mad, he’d start ignoring you, you’d have to stroke his ego a little bit to get him to forgive you

“Osamu.” Silence. “O-sa-mu.” Silence. You puff your cheeks out in frustration and stare the side of your boyfriend’s face, he refuses to even look at you. “I’m sorry.” You apologize and Osamu turns to look at you, narrowing his eyes to pierce you in the process.

“Look at this comment. ‘chill out dude, it’s just some song lyrics’ It got twelve thousand likes.” Your boyfriend complains and you move to sit next to him on his bed though, with the way Osamu is moving away from you, he would rahter cuddle with the wall before he touches you.

“Yeah but the top comment says that I’m so lucky because you’re such a cute boyfriend! It has forty thousand likes!” You try and compromise and Osamu pouts a little bit. “Everyone is just jealous that they don’t have an Osamu, and I do!” You lean down and presses kisses all over his face, Osamu scrunches his nose.

“You want to know why I was so mad?” He wraps his arms around your waist and brings you into his chest, laying you down on top of him.

“Why?” You ask cautiously and continue to stare him in the eye.

“Because I got a boner from those pictures,” Osamu confesses and you don’t know whether you want to coo in awe or laugh out loud.

“Seriously?” You refuse to believe it. 

“Seriously.” He confirms and you laugh so hard his entire house shakes, you don’t stop laughing even when tears are streaming down your cheeks and when Osamu pushes you off of him to sulk against his wall.

“I’m flattered, my sweet precious love~” You coo but can’t help the chuckles that leave your lips. “Awe, baby, are you mad at me again?” You poke Osamu’s arm and he growls in annoyance. “Let me make it up to you, I’ll take care of all your boner problems.”

Not before you laugh for the next twenty minutes, after that, then you will start to do stroke his cock ego.

Oikawa Tooru

Wish you were here right now, all of the things I’d do

You don’t think the Tiktok legend Oikawa Tooru wouldn’t recognize what you’re doing the second you send it?? Because he would,,

Let’s say you do try it, you’re not going to get that far

After you send the first lyric, Oikawa will literally send you the rest of the lyrics with his own pictures to match

You don’t even have time to process that he overtook your challenge

I feel like, Oikawa would then post his photos later and tell his followers that he did the challenge better than you

You best believe his comments are full of people kissing his ass and telling him how cute he is

The tiktok went viral, by the way, Oikawa is a tiktok star

“Why can’t you let me have my moment Tooru?”

“Because I do it better, (Y/N)!”

Oikawa would then redo another challenge with you and make sure you’re the star in it so you can have your five minutes of fame. It would also go viral, but not as viral as his videos of him and Matsukawa

I wanna touch on you. You send Oikawa a picture of yourself as you lay back on your bed, your mind ruled with boredom. The curiosity of how Oikawa would react keeps clouding your mind. Before you even get a second to take the next picture Oikawa has already snapped you back. 

You click on the little red square and screenshot the mirror picture Oikawa sent you. His back is arched like he is trying to break it and his head is tilted at an odd angle. You see me in my room.

You barely get enough time to screenshot the picture before Oikawa sends another. This time when you open it, it is him and Matsukawa. It’s another mirror pic and their hands are curved into little hearts. Wish you were here right now.

You decided to let Oikawa take over the challenge and just wait patiently for his next snap, each picture he sends gathers more people. In this snap, it is him, Matsukawa and Hanamaki. It’s just a simple selfie with all of them cheesing like the dorks that they are. All of the things I’d do.

In the back of your mind, you start to wonder where Iwaizumi is. The next picture comes just as quickly as the first three and this time, it is just Oikawa and Iwaizumi. Mainly Oikawa with Iwaizumi in the back trying to practice his serve. I wanna get freaky on camera.

The next photo doesn’t come for another ten minutes, this time it is a Hanamaki centered photo. It’s a selfie with his bright smile and in the background, Oikawa is getting smack upside the head by Iwaizumi. I love when we get freaky on camera. ;-)

Sakusa Kiyoomi

I wanna touch on you

Sakusa is the type to always be on his phone and never answer your texts

He’d purposely swipe away your notification until he wants to open it, you’ve seen him do it with your own eyes

When he finally does open your snaps, he leaves them on open

LMFAO then he will text you three hours later asking if you had dinner yet, caring boyfriend thingz~

If he does choose to respond to your snaps it’ll be something like ‘I’ve seen that before, try something else’

Or he will tease you and say ‘aren’t you supposed to send that to your boyfriend?’

Like Sakusa,,, a-aren’t you my boyfriend? TTT

I think he would screenshot your photos just to have them so he can always look at them and be soft

Or he would zoom in really close on your face and make it his lock screen so it’d look like you’re trapped in his screen

Someone would ask ‘who’s that on your phone’ and he’d just be like ‘my ugly s/o’ LOL

“Please, Kiyoomi.” You whine and stare at your boyfriend with puppy dog eyes. Sakusa dips his dark-haired head and stares at you back, his face emotionless. He sighs and goes back to scrolling through his phone. “Please do the tiktok trend with me or at least pretend to react.” You beg and Sakusa refrains from rolling his eyes, he glances at you once more and nods his head.

“Fine.” At his words you reach up and kiss his temple, your heart flutters when Sakusa leans into your touch. “What do I do?”

“Okay, so I am going to send you some snaps and you just have to send your reaction to me back in a snap.” You explain and Sakusa purse his lips into a little pout.

“Why do I have to do this?” He asks and you lay back to take your first snap.

“Because you love me~”

Much to your dismay, your answer is met with silence.

After you send the pictures you watch your boyfriend with hawk eyes at how he reacts. His face doesn’t change at all. He tilts his head in curiosity at one of the pictures and you note how he screenshots every single one of them. Sakusa glances at you and when you eagerly nod back at him he sends you a reply, a simple picture of his face and his familiar mask covering more than half of it.

The photo has a simple caption, busu.

“Can I post your picture?” You ask and Sakusa sighs, it’s not like it’s going to blow up right?

“Yes.”

Wrong choice Sakusa. The tiktok does blow up, and it’s only because all the comments are filled with how hot Sakusa is despite only being able to see his eyes and up.

WIP Wednesday

Thank you for tagging me, @ariendiel, @kiki-the-creator, @follies-fixture, @sailorpleiades, and @nerdferatum!

I'm back with the sequel because TTT is in tttrouble and I have already shared snippets of the mildly interesting scenes that I do have written, so... Yeah, sorry, but it's the same characters so bear with me lol

I'm tagging @lasswithumor, @kingkassam, @noahssidechick, and @juggalohenrik (If you want, of course, and I know it's late but just in case)

Liz gets a text in the middle of her welcome party and her reaction doesn't go unnoticed... So now that everyone's gone to their own homes...

***

Lucas went into the bathroom to shower and as soon as the door closed behind him Liz plumped down on the bed, lying on her stomach and burying her face in the duvet. Why? Why now? Since when do you care, [redacted]? You had five years to do this; why the fuck now? And what are the fucking odds you ended up living here, out of all the fucking cities in bloody England.

She turned over and brought her feet up on the bed. She pressed her fingers onto her eyes. Why can't I be happy for more than a day at a time? We endured almost three months of long distance for him to come out of the fucking blue the first day I officially move here? What does he want? There's no way he actually means it. What the fuck does he want? Has he seen the show? He must have seen at least some of it. What has he seen?

Maybe he genuinely wants to apologize, why not give him the benefit of the doubt? Because he was outright cruel, Liz. But that was five years ago; five years ago I was crying my eyes out on my bed while trying to get through finals. People change, learn, grow... But has he really?

She jumped to her feet in a single movement when the bathroom door opened back again. She avoided looking at Lucas and opened a drawer to get a pyjama.

Lucas leaned against the doorframe and looked at her. Her startled jump hadn't gone unnoticed. Are you half gazelle or something? What the fuck was that? This is starting to get ridiculous.

"What's going on, Liz?" His voice was calm, but firm.

She closed her eyes and discretely took a deep breath, still facing away from him. She looked down at her hands, grabbing onto the satin pyjama still inside the drawer.

"I told you, love, nothing you should worry-"

"Yeah, it's too late for that."

She closed her eyes again and put both hands on top of the dresser, leaning slightly forward. She took another deep breath that hitched when she felt his arms wrap around her waist. He kissed her temple. You get this jumpy about something and you're asking me not to worry? Me? Really?

"It's something I have to deal with on my own, Lucas."

He made her turn around and guided her to the bed. He sat and she stood between his legs, still avoiding his eyes. Lucas took her hands and placed them on his shoulders, and his found her hips.

"Liz, please. Maybe I can help."

She laughed somewhat bitterly. "Yeah, no, you definitely can't."

Lucas raised an eyebrow. "Wow. Okay..."

Liz finally looked at him, grabbing his face with both hands. She ran her thumbs along his cheekbones, looking at his face but avoiding his eyes. This is so unfair to you. I'm sorry. "I'm sorry, Lucas. But this is something I have to deal with myself."

"You keep saying that... Let me at least be there for you."

"You can do that without the details."

He raised an eyebrow again. "I really can't imagine what would upset you this much... If it were something actually silly you wouldn't be hiding it like this."

She walked away from him, wrapping her arms around herself as she paced the room. "I'm not hiding anything," Her tone was starting to shift towards defensive territory, "but it's still something I have to deal with on my own."

"Why?"

"Because."

"That's it? That's your argument? Just because?"

"This has nothing to do with you. I don't want to involve you when-"

This is getting annoying. Stop it with the bullshit. "I'm your boyfriend, Liz, I'm already involved."

"Yes, but I don't want you to- Are we really having an argument on our first night living together, Lucas?" Drop it. Just drop it, don't ruin this.

He raised both hands in an exasperated gesture. "Apparently. Not what I planned, but here we are." You really thought that would be enough to make me back off from this?

"We wouldn't if you'd just let this go."

"We wouldn't if you just told me what the fuck is going on with you! You're the one keeping secrets!"

Liz stopped in her tracks. She breathed in deeply and leaned her back against the wall. Keeping secrets was something she promised herself she would never do with Lucas. Their relationship's foundation was built on honesty, and she had sworn to keep it that way. That was what drew them to each other when they first met, it was what got them back together, it had been a constant in every single interaction. It was what made them feel safe enough to fall in love.

She was not compromising that. She was not breaking that promise, even if he didn't know she'd made it. A couple of possible scenarios ran through her head; all bad. This is your past, Liz. Everyone around you knows about it; he's gonna have to know too, eventually. Let's see how much worse this day can get. She exhaled slowly as she slid down the wall until she was sitting on the floor.

Lucas' heart skipped a beat. What the hell is this?

"Liz?"

The deep worry in his voice made her heart ache. She opened her eyes and looked into his.

"You're either gonna completely dismiss this, or you're gonna freak out. And I need you to do neither." Her voice was strong, but pleading.

"... Okay..." Lucas held her gaze as he moved to sit on the floor in front of her, not touching her but close enough to do so.

"Do you remember, back at the Villa, when you asked me if my heart had ever been broken?"

"Yes, you said it had."

"Well, turns out he moved to Oxford at the beginning of the year." She said it quickly, as if that could empty the words from their meaning or, even better, from their implications.
