Edge knew that he wouldn’t be able to carry Stretch for long. They were barely down the hallway to the stairs when warning twinges started up in his leg, and he could only ignore it for so long before he setback his own recovery. He resented that lingering weakness, hated that someone had stolen, albeit temporarily, his ability to physically take his willing husband to wherever he wished to put him. Hated that Stretch no longer flung himself at Edge from their front porch, trusting that he would be caught.

A return to that would come, he reminded himself. For now, he simply had to get Stretch to the car. He wasn’t about to let him walk downstairs with the delicate bones of his feet exposed to the floor of that filthy, junk-strewn warehouse anymore than they already had and perhaps Stretch realized that as well. His protests were brief and faded quickly.

“babe, no, your leg!” Stretch made a weak attempt at squirming loose, “i can walk!”

“You are in your bare feet,” Edge said shortly, “there is angel knows what foulness on this floor, and I am not letting you go.”

“guess i can’t argue that," Stretch sighed. "okay, captain. make it quick.”

“You’ve never said that before,” Edge murmured and Stretch let out a startled laugh that was always lovely to hear, but especially tonight. He really was all right if he could laugh like that, deep and sweet and loud.

So, Edge carried on down the stairs, past the melting remains of some kind of chemical foam, and Stretch didn’t struggle, a wise choice considering it would probably have sent them both tumbling down. He simply sighed and wrapped his slim arms around Edge’s neck, his skull resting lightly against his shoulder.

He was exhausted, Edge realized belatedly, already mentally berating himself. Of course he was, it was past the point of being late and going more into early, and the only sleep Stretch had had tonight was deliberately induced unconsciousness.

Better not to think about that. Seeing Stretch awake and hearing his laughter already relieved some of the raw, achy heat in his soul, there was no point in agitating it again. Surreptitiously, Edge ducked his head enough to breathed in the sweet scent of his husband’s magic, letting it further ease the dimming clamor of his LV demanding retribution. Much as he hated admitting when his brother was right, it would be best to let the Embassy security teams handle the kidnappers. Not that Edge wouldn’t be intently watching the results, but Edge knew himself well enough that he couldn’t promise not to react with violence if he saw any of them in person.

They’d stolen from him. Not a possession, no, love was not something to be owned, but it could be given, along with his soul, and Edge had given his to the very person they’d tried to use as a mere tool to be bartered with and after, they would have surely discarded him as nothing more than a useless object, a means to an end.

There was only one punishment suitable for that and Edge did not trust himself not to mete it out.

Outside, the night air was cool, refreshing after the dusty warehouse, and there was a new vehicle amidst the Embassy cars. An ambulance, the lights swirling silently atop, and the back doors were open with a stretcher already on the pavement. When the attendants saw them, they started forward, and in his arms, Stretch tensed, shifting as if to crawl up and over him in a wild attempt at escape.

“no,” Stretch said shortly. “no, no, no, don’t let the damsel in distress pose fool you, i am fine. all i need is a stiff drink and some zzz’s, this is me not consenting to any medical treatment.”

“Love—” Edge began. Stretch swung around to look at him, the pale glare of his eye lights accusing, and he backtracked, choosing his words carefully, “You were drugged. Perhaps it would be best if you were checked out.”

That suggestion was met with fierce scorn as Stretch scoffed, "yeah, i was drugged and now i am wide awake. i can tell you my name, my address, and my shoe size, and whoever tries to get me into the back of that wah-wah-mobile is gonna know it, too, when i shove my foot up their ass.”

“kinky.” Edge whirled to see his brother’s smirking face as he strolled towards them. “wellie, well, well, went fishin’ and got a hellava catch, eh, boss?”

In his arms, Stretch stiffened so briefly, he might have imagined it. He blinked rapidly, once, twice, as if to clear his vision, then relaxed again, settling on a wheedle in Red’s direction, “fishing jokes are so cliché, cooking is better. i’m the best cupcake in the bakery, so let him wrap me up and take me home. come on, tell them i’m fine.”

Red scratched the back of his skull lazily, “dunno, honeybun, might need a tune-up and an oil change—”

“quit switching the metaphors!” Stretch let go of Edge long enough to flip a middle finger at him.

Red snorted, amused, “yeah, yeah, he can take you home. if,” Red stressed, “you take a mo’ to strip off the new gear those assholes gave you.”

“aw, gee, red,” Stretch batted a pair of imaginary eyelashes, “you’ve never asked me to strip before. i’m not even wearing a g-string, where will you stuff the dollars?”

“cute,” Red’s grin widened in a way that made Edge want to carry his husband far away. The way he bared his teeth venturing into the realm of amused cruelty, and the flick of his tongue absurdly lascivious, “it’s evidence and we need it. if you’d rather change up at the bone factory, bet the docs could take a chance to check you out—”

“no!” Stretch yelped, “no, no, fine. you have something for me to change into?”

“yep.” And Red pointed to the back of the ambulance. “in there.”

Stretch rolled his eye lights. “wow,” he said dryly, “that trap isn’t even subtle. you want i should strap myself into the stretcher, too? check my vitals, start an iv?”

“it’s the only place to change, so either trust that we’ll do a catch and release, or…” Red trailed off meaningfully.

Stretch heaved a sigh and started squirming in Edge’s arms, wincing at the gravel as he was carefully set on the pavement. “back to fishing, huh? fine, fine. but if it drives off in the hospital way when i climb in the back, I’m shortcutting at the first stoplight and then we can play tag across town.”

“I won’t let them take you anywhere you don’t want to go, love.” Edge signed a little ‘x’ over his chest. Stretch’s scrutinizing look shifted to a soft smile and even though he would have preferred a doctor checking him over, Edge wouldn’t do anything to break the trust shining in his eye lights, not for anything in the world.

“okay, babe,” Stretch said, “give me five.”

He climbed into the ambulance, pulling the rear doors shut behind him. After a few minutes of the vehicle shaking and muffled swearing coming through the door, Stretch remerged. The clothes weren’t his own, but they fit, soft pants and a neon-bright sweatshirt that Stretch could have chosen himself, a far contrast to the cheap, bland clothes their kidnappers forced on them. Edge suspected his brother’s hand in it and wondered with some resignation if Red sent someone to purchase them tonight or if he simply kept spare clothes for them all in the dingy hole in the Embassy basement that passed as his office, for just such an occasion.

Probably the latter, Red was never one who minded delegating, but some things required a personal touch.

With visible distaste, Stretch handed over a large brown paper sack to Red. “take ‘em,” he said flatly. “burn them, whatever. i never want to see them again.”

“fair enough,” Red handed the bag off to one of the Embassy security who was standing close by with a muttered order. “all right, newly engaged goes next.”

Their Human friends were standing close by, both silently watching the entertainment, which was fair after the recent show upstairs. With the spotlight turned his way, Jeff hastily nodded and Antwan carefully set him on his feet, his hands lingering and reluctant to let him go.

“You two can head on home,” Antwan said, “We’re taking one of the Embassy cars.”

“yeah, okay, sounds good.” But Stretch didn’t return to Edge. He went to Jeff, leaning down to pull him into a tight hug that was fiercely returned. “hey, we made it, and you even got a special prize to top it off. congrats, bro,” Stretch told him.

It was charming the way Jeff’s cheeks went visibly pink even in the harsh overhead lights of the parking lot, but if this horrible night could end for him on a smile, Edge thought it fitting. No one said a word until the friends ended their embrace, Jeff heading into the ambulance to change and Stretch returning to Edge’s side, if not his arms.

“hey, honey bun.” Stretch paused, giving Red a questioning look, “i’ll have your cell phone back to you tomorrow.”

His face twitched but Stretch only nodded. He turned in a circle, his gaze searching, until it landed on Edge’s car parked on the far side of the lot. He started towards it and as slippers were included with his new wardrobe, Edge reluctantly allowed Stretch to walk on his own towards it.

Before he’d taken two steps, a small voice came from behind them. “Can I ride back with you two?”

Alone on the crumbling pavement, Blue stood there, his hands twisting together and his starry eye lights hesitant and hopeful. For the second time that night Edge cringed inwardly at not thinking of him.

“sure, bro,” Stretch said immediately. His eye lights flicked briefly to Edge to confirm, surprising him.

Of course he could come with them, why wouldn’t he…they needed to invite Blue over more often, Edge decided abruptly. They saw him often on movie nights and group events, and he knew that the Swap brothers had lunch together once a week, but he should spend more time with his brother, and with Edge.

Once, they’d been decently good friends, before his relationship with Stretch subtly cooled things between them. They could be friends again, better friends, if only one of them took the first step. Interesting how traumatic events could be a hell of an incentive.

“Of course,” Edge told him, and tried not to notice the sudden gratitude that filled Stretch’s face. He dug into his pocket for his keys and tossed them to Blue, who caught them with a jangle. “In fact, I’d prefer if you’d drive.”

Blue brightened visibly at the show of trust, darting over to the car. He held open the door as Stretch crawled into the back and didn’t so much as raise an eyebrow when Edge followed him.

“home, jeeves,” Stretch said. The last word broke on a deep yawn and he shifted to sprawl across the backseat, his skull in Edge’s lap.

“Seatbelt,” Edge chided.

“you put it on me,” Stretch grumbled. He didn’t move as Edge did, only settled in more comfortably once the belt was across him. He was asleep before they’d even left the parking lot, without so much as an ounce of deception in his long, slow breaths.

Cautiously, Edge settled his bare hands on him, choosing where to settle them with some care, one hand on his clothed side and the other on his skull with more palm than fingers. He wished for a pair of his gloves to keep the sharpened tips safely concealed. Earlier, he’d wanted his hands exposed and ready to be used, and now in the aftermath, he wanted them tucked away again, the same as he’d learned to conceal his other, more Underfell-ian tendencies. Only bringing them out when they were useful, like a set of heirloom dishes, then hiding them at the back of the hutch again to gather dust.

(don’t think of it that way, do not)

He resisted the urge to clench his hands, closed his sockets and tried to concentrate on the feel of warm bone under his bare hand. Stretch often carried spare gloves for him in his bag, never questioning Edge’s preference, never mocked or teased; he didn’t just accept that quirk, he embraced it and tried to help. If he were awake, he would have been pleased at the bare-handed touch, he would understand the significance of it and Edge focused on that.

It helped soothe some of his agitation and when Edge opened his sockets again, he was surprised to see the Embassy gates already looming ahead. “Drop us off, you can take my car home tonight.”

Blue nodded silently, his gaze focused intently on the road. There wasn’t even a teasing, if pointed, joke about Edge letting his car out of his sight. The car didn’t matter, all that was important was in his arms right now.

He pulled into their driveway and Blue held the door again as Edge carefully lifted Stretch into his arms. He paused long enough for Blue to press a gentle kiss to his brother’s skull, murmuring something Edge did not hear, then carried him inside as the car pulled out of the drive behind him. He hoped Papyrus was home, surely he was, and that he would know that Blue could use some friendly companionship after this night.

He would know, Edge decided firmly. This was Papyrus he was thinking of and it was likely he already had a pot of strong tea and some very interesting cookies ready to share, along with a blanket and some Mettaton reruns. Blue would be fine for tonight and tomorrow he could come over again, after they’d all had some necessary sleep.

He carried Stretch inside and settled him on the sofa. Upstairs would have been better, but he needed a moment for his leg to recover before taking him any further. Not that Stretch noticed, he only slept on, sleepily burrowing into the blanket Edge draped carefully over him.

Indecision seized Edge then. There were things that needed to be done, but leaving Stretch here alone made uneasiness stir in his soul. In the end, he checked the door and window locks to make sure they were secured and that their alarm system was on before he reluctantly went upstairs to run a bath and lay out pajamas. It would be testing Stretch’s ability to sleep through anything, but those Humans had touched him, laid their filthy hands on him. A quick wash would go a long way for both of them to get some decent rest.

He waited for the tub to fill with foamy bubbles, the unsubtle floral scent of lavender filling the room, before heading back downstairs. He halted on the landing, his soul seizing in his chest, to see that the sofa was empty, the blanket thrown carelessly back.

Edge closed his sockets and took a long, deep breath, settling his rattled nerves. Yes, Stretch was missing again, but this time, he suspected he knew exactly where he’d gone.

The sliding glass door was now unlocked, and Edge opened it to step out into the backyard. Dewy grass clung to his shoes as he walked and the horizon was overflowing with purples and pinks and deep orange, heralding the arrival of the sun.

The fence was standing open, confirming his suspicions, and Edge opened the coop door to find Stretch sitting on the floor, heedless of its less than sterile state. Nugget was in his lap, magnanimous surrendering her a scritches to her small, adopted duckling that was curled up on Stretch’s knee, mumbling out sleepy little quacks as it was gently stroked.

Stretch didn’t look up. “hey, babe,” he mumbled.

Edge sank down to sit next to them, pressing their sides together from shoulder to hip. “You could have warned me,” Edge said.

It was lightly said, but Stretch flinched, shifting to rest his head on Edge’s shoulder. “sorry, wasn’t thinking.”

“I’d say you’re still not,” Edge agreed. “are you even awake?”

“prolly not.”

They sat together in the dimly lit coop, the silence broken only by the faint sleeping rumbles from the chickens. Neither of them were prepared for Cheese to stir, going from sleeping to wide awake in an instant the moment they noticed the open door. With a riot of happy peeps, they hopped from Stretch’s knee, dodging Edge’s grab as they ran outside to plunge into the new pond, swimming circles in the clear water.

They followed them out, “No, not right now,” Edge began, preparing to wade in if necessary to secure their tiniest poultry companion.

“eh, let ‘em play," Stretch yawned. He sank down on the walkway they’d finished only the day before. “let them have some fun. may as well, i'm really tired, but i dunno if i can sleep yet."

Edge nodded and settled next to him again. The brickwork was hard beneath his tailbone and he made a mental note to have a bench of some sort installed. He should have thought of it before, Stretch enjoyed watching his pets, and both the patio and the porch swing were too far away for proper observation. Rather than allow Stretch to sit on the stones, he pulled his love into his lap, holding him close without impeding his view. "We can wait until you're ready."

"gonna have nightmares,” Stretch said abruptly. His voice was smaller and knowingly weary. "i was scared, you know, but andy was there, and he was scareder. his face was," Stretch gestured at his own face and shook his head. "i couldn't let him get hurt. i couldn’t."

It ached to hear that soft confession, though he’d known Stretch must have been frightened. He pushed the image of Stretch waking up terrified and surrounded by enemies out of his mind, saying firmly, "You didn't, you protected him."

"he wouldn't need protecting if he'd stayed in his seat on that bus all those months back,” Stretch said sourly and that was a notion that couldn’t wait for his therapist to address.

"Don't,” Edge told him softly, “Don't take on blame that isn't yours, you don’t deserve to carry their guilt."

"heh, yeah. you're one to talk."

“I know. So you can believe I know what I’m talking about.”

“don’t worry, babe, i know something about carrying guilt that ain’t yours, too.” Before Edge could question that, Stretch sighed heavily, confessing, "i knew one of the guys."

That was a chilling admission. "You did."

"yeah, he used to work at classic books,” Stretch said. He shifted in Edge’s arms, unconsciously pushing in closer. “had an issue with monsters, but i didn't think anything of it. lots of humans do. he never said anything out loud that i ever heard. last i knew, thomas said he quit. thomas was happier for it, he was about to fire the guy, anyway, him quitting made his life easier."

“Does my brother know this?”

“if he didn’t before, pretty sure he already does now, but i’ll tell him during my little interview tomorrow.” In his arms, Stretch shivered, bones briefly rattling. “when i saw him, saw into his—” Stretch stopped abruptly, “anyway. he’s not a nice guy, babe. not at all.”

“I see,” Edge said, slowly. There were depths in that obvious diverting should be explored, questions to ask, but that could wait for tomorrow. “Let’s go inside and get cleaned up, all right?”

“yeah, okay.” Stretch crawled out of his arms to the side of the pond and rather than fruitlessly chasing Cheese, he held out a hand. It took hardly more than a touch of blue magic to pull the little duckling close, their pitiful quacks as they were once more robbed of their watery freedom filling the air. “yeah, i know,” Stretch soothed, “tomorrow, okay? i’ll let you swim ‘till you’re sick of it, kiddo.”

He returned the duckling to Nugget, who unsympathetically tucked the peeping duckling beneath her, and when Stretch turned back to Edge, his gaze sharpened suddenly as he watched Edge climb to his feet. “where’s your cane?”

“I was getting it as we speak.”

“uh huh, from inside the house, it’s so useful in there. you,” Stretch jabbed a slender finger at him, “you’re going to use it all day tomorrow, right? no bitching, either.”

Edge didn’t bother pointing out that it was highly likely he wouldn’t be doing much walking at all tomorrow, certainly not out of their home. Tomorrow would be full of questioning and paperwork, so many things that would need to be done. But first, they needed to finish off the night before dawn took it.

“Of course,” he agreed. He allowed Stretch to pull an arm over his shoulders, ostensibly to help him inside, but it wasn’t his leg that needed Stretch’s assistance.

His soul pulsed in his chest softly, settling at the feel of Stretch close to him, leading them both into their house, and when they finally slept that night, it was on the sofa rather than their bed, both of them freshly washed and with a cooking show playing softly in the background.

Lying together, Edge was acting the part of smaller spoon to Stretch’s larger one, and if Stretch guessed the position was one that put Edge closer to the door, he didn’t say. His face was buried into the back of Edge’s neck, his breath damp and even. Edge drifted on the borders of sleep, listening more to that quiet breathing than whatever the chef on the screen was saying.

“I can’t lose you.” The words escaped him, said to no one at all, less a statement and more a vow, a promise offered in the early morning light. I can’t, he thought to himself as he drifted, barely hearing the sleepy murmur in return.

“you won’t, babe. ’m not goin’ anywhere.”

Soothed, Edge let sleep claim him, trusting that he was safely caught up in the embrace of both slumber and his love.

mint x orion (hs au)

first post here!! just gonna use this website as an archive

originally this was written for a school assignment but then i went ham on it LOL

context: this was written with my ocs as gijinkas in mind, so human? while writing this i felt really cringey... warning that there is some cheesy stuff

skyrin and sapphire belong to my two friends minori and serenity, kasey belongs to my friend hary

story under the cut!!

The sound of birds singing in the early morning disturbed Mint’s sleep, and she slowly opened her eyes. Annoyed, she groggily got up and turned over to the mirror in her room. Her hair was messy, and she had major eye bags from staying up to do her homework assignments.

“Ugh, I wanna go back to sleep,” she said, irritated, and then looked over at the alarm clock. “Wait a minute, why didn’t my alarm go off? I’m gonna be late for school!”

Mint quickly dashed all over her room to get ready, putting on her usual white-collared t-shirt with a blue tie and skirt, along with her signature blue sneakers. She quickly combed her light blue hair and clipped on her bow with a star in the middle of it. Since it was already too late for her to eat breakfast, she ran out the door and ignored the plates of food that her parents, Skyrin and Sapphire, laid out for her.

“Honey, did you see Mint anywhere?” asked Sapphire. “She hasn’t eaten her breakfast yet..”

“Well, sounds like someone was up all night doing her homework again,” he replied after hearing Mint’s loud footsteps. “Looks like I’m getting extra breakfast for myself today! Her loss.”

While making her way towards the high school, Mint noticed her friend Kasey walking a little ahead of her. She ran over and met her with a greeting, “Heya Kasey! Good mornin’!”

Kasey, a blonde-haired girl with magenta eyes, turned her head after hearing Mint. The two are almost neighbors and they live about a block away from each other. She’s one of Mint’s best friends, and they are an unbreakable duo. She smiled and said, “Hey Mint. What’s up? I’m surprised you’re up this early. Usually, you’re the last one through the door in class when the bell rings.”

“Yea, well, some pesky birds woke me up… But also, I’m kind of excited to go to school today…” Mint looked around to make sure no one else could hear and whispered, “You know... The new transfer student…”

“Oh? Are you talking about that Orion guy that transferred in from last week? The dude with purple hair and his black clothes? Didn’t think you’d be into that kind of person,” Kasey said with a surprised face.

“Well, you see… Last week, we kind of bumped into each other…” Mint started explaining the rest of the story of how she first met Orion. The two first met during their P.E. class…

After running and landing on her face from tripping, Mint took a break from P.E. and sat on the side to watch the rest of her classmates partake in physical activities. She sighed and muttered to herself, “Why am I like this…” Even though she was the only one who clumsily hurt herself, one other person was sitting out.

There was a guy with purple hair, yellow eyes, and a single black earring. He was listening to music on his phone with his eyes closed. Curious, Mint slowly scooted over to him. She wondered why this guy was sitting out since he looked fairly athletic. With no hesitation, she gave him a poke.

“Hey, hey! Why are you over here? Won’t you get in trouble for not participating?”

Orion opened one eye and noticed the blue-haired girl right up to his face with her confused expression. His eyes now widened, he dropped his phone out of his hand and took out both earbuds, “Woah, too close.”

“W-Wah! Sorry…!” Mint moved back a little bit.

“It’s okay, no worries. I was just a little surprised.” He then replied to Mint’s question, “As for that, I don’t care what the teachers think. I just want to listen to my music.” He put one earbud back in, “and I don’t feel like running today, either.”

“Ah! I guess that makes sense?” Mint now realized she met herself with some sort of delinquent. She fixed her sitting position and wrapped her arms over her knees. Forgetting she injured herself while running, she flinched a bit from the pain. “Ow!”

Orion noticed her injury and said, “Got yourself hurt, huh?”

“Oh, this? Yea… It doesn’t hurt too bad though. I just wish I wasn’t so clumsy.” Mint buried her head into her knees in disappointment. “It makes me feel really dumb sometimes.”

“It’s okay. It’s those kinds of things that make you unique from everyone else. Plus, you could think of it like a battle scar or something.”

“A battle scar?… I guess that seems kind of cool…” Feeling a little more reassured, Mint looked over at Orion and smiled. “Hey, thank you! That was really nice of you to say.”

Seeing Mint’s smile, Orion averted his eyes, and his cheeks reddened a bit. “It’s nothing.” He then offered one earbud to Mint. “Wanna listen?”

“Oh, sure!” She took it and scooted closer to Orion. Listening to his music together made Mint feel like the two of them were a couple. Now feeling a little embarrassed, she decided to stay silent until the end of class when the two then bid their farewells.

“Wait, that happened, and you never told me?” Kasey gasped and took Mint by the shoulders. “You two definitely need to go to the dance together this weekend.”

“E-Eh? That’s too soon!... Plus, I just met the guy! I don’t even know if he likes me back… I just thought that what he did was kind of nice….” Mint started twirling her hair a bit, “and I guess he’s kind of cute too…” Several scenarios started playing in her head with her and Orion. The thought of him asking her to the dance made her face turn red. Flustered, she shook her head, “H-Hey, wait a moment! We need to hurry to class so we’re not late.”

“Oh, you’re right! We’ll talk more about this later!”

The two of them then hurried along to the entrance of their school.

A few days pass and it’s already Friday. Since it’s lunchtime, Mint decided to head to the library to get some extra studying in for her exams next week. Coincidentally, she notices Orion sitting at one of the tables listening to his music as per usual. Mint walked over and, in a low voice, called out to him.

“Orion! Hi there!”

Orion looked up and smiled upon seeing the familiar face. “Oh, hey. What brings you to the library?”

“Just thought I’d do some studying… But also, I was wondering about something. Are you perhaps going to the dance this weekend?” she asked shyly. Mint shuffled her feet and put her hands behind her back nervously.

“Haven’t considered it yet, but now that you mention it, it seems like an interesting idea. Why do you ask?” Orion smirked a little. “Are you suggesting that we go?”

Mint, now extremely flustered, insisted that that was not the case, but failed in doing so. “T-That’s not true–I mean, yes. I mean, no….”

“Sure.”

“I mean–Huh? Really?” Her eyes widened. “Oh gosh, I can’t believe it.” Unable to contain her happiness, she got up out of her seat and suddenly took Orion’s hands into hers. “Thank you so much, Orion!” she said with a wide smile.

Orion blushed a bit. Seeing her face so close to his and her taking his hands surprised him once again. He looked away for a moment. “No problem…” he replied. Why am I just now realizing how cute she is?

“Okay, but before this happens, you need to meet my parents,” says Mint.

Back at Mint’s house, Skyrin and Sapphire both anticipate the ringing of a doorbell. Sapphire is calmly sitting on a chair whereas Skyrin is pacing back and forth, thinking out loud.

“Wait ‘till I get my hands on this Orion.” Skyrin angrily muttered. “Just who does he think he is, taking MY daughter to the dance?”

“Calm down, dear. I’m sure Orion is a nice young man,” Sapphire reassured him. “Ever since Mint has met him, she’s always coming home with a smile on her face.”

Right at that moment, a loud ding rings through the air. Skyrin eagerly opens the door and sees himself standing face to face with Orion. “Well, look who decided to finally show up.”

“Nice to meet you too, sir,” Orion said with an annoyed look on his face while looking at Skyrin directly in the eyes. Once Orion saw Sapphire through the door, his expression softened. “And hello, Miss Sapphire. A pleasure to meet you.”

“Aww, nice to finally meet you!” Sapphire excitedly got up and ran over to the door where Orion and Skyrin were standing. “Come on in, come on in! Please, make yourself at home.” She gestured for him to come in. “Wow! You’re even more adorable in person than how Mint described you!”

Skyrin, after making a big sigh, rolled his eyes and said, “Aaaaalright. Fine. You can come in.” Skyrin stepped out of the way and let Orion walk inside. “Mint’s just upstairs if you’re looking for her.”

Orion, a little embarrassed, nodded as thanks and made his way through the stairs.

Mint was diligently working on her homework when she then heard two knocks. She excitedly opened the door to see Orion. “Oh! You’re finally here! Please, don’t mind my room… It’s a little messy.”

Upon walking in, Orion noticed many details regarding her room. Posters of her favorite bands and franchises covered the walls. She had a desk with a mint-colored laptop and many stuffed animals laying on the bed against the wall. On top of a shelf, there was a small collection of seashells. Orion was especially surprised to see a keyboard sitting in the corner of her room.

Curious about the music-related items, Orion asked Mint a question. “Hey, do you play an instrument? I see you own a keyboard…”

Mint looked over to where it was sitting, “Ah, yea. It’s been a while since I’ve touched it though. I’m not sure if I remember how to play it… Would you like to hear a song?” She figured that Orion would like to hear it since she knew he was interested in music.

“Sure.” Orion sat down on the bed while Mint dusted off the keyboard and powered it up. After a few seconds, melodies flooded the entire room. She closed her eyes and let her musical soul engulf her, playing the tune that she had memorized.

When the music stopped, Orion was just staring at Mint.

“U-Um… Was that good?” she asked.

“Beautiful. I-I mean, yea it was amazing.”

“Thank you!” Mint replied, blushing a little. “Well, now that you’re here… Maybe you can help me with my homework?”

A couple of hours passed and all assignments were finished. Mint escorted Orion to the door and the two said their goodbyes. After closing the front door, Mint turned around to see that both Skyrin and Sapphire were standing behind her. She jumped after being startled by them but then regained her composure, “D-don’t scare me like that.”

“So. Did Orion do anything to you? Do I need to give someone a beating?” Skyrin said while slowly unsheathing his katana.

“N-No! All he did was help me with my homework. Calm down, dad!” Mint exclaimed. She motioned for him to put the katana away. “And why do you have that out?”

“Aw, you could have asked us for help on your homework. Though, I do understand how nice it is to have your crush help you with something… How nostalgic,” Sapphire said with a smile while looking over to Skyrin.

“Yea, yea,” Skyrin replied, his cheeks a little red.

“Oh, let’s go pick out that dress for the dance, shall we?” said Sapphire. Both mother and daughter then walked out to go for some shopping, leaving Skyrin alone with his thoughts on Orion.

A few more days pass and it’s now Sunday—the night of the school dance. Wearing her newly picked out light-purple dress, Mint slowly walked down the stairs where her parents were waiting for her. Since it was her first time walking in heels, she almost tripped. Skyrin caught her, thankfully.

“Woah, careful Mint. And don’t you go sneaking off anywhere else during the dance.” Skyrin warned Mint with a stern tone.

Sapphire looked over at her and delightfully took a picture, “Aww, you don’t see her doing this every day. Let her have some fun tonight!” She then gave Mint a big hug.

Mint hugged her back and reassured her father, “No worries, dad. We’re just going to be chilling at the dance!”

After saying goodbye to her parents, Mint walked out the door and she was greeted by Orion in a handsome, black tuxedo. He offered his hand to help her into the car and smiled, “You look wonderful this evening.”

Mint took his hand and went inside. The ride felt like it took a millennium; her hands shook as the ride progressed. When they finally arrived at the dance, Mint saw Kasey walking with her date.

The two friends greeted each other, exchanging hugs while their partners stood by awkwardly. Mint then left Kasey and her date alone so as to not disturb the two of them.

After listening to the music being played by the DJ for a few moments, Orion felt a little agitated.

“Hey Mint, let’s go somewhere else.”

“Huh? O-Okay.”

He then grabbed Mint’s hand and exited the area, leading her to a nearby park. Upon arriving, Mint noticed a grassy field where the two of them could sit out in the open. They sat under the clear night sky where billions of stars were shining above them. Orion took out his phone and offered Mint one of his earbuds once again.

“Here, let’s listen to this instead.”

Mint took it out of his hand and began listening to the music. She glanced over and noticed that Orion had closed his eyes. He put his hand over Mint’s hand and she blushed, scooting closer so their shoulders were touching.

Orion looks over at Mint’s lips longingly. Overcome with desire, he doesn't seem to notice his head leaning towards hers. Mint notices this and leans in closer, narrowing the gap between them. Their lips finally meet and Mint’s heart feels like it's about to burst. She is left speechless as Orion pulls away from her lips.

“S-Sorry. I should’ve asked before I went in…” Orion trailed off while averting his eyes.

“No, it’s okay…” Mint shyly glanced away from him before making eye contact. “I liked it a lot.”

Orion’s eyes widened in surprise. He rubbed the back of his neck. “I’m glad you did because I really like you.” Orion’s words elicited a smile from the blue-haired girl.

“I like you too! Can we do that again?”

Orion chuckled while leaning in. “Of course.”

They went in for another kiss under the silence of the starry sky.

Jin - When he suddenly become a child

Paring: Jin x reader

Genre: Fluff, Humor

Type: One Shot (#001-Magic Shop Series)

Plot: You take care your boyfriend who ate some weird candy from Taehyung and it turned him into a child.

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

“Wake up, Jin!” You shouted once you entered his house.

“Where are you jinnie?” He FaceTimed you last night and said he had no practice today so you two planned to have a date today.

“Where are youuuuuuu. Kim Seok Jinnnnn?” You shouted again.

“Here” a cute little voice replied.

“Huh? What was that?” You looked around, tried to find where the voice came from but you saw no one.

“Jinnie?” You asked again.

“Here!!” the same cute voice shouted.

“Where? The bedroom?” You walked into his bedroom, again you saw no one.

“Is this a prank or what? Come out, it is not that funny.” You said.

After a few seconds, the bathroom door opened and revealed a little kid who wore an adult pajama, which now looked like a dress to him because he is too smol.

“Yah! Who are you? Why are you here? How can you get in?” You kneeled down and looked at the child carefully.

“Oh my god! Now that I look at you, you look awfully like Jin when he is a child. You like a mini Jin. Are you Jin child? Oh my god! Did he cheat on me and knocked someone up?” You gasped.

The child rolled his eyes and said. “I am Kim Seok Jin.”

“Excuse me, what was that? I am afraid I didn’t hear you right.” You refused to believe what you heard.

“I AM KIM SEOK JIN, THE WORLDWIDE HANDSOME, THE OLDEST OF BTS.”

The child no longer controlled his temper and shouted on your face, though it did not sound really angry because his voice were way too cute.

“Wah hahahaha, very funny kid. How can the oldest of BTS be a…what…five or maybe six years old child?” You laughed. “Come on, tell me who you are and how you get in then I will help you to find your parents.”

“Is me y/n. I am the real Kim Seok Jin.” Jin sighed.

“Ok ok, proof it then little kid.” You replied.

“Ok but if I can proof it, you can’t call me little kid or treat me like one anymore.” Jin determined to prove that he is the real one.

“Deal. Little kid.” You smiled. Jin rolled his eyes again and started.

“I am Kim Seok Jin, born on December 4, 1992 in Gwacheon. Debuted in June 13, 2013 with six brothers, Namjoon as the leader, Yoongi as the rapper,”

“Wait!” You interrupted him, “I know and almost half of the world knows it too, it can’t prove that you are my Jinnie!”

Jin blushed when you called him ‘My Jinnie’, even though you two dated three years, he still blushed every time you mentioned he is yours.

“You got a point there. How about I say something that only we know?” Jin asked.

“Yes, little kid.” You patted his head and replied.

“We dated three years ago, I asked you to be my girlfriend on 18 August, the day I hurt my ankle. Honestly, I planned to ask you next week in a more romantic way but the way you take care of me makes it hard for me to wait one more week.” He smiled when he walked down the memory lane.

“In our first year, you told me you will knit a scarf for me but now we are in our third years, I am still waiting for the scarf.” You chuckled, you did knitted one for him but it knitted badly so you never gave him.

“You once burnt the frying pan but the food is still raw, just like how Namjoon did before.” He laughed.

“Yah! It was an accident! I…I don’t know how I can do that but I swear my cooking skill is not that bad.” You lied, your cooking skills sucks. All you can cook is egg, boiled egg, egg roll etc. But who cares, you have Jin, the chef of the BTS.

“You are more horny after your period, and you always complain you have to buy one larger size clothes because your bra size is 3…”

“Ok ok, that’s enough! Don’t talk sexual things to me when you look like a kid.” You interrupted him before he could talk more.

“Now, do you believe me?” Jin looked at you with his big round eyes.

“Yes, I believe you Jinnie. But what did you do to become like this?” You nodded and asked.

“I don’t know, last night I felt a little bit unwell after we FaceTime so I went to sleep, but when I woke up... I became like this, a six years old me.” He shook his head and pouted.

“Did you eat something weird?” You asked.

“I don’t recall. I had dinner with all the boys. We drank a little, had some ice cream and Tae gave all of us. Oh!” He yelled.

“What?” You asked anxiously.

“He gave all of us a different color candy, said he bought it from the new store near the dorm. We all ate it, could it be the reason that I became like this?” He exclaimed.

“Maybe, should we call and ask them?” You asked while helping him to sit on the couch.

“No!” he yelled.

”What if I am the only one who become like this? They will definitely make fun of me, especially Kookie.” He pouted.

“Well, should we just wait for tomorrow to see how it’s go?” You asked and patted his head again.

“But what if I miss the golden time back to normal?” Jin worried.

“Then should we just asked tae about the address, we go there directly and asked the seller?” You softly asked while still patting his head.

“Yes! Lets ask tae tae!” Jin happily smiled.

“Ok, wait here.” You asked him to sit still and brought the breakfast to him.

“Jinnie, eat some breakfast while I call tae. ok?” You talked softly like how normal people talk to a child.

“No. I don’t want this, I want some ice cream.” He pouted.

“Jinnie, you can’t eat ice cream as breakfast.” You said.

“Yes, I can.” He looked at you and crossed his arms.

“No, you can’t.” You told him like a mother told his child.

“Yes, I can!” He raised his cute voice.

“No, you can’t. You need a proper breakfast and ice cream is not one of it. You never like this before.” You patiently said.

“I am a kid! A kid eats ice cream for breakfast!” He threw a tantrum when you rejected him.

“Oh my god, Jin. Now you act like a child, a real child. I have to call tae right now.” You ran to get your phone and dial Taehyung number.

“Noona? Good morning.” Taehyung's sleepy voice echoed throughout the whole room.

“Tae, did you give some weird candy to Jin last night?” You asked without greeting him.

“Huh? Yes, I brought all of the members some candy from the new open store near our dorm.” He replied while struggling not to fall back into sleep.

“Where is the store?” You asked once again.

“I’m not sure. You know I am not good at remembering the place.” Tae sheepish smiled.

“Well, meet us at the dorm three hours later , we need your help.” You ended the call.

“Ok, so now we asked tae to help. Can you please eat your breakfast, otherwise I won’t bring you there.” You turned around and told Jin.

“Well, I can go there by myself.” Jin mumbled.

“Oh really! I wonder how many hours it takes to get there with your tiny little feet?” You smiled.

“I have a driver license in case you forgot.” He yelled.

“A six years old boy to drive a car? I don’t think your legs are long enough to step on the brake, your arms are not long enough to reach the wheel. Little kid.” You held your laughter, tried not to ignite his anger.

“You are meanie, y/n” he muffled his cry.

“Come on, Jinnie. We can have ice cream tonight. Please eat your breakfast then we go to the store to solve your problem. Can you do this for me, sweetie?” You kneeled down and smoothed his hair.

“Ok, just because I really want to get back to normal.” Jin finally ate his breakfast after some childish argument.

“It’s gonna be a long day.” You sighed, went to his room and pack some essential things for Jin to go out.

After some moment, Jin ran into the bedroom. “I finished! Hehe.”

“You are a good kid.” You replied but gasped when you looked at Jin. Some food stains were visible on his face and clothes.

“Why? Jin! Why?” You exclaimed.

“I am a kid, what do you expect?” Jin put his tough out.

“God, I don’t even know you were that kind of kid. Come, you need to bath before going out. I will prepare the bath for you.” You stopped packing and went inside the bathroom.

“Can I have a yellow duck?” He whispered.

“You don’t have any duck.” He was upset when he did not have a toy bath with him.

“But you can have RJ, let me see which one can put in the tub while you go inside the bath and start bathing, is it ok with you?” You asked.

“Yes.” “Do you need any help?” You asked again.

“No, I can bath myself. Find me a toy is enough.” You left to look for any RJ toy that can be put into the water.

After 15 minutes, Jin came out from the bathroom.

“Come on, let me dress you up.” You asked him to come forward.

“I don’t want to wear this one, it's too big!” He complained and refused to wear the clothes you prepared for him.

“Jinnie, we don’t have any clothes that are suitable for your current size, this one fit you the most. Please just dress it so that we can go straight to your dorm and ask tae for help.” You tried to reason him.

After some struggle, he finally properly dressed, just when you two were ready to leave the house.

“Wait!” He shouted. You turned around to see what’s the matter.

“I don’t have any shoes.” He looked at his tiny little feet.

You kneeled down and sketched your arms wide. “Come, let me carry you.”

“I hate this, I hate this. I will kill Kim Taehyung once I get back to normal.” He mumbled when he walked into your arms.

“I am a well grown up man. But now I eat messily, need a duck when I bath and need to be carried all the time.” He kept mumbling and you placed his head to your shoulder.

“y/n, you smell so nice and you are so soft too. This will be the only thing that I enjoy in a situation like this.” He still mumbled.

You couldn't help but to think how life would be if you two stay forever, will you two get married and have kids, will you two be a good parent to them, when will both of you be ready.

“What are you thinking?” He asked. “Nothing.” You whispered.

He looked at you and pinched your cheek.“Stop daydreaming, you have a kid to take care of.”

“Yah, it hurts!” You smacked his little hands and he laughed.

“Jin.’’ “Is Jinnie.” “Fine, jinnie.” “Yes?” “You don’t laugh like a windshield wiper when you are a kid.”

“y/n! You are a meanie!.” He shouted to your ears and you smiled.

After a few minutes' drive, you two finally reached his drom. Once you opened the door, you saw all six members were chilling on the couch.

“Damn, Taehyung. I only asked you to come.” You said.

“Well, nice to meet you too y/n. I am so sorry that we aren't allowed to chill in our own home.” Yoongi teased you.

“Yoongi, you know I don’t mean that.” You panicked.

“I am kidding, who is that kid btw?” He smiled and asked.

“Huh?” You are confused.

“The kid you are carrying y/n noona.” Jimin said and pointed your shoulder.

You suddenly dumbfounded, you did not think of how to introduce this kid is Jin.

“Kim Seok Jin.” Jin replied and signaled you put him down.

“Kim Seok Jin? The same name of our Jin hyung?” “You are so cute buddy, how old are you?” “You look a lot like Jin, are you noona and Jin hyung kid.” “Do you want some mint chocolate ice cream?” “Or do you want some banana milk?”

All the members threw random questions to Jin at the same time.

“Shut up.” Jin shouted.

All the members stopped talking and looked at the kid.

“I am the real Kim Seok Jin, World Wide Handsome Kim Seok Jin, BTS’s Kim Seok Jin!” They all looked at you and you nodded.

“Noona, this is not funny, How can he be Jin hyung?” Namjoon asked you.

“Hey buddy, I understand you adore our Jin hyung, but he is not here right now. Would you like to come and sit on the couch while waiting for him?” Hoseok kneeled down and asked.

Jin rolled his eyes and smacked Hoseok's head with his little fist.

“I am the real one, After I ate alien tae candy last night, I became like this.” He sighed.

“Oh my my my, it actually works? I thought she was only joking.” Tae whispered.

“Tae, do you know where the store is located? We need to ask the seller to fix it.” You asked.

“Um...I don’t.” Tae softly replied.

“What do you mean you don’t know.” Jin lost his patience and yelled at him.

“I lied, I brought it online.” Tae replied with guilt.

“Kim Tae Hyung, how many times did I tell you not to buy something that is weird or no certification from the internet? Look what you did this time.” Jimin yelled at his best friend.

“Sorry guys. But I have the seller's contact, let me ask her how to fix it.”

@Vantae: Hello!

@MagicShop: Hi! My beloved friend, how can I help you?

@Vantae: Do you remember I brought seven candies from you last week?

@MagicShop: Yes!

@Vantae: One of my friends turned into six years old. Any way to fix it?

@MagicShop: Oh, so your friend ate the “Back to Youth”, the pink one. It is normal that people turn into a kid.

@Vantae: Is there anyway he can get back to normal?

@MagicShop: Just a moment, let me see.

@MagicShop: You brought one day effect, which means it only lasted 24 hours.

@Vantae: Thank god! He will kill me if he knows he can’t switch back.

@MagicShop: If he likes, he can buy the lifetime effect one.

@Vantae: I don’t even dare to mention it to him. Anyway, are you still up for tonight?

@MagicShop: It has become my regular routine now, taetae.

@Vantae: Good, then see you.

@MagicShop: See you!

Taehyung smiled and put his phone back in his pocket.

“Guys, the effect lasted 24 hours. Jin hyung, you will be fine soon.” Tae said.

“Aw, Jin hyung will soon be back to his old and grumpy self.” Jungkook said.

“I am not old and grumpy!” Jin yelled and kicked Jungkook's legs with his tiny little feet.

“Can’t Jin hyung just stay like this?He is too adorable and I don’t have to be the not so tall member.” Jimin smiled.

“Do you really feel good by comparing your height to a kid.” Yoongi rolled his eyes and said.

“Thank you taetae, now things are settled. Do you want to stay here or do you wanna go home?” You asked him.

“I want to go home. They all look and treat me as a child, I don’t wanna stay here! And jungkook, please stop filming me!” He whispered.

“Sorry hyung, but you are just too cute not to take photos of.” Jungkook laughed and filmed little Jin in different angles.

“Namjoon, can we borrow some of your clothes? It is uncomfortable for him to walk around with adult clothes. I will buy you a new one after everything settled.” You asked Namjoon for some kid clothing cause you knew he sometimes collects kid clothing.

“Sure! I packed you a set and no need to return and buy me one.” Namjoon smiled.

“Please, give me two sets, in case he eats messily again.” You asked.

“No problems!” Namjoon's heart warmed by your request. He knew you always took good care of Jin but he never knew you are so detail minded.

“I am sorry, Jin hyung” Taehyung felt guilty for making his hyung like that.

“It's fine, I’m not mad at you. Just make sure you don’t do that again.” Jin said and Taehyung smiled happily after knowing his favourite hyung forgave him.

“Did any of you feel weird after you ate the candy? I felt nothing.” Hoseok asked.

“I feel nothing too!” Yoongi replies.

“So I am the unlucky one?” Jin cried in your arms and you tried to calm him down.

“Shh, is ok. Tae said it only lasts 24 hours, you just need to bear it for a couple more hours then you will get back to World Wide Handsome again.” You patted his back tried to calm him down.

“Am I not handsome right now?” Jin asked while still crying in your arms.

“You are a world wide cutie right now.” You smiled and patted his head.

“Jesus, I never saw Jin hyung like this.” Jungkook whsipered.

“Noona, here you go!” Namjoon backed with a bag of clothes.

“Thank you, Namjoon! Guys, we will be going now. I will contact you guys if anything happens.” You thanked Namjoon again.

“Do you want me to carry you or do you want to walk by yourself?” You asked Jin who tying the shoe that namjoon gave him.

“I can walk.” Jin replied.

“Cool, Hold my hand tight then.” He wrapped all his fingers around your three fingers.

“You ready?” You asked and he nodded.

“Ok, let’s be a good boy and greet others goodbye before we go.” “Bye guys! Don’t have too much fun without me!” “Goodbye everyone.” You also greeted them.

All the members answered back. “Bye noona, bye hyung.” “Drive safe and take care of Jin hyung please.” “Call us if you need help!” “Goodbye mini Jin!”

“Damn, I want to have a kid too.” One of the members said.

“You can have one with your girlfriend if you both are ready.” Someone replied.

“Yeah, but I am too old for that.” All members turned to him.

“Oh my god! You are definitely too old for this, you look like a grandpa now. Tae, what kind of candy you gave him last night?” They gasped.

Finally you two back to his home after few minutes' drive. “So what do you want to do now?” You asked Jin.

“Spider-Man Movie!!” He exclaimed.

“Ok, please prepare the movie and I go prepare the ice cream.” You said.

“Give me the strawberry flavour !” He shouted while running to the living room, you chucked.

Jin fell asleep halfway through the movie, you carefully picked him up, put him into bed and cleaned his face with a wet towel.

After everything settled, you went back to the living room and cleaned the mess. You ordered dinner for you two, after a few more hours, the food was delivered so you woke Jin up.

“Jinnie, wake up. The food is here.” No response.

“Jinnie.” You called him again but still got no response.

“Should I kiss all over your face to wake you up? Sleeping beauty?” You swore you see his mouth slightly curled up.

“Maybe not kisses but tickling.” You said and tickled his neck and belly.

“Stop! y/n! Haha…I am wide awake now...hahaha...stop!” He laughed and tossed around.

“Good, come out when you are ready, sleepy head! Don’t take too long, the food will turn cold.”

After the diner, after the bath, you can finally take some rest. Two of you laid on the bed and you tried to get some sleep.

“Stop poking me Jin, go to sleep.” You mumbled.

“I am scared.” He whispered. “Of what?” You asked.

“What if I can get back to normal?” He mumbled.

“Don’t worry, it won’t happen. Even if it happens, I will walk through heaven and hell to find someone to fix you. I will use all your money to hire the best people to develop the medicine that can fix you. I will join any religion or even cult group as long as they can fix you.” You replied and you mean every word.

“Stop all the nonsense, y/n. Let’s just sleep.” Jin never thought you can sacrifice yourself for him.

“Btw why use my money!” He said and hugged you.

“Well, you are richer than me.” You hugged him back and he placed his head on your neck. Two of you finally fell asleep.

Ring...ring...ring…

“Morning.” Jin tiredly said.

“Is me, Tae! Did you switch back to your normal self?” Taehyung called.

“Huh?” Jin wide awoke, he rushed to the bathroom.

“Oh my god! I am Kim Seok Jin again!!” Jin laughed and jumped around.

“You are Kim Seok Jin even when you are six years old, hyung. Anyway, congratulations hyung!” Taehyung chuckled.

“Thank you, tae! No, why do I need to say thank you to you, you are the one who put me through all of this. Bye!” Jin ended the call.

~Knock Knock~

You knocked the bathroom door, “Welcome back, Mr. Kim.” You smiled happily.

“Hello to you too, Miss y/l/n” Jin pulled you into his arms and kissed you like no tomorrow.

“I missed you.” He said and pecked your lips again.

“I miss you too.” You pecked his lips too.

Both of you smiled and stared at each other and no one said anything because you two always understood each even no one said anything.

“My girl, my love. I swear someday you will be Mrs Kim.”

“My boy, my love. I swear someday I will give you mini me or mini Jin.”

After some hugged and kissed, you two went back to sleep. Jin back hugged you and kissed your hair.

“I owed you a date.” Jin pouted.

“Is fine. Thanks to you, I have an unforgettable day.” You smiled.

“So who do you like the most? Me or mini Jin?” He asked, you turned around and faced him.

“To be honest, I like mini Jin more, his voice is cute as well as his tiny hand and feet. Oh! the way he leans on my shoulder is awfully cute too.” His face blanked after hearing you say you like his little version more.

“But I love this Jin more.” You poked his nose and giggled.

“And I love you too.” He smiled and kissed you.

You (Part 2)

Now you see me, now you don’t!

Part 1 | AO3

Felix Graham De Vanily was, in his own humble opinion, special.

He was smart.

He was composed.

He knew exactly what to say and when, and he could make people see exactly what he wanted them to see.

He wasn’t his cousin, after all, almost identical looks aside. Adrien never knew when to speak up, or when it was better to stay quiet. Never knew how to hide his thoughts and keep his - utterly unrealistic, when it came to his father - hopes in check. And he might be smarter than Felix gave him credit for, but all that intelligence left him as soon as his friends were concerned.

That was what all his flaws boiled down to, really.

Adrien made the fatal, unforgiving mistake of caring too much. Always had.

(It was what Felix liked about him, deep down. Adrien was genuine, in everything he felt. Felix envied him for the ease with which he made friends.)

But.

Felix wasn’t like Adrien at all. He was too smart to care for people - his mother aside - any more than he had to. Mundane distractions. Friends, crushes - all things that would only deter him from his path in life: high above the crowd, always the center of attention, yet unreachable. Playing everyone, but gone before anybody noticed.

It was a glorious but lonely road. No, scratch that. It was a lonely but glorious road. Much better.

He didn’t need anything or anyone.

He was the sole and solemn genius of the family.

He was a magician, who didn’t need any fancy jewelry to work miracles - just the right distraction and disguise.

He was-

“Ow!”

Groaning Felix looked at the little bite marks on his finger.

“Were you even listening?! Or did you just wait for an opportunity to stab me in the back?”

The black and white bundle of fur and betrayal on his lap meowed and swiped at his hand, now out of reach.

“I knew you couldn’t be trusted.”, he grumbled and shoved the traitor off of his legs, but couldn’t help but smile when he smugly licked his nose - as if to say: I'd do it again. “I raised you too well. Now, where was I?”

He sighed.

“Ah, yes. I don’t care for anyone - please stop scratching that ear, honey, it’s not healed yet - because I'm just too smart for that. So it’s utterly impossible that I, Felix Graham de Vanily, am in love with Dupain-Cheng. Got it?”

His cat, the little bastard, answered by knocking his pencil box over and started to chew on a pen. Felix narrowed his eyes.

“Oh? You dare doubt my word?”

With quick fingers he stole his cat's spoils and placed it out of his reach.

“Quite bold for a creature without opposable thumbs, hm?”

Insulted, the poor, thumbless pet retreated to his laptop and laid down on the keyboard - causing the screensaver to give way to the last opened tab. Which was Marinette's Instagram page.

“Wah!”

Hurried to hide the proof of his interest - as if she might somehow appear in his room if he looked at her picture for too long - he shooed his pet away and closed the tab. Said pet meowed smugly and, upset about being chased away from two spots already, sat down on his pillow. Great.

“You did that on purpose!”, he accused his cat. “But that tab proves nothing. It was merely a passing interest in her admittedly wearable work. It has nothing to do with any confessions - faked confessions, or that she can apparently recognize me in disguise, or the very neutral fact that she is cute, by some people's - not my own! - standards.”

His cat blinked. And sneezed onto his pillow.

“Bless you. Now move, or I’ll use you instead of a bunny for that hat trick I’m working on.”

Sighing, Felix let himself fall backwards onto his bed, grabbing the fleeing cat and burying his face in the fluffy fur.

“Oh, to be a cat!”, he wailed into his involuntary comfort pillow. “With no troubles except how to best annoy his owner.”

The poor animal hissed and escaped his grasp, saving himself from the bitter fate of a comfort pillow.

“Run, you uncaring monster.”, Felix sighed, “Leave me to my worries. Which don’t include Marinette at all, by the way.”

He sat up and watched as the little traitor turned to sulk on his dresser.

“Stop looking at me like that. Even if I had a short bout of interest - possibly even infatuation! It’s already all but cured.”

He nodded to himself, ignoring that the disinterested cat had begun cleaning his leg instead of listening.

“School's closed, after all!”, he hummed, scrolling through the news on his phone. “And social contacts are to be reduced to the bare minimum. So I’m not going to see her again before this passing interest has... well, passed.”

As if in response to his words, his laptop started to ring and the monitor lit up with the picture of blue, blue eyes and a smile that could melt the stars off of the sky. Not that he paid attention to such things.

“Oh no, no, no!”, he panted as he fell out of his bed and stumbled towards the computer. “Incoming Skype call?! Oh, come on!”

The ringtone repeated itself and Felix jumped.

“What am I gonna do? What am I gonna do?”

Panicking, he looked at his pet.

“What the fuck am I supposed to do?!”

The addressed party blinked. And went back to licking his nuts.

“Argh! I am surrounded by incompetence!”

Taking a deep breath, Felix straightened his vest and cravat - just because he was staying at home for the foreseeable future didn’t mean that he would dress any less professionally.

“Who needs your advice anyway. I can do this.”

He straightened his back and sat down on the chair in front of his desk.

“I am Felix Graham de Vanily, the best actor in all of France and the United Kingdom, not in love with Marinette Dupain-Cheng, and I can totally answer a Skype call.”

Before he could think again, he pressed the green button.

“Mademoiselle Dupain-Cheng!”, he greeted overly enthusiastic. “We meet again.”

“If you can call it that.”, Marinette laughed with the voice of a goddamn angel. She was wearing a white, polka-dotted pajama top, was illuminated by early-noon sunlight falling through some sort of window in the ceiling, and her hair – was – down.

If this was some sort of cosmic test, it wasn’t fair.

“To what do I owe the pleasure of your virtual company?”, he said quickly, trying not to think too much about how her hair looked even softer than the fur of a certain cat. Then, for good measure, he added: “Miss me already?”

Marinette disappeared for a moment, before returning with a sizable stack of papers.

“As much as I could do without my favorite pain in the neck, we have a school assignment to do. You know, since school is closed?”

She leaned in and he held his breath.

“Did you even notice? I haven’t seen you last Friday.”

What was he supposed to answer to that? Oh, I noticed alright! It kept me from embarrassing myself by avoiding you, because my brain got all mushy ever since you fake-confessed to me pretending to be my cousin?

Ha! Fat chance.

“Aw, worried for me?”, he improvised, as usual, by being sarcastic. “Let me soothe your concern for your favorite pain in the neck: I merely got tired of cosplaying Adrien. I'm a very busy man, you see?”

She rolled her eyes and somehow managed to make it look cute.

“Of course you are. Well, hopefully not too busy for a presentation on marine biology, due next week.”

He blinked.

“Excuse me?”

“You know, the one Adrien and I are supposed to do?”

Felix Had Questions. For example:

“How was I supposed to know that?”

“Don’t tell me you didn’t hack into Adriens E-mail account. I saw you present homework that you couldn’t have known about if Madame Mendeleiev hadn’t emailed you, as Adrien.”

She raised an eyebrow, in a way that could almost be described as playful.

“Plus, you seem the type to do that.”

He scoffed and crossed his arms, as if it would hide his racing heartbeat.

“First of all: No, I am not breaking into my cousins account. I may like to prank him - or rather everyone, really - but that goes a little far. Secondly, that Lila girl was only too eager to do homework with Adrien-Me, so I could keep up with every assignment once I could get her hands off of me.”

“I thought a magician never revealed his tricks?”

True. But he had wanted to see if she would get jealous. Which she didn’t. Which was expected and totally fine by him. He didn’t care anyways.

Lucky for him, Marinette wanted to tease him more than an answer.

“Well, I hope your work ethic is better when it comes to presentations. I'll send you the materials!”

A click later, his laptop alerted him of One New Email, containing no less than twenty-two pages of material. He raised his eyebrows.

“Not to crush your little illusion of me as a hard-working student, but that looks like awfully tedious work. What makes you think I would voluntarily do homework meant for Prince Charming?”

The sassy little smirk she'd shown him during their battles of wit last week returned.

“You mean, aside from the fact that, once school is open again and Adrien is back, your little trick with pretending to be him will be revealed? And that I’m your best chance not to be chased out of town by a very angry Chloé Bourgeois? Not to start with Alya, Rose and Juleka, who still haven’t forgiven you for that stunt you pulled the last time you were here.”

Sound argument, he had to give her that.

“Pah!”, he said, just for the sake of irritating her. “So what? It’s not like it was my idea to move to Paris anyway!”

That was at least partially true. His mother had insisted to come back to France, mostly because she wanted to keep an eye on Gabriel. But he hadn’t been against it either.

It wasn’t like he had friends in London anyway, and in Paris it at least didn’t get boring, with all these butterflies and superheroes. Plus, he wouldn’t admit it out loud, but he had missed Adrien. That boy could use a little family - once Felix was done pretending to be him.

Marinette hummed and tapped her chin impatiently.

“Well, then see it as the prize you promised me after our little insult-match at the Trocadero.”

“Wait, wait, wait!”, he held up his hands. “I already settled that score, didn’t I? You confessed to me, remember?”

“I practiced confessing to Adrien with you, you mean.”, she reminded him with a raised eyebrow – Ouch, by the way – before leaning back in her pink chair. “And that was because you talked me into it. I never told you what I wanted, did I?”

Well, fuck. Not that the prospect of working with Marinette was that unpleasant, but in his current state of emotional confusion, it would only be detrimental. He needed an out, an excuse!

“Why would you want to work with me anyways? I would have thought you'd jump at the chance to do something with Prince Adrien of Dreamland. Why settle for the pain in the neck?”

Marinette sighed.

“Adrien is still recovering from his flu, and given the current, ah, global situation, I thought it would be better to put his health first. Besides, you're my favorite pain in the neck.”

“I'm flattered, darling”, he said, trying not to sound like it was as true as it was, “but-“

“Oh my gosh!”, Marinette interrupted him with a shout, and suddenly her eyes dominated the entire screen, as if she were mere millimeters away from her own computer. “Felix! What is that?!”

“Huh?”, he made, eloquent as usual. He turned around, just in time to see his traitorous cat jump from the dresser right onto his lap. Apparently, now that Felix had someone else to talk to, the little bastard felt neglected.

“You mean him?”, he asked, turning back to the screen with the cat in his lap. An inhuman squeal came from the other side of the line and Marinette sacked back into her chair, which spun around its axis, like, three times in a single second.

“Felix Graham de Vanily!”, she said with all but glowing eyes. “Show – me – the cat!”

Since her voice made absolutely clear that it had been an order and Felix had always had a strong survival instinct, he obediently held up the little monster. Who let out a plaintive little “Mow”, but otherwise submitted to his fate.

“Oh my gosh!”, Marinette repeated, “He's adorable!”

“You think?”, Felix said dumbly, at a loss for how to react to this sudden change in situation.

“I do! I do! What's his name?”

“Uh...”, Felix thought, debating whether a lie would save his reputation. “Uhm...”

“Don’t tell me you named him Felix Junior!” She turned towards the cat in false exasperation. “Did he name you Felix Junior?!”

The cat that was most certainly not named Felix Junior meowed in his feline confusion.

“No, of course not!”, Felix snapped back, sinking into the chair as if it might have mercy and swallow him.

“Then what's his name? What, for God’s sake, is this pretty little kitty called?!”

What had his life turned into?

“'dini.”, he mumbled, hiding his face behind the cat.

“What? Speak louder!”, Marinette demanded, and so he accepted his fate.

“Houdini!”, he groaned in embarrassment. “I named him Houdini, alright? I was eleven!”

For a moment, the line went quiet. Then, inevitably, Marinette burst out in laughter.

“For real? I can’t believe it!”

Sulking, Felix turned away from the screen, but immediately Marinette stopped.

“No, no, no! Bring Houdini back! I love his name, okay? Give him back!”

“You're not telling anybody of him, got it?”, he hissed, cheeks as red as Ladybug's suit. Marinette snickered.

“Of course, I promise. Houdini will be our little secret, alright? Now bring him back!”

Satisfied, Felix turned the chair back towards the laptop and placed Houdini on the desk. The curious thing didn’t hesitate to lounge onto his keyboard and examined the camera, much to Marinette’s delight.

“Oh lord, he's so cute!”

Felix sighed and leaned back.

“Believe me, he knows.”

“He looks just like you!”

At that, Felix spluttered and jumped up again.

“W-w-what?!”

Internally already setting up the equation: “Marinette thinks Houdini is cute, and Marinette thinks Houdini looks like Felix, then Marinette thinks Felix is cute?” he was about two seconds from fainting.

“He's got a little tie, see?”, Marinette giggled on, ignorant of the thought-spiral she'd sent him into. “Just like you!”

Oh. She meant the patterns of his fur, which admittedly looked a little like he was wearing a tie. Of course.

“Who's the most adorable thing in Paris? You are!”, Marinette continued with her shameless adoration of that undeserving little brat, who currently Mow-ed happily at the screen. Pah!

“Just so you know, he bites people for fun.”, Felix badmouthed his own pet, absolutely not because he was jealous. “You can’t trust him. He'll act sweet, but as soon as you're not looking he's got your fingers between his sharp little fangs!”

“Eh, I can handle it.”, Marinette shrugged and immediately went back to admiring Houdini. “You're a good kitty, aren’t you? The best, the best! Yes, you are!”

“No, he's not!”, Felix insisted through clenched teeth. “He's moody and arrogant! Nobody likes him, that's why I took him in! He thinks it’s fun to hurt people, he holds grudges forever and he's incredibly annoying when he's bored!”

Wait, was he still talking about the cat?

“You just like him because he looks all cute and innocent, but if you knew him, you'd never even want to be in the same room as him.”

Marinette had gone quiet on the other side, and Houdini narrowed his eyes at him in betrayal. Then she shrugged.

“If you don’t want him anymore, I'll take him in.”

“What?!”

She would have to pry the little shit out of his cold, dead hands!

“Did you not listen to a word I said?” he asked, trying not to let on that he didn’t actually dislike Houdini.

Marinette smiled.

“Sure. But I still think he's a good kitty.”

“But why?”

She hummed, pushing her stack of papers aside so she could put her elbows on the desk. Resting her chin on her hand, she looked up in him.

“Most cats are. You just got to give them a chance to come out of their shell.”

“But... But he's mean!”

“Maybe he's just lonely. Maybe he needs some friends, and then he'll learn to be nicer. I can wait.”

He was not blushing!

“Why would you want to? There's lots of better cats, you could just pick one of them right away.”

“Yeah, well, I want Houdini. All cats deserve a chance. Even the meaner ones.”

She smiled down at the black and white loaf that purred on his keyboard.

“In my experience, peop- cats only show their best sides if you give them a chance to open up. If you're too quick to brush them aside as hopeless, or mean, you might miss out on the most wonderful personalities underneath. And I think Houdini is one of those.”

And then, because the universe just wanted to see him fall, she winked at him. Jesus Christ!

“Anyway, I'll give you some time to read through the material I sent you. Message me once you’re done, we've got a lot of work ahead. Bye!”

Before he could realize what she had said, the window blanked and closed on him. Disappointed that his fan had vanished, Houdini meowed and returned once again to Felix' lap.

“Bye.”, Felix stammered belatedly. What had just... How could she go around just saying things like that? And then hang up?!

“Ugh, Houdini!”, he lamented. “Look what I have become!”

Reduced to a beetred, stammering, weird-cat-metaphor-using fool!

The cat gave a smug “Mrow” and headbutted him in the chin, but Felix didn’t have it in him to complain.

“Fine,” he sighed in defeat, “you win. So what if I like her?”

Houdini purred.

“You do too, don’t you? Bet you'd bite her anyway.”

He purred on, unperturbed.

“Knew it.”

He sighed once again.

“She's right, though. You are a good kitty. Deep down.”

Houdini meowed and licked his finger, just where he'd bitten him earlier.

“Well, now you're just sucking up to me! Two-faced little demon. Mwah!”

He pressed a small kiss to the top of his furry head, then rolled the chair closer to the desk and opened his emails.

“Alright, then.”, he tried to motivate himself, “let's show Marinette what a good kitty- what a good person we are and do our homework.”

At that, Houdini promptly stood up and jumped onto the bed, leaving him alone with twenty-two pages of reading material.

“Bastard.”

- - -

Bonus:

Ladybug, crashing through Felix' window: Felix Graham de Vanily!

Felix: Ladybug?!

Ladybug: I have it on good authority that you own a good kitty! It is crucial for the safety of Paris that I pet him right this instant!

Felix, remembering her right hook: ... sure?

march - just some thoughts

i have read more this month than any other month? and its not slowing down its only 3/12 so i have 2/3 of a month to go and i’ve read 26 chapters. even if these chapters are ‘short’ at 10 pages, if i wanna count by ‘20 page’ chunks i’ve still read 13 chunks so far. and i’ve still got more time in the month left. most other months i’ve managed to read ‘a lot’ i read 10-20 chapters. so i’m doing really good.

grammar is a weird thing? in reading i feel like its quite easy now to understand. when listening or watching - same. and yet if asked ‘why do i say/type X’ or ‘why is it written/spoken like X’ i have absolutely no explanation in my head. i could not explain the grammar if prompted. this puts me in a weird place and i feel like i SHOULD go over a grammar guide again just so i can WORD what i’m intuitively understanding.

this is a bit bizarre to me because within the first 6 months of study i DID read through an entire grammar guide just to get an idea of what i was about to look at, and it hardly made sense once actually reading/watching/listening. i understood the guide fine, but actually Seeing chinese i was still confused. i would reference AllSetLearning’s Chinese Wiki on some basic points, then after 6 months i just stopped. now its been what 1.5 years and - reading is so easy, listening is so easy, grammar wise. none of the grammar confuses me. but i no longer ‘explicitly’ have any idea what the fuck the grammar is. i used to. i studied it explicitly before trying to read/listen. and yet now that i can read/listen, i have no idea how to explain the grammar. i can listen to a podcast and i don’t think about what the grammar is i just get it. i read and just know what i’m looking at. its like english - i cannot fucking explain it. Which makes speaking/writing a bit hard. Because when i try to check if i’m right i have no fucking clue HOW anymore - i just say/write what comes to mind and HOPE it makes sense. i have no way to conciously check for errors except ‘does this feel right’? And that’s not good enough for me lol. So I definitely do need to eventually read a grammar guide for explicit explanations again.

Technically I think “English and Chinese Grammar Side By Side” grammar book would be an excellent one to use. Because i read the first 50 pages of it and it compared it to english (so it explained english too), and it was very easy to understand and started basic then got more involved.

I’m probably gonna use my very old Chinese Grammar Self Taught by Thimm book instead. Just because I really like that book. Then I guess use another after (probably Basic Chinese Sentence Patterns since its modern and perfect for ‘catch your own mistakes’ study and much shorter than Eng+Chinese Grammar side by side).

Anyway I’m in a very weird place right now lol. I know i’m understanding grammar that is stuff I never even studied initially in the grammar guide, but unable to explain what it is, and a lot of stuff i did explicitly study in a grammar guide i completely forgot the explanation for. My reading and listening is GREAT, because all my effort only has to go into learning new words lately! its relaxing! Its the only part i need to do! But my writing/speaking i am very concerned about because being able to check myself for mistakes is something i’d like the ability to do.

how grammar is presented really makes a difference in how well i get it. there is some serious benefit to ‘show simple first then build up what you know’ that text books tend to prefer. versus like grammar reference books that may start with some in depth stuff.

i tried to read a japanese grammar guide the other day and 1 it was great but 2 it covered some ADVANCED stuff i never learned in genki 1+2, and so it was Explicit grammar description of stuff i had literally years ago been immersing in japanese and Still not conciously known about. So i felt. Overwhelmed lol. I felt so confused. I feel like I might switch to Tae Kim’s grammar guide primarily just because its structured with basics covered first. and i feel like until the basics are again glued into my brain, seeing even more advanced stuff just confused me so much i had no idea how to remember it. which is funny because? my usual strategy with grammar guides is to just read it and let what sticks stick and what is confusing be moved on from, in the hope i will later see it again and understand it better. so like based on what i usually do i should’ve just been able to read through it (and i’m gonna try anyway lol). but truly japanese grammar just... my mind does not like wrapping around it and remembering it. (chinese grammar is so much easier for me... so much easier....;-; )

i have been tempted to just Restart Nukemarine’s LLJ (Lets Learn Japanese) memrise decks, because I KNOW they worked for me last time really really well. And they include Tae Kim grammar lessons. And I know if i did it then maybe i’d get back to where i was years ago pretty fast.

I tried Earthlingo app. Its a cool idea, I don’t think its worth it though unless you planned to get Rosetta Stone (since Earthlingo is FREE). Earthlingo features 1000 words per language, taught to you by exploring video game worlds as an alien. Its a cool concept, but since all words seem to be nouns then you aren’t even learning the most common verbs/adjectives. And 1000 words is not a lot. And you could learn 1000 quite fast if using srs flashcards like Memrise or Anki (think weeks if you push yourself, and a month or two months if going at a regular pace). Earthlingo you have to slowly explore the worlds so that eats time, you have to choose to test yourself (so you don’t review nearly as often as flashcard apps), and one test includes walking around the world clicking the object which you’re given the word for (takes time to find the right object). All this means a word that might take maybe 15 minutes to study over a few weeks, might instead take much longer to study and learn. I don’t use duolingo because it generally covers so few words (usually 2000-4000 i think which is good for a beginner resource but you have to do the WHOLE course to get to all those words and i take so long on duolingo that could take YEARS for me versus a month on a flashcard app or clozemaster). Duolingo I also don’t use because it very slowly paces learning material (it takes me months/years to get through 1000 words on duolingo - just personally i go so slow on it, i think faster people would find a use for it). Likewise Lingodeer takes me AGES to get through (and i think covers 2000 words nowadays? I’m shocked Duolingo has more words for the japanese course tbh). However, Lingodeer is by far the best ‘app’ for Japanese grammar lessons in app practice form. Even if basically all the apps feel pretty slow to me in how fast they give you new info. Earthlingo is cool that its free, and for learners 12 and under i think it would be super useful as a way to engage them and keep them studying (since what child likes flashcards? whereas as a child i would’ve loved this). But as an adult Earthlingo is sooooo slow on how fast you can learn words, and it does not even offer very many words (1000 is a nice bare minimum but without verbs/adjectives it can only be a supplementary learning tool for beginners at best).

Link about Lingodeer having 2000 words in a course. (Since its SO hard to lookup how much vocabulary lingodeer includes :c )

Nukemarine’s LLJ memrise decks (which I’m considering going through again but ToT agh flashcardssssss.... they sure do work though agh)

http://www.chinese-grammar.com/beginner/ - this is the site I read a chinese grammar guide on at like Month 3. I am rereading it now maybe it will help me remember wtf grammar explicitly is. ToT (A tip, read Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced sections). Last time I visited the site you just clicked a section, then saw each fully explained grammar point and clicked ‘next’ it was nice. Now its laid out a little less ideal for me, but its still got all the same nice info! (Also honestly if you are a beginner I really DO like this grammar guide... it introduces basic info first, gradually gets more complex, and i could follow its logic knowing like 200 hanzi and 100 words ToT. its very easy to understand even if it takes a while to apply that info).

im probably gonna read hanshe more today. i’m at the point where either i know enough vocab, or the writers style has just ‘clicked’ idk. but now i just am not getting bogged down by unknown words and am just. speeding through enjoying the plot. Also rip me this novel has 155 chapters and im only on chapter 30.

watching japanese lets plays is really fun! i feel like im 3 years old cause i just see nouns i can learn pretty easy in context cause i know the game well, and hear some vaguely familiar verbs, but its fun! also it helps i know kingdom hearts 2 like by heart so. a lot of it makes me instantly cheerful and nostalgic. roxas’s voice is so cute in the japanese version.

oh i almost forgot: I found a book recently for chinese that for it’s like 10 page grammar guide summary at the beginning ALONE i think is more than worth the 4 dollars it costs to get. It has a ton of compound words and its a reference book in mandarin and cantonese (it has pronunciation for both, all characters are in traditional). I got it initally because it as a bunch of compound words and I’d like to get better at knowing a lot of common ones. But the intro to the book has a page explaining sentence structures in chinese, then examples. Its so straightforward and to the point. I love it. The book is “Understanding Chinese: A Guide to the Usage of Chinese Characters” by Rita Mei-Wah Choy. (There is also a companion book for individual hanzi, which is nice but this book specifically I’m finding more useful).

what i really like about Listening-Reading method, and reading, as study activities: no matter how I do them it is only improvement. I have a tendency to ‘redo’ material i don’t feel i fully mastered, or refuse to move on. So when i have duolingo, flashcards (sometimes i can move on if i ignore reviews/make myself do new stuff), books, grammar guides, self guided classes - i have a tendency to redo the material. over and over. and not progress and challenge myself. whereas with reading - every time i look up a word its useful because its new or something i clearly Need to review (not something i’ve actually learned and can move past reviewing). so whether i reread material or read new stuff, as long as i run into things i find somewhat challenging (feel the desire to word look up), i know i am running into new material i can learn. Same with listening-reading method: whether i finish a book or just skip to random books, any new chapter i do will give me new words to learn/remember (until i’ve reached a point of perfect listening comprehension which is a WAYS away). There’s no way for me to mess it up. I can give up a book im bored with, i don’t have to stick to one resource to the end.

someone tell me why professionally made chinese audio books almost NEVER line up to the chapters???? whyyyyy ;-;

Even More Notes lol:

So I read so much in Pleco, which auto pronounces, I have COMPLETELY forgot. 得地 - for these two, when they’re attached after a description like 淡淡慢慢高兴 etc, when are they pronounced di versus de???? i’m pretty sure 得 is pronounced de when its an adjective like ‘-ly’. but for 地, i don’t remember if when part of a describer if its pronounced di or de????

#rant #march progress #march #everyone using ore in kh2 is hilarious a lil to me tho #u are all bishies u are all tiny kids WHy u acting so tough lol

DAZED DAMSELS

PAIRING : BTS × Female OC

GENRE : Fluff | Romance | Comedy | Husband AU!

RATING : 13+

WORD COUNT : 11.4 K

SUMMARY :

Balancing between work and home has been quite a tiresome task, but still Min Ji has been managing and juggling through all of those responsibilities thanks to her lovely husband who's always been by her side as her backbone. Will this Wedding, Bachelorette party and a simple shopping trip add in a bit of spice to her life...?? Help her reminisce her past...??

Having the most important responsibility of all time can be nerve wrecking but Soo Jung is determined give her best friend the best wedding a person can ever wish for. But how is she gonna react to the fiasco and the most astonishing revelation of eternity...??

It's the biggest day of Ji Na’s life -'Her Wedding Day'. She never even dreamt that she'll marry the man who ruled the entire world's hearts. Her family and friends didn’t leave any stone unturned to make her wedding more memorable. She wouldn’t have had this much fun in a million years. Little did she knew that the universe had another special thing in store for her...

"Where are the Keys ?" He inquired, looking for them in his pockets.

"Tae, Open the door already !! I'm soo tired... My feet are gonna give out..." Min Ji whined as she slumped down on the floor, her back against the door.

"Yahh! Where did i keep them. " He said, still struggling to find the item.

"Yep. Gotcha." He jiggled the keys, then inserted the key inside the lock to open the door.

Both of them entered their home, tired and exhausted.

Min Ji plonked herself on the couch, face first while Tae went inside to place the packs with their clothings in their bed room, getting himself a bottle of water on his way back.

His phone began ringing the moment he sat down beside his wife.

"Hey Jungkook-Ah !" He let out, rather chirpily.

Min Ji wondered how he could be soo lively after their wearying shopping trip and soon she observed an elated expression plastered on his face.

He disconnected the call, a soft smile on his face.

"What ? What did Jungkook tell you that's making you smile so bad?" Min Ji asked teasingly, her head propped on her elbow.

"Jungkook invited me to his Bachelor's party which is gonna be held in a week. I'm soo excited to meet all my hyungs after such a long time." He sinked back into the sofa, his expressions were enough to reveal how happy he was at that moment.

"That's nice." She grinned, too elated to see her husband so riant.

"Ohh i completely forgot." He remembered. "Jungkook mentioned that his wife wanted you to attend her Bachelorette party too."

"Huh... But... I don’t even know her or anyone there, what will I do alone. I'll stay at home with my bed, my soulmate." Min Ji stated, casually.

"Ohh... So your bed is your soulmate then who am i ?" Tae asked, cocking an eyebrow.

"Uhmm... You're my lovely, adorable and handsome husband." She complimented him.

"Yahh... Min Ji-Ah You need and have to go okay. Get out of this house and just enjoy your life, jagi. There's an entire world outside these four walls." He tried to convince his wife.

"You know how i feel in a crowd full of people I don't know. Even you won't be there. I'd be really bored." She retaliated. "Secondly, I've got nothing to wear and I'm no mood to go for a shopping trip anytime soon."

"I'd accompany you and we'd buy a gorgeous dress for my beautiful wife. Please Min Ji." He pouted.

'His puppy eyes were too hard to resist. Damn, he knows my weak points.' She thought to herself.

"Okay. FINE." She gave up.

'It was easy for him to make her agree with everything he wanted.' She thought, looking at his satisfied smile.

»»-—————--✧✦✧--—————-««

Works been keeping Min Ji and Taehyung pretty busy lately.

Who says a Teacher's Job is easy...? For a teacher like them, who literally put in their whole and soul into their work, it's never been facile. Sadly, being a teacher is the most under appreciated job despite the burnout they go through, every single day.

Min Ji and Tae lazed around after being drained of all the zing.

They worked their asses off, the entire week, since they had to take a few days leave on the occasion Jungkook's marriage.

Min Ji flipped open her journal just to discern that she still needed to go and buy a dress that she'd wear for Jungkook's Wife's Bachelorette party.

' It's Sunday tomorrow and the Bachelorette's gonna be on Monday... So I'm gonna go shop tomorrow and drag Tae along too... YES!! It's Sorted then. ' She planned in her mind.

"Tae, We need to go look for a dress I'd wear to the Bachelorette's. So you need to accompany me tomorrow." She said, unaware that her husband who was sitting on the couch, besides her, his eyes fixated on the TV screen as he played 'Over Watch' did not acknowledge a single thing she said.

No response made her look at him and call him out again.

"Tae..."

"Taehyung..."

"Mr. Kim..." Min Ji spoke again, touching his shoulder to shake him, but he shrugged it off.

In spite of Min Ji's repeated attempts of trying to gather his attention, the boy didn't budge.

"YAHH!! KIM TAEHYUNG!!" She shouted, annoyed that her husband ignored her entire existence, completely focused on the game.

Taehyung jumped from the couch, stumbled down to the ground, puzzled and scared out of his guts. The controller dropped on the carpet by his side with a 'thud'.

Min Ji was trying hard to suppress a loud laughter as she saw her husband's pallid appearance.

"Bahahahahaha..." She laughed, hysterically.

Taehyung stood confused, trying to figure out what just happened.

"Min Ji-Ah..." He whined, putting his headphones down at the coffee table, picking up the controller, placing it on it's proper place.

Min Ji cackled while Taehyung smiled lightly, listening to her melodious haa-hee.

"Stop It... It was not that funny." He turned to her.

"I-hh It wah-hh was..." She held her stomach and tried to calm her breathing down.

"It was sooo funny. You should've seen the look on you face... Haha..." She beamed.

"Okay Okay... Fine... Now speak up, What's the matter ? What did you want to tell me ?" Tae inquired.

"I just wanted to inform you that we're going shopping tomorrow and you're coming with me." She let out, straight.

"Oh... Okay... But that's all?" He asked and she nodded.

"Yah!! You disrupted my game because of such a mere thing." He said, crossing his arms over his chest and frowning.

"Tae... Okay... I'm sorry." Min Ji pouted as Tae turned his head to his side, away from her.

"I was thinking that I'd order Japchae for dinner today. But since you're soo annoyed with me..... " Min Ji continued.

"Japchae!!" His eyes twinkled as he drooled, visibly.

»»-—————--✧✦✧--—————-««

"Tae... Get Ready..." Min Ji whined, her husband still lying down, occupied on his phone, unaffected by what she told him.

"Kim Taehyung, I swear that I'm gonna burn your phone to ashes if you're not ready by next five minutes." Min Ji warned.

She giggled as she saw Tae immediately standing up, dropping his phone at the nightstand, stumbling on his way to the bathroom.

»»-—————--✧✦✧--—————-««

Tae locked the main door as they stepped out of their home.

"T-" Min Ji was cut off by the ringing of Taehyung's phone.

"Hello Bogum." He said, signalling Min Ji to wait for a minute as he went a bit away to talk with his friend.

A few minutes later, Tae returned, apologetic in guise.

"Look... I know that I promised you that I'd help you with the dress but Bogum's father is in the hospital and he needs my help so i need to go. I've got no other option Mini... " He was sad.

Taehyung was really a genuine friend that everyone deserved to have. He was always up for it when his friends needed him.

"It's okay, Jagiya. I'll manage everything, here. Bogum needs you right now so you should go. Don't worry about me." She assured him as she placed her hands in his.

"I owe you one for this, cupcake." He spoke.

"What's up with these nicknames? Huh?" She teased. " And you don't owe me anything." She pecked his cheek.

"What did i do to have you in my life.?" He hugged her and her cheeks flamed up.

" Taehyung-ah, Bogum might be waiting for you... Goooo...."

"Bye. I Love You." He shouted, running towards his car.

"Yahh!!! This Boy!! " Min Ji smiled to herself and shook her head in disbelief.

'Seems like I gotta do this all by myself' She thought as she mentally face-palmed.

»»-—————--✧✦✧--—————-««

Min Ji wandered from store to store looking for a suitable dress she could wear to the Bachelorette but in vain.

She was strolling through the hallway when a beautiful, metal black, bodycon, dress caught her eye.

She immediately entered the outlet, looked for her size in the dress and bolted towards the trial area.

As she was about to enter the corridor, her phone went off. She opened her handbag, looking for it and then,

"Ope!!" Min Ji squealed as she stumbled backwards but managed to retain her balance and save herself from the embarrassment of falling straight on her bum.

Min Ji bumped into another women who was storming out of the corridor, busy taking over her phone and both failed to realise the other's presence.

"Sorry!" The lady said as she bowed and dashed towards the exit.

"It's.... fine..." Min Ji said, which came out as a whisper since the woman was already out of the store by the time she uttered those words.

She shook her head and headed to the trial room.

"Yah!! Soo Jung-Ah!!!" A voice called out, behind a closed door, Min Ji just went past.

"Aye!! Come here and Help me." The voice spoke again.

Min Ji's motherly instincts rose after listening to the word "Help" so before she realized, she knocked on the door.

"Hey! There's no one outside here since you're calling out for them..." Min Ji continued "Are you alright ?? I can help you if you want me to."

There was absolute silence for good few minutes until the voice spoke up again, "Hey!! Could you please help me fix the zipper of my dress..? Since you can see my friend's already bailed out..."

Min Ji stifled a chuckle, "Yep...Sure."

The door opened which revealed the silhouette of a woman dressed in a wedding gown.

Min Ji couldn't help but remember the day of her marriage and smiled to herself.

"Here... It's Stuck!! " Her voice snapped Min Ji out of her daze.

She moved towards the woman, trying to pull it up but it didn't move.

She took a step away and stood there, analysing it, thinking of something that could be used repair it.

An idea struck her mind almost instantly as she reached out for some Vaseline from her handbag and applied it to both the edges of the zipper before pulling it up with a 'ZIG' and *VOILÀ*, it was fixed.

"Thank you so much." The woman smiled.

That's when Min Ji looked up at the woman's face but she couldn't help but feel that it look familiar.

"Do I know you? Have we met before? I think I've seen you somewhere." She inquired and let out a string of words before she could stop them from rolling off her tongue.

The look on her face turned sceptical as she could practically see the wheels turning inside woman's head.

"N-No... I don't think so." She immediately grabbed her shades before putting them on.

"Oh-Okay then... I should leave." Min Ji bowed and made her way out.

'Weird' she thought to herself.

Min Ji couldn't help but feel that she knew the women she just met.

But the thought subsided as soon as she tried her dress on. And she knew what she was gonna have on for the party.

She rushed towards the cash counter, bought the dress and made her way back home, happy to finally relax after an entire day full of exertion.

»»-—————--✧✦✧--—————-««

Min Ji stepped out of the lift, trudging towards their apartment.

She was about to open the door when she noticed a hamper with a card by it.

She picked it up, trying to figure out who could sent it to them and walked in, shutting the door behind her.

She slouched on the couch and started unboxing it.

It contained Two Exclusive Perfumes: One Chanel and One Jo Malone with an Invite to Jungkook's Wife's whose name as mentioned on the card was KANG JI NA.

It stated that Min Ji had to be ready really early tomorrow (which meant waking up even before that,,,URGHHH....) since it wasn't just the party but a trip filled with activities including all of them staying there.

"OHH GOD... I NEED TO PACK UP EVERYTHING..." Min Ji bolted towards her room, ready to complete another task so she could lay down on her bed at the earliest.

❖ ── ✦ ── ✧ ─ ◈ ─ ✧ ── ✦ ── ❖

Here she was stressed the heck out of her life waiting for what these next few weeks hold.This was it. This was the day Kim Soo Jung, Head stylist of JK's company and wife of the famous actor Kim Seok Jin, was gonna be held at the helm of being THE BEST MAID OF HONOUR. Knowing her best friend Kang Ji Na was gonna get married to the love of her life after a period of creepy stalking and one sided administration (Really pretty adjectives used by Soo Jung to make Ji Na flustered Infront of Jungkook).

She was more than happy and overwhelmed at the fact that her friend's one sided endeavours bore into fruitition and before she knew those two were marrying each other. She has to say this is one of the most happiest moments of her life. She states dramatically to her husband, right after she enters the house with cake samples and seating herself on the couch, not wasting a second to search up her contacts for best wedding dress maker.

"I thought discovering cookies and cream flavour was your happiest moment." Jin retorts while sitting beside her on the couch, with a mischievous smirk on his lips.

"You know me so well Jinnie!!" She says smiling fondly and leaning in to give him a cheek kiss.

"Did you like to rush home from work and Wow... did you bring me some cake!!" Jin says while taking the package placed on the tea table.

"Those are cake samples for Ji Na's wedding" she says while Jin opens the box and gorges over one of the sample.

"Don't knock yourself out with those cakes I too have to try and decide the best one. How do you like that one, though ?" She asks.

"Oh it's soo good I was starving" Jin says with stuffed mouth and reaches in for another sample.

"No!!! Jinnie it's not for you to eat. I have to do the taste test and find the best." She whines poutyly while snatching away the box

Jin's face dulls down with disappointment.

"Okay you can eat those but you will have to tell how each one is and help me find the best." She says.

Jin's face lightens up. "You are the best Soo Jung-Ah!!" He exclaims while taking away the box.

And like that with just a mere snap of finger, Soo Jung's one of her many jobs was done. she pats herself internally while smirking at the victory of having her strategic plan work. She hands him over the taste quality rating list with names of each flavour.

Jin does whine about work given but feels it's worth the delicious cakes he tries.

She calls in the best of all wedding planners who is also Jin's childhood friend, wedding designer whom she worked with for a huge actress's wedding having advantage of discounts and instant work.

Now the biggest deal of all, The Best Bachelorette party.

Soo Jung had planned everything before a week of wedding rolled around. She went in with Ji Na and other bridesmaids for dress fitting, approved and checked up all the wedding arrangements made by Hoseok her wedding planner, mailed all the invitations. Everything was going according to her plan until she couldn't think of a good idea for bachelorette's, which she needed to sent invite for too.

Soo Jung racked her brain while tapping her pen continuously on the edge of her planner. She took few days off and was working continuously towards her maid of honour duties

Being frustrated she thought of going out meeting other friend as she was feeling coerced and needed air to breath.

She went in and waited in the café while ordering a sweet Caramel Frappuccino.

"You know I recognised it was you just by seeing that overly creamy drink on the table without even looking at your face." Yoongi teases her while settling himself before her in the small cabin.

"I don't know what you are talking about." Soo Jung says while enjoying her drink and humming in contentment.

Yoongi just chuckles and gets himself a simple Iced Americano.

"So how is your Best Maid of Honour campaign going? " Yoongi asks.

That's when she starts to worry again about something she came here to avoid.

"I am facing an idea block for the bacherollete party." Soo Jung sulks while worrying maybe her coming to this café only wasting the precious time she has.

"Just do as we boys are doing." Yoongi remarks while looking at his phone.

"Oh yaa I forgot to ask Jinnie. What are you guys doing?" Soo Jung asks expectantly.

"Las Vegas baby!!! We always teased our youngest about taking him to Las Vegas and getting him wasted before his wedding. We know he likes Hangover movie too much. So we had to fulfill his fantasy." Yoongi lets out with excitement.

Soo Jung deflates and starts to rack brain again for ideas.

"You don't seem to like that idea..?" Yoongi claims after lifting his gaze from to the phone and meeting Soo Jung's disappointed face.

"Nah that's too typical and so unlike Ji Na she hates clubbing and getting wasted. I want to do something she loves and something she can relax with as it's gonna be her big day." Soo Jung says while sipping her coffee.

Yoongi smiles at her thinking how she cares so much about the ones she love.

"I am sure you will find something." Yoongi says while patting her head.

"I hope so." She returns him a smile.

"Oh why don't you ask Namjoon as he is Ji Na's best friend and knows her for long time too." Yoongi suggests.

"Yahh! I am Ji Na's best friend, can't you see who is the maid of honour. I don't see Namjoon picking out dresses and bouquets for her." She remarks offended.

"He is the best man.....but I thought I was your best friend." Now it's Yoongi's turn to be offended.

"Whatever he is managing Jungkook's side so he doesn't count as her best friend right now... It's complicated Yoongi. But you will always be my little meow meow." Soo Jung teases him.

"Yahh how many times I have to tell you not call me that." Yoongi spits with mild anger yet internally feeling pleased.

"Come on... I know you love it." Soo Jung teases him with mischievous grin.

Yoongi answers her only with a slurping noise of his coffee.

»»-—————--✧✦✧--—————-««

When Soo Jung reaches home she contemplates what Yoongi said. Namjoon really did know Ji Na way long than she did and having no other choice she had to step down her pride just a little bit and ask him for a few pointers regarding Ji Na's likes and dislikes.

Soo Jung waits until two telephonic bleeps and hears a hello from the other side.

" Hey Namjoon, this is Soo Jung." she introduces.

" Oh Soo Jung it's been long since we conversed.. How are your maid of honour duties going?" Namjoon asks.

" It's been great actually. You know I won't let my best friend down ever." Soo Jung remarks while emphasizing a little bit more than necessary.

Namjoon just gets amused at her kiddish saltiness towards him.

" Hmmmm..." He states after a period of awkward pause " So what did you call for...."

Soo Jung clears her throat "About that.... I was thinking of few bachelorette ideas and I did find many, like many great ideas that she may love but still do you have any suggestions about what she might enjoy." Soo Jung adds in the unwanted whipped cream to save herself after remarking herself as best friend cause clearly she doesn't have any great ideas.

"So much for being Ji Na's best friend...Huh?" Namjoon teases but doesn't give her time to retort. "She did say she loves hiking and camping." he says without giving much of a thought.

Suddenly a light bulb lightens above Soo Jung's head.

"Thank you very much Namjoon, I agree you win this time. Bye! " before Namjoon can tease her for her slip up she cuts the call.

She swiftly opens her system and looks for the hiking resort just near the venue.

She can't believe how perfect the whole deal is. Being a full day trip she wants it to be a surprise.

Soon she orders in to design and send her the invites in two days with complimentary perfumes.

Now that everything is sorted she thought she could relax but still she was a little stressed about how whole plan will turn out.

Next day she shopped secretly for everything she needed for the party and came back home, exhausted.

Having taken off she gave all her responsibilities to her assistant who was great at her work but still Soo Jung preferred to not risk it and checked before finalizing everything.

She started to work on her real job while settling herself comfortably on bed.

"Soo Jung-Ah! finally I caught in your natural habitat otherwise you were out as a light by the time I returned." He says while settling himself beside her and cuddling her up.

"Aww Jinnie I missed you too" Soo Jung said while keeping her work aside and started playing with Jin's hair while looking at beautiful black-brown orbs.

"You are doing great my wife. I can say you are The Best Maid Of Honour." Jin states while intertwining their fingers together, pressing a fond kiss on her hand that he held in his.

" Do you think this will earn you browny points and I will let you off the hook for whatever mischief you have planned for." Soo Jung remarks sceptically.

"Noo... Jagiya I mean it." Jin states with sincerity. "You have been working so hard I am proud of you." Jin looks at her with a smile.

Soo Jung has nothing to say to her husbands's soft demeanour so just smiles with cheeks tinted in a shade of pink.

"But yaa it was so evil of you to manipulate me into helping you to select a cake for you. Now my trainer wants me to work half an hour extra otherwise I might look like a dumpling on screen." Jin whines poutyly.

Soo Jung can't help but laugh out loud at the prospect of being caught and also feeling fuzzy over the fact that Jin caught on to her plan.

"It's okay Jinnie your fans will still coo over you saying how you look like a cute dumpling, All puffy." Soo Jung mocks his crazy fan following.

"Somebody seems to be jealous." Jin remarks with a mischievous grin.

"Why would I when I have the real deal and besides you aren't my favourite actor either." Soo Jung states while leaving the room to prepare dinner.

Jin falters at her sudden motion and starts whining about what she just said.

»»-—————--✧✦✧--—————-««

The days roll by and soon the day of the trip comes around. She wakes up way earlier than anyone to pick up everything she needs and order the van to reach the venue.

Now all she has to do is pick up the bride.

Soo Jung gives Ji Na a heads-up and is glad to see she received her call.

Ji Na having a good life style habits unlike Soo Jung is way more in a better condition in the mornings.

Soo Jung is far from being a morning person but she has to push herself for her best friend.

She rushes her to the venue and see's most of the girls have arrived. Soo Jung invited all of the girl group members Ji Na trained and debuted with before starting her solo career. Even after going solo she tend to be in good connection with most of them.

Soo Jung see's a really pretty woman approach whom she kind of recognise from some where but can't put the finger on.

°°°°°°YESTERDAY; IN THE SAME STORE°°°°°°

Ji Na was assessing her gown when she heard a knock on the door of her trial room followed by her best friend calling her out.

Ji Na opened the door only to reveal a stunned Soo Jung who eyed her up and down, examing Ji na's dress.

Soo Jung was mesmerized to see her friend in a princess wedding gown.

"Whoa... You look FANTABULOUS!! " She exclaimed.

"Thank You" Ji na blushed at the compliment. "But Where did you disappear?" She asked strictly. "If it would've been for that lady I would've still been holding up the dress and standing lonesome, calling your name out like a fanatic in the empty area. But thanks to no one other than you, that lady was about to recognise me and my identity was just a bit away from being revealed." Ji na blabbered.

"JI... Calm down. PLEASE. My assistant called me to inform about a sudden fiasco regarding your Bachelorette party so I went out to sort them up a bit. I'm thankful that the women was at the right place at right time and happy that she wasn't one of your crazy fangirls." Soo Jung says, grateful.

Ji na passed her a mix of an annoyed and a 'yeah-yeah' look.

"I feel kinda Guilty tho..." Soo Jung continued seeing a big 'WHY ?' written on her best friend's face. "Actually, on my way out, I bumped into a woman and if she would'nt have had balanced herself, she could've fallen down. And i was in such a hurry that i didn't even apologize properly."

"It's okay, hun... Rhe next time you meet her, if it be, then you can repent over this." Ji na patted her shoulder. "But for now.... We need to look for dresses we'd wear to the Bachelorette now that my wedding gown has been finalized." Ji na reminded.

Both the women went out and started looking out for a dress as per their preference.

°°°°°°°° PRESENT; BACK TO THE TRIP °°°°°°°°

When she realised where she recognised the women from, she immediately looked away away, her back facing the woman approaching her, now.

Ji na saw Soo Jung standing awkwardly, so she approached her.

"What's wrong??" She asked.

"That woman from the shop, she's a guest at your party." Soo Jung confessed, embarrassed.

Ji Na looked over her friend's shoulder, "Ohh Shit!!", her eyes turned wide as she rotated in her stance too.

"You know her too?" Soo Jung asks a bit muddled.

"She was the one who helped me with my zipper the other day and then things were left on an itchy note." Ji Na clears it.

"So she was the one who you bumped into." Ji na says and Soo Jung nods her head as an answer.

The best friends stood there uneasily for a good amount of time until Ji na felt a hand tap at her shoulder which forced her to look at the bearer of the hand, but she whirls Soo Jung along with herself, both smothering a guilty look.

The woman's expressions falter a bit but transform into a smile soon. "Hey! I am Kim Min Ji, Taehyung's wife " She states chirpily.

The faces of both Soo Jung and Ji Na retorts into confused expressions.

"Hi... Sorry for yester-" Soo Jung gets cut in between.

"Sorry about what.....oh about the incident where we bumped into each other yesterday." Min Ji states calmly.

"Yup I was the one who suddenly left Ji Na alone. It's just I had learnt my assistant did this huge blunder....." Soo Jung starts to explain herself.

"It's completely fine... You don't have have to give me any explanation and no need to be awkward. You are Maid of Honour for lords sake... I can understand the pressure you have. The time's have passed by soo let's start anew, shan't we ?" Min Ji said as she put her hand forward in front of Soo Jung.

Soo Jung looked puzzled at Ji Na who was too shocked herself.

"Yeah... Yeah, for sure... You're right! Nice to meet you Min Ji... I'm Soo Jung by the way, Jin's Wife." Soo Jung smiled, taking Min Ji's hand for a hand-shake.

"Ms. Kang Ji Na or should i say soon-to-be Mrs Jeon Ji Na, the idol and bride-to-be. You looked soo familiar." Min Ji states with a warm smile.

"Hello Min Ji! I'm sorry, I'm just not used to be in public that way..." Ji Na confessed.

"It's completely fine..." Min Ji says as she leans in for a hug.

"I am glad you made it. It's really good to meet after so long. Jungkook tells a lot about you and Taehyung." Ji na states.

"I'm happy to meet you in person too Ji na..." Min Ji let's out.

AND THAT WAS ENOUGH TO BREAK THE ICE BETWEEN THEM.

"It's bizarre about how we never met even after the boys being such good friends..." Soo Jung turns to her for an excited hug.

"So what are we gonna do today..??" Ji na inquired.

"Let me present the amazing plans you have today, as this is your last day before you forget us for ethereal fiance of yours." Soo Jung teases and Ji Na can't help but start blushing.

The trip starts off with you guys changing into hiking attires to enjoy the mini hiking trip Soo Jung planned.

Ji Na seemed to be thrilled and very much after knowing the day Soo Jung planned.

All of the girls start excited for the perfect view the top most peak holds.

Hiking enthusiastically Soo Jung seemed to enjoy the trip. Being not much of active person herself the idea of hiking wouldn't much of a liking for her personally but when it comes to Ji Na she seems to be the opposite.

Soo Jung starts to breathe in the fresh crisp air and loved how the birds chirped pretty while she was surrounded by the lushious green trees with healthy sunshine peaked through the canopy when she looked up.

Everything seemed fine until..... halfway she suddenly remembered why she despised hiking.

Breathing heavy she tried to catch up with others but she can't permit it herself. She was just thankful Min Ji didn't leave her side purely through concern. Suddenly Soo Jung felt a cramp on her side.

She still tried to walk in failing a little by twisted her ankle. She just stood there cursing the person who mentioned to her that hiking was an amazing plan. 'Who was that Satan... Obviously it was Namjoon!!' she face palmed herself.

Min Ji faltered in her steps seeing Soo Jung was left behind. She approached her tired face.

"Are you okay, we can wait in the café which is just a minute away. Will you able to hang in till then?" Min Ji bent down to look at Soo Jung like a person would speak to a child hurt.

"I am fine....ouch..." Soo Jung moaned while trying to walk.

"Oh you seemed to have bent your ankle. It's fine let's just settle ourselves there." She says and guides Soo Jung to nearby artificial tree trunk fashioned bench.

"I can't believe I chose hiking of all activities. I know Ji Na loves it but I should I have known it would have been a bummer to me.....so much for asking Namjoon for advice." Soo Jung snorts.

Min Ji laughs at Soo Jung's childish bitterness.

"It's okay you can see Ji Na is having fun. So you did a great job. Don't be too hard on yourself." Min Ji comforts.

" Do you like hiking ???" Soo Jung asks for the sake of having conversation flow.

"I am neutral towards it. But I do love camping. I am looking forward to that." Min Ji remarks.

"Ohh I love camping too since I was a child. It used be the only reason I went camping. For amazing s'mores and playing funny yet memorable games with my friends. Those were some good days." Soo Just states while reminiscing her past camping memories which she can't forget about.

According to her those were the best of the summers she ever had.

"Same. I loved camping as a child too. It used to be the best part my summer. I used to love treasure hunting and all the team work we used to put in. It used to be so exhilarating as a kid." Min Ji states with admiration.

Soo Jung makes a agreeable noise.

"Which camp did y-" Soo Jung got cut off by Ji Na coming there way.

"Are you okay Soo Jung-Ah ?? I noticed you weren't with us in the café so I came back searching, did you hurt yourself?? " Ji Na asks concerned.

"No I am fine just sprained my ankle a little. Everything is good and dandy other than that." Soo Jung tries to cheer up to not worry Ji Na.

»»-—————--✧✦✧--—————-««

Soon with her friend's assistance, Soo Jung finally reached the peak. When she takes in the beauty all her anger towards hiking washes away.

Now after having comforting spa treatments all of them get ready for the bon fire party arranged in the camping site.

Soo Jung brought in the most comfy sweaters with pjs to wear and she created a unique one with bride to be embroidery for Ji Na.

Then all of the girls gathered around the bon fire to enjoy marshmallows with some booze.

All of it brought back soo many memories and Soo Jung couldn't help but feel warm that she is feeling the same endearment she felt when she was a little girl. With all the girls camping huddled up and cozied in one blanket, all of them enjoyed some amazing barbeque with delicious s'mores.

S'mores aroma and sticky yet amazing texture always brought back her childhood.

At the end all the girls played some random games like never have I ever and chatted about random things while being tipsy.

»»-—————--✧✦✧--—————-««

Next day they woke up, the sun peering through tent they crashed in and heard the most pleasing birds chirping.

Soo Jung exited the tent to see Min Ji and Ji Na already awake yet groggy sitting on the grass while sitting curled up by bringing their arms towards chest as if to protect themselves from the chill yet soothing spring early morning.

Soo Jung joined in while settling herself on the prickly yet fresh dewy grass.

She started to look at the beautiful butterflies which were on for their honey hunt. At the moment she felt the most peaceful in days.

"Last night was so amazing. I loved every second of the camping Soo Jung-Ah. Thank you for such an amazing surprise, Chingu-Ah." Ji Na said while hugging her Maid Of Honour lovingly.

"Anything for you..." Soo Jung returned a smile filled with warmth.

"How long do you guys know each other?" Min Ji asks curious.

"For five years or so right after she started her solo career I became her stylist and now her best friend. But it seems like I know her forever" Soo Jung remarks clearly admiring her friendship.

"Oh I was meaning to say this, I am a fan of your work and it completely reflects how creative you are, in the way you planned this trip. I enjoyed myself alot. It was just so.." Min Ji's fond ordeal is continued by Ji Na.

"Nostalgic... Right ?" Ji Na said.

"Yeahh.... Exactly..." MinJi let out.

"I felt that too" Soo Jung affirmed.

All of them start to giggle at the similarity and sat in comfortable silence remembering their childhood.

»»-—————--✧✦✧--—————-««

The same evening the party kicks in the resort with loads of champagne. All the girls dress in their fanciest out fits looking all glamorous. Soo Jung gets ready along with Ji Na and Min Ji.

Ji Na's Dress :

Soo Jung's Dress :

Min Ji's Dress :

Soo Jung feel pleased to see everyone having fun and sips her drink in the corner.

All the start usher Soo Jung to make a toast. Soo Jung getting a little embarrassed just states how much she loves Ji Na and jokes about she might be the only fan who actually got to marry her idol.

Music started to create an amazing vibe for everyone to enjoy themselves. Ji Na's fellow idol friends performed one of their hit songs as a girl group and she herself joined in.

Soo Jung did plan few drinking game to get Ji Na wasted.

"Drink if you are married." Hwasa proposed which let to some of you take in the shot except for Ji Na who was forced into drinking any way as she was bride-to- be.

"Take a shot if you texted some one four hours straight." Irene remarks.

Soo Jung glares at Ji Na who seems to avoid taking a shot.

"Does it even count if you don't get a reply." Ji Na whines with defense.

"It sure does honey..." Hwasa states who is a little drunk herself and forces her to chug the drink. Everyone fall into a giggling fit even though things did not seem to be as funny. It's just every body seems to be tipsy.

"Take a shot if you met a movie star." Ji Na remarks with ulterior motive of revenge.

"Jin is not a movie star he is just an actor." Soo Jung remarks catching on her motives but fails as she is forced to take two more for denying.

By the time clock hits one all of the guests blacked out drunk chatting nonsense and some of them just moving to the beat.

Soo Jung cares for the safety of all the girls and ushers to their rooms to sober them up cause she really can't afford to ruin the wedding tomorrow.

After having a lovely day, Soo Jung feels a rush of relief wash over her. She relaxed for a while looking at her planner for further activities then realised she didn't check up on the boys.

She scrambles in for her phone on the nightstand.

Jungkook:What are... 2:55am

Ddeokdinnie:we are... Wednesday

Soo Jung opens in Jin's text first.

Ddeokdinnie[9:04am]: We are half way to Las Vegas

[ Photo sent]

Ddeokdinnie[11:01]:We just checked in to our rooms. We sure gonna show a nice time to Jungkook-Ah, but that kid seems to have his brain elsewhere. So much for bringing him up to be a fool he is now🤦🏻‍♂️.

Ddeokdinnie [1:55pm]: You seem to be busy.Enjoy!

Ddeokdinnie [2:05am]: i m gld u ennjoying.i miss u....

Soo Jung can't help but smile at the small miss you which seems to be written after having right shots of soju.

Soo Jung replies Jin that they are safe and adds in a miss you and love you.

Now she goes to the attend Jungkook's text as the lover boy seems to be really brought up by Jinnie. Soo Jung chuckles reminiscing Jin's hypocrisy and opens the text with no intend to reply just to exhilarate him. Clearly in non positive ways.

Tsundure turned lover boy[1:05am] : I know Soo Jung you might have taken her phone away give it back to my Ji Na.

Tsundure turned lover boy[2:55am]:What are guys doing. I just wanted to check in if Ji Na was having fun......Let me know how she is.

Soo Jung coo's over Jungkook's adorable concern and feels tempted to message him back. But she doesn't, wanting to tease him a little and knowing he would pester Jin or Tae for the information anyway.

Soo Jung soon forces herself to sleep as she still has a lot of responsibility as a maid of honour and reminds her that this is not the end.

Next day she wakes up to the harsh ringtone of her phone.

"Hello..." She answers with scratchy voice.

"Hey...Soo Jung, This is Hobi. You seem to be still asleep. Seems like yesterday was wild. I have arrived to the venue...."

Soo Jung glances her watch too see she is late.

"Oh God I overslept I should have not participated in those drinking games.....I will be there soo just give me five. You are already aware of plans please follow through." Soo Jung states while hurriedly rushing to her closet and hanging up before Hobi finishes his okay.

❖ ── ✦ ── ✧ ─ ◈ ─ ✧ ── ✦ ── ❖

The D-day came when the heart throb of millions of women round the globe Mr. Jeon Jungkook,kpop idol turned camera director was going to be someone's man and the luckiest girl who had been chosen for him by the gods above was none other than Ms. Kang Ji Na, kpop idol who is not as much as famous as jungkook but still made a little space in the hearts of netizens with her charm, dignity and hard work which never let downs her fans.

They both were more like a couple made in heaven. It was like as if a committee was setup in the ethereal heaven with various gods, goddesses and angels discussing over who should marry jungkook and how to make his wedding one of the best ones the universe had ever experienced.

There was golden silence in the room until the alarm popped out of no where and kept roaring like a wild cat.

Ji na gave it a few hits as if it were her own fiendish child weeping to get his things done and she trying to keep his mouth shut.

"Ji na, get up!!!" yelled her mom.

"Eomma...five more minutes..." moaned Ji na,trying hard to overcome the state she was in.

"You can't still be asking for five more minutes like you always do pabo...its your wedding day and you have loads to do." told her mom in one go.

On hearing that she gets up at the speed of light.

"AHHH!!! It's my important day. How did I forget?? Eomma, I still cant believe I'm getting married. Its happening..OMG I'm soo nervous." she says exhilaratingly.

Her mom is rather a calm lady unlike Ji na who couldn't hold up her emotions that well and state to tear up for no reason.

Her mom plants a kiss on Ji na's forehead as a sign to make her calm down.

"Eomma, can you pinch me...cause I cant believe I'm actually getting hitched up with Jungkook." says Ji na frantically.

Her mom considers it to be her one and only best and the last chance to take revenge from her daughter for troubling and teasing her from the day she was born.

She pinches Ji na so hard that her entire body suffers from redness and make her look like a cherry.

"AHHHHH!!!!!! Eomma not that hard..You shouldn't be taking your grudge on your young, beautiful daughter like this.." tells Ji na rubbing the spot where her mom gave her a mark that's probably gonna last till she dies.

"It was a pay back Ji na..its nothing when compared to how you made me suffer by living in LA and leaving me alone in korea.." exclaims her mom.

Ji na gives her mom a tight hug and a peck on her cheek..

The door which was kept ajar opens in the blink of an eye and there stands a 5 '11" tall, young man with black hair which doubtlessly looks like a dense enchanted forest.

Ji na looses her grip on her mom and jumps onto the man like a tigress coming for her prey and he catches her softly in his arms and Pat's her back.

"NAMJOONAH!! You arent supposed to be here." lies ji na who missed him a lot and wanted to see him very badly.

"What is Jungkook doing?" inquired Ji na letting loose of namjoon.

"He panicked when you didn't pick up his call..he called you numerous times and he ended up sending me here to check on you" complained namjoon.

"Oh shit!! I didn't check my phone from last night... SooJung and MinJi made me drink FIVE FULL SHOTS of soju at the bachelorette's. You know that I get drunk with just one shot ..it took me time to sober up" she exclaimed.

"Umm I see...I guess you guys had a lot of fun at the party while we kept wondering what you guys were doing and just wasted our precious time at ours." Namjoon complained rubbing his finger on his chin.

"Don't lie joonie!! You guys went to Las Vegas for your bachelor's while we stayed back at here. That explains how you guys enjoyed a lot more than we did." Whined Ji na holding both her hands firmly to her waist.

"I wish what you said was true. We indeed went to Las Vegas, but the party got messed up and Kookie ended up drinking like a monster, chanting your name and crying like a baby and we were thrown out of the bar for his behaviour..." Namjoon sighed.

Ji na couldn't control her cackle and laughed out loud, " I wish I could see him like that".

"Namjoon, I think you should leave now and help your brother. It's an important day for him, TODAY." interrupted Ji na's mom.

She quickly yeeted Ji na into her bath room asking her to get herself a shower. Namjoon smiled and made his way out of the room.

But before Namjoon left the room Ji na shouted, "OPPA!! Tell jungkook that I love him and I love you too oppa....BYE!!!"

Namjoon quickly peeked through the door and gave her a big smile showing off his cute dimples.

Ji na took off her clothes in the bath room and made her way into the shower. She drenched her whole goddess figure with water. After 5 minutes of standing like a statue in the shower, she grabbed the shampoo and manipulated it on her hair until her hair oozed out with foam.

She tried to style her hair with foam and acted like the character she was in and also tried to add up karaoke to her performance.

She finished her so called bathroom concert and dabbed her damp, trickling body with a fluffy towel and came out of her bathroom with a thick bathrobe.

As soon as she came out she was yeeted onto her bed by two beautiful women who were indeed her best friends.

"SOOJUNG , MIN JI ....you scared me to death... GOSH..." she stuttered.

The maid of honour, Mrs. Kim Soo Jung and The bride's entourage, Mrs. Kim Min Ji are twinning in a beige sheath silhouette and the hemline reaching their ankle.

"Here!! Ji na take off that robe" SooJung said plainly.

"YAHHH!!! What are your intentions??? I'm gonna complain about you two to my husband" Ji na joked.

The three of them kept laughing for a while.

"We came here to help you with your make up,hair and your dress Ji na" MinJi exhaled.

"Oh!!that's great, So we'll start now" smiled Ji na switching her mood.

Soojung helped Ji na style her dress . The wedding gown was a ball silhouette which had a transparent fabric at the back with a zipper and her bust being a bit revealing in the front . The gown was extremely long with beautiful embroidery sewn on the hemline.

The fabric at her back was see-through and glittery which made Ji na's beautiful back on display for everyone to watch.

Min ji helped Ji na with her bridal make up and fixed her long locks.

»»-—————--✧✦✧--—————-««

The bride's family arrived at the hotel where the ceremony was about to take place. They were greeted into the hotel by the hotel staff.

Simultaneously, the groom's family also arrives.

Min ji and Soo jung swiftly grabbed Ji na's hand and they ran to their hotel room.

"YAHH! Leave my hand...it hurts" Ji na complains.

" I'm sorry Ji na, But you know it's considered bad luck for you both to see each other before marriage " explain MinJi.

Ji na keeps dreaming of her past about how jungkook hated her like hell and later falling hard for her after coming to know the real her.

A sudden beep of her phone breaks her reverie. Before Ji na could check her phone Soo jung yanks it from her hand.

..........................................................................................

25 Oct,2020

4.00 pm

I want you to meet me in room no.275 in 15. Come soon sweet heart. I'll be waiting for you.

Love- Jungkook

..........................................................................................

" Umm...so you guys are planning to meet before the wedding huh!! You very clearly know that we are never letting that happen" bawls Soo jung.

"But......I want to see him very badly." Pouts Ji na.

" Soo jung, let's prank Jungkook by sending Tae instead of Ji na" says MinJi enthusiastically ignoring Ji na.

"That's a great idea!! I'll message Jungkook telling him to put a blind fold so that he won't know its Tae.." grins Soo jung while texting Jungkook.

The both ladies end up dressing Taehyung into Ji na's spare wedding gown and decorating his head with a large wig. They lock Ji na in the hotel room and follow Taehyung .

Taehyung quickly knocks the door twice where Jungkook was waiting in and enters the room valorously while the two young ladies tip toe into the room and hide behind the couch for a better view of the drama they were gonna encounter.

Jungkook yanks Taehyung into his arms and holds him tightly not giving him enough space to breathe.

" Bae!! You've turned a lot more muscular than the last time I saw you. Don’t you think you've been gyming a lot these days?" Said the blind folded man, vigorously kissing Taehyung's neck.

Taehyung couldn't stop his guffaw .Jungkook takes off his blindfold on hearing a manly sound. To his damn, God for saken surprise, he found three familiar personalities rolling on the floor and laughing their heart out.

He feels extremely abashed and his cheeks turn red as an apple from the embarrassment he faced then.

" You really thought it was easy for you to meet Ji na before your wedding. Didn't you ?" Laughed Min ji holding her painful stomach .

Jungkook was completely speechless at that point and he couldn't utter a word to defend himself. The three of them kept teasing him and enjoyed themselves laughing at the awkward Jungkook.

»»-—————--✧✦✧--—————-««

Now, the actual deal of the day was to come about. Jungkook and Ji na were just 30 minutes away from starting their new lives together and annexing their names with each other.

The wedding hall was pervaded with a horde of dignified guests seated on their respective tables on the either side of the aisle.

Jungkook's parents positioned themselves on the left side of the aisle on the stage while Ji na's parents installed themselves onto the right side of the aisle. Both the elderly couples were dressed in their traditional hanbok while the other family members and the guests designed themselves with modern western style.

The wedding hall was beautifully decorated with flowers and so the hall was filled with fragrance of those beautiful flowers. There were daisies, calla lilies, ranunculus, tulips, roses of different shades etc. There were wedding curtains here and there which camouflaged with the tint of those beautiful flowers. And not to forget about the sweet strains of classical music that drifted through the crowd.

Jungkook was stunning in a single-breasted charcoal tuxedo with a white wing collar shirt and a cute black bow tied around his neck line with some artificial white calla lily along with it's buds worn on the lapel of the tuxedo. He situated himself on the dais afore the aisle.

The guest tables were crammed with few costly goodies of dryfruits, champagne bottles, distilled water bottles and few pre wedding photo cards of Jungkook and Ji na.

The bride's maids accompanied Ji na to the aisle helping her hold her long gown. Ji na stood idle for a while at one end of the aisle meeting her eyes with Jungkook's who stood at the other end. All the heads turned to face the far end of the walk. The music stopped and the opening to the bridal chorus began to play.

Jungkook couldn't help but stare and grin at his gorgeous wife-to-be.

*****Jungkook's P.O.V*****

I couldn't believe my eyes. I know, Ji na is beautiful but I never thought she'd look absolutely stunning in a wedding dress. If I knew it before then I'd asked her to wear it every time we met. My eyes stopped listening to my brain and started to tear up in happiness .It was obvious cause it is the first time that my eyes encountered the most beautiful thing in the world,my dearest Ji na-Ssi. But I still managed to roll back few droplets just to ensure nobody would make fun of me after.

The dress perfectly fitted onto her. I couldn't help but notice her flawless love handles. I even cursed and swallowed harshly when Ji na stood before me like that.

She wore a Cinderella ball gown with embroidery on her bodice. Rhine stones and Pearls were sewn on her gown that matched her crystal head piece. She held a French rose silk bouquet. When she began to walk towards me my heart beat matched with her pace. It started beating so fast that I thought it'll probably gonna tear up my chest.

The way she looked at me when she started to walk towards me had sent an arrow that pierced through my heart.

»»-—————--✧✦✧--—————-««

Ji na positioned herself beside Jungkook a feet away from him, but he managed to pull her towards him by her waist. She gave a warming look at him with a big smile on her face. And jungkook grabbed a chance to give a peck on her cheek.

"Cherished family members and honoured guests, I would like to thank each of you for coming out this evening", the preacher on the podium spoke.

" Let us begin by offering thanks to the lord on this wonderful day", all of them bowed their heads and he prayed.

The preacher led them through their vows and it was time for the exchange of rings. Both of them slipped their rings on each others fingers.

" By the power vested on me, I now proclaim you both husband and wife. Now, You may kiss the bride." the preacher ordered.

Jungkook leaned forward onto Ji na and kissed her plump lips placing his hands on her shoulder.

The emcee of the ceremony was elected to be Mr. Kim Seokjin, actor and best friend of Jungkook. He performed his duties very well from guiding the guests to introducing the cake cutting and bouquet throwing activities at the end of the wedding by cracking jokes in between that kept the guests entertained.

Jin announced the dinner and the hotel staff placed the delicious food before the guests guided by jimin who took the charge of catering .

Mean while Ji na and Jungkook left the hall to change their outfit into a comfortable one. The Best Man and Maid of Honour trailed behind them to help them.

Jungkook followed Ji na to her room but the bridesmaid's successfully shoo-ed him away.

They returned to the hall and sat beside each other on the podium. Jin handed over his mic to his beloved wife to give a speech and so the entertainment continued as each of their friends started singing,dancing and giving speeches for them. Jungkook even managed to pull Ji na to dance with him.

After the commencement of their evening, the guests were offered dessert and the couple went back again to change their outfits into traditional korean hanbok.

They returned the hall holding each others hand and greeted each and every guest at their respective tables. The guests stood up at their places pausing for hugs and kisses congratulating the young couple and giving them beautiful gifts.

Jungkook managed to invite south korean president and the first lady who just arrived at the time the newly weds were greeting their guests. The older couple congratulated the younger ones and handed over a venus flower basket which has a great reason to it's own. In Japan it symbolizes " till death do us part". They helped them reach out safely, greeted them once again for accepting their invitation and returned back into the hall.

Ji na then turned around throwing her bouquet behind her. The women collided with each other as they tried to catch it.

Jungkook and Ji na ran to the decorated Ferrari that waited for them. Taehyung and Jin tried to stop both of them from escaping, just to tease them.

Taehyung tried hard not to step on Ji na's long trail that brushed the ground as they ran. They were so quick to get away. Jungkook jumped in the driver's seat helping Ji na settle herself in the passenger seat. Jungkook took off as if it were a race. The ribbons, twisted coils whisked in the wind behind them.

The happily married couple left the hotel all by themselves to get few dates and chest nuts for the pybaek ceremony held at Ji na's in-laws place.

"I'm not gonna speak to you, Ji na . You hurted me...", said jungkook seriously steering .

"What did I do kookie?" Ji na cried out.

"Firstly, you didn't show up when I texted you. And worst of all you sent Taehyung instead. You know how they made fun of me", complained Jungkook.

" I sent you a sorry text later sweet heart", Ji na defended herself.

Jungkook gave Ji na a staid glare.

" And secondly, you've distracted me during the entire wedding with that sexy dress of yours and ofcourse your seductive figure. My mom caught me eyeing your provocative figure and she gave me a death glare...", pouted Jungkook.

Ji na chuckled and leaned forward to give Jungkook a quick kiss and settled herself to where she was before.

" Are you tryna give me a ROADHEAD baby girl. I'm ready for it . Go on", Jungkook laughed.

"STOP KOOKIE!!! You're so shameless. There are people here", shouted Ji na cutting her eye contact with Jungkook's and blushing all herself.

Jungkook halts his car at the parking of the store and both of them entered the store merrily.

Ji na let goes jungkook's hand in the store helping herself to find a small pack of nuts. After 15 minutes of struggling, she eventually finds the perfect sized pack.

She turns to face her husband to show him what she got. To her surprise she finds him standing at the bill counter with a large pack which is half of his height.

Ji na quickly grabs Jungkook out of the queue .

" What are you doing Ji na? You cant see I'm paying up there!! " Jungkook yells.

" Is this whole packet for the entire family? Pybaek's only for us bae. We dont need a larger pack." Ji na explains while throwing the large one to where it was before.

" I want you to collect as many nuts as possible with your skirt at pybaek so that we'll have many kids." Jungkook says in a matter of fact tone.

" This man's probably gonna kill me with those looks some day and he never forgets to embarrass me everywhere " she thought to her self hitting her palm on her forehead .

She grabs Jungkook by his hand,paying off at the counter for the packet and yeeting him into their car.

Jungkook trails behind her silently and gives her a soft kiss and they're off to their destination.

»»-—————--✧✦✧--—————-««

Both the couple arrive at Jungkook's lavish house and his parents greeted the young couple into their house. Ji na handed over the packet to her mother in law .

Both of them entered the hall way which was crowded with their friends and family members.

" You were fast kid. Both of you ran as if you were eloping." said Jin bursting out his wind shielded laugh.

" I realized that if we both stayed there you and your wife were never going to let us breathe. So we had to do that." replied Jungkook with a poker face.

" Let us begin the ceremony. " called out jungkook's mom.

Ji na and jungkook sit facing eachother beside the table decorated with chestnuts and dates.

Ji na and jungkook hold a white apron from both it's ends and his parents threw them towards the newly weds. Jungkook gives his 100% , catching everything without missing a single seed. Ji na couldn't stop but give jungkook a kiss on his cheek for his extraordinary performance .

The number caught signifies the no. of girls (dates) and boys (chestnuts) they would bear in future.

Later Jungkook lifts Ji na on his back and gives her a ride to denote his strength which is a part of ceremony.

Jungkook places a chestnut between his lips and its Ji na's turn now to take a bite from his mouth.

All of their friends and family members cheer them and enjoy themselves with the drinks and so the wedding day ended on a happy note.

»»-—————--✧✦✧--—————-««

The next day Jungkook wakes up first yet late after their first official first night from a state where Jungkook back hugged Ji na tightly, protecting her from the cold breeze and their duvet being tangled up between their legs.

He quickly gives Ji na a cute sleep peck on her forehead and goes out into their new kitchen to make her breakfast.

After a while, he comes back with two cups of caffé latte along with croissants and wakes his wifey up.

" WOW!!! I'm quite impressed. " exclaims Ji na giving him a kiss to appreciate his efforts.

" I did this only to get a kiss from you and now my mission is successful." he says joyfully plonking on the bed beside Ji na.

»»-—————--✧✦✧--—————-««

A sharp door bell breaks Ji na and Jungkook apart who were probably enjoying their best quality time watching a movie while cuddling each other. Jungkook curses even without knowing who showed up at their home, gets up angrily to attend the door.

As he opened the door he hears a loud thud followed by metallic sheet pieces, ribbons falling straight on his head.

When he recovers from the unexpected blast he sees his's and Ji na's friends standing with balloons, party supplies and beverages.

They hug Jungkook and run into his house without his permission. He stands there for a while with a poker face and ofcourse crying internally for the interruption they caused.

He closes the door and returns to where ji na is.

" Jungkook-ah, sorry for the intervention. It's been a long time since our last meet so we just came here to see you both. ", explains Taehyung.

'It was yesterday we last met . This bastard is getting on my nerves' Jungkook thought to himself giving him a fake smile and crying internally.

Ji na senses Jungkook's annoyance and tries to calm him down, simultaneously, greeting the guests trying hard not to show them how they actually feel.

" It's been so long we all sat together like this. So I thought it would be a great around every one and come to breach our lovely weds time." Namjoon wiggled his eyebrows teasingly while Jungkook got more pissed.

"Oh my God I just asked Jungkook to watch it with me. I myself was really looking forward to it. It's gonna be amazing view from our balcony.I am glad you brought in all of us together." Ji Na states excited but yet feels the longing gaze Jungkook gives.

" This was gonna be our thing, You spoiled it hyung." Jungkook whined poutyly but Ji Na pulled him closer to comfort the giant man child.

Soon every body gathered in the balcony. With some Chinese take out brought in by the considerate Jimin.

Namjoon started to adjust the telescope to view the shower more precisely to be able to witness it's beauty.

All started to anticipate the meteor shower to start soon as per the live news shown on the internet. All just cuddled up in their blankets and fell into random conversations.

Couples start to get sappy to which the single boys started to mock yet all were grateful to have their loved ones together to witness something that will happen only few times in a period of human existence.

"So what were you guys doing fifteen years back." Taehyung asks

"You know, we were just a bunch of dorky kids who wouldn't even care about once in a life time astronomical deals, it was characterized nerdy." Yoongi retorts sarcastically.

" That was the reason I didn't invite you guys then." Namjoon states silently while still peering through the telescope.

" Oh God!! I saw one. Guys!!! it's happening!! " Namjoon states excited as if he were the same kid fifteen years ago.

Soon the meteors start falling through distinct sky appearing like beautiful splinters of fire which can be explained as the fireworks made by nature.

Along with Namjoon all others start to get excited and some of them start jiggling around happily while holding to the balcony reeling.

The maknaes pushed their hyung to try and see the meteors a little nearer through the only telescope.

While staring with lightened smile MinJi states" I remember seeing this while camping when I was eleven with two of my best friends. It was one of the most beautiful thing I ever witnessed and that with them along with me. It's nostalgic seeing it again today", said with her eyes sparkling.

Soo Jung gets a little confused " What a coincidence I saw the meteor shower in a summer camp with my friends too."

Ji Na can't help but cut in and she felt a chill run down her spine for such an absurd coincidence the world has ever played on them.

"So Min.... Minty, Oh God Min Ji!! Are you MINTY POO?" Ji Na shouts shocked.

"That means, Soo Jung you are SOJU BUN !!" MinJi exclaims.

Now all of them just look at themselves in silence

"What are you long lost sisters or something..?" Yoongi remarks sarcastically while not being able to digest the trio's exaggerated expressions.

All of them just start giggling together as what Yoongi said was actually close to reality.

"Some thing like that, Yoongi... All of us went to the same summer camp when we were eleven that's where we know each other from." Soo Jung enunciates.

" Wow!! I can't believe this can all be coincidental and it's so absurd we didn't realize this till today." Ji Na states still in daze about the new found information.

" It's okay Jiffy Bugga..." Soo Jung teases.

" I can't believe we found each other again. I missed you guys so much after I left the summer camp. I still get dew-eyed thinking about our memories." Min Ji says while pulling the two girls for a group hug.

"W-Wha-Ba-Hahaha... " Taehyung cracks up listening to his wife's name. "Minty poo!! " He says breathely, earning a slap on his arm from MinJi herself.

"Soju Bun huh. Should have told me sooner." Jin teases Soo Jung while patting her head.

Soo Jung kicks him to his shin and he exclaims way dramatically than the actual pain.

" I just meant that I don't need real SOJU when i have you." He says, agonizing in pain while Soo Jung side eyes him.

On seeing their hyung suffer like that, all the boys who were previously laughing, instantly shut up while Jungkook who was about to taunt Ji na with her nick name clamps his mouth up too.

After the girls stop getting perplexed and emotional about there unexpected reunion they pull a toast for life and how things can turn out so unexpected.

Soulmates bakudeku / kirikami au part 3

Part 2

“It’s the third time he asked to come over this week”

“If you are okay with it, I don’t mind if he comes over” Katsuki responded nonchalantly, sitting on the couch beside Kaminari.

“You sure?” Denki let his head rest over Katsuki’s shoulder and looked up at him.

“I’m sure” Katsuki offered him one of the carrot sticks he was eating and Kaminari took one, though when he took a closer look at it he straightened, making an ugly face.

“What’s this? Where’re the Doritos?”

“There are not going to be any Doritos for us. We’ve got to take better care of ourselves after the last couple days”

“Uuhh” the electric blonde groaned, chomping down on the carrot stick. “Oh, well, that’s not bad”

After another moment, Katsuki asked. “Are you gonna tell him to come over, then?”

“Uh, I guess. But I will need you here”

“You’ve been so dependent on me lately. Look at my hand. I’m not the one, okay?” Katsuki grumbled, waving his open hand in front of Denki’s face.

“I’m asking you this as a friend, Kats. I’m not trying to make you my boyfriend, okay?” Denki swatted at Katsuki’s hand, forcing it out of his face.

“I’m out of your league, though” Katsuki added, using the same hand to lightly punch Denki.

“Oh, thank you! With friends like you I don’t need any other guy breaking my heart” He punched him back. “Idiot” He made a face. “And you’re not my type, okay? I’m out of your league too”

“Are you actually being serious right now?” Katsuki looked at him out of the corner of the eye, raising an eyebrow.

“I am. You’re an asshole. I only agreed to rooming with you because this place is nearby Eiji’s place and I can’t afford to rent a place on my own”

“I appreciate your sincerity. It was the same for me” Katsuki shrugged and leaned back on the couch.

“So, zero interest, right? Like really zero and always zero interest between us?” Denki asked, leaning closer to emphasize his point.

“Like hell, man. You know what’s going on”

“And you know what’s going on, too. So this is okay” Denki shrugged before changing the topic. “Just… I need support. And affection. I’m touch-starved, man” He whined, latching onto one of Katsuki’s arms.

“You’re making it sound so gross” He tried to break free, but Denki wasn’t letting go.

“Live with it”

Katsuki tousled Denki’s bangs roughly with his free hand, blocking his view.

“Don’t push your luck, kiddo”

“Yeah, yeah, whatever, big bro” the boy responded sarcastically, releasing his grip on Katsuki’s arm and pushing the hand away from his face, smoothing his bangs back in place. He reclined on the couch and draped his legs over his friend’s lap. “I’m gonna tell him to come over, then”

But Katsuki saw the look in those golden eyes and tapped one leg, calling for his attention. “Hey. We can do this, okay?”

The boy nodded and typed on his phone, setting it aside when he finished. It wasn’t unusual to hang out in one another’s apartments, so Kirishima knew he could come over anytime if neither of them told otherwise.

“And if it’s too much for us,” Katsuki started, “we can move into another place a little farther away” But even as he said it, Katsuki knew he would never leave Izuku behind. He sighed. “Maybe it’ss time for us to start searching”

“Wah- Are we giving up?” And Katsuki let out a dry laugh.

“What do you wanna do? Is there even anything we can do?”

“Well. It’s not like everything’s set in stone. We don’t know if they’re… We don’t know for sure. And even if they are, there are people who date without stains”

“But Deku was searching… And the bandage…”

“I know…” Denki patted his shoulder and Katsuki was suddenly thankful he at least had Denki on his side. The guy was a dumbass and he didn’t like him when they met, but now he was glad they were friends. The day Kaminari had opened up to him and told him he loved Kirishima but was terrified to touch him… Katsuki found a confidant. They get along easily after that.

“I will search for dates for us. Maybe we can find someone, even if it’s not our soulmate” Denki said, playing with his choker.

“You think you can date someone knowing how you feel about another guy and knowing there’s someone else, somewhere, who’s made for you?”

“I understand your point, but… I know people who are dating without stains and they’re doing well, they seem happy”

“Yeah, but we’re so young. The day those people receive their stains…”

“And if they don’t? I mean… What if they don’t have a soulmate? Or if they never find each other?” Denki looked deep into Katsuki’s eyes, lowering his eyebrows. “What if I never found someone?”

Katsuki offered a hand and Denki took it, letting himself sat again on the couch. Katsuki wrapped an arm around him and looked away, as Denki rested his forehead on Katsuki’s shoulder.

“We’re gonna figure this out” Denki’s phone pigned but he didn’t move.

“I feel lost” The boy murmured into his friend’s shoulder.

“Me too. I’ve felt like this for years. I always knew he would find someone… but I wasn’t prepared for it to actually happen…”

“You can find someone too. I’ll help you find your soulmate” He put a hand over Katsuki’s free one.

“I don’t know if I even want to find whoever it is” Katsuki huffed.

“I want to. But I want it to be him” Katsuki hugged Kaminari when he noticed the tears on his clothes. He was not a very empathetic person, but he could totally understand what Denki’s suffering.

“Are you sure you want him to come?”

“I don’t know. But I do know that I miss him”

“Then stop staining my shirt with your eyeliner and go clean yourself up; he could be here any minute”

Denki rubbed his eyes, getting up. He laid a gentle hand over Katsuki’s pale blonde head as a thanks, offering a sad smile. Ten minutes later he was back. His phone pigned once more, and he glanced at the screen.

“Kats?”

“Hm?”

Denki peeked at Katsuki, his apprehension palpable. “Midoriya is coming too”

“No” Katsuki blurted.

“Yes. They’re coming now”

“No” He repeated, something suspiciously like panic in his voice.

“I… I’m not- I’m not prepared to see them together… Not by myself”

“I’m leaving” Katsuki got up and grabbed his keys. Denki bolted towards him, grabbing his clothes.

“You can’t leave me here alone with them. Don’t do this to me!”

“I can’t do this, Kami, I just can’t”

“Me neither. And definitely not without you”

“What can we do, then? What if you just… Wait. Tell him you have something to do, something you’d forgotten”

“Okay, okay, good idea” The boy typed with one hand, the other still clutching Katsuki just in case he ran away. Kirishima called. Katsuki recognized icy fear in Denki’s eyes, and his insides twisted as Denki trembling finger pressed the slowing phone icon.

“Hey, hi, sorry, I forgot I’d already made plans”

“Don’t worry, I know you’re a mess, anyway. Are you going on a date or something?” He laughed at the other end of the call.

Denki chuckled nervously, fingers shaking. “Yeah…”

“Oh… Um, well, is Bakugou home? It’s been a while and we can wait for you at your apartment?” Denki looked up at Katsuki, who shook his head violently. No fucking way was he going to do that.

“I… He… He’s coming with me. Next time, okay? I gotta go, bye”

“Uh. ‘Key. Bye, then” Denki sighed and finally let go of Katsuki’s shirt, wrapping his arms around his stomach and hunching over.

“Kami, you do realize you just told him we’re going on a date together, right?”

“EHH?”

YOUR ANALYSIS OF THE HUG JUST MADE ME SO HAPPY SO SO HAPPY I have a question for you now what do you think of TK grabbing Carlos’ hand because I just can’t GET OVER IT he’s so tentative but confident in his decision and then he places their intertwined fingers on his stomach AND CRADLES CARLOS’ HAND WITH HIS OWN IN HIS SWEATSHIRT POCKET?!?!?!? I’m so in love with these two they give us so much <3<3

Anon, bless you for appreciating that nearly 3,000-word diatribe about a moment that literally lasts for 2 seconds - a moment that I will truly never recover from, let’s be honest. I’m so glad that you love it too!

At the end of that post I mentioned the hand-holding moment in their final scene, but you’re totally right - I think that moment deserves its own post. This won’t be as long as the last one, since in a lot of ways the hand-holding moment is an extension of the things that are expressed in the hug moment, but I’ve definitely got some things to say!

So, the first thing to know about me: HAND-HOLDING. IS. MY. SHIT.

I can’t pin-point exactly when that became my favorite form of intimacy, but I would wager a guess that Pride and Prejudice (2005) had a lot to do with it - this takes the cake as my favorite hand-holding moment, it is what it is. Also, just... hands. Things like this post that I came across this week just completely wreck my entire soul:

I think holding someone’s hand can be the most intimate and personal form of support and comfort. Like, think about it: it’s hard to subtly hug or kiss someone in a room of people; it’s really likely that someone would notice. But, holding someone’s hand? Linking pinkies? Knuckles brushing? “Palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss”?? It can be so quiet, so personal. Just for the two people involved.

Hand-holding can be private and gentle, it can be purposeful (let’s link hands so that I can guide you somewhere, or because we don’t want to get lost/separated) or just because you crave someone’s touch (see: the screenshot above). Hand-holding is an act so simple, so common, but it can speak volumes, and I honestly just cannot get enough of it. Every hand-holding moment that I get to witness will light me on fire because I truly am trash for intimacy and love.

youtube

So, here’s what I said about the hand-holding moment in my hug analysis post:

I honestly cannot wait for season 2. This hug and the final scene on the hood of Carlos’s car - with TK again making the move to embrace their relationship by physically reaching into Carlos’s space for his hand and dragging it into his own space, firmly opening the door to his heart to let him inside, while also settling Carlos’s hand between his own to let him know that he’s willing to protect him and his heart too - makes me believe that we are in for some truly wonderful romance with these boys.

This scene, like the hug, took me completely by surprise. I would’ve definitely put money on this season ending with the breakup scene, and the possibility of their future up in the air until season 2. I am obviously SO GLAD that that is not what happened - plus, the final episode really does a great job of giving TK a full season arc, so it’s just better writing to include the moments with Carlos.

The above clip is 35-seconds long, so let’s see how many words it takes for me to break it down 😅

Right from the very beginning, I’m drawn to their body language. They are almost perfect mirror images of one another as they lay on top of the hood: outer legs are bent, with the foot flat. Inner legs are more elongated, though I can’t help but notice how Carlos’s right leg is bent towards TK (why is this scene so dark, it’s so hard to see, wah). They will continue to mirror each other in a lot of ways throughout the scene, which I’ll be sure to point out.

Like the hug scene before, they seem very casual, and as comfortable as a person can be on the hood of a car - blankets probably would’ve been nice, Carlos!

However, I think there are subtle indications that they don’t have everything figured out - both of TK’s hands are hidden inside of his pocket and Carlos’s hand is more closed than open.

Again, for a person who loves them so much, I don’t spend a lot of time studying hand analysis, but I do know that hidden hands - in pockets, in gloves, behind your back, etc - has a lot of meaning. While I pointed out that Carlos seems to be positioned towards TK, TK is very much in his own space on the hood of the car. He’s still a little wary, maybe? Still a little unsure, possibly?

I think the concept of personal space is so interesting. A chunk of my hug analysis included the idea that Carlos was on the edge of TK’s space (the fire station), but refused to enter on his own, and that TK came to him and entered his space instead. They never actually enter the fire station together; they stay right there at the door, merging their spaces right on the edge of their own two worlds.

That’s why I think this scene is an extension of that physical conversation. Because this is the scene where we actually get to see TK fully invite Carlos into his space - basically dragging him there by the hand. By the end of this scene, there is no question in our minds where these two are going to go from here. We didn’t need Tim Minear to tell us that they are going to date next season, it’s completely obvious after this moment.

I’m getting ahead of myself.

I also want to point out Carlos’s right hand at the beginning of the scene, since it gets a starring role later. Remember that at the end of the hug scene, his hands are open and flat on TK’s back, indicating that he was open and willingly vulnerable in that moment. Now, his hand is closed. Not clenched, not fisted, but definitely less open than before.

All of this to say, the hug was a moment of open and vulnerable physical connection between them, and this moment does not really start out that way.

I think it’s because they both know they have things to talk about, and talking can kind of go either way with them. The last time they really talked on-screen, they “broke up,” so maybe now they’re a little uncertain how this is going to go, even though they both know that they want it. It’s like, being certain of the theory behind something, and then having to put it into practice; it can be scary.

So, Carlos makes a move and asks a question - “What are you thinking?”

Their bodies don’t move at all. There’s no rush, no hurry. They are certain about their physical connection, but that’s not what this moment is for them. It’s all about their words and thoughts, so their bodies stay out of it for now.

Mirror images: first line Carlos says, he’s looking up. First line TK says, he’s looking up. Second line Carlos says, he looks over at TK. Second line TK says, he looks over at Carlos.

I just love when they look at each other. Love is so beautiful, y’all.

AND NOW WE GET TO THE HANDS.

TK pulls his left hand from his pocket - from where it’s protected, from where it’s hidden - and he breaks into Carlos’s space. Just like the hug scene was about TK coming towards Carlos, this is that same movement. TK comes to him again, almost like a reminder of what that hug meant.

I love that TK looks down to link his hands with Carlos’s, but Carlos keeps his eyes on TK’s face, almost like he’s still trying to read into his mind. He’s watching his face, trying to see through him, discover everything he might not be saying. This man is so soft, so observant and attentive, and my heart can’t handle it.

Carlos’s right hand might be slightly closed and facing away from TK, but that doesn’t stop him from grabbing it and linking their fingers together anyway. TK’s up to the challenge!

We won’t talk about the intimacy of where Carlos’s hand is resting, and how TK doesn’t even second-guess going there - BUT I KNOW YOU ALL SEE IT

(I mean, I will talk about it just to say that if there is one thing these two know about each other, it’s that they don’t hold back on a physical level, so why should TK?)

I. AM. OBSESSED. with the way TK’s fingers kind of wrap around and spider through Carlos’s fingers - it’s not a super easy feat, it takes some maneuvering, but he seems super determined.

Carlos definitely doesn’t fight him on it, his hand willingly opens and moves to make the linking possible/easier.

THERE IS THIS BEAUTIFUL MOMENT WHERE THEIR HANDS ARE MID-LINK AND THEY ARE BOTH LOOKING DOWN AT THEM AND I SWEAR TO GOD IT’S A RENAISSANCE PAINTING Y’ALL (SCREENSHOT BELOW) IT IS SO STUNNING. I AM STUNNED.

TK pulls Carlos’s hand into his lap, dropping it down softly onto of the pocket and, as you pointed out anon, right on top of his other hand

Their eyes immediately return to each other and the love??? is ICONIC???

But like, this is where this moment becomes an extension of the hug moemnt.

See, whereas that moment was TK entering Carlos’s space, this is TK saying “I want you with me, over here in my world, by my side, in my hands, I think it’s where you belong”

And not only that, but by cradling Carlos’s hand in-between his own, shielding it from the elements - I mean, looks back at the scene, Carlos’s hand is basically hidden - he’s also saying “I’m gonna protect you, and take care of you, if you let me. I don’t want to hurt you anymore”

Because I think TK knows this has all been hard on Carlos, the constant back-and-forth and uncertainly has left him really vulnerable.

And just like Carlos pressed both of his open hands to TK’s lower back during the hug to shield such a vulnerable area from harm, TK now shields Carlos from harm. Reassures him that he’s steady now. That he’s ready for them.

(Also the heart eyes at the end of this scene and the way TK definitely stares at Carlos’s mouth for a moment?? THESE TWO TOTALLY MADE OUT AFTER THIS.)

I AM A GLASS CASE OF SOFT EMOTIONS

Renaissance painting:

January 18th, I need you to get here, like, yesterday. I’m about to LOSE. IT.

Dʀɪᴠᴇʀ’s Eᴅ- Dᴏʏᴏᴜɴɢ

Your bestfriend decided her brother is the best option for teaching you how to drive. Once you got your license, you got a present for yourself. Who knew Doyoung thought it was hot.

/:/:/:/:/:/:/:/:/:/:/:/:/:/:/:/:/:/:/:/:/:/:/:/:/:/:/:/:/:/:/:/:/:/:/:/

“I don’t see why I have to meet your brother, Mina” “Because I want you to have the best learning experience.” You had been trying to get your license the past few years and now you finally have your temps. The only thing is, you needed a teacher. Your friend, Mina, insists that her brother, whom you’ve never met, teach you. He was only older by three years so you don’t understand why he was so “experienced”. Mina pushed you through her now unlocked door and into her living room. “Slow down, Speedy Gonzalez!” You couldn’t help but laugh at her reaction.

“Doyoungie~” No reply. She insisted he was home. “DOYOUNG-AH!” “YOU MUST RESPECT YOUR OLDER BROTHER.” A boy ran down the stairs followed by another. You recognized the blond almost immediately. “JUNGWOO!!!” He gave a big smile and hugged you. Jungwoo was your friend all through school until you had to move in with your brother across the country. “Honey bun!” “You remembered!” You had caught him ogling at the honey buns in your dad’s bakery before school everyday. When you asked him why he didn’t buy one, he explained that his family was poor and his mom was in the hospital. So, everyday after, when school started, you brought him a honey bun. That’s how your nickname came to be.

“Mina, who is this?” “So uh, I need you to teach her how to drive.” The boy that went by Doyoung sighed. “Why would I teach one of your friends—who by the way, I don’t know—to drive? What am I? Free labor?” Mina nodded and you and Jungwoo giggled. “I aM nOt!” “But, Doyoungie… Hey, I courted one of your friends to prom. I don’t like him.” Doyoung’s face contorted with annoyance. “He needed a prom date and he was crushing on you. Jeno is a nice kid, don’t be so mean.” “I admit, he’s not bad looking but he’s too clingy.” You couldn’t help but interrupt. “Um, first of all, so are you and second of all, Jeno is not too clingy. He calms down.” “Oh, yeah. He’s your cousin. Anyways. Doyoung please?” Doyoung let out a deep sigh. It was 3 to 1. “Fine. I’m going to go make food.”

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

Your palms were sweating on the wheel. “Okay turn here.” “WAIT! ONTO THE HIGHWAY?” Doyoung nodded calmly. The traffic was heavy and you waited for what seemed like an eternity to actually turn. When you took the turn, you got scared and screeched because a semi was barreling down the road. To you, he seemed 2 feet away but in reality, he was more than 100 feet. When you got to a stop light, you looked over at Doyoung who was wheezing. “I. CAN’T. BELIEVE. YOU. SCREAMED. I SHOULD’VE GOTTEN THAT ON CAMERA!” On a traffic less road you did a brake check as payback.

A few weeks later, you felt more comfortable in driving with a few things scaring you here and there. It was time for your driving test. You weaved through the cones with ease as you had practice avoiding the dead animals littered on the road. The thing you were most proud of, was your parallel parking. You ended up passing with flying colors and went in to get your license picture taken. No way you were telling Doyoung and Mina until the card came.

You checked your mail and there it was. The card. Quickly, you ran inside and showed Jeno. “Jeno, look!” “Wah! I am so proud! If auntie was here, she’d be proud of you too.” After a hug and a goodbye, you grabbed the keys and drove to the Kim household. When the door opened, the first person you hugged was Doyoung. He was the one who helped you pass so he should be the one who got the first hug. It was your first time hugging him. Doyoung smelled strongly of the citrus he was using to flavor the chicken with.

“Why are you hugging me?” You pulled out the card and handed it to him. “I passed thanks to you!” Mina and Jungwoo cheered but your eyes stayed trained onto Doyoung’s smile. “I think this calls for you to stay over for dinner and Doyoung can make the celebration brownies!” “All these years and you still think I’m free labor.” You laughed. “That’s the definition of older siblings: Free labor.” You couldn’t help but giggle once again at the two siblings. “No, anyone older than you is free labor.” “Jungwoo, that means I would be free labor. I want to feel bad for Doyoung not take over his duties.”

A gasp came from Doyoung. ”No celebration brownies for you.” Your eyes went wide and you frantically said no. “I love your cooking. Don’t do this to me, please! Doyoung, I’m begging you.” He smiled and patted your head. “Aish fine! What am I going to do with such a big baby?” Jungwoo protested. “I am the baby, hyung. Me. Myself. And I.” With a cute little pout, Doyoung squeezed Jungwoo’s cheeks. “We know, Woo.”

———————————

You were sad. Feeling down. You actually missed driving with Doyoung but time passed and you both went back to work. During break, your phone rang and you recognized the caller ID as Mina. “Hey girl! So, do you want to come over for movie night.” That was their family thing, no way you were going to intrude. “It’s the Kim thing. I’m not a Kim, I’m a Lee. I don’t want to ruin your family time.” Mina must’ve had you on speaker because the boys started to protest. “You are family whether you like it or not.” You giggled. “Thanks, Jungwoo. I’ll be over then.”

Deep down though, you were nervous. You hadn’t seen Mina in a few months due to busy schedules and you had a secret. After turning of age, you got something that you wanted and it hurt like hell. At your house, you looked in the mirror and stuck out your tongue to admire the tongue ring. The metal was cool and a light blue color. It stood out. Quickly, you threw on some clothes and headed out the door. Driving along the roads you knew so well, you were there.

Mina and Jungwoo greeted you at the door. “Doyoung is cooking dinner. You should go say hi while we pick out a movie.” You nodded and went inside to the kitchen. “Do you need help? I’m told I am a decent cook.” His gaze turned from pan to you. “Hmmm. Taste this.” Before you can respond, he put the spoon of frosting in front of your lips. You opened your mouth and Doyoung put the spoon inside messily getting some of the icing on your lips. “Sorry about that.”

You licked your lip and he got a glimpse of the piercing. “Wait? Stick your tongue out.” His gaze made you do what he asked. Doyoung stared at your piercing with a shocked face. Shyly, you turned away putting your tongue back. He whispered a slight damn before gulping and returning to cooking. “I-I am good. Uh h-how was the um icing?” “Sweet and savory.” He thanked you and you walked into the living room.

Choosing movies with Mina was like choosing which is better, cats or dogs. Nobody comes to a compromise. The two of you were arguing when you heard a loud fuck from the kitchen. Everyone ran to see what was going on. Doyoung was cradling his hand to his chest. “I’m fine. I just burnt myself.” It was more than a burn. That pan was hot enough to burn quite a few layers of skin. “Doyoung, you are not fine. Look, let ______ help you. Her mom was a doctor.” He was about to protest but Mina gave him a look and he shrunk back. You led Doyoung to the bathroom and had him sit on the counter while you got the first aid kit. Once you started treating him, you tried to take his mind off of the pain.

“Hey, look at me. Talk to me. It’ll take your mind off of the pain.” He did indeed look at you but no words came out. “Fine, we don’t have to speak.” A few moments later you were done applying the bandage. “Okay you are all fixed up!” You noticed that he was still staring at you. “Doyoung?” That was it. That last straw. Doyoung hopped down and kissed you. When he nipped at your bottom lip it made you gasp and he inserted his tongue. His tongue grazed over your piercing and you moaned softly. “How much longer are you guys gonna- be? Umm okay, bye.” The two of you laughed and watched Mina walk away.

“We should do this more often.”

“What? Burn yourself and make out in your bathroom?”

“If that’s what it takes to get you to make out with me.”

“Doyoung, you can just ask.”

“Can I ask something else?”

“What?”

“Will you be my girlfriend?”

“SHE SAYS YES!” Mina screamed.

“MINA!”

“I’m not going to miss out on my best friend being my sister.”

You laughed and rolled your eyes before turning back to Doyoung. “Yes, I will be your girlfriend.” “Good.” He kissed you again before dragging you out to get some of the dinner that Jungwoo finished. Doyoung was peacefully eating his dinner when you smeared some icing on his cheek. “Clean that off. You did it.” “No.” When he pouted, you gave in and used your finger to wipe it away. “That’s what I thought.” “Shut up.”

i use my blog like a diary and today i realized i never talked about what happened in my life while i was blog-less from april to august so:

so my blog was suspended right before my 10 year tumblr anniversary with that blog which was april 5th i believe.

on april 6th i flew to san diego to do the 6 california dates of the frank/tbs tour. the tour was so much fun!!! we went to disney for two or three days that we had off from the tour which was a lot of fun.

the highlight of the tour was the second night in LA because I MET RAY!!!! while tbs was on i saw ray hanging back in the crowd and i couldn’t help myself i had to go say hi so i introduced myself and told him how much the music meant to me, it was really brief cause the show was going on and it was super loud and he was with his wife but he was like the gentlest and nicest man ever....however i had to go chug a 20 dollar beer right afterwards to cope.

we figured gerard and mikey were there as well since they all always go to frank LA shows but im glad i didnt see gerard cause that would just cause a breakdown im a simple man and gerard way makes me cry!

but frank did come talk to us that night, it was the only opportunity i really got on that tour to talk to frank and i hadnt talked to him since last summer when i got really bombed at a tribute show and talked to him while black out drunk which i dont remember. so i had a really good talk with him and i was like i dont know WHY im telling you this but i reminded him how i told him about my alopecia a while back and how mcr had helped me cope with that well while i was in california i tested not wearing a hat to cover my alopecia for the first time and even though it was super scary everyone treated me the same and i did itt! i survived!! so i reminded him how i told him about that and then told him how i had been combatting that on the trip and he seemed so genuinely happy for me he was like that is so awesome and he hi fived me. and it was good i really love frank. oh also i told him we were going to get tattoos in san fransisco and he told us to go to idle hand so

in san fransisco we did go to idle hand to get tattooed! i got a heart on my middle finger and my broken armed boozey that frank drew up for me after i had broken my arm at his show and frank had warned us that they might not be the friendliest people but they were great tattoo artists so we were like scared?? but my guy was so fucking nice and literally hugged me when i tipped him and he thought it was so cool that we were following the tour so idk...good experience.

when i got home from the tour though it was a few weeks until my 25th birthday and i didnt want to live so i went inpatient for almost 2 weeks :( but then i got out and had my birthday and lived i guess lmao

when i went back to work i had like nO MONEY because i spent all of it in california but frank had east coast shows coming up and the release of barriers and i was just like if i dont go i am gonna lose my fucking mind! and my friend convinced me to go to harrisburg and she bought my ticket so i was like yay! amen! this friend is always so good to me i cant explain.

anyway this is my favorite thing. im standing outside the venue talking to my friends before doors and the band walks out the front cause theres only one entrance and theyre going to the bus but frank seens me and walks the other way to come over and shake my hand and tell me it was good to see me ;____; literally rerouted himself to say hi to ME specifically i was like...wah. im baby. i LOVE HIM.

i ended up getting stupid drunk at the show and woke up in the back seat of my car the next morning still parked across from the venue..dont recommend. but im saying this because it is a plot point!

i got in a lot of trouble for going to pennsylvania without telling anyone and not answering any texts or calls when everynoe was still really worried about me but then a couple weekends later there were more shows....the show frank played on a boat and a signing the next day.

so my friends again paid for me to go because they thought it was important for me. which it was. the boat show was fun but i felt so sick because it was on a literal moving boat and i hadnt eaten or slept but i was extremely overcaffeinated....so when we got to the hotel that night i fell asleep for 15 hours straight i was asleep before my friend even got out of the shower and i did NOT wake up.

the signing the next day was really weird for me. they played a few songs which was fine but then to ‘meet’ frank at a signing was super weird cause he and evan were at this table and i just didnt knwo what to say and i felt really awkward and it was a weird shift in dynamic from how i usually talk to them so i feel like i came off as super nervous and then i was liek frank htates me now cause he thinks i am nervous to talk to him...but then my friend was talking to me about it and we realized that it had been a really long time since id talked to frank sober. and it was sad to realize that but also cool that i could make that realization and move forward from it.

so the NEXT weekend i went to the last show which was asbury lanes. saw a lot of pals there. i could have drank but i didnt drink at all and i had the best time....i was amazed by the lighting idk if it was just really good that night or if i hadnt paid any attention cause id always been drunk but it felt really good and i told frank about it after the show!!

but the whole time that all was happening i was like really fucking depressed and i didnt think i was going to even make it home that time. i did make it home but a few days later i tried to kill myself and ended up in inpatient for the whole month of july. :/

when i got out though i made some changes like leavig chipotle and getting a job at hot topic before anyone expected me to go back to work and i also started taking a bio class which is hopefully now going to turn into me doing a surgical tech program starting in the fall!

im still very depressed but im doing better, even i can admit.

if you read this whole thing you are a champ...

… Did I say Todoroki and Endeavour was a punch in the feels? Bc holy shit, this here right now, was also a punch in. my. fucking. feels… XD I made it SFW bc this is long (3.1k) even w/o the nsfw, buuuutt, if you want, you can request the nsfw part I would be more than happy to write it, but for now, I hope you like it, dear anon~ <3

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

Today was the day. You have finally finished your exams, you had the whole weekend to yourself, well, not quite to yourself alone. As you stood in front of the mirror, fixing your hair, you smiled happily, today you could finally meet some of your boyfriend’s classmates in U.A. personally, since a few of them, you only knew from watching the news, because today, you would visit Katsuki in his dorm and after that he would come with you to spend the weekend in your apartment you rented near your own school.

Though, as you were approaching U.A., you could also feel a different feeling than just excitement, to be honest, you felt anxious. You and Bakugou had been dating for quite some time now and the fact that he was in his final year, meant he was an amazing pro hero to be, in a few months, however you, you wouldn’t particularly say you were this amazing yourself.

You were the opposite of Bakugou, you were a little awkward, you didn’t have a slender body and to top it all off, you were quirkless, and even though, Bakugou knew all of this, he still fell in love with you. “That’s right, Katsuki knew from the beginning who I am and he still loves me, I should have more confident in myself!”, you thought, trying to make you calm down a little, however seeing how many dormitories there were, you got a little lost and in the end, you had to call your boyfriend for help.

“Ha?”, he answered his phone, “Kat-su-ki~”, you whined, “I am totally lost, there are so many buildings, my head is spinning. Save me!” He only sighed, before grabbing his keys and with a “Then tell me in which row you are.” – “Ah… I think, I am in the second…?”

Bakugou told you to stay put, he was on his way and as he was walking through the lobby, there they were, his classmates, waiting for his girlfriend, shit, why did he agree to this? “Oh, you gonna meet her first. You’re gonna be all lovey-dovey with her, hmm?”, Kaminari grinned, making your boyfriend explode, turning his head, “Shut the fuck up! Why does she even want to meet you stupid idiots?!”, he rolled his eyes, before he pushed open the door, stomping outside to look for you.

Thankfully, it didn’t took too long and he found you in the third row, your face lighting up when you saw him, hastily walking up to him. “Oi, you stupid idiot, you can’t even count?”, he asked, though, you were so happy to finally see him again after weeks of only calling and texting, you literally just jumped into his arms and even though he wouldn’t say it out loud, he felt a wave of happiness sweeping through his body as he caught you and finally holding you in his arms again. “But you found me after all, ne~?”, you giggled and he only cupped your cheeks. “Of course, ‘cause I’m fucking great.”, he mumbled and finally, he could seal his lips with yours again.

You stood there for a minute or two, just enjoying the presence of each other as you were holding on to him, his kisses making your knees week. “I missed you.”, you mumbled when he broke the kiss, nuzzling your head into his chest as he hugged your chubby body tightly, holding on to your curves, only murmuring a “Me too…”.

Safe to say, when you both finally walked into the right dormitory, you and Bakugou were welcomed by everyone grinning a little and as he was hugging you to his side, his arm around your shoulder, he yelled at everyone to quit fucking staring. Though, a few girls were the first one to approach you. “Ohh, so that’s Bakugou’s girlfriend, huh?” – “Mh, mh, so that’s his Type, hm?” – “Wah, she’s cute!”, you couldn’t help but blush a little when you heard the conversations starting. “Stop fucking talking like she isn’t even here.”, he kicked a stool over, grunting, blabbering on and on about you as if you were not standing right beside him.

“Katsuki, it’s okay.”, you reached up to hold his hand that was lazily hanging over your shoulder, making him just turn his head with a “Tch.” and everyone was amazed how you could make him calm down like that, you had to be quite an amazing person after all. “It’s so nice to meet you all, let me introduce myself, I am L/n F/n.”

It was nice, really, everyone introduces themselves, some you recognized from TV or news and it was just a very chill atmosphere, at first, but then, Kirishima said something that cut you deep, “So, I always wondered, to be Bakugou’s girlfriend you probably have an amazing quirk, hm?”, he grinned and you knew, he didn’t mean any harm when asking you this, but you couldn’t help feeling a sting, your throat feeling like it would close up, however, you gripped your boyfriends hand a little tighter and before Bakugou could yell at him, you said, “I… I don’t have a quirk.”.

Bakugou felt it, he felt how hard you were trying to smile and grin right now, everyone was quiet for a second, Izuku and the other guys probably more shocked than anyone else that, Bakugou, THE Bakugou Katsuki, had a quirkless girlfriend. “Tch! She doesn’t need a quirk to be fucking amazing.”, he growled at the other’s, making your heart skip a beat, the girls all squealing a little, this side of your boyfriend was rather new, he could be very protective.

As time went by, you and Bakugou were sitting in the lobby with everyone else, and… you felt tired, all your excitement slowly fading away. Right now, you were sitting in his lap as he was hugging your plump body from behind, just mindlessly scrolling through his phone and you tried your best to talk to everyone as they were really enthusiastic about you, they probably liked you, you on the other hand, felt inferior, the more you sat there, you asked yourself, “How? How on earth was it possible for him to fall in love with me?”

Looking at all the cute girls with amazing quirks, girls who were completely above you with everything, he was surrounded by those girls every day, you felt sad. Every day, he had some amazing pro heroes-to-be around him, and you? You were a quirkless, chubby girl trying your hardest to become a (future job), you will never save lives like they would do it, you could never be on par with anyone in here.

You felt dizzy and sick, your insecurities got the better of you. This was not what should’ve happened, you were the one suggesting meeting the people he was surrounded by every day and now, you felt awful. “Oi, you’re shaking.”, you jumped a little when Bakugou’s voice reached your ears, your knees were shaking a little, though you only gulped and told him, “Katsuki~, it’s because I am just excited, I am not meeting soon-to-be pro heroes every day, you know.” It was a lie, but everyone around you only felt flattered, though you couldn’t fool Bakugou, something was definitely wrong with you.

At some point, you couldn’t take it anymore, your heart felt heavy, the insecurities weighing you down, you felt like someone was pushing you to the ground, pressing the air out of your lungs, so you took the chance to snatch your phone, quickly typing a “505” to your best friend, before throwing it in the bag again, you prayed to every God out there in existence that she had time to call you right now, because you needed an excuse, you needed to GO, right now, our you would not be able to keep this smiling mask on for any longer.

The ringing of your phone sounded like an angel’s choir to you, you felt blessed, you loved your best friend so dearly, so you excused yourself, before quickly rummaging through your bag to grab your phone and picking it up.

Silence for a few seconds, you had it on minimum volume so no one could hear what your best friend was talking, though as you were acting you thought to yourself, “Man, I should’ve aimed for an acting career.”

Gasping a little, your eyes widened, before you said, acting a little sad, “Wait, what? Right now? But, I told you, I’m with-“, as if your friend needed you right now. “No, of course, I’ll come! You know that, right?”, silence again. “Yes! I’ll be there in like 30 minutes, you know where my keys are, so go ahead!”, then you ended the call, Katsuki’s classmates looking a little worried and Uraraka was the first to ask you if everything was okay, as you hastily packed everything away, standing up from Bakugou’s lap, who was more than confused and still held on to your side.

“I am so sorry, this is so sudden, but, my best friend got kicked or something, ah I don’t really know, she didn’t say much, she was crying a lot, but I need to go!”, you grabbed your jacket, before turning around to face Bakugou, he was not happy. “But, what about our plans?”, he just quietly said, not everyone had to hear this. “I know, Katsuki, I’m so sorry.”, you fiddled a little with the collar of his shirt, “But you know (bf/n), right? She has done so much for me and she sounded like she needed me. Let’s postpone it to the next weekend, okay? I’ll call you. Forgive me.” and all he got was a little kiss, before you turned around, rushing out the door and gone you were, leaving a very pissed and at the same time worried Bakugou behind – you were definitely hiding something, he could feel it.

………..

Once you were in your own apartment again, your shaking knees finally gave in and all the sadness you had suppressed in the last two hours or so, finally came crashing down on you, right there in the middle of the small entrance way, as you hugged your chubby sides, wanting to rip off those rolls as tears trickled down your cheek. “Why? Why am I like this? I want to be cute. A slender but strong girl with an amazing quirk… I want to be, someone he can be proud of… but I am only… a fat, quirkless and useless idiot.”, you were shouting at yourself in your head, blaming you for being the way you were, despising the current self that looked back at you when you looked in the mirror.

……..

It was around ten at night, when you ended the phone call with your best friend, she wanted to know what really happened and tried her best to comfort you. You felt bad, not only did you lie to Katsuki, you also felt like you were very rude to his classmates. Sighing heavily, you buried your face in your pillow, you cried so much and still, there were still tears welling up whenever you thought back to all those amazing, beautiful girls that surrounded him.

The ringing of your bell jerked you out of your thoughts and blinking, you wiped away a few tears, to be honest, you thought your best friend would stand here, there were instances where she would just come and comfort you in person, that’s why you didn’t even look and just opened the door. “Eh…?”, you were shocked when you saw spiky blond hair though, crimson eyes starring daggers at you. Only stuttering his name, he pushed you, so you were stumbling back a little, walking through the door and closing it, before he just threw his bag to the side. “Wait, wh-?!”, you wanted to say, though he was faster, gripping you by your hips and without any hesitation he just through you over his shoulder, making you scream. “Katsuki! What the hell are you doing?”

“What the hell am I…?! You were the one who fucking lied to me!?”, he grabbed you by your hips, letting you fall on your bed as he was quick to hover over you, he was glaring at you. “So, where is (bf/n)? Not here, right?! You lied to me, even though I was even looking forward to this?!”, he growled, even a little blushing at the end and you felt guilt wash over you, a new set of tears trickling down your cheeks, making him jump a little, he didn’t want to make you cry, shit.

“Ah, no, wait, I’m fucking sorry-?!” – “No! You are right! I lied to you and I hurt you, I am sorry, Katsuki”, you sobbed, trying your hardest to control your shaking voice a little bit, your arms covering your face as you didn’t want to show him your red crying face. “I felt inferior… You are surrounded by all those amazing people every day, you have cute girls around you who are super strong, too. They are all strong and beautiful and have amazing quirks, I have none of that. I am just a quirkless, fat idiot, I am not cute nor pretty, I am not strong and I am not the smartest, too… I don’t know how you can even stand looking at me, I don’t deserve you, you are so amazing and strong and handsome.”, you cried, your voice breaking here and there as all of your emotions just flooded out of you, making you shake, voice cracking at the end.

Bakugou just sat on your hips, looking down on you, as his fingers were buried in the sheets beside you, biting his lips, he didn’t know you would feel this way, he thought, he made it clear how much he loved you, though as things were right now, you wouldn’t listen to him telling you, you were NOT all those things, so he tried another approach.

“I am hotheaded and of course I will abuse you in the future. I am better of as a villain, of fucking course, I should be a villain… and you wouldn’t even want to be touched by me, because I am a stinky, greasy and sweaty ass who could fill a pool with the amount of sweat I produce and imagining fucking me is the grossest thing ever.”

You could only blink, finally putting your arms down so you could look at him, a few tears still trickling down your cheek. “What?”, you cleared your throat because your voice cracked, “That’s not true, Katsuki!” – “But that is what everyone says behind my back.” – “Well, then they are stupid idiots! I don’t think you will ever abuse me, and you don’t stink at all and I couldn’t imagine a better hero than you!”, you were a little louder this time, though as he started laughing a little, you were confused, sniffling a little. “Huh…?”

“See… I feel the same! I don’t think you are useless, or dumb, I don’t care about anyone else beside you, you are fucking pretty and cute, and what, you’re fat. And? Don’t use it to insult yourself, it literally just says you have more fat on your body, that does not equal to being ugly or undesirable, I think you look fucking hot, and to be honest your size was never something I paid attention to, I don’t give a shit, more or less fat, whatever, I like to feel and hold you, and I don’t care about anyone else who thinks otherwise. No one, not even one girl, could compete with you. I never cared about anyone else besides myself, I was an ass who looked down on quirkless people, but you… you changed that. When I met you, you were the first girl who weren’t scared of my personality, you weren’t grossed out the first time I touched your hand. Fuck! You make me say all those mushy shit, I wanna die.”, he buried a hand in his own hair, looking down, staring at your chest as he tried to avoid eye contact, his ears and cheeks red. “Like, fuck! How can I NOT love you, for fuck’s sake?! Don’t you get it?”

You were shocked, hearing Katsuki’s feeling so open and honest for the first time, you felt another wave of tears, though this time, you were so incredibly happy. You sobbed his name and finally, he hugged you, arms wrapped around your neck as you buried your face into his chest. “Geez, stop crying now, would you. You crybaby.”, but even though he said that, he didn’t dare to let go of you, caressing your back and kissing your temple.

After you had finally calmed down, you two cuddled on the bed, one arm wrapped around him loosely as your head was resting on his chest, one of his hands playing with your hair. Bakugou was relieved that, in the end, he did just follow his gut feeling and came after you, he knew something was wrong, and thankfully this didn’t blow up into a much bigger mess.

“Ne, Katsuki?”, you only whispered as you were gently nudging against his pointer finger with your thumb, playing absentmindedly with his fingers and when he grunted a little, you knew you could go on, “You said, people have been talking about you behind your back about you being sweaty and stuff… Could it be… that’s why we haven’t done it yet?”

When you thought you heard an explosion, you looked up, the heat was creeping up his neck to his ears, his face flushed red. “Wait! Am I right?!”, you unbelievably said, and here you were always so unsure if he wanted to touch you, though now, the atmosphere was gone. “Shut up! Shut up, shut up! Don’t say shit like that!”, he only yelled, pressing the back of his hand against his burning face and you could only giggle a little, before letting go of his hand as you turned around so you were lying on your belly, both arms propping you up, leaning forward a little and stealing kisses from him, until he finally pulled away his hand from his face and wrapped his arms around you, deepening the last kiss you stole from him. This was fine, you didn’t have to rush things, but you hoped, like the way Bakugou helped you with your insecurities, you wanted to help him too, so you could finally get to the next level of your relationship.

My April playlist is finished! Please allow me to take you on a journey from the heaven of THP Orchestra to the hell of Inter Arma over three action packed hours. Specially sequenced for maximum enjoyment, there’ll be at least one thing in here you’ll love - I guarantee it. Listen here.

Good To Me - THP Orchestra: I've said it before and I'll say it again, the number one way to find good songs is to go through the whosampled page for Duck Sauce's 2013 album Quack because every single thing they put into that album is a bonafide classic.

I'm Your Boogie Man - KC & The Sunshine Band: I saw Jungle last week and they were absolutely amazing, and the venue started playing this song as soon as the house lights went up after the show which is an extremely good way to get people to not leave your venue and boogie instead. My favourite part of this is near the end of the second verse where he gets even lazier than normal with the lyrics and just says "I want to love you.. ah.. from sundown.. sunup".

Work It Out - A-Trak: I love this new A-Trak song that sounds like a secret lost bonus track from Discovery right down to that specific wah sound on the guitar.

Starlight - The Supermen Lovers: There was all this news last year that Music Sounds Better With You by Stardust was getting remastered and rereleased for its 20th anniversary and was going to finally be on streaming services that seems to have just.. not happened. It never materialized so now I'm stuck listening to the 2nd rate but still extremely good Music Sounds Better With You knockoff, Starlight by the worst named band ever The Supermen Lovers. The songs aren't even that similar particularly but that's just my personal feelings.

Girlsrock - Siriusmo: A friend of mine is a sort of expert on the whole Ed Banger mid-late 2000s electro scene and it's extremely good because he'll just send me songs like this every now and then that are totally sick and make it feel like there was somehow thousands of hours of this kind of music produced at that time and only the tip of the iceberg made it to public consumption.

11:17 - Danger: Somehow I didn't even notice that Danger had a new album in January but I'm finally listening now and it's a proper return to form and really, really good. This song sounds like if the haunted VHS tape from the The Ring was taped over an 80s workout video.

Ultrasonic Sound - Hive: I went to a 20th anniversary screening of The Matrix at The Astor and great news: that movie still kicks ass and rocks completely and has possibly gotten better in the two decades since its release. Someone had curated a really good mix that they were playing in the foyer after the movie and this song was in it. A heady mix of drum and bass and nu-metal guitar crunch that feels like a 1999 calendar picked up by a strong wind and slapping you in the face.

Homo Deus VII - Deantoni Parks: STILL loving and finding new things to love about this Deantoni Parks album for the third month in a row. I'm repeating myself but this music is just so good and feels so completely original to me. It's a great mix of complete technical mastery and the self imposed limitations of a restricted sample palette. Forcing himself to do absolutely everything he can with the sound and fairly well exhausting it over the course of 9 minutes.

Catacomb Kids - Aesop Rock: There's a good line to trace between this and Acid King by Malibu Ken where Aesop Rock's been thinking about Ricky Kasso for like ten years now which is interesting. There's lots of just very nice sounding lines in this like "Crispy the godsender who thunk over a quarter plunk to local Mortal Kom vendor". Just good weird word combos painting a very impressionistic picture of growing up. "deplanting cadavers" "zoo-keeper facelift". Very nice.

Mask Off - Future: I've never listened to Future much which is weird because he's very good but this is a song that just comes into my head pretty often. Metro Boomin's brain is huge and the vibe he created on this is just amazing. Wringing this sort of atmosphere out of the sample without sacrificing any of the trap beat at the center of it is such an achievement.

Old Town Road (Remix) - Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus: Everything that could ever be said about Old Town Road has probably already been written by now but my favourite part is finding out that the sample is from Ghosts by Nine Inch Nails which means it's also Trent Reznor's first writing credit on a #1 song. Absolutely praying for Trent and Atticus to join Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus on stage at the Grammys to perform this.

Claudia Lewis - M83: Every so often I remember just how good Hurry Up We're Dreaming is and listen to it on repeat for a while. It's absolutely amazing. Start to finish (except for Raconte-Moi Une Historie which SUCKS) it's just fantastic. I looked up why this song is called Claudia Lewis and it turns out that has an extremely good answer "I was surfing the web & found this website with space poems – Claudia Lewis had 3-4 space poems on this site. They were pretty bad space poems but I found it super moving, there was something very innocent about it. She’s probably super young like 12 or 14 but I don’t know her or how she looks or anything about her. I just know that she writes cheesy space poems."

OK Pal - M83: Every single musical element of this song is just perfect. I love the huge broad chords, the synth bends, the massive drums, the inverted Dead Flag Blues monologue. It's just beautiful.Little Secrets - Passion Pit: Passion Pit is currently on a 10th anniversary tour for Manners and I feel age 100 which is no good. But this song is good and it contains in my opinion one of the all time greatest drum fills after the first chorus. Huge, super air-drummable, and very functional: perfect.

Blood - City Calm Down: I think "I'm the one who wants your blood" is just such a great an evocative refrain and I wish he said it one million times more in this song.

Television - City Calm Down: Absolutely love the idea of writing a song about how bloody TV is the bloody opiate of the masses that sounds like a Clash cover in 2019 and sounding so deliberately out of the zeitgeist and doing it so well and with such conviction that it’s absolutely great.

I Am The Resurrection - The Stone Roses: We went to Andrew McLelland's Finishing School and he played this as his last song in honour of Easter Sunday and described it as the greatest piece of acoustic dance music he's ever heard which is honestly not a bad description - it's an absolute jam.

Daisy - Pond: It's very cool that there's like an evil, mirror version of Tame Impala that exists in Pond. I think every band should have that.

Crying Lighting - Arctic Monkeys: Basically the reason this song is on this list is because I got stuck in a loop of saying "your pastimes, consisted of the strange and twisted and deranged and I hate that little game you had called "crying lightning" in a Werner Herzog voice to myself and I thought it was funny.

Keeping Time - Angie McMahon: Angie McMahon is so damn good at songs and I cannot believe it! She's only got like 5 and they're all incredible. She’s gonna be huge!

The House That Heaven Built - Japandroids: Sterogum had a really good writeup the other day about Post-Nothing turning 10 years old that turned into a wrap up of why Japandroids are such a good band and why Celebration Rock is a perfect album and it really crystallized a lot of my feelings about them. They're number one on my list of Bands That Make You Want To Start A Band for a good reason and this article really nails the whole young men figuring it all out feeling of Japandroids' music. I really think both Japandroids albums should be called Youth And Young Manhood but Kings Of Leon already took that name. I remember when my friend first turned me on to Post-Nothing he said he didn't want to tell anyone else except me because it was so good and it was Best Friends Music and I really believe that. It’s best friends music through and through. When I saw them a couple of years ago it was as part of a sort of impromptu road trip with my best friend and I think that was the best context I could have given it. It's absolutely one of the best shows I've been to in my life and also Osher Gunsberg was in the crowd behind me but that's not part of the story. https://www.stereogum.com/2041439/japandroids-post-nothing-turns-10/franchises/the-anniversary/

Motor Runnin - Pist Idiots: The pub rock revival just keeps getting better and better. At the minute it's basically just Bad//Dreems, West Thebarton and these guys but I'm sure there's a million other bands bubbling under that are just about to break as well. I love this song, it's just straight up old fashioned pissed off rock and roll that somehow doesn't feel old fashioned at all.

Chains - As Cities Burn: As Cities Burn have reunited and have a new album coming out and I'm extremely wary of it because they're potentially ruining their previously discussed perfect streak. This is the first single and it's.. good I guess. It's kind of just normal and sort of outdated, a little bit of a step backward into safety for a band that was always changing and moving forward. I think I have a worm living in my brain though because I keep listening to it just because I really love the drum sound. They're very nicely mixed. Some very nice sounding drums.

Whacko Jacko Steals The Elephant Man's Bones - The Fall Of Troy: I was talking with some friends about young musicians because of Billie Eilish, and so we were talking about how Alanis Morrisette won a grammy when she was 21 and Taylor Swift won a grammy when she was 20 and Lorde made Royals when she was 17 and all that but what people don't realise is Thomas Erak wrote Doppelganger when he was 20 and it was his second album. He's 34 now and his music sucks badly. That's insane. What will happen to me when I'm 34? Chilling to think about.

A New Uniform / Patagonia - Tera Melos: I think Patagonian Rats is still my favourite Tera Melos album. Toss up between that and Untitled actually. But I love this one for how cohesive it feels. For a band whose whole ethos is chaos it's amazing how well it all comes together as a complete work tied up with a bow by the Skin Surf reprise near the end. I love this song because it's two sketches of songs tied together into one little chaotic lump and the big Primary! Secondary! finale is just so satisfying.

Talking Heads - Black Midi: Black Midi finally have actually proper recorded songs on spotify! The way Black Midi is getting talked about at the moment really feels like the days of blog buzz are back, it's crazy. If you haven't seen it yet here's the KEXP session that's rightfully getting them so much attention https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMn1UuEIVvA I've watched it so many times and it's really something. The best part is the comments are full of music dudes just naming every band ever. "this sounds like if slint, polvo and hella did crack and had a gangbang" yuck "imagine them opening for Swans and/or Daughters" yuck "they're like if Minute Men and Frank Zappa had a baby and that baby dated the child of Talking Heads and Can but then got dumped for their best friend who was adopted and raised by their single parent Voivod but they were cool and stayed friends and listened to Tortoise and Thelonious Monk and got stoned and started a band and conquered the world." yuck "Slint meets Sonic youth meets Pere Ubu meets drive like jehu meets Beefheart...these guys took all that is deranged and twisted in rock and made one big soup of it!" yuck. Anyway the point is they rock completely and here's my addition to the band names: the way he sings sounds like Sting lol.

Walking On The Moon - The Police: This song makes you dumb I think. It's like the dumbest song in the world and listening to it makes your brain mushier, which makes you dumb and stupid. It's very good.

Rubber Bullies - Tropical Fuck Storm: I saw Tropical Fuck Storm opening for Kurt Vile the other day and it was absolutely incredible. My first time seeing them properly, not counting the live soundtrack they did for No Country For Old Men which was was a whole different kind of amazing. It feels like Gaz has finally put together a band that can keep up with is ferocious energy and the result is scary - they basically tore the place apart which makes them a funny opener for Kurt Vile who was as chilled out, relaxed and fun as you'd expect. They played this song near the end of their set and somehow I hadn't really noticed it when I listened to the album but now I can't stop listening to it. It's so good. I love the increasing paranoia of the backing vocals, especially in the last verse as it builds and builds.

Taman Shud - The Drones: This might be the best Drones song. It's a list that's constantly being revised in my head but it's top 5 definitely. It's nice listening to Feeling Kinda Free now knowing what he was going to do with Tropical Fuck Storm because it's all here. Fighting against the constraints of his regular sound and regular songwriting and eventually finding the solution in forming a whole new band. I love this song for a million reasons but the escalation of the disregard is very good. “I don't care about Andrew Bolt or Ned Kelly or the southern cross or the union jack” and you're nodding and then he says ‘I don't really care if you're a pedophile’ and you're nodding but slower. I get what he means in terms of media hype and whatever but it's still a very funny line. Anyway "why'd I give a rats about your tribal tats? You came here on a boat you fucking cunt" is grade A.

Dawn Patrol - Megadeth: The best thing about Megadeth is the sort of half baked politics. Dave Mustaine is the best kind of moron, he engages with everything at a gut level but believes he's being very cerebral about it at the same time. This little intro song about a nuclear post-apocalypse is so good because it's a legitimate warning and a response to legitimate worries but it's also like.. wouldn't that be sick if we had to wear gas masks and carry assault rifles around because all the nukes exploded and everyone was dead. What if there was zombies.

Rust In Peace... Polaris - Megadeth: The story behind Holy Wars... The Punishment Due is so good. "Mustaine has said that at a show in Antrim, Northern Ireland, he discovered bootlegged Megadeth T-shirts were on sale. He was dissuaded from taking action to have them removed on the basis that they were part of fund raising activities for "The Cause", explained as something to bring equality to Catholics and Protestants in the region. Liking how "The Cause" sounded as was explained to him, Mustaine dedicated a performance of "Anarchy In The UK" to it, causing the audience to riot. The band were forced to travel in a bulletproof bus after the show" I just love him. I'd like to share a Dave Mustain quotes about this song also. "I was driving home from Lake Elsanon. I was tailgating somebody, racing down the freeway, and I saw this bumper sticker on their car and it said, you know, this tongue in cheek stuff like, ‘One nuclear bomb could ruin your whole day,’ and then I looked on the other side and it said, ‘May all your nuclear weapons rust in peace,’ and I’m going, ‘'Rust in Peace.’ Damn, that’s a good title.‘ And I’m thinking like, 'What do they mean, rust in peace?’ I could just see it now – all these warheads sitting there, stockpiled somewhere like seal beach, you know, all covered with rust and stuff with kids out there spray-painting the stuff, you know." Goes ahead and writes a kick ass song from the perspective of a nuclear warhead containing the line "rotten egg air of death wrestles your nostrils".

Planet B - King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard: King Gizz are Megadeth now and I love it! The cold war is global warming now and we desperately need new thrash metal about it to save us!

Primodial Wound - Inter Arma: If you can't tell by me including three of their songs on this playlist I'm still having an absolute time with Inter Arma. Something I really love about this band is their ability to sit in a vibe for so long and expand on it. They're not songs with narrative arcs and multiple contrasting sections, they're songs that just kind of dig deeper on themselves. This one starts deep and then by thinning out entirely at around 6 minutes in only gets darker.

Howling Lands - Inter Arma: This song made me dream of a Dark Souls game where Inter Arma does the soundtrack. It's a peabrained thought but it's one that really got me thinking. This is boss music of the highest order: a song seemingly about itself and the hellbound denizens cursed to perform it in the arena of hell.

Sulphur English - Inter Arma: It's extremely funny to listen to this song a bunch of times and be completely blown away by the total power and ethereal majesty of it and then look up the lyrics to find out that it's about Trump in that very good way of putting normal thoughts through a metal lyrics filter "The charlatan sets his eyes towards the throne / tongue adrip in revolting ecstasy" "Sever the corrupt tongue of the imperious fool / silence the gangrenous root of his abhorrent voice"

Peepin' Tom - Courtney Barnett: When I saw Kurt Vile he brought out Courtney Barnett to play Over Everything as an encore and it was so good to see just how much a hometown crowd loves her. Everyone lost their shit! We love our good friend Courtney! I think I've written about this before but Peeping Tom is one of my favourite Kurt Vile songs and I think Courtney's version is even better. Her voice is perfect for it and she really has to show off her range to do it which I love. The super deep 'peeping' to the high cascading 'tom' is a perfect musical moment to me.

In Too Deep

Chapter 4:

Mafia! AU

Warnings: cursing

Word Count: 2.7k

A/N: WOOOO BOY. This school year as not been kind! I’m sorry for such sporadic updating, I hope and pray to get on a more regular schedule. Fell free to leave comments and asks ~Admin OG <3

Next ->

From the conversation you had with RM, you have concluded three things.

1. Your parents weren’t who they said they were.

2. They’re also dead.

3. You aren’t going back to your former life anytime soon.

4. You have a massive headache.

You were wondering why they didn’t contact you when they left. Guess the whole being dead thing will do it. Your parents weren’t a large part of your life as much as you hate to admit it. You felt as though you weren’t sad enough. However, after all the lies and secrets that they withheld from you for “your safety” came to light, you realized you didn’t know your parents at all. Is that mean? But apparently, they trust RM with your life. If you weren’t so exhausted, you would have pressed him for more answers. Sleep sounded like a more desirable state.

You drift off to sleep and when you wake, he wasn’t there. Not really a shocker. You’re quite boring when you’re asleep. The bed next to you was currently empty and an eerie silence filled the air. Then it strikes you.

You really need to use the restroom.

Your legs weren’t in too much pain, so you yank back the blanket and set your bandaged feet on the reflective tile. That was a lie, you were just telling yourself it didn’t hurt. You pull the IV out of your hand, as one does, before beginning to walk. Blood bubbles in the crook of your arm. Your legs were unsteady but you could hold yourself up with the aid of the wall under your palm. Your small feet pad along the perimeter of the clinic until your hand reaches the doorknob.

You were wearing an unfamiliar t-shirt but the same sweat shorts that you left the dorm with. You wonder how long it’s been since you left the dorm. You poke your head out of the door to find someone who knew where the hell the bathroom would be. A tall figure slumped onto the couch in the same living room you saw down the hall last time you were here. His head leans back and faces the ceiling.

“RM?” You hold the door frame with your feet turned inwards as you inch your way into the hallway. His head pokes up.

“Wah, You’re not supposed to be walking around,” he scrambles off the couch and starts towards you. “Jin! She’s up now!” he calls out over his shoulder.

“Where’s the bathroom?” he stops midway and sighs. “What?” you say defensively.

“Second door right of the clinic,” he pinches the bridge of his nose and turns back around. You smirk at his reaction.

As soon as you open the door to exit the bathroom, Jin blocks your way out with a glare. “You’re supposed to be in bed,” You sigh loudly, making it known that you were annoyed.

“Sorry but I’d rather not piss myself just because I have a couple bruises,” you state bluntly.

“And did you rip out your IV?!” he pulls you by the wrist to take a better look at your exit wound. His eyes bore into yours before he falters his gaze and huffs. “Let’s get you back to bed,” he supports you as you walk to the infirmary. The harsh white lighting greets you once again. Despite this only being the second time you woke up in here, you were already tired of it. So sterile and cold. You missed the homey feel of the crowded dorm room you shared with Jennie.

“Since I’m here might as well check the swelling and bruising,” You hold your torso up with your hand pressed to the bed. He bends your knee and lifts your leg from the mattress. You watch him as he gently unwraps the gauze and reveals red and purple skin covering from your knee down. “The swelling around your ankles seemed to have gone down,”

You hum in response, but your thoughts were elsewhere. RM said earlier that now you are on the underground radar as a person of interest. If anyone finds who your parents are, you’ll become a target. So it’s in your best interest to stick close to people you can trust. Or at least your late parents could trust.

They always went on ‘business trips’ and left unannounced. They’d skip town for upwards of a year and then one day greet you when you came home from school. You didn’t even know they died until this morning. It wasn’t the best family situation but it wasn’t the worst. You learned how to be independent pretty quickly. “Hey, are you listening?” a voice brings you out of thought.

“Hm?” you ask.

“I said if you need to move around, you’ll need to do so on crutches,”

You flop your head backward and sigh. “Oh don’t give me that. Your three-week recovery will only be longer if you don’t use them,” he shoots back.

“Jin Hyung,” V walks through the open doorway and rests his arm on Jin’s shoulder.

“What do you need. I’m trying to bandage her up again?” He grabs a roll of bandage and began wrapping it tightly around your ankle.

“Namjoon hyung got dinner,” Jin hums in response.

“I’ll be there in a second,” he looks up from his work and at you. “Want anything?” you shake your head, rejecting his offer. You wanted to be alone so you could think. “Fair enough, I’ll be in the kitchen if you need anything,” he secures the bandage and follows V out of the cold room, closing the door on his way out.

You pull your sore legs to your chest and rest your chin on your knees. Would it be worth it to try to run away? They are a form of protection and with your recent abduction, it seems like you need it. You weren’t sure how large the gang that kidnapped you was. But the fact that they found you in your safe place, on campus, makes your stomach feel sick. You know what those people will do to you if they caught you again. Then again, RM and his gang could be after the fortune your parents have accumulated. They probably have it stored in some off shore account.

Your head keeps spinning with thoughts until it finally shuts down and leaves you staring at the wall with a blank stare. You zone out somewhere between the spectral plane and reality, quite a popular tourist attraction.

~~~~~~~~

A gentle knock disturbed your peaceful disassociating. When the door opens in reveals Jungkook with a Styrofoam takeout box. “Figured you’d be hungry,” he sets the box in your lap. Inside was barbecued meat, kimchi, and japchae with chopsticks wrapped in paper. Your mouth twists up into a small smile at the delightful sight and smell. You pull your legs in and pat the bed right in front of you.

He simpers before taking a seat cross-legged on the bed as you urged. The two of you don’t talk much at first. You quietly enjoy the company as to munch on dinner or lunch, you weren’t sure what time of day it was. Jungkook can’t seem to take his eyes off the kimchi residing in your meal and you can’t help but smirk. “You keep staring at the kimchi like it’s going to run away,”

His thoughts are broken up by your sudden remark. You pick up a wad with your chopsticks and hold it out. “Take some, I won’t be able to eat all of it,” almost immediately he bites into it and drags it off the chopsticks. He covers his mouth with his hand as his eyes turn to crescents in delight. You snicker at his animated reaction.

“You can have the rest of it. I get sick if I eat too much kimchi,” you offer.

“Thank you~” he says. mouth still full. He runs out of the open door momentarily.

You overhear him talking to someone. “She’s letting me have her kimchi!” he exclaims to whomever. When he comes back, he is clicking a pair of chopsticks together. He hops back on the bed and crosses his legs. He looks hungrily at your plate.

“Pork belly is off limits though. I can eat it all day,” you warn before taking another bite. You hear someone else pad into the doorway and skid into the room.

“I heard there was extra kimchi!” V scrambles over in his socks.

“Ah- mine,” Jungkook duels V’s chopsticks away with his. V wines in disappointment and continues to dodge Jungkook in attempt to get some of the red gold.

“Share,” you rebuke. V looks down at Jungkook with a victorious smirk.

“See even (y/n) said to,” he turns to you. Jungkook grumbles but ultimately follows the order. “Thank you Jungkookie,” V smiles innocently. You contently eat your food with Jungkook sitting on your bed and V in a chair beside it.

You all eat relatively quietly a few words being exchanged every once in awhile. School comes us somehow and Jungkook asks you about the grade you got on the chemistry test. “I got a 96, what about you?”

He looked down with a pout, “A 70,” V smirks and leans forward in his chair.

“Looks like our college boy has some catching up to do.” he wiggles his eyebrows.

He scoffs in response and stuffs more food in his mouth. “Not like I need to for computer science,” V covers his mouth and snickers. “By the way, what’s your major?” he asks.

“Chemical engineering”

Their eyes widen, “That must mean you’re smart right?” V asks. You shrug.

“Maybe, I always thought I was just slightly above average,” you offer in return. You had this habit of brushing off any positive remarks.

“Speaking of college, what am I gonna do about it now that I’m here?”

“RM hyung’ll probably move you out of the dorms. You’ll still go to classes but you’ll live here,” V reasons. That’s not too bad you think to yourself. But you’ll have to say goodbye to your room mate. Your heart skips a beat when you remember a key detail about your life.

You shove the takeout box out of your lap and scramble for your phone that was charging on top of the counter of medical supplies on the right wall. “Crap! I haven’t texted my boss for two days!” You lunge for your phone and scramble back before your legs can even think about giving out on you. You begin typing a long-winded apology text.

“Where do you work?” Jungkook inquires, setting the takeout box back on your lap.

“At The Rusty Nail,”

“Really? That’s quite the hole in the wall bar,” V pipes up. Jungkook’s lips formed a line, clearly not pleased by whatever you just said.

“I’m just glad that my boss loves me. He’s the big brother I never had,”

“Shownu?” You nod in response to Jungkook. “The right hand man to one of the most ruthless mob boss in Korea?” His voice was harsh. V looked at him in alarm.

“No way,” You drop your phone on the bed.

“You can’t go back there. At least for now. The X’s are allies but who knows what they’ll do when they find out you’re on the radar.” You shake your head.

“There’s no way. Even if there was, he would have no way to find out unless one of us told him,” you reason. You’ve been working there for almost five months now. You look to Jungkook to see if there is any shred of doubt in his eyes. There wasn’t, of course.

“Trust me. You don’t know him like we do. He treated you like he does now because he just thinks you’re not tied to anything related to the underground. And if it is the job you’re worried about, RM owns a few bars that you can work at that are much closer to our offices and base,” You prop your head up with your fist and looked blankly at the takeout tray.

~~~~~~~~~~

In the following days, RM submitted your withdraw from student housing. He refused to let you do anything physical so you had to hand your key over to Jungkook so he could pack up your things and move them over to their base which is further out of Seoul from where you originally were. You told Jennie that your parents wanted you to move in with your uncle who lives in Seoul.

Surprisingly the place you have been cooped up in was not where they lived. Rm said that despite running a mob, they are still businessmen. He said that the ‘professional’ front was handled in the offices, while more personal matters were handled at their home. For instance, Jin runs a clinic in the office building, which is where you have stayed.

After Jin deemed you well enough to move around more freely after a daily checkup, you are led to a sleek black car and ushered inside. Jin follows closely behind in an identical car. You were left in the presence of the silent chauffeur.

The lavish mansion sat outside of Seoul in a grove of trees. Your eyes sparkle with curiosity as you exit from the back seat. Carved Roman columns line guard the grand entrance that stood atop a flight of marble steps. The pristine black and white exterior gave the home an aura of harshness and prestige.

At the top of the steps where you stood, you looked up at the massive door. It reminded you of something you’d see right before you entered a boss fight in a video game. From behind, Jin reaches past you and pushes the door open.

The interior begins with a marble foyer and a chandelier hangs overhead. However, the deeper into the new home you go, the more lived in it feels. It still holds that sophisticated feel but you no longer feel the need to watch every step you take in fear of breaking something.

The living room floor is covered in a gray shag rug and populated with darker gray couches that looked like they could swallow you whole when you sat down.”Your stuff should be in your room if I’m not mistaken. Third floor, fourth room on the right,” Jin breaks your thoughts.

You nod slowly, taking in everything you could as you ascend the black marble stairs. Very minimalist, very chic. You follow Jin’s words and walk silently to the fourth room on the right, at the very end of the hall.

What greeted you inside was a room fit for royalty. Your jaw drops as you flit over to the giant bed. Dark red velvet tops equally red silk sheets on a canopy bed. Cherry wood furniture was so dark it could be mistaken as black decorates the room.

And just as Jin had said, your suitcases sat in the center of the room. You unpack your minimal amount of personal items and clothes. You keep yourself occupied well into the night judging by the light diminishing from your tall window. You do finish up some homework and organize your things until you got bored. Glancing at the clock on the wall, it was around eleven at night.

You decide that a shower sounded good so you gather your necessities and open the door to the en suite. The monochromatic color trend continued with the white counters, shower, and tub. As you look around, you failed to realize until now that there was a second sink and a door on the other side of the bathroom. So who’re you sharing it with? You shrug it off and set your things on the counter before making sure the other door is locked.

When you shower, the delicate floral scent of soap fills the room. On the other side of the locked door, Yoongi lounges on his bed with his headphones on and phone in his lap. He catches a whiff on the foreign smell, breaking his concentration he held on the repetitive bass booming in his ears. He takes off his headphones and goes to investigate the source.

He follows it to the bathroom. He tries the handle, but it is locked. When he presses his ear to the door, the hears running water and finally connects the dots. That girl’s room must be next to mine, he thinks. Namjoon didn’t tell him much except for the fact that her parents entrusted her to them, and she’s going to be staying here for awhile at least. How long awhile was beat him. He didn’t have a problem with her as long as she knows her place and stays out of the way.

But he had a feeling that wasn’t going to be the case.
