yangyang is a regular at the cade, but the first time you meat him, you accidentally mess up his order. yangyang is too flustered to form words whenever he looks at you, so he doesn’t say anything about your mistake. but when you remember his incorrect drink every time he comes into the cafe, he can’t help but speak up.

“And you’re a little dangerous,” you say. His eyes follow as you walk towards him, plucking the cigarette from his hand and placing it between puckered lips. When you pull back, exhaling a thin stream of smoke, the paper is stained a shiny pink from your lip gloss. “Mama warned me about guys like you, you know.”

“She said you’ll break my heart.”

[karatficrecs]

~ Tuesday Blues Fic Recs ~

hi guys! a lot happened last week and this week, so if you want to have a good cry or be taken to another world just for a bit, you can read these :)) 💕💓 (if u don’t cry from reading one of these,, ur strong 🥴)

🚨 please make sure to read the warning carefully! 🚨

hostage by @jaeminhours - [wc: 7.6k] gang!au, highschool!au, angst, jaemin x reader + jeno x reader (warnings: mentions of drugs, violence, character death)

You fall in love with a boy you shouldn’t.

notes: this is my favourite fic from @jaeminhours! it makes me cry no matter how many times i read it. the writing completely immerses you in the story...one of my fav authors :))

timeless by @jaeminhours - [wc: 6.1k] about time!au, angst, renjun x reader (warnings: mentions of death)

You know the exact hour, minute, and second every person you meet is going to die, including yourself, and that’s the way it’s always been. In which you meet a boy who changes everything, but your time is running out.

notes: another fic by @jaeminhours,, i repeatedly read this because of the interesting au and it also makes me cry a lot. :’)

in loving memory by (you guessed it!) @jaeminhours - [wc: 9.1k] cellist!jeno, friends to lovers au, pure angst, jeno x reader (warnings: character death, cursing (a lot), mentions of sickness (cancer), mentions of death, etc)

Dying isn’t something that’s supposed to happen to kids. It happens to grandparents, and people who smoke cigarettes outside the supermarket, who are dying anyway, who have used up all the time they’ve got. It doesn’t happen to boys like Lee Jeno, your best friend, who makes music and smiles like he’s holding the sun on the tip of his tongue. It doesn’t happen to Jeno, until it does.

notes: at this point, you should just read all of @jaeminhours’ works... they’re such a talented writer 😩

charmolypi - (n.) a mixed feeling of happiness while being sad; “joy-making sorrow”

notes: @neostruck is also an amazing writer,, but this one really hit me hard and i find myself re-reading it a lot.

all i need by @t-aeycng - [51 parts] fluff, angst, jaemin x reader (warnings: cursing)

ever since your boyfriend cheated on you, you’ve been determined to help others heal from broken hearts. you create the dnyl club, but what happens when you develop feelings for someone? and even worse, what happens when your ex comes back for you?

notes: the storyline of this fic had so many plot twists that made my heart ache and my brain confused!! talented storyteller alert 🚨

liar, mark lee by @yukheistics - [wc: 2.5k] slight fluff, angst, mark lee x reader (warnings: implications of lying + cheating)

he knows how to lie. he knows how it works. he knows you.

notes: i just read this the other day and HAD to put it in here,, it’s short but makes ur heart ache every time :”)

180 days by @kkuljaehyun - [wc: 5.36k] angst, jaemin x reader (warnings: a lil bit of unprotected sex (please always wear a condom!), slight violence at one point, men being gross)

unbeknownst to you, na jaemin asks you out as a bet and makes you fall in love with him. how long can he keep the act up? what happens when things finally fall apart?

Y/n, under the nickname “Violet”, is the youngest, fastest and unbeatable racer in the illegal car races that go every Friday and Saturday nights in the downtown Seoul streets. No one knows her real identity; the heir of Kim enterprises, a very normal looking collage student. Liu Yangyang, the new exchange student from Germany, attends her competitions without missing one since he arrived. Until one day, he challenges her for a race.

8 letters by @xiaodejunletsact - [18.2k words] highschool!au, baseball player!jisung, a lot of angst and fluff. childhood friends to enemies to friends to lovers

4 years ago, you and jisung’s long term friendship came to an abrupt end. now in senior year, the two of you find yourselves being forced together again by your mothers. suddenly, jisung begins to ask himself what is more important: his reputation or you.; if all it is is 8 letters, why is it so hard to say?

notes: the writing is so good it makes me cry 😩 😭 i love to re-read this!!

-completely unrelated- i recommend reading girls of the wilds on webtoon/mangarock written by hun and illustrated by zhena,, it has amazing action scenes, humor, and awesome artwork :))

“Wild's High School, an all girls educational institute specializing in MMA, has a very special freshman enrolling this year. Jaegu, who fears women from being abandoned by his mother, is about to find out what girls are really all about in this action-packed school drama.”

please enjoy reading these recommendations, and have a great long weekend/labor day! until next time :))
