My favorite anime men cheering you up after a breakup
Gojo Satoru wouldn’t let you sulk for long. The moment he hears you’re heartbroken, he appears out of nowhere, sunglasses perched on his nose, dragging you off on an extravagant day of fun.
Expensive sweets? Check. Random, ridiculous shopping spree? Check. A last-minute private jet trip to a scenic location? Also check.
"Come on, are you really gonna let someone who doesn’t appreciate you ruin that pretty face of yours? Let’s go, I booked us a trip to Okinawa. Oh? You didn’t pack? No worries, I’ll just buy you a new wardrobe there!"
He keeps the mood light, never letting you linger on your pain, until eventually, laughing at his antics feels easier than crying over your ex.
If Sukuna had his way, your ex wouldn’t exist anymore. The moment you tell him what happened, he smirks, crimson eyes glinting with something predatory.
"Hah? Some pathetic worm dared to make you cry? You should’ve let me handle it. I'd have torn them apart limb by limb."
But since you’re not into murder, he settles for pulling you into his lap, demanding you let him shower you in arrogant affection. He reminds you that he’s a king, and if you’re his, that makes you royalty.
"Anyone who can’t see your worth is beneath you. And if you’re still upset, I can at least offer you a more… enjoyable distraction."
Rengoku Kyojuro is all about reassurance and unwavering support. He finds you crying and immediately pulls you into the warmest hug, his voice strong but gentle.
"It is painful now, but your heart is strong! It will heal, and you will rise from this even brighter than before!"
He cooks you a hearty meal, insists on sparring (physical activity always helps clear the mind!), and takes you to watch the sunrise. He reminds you that just like the sun always rises, so will you.
Sanemi Shinazugawa isn’t the most emotionally soft guy, but his anger on your behalf is intense. The moment you tell him what happened, he scoffs, arms crossed.
"Tch. Crying over some loser? Please. You deserve someone a hundred times better."
At first, he tries to “toughen you up” by dragging you to train with him, but when he catches you wiping away tears in between punches, he sighs and pulls you into a rough but comforting hug.
"Alright, alright, let it out. But I swear, if you ever let some idiot make you feel this way again, I’ll personally beat some sense into you."
Son Hak handles your heartbreak with a mix of humor and quiet protection. He listens to you vent, then dramatically gasps.
"Wait, you mean to tell me they actually thought they were good enough for you? Ha! That’s cute."
He spends the rest of the day distracting you, making you laugh with playful teasing and exaggerated stories. But beneath the humor, he’s always there - watching, making sure you don’t feel alone. At some point, his voice softens.
"You’re stronger than this. And I’ll be here, whether you need to laugh, cry, or beat me up in training."
Guren Ichinose isn’t great with emotions, but he tries. He finds you curled up in your room and sighs, sitting beside you with a bottle of sake.
"This sucks. I get it. But you’re not weak, and you’re definitely not alone."
He doesn’t push you to talk but lets you lean on him, offering quiet companionship. If you cry, he hands you his sleeve without a word. When you’re ready, he smirks.
"Come on. Let’s get back at them by making you look so good they’ll regret everything."
Shigure Sohma treats your heartbreak like a dramatic novel, gasping as if he’s heard the most scandalous plot twist.
"Ah, a tragic love story! But fear not, dear one, for the heroine shall rise stronger than ever!"
He pulls you into one of his schemes - perhaps writing an overly dramatic breakup letter or enacting a "revenge plan" that’s more about making you laugh than actually hurting your ex. But in between the dramatics, he’s gentle, offering quiet wisdom.
"Pain is temporary, but your happiness? That’s something we can rebuild together."

i find comfort in you
genre: fluff, comfort
pairing: idol!woonhak x non-idol gn!reader
warnings: nothing but woonhak is playing ow.
word count: 0.6k words
maia’s note: little drabble bcuz it’s woonhak day!! he’s 18 now.. he’s growing up so fast :(( i love unak so much and i hope he has a great day filled w/ lots of love!! also this work is NOT very good and isn’t really proofread but it is cute. enjoy reading!! reblogs and likes are always appreciated 🩶
Tumblr media
after a long and exhausting day, this is just what you needed.
there you laid in woonhaks embrace, watching him struggle in his current game of overwatch. “aghh!!” he frustratedly groaned at the screen. him and his team had just lost the objective.
you giggled, observing his reactions. his lips were sealed in a pout and his eyebrows were furrowed together.
“what? is my frustration funny?” he said, keeping his eyes locked on the television.
you smiled, still looking at him, “yes, very.”
he let out a scoff and you ruffled his hair. the whole week you two hadn’t been able to spend time together. he is, of course, an idol preparing for his next comeback, and you’re a student, a hardworking one at that.
you both found passion for your respective careers, that being what bonded you together. but sometimes, this passion can be too strong. and more often than usual, you both become extremely burnt out.
woonhak’s game finishes with a loss and he falls back into the couch, you still in his arms with your head resting on his shoulder.
he isn’t his normal self. usually, when he loses, he’s more dramatic about it and performs some act like falling to his knees or reaching out to the tv screen, but he doesn’t do that. seeing this, you definitely know it’s because he’s too tired.
you hum, “that was a good game.”
he sighs, “it wasn’t. i’m so out of it.”
he looks at you and your faces are just inches away. looking at him like this; you see the dark circles under his eyes and the droopy corners of his mouth.
“woonhak..” you pause until he gives you a look that signals you to continue. “you can talk to me about anything okay? your worries are mine, and even if you don’t want that, it’s uncontrollable.”
“but i don’t want to be a burden to you.”
you give him a reassuring smile, “you could never be a burden to me.” you take his hand and carve little hearts on it. “let’s make a promise. whenever one of us is feeling exhausted or upset, let’s tell each other. we can be each other’s escape, hm?”
he nods, “okay.” woonhak sticks out his pinky finger and you entangle yours into his, locking your promise.
after this he pulls you closer to him, into a full hug. he snuggles his face into the side of your neck and mumbles something. you pull away and look at him with confusion. “what is it?” you ask.
woonhak responds, intertwining both your hands together, “nothing much. i just find comfort in your presence; you in general.”
your face warms up and you smile, but it turns more into a grin.
his cheeks flush, “hey! why are you laughing?”
you shake your head. “you just,” struggling to get the words out from your laughter, “you’re too cute hak!”
woonhak wasn’t a big fan of being called cute, but when you say it, it’s the best compliment he’s ever gotten—especially with that nickname.
“hey.. you can’t just say things like that.” he says, turning his head the other way so you couldn’t see the huge smile on his face.
you notice this and turn your head in that direction so you can see him face to face, leading you both to start bursting with laughter.
“you can’t say anything! i saw you cheesin’!” you say in between laughs.
“no..” he replies, trying to stifle the laughter.
days and weeks go by as woonhak does his idol duties and you go through the school cycle. but throughout those times, you stand by each others side; holding the others hand through it all.

Hello, can you please make sfw alphabet for Hak from Akatsuki no Yona? Thank you in advance!
Akatsuki no Yona ~SFW alphabet~
Manga/anime: Akatsuki no Yona
Warnings: nothing
Tumblr media
A = Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)
If you two are in public, he's basically not affectionate at all: the most affection you get from him is an arm around your waist. If you're alone, instead, he becomes much more affectionate: hugs, cuddles, sweet words... His main way of showing affection is physical gestures, and his favorite physical gesture is hugging you.
B = Best friend (What would they be like as a best friend? How would the friendship start?)
Probably, your friendship would have started through Yona, who had introduced you to him; that's why I think at first he's considered you a bit annoying like her. However, he soon changed his mind, and so you two became best friends. As your best friend, he would be very provocative (really, he would always make fun of you, especially if you did something that had embarrassed you), but also extremely protective and sweet if he knew something bad had happened to you.
C = Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?)
He really likes to cuddle you, that's his way of making you feel close to him; you two don't have much time for cuddles anyhow: in fact, those only happen for a few minutes and not even every day. Typically, you two cuddle while lying down, and he's almost always the big spoon, as he wraps his arms around your waist and his legs are intertwined with yours.
D = Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking and cleaning?)
I think he wants to settle down one day, but only after helping Yona to create a prosperous kingdom for you two (and maybe also for your children!) to live in. He's definitely capable of providing for you two: he knows how to cook, find supplies (hunting and fishing), he would even be able to build a small wooden house... However, I don't know how good he can be at cleaning (we also have to remember the period in which the manga/anime is set and Hak's social class)!
E = Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?)
Quick and frank. If he were to break up with you, he wouldn't mince words, but he would be very clear in letting you know he no longer loves you; in addition, his tone would be very moderate and he would apologize to you for the pain he's causing you.
F = Fiance(e) (How do they feel about commitment? How quick would they want to get married?)
I think he plans to marry his partner if he's committed to a relationship, so he gives you all the time, love and affection he can. And, speaking of marriage, he would like to get married to you soon since he realized you're the one, but he first wants to help Yona to revive the kingdom; in fact, after having done that, he'll immediately propose to you.
G = Gentle (How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?)
Despite the many battles he fought, the many chaos and blood he saw, he's very gentle: his touches are delicate and soothing and he's never rough with you, both physically and psychologically. Furthermore, he always tries to moderate his words when he's with you for fear of hurting you emotionally, and he reassures you whenever you feel sad.
H = Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are their hugs like?)
Hugs are his way of both showing affection and feeling like you're safe and sound in his arms, so he loves hugging you. His hugs feel like he's protecting you from all harm: they're tight, but also soft and sweet, and make you feel like you're wrapped in a blanket. He hugs you every time you or he feels the need, which happens very often, at least on his part: are you going to sleep? Hug. Are you feeling sad about something? Hug. You risked your life, but did you save yourself at the last minute? Funny of you not to assume he'll hold you for at least five minutes.
I = I love you (How fast do they say the L-word?)
He takes forever to tell you he loves you! First he wants to make sure he truly loves you, since he doesn't want to delude you, and you love him back too: indeed, he won't say it until you do first... Furthermore, his confession will be short, but still very sweet, and in private (even if Yona and the Dragons may be behind trees and bushes spying).
J = Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What do they do when they're jealous?)
He doesn't get too much jealous, since he knows you're more than capable of fending off any unwanted suitors. Furthermore, he put a lot of trust into you. Despite that, though, he isn't above the occasional side eye, or the arm around your waist and the harsh tone if someone is getting a little too buddy buddy.
K = Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?)
In public, he almost never kisses you and, if he does it, his kiss is so light on your lips and quick sometimes you might not even notice it. In private, his kisses are slightly more feral, but on only one occasion they're truly passionate, that's if you're in a situation where you risked dying: the anxiety of having almost lost you is reflected in the kisses, which is like it's the end of the world.
L = Little ones (How are they around children?)
He's well liked by the children he grew up with and considered a big brother to many, so I can assume he's pretty good with them. However, in my opinion he prefers to be with slightly older children, like four or five years old and up, so he can do many more activities with them, such as simply teaching them to fight.
M = Morning (How are mornings spent with them?)
Mornings spent with him are pretty rare: most of the time you two don't really get to sleep in or even spend mornings together, after all you're very busy saving the kingdom and not getting captured by the guards. If it happens you two have the morning free, he'll make the most of it: he'll stay in bed (or rather, in the subspecies of sleeping bag you create with your cloaks) for a while to hug you, and then you'll spend the whole morning together, walking through the woods and looking for twigs to light the fire or berries for breakfast.
N = Night (How are nights spent with them?)
Nights with him alone are also almost impossible as either you keep moving, or you camp, but you've guard shifts, or stop at an inn to rest but you all stay in a group. If the first possibility happens, you walk together, talking about various topics and holding your hands; if the second happens, you take your guard shift together and cuddle; if the third happens, you sleep close.
O = Open (When would they start revealing things about themselves? Do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?)
I think his openness about his past with you depends on what he tells you: he told you quite early on about his childhood with his grandfather and friends from the Wind Tribe, but he'll take a really long time to tell you about his relationship with Yona and Soo-Won, because he wants to wait to understand if you're the one he wants to spend the rest of his days with. Once he understands that, he'll gladly tell you about his past in full.
P = Patience (How easily angered are they?)
He's one of the most patient people: it really takes a lot to make him angry and, if that happens, you don't notice it, because the most he does is tighten his tone and speak a little more sarcastically than usual. The main ways to make him angry are to insult or hurt you or Yona.
Q = Quizzes (How much would they remember about you? Do they remember every little detail you mention in passing, or do they kind of forget everything?)
He's the king of remembering details you mention in passing: you may have told him just once and even in passing you like a certain thing, and years later he'll bring it up in a conversation ("Oh, by the way, do you know I saw bouquets of white camellias while I was walking in Awa? I got you one, since you told me you like them so much." "Did I tell you?" "Two and a half years ago, when your father gave you them for your birthday.").
R = Remember (What is their favorite moment in your relationship?)
His favorite memory is when you two had laid under the stars and talked about the future and living your life in the future; hearing you so passionate and optimistic, hearing your desires to live the rest of your life, get married and start a family with him gave him hope things would be okay.
S = Security (How protective are they? How would they protect you? How would they like to be protected?)
Despite knowing and trusting you can defend yourself, he's still super protective of you, one of the few people he cares about in the world, and he would give everything to see you safe and protected: it's like having a bodyguard as a boyfriend. Literally. As for keeping him protected, I think the best way to do that is to remind him not to overdo himself, since he has the bad habit of overstepping his boundaries to protect both Yona and you (and the other Dragons and Yoon too).
T = Try (How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?)
On the outside, his dates are very simple (they generally consist of you two either walking together through the forests where you camp or taking turns on guard shift together), but he puts so much effort into so may aspects of those anything bigger would lose the personal touch they've; his gifts also appear very simple, but in reality they've great sentimental value, for instance a bouquet of the same flowers he gave you on the day of your meeting.
U = Ugly (What would be some bad habits of theirs?)
His main bad habits are two: the first is his tendency to overwork himself without saying anything to anyone, and that makes you worry a lot; the second is being very attached and protective towards Yona, almost as much as he's towards you (of course, you know he loves you, but sometimes you've doubts...). With time, though, he grows out of the situations and realizes it isn't selfish to want the best for himself, and he also understands he must make you more aware you're the one he loves.
V = Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks?)
I would like to write he doesn't care at all, but I think that's not true: he's concerned with his appearance, not that much, but enough to make himself decently presentable. He doesn't do it out of vanity, though, but just because he wants to be on your level (he always thinks you're truly beautiful, even in the morning with messy hair or with dark circles under your eyes after sleepless nights).
W = Whole (Would they feel incomplete without you?)
It depends: he feels he needs his space, so he wouldn't feel incomplete without you if you two are apart for a short time; nevertheless, if he has to spend a long time without you, he misses you so much and is likely to desperately seek your presence.
X = Xtra (A random headcanon for them)
I'm pretty sure he taught you some self-defense moves: as much as he doesn't want you to go to the front lines to fight, he wishes you to know how to defend yourself at least a little, also because he knows there might be moments when he can't protect you. If one day you knock someone out with one of the moves he taught you, he'll look at you with a proud and smug face.
Y = Yuck (What are some things they wouldn't like, either in general or in a partner?)
If there's one trait he doesn't want in his partner, it's malice: he would never forgive you if you treated others badly or did some evil action. Regarding other physical or character traits, he doesn't have great demands, although perhaps he wouldn't love a too weak partner, since he wants you to be at least a little able to protect yourself.
Z = Zzz (What is a sleep habits of theirs?)
As I wrote previously, you can't sleep for a long time but, for what little you can, he prefers doing it with you. Generally, he sleeps on his side while one arm wraps around your waist to keep you close to him and the other acts as a pillow; instead, your legs are intertwined.

YOTD x Yona’s Younger Sister!Reader Part 1 Hak + Yona + Yoon + Zeno + Kija
Tw: Mentions of Blood/Violence towards big bad guys in Hak's section.
Tumblr media
Yona
Back at the castle before the Kings death Yona wouldn't talk to you. To be fair you’d never approach her since you'd also had your own schedule.
This made you two pretty distant regardless of your close blood relations
Though it all changed after the death of the king.
Absolute princess treatment by the one and only princess!
She’s extremely protective of you, always holding your hand no matter where you went.
Being the last of her close family she fears losing you.
The time you were poisoned and fell into a coma she was besides the entire time holding your hand, almost breaking into tears.
Would absolutely want to teach you self defense, and would even beg Haks to help teach you.
Yona would try to remain tough in-front of you, but you always saw through her act, giving her a big comforting hug. She absolutely adored you for that, and begun being more honest with her feelings to you.
Though you two looked similar she’d always compliment and touch your hair,
“Wahh, it’s so silky and smooth!”.
In conclusion! Yona would be the best big sister ever 🫂
Tumblr media
Hak
At the palace you two only knew each other by name,
Only running into each other when Hak would be assigned to your section of the palace.
The day that the King died when Hak and Yona were escaping they found you peaking out of your room.
He was quick on herding you and your sister into a protected blob,
And at that moment he made a promise to not only protect Yona but you as well.
Though after finding the dragons and going through adventures together he’d frequently tease you.
Regardless of his harsh teasing, he still cared, and protected you.
“Hey shrimp! Be careful!”
In his eyes you were like a puppy. Walking around smiling while unknowingly falling into danger.
It gave him a lot of stress.
He’d always keep you in the corner of his eye, appearing out of no where whenever you need him.
You’d trip on a rock falling towards your impending doom when out of no where Hak would hoist you back up on to your feet
“Tsk, you weren't listen huh, I said be careful!”
Whenever you'd go missing or get injured he’d take it personally, and throw a tantrum
As in get his hands dirtied with the blood of those who did you wrong..
Though Hak would never admit it, he’d actually developed a big soft spot for you in his heart.
So pretty much a mean but secretly soft older brother🤼‍♀️
Tumblr media
Yoon
Honestly the first time he saw you he was a bit upset.
Not only did he have to deal with one spoiled princess but two! Oh.. the tragedy for this sassy pretty boy :((
But the closer he got to Yona the closer he got to you.
Actually Yoon would start playing favorites-
Whenever he cooked a meal and you’d ask him for more he’d immediately give in, and huff almost as if you had forced him to. (which you didn't, you asked nicely)
“F-fine! Take it!” He’d puff
Like the mom he was he would scold you whenever you’d leave the camp alone searching for firewood.
Though every time you showed him of how capable you were he'd ignore the evidence and pull up with the "BUT WHAT IF?" counter claim. Stubborn man doesn't stop INSISTING for you to take a battle buddy
The day you joined the pirate crew and had to prove your worth by climbing the cliff with Yona he had nearly collapsed
He was absolutely opposed to putting his sweet summer child into danger, immediately throwing a fuss when the idea was proposed
Whenever he saw you break out into a fever he’d worry THE MOST
After treatment he’d sit and watch over you a long side Yona.
And whenever you needed him he’d always be there, no matter how far or impossible, this man absolutely adored you.
Though his too much of a sas to admit it he really cares for you, and his heart melts whenever your around. ❤️
Tumblr media
Kija
Was honestly confused by your existence LOL, he wasn’t sure if he was suppose to serve you..? or be indifferent..? I mean you had red hair but uh???
In the end though he didn’t settle for any of those options… he settled on having a crush LOL
Whenever you spoke to him he’d completely meltdown into a puddle, his words becoming intangible.
“Y-y-YEs! H—ow.. uh uh- C-can I he-elp!” He’d stutter out turning bright red,
“Uh.. Kija you ok?” You’d tilt your head in confusion before Kija would only squeak in response, and bolt away.
In the end though Kija had decided to protect you, and respect you.
Whenever the situation would turn dangerous a switch would flip and he’d suddenly have the courage to be near you.
Though if he saw even just a drop of your blood he’d immediately panic and rush towards you, tears prickling in his eyes
You’d have to hug and comfort him before he’d stop panicking and crying-
Please be nice to him! He doesn’t know how to approach his crush but his trying his very best LOL-
Tumblr media
Zeno
The first time he had a proper conversation with you he was completely struck through the heart.
*grabs* your my friend now!
And from that point onwards whenever you’d approach Zeno his eyes would shine even brighter and his cheeks would turn flush 😊
Also he'd become more petty, and sarcastic to others when the subject became you.
"Hey! Whacha up to." He'd beam
The boy would never leave you alone, following you around with a big smile
"Zeno do you need something?"
"Nope!"
You kinda just let him do his thing, silently following you as you worked on making a fire.
Zeno always tried making attempts at small talk.
He really just wanted your attention, as well as to hear your voice
His clingy needs probably stems from his past. He didn't want to waste a single moment without being near you.
"Nope! Sorry, I want them to do it!"
The most frustrating and stubborn man, would always want YOU to do things for him, otherwise he'd all together refuse what's given to him.
You had your sweet moments though, he'd take the time to make flower crowns, and give you cute little homemade gifts.
And you had to admit, the boy had the prettiest, and brightest smile, so it was always a blessing for you to see him happy.

Akatsuki no Yona Oneshot
Flower Moon
An expansion on the sword training scene/Chapter 47 (Yona/Shin-ah)
My first time posting a fanfic here so pls be merciful to anything that is abnormal or out of place I truly have no idea what I'm doing lol. This idea has lived rent free in my mind for weeks now so I thought I'd write it out. Shin-ah is such an interesting character I was dying to flesh him out more, plus current manga circumstances have me missing my boy. Yes I know Hak and Yona are canon but this pairing will always hold a special place in my heart. I don't own any of these characters. (thank you again @roseodelle for proofreading for me🖤)
TW: blood
WC: 4,371
Tumblr media
Shin-ah didn't quite understand the idea of love. How was he meant to when neither he nor his guardian, Ao, had? His sole point of reference for the outside world was limited to the scene outside the window of his childhood home, where he would often linger for hours. One day, he witnessed longingly as two individuals had their arms firmly intertwined. He, with the naive nature of any child his age, mentioned the encounter to Ao.
"Ao, what are they doing? Are they hurt? Should we go help them?" The young Shin-ah asked. Ao grumbled, tearing his gaze away from the sword he sharpens towards the window. Though Shin-ah's vision was hindered by the mask placed on him since birth, he saw the moment Ao's face dropped. Ao quickly averted his eyes back to his sword.
"They're just hugging." Ao answered bluntly, the sanding of his sword more aggressive than beforehand. Shin-ah was more confused than he was prior to the question. His eyes found their way back to the couple as they tear away from the embrace, observing one place a hand on the other’s cheek.
"What's hugging?" Shin-ah questioned further. Ao, now scrubbing viciously, was silent-something Shin-ah knew meant he had touched a soft spot. He began to consider retracting his concern when Ao spoke:
"It's a thing people sometimes do to show love."
"What's love?" Shin-ah pried further. Ao's answers seemed only to lead to more questions for him. Ao stiffened, his sword slipping off his lap momentarily before he caught it. Though long baby blue hair covered Ao's face, Shin-ah's dragon eyes saw his gritted teeth.
"Something you don't need to worry about.”
"Do you love me?" Shin-ah wanted some sort of reference for the phrase. He knew he cared deeply for Ao, him being the closest to a parent he had ever had. He wondered if that was love. Ao sighed, his sharpening at a normal pace again.
"I guess you could call it that." He stated begrudgingly, his voice half a mutter and half a grunt. Ao finished with his sword and stood up, giving it a few test swings.
"What about the villagers? They hate us, yet you always go out of your way to protect them. Why?"
Ao froze mid overhead slash, his golden eyes wide. He reeled his sword back towards himself, then locked eyes with Shin-ah. His face was tight, temples throbbing intensely.
"I can't hate them-so I'll protect them. That's how I'll show them." Ao announced as he sheathed his sword. His large hand scratched the back of his neck, releasing a deep sigh. "You sure are chatty today, kid. No more questions."
Show them what? Shin-ah wanted to ask, but knew pushing his luck any more would further upset Ao, and he hated when Ao got mad. Ao waltzed to the door, readying himself for their regular bandit hunts. Shin-ah's mouth opened, fear of being left behind overtaking, when Ao lowered a hand towards the ground and outspread it towards him. Shin-ah grinned from ear to ear, rushing into a sprint towards Ao's side, placing his small hand in his guardian's.
🌑🌒🌓🌔🌕🌖🌗🌘🌑
Shin-ah physically shook his head in an attempt to purge the memory from his thoughts. Ao was always a bittersweet part of his mind, and it frustrated him how little he could remember of his face-a reminder of how long he had been on his own since Ao had left him.
But he wasn't alone anymore, he reminded himself. A girl who, with an aura more radiant than the sun itself, had rescued him from his eternal darkness. He even had brothers now, too. It had taken more getting used to than he had expected, and even now he found himself wandering far from the group out of sheer habit. He wasn't used to the constant company; Kija and Zeno especially tended to exhibit a particular need for closeness he simply wasn't accustomed to.
“Hak, you idiot.” He would recognize that voice in total darkness-even if he were completely deaf, the warmth of her presence reached him long before she herself did. Yona appeared from behind a tree then kicked the rock closest to her feet, crossing her arms in an extravagant huff. She blew a tuft of crimson hair from her eyes, and in doing so, spotted Shin-ah. Her lips curved into a devious smirk.
Shin-ah gulped, his eyes darting around the surrounding area. His beloved squirrel, Ao (though not fitting for a female squirrel, was named after the only name he ever knew) was chewing on his furry headpiece. Yona approached him with a plan clearly on the forefront of her mind.
“Yes, I want you to teach me swordsmanship. You are a swordsman, right?” Yona asked, her hands kneading into her skirt as she gripped it tightly. Swordsman? He thought, but he supposed it was the proper term for him. Ao had never really given him a special title for it. “Shin-ah, who did you learn swordsmanship from?”
There was a sharp jolt in his stomach, as if he had just leapt from a high ledge. “Ao,” he whispered. Though the name often fell on his lips for his beloved squirrel, it had been many, many years since it was spoken in reference to his guardian.
“...eh?” Yona gasped, eyes wide and bewildered. Realizing the confusion he had caused, he shook his head.
“Someone…by my side, a long time ago.” He confirmed to hopefully resolve any confusion, his eyes trailing off in thoughts of his guardian for a moment. He clenched his fist. “And then fighting in actual battles. Bandits and wild beasts, mostly.”
“That's amazing! I figured as much. I bet those villagers are regretting not appreciating you now that you're not there to fight their battles.” Yona exclaimed, though her brows seemed to lower slightly at the mention of his former village’s residents. He shrunk his head into his shoulders. He knew that the villagers were unaware to anything he had done for them-Ao had made that very apparent to him early on in his life-but it was the only guide he had been given on how to live through this unfortunate existence. His sole purpose was to survive, protect the village, and assist the rising of the blue dragon once the curse laid its hands on its next victim. Clapping her fists together in front of her in a prayer-like motion, Yona leaned towards him. “Teach me the swordsmanship you cultivated through actual combat, Shin-ah.”
Shin-ah twitched, finding himself at cross roads. He thought of Yona’s protector, Hak, and if he would be upset at him for possibly putting her in harm’s way. The Thunder Beast was adamantly against the idea of Yona wielding a sword, and Shin-ah knew he was not one to be trifled with. However, her glowing green eyes gleamed with uncontainable glee, and though he wore a mask, he could tell she was doing her very best to look into his eyes. How could he refuse her when the name she had given him sounded like sweet songbirds coming from her lips? With a sigh, he took his sword from its sheath and meticulously examined it for any potential scratches, as well as ensureed that the handle's binding was secure enough to stay in place as she held it. He hesitated one more moment before uneasily placing the sword in her delicate hands.
As soon as he let go, the weight of the sword quickly made itself known to her as it plummeted towards the ground. Despite trembling arms, Yona lifted the tip of the sword towards the sky, her eyes meeting his, with the fire he admired so much. He evaluated her stance. He then tilted his head to the side, pondering how to explain once he determined how terrible it was.
“Widen your legs…shoulder width apart. Better stance makes you sturdier.” He meekly suggested, not accustomed to being a teacher. He found it difficult, as much of his own studies had been from observing Ao and practicing on his own. He wasn't quite sure how to translate that knowledge. She did as he asked, then slashed the sword horizontally. The weight unbalanced her for a moment, but then she sliced the air going in the opposite way. She followed it with multiple more swings in an uncoordinated fashion.
Ah, there it is, he thinks, the problem evident. Unsure of how to best word his thoughts, he stepped behind her and wrapped his hands around her wrists. “Your wrists are too tight…loosen them. More fluid movement.” He directed, then showed her a proper crossway slice. He followed it with an upward swing, leading into a sharp thrust. “Move with purpose. Each move should lead into the next.”
“So, it's kinda like dancing!” Yona blurted out, practicing the move set he had just shown her. Shin-ah didn't have much dancing practice-or really, any, for that matter-but if the connection helped her, then that was all that mattered to him. His eyes were drawn to her hands, realizing just how much more battered up they were up close: etched with scars, splinters, and small cuts. His chest tightened. He wished that they would stay soft forever and that she would never experience hardship, but he knew that was not the kind of girl Yona was.
Why was he so fixated on her hands? He asked himself, finding his own face growing hot beneath his mask. He released her wrists and stepped back, tossing the recent thoughts from his mind. He steadied his headpiece and monitored Yona as she tightened her grip on the sword. Her eyes were blazingly focused. After correcting her stance as Shin-ah had shown her, she swung the sword in the fashion previously demonstrated for her.
Shin-ah found himself in a trance, incapable of tearing his gaze away. Her hair tossed across her face as she sliced, with stray pieces clinging to the sweat that lined the edge of her hair, her breaths deep but determined. She released small grunts as she fought to keep a steady grip on the blade that she refused to deem too heavy for herself. She went for the upward slash, her brow furrowed deeply as she thrust herself forward with her blade pointed at Shin-ah. He found his breath had escaped him and his rib cage seemed to squeeze at his chest. Had she paralyzed his heart?
Yona softened as she reeled the sword back. Her face pinched, releasing a faint yelp as she let a hand off the blade. He froze, a pit carving into his stomach as he saw the deep scarlet puddle on her pale hands. She stared indifferently at her now-bloody palm.
“I see, this sword doesn't have a guard.” She quickly disregarded her frown, then moved her hand back to the hilt. “Shin-ah, can you walk me through-”
He promptly robbed her of the blade, clutching the handle fiercely to his body. He'd hurt her. He was the one who caused this. He did precisely what he had always feared he would. He pivoted to bolt-his answer to any problematic situation-when a small hand grabbed his elbow.
“Shin-ah, wait. I'm ok, I promise. It's just a scratch.” Yona tried to reassure him, but Shin-ah still attempted to pull away. As hard as he fought to omit the sight from his all-seeing eyes, he could not rid himself of the crimson that stained her hands. He could not leave her like this. He grit his teeth, tossed his sword aside to the grass, then turned to Yona. He knew Yoon had gone to town to buy supplies so he would have to take care of her himself. He gathered her up, one arm beneath her legs, the other around her shoulders, then scouted for a nearby river. Yona cried out, the whites of her eyes taking over and her cheeks glowing, "Shin-ah, what are yo-”
He unintentionally cut her question short as soon as he leapt towards the body of water he had just discovered. Her small fists clamped tightly onto his overshirt, and he found it difficult to concentrate anywhere other than her face as she peered at the passing scenery of the surrounding woodland. They arrived at the fiercely-flowing river, where he cautiously set her down and guided her hand into the water. With one hand, he carefully cupped water over the cut, wincing as he reviewed the incision without blood once the water ran clear. “I’m sorry…Yona.”
“This isn't your fault. I was the one who was careless. I'm sure next time I'll-” Yona began, but was hastily disrupted by Shin-ah passionately jerking his head back and forth. He refused to allow her to get hurt on his account ever again. The bleeding stopped, yet his index finger continued to trace the lines of her palm. He snaps himself out of it then reaches for the bandages he kept in his pack for his arm wraps out. He timidly grabbed hold of her fingers and began to tenderly wrap the bandages around her palm.
He urges himself to stay centered on the task at hand and not let his thoughts drift back to her features, which he deeply desired to study. His work was abruptly disturbed by sudden heat on his jaw, which he faintly gasped to. He raised his head to see Yona's hand on his chin, accompanied by a smile so dazzling it threatened to overthrow the sun and melt his heart. Her gentle fingertips began to wedge beneath his mask so he swiftly seized her wrist to stop her. His hands grew sweaty and his fingertips twitched. Yona's expression sank.
“It's ok, I just want to be able to look into your eyes when I talk to you. Won't you let me? It's hard to read your face with it covered.” She pleaded, stroking his cheek with her thumb. He pressed his lips together and turned his head away. He detested to risk harming her with this curse he had been forsaken by. “I could never be afraid of you, Shin-ah.”
She gracefully proceeds to inch her fingers further to remove the mask from his face, and he finds himself unable to refuse her. He reluctantly let go of her wrist, illumination blinding him as he emerged from his realm of darkness. He instinctively squeezed his eyes shut, largely out of a deep-seated fear of his paralysis powers and the other being sensitive to the sunshine overhead. Yona's hand slid to his cheekbone and brushed the area around his birthmark. His eyelids fluttered open, taking in every detail around him like a newborn observing the world for the first time; from the leaves swaying in the wind, the waterfall miles away, to the fish swimming against the current. But Yona, the most brilliant light of them all, was the one he always found his way back to.
Her face was so much more breathtaking without hindered vision. He absorbed every minute detail: her freckles, the frizz of her wild hair, the cracks in her lips, her sun-kissed skin along her cheeks, the array of green hues in her captivating eyes.
“You have such beautiful eyes. I wish you weren't so afraid to show them to the world.” Yona said. He is met with the familiar urge to hide himself, although this time, not out of fear, but due to a stranger feeling he couldn't quite verbalize. “I don't see how anyone could see you as cursed.”
“I…” He trailed, unable to find the correct words. After muttering a grunt, he redirected his focus back to tending to her wound. As Yona withdrew her hand, the heat dissipated from his cheek, leaving him colder than he was prior with a shiver crawling up his spine. He finishes wrapping it up, taking special care to ensure it wasn't tight enough as to cause discomfort. It would have to do for now until Yoon could work his magic. Shin-ah knew the basics enough to tend to his own injuries from countless years of skirmishes, but he was hardly a professional. The last thing he wanted was to initiate further damage by addressing her wound incorrectly. His hands linger on her hand a moment longer, finding it difficult to remove.
“See? All better! Thank you, Shin-ah.” Yona sings, admiring his work. She then brings her hands to her lap, gripping the fabric of her dress. “I'm sorry for being so careless, and for upsetting you.”
“Yona, you could never upset me.” Shin-ah rapidly responds, quite offended at the very idea, shaking his head furiously. Yona giggles, a sound that could cure him even on his deathbed. “I want to protect you. I…never want to see you hurt.”
“I'm grateful for you, and the others, for that matter. It means the world to me to have so many who care for me.” She states, but there is an underlying tone to her voice as her eyes seem to drift towards the river longingly. “But I want to protect you all too. I never want to be powerless again.”
Shin-ah sharply inhales at how quickly her mood darkened. He frantically looked around for Ao, who was much more efficient at comforting others than himself, but she was nowhere to be found, so she must have returned to camp on her own. He grits his teeth together, his brain mulling over every possibility, but he drew a blank on what to do. He had never been good at this sort of thing-how could he be when none had ever been expressed to him? His guardian, Ao, was certainly not the affectionate type, and the villagers loathed him so much they would have ignored him to bleed to death and then complain about having to clean up the mess left on the dirt. He dreaded to see Yona so sorrowful; he desired nothing more than to be able to physically combat the darkness that engulfed her and beat it into submission so she would never succumb to despair again. His eyes gleam as an idea rolls into his mind, promting him to grab her unbandaged hand with his own, squeezing it tightly. Yona’s head whips towards him, her mouth hanging open at the sudden touch. She quickly throws on a smile, her thumb rubbing against the outer part of his hand.
“That’s why I need you to teach me the sword! I need to be strong enough to protect you the way you protect me.” Yona exclaimed, her eyes ignited with determination. Shin-ah immediately shakes his head, his dragon eyes able to see the fresh wound even beyond the bandages. He would never allow something like that to happen again. Yona's face scrunches to the side, lips puckered into a pout. Her features soften as she locks eyes with him once more. “Could I at least watch you practice?”
Shin-ah grew still as a statue. His golden eyes widened as he remembered how he spent his entire span of consciousness imitating every move Ao had demonstrated for him, even after his death. He was cast away into memories of his own solitude, his sole solace for the majority of his life being that Ao remained eternally with him due to the techniques bestowed upon him prior to his passing. Before he had time to resist, tears welled up in his eyes against his will. Yona immediately jumped to place a hand on his cheek.
“I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to upset you, we don't have-” She apologized, but was rendered short mid-sentence by Shin-ah, who coated her entire hand with his own and swayed his head faintly. His fingers followed the lines of her bandages.
“No…that's perfect.” He reassures, taking a deep inhale in a futile attempt to withdraw his tears. Yona grinned softly, her thumb collecting the overflow from trickling down his face.
“You’re such a kind soul, Shin-ah. I hope you stay by my side forever.” Yona states. He discovered he was completely unable to move-perhaps she had paralyzed him, just as she had done prior. He curled a fingertip just to prove he still could. What had she done to him, then?
“I'll follow you anywhere, as long as you let me.” Shin-ah vowed breathily, wandering in the lush emerald forest that made a home in her eyes.
Yona grew a toothy smile, her cheeks pink like the petals of a rose against snow. Her eyes lit up suddenly and she scrambled through her pouch. “Oh! I nearly forgot! I have a surprise for you.”
Shin-ah’s head cocked to the side, watching her closely as his hands rested in his lap. She let out a triumphant cry as she extracted a foreign object from her pouch. He heard a familiar faint ring, one that caused his eyes to expand and intercepted his breath.
“I noticed you lost the bells from your mask after we escaped the cave, and I was worried they were something precious to you that you lost because of me. So when I was in town with Yoon the other day and saw this, I knew I had to get it for you.” Yona explained, her hands cupped together as she presented a large golden bell threaded through a blue ribbon. He was too overcome with shock to move, so he silently stared at the bell, mouth hanging open and uncertain how to proceed. Ao's words reverberated in his mind: 'I'll know where you are, even if I can't see you.' Yona took note of his awe and sensitively laid the bell into the exposed palms of his lap. Shin-ah hesitantly drew it closer to his eyes, examining the intricate designs along the surface, slightly flinching at the ring that emitted. “I know it's probably not anything like the ones you had before, but I hope you like it.”
Like it? He scoffed internally, his heart practically bruising his ribs with its attempt to escape from his chest. He struggled to comprehend her thoughtfulness in wanting to replace the bells he had worn for so long. He didn't even imagine that she had noticed his bells were missing. When his original bells had fallen, he felt no need to retrieve them due to having friends who finally saw him. However, hearing the sweet ring once more stirred a tender and tormenting nostalgia he hadn't felt since being liberated from the caves he was bound to. He reluctantly rattled the bell again, the music plucking the strings of his heart into a melody that nearly brought him to tears once more. Don't you dare cry again, he ordered himself. Taking a deep breath, he clutches the bell tightly to his collar bones. “Thank you, Yona.”
He cursed himself for being incapable of verbalizing the depth of his gratitude for this gift. She sprung slightly forward and clapped her hands together, her signature enchanting smile adorning her face. Rising to her feet, she dusted the dirt off her skirt, surveying her surroundings. She then extended her bandaged hand to Shin-ah.
“Now, back to sword practice?” She asked. Despite the injury she sustained, she still approached him with the same amount of enthusiasm that she had begun with. He pulled himself out of his daze caused by the gift, snatching his headpiece to place his mask back on, as it was a force of habit that could not be broken easily. Yona frowned slightly, but knew it could not be helped-it would take time for him to be able to live without it. He reached for her hand, wincing for a moment at the reminder of her wound. He then decided to grab a hold of her wrist as she helped pull him up. She leads the way, but his feet are held down by stones he cannot see. Noticing his arm resistant, she turns around with her eyebrows narrowed. “Are you alright?”
His teeth grinded together, his legs trembling as he grasped the bell tightly. “I just...I...” he croaked, the words clogging his throat. It mustered all his strength to not let it morph into an inaudible blubber. 'I'm sorry...I'm going to leave you all alone.' Ao's final words assaulted his thoughts. Yona tilted her head as she stepped closer to him. He turned away in an attempt to further hide his face. “Please...don't leave me.”
Yona's eyes broadened as she peered lower at their interlaced hands. He whirled to face her, poised to take back what he'd said, fearing he'd said something harmful, when she freed his hand. Before he could react, a sudden flash of red surged toward him with two frail arms enveloping his torso. This was unlike anything he had ever felt before. She buried her head deeper into his chest, stunning him to the point that his arms were rendered useless, dangling midair. He recalled the couple he'd witnessed so long ago, and how he'd dreamed of the day when somebody would finally be willing to stare into his eyes head on without fear. He wondered what Ao would think of the friends he had made. Tears surged out of his eyes yet again and he inclined his head towards the heavens in an attempt to prevent them from flowing down his now raw cheeks. He, with reservations, slowly wrapped his arms around her shoulders and softly squeezed them. He hoped he was doing it correctly. Yona eventually draws back, her eyes reddish and glistening like stars from the sun's beaming light peeking through the overhanging foliage. She embraces his neck delicately with both hands and sniffles. “I'm not going anywhere. Thank you for being by my side, Shin-ah.”
They leave for camp together, Shin-ah never once losing grip of her wrist while his other hand cradled the bell firmly to his chest. He nearly stumbled on several occasions as a result of being so enthralled by her presence. He loved her, he decided. He didn't know much about what the word meant, but he knew he cared for her more than anything in the world; she who rescued him from his relentless world of shadows and gave him a moonlight name that he would treasure for eternity. He wasn't sure how exactly to express this love to her, but he knew he would do whatever it took to protect her and prevent her from wearing that melancholic expression on her face ever again. That's how he would show her.

Make Mate 1, Episode 5: approxiMATEly halfway there
2pm Team B, with two of my picks (Han Yu Seop and Kim Hak Sung) are about to perform “Again and Again.” With the rest of the performances and hopefully some eliminations, we’ll have a lot to cover in this episode, so let’s do this.
Tumblr media
The team introduces themselves to the swooning crowd, and the judges backstage comment on how this group has a really difficult song to do. Onstage, Xiumin tells Leader Han Yu Seop that he heard Yu Seop grew to regret being chosen Leader. That’s a setup for a flashback if I ever heard one. Back in time we go.
We flash back to Team B’s interim rehearsal in front of the judges. They start out well, but during the first chorus, they’re floundering. They forget the steps at one point and have to awkwardly pick up where they remember. They finally just fizzle out and don’t even finish.
The judges criticize the whole group, but Leader Han Yu Seop gets an especially stinging rebuke for poor leadership. All during rehearsals, he and Kim Hak Sung have been the only ones giving it their all. The other three are barely trying.
Han Yu Seop decides to change his leadership style. He takes the three failures (the show actually calls them that) and goes over basic dance skills with them. We are almost halfway through the series, and if these three are having to go back to the drawing board, I don’t know how they’re going to make it to the end. But the rules of the flashback dictate that they must miraculously improve, so miraculously improve they will. (I would love to see a behind-the-scenes documentary showing how the director convinced these three guys to play the role of “failures” for their families and everyone on the internet to see. I would recap the hell out of that show.)
They rehearse again for the judges. They do much better. Still, Leader Han Yu Seop is told he needs to work on his facial expressions. “The song won’t work if you just scowl,” he’s told. Okay, but … that’s kind of his thing. His bad boy image is what makes him stand out. But the judges say they want him to express charm and sexiness. They want to see – I swear this is the translation – “wet sexiness.”
Cut to the group standing in a shower. No, I’m not making this up. After they get wet, they start rehearsing the choreo, right there in the shower. Well, I’m the one who wanted something different from the usual Flashback Formula, so I guess here we are.
Tumblr media
Flashback over. Showtime. This should be interesting.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Wow. Best performance so far. Full-on beast idol performance. Incredible dancing. They should rehearse in the shower more often.
This performance is a perfect example of why I can’t take these flashbacks on any of these shows too seriously. They have to be acting. I do not believe that three of these dancers were completely inept and had a bad attitude on a show that could make their dreams come true, and now a week later, they give a performance worthy of the actual 2pm. They went from stumbling around like they just woke up to absolutely slaying. The shower part was interesting, but this trope is really getting old.
Team B has definitely given the better performance. By a mile. Which means they’ll probably lose.
But no. Team B wins!
My bad boy and my North Korean survivor are on the winning team! I’m so happy! So is Yoon Ho Hyun (one of the alleged failures), who bursts into tears, and our now-sensitive bad boy Han Yu Seop hugs him. Our survivor Kim Hak Sung is also crying, and now I’m a weeping mess. I can only imagine what’s going through his head right now. These shows might drive me crazy sometimes, but this is why I still love watching them.
Tumblr media
Xiumin asks Han Yu Seop to speak on behalf of his group, and he barely gets out two words of gratitude to his teammates before he’s now fighting back tears. I love this team. I’m so glad they won.
2pm Team A takes it well. They are clearly discouraged, but no breakdowns this time. And now I understand one of the rules that was lost in translation earlier – when Team A or B wins, the benefit points go to all the Team As and Bs. So now each side has won benefit points for their overall teams.
Both of our 2pm teams make their way to the green room for the final rankings.
Tumblr media
Now for the final round, and the group is SHINee. Both teams take the stage, and by the tweed suit costumes on Team B, I’m guessing they’re doing “Sherlock.” This battle will be the tiebreaker between Teams A and B. These SHINee teams are ACE teams filled with top vote-getters from previous missions. I expect the best performances yet, after flashbacks showing that such performances will not be possible.
We’re starting with the SHINee A Team. Our group consists of 200-song dancing machine Jung Jae Young, Handsome Dancer (and my pick) Bing Fan, SCUBA diver Seo Yoon Duk, Six Singers descendant Jo Min Jae, Riize shout-out recipient Jeon Joon Pyo, and trainee I have no notes on An Xin. The song will be “Everybody.”
I don’t know that song. I pull up the video on YouTube. This is a full-on techno electronica song. Very different from “Sherlock.” I love how K-pop lets its bands experiment, even on the same EPs. I’ll admit I’m not a huge fan of “Everybody,” but I give a lot of credit to SHINee for going full-throttle on all the songs I’ve heard from them so far. Their songs are not background music. They grab your attention. And the choreo looks seriously challenging. I hope Team A is up for this.
We flash back to the first day of practice. Our boys focus on the robot choreography and have it memorized in just one hour. They are in high spirits when they go before the judges for an interim check. They dance with strong energy and move in perfect sync, but this is a flashback, so the energy falls flat as the dance goes on. They get exhausted by the choreo halfway through the song.
We know the drill. The judges scold them. Team A goes back to rehearsal. They work to make their performance consistently high energy. Flashback over. Showtime.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The energy is insane. It’s non-stop. And somehow, they throw everything they have into the choreo while keeping their singing voices steady and not running out of breath. It’s mind-boggling. My jaw dropped during the dance break. I honestly don’t know how SHINee Team B is going to top this.  The audience is chanting for an encore, which is only the second time I’ve seen this happen on these shows.
Surprisingly, Team B does not look worried. They’re impressed with Team A’s performance, but they are impatient to get out there and show what they can do. Xiumin calls them out to the stage to introduce themselves. Our tweed-clad trainees bow with a flourish and introduce themselves. They are theme song center Jia Hao, most popular Noh Gi Hyun, TikTok dancer Midori, great expression pro Jo Seung Hyun, and two trainees I have no notes on, Lin and Choi Min Joon.
Their song will be “Sherlock,” of course. Even with a song that’s better than Team A’s song, this team still has a long way to go to beat them.
Xiumin sets us up for the flashback by telling us that Leader Jia Hao cried during rehearsal. We cut to the first day of rehearsal, when they choose him as Leader. I’m going to keep this flashback quick and to the point. For some reason, Midori participates in team meetings over video chat. The show doesn’t say why. Jia Hao gets voted Leader, which makes him nervous because he was the Leader of his team in Stage 2, which they lost. This is where he cries. But the rest of the team encourages him. Then we have the usual problems with the dancing and singing, which of course will be resolved by showtime.
Back to the venue. Let’s do this!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
It’s an impressive performance. But the choreo isn’t as exciting as Team A’s, and Noh Gi Hyun’s voice breaks near the end. I know it’s not fair to compare this to the Wild Idol performance, but I can’t help it. The Wild Idol version blows this one right out of the water, and I don’t think it’s enough for them to beat Team A. I will say I liked the dance break a lot. And given how the votes usually go on shows like this, I won’t be surprised if they win.
The audience casts their votes. This should be interesting. Everyone’s acting like Team B’s got this in the bag. I’m honestly not sure. Besides, Team A has one of my picks, Bing Fan, and they had more challenging choreography and made no vocal mistakes.
The winning group is revealed. It’s … Team A. Wow. I’m happy for Team A, but Jia Hao, Leader of Team B, takes it especially hard. This is the second team he has led that has lost. All the Team Bs are devastated. They don’t really know how to lose gracefully, but then, they’re young, and there’s a LOT at stake here.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Both teams move to the green room for their individual rankings.
Tumblr media
Wow. Noh Ki Hyun’s voice broke during the performance, and he’s still the top vote-getter. I have to think that makes Jia Hao feel even worse, even though he made it to the third spot on his team.
Bing Fan has the highest score of all the contestants, and the other SHINee scores are close, so Bing Fan winds up being the deciding factor in Team A’s win. This last-minute addition to my list of favorites comes out the top winner of this entire mission. He has invented Handsome Kicking Butt.
The trainees hug it out backstage. Jia Hao is still inconsolable. The eliminations are coming up soon, but I really don’t think he has anything to worry about. Still, it’s got to be rough to lead two teams and see them both lose.
Wait – we suddenly learn that we’re going to do all the rankings now. We cut to the original stage with the numbers on the floor and the glittery platforms. Xiumin tells us that nobody is being eliminated just yet. Seriously? We’re at the halfway point. Most shows would have cut at least a few trainees by now, but Xiumin tells us they will do eliminations after the next battle.
There are only nine platforms this time, so we’ll be getting a Top 9 instead of a Top 10. Here we go.
Tumblr media
Number 35 is Yoon Ho Hyun. Honestly, I’m not surprised. He’s a visual stunner but a weak link in dancing. He’s dropped 17 spots from Number 18.
Number 34 is Chen Shiau Fu. Wow. He’s dropped from 6th place. So far, these trainees are falling hard.
Number 33 is Choi Han Gyul. Good grief. He’s plummeted from Number 4.
Number 32 is Kai. Our banana milk-loving guy will probably get eliminated. He was at 35 last time and can’t seem to get out of the lower ranks.
Number 31 is Ki Hyung Joon. Our clunky mustard trainee. He was Number 33 last time, and he’ll probably also get eliminated.
Number 30 is Aki. Dropped from Number 27. Not only did his team lose in Stage 3, but he missed part of rehearsals when he had to temporarily leave the country to renew his visa.
Number 29 is Jo Jae Hyun. Dropped from Number 15. That’s almost a clean sweep for 2pm’s Team A. They’re all at the bottom of the rankings, except for their Leader, one of the Kim Seung Ho’s.
Number 28 is Jo Seung Hyun. One of the “Sherlock” team members. Dropped from Number 22.
Number 27 is Lee Do Ha. Oof. He’s dropped from Number 10. Fell right off the platform.
Number 26 is Kim Hak Sung. Oh no. My defector pick. He’s dropped from Number 13. This is surprising. He’s been on the winning team for the past two missions.
Number 25 is Midori. He’s been dropping like a stone this entire show. He went from 8 to 16, and now 35.
Number 24 is Kim Sun Yub. He actually went up 4 spots, which is weird because he hasn’t been doing very well on this show. He actually got in a fight with one of his teammates in Stage 1.
The announcer says that all the candidates ranked so far are in danger of elimination. That includes my escapee pick, Kim Hak Sung.  Now for the middle-tier trainees.
Number 23 is Lee Jang Hee. He’s up from Number 34, but I have almost no notes on him. For Stage 3, he was on the losing team. He just doesn’t stand out.
Number 22 is Choi Min Joon. Up from 30, but another one who isn’t standing out. He was also on a losing team in Stage 3.
Number 21 is Lin. Wow. He dropped all the way from Number 2. The other trainees are stunned.
Number 20 is Seo Yoon Duk. Our SCUBA diver has dropped from Number 8.
Number 19 is Seo Ji Ho. Interesting. He’s stayed at 19 the entire show. The girls love him, but apparently not enough to bring him up in the ranks.
Number 18 is Noh Gi Hyun. Another one who’s been dropping all series. Getting less and less popular.
Number 17 is Jia Hao. Poor kid. Dropped from 5. He’s got talent and star quality and doesn’t deserve to be eliminated, even though he probably feels like he does.
Number 16 is one of the Kim Seung Ho’s. I really feel badly about this. It wasn’t until the second or third episode that I realized there were two of them, and I didn’t know which had done what so far. One of them really should have been given a nickname.
Number 15 is Jeong Hyun Wook. Up from Number 24. All I have on him is that his 2pm team won Stage 3.
Number 14 is An Xin. He’s been up and down the rankings. Started at 6, dropped to 21, rose to 9, and now at 14. He was a team top vote-getter in Stage 1 and was on the winning team in Stage 3. I wouldn’t count him out just yet, even though he’s not really standing out.
Number 13 is Jung Jae Yong. Our 200-song dancing machine is up from 29. Not bad.
Number 12 is Yoon Jae Yong. Dropped from 6 to 12. He’s not standing out either.
Number 11 is Miraku. My ASTRO fan pick is up from 12. He’s had wins and losses all through the show, and I’m really pulling for him.
Number 10 is Jeon Joon Pyo. Just missed standing on one of the platforms. He’s our Riize shout-out trainee and is up from Number 13, so I still have hope for him.
Tumblr media
Now for the platform positions. I still have two favorites left.
Number 9 is Kim Shi On. Our flexible trainee has dropped from Number 3, but he’s still on a glittery platform, stretching his quads.
Number 8 is Han Yu Seop. YES! Our sensitive bad boy has dropped one spot, but with the way he’s improving at every stage, I still believe he will be in the final group.
Number 7 is Jung Hyun Joon. Our lovable show maknae has dropped from the 2nd spot but is still on the platform.
Number 6 is Jo Min Jae. Our Six Singers descendant. He’s moved up and down the top seven for the whole show. I think he’ll be in the final group as well. It’s practically his birthright.
Number 5 is Shin Won Chun. Our Uber Athlete has jumped from Number 17. This was the guy who had to practice smiling naturally.
Number 4 is the other Kim Seung Ho. Seriously, this show really should have given him a nickname. I looked up the name, and “Sung” is another way of spelling it. So they could have had him go by “Sung Ho,” and if he makes it into the final group, he could change the spelling of his name just like all the members of TAN did after Wild Idol. It would have been a simple change.
Number 3 is Takuma. Another wow. He’s jumped from Number 23.
Number 2 is Jang Hyun Joon. Another one who has stayed in the Top 7 for the entire show.
Tumblr media
Number 1 is Bing Fan. My pick has been at Number 1 twice in a row. He’s definitely going to make it to the final group. He thanks everyone and says he will try harder from now on. He does know that #1 is the highest ranking, right? Maybe he’s gunning for Xiumin’s spot as host.
Speaking of Xiumin, he says it’s time for Round 2 of the Mate Group Mission. New teams will be chosen, but Bing Fan is not being put on a team. The A and B teams will be split among odd and even numbers, just like before, but Bing Fan gets to choose which group he wants to join.
Unfortunately, he has to choose right now. I think the show is missing the chance to have some fun. Make both teams beg. Jo Min Jae could offer to introduce him to his famous family members. Han Yu Seop could offer to scare off any enemies by glaring at them. Use some imagination!
Bing Fan chooses to stay in Group A, which isn’t really the loyalty flex he thinks it is, because that team has new members now. Does he know that? He didn’t seem to know he was in the top spot a minute ago. I’m not quite sure what’s going on upstairs with this guy.
We get a preview saying eliminations are coming in the next episode. Good. Eliminations are tough, but we need to move this show along.
For now, I’ve gotta run. ENHYPEN just dropped a new video for their song “Brought the Heat Back,” and it’s so good. I need to watch it about 50 times. See you next episode.

Drama Review: Dali & Gamjatang (2021)
Tumblr media
I watched this drama mainly for Kim Min-Jae but ended up loving the entire series.
This has been on my watch-list since its release but it wasn’t available on Netflix before and I hate watching on VIU because it drains my iPad’s battery (our TV also doesn’t have a VIU feature/app on it). Anyway, you can now watch it on Netflix and enjoy this fun drama-comedy!
Tumblr media
I loved how Dali & Gamjatang was able to balance romance, comedy, and drama. I loved Park Gyu-young’s acting here (her English is also good!) as much as she did in It’s Okay Not To Be Okay and Sweet Home. For someone who’s broke, homeless, and struggling to pay her staff’s salary, Kim Dali’s couldn’t let go her sense of fashion. All of her clothes were pretty. Jin Moo-hak’s style too—despite being thrifty on clothes (and everything else).
Tumblr media
I would also like to note that the OST is beautiful. The songs were perfect and adds a melo effect on heartwarming scenes.
Personal favorites:
The Sweetest Love - Ham Yonji
That’s Ordinary Love - Seoho
U Hoo Hoo - KLANG
Moon Crater - KimYeji
One Day It Will Be - Ian Hug, Seoho
The instrumentals are also cute! Try listening to it too ☺️
Tumblr media
Overall, it’s a good drama you can enjoy. If you need a good laugh and a bit of romance, I recommend this show.
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

this was a lot cuter than I expected! I love how they keep protecting yn! The hugging, words of affirmation. The last line🫠🫠🫠
The hak scene is so good! How he keeps holding yn!!!!
I need to read the other parts, I really loved this concept! I recommend!
Moments to save:
Y/N notices how Eric’s dark blue-gray hair is falling over his eyes and gently pushes it up again. She gives him a smile. 
"Thank you", he says.
That’s cute!
"If you give them something or do something for them, they'll thank you", the man says.
"How polite."
"Yeah, we made them warm for the victims sake", the man says. "They're supposed to comfort victims in any situation and if they don't feel warm and human, it might make the situation worse." The main smirks slightly. "We've made sure their hugs are as comforting and welcoming as possible. We made this survey of what type of hugs are the best and gave them all the most voted ones. Smart, right?"
I want a hug too!
Y/N looks at the row of androids, visibly thinking. She walks over to Jaehyun.
"Do I give him a command or …?" she asks.
"No, he knows that you want a hug, he can scan you. He'll choose what type of hug he'll give you."
The android opens his arms and she walks right into the embrace. He closes his arms around her tightly. Her warmth is flowing from under her white shirt. 
"Well, a loving one is when there's nothing wrong. We call it 'the everyday hug'. Then there's the comforting feeling of a tighter but more sentimental hug for when the victims are crying or scared. And the last one, is the one he's doing right now … weirdly enough."
"The protective hold?"
"Yeah … it only occurs when the victim is in danger … but you're not. The protective embrace is a tight, firm hug that isn't supposed to be easy to get out of. If the victim is in danger, then it shouldn't be easy to get out of." The man looks through his papers. "Weird, we've tested it before with different men, women and children, they haven't given the protective hug to any of them."
Y/N taps the android on his arm. He looks down at her hand. It'd be so easy to break, so important to protect.
"Let me go", she says.
Jaehyun opens his arms and she leaves. The warmth lingers on his hands.
The woman nods. The human male rolls up her sleeve on her left arm and hits her wrist fast and hard with two fingers. A ‘swoosh’ along with a ‘snitch’ echoes throughout the room. She whimpers and backs away. The first one to reach her is Haknyeon, pulling her back from the male in the room as the others form a barricade between her and the man. Haknyeon embraces her in that tight hug again. He hides her face down into his shoulder. 
Changmin turns around and lifts up Y/N’s arm in his hands to examine it. There’s nothing to see, but he can’t help but keep holding her arm.
“Are you okay?” he asks.
“Yes, yes, I’m okay”, she answers. “You can stop now. Everything is okay.”
The eleven androids listen, going back to their positions. All but one. 
“Haknyeon, you can let Y/N go now”, the man says. 
“She’s not safe yet”, Haknyeon answers.
"Yes, you can", Chanhee says, taking a step forward and hugging her in the comforting manner he’s been programmed with. He can feel that it’s not enough. "Look at me."
“Yes, ma'am”, Kevin says. 
None of the androids answer. They're trying to process the newly given information. It doesn't make sense. She created them, she can't leave them now. From the moment they opened their eyes the first time she's been there.
"Will you visit?" Changmin asks. "We'd appreciate it."
"You're our creator", he answers. "We’ll always need to protect you."

the boyz become human
Tumblr media
Part 2
In a collaboration with Cyberlife, you've helped create 11 new androids to be used in the police force, but they seem to have a certain humanly soft spot for their creator.
Genre: yandere, sci-fi, futuristic, Detroit become human AU
Warnings: I'm not sure what to put to be honest, creepy behavior?
A/N: this was originally a chapter story that never got done, this is the first 3 chapters, I might post more chapters but we'll see
"Follow my hand, good job."
The nice lady in front of him holds up her fingers and he follows them with his eyes back and forth. She moves closer, picks up a small flashlight and shines in his eyes. He doesn't move. She smiles proudly and pulls back, looking at the other person in the laboratory. 
"This one has functional eyes", she says.
"Good, which one was that?" the human male says, looking at his clipboard in hand.
"The third one", she says. 
"God, I’ll never know who you mean! You should name them!”
“Me?”
“Yeah? They're your creations."
"Not really, I just planned how they were supposed to look, it was your people that built them.” She looks at the android in front of her. “Nevertheless, they don't need any. They aren't going to be household androids."
"But we have eleven of them, it'd be easier to get their names. I know everyone will mix them up calling them the first, the second and whatever." He points at the android in front of the woman. "Start with him. Was he the third?"
She nods and turns to the android, frowning. "I'll name him Younghoon." 
"Alright, and the others?"
She gives them all a name each, saying that she’s picking the first that comes to mind.
“You haven’t told me what they’ll be used for”, the woman says. “Why have I helped Cyberlife build them? I know that they’re meant for something special since you don’t use the normal models. You’re making brand new ones. If they’re not going to be household androids … then what are they going to do?”  
“They’ll be used by the police. We already have interrogation and detective androids, but these ones are different.” The man breaks out into a smile. “They can fight … they can manipulate … they can seduce, they’re quicker than any other android, they charge quickly, they have scanners to read humans feelings … and they’re perfect with children! They’ll be perfect in the police force. They’ll be amazing!”
The woman in front of Younghoon nods. He follows her motions with his eyes, studying her.
“That does sound amazing”, she says thoughtfully. “It explains a lot about why you needed them to be handsome. You can’t seduce a criminal with ugly androids, can you?”
The man chuckles. “No. You can’t. Thank you for being such a good designer.”
“Thank you for bringing my sketches to life …” She looks at the android sitting in front of her up and down with proud eyes, “... they’re remarkable.”
“We’re so happy you like them. Cyberlife will send you a check.”
“I know. I could use some money. How much for each android?”
“Around $250 000.”
“Oh shit.”
The man laughs again. Y/N lifts her eyebrows amusingly. 
“You don’t even know how much money you’ll get for the job?” he asks. “And still you took it?”
The woman smiles shyly. “Of course, this job would look great on my resume in the future. Who wouldn’t want to work for Cyberlife?”
The man smiles and shakes his head, walking over to the window. 
“Y/N”, the man says. “We should start the next test. It’s getting late and I think you need to go home soon.”
Y/N nods and stands up. 
“What’s the next test?” she asks. 
“Physical test”, the man says, looking through his list. “Strength, speed, reflexes and so on.”
Y/N looks at the androids. 
“Stand up”, she says. 
They all stand up at the same time and wait for their next instruction. They’re different heights with different hair colors and different facial features. But they all wear the same outfit — a gray suit with their serial number, a white shirt and some glowing parts. Y/N notices how Eric’s dark blue-gray hair is falling over his eyes and gently pushes it up again. She gives him a smile. 
"Thank you", he says.
Y/N looks at the man behind her in surprise.
"Who programmed him to say that?" she asks. "I thought they were only programmed to answer when you speak to them?"
"If you give them something or do something for them, they'll thank you", the man says.
"How polite."
She looks at Eric again, placing her hand on his cheek. He can feel her warmth. It’s not artificial, it’s not produced or charged — it’s human.
"It's almost scary how human they feel and look", she says. "If I didn't see the emotion indicator on his temple, I'd think he was a human in an android's suit. His skin is so soft."
"Yeah, we made them warm for the victims sake", the man says. "They're supposed to comfort victims in any situation and if they don't feel warm and human, it might make the situation worse." The main smirks slightly. "We've made sure their hugs are as comforting and welcoming as possible. We made this survey of what type of hugs are the best and gave them all the most voted ones. Smart, right?"
Y/N smiles mischievously. 
"You want to try it out, don't you?" the man asks, raising an eyebrow.
"Maybe", she giggles. "I created them, I should get to test their abilities out."
"Then what are you waiting for? Just choose one."
Y/N looks at the row of androids, visibly thinking. She walks over to Jaehyun.
"Do I give him a command or …?" she asks.
"No, he knows that you want a hug, he can scan you. He'll choose what type of hug he'll give you."
"Right, sorry. They're so advanced I forget everything."
The android opens his arms and she walks right into the embrace. He closes his arms around her tightly. Her warmth is flowing from under her white shirt. 
"They have three different types of embraces", the man says. "Loving, comforting and protecting."
"What's the difference?"
"Well, a loving one is when there's nothing wrong. We call it 'the everyday hug'. Then there's the comforting feeling of a tighter but more sentimental hug for when the victims are crying or scared. And the last one, is the one he's doing right now … weirdly enough."
"The protective hold?"
"Yeah … it only occurs when the victim is in danger … but you're not. The protective embrace is a tight, firm hug that isn't supposed to be easy to get out of. If the victim is in danger, then it shouldn't be easy to get out of." The man looks through his papers. "Weird, we've tested it before with different men, women and children, they haven't given the protective hug to any of them."
Y/N taps the android on his arm. He looks down at her hand. It'd be so easy to break, so important to protect.
"Let me go", she says.
Jaehyun opens his arms and she leaves. The warmth lingers on his hands.
“Let’s start with the real test.”
Kevin follows Y/N with his eyes. She’s walking to the other side of the room to collect something. She picks up a red, little ball in her hand, bouncing it on the hard floor a couple of times. 
“Now throw it”, the man says. “At any of them.”
“What if I hurt them?” she wonders hesitantly. 
“They’re androids, they won’t feel it.”
“Well … what if I break them instead?”
“They’re equipped with quick reflexes, don’t worry.”
Y/N looks at the androids with a concerned gaze in her eyes. They can scan her, see how nervous she feels. It’s almost enough to make them ask how she’s feeling to see if she needs to be protected. She throws the ball at them. Chanhee catches it before it hits any of them. 
“Woah”, she gasps in shock. “Those are really quick reflexes.” 
Chanhee holds out the ball to her. She takes it gently and backs away to throw again. Sangyeon catches it this time and gives it back.
“I’m so scared to damage them”, the woman says, throwing an uncertain gaze in their direction. “They’re so advanced and so many people have been working on them. I’d feel horrible if I broke them.”
“You won’t”, the human male says. “They’re built for that.”
She throws the ball a few more times before moving onto the next test. Strength. The man places out boxing bags with a strength meter. One by one, they’re allowed to punch it, scoring higher than anyone has done before. 
“Shit, one blow to my head and it’ll fall off”, she whispers. “They can seriously hurt someone.”
“They can, but they won’t if it isn’t necessary”, the man says. “They’re more for protecting people than hurting them. Y/N, would you want to be the guinea pig for that?”
“For what?”
“I’ll slap your wrist and we’ll see how they react. If I’m correct, they’ll go into protection mode.”
The woman nods. The human male rolls up her sleeve on her left arm and hits her wrist fast and hard with two fingers. A ‘swoosh’ along with a ‘snitch’ echoes throughout the room. She whimpers and backs away. The first one to reach her is Haknyeon, pulling her back from the male in the room as the others form a barricade between her and the man. Haknyeon embraces her in that tight hug again. He hides her face down into his shoulder. 
“If I were to put up a fight now, they’d attack”, the man says. “But I won’t.”
Changmin turns around and lifts up Y/N’s arm in his hands to examine it. There’s nothing to see, but he can’t help but keep holding her arm.
“Are you okay?” he asks.
“Yes, yes, I’m okay”, she answers. “You can stop now. Everything is okay.”
The eleven androids listen, going back to their positions. All but one. 
“Haknyeon, you can let Y/N go now”, the man says. 
“She’s not safe yet”, Haknyeon answers.
“Yes, I’m safe”, Y/N says, tapping his arm. “You can let me go now.”
“You’re not safe.”
“Is this a malfunction?” 
The man frowns. “I’m not sure. What would you be in danger of?”
“You”, Haknyeon answers. 
“No, he’s not a threat”, Y/N reassures him. “I’m okay, he’s not dangerous, it was all a test. Haknyeon, please, let me go.”
The eleven androids scan her and grow cautious again. She’s afraid. They go into protective mode once more. 
“I don’t think you thought this through”, Y/N whispers, eyes on the male that caused this situation. 
“Guys, it’s okay, it was just a test.” 
She places her hand over Haknyeon’s. He looks down at her hand, feeling the warmth ooze from it. Should he let her go? He can detect her fear, but she promises that she’s alright. This kind of morality isn’t programmed for him. He senses fear, he can’t let her go until she’s not afraid anymore. 
“Well, since this isn’t working …”, she starts mumbling before trying to break free from Haknyeon’s arms. 
He doesn’t budge. Instead, his grip grows tighter. He can’t let her go. She’s in danger, she can’t leave his arms. 
“Fucking dammit!” she mutters, giving up. “What do I do?” 
“I’m not sure”, the man replies, looking through the papers. 
“Maybe you should leave the room? They see you as the threat.”
The man nods and leaves the room. The eleven androids relax. Instead of looking at the guy, they turn towards the woman, having their full attention to her. 
“You’re still scared”, Jacob says. 
“I’m not afraid of the man, he’s not a threat”, she says. 
“Then what are you scared of?” Kevin asks. 
“Well … you … kind of. Just please let me go now. Scan me. I’m not scared anymore.”
She’s right.
“Let her go”, Chanhee says. 
Haknyeon does. She hurries over to the door and lets her colleague in again. 
“I think i should go”, Y/N says, grabbing her beige coat. “I don’t want that to happen again. You should check with the ones programming them. That shouldn’t happen with a real victim.”
“You’ll be here for the presentation, right?” the man asks. “You should be the one introducing them to the police.”
“I think so”, she says. “I’ll go now. Goodnight.”
“Goodnight, Y/N. Get home safely and sleep well.”
She thanks him, wishes him the same and leaves. The androids follow her with their eyes until she’s left the laboratory. The man turns to the androids. 
“Well, I guess that means bedtime for you”, he says, clapping his hands once. “Let’s get you charged and ready for tomorrow.”
The androids sit down on their chairs as the man walks behind them, plugging the cords into the back of their necks. Sunwoo can feel how he gets shut off, eyes falling shut, everything turning black. The last thing he sees is a picture of the woman that created them. 
——♤——
She's nervous. They can tell … both from scanning her and her walking back and forth across the floor. She's wearing a white suit that enhances all of her features. The only thing separating them and the audience is a giant, red curtain. 
"Y/N", Juyeon says. "You're stressed."
"I know", she answers quickly. "I'm about to hold a speech in front of a thousand people! They're Cyberlife workers, cops, journalists … I can't do it."
"Yes, you can", Chanhee says, taking a step forward and hugging her in the comforting manner he’s been programmed with. He can feel that it’s not enough. "Look at me."
And she does. He holds his hands on her upper arms. Everything about her is so human. Everything from how her gaze falters, hands tremble and chest rises and falls. Neither Chanhee or the others do any of that.
"Breathe in and breathe out with me", he says, doing the technique he's programmed with.
She breathes along with him until he can't detect the same level of nervousness anymore. He lets her go.
"Everything we did in the laboratory last week will be presented live on the stage", Y/N says. "You'll have to show them what you showed me and my colleague. But you can do that, I'm sure. You’re programmed to perfection.” She clears her throat. “Do any of you feel that there's something wrong with your programming or if there are any parts that are loose?"
They answer negatively.
"Good", Y/N says, fixing Younghoon’s tie. “You’ll do better than me out there. I’m jealous … you can’t feel nervous.”
“No, we can’t”, Kevin says. 
Y/N fixes her hair, but it gets stuck on one of the buttons in the suit and her shaky fingers can’t untie it. 
“Can you help me?” she asks, looking at Sangyeon. “I can’t turn my head up if I’m stuck on the button.”
He takes a smooth step forward and starts untying her hair from the button. 
“Is that okay?” he asks as the hair is loose. 
“Yes, it’s okay, thank you”, Y/N answers with a smile. “Go back to the line now before the curtain is removed. Perfection, okay?”
“Yes, ma'am”, Kevin says. 
“Don’t move from your positions. Last week shouldn’t be repeated … not here. Whatever your scanners say … I’m alright, okay?”
“Okay”, the eleven men answer. 
The woman fixes their ties, hair and blazers before brushing off her own white clothes. The red curtains pull to the side and she freezes. Sunwoo’s scanner shows that her anxiety is rising. His instinct is to walk over to her and help her, but there’s an invisible wall that prevents him from doing that. An order. Don’t move from your positions. 
“Welcome!” Y/N smiles. “On the behalf of Cyberlife, I am proud to present the coming generations of androids!”
She walks to the side of the stage to show the eleven androids. A wave of applause roars throughout the auditorium. It’s maxed to its capacity. 
Y/N talks on and on about what special features the eleven androids have that separates them from the rest of the androids Cyberlife has produced. Curious and impressed eyes wander over the androids, looking at them up and down. They can detect some lust in the audience, some are doing more than admiring them.
One by one, they show their strength, speed and communication ability. The crowd cheers for them.
"Impressive, aren't they?" Y/N smiles. "They will be working undercover, hence why their faces aren't like the other androids Cyberlife given to the police force. Connor, for an example." Y/N looks at them up and down and all they can detect is sadness although she smiles. "They'll do just fine, I'm sure of it. Thank you for listening. They will be put into work before the month is over."
The crowd applause for the last time before the red curtain separate them again. Y/N breathes out shakily and removes the headset she's been using.
"You can move now", she says.
"Why are you sad?" Jaehyun asks. 
"I'm not sad, I- …" she interrupts herself. "I guess there's no need to lie to you. You can tell. Well, I'm just a little sad because this is probably the last time we'll see each other."
The LED rings on the androids temples flashes yellow. Why aren't they going to meet? What has happened? If she's sad, does that mean something bad will happen?
"Why?" Haknyeon asks.
"My job here is done", Y/N sighs. "You'll be given to the police next week or so … and then your real life starts." 
None of the androids answer. They're trying to process the newly given information. It doesn't make sense. She created them, she can't leave them now. From the moment they opened their eyes the first time she's been there.
"I guess I'm just a little sad my work is over", she says, shrugging. "But it's been nice to meet you. I'm sure you'll do great. I'll cheer you on."
"Will you visit?" Changmin asks. "We'd appreciate it."
"I don't think so. I don't want to grow attached to you. You have work to do and it wouldn't be appropriate. You're androids … you don't have feelings … I'd just hurt myself."
Being androids, they can't understand what she's meaning. Confused, they look at her.
"What do you mean?" Kevin asks. "We can't understand emotions."
"Well … what I mean is that you're programmed to seduce and I made you handsome. Even I would fall for you and that wouldn't be good for anyone. You'd seduce me without thinking and I'd be left hoping for something that'd never be able to happen. And even if that wouldn’t happen … I’d expect too much from you and get hurt."
"We understand", Chanhee says.
Silence. 
"I'll get going now", Y/N says and picks up her bag. "Good luck with everything. Wait,  before I go, can I ask you something, Jaehyun?"
"Of course", he answers.
"When you hugged me, you held the protective hold. My coworker said that none of you had ever done that to any of the participants that tried it out. Why?"
"They weren't in any danger", Jaehyun answers.
"I wasn't either. So why?"
Jaehyun looks into her eyes, scanning her. Confusion. 
"You're our creator", he answers. "We’ll always need to protect you."

Hi, may I request for Hak x Reader please? Reader is the neglected princess and wife of Hak. Since they're travelling he's always with Yona and Yona also doesn't let them be together being so stupid. So they have a big argument also with Yona but the dragons and Yoon also try to stop them but the reader snaps. She announces to divorce him and leave. When they meet again she's with another person happily something like that
You weren't the right one
Manga/anime: Akatsuki no Yona
Warnings: angst, with a bitter-sweet ending
(Y/N): your name
(S/O): significant other (not Hak)
Tumblr media
Is being envious a bad thing? Is it that bad to feel it? Is it so bad that I'm jealous of her? I know, I know I shouldn't be jealous, but I can't help it: Hak, my husband, loves Yona, my sister, and I feel terrible.
To be honest, I've always known this, yet I loved him so much I agreed to marry him when my father proposed it to me.
I still remember what I thought when he proposed marriage to me: maybe you won't be the right one, but I still want to be your wife, Hak.
Finally, I gave in to a selfish desire of mine: I hoped I would be able to make him fall in love with me, but I couldn't.
~ 💙 ~
Why, Hak? Why don't you look at me? Why do you console Yona and not me? The one who was killed was also my father, not just her.
"Hak?"
"Not now (Y/N). Yona-hime (princess Yona) is sleeping."
"Yes..." You shouldn't hug only her.
I'm not saying you shouldn't console her, but at least pretend you care a little about me. At least try to console me: hug me and say sweet words to me, like you did with Yona.
Please...
~ 💙 ~
Since we began our journey to find the Four Dragons, I've been trying to spend some time with Hak, but Yona wouldn't let me: she kept butting in every time we were alone! I sometimes feel like she does it on purpose, but Yona isn't that kind of person, especially after what happened to our father.
I've also noticed Hak is becoming a lot more protective, not only of Yona but of others as well. However, I wish he was so protective of me too, but instead everything remained as before.
However, I'm your wife, Hak! I'm not asking for maximum attention, but I would at least like you to go a little beyond the "good morning" when you wake up and the "good night" before going to sleep (by the way, not even with me). I mean, everyone we meet thinks your wife is Yona and not me! Even the Dragons thought so the first time we met.
Really: you aren't probably the right one...
~ 💙 ~
I can't take it anymore! Every day is harder and harder!
I'm dying of jealousy for Hak and Yona, and I feel terrible. I don't want to be jealous, but I'm not entirely wrong either: nothing has improved since the start of the trip.
Everything is like when we were at the castle...
~ 💙 ~
"Hello, Hak! How are you?"
"Fine." He didn't even look at me.
"Emmm... What are you doing today?" How stupid! I couldn't ask a stupider question: he's obviously looking at my sister!
"I'm looking at Yona-hime. Do you need something?"
"I-I would like to know if you would be willing to come with me to the market one day."
"Sorry, (Y/N)-hime (princess (Y/N)), I can't go out with you: I'm busy taking care of your sister." As always, after all.
Otou-sama (father), why can't I have a bodyguard too? Why does only Yona have it? Why don't you ever consider me?
Why doesn't anyone consider me?
~ 💙 ~
"I'm not clingy or demanding! I just want… I just want to know why it seems like I don't matter to you. I'm your wife!"
Hak and I are arguing. I didn't like feeling these kinds of emotions and I couldn't stand that situation anymore, so I told Hak about it, thinking it might be a good idea. Of course, I didn't expect him to become more affectionate with me, but I hoped he would at least understand me a little and tone down his attention on Yona.
"You are, but you aren't my first priority, and it's time you realized that and stopped getting in my way! I'm tired of you nagging me all the time! Stay away from me for a while and go away!"
What?
What he said?
I? Clingy to him?
"What did you say?"
"You've heard." His voice is chilling; he's really angry.
"Hak, nee-san (big sister), you two should calm down." I can't stand her anymore! Always getting in the way!
"Shut up! I'm really angry with you too!"
"Why? What have I done?" She really is so damn innocent and stupid! She doesn't understand anything!
"Do you even dare ask me? Are you stupid? Since we left, you've been complaining about wanting to get stronger, but what have you actually done? Have you ever managed to do anything? To save someone? Not to be protected? Do you know how much you annoyed me? I'm not like you: I had no one to protect me, even though I was the eldest daughter and heir to the throne. I had to defend myself, I had to learn to fight alone, I always did everything alone! Don't you dare come here, after you keep putting my husband in danger and fluttering your eyelashes at him, even though he's married to your sister!"
It all happens in an instant: a noise, and then a very strong pain in my right cheek.
Huh? What?
"Don't you ever dare talk to Yona-hime like that again!" Hak?
Was it you? Did you hit me on the cheek? Did you hit your wife to protect another woman? How...
"Hak?"
"Don't call me that anymore and don't be with us anymore. Go away."
"W-what?" How could you say that?
Tears stream down my face.
I feel terrible. My head hurts, I can't breathe, I feel dizzy...
I know, or rather I've always known, Hak cares more about Yona than me and he'll always protect her, despite everything.
I always knew, Hak, I always knew you aren't the right one for me...
"All right. If that is what you all want, I'll walk away. Hak, don't think of me as your wife anymore: you and I no longer exist. I hope you and Yona will be happy together. Goodbye."
~ 💙 ~
It's been a while since I've been away from my sister, Hak and the others, and I couldn't feel better: I found a man, (S/O), who really loves me, who I care about a lot. However, the story with Hak is still an open wound in my heart, even if my current boyfriend understands me and he never makes me worry about this; he's just a perfect boy!
Now, (S/O) and I are at the market buying everything we need to make our lunch. I'm at the fruit stand; he moved away from me because he had met one of his friends.
While I'm choosing fruit to buy, a familiar sound reaches my ears: Hak! Although my mind isn't even processing everything that is happening, my body is already reacting to his voice, so I look around almost desperately to find him: I start running in the direction from which I heard his voice, colliding with some people and risking tripping several times, until I reach him.
Here, right in front of me, there's the man I've loved almost my entire life. He's as beautiful as ever: his blue eyes, which I have always loved to look at, shine like the sea, and his smile is as warm as the embrace of a loved one. However, what makes me so sad is the fact his smile isn't directed at me: he's smiling at Yona, looking at her with so much affection, not at me. He didn't even notice me.
I don't need to see anything else. I don't want to see anything else. I turn and leave.
My mind is full of regret, pain and anger towards myself: why doesn't Hak look at me? What does Yona have that I don't? Why didn't the relationship between us work out? Why do I keep thinking about him? Why don't you get out of my head, Hak?
A few "what if" scenarios ran through my thoughts, although I know there's no point in thinking about them: he's probably engaged to her by now; I, on the other hand, am engaged to (S/O).
I shouldn't cry, I shouldn't do this, nevertheless, as I lean against the wall of an inn, my chest aching like never before, I can't stop the tears from flowing.
~ 💙 ~
"My love? Are you okay?"
"(S/O)?" I lift my head from my crouched position, looking at (S/O). He's crouched in front of me, looking at me worriedly.
Without thinking twice, I throw myself into his arms and hold him, crying into his chest. He returns the hug, immediately holding me tightly and cradling me gently against him, saying sweet words.
"What happened?"
"I... met... Hak..." I tell him, my voice breaking with sobs.
"Oh, my love... Shhhhh, don't worry: everything will be fine. Can I do something to make you feel better?"
"Can you keep hugging me a little longer, please?"
"Of course." (S/O), why are you so kind to me? Why are you close to me, even though you know I love you, but I still love Hak?
I feel like a traitor. I love (S/O), but I still love Hak too, and I don't understand if I really love him or if he's just a replacement for me. I can't understand my feelings, and I don't want to make him suffer...
"Why are you close to me?" My sudden question shocks him.
"How 'why'? Are you thinking about the situation with your ex husband?" How did he figure it out?
I nod, so he holds me even more gently and says: "Don't worry, I already told you. I love you so much, and, if you're confused about your feelings, I'll help you as much as I can, okay?" I nod again, hugging him tighter and pushing my head further into his chest.
What things which were so good have I done to deserve such a kind person next to me?
I may be so selfish, but, even if I still don't have my feelings clear, I want to be with (S/O); I want to feel as good as when I'm with him; I want to feel that beautiful feeling I feel when we're together forever.
"Thank you, (S/O). Can I ask you something else?"
"Yes." I gently pull away from our embrace and look into his eyes.
"Can we be together forever?" He looks at me with wide eyes and a blush that quickly colors all his cheeks; then, his eyes soften and a sweet smile spreads across his face.
"Of course we can. Come -(S/O) stands up and he takes my hand and helps me get up- let's go home."
Thank you, Hak. You weren't the right one for me, but thanks to what happened between us I'm happy now.

Hurt my heart and put bandaid on it in the short time of reading🥹🥹 the Christmas feel is so on point, I love the vibe~~~
Moments to save:
"y/n!" you heard someone yell your name, a joyful juhaknyeon running out the doors of the pub with a cigarette settled above his ear like a ballpoint pen. he was wearing the flat cap you'd bought him as a joke last christmas, his pint of guinness spilling from the sides clumsily as he was so excited to see you. "haknyeon!" you exclaimed, running to give him a hug and took in the scent of his familiar cologne, mixed with a strong scent of booze. "I've missed you so much!"
That’s such a cute look!
25TH OF DECEMBER: LAST YEAR christmas day was coming to a close, you still hadn't broke it to him yet, the love of your life, that you were leaving the village in the beginning of january. the boy who's name was juyeon did everything a boyfriend usually would for you, you were in love in such a way that words couldn't describe. he was a bricklayer in the town, living his life humbly hoping to give you the best life he could.
No I’m already sad 😭😭
he sighed, giving you a tight hug, his eyes glancing down to his pockets. little did you know, there was another offer you wouldn't have refused lying in there next to his car keys. a small crushed velvet box with a diamond ring, one he could never gift to you - since you were leaving for good. the crumpled speech he'd revised would later be littered with tear drops, his life crumbling apart.
NOOOOOOO im not okay
"SPEECH. SPEECH. SPEECH." The boys began chanting all of a sudden, taunting Sangyeon who appeared to be a little more tipsy than the rest his ears tinting a light a pink as he took a sip of his lager. "Okay. Okay."
Pfffft the way I can see this lol!
As you began catching up with Younghoon, he seemed to bring up how he'd recently done a job for your parents, reinstalling their bathroom. The sound of their names resurfacing the guilt for leaving them. "You sound like you need to come home." Younghoon stated as he spotted tears welling at your waterline, quickly moving your hand to dab them away.
The other guys are so cute in this too I-
You felt a hand gently touch your leg, containing yourself from jolting backwards in shock, you discreetly looked down to find Juyeon's hand gently caressing your leg - something he used to do a lot to calm you down in public if you felt a bit nervous. "I probably do!" You giggled slightly, a nervous hiccup triggering a laugh of adoration from Juyeon.
Sfxgxjfxjfzfhzfshxfjxjfxfjxjfxjfzfuzu
"Do it. Come home, I need a copywriter for my company." Haknyeon looked across the table genuinely, turning heads with the statement. "Really?" You looked at your phone slightly, (25) missed calls from your boss glowing on the screen since he'd been trying to call you in. "Of course." He laughed jovially in reply, sliding his phone across the pub table to show you the post for a copywriter he'd listed on a job site. "The pay probably isn't as much as you currently make, but it might mean you get to come home and when my company expands I'm sure that will change." You smiled at Haknyeon, considering the post in your head.
Haks so cute in this it actually hurts😭
"It's not that, Juyeon. I got such an amazing opportunity in the city-" You began to argue, thinking of how amazing the job offer was in the city, installed with the false hope of climbing up the ladder and becoming an important figure to a significant company. "But you heart is here. You want home, you know you do. So don't waste that opportunity to be here again. Don't walk out on me again." He begged you, a strand of his jet black hair falling in front of his face, his eyes sparkling down on you with diamonds of hope glistening in his irises. "I love you. I still do." He suddenly came out with the statement, stunning your speech, knowing at heart he wasn't trying to sabotage your career he just wanted your happiness
Crying Straight up classic romantic movie vibes😭
The mistletoe hung above you ironically
YESSSS *smashes like button again*
As you parted, his hand resting against your cheek, you quickly broke and began sprinting towards the cab looking back at him, he stared in shock and defeat as he saw you looking back with watery tears. "I'm going back to get my stuff."
Scared me fr😭
He dashed over to you in the snow, immediately dropping the burning cigarette in his hand to embrace you in the tightest hug he'd ever given you. "Keep the bed warm for me in the morning." You laughed, causing him to smile, a singular tear of vulnerability falling down his cheek as he looked down at you with amounts of love you've never felt before. "I will.
Let’s gooooooo
As the snow fell across the village and street lamps lit up the small high-street stores you grew up around, an onlooker smiled in his flat cap having watched the whole scene with his cigarette and guinness in hand. His plan to bring everything back together had worked and would be reveal it to anyone? Of course not. Haknyeon chuckled, drinking the last of his pint before walking to Juyeon, the two walking the high street home laughing and joking as if everything had never changed.
Hak you little I-

the moors were covered in a glistening blanket of the whitest snow, the sky overcast with a light grey hue whilst the trees lonely and desolate of leaves hung themselves over the landscape perfectly.
you were nervous, a slight shake in your hands as the cars heating blasted warm air into the passenger seat, driving to the cabin bar where your old friends had organised the yearly christmas get together.
you’d moved away to the city after the last christmas, leaving your small countryside village behind - unwilling to settle for a manual labor job and stay in the country forever. you prioritised your ambition and career over a humble life readily paved out for you.
however, admittedly you’d missed the village, the city was nothing in comparison, the sense of community you’d lost, the friends you’d left behind, life wasn’t the same without them.
or should you say… him.
“we’re here, ma’am.” the taxi driver that had drove you all these miles announced, you gave him a smile and your thanks before telling him to have a lovely christmas as he drove off into the distance of the high street, strung with christmas lights and foliage.
the small pub where you’d grew up was bustling with laughter and joy, the faint melody of “fairytale of new york” by the pogues leaking from the wooden doors.
“y/n!” you heard someone yell your name, a joyful juhaknyeon running out the doors of the pub with a cigarette settled above his ear like a ballpoint pen. he was wearing the flat cap you’d bought him as a joke last christmas, his pint of guinness spilling from the sides clumsily as he was so excited to see you.
“haknyeon!” you exclaimed, running to give him a hug and took in the scent of his familiar cologne, mixed with a strong scent of booze. “i’ve missed you so much!”
“you’ve missed us? we thought you’d forgotten all about us!” he laughed jokingly hitting you on the back, as he walked you into the bar where all your other friends were sat around a large booth towards the back.
you’d greeted everyone with a smile, reuniting with kevin and jacob asking you all about your city life and the things you’d gotten up to since you’d left. the bar was full of old regulars, the floors were carpeted in the same shade of red with gold accents highlighting the room.
“yeah, it’s been a pretty busy year for me.” you laughed, unable to focus on the conversation. you looked around the pub, checked the bar, but he was nowhere to be found.
“you’re looking for him, aren’t you?” hyunjae asked, sat next to you with his new wife chatting away to another one of the boys’ girlfriends eagerly.
“yeah.” you sighed, feeling let down that he hadn’t shown up, which considering how you’d left things last year you weren’t surprised.
“don’t get too down about it yet, he’s missed you, i’m sure he’ll make an appearance at some point.” hyunjae smiled with reassurance, taking a short sip of his pint before chipping into the conversation his wife was having.
“how’s the electrics company going?” you asked haknyeon, taking your mind off the entire thing as he smiled and began trailing off about all of his work dramas.
⋆⁺. ︶꒷꒦︶ ︶꒷꒦︶ ︶꒷꒦︶ ₊❅⋆ ⁺₊❆⋆𐙚
it’d been 3 hours of chatting, catching up and laughter, however he still hadn’t shown up. the afternoon was soon turning evening, despite your belief in your ability to conceal your emotions, everyone noticed your solemn undertones - understanding why you weren’t in the greatest mood, considering the events of last christmas.
⋆⁺. ︶꒷꒦︶ ︶꒷꒦︶ ︶꒷꒦︶ ₊❅⋆ ⁺₊❆⋆𐙚
🎄🕰️: 25TH OF DECEMBER: LAST YEAR
christmas day was coming to a close, you still hadn’t broke it to him yet, the love of your life, that you were leaving the village in the beginning of january.
the boy who’s name was juyeon did everything a boyfriend usually would for you, you were in love in such a way that words couldn’t describe. he was a bricklayer in the town, living his life humbly hoping to give you the best life he could.
on the evening of christmas day, you’d been sat watching christmas films with him sat in his arms guiltily revising the city job offer you’d received just 3 days prior.
“y/n?” the boy next to you hummed “i have to tell you something.”
you looked up at his deep brown eyes with guilt, his white sweater complimenting his gold wristwatch and necklace.
“i have to tell you something too.” you replied exhaling a deep breath, his expression looking at you with so much love you’d almost choked on your words.
“you go first.” his hand gently brushing your spine, running up to your shoulder as you gulped nervously.
“i’ve been offered a job in the city.” you concisely formed the sentence, breaking the news off from your guilt heavy conscience.
“what?- you’re leaving?” his expression changed to an unclear frown, his eyes confused and almost hurt with the sudden news. “what about us?”
“i don’t know juyeon, but it’s an offer i can’t refuse.” you tried to explain your decision and at heart he already knew it was the best decision for you.
“it’s okay. just know if you ever want to come back and live here. I’m here for you.” he sighed, giving you a tight hug, his eyes glancing down to his pockets.
little did you know, there was another offer you wouldn’t have refused lying in there next to his car keys. a small crushed velvet box with a diamond ring, one he could never gift to you - since you were leaving for good. the crumpled speech he’d revised would later be littered with tear drops, his life crumbling apart.
🎄🕰️BACK TO PRESENT DAY
⋆⁺. ︶꒷꒦︶ ︶꒷꒦︶ ︶꒷꒦︶ ₊❅⋆ ⁺₊❆⋆𐙚
you got up to go get another drink from the bar, ordering a beverage to settle the nerves that tangled like knots in your stomach. the feeling of emptiness opening like a dark void in your conscience.
the pub doors opened, a familiar tall figure in a black trench coat stepping inside, the scent of a fresh cigarette lingering in the air, immediately turning your head to the scent of old spice and home.
he’d made it, his jet black hair, beautiful brown eyes all stood before you as he wiped his boots on the welcome matt, his jacket catching flakes of fallen snow.
your heart either shattered, or put itself back together - you couldn’t tell which as it was such an unclear feeling of overwhelming nature you’d never felt before.
he locked eyes with you, just for a few seconds as if he considered saying hello or running back out the door. taking hesitant steps towards the bar where you were.
“it’s lovely to see you again.” juyeon smiled slightly, battling internalised emotions he’d tried to avoid. leaning over the bar and avoiding the contact of your eyes which looked up at his face brightly.
“same goes for you. how have you been?” the confidence you’d tried to assert on your voice leaving only above a whisper.
“i can’t say i’ve been great.” he chuckled in an almost bittersweet way, running his fingers through his neatly styled hair with a sigh.
“that’s not good, i’m sure things will be better for you next year, at least i hope.” you tried to think of a kind response, instead probably coming across as the most patronising piece of shit in the process.
“i hope so too.” he smiled, as you collected your drink and turned around to see every single pair of your friends eyes gawking at the situation.
“can you guys make yourselves any more obvious?” you laughed placing your drink on the table in embarrassment and sitting back down next to hyunjae.
juyeon soon came to sit beside you, the group greeting him briefly and apologising for his lateness. he had work that day, you didn’t know how you’d forgotten being so caught up in your selfish little world.
“how is work?” you asked nervously as conversations resumed around you, the tension between the two of you building intensely.
“i got promoted to site manager.” he smiled, as you congratulating him with a laugh knowing how much he’d wanted to get that position.
“how’s the city?” he scratched the back of his neck, a nervous habit of his you’d picked up after years of knowing him.
“to be honest? not great. i miss home, i don't really have anyone there." you took a sip of your drink, eyes remaining on the polished wooden table with regret.
“well like i said you’re always welcome to come back.” he grumbled, looking around to everyone else’s conversations at the table, his eyes wandering to the christmas tree in the corner - coated in a thick gold tinsel with baubles strung messily across the tree.
“SPEECH. SPEECH. SPEECH.” The boys began chanting all of a sudden, taunting Sangyeon who appeared to be a little more tipsy than the rest his ears tinting a light a pink as he took a sip of his lager.
“Okay. Okay.” He calmed down their excitement before standing up in front of the the large table with his drink in hand. “First of all, I’d like to thank you all for coming this year and I think it’s important to address everyone’s hard work this year. I would like to thank Haknyeon for his persistence to plan this, I know we only all see each other driving past on our jobs but it’s refreshing to see you all face to face. Y/n thank you for travelling so far to see us, although things are different since you’ve been here last. It’s lovely to have everyone together. To a good christmas.” He raised his pint in the air as the boys howled in cheer, taking a sip and sitting back down in his place at the table.
“Thanks, Sangyeon. That was great.” You looked at the man across the table with a genuine smile, his gaze glancing between you and Juyeon before he returned the smile with ruddy cheeks.
As you began catching up with Younghoon, he seemed to bring up how he’d recently done a job for your parents, reinstalling their bathroom. The sound of their names resurfacing the guilt for leaving them.
“You sound like you need to come home.” Younghoon stated as he spotted tears welling at your waterline, quickly moving your hand to dab them away. You felt a hand gently touch your leg, containing yourself from jolting backwards in shock, you discreetly looked down to find Juyeon’s hand gently caressing your leg - something he used to do a lot to calm you down in public if you felt a bit nervous.
“I probably do.” You giggled slightly, a nervous hiccup triggering a laugh of adoration from Juyeon.
“Do it. Come home, I need a copywriter for my company.” Haknyeon looked across the table genuinely, turning heads with the statement.
“Really?” You looked at your phone slightly, (25) missed calls from your boss glowing on the screen since he’d been trying to call you in.
“Of course.” He laughed jovially in reply, sliding his phone across the pub table to show you the post for a copywriter he’d listed on a job site. “The pay probably isn’t as much as you currently make, but it might mean you get to come home and when my company expands I’m sure that will change.”
You smiled at Haknyeon, considering the post in your head. Did you really want to come home? Would you be really losing that much money with the prices of living in the city?
“Honestly-” The bell for last drinks at the bar sounded, as the boys cheered it was time for home, the bar soon closing. Everyone got up to leave, saying their goodbyes with hugs and words of sentiment for each other.
“Well, until next year.” Juyeon laughed, bittersweetly walking you out to the the sheltered entrance where the cab that would soon drive you back to city was parked it’s engine growling, it’s lights brightly shining on to the cobbled high streets.
“I don’t think.. I want to leave.” You felt your eyes beginning to water again, the thought of going back to the loneliness of the city taunting you at the back of your mind.
“Then stay. There’s a job here for you-” Juyeon erratically told you, the cigarette he’d freshly lit falling to to his sides with his arms.
“It’s not that, Juyeon. I got such an amazing opportunity in the city-” You began to argue, thinking of how amazing the job offer was in the city, installed with the false hope of climbing up the ladder and becoming an important figure to a significant company.
“But you heart is here. You want home, you know you do. So don’t waste that opportunity to be here again. Don’t walk out on me again.” He begged you, a strand of his jet black hair falling in front of his face, his eyes sparkling down on you with diamonds of hope glistening in his irises.
“I love you. I still do.” He suddenly came out with the statement, stunning your speech, knowing at heart he wasn’t trying to sabotage your career he just wanted your happiness; he wanted you back.
The mistletoe hung above you ironically, snow beginning to fall lightly the temperature dropping, however the feeling of warmth and comfort keeping you cozy in the small entrance way to the pub. Juyeon looked up to observe the plant hanging above you, before leaning in to touch his lips to yours, sealing a kiss that asserted so much passion almost his final beg to get you back.
As you parted, his hand resting against your cheek, you quickly broke and began sprinting towards the cab looking back at him, he stared in shock and defeat as he saw you looking back with watery tears.
“I’m going back to get my stuff.” You yelled to him, ready to return to the city and bring your things back to the place you belonged. He dashed over to you in the snow, immediately dropping the burning cigarette in his hand to embrace you in the tightest hug he’d ever given you.
“Keep the bed warm for me in the morning.” You laughed, causing him to smile, a singular tear of vulnerability falling down his cheek as he looked down at you with amounts of love you’ve never felt before.
“I will. I’ll start putting the christmas tree up too, ready for you.” He joked back, the smile on his face shining as if he’d never smiled since you were last with him. You quickly jumped to give him a final kiss, a fire relighting in your stomach as if it was the best feeling in the world.
“See you soon.” He opened the cab door for you, closing it as you got in safely, not forgetting to give you a peck on the cheek before gently closing the door.
As the snow fell across the village and street lamps lit up the small high-street stores you grew up around, an onlooker smiled in his flat cap having watched the whole scene with his cigarette and guinness in hand. His plan to bring everything back together had worked and would be reveal it to anyone? Of course not. Haknyeon chuckled, drinking the last of his pint before walking to Juyeon, the two walking the high street home laughing and joking as if everything had never changed.

Captured
Pairing: Reader x Son Hak
Genre: Hurt/Comfort
He knows he shouldn’t have let her out of his sight, especially in such an unfamiliar area. 
Masterlist
Tumblr media
The rope digs into her wrists harshly, and she can tell that they’ve broken skin by the stinging. Sitting against one of the walls in the dingy basement, all the can do is glare at her captors in disgust. 
“Should a lady really be bestowing such a foul expression?” One of the five men in the room sneers, walking over and kneeling in front of Y/N. She fights the urge to recoil and shrink back. She wouldn’t let these men know she was afraid. 
“People like you don’t deserve anything but.” She spits out, squirming on the spot in an attempt to get her hands loose. 
A sharp crack, followed by a muffle cry and a stinging pain send her head to the side, the blow to her face clearly going to leave a bruise. 
“We may need to teach you some manners.” The man continues, grabbing her chin and wrenching her face to meet his gaze. Y/N doesn’t back down, glaring at him with hateful eyes. Her hands are shaking behind her back and she wants nothing more than to see her friends again...to see Hak again, because Hak was definitely more than a friend now.
They had gotten separated while taking on a group of bandits in a town near the border. She remembers how hesitant Hak was to leave her side and assist the others. He rarely left her unguarded as it was, and the one time he does leave...well. 
This wasn’t the most ideal situation. She does know, however, that her friends would come for her. That’s the one thing she’s confident in.
That confidence is anything but fake.
Before she can retort, there’s a distant sound of raised voices and the clinking of metal echoes through the hall leading to the room. The man releases her and glances back at the door, eyes narrowed. He signals the other 4 men in the room to go an investigate. 
Grave mistake on his part, really. 
The moment the men open the door, they’re thrown back into the room, crashing against the opposite wall. Looking up tiredly, Y/N can’t help but sigh in relief at the familiar figure. 
“It’s hard to breath underground, you know.” Hak says, and although his tone is even, his eyes show absolute fury, darkening as they find her and the state she's in. They find home for a few seconds on the bruise forming on her cheek and Y/N can tell this wouldn't end well for the men.
“Step away from her. Now.” He raises his glaive at the ready and the captor, who quickly realises all his other men are unconscious, reaches behind him and yanks Y/N up and in front of him. She yelps at the sudden harsh movement, wincing as the rope digs further into her wrists. 
“Let me pass, or this woman dies.” Her breath hitches at the feel of cool metal at her throat. 
Hak looks at the scene, jaw clenching. His eyes lock with hers for a second and with the most minuscule nod, both of them make a sudden move. 
Y/N uses her foot to kick at the man’s knee, sending him to the ground, the knife brushing against her neck. The blade never cuts her though, as Hak is by her side in a flash, hand clamped down onto the mans wrist. Easily twisting the knife out of his hand and pulling her against him in one swift movement, Hak easily knocks the man out with a single blow. 
The sudden silence in the room only lasts a few seconds, before Y/N finally relaxes and sighs. She wobbles, unsteady on her feet after hours of being held captive. She about to pitch forward, but is stopped by Hak, who wraps his arms around her, doing quick work of untying her hands. 
The hug is tight and warm and Y/N can’t help but clutch onto the back of his robes, burying her face in his chest. She missed him. It was hard being strong and brave for so long and she just wanted to see him, to touch him again. It felt like forever since she's gotten to be near him.
“This was my fault. I shouldn’t have left you alone. Forgive me.” He mumbles, arms tightening around her. 
It had been utter hell being away from her, not knowing if she was safe or even alive. 
“No, I asked you to. The others needed help.” She shakes her head, letting herself melt in his grasp.  
She can hear her friends voices down the hall. Hak must have left them to deal with the other bandits. Pulling away gently, she attempts to peer around Haka and into the hallway, but is stopped by him grabbing her wrists. 
He stares at her bloody hands, eyes narrowed and jaw clenched. If only he hadn’t been foolish enough to leave her, or even been quicker to get to her. The soft intake of breath when his fingers brush against the wound snaps him back. 
“We’ll get Yoon to look at this.” He says and the way he holds her hands are as it they’re made of glass. Precious and delicate, something that only the most worthy would be able to touch. He knows she’s anything but fragile, but it’s the instinctive need to protect and keep her safe that makes him loath the idea of anybody who wishes her harm touching her. 
“Thank you for coming.” Her voice breaks through his thoughts once again, and when he meets her eyes, he feels like the breath has been knocked out of him. Although he’s pretty much mastered how to conceal it, she always makes him feel like he can't breath around her, his heartrate always just a tad bit faster. 
“Of course. I’ll always come for you.” 
It’s that simple truth that makes her smile, varying degrees of red colouring both their faces.
Requests Are Open!

Lee Sangyeon x Ju Haknyeon - Sideways
dom! Sangyeon x soft sub! Haknyeon x bratty sub! fem! reader
Warnings: polyamorous r/s, boy x boy, anal, lingerie, daddy kink, 'puppy' is a petname for Hak, 'kitty' for reader, using a tie as restraint, some spanking, unprotected sex, lots of cum lol
Tumblr media
Haknyeon moans softly, his small hands clutching your waist as your plump lips mesh with his plush pink ones. "K-kitty, we shouldn't be doing this, daddy could be back any minute," he whispers as you suck gently at the skin on his neck. You merely giggle at the thought of Sangyeon catching you two in such a position. Part of you didn't really care either, because when you walked in on Haknyeon putting on some lingerie, you knew you couldn't keep your hands to yourself.
The boy had put on a baby blue set that flattered his skin tone, lace panties that hugged his ample ass perfectly and was snug around his thick cock. He had put it on as a surprise for Sangyeon when he came home, but apparently you beat him to it. You instantly latched on and roamed your hands around his body, and though Haknyeon wanted to tell you to stop, he was a sucker for your kisses and touches, and eventually relented. And that was how you ended up on top of him on your shared king-sized bed, when Sangyeon walks in.
"Puppy? Kitty?" came his voice from the doorway. Haknyeon bolts upright in shock, nearly throwing you off. The older man takes in the scene before him, eyes raking over Haknyeon's voluptous figure in his brand-new lingerie, and your barely-there outfit of Sangyeon's oversized tshirt, tiny panties and long socks. You don't bother climbing off Haknyeon, merely turning your body to wave cheekily at your older boyfriend, which doesn't amuse him.
"What did I tell you about playing with each other while daddy's at work?" he asks, his voice dropping a couple octaves in seriousness.
"No touching without daddy's permission," you and Haknyeon replied in unison.
Sangyeon flares his nose in disappointment. "And yet, look at you both."
You roll your eyes, ever so bratty, and brandish your hand at Haknyeon as you finally clamber off him. "You can't blame me daddy, look how pretty he looks! You would do the same!" you argued. Sangyeon narrows his eyes at you before shifting his stare to the younger boy, making him shiver under his darkening gaze.
"He does look ravishing," Sangyeon agrees, approaching the bed, reaching out a large hand to grasp Haknyeon by the throat, slowly sliding it down his front, stopping just shy of his straining cock. "Did you get all dressed up for me, puppy?" he muses, and the younger boy frantically nods. "Thank you baby that's really thoughtful of you," he murmurs before cupping Haknyeon's cock through his panties, making the boy moan lewdly at the feeling of his warm hand around his sensitive cock.
Sangyeon captures his bruised lips (courtesy of your earlier activities) in a passionate kiss, biting and sucking on those soft pink pillows as he gropes his poor aching cock, making the younger rut up into his hand, moaning into the kiss. They continue to make out for a while, Sangyeon pushing him back down to lie on the bed before you, his large hands grabbing and massaging every expanse of skin on the younger. Haknyeon can only whine and moan, taking all that's given, and clutches onto Sangyeon's sinewy arms that are threatening to rip through his white button-up.
"Daddy! N-no more teasing please, I need you," Haknyeon chokes after a particularly hard grind of Sangyeon's clothed cock against his. The older pulls away, breathless but calm, though the wild look in his eyes is a dead giveaway that he too is massively turned on by the situation. "Get the lube," he barks at you, whose been watching quietly the whole time, fingers in your panties. You bristle at the command, thursting the bottle of lube at him. "What about me?!" you complain, upset at being ignored.
He glares at you, tugging his belt and tie off. He shuffles closer to you, grabbing the lube from your hands before forcing them above your head, tying them to the bedpost with his tie, ignoring your yelps and whines to remove the restraints. "You're gonna sit there and watch and if I so much as hear a single word from you, you're not gonna cum at all tonight, you hear me? You got yourself into this mess, kitty," he growls. You're about to protest, but he holds out the belt, threatening to gag you with it if you misbehave some more.
You lower your eyes, fighting the urge to cry from the lack of attention, and look away as you hear the hushed words of affection being exchanged by the two men, the snap of the lube bottle being opened, and the wet sound of lube-covered fingers.
"I'm already prepped, daddy," Haknyeon blushes, shyly avoiding Sangyeon's eyes as the older spreads his legs apart. The older snickers, finding it cute at how well-thought out Haknyeon's plan was, before pulling aside the fabric of his panties. Sure enough, a bejeweled sapphire plug was nestled between his ample cheeks, and he gives it an experimental tug. The boy whimpers, and Sangyeon begins pulling it out, cooing as he watched the curves of the plus stretching his rim out so prettily. Once it's out, the pink hole clenches and unclenches around nothing, begging to be filled, and Sangyeon can barely wait.
He sticks his lubed fingers into the hole, and Haknyeon gasps, arching his back at the cold liquid being spread in and around his hole. It sounds filthy and they've barely even begun, and your panties are soaked from arousal already, screaming internally at how unfair this is going to be for you. Sangyeon unzips his pants, not bothering to take them off completely. Instead he pulls his cock out, giving it a few good strokes with the remainder of the lube on his hands before lining it up with Haknyeon's hole.
He casts a scathing look towards you. "Are you watching, kitty?" he asks, and when you nod grumpily, he chuckles. "Good." And he pushes himself into Haknyeon's fluttering hole, making the smaller boy groan at the sudden fullness, and a low whine escapes you as you watch his ass swallow Sangyeon's thick girth. He keeps going until he's fully sheathed, balls deep, smirking at the way Haknyeon's eyes roll up into the back of his head in pleasure. He pecks another kiss to his lips before pulling out and slamming back in, bruising the younger's hips with the grip he has on him.
Your eyes are transfixed on the spot where they're connected, watching as Sangyeon mercilessly pummels into Haknyeon's ass, the hypnotic push and pull of his hips, and the filthy sounds of slick skin slapping against each other. It only gets worse for you when Hanknyeon keeps moaning like a bitch in heat as Sangyeon speeds up, and starts teasing his nipples, knowing how much you love your nipples toyed with, but you can't have it. You squirm in agony, rubbing your thighs desperately together for some sort of friction, and you don't notice the way Sangyeon's lips quirk up further at your frustrations.
"Daddy, daddy right there yes! Ahh, ahh, I'm gonna cum daddy I wanna cum!" Haknyeon sobs, the rhythmic pounding in his ass too much to handle. He had been hoping for a nice slow, love making session after daddy came home from work, but thanks to you, he got more than he bargained for. He's not complaining, he loves being used like a cocksleeve too, but it's a lot, and it's tiring. Surprisingly, Sangyeon lets him, encouraging him to cum in his panties untouched, and the poor boy spills into the baby blue lace, screaming daddy's name as he trembles from the force of his orgasm.
Sangyeon rubs his warm hands soothingly up and down his body, coaxing him through his orgasm, muttering soft praises of "you look so pretty like this, puppy" and "you did so well for me I love you puppy" and your heart fractures in jealousy. You want to scream, cry and kick out as your pussy throbs in neglected arousal, but you know that if you act out, you're not getting your way tonight. Usually, Sangyeon would make you cum anyway, just depends on how bratty you've been so he can tease you for longer.
Tonight however, you really need him and he seems more serious than usual about denying your orgasm, so you try your best to rein in your brattiness. It takes so much effort that you're crying, hot tears streaming down your face and Haknyeon is the first to notice. He looks at you in alarm, reaching out a hand to grasp your leg, rubbing it softly to soothe you. "Kitty are you okay? Please don't cry I'm so sorry," Haknyeon pouts apologetically, but Sangyeon shrugs apathetically. Gently pulling out, ("aaah" goes Haknyeon at the loss of contact) Sangyeon comes over to lean over you.
"You're okay, kitty. You want daddy to play with you now?" he murmurs, caressing your cheek with the back of his hand. You nuzzle into it, relishing his much-needed touch and nod softly, trying to stop the tears. Sangyeon quickly undoes your restraints, and scoops you up into his lap laying you sideways, but your relief doesn't last long when he flips you over, making your ass jut out in the air, and you know just what is coming. "No no daddy please don't spank me!" you beg, eyes wide in fear but all he does is solemnly shake his head.
"You've been misbehaving so much today kitty, you know what happens when you break the rules. I'll make it quick, don't worry," he assures you with a soft kiss to your temple. His strikes are quick and impactful, making your plush ass jiggle and bloom with red handprints, which he soothingly rubs after 10 spanks. He gently turns you over, wiping your fresh tears away and holds you close, and Haknyeon combs his fingers through your hair, the soft scritching of his nails against your scalp so calming. After a while, Sangyeon tugs your shirt up, bunching it up above your breasts, and latches onto a pert nipple, sucking tenderly and lapping at it making you sigh in pleasure. His hands wander lower, dipping under the waistband of your ruined panties to rub a calloused fingertip against your throbbing clit.
"Daddy~" you whimper, hesitantly grinding back onto his finger, needing more stimulation. You feel him smile against your breast, and he obliges, sticking 2 fingers into your dripping core immediately, knowing that you're too needy for him to start things slow. He feels your body tense up in his lap, writhing as he pumps his fingers harshly into you, feeling your warm juices coat his hand. Your eyes roll back and your tongue lolls out out of your mouth, a sinful picture of pleasure, and your tiny hands come up to grab his muscular arms. You're so close to the edge, if he keeps this up you're going to cum so soon-
Sangyeon pulls out his fingers as quickly as he shoved them inside you, making you scream in frustration. Furious, you hit his muscular chest with your fists but he merely laughs and catches your hands before you can hit him some more. "If you wanna cum you need to work for it, kitty," he explains, to which you snort. "Haki didn't have to work for it."
The poor boy blushes in embarrassment, not expecting to be caught in the crossfire. "Puppy got all dressed up for me, but you wanted to have him all to yourself, so you gotta make it up to me don't you think?" Sangyeon muses, gripping your jaw to face him when you turn away in disdain. "And you know just what to do."
Without another word, he strips completely, making you and Haknyeon's jaws drop at the expanse of muscle. You live together and see him every day but you both agree that he's hottest during his displays of power and dominance. The older man leans back against the pillows and the headboard, spreading his thick thighs, bringing attention to his erect cock; veiny, throbbing, and beautifully curved. He stares down at you expectantly, looking every bit like a Greek god, and you feel yourself shrink in humility and arousal. You crawl over in a trance, shedding your oversized tee and panties along the way, before settling yourself on his lap, legs forcefully kept apart by his thighs, and his massive cock grazing against your aching clit.
He picks you up single handedly with ease, using his other hand to guide his dick into your pussy, and you whimper at the feeling of his tip rubbing at your folds. Slowly, he eases you down, and a pained groan escapes you as your cunt stretches to accommodate his sheer size. "That's it, kitty, you can take all of it," he shushes you with kisses, and you wrap your arms around his neck as you sloppily make out. Once he's fully inside, you don't even want to move, you just love the fullness of his cock inside you, but Sangyeon urges you to ride him properly, squeezing your ass to move you up and down his cock.
The slide of his dick against your walls is addictive, and soon, you find yourself bouncing on his dick, head thrown back in ecstasy, your breasts smothering his face. Sangyeon takes this opportunity to bury his face in your cleavage, the light stubble on his jaw prickling your skin deliciously and you can't stop moaning lewdly. You're so loud that the sound of your moans even masks the squelching sounds of your pussy around his cock.
"Fuck, Haknyeon, shut her up," Sangyeon growls from between your breasts. The younger startles, and hesitantly stands up on the bed, squeezing his dick through his cum-stained panties. He's hard all over again, just by watching you two, trying his best not to touch himself, but since daddy's given him the green light, he quickly tugs his panties off, hissing when his cum covered dick hits the cold air. "Here, kitty," he whispers, mewling when you willingly take his whole cock in your mouth, eagerly swirling your tongue around it like it's your favorite lollipop. Haknyeon clings to the headboard to steady himself, weak in the knees from your enthusiastic blowjob.
Meanwhile Sangyeon's pulled back, leaning against the pillows and watching the both of you with a mix of adoration and lust in his eyes. He reaches out a hand to massage your breast, and his other goes to grope Haknyeon's ass, grinning when both of you moan at the warmth of his hands. It's getting too much for you, being filled from both ends and your nipples being teased, and your bounces get sloppier with every thrust. "Kitty's going to cum soon, and you are too, right puppy?" Sangyeon smirks, and Haknyeon whimpers, nodding frantically as he fucks your mouth. You can't think anymore, overtaken by pleasure, and can only hope that daddy lets you cum this time, when you feel Haknyeon's hot seed spilling into your throat without warning, and you nearly choke.
He quickly pulls you off and kisses your face in apology, hushed whispers of "I'm so sorry kitty I couldn't help myself!" Gulping lungfuls of air that burn your raw throat, you beg daddy to let you cum, and he decides to help you, taking over and fucking you down onto his dick like a cocksleeve, and you feel yourself come undone, hot juices spilling out of your pussy all over his thick cock. Without Haknyeon's cock in your mouth, your loud moans and gasps fill the air, and Sangyeon isn't much further from his own orgasm either. He pulls you off his him, making you and Haknyeon kneel before him.
"Open up, my babies," he growls, roughly jerking himself off, sending ropes of cum splattering across both your faces, swearing and groaning lowly as you both eagerly lap up his seed. It's a filthy scene, but one that he can never get enough of, and he quickly swipes his phone to immortalize the moment, a personal memento of one of his favorite evenings.
After a nice warm shower and a change of sheets, Sangyeon tucks you both into bed as he cleans up the room, and as he chucks the dirty clothes into the laundry basket, he makes a mental note to buy more lingerie for both you and Haknyeon, possibly matching sets with personalized collars. He grins at the thought as he settles into bed, hugging both of you close, falling into a deep slumber surrounded by his favorite people in the world.

This is my second character analysis and I honestly don't know if I succeeded, but I hope I managed to convey what a wonderful and complex character Hak is. I tagged @yonaks as promised.
-
Hak's wonderful and complex character. He went way to change and succeeded (maybe incompletely because I think to heal until the end he eventually need to confront with Suwon),The present arc just showed how Hak has developed from Chapter 1 to now.
At the beginning of the series, he seemed to be focused solely on Yona and his loyalty to Suwon. It was true, but the Hak of the Beginning was more than just a love interest. He has never been just a love interest and is definitely not only a love interest, his life isn't just about Yona.Hak's a separate character with his own experiences, traumas with a big heart, kindness and loyalty.
The Hak from the beginning knew Yona's feelings towards Suwon, so he pushed aside his own happiness and love and focused entirely on Yona and Suwon's happiness.
Hak's confirmed that all he wanted was to serve alongside Yona and Suwon.
Tumblr media
This monologue was spoken in Awa arc, where jeaha immediately noticed Haku's feelings for Yona and his hopeless situation. Hak pushed aside his own happiness for the happiness of his friends.
Jeaha he perfectly stated that Yona and Hak "seem close, but they're separated by a certain distance"
Tumblr media
The distance was between them because Hak,didn't want his desire to prevail over him.It is obvious. He expected nothing from Yona. He only wanted the good of his friends, even though he was making himself miserable.
Suwon's betrayal was more very shocking and truamatic to Hak than Yona.Everything he dreamed about was ruined by what Suwon did. Yona managed to come to terms with it faster, while Hak pretended that everything was fine, pretended that he was strong. At the end of Awa arc he had a thirst for blood confirms that Hak it was all directed towards one person Suwon.
He went through the first breakdown. When he met Suwon in the water clan.He was out of control,it only shows how much Hak was hurt by the betrayal of a person whom he respected so much and considered his best friend
Tumblr media
Jeaha said he's in the dark all the time and that's true.When Riri and Yona were kidnapped to a labor camp. When he heard Suwon, he had the same thing, that when he dug his fingers against the wall, his fingers were full of blood, yet they cooperated.
At first, Hak wanted to do everything himself. To take on himself the protection of the princess, because he did not think that he could not trust anyone, he closed his own heart.
Gradually, Hak began to change. We see his real smiles. He is as cute as smiles things, more handsome. What's more, Hak admitted that he was grateful to the dragons for being with him because he wouldn't save the princess himself and would not protect her himself.
Tumblr media
shows gratitude with a hug. He opened his heart to a new family.
Tumblr media
Then he nervously shouted Yona what he felt for her (I really would like to hear it in a voice) I think that helped him in some way too, because he had to always suppress his feelings and finally started to say what he thought about her.
Hak first objected to Yona when she decided to return to the castle. You can see how much it broke Hak, how badly he needs healing, how much he is traumatized
Tumblr media
He finally got stabilized, had a new family and had to go back to the trauma (I know he has to work through his trauma) but finally he started to say what to think and not be that obedient to Yona.He began to express feelings.
In the current arc he wasn't allowed into the castle. He cared for dragons in combat shows and joined the army.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Despite his own trauma, he decided to join the army, where he made a good impression and trained the soldiers of the sky clan. After that, he was put in prison, after all, he trained there and intended not to run away.
Then she despaired, and he fought not only for Yona, but for the family and soldiers of the enemy. He begged for rescue that came.
Conclusion: Initially Hak, suppresses many emotions, mostly feelings for Yona. He was introverted. He suffered from the betrayal of Suwon and it was difficult for him to open his heart to a new family, he was distrustful, and over time he appreciated the four dragons and began to say what he thought, he opened his heart to the new family and began to express his own emotions, even towards Yona.At first he thought about Yona and Suwon's feelings. He began to think about himself and his own feelings. He's still deeply wounded, yet he does his best to be useful. Now he protects not only Yon but his own family. Hook needs to overcome his own trauma eventually, but he does everything in his power to be useful nonetheless.

I Just Can’t Take It Anymore…
Tumblr media
The trickster (Ji woon hak) x reader angst
Author note: I barely know Korean so please understand that some words are google translate and I know google sometimes doesn't work ;(, Also I feel like if Ji woon was in that realm for a while, he would start learning English more better, because many survivors are from around the world. Also I made it realistic, so if someone dies they die :).
Part 2

Ji Woon woke up, he sit up and looked around his surroundings, “못쓰게 만들다 (fuck)”, his hands were squeezed tight, his knuckles were turning white, “why am I still here…” his body was shaking, “I… don’t want hurt anyone anymore… why can’t I leave from this nightmare”, dirt was digging into his nails, his vision was getting fuzzy and his ears were ringing, but until he heard the entity, he snapped out of his thoughts, and heard voices, telling him if he doesn’t move, he’ll be punished. So he stood up quivering and picked up his bat from the dirty floor, when he got situated and try to calm himself, because the entity was watching him, whispering to murder the people around him, but the entity was disappointed by how’s he’s acting, so one of it’s claws were on his throat, whispering ‘murder, murder, murder’ like a broken record, Ji woon had a idea, he grabbed his hair with his free and faked chaotic laughed, to make the entity think he’s still the attendantic murder from the very beginning, the entity slowly disappears into the mist, leaving Ji woon alone, then he ended his acting, and continued to shake, “ok… ok… let’s get this over, and… and maybe I can finally leave this place…” he chuckled with slight relief.

When ji Woon found his first survivor, he was running away from him, he gave fake chaotic laughs and was chasing after him, he wanted to show the entity, that he was insane, he threw his kunais at his legs, so he won’t walk, the man pleads were making his ears ring, ‘how did I get aroused by this…’ it wanted to make him puke, that he even think it like that way, hearing there pleads in his music and screams, was like something was calling inside for him, but now, murdering people over and over and over again, slowly didn’t aroused him anymore and all the attention before was slowly departing too, he just wanted run away just like these survivors, Ji Woon slowly walk up to the poor man, and slowly lifted his bat up and ready to strike his neck, “죄송 해요… (I’m sorry)”
Snap
Was all he heard, by the hit of the bat to the bone, he was shaking and he pulled his bat out of the nape, he tried to slow his breathing and went to the next person, while he was walking he could see a woman fixing a Generator, it sounds like it was almost done, so he put his bat on his back, and grab one of his kunais, he aimed it at her throat and it successfully slit her throat, she stopped her hands from fixing her generator, and put her hands on her throat, she was gagging, Ji woon dropped his kunais, and started to cover his ears, his quivering was worsening, and he dunk his head low, so he wouldn’t see, what was happening in front of him, he “tried” to calm himself down, but got it significantly worse, “please… make it stop… please…”, the entity was appearing behind him, ready to punish him again, its claws we’re getting close to his neck again, telling him lies, whispering ‘if you murder the rest, you’ll be free…’ ‘you’ll get rewarded, after this trial’ ‘you can see your father again… don’t you want that…’ “나의 아버지… (my father)”
Ji woon’s laughter got ragged, and everytime he laughed it sounded forced, he got his baseball bat from his back and his tears were still spilling out, that made his eyeliner smear, but he made sure that he looked like a psychopath, the entity disappears again, into the mist it goes…
When he walking away from the corpse, he felt like someone else was watching him, instead of the entity, he felt a woman’s presence, from behind him, he looked back, but all he saw was the corpse from before, he gulped and kept walking forward and found the next survivor, he was cleansing a totem, the man turned around terrified, “let’s makes this quick…” his lips quivered, he raised his bat shakily, but before he raised his shaky bat, the man kicked him in the shin and scattered, “nnnnghhh, 못쓰게 만들다… (fuck)”, the man ran into a dead end, and Ji Woon was behind him, he kneeled down, begging for mercy, “please… don’t make this hard as it is…”, Ji Woon said, he clenched his hands on his baseball bat, the guy in front of him, at this point was sobbing and pleading for his forgiveness, Ji Woon closed his eyes “shut up… shut up… SHUT UP…”, he strike his baseball bat, at his head, and smashed it, the man was screaming for mercy, “shut up!” And smashed it again… again… and… again… until his face was not even noticeable anymore. Ji Woon opened his eyes and was terrified on what the results were, he felt like vomiting, he drop his baseball bat, and put hands on his mouth, for him to stop his vomiting, he swallowed the gross liquid down his throat, he was hyperventilating, “Make it stop… make it stop…” his voice sound so hoarse, he fell back and he put his hands threw his hair, he was digging threw his scalp, “please… I just can’t take it anymore… I just want to go home…” his body was shaking really badly, his hyperventilating was worsening, it was dead silent and all he could hear was his wipering, until he heard some footsteps, right when he felt a hand touch his shoulder, he freaked out, “LEAVE ME ALONE!” He turned back and got a better look at the person in front of him, his shaking was slowly calming down, when he noticed it was a woman, and not the entity, “hey… shhh… hey… everything is going to be ok…” “stay away from me… I… I don’t want to hurt you…” (Y/N) slowly got closer, but he flinched, “please, please, please… I don’t want to hurt you…” (Y/N) felt guilt in her chest, why is she feeling this way, he is a murder, but in past trials, he wasn’t like this, but why now, he’s like lost pup, running away from a pack of wolfs, “hey, trickster, everything going to be ok” her calming voice sound so angelic, he gulped, “can I help you…” he slowly nodded his head, he look so scared, she slowly walked up to him and put her hands in front of him, he look at her like she was mad, she nodded and had the smallest smile, his lips were quivering, but he tried to force a smile, he slowly put his hands on hers, and she slowly lifted him up.
She got a better look at him, his weight looks slightly skinnier than he was before, he had scars around his abandon, around his body was also bruises, ‘is he hurting himself or is the entity doing this to him…’, she looked at his face and his eyeliner was smearing, “hey… everything going to be ok…”, she started to put her fingers in his hair to rub his sore scalp, his body finally stopped quivering, he leaned into her touch, it was quite gentle, he missed this feeling, how his father would help him sleep, when he was a small child, “thanks…” he gave another smile, but it wasn’t forced, she smiled back, “can… I hug you…” Ji Woon said in a shaky breath, she was hesitant, but, “sure…” he felt some guilt railing up to his heart, she sounded so scared, he slowly hugged her, she hugged him back, she was rubbing small circles on his back for more comfort, he slowly let go of her, he looked at her, she was gorgeous, she like a angel that fell out of heaven, how is someone so beautiful like you here. In this dreadful place, “hey… let’s leave…” that shook him, “I can’t…” “let’s try…” his lips were quivering, “I- I can’t” “I know but I want to help you… so let’s just try” she was so calm and clear to understand, “but-“, “let’s at least try” Ji Woon wanted to push her away and then just get punished by the entity, but maybe he can try again, he never walked out with someone else, “ok…” it was barely a whisper, she then offered her hand and he hesitantly grab onto hers, and she walked to the gate, “wait, don’t you need to finish all the generators” “I… I finished every generator, while you were killing the… others…”
When they got to the door, she let go of his hand, and pulled down the lever, it was charging up, but right when it hit 99 percent, he lifted her hand, “it’s not gonna work… just open the gate, and leave me here so I can get punished-“ “NO, we’re getting out of this together” she snatched her hand back and pulled the lever down, the bells were ringing, telling everyone to leave this place, she grab his hand and dragged him along, while she walked, she got out from the other side, but when she was walking, she halted, she couldn’t move any further, she looked back and saw entity fences, that made Ji Woon couldn’t move any further, “see… I- I can’t move any further…” his voice was cracking, he was quivering again, so she tried pulling on his arm, but he couldn’t move from that damn line, “trickster, try pushing I can’t do this all by my-“ “IM TELLING YOU, I CAN'T GO ANY FURTHER, JUST LEAVE” “but-“ “JUST LEAVE” she was sobbing, Ji woon felt horrible, he shouldn’t yell at her, she is just trying to help, and why is someone that he just meet making him feel like this, “NO, I'M NOT LEAVING YOU” (Y/N) ran back into the line, and Ji Woon turned around “what are you doing!” “I’m trying to save you!” He had a slight blush, “but-“ she hugged him and tried pushing him through the line, the entity was clawing through the door, he started to panic, “let… go…” his voice was hoarse, ''no”, ''please… let go…” his tears were dropping on her head, “no…”, “let go, please, you're gonna die…” “I don’t care, I- I feel your pain and I want to help you…” she was sobbing, and it hurts to see someone he just meet, care about him so freaking much, the only person that actually cared so much of him was his father, so, he did the unexpected, and lifted her up, “what- what are you-“ he threw her back into the safe route, he turned around and faced the entity, “NO” she said, he looked back with a small and present smile, “oh, my name is Ji Woon, and thanks for being here for me, maybe we can see each other again, in are next trial” his smile was so pure, despite all fuck up shit, that’s been happening in this cursed realm, “no…” she stood back up and ran to him, and hugged him, “I… just can’t leave you…” Ji Woon saw the entity stopped, the second to final bell ring, telling them, they only had a couple seconds left, “why… are you… so nice to me…”, “because I want to help people that been through so much pain, and relieve them, to not be in that pain anymore”, his heart just flutter, he turned around to pick her up again, she felt how fast his heart was pumping on her chest, she liked how warm he is, he felt so good to touch, it makes her fear go away, Ji Woon was at the line again, ‘let’s try this again’, and right when he stepped on the line, the entity fences didn’t appear, he can pass through, he was relieved that he can pass through, there was tears of joy in his eyes, so he ran…
While holding the most beautiful woman in his arms, he can finally be human again…
