Epilogue of "Just as the stars love the night"

Ash's pov

One year later...

I strolled with Yumiko through the parking lot of the stadium. In front of me I pushed the buggy in which Estella babbled and next to it ran Maho who was very amused about it. They both grew up so fast, I remembered exactly how small they used to be, time passed so quickly and soon we would welcome dwarf number three in our midst. Yumi was heavily pregnant with Jordan's child, they were supposed to start their planned trip around the world months ago but that plan was promptly scrapped when they found out about their blessing. I was so happy for them, they deserved all the happiness in the world. As for me, or rather Elena and I, our family planning was complete. With Estella and work we had our hands full. It took us a long time to adjust to a normal everyday life again but with the help of our friends it worked out.

Together we entered the stadium, it was a hot summer day and we had spontaneously decided to visit our loved ones at the training. The Tournament of the Champions was in a few days and everything was running at full speed. This year Lena would still be competing for Nighthaven since she was still under contract and even though it seemed strange to me I was cheering for Kali's troop this year. She should just not get used to it, next summer she would have no more chances should I be released for the service and participate again. I hoped so much, I loved being a mother but I wanted to get back in the saddle and work but I wasn't quite out of the woods yet. Sometimes nightmares and panic attacks still plagued me but with time it became less and less.

Yumiko and I crossed the lower area, past the changing rooms and entered the interior of the large dome. We walked the familiar path along the side to the benches where the various teams sat. I got Stella out of her stroller and put her on the grass, there she could crawl in peace as she wanted without anything dangerous lying around. Maho got all jittery, she had hoped that Jordan was already done and took her to the training building where she was allowed to drive around with a drone as long as it was not one of Twitch's, the last time she had zapped Mozzie with it a few times who did not find it as funny as the rest. She kept an eager lookout while playing with Estella.

Yumi sat down on one of the benches and stroked her round belly. She was beaming like the sun.

"Oh Liz, are you sure you don't want another one? You're such great mothers and I'm sure Stella would love a sibling. Maybe we can even get pregnant at the same time then, imagine that."

Her eyes shone with joy at the thought and she seemed to have her head in the clouds.

I looked at her and raised my eyebrow.

"No for the last time, you know how I feel about it. I love my daughter and wouldn't trade her for anything but I also want to finally do something for myself again. I want to get healthy and start back at Rainbow, I miss it so much. Besides, she already has a sister and soon a brother. We all spend so much time together that she will never feel alone. And another thing you douche, both of us pregnant at the same time? Our partners would leave the country. We're bad enough as it is."

She shrugged and replied "Well maybe I'll talk to Mira, she might see it differently."

Suddenly a voice sounded behind us "What do you want to talk to me about?"

Elena was standing there, she had already changed her clothes. Apparently she had finished her workout and had gone to take a shower while we waited. Jordan also appeared next to her, which did not escape Maho's notice. She ran up to in and let him lift her into the air.

"Hi Dad!!! Can we go?"

She had started calling him that over the last few months and Jordan couldn't have been prouder. Together they went off to play with the drone.

Mira picked Estella up and then joined us.

"So what about me?"

I rolled my eyes and said "Yumi thinks we should expand our family."

Elena laughed "Why, she's already doing that for us with Jordan or is she talking about a dog?"

She earned a nasty look from Hibana who got up and waddled away. Someone should have told her that she couldn't be taken seriously like that.

We amused ourselves for a while, then Mira changed the subject.

"So what do you say? Do we have a chance against Rainbow?"

I snorted, she knew how to draw me out.

"They don't stand a chance against you guys. You'll flatten them."

Never would I have thought to root for Nighthaven, I guess I was more mentally unstable than I thought.

The rest of the afternoon passed quietly. We went for a walk as a large group and family and then ended the evening without children in a restaurant. I had missed that so much, to lead a normal life without being on the run or having to fear for my loved ones. But now everything was finally good. I had people around me who loved me and for whom I felt the same. When I think about it, I had everything I ever wanted and needed. I was happy.

The end.

SW: World Academy AU:

Book I: Yumi's Arrival

Main Hall - World Academy

There were several planes and vehicles parked one by one for the World Academy welcome celebration. While some students wanted attention, a biplane named Yumi avoided the center, parked in the corner, hoping no one would notice her.

"I hope no one sees me here, I prefer not to draw attention" thought Yumi, when Jimbo, who was the director of the World Academy, said:

- welcome young students, welcome to the World Academy, where you will be prepared to become Super Wings in the future - said Jimbo with joy - Here at the World Academy you have everything you need, it's hard and intensive training, it will only be a year, but it will be enough to put you on missions around the world. Our mentors were trained by the Super Wings with the objective of giving adequate training.

Jimbo showed all the mentors, made up of human beings.

- In addition, at the end of the year, the final evaluation will be carried out, where you have been put to the test - said Jimbo - And if they were approved, they joined our team.

As Jimbo spoke, a baby blue plane called Sophie was confused whether or not to try to talk to Yumi

- Hey Girl - said Sophie shyly to Yumi

- Hi - Yumi said shyly too

- What is your name? - asked Sophie

- Yumi - he replied softly - and yours?

- Sophie - replied to Yumi - What do you like to do?

- Read and write - said Yumi

- I love to draw and paint - said Sophie - so much that's my skill

- Literature is my specialty - said Yumi

- They are complementary skills! - said Sophie - can we train together?

- We have to see if we're in the same class first - said Yumi - and to tell you the truth I'm rooting for that to happen

- So am I - said Sophie - I'm not much for making friends, I'm talking to you because I felt that you were a nice and different person.

- By my model? - asked Yumi - Biplanes are rare to see these days

- That's not what I'm talking about - said Sophie - it's about you being unique and cute at the same time.

- thank you - said Yumi - you also seemed like someone nice and cute too.

A-10 Dorms - World Academy

The two talked for a while, and when they went to see their classes and rooms, they found that they had both stayed together. They both flew to their dorms and started unpacking their bags.

- We'll finally be together! - Yumi said - I'm happy and relieved

- Me too - said Sophie - at least I won't be such a lonely girl

Yumi in that Memento was with a sad face, worried about her new friend, Sophie asked:

- Yumi, what happened? - said Sophie - you got sad so suddenly

- I miss home - said Yumi - it will be difficult to stay so long away from my family, without my little corner in my room, without my private library, I don't know if I can handle the longing.

- Yumi, don't be like that, one of the advantages of being in WA is that we spend the weekends with our family - said Sophie - Super Wings value family contact and support, they would never deprive us of contact with our relatives.

- It is serious? So can I come home for the weekend? - Asked Yumi surprised - I'm more relieved

- Another point is that our relatives can visit us on school days - said Sophie - Which reinforces everything I said

- Cool! - said Yumi - At least I won't be deprived of seeing my family

- Enough of sadness - said Sophie - let's decorate our dorm, let it be like our little corner

- Here we go! - said Yumi

A drawing here, a book there, everything was just the way the girls liked it, the room was beautiful, on Sophie's side, she decorated it with several of her drawings, on Yumi's side, the shelves that were empty before, were now accommodated by books and more books.

- We are done! - said the two

- It was exhausting - said Sophie

- I'm very tired - said Yumi - better we have dinner and rest

- True, tomorrow we have our first day of school - Said Sophie

- Let's go! - Said Yumi and Sophie

Both had dinner and went back to the dorm to rest because the next day would be long.

Musical Moment

Note. Those were the songs I was listening to and creating this new universe.

This one helps me to further detail each deep and intense feeling of the characters.

WIP WEDNESDAY

“It’s not important now. Just… know that I want you to get better. I’m trying my best to help.”

Yumi’s nose twitched, her expression wry as she noted the pointed lack of an answer to her question. Maybe he really did want to help her; she found herself inclined to believe him based on his guilty conscience alone. He seemed eager enough to help her hide a body, anyway. But every question dodged left her bitter— what else was he so eager to hide? 

Raymond continued to avert his eyes, focusing on the road as he took a winding exit into the inky blackness beyond the glow of highway lights. Looking up through her window, Yumi thought the stars looked further away than usual that night, though countless half-bare branches stretched up to meet them. 

By the time they pulled into the parking lot of some roadside motel, Yumi could feel her head ringing once more. Her vision swam, expanding and contracting along with the pain in her skull. Though Raymond had parked the car and exited it, she laid still slouched over with her hands cuffed waiting for him to release her. It wasn’t the click of the door that roused her, but the rough grip of his hand on her shoulder and the deep rumble of his voice. 

“Hey, don’t fall asleep on me yet. We’re here.”

Yumi shifted, eyeing him over her shoulder as she leaned deeper into the seat. 

“Are you gonna walk me in there in handcuffs, Mr. Delver?” her normally husky voice came out much gentler for her lack of strength— the effect was instant and gratifying. She watched with semi demonic glee as he squirmed under the uncomfortable realization. 

“It’s Raymond. And… no, I… I can’t. Can I trust you to stay in control for a minute while I check us in?” Yumi couldn’t contain a sly grin. 

“Aw, you’re no fun,” she replied.

𝐃𝐀𝐘 𝐄𝐋𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐍: 𝐁𝐀𝐁𝐘𝐒𝐈𝐓𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆

𝑨𝒕𝒔𝒖𝒔𝒉𝒊 𝑵𝒂𝒌𝒂𝒋𝒊𝒎𝒂/𝑹𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒆𝒓

𝑺𝒚𝒏𝒐𝒑𝒔𝒊𝒔: The Detective Agency has to babysit the Reader's five year old cousin, and things are turned up a notch.

"Here comes the worst..." She sighed, before the front door of the Agency opens up and sees her aunt along with her little cousin who's name is Mira. Kunikida, Atsushi, [Name] and Dazai had turned their attention to the guests as the other Agency members excluding the boss. "Thank you so much for allowing my little girl to stay here for two days." Said your aunt, Yumi.

"No problem..." Atsushi said.

"Y-Yeah." [Name] replied, having a fake smile on her face. 'Oh god, please...' She thought. Kunikida and Atsushi notices the expression on her face, meaning that something was up with her. "Alright, Mira. The Detective Agency and [Name]-chan is going to take care of you while we gone." The little girl with brown and black hair nodded, before giving her a hug and left the Agency.

"Have a good trip, Aunt!"

- 𝐋𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐑 -

Mira was in her coloring book that was in her bag as she used the crayons that came with it. "She's your... Cousin?" Kunikida and Atsushi asked. [Name] nodded, explaining to them that she is quite a handful, but she still loves her a ton.

"[Nickname]!" Mira called out your name with a smile.

"Yes, Mira?"

"Can you and your boyfriend take me out to the playground?" She points at Atsushi as the two blush at her word, 'boyfriend.' Kunikida had a tiny smirk on his lips as if he was trying not to tease the two. "We're not dating!" They said in sync. All of a sudden, Mira had put her coloring things up in her bag. "[Name] and white haired boy sitting in a tree, K.I.S.S.I.N.G." She sang while dancing and moving her hands in different directions. "Alright, alright! Let's go tothe playground." "Come back when you can!" Kunikida told the two who were walking out with the little girl.

- 𝐎𝐔𝐓𝐒𝐈𝐃𝐄 -

Humming came from the distance as both Atsushi and [Name] onto one of the little gitrl's hand during their walk to the park. Many people mistaken the three of you as a family, but told them that they weren't one and that they were babysitting her. Sooner or later, they arrived to their destination at the park. She went to the swings with them, then the slide, monkey bars, and went on the climbing rock things together. Afterwards, they got ice cream and walked back to the agency side by side.

"[Name], you'll do anything you ask... Right?"

That question was a bit too early, especially when it was a broad afternoon. "Yeah, I am your oldest cousin after all. What's wrong?"

"Truth or dare?"

"Dare?"

"I dare you... To kiss him!" Both of them gasped at her request before staring at her once more. "You want us to do what?"

"KISS!" She repeated herself. Atsushi blushed as [Name] clears her throat, trying to not say anything on accident. Without hesitation, she moved a strand of her [Hair Color] hair from the side of her face and lean in closer and closer to his face slowly. "Y-YOU REALLY GONNA KISS ME?!" He yells as everything around him stopped around him after her lips were on his, making Mira squeals at the scene before her. Atsushi's eyes widened at the sudden action she had done. "Atsushi-kun... I had liked you for a while now." She admitted blushing as he stutters, trying to process what happened. As soon as she smiled at him, his nose bled and he passed out on the ground.

"A-Atsushi?!" She shaked him, trying to wake him up.

- 𝐁𝐎𝐍𝐔𝐒 𝐒𝐂𝐄𝐍𝐄 -

"So, why did he pass out?" Asked Kunikida.

"From getting hit by a pole." [Name] lied, as Mira snickered. "That's a lie! She kisses him and he passed out."

Fools Rush In: Chapter 6

Jungkook x Reader

Genre/Rate: 18+, Strangers-to-lovers, age gap!AU (reader is 30, Jungkook is 23), Angst, smut, fluff

Summary: You catch up with your friends and Jungkook shows you that he’s serious about the baby.

Warnings: None to note.

WC: 1.3K

“So, how are things going with you and Jungkook?” Yumi asked as she settled herself down on the couch next to Jimin in your living room. Since you had decided to stay in Korea for the next few months, Yumi and your other best friend Jimin came to see you and catch up.

“Good, good,” you nodded as you looked over at her. “We’re uh, kind of seeing each other now.”

“Really?” Jimin gasped. “From what you had told me, you were insistent on raising the baby alone.”

“That was if she had to,” Yumi interjected.

“Exactly. And after I told him about the baby and he had a few days to think it over, he realized that he didn’t want me to have to do it alone,” you explained. “If he’s willing to step up, I don’t see why I shouldn’t give him a chance.”

“That’s all well and good but you don’t have to necessarily have to be with him just because he’s stepping up and literally doing what he should,” Jimin cautioned.

“I get that Jimin,” you rolled your eyes. “But I actually like him too. I mean, there is a reason why I slept with him almost four months ago.”

“It wasn’t just the good sex?” Yumi teased.

“No,” you giggled. “He’s just so...sure of himself and what he wants in life. Sure, he’s young and still trying to figure his shit out but he has a much better outlook on things than I did at 23, and I arguably had the world at my fingertips by that age. He’s funny and kind hearted and sweet, not to even mention how attractive he is.”

“You know, I don’t think I’ve ever heard you talk about someone that you’ve dated that way,” Yumi pointed out but before you could reply, there was a knock on your front door. Excusing yourself, you got up from the couch and jogged over to your front door to pull it open.

“Hi,” you smiled when you saw Jungkook standing there, two bags in each of his hands. “What are you doing here?”

“Brought you lunch,” he replied, holding up the bags. “You busy?”

“I’m just hanging out with some friends but come in, come in,” you waved your hand and he nodded before stepping inside, watching as you shut the door behind him.

“Come here,” he said and you stepped closer to him, setting your hands on his cheeks as you kissed him firmly. The two of you kissed for a few seconds before you pulled away, taking a second to wipe a little spit from the side of his mouth. 

“Come meet my friends,” you told him and he followed behind you as you led the way back into the living room. 

“Who is this?” Yumi smirked knowingly and you just huffed before you began the introductions. 

“Jungkook, these are my best friends Sato Yumi and Park Jimin,” you said. “Yumi, Jimin, this is Jeon Jungkook.”

“Your baby daddy,” Jimin added.

“Yeah, my baby daddy,” you laughed, making Jungkook do the same. 

“It’s nice to meet you both,” Jungkook smiled, bowing a little towards the both of them.

“Mm, cute and polite,” Yumi hummed in approval. “We love to see it.”

“I didn’t know that you guys were here, otherwise I would’ve brought more food,” Jungkook apologized sheepishly as he gestured to the bags in his hands. 

“Oh, don’t worry about us, we were just leaving,” Jimin replied, motioning to Yumi who nodded before they both stood up. 

“We’ll call you later Y/N,” Yumi whispered.

“Alright, see you guys later,” you said.

“Nice meeting you Jungkook!” Both Yumi and Jimin yelled out as they walked out of the door.

“You too!” Jungkook shouted back and once the door shut behind them, he turned to look at you. “Hungry?”

“Starving,” you grinned. The two of you decided to settle in the living room, and Jungkook emptied the bags that he had brought with him and placed them onto the small table that was placed in front of the couch. 

“Wow, did you buy the entire restaurant out?” You joked as you sat down on the floor. 

“I’m kind of a big eater,” Jungkook chuckled sheepishly. “Truthfully, I could easily eat all of this by myself so I bought extra to make sure that there would be enough for the three of us.”

“Three?” You echoed, breaking apart the chopsticks that had come with the meal. 

“You, me, and the baby,” he smiled shyly. “I know that with pregnancy, sometimes your appetite can change.”

“That’s sweet that you thought of that Jungkook,” you smiled. “It’s true, your appetite can change during pregnancy and I just got mines back after all that morning sickness.”

“I was right on time then huh?”

“Definitely,” you giggled and that was the last thing that was said before you both dug into the food.

“How was your day?” Jungkook asked as he slurped up some noodles and you chuckled before answering him. 

“It was ok,” you shrugged. “I’m still a little sore from the tournament last week so I’ve kind of been laying around and then Yumi and Jimin came to see me. What about you? How was yours?”

“Good, good,” he nodded enthusiastically. “I did the photography for an event this morning and then I decided to get lunch for us.”

“Sounds entertaining,” you chuckled as you took a bite of samgyeopsal. 

“Eh,” he muttered. “Oh, I uh...also talked to my parents today, and I told them about the baby.”

“Really?” You wondered with a raised eyebrow.

“Are you upset?”

“Of course not,” you shook your head instantly. “How did they take it?”

“Considering the situation, pretty well I think,” he explained. “They’re pretty modern given their age though, so I didn’t think they were going to be super upset. They did say that they would like to meet you soon though.”

“Ok, we can do that,” you agreed easily. 

“What about your parents?” He questioned. “Have you told them yet?”

“No,” you huffed. “They’re extremely traditional and I know that they won’t react well to me not being married.”

“Are they married?” He asked.

“They just celebrated their 32nd anniversary in January,” you replied. “My mom is super religious and my dad is a stickler for tradition so if I tell them that their unmarried daughter is having a baby with a man seven years younger, they’ll have a heart attack, so I’ll tell them eventually but just not yet.”

“That’s understandable,” Jungkook murmured and the two of you continued your meal with small talk passing in between. 

Once the two of you were finished and had cleaned up, Jungkook opened up his bag and pulled out a small box.

“I got something today,” he said as he passed the box over to it and you didn’t hesitate to pull the top off of it and inside were the smallest pair of green Nike’s sneakers that you had ever seen in your life. 

“Jungkook, these are so cute!” You gushed as you reached inside and pulled out one of the shoes, examining it. 

“I noticed that you prefer wearing Nike’s when you play and after I got the food, I saw these in a shop window and just had to get them,” Jungkook told you. “They had a few different colors but since we don’t know what you’re having, I thought green was a good unisex color.”

“It is,” you nodded, tears welling up in your eyes as you looked up at him. “They’re amazing.”

“Then why are you crying?” He wondered as he reached out and wiped away the tears that had fallen down your cheeks. 

“Hormones,” you blurted, making him laugh. “Seriously, I love them.”

“I’m glad. I wanted to show you that I’m serious about this,” he muttered.

“I see that, and I appreciate it so much,” you assured him. “Thank you.”

“You’re welcome,” he smirked, leaning forward and kissing you gently.

Kitty|Aizawa x Adult! Reader PART FOUR

Sum:You and Aizawa start preparing for the bun in the oven, but you make one small mistake when going out to the store...

Part Three

It's been a few weeks and now you're about 5 weeks pregnant. The baby bump is STILL not all that noticable, but you could see it if you looked closely.

It has been a big learning experience for both you and Aizawa. Aizawa had to get used to all of your unpredictable mood swings and crazy/weird cravings, etc.

Like one time, you requested that he pick up some baby carrots from the store on his way home from work.

"Why?"

"Cuz I wanna dip them in peanut butter and eat them."

"Why??"

"It's just what the little one wants!"

But he did it anyway since he cared about you. And the little one.

And Aizawa started reading parenting books and birthing videos in his free time with you so you both could be prepared for what was going to come.

While you stayed at home and shopped on Amazon all day. Looking at baby stuff like cribs, diapers, changing tables, etc. For the baby's room.

Luckily you two wouldn't need to move because you guys had an extra room in your house that you were just using as storage. So all you had to do was clear it out and turn that into the baby's room!

Of course you two haven't made any decisions yet because you didn't know what the gender of that baby was yet! But you decided on the colors already! You were going to do Yellow if it was a girl, and Blue if it were a boy. Yellow for the girl cuz that was your favorite color!

-

"Ugh! I'm so bored!" You exclaim to yourself as you stroked Yumi. It was only noon and you were already bored! You weren't craving anything either. "Hm, how about we go out? Just on a nice walk?" You suggest looking down at her.

Yumi meows as she looks at you. "I'll take that as a yes!" You reply and get up. You looked in the mirror and decided no one would notice your VERY small baby bump so you just picked Yumi up and leave the house, locking it on the way out.

While you weren't hiding your baby bump, you decided to find an empty park anyway just to be safe! So you found one and just walked around. It was nice and quiet and peaceful. You were so happy! Especially since it was so warm and sunny out today.

"Such a nice day! This was definitely a good idea! Right Yumi?" You ask looking down at her and she rubs against you purring, as if agreeing.

You giggle and sit down on a bench to just take in the sights, continuing to gently stroke the purring cat in your lap. You just felt so lucky to be here! And soon we'll have another member to add to the family. You think to yourself as you looked down and rubbed your belly.

Little did you know a stalker journalist was hiding nearby and took a picture of you, before sneaking away.

-

You were cooking dinner at the stove in the kitchen when you heard the front door open. Yumi meows as she padded over and rubbed against Aizawa's legs happily. "Welcome home Shota! How was work?" You ask happily as you walked over as well.

But you started to worry as Aizawa didn't reply. He didn't do what he always did when he came home. He didn't respond to your question, didn't pet Yumi, and didn't give you a kiss. You knew something was wrong.

"Uhm are you okay Shota?" You ask worriedly. Did I do or say something wrong? You thought to yourself. That's when Aizawa pulls out his phone before turning it around to show you. "Is this really you, Y/N? Or is it photoshopped?" He asks bluntly and blankly.

You look at it and your eyes widen once you see the picture. It was an article with a stalkerish photo of you sitting on a bench in that park with Yumi. Apparently the picture had the perfect angle that showed your barely visible baby bump. You thought you were safe.

What was worse was the article title.

[Is The Cat Out Of The Bag? Pro Hero Eraserhead's Supposed New "Secretary" Is Expecting! Is It Between Them?]

You couldn't stare at it anymore and you look up at Aizawa again. Once again, his usual expressionless face just stared back. "Is it photoshopped?" He asks again.

You sighed before nodding. "Yes.. but I just went out for a walk! The park was completely deserted! I didn't think I would be spotted! And I didn't think they'd see the bump! You can barely even see it close up!" You start spewing out an explanation.

I REALLY thought I was safe! But now all of Japan knows about our relationship! You think to yourself. And you kept trying to read his expression but it was just blank.

Please just do something! YELL AT ME ALREADY! I know I messed up! You internally scream as you used every ounce of your being to not cry, as you felt tears pricking your eyes the longer you tried keeping his gaze locked with yours. While Yumi just looked between you to and quietly whimpers.

"Aren't you mad..?" You finally manage to squeak out. You couldn't stop your voice from breaking a bit from the question too. "Why would I be mad?" Aizawa asks, finally speaking. "Because I wasn't being as careful as I thought I was?" You ask.

He sighs. "No I'm not mad. Sure, I'm annoyed that all of Japan knows and the press will probably be at UA's gates once again, but I'm not mad at you. I know you thought you were safe. But it's alright." Aizawa explains.

You sigh of relief and allow Aizawa to pull you into a hug. You didn't hesitant to wrap your arms around him. "I'm glad." Your muffled voice calls from his chest.

"Now, let's eat." He says pulling away and headed to the kitchen with you behind him.

[Outside Kiryu and Haruka’s place]

Kiryu: “Well then, I’ll be going now.”

Haruka: “Okay. Ojii-san, call me if you’re going to be home late.”

Kiryu: “I will.”

Kiryu: (Well, I should head on to Kashiwagi-san. I wonder why he asked me to drop by so suddenly?)

----

[Kazama Family office]

Kashiwagi: “. . . you came, Kiryu. I’m sorry for calling you over.”

Kiryu: “No, it’s fine.  . . . your office, it’s fixed. The Jingweon blew it up.”

Kashiwagi: “Ah . . . well I can’t stay in a temporary office forever. This was a rush job. But enough on that.  . . . Kiryu, are you willing to live in Okinawa?”

Kiryu: “Live in Okinawa? Me?”

Kashiwagi: “There’s actually an orphanage in Okinawa similar to your orphanage Sunflower. It’s called ‘Morning Glory’. Your father Kazama is also involved in it.”

Kiryu: “Oyassan . . .”

Kashiwagi: “There are 8 children there now. Unfortunately, the caretaker died.”

Kiryu: “. . . so, you want me to be the caretaker?”

Kashiwagi: “Yes. Would that be fine? Of course, Haruka can come with you.”

Kiryu: “. . . Thank you for your offer, but I’m already taking care of a child.”

Kashiwagi: “Well, I thought I would offer anyway. I’ll listen with an old woman’s heart. Kiryu, are you doing well?”

Kiryu: “What do you mean?”

Kashiwagi: “I’m wondering if you’re making a proper livelihood. Do you have a regular job?”

Kiryu: “No, it’s . . .”

Kashiwagi: “It’s a wall that those who wash their feet of the yakuza hit. I don’t blame you. Not to mention you’re a bit of a celebrity, but you still have to feed Haruka. Being the caretaker of Morning Glory doesn’t pay big, but it’s a stable job. I think it’s a good start to staying away from the gang life’s baggage.”

Kiryu: “. . .”

Kashiwagi: “I’m sorry. I ended up talking a lot. Just think it over for a while.”

Kiryu: “Thank you. Can you give me some time to reply?”

Kashiwagi: “Sure.”

----

[Theater Square]

Kiryu: (Me, a director. I can’t imagine. But, Kashiwagi-san is right. I’m working day-to-day just to get enough money to eat.  . . . I want to take good care of Haruka. Even send her to college.)

Omi Alliance remnant: “There he is! Kiryu!!”

Kiryu: “. . . Omi. The war is over.”

Omi Alliance remnant: “What would you know . . . killing a bastard like you would make a great souvenir. Die! Kiryu!!”

Kiryu: “Tch.”

{Kiryu defeats the Omi remnants.}

Date: “Oi! What are you guys doing! . . . oh, Kiryu.”

Kiryu: “Date-san . . .”

Date: “. . . What’s with that unusual face?”

[People’s Park 3]

Date: “I see. Okinawa.”

Kiryu: “Yeah.”

Date: “So what will you do? Are you taking the position?”

Kiryu: “To be honest, I’m worried.”

Date: “‘I can’t be a kid’s talisman, but I don’t want to make her life harder’. Is that it?”

Kiryu: “What do you think?”

Date: “Is it okay? If you don’t want it, then say no.”

Kiryu: “Eh? No, but . . .”

Date: “Haruka thinks living together with you is more important than having money. So, decide on ‘what do I want to do’ instead of ‘what should I do’.”

Kiryu: “What do I want to do . . .”

Date: “Besides, you might think you’re not suitable, but I think the opposite. I think you’d be good at taking care of children. You’ve become more well-rounded ever since you’ve been living together with Haruka.”

Kiryu: “Really?”

Date: “Heh. I was surprised when I found out that Kazama Shintaro was taking care of an orphanage, so I don’t know if it’s suitable for you or not. I mean, I split up with Assari, and I thought we would be lifetime companions.”

Kiryu: “. . . I don’t know if I should laugh at that joke or not.”

Date: “That’s what I can tell, at least. The story grows longer as you get older. That’s what Saya says.”

Kiryu: “Heh. No, it was helpful. Thank you.”

Date: “See you.”

{Date leaves. Omi Alliance remnants appear.}

Omi Alliance remnant: “Hehehe, you were here all along, Kiryu . . .”

Kiryu: “. . . later. I’m thinking now.”

Omi Alliance remnant: “Okay, then think carefully . . . in the other world!!”

{Kiryu beats them up, then heads home.}

----

[Outside Kiryu and Haruka’s place]

Kiryu: (It’s really late because I got entangled with those guys. Hm? That’s . . .)

{Haruka is playing kick-the-can with two boys and absolutely wiping the floor with them.}

Kiryu: (. . . Haruka. She looks so happy.)

Haruka: “Ah, Ojii-san! You’ve returned? Welcome back!”

Kiryu: “Yeah, I’m back. Are these your friends?”

Haruka: “Yup. They’re Takashi and Ko. I was playing kick-the-can with them. There were many others earlier, but I always win? I’m the only girl here.”

Kiryu: “Heh. Is that so. Was it fun?”

Haruka: “Yup!”

Kiryu: (. . . that’s right. Going to Okinawa is not just my dilemma. Haruka also has school and friends who live here.)

Kiryu: “. . . Haruka. Can I ask you something? Will you be sad if you can’t play with Takashi-kun anymore?”

Haruka: “Eh? That . . . would be sad. But why?”

Kiryu: “. . . no. It’s nothing.”

Haruka: “Ojii-san, you’re acting strange.”

Kiryu: (So far, Haruka’s life has been hard, and she’s been forced to grow up so fast. That’s why . . . I want to protect Haruka’s smile. I don’t want her to feel lonely anymore.  . . . tomorrow, I’ll go to Kashiwagi-san.)

[Kiryu and Haruka’s place]

Kiryu: “Well then, I’ll be off.”

Haruka: “Yup.”

{Kiryu leaves. The telephone rings and Haruka answers.}

Haruka: “Yes, this is Kiryu’s place.”

Date’s voice: “Oh, Haruka. Is Kiryu there?”

Haruka: “Date-san? Ojii-san went out a while ago. Is something wrong?”

Date’s voice: “No, I’m just worried about how he’s been. But he went out . . .”

Haruka: “Yup. For some reason, Kashiwagi-san has an errand for him.”

Date���s voice: “What? I see. Then I guess Kiryu decided that he’ll go to Okinawa.”

Haruka: “To Okinawa?”

Date’s voice: “Yeah, didn’t Kiryu tell you?”

----

[Outside Kiryu and Haruka’s place]

Kiryu: (Well, I should go to Kashiwagi-san.)

Omi Alliance remnants: “Kiryu! You can’t escape!”

Kiryu: “. . . tch. It seems before the problem of Okinawa, I have to deal with these guys first.”

Omi Alliance remnants: “Die! Kiryu!!”

{Kiryu defeats them.}

Kiryu: “Jeez. These guys are persistent . . .”

Haruka: “Ojii-san!”

Kiryu: “Hm? Haruka . . . what’s wrong?”

Haruka: “I just got a phonecall from Date-san. I heard you were going to Okinawa.”

Kiryu: “!”

Haruka: “Hey Ojii-san. What does that mean?! Is that Kashiwagi-san’s errand?”

Kiryu: “I’m sorry I kept silent.  . . . But I still won’t talk about it.”

Haruka: “Eh?!”

Kiryu: “You don’t have to worry about anything, Haruka.”

Haruka: “. . . Ojii-san. By any chance, are you refusing to go to Okinawa because of me?”

Kiryu: “That is . . .”

Haruka: “. . .”

Kiryu: “. . . Haruka. You have a life here. You have school and friends. It’s too selfish to go to Okinawa for my own convenience. I think-”

Haruka: “Stop it, Ojii-san.”

Kiryu: “Eh?”

Haruka: “I don’t want to just be my uncle’s baggage! It’s much harder than breaking up with friends.”

Kiryu: “Haruka . . .”

Haruka: “Hey, Ojii-san. What were you planning to do without me?”

Kiryu: “. . . I . . . . . . I was thinking for a long time. What reasons would I, a former yakuza, have to go to Okinawa and run an orphanage? The income is stable. It will be for Haruka’s future. But above all . . . I want to help children without parents. My father Kazama would want me to guide children as he did with me, Nishiki, and Yumi.”

Haruka: “I see . . . then Ojii-san, I have a request.”

Kiryu: “Request? What is it?”

Haruka: “Let me help my uncle out. I can understand the feeling of a child without parents, too.”

Kiryu: “Haruka . . . alright. Please help me.”

Haruka: “Yup. Ojiisan, let’s do our best together!”

Kiryu: “. . . thank you, Haruka . . .”

----

[Kazama Family office]

Kashiwagi: “. . . I see. Together with Haruka-chan.”

Kiryu: “Yes. We can help orphans together, is what I thought.”

Kashiwagi: “Heh. Kiryu, it sounds like it was quite the conversation.”

Kiryu: “Haruka pushed her position. ‘I also want to help’, she said. She has a life here, but she also wants to help the orphans with me. She said so.”

Kashiwagi: “Really . . . Kiryu, it seems like you found yourself a reliable partner.”

Kiryu: “Heh. Looks like it.”

Kashiwagi: “Then . . . what I asked, about Morning Glory?”

Kiryu: “Yes. I’ll do it.”

[kdramachitchat]

Yumi's Cells Episode 3 Recap - First impressions always count. Yumi and Woong heads out to a homecooked meal restaurant & a frog festival on their first date.

Episode 3 of Yumi’s Cells begins with Yu-mi forcing herself to laugh through Gu-Woong’s awful jokes. Thankfully their coffee is ready and Emotion Cell as livid, with Gu-Woong keeping the conversation flowing by discussing what he’s working on back home. Gu-Woong is a game maker and showed the game about puppies and looks like Yumi is interested.

In Cell Land Hunger strikes. And just in time too given Emotion and the other cells are so tired. Hilariously, Hunger plays the belly pipe which is what causes her stomach to grumble.

Gu-Woong hears this but pretends he doesn’t, tells her it's already dinner time and invites  Yu-Mi to join him at a restaurant of his choice. In fact, she absolutely loves the food there too, downing the dishes. He even let her take the first bite too, he's polite and it seems that Yu-Mi is totally impressed with the food enjoying everything.

This is enough to win over a lot of the cells – except Emotion and Anxious Cell. She keeps her guard up despite Gu-Woong hitting all the right notes. On the otherhand, Anxious Cell is worried about Yu-Mi's blouse getting ruined with the boiling dish that may splatter on her. Before she even took the first bite, Woong is fast enough and gave her a apron. He's a total gentleman. The Cells are impressed that he's considerate, Emotions still dont like him and Anxious does. He has good manners. They both enjoy home-cooked restaurants too which both of them appreciate. Even Fashion Cell likes what he wore its elaborately calculated as a perfect effortless look. Hahaha. Fashion Cell instantly likes him so does the rest of the Cells cept for Emotion.

Well i think first impressions are always the most important. With my second impression of Woong, i love how he ignored the grumble of her stomach to try not to embarrass her he politely solved the situation which is considered a plus point for me. 

After the meal, Woong caught Yu-Mi who's about to pay for their meal but Woong stopped her and tells her that she'll pay, while accidentally holding her hand. The Cells started floating on air like they're on cloud 9.

Woong suggests they go to the park and check out the frogs. The date went so well and she's totally not into the frog festival. Though the Cells are having fun and wants to go but not Emotion. Woong pays for the entrance tickets and the ticket lady mentions that they get a discount if they're a couple. Woong says no and Yu-Mi says they are. Woong ended up surprised. The ticketlady gave them headbands to upload on social media and they'll get even more discounts if they take the headband.

While there, one of the workers asks if they’re a couple. While a bit awkward to begin with, Finance kicks in for Yu-Mi and focuses on how much money she can save if she says yes. Well, one thing leads to another and the pair snap a couple photo together, which Yu-Mi decides to put up on social media.

This act attracts the attention of Ru-Bi, who immediately rings Gu-Woong and asks what’s going on. Woong ends their conversation quickly and keeps his focus on Yu-Mi. Nosy Ruby needs to get her thoughts away from Yu-Mi like she's obsessed with who she dates. Woong tells her that Ru-Bi is weird because she talks to him in 3rd-person and Yu-Mi laughed at his comment. She laughed for real this time, finally. Emotion is pissed and wants to go home, Anxious is worried about Ru-Bi. Woong tells her that he can't really lie and says it like he means it. I like him. The Cells does too, he's honest, polite, considerate. All good factors. Emotion Cell is now impressed and decides not to use the robot doll cell.

With the date going so well and Yu-Mi impressed by Woong's compliments she decided to treat him and buy popcorn. Woong tells her that she doesn't have to be grateful when he told her she's cute its because he's honest. The Cells like him too as long as he doesn't do those awkward jokes and they all approve. Hysterius Cell shows up in Cell land and presses the mood lever down, sending Yu-Mi into a depressive downward spiral. Because of this, she suddenly skips out and decides to go home. This is just terrible. The date was doing so and its all Hysteriuis Cell's fault. For once i'm actually mad at a Cell, i don't think i'm going to like him very much.

Things all got very awkward when they both head home. Woong tried to make her laugh with his dad jokes but Yu-Mi wasn't feeling well and head up to the bus. She wants to save herself from heartache like her past relationships. After the date, Woong sees Saeyi heading home and tells her that he likes Yu-Mi. Once he got back, this terrible parting effected Woong too and he's worried that she's not replying to his messages. Meanwhile, in Woong's Cell land a imaginary Yu-Mi has taken over. Like she's all he's thinking about. Woong waits for her texts and looks like he was about to tear up. He immediately heads online to search reasons for her not replying during their first date. With Hysteria still attacking Cell land, Emotion, Fashion and Anxious Cells reach out to Reason Cell. Reason Cells tell them that Hysteria Cell is afraid that Yu-Mi may struggle and will hurt again. They all find a solution and it's Hunger Cell they can rely on. Yu-Mi looses her appetite, lays down and didn't bother replying to Woong. They don't want to think that Woong was rejected by her.

Jumps to conclusions finding reasons as to why she's not replying. Goes on forums to find comments, he thinks about what he has done during their blind date. He believes it’s his beard.  Even asked advice from Louis and he tells Woong that her not replying means he's dumped. On her way to work, she misses her bus and sits down on the bench seeing the candy that Woong gives her on her back. The lights went back on Cells land after she ate the candy. Yu-Mi eventually messages to let him know she’s okay and had fun. Sigh of relief. So it's definitely a misunderstanding on his part because Yu-Mi fell asleep. Woong decided to shave his beard that morning! Sae-Yi is surprised that Woong shaved his beard with the reason being it's a sign of a man's pride but he didn't give a exact reason for him to do so. It just shows that Woong likes her alot.

Yu-Mi messages Woong and tells him to get to work safetly and Woong is happy. Woong messages back and lets her know that he’s shaved his beard. Hilariously, Yu-Mi ended up confused but really didn't care if he did, thinking it's probably one of his jokes.  Even the Cells are confused thinking it's probably slang or something bad. Fashion Cells takes it literally and is impressed once again.

While on the way to work after the bus, Ru-Bi annoys her once again asks about her date. She needs to stop with her nosy attitude. Yu-Mi is stressed and wants to ignore Ru-Bi, so she skipped the elevator and went up the stairs. The office found out about her blind date and her office mates are being nosy. She's stressed about the situation and so are the cells who are wanting for Ru-Bi to shut her mouth. It's a headache and the cells village is about to blow up. The whole day Yu-Mi hasn't eaten and Hunger Cell isn't doing well.

Woong texting Yumi asking her if she has any plans. After Yu-Mi telling him that she doesn't have plans after work. Woong replies back and asks her out on a dinner date. Before she can even reply, a staff who's in a hurry bumped into Yu-Mi, which led Yu-Mi’s phone to break. Urgh. Can the day get any worst? 2nd date please and poor Woong. Yu-Mi is contemplating on pursuing with him and is letting out her feelings to a co-worker. She's afraid to feel hurt, tells her co-worker that her phone broke because it's a sign of the universe for her to not see him anymore.

Woong seeks council from Sae-Yi and Louis, who checks out the text messages and believes that Yu-Mi wanted to end the conversation because of her sentence structures but he didn’t get the hint, making him look clingy and uncomfortable. As the trio about to head out, Woong stays in and tells Sae-Yi that he doesn't condemn to people telling him what to do and that he's slow-witted. That's just the way he is. He knows himself well.

At work, Yu-Mi feels ill she excuses herself to her boss and decides to go home. It's raining outside and she didn't bring an umbrella.  Ru-Bi follows her out of the building and suggests she ring Woong using her number and let him know. After all her pent up frustration, she let it out on Ru-Bi and tells her it's enough. Ru-Bi says that she's just trying to help because she supports them both. Hysteria Cell on the other hand is enjoying this and wants her to release all her negative emotions.

Yu-Mi admitted that she’s always been alone – and will continue to be alone because that's what makes her comfortable. Can someone give Yu-Mi a hug? As they talk, Woong suddenly shows up with an umbrella. Yu-Mi turns and looks at him with amazement. Her knight and shining armor.

SCHEDULE UPDATE

SCHEDULE TYPE: ONE TIME GIG RESTRICTIONS: Only open to LGC GIRLS SUMMER, TYPE ZERO and V&A members

on SEPTEMBER 7, everyone from LGC GIRLS SUMMER, TYPE ZERO, and V&A are called to a meeting with KIM HYUNCHEOL. there is another staff member standing right next to hyuncheol and he lets the woman call out each individual’s name to hand them a packet containing all of the necessary information.

“i know all of you are busy with your own projects so i’ll do my best to make this as quick as possible. first thing is that i request all of you to open the folder and look through the first few pages.” hyuncheol explains while knowing that each group had their own set of schedules.

LGC GIRLS SUMMER

while the company continues to release more content about the show, it is noted that they will have to spend additional time working on their performances since all of them will be performing the following songs during this year’s family concert.

TIKI TAKA - BAEK HANNA, KOIZUMI TSUKI, LEE YEJIN, MIN SOYOUN, MOON SOMIN

BOOGIE UP - AHN JAEHWA, LEE HANBYUL, LEE MINJI, OH EUNHYE, SON NABI

ICY - GONG HYEJOO, HAN ALLIE, KIM MIA, PONGSAK ARINYA, SEO YURA

WE RIDE - GEUM DANBI, KYO MIYEON, SEO YUMI, YAMASHITA ICHIKA, YANG AERI

on SEPTEMBER 25, all of the girls except YUMI will be at the GOCHEOK SKY DOME early in the morning for rehearsals ( individuals who are participating in the special stages will be practicing there the day before as well ). during the concert, whenever the girls are not performing on stage, they will be in one of the backstage rooms watching the performances with the rest of the lgc girls summer.

TYPE ZERO AND V&A

( important note: because type zero and v&a’s missions aren’t due until SEPTEMBER 18, everything mentioned below is mostly to give everyone a sense of the timeline and ic reference. )

type zero will finish their music performances on the week of SEPTEMBER 12-18. during this time, they are required to continue practicing their title track song, “ONE (MONSTER & INFINITY)” along with “RESONANCE”, which they will practice with v&a. both type zero and v&a are also supposed to learn, practice, and record the following song, “GENIUS”, which will be one of their special stages for the LGC FAMILY CONCERT.

as for v&a, because their debut is coming soon, they will continue to practice all of their songs especially “HIGHER” ( VERSUS ), “BLUE HOUR” ( AGITO ), “RESONANCE” ( TYPE ZERO AND V&A ) since those will be the songs that they will perform in the lgc family concert. like type zero, they will be working on “GENIUS” ( SPECIAL STAGE ) as well. after the lgc family concert, v&a will release their songs on SEPTEMBER 27 and start their music promotions. 

( ooc note: since the trimester change won’t be until october, please assume that v&a will be attending music shows for the next couple of days until the upcoming trimester update! )

for the LGC FAMILY CONCERT, the order of the songs will be:

HIGHER - V&A (VERSUS)

BLUE HOUR - V&A (AGITO)

ONE (MONSTER & INFINITY) - TYPE ZERO

RESONANCE - V&A AND TYPE ZERO

GENIUS - V&A AND TYPE ZERO ( SPECIAL STAGE )

during RESONANCE, there will be an introduction before the performance ( for a general idea, please refer to this video from 0:00-2:18 ). each member from type zero and v&a will form a circle and the camera will pan towards one individual at a time, followed by a line that connects the pair together. the sequence will be based on who joined legacy the latest to the earliest. for reference, that order will be: 

HARU & SUBIN

ALEX & DAEYEOL

JIHO & YUSHIN

MINJUN ( NPC ) & YEONWOO

HANEUL & NATHAN

SHINHA & ISA

AKIRA & JAESUN

JAESUN will complete the order and the group will stand still as the instrumental is played. right after that, all of the lights will dim and it’ll transition to resonance playing.

during GENIUS, there will be photos and clips of the type zero and v&a members displayed on the screen for all of the fans to see. it’ll start off with their baby photos and gradually transition to their various appearances ( eg. variety shows, vlive shows, modeling gigs, etc. ) and behind the scenes ( eg. debut preparations ). at some point in the song, there will be a segment when the screen will switch to video messages and letters that were sent by their loved ones as a surprise to them. type zero and v&a members will be encouraged to turn around to look at them while singing the rest of the song.

on SEPTEMBER 25, all of the members will be at the GOCHEOK SKY DOME early in the morning for rehearsals ( individuals who are participating in the special stages will be practicing there the day before as well ). whenever one group/unit isn’t performing, they will be in one of the backstage rooms with the rest of v&a and type zero to watch the performances.

SPECIAL STAGES

before the meeting ends, the staff member calls AHN JAEHWA, AHN JAESUN, GEUM DANBI, GONG HYEJOO, JI HANEUL, KOIZUMI TSUKI, LEE YUSHIN, MIN SOYOUN, OH EUNHYE, OKAMOTO AKIRA, SEO YURA and tells them to stay in the meantime. the rest of them leave the meeting room along with hyuncheol, who has other matters to attend to.

“with the help of the coaches, we’ve selected all of you to be a part of our special stages. in the past, we usually had vocal, dance, and rap stages to showcase our artists and exceptionally talented trainees. this time around, because v&a and type zero will be our final performances, we’ve decided to include some of the lgc girls and trainees to be a part of these collaboration stages. with the way this concert is arranged, we’ve split the three stages based on the three recurring themes — past, present, and future.” the staff member regurgitates the information that was discussed with the other higher ups.

VOCAL STAGE ( AHN JAEHWA, GONG HYEJOO, JI HANEUL ): all of them will be performing “FALL AWAY” along with KANG WOOHEE, KIM HYUNBIN, and LEE SHINHAE. the vocal stage will be the first performance and during the PAST phase.

DANCE STAGE ( KYO MIYEON, MIN SOYOUN, SEO YURA ): all of them will be dancing to “CLOSER” along with KIM JAEHYUK, PARK HAEMI, and SEO HANEUL. the dance stage will be performed during the PRESENT phase.

RAP STAGE ( AHN JAESUN, GEUM DANBI, KOIZUMI TSUKI, LEE YUSHIN, OH EUNHYE, OKAMOTO AKIRA ): all of them will be performing “ALL IN” along with the original artist, YP. the rap stage will be performed during the FUTURE phase.

because the stages are co-ed, all of them will be participating separately in their groups ( so the girls will be practicing together while the type zero and v&a members will be practicing together ). it isn’t until FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 24 and SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 25 when they will be practicing all together ( including the senior artists ).

when the woman is done explaining all of the details to them, she gives them a warning that even though this is one of the few instances when legacy has allowed co-ed performances to happen, everyone is expected to be professional and follow the usual rules.

the witch: part 1 - the subversion

yuzuru hanyu

[neospacecat]

Just had a dream about Code Lyoko. Basically it was about Xana attempting to try and kill Jeremie in the factory again with his polymorphic specter disguised as Jeremie because Xana thought it would be fitting (and because he's notorious for repetition, I mean how many times has he turned his specter into Jim despite having a variety of options available?). So Xana's specter rides up in the elevator, expecting Jeremie to be up there working on whatever is urgent at the moment. The elevator stops, the doors open, but instead of Jeremie sitting there typing away as usual; it's Aelita standing right in front of him as if she'd been waiting. Before the specter can even get a word out Aelita says "Hi, Xana"

Xana was caught off guard by this. It only took Aelita about one second to figure out his specter wasn't Jeremie. Maybe it was just a guess he could dissuade her from? Or maybe she was just messing with him?

"Don't be ridiculous! I'm not Xana!" replied the specter. Aelita wasn't buying it though and shot back with absolute confidence, "Yes. You are. You're Xana."

Xana ended up so baffled by this that he ended up retreating the specter and calling off the attack for that day. Aelita went back to the Kadic dormitory to tell the rest of them that Xana had been taken care of. They were confused as Aelita didn't elaborate, but let it go since the superscan wasn't picking up an activated tower anymore.

The dream starts coming to a close with them going to an amusement park on Odd's suggestion. Odd ends up ditching them for a cute girl, William and Aelita go roller-skating (because Aelita doesn't know how and William is the only one present that both likes roller-skating and is good enough to teach someone else), and the dream ends with Ulrich, Yumi, and Jeremie sitting next to each other and having this really emo conversation over the biggest basket of fries you could possibly get. I don't really remember much of what they were saying, just that it was about some pretty depressing topics.

Everything was normal.

Eisuke did not like normal. That morning when she came into work, Haruka acted as she usually would. She greeted him good morning, made him a cup of coffee, and went through the tablet to double check the schedule for the day. All was the same except for one thing; she refused to make eye contact with him. She was trying to pretend nothing happened, or trying to forget anything happened at all. But Eisuke could not. He could not pretend they never kissed in the middle of the street outside her apartment. He could not forget how soft her lips were and how sweet she tasted. He did not want to forget that look on her face that was telling him that she wanted him as much as he did her. He could not.

"...change these parts here too. Once you're done, you can send the contract over."

"Alright." Returning to her side of the desk, Yumi looked through the document. She turned to ask Haruka a question only to see her senior being dragged out of the office by her boss. "Haruka...-san?"

He was starting to understand why he hated the idea of her leaving. It was not the fact that nobody else could do the job as well as her. It was not the feeling of betrayal either. Rather, it was the fact that to him, Haruka was more than just an employee. A lot more. He hated seeing her with another man, even when that man was Soryu. If he was to loan her, it would only be for a day and never a second more. He hated seeing another man making her smile or laugh. That sweet laugh of hers was only meant for him, not Baba's cheap jokes. What he hated the most, however, was not having her by his side. A day without her, not being able to hear her voice or see her smile, it was torturous.

With only one thought in mind, Eisuke dragged Haruka away from her desk and to his room. Backing her up against the wall, Eisuke trapped her with his arms and leaned in so close that they could feel each other's hot breath.

"Mr. Ichinomiya...?"

"How dare you pretend as if nothing happened?" Her eyes flickered to a side glance, avoiding eye contact with him but Eisuke would not allow it. He pressed his forehead against hers, giving her no choice but to look at him. "Do you know that you're the only person in this world who could make me feel like this?"

"Mr. Ichinomiya..."

His lips was on hers before he knew it. Whatever she had to say, Eisuke did not want to know. Knowing her, she would try to put distance them. She would say they should keep their relationship professional and nothing else. But they both knew that this relationship had surpassed professionalism a long time ago. They started to see each other differently but neither of them realised nor wanted to admit it. There was no denying now, however.

Knowing there was no escaping from Eisuke, Haruka came to work with her mind set on avoiding the topic of the day before. She could not sleep all night because every time she closed her eyes, the image of Eisuke kissing her would appear. Her heart kept telling her that kissing him was the right thing to do but her mind was saying the opposite. He was her boss, they were never supposed to fall for each other. Eisuke was part of the high class society while Haruka was the lucky pauper who got to taste that lifestyle but would never ever belong. This was never supposed to happen. Yet, with Eisuke's lips pressed hard against hers, she could not bring herself to push him away.

"Eisuke...we can't..."

"Your body is much more honest."

The way she uttered his name, so out of breath and almost like a whisper, it was the most sensual sound. This was the first time she called him by his name; he was always 'Mr Ichinomiya' to her. Eisuke had no idea how much power she had over him just by saying his name but it pushed him over the edge. With one arm wrapped around her waist, he threw her on the bed and climbed on top of her. He traced his finger along her jaw, tilting her chin up to continue the kiss though they both knew this was heading toward more than just that.

As it would happen in the movies, Haruka's phone that fell out of her pocket started ringing. Before she could get to it, Eisuke swiped it onto the floor. True to her personality, she tried to get out of bed though he was quick to have both of her hands pinned above her head. "Don't answer it." It was an order but it was a plea at the same time. She ran away last time, before Eisuke could confirm his feelings and what they were. He was not about to lose her to a phone call.

Despite the death grip on her wrists, Haruka was still trying to wriggle them free. Not wanting to hurt her, Eisuke eventually gave in and let go. He was beating himself up internally. Nobody and nothing in this world ever stood in his way. Whatever Ichinomiya Eisuke, he would get. Any woman would throw themselves at him if he so much as looked their way but he did not want just any woman. He wanted Haruka. He wanted to hold her, kiss her, and have her in bed. He also wanted to see her smile, to see her happy because of those small ridiculous things that he did not understand. He wanted to have her by his side forever.

"Matsuoka Haruka speaking."

Everything happened so quickly that Haruka was still a little dazed. She had all intentions of pushing Eisuke away, to stop this relationship from developing into something more but her emotions clouded her judgement. Her phone ringing snapped her right back to reality. Answering the call, Haruka stepped out of the room naturally. She leaned against the wall and took in a deep breath to calm herself.

"...hello?"

"Yes, yes, I'm here."

"Good, because I need you. Meet me at the apartment and dress casual."

Still on the bed, Eisuke looked to the door. He never meant to pry, but her phone was ringing off the hook with the same person calling. A man's name appearing on her phone was nothing out of the ordinary. She received calls here and there to help him deal with business. But the name on her screen just now was one that Eisuke had never seen before. Or rather, it was a name he knew of but not associated with therefore, by extension, neither should Haruka. So how did Haruka come into contact with him? And why was he calling nonstop?

Sagara Yosuke.

Who was he to Haruka?

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

When she was a child, the theme park seemed like a paradise. There were rides, food that her mother would never let her eat, and of course the epitome of a child's life of winning a soft toy. She would beg her mother every birthday, every Christmas, and almost every other day. But theme parks were never a place for them. It was a place for families, for those who could afford the luxury of taking time away from work and spending money they were not earning. There were many things that her mother worked hard to get her. There were many things her mother could not give her, no matter how hard she tried.

If she was that five years old girl, the offer to be taken to a theme park would have been exhilarating. At twenty-six and with so much on her mind, however, it was impossible for her to even enjoy the cotton candy she had been longing for since she was little.

"Do you not like theme parks?"

Snapping out of her thoughts, Haruka looked to Yosuke on the other side of the carriage. They were climbing the height as the Ferris wheel was nearing the top but Haruka could barely remember even getting on. "I do," she replied. "I used to ask my mother to bring me all the time but we could never afford it. She didn't have the time either. My first time at a theme park was when I was six, on the day my sister was born. My mother didn't want me at the hospital so the neighbour took care of me. They were taking their kids anyway, so they brought me along."

"Then do you not like the Ferris wheel? Is it the height?"

"I'm not too fond of the height, to be honest."

"But?"

"But what?"

"But that's not why you're making that face."

The time she spent with Yosuke was not long. It was barely enough to get to know someone really. All that he knew about her, he found out in a background check on her. All that she knew about him, was little to nothing. She knew his name, she knew some of his associates, and she knew he was a man with power that was different to Eisuke's but that was still to be wary of. He could read her like an open book, see right through her. A feat that not even Eisuke was this good at. But unexpectedly, Haruka trusted Yosuke enough to be confiding in him. Perhaps it was the fact that he knew pretty much everything there was to know about her that meant she had nothing else to hide. Or perhaps, she found some sort of comfort in him.

"Let me take a guess. It has something to do with that precious boss of yours," Yosuke smiled, treating this like a game. When Haruka kept quiet, his smile widened and his eyes were twinkling from amusement. "Have you finally come to terms with the fact that you've fallen in love with him?"

"Mr. Ichinomiya is just my boss. And I am nothing but just his secretary. We are two very different people."

"And? Has being different ever stopped you from getting what you want? You don't have the qualifications, yet here you are, secretary to one of the richest and powerful men. Does it matter that he's your boss?"

"Do you know how many obstacles I had to get through just to be here today?" Haruka asked. "You don't. The hurdles for my career and those for a relationship with Mr. Ichinomiya are vastly different. The problem isn't that he's my boss, because take that away and we are still two people from two different worlds. He lives in a high class society where everything he sees and touches is the best. I grew up not knowing if we would get a proper meal the next day. I had the chance to taste his life, but that's all I get. I don't belong where he is, nor do I belong with him."

"You're giving up before you even try. Do you know how many relationships I've put together where they come from different places with different backgrounds?"

Thinking back to the double date Yosuke took her on, Haruka could remember how the other woman was pretending to be someone she was not. It did not matter how many lessons Yosuke gave her. It did not matter how expensive her dresses were. She never belonged to the high class society, and she would never belong. How painful must it be to be someone you were not? How lonely would it be, entering a world where no one else understood you?

"But this is not a movie," Haruka stated coldly. "There are no happy endings in the real world. How many of those couples you put together are truly happy with each other? Is the man happy to know that the woman he fell in love with was just someone trained to be who he would love? Is the woman happy knowing that if she was to be herself, he would never have fallen in love? If I really do admit my feelings for Mr. Ichinomiya, there will be nothing but struggles for us. We won't be like the prince and princess in the fairy tale where they lived happily after."

"Do you have so little faith in Ichinomiya Eisuke? In yourself?"

"I have little faith in love."

"Why?"

"Because I've seen it happen. I've seen my mother crying herself to sleep every night, waking up in the middle of the night just to cry again. I've seen her come home exhausted but refused to rest because she was waiting up for him. For a man who would never come. I've seen her making excuses for him, naively believing that he still loved her. Or that he even loved her to begin with. I don't want to be like her."

Behind that beautiful smile of hers, Haruka hid her pain. Yosuke could not help the frown. Although he too had little faith in love, his view on it was not as bleak as hers. He did not believe that he would ever find love for himself, nor was he interested to, but Haruka had completely lost faith. Her mother's failed relationship had utterly destroyed her belief in a relationship that would last. That there was someone out there willing to love her to the end of time.

It stirred something in Yosuke.

~.~

After the Ferris Wheel ride, things seemed to be a little awkward between them. She could be herself around him, be nonrestrictive about what she could say or do. Still, to have confided in him about something so personal, it felt a little uncomfortable to be around him. She felt exposed. But what irked her was the fact that Yosuke seemed unaffected. He still had that smile on his face, taking her around the theme park and even bought them snacks. Somehow, she did not feel irritated with him but rather, she was glad he was acting like so.

Digging into her ice cream with the small plastic spoon, Haruka looked over to Yosuke who was simply watching her eat the ice cream while his was melting in the cup. As she continued eating, Yosuke suddenly reached over and pressed his thumb against the corner of her lips and wiped. He then brought his thumb to his lips and licked the ice cream off with a smirk.

"That was really unhygienic," Haruka pointed out.

"Did that not get your heart going?"

"Definitely not."

"Looks like the movies were wrong. I'll have to note this for my clients."

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

He could not concentrate.

He tried distracting himself from his thoughts, turning to his work that would usually focus him but nothing worked. His mind kept wandering back to Haruka and thoughts of her with another man kept rolling in, frustrating Eisuke further. He never liked the thought of her with someone else, especially when it seemed like she was a lot more comfortable with them than she was with him.

Around Eisuke, she was always cautious. She would stand a feet away from him, only getting close to show him something. She had a special smile for him but it was a polite business one. He had seen her smiling so brightly around Baba and Ota on more than several occasions. Everything that she did for him, she did for her job. Perhaps their relationship was not as special as Eisuke initially thought it was.

A knock on his door interrupted his thoughts. Opening the door slightly, Yumi poked her head in first to do a little recon, mainly to see if Eisuke was still in a mood. While a smiling Eisuke was as rare as a super blue moon, even Yumi could tell that he was particularly pissed that morning. She did her best to avoid him, making sure that she made absolutely no mistake so he would have nothing on her. Unfortunately for her, when she did not look for trouble, trouble came looking for her. An hour ago, Eisuke gave her a name and told her to look everything up on the person. Now was the time to present her find although, she was pretty sure Eisuke would not be happy about it.

"Mr. Ichinomiya," Yumi greeted. "Um...you told me to look up a...Sagara Yosuke?"

"And? What did you find?"

"Well...his name is Sagara Yosuke and it seems like he's an...investor?"

"That's all you've found?"

The look on Eisuke's face said it all. He was not impressed. It was, however, expected. Yumi had seen Haruka do research on many people before. She would usually do the basic Google search and read up on recent articles. If the person was of importance, she would be digging into their social media sites, calling up here and there to get personal information that she could not get anywhere else. Yumi tried to do the same thing.

She searched the name online but little to no articles came up. She tried looking the name up on social media sites but that came up negative. She even tried calling all the contacts she had and asked around about the elusive Sagara Yosuke but not a single person heard of the name, let alone knew who he was. She did her best for the past hour but the limited information was all she could find for Eisuke. She prepared herself before coming in here but there was nothing more she could do.

"He's not exactly the easiest person to find information on," Yumi explained. "I mean...look up Ichinomiya Eisuke and there are tons of articles on you but this man, there's absolutely nothing. There isn't even a photo of him. Oh! I did find something in Haruka-san's files. It seems like he was on the list as potential partners several times but you never chose him. And it seems like he's an associate of Kozaki Taki, the real estate tycoon."

"I know who he is," Eisuke said. "That's all I need."

Summary: Mahiru’s daughter mimics her and headbutts Kuro. (KuroMahi, Fem Mahiru)

“Thank you for watching over Machi tonight, Tsurugi. Everything Machi needs is in her backpack. She already had dinner so you only need to give her milk.” Mahiru told him. She and Kuro wanted to see a play but it was out of town and after Machi’s bedtime. It was rare they could leave the house but Mahiru adored Machi. Luckily, Tsurugi offered to babysit their three year old daughter for the night.  

“We’ll be back in the morning. Papa will bring back a souvenir for you.” Kuro helped Machi take off her jacket. He gave her a warm hug before he looked to Tsurugi. “Call us if anything happens. You should also call Lily since we’re out of town and we might not be able to get back quickly. Don’t give her too much milk or Machi will get a stomach ache. She might wake up in the middle of the night so check on her and read her another bedtime story.”

“Kuro, you don’t need to worry so much. Tsurugi has taken care of Machi before and he knows what to do.” She reminded him. Mahiru understood that he was simply protective of Machi. She didn’t know what she would do if anything happened to their daughter while they were out of town. “We can trust Tsurugi. He won’t let anything happen to Machi.”

“That’s right! Machi is my favourite niece so I’ll protect her.” Tsurugi knelt and then lightly pinched her cheeks. She laughed and copied him by grabbing his cheeks. Playing with Machi reminded him of the time Takuto was a child. He chuckled and said, “Your cheeks are like mochi. Mochi was supposed to be your name but your dad misspelled it on your birth certificate.”

“You shouldn’t tell tall tales like that, Tsurugi.” Mahiru said. Her daughter was at an age where she easily believed what her elders told her.

Tsurugi smiled innocently but she knew better. She trusted him though. He lightly patted Machi’s head. “We’re going to have a lot of fun. You should tell Jun that I did a great job babysitting you. He won’t let me babysit Takuto ever since I lost him in the mall that one time. It took us three hours to find him.”

Kuro’s face paled and Mahiru shook her head. She knew that Tsurugi was merely teasing him and she placed her hand on Kuro’s shoulder. Gently, she pulled him towards her and lightly bumped their foreheads together. She felt a tug on her skirt and she looked down to see Machi. Her daughter tilted her head and asked, “Why Mama headbutt Papa?”

“Sometimes, Papa overthinks things and he needs a little reminder that he doesn’t have to worry so much. When we’re together, everything will be okay.” She explained. It was a habit they started after she entered his mind and learned about his past. Mahiru lifted Machi into her arms and lightly rested her forehead against hers. “It’s my way to tell him to stop worrying.”

“Mama can send secret messages to Papa when you headbutt him?” Her eyes widened with awe and Mahiru giggled. Machi’s interpretation of the world was endearing and she loved her imagination. Her tiny hands cupped her face, “Does Machi have a superpower like Mama?”

“You’re a very special cat to us.” She said and kissed her cheek. She handed Machi to Tsurugi but her heart felt a little heavy. They would only be gone for a night but Mahiru would miss Machi. Reading to her daughter was an important part of their day. “We love you, Machi. Have a fun day with Uncle Tsurugi. We’ll be back in the morning. Goodbye.”

“Bye, bye.” She said and waved to her parents.

“Have a fun night, you two!” Tsurugi added and walked with them to the door. The two were dedicated parents but he thought they deserved a relaxing night. He couldn’t help but tease them. He patted Kuro’s shoulder and said, “You two are going to have a romantic night after a long time. Should I talk to Machi about being a big sister?”

“Tsurugi! You can’t say things like that in front of Machi.” Kuro quickly covered Machi’s ears. She was oblivious while her parents were blushing. Machi motioned to her father and stretched out her hands to him. He didn’t hesitate before he walked to her and took her hand.

“Papa worrying again?” Machi asked. Before he could reply, she slammed her forehead against his nose. He flinched in pain but he stopped himself from yelling. The headbutt hurt Machi as well and she started to cry. Kuro immediately jumped to comfort her and he rubbed his thumb over her forehead.  

“There, there, Machi, I will make you feel better.” Mahiru tried to soothe her as well. She kissed Machi’s hair. “You’re a special cat but you won’t be able to use that magic trick until you’re older. No more headbutting people. It’s better and simpler to talk with others about what’s on your mind. Okay?”

“Okay.” She nodded. Mahiru kissed her goodbye again.

“Date night is a fun change of pace but I missed Machi a little.” Mahiru said as they parked in the driveway to pick up their daughter. In the corner of her eyes, she saw Kuro nod in agreement. She took his hand and lightly swung it between them. “It’s eight o’clock so Machi will be waking up about now. Do you think Tsurugi made Machi breakfast yet? I want to make her a special breakfast.”

“If you offer to make pancakes with strawberries, Tsurugi wouldn’t mind if you took over breakfast. He might charge you a fee for using his kitchen though.” They both laughed at his light joke. He stopped in front of the door and pressed the doorbell. Tsurugi didn’t answer immediately and Kuro became worried when he heard a loud crash. He tried to peer through the window to see inside but he couldn’t see much.

The two were confused when it was Yumikage who answered and not Tsurugi. “Thank goodness, you two are back! Tsurugi called us for help but we couldn’t stop her.”

“Did something happen?” Mahiru quickly stepped into the house and glanced around the foyer. She rushed to take off her shoes and ran into the house. It was a mess. She couldn’t guess what happened but she found Machi sitting on the fridge with a large smile.

“Mama! Papa!” She waved to them with a large grin. Kuro stood in front of her and helped her down from the fridge. She giggled and hugged him. “Machi was a good kitty.”

“I’m sure you were.” He patted her head. Kuro noticed that Tsurugi, Jun and Yumikage all had bruises and bumps. On the other hand, Machi was completely unharmed. She smiled and nestled against his shoulder. He turned back to the three. “What happened here?”

“Machi wanted to play tag and I called Yumi and Jun to join us. She would headbutt us instead of tagging us. Are you sure Machi isn’t a vampire? She’s strong.” Tsurugi groaned and rubbed the bruise on his forehead. “We never had this much trouble with Takuto.”

Kuro looked down to Machi who was innocently humming and playing with the bell around his neck. He couldn’t picture her causing so much trouble. He thought that the three were exaggerating and said, “Machi has a lot of energy first thing in the morning. I should’ve warned you last night.”

“That’s an understatement.” Yumikage groaned slightly. “She accidentally ran into the wall and there’s a hole in it now.”

“I’ll make breakfast for all six of us.” Mahiru offered. She stopped when Machi reached out to her. She stood next to the two and her daughter pointed to her forehead. Mahiru understood what she wanted and lightly rested her forehead against hers. “I got your secret message. Mama and Papa love you too.”

“Yeah!” Machi cheered and clapped her hand. “I practised Mama’s special headbutt technique.”

“That’s good but I told you not to headbutt others.”

Hide - The Beginning

Song Request: School Life - Stray Kids

The sound of my alarm goes off and surrounds the whole room. Somehow, I managed to lift my hand to turn it off lazily, but that didn't stop it. I kept on resisting, still tired from watching too many KDramas the night before.

"Good morning, sunshine!" A loud voice erupted from my front door.

"Shut up, Jeonghan," I mumbled, loud enough for him to hear. "It's much too early for you to be here."

"Early? What do you mean early?" Jeonghan chuckled. "You only have forty minutes to get ready for school."

I bounced up and scolded him for not telling me sooner. I grabbed my towel and ran to the bathroom. After around 20 minutes, I was done and fully-dressed. I didn't usually put on makeup but since it was the first day of school, I decided to put on powder and a light dab of liptint. I raced to my living room, seeing Jeonghan sitting on the sofa comfortably. As soon as he saw me, he got up and grabbed my arm.

"Let's go!"

•••••

Today is my first day of school. I'll be attending my dream school, The School of Arts and Entertainment in Seoul (or more popularly known as SAES), for the very first time. I had a really tough time in my old school as a freshman, so my mom let me transfer schools. She wanted to make up for all the things that had happened to me on my first year, that's why she took me to my dream school.

I found out about SAES when I was in ninth grade. They went to my school to introduce their own school to those who could be interested. One of the speakers was a student from JYP class - Nichkhun Buck Horvejkul. He seemed unreal to me. He is too handsome for a human being. His aura was too high class. But what attracted me the most was his wise words. He was a great speaker and he kept on saying inspiring quotes. What separated him from other speakers was the fact that his speech was clearly unscripted. His words have completely captured my heart.

I decided to enter SAES for high school without any doubts. Me and my best friend, Yoon Jeonghan both took the entrance exam. He effortlessly passed, but I didn't. I was late for the test and didn't even get the chance to answer at least half of the questions. Entrance exams for transfer students had an expensive fee to pay, but my mom worked hard to get enough money for it. I couldn't thank her enough. Because of her, I was now at SAES, my one and only dream school.

•••••

As soon as we got to the school's quadrangle, a large group of girls started to surround us. They kept calling on Jeonghan, asking him to sign autographs and such. Much worse, others were begging him to be their boyfriend.

"Didn't know you were popular," I whispered to Jeonghan. He just laughed in reply. I wiggled out of the crowd, not wanting to be part of it.

"Y/N, don't leave me!" He overreacted.

Instead of helping him, I decided to just walk away and pretend to not know him. It'll be a struggle if his fangirls find out.

I stared at my class schedule and looked around for my first class. I was too focused on the piece of paper in my hand that I didn't notice the voice beside me. On his probably fifth time calling me, I finally looked up at him.

"Hi," he began with a smile revealing his adorable dimples. "I'm the school council president Kim Namjoon, but most people just call me RM. I rap. Also, I'm a junior from Class Bighit."

He held out his hand for a handshake and I gladly accepted. I bowed to him and apologized for my carelessness earlier.

"No, it's okay. Are you new here?"

"Yes, actually. I'm a sophomore from Class JYP."

"Oh really? I have a friend from there, but he's a junior. C'mon, let me take you there."

He led the way and I followed him. It was awkward walking alongside Namjoon-sunbaenim since heads turned to look at us everytime we passed by the hallways. Not much time later, we reached the classroom.

"Thank you so much, sunbaenim. I hope I can repay you for your kindness." I said with a ninety-degree bow.

"No, it's good. That's what I'm supposed to do."

"Namjoon-ah, who is this?" I turned around and saw the one but not only Park Jinyoung PD-nim. My heart pounded fast with nervousness. This was the first time I got to see him face to face.

"Oh, Mr. Park, this is..." Namjoon-sunbaenim turned to me. "I haven't got your name?"

"I'm Y/F/N. It's an honor to finally meet you, PD-nim. I'm a fan." I bowed to him. He beamed and soon after, he and Namjoon-sunbaenim bid their farewells to each other.

"Are you the new student?" PD-nim asked as I nodded in reply. "Let's go inside."

Being escorted by really special people today feels really weird and uneasy, but I guess it helped me feel welcome.

I followed JYP PD-nim to the classroom, where he had me stand in front with him.

"Class," the class settled down when he spoke. "This is Y/F/N. She is our new student. Be friends with her and guide her, okay?"

"Yes, PD-nim," the class replied in unison.

I sat on a free seat near the back. To my right was a brown-haired boy with chubby cheeks and on the other side was a black-haired girl with spectacles. I didn't feel good on my seat because the guy kept staring at the girl. In front of me was another girl with slender eyes and behind me was a guy who looked similar. They were really pretty, to be honest.

I lost my train of thought when the girl beside me tapped my shoulder. I got a better look on her appearance. She was bubbly, but a little timid. She smiled when I looked back at her. Her smile was pure. I like her. She seems interesting.

"Hi, my name's Yumi. I'm a vocal," she excitedly told me. Her smile then dropped as she moved her head to look at the guy beside me. "Jisung-ah, stop looking at the new girl. I know she's pretty, but I'm worried your eyes might pop out."

I turned to the guy I believe was Jisung. He snickered, showing off his adorable smile.

"Shut up, Yumi. I have eyes for only one girl," he said with a cheeky expression.

Yumi whined because she said she still didn't know who the girl he's talking about was. Jisung just laughed in reply.

He held his hand out for me to shake. "My name's Jisung, a rapper. Nice to meet you."

The handshake was discontinued when the guy behind me stole my hand from Jisung's.

"I'm Hyunjin. Dancer. Let's be friends." He smiled with his eyes. His face was much more attractive up close.

"That's rude, Hyunjin." Yumi scolded while Jisung just giggled.

The girl in front of me turned around. She seemed annoyed by the noise.

"You guys, stop bothering Y/N. You're too noisy." Her angry face briefly changed to a soft smile. "I'm Yeji. I'm a dancer."

"Done with introductions, I guess?" Our teacher interrupted. "Settle down, kids. I'm Mr. Lee and I'll be your homeroom teacher for the whole year. It's nice to meet all of you, talented children."

Mr. Lee proceeded to the lecture. I wasn't really able to concentrate properly since Yumi and Jisung kept bickering every five minutes.

This turned out better than I thought. So far, I'm enjoying my stay here at SAES.

Flex, roll through, flex, roll through.

You sat with your legs in front of you repeating the excerise to warm up your battered feet for another day at the grind.

Auditions would be soon and you’d need to be in prime shape for them without any unnecessary injuries preventing you from doing so.

It was your senior year and this would be your last summer intensive before you’d go on to audition to be apart of a company’s corps.

Unable to do anything but grimace at the thought of being a background dancer that stood still for eight minutes whilst the principal dancered their heart away.

And you tried your very best to not get use to all the main roles you received but it was so difficult, you enjoyed the spotlight and you were positive the feeling would never get old, it was so painful but it was worth it when you were in a pancake tutu with a tiara adorning the top of your head.

But more then all of the glamour of being one of the top students was how you enjoyed the artistic aspect, it was always what drew you to dance, the passion you could put into every move, it could just take you away from all your problems, and perhaps that’s why you were one of the well received students.

You weren’t daft you knew technique was the main component in your age group that determined who would get the main role, but then artistry came into play, then they had to see if you physically looked the part and so forth.

Not many girls your age weren’t nearly emotionally developed as you but what they lacked in emotional growth they made up for in their technique.

That wasn’t to say you were awful in the technical aspect, if you were it wouldn’t matter how artistic your dancing was.

Afterall what’s the use in being able to capture the essence of the Black Swans emotions if you couldn’t do 32 fouetté turns?

You weren’t the best technical dancer, but you you were still strong in both aspects.

Gritting your teeth sighing as you stood up tying the plain black chiffon wrap skirt around your waist.

Most days you were only permitted to wear leotards and tights but thankfully for your pointe class you didn’t have to feel so exposed.

A ridiculous word really, you’d think after wearing tights and a leotard for so long you’d get use too it, and you did but falling into comparison was such a difficult thing to not too.

For instance Eui was rather short and much thinner then most of the other girls, simply due to her petit build she had a youthful childlike face perfect for playing a role like Juliet.

“Y/n I can’t stand her! If she doesn’t quit I’m going to strangle her with the ribbons of my pointe shoes!”

...The same couldn’t be said for her ill tempered persona. Raising an eyebrow you looked to her confused before inquiring, “What did Yumi do this time?”

Eui huffed crossing her arms over the cotton maroon leotard before answering, “She keeps giving everyone snarky looks anytime they talk about auditioning for the Swan Queen as if she already owns the part,”

Rolling her eyes before quickly adding, “I swear one of these days I’m gonna “accidentally” grande battement her face,”

You had returned to your sitting position in the lobby as you began putting bandaids on the sides of your feet just below the pinky toe, “...You know she’s gonna get the role right?”

Eui just about spat the water she had been drinking out of her mouth as she hissed at you, “Y/N!”

Quickly you held your hands up in defense as you replied hastily, “I’m just being honest Eui, everyone knows Ballet Master Choi has a soft spot for her and let’s not even talk about the fact that her parents moved to Russia for her to train at Vaganova there’s a reason she’s the leading technical dancer in class,”

You couldn’t stand Yumi either but you had to give her credit, she was- technically speaking- an incredible dancer though you’d never openly admit she took on the bland stony expressions russians often held when they danced.

“Why does everyone think she’s so special just because she goes to Vaganova?” Eui spat out vehemently as she crossed her arms once more, “You know just as well as I do the only reason she’s able to go is because of her daddy and mommy’s money. They moved to Russia. Russia Y/n”

Watching your friend attempt to stress the fact to you but it wasn’t very effective, Yumi didn’t try to hide the fact that she was filthy rich and could easily afford to go to world class schools and academy’s for training.

Of course once her talents were honed she moved to St. Petersburg to audition for the school of Vaganova.

Which is where you had to give her credit, it didn’t matter how much money you had if you weren’t good Vaganova wouldn’t take you.

Sighing as you finished tying the ribbons of your shoes before tucking them in, “I know Eui, she’s rich and it’s fortunate for her that she had money help her get her to where she is but that still doesn’t take away from the fact that she’s a good dancer,”

Eui’s jaw clenched as she looked away from you, perhaps knowing you were right but simply wasn’t willing to admit it, “Come on let’s get into class before Ms Bernard starts harping at us,”

Giving her a pat on the shoulder as you both walked into the large room though Eui went to her spot at the barre broodingly, “Y/n?” her voice is quieter now and you turned around to confused, “What Eui?”

“Don’t you want to audition for Odette? I know Swan lake is your favorite ballet,” Eui questioned and you could see the genuine confusion in her eyes.

You shrugged as you answered, “I do but that means I’d get Odile and call me lazy but I’d rather not have to do 32 fouetté turns en pointe.”

Eui’s gaze sharpened as her eyes squinted sizing you up to see if you were telling the truth, “You and the word lazy don’t even belong in the same sentence you liar,”

Sighing you looked down at your feet allowing your eyes to trace the Capezios your feet adorned, “Whats the point Eui? You know we’re going to being booted all the way back down to the Corps again once we graduate high school,”

“What’s the point? Jesus Christ Y/n? That’s exactly the point! This is your last chance to be center stage before being the person that stands in the back for twelve minutes,” Eui chastised you thumping your head as you cried out rubbing the irritated spot.

Gentlying rubbing your head you coyly looked back at the ground, “What about you? Don’t you want to audition for the Odette?”

Eui couldn’t help but scoff in response, “Me? As Odette? Can you even imagine it Y/n?”

Both of you began quietly laughing at the idea before she continued, “If we were doing Don Quixote you could bet your ass I’d audition of Kitri but we’re not. Maybe I’ll go for the two swans, or maybe the four princesses I haven’t decided yet,”

Nodding solemnly at her answer though you still thought the idea was outrageous, you? As Odette? That was almost as laughable as Eui especially when the odds of you actually scoring the role were so low when Yumi stood in front of you- who was quite literally in front you taking first place leading the barre, “Goodmorning ladies!”

Ms Barnards thick french accent met your ears as you turned back to Eui before quietly speaking, “We’ll talk more later okay?”

Nodding at you before you both turned back to address your teacher.

Today was going to be a long day.

Taking off your pointe shoes was possibly the best feeling, quickly shoving one shoe in the other before tossing them aside.

Letting your toes stretch out from the torture device as you peeled the gel toe pads from your feet before allowing yourself to collapse on the floor.

“Y/n? You know we have stretch and strengthing after this right?” Eui looked down at your tired form,

“Unfortunately,” You answered dryly in response. The one problem with summer intensives was that they were...well intense.

Dancing eight hours a day was no joke and you wanted nothing more then to be in bed, and it was only 10 in the morning.

Sighing you sat back up rolling your tights up to the mid of your calf before putting the rest of your -lack of a better word- accessory’s away.

“It’s co-ed right?” You asked curiously as you untied the knot of your wrap skirt.

Eui looked at you for a minute before sighing, “Do you even bother to look at the schedule?”

Laughing though out of slight guilt you answered as you shimmied into the tight jazz shorts, “It’s our first week Eui,”

Poking her lips out with that infamous ‘really?’ look before Eui caved in with a groan, “God what would you do without me? Yes its co-ed which means boys will be there...”

It was your turn to groan as you lifted your upper lip in slight disgust, “Eui...”

“Muscles and all Y/n, all I’m saying is choose a cute one,” Eui winked excitedly of course she’d enjoy this class.

Co-ed classes weren’t often outside of strengthing classes and partnering. And that’s just how you liked it, boys were distracting and you stood firmly by your word.

Which was ironic considering you would be dancing with boys all throughout the ballet but that was besides the point.

“What if they drop us?” You didn’t mean to spit the sentence out as you picked up your bag before lazily starting to walk to your next class.

Eui snickered at the thought before patting your back, “We’re seniors Y/N, if anyone drops us we have the right to slap them square in the jaw, freshman’s are the ones who should be worrying not us,”

She had a point you were at the highest level in the summer intensives but considering the last time you were dropped you had landed on your ankle it still left a bad taste in your mouth, that injury had you off your feet for nearly a week and a half.

“True but you can never be too careful,” You replied crossing your arms with a raised eyebrow.

Eui only rolled her eyes in return as you began your journey up the flight of stairs, “Then pick the most muscular guy there if the teacher doesn’t assign partners,”

You could only look at her in confusion before asking, “When has a teacher ever assigned partners?”

Groaning Eui answered in disdain, “That time I went to workshop when my family was on vacation in Japan,”

Making a face of sympathy as you both dropped your bags at the new classroom, students were already warming up outside the door way.

And Eui was right, there was no wrong choice to make on who you’d partner with, the class was for stretching and strengthening, which meant you’d be undoubtedly held in the air at some point for the guys.

Dropping your bags as you both kicked off your shoes, reaching for your yoga matt as you had seen so many others doing so.

Follow the crowd as they say, Eui knocked your arm as she said, “See! Plenty of guys and there is no way any of them could drop either of us, they’re all pretty cute too who knows maybe you’ll find a boyfriend here,”

Your head shot up as you snapped, “For the last time Eui I’m not looking for a-“

Fortunately for Eui your sentence was cut off by a sweet voice, “Y/n?”

Turning around too see who was addressing you, though you didn’t remember introducing yourself to anyone, however you stopped in your tracks at the sight standing in front of you.

“Jimin?” Your eyes went wide as your lips parted slightly.

His eyes crinkled in happiness as he suddenly pulled you into a tight hug, “Y/n! It is you! It’s been forever!”

You were caught off guard by his sudden affection but you were happy none the less to return his hug.

Jimin... he looked much different from your memory, he had grown much taller, though technically he was still rather short. His once brunette hair had been dyed a platinum blonde that suited him well.

And of course you couldn’t ignore the well toned chest you were currently pressed against... or the strong arms that wrapped tightly around your waist.

Without even realizing it your face had already been set a blaze, pulling away as soon as the sweet boy would allow you too.

Quickly you took a step back as you nervously laughed, “It’s good to see you again Jimin! I take it your family has finished its business overseas?”

“Yes! It’s good to be home again, I did gain a lot of experience from being in America but... well I think I prefer Korea’s teaching methods better,” Jimin let out a small laugh that was just as adorable as you had last remembered.

You couldn’t help but smile at how happy he seemed as you nodded, “Fair enough, I can assure you not a lot has happened since you left, will you be still be going to the performing arts school for our last semester?”

Jimin nodded once more as he pat your brushed back bunhead, “Of course! Which means we’ll be classmates again I take it? I’ll be in the advanced division,”

“Yes you’ll be seeing me, what do you think I am? A slacker?” You playfully shoved his shoulder, “All jokes aside I’m glad you’re home,”

You allowed your eyes to trail to Eui who leaned against the wall with the biggest smirk on her lips and raised eyebrows, you had to stop yourself from glaring as you quickly turned back to a Jimin.

Taken aback by the soft gaze he placed on you as he replied, “Me too Y/n, come on let’s go in,”

He nodded his head to the classroom which doors had just been opened. Eui however took her chance to strike as she inserted herself between you both, “I’m Eui, you must be Jimin, Y/n constantly talks about you,”

And there it was, that brat was already trying to set you up and you hadn’t even been here three days!

“Oh really?” Jimin for a split second let a smirk play on his lips that instantly had you hanging your head flustered with hot cheeks, “It’s nice to meet you as well Eui, are you both close friends?”

Eui wrapped her arm around your neck as she yanked you close to her, “Practically sisters! Right Y/n?”

You couldn’t find the will to respond as you glanced toward the large mirror with a dead expression.

Jimin only let out a giggle as he pats your hair once Eui let’s you of out her choke lock, “Would you mind if-“

“Jimin! Are we partnering again?” Cut off mid sentence at the all to familiar voice, the three of you turned your heads to Yumi who quickly wedged between you and Jimin.

Looking away while running his hand through his hair Jimin didn’t look particularly thrilled but mustered a small smile, “Of course Yumi. We better get sat down, I’ll see you later okay Y/n?”

And with one last sweet smile Jimin was dragged away by perhaps your worst competiton, could the day get any worse?
