“  —  care  to  explain  to  me  what  the  hell  is  going  on?”  jongin  isn’t  foolish  enough  to  not  understand  the  concept  of  media  play,  but  this  is  crossing  the  line. / @artisn

[fadinglights]

continued from here, @d2rling

jongin  desperately  wants  to  believe  her  —  that  this  means  something  to  her,  beyond  fleeting  excitement  and  temporary  solace.  that  he  means  something  to  her,  something  important  enough  for  her  to  not  want  to  lose.  “would  you,  though?”  he  asks,  a  sad  smile  tugging  at  his  lips  as  he  contemplates  his  path  forward.  “you’re  never  going  to  leave  him  for  me,  are  you?”

Wishlist starter for @fadinglights || Pedro and Hyeon (inspo)

When the familiar face entered the room, Pedro felt his stomach twist. There was a brief moment of confusion, unsure of why he would be here, but suddenly it hit him. It had been four months since their relationship ended, and he had been so damn busy with work, burying himself in it to forget, that he also forgot to change the emergency contact in his cell phone. Shit...

"Hyeon... What are you doing here?"

jongin: sweetheart, are you on drugs?

daphne: I know you are but what am i

“i'm  not  crossing  a  line.  you  are.” / @artisn

[fadinglights]

panic  rises  in  joonwoo  when  he  hears  the  door  unlocking,  alarms  blaring  in  his  head,  even  though  he  was  previously  lost  in  his  boyfriend’s  doting  kisses.  the  panic  dissipates  as  soon  as  he  realises  it’s  not  a  stalker  but  his  brother,  interrupting  him  at  the  worst  possible  moment.  “hey  —  how  many  times  have  i  told  you  that  you  can’t  just  barge  in  like  that?  this  isn’t  your  apartment.”  he  complains  with  crossed  arms,  after  untangling  himself  from  the  embrace  and  shooting  seojun  an  apologetic  look.

squinting  to  shield  himself  from  the  sight,  jongin  takes  a  moment  to  gather  his  thoughts.  “i  wouldn’t  have  to  come  if  you  hadn’t  stolen  my  hiking  gear.  plus,  i  texted  you  that  i  was  coming  to  get  it  —  it’s  not  my  fault  you  never  check  your  messages.”  he  reiterates  quickly  before  finally  addressing  his  brother’s  flustered  boyfriend  with  an  awkward  wave.  “seojun,  right?  nice  to  meet  you…  all  things  considered.”  if  only  he  could  go  back  in  time  and  talk  himself  out  of  driving  here  impulsively  twenty  minutes  ago.  “i  hope  you  know  you’re  dating  a  shameless  thief.”

[fadinglights]

“you  want  me  to  pretend  to  be  your  boyfriend?”  jongin  has  heard  it  with  perfect  clarity  the  first  time,  but  he  feels  the  need  to  repeat  it  again  nonetheless.  he  certainly  didn’t  see  it  coming  when  he  found  her  knocking  at  his  door.  he  doesn’t  bother  to  hide  the  amusement  that  flashes  in  his  eyes.  he  leans  back  against  the  doorframe,  his  eyebrow  raised  at  the  other  as  he  regards  her  curiously.  “and  you’re  saying  that  being  my  genuinely  charming  self  isn’t  enough  to  please  your  relatives?  i’m  offended.”  he  complains  yet  his  tone  remains  nonchalant.  “what’s  in  it  for  me?”

"FOR ONCE, CAN YOU BE on your best behavior and pretend to be someone you're not?" Mavis knew that she was asking a lot from them. She didn't want to go to a relative's wedding single. She hated entertaining questions asking her why she was single, or the worst one, when she was getting married. It was unfair that her twin brother didn't get the same inquisitive treatment.

it  has  been  a  while  since  the  siblings  have  lived  under  the  same  roof,  but  unfortunately  an  obsessive  stalker  is  a  rather  valid  reason  to  have  to  seek  help  from  jongin.  "i'm  curious,  what  do  you  see  in  him?"  joonwoo  asks  with  a  playful  glint  in  his  eyes,  as  he  twirls  another  forkful  of  pasta  before  his  eyes  settle  back  on  his  brother’s  latest  girlfriend.  "blink  twice  if  you  need  help."

jongin  lightly  smacks  his  brother's  head,  frowning.  "you  dare  asking  me  for  a  place  to  stay  and  then  trash  talk  me  in  my  own  apartment?  say  one  more  word  and  i'm  sending  you  right  back  out  on  the  streets."  he  turns  to  his  girlfriend  with  an  apologetic  smile.  "clearly,  he's  the  real  bully  here."

[fadinglights]

"would  i?  that's  quite  a  confident  statement."  perhaps  a  bit  too  confident.  "i  happen  to  only  support  actors  and  actresses  who  can  actually  act.”  having  worked  with  so  many,  jongin  considers  himself  an  expert  judge  capable  of  discerning  between  lies  and  the  truth.  "i'd  love  to  see  you  try."

"there wasn't a single lie in sight." erin scoffs, rolling her eyes. though of course, she knew otherwise. "if i had, you definitely would've been my biggest fan." she cracks a smile. "there's still time for me to get an oscar if i really want it."

ೃ⁀➷ New Year, New Me

ೃ⁀➷ This community has changed a lot over the years and things are not what they used to be, which is how everything goes, isn't it?

From now until Valentine's Day, I'll be using all my muses as I have made some posts for all of them but there will be some changes after that simply to make things better for me.

Tag lists are now strict. If you aren't willing to provide equal effort in terms of interaction - do not tag me.

Things will be done when I'm able to do them. I understand that reblogs and DMs take a little while but I do try and get through things before the month is over.

Ask games > posts. I will probably post an update once a month or if there's a plot/special update. Right now, this is easy on me and less stressful.

Interactions are important especially for those considered special. If you are considered a special person to a muse and you don't interact in any way or become inactive, eventually you will stop being tagged and then removed. This is something I didn't really do in the past but if I've waited 3-4 months for you, it's only fair. This doesn't affect DMs, those work differently.

Time limits on dash. Posts that are older than 3 months will not be interacted with, this mostly applies to reblog threads.

While all my bots will continue to run as they have been, even with these new changes being made, the biggest change is coming to @clubwnderland.

Clubwnderland will be separated and the muses who are not heavily involved in Wonderland will be either removed, changed or given their own accounts.

Irene, Chan, San, Juyeon, Jongin and Jangmi will remain on the original bot with minor changes happening to their profiles and posts.

Moonbyul, Johnny, Kai, Chris, Seonghwa and Mingi will get their own bots but will remain the same. They are still associated with Wonderland. Changes will be done before Valentine's Day.

Seohyun, Eunwoo and Jeno will potentially have complete changes and new bots including new face claims and concepts. They will no longer be associated with Wonderland. Changes will be done before Valentine's Day

Yangyang, Alice and Ryujin will be removed from the account by Valentine's Day.

Depending on how things go over the next few months, some bots may be limited to a select few and maybe be quieter than other bots.

There may be certain changes to all bots but nothing major and all will be shown when done.

Basically, I'm doing what is good for me. For those who will be dealing with changes in those that they are talking to, I will reach out in the next few weeks and speak to you so that you are up to speed.

Happy New Years everyone, hope the year treats you well and thank you for coming to one of my final updates.

Nocturnal Reverie ch.6 [PCY]

pairing - chanyeol x fem reader

genre - mature, smut, angst

themes - power imbalance, romance, crime, justice, class divide, politics, sex

synopsis - In the sprawling, dystopian city of Emberhaven, where power and corruption reign supreme, the lives of two unlikely individuals collide in a tale of passion, intrigue, and moral reckoning. Chanyeol, an enigmatic and wealthy scion of the city's elite, finds himself captivated by the elusive Y/N, a cunning and resourceful thief who navigates the treacherous underworld of Emberhaven. Their first encounter, sparked by a chance meeting in a luxurious club called The Velvet Lounge, sets the stage for a whirlwind romance amidst a backdrop of crime, politics, and danger.

warnings - none for this chapter

A/N - Is it time for a fresh character to be thrown into the mix? Methinks yes! More questions, more turmoil, more dilemmas, more tension can only mean one thing - answers that can make or break our characters and their relationships.

Chapter six - Threads of Deception and Dilemmas 

Y/N stumbled through the dimly lit, rain-soaked streets of Emberhaven. Blood oozed from the wound in her shoulder, staining her jacket. With each step, the pain seemed to intensify, and her vision blurred at the edges. She knew she needed help, but her options were limited. In a city overrun by corruption and crime, who could she trust?

With a trembling hand, she reached into her pocket and retrieved a burner phone, her last lifeline. Jongin's number was the only one that mattered now. She sent a brief, desperate message explaining her situation, praying that he would respond quickly.

Jongin was a name she had known since childhood, a friend who had stuck with her through thick and thin. Though he was known for his charming demeanor, he held a unique place in Y/N's life. He was her one trusty friend, her confidant in this dystopian city. His infectious smile could light up any room, but beneath that friendly exterior lay a man who knew how to put others in their place, especially in the world of business.

As the rain fell in relentless sheets, Y/N finally received a reply from Jongin. He promised to send his men to her location and offered refuge in his hidden sanctuary. It was a risky choice, but she had no other. She could almost feel the cold breath of the law closing in.

Minutes later, a blacked-out car pulled up beside her, and two of Jongin's well-dressed men stepped out. With gentle but firm hands, they guided her into the vehicle. As they drove through the labyrinthine streets of Emberhaven, Y/N's thoughts swirled with doubts. Did Chanyeol recognise her? Does he know hate her because he now thinks that she is associated with Lucio in his crime dealings?

Upon arriving at Jongin's residence, the opulent, vintage decor and the exquisite furnishings hinted at his love for the finer things in life. He had a knack for making the old look new, and the luxurious seem classic. He had made a name for himself in the city's elite circles, where everyone knew him by the name 'Kai.'

As they entered his domain, Y/N could see him tending to a collection of vintage jewelry. He looked up at her, his usual smile replaced by a mix of surprise and concern as he took in the sight of her injuries.

Y/N felt her strength waning as she tried to speak. "I ....need.... your hel-," she managed to whisper, before her world went black.

Jongin knew he was now entangled in something beyond their usual business dealings. As he tended to her wounds, he couldn't help but wonder what had brought this mysterious thief to his doorstep. With every passing moment, Emberhaven's shadows grew deeper, and secrets became more dangerous.

As Y/N recounted the events of the previous night, she could see the concern in Jongin's eyes. His once warm smile now held a hint of worry.

"So, you managed to grab the money and the eggs before making your escape," Jongin summarized, his brow furrowed. "You're lucky you had that wig on. It might buy you some time."

Y/N nodded, relieved that Jongin understood the gravity of the situation. "Yes, I should be able to blend back into the city for a while. But there's something else, Jongin. I'm worried that one of the men with the police who was there might recognize me. His name is Chanyeol, but I don't know his full name."

Jongin's expression shifted, a glint of something unreadable in his eyes. "Chanyeol, you say?"

"Yes, he was... different. We had a connection of sorts, and I'm afraid he might have recognized me," Y/N admitted, her voice tinged with uncertainty.

Jongin's mind was racing. He knew of Chanyeol, knew that name all too well. The pieces were starting to fall into place, and he wondered just how tangled Y/N's life had become. But he couldn't reveal too much, not yet.

"Well, let's focus on keeping you safe for now," Jongin said, masking his inner turmoil. "We'll need to arrange a fake identity for you, something that will hold up under scrutiny. It'll take some time, but I have the right people for the job."

Y/N nodded, grateful for Jongin's support. She trusted him completely, knew that he would do everything in his power to help her. They continued to discuss their plan, but in the back of Jongin's mind, there was a growing unease. Chanyeol's presence in Y/N's life could complicate things in ways they hadn't foreseen.

As they strategized, Y/N couldn't help but notice the change in Jongin's demeanor. There was a tension in his features, a subtle shift that hinted at deeper secrets. She knew there was more to his reaction, but for now, she would trust him and rely on his expertise.

Little did they know that the threads of their pasts were interwoven in ways they couldn't yet fathom, and that the city of Emberhaven held secrets that were far more dangerous than they could imagine.

Two days later, after Y/N recuperated under Jongin’s careful watch and care, he offered to drive her home. As Y/N's home came into view, Jongin pulled up to the curb, bringing his car to a smooth stop.He turned to Y/N, a mixture of concern and determination in his eyes.

"Remember, Y/N, call me if you need anything. Anything at all," he emphasized, his voice filled with a protective edge.

Y/N smiled gratefully, touched by his unwavering support. She leaned in, giving him a warm hug. "Thank you, Jongin. You've always been there for me."

They held the embrace for a moment, cherishing the connection that had stood the test of time. As they pulled away, Y/N planted a gentle kiss on Jongin's cheek, her affection for him evident in her eyes.

Jongin watched as Y/N made her way to the entrance of her building. He waited until she was safely inside before reaching for his phone. Dialing a number he knew by heart, he spoke in hushed tones, his voice carrying a weight of secrecy.

The conversation was brief, punctuated by nods and affirmations. Jongin was a man who knew how to keep his own counsel, revealing only what was necessary. As he ended the call, a sense of purpose settled over him.

Returning to his car, a meticulously restored Aston Martin DB5, a  classic that exuded both power and elegance, Jongin took a moment to collect his thoughts. There were layers of intrigue in Emberhaven, and he had just scratched the surface.

With a determined set to his jaw, Jongin started the engine, the purr of the car resonating through the quiet street. He pulled away from Y/N's building, leaving behind an air of mystery that clung to fumes from the exhaust pipe. As he navigated the darkened streets of Emberhaven, he knew that the path ahead would be fraught with danger, but he was ready to face it head-on.

The bell above the cafe's entrance tinkled as Chanyeol collected his steaming cup of coffee. The rich aroma enveloped him, but his mind was preoccupied with thoughts of Y/N. He stepped outside, his breath forming a vaporous cloud in the brisk Emberhaven air. Sipping on his coffee, he gazed toward Y/N's home, hoping to catch a glimpse of her. The memories of their passionate night together and the confusing events at Lucio's warehouse had left him in a turbulent state of mind.

In the distance, Jongin's sleek vintage car pulled up to the curb. Chanyeol's curiosity piqued, and he watched intently as Y/N emerged from the car. The sight of her in the company of this enigmatic man ignited a burning pang of jealousy within him. He couldn't tear his gaze away as they embraced in a warm hug, and the sensation of her lips pressing against Jongin's cheek sent a sharp arrow through his heart.

Hidden behind a nearby pillar, Chanyeol was ensnared by his own emotions. His mind was a battlefield, torn between the passionate connection he felt with Y/N and the confusing circumstances that had transpired at the warehouse. Was this man Y/N's boyfriend, a close friend, or someone linked to the criminal underworld she navigated?

His camera at the ready, Chanyeol snapped a discreet picture of Jongin as he watched them. The city's ever-present aura of mystery had cast a shadow over Emberhaven, and Chanyeol was determined to uncover the secrets that bound Y/N and Jongin together.

As Jongin's call ended and his vintage car pulled away from the curb, Chanyeol remained rooted in place, torn by the conflicting emotions coursing through him. He knew that he had to seek answers and unravel the enigmatic connection that seemed to bind Y/N to the elusive figure of Jongin.

With his heart in turmoil, Chanyeol stepped out from behind the pillar and continued to observe Y/N's building, determined to confront the uncertainty that now encircled their entwined fates in the sprawling, dystopian city of Emberhaven.

The roar of his advanced Ducati's engine filled the underground garage as Chanyeol glided into the sleek, modern apartment complex he called home. The acceleration had provided a momentary thrill, a rush he often sought when the pressures of the dystopian city weighed him down. As he dismounted, the black leather jacket he wore slid from his broad shoulders, revealing the crisp white shirt beneath. His long strides carried him past the rows of cars, each more luxurious than the last.

Entering his spacious apartment, Chanyeol caught a whiff of the comforting coffee aroma that still hung in the air. The expensive appliances and sleek, minimalist furnishings hinted at a bachelor's love for modernity and style. He placed his steaming cup on the counter and let out a sigh of relief, finally free from the day's obligations. His keys, jangling with a satisfying clink, found their place in the decorative bowl by the door. The apartment was a reflection of him — sharp, refined, and perfectly ordered.

The grandeur of the penthouse revealed itself in the sprawling city views and the polished oak floors underfoot. Every piece of art and décor had been carefully chosen to project a sense of sophistication. With a heavy breath, Chanyeol made his way to the bedroom and flopped onto the plush, king-sized bed. His long frame stretched out, arms folded behind his head, and legs splayed out.

His eyes remained closed, and his mind raced with thoughts about the mysterious Y/N. She was a puzzle he was desperate to solve, an enigma that both fascinated and tormented him. He recalled their encounters: the seductive dance at The Velvet Lounge, their flirtatious banter, and the hint of romance that hung in the air. Their connection was intoxicating, and he found himself drawn deeper into her web.

However, the memory of her outside Lucio's warehouse, her connection with the shady figure outside her home, and the chilling realization that his best friend had shot the woman he had undeniable feelings for — it all weighed heavily on his mind. Jealousy gnawed at him as he watched Y/N embrace Jongin, and his gut churned with unease.

Moments later, he retrieved his sleek phone from the pocket of his designer jeans. With careful consideration, he opened the chat window with Kyungsoo, who had become an invaluable ally in the tumultuous city. As he typed, his fingers danced over the screen. He contemplated whether to expose everything about Y/N, theorizing on her possible ties to Lucio and his guilt over wounding her during the raid. The dilemma seemed insurmountable, a turbulent whirlpool threatening to pull him under.

Ultimately, he decided to veil the full truth, preserving a sense of control over the narrative. He sent Kyungsoo the photo of Jongin and spun a web of half-truths, explaining that he had an unsettling feeling about the mysterious man. A palpable tension pervaded the conversation as Chanyeol described his vague suspicions, masking the deeper emotions that gnawed at him.

Five minutes passed, and the familiar ringtone sounded, signaling Kyungsoo's call. Chanyeol pulled himself up off the bed, his movements conveying a mix of restlessness and uncertainty. He answered the call, and the familiar voice of his friend spilled from the phone's speakers.

Kyungsoo's voice was tinged with curiosity, a masterful detective's inquisitiveness shining through. The conversation between them was delicate, with Chanyeol choosing his words with caution. He explained his suspicions, that he had a gut feeling about the man in the picture and his potential involvement in the criminal underworld. Kyungsoo listened, a shrewd investigator ready to process the information. The weight of unspoken truths hung heavy in the air, leaving the conversation charged with unresolved tension.

As he sat on the edge of the bed, Chanyeol couldn't shake the sense of urgency that surrounded him. The discovery about Jongin could hold the key to unlocking the mysteries of Emberhaven and, more importantly, his complex connection with Y/N. He knew the path ahead was perilous, but he was determined to follow it, even if it meant confronting the shadows that lurked beneath the city's glittering facade.

₊˙ ◌ ⁎˚ 〇﹒﹙(kai) kim jongin. cismale. he/him.﹚ guess who was almost late for their shift at mall store again?? that’s right, it was hwang inho! it’s a wonder their job as a salesperson in goyun skate isn’t in jeopardy. the twenty-seven old has been working at sunset galleria for one and a half year, and is well known for their charismatic nature. on bad days, they can be rather stubborn trait, though. when the mall is dead at night, they can usually be found flirting at the vesper lounge but don’t tell their boss! ﹙ zen. twenty-six. they/them. gmt+8. none. ﹚

heylo, this is zen with my rather goofy flirting mess of a puppy! please never take him seriously unless he's in his "professional" zone aka when he skates (or flirts). read more for some tldr headcanons!! like this as well and i'll reach out to brainstorm a thread / if you're interested in any of the prompts

about | plots | playlist | moodboard

basics

surprise surprise, he isn't daegu born actually. he's seoul borne, specifically from the rich residential area of gangnam is where he stayed, but who know what he is up to in daegu

as much as he denies it, he comes from a 'comfortable' position where money is the least of his concerns, hence why he's always been a salesperson aside from the freedom it gives.

because of his passion in skating though, he isn't an absolute shit at his job. in fact, he could best advice what gears you'd need. perhaps even give you a personal training session

he knows he's good looking and uses that to his benefits of course. from sugaring people up to pretending he's an innocent man, he'd work his way in and out to get what he wants

he can be found rather anywhere in the mall if he's playing hanky panky off work. it can be a slow day, so he's off around to flirt and well, to mess with people.

off duty though, you can still find him at the mall where he'd most likely be found at the vesper lounge in which he could definitely buy himself a drink but never will. if you work there then god bless you.

more tba!

prompts i would like to write

given his flirtatious nature, naturally i'd like a fun plot where he flirts with people regardless (he's doesn't label himself with any sexuality or romantic preference), whether it actually works or not we can def discuss that

someone who harbors a silly crush at him just because he's good looking (whose heart he might break, or he would just entertain the silly little crush but never too involved with it)

and naturally someone he breaks the heart of

exes???

that One (1) best friend from another store who he bothers a lot but your muse don't actually consider them as friend (yet would not mind his presence regardless)

someone who hates his flirtatious and charismatic nature. perhaps someone who works in the opposite store to goyun skate and sees the crowd flocking in to the store, wondering how in the world inho could get so many 'customers'. (friendly rival??)

someone who frequents the lounge as much as he does, but inho actually parasites on them for free drinks

one night stand of sorts

a rather fun plot where he gets someones help in purchasing a lipstick colour (ends up in a mess of swatches, or just plain o' flirty kiss jokes)

an alternative friendly rival in which your muse may be trying to dig some dirt to use against inho and to reputation, where he was caught browsing the adult section in the store, though he really was just clumsy that one time and dropped something that fell into that aisle.

lastly (for now), someone he actually falls for and it doesnt work out well in his favor

Core headcanons - 

Hidden talent: Really good with tying knots (not because hes into anything funky, but because of boy scouts)

Treasured possession: A picture reel of him and his pets in the pool (he keeps it in his wallet all the time) 

Deepest secret: He has trouble connecting with people and socializing and he's always self conscious about it (it's the undiagnosed autism)

Best/Worst thing to happen to them: His brother being there for him when he was younger/His parents misunderstanding him  

Random memories: Hysterically crying over one of the chickens pecking him when he was younger not because he was hurt but because “McQueen didn’t like him anymore and now he's sad that he lost his chicken friend,” meeting Byungyu at one of the summer camps of his and becoming best friends, his older brother taking him out of town every time there was a festival so that Yoonho wouldn’t have to put up with the loud fireworks, volunteering at one of the animal shelters just outside of Seoul and slowly falling in love with Moscow and Black Magic before finally adopting them together as they’re the best of friends, Byungyu introducing him to the hidden lakes and ponds in the woods and going swimming in them, 

Best friend/Worst enemy: Min Byungyu/Choi Jongin (not really)

Always knows when it's gonna rain. Always. He's always correct, too (He’s got a pre-awakening knee left injury that aches when it rains plus his animal like senses confirming it)

Agreed! There's something special about escaping to a quieter, more tranquil environment to recharge and reconnect with yourself. Whether it's a weekend getaway to the countryside or a relaxing retreat by the sea, time spent away from the hectic pace of city living can work wonders. Do you have a favorite destination or getaway spot where you like to unwind? Well even if you're tied down in Korea right now, who knows what the future holds, right? Maybe one day you'll find a way to make it your home away from home. Definitely give it a shot if you can snag a taste! Trust me, it's worth hunting down for a sip of that unique flavor. You won't regret it.

Sometimes time away from the hecticness of any city you live in is the best thing for you. You get it! Always finding new things every single time I go has made the repeated trips worth every single penny and nearly made me just move out there if work didn't keep me in Korea! Always have, I think. I'll take a traditional beer here and there but nothing beats those wild drinks. I'll have to see if I can get my hand on that one -- it sounds like it's worth the taste! @mattrcbert
