#CHOC Walk in the Park

[sofiepofie20]

Tsukishima Kei headcanons!

→ bro loves playing with LEGO, so of course he will call u to hang out in his house and u two will build legos together (he won't let u touch the legos and u will just watch while yapping about something and he nods, focused on the legos, pretending that he's hearing u).

→ he just loves when u engage on his yap about some nerdy interest of his and actually pays attention. he will melt even more if u do some research on his interests so u can talk to him more.

→ i have a feeling Kei would have a lot of dinasour stickers that he uses to send texts.

→ he mutes all the groups he's in.

→ he likes to wear grandpa clothes and doesn't give a fuck if he looks old or not. let him wear his comfortable slippers and walk around the house with an old ass sweater. i think he honestly doesn't care about what he wears or not, as long as its decent.

→ Tsukki would get really annoyed whenever someone would start whining to him about some personal problem that they can't solve, even if the answer to their problem is obvious, and he would tell them to think harder (if its someone he's close to, he would give his honest advice).

→ i think bro would like Cigarettes After Sex and calm, melodic songs. he relates to Lemon Boy and listen to some of Cavetown's songs.

→ He has rewatched Jurassic Park movies more than one time.

→ Tuskki likes to read magazines about scientific facts, volleyball and historical facts.

→ bro is grossed out by bugs.

→ i have a feeling that Kei would like cats, or he wouldn't like animals at all, or simply dont care about them.

→ if he was an animal, he would be a desert frog. that one frog that looks like a grumpy ball with arms and legs and squeals when he feels threatned.

→ Tsukki likes indie games and grew up as a Nintendo kid.

→ Kei and Akiteru grew up without a father, because of this, Akiteru felt like he had to be an example to Kei, and lied to not disappoint him. it ended up being much more painful for Kei to know that his brother was as lost as him (his parents divorced when he was still a baby, and his father was not present as he grew up).

→ When he started his second year in high school, Kei became more open with the people on the volleyball team and they became closer (still being the sarcastic prick he is).

→ bro's love language is quality time and acts of service, obviously. gets used to words and touch after some time.

→ he is canonically popular with girls, but he always rejects them all. the thought of dating never even passed through his head, at least not in high school.

→ doesn't swear all the time, just occasionally.

→ Tsukki had a dinasour pajama when he was a kid, and now he hides it in his closet.

→ I think he would like vanilla/strawberry ice cream. bro also likes strawberry shortcake, but he doesn't eat them that often.

→ takes hot baths only.

→ sometimes he applies one of his mom's cream on his hands so they don't get too dry and calloused from playing volleyball.

→ he HATES standing in the sun for too long.

→ he would hate beaches or just be neutral about them.

→ Tsukki loves table games, specially the card ones. he's a master at these.

→ bro would love Saiki Kusuo no psy nan and would relate to Kusuo.

→ has embarassing pictures of Tanaka, Nishinoya, Hinata and Kageyama and plans to use them for blackmail.

→ bro is shortsighted, can't see shit when he takes off his glasses.

→ Has stretch marks because of how fast he grew, and is slightly insecure about them.

→ Tsukki has a weakness for sweets. if u want something and u dont wanna beg, just give him a pastry and he will ask "what do u want?" with an annoyed tone.

→ has a dinasour plushie since he was a kid and now its hiden along with the dinasour pajama.

→ Likes Despicable Me minions.

→ Kei is good at videogames too.

→ He really appreciates his mother for taking care of him and his brother alone. he admires her a lot.

→ Knows how to cook since his mom has to leave sometimes and he can't just starve (makes pretty good chocolate pancakes).

→ bro stutters when he gets mad.

→ He likes Lord of the Rings and the Harry Potter movies.

→ Calls u hobbit if ur close to him.

→ Likes Marvel and DC stuff.

→ Bro learned to play bass when he was a child and never stopped. he likes to play, and sometimes plays in his room. it kinda relaxes him, and it's no secret to anyone that Kei has a strong connection with music.

→ A complete dork geeky nerd (⁠´⁠ε⁠｀⁠ ⁠)

first date

pairing: date with fem!seonghwa

genre: fluff

wc: ??

as you nervously waited for Seonghwa, thinking about the date youd planned and agreed to about a week ago... you couldn't help but feel a flutter of fear at the thought of him hating it

but when he arrived, his smile calming your nerves instantly. he was wearing a small blazer and a dark velvet skirt, he looked beautiful, his hair in loose waves that framed his delicate face.

you both started your evening with a little stroll through the park, the sounds of laughs and giggles with the crunch of leaves mixed. his hand quickly found yours, the delicate touch warming you both up as you walked hand in hand, lost in conversation.

and as it started to drizzle with rain, you made it to a cozy little cafe tucked away in a quiet corner of the city. The scent of freshly brewed tea filled the air, soft jazz music playing in the background. hwas eyes lit up when you bought him one of those stupidly expensive decadent desserts they leave in the windows, and you couldn't resist ordering a few to share.

Sitting hip to hip, you talked until the café closed, mostly about bad dates and your favourite treats, you both felt your little spark growing. seonghwas laughter was beautiful, finding yourself looking more and more at his lips, esp when he showed you his pretty collection of lipglosses

As the evening drew to a close, you walked back to Seonghwa's apartment, hand in hand. and under the moonglow, he stopped and faced you, his eyes sparkling

"I had the the best time tonight," his delicate voice sending shivers down your spine. "you're so nice, I'm not used to it honestly."

you gently cupped his cheek, the warmth of his skin making you smile "it's all because of you... you're so beautiful and sweet," leaning in to press a kiss to his lips, your tongues quickly fighting for power over the other

and in that moment, surrounded by the soft hum of the city, the gentle embrace of the night, and most importantly, eachother, you knew that this was just the beginning of your journey together. with you both by eachothers side, you could face anything, even if he didn't like mint-choc-chip ice cream

a/n: I love mint choc chip ice cream omg

especially since they broke the cost cap

me walking through the “accredited personnel” gate and tapping my special lanyard is a CORE memory

i think my uber driver dropped me off on the opposite side of the track

*stressing about being unable to admire the sights of albert park bc i’m stress-running from the opposite end of the track to my station*

pls don’t be a dick and say i’m late - i know

how is a 5am wake up not early enough HOW?

“last year i was stationed at the corner where charles spun out.”

sole thought = 💀💀💀💀

i. fucking. love. cars.

the whole SENSORY experience of a race ffffffffffffuuuuuck

“be careful taking pictures because that security camera is on us and is straight to race control and the FIA.” is such a cool sentence to hear

a porsche gtr should not be covered with branding idc

i’m definitely going to abuse caffeine this weekend

friday: FP1 / FP2

aramco engineers are walking behind me as i shit talk about f1, nice

“it is an increasingly unique experience peeing in a port-a-loo beside a formula one track as cars race by.”

120’000 is a LOT of people

how has the float not broken yet?

metro boomin has released an album as i stand before live formula one. life has PEAKED

fernando alonso is the first F1 driver i ever saw live

there is a shift in formula one as the heritage fans of motor racing are on the out as the next generation of fans absorbed in driver hype and social media takes over and we see this in how F1 has created the new US tracks and made them all into spectacles and fans are here because of it being “cool” instead of caring about cars

… maybe i should buy the redbull jacket instead?

bonus: sole thought during the pitlane walk for the marshals

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

saturday: FP3 / qualifying

the relief of thinking you’re late and then seeing someone you know HA

commentators are now contractually obligated to bring up saudi arabia every time they talk about ollie bearman

lol are they putting lewis and charles together all the time?

every marshal: “that was the shittest parade ever.”

i need a drink

pls don’t talk to me for the next two hours

daniel ricciardo....man..... aus gp can't market you like this.......

damn yuki got HANDS

ferrari and mclaren having the top 4 places is just *chefs kiss*

lewis just had to stall just pass my sector like i hope ur okay but couldn't u not be ok in front of me?

red bull deserves this after all the FLACK i've copped from red bulls fans ("dramatic" MY ASS)

wait george russell ARE YOU SERIOUS?!

singapore all over again. i can already see the memes.

somehow marshalling a gp has you closer and more removed from the whole thing i have no idea what's going on

(literally the only time i used my F1TV live timing)

finishing after the safety car means i can't stick my head out and clap for carlos FUCK OFF

SANTA ANA, Calif. -- A Placentia, California barber has been charged with murder and torture for allegedly beating a 6-year-old boy to death with a piece of lumber, prosecutors announced earlier this week.

Ernest Lamar Love, 41, has been charged with murder, torture and child abuse causing death, according to the Orange County, California District Attorney's Office. He has pleaded not guilty and is being held without bail.

Prosecutors say 6-year-old Chance Crawford had finished his third day of first grade last week, and was dropped off at Love's barbershop around 6:30 p.m., while his mother, a nurse's assistant, went to work at a hospital. Love was in charge of babysitting Crawford.

Surveillance video allegedly shows Love walking into the barbershop with a "large piece of raw lumber with a reluctant Crawford following behind him."

Prosecutors accuse Love of beating the first-grader with the piece of lumber, then pouring hydrogen peroxide on the open wounds before forcing the boy to do push-ups, sit-ups and jumping jacks until he collapsed. Love allegedly beat the boy after the first-grader wet his pants at a local park, prosecutors said.

Love is accused of carrying Crawford - unconscious and struggling to breathe - into the ER at Children's Hospital of Orange County around 1:30 a.m. Friday.

"Doctors at CHOC discovered that much of Chance's flesh was missing from his buttocks, leaving raw, gaping wounds, along with subdural hematoma, extreme brain swelling, and other injuries consistent with violent shaking," the DA's office said. "The little boy also had healing fracture on his shoulder blade."

Love faces a maximum sentence of 32 years to life plus five years if convicted on all charges.

"Words do not exist to describe the absolute terror this little boy was forced to endure - all at the hands of someone who was supposed to be protecting him, not torturing him to death," District Attorney Todd Spitzer said in a statement.

'No child deserves to get treated like this'

Like most kids, Crawford loved Mickey Mouse. He even had a Mickey Mouse-themed party for his fifth birthday.

"He loved it so much. He has a Mickey Mouse outfit. He was in the Mickey Mouse outfit smiling, always smiling," Crawford's great-aunt Carmen Hill said. "Always, and we won't get to see that smile anymore."

The 6-year-old boy had been in a coma since last Friday, after his family said he was brutally beaten by a friend of his mother, someone she apparently met at church.

Crawford was declared brain dead on Tuesday and taken off life support.

"That kid was sweet," Hill said. "What kind of monster are you?"

"This is killing us slowly because no child deserves to get treated like this," Crawford's cousin Aisha Herrell said.

Herrell said Love took Crawford to the hospital and told staff the boy got injured in a fall. She said hospital staff notified police.

"The more and more that I explain what happened, the more angry I feel," Crawford's father Vance Crawford said.

"Just like why? Why would this happen to him? He didn't get to live the rest of life," Crawford said. "He's 6 years old. I wanted to see my son graduate."

His family now demands justice.

"He lived a happy life. He was great. He was a great kid," Crawford said. "I love my son. I miss him so much. He didn't deserve that."

"He was growing up into a big, beautiful, smart little boy," Herrell said. "We just hate that he's no longer with us."

The family held a vigil Wednesday evening at a park where Crawford had once celebrated a birthday. His cousin Rashedia Diaz described him as sweet and a bundle of joy.

Amid the tears, there was anger after details emerged of how Crawford died.

"It hit me like a ball of fire," the boy's father said. "It's been tragic."

Crawford's family hopes no other child will experience what allegedly happened to the 6-year-old. They're urging parents to always be aware as to who watches their children.

Life is Strange - What if Esteban hadn't died? - Part III

Esteban drives towards Mount Rainier National Park. Sean looks lost in his thoughts while Daniel plays Minecraft on his phone. ─ Sean, are you okay? You've been quiet, hijo. ─ I'm fine, dad. It's just… a lot has been going on my mind recently. I'm thinking about some things, but I'm okay. ─ If you ever need to talk, I'm right here. ─ Thanks, dad. He decides to stop by a gas station. ─ Okay, hijos. We are having a quick stop to use the bathroom and buy something. He gives Sean twenty dollars. ─ Dad, what is this for? ─ You can buy something for you and Daniel. But please, choose wisely. Money isn't infinite. I wish it were, though. Daniel and Sean enter the little store. ─ Buy some Choc-O-Crisp for me, please, please!!! ─ Come on, Daniel, we need to buy something healthier. ─ But I want… ─ Okay, okay, Daniel… I'll buy one bar of Choc-O-Crisp, okay? ─ Okay… Sean looks at the price. It surprises him. ─ What the f-… this costs seven dollars! Are you sure you really want it? ─ Yeeeah, please, bro…

Sean sighs and takes the bar. ─ Do not ask me for anything else! Sean looks at the food while Daniels walks around the store and meets a man. Sean hears his brother talking to someone and goes after him. ─ Fuck! He approaches Daniel. ─ Daniel, what are you doing? He looks at the man. ─ I'm sorry. He can be annoying sometimes. ─ Annoying? He is quite friendly. And I kind of got carried away. How old is he, by the way? ─ He is nine. ─ I'm almost ten. ─ Still not ten, Daniel. ─ Is his name Daniel? It is a nice name. My name is Brody, by the way. I' am an online traveling journalist. ─ My name is Sean. Oh, if you don't mind me asking… what is an online traveling journalist? ─ Basically a fancy name for someone who drives around in a car and writes about people and stuff he sees. There are a few websites that pay me for it. Nice to meet you both. Are you traveling with your brother? ─ Our dad is with us. ─ Sean! Daniel! ─ Esteban calls them. ─ I think I will go back to work now. I'm already working against a deadline, so... ─ That's okay. ─ Oh, you're here ─ Esteban says as he finds his sons. ─ Look, I found a marshmallow bag. We can't camp without marshmallow. ─ Oh, yeah, dad! ─ Sean agrees. They go to the checkout to pay for what they've bought. The cashier is an old lady. ─ Good morning, guys. ─ Good morning, ma'am ─ Sean answers. ─ Seventeen dollars. Sean gives her the money. ─ Here is your change. His brother hears a dog barking. ─ What is that? ─ He curiously asks. He sees a cute dog. ─ That dog… she needs to find a new home ─ the cashier explains. Daniel looks at his dad and begs. ─ Dad, can we adopt him, please? ─ Wow, I wish we could, but you know I'm allergic to dogs. I wouldn't stop sneezing and coughing. He keeps begging. ─ Pleeease! Sean looks at him. ─ Daniel, come on. Don't you care about our dad's safety? Esteban surrenders. ─ Okay, we can adopt the dog. But you'll have to promise to me that you'll keep everything clean and keep that dog at a safe distance from me. ─ I will, I will! ─ Daniel jumps in joy. ─ I think we are going to need to buy her some food. You can wait for me in the car. ─ Okay, dad. The cashier gives the dog to Daniel. They go outside the store and wait for their dad inside the car. Esteban comes back two minutes later. ─ Great! Now let's get back to the road. He sneezes. ─ Daniel, I told you it wasn't a good idea to… ─ I'm fine, Sean. It's just a sneeze. My allergy isn't actually that bad. I think… He sneezes again.

It's almost 6 PM. Shaun, Daniel, and Esteban are walking through the forest to find a place to camp at. ─ It's getting dark ─ Esteban says. ─ Dad, when I look at those signs, I remember the time when you taught me to read them. Those memories are so important to me. ─ For me too, son. Daniel runs with his dog. ─ Slow down, Daniel! ─ Esteban requests. ─ We are tired of walking already. ─ That enano never runs out of energy. ─ He reminds of me when I was his age. I was unstoppable. I miss those times, when life was easier. ─ Sometimes you just have to slow down and rest a bit, dad. ─ It's hard to find an opportunity to do this, you know. I have a family now, two sons to raise… ─ I appreciate how much you try to be a good dad for Daniel and me, but sometimes you need some time to yourself. Why don't you go out with your friends? You can even go out alone. Sometimes it helps us reorganize our thoughts and… Daniel interrupts them. ─ I need a name for the dog. ─ The dog is yours, so… you choose the name, hermano. ─ What about Mushroom? ─ That's what I call a creative name, son! I'm proud of you ─ Esteban laughs while he hugs Daniel. They find a place to stay the night. Esteban unpacks things and Daniel and Sean go find some wood for the fire.

My Monthly Favs What’s in my cup:

Every morning I drink iced coffee made from my one & only Nespresso machine. The past few months I can’t get enough of the double espresso blend, and then I add a bit of whole milk (happy cows only) and sweet cream. I can’t find anything better from Starbucks or anywhere else. Sometimes if I’m craving a hot drink, I’ll head to Dutch Bros for a hot Carmelizer and it is totally worth the cringy 9 minute forced convo with the DB crew. I also start my day with electrolytes, currently in the watermelon flavor. It’s surprisingly really delicious but I miss the Electrolyte Synergy blend that I was drinking for a long time, which has been sold out for almost a year now. :’)

What’s on my plate:

Dinner lately has been the laziest in America. After our trip, Drew & I either have the same ole chicken, rice and veggies, a spicy “mexican bowl” or some form of pasta, usually with Raos Arriabatta sauce. This week we’ve been stuffing our faces with Trader Joe’s frozen meals. We promise to be better next month, but we are really exhausted and the last thing we feel like planning are meals. However, for the last week of December we actually have some things planned for the holiday weekend. On Friday, we’re hitting up the town as we do every year to walk around and see the lights, and find festive little bars to try out new Christmas cocktails. We plan to spend Christmas with just the two of us. For Christmas Eve we are making our annual corn beef, cabbage and carrots because apparently we are super Irish (confirmed by 23&me which btw leaked all my genes to hackers). On Christmas we are having tri-tip, garlic & butter brussel sprouts, and mashed potatoes. The Christmas cookies we’re making this year include White Chocolate Cherry Shortbread cookies, Peanut Butter Blossoms, & Holly Leaves. Okay and now that I’ve told you all that, the Christmas cocktails we decided on this year are The Mistletoe Kiss (a vodka, soda water, rosemary & cranberry drank) and Bad Santa White Russians. I also heard that Moon X Pinot Noir from Trader Joes was really good and lately the Redvolution just isn’t doing it for me.  Let me know if you want any of these recipes, ladies. I will make sure to find GF, DF, and V options. 

What’s on my bookshelf:

I’ve finished two of the Colleen Hoover books, and now I’m reading another one of hers called Verity. It’s kinda depressing but that’s kinda the vibe as of late so I’m into it. 

What’s in my playlist:

We love the Sia Christmas album. It’s so fun and happy. Believe it or not, Andy introduced me to it lol. It’s so good!! Other songs I’ve been into are I remember everything by Zach Bryan and Kacey Musgraves. It reminds me of a family member rn which is very depressing to me. Fun to cry to. Bubble - STAYC, Surround Sound - JID 21 Savage, Baby Tate, Adora Hills - Doja Cat. 

What I’m up to:

Making our house into a winter wonderland of lights. Watching hella hallmark movies. Being seriously lazy, not working out or eating healthy. Walks with Snoop around the park. Mandala scratch off nightscapes. Reading at 3am when I was jetlagged. I had a sleep study this month too, no sleep apnea for me, back to mouth taping! It really does help with quality of sleep for me. You should try it! Also magnesium spray on my feet (shout out to Aly). This has helped with my restless leg syndrome that we’ve all experienced. This weekend, we’re making all our foods and cocktails, going downtown, driving around with hot choc to look at lights, and heading up to Rocky Mountain to hike a bunch of mountains. 

Skincare Saviors:

My skin gets so dry in Colorado, its TERRIBLE. And now that I’m saving for a house, I had to break up with my amazing esthetician, who by the way I stole this template from. I’m obsessed with Dermlogica thanks to her. I use a miscellar water if I wore any make-up. If not, I just double clease with my face wash. In the AM I’ll use my Rosehip Triple C+E Firming  Oil, followed by COSRX snail mucin essence, and a magical mix of calm water gel and intensive moisture balance. 

Love you long time,

Li

Three’s Company (because some things are better odd)

   It was really odd, Ichika considered, how Akira and Yukari were paying extra attention to her lately.

   She didn’t really get it but she couldn’t say that she didn’t like it. It was extremely flattering, after all. To have the completely undivided attention of two of the most popular girls in town and having them check in with her about how she was adjusting to high school and if she was coping with homework and her Mother still being away and whatnot. 

   Really, Ichika was the apple of their eyes, she had noticed. She was even the ire of a few other eyes, mostly from the very unrequited and at times unwelcome admirers that both Akira and Yukari had but still. They weren’t untoward to her and Ichika could understand the impulse! She, herself, didn’t know where all this pampering was coming from either but she liked it, she wasn’t going to deny spending time with her friends like that, even if they did run in very different social circles as their time at KiraPati had come to a close it was just… Odd.

   Especially since Akira and Yukari were so naturally lovey-dovey with one another. Ichika couldn’t help but wonder if that made her the third wheel. And what the point of this all was if she was going to be their third wheel.

   It was only once in a while. They had different schedules, after all but if Akira and Yukari could squeeze her in… Ichika was more than happy to tag along. Everything from visiting the park for ice-cream from the ice-cream van or going grocery shopping, it seemed, that Ichika was pleasant company for Akira and Yukari.

   However, Akira and Yukari were not pleasant company for her.

   It was way too embarrassing to be around them when they were off in their own little world together, Ichika thought. She blushed just watching them act like a proper couple. Like holding hands through the park, walking a little too fast for Ichika and when they were sharing flavours, Ichika’s heart could have leapt out of her chest.

   Akira was just so gentlemanly and yet so boyishly cheeky, taking far too big a bite from Yukari’s strawberry and banana double scoop in a waffle cone but Yukari! She was salacious and elegant, licking delicate from Akira’s choc-on-choc-on-choc treat.

   How on Earth was Ichika not expected to melt watching such flirtations. She was no better than her vanilla and sprinkles single scoop watching them, feeling her treat drip down her hand because she was so absorbed by their mood - and when they turned around to notice. Oh, it may as well have been the end of the world when Ichika blushed, averting her eyes and yet Yukari’s enigmatic giggles were perpetual as they continued on this. Well. 

   Actually, Ichika wasn’t sure what it was. It couldn’t have been a date, right? Ichika was there. But it sure was a weird melding of relationships that was happening here in the park. But at least it was a nice day at the park. The sun was shining, the birds were singing, there was a cool breeze. It really would have been a perfect date, Ichika thought, if she wasn’t here third-wheeling the happy couple.

   And going grocery shopping wasn’t all that better, either.

   Ichika was trudging along, pushing the trolley, she wasn’t getting any say in anything. Which made sense. She wasn’t coupled up with Akira and Yukari, after all. She didn’t live with them, though with every essential they tossed in to go to their shared university apartment, they promised Ichika was welcome any time, any hour, any reason. Heck, if she wanted, she could totally come live with them if need be, if she wanted to go to university nearby.

   It was a kind offer but surely it was just that. A kind offer. A sentiment with no real backing behind it.

   Into the trolley went rice that Ichika wasn’t going to eat, flour that Ichika wasn’t going to use, and much, much more. It did sort of remind her of their heyday as the Pretty Cures and working at KiraPati, which was nice and nostalgic, but it was weirdly bittersweet, too.

   And not as weirdly irritating, too. Watching Akira and Yukari continue their honeymooning married couple routine, even in the supermarket, sure was a thing. It almost made Ichika envious. She wanted her hand held, she wanted to be told she was as cute as the mascot character on this cereal box and so on and so forth. Akira and Yukari were really luck to have each other but it did just make Ichika’s arms turn to jelly. Not even with jealousy, they were just really big shoppers.

   At least this time around Ichika didn’t have to pay for the very heavy trolley they ended up with after stalking each and every aisle of the supermarket very carefully. Ichika sighed as they finally made it to the end and Yukari pay-waved all their purchases.

   Next to Ichika, where she was slumped over the trolley, Akira put her hand on her shoulder and smiled, “Thank you for all your help today, Ichika, you really should come around for tea sometime.”

   Ichika agonised over it. She was still really certain they were just being nice and friendly. If she had time, was the answer that she happened upon in reply to Akira. After all, she had exams coming up and the constant, endless stream of homework, as well as her own stuff at home. 

   “When the exam period is over, we’ll take you to a celebratory dinner then.” Yukari piped up.

   “Okay then.” Ichika shrugged, still very much thinking nothing of all the niceties and thinking way too much of her third-wheeling here.

   “Can you help me load these bags, Ichika?” Yukari piped up.

   “Yup, not a problem.” Ichika replied.

   She smiled and continued to assist. She helped Yukari place their reusable bags into the trolley, she ended up pushing it along, all the way to Akira’s car but that was where it ended. Akira was more than happy to drive Ichika home but it was all good, she already had her bus fare ready but both Akira and Yukari looked disappointed by Ichika’s declining of their offer but it was fine for her.

   Ichika really didn’t want to intrude on them any further - even if they were the one giving her constant invites. 

   But amid all her studying and writing essays and doing research for different projects, both for school and for herself to get better still at baking, Ichika had totally forgotten that Akira and Yukari wanted to take her out for dinner after the exam period. She hadn’t even got any of her marks back on any of them but sure. They were being nice and Ichika knew she was being stubborn about feeling weird about being their favourite third wheel but oh well.

   A night out would do her good - especially since Yukari asked her to dress at least a little fancy, which Ichika did.

   She put on her Sunday best and Akira came around to pick her up the night of. Her Dad sent them off with a big grin and big wave. Ichika was all smiles, too, even if her stomach felt a little topsy-turvy with nerves. She knew exactly where things were headed, even if she didn’t know the name of the restaurant that they were going to.

   Ichika had it all laid out in her head. She would probably watch Akira and Yukari sip from each other’s glasses, not that there would be any alcohol in them just yet but they would most certainly have rosy-cheeks regardless. Same for sharing the main meal and dessert, too. And they’d ask her all the normal questions about school and she was going to feel like a dumb little high schooler since they were cool university students these days. Even if they were only in their early years.

   Ichika sighed, “So, what’s on the menu?” she asked as she got into the backseat; Yukari was in the passenger of Akira’s red little buzz box.

   “Italian.” Akira piped up.

   “Nice. Looking forward to it then.” Ichika replied with a big smile.

   Akira glanced at her and nodded. She then took her car out of stall and started to drive off. The engine made a gentle hum as Akira treated her car very well. Almost as well as her lover, Ichika would have joked.

   “Aah, I’m glad,” Yukari continued as she curled a strand of her hair around her finger, toying with it, “you seemed like you weren’t enjoying our previous outings. Perhaps it was just stress after all.”

   “A little. I - I didn’t mean to be in a bad mood, if you thought I was. I wasn’t. The trolley was just heavy and I just really felt like the third wheel when we got ice-cream in the park that one time.” Ichika said.

   “Pardon?” Akira yelped as she suddenly parked the car.

   It swerved one way and then jerked into the kerbside. Ichika was all but strangled by her seatbelt in doing so. Maybe Akira didn’t treat her car as well as her lover, Ichika corrected her previous thought.

   “Third wheel?” Akira echoed.

   Both she and Yukari turned around to peek through the gap over the glove console. 

   “Ichika, darling, did you think you were third wheeling?” Yukari asked. She honestly sounded flustered - frantic, even - about this which was very concerning to Ichika.

   She blinked, “Er… Yes? Like, you two are such a PDA couple, it's really awkward to be taken out anywhere by you both.”

   “Oh, sweetie…” Yukari murmured and then turned to Akira. “I thought you told her?”

   “I thought you told her.” Akira countered her back.

   “I thought you told me what?” Ichika piped up.

   “Those were dates. Date-dates. All three of us.” Akira clarified and Ichika’s eyes went wide.

   Her jaw dropped. Actually. Suddenly. A lot of weird and strange things made sense. No wonder they were paying her so much attention. Akira and Yukari didn’t think that Ichika was their third wheel. They thought she was their third period. 

   “Oh my gosh, we’re so sorry.” Yukari said.

   “And stupid, sorry and stupid.” Akira apologised.

   “No, no, I - I think I should have realised.” Ichika stiltedly said and Yukari began to laugh.

   “Well, that makes tonight even more special then. Akira and I thought it would be our third date as a throuple but… It’s actually our first.” she said.

   “Y-Yeah.” Ichika agreed.

   “If you want, of course,” Akira said, “since Yukari and I never apparently coordinate or realised, if you don’t feel the same way-”

   “Of course I feel the same way.” Ichika cut in. “I’ve had a crush on you since forever, if i’m being honest and Yukari, I adore you as well. I-I’m sorry. I had no idea.”

   “It's all good, Ichika, at least we’re on the same page now.” Akira assured her.

   “Yup, come on, lean in.” Yukari said.

   She undid her buckle and squeezed herself through a bit further through the gap over the glove box. Ichika, blushing, did the same and let Yukari kiss her left cheek and with a little bit of struggle, Akira, without undoing her seatbelt, managed to lean in and kiss Ichika’s right. Her skin was very soft and very warm in her crushes and embarrassment.

   “Well then,” Akira said, leaning back into her driver’s seat properly, “let’s get going, yeah? All in favour?”

   “All in favour.” Yukari agreed.

   “Yup, all in favour, it's a bright idea!” Ichika cheered.

   She was more than a little giddy and just a tad hungry, too. Especially for making up for lost time with enjoying being pampered and given so much attention by Akira and Yukari, who weren’t just each other’s girlfriends, apparently, but hers, too. It really wasn’t that odd at all, Ichika considered.

Do you have specific spots you wanna hit while in NY? I know mentioned general areas like Ktown and getting a bagel but I didn't know if you had specific shops in mind. Where I live there is a town a few hours away and every time we go we have to stop at a specific candy shop (it's locally owned and amazing). I didn't know if you had anything like that

I'm annoyingly going for a work offsite so almost every minute of my time is accounted for, especially since I'm trying to squeeze in seeing lots of friends that are still in the city! I'll make it to a few of the below but here's an overview of my top places:

Food:

Bagels – I'm partial to Murray's on 6th Ave because I lived a few blocks away for a while but Ess-a-Bagel is good too or H&H (a classic)

Maman for pastries, Breads Bakery in Union Square for choc babka and Bourke Street Bakery near Madison Square Park for a sausage roll

The kale Brussel Caesar at Blank Slate when I'm working I'll have it delivered lol it's a guilty pleasure

Gotta have a Mister Softee in the summer

I'm a sucker for a slice of cake from Magnolia Bakery. I'm not a banana person but I know the banana pudding is everyone's fav

Alta on W. 10th is a fav date night spot, amazing tapas/vibe, it's tucked away on a residential street

Turntable Jazz Chicken. Hands down best fried Korean chicken, I will not leave New York without eating this. Get extra daikon radish and the dumplings and thank me later

Sant Ambroeus – just get a coffee/pastry to go and walk in the park!

Stores/shops:

Minamoto Kitchoan – technically food but it's really beautiful Japanese wagashi I always get some to send my dad

The Face Shop in KTown

Bloomingdales – basic but I'm not even sorry. Also it has a 40 Carrots froyo that I lowkey love to stop in and it's close to my office so I'll just pop by after work I'm on the hunt for a new YSL Manhattan bag so I want to see it in person!

Economy Candy in LES is super fun if you haven't been!

Awan, 5630 Melrose Ave, Los Angeles (Larchmont), CA 90038

AWAN finally added a new location and parking is much easier, plus they actually have some seating. The original AWAN in West Hollywood was just a tiny walk-up window. AWAN has some of the most interesting ice cream flavors and collabs. The ice cream is vegan. The base is made with Indonesian coconut cream and coconut water.

The ice cream starts at $6 for a 3 oz kids scoop to $20 for a pint. They also sell bottled beverages, and merch like a $100 AWAN sweatshirt or hoodie or a laser printed stainless spoon.

I was surprised to see 15 flavors to choose from, twice as many as the West Hollywood location.

Flavors of the day:

Balinese Vanilla Bean

Blue Yuzu Lemonade: infused with E3 live blue spirulina and blended with yuzu by Yuzu Co. The ice cream is a beautiful shade of blue. The texture was super dense, smooth, and very creamy. It was topped with a tiny bit of candied lemon peel (or was it yuzu?). It was so good – strong citrus flavor that complemented the coconut cream base, clean-tasting, not too sweet, tangy. Can’t think of anything critical to say about it.

Gaviota Strawberry

Blueberry Lavender

Dayglow Coffee

Gula Jawa

Greenglow Matcha: made with ceremonial grade matcha powder sourced by Dayglow. Strong and delicious matcha flavor, creamy, rich, indulgent. Matcha and coconut are complementary flavors.

Mint Choc Chip

Spiced Apple Oat Crumble

Almond Marzipan

Saffron Pistachio Date Rosewater

Birthday Cake

Kluwek Choc Chip

Chocolate Oreo

The space is interesting. It looks like a dark brown cave with cutouts in the wall where merchandise is displayed.

People who like AWAN probably like Erewhon too – it attracts a similar crowd, image-conscious, exclusive, and interested in quality ingredients.

Taehyung and Sophia abo au?

In society, there were three sub-genders. Alpha, Beta and Omega. They had their designated roles in the world and that meant designated ways that they were supposed to look.

Sophia didn’t fit her sub-gender in anyway, shape or form.

Only a select few knew of her actual sub-gender, everyone assumed that she was an alpha. From her height to her personality, it was a role that was forced on her.

“Do you still need the second week of next month off?”

Taeyong’s voice made her snap out of her thoughts, eyes going wide as she looked at the short alpha. Like Sophia, everyone assumed his sub-gender.

Everyone always assumed Taeyong as an omega, despite the fact he was an alpha like the rest of his family.

“Uh, yeah,” Sophia nodded, “That’s when.. I’m due..,”

Heats were a horrible thing.

“I can help you, you know,” Taeyong offered, “We’ve been best friends since high school,”

“No, it’s alright,” Sophia stood up from her desk, folding a few papers and placing them in a folder, “I have the meeting with one of the BTS CEO’s now-“

“I’ll get lunch,” Taeyong nodded, “Good luck,”

The company, Neo City, was a tech company. It had originally belonged to Sophia’s father, who only gave it to her under the recognition that she was an ‘Alpha’.

Her and Taeyong had transformed it completely, renaming it and making it there own.

The conference room always smelt bland to Sophia, they were deodorised after every use in case of unwanted pheromones.

Yet when she walked in, the smelt of warm mocha and fresh baked choc-chip cookies filled the air. There was a little hint of sea salt, an underlying bitter that complimented the sweet.

Sophia stopped for a moment, the only person the scent could be coming from was..

Kim Taehyung.

He was sat at the table, a sleek black folder in front of himself. He wore a simple dark grey suit, the jacket open and reveal the crisp white shirt underneath it.

Being the boss of the company, Sophia didn’t bother with the formal dress wear. Her and Taeyong opted for comfort over formality.

She was in a simple pair of jeans and an oversized T-shirt, which had probably belonged to either Jaehyun or Johnny at some point in time.

“Mr Kim,” Sophia cleared her throat.

“You can call me Taehyung,” He welcomed warmly as she sat a few seats away from him.

It was easier, in case he caught her scent and got confused.

“Okay, well, I’m Sophia Park,” She introduced, “I understand we’re here to discuss the partnership between the two companies, the former CEO had an agreement with your founding company and we would like to keep that business but make changes to-“

“I thought I was having this meeting with another alpha,”

Sophia stopped, stuttering for a moment before she looked at Taehyung. He had an eyebrow quirked, a smile on his face.

“I beg your pardon?” Sophia asked.

“I can smell it on you, your not an alpha,” Taehyung pointed out.

“You might just be smelling my business partner, he’s an omega-“

“No,” Taehyung pursed his lips, “It’s you, your the omega, your scent is all over the building,”

Sophia didn’t know what to say. Only a select few alphas, high on the dominance scale, could call her bullshit.

“Is it hard? Pretending to be an alpha? You have to be so tired, baby,”

Hands shaking, Sophia swallowed thickly as she tried to steady herself. His scent was starting to affect her, the warm cookies getting stronger.

“My sub-gender doesn’t mean anything,” Sophia steeled herself, “Our meeting today is about the contract between-“

“Our meeting today was also supposed to be with an alpha from your company, your not an omega,” Taehyung explained, “So already, you’ve lied,”

Clearing her throat, Sophia closed the folder in front of herself and stood up. Taehyung stood up as well, he was just a centimetre or two taller than herself. He stepped closer, to which Sophia stood her ground.

If her mother taught her anything, it was that you never faltered in front of alphas.

“This meeting is finished,” Sophia announced.

“I’ll be happy to reschedule,” Taehyung basically purred, “With the adjustment that this is an alpha-omega meeting,”

pairings: robin buckley x female!reader

word count: 695

“i’ll pick you up at eight,” steve starts once his car comes to a stop, the car park by the beach on a nice summer hawkin’s evening. when robin had asked you out, you didn’t expect steve harrington to be the chaperone. but here you were.

robin scoffs, glancing at you before replying, “nine.” steve turns in his driver’s seat, either of you in the back seat and a firm glare set on his best friend, “eight thiry.” “done deal,” replies robin, nudging your shoulder before opening the door to get out.

robin had planned the whole date for you, after months of finding the perfect time to go out, you were excited it was finally the night. you had known her in high school, a ‘hi’ here and there, some ‘harmless’ compliments as you both were unaware of the crush either of you had.

once you had entered family video, searching for a late-night comedy, robin was the shyest her best friend had ever seen, and steve had to step in and help out. it was an odd friend group you wrapped yourself in, robin from school, playboy steve harrington and his ex-girlfriend nancy, along with her now-boyfriend jonathan, metalhead eddie munson and a group of teenagers. but you quickly fit in.

your love for movies is where you and robin most connected, the final ones at movie night while robin tried to hide her feelings – not knowing you reciprocated them just as strongly and once you had confessed, each of you had been planning a date ever since.

with robin’s work, and your college, it was hard.

her hand brushes yours and you think maybe when the sun vanishes and there’s less people, you could hold it. but for now, the brushes sent electricity across your body. “first stop,” robin starts, looking up to a small ice cream shop, filled with little to no people.

“you know me too well,” you state as you both step in the room, tiled floors and ice cream posters all over the walls, a very-unhappy teen employee behind the counter. “hi there,” robin starts, receiving nothing but a bored glare in return.

“i will have a cookies and cream cone, extra sprinkles and chocolate sauce,” you can almost see the disgust in return, but an ice cream so sweet was fitting for robin and her rambling, kind personality. “and she will have…” robin trails off, turning to you in which you sheepishly look to the flavours behind the clear box.

“mint choc chip, please,” you finish for her, a ‘hmph’ while they begin the order. “that’s only but the most basic flavour,” robin starts, and your jaw drops in offense, looking to the pretty girl with wide eyes.

you scoff teasingly before replying, “no it’s not! vanilla is.” robin shakes her head, eyes gleaming and smirk on her face, “you know no one actually orders vanilla, everyone order mint. i thought you were better than that, i may have to rethink my choices here.”

you nudge her playfully, “everyone gets it because it’s that good.”

she hands over the money, insisting she pays and takes the cones from the raging teen before handing you yours, and you practically skip out the shop with robin, ice creams in hand. “when i worked at scoops, even though i hated the job and worked with a complete idiot, i was never that grumpy.”

you laugh at her, as if robin had the ability of such an emotion. “i could never see you being grumpy, robin,” you try as you both walk along the beach, the sun is setting across the water, hawkin’s a beautiful orange hue and you glance around you before reaching your hand out for robin’s.

she’s too busy eating her cookies and cream ice cream that she was not aware, and jumps when your hand slips into hers, fingers intertwining perfectly as if each of your hands were made for the other and robin freezes, butterflies from the tips of her connected fingers all the way to her rapidly beating heart.

robin was in deep, and she was going to make sure you knew that by tonight.

The most affordable neighbourhoods in south and east Bengaluru, and why they are a magnet for luxury living

Bengaluru might be an expensive city to live in but, if you ask new homebuyers, they’d say that there are certain locations within the city that offer luxurious living that is highly affordable. So, what makes a locality affordable for a lifetime of living? And how does a home seeker find that house of their dreams as well as an accessible and developed neighbourhood they’d enjoy living in for the rest of their life?

We look at a few parameters that will give you an insight into the making of luxurious living in the south and east pockets of Bengaluru that are friendly on the pocket.

What is location affordability?

A location’s affordability index provides a credible source of standardised data at the neighbourhood level on housing and transportation costs to help homebuyers make more informed decisions about where to live, work, and invest.

Developers like the reputed HM Constructions https://www.hmconstructions.com/ conduct research on an individual basis on the feasibility of the present location for their luxury projects and the potential that the locality will offer their homebuyers in future.

The discovery that the south and east neighbourhoods of Bengaluru are much more affordable to live and work out of, particularly the localities in the periphery of the city, has prompted the presence of luxury homes on a wide scale.

This is probably the reason that the mid-range (INR 40 - 80 lakhs), premium (INR 80 lakh – INR 1.5 Cr), and luxury segments (>INR 1.5 Cr) were the showstoppers of 2022.

Preference for the peripheries

Peripheral locations led homebuyer demand in 2022, despite the near-normal situation post-Covid-19.

42 percent of respondents in the latest real estate consultancy firm’s consumer sentiment survey continued to prefer peripheral/suburban areas where they can buy bigger homes with better lifestyle amenities at lower prices. Only 10 percent of respondents still chose walk-to-work city centre locations, and only 23 percent were within the city limits.

“The walk-to-work concept, which involves compact homes around workplace hubs in the city centres, lost traction in the last year alone as life returned to normalcy. It was the suburbs that stole the spotlight despite work-from-office and physical school attendance having resumed and the commute taking a bit longer. The plus points that work in the favour of the peripheral locations are the highly improved road connectivity and accessibility, along with sophisticated social infrastructure,” observes Manjusrii Manilal (MRICS), Head of Marketing, HM Constructions https://www.hmconstructions.com/.

Popular localities in the south

South Bengaluru is an interesting mix of old conservative localities such as Banashankari and Jayanagar rubbing shoulders with the newer emerging neighbourhoods of Sarjapur, Electronics City, and Kanakapura Road. While the older neighbourhoods have constraints to embrace newer retail formats such as malls, as well as international school campuses and gated communities, the peripheral locations offer huge tracts of land to put up these extensive projects.

Sarjapur Road and Kanakapura Road stand out from the rest of the southern localities because of their abundant social infrastructure, wide roads, natural landscapes with forests and water bodies, and recreational and spiritual offerings.

Sarjapur Road has gradually emerged as a residential, commercial and recreational hub that’s turning into a real estate magnet for homebuyers and investors. Choc is a bloc with tech parks, restaurants and hotels, hospitals, campuses of top international educational institutions, recreation and sports centres, and shopping malls, Sarjapur Road is where almost all new homebuyers want to study, work, play and live! The convenience of accessibility and high potential of this locality spurred the celebrated HM Constructions https://www.hmconstructions.com/ group to offer their luxury dwellings of HM Concorde Tower at HM Symphony and the soon-to-be-launched global-themed HM Scottsville to lucky homebuyers.

Affordable East

East Bengaluru was a quiet spot with the old localities of Banaswadi, Whitefield and Marathahalli which was once considered a hamlet.

While Whitefield came under the spotlight for one major tech park which spurred residential real estate in the vicinity, there are other equally superior commercial business campuses that are stealing the show. HM TechPark for instance, has all the trappings of a mammoth gated business park within proximity to transport, hospitality, international educational campuses, and most importantly, healthcare in the numerous multispecialty hospitals around the tech park.

So, if you choose to set up an office at HM TechPark, you are ensured a lifetime of financially strong clientele and lucrative returns on your investment from leasing it or selling prime office space. This is because you’ll never fall short of finding tenants for your premium business floor.

As Bengaluru’s popular residential spots in the south and east gather popularity for their liveability and affordability, the demand for projects around these areas is only set to zoom in the coming months.
