L-Lactic Acid

L-lactic acid is a chemical substance with the molecular formula of C3H6O3. It is an optical isomer of lactic acid. It is an organic acid refined by biological fermentation using corn starch as raw material. It is a colorless clear viscous liquid. The aqueous solution shows acidic reaction. It can be freely mixed with water, ethanol or ether, and is insoluble in chloroform. Because of its left-handed characteristics, it has good biological compatibility, can be compatible with mammals, can directly participate in human metabolism, without any side effects, and is widely used in food, medicine and other fields.

Difference Between L-Lactic Acid & D-Lactic Acid

Lactic acid is the smallest chiral molecule in nature, and the carboxyl group in the molecule α The position carbon atom is an asymmetric carbon atom with L (+) and D (-) configurations. L-lactic acid is left-handed type, D-lactic acid is right-handed type, L-lactic acid and D-lactic acid are mixed in equal proportion to form racemic DL-type. The physical and chemical properties of D-lactic acid and L-lactic acid are the same except for their optical activity, but the physical properties of DL-type are different from them, which is shown in that their melting point and heat of melting are lower than those of single D or L configuration.

D-lactic acid is dextral lactic acid, which cannot be absorbed by human body; L-lactic acid is L-lactic acid that can be absorbed by human body; DL-lactic acid is mixed rotational lactic acid. D-lactic acid and L-lactic acid are optical isomers of each other. DL-lactic acid is their mixture.

Faster. Just a little bit faster. 

"Stop."

The leaves scrunch underneath your feet as you try to work them as fast as you possibly can. 

"Stop!"

You have lost track of how long you have been running. All you know is that your knees feel weak and they are this close to giving out. 

But you cannot stop. 

"Y/N, stop."

No matter what you do Y/N, do not stop. 

Your lungs beg you to take a break and let them have their share of oxygen. Your throat runs dry and the saliva you have been gulping a little too frequently is just not enough anymore. These things should have been enough of a sign for you to realise that even if you willfully don't give up, your body will. 

And that is exactly what happens the very next moment. 

You feel a sharp pain in your left leg. The muscles cramp in protest and make it impossible for you to keep your pace up. You falter and somehow limp to lean against a tree for support. 

Your mind goes to lactic acid and how lack of oxygen can have your muscles doing anaerobic breakdown. Geez, you should have gone to the gym and have been a little more familiar with physical exercises. Maybe then your body wouldn't have burnt out this easily. 

You try to move your legs and examine the damage. The good thing is the cramp doesn't seem severe, the discomfort should be gone soon. The bad news is, for the recovery to be fast, you need to take deep breaths and relax for the lactic acid to be washed from your system.

All these calculative thoughts are brought to a stop when you hear footsteps approaching. Shit. 

You bend down and take hold of a piece of rock, the only thing available that can be used as a weapon. 

"Y/N," a breathy voice reaches your ears and a figure soon comes into sight. 

The figure happens to be of someone you know very well. Jungkook's. Your boyfriend.

Which is the absolute worst part. 

The man comes closer to you with his eyes locked on yours and you notice the fury in them.

A shiver runs down your spine and you raise the stone in a threatening manner. "You come one step closer and I'll hit you with this."

The man doesn't react in any manner. Almost as if the words don't register, as if he's in a world of his own. 

He doesn't stop walking towards you which makes you hold the piece of rock firmly, ready to aim. However, he suddenly is a little too close to you and with one flick of his hand, he manages to throw your so-called weapon to the ground, leaving you defenceless. 

You don't even try to hide how terrified you feel like this, all weaponless against something you don't even properly know what it is. 

You're about to plead for your life when he speaks. 

"Are you okay?" 

The voice. Even the voice is an exact replica of Jungkook's. Whatever this man is, he sure as hell is dangerous if he can imitate a person this flawlessly. Lord knows what other tricks he has up his sleeves. 

You don't answer his question for you know he could possibly not have any interest in your well-being. 

"What are you? Why are you chasing me?" 

Something about your shaky voice has a visible effect on him and he puts a little distance between the two of you. It's enough for you to release the breath you were holding but you also don't miss how he keeps a close eye on your movements for any time you try to escape. 

"I–I am Jungkook," the man speaks and despite the stutter in his words, he speaks with confidence. 

You manage a weak scoff. "As if I'd ever believe that. Do you think I didn't see? You think you can fool me?"

"What did you see?" His senses go full-on alert.

"I know–" you look away from the man in fear when the scene replays in your mind, "–I know you are no ordinary human. You're a beast."

You don't know what happens next, for there's a pause. A pause, that is long enough for you to hope that he's gone. You would have liked to check if your assumptions were right had you not been this scared to open your eyes. 

However, you do not have to keep guessing for much longer, for moments later there's a hand being placed under your chin, which slowly and gently guides you to turn your head towards the man.

"Open your eyes."

Initially, you don't oblige. You keep your eyes tightly shut. But as the silence lingers and the hand under your chin refuses to leave, you open your left eye to take a peek. 

All you see is the man looking at you with the same intense gaze, something burning bright behind those orbs that intimidates you to no end. Aside from that, you also deduce that he's not in the mood of giving up. He seemingly wants to talk to you or worse, wants to do something to you and is willing to wait for it. 

You think it's rather wise to cooperate with him while he's still calm and patient. Maybe that way, you'll be able to fool him and while given the chance, make an escape. That way you will also buy yourself time for your muscles to relax and recover.

You slowly open your eyes, apprehensive of what he might do next. 

He only repeats his previous statement. "I need you to believe me when I say, I'm Jungkook. The same Jungkook you have known for so long."

You know you shouldn't argue with him. You're in no position to take the risk of igniting a fire you know you'll not be able to put off. But despite your logical reasoning, you feel deeply irked with this man's audacity to claim he's Jungkook. Just how dare he? 

Against, your better judgement, all thoughts of cooperating with the man are forgotten.

"I do not believe you for a second." 

"I don't blame you for it. But I need you to give me the time to explain myself," he speaks in the same calm, confident tone. "Stop panicking, I won't cause you any harm–"

"What are you?" You interrupt him, mid-sentence, knowing you need to have some idea of what he is for you to consider his words of not harming you, seriously. 

For the first time, he looks away, "I'm a werewolf." 

Werewolf. So now you know, what this man is. 

You search your brain for all the information that you have ever come across about werewolves. How dangerous are they? Do they eat human flesh? Do they murder people? 

The more you come up with questions and their respective answers, you realise that none of these answers are reliable for all you know about werewolves are solely based on fictional books or movies. There's no guarantee that anything these movies and books portray is anything barely similar to the way a real werewolf is.

How can it be anything close to the real thing, when werewolves were supposed to be completely fictional? Heck, you wouldn't have believed it had you not seen it yourself. 

You sigh when you realise despite now having the crucial information about him, you literally know nothing. You are still as vulnerable as you were before. 

"Can I speak now?" 

You look at him and reply with a nod. You may not know how reliable his promise of safety is but as long he's talking, you're safe.

"I don't mean to cause you any harm, I'd never. I understand why you're so scared but let me...let me just explain."

You nod again, urging him to speak. 

"Some werewolves, like me, live among humans considering that there isn't much forest left in these areas and if we were to move to rural places, it would cause a problem for the werewolves living there. It also increases the chances of gaining unnecessary attention.

I have always lived quietly and never interacted with humans unless necessary. But I had to join the company because apparently there was a documentary on werewolves being made which had footage of real werewolves. A few of us were assigned the job to stop the documentary from being made available to the public."

As a journalist, if there's one thing you have learned over the years, it's the ability to tell when a person is lying. And somehow according to your analysis, he isn't. 

However, you shoot that thought down telling yourself he's not a human. He's a werewolf, lord knows what they can do. You're used to interacting with people who lie, not with supernatural beings. 

"If I had to get a hold of the files and clips, I had to interact with people. I had to get friendly with them and had to get as much information as I could. Which is how I started talking to you."

The mention catches your attention. 

"I was not supposed to fall for you but I did. I did not realise that at some point I had started talking to you not in order to get information out but because I genuinely wanted to. I looked forward to meeting you, talking to you and spending time with you. I fell for you when I was not supposed to.

Falling was a different thing but dating was a whole other story. I simply, simply did not know how to tell you the truth. When we started dating, I was far too deep. I wanted to call you mine and take you places but at the same time, there was this guilt gnawing at me for hiding my true nature from you. 

However, when you said that you were in love with me, that was the day that I decided I would do whatever it takes to protect us. Even if it means not telling you the truth." 

The man stops, probably done with what he had to say. However, you find his words extremely suspicious. How can you not? The man you have known and loved for a whole year, suddenly turns out to be a werewolf? As if you wouldn't have caught it sooner had it been the case. 

You try to move your leg a little to check the condition of your cramp but you make sure that your movements are subtle so that it doesn't catch his attention. You find a bit of relief when you realise that the majority of the pain has subsided.

"Let's say what you're saying is true, how come I have never caught you before?" 

"We werewolves do not shift that much. Irrespective of what TVs and films may have made you believe, we do not turn into a wolf against our wishes on a full moon night. If we do change into a wolf, it's only when we want and choose to do so."

You furrow your brows. "You mean you chose to turn into a wolf today? It wasn't an accident?"

He nods. "I booked a vacation in the middle of a forest because it is comforting for the wolf in me to be here. I wanted to just turn into a wolf and go around for a stroll. Never did I think you'd end up seeing me in the middle of a transformation."

You look away when you realise he's done answering. You need to come up with another question, something, anything to keep him occup–

"You do not believe me." 

His words catch you by surprise and you gulp in fear. You cannot let him know that you're not playing whatever game he's playing, who knows it might just make him lose his cool. You can't have that. It's better to play dumb. 

"That's not true, I am just trying to piece the puzzle together."

The man scoffs with a small chuckle. "You think I can't tell when you lie? I've known you for a long enough time to be able to do that." 

Oh shit. 

"I understand that you're in total disbelief. As if learning werewolves exist wasn't enough, you also learnt your... boyfriend is one. That can't be easy." 

You still do not believe his words but nod nevertheless. 

He gently puts your hands in his and his thumb fiddles with the promise ring that Jungkook had given you. 

That's weird. Jungkook used to do that whenever he was nervous and needed to calm down. 

No, no, no. Just because he is fiddling with your promise ring doesn't mean he's Jungkook. He can't be. 

You withdraw your hand from his and look at him with a determination that you didn't have before, a little annoyed with yourself for considering the possibility that this man might just be Jungkook. "I do not know who you are and what you want from me but I know one thing and that is, you're not Jungkook." 

"What can I do to make you believe me?" 

You shake your head vigorously. "You cannot be Jungkook. My Jungkook is gentle, sweet, and caring. You seemed so scary, my Jungkook is not like that." 

"Please look at me," after your withdrawal from him, he does not choose to make you look at him. He realises that irrespective of how gentle he might have been, you may still be uncomfortable with it. Thankfully, you do look at him even if it's after, what seemed to be a moment of contemplation. "I am so sorry that you had to find out this way. But I promise despite my appearance as a wolf, I am still the same Jungkook you know. There's nothing that you don't know about me."

Something about his eyes makes it impossible for you to look away. Maybe it's just the strong emotion that shines through his orbs but for the first time, you notice that his eyes aren't filled with fury. 

Out of both curiosity and anxiety, you keep your eyes fixed on his' to understand what exactly is it he's feeling. 

A few moments later, you still keep looking. Not because you can't figure out the emotion being reflected in his orbs but rather because you can and you think it simply cannot be so. You must be seeing it wrong. Because what you see is......fear. A lot of fear. He's terrified. 

But that can't be it. Why would a werewolf who's been filled with fury, suddenly be so scared? Unless...unless, he wasn't furious in the first place and it was your fight or flight mode that had made it look like he was furious. 

Does that mean he has been terrified from the very beginning? 

"What...what do you want from me?" Your question comes from a place of confusion. So far you had been under the assumption that this man wants to harm you. But if that were the case, why is he so scared? Things aren't adding up! 

"I just want you to realise that I'm Jungkook." 

His words play on repeat in your mind. That's the only thing he's been claiming since the beginning, that he is Jungkook. 

"Why would Jungk–No, Jungkook would have told me if he was a werewolf. He would have never kept it hidden." 

"Maybe Jungkook was too scared that he'd lose you and you'd stop seeing him with love. That the love and adoration you have for him will turn into fear."

He looks like his whole world is falling apart and he's barely holding on. 

Fear. This is the source of his fear. This is exactly what he's been so terrified of.

You frown in a state of confusion that turns out to be painful for you. Could this man really be Jungkook? Is Jungkook, him? Are they the same person? 

"Would it be so bad if Jungkook were to be a werewolf?" The question is asked softly, a little too softly for your liking and your head spins as it only confuses you even further for you once again, entertain the possibility.

Jungkook. Your sweet, cute, bunny-eyed Jungkook whom you love so much, is a werewolf? It's absurd because you still can't make peace with the fact that werewolves are real. But if it is the Jungkook you know and have grown to love, would it matter? You don't think so. But it's not a question of whether Jungkook is a werewolf. Right now, it's a question about whether this man, who's a werewolf, is Jungkook. 

You calmly go through everything he has said so far. Him, joining the company because he had to stop a documentary from being released, which could threaten the truth about werewolves being released to the common public. You recall how he was when he joined, he was distant, and his conversations looked forced as if he was doing it because he doesn't have any other choice. Or the way he was a little too curious about the itsy bitsy details, that no one else paid mind to. Even the time you had found him going through a series of tapes from the office room. Could it all be because he was trying to gather information about the documentary? Could he be saying the truth?  

"What happened to the documentary then, did you get a hold of it?" 

The man shakes his head. "As it turns out, no such documentary existed in the first place. It was just a rumour which had gotten out of hand." 

You immediately shoot him with another question. "Why then, are you still working in our company?" 

He chews on the inside of his cheeks, contemplating if you'd even believe his answer. "Because of you." 

Something entirely unexpected happens. Your heart skips a beat. In the midst of all the confusion and fear, your traitor heart skips a beat! 

You immediately scold yourself for it. What if he's lying to you? What if he's not actually Jungkook?

But, the way he's looking at you....it's the same way Jungkook looks at you. How can it feel like Jungkook if he's not Jungkook? This man could be lying and pulling stories out of his ass but his eyes? What do they say about eyes being the window to the soul? If so, why does it remind you of Jungkook so much? 

You shut your eyes close tightly and ask him a question as your last resort. "Tell me something only Jungkook would know."

It doesn't even take him a second and words come pouring out of his mouth. "You like your noodles a little less boiled because that's the way your mom cooked them. You like it when it rains because the weather comforts you. You enjoy it when I play with your hair because you find it soothing. You haven't talked to your brother for months after that fight even though you really want to. You have a little scar on your thighs from the time–"

"You're Jungkook," you whisper to yourself, finding your walls crumbling and your guard lowering. There's no way anyone except Jungkook would know these things. 

Jungkook is hit with a tremendous wave of relief which you do not miss. His body visibly reacts as if a huge bag of stone has been lifted off his shoulders.

"I am Jungkook," he whispers back, repeating your words to confirm what you have just said. As if he cannot believe that he has managed to make you trust him. "I am sorry you had to find out this way,"

"You really are a werewolf? You always have been a werewolf? Every time we have talked, you were a werewolf?" 

Your set of questions causes Jungkook to get nervous again and he takes a step back. Now feeling sure that you won't try to run away from him, he only manages a weak nod as an answer to all of your questions.  

"Wow," your mouth forms an 'o' as you let all of it sink in. Jungkook is a werewolf. Your Jungkook is a werewolf. "I wish you had told me sooner."

"I was so scared I'd lose you," he mutters, his voice wavering, all the confidence and firmness he was showing before, now gone. It's only now that your previous thoughts are confirmed that he's been this scared from the very beginning and you realise his confidence was merely a facade to calm you down. "You being scared of me is an absolute nightmare." 

You don't speak for a moment. Now that you feel like you aren't in danger, you take a few seconds to observe him. He is nervous, that much is obvious. But it's the little details about him that call for your attention. You know how he avoids eye contact when he feels small, you know how he runs his tongue against the inside of his cheek when he feels annoyed with himself and you know how he craves to have some part of his body to be in touch with yours because it grounds him. His clenched fists are a sign enough, that he wants to hold onto you, but is resorting with every fibre of his being.

Looking at him now, you wonder how you had not noticed these things before. How you could, even for a moment, think that he was not Jungkook. It's him, everything about him is Jungkook. 

He is Jungkook. Your Jungkook. 

You take a step towards him, to reduce the distance he had put between the two of you. 

"I think the fact that you're a werewolf hasn't quite sunk in, a part of me still is in disbelief," you place your palms against his cheeks and hold his face gently. "But something in my heart tells me you're my Jungkook and that's all that matters. Werewolf, vampire, human, I don't care."

Jungkook closes his eyes and releases a shaky exhale. "Can I hug you?"

You wrap your arms around him and let your head rest against his chest. The sound of his heartbeat washes away any remaining doubts or anxiety you might have had as you relax in his warmth that is so familiar. 

Jungkook goes completely limp in your hold as he too wraps his arms around you and pulls you in tightly. He lets go of all the tension in his body and the both of you stand there in the middle of a forest embracing each other. 

You would have liked to stay like that a little longer but a sniffle from Jungkook makes you break the embrace. You look at him to find his eyes misty. Jungkook saves you from asking the reason behind his watery eyes, as he himself tells you. 

"I thought you wouldn't believe me and that you'd find me disgusting and unappealing," he confesses. "I didn't know what to do to make you see that I'm the same Jungkook. The way you were scared, scared me." 

You run your fingers through his hair, knowing it has a soothing effect on him as well. "When I saw you transforming, I was scared but it was because I never even imagined that it was you. I thought it was some scary supernatural being that wanted to harm me."

"And you're not disgusted to know that I am, in a way, partially a wolf?" 

The way his voice sounds so small and unsure pulls at your heartstrings and urges you to comfort him. Placing a soft peck of reassurance, you smile against his lips. "Nah, you're still my cute little baby."

Jungkook looks surprised as he looks at you with wide eyes, not having expected that action from you. You giggle seeing his expression. He's your cute little baby, indeed.

His expression turns into that of shyness and a blush appears on his cheeks. "Could you do that again?" 

You laugh and the very next moment kiss him again. Your lips mould against his as you kiss him gently, silently apologising for scaring him like that. You kiss him with passion in hopes that it eases his anxiety and makes him feel reassured that you still love him the same. 

Jungkook kisses you with a softness that is desperate and needy at the same time. He needs it to fully relax into the fact that you're here, right in front of him and that you haven't left him. He needs to let it sink that you're kissing him with the same amount of love that you always have, that him being a werewolf, doesn't come in the way of your love. 

However, when he feels that reassurance hit him, he pulls you impossibly closer and his kissing starts getting harder. It holds the same amount of desperation, as before but this time Jungkook holds onto you tightly as if he's scared to ever let go of you, again. He feels like he needs to apologise to you, needs to love you better than he did before and most importantly needs to express how incredibly grateful he is for you sticking with him.

He could literally worship you right now. 

A brief fleeting thought occurs in his mind as to what were to happen if he were to get down on his knees and make you scream his name in the middle of this forest? 

That thought is a tell-tale sign that he should pull away, because with each passing second that your lips remain on his', the thought becomes a little less fleeting. 

With a groan that has your heartbeat accelerating, Jungkook pulls away and smiles at you. "We should head back." 

Your breathing had just started to get faster, your chest had just started to heave and the wave of excitement that makes goosebumps rise all over your skin, had just started to take over. The prospect of having Jungkook in a way where he doesn't have to hide himself makes you curious and crave that intimacy.

"We could head back a little later, we have time until it gets dark," you suggest lightly with a shrug. 

Jungkook looks confused at your suggestion. "What do you want to do staying here?"

"I don't know, maybe we could kiss a little more," you suggest with a shy smile on your face. 

"While that does sound nice, I do not think it's a good idea." 

"Why not?"

"Because I might get greedy and end up wanting to do unspeakable things to you," Jungkook reasons, trying to be the voice of logic.

 "Who says I do not want to do that already?" 

There are a million questions in Jungkook's mind. Would you be okay with it, when you were so scared moments ago? Would you be comfortable with it? Would you regret it later?

You get on your tiptoes and press a small kiss on his cheek, having noticed the concern on his face. "I want you, trust me."

"Are you sure?"

You nod with a reassuring smile.

The glint that takes over his eyes, makes a shiver run down your spine. It's a look you have seen plenty of times, one that you're extremely familiar with.

However, you sense he's still hesitant. Taking a step closer, you make the first move and kiss him hard. Starting it slow be damned, you want him to know the desire you hold for him. 

Anything that might have been holding Jungkook back, disappears. He holds you by your waist and pulls you closer. Groaning into your mouth, he bites into your lower lip before capturing it passionately between his lips to soothe any sting the action might have caused. 

Your desire increases and you gently prod his lips with your tongue, eagerly waiting for him to let you in. As soon as he does, you could not be more delighted, something which is made extremely obvious by how excitedly your tongue greets Jungkook's. 

There's no battle of dominance. Rather, both of your tongues entangle together as if dancing to their favourite song.

Your body starts to feel hot and you keep feeling the need to have him closer. When you part your mouth from his, it's not because you've run out of air, it's because you need to feel more of him. 

An emotion which Jungkook replicates. 

"You'd need support," his breathy voice reaches your ears. 

"That's what the tree is for," you reply in a tone that's quite similar to that of his. 

"The surface is rough, it'd scratch your back," he reminds you of the consequences of having your back against the tree trunk when you'll be naked later.

"Well you could always offer me your blazer," you counter, with a sultry smile. 

Fuck. 

Having been caught in the middle of turning into a wolf, he had to stop right away. Unfortunately, the fur doesn't disappear immediately. At that point in time, his main priority was not scaring you any further. Hence, Jungkook had grabbed the nearest thing he could find, to put on. Anything that could cover the fur until it disappears. Which so happened to be the black blazer he's now wearing.  

The image that comes to his mind as a result of your words, is one which makes him come to the conclusion that the thoughtless choice of the blazer, is one of the best decisions he has ever made. After you, of course. But if he has to put the blazer to good use, he needs to get you naked first. 

Kissing your neck with newfound vigour, he holds you firmly against himself as his hands start to wander behind your back to find the zipper that serves as the key to get you out of this dress.

Having found it, he wastes no time dragging the chain down and sliding your dress halfway down your shoulders. 

You whimper when the cold air hits your skin, taking you by surprise. He kisses, nibbles and leaves his mark on the newly exposed skin and curses to himself when he realises that you're not wearing a bra. The new discovery entices him to slide the dress even lower so that he can get his mouth on your soft supple breasts. 

His entire mouth dries up when your nipples are revealed and he realises how hard they have been all this while, as if just as eager to get sucked as he is to suck them. Wasting no time he puts your left breast in his mouth while playing with the right one with his other hand. 

"Fuck," you throw your head back at the new sensation and grab a hold of his hair. It's when he sucks a little harshly, that you look at him with eyes filled with pleasure. You notice the deep frown on his face while he plays with your tits and it does something unspeakable to you, it makes you want to skip everything and just have him inside you.

He gives equal amounts of attention to the other breast and then when he feels satisfied with the work of art he's left, he decides it is time to wander lower. 

He slides the dress off further, now exposing your stomach. His palm gently runs across the area and he leaves light kisses on his wake. The sensation makes you sigh for how in contrast they are with his previous demonstrations, which were rather rough and desperate. While these touches are soft and sensual, with a hint of teasing to them. 

Finally sliding the dress all the way down, he looks at you with anticipation in his eyes, "Step out of it." 

You oblige and step out of the dress that now pools around at your feet.  

"The underwear too," Jungkook asks, dying to see you naked. 

You smile a little at his words, understanding that he's getting impatient and you thrive in the thrill of what's to come. You hook your fingers around the band of your underwear and tug it down, getting rid of it. 

Jungkook's pupils dilate seeing every inch of your skin exposed to his eyes.

He experienced the most vulnerable part of him getting exposed and it made him want to crawl inside a hole and never come out. Anything was better than you being scared of him, being disgusted with him or feeling betrayed by him. But here you are, willingly standing naked, right in the middle of a dense forest with eyes filled with want for him. 

The wolf in him feels a deep fire ignite at the sight of you not shying away even though theoretically, anyone could step in at any moment and see the both of you in this compromising position. It assures him that you're not ashamed of him. It makes the beast in him feel accepted. 

Although he would like to have you naked like this a little longer, he reminds himself that he needs to put the blazer on you, for you'd need support for the sinful things he wishes to do to you and truth be told, he cannot hold himself back any longer. 

Removing the piece of garment, he drapes it on you. Taking a few steps back he curses when he takes in the full view of you in nothing but just a black blazer. His blazer. 

You're a tad bit disappointed when Jungkook closes the distance, for you were enjoying the sight of his glistening chest but your disappointment is gone when you realise this allows you to run your hands all over his body. 

You and Jungkook feel each other like you both are starved of touch and as if it's the air you need to survive. It's also while Jungkook feels every inch of your skin that he slowly and gradually, corners you against the tree, finally having you the way he wants to. 

He litters kisses in a straight line from your neck to your navel and then gets down on his knees. The new position has his face right in front of your sex.

"Please do something," you plead, shivering when his exhale hits your core. 

He merely hums, enjoying the sweet smell of your arousal that hits his senses. Using the tip of his thumbs, he gently parts your folds for your wetness to be revealed. "You smell so sweet, sweetheart." 

"Do you want me to have a taste?" He continues, now locking eyes with you. A soft whimper from you is all he needs to put his mouth on your nether region. 

He doesn't start gently, oh no, he straight away starts drinking all you have to offer as if he's been thirsty for ages. His tongue runs messily all over your insides, sometimes messaging your hole, other times stimulating the bundle of nerves that have you wildly arching your body with pleasure. 

"Fuck, fuck, fuck," you chant repeatedly, the forest being the only audience of your sinful words. As much as you'd like to drag it out and take it slow, you don't think you'd be able to hold yourself from orgasming any longer. It feels like it's only been a minute since Jungkook started eating you out and you're already about to fall over the edge. But can you really be blamed when Jungkook has gone completely wild with his tongue down there? "Shit, I'm about to come."

Jungkook slows down. 

His tongue all of a sudden, turns gentle, languidly cleaning up your arousal but somehow still holding the same amount of passion as before. 

You're not complaining but the switch of pace has you craving more, because you oh so desperately, need to cum. "I need to cum, Jungkook."

"Not yet, sweetheart, I need your cunt on my mouth for a little longer," he whispers, his words which practically vibrate against your folds. 

The words are on the tip of your tongue as to how he could have just started slow and gradually built the pace, rather than snatching away your high right when you were about to hit it. However, you keep the words to yourself when you realise just how much Jungkook is enjoying softly lapping at your essence as if it's his favourite treat. It also doesn't take your body long to forget the stolen high and to start enjoying the slow pace. This time instead of wild loud moans, soft gasps and broken whimpers leave your lips. 

You know Jungkook is teasing you, he likes doing that. He likes giving you pleasure in a way, which with time gets a little too much and which has you begging for relief of any sort. It's not like you cannot cum like this, you can. After all, Jungkook is a little too good with his mouth but if you let go this way, the pleasure will be one that will hit you in the form of gentle waves. However, what you crave is a wave that hits you at once like a tsunami. 

Hence, you beg. "Don't be gentle. Make me cum. Hard."

Your words are desperate, a plea to Jungkook for you will lose your mind if he doesn't let you have your relief. And that's all Jungkook wanted, for you to beg in a helpless voice. Feeling satisfied, he sucks on your clit harshly. To add to your pleasure he inserts two fingers and pumps them in and out at a slow pace until you get adjusted. Once you seem to have no difficulty with his fingers, he starts a ruthless pace, one which has you seeing stars. 

While he fingers you with one hand, his other shimmies up and slides underneath the blazer to play with your tits. He squeezes your tits to his heart's content and pinches your nipples until your eyes roll back. 

Your head thrashes wildly and you grab a fistful of his hair. "Fuck, you feel so good."

Jungkook has a bit of a dirty mouth. One which you clearly enjoy. And there's so much he wishes to say right now. He wants to tell you how sweet your cunt tastes, how tightly it's clamped around his fingers and what a sight you're from down here. But he cannot afford to not have his mouth on you, while you cum. That'd be such a waste. And if he were to go by the way your hole clenches around his fingers like a fucking vice, you're close. It only motivates him to increase his pace. 

That paired with the stimulation he provides on your clit and your tits, has your whole body heating up and the very next moment it all explodes. You cry out loudly, and your grip on his hair tightens even more as the wave hits you like a tsunami, making you lose all control over your senses. All you feel is the overwhelming pleasure that consumes you.

Jungkook smiles against your cunt at the way you fall apart, thinking to himself, you for sure would have lost your balance had it not been for the tree you lean against.

He helps you ride your high and once you seem to have caught your breath, he places a few more kitten-like kisses before getting up on his feet. 

You feel weak but you cannot not kiss him with everything that you have got in you. A hum of satisfaction escapes your lips when you're greeted with your essence and it urges you to have a taste of him.

Your hands find their way to his belt and you attempt to unbuckle it. Jungkook chuckles against your mouth, noticing how your hurried actions, instead of getting the job done quickly, lead to you messily fumbling with the belt. Taking matters into his own hands, he stops kissing you for a brief moment to get rid of the belt himself. 

"Fuck, thank you," that's all you say before roughly tugging his trousers down.

Your mouth practically salivates at the sight of his hard length that begs to be free from the confinement of his boxers. The dark wet patch against the piece of clothing serves as an invitation for you.

Thankfully, you do not have to put your patience to the test to get rid of his boxers. It's done swiftly without much struggle causing his length to spring out. You immediately have your hands on him. Collecting the precum from the tip, you rub it all over his length. 

Jungkook groans right next to your ears, his breathing accelerates the more you run your hands on his cock. "Yes, baby, just like that."

You feel his tip leak more beads of precum and it adds to your desire of having a taste of him. "I need to have you in my mouth."

Jungkook stops you before you can get down on your knees. His lust-filled eyes, spark with a shred of amusement. "You will hurt your knees, baby."

It's only then that you are reminded of the fact that you're in a forest and that you indeed will end up hurting your knees if you were to get down on them on the forest floor. 

"Then fuck me," you say with a gruff, a tad bit annoyed that you cannot have what you want, at this very moment.

"That I will," Jungkook chuckles darkly. Saying so, he presses his length against your folds. "Do you know how wet your pussy is?"

"Why don't you do something about it?" You mewl softly, enticing him to just fuck you rough and hard. 

"Oh don't worry, darling, you won't be able to walk after this," he promises.

It isn't just his words that affect you, it's also the way he's looking at you. You have noticed there's something more carnal about him today and if you're not wrong it has everything to do with him not having to hide anymore. It's him expressing his need without having to hold anything back, now that he knows he's accepted and loved wholly. 

"I'd like that very much." The sultry, seductive tone is intentional for you know that Jungkook plans on teasing you. But you cannot wait any further. You need to have him inside you now and you only wish you can make him as impatient as you. However, Jungkook seems to have understood what you're trying to do. It's not to say that your tactic doesn't work, it does. He starts rubbing himself against you faster but he's not willing to give in, just yet. 

You make another attempt by pinching his nipples. In the various occasions that you've been intimate with Jungkook, you've learnt that those two buds are perhaps the most sensitive spot for him.

It's once again proved right when he lets out a low growl and the next thing you know he's pushing his cock inside you. "You couldn't wait a bit longer, could you?" 

"When it comes to you, I do have a habit of becoming impatient," your voice comes out hoarse, the pleasure from having his length inside you clouding your senses. You just feel so full. 

Jungkook hums in approval and once you give him the green signal, he builds up a slow and steady pace. 

"Fuck baby, your cunt is so tight," the words are whispered against your neck, as you feel Jungkook gradually set up a brutal speed. 

You tug on his hair harshly to get a grip on reality as your vision starts to blur. You whimper, wail, scream and cry his name repeatedly, all of which fuels Jungkook to go faster and deeper. 

He notices the lightheaded look in your eyes and swiftly hooks his arms around your thighs to lift you. You instinctively wrap your legs around his waist and secure your position. 

The effects of your previous orgasm hasn't completely faded yet and from this angle, his dick hits the golden spot which makes your high approach faster than you had anticipated. 

"Jungkook, I'm gonna cum," the words are broken and breathless. 

The new information earns a few slow determined thrusts from him, before he speeds up again. His forehead touches yours and you feel the sweat that has built up on his skin. You notice the way he is so focused on your pleasure, on every moan that escapes your lips and every expression on your face. 

It all gets to the point where you can't hold yourself back anymore. Throwing your head back, you reach another high and hold to any part of Jungkook that you can to hold onto your sanity. 

"Baby your pussy just got so tight," he speaks in a hushed voice, the fucked out look in your eyes and the essence that he feels on his cock, as an after-effect of your orgasm, now making him chase his high.

"Cum inside me, please," you say in a weak voice, your cunt still convulsing. 

"You know I'm a werewolf right?" He queries, with a dark look in his eyes. Receiving a nod from you, he speaks again, "Do you know what that makes you?"

"My mate."

That's the only warning you get before he's pounding into you like his life depends on it. The sound of skin slapping makes you dizzy and you feel so desperate to feel him spill inside you. Thankfully, it takes a few more thrusts before he paints your insides with ropes of thick cum. 

You both stay in that position, foreheads resting against each other as you breathe heavily, feeling totally spent. 

"That was something," you mumble when you seem to have regained enough energy to speak.

"That was intense," Jungkook agrees, removing the strands of hair that had fallen on your face.

"I enjoyed it though," you smile up at him, finding it kind of silly how you ended up getting railed against a tree from running for your life. 

As he slowly feels himself coming down from his high, he feels the disbelief resurface again. Did he just fuck you after you found out he's a werewolf? And you just let him and confessed to enjoying it? And are you still here looking up at him with those bright eyes? 

"You're unreal," he sighs, closing his eyes and inhaling your sweet scent. 

"You're the one who's a werewolf and you are telling me, I am unreal?" Your brows quirk up as you tease him.

"I–It's just unbelievable that you're still here–"

"So a good round of fucking wasn't enough for you to believe that I'm here?" Your words earn a small chuckle from him which soon turns into a warm smile when you place a kiss on his jaw. "There's never gonna be a good enough reason for me to stop loving you, Jungkook."

"I promise I'll never hide anything from you again," his nose gently rubs against yours.

"I hope you don't ever feel the need to," you hum. "But for now, you need to do me a favour and carry me on your back."

"Told you, you won't be able to walk after," he winks, with a proud look. 

"That and the fact that I got a cramp due to all that running."

His worry is immediate. "You got a cramp? Why didn't you tell me? Shit, did I hurt you while having sex?"

"Nope, it didn't cause much trouble," you shake your head to ease him. It's the truth, the cramp doesn't seem to have had much of an affect. It's only when you try to stretch you legs, that it causes the slightest of sting. 

"Let's head back, I'll massage the area for you, that should help," he comments as he quickly starts collecting the clothes that you two have dropped on the ground without a care. 

Once he has his trousers back in place and has collected everything that is needed, he asks you to hold the clothes. Then swiftly, in the blink of an eye, he is picking you up in bridal style. A surprised gasp escapes your lips but it soon turns into giggles when you realise that Jungkook's upper half is still unclothed and you get exclusive access to it on your way back. 

"Walk slow, take as much time you need," you quip, your hands slowly and dramatically inching closer to his chest. 

He rolls his eyes, pretending to be done with your silly behaviour when in reality, it's one of the things that he so dearly loves about you. 

He knows you tend to get sleepy after sex and the only reason you're being this talkative and playful, when your body is probably trying to doze off, is because you want him to be at ease. You know him a little too well and know that in your silence, he will probably overthink again. Its not just your words and touchy hands but it's also this unspoken thoughtful gesture, that makes Jungkook finally relax and let go of the notion that you'll regret or change your views about him.

Oh, how dearly he loves you. 

Bless whoever had started the rumour about the documentary. Had it not been for them, he would not have you in his arms right now, making him feel like the luckiest man alive.

Gosh, he cannot wait to spend the rest of his life with you.

I think I have FINALLY cracked my winter skincare like my skin is always sooo dry and flaky and itchy in the winter (I am prone to eczema) but right now it’s so smooth and glowing and hydrated and it has improved my mood a lot…fyi I use the ordinary lactic acid 5%, the ordinary hyalorunic acid and the aveeno sensitive skin cream and at night (this is a REALLY crucial step which I think makes all the difference) I also slather a layer of aquaphor over my whole face to seal in the moisture. for the first time since lockdown I’ve also been diligently taking vitamin d tablets every day which I think has helped too. if you live in a northern country you neeeed to be getting on the vitamin d tablets because the lack of sunlight is no joke!!

[skyloftian-nutcase]

Hello!

just thought I’d pop in and ask how’s it going? Are you eating/drinking/breathing/homeostasising?

And in the topic of homeostasis, I have learned the biology. Where is my degree? I don’t want to do another year of community college; one should be enough (translation, I have a biology thing tomorrow that I didn’t study for so I’m just going to add this for my ever disintegrating memory)

Without oxygen the body goes into anaerobic respiration (c6h12o6 -> 2c3h6o3 + 2ATP) which produces less atp than aerobic respiration (c6h12o6 + 6o2 = 6c02 + 6h20 + 38ATP) and less atp means less energy means cells won’t have enough energy to retain homeostasis and then they perish

Enzymes need a specific PH and temperature to work right. If a cell is too hot then the enzyme denatures so the active site (the place where it takes the stuff it needs to break down or smth like that) gets damaged so it can’t, so it can’t break it down which means the cell can’t utilize the energy (EX: having to break down a polysaccharide and it can’t) therefore it will not have the material to go through cellular respiration and therefore not get energy and therefore not retain homeostasis and therefore perish.

Osmosis. It’s why you can die from drinking too much water. Water will go into cells because they have more solute in them, and the internal (cell) and external (water) environment will want to reach equilibrium. So more water will enter causing the cell to swell and burst and therefore it can’t retain homeostasis because my is broken so it will perish.

I am so sorry for putting this in ignore that-How are you?

Hello! :) I’m sort of homeostasising, my cells are probably screaming for some more water and my neurons are definitely on strike over lack of REM cycles. But there is a puppy sleeping on my legs so that makes me happy ☺️

Ahhh BIOLOGY :D That was my major in college, I love bio! Let’s add medicine to it!

When this anaerobic metabolism kicks in your body is flooded with lactic acid as the byproduct, decreasing your pH. We can detect the change in acidity and an increased lactate and it can help us determine lots of diagnostic factors in conjunction with context clues. For example, on my unit we get patients directly from open heart surgery, and their lactic is often elevated because they’re so dry from bleeding and insensible fluid loss that their body is struggling to get oxygen delivered everywhere because the fluid that helps carry it is low. Another cause could be simply that the patient’s red blood cells, the oxygen carrying critters themselves, aren’t as multiple as they should be because the patient bled them out.

pH changes in the body, because of what you explained, can absolutely destroy and derail everything. We have a test called an arterial blood gas where we look specifically at pH and its contributing factors (like lactic acid buildup or carbon dioxide buildup) to ensure the body stays within its strict range of operation, which is 7.35-7.45. You can be acidotic (pH < 7.35) or alkalotic (pH > 7.45). Causes roughly break down to being metabolic in nature (like too much lactic acid) or respiratory in nature (carbon dioxide levels in the body), so you’ll hear the terms “respiratory acidosis” or “metabolic alkalosis” thrown around!

Osmosis is a beautiful thing. Too much water can burst cells, yes, though that usually takes an insane amount of intake for a healthy person. Another thing fluids in the body do is called third spacing, where water just seeps into the space around cells as well because of osmosis. You can have someone who has too much fluid in their body but you can’t get them to pee it out because it isn’t in their vasculature to get to the kidneys, it’s third spacing and making them look puffy instead. So your blood has this great protein in it called albumin, it’s a colloid that attracts fluid and often binds with many compounds to help transport them through the body. If you give someone albumin through an IV, it can often suck fluid out of the third space and back into the blood vessels!

HA you’re apologizing about talking biology to me, a complete nerd? I hope you see how silly that is now 😂

I’m doing well, just really freaking tired. It’s probably gonna make me miserable tomorrow lol. How about you?

[ryahisbored]

Hello! My name is Ryah (pronounced like rye-ah)- welcome to my page :D

First thing you need to know: GO READ MY WORK (pulls out knife) DO IT GO NOW HERES THE LINK GO READ IT RIGHT NOW

ITS WRITTEN WITH @taline13 SO GO FOLLOW HER TOO!

Now that that's out of the way, hi! Uh, I am a Christian, I live in Canada, I am a young adult- and have way to many random interests to count. Also have an absurd amount of ADHD and a chronic pain disorder that isn't really named, but could either be Exercise-Induced Lactic Acidosis or Lactic Acid Clearance Disorder. Anywho, it just means I am in a nearly constant amount of pain at least somewhere in my body at all times. Regardless, it just means that I am a human that struggles with various different things - I don't see a need for that many labels even though I could give myself more.

Things I love talking about:

religion

me, myself, and my chronic pain B)

oc's, fantasy, and DnD

Brazilian music

Anything that has to do with the ocean

psychology and philosophy

Taco Thanksgiving Shopping (entertainment purposes only)

Count Vanilla Manilla, Lindsay, and I were at Publix shopping for the essentials of a Thanksgiving meal with tacos because that's what King Chocolate-Covered Gummy Bear said his sister loved to eat. We also had to take into account that there were vegans at the reception, which is the original reason we were sent to the store.

Makolai the Great Arc Angel flew smack dab into us. We told him about our great bullshit adventures of this year, and he mentioned that he and his wife, Coraline were doing well and that they were in a spiritual war.

Count Vanilla Manilla was rattling off ingredients from his long list after things were, in his opinion, getting too political: corn tortillas, black beans, pinto beans, great white beans, brown rice, white rice, spinach, tomatoes, mushrooms, jalapenos, onions, cilantro, serrano peppers, Annie's vegan macaroni and cheese, Daiya cheddar cheeze shreds, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, orange bell pepper, green bell pepper, limes, ground pepper, green tomatillos, red tomatillos, Tabasco, Tofurkey, potatoes, green beans, vegan flan, and whole golden kernel corn.

"Are we getting more margarine?" Lindsay asked.

"Oh yes, I forgot," Count Vanilla Manilla said.

"But we are not getting Blue Bonnet," I clarified.

"No, but are we getting Smart Balance with olive oil?" Colonel Mac asked.

"No," Lindsay said.

"Really? That's the kind I usually get for Mr. Williamson and his wife," I said.

Lindsay then stared at me as we were picking up all necessary items from produce: spinach, tomatoes, mushrooms, serrano peppers, potatoes, jalapenos, onions, cilantro, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, orange bell pepper, green bell pepper, limes, green tomatillos, green beans, and red tomatillos. She said, "I heard Smart Balance wasn't very balanced at all."

"Everyone's been saying that lately," I said.

Lindsay sighed. "Let's go to the margarine aisle. All of life's questions will be answered there," she said.

So we travelled clear on the other side of the store to the margarine aisle.

She pulled out the Smart Balance Margarine with olive oil from the refrigerator and read the ingredients. "Vegetable Oil Blend (Canola, Palm, Extra Virgin Olive, And Flaxseed Oils), Water, Less Than 2 Percent Of: Salt, Pea Protein, Natural And Artificial Flavors, Sunflower Lecithin, Vitamin A Palmitate, Beta Carotene (Color), Vitamin D, Monoglycerides Of Vegetable Fatty Acids (Emulsifier), And Potassium Sorbate, Lactic Acid, TBHQ and Calcium Disodium EDTA (to Protect Freshness)."

"Oh yeah, that stuff is evil!" I said.

"Precisely," Lindsay said.

Count Vanilla Manilla looked up what TBHQ was on his smartphone. "Tert-Butylhydroquinone (TBHQ, tertiary butylhydroquinone) is a synthetic aromatic organic compound which is a type of phenol. It is a derivative of hydroquinone, substituted with a tert-butyl group," he read.

"It's an oil we have no business eating it in the first place," I said.

"Exactly!" Lindsay shouted.

Makolai the Great Arc Angel said, "Wow. What the fuck? Thank Goodness I don't get that. But I must check my butter at home to ensure that there is no TBHQ in it again. I shall return." He then flew out of the store.

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

Crickets with Angel wings chirped as they flew through Publix. When we walked by the free sample booth, a FreeLee the Banana Girl video popped up on the screen.

https://youtu.be/ZRuytGHlpNc

Too long didn't watch (or maybe you did): It is about what she eats on a high-carb fruitarian diet... with a bunch of sugar.

Lindsay rolled her eyes and moved on with her life.

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

Makolai the Great Arc Angel then screamed as he flew to the margarine aisle.

Everyone in the store looked at Makolai the Great Arc Angel and gave him their undivided attention.

"Fucking hell! Smart Balance invaded my refrigerator! So what if it is on sale?! It is poisoning humankind! I must burn it! NICOLE! Open the glass door with the Smart Balance margarine in it!" Makolai the Great Arc Angel shouted.

I opened the glass door with the Smart Balance margarine in it.

Makolai the Great Arc Angel shot blue death rays out of his eyes and burned all products related to Smart Balance margarine and screamed.

Lindsay screamed. Everyone in the store screamed. The cast of PeeWee Herman also screamed. Apparently, they needed to go grocery shopping, too.

"But remember. Save the Earth Balance margarine that's soy free. It's legit," Lindsay said in a normal voice. She then grabbed the Earth Balance Soy Free margarine and put it in the cart.

The Grinch then hobbled over and screamed. "Smart Balance is a balance of over-price and chemical deathhhhhh," he said. Then he hobbled away.

Makolai the Great Arc Angel then announced, "If we were not making vegan Taco Mac with Count Vanilla Extract..."

Lindsay, Count Vanilla Extract, The Grinch, Sir Paul the Goat, Smeagull, the cast of PeeWee Herman, and everyone in the store screamed. "Taco Mac with Count Vanilla" was still the phrase of the last three years.

Makolai the Great Arc Angel then continued, "Then I would prefer butter or a buttery spread."

"Agreed!" Count Vanilla Extract, Lindsay, other non-vegans, and I said with authority.

"Wait? I'm Vanilla Extract now?" Count Vanilla Extract asked as he raised his eyebrow.

"Not that I use much butter, but I know better than to use margarine on my own account. It is evil," Makolai the Great Arc Angel shouted. "And yes. I dub thee Extract. It's Thanksgiving, a holiday of using vanilla extract. Manilla is not sufficient for your caliber."

Sir Paul the Goat bleated loudly. "But it rhymed!" he shouted.

"In that case, am I granted the powers of baker?" Count Vanilla Extract asked as he walked around Publix with Makolai the Great Arc Angel.

"Absolutely!" Makolai the Great Arc Angel said with a salesangel smile as he pointed his two index fingers at Count Vanilla Extract dramatically. "And a baker's cap and apron to boot!"

"Oh boy! Grant me baking powers!" Count Vanilla Extract spoke with excitement.

"As you wish," Makolai the Great Arc Angel said with a huge smile before he chanted in a dark angelic language.

All shoppers were watching with awe.

Makolai the Great Arc Angel continued to chant as Publix was getting darker.

Count Vanilla Extract was smiling widely, and his teeth were getting whiter. He growled with excitement.

Makolai the Great Arc Angel continued to chant before he sang and danced to Lazy Town's song, "Cooking by the Book." https://youtu.be/ZD71JeX4Vk0?feature=shared

He was definitely one of the citizens of Lazy Town before he moved here.

OH SHIT!

Makolai the Great Arc Angel stopped everything after he sang "Caaaaaaaaaake" for just a liiiittle too long.

Count Vanilla Extract turned into a gray cub who wore the same outfit as the Pitsbury Doughboy.

Everyone gasped.

Makolai the Great Arc Angel looked over and gasped in horror. "OH SHIT!!!! I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry. I held that note for just a liiiiiittle too long. Oh God I gotta reverse this!" he spoke quickly and frantically.

Count Vanilla Extract looked down at his strong paws and grinned widely. "COOL!!!" he said in a higher-pitched Southern accent.

"You're okay with this?" Makolai the Great Arc Angel said with his eyebrow raised.

"YEAH!" Count Vanilla Extract said as he jumped out of his chair. "I can bake! I can bake! Eat your heart out, Martha Stewart!" he started to skip. "And I'm wearing an apron, motherfuckers!" He skipped around the store and growled cheerfully. His white apron swished.

"Awwwww!!!!" everyone in the store said.

"Vanilla Mac is so cute," I said.

He turned around, skipped over to me, and looked up to me. "I like that name more than Count Vanilla Extract. I am a baker, not a count. I was a vampire Cub, so I had to be a Count," he spoke with a cute cub growl.

"YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT!" Makolai the Great Arc Angel shouted. "Keep going."

"Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you," Vanilla Mac said.

Everyone said, "Awwwwwwww."

"You are welcome!" Makolai the Great Arc Angel shouted.

The cast of PeeWee Herman, FreeLee the Banana Girl, the Grinch, Seagull, and Paul the Goat screamed.

"And I am Chef Makolai!" the angel said before thunder, lightning, and light came upon him. He transformed into a chef. His wings were as white as Vanilla Ice. He now wore a big white chef's hat, sea green tie with a cupcake on it, a bright white dress shirt, bright white slacks, white shoes, and a long sea green apron. His skin was as white as snow, and he had a fiery red beard. "Happy Thanksgiving, Mother Fuckers!"

"Happy Thanksgiving, Chef Makolai," Vanilla Mac said.

"Thank you. Also, I dub thee Chef Vanilla Mac," Chef Makolai said with a booming voice.

"OKAY! OKAY! OKAY! OKAY! OKAY! OKAY! OKAY!" Chef Vanilla Mac shouted. "I am only seven after all."

"I have spoken!" Chef Makolai said.

"King Bruce Ice has a story with a title of him speaking," Chef Vanilla Mac said.

"I read that months ago!" Chef Makolai said with excitement.

"That meeting was bonkers. But we really do need to finish this shopping. I don't want him speaking about our tardiness," Lindsay said.

"No thank you. I don't want THAT AS A STORY!" Chef Makolai said.

Lindsay, Chef Makolai, Chef Vanilla Mac, and I continued to shop. We picked up Annie's vegan macaroni and cheese, canned pinto beans, canned black beans, canned great white canned beans, corn tortillas, bags of brown rice, bags of white rice, vegan flan, Tobasco, Tofurkey, and Daiya cheddar cheeze shreds.

Lindsay then looked around the canned vegetable aisle to look for the canned whole golden kernel corn.

I looked frantically for the golden whole kernel corn while Lindsay and Chef Vanilla Mac were absent-mindedly putting the other groceries in the cart.

“WHERE THE FUCK IS MY CORN?” I screamed loudly to the point where the whole store could hear. The ground shook.

Chef Vanilla Mac dropped the list because he was shocked at the random loud volume of my voice. “Chef Vanilla Mac, find the fucking corn now! What the hell?! Where the hell’s my corn, Chef Vanilla Mac?!”

“I don’t know! I'm trying. Stop yelling at me!” Chef Vanilla Mac said as he was crying and slumping his shoulders.

He was slightly shocked when a woman named Karen joined in with her voice. “Yeah, where the fuck is ze corn? You’d think canned corn would be easy to find in a fuckin’ grocery store,” she yelled.

A store associate rushed to the scene in a panic. “What kind of corn are you looking for, ma’am?” she asked.

Another woman sales associate chimed in, “We’d love to help.”

“Golden kernel,” I said.

Everyone in the store was looking for the corn she mentioned. Even Chef Vanilla Mac and Lindsay were in on looking for it. Lindsay lifted Chef Vanilla Mac in her arms as they looked for the corn.

“No, no, not here, dammit,” a fat Karen said. “Son ov a bitch!”

“Not here,” Chef Vanilla Mac said.

“Is this it, ma’am?” one of the customers asked me as she presented me with a can of God-forsaken creamed corn.

Chef Vanilla Mac randomly farted. It smelled like too much tacos.

“No! I said ‘Golden kernel,’ you stupid mother fucker!” I yelled as I got in her dopey-looking face. “I already told you. ‘Golden kernel’ ‘Golden kernel’ Goddammit!”

“Sorry, ma’am, Lord, please help us find this ‘Golden kernel’ corn,” she said.

The fat Karen interrupted, “SHIT WHERE THE FUCK IS THIS FUCKASS WOMAN'S CORN?”

“All of a sudden my corn is gone. It has been on this particular aisle for like three fucking years. Why is it gone? Where the fuck is the CORN?” I ranted.

Chef Makolai carried several cans of whole golden kernel corn as he flew to the carts we were pushing. Angels and Doughboys literally sang as he flew. It had no added salt, so the angels and Doughboys sang even louder.

He saved Publix.

"Really Publix saved Publix. It had this corn in stock. And I found it. They didn't move it 40 feet down like the Publix on I-11 did five years ago," Chef Makolai pointed out. He flapped his wings quickly for effect.

"But you still found the corn and saved Publix," I said.

He stared at me. I stared at him. We blinked. There was a moment in which I was honored by his existence.

"Thank God Publix can stay alive. Now can we pleeeasssse get out of here!? I would like to get over this Taco Mac with me series and move on," Chef Vanilla Mac said. "And if I have to listen to chemically-induced ingredients, I am going to scream."

Chef Makolai, Lindsay, the cast of PeeWee Herman, the Grinch, Smeagull, Garfield, and everyone in the store screamed.

"At least no one is reading ingredients. Ugh!" Chef Vanilla Mac said as he ran like the cub he was to the check-out.

"In non-GMO, organic, gluten-free corn tortillas, they have WATER, YELLOW CORN MASA FLOUR ENGINEERED BY DR. ROBOTNIK AND MAMA LUIGI, ORGANIC GUAR GUM, and LIME" I said as I read the ingredients just to troll Chef Vanilla Mac.

Chef Vanilla Mac screamed so loud that everyone else started screaming. "THAT'S ABUSE!!!!!" he shouted.

Paul the Goat even walked back in the store and bleated.

Then we went to check-out because Chef Vanilla Mac just couldn't take anymore.

How to Manage Keratosis Pilaris Effectively at Home

Keratosis Pilaris (KP), often referred to as “chicken skin,” is a common but harmless skin condition. It is characterized by rough, small bumps, typically found on the upper arms, thighs, cheeks, or buttocks. These bumps result from a buildup of keratin, a protein that protects the skin from infections and harmful substances. Although KP is harmless, it can be a cosmetic concern for many.

If you are struggling with keratosis pilaris, there are several home remedies and management tips you can incorporate into your routine to improve the appearance of your skin. Let’s explore these methods in detail, including insights from Dr. Pretty Singla, Dermatologist at Pretty Skin Clinic.

Understanding Keratosis Pilaris

Causes of Keratosis Pilaris:

Keratin Buildup: Excess keratin blocks hair follicles, leading to the formation of small bumps.

Genetics: If a family member has KP, you are more likely to develop it.

Dry Skin: KP often worsens during dry weather or winter months.

Underlying Conditions: People with eczema or other atopic conditions may be more prone to KP.

Symptoms:

Rough, sandpaper-like texture.

Small, painless bumps.

Redness or inflammation around the bumps (in some cases).

Home Remedies for Managing Keratosis Pilaris

1. Exfoliation

Regular exfoliation can help remove dead skin cells and improve the skin’s texture.

Gentle Scrubs: Use a mild exfoliant with fine granules or a loofah to avoid irritating the skin. Over-scrubbing can worsen KP.

Chemical Exfoliants: Products containing alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs), beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs), or urea can break down keratin plugs. Look for ingredients like:

Lactic Acid

Glycolic Acid

Salicylic Acid

2. Moisturizing

Hydration is key to reducing the rough texture of KP.

Use a thick, fragrance-free moisturizer immediately after showering to lock in moisture.

Look for moisturizers containing:

Ceramides (to repair the skin barrier)

Hyaluronic Acid (to retain moisture)

Glycerin (to draw moisture into the skin)

3. Warm, Not Hot Showers

Hot water can strip the skin of its natural oils, making KP worse. Opt for short, warm showers instead, and use a gentle, sulfate-free cleanser.

4. Topical Treatments

Incorporate treatments specifically designed to target keratosis pilaris.

Retinoids: Over-the-counter or prescription retinoids can help by promoting cell turnover. Use sparingly, as these can cause dryness or irritation.

Coconut Oil: Known for its emollient properties, coconut oil can soften the skin and reduce redness.

5. Humidifier Usage

If you live in a dry climate or are experiencing harsh winter weather, using a humidifier can help maintain moisture levels in your skin.

6. Dietary Adjustments

While diet doesn’t directly cause KP, ensuring adequate intake of omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins A, D, and E, and antioxidants can support overall skin health.

Expert Insights: Dr. Pretty Singla

According to Dr. Pretty Singla, managing keratosis pilaris requires consistent care and a combination of approaches. At Pretty Skin Clinic, she emphasizes the importance of using scientifically-backed treatments and being patient with results. “While KP may not have a permanent cure, regular skincare practices can significantly improve its appearance over time,” she says.

Products and Ingredients to Consider

Recommended Ingredients:

Lactic Acid: Helps exfoliate and hydrate the skin.

Urea: Softens and smooths rough patches.

Salicylic Acid: Penetrates into hair follicles to reduce buildup.

Ceramides: Strengthen the skin’s protective barrier.

Over-the-Counter Products:

AmLactin Daily Moisturizing Lotion (Source: Cleveland Clinic)

CeraVe SA Lotion for Rough & Bumpy Skin (Source: Healthline)

Eucerin Roughness Relief Lotion

When to See a Dermatologist

While home remedies can be effective, some cases of KP may require professional intervention. Consider consulting a dermatologist if:

The condition is causing significant discomfort or emotional distress.

Over-the-counter products fail to show results after consistent use.

You experience severe redness, swelling, or pain.

Myths About Keratosis Pilaris

Myth 1: KP Only Affects Children

Fact: Although it’s common in children and teenagers, adults can also develop KP.

Myth 2: KP Is Contagious

Fact: KP is not contagious. It’s caused by keratin buildup, not an infection.

Myth 3: You Can’t Improve KP

Fact: While KP cannot be cured, consistent skincare routines can improve its appearance significantly.

Conclusion

Keratosis pilaris, though harmless, can be managed effectively with proper care. From gentle exfoliation to hydrating treatments, a consistent skincare routine can make a significant difference in the texture and appearance of your skin. For personalized advice and advanced treatments, consider visiting Pretty Skin Clinic or consulting with Dr. Pretty Singla. Remember, patience and persistence are key when it comes to managing KP.

What Are the Best Supplements for Fitness Goals?

Achieving fitness goals requires a combination of consistent training, a balanced diet, and proper supplementation. Whether you're looking to build muscle, increase endurance, or speed up recovery, choosing the right supplements can make a significant difference. In fact, finding effective supplements for fitness can help bridge any nutritional gaps while enhancing overall performance. From protein powders to essential vitamins, understanding which products align with your goals is essential for success.

1. Protein Powders

Protein is the cornerstone of muscle repair and growth. For individuals aiming to gain muscle or maintain lean mass, protein powders such as whey, casein, or plant-based options are popular choices. Whey protein, in particular, is rapidly absorbed, making it ideal post-workout to kickstart recovery. On the other hand, casein is a slow-digesting protein, perfect for nighttime to support muscle repair while you sleep. Plant-based proteins, such as pea or brown rice protein, are excellent alternatives for those with dietary restrictions or a preference for vegan options.

2. Creatine Monohydrate

Creatine is one of the most well-researched and widely used fitness supplements. It enhances strength, improves performance during high-intensity activities, and supports muscle recovery. Creatine works by replenishing ATP, the energy source for muscle contractions, allowing you to train harder and for longer durations. Typically taken pre- or post-workout, creatine monohydrate is a safe and effective option for individuals looking to maximize their power and strength gains.

3. Branched-Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs)

BCAAs, which include leucine, isoleucine, and valine, are essential amino acids that promote muscle growth and reduce fatigue. They play a crucial role in muscle protein synthesis, particularly during intense training sessions. BCAAs are especially helpful for athletes or those on calorie-restricted diets as they help prevent muscle breakdown while supporting recovery. Sipping on a BCAA supplement during or after a workout can help improve endurance and minimize post-workout soreness.

4. Omega-3 Fatty Acids

Omega-3 fatty acids, commonly derived from fish oil or algae, offer significant benefits for fitness enthusiasts. They reduce inflammation caused by intense exercise, promote joint health, and support cardiovascular function. Omega-3s are also linked to improved recovery time, allowing individuals to train consistently without excessive soreness. Adding omega-3 supplements to your regimen is particularly beneficial if your diet lacks sufficient fatty fish like salmon or mackerel.

5. Pre-Workout Boosters

Pre-workout supplements are designed to enhance energy, focus, and endurance during training. They often contain caffeine, beta-alanine, and nitric oxide precursors like L-arginine or citrulline malate. Caffeine provides an immediate energy boost, while beta-alanine reduces muscle fatigue by buffering lactic acid build-up. Pre-workout formulas help you push through tough sessions with improved stamina and mental clarity. However, it's important to monitor caffeine intake to avoid potential side effects like jitters or sleep disturbances.

6. Multivitamins

Multivitamins are essential for supporting overall health and filling nutritional gaps, especially for active individuals with increased demands. Intense exercise can deplete key vitamins and minerals, including B-complex vitamins, vitamin D, and magnesium. These nutrients play a role in energy production, immune support, and muscle function. Taking a high-quality multivitamin ensures your body has the necessary nutrients to perform at its best and recover efficiently.

7. Beta-Alanine

Beta-alanine is a naturally occurring amino acid that enhances muscular endurance by reducing fatigue. It works by increasing carnosine levels in the muscles, which helps delay the onset of lactic acid accumulation during intense exercise. Athletes involved in endurance sports or high-intensity interval training (HIIT) can benefit significantly from beta-alanine supplementation. Regular use can improve overall workout performance, allowing you to complete more reps or maintain higher intensity levels for longer periods.

8. Electrolyte Replacements

Hydration is a critical factor in fitness performance, and electrolytes play a key role in maintaining fluid balance, muscle contractions, and nerve function. During intense workouts, sweating leads to the loss of electrolytes like sodium, potassium, and magnesium. Replenishing these lost minerals with an electrolyte drink helps prevent dehydration, muscle cramps, and fatigue. Electrolyte supplements are particularly useful for endurance athletes or individuals training in hot climates.

9. L-Glutamine

L-glutamine is a non-essential amino acid that becomes conditionally essential during intense physical stress, such as heavy training. It supports muscle recovery, reduces soreness, and promotes immune function. Athletes who engage in prolonged or intense workouts often supplement with L-glutamine to minimize muscle breakdown and accelerate recovery. Adding L-glutamine to post-workout routines helps support muscle repair and maintain performance over time.

10. Vitamin D

Vitamin D is often overlooked but plays a crucial role in bone health, immune function, and muscle strength. Active individuals, particularly those who train indoors or live in areas with limited sunlight, may have suboptimal vitamin D levels. Supplementing with vitamin D helps improve energy, supports bone density, and enhances overall performance. Ensuring adequate levels of vitamin D can also reduce the risk of injuries caused by weakened bones or muscles.

Selecting the right supplements can enhance your training outcomes, support recovery, and help you achieve your fitness goals faster. From protein powders and creatine to omega-3s and electrolytes, each supplement serves a specific purpose tailored to your needs. It's essential to identify your fitness goals, whether it's building muscle, boosting endurance, or improving recovery, and choose products that align with those objectives. Always consult with a healthcare professional before incorporating new supplements into your routine to ensure they are safe and effective for you.

Cow Milk Benefits for Skin: Why It’s More Than Just a Drink

Cow milk isn't just a nutritious drink for your body—it’s also a powerhouse for skincare. Packed with essential vitamins, minerals, and fats, cow milk can help keep your skin glowing, youthful, and hydrated. Let's explore why cow milk can become your new best friend for achieving healthy, radiant skin.

1. Exfoliates and Brightens the Skin

Cow milk contains lactic acid, a gentle exfoliant that helps remove dead skin cells, revealing smoother and brighter skin. This natural exfoliation process prevents clogged pores and promotes a clearer complexion. You can use cow milk as a facial cleanser or add it to your bath for a fresh, radiant glow.

2. Hydrates and Moisturizes

With its healthy fat content, cow milk acts as a natural moisturizer. The fats penetrate deep into your skin, providing lasting hydration, especially for dry or flaky areas. Regular use of cow milk helps maintain moisture balance, leaving your skin soft, smooth, and nourished.

3. Reduces Inflammation

Cow milk's anti-inflammatory compounds help soothe irritated skin, making it a great treatment for sunburn, rosacea, or acne. It calms redness and reduces swelling, smoothing out the skin for a healthier, more even appearance.

4. Fights Aging and Wrinkles

The casein protein in cow milk boosts collagen production in the skin. As we age, collagen production naturally decreases, leading to fine lines and wrinkles. By stimulating collagen, cow milk helps keep your skin firm, slowing down the appearance of aging and keeping your skin youthful.

5. Protects Against Sun Damage

Rich in vitamin D, cow milk helps protect the skin from UV damage. It aids in repairing sun-damaged skin and strengthens the skin's ability to defend against further sun exposure. The retinol in milk promotes healthy skin cell turnover, reducing sunspots and pigmentation.

6. Helps with Acne

Cow milk, especially raw milk, has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties that can help calm acne-prone skin. The lactic acid in milk cleanses pores, preventing dirt and oils from accumulating and causing breakouts. Regular use of milk can result in clearer, healthier skin.

How to Use Cow Milk on the Skin

There are several ways to incorporate cow milk into your skincare routine:

Milk Baths: Soak in a milk bath to soothe and hydrate your skin. It’s also a great remedy for sunburn and irritated skin.

Facial Cleanser: Splash chilled milk on your face, followed by cool water, for a refreshing, hydrating cleanse.

Facial Mask: Use yogurt (a fermented milk product) as a facial mask for deep nourishment and gentle exfoliation.

Treatment for Dark Spots: Apply raw milk to dark spots using a cotton swab to lighten them and reduce their prominence.

Caution

While cow milk offers many skin benefits, it may not be suitable for everyone. Some individuals may experience irritation or breakouts due to sensitivities or acne. Additionally, if used incorrectly, milk may clog pores or introduce bacteria. Always perform a patch test before applying it to your face.

Conclusion

Cow milk has been revered for centuries for its skin benefits, including exfoliating, moisturizing, reducing inflammation, and combating signs of aging. Whether used as a cleanser, mask, or soothing bath ingredient, cow milk can be a natural, effective addition to your skincare routine. However, be mindful of your skin's sensitivity, and discontinue use if irritation occurs. Give cow milk a try, and enjoy its many skincare benefits!

Surprising Health Benefits of Fresh Cow Milk

Fresh cow milk has been a staple in diets worldwide for centuries, celebrated for its rich taste and impressive nutritional profile. While you may already know that milk is packed with calcium for strong bones, the benefits of fresh cow milk extend far beyond what most people realize. Let’s explore some of the surprising ways fresh cow milk can boost your health!

Fresh Cow Milk in Chennai

1. Strengthens Bones and Teeth

One of the most well-known benefits of fresh cow milk is its high calcium content, which plays a crucial role in building and maintaining strong bones and teeth. Additionally, cow milk is rich in phosphorus and vitamin D, both of which are essential for bone health. Drinking fresh milk daily can help prevent conditions like osteoporosis and dental decay, keeping your bones and teeth strong well into old age.

2. Supports Muscle Growth and Recovery

Fresh cow milk is an excellent source of high-quality protein, which is essential for muscle repair and growth. Each glass of milk contains all nine essential amino acids, making it a complete protein source. This makes it ideal for athletes, fitness enthusiasts, and anyone looking to build or maintain lean muscle. Milk also contains branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), which help reduce muscle soreness after exercise and speed up recovery.

3. Boosts Immune Function

Fresh cow milk is rich in a variety of vitamins and minerals, particularly vitamins A and D, which are known to support immune function. Vitamin A helps maintain the health of mucous membranes in the respiratory and digestive tracts, which act as the body’s first line of defense against infections. Meanwhile, vitamin D helps regulate immune responses, making it easier for your body to fend off pathogens. Including fresh milk in your diet can give your immune system a natural boost.

Cow Milk in Chennai

4. Improves Heart Health

Fresh cow milk contains essential minerals like potassium and magnesium, which help regulate blood pressure and improve heart health. Potassium helps balance sodium levels in the body, reducing strain on blood vessels and promoting better circulation. The presence of healthy fats in whole milk can also be beneficial when consumed in moderation, as these fats can support a healthy balance of cholesterol, lowering the risk of heart disease.

5. Enhances Skin Health

You might have heard of Cleopatra’s legendary milk baths—turns out, there was some wisdom to it! Fresh cow milk contains vitamins B2 (riboflavin), B12, and antioxidants that help improve skin health from the inside out. These nutrients work together to hydrate the skin, reduce inflammation, and prevent signs of aging. The lactic acid in milk also acts as a gentle exfoliator, promoting a brighter, clearer complexion. Drinking fresh milk regularly can contribute to a healthy, glowing complexion.

6. Supports Digestive Health

Fresh cow milk contains beneficial enzymes and probiotics (especially in raw milk) that support gut health and aid digestion. The probiotics help maintain a healthy balance of gut bacteria, which is essential for good digestion, nutrient absorption, and a healthy immune system. Additionally, the lactose in milk provides an energy source for beneficial gut bacteria, supporting a healthier microbiome. If you’re lactose-sensitive, consuming small amounts of fresh milk or fermented dairy products like yogurt may help your body build tolerance over time.

Fresh Cow Milk in Chennai

7. Promotes Weight Management

While it might seem counterintuitive, fresh cow milk can actually support weight management. Milk is naturally filling due to its high protein and fat content, which can help you feel fuller for longer and reduce cravings for unhealthy snacks. Studies have shown that people who consume dairy as part of a balanced diet are more likely to maintain a healthy weight. Just be sure to choose the type of milk that best suits your health goals—whole milk for a fuller feel or low-fat milk for fewer calories.

Conclusion

Fresh cow milk is a nutrient powerhouse with a host of health benefits that go far beyond what you might expect. From supporting bone strength and muscle recovery to enhancing skin health and boosting immunity, a glass of fresh cow milk each day could be a simple and natural way to improve your overall well-being.

So, whether you drink it straight, add it to smoothies, or enjoy it with cereal, fresh cow milk is a versatile and wholesome addition to a balanced diet. Remember, though, to source your milk from trusted farms to ensure the highest quality and freshness.

Discover the benefits of fresh cow milk for yourself—and let each sip be a step toward a healthier you!
