It had been a few days after Sam went to hell. Dean had lost his brother and you had lost your best friend that day. It was hard on you both. You didn't talk about it.

You both had been pushing your feelings down, about the whole situation, too scared to open up. Since Sam had been gone you and Dean had been hunting nonstop. It had been an easier way to cope with everything. Just pretending that everything was fine when it wasn't.

You And Dean had just finished vamp hunt and he offered to get food for you both.

After the hunt It had been raining like cats and dogs, you had been stuck in the hotel room trying to get a signal on the tv. "Come on!" You scream hitting the sides of the tv, it had been going out since the storm started, you sigh and run you hand across your face, when you were met with black and white static.

"Piece of shit-" You mutter kicking the bottom of the tv stand. You huff and sit on the edge of one of the motel beds.

You and Dean had been laying low for the past couple of days. You didn't hear from Bobby nor cas. You flop back onto the bed with a groan.

That was until the motel door swung open causing you to look over.

"Still nothing?" Dean questions throwing a white fastfood bag onto the little table in the kitchen.

"Nope." You say still looking at the ceiling.

You hear shuffling for a second, then you see the green eyed hunter standing over you with something wrapped in tinfoil. "Eat." He says placing it next to you.

You quickly sit up and grab the burger. You watch as Dean sits on the bed opposite bed across from you, he begins to unwrap the burger he had gotten both of you.

You watch as he bites into it, but you also noticed his wet hair. You watch him take two bites before looking in your direction.

Dean stops chewing the food in his mouth, "What?" He questions when he catches you stare at him.

"Nothing." You say.

Dean mumbles an 'ok' and continues to eat.

For some guy who had lost his brother he seems to be doing just fine. You get up from the bed, and walk into the kitchen, pulling out the chair you pull back the motel curtain, you stare out the window and watch the rain fall.

You missed Sam, he was your besfriend - besides Dean you thought, you and Dean were never really close it upset you, he never really talked to you about anything besides Sam. When you entered the room he'd go quite.

You never understood why.

You had been staring out the window for too long to notice the green eyed hunter sitting across from you.

"You really should eat."

His voice rumbles through your body. "I'm good." You say looking from the window and to the man that had been sitting across from you for god knows how long.

Dean sighs and leans back in the chair.

"You okay Dean?" You Hum crossing your arms over your chest.

"As good as i can be." He huffs through his nose, "I could ask you the same thing, I know loosing your bestfriend is hard." He says.

You roll your eyes, "He's your brother Dean."

Dean leans forward on the table his arms resting against the table. He nods his head, "We'll get him back." Dean says taking a deep breath, "We always do." He gets up from the table tapping his knuckles against the wood.

You notice the bruises that sit upon his knuckles, they were purple. He had gotten them trying to fight of a vampire, to save you.

"Sorry about that." You swallow, your eyes still focused on the purple.

Dean follows your gaze.

"Its nothing, happens." He says walking over to the fridge, he opens it pulling out two beers. He holds one up, He knew you weren't very much of a drinker. You hated beer. But why the hell not, right?

You get up from your chair and make your way over to Dean where he was leaning against the counter. He flicks the bottle top off and plops it in the sink behind him.

You copy his motion, you step beside him and plop the top into the sink.

You bring the bottle up to your lips, the bitter liquid runs down your throat. pullinging the bottle away, you notice Dean's eyes on yours.

"What?" You hiccup.

"Nothing," He says bringing the glass bottle up to his lips.

You begin to fidgit with the bottle, you were still facing the sink, staring down at the two bottle tops in the sink. "Do you ever think about it?" You hum.

Dean turns his head in confusion, "Think about..? he questions, you noticed the confusion in his voice.

You take a deep breath, "Getting out, hunting. And living a normal life."

Dean stares down at his bottle, "All the time." Dean sighs.

He had called one of his lovers, Lisa hoping to rekindle something with her now that Sam was gone, she said yes. Dean was supposed to leave by morning.

But Dean didn't know if he wanted too, it would leave you alone and he knew that you were counting on him to be there.

You sigh.

You could see Dean shifing in his spot. What was he thinking about you wonder?

You place the beer bottle down on the counter, making your way over to the bed. The staic looking on the tv fills your ears.

"Do you think about it?" Dean asks putting his bottle next to yours. He strieds over to the bed and sits next to you.

Talking a shaky breath, you turn to face the green eyed man. "No." Dean watches you fiddle with your fingers, as he waits for you to contiue, "I never saw myself settling down, or getting out of this life, it's not for me. This is my life. There's no changing that."

Dean nods at your words.

You look up to find the man looking at you. His eyes searching your face, going back and forth between your eyes and lips.

It all happened to fast, Dean's lips on yours you his on his shirt, urging him to take it off.

This was wrong, you thought. You never felt this way about him. He was so mysterious, he never let you in on anything that happened to him, it was always Sam filling you in.

You both could barely be in a room together without one of you leaving because of the awkwardness.

But maybe it was Dean putting up a guard to try and protect you. He knew you didn't belong in this life, hunting and killing things. It just wasn't right for you.

You're different you aren't like him or Sam. And that's what Dean liked.

You were bought out of your thoughts when Dean nipped your ear causing you to squeal. "everything okay?" Dean questions looking up. You were straddling him.

His lips were pink and swollen from the kissing.

You quickly nod and grab his face, pressing your lips against his.

- - You had been woken up by a pounding on the door, you shoot up out of the bed, your eyes still trying to adjust from the light that was coming through the window.

You quickly pull the covers from your body, cold air hits your skin, you were naked. "Shit." You mumble, the pouding on the door didn't stop.

You looking over on the side of your bed where you were hoping to find Dean but he was gone. A bad feeling washed over you when you slide you t-shirt over your head.

You smelt him everywhere. In your skin in your hair. He was everywhere but no where all at once.

Putting the last leg into your jean's you fling open the door.

You were met with an old lady and a cleaning cart, "Room service!" She smiles, squeezing past you with her cart. You close the door behind you.

You quickly rush over to the bathrrom, maybe he'd just been in there, but you were met with a dark room. His duffle bag was gone. You swallow hard.

You walk back into the kitchen to find the beer bottles still sitting on the counter. Everything was gone, he was gone.

Tears form in your eyes. You grab your socks and shoes, and your coat that had been on the back of the chair in the kitchen chair.

You do a quick run through of the room to make sure you weren't missing anything.

Turing your head over your shoulder you had noticed the tv wasn't static anymore, an episode of 'Dr sexy' Was playing on the screen.

The cleaning lady had made her way over to the kitchen area, throwing away the bottles you and Dean had drank out of earlier.

You sigh and fish the hotel key out of your pocket before setting it down on the table.

You shut the door of the motel behind you, you fish out your phone and scroll through your contacts.

You click on the name before letting it ring a few times.

"Hey Bobby, care to give a girl a lift?"

I miss ur writings sm :(

I am so sorry that I've been gone for so long, I haven't posted any fan fiction in so many months and honestly I lost motivation 😭 so many ppl who were in this fandom and I created a community with, were slowly getting over this "phase" and it definitely affected me. But I'm going to try and get back into writing. I hope this will do good for now! Ive had a lot of ppl recently ask for 2005 bill hcs, and I've done that before so if this is repetitive for something else I've written, sorry!

content warnings: none

a/n: I'll be updating my tag list since it hasn't been updated since like August of last year and I don't want to be tagging people who don't care or want to see these posts anymore. So if you wanna be tagged, let me know!

2005!bill kaulitz x f!reader

sfw:

- I'm an alternative person so whenever I write for bill, I always imagine him with an alternative girl 😞 even though from what I've seen he's never really been w/ an alternative one, BUT LETS PRETEND OKAY 🙏🙏

• he absolutely loves doing hair together, I think he enjoys helping you do your hair in the morning and your make up. And he's even more greatful if you do his makeup. Then he can just relax while you help him.

• pookie has crunchy ass hair at the end of the day when he has to wash it out, don't make fun of him 😞

• getting piercings together is something he LOVES doing with you. Mainly early piercings because he only has a tongue and eyebrow piercing on his face.

• if you made music too, he would always go to your concerts and basically scream the entire time. Hopefully, you'd do the same for him.

• if you have longer nails, head scratches are always a must and he will lay in your lap for literal hours while you pamper him.

- I personally think he would love to learn words in your language if you keep something different than German. And despite what anybody thinks, he finds it hilarious to learn the dirty words.

• if you cook him something from your culture, he will literally die. He basically thinks everything about you is so cool, and learning about a culture different from his is so exciting

• but if you two really want to date, you'll have to both try to learn English or each other language because there is going to be a hard language barrier between you two.

- I think one of the reasons he would've fallen in love with you is because you were upfront with him. He's not the type of guy to just go up and kiss someone so if you confess first, that would make things so much easier.

- obviously, you'd have to get along with Tom, Georg and Gustav. So if you don't, there's no way he'll go out with you, especially if you can't get along or hate Tom.

-Dates together consist of stuff you guys bought somewhere, or if you guys went to a fastfood restaurant.

• He doesn't have a lot of money yet so dates wouldn't exactly be high class, hopefully you don't mind 😉

-Since this is around the time Tokio Hotel is getting increasingly famous, there are fangirls around trying to flirt and ask out bill all the time and he has to shoo them off. He reminds you every night about how much he loves you and that those fan girls shouldn't bother you.

-he likes to spoon you a lot, and you two switch back n forth between him being the big spoon and the small spoon.

• I think he also really likes it when you lay on top of him, with your face in his neck and your legs wrapped around him. (This also works sitting upwards).

• cuddling with him is so nice too because he actually smells really good 😱

- I think he still gets very insecure sometimes because of the haters and people who harass the band because they don't like them and you reassure him a lot.

a/n pt 2: sorry this wasn't too long! I'm trying to get back into the groove of writing so if this is terrible I'm sorry 😞

december highlights.

had our company year-end gala at the oriental hotel - legazpi, and we got the most outstanding team of the year award. that was really unexpected, ni isa samin walang malay na we even got nomitated, kasi sobrang chill lang naman ng account namin. siguro naging basehan na bagong client tapos ang bilis mag grow. partida may lagi pang nag aaway samin hahaha. kahit yung ibang kateam namin di rin makapaniwala, but itong award na 'to iki-claim ko para samin ni Zha at ni Jayson kasi kami naman talaga ang nag build nito, lahat ng kasama namin dito ngayon puro bago lang naman. so kudos to us.

also went to manila for an enjoyable christmas vacation sana, but nasa byahe palang ako non, sinalubong na agad ako ng problema sa bahay. kinailangan maoperahan ng kapatid ko sa appendix at dahil narin sa hernia niya. pag dating na pag dating ko, imbes na makapag pahinga ako, nag asikaso agad ako sa ospital at syempre gastos agad.

medyo sumama na naman loob ko sa tatay ko kasi syempre ako na naman yung kumilos, but inintindi ko nalang dahil senior na siya (62) malakas pa naman pero madali na siyang magreklamong pagod, but knowing him, tinatamad lang yun, ang sipag nga makipag date e. haha. wala akong choice kundi alalayan sila, inisip ko nalang baka kaya talaga ako umuwi dahil kailangan nila ako. medyo mabigat lang sa loob ko kasi panigurado kahit anong tulong naman gawin ko at effort sakanila, may masasabi parin.

pasalamat nalang din talaga at nacovered naman ng philhealth yung 75% ng bill niya. mga kinailangan nalang sa opera at gamot yung nagastos ko, siya na yung dumiskarte ng pambayad sa room niya dun. tingin ko naman din na-appreciate naman kahit papaano ng kapatid ko, kasi naalala niya ko batiin nung new year's eve.

dahil sa stress, napa check in tuloy kami ni J sa condo. hindi ko kasi kayang mag stay sa bahay sa ganung sitwasyon, ayaw ko rin kasi maobligang mag bantay sa ospital dahil ayaw ko nung lugar, dun din kasi namatay si mommy. kaya binilin ko nalang sa mga pinsan namin at mga barkada niya na magpalitan nalang sila sa ospital.

ang dami ko sanang plano sa pag uwi kong yun, yung maskipaps nalang talaga yung natuloy kasi may ticket. pero kung wala siguro yun, malamang bumalik ako agad ng bicol nun sa sobrang stress.

nag celebrate nalang kami ng christmas ni J nang tahimik. nag tampuhan pa nga kami. pero bago yun, tingin ko core memory namin pareho ni J yung bisperas ng pasko na nag lalakad kami sa panay ave para mag hanap ng bukas na store para maki poops haha. barado kasi yung toilet nung unit namin nun. tawa kami ng tawa kasi lahat sarado na alas otso palang ng gabi. buti nalang nag padala ng plunger yung host kaya naayos naman ni J. haha.

wala naman masyagong ganap kasi bukod sa na-stress lang ako sa bahay, sa condo lang kami nag stay ni J though kinita ko naman sila chi at ben, rachel at jasmine. dami ko pa sanang kikitain pero sabi ko bawi nalang ako ulit sa susunod na pasko.

umuwi din kami agad pagkatapos ng pasko. nakakatuwa lang din at naexperience narin namin ni J kumain sa mary grace haha. medyo nakaka luwag luwag na moment, sabi niya "atleast hindi na fastfood" haha.

dahil din kila chi, rachel at jasmine naka puno agad ako ng stickers at nakuha ko na yung tumbler na gusto ko. haha.

I'm about to go to my first shift at fastfood chain restaurant, after 3 months of break from work and I'm so stressed I feel awful, I hate adulting 🤡

So I'm sending a question cuz it somehow calms my mind (don't ask why, I have no idea)

Do you have a Dreamcatcher song that you connected with a particular, memorable moment in life?

For example Odd Eye was my first comeback with them and it happened when I had online classes due to lockdown. So there I was, (important) math lesson muted somewhere in the background, playing Odd Eye on full volume and almost crying out of excitement, spamming my best friend about how much I love the song

I wish you luck, friend. I've never worked in the food industry, but I can only imagine how rough it is. (I've only ever really worked in the background of retail jobs (AKA stocking shelves and such) so I never had to interact with customers all that much but in the rare cases that I did, it was pretty awful, lmao)

I'd say Maison. It was my first comeback with them and I went to the NYC concert with my best friend and it was my very first time going out of state by myself, my first time in NYC, first time on a train, first time in a hotel, and my very first concert experience. It was a lot of firsts for me, so it's pretty significant.

I'd also say BonVoyage. Just because I swear that song has healing capabilities because whenever I'm stressed at my job, I put that song on loop and leave it playing from my phone in my pocket just loud enough for myself to hear, and it helps immensely.

Odd Eye and Wind Blows helped me get through some stressful nights, though, when I used to work overnights, I will admit. Lmao.

I think I've connected Dreamcatcher songs to a lot of recent moments in my life just because since I found them, I've been hyper fixated, lmao. That's probably because their music is more of what I actually like.

Don't get me wrong, I love all the other groups I follow, but Dreamcatcher's music just hits that spot with all the guitars and the drums and all the other stuff, you know?

I should also probably absolutely mention Boca and the entirety of Dystopia: The Tree of Language because Boca was the first song I listened to by them and D:ToL was the first release I listened to fully and that whole night, I was texting my best friend about it, dragging them in with me, lmao.

#OneNETnewsInvestigates: Social Food Content Creator 'Nanna Cooks' accused of Recipe Theft and Infringement that replicates controversially as homemade fastfood item of McDonalds PH's Crispy Chicken Fillet ala King [EXCLUSIVE]

QUEZON, MANILA -- A social Filipino food content creator 'Ms. Jhoan Monroy', locally known as 'Nanna Cooks', is in hot water for allegedly stealing and leaking the recipe of "McDonald's Crispy Chicken Fillet with Ala King sauce" in late-November 2024, following the video released on December 2nd, that said year. The video, which has since gained nearly 9 million views on Facebook (part of Meta Platforms Inc. [MPi]), showed a homemade version of the popular fast food menu item.

The 'Chicken Fillet ala King' has been one of the items on McDonalds Philippines' menu since it was first debuted in the early mid-September 2015. The meal consists of a Crispy Chicken Fillet, covered with a rich, buttery sauce that is laced with bits of carrot and chives, served over rice on the plate.

'Chicken à la King' is a well-known dish and dates back to either the late-19th or early 20th century. While there are multiple origin stories, one popular account attributes its creation to chef 'George Greenwald' of the Brighton Beach Hotel in New York state, who prepared the dish for the hotel's owners, both were presented by Mr. and Mrs. 'E. Clark King II'. This classic dish, predating its introduction and later adopted by the said fast food restaurant to expanding its reach to our home country, the Philippines.

Hailing from Quezon City in 'Metro Manila, National Capital Region', Nanna Cooks has gained a huge following on Facebook where she posts cooking tutorials for the online viewers in the Luzon area. Her fan page boasts of more than 1 million followers. She has made her career as a social food content creator in engaging and entertaining her audience to the Filipinos.

'Nanna Cooks' has gained millions of followers posting simple and affordable recipes that suites your budget, most of which are restaurant remakes to cook at home. Her latest video, however, has created a lot of controversy over the legal and ethical appropriateness of proprietary recipes.

She can be charged under the Revised Penal Code (RPC) since she quietly revealed a trade secret, that is, the recipe without the authority to do so. The fast food chain can questioned her on why she illegally prepared her own version of their Crispy Chicken Fillet ala King. McDonald's Philippines has yet to issue a statement regarding the uploaded social media video in the unlawful matter.

Penalties for such severity of offenses can include fines and imprisonment in Philippine national laws, which could be imposed at the 'Manila Regional Trial Court' (MRTC) if she is found guilty. Unlawfully trade secrets obtained by 'Nanna Cooks' for McDonalds Philippines highlighting the need for more stringent regulations and enforcement of policies to protect proprietary recipes and intellectual property.

This case has inadvertently sparked a much broader conversation on social media regarding intellectual property rights in the food world as specifically related to creating and sharing restaurant recipes among home cooks and food influencers. The verdict may ultimately be landmark for content creators and the food industry at large.

大家好! Hummus is a Middle Eastern dish that I tried before the covid pandemic. It was yummy but remained an afterthought before Israel's genocide in Gaza began. As I learnt more about Palestinians' and Lebanese's struggle for their sovereignty, 1 way to show support for them is to embrace their food because food bonds all of us. For my second breakfast after exercise, I cut up some celery, added 2 ajitsuke tamago for protein and nutrients and included a potato bun for carbohydrates, along with hummus as a dip and spread. Hummus is ridiculously delicious with the pillowy bun. This meal kept me so full that I skipped lunch and only felt a little hungry at dinnertime.

Grandma's birthday falls in December. Auntie, Pa and I remembered her over a sumptuous lunch at a Hokkien restaurant Grandpa used to bring us to when he was with us. Over hearty fish maw soup (super rich in collagen), crispy hae cho (prawn rolls), spring rolls, ngor hiang (pork rolls), as well as steamed pomfret and braised Hokkien mee, we kept their memories alive. Their steamed pomfret was as fresh as when Mummy and I visited in November to remember Grandpa during his birthday month. The fish maw soup was also ridiculously good. It was a feast to remember; I look forward to returning next year!

ML, MI and I returned to the stall which serves excellent ban mian (board noodles). I chose you mian (thin board noodles) with fish. After a few months of not eating this, I was reacquainted with what made me love it. Generous portions of fresh, tender fish, sweet and crunchy Napa cabbage as well as QQ slurpable noodles for $5.50? Yes please! The last time I stepped into a fastfood restaurant was 4 July 2023; it's been over 17 months now. Even with their $5 deals, I'm not tempted to return because I can get nutritious, moderately healthy meals that are lower in saturated fat that cost just a little more than fastfood promos. This was so delicious!

For Christmas lunch, the whole company was treated to a hotel buffet. They chartered a bus to ferry us to the venue and back. I seized the opportunity to load up on my favourite foods - seafood and vegetables! The pork rib soup with black beans and peanuts was especially good; most of us had at least 1 bowl of it. For dessert, I was delighted to see they served green apples and grabbed 1. Since I don't have a sweet tooth, fruit that isn't too sweet is extremely welcome. All that fibre kept me full till past dinner time. I had a light evening meal comprising a potato bun with coriander hummus, carrot sticks and tau kwa (firm tofu) to avoid bloating.

This Christmas period has been a strange one. For the first time since I moved into my home, none of my neighbours are playing Christmas carols and no festive lights adorn their condo units. Perhaps, like me, they're not in the mood to celebrate the occasion together with people who support the genocide in Gaza. It's X'mas eve today; the office has granted everyone the afternoon off. I'll spend it running errands and having an early night. There's nothing festive about Christmas when so many Palestinians are still dying, there's nothing to celebrate. 下次见!

[intrin-seca]

- JIMIN! -

Num susto, Jimin abriu os olhos e encarou o teto branco de seu quarto, mas não levou nem um milésimo de segundo para virar-se para o irmão, lançando-lhe um olhar raivoso.

- Já acordei. - O mais novo gritou antes de levantar o tronco e sentar-se em sua cama. - Feliz?

- Sim. - Hoseok disse torcendo o nariz. - Você estava sonhando com ele.

Jimin ergueu uma sobrancelha em dúvida. - Como você sabe?

- Você não parava de chama-lo.

Jimin sentiu as bochechas corarem violentamente. Hoseok era seu irmão de consideração, a pessoa em que mais confiava no mundo e que o conhecia como ninguém, mas era desconfortável saber que não conseguia esconder dele nem mesmo o conteúdo de seus sonhos.

- Isso é ridículo! - O mais velho disse enquanto apoiava seu peso na porta do quarto de Jimin. - Fazem quatro anos. Você já deveria ter esquecido ele.

Jimin jogou as cobertas para longe e colocou os pés para fora da cama, sentindo o piso gelado contra a pele quente de seus pés.

- Vou me arrumar. - Disse com simplicidade.

O relógio de cabeceira marcava 7h da manhã e isso significava que ele tinha um tempo confortável para se trocar e tomar um café da manhã antes de pegar o metrô até seu trabalho no hotel. Mas ele até sairia mais cedo de casa se fosse isso o necessário para evitar aquela conversa com Hoseok.

- Já está na hora de você seguir em frente. - O irmão continuou, acompanhando-o até a porta do banheiro e recostando-se contra o batente. - Você deveria sair com alguns amigos e talvez conhecer algum cara bacana.

- Não tenho cabeça para isso agora, Hobi. - Ele justificou-se, rezando para que fosse o suficiente, mas ele conhecia o irmão bem até demais. - Tenho dois empregos e muitas parcelas do empréstimo para pagar.

- Isso não passa de uma desculpa. Mesmo quando mal trabalhava meio turno naquele restaurante você saia com algum cara.

Jimin analisou seu reflexo no pequeno espelho de seu banheiro. Ultimamente ele havia percebido que sutis marcas de expressão começaram a surgir logo abaixo de seus olhos, lembrando-o constantemente que já estava se aproximando dos 29 anos. Além disso, a raiz castanha do cabelo já estavam comprida demais, destacando mais ainda o ressecado do descolorido que não cuidava a meses. Houve um tempo em que seus cabelos eram tão lindos e sedosos, mas agora estavam opacos e ressecados, provavelmente culpa da sua atual dieta composta por fastfoods e comida congelada.

- Eu também não vejo ninguém ao seu lado. - Jimin disse enquanto alcançava a escova de dentes e lambuzava um pouco de pasta.

- Posso estar solteiro, mas ao menos estou vivendo, diferente de você.

Jimin levou a mão direita até o peito e encarou o irmão. - Aparentemente meu coração esta batendo. Isso significa que estou vivo. É o suficiente...

- Não é não. - Hoseok disse se afastando e andando de um lado para o outro dentro do pequeno quarto do irmão. Eles alugavam um minúsculo apartamento num bom bairro que ficava a poucos minutos a pé do trabalho de Hobi e menos de trinta minutos de metrô do trabalho de Jimin. Se ignorasse os problemas de infiltração constante, os problemas com as baratas e os vizinhos barulhentos, podiam até mesmo dizer que vivam como reis em um apartamento no centro de Seoul. - Você não é feliz.

Jimin se conteve a revirar os olhos. Até porque o irmão não estava de todo errado. Ele realmente não era feliz.

Faziam anos que ele não sabia o que era felicidade, que não ia dormir sorrindo ou que ria até quase chorar. Anos desde a ultima vez que fez algo por prazer, ou que se permitiu apenas aproveitar o momento.

Sua mente girava ao redor de suas enormes dividas. As correspondências se somavam em sua gaveta do criado mudo e era impossível não pensar nelas. As despesas mensais de aluguel, luz e agua, o empréstimo que fez para pagar a faculdade a qual não exercia a profissão, e o seu maior pesadelo, o empréstimo que fez com o hospital para pagar o tratamento de sua mãe. A divida que provavelmente pagaria até o resto de seus dias, isso se não fosse preso por não conseguir pagar antes. O tratamento que mesmo ineficaz, lhe custara 10 milhões de wons, e que em cinco anos, ele conseguira pagar menos que 500 mil.

- Eu sou feliz. - Ele mentiu para o irmão. - Tenho saúde e tenho você. Não preciso de mais nada.

- Não sou tolo, Jimin. - Hoseok disse encarando o irmão pelo espelho enferrujado. - Eu odeio saber que a única vez que você foi feliz depois que a mamãe morreu foi com ele.

- Hobi...

- Ele é tão mesquinho! Entrou na sua vida no seu momento mais frágil e deixou que você construísse todo um castelo em volta dele, s�� para poder derrubar tudo e ir embora. - Hobi gritava com a fúria queimando em seus olhos. - Ele entrou em nossa casa, dividiu a nossa mesa, bebeu com nossa família e depois foi embora sem nenhum aviso, nenhuma explicação.

- Eu sei disso, Hoseok! - Jimin gritou, tentando manter-se firme. Ele odiava lembra-se dele. Seu pobre coração frágil odiava pensar nos dias em que pulsava firmemente quando o tinha ao lado. As vezes acreditava estar ficando louco, pois sua mente parecia constantemente relembra-lo de como era estar em seus braços. Mesmo depois de quatro anos, ele conseguia lembrar o gosto de seus lábios e o toque de seus dedos calejados. Da forma como ele sentia o simples som de sua voz em cada célula nervosa de seu corpo. Jimin fora viciado naquele homem e parecia lutar contra essa crise de abstinência sem fim.

- Me desculpe. - Hobi pediu, soltando um longo suspiro. - Eu apenas o odeio. O odeio tanto que se eu o visse agora eu o esmagaria com as minhas próprias mãos.

Jimin sorriu minimamente. - Agradeço toda a sua preocupação, mas acho que seria meio difícil.

- Ah, não seria não. - O irmão disse sorrindo diabolicamente para ele. - Eu posso não ser tão alto e musculoso, mas se mexeu com a minha família, pode ter certeza que eu viro um monstro.

- Tudo bem, então. - Jimin deu os ombros e voltou para seu quarto. - Agora deixe eu me arrumar. Não sou sortudo e posso ir a pé para o trabalho.

- Um dia você chega lá, maninho.

Hoseok virou as costas e fechou a porta atrás de si, enquanto deixava o irmão mais novo sozinho.

Jimin sentou-se em sua cama e abriu a gaveta do seu criado mudo. Abaixo de sua pasta com papeis dos empréstimos tinha uma única foto. A única foto. Aquele pequeno papel fotográfico amassado e com pequenas manchas de lágrimas derramadas era a única lembrança física que mantinha dele. A única coisa que ele havia deixado antes de desaparecer.

Uma foto tirada por Hobi antes dos dois saírem para um fim de semana viajando. Taehyung estava em sua moto, vestindo sua habitual jaqueta de couro e tinha o cabelo penteado para trás enquanto olhava para longe. Já Jimin estava sentado em sua garupa, focado nele. E o olhava como se ele fosse o seu mundo, o que realmente era.

Parecia estranho pensar que aquele homem tinha sido o grande amor da vida de Jimin, mesmo que seu tempo juntos tenha sido relativamente pequeno. E sentia-se mais bobo ainda quando pensava no quão pouco sabia sobre a vida dele.

Haviam se conhecido em um bar, onde Jimin trabalhava como barmen. O homem misterioso, vestido de preto da cabeça aos pés, sentou-se um dia no canto mais distante do bar e ficou uma noite inteira em silêncio, bebendo um único copo de whisky.

Ele irradiava uma aura estranha e perigosa, mas atraia Jimin como um ímã super potente. Seus olhos não se desgrudaram por um segundo naquela primeira noite, mas não trocaram uma única palavra.

Na noite seguinte, o homem estava lá novamente. Mesmo horário. Mesma roupa. Mesmo único copo de whisky. Mesmos olhares intensos sem nenhuma conversa.

No terceiro dia, Jimin não parava de encarar a porta de entrada do bar, esperando que o homem aparecesse, mas ele não veio. Como de costume ele encerrou o trabalho, fechou o caixa e trancou o bar perto das 2h da manhã, mas quando deu o primeiro passo para a rua naquela madrugada quente, viu uma moto parada do outro lado da calçada.

Ele não precisou estreitar os olhos para saber quem era, pois os pelos de sua nuca se eriçaram da mesma maneira que havia acontecido nos dois dias anteriores. Ele não vestia a jaqueta de couro, mas sim uma camiseta preta sem estampa. Segurava um capacete enquanto o outro estava engatado no espelho da moto. Jimin não tinha a mínima ideia do nome daquele homem, mas tudo que ele queria era sentar em sua garupa e segui-lo onde ele fosse. Era como se soubesse que aquilo era inevitável. O destino tinha o achado.

- Boa noite? - Jimin se aproximou, colocando as mãos nos bolsos das calças nervosamente. - Já fechamos hoje.

- É uma pena. Eu precisava de um copo de whisky. - Sua voz era grave e sexy. Tinha um timbre bonito e mesmo a uma bela distância dava para ouvir claramente. Ele era firme e não parecia com um pingo de nervosismo. Já Jimin não podia dizer o mesmo.

- Você pode voltar amanhã. Ficarei feliz em servi-lo um copo de Yamazaki. - Era o whisky mais caro que Jimin tinha no bar e das outras duas vezes aquele homem havia pedido as doses que custavam 20 mil wons.

- Tome uma dose comigo agora. - Ele pediu, mas não parecia um pedido. Era uma ordem quase desesperada, que o fez sentir uma sensação estranha. Ele estava suando e não era por causa do clima.

- Não o conheço. Não sei o que faz e nem seu nome. - Ele usava os honoríficos, mas mais por costume do que por achar que necessitava. Não tinha ideia se aquele homem era mais velho que ele ou não.

- Precisa de todas essas informações para tomar um drink? - Uma sobrancelha se arqueou e um sorriso ladino surgiu nos lábios bonitos. - Tudo bem. Sou Taehyung. - O estranho esticou a mão na direção de Jimin e manteve-a levantada até que o mesmo se aproximasse suficiente e a segurasse.

- Jimin.

A mão grande e esbelta do outro homem estava quente sobre os dedos de Jimin. Ele era todo fogo, queimando a pele em contato. Rapidamente ele se afastou e passou suas mãos em seus jeans nervoso. O olhar de Taehyung era intimidador demais para olhar por muito tempo, então ele olhou ao redor, focando a atenção na grande moto que servia de encosto. Ela era bonita, estilosa e parecia bem cara. Muito mais cara do que qualquer outro veículo que Jimin já tivesse dirigido na vida.

- E então? - Taehyung perguntou fazendo a atenção de Jimin voltar para seus olhos castanhos. - Você vem?

Uma lágrima solitária caiu em cima da foto, molhando o papel fotográfico pelo que seria talvez a milésima vez. Jimin secou rapidamente para evitar uma mancha maior e colocou de volta na sua gaveta, escondendo-o do irmão aquele último fragmento de recordação.

Lembrar-se de Taehyung era como abrir uma caixa de Pandora dentro do seu coração. Todos os sentimentos, tanto felizes como angustiantes eram liberados e ele não tinha mais energia para lidar contra aquilo. Era doloroso como uma ferida que nunca cicatrizava.

Ele não esperava mais que Taehyung voltasse. Havia passado do tempo em que implorava para qualquer santo ou Deus que o trouxesse de volta. Sabia que já havia sido abandonado e temia até que já tivesse sido esquecido. Certa parte de seu coração quebrava-se sempre que pensava nessa situação. Por mais doloroso que fosse, preferiria que Taehyung já nem estivesse mais vivo do que tivesse esquecido dele, até porque a única maneira de Jimin esquecer daquele homem seria morto.

12월 30일 2022년

Last December 25, my mother and I went to Baguio for a three day stay. We rode the bus going to Baguio and booked our tickets online. We rode the Genesis Premium bus which had an ample space of leg room, a lazy boy type chair, and a restroom onboard. We left around 12nn but we’re supposed to leave manila at 11am. There were a lot of stop overs in Manila- first at their Pasay bus terminal then to Cubao to load passengers. That’s why we left at 12nn. It was a short ride, around 4 hours. We arrived at the bus terminal in Baguio around 4:30pm.

We had a hard time getting on a taxi because it was a sunday and session road is closed to vehicles. So my mom and i walked to our hotel. It was a 30 minute walk but it felt like we were walking for an hour. I was out of breathe, occasionally removing my face mask to gasp for more air. The hotel we booked is in a residential area. We were so exhausted from walking that we took a rest for two hours before going out to get dinner.

We had dinner at 456 restaurant. My mom said it’s one of the oldest restos in the area and she and dad used to eat here back when my dad was building fastfood restos. We ordered fried vegetable noodles and mami. I didn’t get to finish the mami because I was already full but the food was delicious. The restaurant wasn’t that clean though and by dinner time, there were already a lot of tourists waiting for an empty seat.

After dinner, me and my mom went to SM Baguio to look for clothes she’ll use for the wedding. We basically went to baguio to attend a wedding but I told her I won’t attend because I do not know anyone except for a long time family friend whom I haven’t seen since I was 4. I helped her pick a green suit and black dress from H&M. After that, we ordered coffee and pastries at James Wright Cafe. I also bought a sourdough bread as a take out. We were able to get a taxi at SM Baguio to our hotel.

Since we only booked for one night in our hotel, we had to look for another available room but much nearer to Burnham Park and Session Road. We were able to book one at The Golden Pine Hotel.

Day 2

My mom and I woke up early to get a return bus tickets at Victory Liner. We had an early check-out and headed to Golden Pine Hotel to leave our bags then went to Victory Liner terminal to book tickets. We were able to get a premium seat.

We had lunch at Vizco’s Restaurant. We ordered chicken ceasar salad, beef caldereta, and pesto pasta. We also ordered a slice of strawberry cake.

After lunch, we headed to Golden Pine Hotel to check-in. We headed to our room (it’s a themed room so I didn’t get to take photos haha) and took a quick rest. My mom then headed to the wedding but waited for an hour to get a taxi. It was already late so she wasn’t able to attend and instead went to the reception. I was left alone and went out around 4:30pm to walk around Burnham Park. There were a lot of tourists so it was hard to get a quiet seat. I also walked around session road and check out the church. The side entrance of the church was so steep and high, I was breathless when I got to the top. After praying, I looked around the small bazaar beside it. I was able to buy a kamagong scratcher for dad haha. By 7pm I was exhausted and hungry so I headed back to the hotel since the night market opens at 8pm. I figured I’d eat my dinner there because there were food stalls.

By 8:30pm, I went out to check out the night market. Good thing the hotel is near so the walk took around 5minutes. I was so cautious because the night market was packed with people. Like people would push you so you have no choice but to follow the crowd. I was also disappointed because I wasn’t able to try the food because I hate waiting on line. There were a lot of food stalls but I only tried one- another fried noodles. I wasn’t able to put sauce on it so it was bland lol.

I was able to buy a few stuff for my brothers- a tshirt for ja, four boxer briefs for jan (that only costs 200php!) and a bucket hat for dad. I got to the hotel around 11pm. I was so hungry I couldn’t bring myself to get up and buy food. By 11:30 my mom arrived from the wedding. I went out to get some dinner and was able to find one across the street. I bought liempo.

I slept around 2am.

Day 3

I had breakfast at the hotel. It was complimentary. Though I got disappointed when I got my english breakfast- I thought the sausages were big.

We checked out from the hotel around 11am since we leave at 3pm. Good thing we checked out early because we had a hard time getting a taxi. For two hours. We were waiting for two hours to hail a taxi. By 1:30pm I was able to hail a taxi to take us to Victory Liner terminal. We got there around 2:20pm because of the traffic. Everyone’s going in and out of Baguio so the traffic was insane.

While waiting to board the bus, my mom went to SM Baguio to buy water and snacks. She ended up buying breads too. By 3pm, we boarded the bus. We were supposed to be seating in different seats but we were able to seat together in front of the bus driver.

The traffic going back to Manila was insane, too. Expressway was jam-packed. Good thing the bus took the skyway so we arrived in the pasay terminal around 8:30pm. We had to wait for another 30 minutes because my brother and dad parked at MOA seaside. They thought we’d arrived later.

We had dinner at Chowking. We got home around 11pm. Man, that was tiring.

Ngày thứ nhất tại Đức

Hôm nay là lần đầu tiên mình bay đi châu Âu, cũng là ngày đầu tiên đến Đức. Tụi mình đi theo chương trình Edelweiss Tour Bike với vài chục người đồng hương (Việt Nam) nữa.

Về chuyến bay: mình tự đặt chuyến bay HAN - MUC (Hà Nội - Munich), giá vé là $2800 cho hai người, hãng hàng không Qatar. Các anh chị khác đa số đi theo đoàn từ SG, hãng hàng không Emirates, nên đến sau chúng mình khoảng nửa ngày và chi phí cũng cao hơn một chút.

Về khách sạn: tất cả các khách sạn đều là công ty tour đặt cho đoàn. Khách sạn lần này là Henry Hotel tại Erding, phong cách rất đồng quê và cổ điển. Phòng nào cũng chill và tưởng là nhỏ, nhưng có những phòng họp rất rộng và cả tầng hầm để xe thoải mái. Bên hông ban công là một khu vườn nhỏ với chim hót véo von. Vì đến sớm (khoảng 8h30 sáng) nên chúng mình cất đồ, đi dạo. Đi siêu thị, đi mua camera (vì bị lost trong chuyến in transit), rôi đi tới khu downtown của thị trấn.

Cảm nhận ban đầu của mình về Munich, Erding như sau:

Khu downtown có vẻ là đông đúc nhất thì cũng hơi nhỏ, đi bộ một vòng là hết. Tại đây, đa số quán xá là cafe bánh ngọt, một số ít có thêm kem, đồ ăn truyền thống châu Á, một số cửa hàng shopping bày mẫu manocanh rất bắt mắt, hầu như quán nào cũng vắng vẻ.

Khu uptown nhiều cây nhưng không có người. Lác đác xa xăm có một cửa hàng tiện ích cũng không có khách. Mình đi tới 4-5 cửa hàng tiện ích (như tạp hóa hoặc siêu thị mini) thì trong đó đa số là hóa mỹ phẩm, hầu như tất cả đồ ăn đều đóng gói chế biến sẵn hoặc sơ chế như thực phẩm làm từ lúa mì, bánh kẹo, hiếm khi thấy có rau xanh, ở siêu thị mới có hoa quả.

Trạm (cửa hàng) bán xăng dầu rất nhiều

Đồ ăn phần lớn bán ở cửa hàng là fastfood nên chúng mình có thử mua cà phê, uống cũng không ngon, hơi loãng và đắng, thua xa kiểu robusta của Việt Nam. Hôm nay đi siêu thị mình mua táo, đào, chuối ăn ngon. Socola 99% nguyên chất nên đắng và hơi chua nhẹ. Mỳ tôm thì rất dở, một nửa giống Cung Đình nhưng nước sốt giống nước sốt chua ngọt sệt sệt. Kết luận nhẹ, ẩm thực Việt Nam thực sự là chân ái.

Đồ ăn ở hotel khá ổn và đầy đặn, dễ ăn hơn mấy món đi lượm từ siêu thị về. Buôn dưa lê với mấy bác dẫn guide đoàn Việt Nam rất vui, các bác đa số là người Đức, nói tiếng Đức rất giỏi và đã lớn tuổi rồi (60-70 tuổi). Các bác cũng kể là đoàn biker Việt Nam tính tuổi trung bình thì trẻ hơn rất nhiều so với các đoàn khác trên thế giới.

Đường phố sạch tới nỗi càng đi bộ thì giày của chúng mình càng sạch, thời tiết khá đẹp, lúc nắng lúc mưa. Khi nắng buổi chiều thì không khí rất giống mùa thu Việt Nam, nhưng khi không có nắng thì lại se lạnh như mùa đông.

Một số kỷ niệm khác:

Sân bay transit tại Doha thực sự rất rộng lớn và người ta còn trồng cây trong nhà. Cửa được đánh số thành nhiều khu A, B, C,... Chúng mình đi từ cửa số C1 tới cửa của mình số C58 là hết 15 phút đi bộ (có hỗ trợ của line nhanh). Đi mới biết được mở mang tầm mắt.

Anh Cẩm lỡ quên camera tại khu chờ nối chuyến, khi nhớ ra thì đã lên máy bay mất rồi. Sau đó may mắn tới khách sạn được hai bạn đoàn khác hướng dẫn đi bộ tới Media Markt gần đó để mua, tuy không hịn bằng nhưng cũng có cái dùng.

Ngày mai chúng mình sẽ lên xe đi trải nghiệm ngày đầu tiên, hẹn tiếp tục cập nhật với cả nhà nhen.
