I will never forget when this guy and my MC made Pozole and then fucked til kingdom come. It’s like whoever wrote that scene knew me on a molecular level.
Nightbound
Nik Ryder ⭐⭐⭐ + 🌩️🌩️🌩️🌩️

Ultimate MVP, y’all. Unmatched, undefeated. My MC laughed, cried, and c***.
That fucking scene where they met and he started calling her Rookie and then LATER LAUGHED AND CALLED HER BROKE. Then she called him an asshole which he totally heard. That was the genesis. They were both like “I have never been more offended by something so true” or whatever the meme says. (This is not considering Bree’s version where I have them meet minutes before, where he almost runs her over. Run me over too sir)
ALL THE WAY TO THE LAST SCENE WHERE HE SAYS HE’S NEVER BEEN HAPPIER, HE’S PROUD OF MY MC, AND HE LOVES HER
There is so much in the “in between” but I have been screaming about it on this blog for almost 3 years. You guys get the idea.
Also, king of giving head. King of my heart.

Heeello, I love the style of your writing I will buy your book if one day you write one lol. Can I ask for a reaction of BTS as jealous boyfriends? It can be fluff and a little smut or how you like it ♡
Oh my gosh ahhhhhhhh thanks!! Lol, I used to want to be an author more than anything (lil fun fact ) And YES ! ! ! ! I hope you enjoy it!!
Jin: You two stood in line at a cafe, holding hands and smiling, whispering back and forth with giggles mixed in. Just as he leaned in to kiss you, a familiar voice called out.
“Y/n?” The deep voice laughed incredulously and both you and Jin look up to see your ex standing there with open arms and a big smile. Things ended on good terms between you two, but you still hadn’t seen him in the last two years since you broke up.
“H/n!!” You smile and walk out going to hug him. Jin’s lips purse into a tight line. He keeps a pleasant but bored expression on his face, and puts his hands in his pockets, bunching and unbunching his hands into fists.
The two of you chat and share laughs as you catch up on your lives and joke about old memories. Jin knows you obviously weren’t gonna get flirty with this guy, but he didn’t know the guy’s intentions. He can’t help but watch how your ex keeps touching your forearm and leaning in, his hands “accidentally” bumping yours. At one point, he even leans in to whisper something in your ear. There’s a line, and Jin snaps when this guy’s lip brushes your ear as he whispers.
“Hey! Y/n! Our turn to order. Hi, Kim Seokjin, Y/n’s boyfriend for the last year and a half, nice to meet ya!” Jin smiles but his eyes send a warning as he wraps his arm around your shoulders pulling you against his side.
“Jin we aren’t even ordering yet-” You start, glancing back at the embarrassed figure of your ex retreating.
“Y/n, he was so into you, and I can’t help but get jealous when other boys want my girl! So stay by my side, and we’ll have our own little chat when we get home, k?” He says pleasantly, but his eyes promise something else and you feel a slight blush creep up your cheeks at the thought, and he squeezes your shoulders gently, holding you against him.
RM: You were out at an awards show with Namjoon when Jackson from GOT7 comes over to talk to you. You guys happily chat, and you’re excited to see your friend. Namjoon watches from a distance, noting how Jackson’s eyes roam your figure as you wear your breathtaking evening gown. Jackson leans in to hug you, and as he pulls away, he keeps one hand on your lower back, as if temporarily claiming you. Namjoon can be shy, and is mature, but at this he feels his jealousy harden his heart as he swiftly walks over, sliding his arm around your waist pulling you against his side.
“Jackson! So good to see you!” Namjoon’s hand tightens around your waist and Jackson’s eyes harden at the small gesture.
“So good to see you too! I better get back to the boys. Bye Y/n,” He casts you a smile and kisses your hand before walking off. Namjoon growls and tilts your head up, his lips brushing your ear as he whispers: “Bad move baby girl, bad move. Daddy’s gonna have to show you how to behave tonight, and punish you for letting other boys touch you and look at you like that. Got it?” His fingers tighten where they lay on your waist, and he pulls away, his eyes dark. You nod breathlessly, heart pounding.
“Good girl. Lets go back to the boys,” He leans down to press a light kiss to your neck, and nips at the tender skin making you gasp and blush as he walks you back.
J-Hope: The two of you are at his dance studio, him dancing and you waiting and watching. He prides himself on how he captivates you with his moves, your eyes wide with awe and never leaving his form. It makes you look so innocent, and shows to both him, and everybody else how much you admire and love him. As he dances, he occasionally casts you a smile, getting a warm bubbly sense of joy to see you staring, but the next time he looks over you aren’t looking at him, you’re talking to one of the backup dancers. He can’t help but feel hurt at the sight.
“Hey, Jagi, wanna dance?” He’d come up shyly and smile, when you say yes he’d send the backup dancer a smug look as he pulls you off.
“You know I love you more than anything right?” He’d smile at you.“Of course I know Hobi, you know I love you more than anything?” You’d smile and kiss his cheek, making his smile widen.
“Of course I know.” He smiles and pulls you in, nuzzling your neck.
“I guess I’ll have to show you how much I know when we get home anyway,” He smirks against your neck and trails kisses upwards to your lips, squeezing your hips and making you blush.
“Hobi,” You giggle and push him off before he grins and gets the dancers in order.
Suga: You two had been out with the boys, and you’d been messing with Taehyung and Jungkook all night since you were closest to them, aside from Yoongi of course. He’d been casting glares at you all night as you three giggled and pushed and shoved. He’d looked most annoyed when Taehyung wrapped his arms around your waist and pulled you against him to tickle you. You all finally got back to the dorm, and Jungkook grabbed your hand and pulled you to the couch and into his side. Yoongi rolled his eyes and grabbed you, pulling you up next to him.“She’s my girlfriend, yeah?” He glares at Jungkook who raises his arms innocently. Yoongi pulls you upstairs roughly, and slams his bedroom door behind him, shoving you against it. He growls in your ear and presses himself against you, his crotch roughly grinding onto your sensitive area. “I didn’t like those games you were playing today Y/n,” You whimper in response and he slides his hand down, rubbing over your clothed core aggressively, sending waves of pleasure through your body, sending your mind into a haze.
“What did you say? Hm? You’ll have to speak up,” He growls, unzipping your pants and pulling you out of them quickly, his hand sliding under your panties and into your core. You yelp in surprise and he smirks, holding you tight to the door with one arm while fingering you quickly with the other. You whimper and moan, gasping and gripping the edges of the door for support, and squeeze your eyes shut. “That’s it baby, let them hear how good you feel..”
Jimin: You two had been out to eat, and you’d ran into your ex. He knew you were over him, and it’d been like two years since you’d been together, but he knew that look in his eyes. He was looking you up and down, grabbing at your hands, leaning in close, pulling all the moves. Jimin wanted to give you space because he knew you’d be that courteous to him if he were in that position. But when your ex says the telltale line, “Yeah, we definitely need to go out sometime!” He steps in. He smiles and kisses your cheek, “Darling, the paparazzi are here, we should go. Hi, Park Jimin, Y/n’s longtime boyfriend. And you are?” He smiles, but his eyes are dark and bitter. Your ex smiles and struggles for words before introducing himself.
“Well isn’t that nice, wonderful to meet you. Y/n? Lets go.” He smiles pulling you outside where no paparazzi are waiting.
“Jiminie were you jealous?” You laugh and he smiles and rolls his eyes pulling you into his chest and kissing your head.
“How could I not be jealous when my baby is so beautiful and everybody wants her? I gotta step in sometimes jagi. Sorry we didn't finish dinner, but we can always have dessert at home.” He licks his lips and grins making you laugh and he pulls you off down the sidewalk heading back home.
V: You two had been out, and a number of your guy friends had run into you. Guy after guy after guy you saw one after another. Tae was goodnatured at first, happy to meet your friends, but after number 5 he was done. Why do so many guys know you and feel the need to talk to you? How close are you to them? Where do they come from? He started being more possessive as more said hello, keeping a hand on you or around you at all times. He wasn’t worried you’d leave him, or replace him, but he still felt a little insecure for your attention.
The real kicker was when a couple store attendants flirted with you, and Tae sneered at them in response. Right after the second store attendant flirts with you, Taehyung pulls you into the dressing room and locks the door.
“I think I need to remind you who you belong to, yeah?” He growls and attaches his lips to your neck, pressing himself against you. You gasp and moan a little, trying to stay quiet, but that only encourages Taehyung who smirks on your skin.
“Need any assistance?” The attendant calls.
“I can take care of it on my own, thanks,” Taehyung snaps, his lips quickly reattaching to your collarbone.
Jungkook: You two were out with the boys, and for some reason you and Jimin had been attached at the hip all day, laughing and sharing secrets and telling stories. Jungkook just silently watched and felt sad. He didn’t want his hyung to hate him for asking him to stay away from you, and he didn’t want the same from you. He didn’t want to overreact, so he stayed quiet, but felt his anger and jealousy boiling up all day. When you were out to eat, Jimin grabbed your hand and pulled you over by him to sit, and that’s when Jungkook couldn’t stay silent any longer. He grabs your hand and pulls you back into his chest.
“Let me sit with my girlfriend.” He says shortly, and kisses your head shyly and sits you next to him, holding your hand tightly and sitting you on the opposite side from Jimin. He leans over and brushes your hair back, whispering in your ear, “I didn’t like how you acted today, ignoring me, so we’re gonna spend some quality time together when we get back to the dorm, yeah?” His voice is gravelly and low, and sends shivers down your spine and you nod, seeing the hot, dark look in his eyes.
Thanks so much!! I really enjoyed typing this, and I hope you enjoy it too! Thanks for submitting babe :)

inktober for writers - day 8 - impasse / eijiroctober - day 8 - w Kaminari Denki
A/N: Sero is 100000% the instigating friend who you hate to love but you totally do anyway bc they’re supernaturally charming and hella fun. enjoy my fave boy stirring up trouble in this kirikami drabble.... (also, can u believe that i went from having a slight distate for this ship to obsessing over it??? this is my 2nd kirikami-centric fic and im... crying? thank u for showing me the light, my fellow krkm shippers. bless!)
Sero leans back in his chair and puts his hands behind his head. His smile is childishly impish.
“I mean... I can come back later. Or we can do this another time.” He laughs, enjoying the scene of the two boys in front of him in the midst of an argument.
Kirishima whips his head, forgetting all about the blond across from him. “No, it’s already been settled. We’re not ordering from the burger place. We ate there three times this week!” The redhead turns back to the blond with a stern expression on his face. “We’re ordering sushi, Denki. That’s it.” He snatches a lone menu off the table and starts to leaf through it. “If you really insist on beef today, I’m sure you could find something to order from here. But we’re not eating at that burger place again. Everyone’s tired.”
Sero shrugs. He never really had order-out preferences. As long as the place that they ended up ordering from had salad, he was fine. And most places do offer salad, so he couldn’t be bothered to truly care. He was only concerned with the pre-order drama. Kaminari catches the minute movement and starts pointing towards him. “See? Sero doesn’t mind, he’s just gonna get salad anyway!” Sero nods wordlessly, goofy smile still in place. Kirishima rolls his eyes. “Let’s get burgers! I promise next movie night I won’t even get a say,” Kaminari begs, folding his hands together in pleading. Kirishima sighs tiredly. “You said that last time, babe. And the time before that. And—“
“The time before that too,” Sero finishes, laughing. The look that Denki shoots at him is lethal.
“Whose side are you even on?”
“The side of getting food. We do this every weekend. We’ve gotta make a system or something. This is why Blasty and Mina stopped coming.”
Denki wrinkles his nose is disagreement. “Bakugou stopped coming because he hates the idea of fun,” Sero thinks about this and shrugs. He means, yeah, it was probably actually that but still. “And Mina is.... busy.” Sero raises an eyebrow and smirks.
“Or she stopped coming because she, too, has grown tired of ‘Sushi vs Burger’ debates. It’s old. Let’s just do Indian.”
“No,” the other two reply in unison. “You just said you didn’t even have an opinion though,” Kaminari starts again. “So you can’t switch it up. No Indian. No sushi.” Before Kirishima can dissent again, Kaminari slinks towards him and wraps his arms around his torso. “Pleeease? It’s just one more night, Eiji, and you haven’t even tried everything on the menu.” Sero watches on in amusement. The blond’s argument was weak (who needs to eat at the same place four times in one week? And who cares if everything on the menu hasn’t been tasted yet? They don’t want it!) but the core of his winning strategy was not words...
Sero watches on as Kaminari’s gold colored eyes widen as big as saucers, irises expertly eliciting intense melancholy. Sero’s always impressed at this grand display, wondering how the transformation from ‘stubborn, brattish boyfriend’ to ‘pathetic child with only days left to live’ is made to look so easy. It’s almost like he has a second quirk! His lashes even play along, carefully accentuating the look, looking longer and more voluminous. Sero’s heart swells in admiration.
That’s his best friend. His partner in crime. He couldn’t have asked for a more inspiring friend.
Scam on, buddy ol’ pal.
Kirishima looks conflicted. His cheeks burn pink, but he tries to maintain a look of sternness. “Denki, stop it,” Kirishima says, voice much too affectionate for a guy trying to put his foot down. Sero snickers into his hand. He’s losing. Like always. Kaminari doesn’t let up, eyes getting wider and drawing out more compassion by the second. Kirishima looks weak, face no longer molded into a look of defiance but, instead, resignation.
“Fine,” he pouts, his pink face clashing with the bold red of his hair. “Now, move. So we can order the same thing we get every time.”
The blond obeys happily, eyes back to normal and shooting Sero a conspiratorial look. The other boy laughs and extends his palm, wordlessly initiating a high-five. Kirishima looks on with an unreadable expression.
Sero turns to him and smiles, shaking his head. “You’re gonna have to shake it up sometime, dude. This is getting sadly predictable.”
Kaminari laughs while Sero gets up to stretch. “Now that that’s over, what’s the movie for tonight? We did a comedy last week, so I’m thinkin’ maybe a thriller tonight?”
Sero shrugs. “Didn’t Kirishima wanna do a Disney film?” Sero glances over at the boy in question. “Yo, which movie did you wa— What are you doing?” The redhead is sneaking off towards the bathroom, a sushi menu and cellphone in either hand. Kaminari gasps dramatically.
“You already said we could do burgers! You can’t go back!” The blond’s face is marred with an intense look of betrayal. “You don’t even know what I’d want from there!”
“You’re not hard to order for, babe. We’ve been dating for two years. I’d like to think that I know what you like by now.”
Kaminari scoffs. “No, you don’t. Come back so I can see my options.”
Kirishima shakes his head. “You’ll just pull the puppy-eyes out again.” The boy gives the other an unimpressed look. “We all took the same Villain Strategies course.”
Sero bursts into laughter as Kaminari places his hand over his heart in offense. “You think I’m a villain?”
“Low-level terrorist,” Kirishima corrects and Sero doubles over with tears in his eyes. Almost immediately, Kaminari begins to run at Kirishima. The other boy turns to continue running towards the bathroom. Sero barely has time to recover before he has to follow after the two of them, his stomach sore from laughter. The hallway echoes with the noise of shoes hitting the ground and the strained yelling of out-of-breath boys. Soon, Sero hears the slam of a door. After he rounds a corner, he finds Kaminari not too far away, breathing heavily and pushing up against the bathroom door in vain.
“He’s leaning up against it in his hardened form,” Kaminari explains without sparing a glance in his direction. His face is red and slick with sweat. Sero fights the urge to crumple into laughter. Before he can say anything, a muffled voice escapes from inside the bathroom. “Hello? Wasabi?... Yes! Are you guys delivering right now?” Sero bites his tongue to keep from laughing at the distressed face of the blond near him. “NO, BABE. DON’T DO THIS! COME OUT, LET’S TALK ABOUT IT!” Kaminari bangs on the door repeatedly, the noise echoing throughout the hallway.
From inside the bathroom, Kirishima continues speaking into the phone. “Huh? Oh, no, everything’s fine. That’s... some weird guy outside. Yeah, yeah, it’s cool. So, I’m gonna go ahead and order the seared sa—“
“I’m not just some weird guy! I’m the boyfriend! The boyfriend who DOES. NOT. WANT. SUSHI.”
Sero laughs, unable to control himself any longer. “So you’re the weird-guy boyfriend?”
Kaminari glares daggers. “Don’t you have something better to do?”
“Like what?”
“Like helping me.”
Sero shakes his head, grinning. “I told you two that I wouldn’t pick sides in an argument, like, ever. I think this qualifies.”
Kaminari’s eyes narrow. “You’re a snake, Sero Hanta.”
“Says the guy getting the bulk of his debate skills from Strategical Villainy 101.”
Just as Kaminari bucks up to respond, Kirishima wails defeatedly from inside the bathroom. “No, dude. Dude. It’s not even a serious argument. Like, I just happen to want this and he wants... He wants some other place. Look, it’s fine. We can go through with the—“
The redhead’s voice is cut off and the only thing that can be heard from the bathroom is the barely audible voice of the person on the other line. Sero raises his eyebrows in curiosity. “He’s FINE. He’ll eat anyth—“ Another pause. “What? Are you ser— Yes, he’s just being dramatic, we ate what he wanted three times this week.”
“Okay, but one of those times my order got messed up!”
“Babe, that doesn’t matter. We still ate there and... Ooh! And Lily-san agrees! It still counts!”
“Okay, well, you tell Lily-san about how you don’t even really eat there! You order fries and then you order out by yourself later!”
“That’s not relev— Wait, Lily-san, yeah, that’s what happens, but that’s still compromise.”
Sero’s amusement slowly tapers into casual indifference as the conversation continues on between Kirishima, Kaminari, and “Lily-san,” who he assumes is a nosy cashier with way too much time on her hands.
“So... Are we ordering food soon?”
“Uh, yeah, dude, but Lily is in the middle of a story right now, don’t be rude,” Kaminari whispers. The couple is now sitting beside each other in the hallway, prior argument completely forgotten, as they listen to Lily intently on speaker with Kirishima’s cellphone on the floor between them. Sero rolls his eyes, feeling slightly annoyed for the first time today. Instigating isn’t supposed to end like this. This is not what he signed up for. “Alright. Well, I’ll be back later, I guess. Maybe I’ll come back with Mina.”
“Uh-huh,” Kirishima replies distractedly. “Bye.”
Sero rolls his eyes again as he walks back around the corner and up the hallway again. He fishes his phone out of his pocket and starts typing. SEROtonin: @ALIEN_QUEEN @EXPLODOKILLINKING anyone wanna go 4 pizza ALIEN_QUEEN: @SEROtonin @EXPLODOKILLINKING omg yes im starving ALIEN_QUEEN: @SEROtonin @EXPLODOKILLINKING wait ur not w k+k?

Review: I Believe in a Thing Called Love by Maurene Goo
I have given this book ☆☆☆. 325 pages. It belongs to the Young Adult Contemporary genre. Farrar, Straus & Giroux published it. It was published 30th May 2017. I would recommend it to anyone who loves quirky heroines and light, fluffy contemporary young adult romances.
The blurb reads: “Desi Lee believes anything is possible if you have a plan. That’s how she became student body president. Varsity soccer star. And it’s how she’ll get into Stanford. But—she’s never had a boyfriend. In fact, she’s a disaster at romance, a clumsy, stammering humiliation magnet whose botched attempts at flirting have become legendary with her friends. So when the hottest human specimen to have ever lived walks into her life one day, Desi decides to tackle her flirting failures with the same zest she’s applied to everything else in her life. She finds guidance in the Korean dramas her father has been obsessively watching for years—where the hapless heroine always seems to end up in the arms of her true love by episode ten. It’s a simple formula, and Desi is a quick study. Armed with her “K Drama Steps to True Love”, Desi goes after the moody, elusive artist Luca Drakos—and boat rescues, love triangles, and staged car crashes ensue. But when the fun and games turn to true feels, Desi finds out that real love is about way more than just drama.”
I apologise that I don’t have any quotes for this review (and therefore, little to no evidence) because I went on vacation with this book and forgot to bring my post it notes.
"But I never lost the belief that you could will something just by sticking to it, by being unwavering. By keeping your eyes on the prize. And by doing that, there was nothing you couldn’t control about your own life.”
Verdict:
I wanted to really love I Believe in a Thing Called Love (IBiaTCL). After all, the MC is a girl of Asian descent (that’s me) who is naturally an overachiever (not exactly me but I can relate), has trouble dating (23 and terribly single with no prospects whatsoever) and loves Korean dramas (also me).
But I’m terribly on the fence with it.
Mostly because Desi Lee is written as such a caricature of K-dramas, ignoring the fact that Korean dramas are incredibly diverse. They have the typical high school romances (that IBiaTCL are most likely based on), crime dramas, soap opera-like dramas, family dramas and the list goes on. Even though Maurene Goo is of Asian descent, IBiaTCL seems to have been written from a very white lens and is as clichéd and predictable as they come.
But, when it comes to the K-dramas of the cheesy, romance variety, clichedness and predictability are at its core. And that’s why IBiaTCL got three stars despite how much I disliked it.
Also, it’s well-written, fast-paced and Desi Lee’s antics are incredibly funny in a what-the-fuck-are-you-doing sort of way. It’s refreshing to see her antics /mostly/ backfire and she has to try and save herself.
In the end, I hoped IBiaTCL had ended differently but ah, well.
[contains spoilers]
The Bad:
This gets a little rant-y.
There’s so much incredulity with Desi Lee that she seems like an almost unrealistic MC. Aside from the ridiculous name (which is attributed to her parents’ love for Desi Arnaz of I Love Lucy fame).
Desi is an overachiever who knows all there is to about cars, is a sports star, class president and all around know it all.
To top it off, she’s got super dooper good-looking best friends
and boo-hoo, she’s the least good-looking one
and she gets picked on because she’s an annoying know-it-all.
Yet, Desi thinks she’s super friendly and nice and that everyone likes her.
And she’s super obsessive, she stalks her crush and manufactures moments to bump into him and make him fall in love with her.
Let’s also not forget that there’s the oh-so-cliched female rival who hates Desi’s guts because of something Desi didn’t even know she was doing.
Oh, and the cherry on top of the cake, is that the guy falls immediately for her.
On the other hand, I can’t ignore the fact that since IBiaTCL is heavily influenced by K-dramas, these sort of things are pretty much standard in a K-drama plot. The heroine is unrealistically beautiful and everything seems to fall in her lap, yet, she’s branded as the outcast and the weird one, and in Desi’s case, a world-class nerd.
In K-dramas, no matter how ridiculous it sounds, the heroine goes out of her way to manipulate her love interest to fall in love with her. Even in a most recent drama, Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo, a university student pretty much sacrifices a lot of her life’s hopes and dreams to make her love interest fall in love with her, lying about who she is and such. Although, I will say that it’s mostly in high school drama romances that this sort of thing happens because romances with adults are less, for lack of a better word, ridiculous.
But it’s just such a cringe-y rendition of how K-dramas can be used to fall in love that makes reading IBiaTCL such a troublesome read.
My big overarching issue with IBiaTCL is how much YA and society has progressed today but instead, this book sort of regresses.
For one, Desi Lee is the smartest, most accomplished girl in school. Instead of using her wits and her smarts, she throws all her intelligence out the window to chase this useless boy who couldn’t even see how much she’s worth. She’s not in the Art Club and immediately, he casts her out. Like, wtv, if you can’t see how smart I am and what a great female president I would be in ten years, bye felicia. But no, Desi Lee sees the hottest thing to cross her path and give her a little attention and she latches on.
Secondly, there’s just so much female rivalry in the book that I’m like, aren’t we already past this? YA can do better, babes. Violet who is in the Art Club, insanely pretty, also Korean and also vying for Luca’s affection is portrayed as an incredibly catty, petty and vindictive woman. And oh, it’s revealed later Violet and Desi used to know each other but Desi moved on and left the church and play school and shit and forgot about Violet which is so fucking normal. She was a kid when it happened, did Violet expect her to remember for the rest of her lives? I avoid people I know in primary school. It’s fucking normal unless you go up to her and introduce yourself????
Not to mention, Desi is contrasted directly against Lucas ex-girlfriend, Emily, who’s like insanely beautiful and model like and ruined Luca’s life by letting him get arrested for her graffiti and then completely discarding him and putting him aside. But Luca gets angry when Emily wants to commemorate their relationship by putting in on social media and says:
“You just reminded me how it’s never been about me, or how you feel about me. How it’s about manipulating your image, what it looks like to everyone else. How I can never tell what’s real.”
Yeah, damn straight. Manipulating. Even Desi realises it.
But oh, yay, congrats because Luca forgives her in the end for being fucking manipulative and almost risking his life. Because she even manufactured a car accident a la Descendants of the Sun but without the precarious cliff-dangling.
But I think the worst part about IBiaTCL is that Desi was ready to give up a life of Stanford and gloriousness for fucking love. She was a definite shoo-in for the off-Ivy League institution, hell, I would give my arm and my leg to study at Stanford but she throws it all away to drive halfway across the country for Luca????? That’s a stupid ass decision right there.
And it’s the most unrealistic thing. Girls, please never ever throw away your hopes and your dreams for some stupid boy who couldn’t even appreciate you for all your smarts and wits in the first place. He’s not worth it. He’s only in it for the sex.
And speaking of useless boys, why couldn’t we have an Asian love interest??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? WHY WAS DESI SO OBSESSED WITH THIS BOY WHOSE HERITAGE IS NOT ASIAN AND I’M NOT GOING TO ASSUME THAT HE’S LATINX??????????????????????????? She can clearly call him Won Bin (who, by the way, is not at all the standard of male handsomeness or even at the top of the desired K-actor list). Why couldn’t Maurene Goo have given us an Asian love interest? This brings to mind the whole why are brown men so obsessed with white women on screen thing and makes me wonder if it’s the same thing here.
The Good:
One of the good things about IBiaTCL is definitely the portrayal of Korean American home life. I am neither and I can’t speak about how authentic or realistic it is but it’s nice to have these sort of experiences in YA. It’s nicer to have them explained and discussed as opposed to Jenny Han’s To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before where Korean American home life is touched on very briefly.
Although, it’s interesting that in both these books with Korean American protagonists, the mother is not present and instead, the father has to raise a daughter. But then again, even in K-dramas, this seems to be a theme.
Another thing I thought was a nice touch is that in writing IBiaTCL, Maurene Goo consulted the moderators of dramabeans.com which I would go as far to say, is the leading source of drama recaps. My sister uses it. My friends use it. I don’t lol mostly because I prefer watching my dramas as opposed to reading them. So, on the topic of K-dramas, this book is in good hands.
In conclusion, K-dramas thrive on being extremely unrealistic, as do romantic comedies. Why should I expect this book to be any different?

-- (BACK TO YOUR POV) --
I woke up with a body ache as my eyes try to regain my normal eyesight.
I was expecting that I'm back at my prison room, where Sans used to imprison me.
But I didn't wake up in there.
I woke up in a bed, a comfy one.
Regaining my energy, I tried stretching my arms and legs, but ended myself up suffering in pain.
Then I realized that my clothes were changed.
DID THAT FUCKTARD CHANGED ME LAST NIGHT?
That perverted imbecile.
I quickly tried to sit, but all these muscle pain triggered and guess what, I failed to do so.
While suffering from the pain, Sans came in with pills and my breakfast in a tray.
"Good morning, cookie. Did ya sleep well?" He asked while putting down my breakfast beside me.
My breakfast are newly cooked waffles with syrup and a tall glass of milk.
Damn this is delicious. Never expected this from a crazy ass skeleton.
"Still aching everywhere. Can't even make myself move." I replied weakly as he chuckled.
"Here, let me help you ; nice and slow." He walked beside me and supported my back and the back of my thighs with his hands.
When he attempted to carry me, I felt a sudden jolt of pain as I groaned and closed my eyes.
"Are you okay?" He assures me as he caressed my back.
"Yeah, I guess." I mumbled as he continued to help me sit up.
After seconds of pain and suffering, I successfully sat down in the bed with my back leaning against the pillow and my lower part resting on his bed.
"Okay. Can you feed yourself?" He asks as he settles my breakfast in a tray on my lap.
"I d-don't know. My body's really painful." I groaned as he sat beside me on the edge of his bed.
He grabbed the fork and knife beside my plate and started slicing the waffles into medium pieces that are small enough for my mouth to munch.
"Open wide, babe." He commanded as I opened my mouth to get a bite of his delicious art

After finishing my meal and taking my medicine, Sans and I had a little conversation.
"So, uh, do you think that this war will end?" I asked.
"I'm not sure, but heck am I tired of doing this." He ranted.
"Tired of what?"
"Of-" His phone suddenly rang as he picked it up from a small table and answered it.
"Hello?"
"She's not fine. She attempted to escape but a part of Undyne's army attacked her to make sure she was weak enough."
"Yeah, weak enough to KILL HER!"
"What do you mean I need to bring her there? Alphys, she's weak and when she tries to move a limb, she'll lose her mind from the pain!"
This imbecile is strangely thoughtful...
and who the hell is Alphys?
"Use a wheelchair? I seriously can't move her limbs remember?! Hey, look. Don't be sad because I am mad at you, okay?"
"Oh, she urgently requested? heh. okay. I'll talk to her instead. Okay?"
"Bye." He ended the call with this 'Alphys' thing
"Who was that?"
"It was Alphys. I'll explain to you later who she is. Right now, I need to call someone else. Excuse me for a minute."
He stood up and walked to the door but he stopped.
"Wait. You'll end up getting bored in here. I might take long but I'll let you watch a movie." He said as he grabbed a cd compiler
(AN: Those circular thing with jean-ish texture and a zipper and when you open it, you'll see cds)
He scanned through the compiler as he smirked and pulled out a cd.
You bitch don't tell me you're going to let me watch something kids wouldn't watch.
"This is one of my favorite movies. It's 10 Things I Hate About You. You'll enjoy it. I promise."
He turned on the television and the cd player and inserted the cd inside of it, then the opening started playing.
"There we go, I'll be back soon, I promise." He smiled as he left me all alone in his room.
Oh boy.

-- Sans' POV --
I rushed to my living room and dialed Undyne's number on my phone.
"HELLO, THIS IS THE GREAT PAPYRUS SPEAKING, HOW MAY I-"
Oh, wait. I forgot that Papyrus is her "secretary".
"Hey, Pap. I need to talk to Undyne right now."
"OH! HELLO BROTHER! WAIT A SECOND."
(Background sounds)
"UNDYNE! UNDYNE! SANS WOULD WANT TO HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH YOU RIGHT NOW!"
"GIVE ME A MINUTE, PAP!"
*mumbles something that I can't quite hear*
"What the hell do you want, G?"
"ARE YOU FUCKING-"
Contain yourself, G.
I inhaled as I gave out my best tone.
"Look, the human is badly injured, can you give us a couple of weeks for her to-"
"A COUPLE OF WEEKS? G, ARE YOU SERIOUS? MY ARMY IS GETTING TIRED OF LISTENING TO THE SAME LESSONS OVER AND OVER AGAIN AND MY ARMY'S DECREASING AT POPULATION COUNT! Who knows, some cunt killed a part of them." She shouted, making me throw my phone on the floor.
Thank Asgore that this phone is "surface-proof".
"I know and STOP SCREAMING"
Actually, I'm the cunt who killed one part of your army, Undyne just to keep the lady safe so uhm, yeah. I know.
"But, if it's okay with you and Alphys, can you please try to make Mettaton go here, or maybe Alphys can come too." I hesitantly requested.
"ARE YOU SERIOUS, G? YOUR HOUSE IS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HUMAN'S BASE! YOU'RE JUST COVERING UP IN THERE TO CAPTURE HUMANS LIKE THAT NITWIT YOU HAVE THERE!"
"For your information, I kinda teleported the whole house to the monster base and STOP SCREAMING IN THE NAME OF ASGORE!
She's not a nitwit! She's fragile and brave. All that she wanted is for this war to end like the other humans desire. Just, please. She's too weak. We're on the surface so food won't heal her that much, even the surface CORE won't do much."
I'd dare not to say this but, Undyne. If you consider her kind as nitwits, then fuck me; she's the bravest and most amazing nit wit ever.
"Wow. That was fast. Okay, fine. I'll give you 3 weeks. After that, I'll send Alphys and Mettaton there. Take care of her with all your dignity. I'll-"
"Christ, Undyne. Stop with those corny-ass speeches. Papyrus will end up training you with his greatness."
"Whatever. Oh and I'll send the Dummy and Muffet there to keep her company. Sounds good?"
FINALLY!
"Yeah. Sounds good. Thanks, Dyne!"
"Don't call me that!" Heh, must be irritated.
"Ok. Sure, whatever. Welp, gotta check how she's doing. See ya."
"See ya, lazy wondernerd."
Muffet.
MUFFET!
"Wait! Undyne!"
"What?!"
"How's Muffet doing? I accidentally crushed her because of my lazers before I kidnapped the human."
"Oh, she's been recovering. When Cake knew about the accident, Cake told me that If she ever saw you again, She'll swear to Asgore she will kill you."
"Oh, I am sooo scared huhu. Anyways, See you soon!"
"She wasn't joking, actually. Cake can get really vicious and relentless than Muffet."
"Yeah I am aware of that. I really need to go now. Bye!"
"Bye again."
Bless this angry fish, Asgore. Bless that fish.

---------------------------------
After my heated conversation with Undyne, I plan to make the human's dinner for tonight.
I don't feel hungry that much but I'm sure that the human's hungry.
I chopped some onions, garlic, bell peppers and mushrooms. I started preheating a pan and a pot of water and opened a pack of pasta. If Pap ever had teleporting powers like mine, Oh he will want some of these and run around while shouting "GOOD SHIT" in every angle of the house.
(TIME SKIP LOOOOL)

--------------------------------------
After the cooking process has been done, I did some plating stuff and made sure it's worth her health. I grabbed her pills and a glass of water and placed it on the tray. I grabbed the tray and went back to my room. I opened the door with my powers.
As I opened the door, I saw her still in the same position, still watching the same movie but in a different scene. This is the scene where Kat volunteers to dictate her poem (that was dedicated to Patrick) in class.
"Hey sweetcheeks! How are you doing?" I asked her.
"I feel sad for Kat because she thinks that Patrick was playing her feelings! Buuuut on the other hand, I blame Joey for being a dickass."
"Heh, same here. I'll prepare a box of tissue in case you'll cry on the next thing that will happen."
"What do you mean?"
I pointed my finger on the tv as Kat started her poem:
" I hate the way you talk to me, and the way you cut your hair.
I hate the way you drive my car, I hate it when you stare.
I hate your big dumb combat boots, and the way you read my mind.
I hate you so much that it makes me sick. It even makes me rhyme.
I hate the way you're always right. I hate it when you lie.
I hate it when you make me laugh, Even worse when you make me cry. "
Prue started tearing up as I chuckled a bit. She looks so fucking cute.
"What's so funny?" She angrily asked me as I smiled
"Nothing, nothing. I remembered something." I remembered you being the cutest fucker when I first talked to you.
She scoffed as she continued watching the tear jerking scene.
" I hate the way you're not around, and the fact that you didn't call.
But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you.
Not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all. "
After Kat ran out of class (in the movie), I glared at Prue, all wet with her tears.
I chuckled a bit.
But I asked myself;
Will she love me back?
