#I'd say Changbin is doing it for me the most this era so i give it to him but Jeongin is a very very close 2nd

[hwanghyunjinenthusiast]

I forgot to live blog the rest of my reactions lol. Shit came up but, I did finish listening the album.

If I were to do a ranking off of the first listen I'd say:

Chk Chk Boom (easily the biggest banger off the album. Great production. Everyone sounds good for the most part. Phenomenal energy and it's definitely going to be in my regular rotation. Excellent choice for the title track.)

I Like It (Feels very classic boyband to me. I wasn't sure how I felt about it when it first started but, I go on board very quickly. Definitely also going to be in regular rotation.)

Runners (another bop. Some of the lyrics are cringey but, I can get past it. I always love high energy SKZ so, a no brainer)

JJAM (I'm going to be real, these might some of Stray Kids's cringiest lyrics lol. Outside of the chorus, it's a really solid and fun song though.)

Mountains (I put it under JJAM because JJAM had higher highs to me and at least took risks. I do like Mountains but, I do think it's not that exciting of a song.)

Stray Kids (very sweet and hearing them do the Stray Kids ablib made me emotional but, overall, it's not that interesting of a song.)

twilight (a beautiful song but, I'm not a big ballad person so, it unfortunately ended up last.)

3racha reaction to: their idol s/o using a beat they gave them for their new comeback.

Masterlist

Bang Chan

He's the type to always give you beats for your music as he's always working on the studio

He'd send you tons of ideas and you'd spend a good time talking it over

Unfortunately, you hadn't gotten the opportunity to include any of the beats on your songs

So most of them only stayed as drafts

But then the opportunity finally comes and you don't hesitate to work on it

Obviously without letting him know,

You wanted it to be a surprise

So when it's D-day, you're busy filming and preparing for the upcoming music shows, so you text him

"Have you listened yet?"

"I am on it, i got 4 songs left"

"And it's really good! I'll let you know my thoughts when I'm done, though"

To say you're nervous is an understatement

"Wait a minute"

"Is this...?"

"It is! I worked hard on it and it was double the hard to keep it a secret from you"

Doesn't stop texting you about how good it is

When he gets the chance to see you he won't stop talking about it

Compliments you a lot and says you made a great job

Next thing you know is he plays your album on the next Chan's room

He tells everyone to show you support and love

"I've given Y/N beats to use for their songs, and they got the chance to include one on this album, can y'all guess which one is it?"

Seo Changbin

He'd be so excited about your comeback and would want to know every detail about it

He'd be really curious since every comeback you had, you'd tell him everything about the songs, concept and inspiration behind it

But this one was a complete enigma

He'd try to get information from you or even the producers that worked with you, but he fails in every occasion

Until a day before the comeback he convinces you to listen to the album

And who are you to tell him no

It's a boyfriend privilege

And he looks really curious, so you agree

So the night before, you're at your studio

He gets comfortable on the couch and closes his eyes

"Do you have to do that?"

"Of course I have to! So I can properly listen to and enjoy every song."

So the first song starts, and you look at him

He moves his head to the rhythm and hums

You think he looks adorable

and the urge to kiss him?? increasingly high

However, you just admire him while he's at his thing

You get nervous as that track starts

And for a moment you just want to look somewhere else because of the nervousness you're feeling

But you are very curious to see how he's going to react

And thankfully, it's a good reaction

He looks very impressed when he realizes

He is in a state of pure shock and his eyes go to the laptop where you're playing the album and to your smiling face

When he's out of the shock he starts vibing to the song and listening carefully to the lyrics

He makes a whole LIST of what he thinks of the album

He makes sure he picks up every single detail and compliments you for everything you did

Won't shut up about it, like ever

He'd send the link to the album to every contact he has on his phone when it's out

"Should I convince my management to use every single beat you've given to me? Because I'd love to see you this hyped all the time."

He's a proud boyfriend

Han Jisung

He makes sure to clear his schedule and be with you to listen to your album together

Your staff has prepared a small party, so he's there to celebrate

When you released new music, you were used to send him the songs previously

Just to know what he thinks

But this time you wanted to see his real-time reaction

You're gathered in the room, this one being decorated with the thematic of the album

And he even buys you a cake

When the clock strikes 12 am everyone makes a toast to the success of this new era

And you all start listening to all the songs as you check out the public reaction from time to time

On every song he'd be like: "Yeah, this is my favorite song now."

He truly is your #1 fan

When he is interested on the lyrics of a certain song he'd ask you about what inspired you to write it

And when the song you've been waiting to hear all night finally starts

You look at him with curiosity

"I want to know what you think of this one."

He'd pay extra attention once you tell him that

And it takes him 1 second to realise why

His face is just pure awe

He'd be super excited about it

"Baby! You did such an amazing job on this album!"

He'd joke around and say things like he's a genius for giving that beat to you because it sounded amazing and fits well in the album

But overall he would be just very proud of your hard work

Would want to make lots of songs for you and make more collaborations in the future

Won't stop complimenting you all night

And would recommend your work on every opportunity he has

♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤

Perched on the couch, I glanced at the clock again: 7:27 PM. I buried my face in my sweater-paws in a burst of adrenaline. 

This is it; this is it; this is IT, my inner voice screamed. He’s gonna be here any motherfluffing second now! In my building! In my apartment! With ME!

A sharp knock at the door snapped me out of my anxious thoughts. At long last, the moment I'd played out in my head so many different ways was finally transpiring before my wide eyes and thumping heart. After months of texting, selfie sharing, and videochatting, my boyfriend would finally be on the same side of the world as I.

I shot off the couch in pure, unfettered excitement but forced myself not to skip to the door, employing a calculated casualness as I took a deep breath before gripping the knob and twisting it open.

My poor little heart slammed harder against its cage as I gazed at Changbin, absolutely decked in an all-black suit and holding a bouquet of unusually dark red roses. Leave it to Binnie to go all out with his fondess for all things dark. 

I let out a much-restrained giggle as he grinned ear to ear, giving me an expression so much more happier than any of the ones I’d seen when I answered his video calls. His eyes crinkled as he took me in and let the attraction bloom across his glowing face.

He emitted a contented hmm before I finally broke the smile-off and said softly, “Annyeong, jalsaenggin.”

“A-annyeong, areumdaoon,” Changbin replied, adorably nervous.

I beckoned him inside the apartment, closed the door, and turned to face him. Eyeing the flowers in his hand, I said, “You've been planning to give me flowers even though I told you they’re not necessary, haven’t you?”

He glanced down at the floor with a sinister chuckle. “Ne.”

I shook my head with a smirk. “You didn't have to, but gamsahamnida.” I bowed my head at him, genuinely thankful for this sweet surprise.

“Cheonmaneyo,” he replied after bowing at me as well, still smiling with those tantalizing, full lips.

Segueing from the bouquet, I eyed his sleek outfit and touched a hand to his shoulder. “And you put on a suit for me?”

Changbin bit his lower lip—something I’d stupidly admitted turns me on when I was tipsy one night—and took a small step closer. “When we were in New York, when you and I talked about award shows, you said I look good in yangbok.”

This boy and his memory...

Dramatically planting my hands on my hips, I raised my voice a little: “Well I lied, Binnie. You look sexy in yangbok.”

His eyes had instinctually widened when I said “lied,” but then he scrunched his face into a disgustingly cute (≧◡≦) expression of childlike joy.

After we shared some shy chuckles, I sighed, still alive with energy. “Well,” I began, reaching for the bouquet, “let me put these in water.” I started toward the kitchen before he grabbed my wrist, gently yanking me back.

Unmoved, he stood in the entryway with raised arms and expectant eyes, and I realized he had been patiently waiting the whole time to embrace me.

I cackled in my mind for a second before saying, “Two minutes; I promise. Put your shoes there.” I pointed to a small, makeshift closet area wedged between my bedroom and bathroom, then I slipped into the kitchen, our eyes glued to each other the entire time.

Once I'd dropped the roses into a long-forgotten vase I dug out of a seldom opened cabinet, I pivoted on the smooth tile and boosted myself up onto the counter, near the sink, in one fluid motion. Changbin had been patiently leaning, hands in pockets, against a pillar directly across the kitchen with seductive, hooded eyes.

Time to make that a shit-eating grin.

I locked eyes with him and opened my bent legs outward, heels against the cabinets. I raised my arms and fought the urge to espouse a flirtatious expression while he wasted no time marching across the kitchen and wrapping his firm arms around me as I wrapped my legs around his torso. He nuzzled his head into the crook of my neck, and I rested my head atop his.

I tenderly stroked his abundant black hair with one hand and gripped a toned shoulder blade with the other. My heart had slowed down a bit, but it was still abnormal enough for him to feel my jugular throbbing against his cheek. He held me so tightly—not uncomfortably... but passionately. Making up for all the lost time and lost touch.

I felt Changbin starting to trail a finger up my spine, and just as he was hoping, I involuntarily lurched against him. So he’s gonna play that game with me... I thought. I exhaled loudly and whispered into his ear, “You can either save that for later or much sooner than later. Your choice.”

He laughed against my neck, finally pulling away just enough to see my face. He paused, taking his sweet time mining my bright eyes for clues. In this moment, I realized despite my nervous fervor that he’d done his whole skincare routine before coming here, and the scent of his favorite cologne was emanating from his visibly pulsing jugular.

“Sooner, please,” Changbin answered quietly, gazing at me with begging eyes.

“Sooner,” I nodded, leaning in to delicately kiss him, not pressing my lips too hard against his. I wanted to savor the feeling of his unfairly beautiful lips on mine. But, mashing his lips deeper, he slid his hands beneath my ass to whisk me off the counter, still tightly wrapped around his back like the precious cargo I am.

He carried me to my bedroom as I placed random kisses on his smooth skin. At the foot of the bed, he let my body, almost unwillingly, cascade to the floor, keeping his hands on my waist.

“‘Just hang out and talk,’ huh,” I remarked sarcastically with a chuckle. I weaved my arms underneath his and hugged him closer, holding my face just a few inches from his.

Biting his lip again, Changbin paused to compose the perfect reply as he tucked my hair behind an ear. “We didn’t mention what we would do while we talked...” he trailed off, his eyelids drooping suggestively. 

I smirked and maneuvered my hands to undo his jacket button. Pausing, I looked up at him and said in a solemn voice, “I think I'll undress you, unlike that one night I chickened out before you left.”

“I knew you had it in you,” he murmured in a playfully patronizing tone.

“Oh, it's gonna be in me,” I lobbied back, narrowing my eyes and smirking again. I snaked my hands up his chest and over his shoulders to slide off his jacket. “I'll hang it all up so nothing wrinkles.”

Changbin followed me to the closet as I hung the jacket.

“Tell me, baby: what are you thinking about?” I asked, working on his shirt buttons.

While he paused to think up a good answer, I unbelted him and tugged out the edges of his shirt.

“Just you,” he said, confidently.

We worked his pants off together, and I hung them too. “Great minds think alike.” 

Then I removed his dress shirt as he stood there, just smiling like an idiot in love. After what seemed like forever, he was down to his last undergarments, which I left for the fun to come.

“They’re gone,” I noted in a soft voice while caressing his stomach, devoid of the abs he’d talked about so often during their tour.

Changbin groaned quietly, putting on a comical frown. “Don’t talk about it...”

I laughed, bent down to plant a kiss on the curve of his supple stomach, and led him back to the foot of the bed. I sat him down and backed up a few steps, preparing for something I rarely had the courage to do for boyfriends. He watched me intently, and I realized that his lips had seldom turned downward since he'd arrived.

“So,” I began, hands in my sweatshirt pocket and my excitement painfully, embarrassingly obvious, “you must feel like the best dressed person here.”

He nodded innocently as I weaseled out of the baggy sweatshirt and tossed it aside to reveal a scarlet open-cup bra with strategically placed, intricately lacy flowers adorning the cups. I watched his eyebrows rise as he assessed me feverishly.

“Well, I dressed up too,” I continued in my best velvety tone of flirtation.

Slowly and purposefully, I shimmied out of my equally baggy sweats and kicked those aside too. Now my full outfit was on display, and I felt a chill come over me. This time, I revealed a scarlet, gartered thong that featured more strategically placed lace and several strappy pieces holding the lace bits together—a barely-there kind of piece that emphasized the curves of my figure.

Finishing off the look was a pair of scarlet thigh-high stockings with matching lace at the top... his only clue if Changbin had noticed my toes enrobed in sheer red hosiery.

I stood straighter, sucked in my stomach, shifted my weight on either foot to demonstrate a few cheesy poses before giving him the full turnaround. He was dumbstruck, speechless, and empty-eyed, his face alight with intrigue as I inched forward and straddled him. Cupping his jaws below the ears and leaning in, I whispered, "Now undress me and touch my back again."

↳ Pre-Debut era

↳ Xiang goes to practice with the boys. Friendships are formed. Jisung gets wrecked on.

m.list

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

(x)

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

Xiang sips her hot chocolate as she walks to the JYP building. Beside her, Seungmin takes a drink of his coffee.

"Thanks for walking me to practice," Xiang speaks up. "I really didn't want to show up alone."

"It's not a problem, Changho," Seungmin says. "Besides, we're friends, right?"

"Woah, be sure you know what you're getting into."

Seungmin laughs, "You're a lot of fun, Changho. I'd call us friends."

Xiang side eyes him, "No take backs."

Seungmin laughs again and nudges Xiang with his shoulder.

"I've been assaulted."

The two make the rest of the way to the JYP beholding talking and laughing easily, arriving at one of the practice rooms a few minutes early. They enter and find nearly everyone has already arrived.

"Changho!"

Xiang looks toward where her name came from and finds Chan getting up from the ground to greet her.

"What's with the surprised tone? Did you think I wouldn't show up?"

"More like hoping you wouldn’t."

Xiang's head snaps toward the mumble, finding Jisung sitting with a boy she recognizes as Lee Felix.

"Honestly, a little," Chan says before she can retort.

"Thanks for the vote of confidence."

"But you're here now, which is great! You can help us with picking what to perform and give a new musical perspective."

"Did you rehearse saying that?"

"... No."

The latecomers, Changbin and Minho, arrive only two minutes late and Chan, the obvious leader, begins discussing ideas for the showcase with everyone. The topic of song was the biggest and most important decision. Some wanted to go with something more modern, others with an older, more classic song.

"I think something more classic would be better," Xiang speaks up at one point, "Especially if we're rearranging it and writing almost entirely new rap verses. Something everybody knows but doesn't have memorized because it's been playing constantly on the radio. That way it won't sound tacky or like we're trying too hard."

"Like we're trying too hard, you mean," Jisung says, "Since you're leaving tomorrow."

"Right, because that's the most important part of everything I just said. Thank you for your summary, very insightful."

Jisung is stunned by her snappy response, which shows in his face and causes the tall, pretty boy to burst out laughing.

"Oh my god, you are my favorite person ever; can you stay forever?"

"Shut up, Hyunjin," Jisung bites at the other member of Chan's team he doesn't get along with.

"You're just mad Changho's more quick witted than you."

"You mean everyone isn't?" Xiang asks with feign innocence, causing everyone but Jisung to laugh.

"Okay, back on topic!" Chan calls for order. "I agree with Changho. Something too new would sound weird rearranged with new lyrics and everything. Plus, nothing beats an original."

Eventually the song is decided and the rest of the practice is spent writing lyrics and deciding parts. Xiang helps but is ultimately given no parts. As she talks with the boys, helping them and getting to know them, she feels her resolve of getting out of this group no matter what weaken.

Chan brings her out to the hallway about ten minutes before everyone plans to finish up.

"Hey," he says awkwardly.

She leans on the wall as he stands in front of her, "Hi."

"So... what do you think?"

"I mean... I'll show you mine if you show me yours."

"Jesus Christ, no, Changho, please."

Xiang laughs as Chan groans and flushes slightly.

"Just kidding, Christopher," she says, "Yeah, no. I mean, I don't know."

"You get along really well with everyone. Well, almost everyone. But... I really think you could be a part of this team."

"I-"

Xiang stops herself, looking conflicted. Chan takes that as a good sign.

"At least think about it, yeah?"

Xiang takes a breath before answering.

"Yeah."

[hyunjinz]

Idk if winter falls counts as a bside since it had a whole gorgeous ass mv but rn I’m ADDICTED to it!!!! The melody is perfect the lyrics- the mv- everyone’s voices in it- just everything. I feel like the song is perfect for me🥺😍😮‍💨 OKAY BUT YOURE SO RIGHT!! Debut era is so u n d e r a t e d legit every bside is perfect. well I’ll be honest rock is probably my least fav song of theirs but I didn’t say that n the rest more than make up for that Might be my most fav debuts of all time!!! Even their pre debut is so good😤😤💓💗✊ I became a stay around then too!! Somewhere around my pace and I am you!!!🥰🥰

If I had to list my All Time BSide Favs it’d be insomnia, glow, 3rd eye, 19, phobia, booster, silent cry, question, star lost, b me, pacemaker, sunshine- I legit could go on forever bestie they just make Good Songs!!! N I personally think side effects is the most underrated main track- like I get it’s a lot. But. I couldn’t ask for me for a better title n mv n concept n it can never be replicated😍🙈🥰

q: which member(s) do you relate to the most and why, n for the rest what do you admire about them? (You can do ot8 for both or however you want to do it I just think it’s a wholesome idea) -❄️

hi hi! first of all I'm sorry it took me a while to reply! and second of all I'm gonna put this under read more because it's way longer than i thought it would be jsjdjsjs

OH MY GOD ARE YOU CAPABLE OF READING MY MIND?? hdhdbdh out of the bsides you listed here there's two i don't like that much but the rest are literally all my favs 🤣🤣 and yes side effects is awesome too!! that's one of the few kpop songs even my non kpop friends like lmao but i do understand those who don't like it i see why haha

omg i agree winter falls is SO good 😭😭😭 i knew after the first teaser that i will love it :'))) jisung's songs always hit different 🥺

and yess i wish more people would appreciate their debut era. i think it's a very solid debut album. but omg what is this rock slander hdhdhdh okay I'm joking. I've seen a lot of people who don't like rock so i guess it's just my bad taste because i like it 😂😂

okay i think i relate to jisung the most. he's my virgo brother hsbdbd I'm also an introvert like him you know the type to stay at home and watch a movie instead of going out with friends. and when i read the lyrics to his songs it's always as if it was meant for me because he describes exactly how i feel :')) also I'd like to believe I'm funny but i guess i don't really show that side of me on tumblr lmao but lately i started to somewhat resonate with seungmin. I'm the quiet but savage type even with my friends haha

and for what i admire the most about the boys. chan has amazing leadership qualities and i think it's very admirable how he always looks out for the members and makes sure they're okay and included and listens to them. he has such a calming aura to him and i just love this boy. i think everyone needs a friend like him in their lives :')))

for minho i think he's actually super sweet. i LOVE how he shows his love through small gestures like buying food or something :'))) i can relate to this well because i usually have a hard time verbalizing my feelings. and i also love that he shows real concern like in the haunted house episodes of skz code he always made sure lix was okay and that's just so sweet 🥺🥺🥺

and then changbin. i think he's such an interesting person. i feel like there's definitely more to him than what he usually shows. he gives me mature vibes 👀 he's someone i would love to have late night conversations with and hear his opinion about anything. and i love his confidence so much. like pls can he give some of that to me hdhdbd

hyunjin :'))) such a sweet emotional boy 🥺💖 just wanna wrap him in a blanket and protect him forever. i think he's a good listener, someone you could talk to when something's bothering you. and i appreciate his emotional side too i wanna be sappy together shhdhd and his charisma. i just can't take my eyes off of him he's incredible and talented 😭😭 i have so much love for this boy it's hard to verbalize certain characteristics i love about him djjdjd

i already talked about jisung but i definitely love his sense of humor the most. he's just effortlessly funny and brings up the mood! jisung king 👑

felix 🥺 such a sunshine 🌞 he's so positive all the time and bright and happy and even the smallest things bring him joy 😊 he just has so much love in his little heart 😭 definitely best friend material haha

seungmin! i appreciate his honesty. he just says whatever is on his mind but still not in a rude way. and often what he says comes out so funny 😂 and i love that he's so precise and whatever he does he wants to do it perfectly. I'm like that too but i hope he is not too hard on himself like the way i am with myself sometimes. i just think he's very neat and cool 😎

for jeongin I'd also say his maturity. he's the youngest but it often doesn't feel like it. and i also admire his growth as a person and as an idol. he's growing up in front of our eyes gfhfygh and there's also a sense of independency. like even if he's the youngest he tries not to rely on the others too much. and he's such a bean i love him 🥰

okay wow i didn't mean to write a whole ass novel djsjdbd but i had a lot of fun answering!! maybe a lot of these are just assumptions but.. yeah 😂

also you said your bias is seungmin. why do you bias him? has he been your bias from the very beginning? do you have any other biases in skz?
