Can you tell me about Help! My Alpha is the Ghost Whisperer?
😂 This is definitely a far more amusing working title than the moody, mysterious atmosphere of the fic suggests. It was a Reverse Bang fic that @theisolatedlily and I paired up on and then decided to table until we were ready to write it. Here’s her awesome moodboard! The original premise was her idea too that we’ve worked together into what I’ll share below!
Tumblr media
It’s a small-town ABO supernatural murder mystery where Alpha!Harry comes from a cursed bloodline where he sees ghosts and has to help them cross over. Whoever he mates with will end up sharing his curse. An anti-social outcast because of his abilities, he’s always very careful. But after a one-night stand with Louis, a city-boy omega new to town looking for a chance to lie low, Louis wakes up freaking the eff out because there’s a bloody ghost in the room. A shocked Harry is super confused, because he swears he didn’t bite or mate with Louis. So what the hell is going on?!
Meanwhile, there’s a murderer in town. Already too close to the crime for comfort, Harry, Louis (begrudgingly) and the ghost of the victim--some alpha bloke named Zayn who insists on only communicating with Louis--have to discover the culprit before the murderer finds them.
Interested in knowing more about any of my current WIPs? Feel free to send an ask!

“Hey, Y/N.” Chan smiles, opening the door to the dorm for you.
“Hi Channie.” You smile, stepping inside, only to be greeted by Hyunjin and Felix, who were in the living room. You give them a smile and a wave as you continue onto the kitchen where you hear the voices of the other boys, almost whispering so you can't hear them.
“She's here.” Han says as he pans the camera he's holding towards you. “Smile for me, Y/N.” He tells you, walking closer to you with the camera.
You give him a small smile, waving to the camera as you hear Lee Know and Changbin telling Seungmin “you've got this.” while patting his back.
“What's going on over there?” You laugh, motioning towards them. Han shrugs his shoulders, which is weird because he always knows what's going on.
“Y/N.” Seungmin smiles while walking towards you. “Can I talk to you for a minute?” He asks. You tuck a strand of hair behind your ear, as you walk towards him now, following him to the corner of the kitchen. He glances back at the two guys, taking a deep breath.
Your heart was racing and pounding as you looked at him. If you were being honest, you had had the biggest crush on Seungmin for months, and you were sure they all knew about it, and you assumed they put him up to this to get you to blush or something.
“What's up?” You ask, twiddling your fingers. Your nerves were beginning to get the best of you and you weren't sure how to calm yourself down.
“Um, so I was just wondering, if you'd wanna…like you know, go out with me sometime?” He asks.
“Like on a date?” You whisper. You honestly were shocked. This wasn't something you had seen coming. At all. Seungmin had never expressed an interest in being more than friends before now.
“Yes, like a date.” He says. His smile is fading as he eyes dart over to the guys who are just standing around the kitchen waiting to hear your answer. It felt a bit odd that Han was still filming this and that they were all just watching the two of you.
You look back at Seungmin, who seems to be getting a little more frustrated the longer you take. “Um, yes.” You smile. You wanted to ask him where this came from, but if you were being honest you didn't want to know and figured that maybe with you being around so much he probably just developed feelings.
“Awesome.” He says, nodding his head, walking away. He stops abruptly, turning around to face you. “I'll text you.” He says, walking back to the group of guys. You walk out of the kitchen and back to the living room, where Chan, Felix and Hyunjin are sitting watching a movie.
“What happened in the kitchen?” Chan asks, eyes darting between you and the screen.
“Well, um.” You chuckle. “Seungmin asked me out.” You grin. Your stomach fills with butterflies just at the thought of him.
“He did?” Chan asks, pausing the movie. Without saying a word, he walks into the kitchen, yelling at them, saying things unfortunately you couldn't hear. “It better fucking not be.” He snaps, walking back into the living room. “Sorry about that.” He sighs, resuming the movie.
“I'm sorry, can I ask what that was about?” You wonder.
“Ah nothing. Just some stuff about work tomorrow.” He says, shrugging it off. You had decided not to push it anymore, you knew what Chan was like and you didn't want to ever step with him. He was the whole reason you were even friends with the entire group.
You and Chan had met when you were a trainee, and then when you were inevitably cut, he insisted that the two of you remain friends. You happily accepted, and when the group formed, you were introduced immediately and became close to most of them. Lee Know, Seungmin and Jeongin had always been a little standoffish. They accepted you and were nice enough but you never formed a connection with them like you had with Felix, Hyunjin, Changbin, Han and Chan. Those five were your very best friends and you'd absolutely be lost without them.
“Okay.” You smile, getting comfy to continue watching the movie.
Later that night when you went home, you got a text from Seungmin.
[From: +82-362-2729 11:36pm] Hey, it's Seungmin. Do you want to go for dinner tomorrow?
[To: +82-362-2729 11:38pm] I'd love to. Let me know what time and where, I'll meet you there!
[From: Seungmin 11:40pm] I'll pick you up at 7. Be ready.
You set your phone down on your night stand, your stomach filling with butterflies as you think about your date tomorrow night. You were nervous but so excited. You really hoped it all went well.
The next morning you woke up, muddled around your apartment for a while, ran some errands and before you knew it, it was time to get ready. You started with your makeup, taking your time to make sure it was all perfect before moving onto your hair and then your outfit.
You decided on a cute black dress that wasn't too sexy but showed off enough, pairing it with a pair of black shoes. You looked at yourself in the mirror, taking one final look, until you heard knocking on your door. You take a deep breath, grabbing your purse before pulling the door open. The moment Seungmin saw you, his face went from upset to surprised.
“Wow, Y/N… you look…wow.” He says, making you blush.
“Thank you.” You smile. “You look so handsome as well.”
You close your door, locking it before heading for Seungmin's car. The entire drive to the restaurant was filled with the two of you talking about a lot of things. As it turns out you both have a lot more in common than you thought you would have. The conversation never slows down, not through drinks, not through dinner or desert. The two of you continue talking as you take a little stroll down by the river, laughing, joking and just having a truly fantastic time.
Seungmin brings you to your door, smiling widely. “I had a really great time tonight.”
“So did I.” You grin. “Thank you for everything.”
“It was my pleasure.” He says, his face inching closer to yours, slowly. “I'd like to take you out again? Maybe tomorrow night?” He whispers, his lips hovering across from yours. You can't breathe. You can't speak. All you can do is nod your head yes. He smirks as he presses his lips to yours. You immediately melt into the kiss, he places his hands on your waist, pulling you in closer. You wrap your arms around his neck as he deepens the kiss, and you fucking want more. You'd love nothing more than to pull him into your apartment by his collar and let him have his way with you. But you don't. Because that's second date stuff.
You both pull away from each other, removing your hands from each other's bodies. “I'll talk to you tomorrow.” He whispers. He leans in, planting one more kiss on your lips before turning to walk away to his car. You go inside, grinning from ear to ear like a maniac as you get ready for bed. You were so happy and that was only the first date. You couldn't wait to see what was going to happen on the second date. As you get your PJ'S on, your phone dings. You were really hoping it was from Seungmin, but when you looked, it was from a number you didn't recognize.
[From: +82-202-4740 10:42pm] You shouldn't trust Seungmin. Be careful.

decided it's about time to redo my character refs (and also make an actual character lineup sob) so I'm gonna post those and also ramble about my guys just a bit! cause I've been wanting to actually talk about my ocs here for a while :D
honestly feels kinda weird to not start with Ophelia but Jinny's who I wanted to draw today so :Pc
some more in depth info about my favorite ghost girl under the cut!!!!
Jinny's entire life (afterlife?) has been made up of self sacrifice after self sacrifice after self sacrifice. if you asked how she feels about this, she'd grin and say she's happy to help everyone!!! all the time!!!! no matter what!!!!!! don't worry about me why are you worried about me!!!!!!!!!
when Jinny arrived in the underworld, she was immediately slotted into the caretaker role that would define her for so long. she lives at a little ghost orphanage and takes care of her younger siblings there. she's a little bitter she was forced into this role, but if she doesn't take care of the kids then who will?
one of Jinny's biggest grand plans for taking care of everyone is to become a super duper awesome knight!!!! she's pretty convinced that being a knight will fix everyone's problems forever. too bad this dream doesn't seem very likely given how she's constantly underestimated and oversimplified. :(
but that doesn't bother Jinny — that just means it'll be even cooler when she proves everyone wrong!!!!
(oh also transparent Jinny. as a treat :3)

。𖦹 : I loved this a bit too much.. / mentions of crashing, DC!AU, swearing, NSFW at Seungmin's part lmk if I missed something :]
Word count : ???
Tumblr media
. B.C
He would definitely hang out with batman. I stand with that.
They would get along so well.. until Channie crashes the batmobile T_T
Definitely the type to wear bats his costume and then say it stinks due to batman his sweat.
"Do you even wash this thing..?"
Bruce will be so fed up, but hey, he raised so many kids. He can withstand it all.
Will definitely talk about how raising kids is hard .
Chan will also steal batman his gadgets, and one of them ends up almost exploding ! ×o×.
. L.MH
Catwoman. (Act surprised)
He will ask if she's an actual cat and he will be disappointed when she says that she's an human being like him.
"Why are you called catwoman if you aren't even a cat?"
Selina will teach leeKnow how to steal, and he will be so proud after he robbed someone until he realizes that he literally robbed someone and gave them a trauma.
Selina is not surprised when he mentions that he has 3 cats himself and even shows pictures and shit.
Definitely hang out a lot in cat cafés
. S.C
Surprise, surprise...superman! Who could've known. ^^
Binnie will definitely ask for his workout routine.
Clark is honestly impressed by Binnie his body. (Slightly jealous aswell)
Bin offers Clark a protein shake and he loves it (he doesn't but he can't make binnie sad)
"You are so strong, holy fuck. I don't know if I want to be with you or be you"
Definitely go to the gym together and impress everyone.
Shy binnie gets flustered when Clark gives him compliments about his body or him in general. ּ ֶָ֢.
. H.H
I have multiple for jinnie so let's talk about them!! ; poison ivy, batgirl, katana, starfire or raven :>
I think I'm going to talk about raven for now!
He will be so fascinated about her and will truly listen to her.
Raven will be so grateful that he is quiet and not loud af (even tho he can be loud at times)
They understand each other, and they both appreciate it.
I can see hyunjin painting raven when she is meditating, yun trying to paint very slowly until he drops his paintbrush on accident >_<.
He will be so sorry while raven comforts him, saying it's okay (he feels so guilty)
"I'm so sorry! I'm okay with buying lunch for us? I insist!"
. H.J
the flash [:
Now listen, they really share the same braincell. (And humor).
I bet han doesn't believe he's the fastest human alive and asks him to get stuff from other countries .
"If you're so fast..get me a water bottle from America!"
"Okay.. I believe you..for now"
Barry and Han hang out a lot (trust), they go literally everywhere Han hasn't been. (Certain countries, etc).
They game. A lot. With so many snacks from different places (Han's idea).
Finds it interesting how Han can sleep everywhere and even does research about him.
L.YB
I think he would also hangout with the flash or starfire !!
The flash and Felix would definitely match eachothers energy but I think barry fitted better with hannie!
Felix screams starfire vibes.
Star would ask so much about Felix and how he lives, etc.
Felix? He would do the exact same .
They would spend the day shopping and doing girl things idc they deff would.
Felix would show star things he likes to do and she copies him!
"So you have laser eyes? fucking awesome?!"
Best friends, maybe even family :>
K.SM
I'm lowkey biased with this but..JASON FUCKING TODD.
SKIP IF UNCOMFORTABLE
Imagine AK!Jason and seungmin just degrading you like you are their little toy >< you are their hole for them to use!
Doggy lovers at it's finest.
MANHANDLING I REPEAT MANHANDLING.!!!
Aftercare is so sweet, they shower you with so much kisses and praise.
"You took us so well, hm? " FUCK.
SFW
Definitely go on a killing spree for fun.
They act like THOSE teenage boys you see at the mall yk.
They are so sweet behind the scenes tho.
Jason Definitely teaches seungmin about fighting and stuff .
. Y.J
Robin or nightwing :>
Dick will show I.N all the flaws of becoming a superhero and will even show him the batcave if he wants to!!
Best buddies, and you can't convince me not.
they fight crime together, like real brothers :)
"Im so bad at this nightwing"
"You'll get it, don't worry Jeongin."
BROTHERS4LIFE, AND YOU CANNOT TAKE THAT AWAY FROM ME

my very biased favoirtes (tm)
kingkiller chronicle baby!! ive been obsessed with this series for half my life now and ive written essays on it for fun. it is deeply special to me.
the tortall books esp the song of the lioness was one of the first books i read on my own that my mom hadnt read. these are my ultimate comfort books and influence the fantasy i read after.
graceling realms by kristin cashore (well the first three at least) is a series i can read over and over. i love the magic system and how it's tied to themes. the main characters are complicated and dynamic, the romances are beautiful .. . absolutely amazing.
the gilded wolves by roshani chokshi is a puzzle book, a historical fantasy. there is a big emphasis on found family, addresses racism and colonialism within europe (esp the upper class), and it is all very cleverly constructed.
legendborn by tracy deonn is worth all the hype is is getting and I hope people continue recognizing its awesomeness. the only book in king arthur canon im attached to. its about grief, it's about legacy, it's about institutional racism, its about parents and children. read for a strong emotional journey, complicated characters, and difficult conversations about king arthur and the united states
in other lands by sarah rees brennan which tbh i read back when it was being published online. perfect for those who love snarky protagonists, commentary on the fantasy genre, you gotta try this book!
the poppy war by rf kuang is one of the few trilogies i have finished in the past few year. its absolutely heart-wrenching. starts as a magic school book, then turns into a magic war book. please look up the trigger warnings beforehand. perfect for those who love epic fantasies tied to historical events.
piranesi by susanna clarke is the strangest book I've read. its not like anything else I've read. you should absolutely try it.
strange the dreamer by laini taylor is beautifully written, clever, and full of amazing themes. i love these characters and worlds and it's very lovely and intense.
elatsoe by darcie little badger is a modern day fantasy and i cannot recommend it enough, it's so clever and kind and theres ghost dogs????
little thieves by margaret owen- my new beloved. this book was written for me, even if the author doesnt know it. sequel comes out in only a few days, perfect time to read it!!
Honorable mentions:
sunshine by robin mckinley- i love robin mckinley's books although this is not my favorite, its a fantastic take on vampires
the bone witch by rin chupeco- amazing world building and beautiful writing, im way overdue to finish the series
nettle and bone by t. kingfisher- a dark, creepy fairy tale feel that has me wanting more from the author
an ember in the ashes by sabaa tahir- another series i absolutely need to finish, has some really interesting morally gray characters.
wayward children by seanan mcguire- these books are so satisfying and i am absolutely the target audience for this series. we love deconstructed portal fantasies
girls made of snow and glass by melissa bashardoust- i will read all fairy tale retellings but this one i bought after because i needed this fantastic version of snow white
the sandsea trilogy by chelsea abdullah- only the first one is out but i am so invested to see where this reimagining of a thousand and one nights goes!
his dark materials by phillip pullman- a classic. your soul is your animal companion. need i say more?
the golem and the jinni by helene wecker- a very recent read but i will be shoving this into peoples hands now. historical fantasy isnt always my jam but when it works, it works.

A Piece Of My heART (H.H)
Warnings: none! Pure, tooth-rotting fluff!
Word Count: 3261 (holy crap, I didn't intend for it to be this long but oh well!)
Let Me Know What You Think!
Tumblr media
“We totally need to get together sometime soon, I miss you so much!” your friend Aly says over the phone.
You chuckle as walk up to the door to your friends’ dorm room, knocking on the door.
“I miss you too! Is there anytime you’re available soon?” You ask her as the dorm door opens. You’re met by a smiling Jisung on the other side as he dramatically bows, gesturing you in. You laugh at his antics, whispering to him “Hey Jisung” as you walk in.
“Yeah I’m free next week! And did you just say Jisung?!” Your friend asks and you can’t help but chuckle.
“Oh awesome! And yeah I did, I’m over to visit Jinnie for a movie night. Why do you ask though?” You ask, already knowing her answer.
“Because he is so fine. I swear I would risk it all for him. You gotta set us up girl!” She says and you laugh.
“Aly you kill me” you tell her laughing as you notice a slight blush appearing on Jisung’s cheeks at the mention of your friends’ name.
“First of all, offensive. Second of all, can you blame me?!” She says over the phone.
“No I can’t. I suppose I’ll see what I can do” you tell her as you slip your shoes off. “So what are you thinking for next week?” You ask as you sit down on the couch in the living room, Jisung joining you.
You fail to notice Hyunjin starting to walk into the living room behind you due to the phone call. He smiles seeing you, excited to finally get to hang out with you again.
“How about sushi and the art museum? We haven’t been in ages” your friend suggests.
“Oooo! Sushi and the art museum? Now you’re speaking my love language! I mean, throw in coffee and a bookstore visit and I’m putty in your hands” you joke with her.
Hyunjin’s ears perk up at this. He knew you enjoyed those things as well, it’s part of why you two got along so well. But enjoying them so much that you considered it part of your love language? He didn’t realize just how much you loved the things that meant so much to him as well. He swears in that moment the crush he’s been harboring on you for a while now deepened and he knew he needed to figure out a way to ask you out.
He walks around the couch to sit by you as you finish up your phone call and begin to talk to Jisung. He smiles as you subconsciously lean against him while talking, putting his arm on the couch behind you.
“How’s Aly doing?” Jisung blushes slightly, asking you about your friend.
“She’s good! She was asking about you!” You tell him, watching his blush deepen slightly.
“She was? That’s nice! I’d love to hang out with her again sometime” he tells you, getting flustered.
“She’d love that! I’ll have to let her know!” You smile before turning to look at Hyunjin, still leaning on him. “Hi there” you say, smiling up at him.
“Hi there” he smiles, moving his arm to rest around your shoulders instead.
“And that’s my queue, catch you guys later!” Jisung says, leaving you two alone, causing you to look at him slightly confused.
“What’s with him?” You laugh, looking back to Hyunjin.
“It’s Jisung, many things are up with him” he says laughing, knowing full well that Jisung was aware of his feelings for you and always insisted that you liked him as well.
Hyunjin just had a hard time believing him, especially with being so guarded when it came to love despite being such a romantic. But he couldn’t keep his feelings to himself anymore, you were worth the risk. You two had such a strong connection and you understood him and his views better than anyone. If he was going to make that jump with anyone, it made sense it would be you. His best friend, and, as he’d recently began to realize, his possible soulmate.
“You know what, that’s fair” you laugh as you get a little more comfortable. “So movie night?” You ask him, smiling.
“Of course! But! Not without snacks” he smiles, standing and holding his hand out to help you up so you can help him in the kitchen.
“Oh obviously” you say with a giggle as you take his hand as he helps you up, leading you to the kitchen. “Popcorn and candy?” You ask him as you starting getting a bowl out.
“Whatever you want” he smiles at you, reaching for a bag of popcorn and putting it in the microwave.
“Whatever I want huh? That’s a lot of power in my hands” You joke as you sit on the counter with the bowl, swinging your legs.
“Well you deserve the best. Just don’t abuse the power” he says, watching you with a teasing smirk.
“I can’t make any promises there” you tease with a matching smirk. Watching you sitting there, tucking your hair behind you ear smiling at him like he’s the only person in the world, he has an idea for how to ask you out.
While he’s getting your favorite candy he keep a stash of out of the cabinets, he takes out his phone and places an order online quickly before putting it back away so he can focus on you.
He gets the popcorn out and moves to stand between your legs, pouring the popcorn into the bowl in your hands. He looks up as he finishes pouring it, meeting your eyes that are already looking at his face. It takes everything in him not to reach out and cup your beautiful face like he wants to. “Ready?” He asks quietly, not wanting to break the moment.
“Yeah, I’m ready” you whisper back, flushing a little. You’d gotten so distracted watching him that he startled you when he looked up, catching you. You couldn’t help it really, his tall, lean frame, long blonde hair, his gorgeous hands, and of course his perfectly beautiful face.
You’d fallen for him very quickly after you met, the both of you having much in common when it came to interests and how you viewed the world around you. You both had found it refreshing to find someone who viewed it the same way and clicked instantly, as though you’d known each other all your life and were meant I find each other.
You desperately wanted more than this friendship you had with him. You wanted to be able to cuddle him, kiss him, hold his hand, and just love him as he deserved. But, you knew how he was when it came to love, and you knew that if anything was going to happen between you two, it had to be his decision. Still, a part of you couldn’t help but wish that he could someone understand all of your feelings for him as he held your gaze. You swear you saw a hint of love and longing in his eyes, but it was fine before you could be sure.
“Lets go then” he says, carefully helping you down and guiding you back to the couch, keeping his hand on your lower back the whole time. His touch warmed you and It took all your strength not to shiver at it.
He sets everything down and sits, getting comfortable and queues up the movie as you sit beside him, leaning against his side. He reaches for a blanket and covers you both with it before placing his arm behind you. You can’t help but flush a little, but discreetly lean into him more.
The movie wraps up a little while later, the both of you laughing and making comments along the way. And of course you noticed how he kept watching you the whole time. Every time you’d turn to say something to him, you’d find him already looking at you.
“That was a really good movie!” You tell him, looking up at him from where your head rests on his shoulder.
“It was! And this was nice, I’ve missed this” he tells you, glancing down at you.
“I have too” You blush a little, looking down slightly to try to hide it from him.
He reaches over with his free hand to tuck a piece of your hair behind your ear, causing you to look up at him. “Can I talk to you about something?” He asks you quietly.
“Of course, you always can Jinnie, you know that” you tell him as you look up at him, taking his hand.
He sighs lightly as he nods, gathering his thoughts.
“I know. This is just, a little bit of uncharted territory for me. But I’ve been thinking a lot lately. About, us.” He tells you, never taking his eyes off yours.
“Us?” You ask, feeling a little nervous.
“Yeah, us. You, you mean a lot to me, and I’ve been thinking recently just how much you do. I haven’t met anyone who understands me the way that you do, and I feel truly seen when I’m with you. What I’m trying to say is-“ he cuts himself off as there’s a knock at the door.
You look at the door then back to him in confusion. He chuckles at you before saying “just on time. I think this will help clear things up. Can you get that?” He asks you.
“Uhhh yeah, sure” you say, still confused where he’s going with this and why whatever is at the door is pertinent to his point. But you get up nonetheless and move to the door.
You open it and find no one standing there, but instead, a bouquet of beautiful flowers. Sunflowers mixed with roses and alstroemerias to be exact, your favorites. Because of course Hyunjin would remember that.
You chuckle with a small smile as you reach to grab them, noticing a small note attached as you shut the door. You grab the card to see what it says. The small card reads “Roses are red, violets are blue, can we go on a date, because I really love you”.
You were so distracted by the flowers and card, that you hadn’t heard Hyunjin stand up or walk over, so you jump slightly as you feel him put his arms around you from behind, engulfing you in a back hug, pulling you close to him. You relax into him, turning to look at him where his head rests on your shoulder.
“You love me?” You ask, heart soaring at the hope that he may actually love you as much as you have loved him all this time.
“Yeah,” he smiles, looking down at you. “I do love you. And I’d really like to take you out, as your boyfriend. What do you say?” He asks quietly, not taking his eyes off of yours.
You smile harder than you ever have before, reaching up to play with his hair as he holds you in his arms “I say it’s a date” you tell him before kissing his cheek.
Tumblr media
As promised, Hyunjin picks you up the next morning for your date. He refused to tell you where all he was taking you, only promising that you would love what he had planned for the two of you. You don’t fail to notice his camera bag in the backseat, so you know whatever he has planned will be good if he brought it with him.
You talk and laugh the whole drive, and you can’t help but smile when he parks the car, realizing where he’s brought you.
“Sake?!” You ask turning to him excitedly, realizing he’s brought you to your favorite sushi restaurant.
“Sure is! Figured we’d get some food to fuel us before the rest of the day and I know it’s your favorite” he says, smiling back at you.
“You know me so well” you gasp lightly, putting one hand over your heart dramatically.
Hyunjin laughs at your antics, knowing he’d do the same. Just another reason he loves you.
“I do, how weird!” He gasps back, playing along with you. “Now come on, I’m starving” he says, getting out of the car and coming around to help you out.
After eating your fill of sushi, you get back into the car and he starts driving to another location.
“Where are we going now?” You ask in excitement, giving puppy eyes in hopes he’ll spill the secret.
“I can’t tell you, it’s a surprise! But we’re almost there!” He says laughing as he sees you pout from the corner of his eye. “And that’s not working on me this time” he says.
“It usually does” you quietly mutter to yourself. He laughs hearing you but chooses to let it go for now.
A couple minutes later, you start to recognize the area and you gasp in excitement as you start pulling up to a familiar building.
“The art museum?!” You ask, pure joy on your face as he parks and looks at you.
“No the zoo!” He laughs “yes the art museum you goof!” He jokes, messing your hair up as he ruffles it lightly.
“I haven’t been in so long!” You say bouncing in excitement as you realize something. “Oh my god, you totally overheard my conversation with Aly didn’t you?” You say, realizing he’s taking you to the places you mentioned on the phone with your friend.
“Guilty” he laughs as he gets out of the car, coming to help you out and then grab his camera bag. “To be fair though, you know I love all of those things as well and it felt like too perfect of an opportunity to miss out on” he says as he takes his camera out and loops it over his neck before taking your hand, leading you to the museum.
“Okay I can’t blame you there” you giggle as you lean into him while holding his hand.
Once you guys pay and get your maps, you set off downstairs together to start with the older art first. You slowly move from gallery to gallery together, pausing to talk about some of the pieces.
Every so often, on the couple of times you happen to wander slightly ahead of him to look at a piece, you hear the the soft click of his camera. You can’t help but smile to yourself, knowing he’s sneaking pictures of you admiring the art.
Once you’ve finished walking through the first floor together, you move up to the second. As you’re walking ahead of him up the stairs, you hear another click of his camera. You laugh and turn to him, a look of slight confusion on your face.
“I’m just walking up the stairs?” You say questioningly to him.
“Yeah, but look at this” he says, a soft smile on his face as he pulls up the picture on the screen to show you. You can’t help back let out a tiny gasp as you see it. The lighting and angle of the picture he’s taken of you is breathtaking, he’s managed to make it seem like you’re floating up the stairs.
“Oh that’s stunning” you say, looking back at him.
“No, you’re stunning. The picture wouldn’t be as good if you weren’t” he says, taking your hand and leading you into the next gallery. He sees the deep blush on your face but chooses not to mention it.
As you’re walking through the second floor, you still occasionally hear his camera go off as he snaps pictures of some of the pieces in the galleries and of you. While you’re looking at one piece, you can help but giggle as Hyunjin comes shuffling over, excitement clear on his face.
“Come with me, I have to show you something!” He says, taking your hand and pulling you with him to a piece just ahead.
“Okay okay!” You giggle as you both come to a stop. “Oh wow, this is beautiful” you say as you look at the piece he’s brought you to with him, resting your head on his shoulder. The piece is a Claude Monet, a beautiful landscape painting called “Water Lillies”.
“It is, I know you love paintings like this too and I just had to show you” he says, blushing a little over how excitable he got.
“Thank you, it’s beautiful” you whisper, looking up at him softly. He looks down and he’s taken aback at how beautiful you look, love and adoration in your eyes as you look at him. He reaches up, gently cupping your face as he looks at you.
“Can I kiss you?” He whispers, rubbing his thumb along your cheek.
“Yes” you whisper back as he leans down, gently connecting your lips with his. You reach your free hand to tangle in the hair at the nape of his neck, just holding him as he gently kisses you. You hum into the kiss, feeling the love for you that he’s putting into it. Shortly after you break apart, still close to each other.
“I love you Hyunjin” you whisper, moving a stray blonde lock out of his face.
“I love you too. You’ve stole my heart” he smiles at you as he starts leading you through the rest of the gallery.
“Oh well I’ll be rich, that’s pretty valuable you know?” You joke, causing him to roll his eyes at your antics.
“As long as you don’t lose it” he tells you as you walk out of the museum together.
“Hmmm I think I can do that” you say as you reach up to kiss his cheek. “Soooo coffee and the bookstore?” You ask as you both get back into his car, knowing those were the other things you had mentioned you love on the phone to your friend.
“Hmmmm I suppose we can, but on one condition” he says, looking over at you.
“What’s that? More kisses? “ you say laughing.
He rolls his eyes at you before responding. “Okay, two conditions. One, yes more kisses. But two, our next date has to be a double date with Jisung and Aly. I think I’ll go crazy if I have to keep hearing him talk about how much he wants to go out with her but that he’s too nervous to ask her” he says, a tone of mock exaggeration in his voice as he starts the car. “If you can do that I’ll buy you all the coffee and books you want today” he says.
“Oh deal, Aly is always asking about him and wants to go out with him so that’ll be perfect. And I get books and coffee for that? Win win for me! You do realize I would’ve said yes to another date with my boyfriend without you setting it as a condition though right?” you laugh at him.
“Oh well in that case, we can just go home then, no need to go to the bookstore if you’ll go out with me again anyway” he says with a smirk.
“No no no! We totally do! You’re so smart for thinking to ask me on another date and for more kisses that way babe! I love you!” You say quickly, knowing he likely wouldn’t turn around, but not willing to take your chances. With Hyunjin you could never be too sure.
“I love you too, you little heart stealer” he says, smiling at you fondly. He had definitely found his soulmate.

Mid-year recalibration
It's been a year since Festa Dinner 2022. A LOT HAS HAPPENED SINCE THEN.
And on January 1, 2023, I posted my "predictions" for the year. "Predictions" in quotes because most everything I write is sort of slightly unserious, not to be taken TOO seriously, begs for you to please use your common sense... also I haz a little sarcasm dripping here and there when I express my thoughts. Drip, drip.
Tumblr media
So let's see the status of my "predictions":
Solo albums... wellll, I sort of got that right, Jimin's FACE was released before Yoongi's D-Day. We're still waiting for Tae and Jungkook. RM keeps putting off enlistment to work on new music. I'm gonna have to drag him by the ear to training camp... get yer ass in there so you can come back sooner than later!! But we did get to see him for Festa and I'm thankful for that.
New prediction: Jungkook comes through with a chart topper that doesn't involve a collab.
Speaking of Tae, I said he'd do more acting before music and though it's not really acting, he's been in a few reality TV shows: "In the Soop: Friendcation" and "Jinny's Kitchen." There are rumors he was spotted on the set of a K-drama and now possibly he was in Spain for a movie...or was that for an upcoming solo MV? Surely he'll have at least a little bit of music before he enlists? Honestly, I wouldn't mind seeing him actually acting in a drama... we wait.
New prediction: Piano bar listening party for his solo release.
Tumblr media
Military enlistment... wow so far I've struck out. Joon is still hanging around. Yoongi has extended his world tour (which I'm happy to say I've been to a concert). And HOBI IS ALREADY ENLISTED....
😭
So 3 strikes I'm out because obviously their enlistment timing is unpredictable. Right now I'm just hoping that by May 2024 (yes almost a year from now) they'll all be in so we can have a New Year group reunion on Dec. 31, 2025. Of course, I hope they go much sooner though it kills me to know we have to watch them enlist again and again.
My other predictions were hit and miss:
Yoongi did cut his hair so I was wrong about that. Also sad. I loved his long hair. And this NBA ambassadorship came outta left field. The D-Day world tour was the bomb he dropped on us, his big project. Oh well, guess there won't be any tangerine soju coming from his non-existent citrus orchards. Ha!
Hobi DID release more music, On the Street, and it WAS a collab with J. Cole. AND he became fashion ambassador for his fave: Louis Vuitton. God I miss him so much. Instagram is so quiet without him. Everything is so quiet without him.
We finally got PJM1 and it has a name now, FACE and Like Crazy has broken records. Jimin as an artist has broken records as we knew he would and he is still making music. And he's travelling the world being a Dior and Tiffany ambassador and snatching everyone's wig, eating everyone alive and just being Jimin. His constant happy smile has been the most meaningful thing to me this year. I'm so thrilled he is happy.
Tumblr media
Jungkook... the Bunkoo has stumped me. The Calvin Klein contract is amazing. His spontaneous lives have been wonderful. Cooking for us has been awesome. None of that could have been predicted. He's the sweetest king of spoilers and support for Jimin's stuff. I also did not predict I would love him even more this year. But here we are.
NOT ON THE PREDICTION RADAR WHATSOEVER:
Jimin on a Fast & Furious franchise soundtrack collab. I NEED MORE JIMIN!
Tumblr media
Tae and Jennie "soft" revealing their relationship publicly. Like WHAT? But they did that.
Also blonde Tae... I never thought we'd see a blonde Tannie again.
Tumblr media
Attending a Suga/Agust D concert and meeting up with Army friends I met on the internet. HIGHLIGHT OF THE YEAR!
Tumblr media
[I can't believe I saw Yoongi in real life. This close.]
2023 is already half way over. I have no idea what will happen this second half of 2023. It's a mystery.
As much as I am reveling in having so much to look forward to every day and every week, and as much as I wish this didn't have to happen...I (selfishly) really want them to get enlisted so they can be back together as soon as possible in 2025 (at any point in 2025). The first time I see them together in 2025, I am going to cry with relief. However I am always the first to say BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR so I know I shouldn't even been saying any of that...
Anyway...
I guess at the end of December, I will be looking back and saying "well, who would have thought THAT would happen?" More of "not on the prediction radar." By December, Jin will only have six months left. Time is flying faster than I thought it would when back on June 13, 2022. After that heartbreaking Festa dinner, we were staring down a bleak two and a half years of being Bangtan-less....well that didn't happen did it?

okay i have a question for the pack, bear with me-
what do everyone's beds look like? now hear me out, i know this probably sounds silly but i have good questions!
what kind of bed do the omegas have? a king? custom made to be really big? since they all sleep together, do they sleep squished or hsve enough space to not have to cuddle all the time?
also, do they have lots of teddies and pillows and blankets, on the bed? if so who has the most?
it's the same questions for the other members of the pack, what type of bed, how is it when it comes to multiple people sleeping in the bed? what extra things do they usually keep on their bed -if they do- like teddies or extra pillows?
here's an additional question: who has the most teddies out of all the members? my guess is felix or jisung!
Tumblr media
"I love this question." You say genuinely, glancing around at your pack mates. "Because I really think someone's room can tell you so much about who they are as a person."
"Absolutely." Chan nods in agreement. "My studio space tells a lot about who I am as a producer, and it's the same with my room, although it's more personal."
"So." You grin. "Get ready to learn a whole lot about us that you probably didn't need to know."
"Let's get it." Jisung claps his hands and rubs his palms together, voice excited, expression determined.
Chan glances to Jeongin. "Let's start with the omegas' room, yeah? Cause you guys share with the most members."
"Okay!" Felix agrees excitedly, and Jeongin grins wide, his eyes crinkling.
Both the omegas look to Hyunjin, who takes it as his sign to start them off.
"We have a king bed. It's the biggest bed in the house currently cause, you know." He shrugs with a smile. "Three of us."
"Gives us enough space to spread out if we want or need, but we usually sleep cuddled up anyway in the middle, so it's not utilized probably as often as it could be." Felix laughs.
"Hey, it's nice when we all gather for a cuddle pile or movie night though." You point out, and the omegas nod. "We always use your room as a central gathering point if we don't wanna come to the living room."
"Basically, the bed is just a free for all?" Jeongin muses, looking thoughtful. "We don't like split it into three sections or anything. Everyone can just kinda input and put their stuff wherever."
"Jinnie-hyung picked out most of our decor and bedding and stuff." Felix continues, nodding now. "Because he loves decorating and he's awesome at it."
"Not like you can see the bedspread anyway." Hyunjin snorts in amusement. "The bed is always piled so high with blankets and stuffies and pillows that I don't know why I even bothered."
"Felix does indeed have the most stuffies."
Felix raises his hand shyly and everyone coos at how cute he is.
Hyunjin continues. "As far as personal space, we have our own dressers and share the big walk in closet equally. Everybody kinda has their own space in their own corner of the room, the bed is the only central part with everyone's shit really."
"We do however," Felix points out. "Keep a tote of used clothes from all the other pack mates in the back of our closet, easily accessible, in case one of us feels the need to nest and the blankets and stuffies aren't getting the job done."
"Oh yeah." Jeongin nods. "That's come in handy a few times."
"Jinnie-hyung's dresser is just overflowing with miscellaneous art stuff and skin and hair products. Plus all of his perfumes."
"Lixie-hyung's is covered in more stuffies, and some cute little statues the other member's of the pack have brought him from various trips. He also can't even use his mirror because there's pictures of all of us literally plastered all over it."
"Cute." You hear Chan say under his breath beside you.
"And mine," Jeongin thinks for a minute. "Mine is just a catch all for any shit I don't know what to do with-stray papers, accessories, stuff like that."
"It's a nightmare." Hyunjin shudders, and Felix chuckles.
"You guys have a really nice ambiance in your room though." You add, glancing between the omegas. "Like you always have a candle lit and soft mood lighting and the little canopy over the bed with the twinkle lights."
"Yeah, it's cozy." Jisung nods.
"Speaking of," Chan motions to the beta now. "Why don't you and Minnie go next, Sung?"
Jisung claps his hands and grins. "Cool. Beta Bros. Let's go."
Seungmin rolls his eyes.
"We have a queen bed, which is also what all the alphas' have in their rooms too. Basically gives us enough space for visitors and each other without feeling squished."
"Our room is dark, modern, sleek." Seungmin adds, and Jisung nods his head in agreement. "I don't like a lot of clutter, so the decor we do have is limited and purposeful."
"Yep." Jisung agrees again, before grinning. "Though my half of the room-"
Seungmin shakes his head in horror. "It's a pigsty. I can't even look at it."
"It's not that bad."
"It really is."
"We have a lot of books, because Seungmin is a nerd, and I love anime and comics." Jisung continues, ignoring the other beta now, even as he rolls his eyes once more. "Channie-hyung and Binnie-hyung built us modern, custom bookshelves a few years ago that line pretty much all the walls."
"We also have a lot of recessed lighting above the bed so that we can read at night without straining our eyes."
"Ooh, ooh!" Jisung gets excited again. "We also have snacks in the night stands, just in case, and I have a giant bean bag chair filled with soft cozy blankets and my KAWS stuffed animal collection. Perfect reading nook."
"And of course-" Jisung looks smug now. "We've got those cool remote controlled LED lights all along the ceiling that match to music and can be changed to any color. Usually red." He winks at Seungmin, who flips him off.
"I'll go next." You offer, once it's clear the betas' are done, and everyone looks to you. You shrug. "I don't know if I have a clear style really, but my bedroom is very minimalistic. I have some reading shelves and a desk area and it's all light natural woods and calming colors. I don't really keep anything on my bed, besides a few throw pillows and an extra blanket at the foot. The only thing I really collect is house plants, I have a bunch hanging from a corner of the ceiling, right above the desk, and a bunch in the bathroom and last year, the boys gave me a little plant shelf to sit in front of my big window, and I've slowly been filling that up too."
"Incense." Chan points out, glancing at you, and you nod.
"Oh yeah. I really like smells? So I burn incense quite a bit for different occasions and have a bunch of candles all over for different moods."
"Tell them about the wall above your desk." Jisung says gleefully, and you sigh, already feeling yourself blush.
"God, but it's embarrassing."
"It's cute." Chan reassures you, reaching out to cover your hand with his own.
"Fine." You sigh and roll your eyes. "The wall above my desk is covered in a kind of wallpaper that I designed myself. It has all of the members' scents listed out in their individual, complex chemical compounds in script. It's like nerdy and personal and fun at the same time."
"My turn." Changbin announces, throwing his arm over the back of the couch behind Seungmin. "My room is industrial. Lot of exposed metals in the decor, dark colors, low lighting. I like it to feel relaxing when I get home from school or work or the gym."
"I taught him the word industrial." Hyunjin points out proudly, and Changbin chuckles.
"Yeah, you did." He considers. "I have a work corner, that's like a mini studio at home for me to write and work on stuff when I have the time or inspiration? It's separated from the rest of the room by like this metal grate wall and the space is really cool. It's probably my favorite place to hang out by myself."
"He looks neat." You point out, and Changbin shoots you a glare. "But don't look in his closet cause he just shoves all his mess in there and it's a warzone."
"Oooh, he also has this really cool expensive sound machine!" Felix adds excitedly. "And he hides it in the corner behind this like little desk, room fountain thing, and so his room just always sounds like running water or rain or something else soothing."
"Yeah, I love having noise in there all the time, even when I sleep. Helps me focus."
"My room is Scandinavian, which I also learned from Hyunjin." Chan winks at the omega, who gives him a big grin and a thumbs up. "It's dark, exposed woods and metals and very simple. I love the look of wrought iron and untreated wood and so I've used that a lot in my shelves and bed frame and personal style."
"His closet is a black hole though." You chuckle, and Chan looks at you in betrayal. You shrug. "Not that it's a bad thing. It's exceptionally organized, just all one color."
"And he's a huge sap. He keeps every picture and every letter or note every member of the pack has ever given him in a drawer by his bed." Minho rolls his eyes and once again, Chan looks betrayed.
"It's cute." You bump his side and he rolls his eyes.
"Yeah, yeah." He goes on. "I also have a mini studio space in my room, but it's in a little loft area above the main room, above my bed. There's like a wooden ladder that goes up there and a wood and iron railing and it's super nice to just go up there when I need to work at home or clear my head."
"As far as my room goes-" Minho shrugs blankly. "A room is a room, a bed is a bed. I like my things put away where they go and everything kept simple."
"Hear, hear." Changbin nods, and Minho sighs.
"I allow two exceptions to this rule when it comes to my room. One," He holds up a finger sternly. "Recipe books. I keep an entire corner shelf for them. And two," He holds up a second finger. "Pictures of my cats that my parent's send me monthly. I frame all the new ones when they get here and add them to the gallery wall across from the bed."
"It's huge." Jisung nods reverently. "I've never seen so many cat pictures in my life."
"I also-" Minho adds. "-allow two orchids to inhabit the space of my windowsill. They're good for prosperity."
"Plus they're pretty." Jeongin chirps helpfully, and Minho sighs, but rustles the baby's hair regardless.
"Yes, they are very pretty."
"You have that little glass plant terrarium in your bathroom that holds your super old bonsai tree too." You point out, and Minho nods.
"Yes. Because I enjoy taking care of something so fickle, yet knowing that in the end, it will ultimately outlive me."
"Deep." Jisung nods appreciatively. "Is now a bad time to tell you that I used your little spray bottle to slick my hair the other day?"
"-My bonsai mister?"
"Is that what it was? Oops."
Hyunjin grins wickedly as Minho glares at his moonmate murderously.
"Looks like your bonsai tree is not only gonna outlive you, hyung, but now it's gonna way outlive Jisung too."

Second Name: Named Common Runners-Up ~
Our runners-up this week are @grornt​, @helloijustreadyourpost​, and @izzet-always-r-versus-u​!
Tumblr media
@grornt​ — Affluent Adopter
Oh, to be a single and carefree jazz musician surrounded by metal dogs. This card calls to mind a great vision that’s more interesting than it is flavorfully cohesive. I mean, there are indeed dogs around the Cabaretti, and I feel that they could be taken under someone’s wings. Jinnie Fay makes dogs, which is awesome, so maybe in the future the Cabaretti can have more Dog support. And for the general Dog-species decks, this card’s a slam-dunk. There was that cat/dog couple—Rin and Seri, right? Something like that. A great addition.
In limited, you could have fun with the Goldhound reprint for mana acceleration and then let them loose in the world. It’s not going to do anything a normal Treasure isn’t going to do, and it’s a suer specific form of mana “acceleration” that’s not out of the question for artifacts, treasures, etc. I really just don’t know what to think about the question of whether or not Goldhounds specifically need adopting? I don’t want to think about that, though—I want the warm fuzzies of Jazz Musician With Puppy Posse. And that comes across quite well!
Tumblr media
@helloijustreadyourpost​ — Llanowar’s Fury
What’s up with all the awesome green cards this week? But I digress. Llanowar Elves in constructed formats are always a popular staple and there’s nothing wrong with having strong constructed-oriented mana acceleration. Limited payoffs mean that people have to hope something like this wheels—but it won’t, heh. Hoping for a common later in your packs can totally work, and wow, in sealed? Incredible work. People making casual elf decks will love this, too, no question.
Flavor makes sense on Dominaria! I like the way you tied the elves and the old fantasy spirits into each other. This is the kind of card that I really click with? Like, sometimes there’s a super-specific story to a card, and that’s fantastic when something can be so self-contained. A card like this that’s expanding upon a world—and upon known information about the world, with a callback—feels like we’re part of something greater that doesn’t need to be solved per se; it’s the existence of Llanowar, the layout, the customs, the ‘other’ under our control. I dunno, there’s nuance I’m not really able to get out right now, but I still think it’s a good card.
Tumblr media
@izzet-always-r-versus-u​ — Vengeful Spirit
Now that cycling is more or less evergreen, this card got a lot more awesome. The creative use of templating (for those wondering: Diligent Farmhand) makes sense, and ooh, the spookiness of having this creature be one of the lost family members from Ancestral Anger? Awesome. It’s a great callback. I think when Magic was smaller, it was easier to do these sort of self-contained cards. Muscle Burst isn’t exactly, well, bursting with story, but this card? Really nice on that front. Wish the name was a little less...sorta-generic. It makes sense and it’s not bad for a card; I’m seriously surprised it hadn’t been used before.
I like how cycling is utilitarian here, but additionally, if you’re constructing a deck, you can cycle it for a lethal burst of Anger for another Spirit that’s attacking. In limited, the double-draw is awesome because it plays into so many archetypes that can use that aggro. UR or RW would probably be the best ones, which is rad. Overall? Lots of angles approached here. Top-notch design.
Tumblr media
Commentary’s being written slowly but surely. Be good in the meantime! @abelzumi​

@hoesheez
A/N: Second part to @imperfectlyperfectprincess1 commission! I hope you enjoy!
“I missed you so much.” You whisper, snuggling into Seonghwa.
“Baby.” He whispers, stroking your face. “I have to tell you something.”
“Mhm?” You groan, your eyes closed.
“I have to leave again tomorrow.” He whispers. Your eyes shoot open. “What? Why?” You whine.
“They added more dates to the USA tour. We've got 4 shows each in all the cities.” He says. You can see it in his eyes how excited he is and you hoped he couldn't see how heartbroken you were in your eyes. “I'm sorry they extended it but it's going to be so awesome.” He smiles. “Will you come out to one of the shows?” He asks.
“I'm so happy for you. Of course I will.” You force a smile. “But how long are you gone for?” You ask.
“Um.” He pauses. “Roughly… four months. Maybe longer.”
“F-four months?” You stutter, your stomach sinking and your heart breaking. “That's so long.” You chuckle.
“I know baby but we can get through it. We'll make it. After the USA tour we get a few months off. I promise.” He smiles.
“Of course we'll be fine, Hwa.” You grin. “We always are.”
The next morning, you head to The coffee shop near your place, to get coffee for you and Hwa, since he didn't leave until the evening.
"Hello, what can I get for you today?” The lady asks as you're looking at the menu. You begin to step up, but someone else also starts to step up. You look over, and are shocked to see Han Jisung standing beside you, smiling.
“You can go.” He laughs, motioning you to the counter.
“Thank you.” You giggle, tucking your hair behind your ear. “Hi, can I get two iced vanilla lattes?” You say. “And whatever he wants.” You say, pointing to Han.
“You don't have too. But thank you.” He laughs, waving you off.
“I know but I'd like to.” You reply.
Han orders his coffee, thanking you again.
“A name for the order?” The lady asks.
“Uh, Maya.” You smile. You turn to look at Han, extending your hand as your eyes lock with his. “I'm Maya.” You whisper. He takes your hand, shaking it, still staring at you. “Han Jisung.” He replies, a blush spreading across his face. It makes you laugh.
“I know.”
“Two iced lattes for Maya!” The batista yells, breaking you out of your trance with Han. “Is it for your boyfriend?” He asks, also grabbing his coffee.
“My friend.” You smile. “She drank too much last night.”
“Ahh, okay.” He smiles. “Then it would be okay for me to ask for your number?” He asks, pulling out his phone.
“It would be more than okay.” You whisper, taking his phone, putting your name, not your real name but the name you gave him and your number.
“I'll call you.” He says. “Thanks for the coffee.”
“I'll be waiting.” You laugh, heading out the opposite way, back to your boyfriend. You had a hard time saying no. But who could say no to these men?
“Baby, I'm back.” You call out. You look around the apartment for Hwa but he's nowhere. You see a piece of paper on the table. You walk over reading it outloud.
Hi my love,
They moved the flights up, and I couldn't get a hold of you. They wouldn't wait. I'm so sorry. I'll call you when we land. Remember you mean the world to me and I love you so much. We can do this, baby. Jeongin will be free in a few days. He knows to take care of you. Don't miss me too much.
Love, Hwa.
“Motherfucker.” You yell, tossing his coffee into the garbage, and aggressively drinking yours. You throw away your cup, shuffling to your room and plopping down onto your bed. You were just so angry. So angry you could cry. You were supposed to have two weeks but they took that away. Then you were at least supposed to have the day but they took that away too. Were you ever going to have time with your boyfriend?
You spent the rest of that week, ordering food, staying inside, and ignoring any phone calls from anyone. You weren't in the mood to talk to anyone.
You took a big bite from your burger, when there's a pounding at your door. “I'm coming.” You try to snap with your mouth full. You swing the door open, seeing an angry Jeongin standing outside your door.
“The fuck do you think you're doing?” He snaps, stomping into your apartment. “I thought you were fucking dead, why are you not answering your phone?” He spits.
“Cause Hwa left a fucking note while I was out getting coffee, when I was supposed to have 2 weeks with him, I got a night and didn't even get a chance to say goodbye.” You yell. “That's why I'm not answering my phone.”
“That doesn't give you the right to make me worry. It's been four fucking days.” He sighs. “I'm sorry about Seonghwa. I know it's hard and things change so fast. But you guys will be okay.”
“Yeah, yeah I know. It just sucks.” You pout, walking back to the couch. You truly were so mad at Seonghwa. He hadn't even made an effort to let you know. Jeongin follows you, sitting next to you eating your fries. When you're done with your dinner, you snuggle in against Jeongin, watching a show. His hand resting on your thigh, lightly squeezing, slowly moving its way up. Your clit throbs as he fingers move between your legs, going up the leg of your shorts. He gently rubs your clit over your underwear, making you moan.
“I need you so fucking bad.” He groans, looking down at his cock, bulging against his pants. You smile, licking your lips as you slide off the couch, settling yourself between his legs, helping him pull down his sweats, letting his cock spring free.
You wrap your hand around his cock, gently stroking him as you lean down, wrapping your mouth around his tip. You swirl your tongue around his tip a few times before you begin to take him deeper, slowly pushing him further down your throat. Jeongin groans, throwing his head back onto the back of the couch, squeezing his eyes shut as he grabs a chunk of your hair. You bob your head up and down, swallowing his cock while he thrusts up to push it deeper down.
“Okay, okay.” He breathes, letting go of your hair. You lift your head up, licking your lips, looking him in the eyes.
“Ride me.” He says, watching you take off your clothes, climbing onto the couch to hover over him before you sink your pussy down onto him.
“Fuck.” You hiss, your eyes rolling back as he stretches you out. No matter how many times you had slept with him, you could never get used to how well he fills you up.
You lean forward, beginning to bounce on him, letting his cock slide in and out of you over and over again.
“Goddamn, your pussy feels so fucking good.” He groans, his hands holding your hips as you bounce. He leans forward taking your nipple into his mouth, sucking gently, swirling his tongue around the bud as you start rocking back and forth on his cock. You drag your clit against him each time, making you moan, your orgasm building faster and faster each time. Jeongin's fingers dig into your hips as you pick up your pace.
“Fuck.” He groans. “Ride my cock.” He groans. “Shit, cum for me.”
You move faster, your orgasm right there. “Oh my god.” You cry out as it finally hits you, sending chills up your spine. Your eyes roll back again as you cum, slowing down your movements. Jeongin lifts you up slightly to harshly thrust into you, his own orgasm not far behind yours. Seconds later, he thrusts one last time, groaning loudly as he cums deep inside of you, pumping softly, milking himself for every last drop.
You sit there for a moment, before sliding off his cock. You quickly run to the bathroom to clean yourself up before you head back to the living room, where Jeongin is getting himself together.
You really do take such good care of me.” You giggle, putting your clothes back on.
“I'm just doing what Hwa asked me to do.” He laughs, finishing putting his own clothes back on.
“He asks you to fuck me?” You laugh, making him laugh.
“He asks me to take care of you. It's not my fault this is how you need your care.” He smiles. He leans in, and gives you a kiss, before heading towards the door, putting his shoes on. “Call me. For anything.” He says, leaving you alone again.
Seconds later, your phone rings with an unknown number on the screen. “Hello?” You answer.
“Maya?” The person says.
“Yes?”
“Sorry.” He laughs. “It's Jisung. Han Jisung… from the coffee shop.”
“Hi Han Jisung.” You giggle. “How are you?”
“I'm good. Really good. How are you?” He asks.
“I'm really good as well.” You laugh.
“Great… that's great.” He sighs. “would you… you know maybe wanna get dinner tomorrow?” He asks.
“Really?” You ask, perking up. “I'd love that.”
“Oh great, that's awesome.” Han exclaims. “I'll text you the details.”
“Sounds good. Talk later, Han Jisung.” You giggle, hanging up the phone.
You were excited to go out with him, but were you going to be able to juggle dating three men?
Yes you would be able too. You just needed to make a plan, and it was helpful that you were a quick thinker, giving Minho and Han fake names, that way no one would know. Everything was going to be just fine, and with Seonghwa gone for a while, it would be easy to split up your time between Minho and Han.
The next night, you were getting ready for your date with Han. He had texted you earlier in the day about a well-known, fancy Italian restaurant that he rented out for the night so no one would be able to disturb the two of you. Your heart melted at the sentiment. He was really so sweet and you hadn't even been out with him yet.
Your taxi pulled up outside of the restaurant and you could see Han already there, waiting. You smile as you get out of the car after paying the driver, making your way inside. When the hostess greets you, Han turns around and smiles seeing you standing there. He stands up as you walk towards him, pulling out your chair for you before sitting back down.
“Such a gentleman.” You giggle.
“You look stunning tonight.” He smiles.
“Why thank you.” You smile, a blush spreading across your face. He was so sweet and you loved that he seemed so nervous to be out with you.
The entire night, he had you laughing so hard. You tried to eat your food, but the second you were going to put something in your mouth, he had you giggling again and again. You really liked him, and you were excited to add him into the mix. Each man gave you something else that the others didn't, things that you felt like you were lacking and you appreciate them all. You hadn't planned to sleep with him that night, but things happen, feelings change and that's how you wound up making out with him in the foyer of his apartment, as he leads you towards his bedroom.
“Are you sure this is okay?” Han whispers as he tugs at the zipper of your dress.
“Yes.” You breathe. “I want this.” You say.
Han pulls the zipper down, letting your dress just slide off your body, leaving you in your bra and panties. Han's breath hitches as he stares at you, licking his lips. He grabs you, pulling you into his bedroom where he pushes you back on the bed. He crawls on after you, hooking his fingers into your panties, dragging them down your legs. He tosses them onto the floor before he spreads your legs open, moving in between your thighs. He spreads your lips, licking a long strip up your cunt, making you moan, slightly. He uses the tip of his tongue to flick your clit a few times before he wraps his lips around his, sucking gently on it. You shimmy out of your bra, grabbing your tits, rolling your nipples between your fingers as he sloppily eats your pussy, licking and sucking, making your eyes roll back.
Han slowly pushes two fingers inside of you, making you scream louder, as he finger fucks you and sucks on yout clit.
“Holy shit.” You cry out, your back arching as you can feel your orgasm coming quickly. It doesn't even take seconds for it to hit you. You cry out loudly, while Han slows down his movements, moving his face away, pulling his fingers out as he licks his lips. You lay there breathing heavily as he unbuckles his belt, taking off his pants and letting his hard cock spring free. He reaches over into his bedside table, grabbing a condom and rolling it onto his cock.
He lines himself up with you, slowly pushing his cock inside of you.
Fuck. He stretched you out almost as good as Seonghwa, Jeongin or Minho.
You wrap your legs around his waist as he starts pounding himself into you. Your legs only last there for a second before Han has them up against him, holding onto them tightly as he rams his cock into you, with each thrust pushing himself into you as far as he can go. He legs go of your leg and takes one hand to play with your swollen clit, making you jump when he touches the sensitive bud. He rubs your clits while maintaining his speed, slamming into you each time.
“Fuck, oh fuck.” You cry out, arching your back once again. You can feel your second orgasm coming quickly, you could tell he was going to cum soon too. You let go, letting your orgasm flow through you, clenching your cunt around his cock. Han groans as he moves his hand from your clit, digging his fingers into your legs as he pounds into you, chasing his own high.
“I'm cumming.” He groans, spilling his seed inside his condom, moaning loudly as he works through his orgasm. “Fuck.” He breathes. You keep laying on the bed, trying to make the world stop spinning as Han gets up, discarding his condom before slipping his boxers back on and crawling in beside you.
You lay and talk with him for a little bit, until you decide you should be getting home. As you got dressed, Han laid in his bed, watching you getting dressed, with a big grin plastered on his face.
“I really wanna see you again.” He smiles, making you laugh.
“I'd love to see you again.” You say, finishing up zipping up your dress. You look at your phone, Seonghwa's picture and name flashing on the screen. “I'll call you.” You say, crawling on the bed to kiss him, before you leave his apartment. You call Seonghwa back as you walk away from Han's apartment.
“Hey baby.” He answers the phone.
“Hi.” You say. You were still mad at him for taking off without so much of a goodbye. It hurt your heart and he didn't even try to call you. There were no missed calls on your phone.
“Baby, please. I couldn't get a hold of you.” He sighs.
“Oh you couldn't? Then why were there no missed calls on my phone? Why haven't I talked to you in 5 days since you left?” You ask.
“I had no time!” He exclaims. “They called and said we had to go. I was rushing around. And it's been so busy, this is the first free second I've had.”
You wanted to believe him, and part of you did. But the other part of you didn't. He didn't have a second before bed to even shoot you a text? Or a second as he's rushing out of the apartment down to the hallway before his flight, he couldn't have pressed his speed dial quickly and put his phone up to his ear?
“Okay.” You breathe. He was going to be gone for a while, and the last thing you wanted was to fight about something like this.
“Are we okay?” He whispers. You knew his anxiety was currently eating him alive. He knew you were upset with him but he didn't know how upset you were.
“Yeah, we're fine.” You say. You didn't want to say more. You were extremely upset, and you currently didn't want to talk to him.
“Okay. They're calling me back. I love you, Y/N.” He says.
“Love you too. Good luck.” You say, hanging up the phone. You were annoyed as you waited outside for your Uber. Han offered to take you home but you politely declined, not wanting him to have to leave when he was already home. As you stand there, you can faintly hear someone calling the name Maya. You're turning your head in all directions trying to see who is calling, when someone familiar comes into view.
“Hey you.” Minho smiles, walking up to you. “What are you doing here?” He asks.
“Oh, Minho, hi.” You laugh. “Here? Oh I was just visiting a friend!” You exclaim. “I'm just waiting for my Uber.” You explain.
“Uber? Nah, I'll drive you home.” He says. “There was something I actually had wanted to ask you.” He says, walking you towards his car.
“Something you wanted to ask me, huh?” You giggle, sliding into the passenger seat of his car. Before you let him ask you his question, you told him your address. It took a few minutes of driving before he actually began talking to you.
“I really enjoyed the other night.” He laughs, thinking back to the night the two of you met. “But I wanted to know if you maybe wanted to go on a date with me?” He asks.
“A date? I would love to!” You grin.
“Dancing, dinner, drinks…I don't know, bowling?” He suggests. “Whatever you want to do!” He says, excitedly.
“I'd love to have dinner and drinks.” You smile. Minho smiles widely as he pulls up to your building.
“Awesome, okay.” He says. “I'll call you.”
“Sounds good. Thank you for the ride!” You say, getting out of the car. You wave to Minho before you start walking into your building. As you walked down the hallway of your floor, you noticed someone standing beside your door. You tried to squint to see who it was, but couldn't quite make them out being so far away. But as you got closer, you immediately recognized who it was standing there.
“Innie.” You laugh, walking up to the sour looking man. “What are you doing here?”
“Why were you getting out of Minho’s car?” He asks.
“How did you know that?” You ask, sliding your key into the lock.
“I looked out the window at the end of the hall. You were laughing and smiling. What the hell is going on?” He asks.
“He just gave me a ride. I was visiting a friend.” You laugh. “Are you gonna come in?” You ask, holding the door open for him.
Jeongin takes a deep breath, walking into your place, leaving his concerns outside the door.
**
It had been two months of you dating three men, and only sleeping with one of them, and you were at the point where you were putting dates with who in your calendar, along with information you’ve told them about yourself, like your name, into your notes just so you weren’t getting confused. It was a lot of work, but you were having the time of your life, and they all seemed to be enjoying their time as well. Jeongin was still suspicious, but you maintained that you and Minho were barely acquaintances, he only gave you a ride home that night because it was cold. You even told him that he could ask Minho about you, Y/N and that you were sure he wouldn’t even know who he was talking about. He seemed to accept that, for now. But you were going to have to be smarter if you were going to keep this up and keep Jeongin from finding anything out.
“You’re still coming right?” Seonghwa asks on facetime, as you walk around the apartment.
“You see this stuff in my hands?” You laugh. “These are my clothes that are going over into that suitcase over there, which will be going onto the plane that I will also be on to go to Chicago.” You laugh, putting the clothes into your suitcase.
“When did you get so sarcastic?” Seonghwa laughs. You glare at him through the screen when a call from Minho pops up onto the screen of your phone. You knew Seonghwa couldn’t see it but you still panicked a little and swiped it off the screen.
“What was that? Are you okay?” Seonghwa asks, looking a little concerned.
“Oh yeah.” You laughed it off. “Just a spam call.” You explain.
“I can’t wait to see you, baby.” Seonghwa smiles.
“I can’t wait either.” You sigh. You really missed him. You had the company of Minho, Han and Jeongin but it wasn’t the same as having Seonghwa around. You were having fun with them and you were sure they knew it.
You stood at the airport, looking at the screen for your flight to Chicago, and the large letters of canceled flashing on the screen. You could feel the tears welling up in your eyes as you walked to the desk of the airline you were supposed to fly, seeing if there was anything they could do.
“I’m so sorry, but because of the weather in Chicago, all the flights for at least the next few days have been canceled. And not just with our airline, but with all of them.” She says, giving you a sympathetic smile.
“Thank you.” You whisper, turning around to walk away. You pull out your phone, calling Seonghwa.
“Are you boarded, baby?” He asks. You take a deep breath, trying not to show that you were crying.
“Um.” You begin, your voice trembling. “My flight was canceled.” You say.
“Okay, well just find another one.” He says, in a chipper voice.
“They’re all canceled, Hwa.” You breathe. “Weather in Chicago apparently isn’t good and no one is flying there for the next few days.” You say.
“Baby, this was the only time that worked for both of us.” He whispers. You can hear it in his voice that he’s upset. And so are you. You had been looking forward to seeing him, and being in his arms once again.
“I know.” You sniffle.
“It’s okay, love. It’s been two months, and we only have two more to go, it’ll fly by, okay?” He says. “Stay strong, I love you.” He says.
“I love you too.. But Hwa, I'm feeling really… well not myself. Can we talk?” You ask, walking back towards the doors of the airport.
“They’re calling me back for rehearsal.” He says. “I gotta go, we’ll talk later, okay? Love you!” He says before hanging up the phone.
You put your phone back in your pocket, doing your best to swallow your tears. You knew he was a busy man, but fuck, sometimes you just needed your boyfriend. You knew one person who was around. You pulled your phone out again, dialing his number.
“Hi.” You whisper. “My flight was canceled, can you come get me?” You ask.
“I’ll be there in twenty minutes.” He says, hanging up the phone. You walk over to a little concrete bench, sitting down and waiting. You let all your tears out while you waited, so you didn’t cry the entire time in his car.
What only felt like seconds later, a familiar call pulls up, parking right in front of you. You put your luggage in the back seat before getting into the passenger seat.
“Thank you for coming.” You smile. You were sure your face was red and puffy right now.
“I’d do anything for you.” He smiles, driving back to your apartment.
**
“I just don’t get it.” You whine, laying your head on Jeongin’s lap. “I mean i do get it, but I don’t because if my girlfriend was clearly upset, i’d tell them to fuck off, and talk to her. Maybe he just doesn’t care.” You huff.
“Well you know I'd never do that to you.” He whispers.
You were sure he was joking. “You’re such a dork.” You laugh.
“Listen.” He starts. “If you’re this unhappy with things, why not end it?” Jeongin asks.
“Tour doesn’t last forever.” You say. “When he’s back home, things will be fine. But it's hard when you're apart for so long. Like he said, only two more months.” You sigh.
“Yeah, I'm sure it will be.” He sighs.
**
Over the next month and a half, you absolutely started to feel better, you had been going out with Minho on Monday, Wednesday’s and Friday’s, and he had asked you to be his girlfriend after a few dates. Of course you said yes.
You had also been going out with Han on Tuesday’s, Thursday’s and Saturday’s, and he had also asked you to be his girlfriend. Who were you to say no and deny him? As for Sundays, you saved that day for yourself, or for seeing Jeongin, who seemed to be upset every time you talked to him.
“What’s going on?” You ask Jeongin. “You’ve been so mad whenever you come over.”
“Do you know a girl named Maya? Or Jennie?” He asks.
“Mhmm, no, those names don't sound familiar?” You murmur. Your stomach was twisting and turning. He didn’t know, right? “Why?” You ask.
“Han and Minho are each dating a girl, I was just wondering if you knew who they were.” He says. Your stomach settles.
“Nope, I don’t.” You say.
You hoped this wasn't going to blow up in your face. But even if it did, it wouldn't be the end of the world.
A few days later, you were sitting in your bed, scrolling through your phone, before your date with Minho, when you received a call from Seonghwa. It had been a few days since you talked to him. “Hello?” You say, answering the phone.
“Hi baby.” He whispers.
You knew there was going to be bad news.
“What?” You ask. “Something happened, or you need to tell me something.” You say.
“The tour…” He pauses.
If they extended it, you were going to burst.
“They’ve added some Canadian dates, and some in Mexico too.” He says.
“So?” you sigh. “How much longer?” You ask.
“They’re also talking about adding more European dates.” He says. “I don’t know, maybe another 6 months if they add them all.” He explains.
You felt numb now. You were just numb. You weren't going to see your boyfriend? That's fine, you had two other’s you could fall back on. You still loved Seonghwa, but you were getting tired of not seeing him. And you knew that Minho, Han and Jeongin might be going on tour soon, also. So you better get used to being alone, or maybe you just need to find more boyfriends for when that happens.
“Okay.” You say.
“Okay?” he questions. “That’s all you have to say?”
“I don’t know what you want me to say, Hwa. Do you want me to cry? Do you want me to yell? What good will any of those things do? Will you come back and skip the rest of the tour?” You ask.
“Well… no.” He sighs. “I don’t know. I just wasn't expecting you to accept it so easily.” He admits.
“Does it hurt? Yeah it absolutely does. Do I wish you would come home? Yeah i fucking miss you but theres nothing i can do, except maybe try to come out to one of the shows. But I love you and I know you’re doing what you love so I can't be upset at that anymore.” You say.
“You’re the fucking best, baby. I’ll figure out a date that works for me and see if it works for you. And if it does, I’m booking you the first flight out. Okay?” he says.
You smile. “Sounds good.” You say.
There's a knock at the door. You know it’s Minho.
“Is someone at the door?” Seonghwa asks.
“Oh, it’s Jeongin. He wanted to go for dinner.” You respond.
“Ah okay, well have fun baby. I love you.” He says.
“I love you more.” You whisper, hanging up the phone. You get up and out of bed, running to your front door. You pull it open, grinning at Minho.
“Hi baby.” He says, grabbing you, planting his lips onto yours.
He pulls away, smiling.
“Hello to you too.” You giggle.
“Are you ready to go?” he asks.
“Just about, I have to put my shoes on.” You say, shuffling over to your shoe rack. You slip on your favorite heels that aren't really heels, but they’re still cute. “Now I'm ready.” You say.
“Good, I've got a fun evening planned.” He says, taking your hand and pulling you out of the apartment.
**
Over the next few months, you have completely fallen for Han and Minho. You were still in love with Seonghwa, but those two were constantly there for you in ways that Seonghwa hadn’t been able to be in what felt like forever. You knew you couldn’t be doing it like this for much longer. Seonghwa would be home in a few months and you wouldn’t be able to see either of them and that would end up raising some questions. You needed to choose, but you didn’t have a single idea of who you were going to pick.
You’d been with Seonghwa the longest and you loved him, but there was something about Minho that had you drawn to him. And Han was just so sweet and attentive. How was a girl even supposed to make a choice like this?
One Sunday, you were at home, alone, exhausted from a week with your two boyfriends. You were lounging on your couch when you heard a knock before a distraught looking Jeongin walked in, heading straight for you.
“We need to talk.” He says, seriously.
“Is Seonghwa okay?” You ask.
“Who gives a fuck!” Jeongin snaps.
“Innie.” You whisper. “What’s going on?” You ask.
“I love you.” He breathes. “Fuck, i’ve loved you for so long, Y/N. I’m here. I’m standing right in front of you. Where is he?”
“Innie… he’s on tour doing what he loves.” You say. “We were just having fun… it was anything serious… at least it wasn't supposed to be.” You whisper.
“You’re still gonna choose him?” Jeongin scoffs.
“I’ll always choose him.” You whisper.
Jeoning scoffs, nodding his head before he takes off, slamming the door in the process. You have never seen him so angry at anything, let alone you. You felt a little guilty, like you had been stringing him along. Jeongin was a great guy and a great lay, but you didn’t have those types of feelings for him. Your feelings were stretched enough between Minho, Han and Seonghwa.
Not long after, you had been laying on your couch, watching your favorite series, when there was another knock at your door. You roll off the couch, shuffling towards the door. You pull it open, Surprised to see Minho standing there.
“Jennie, what the fuck is going on?” He asks.
“What do you mean?” You ask. Before he can open his mouth, someone else chimes in. “Jennie?” you hear from around the door. “Her name is Maya.” Han says, coming into view.
“She’s not Jennie or Maya.” You hear a familiar voice. Seconds later Jeongin walks into view.
“Her name is Y/N, and her 3 year anniversary with Park Seonghwa is coming up soon.” He says.
“What?” Minho asks, looking between both men.
“So you’ve been dating four fucking people?” Han asks.
“Oh no, she hasn’t been dating me.” Jeongin says. “She’s only been fucking me whenever she wants but has no feelings for me.”
“What the fuck, Jennie… Maya… or whatever the fuck your name is.” Minho snaps.
“I can’t do this.” Han whispers. Both men walk away, Leaving you and Jeongin standing face to face.
“Why?” You whisper. You felt like you were going to throw up. “Why would you do this? How did you even find out?”
“I’m not a fucking moron, Y/N. I see shit. You’re not as sneaky as you think you are.” He snaps, turning to walk away. “Oh, and before I go, You should be expecting a phone call from Seonghwa.” He smiles, leaving you to drop to the ground as your phone begins to ring.
“Hello?” You whisper.
“Y/N, why am i getting calls and texts from Jeongin saying you’ve been dating fucking Minho, Han and fucking Jeongin?” He snaps.
“I don’t know, baby!” You say. “He’s mad at me I think.” You tell him.
“Why would he be mad at you?” Seonghwa asks.
“Because he confessed his feelings to me!” You exclaim. You were so glad this wasn't happening in person. Your entire body was heating up, you were sure your face was so extremely flushed at this moment.
“And what did you say?” He asks.
“I told him that I love you and I wasn't interested in being anything other than friends with him.” You explain. “He was so angry. So now he's trying to ruin us by making this shit up.”
“Have you been sleeping with him?” Seonghwa asks.
“Oh my god, Seonghwa, come on, you seriously think I would do that? I love you!” You say.
“I don’t know what to think right now.” He sighs. “I gotta go, I need to sort some things out. I’ll call you when I'm ready.” He says, hanging up the phone. You wander back to your shared room with Seonghwa. Your stomach was in knots thinking about what was going to come from this.
Over the next few days, you received hurtful texts from Minho and Han. You did feel guilty for hurting them but that's kind of a part of life, right? Had Jeongin not ruined it, you had had a plan, and a good one in place. It was one that would have let them down easily, and hopefully spared their feelings.
You felt alone now. You had needed them while Seonghwa was gone and that’s what Jeongin didn't understand. This wasn't you trying to be a terrible person, it was you getting what you needed until the one you loved more came home.
It had been almost a week since you’d spoken to Seonghwa and the feeling of anxiety honestly got worse with each day. You were desperate to know what he was thinking. Did he still love you? Was he still going to be with you? Did he really believe Jeongin?
As you were laying on the couch, staring at the blank screen, waiting for Seonghwa to call you, you heard a key go in the lock.
There were only two other people who had a key.
Jeongin and Seonghwa.
You sit up, staring at the door. The door opens, and in walks Seonghwa.
“How are you home?” You yell, running towards him. You jump onto him, and he holds onto you, but he doesn't squeeze you like he usually does. You can feel the anger he has without him even saying a word.
You slide down, standing on the floor, looking at him.
“Baby?” You whisper.
“I took a leave. This shit…this shit you’re putting me through is fucking me up.” He says, walking past you towards the couch. “How could you do this to me? To us?” He asks, his voice trembling. You watch him, his lip quivering as he tries to hold in his tears. But he can't. He breaks down, sitting on the couch sobbing into his hands. You don't know what to do. He's crying so hard and loudly, honestly it was making you a little uncomfortable.
“I didn’t do anything! I told you, Jeongin is lying!” You say.
His head snaps up. He wipes away his tears as anger fuels him. “Then why do i have fucking pictures?” He screams, standing up. He unlocks his phone, scrolling to the pictures. He shows you one of you and Minho, looking cozy and laughing at a dinner date. He scrolls again, showing you a picture of you and Han, kissing. He scrolled again, showing you a picture of you and Jeongin, him with you going down on him.
“Well fuck.” You say. You didn't know there were pictures. Had you known you probably would have just come out and told him the truth. What did you do now?
Apologize.
“I’m sorry.” You whisper. You're trying to cry. You're trying to show him that you feel bad. “I’m so sorry.” You sniffle, as one tear rolls down your cheek.
Fuck.
“So it’s true.” He breathes. “Did you ever love me?” He asks.
That question turned things around. Instead of trying to look sorry, you were angry. “Did I ever love you? Are you fucking kidding me?” You snap.
“I've loved you through fucking everything. The late practices, the music shows, the rehearsals, recordings, concerts and the fucking tours! I should be asking you that question! You left a note, Hwa! A fucking note and you were going to be gone for four fucking months, and you left a goddamn note!” You scream.
“Y/N.” He whispers.
“No! I’ve missed you so fucking much! It hurt so much! I tried to talk to you but you were too busy! I was lonely and you didn’t care. Yeah, I went about it probably in the worst fucking way possible but i did what I needed to do to get through it, and i’m sorry I did this to you. You can hate me, you can break up with me, you can do whatever you feel like you need to do. But don’t ever question if I loved you or not because you know I fucking did.”
Seonghwa sits there, looking down at the ground. He doesn't say anything and you have nothing else to say. You walk out of the room, putting on your shoes, grabbing your bag and leaving the apartment.

“You did what!?” Lisa gasps. You sip on your cocktail after explaining the entire thing to her. “Honestly, I thought you just hooked up with Minho that one time.” she says. “I had no idea you were full on dating him, and Han!? Girl!” she laughs. “And then Jeongin too?”
“I wasn't dating him.” You clarify. “I was just sleeping with him when I wanted. Which I mean, I get but it was never supposed to be serious. It was casual and he knew it.”
“Did he know it?” She asks.
“I thought he did. But somewhere along the lines he caught feelings.” You sigh.
“I mean… who wouldn't.” Lisa laughs, which makes you laugh.
“But he was the one who told all of them. So I have nothing more to say to him, ever again.” You say, finishing your cocktail.
Just as you set your glass back onto the bar, the door opens. You look over, seeing Jeongin looking around the bar. You immediately duck, trying to hide yourself. You were drunk, and you had no interest in speaking to him.
“Y/N.” you hear him say. You let out a sigh, sitting up, turning to look at him.
“I’m drunk and not responsible for what I call you or what I say to you.” You warn him.
“I’m sorry.” He says. “I thought if maybe they all knew the truth, then you would maybe consider me.” He tells you.
“So you blew up my life, because I wouldn’t date you?” you ask. You knew it was yes. You knew that was the reason he did this but you just needed him to confirm it.
“Yeah… I’m sorry.’ He whispers.
“Don’t ever fucking talk to me again.” You snap. You slam some money down on the bar, leaving him there and walking out. You wander around the streets. You weren't ready to go home but wandering was nice, it helped you think. You knew this wasn't Jeongin’s fault. It was a little, but the blame was mostly on you. The secret would have come out eventually, he just sped up the process.
You were just twisted in the way you were thinking and rationalizing the decisions you made. You were good at saying that you were sorry but you knew you weren't legitimately sorry. The only thing you were truly sorry for was the fact that you had been caught. Had this not happened, who knows how long this would have gone on for. What if it was years and then what were you supposed to do if they all proposed?
Fuck. That would have been a nightmare. Maybe you should be thanking Jeongin for this?
You didn't know how to feel about your relationship with Seonghwa. You didn’t know what to do. Your fucking head was nothing but a jumbled, tangled mess and you didn’t know if you were going to be able to untangle it, or how. You ended up wandering back to your shared apartment with Seonghwa. You were a little nervous to go in, but you knew you needed to face the consequences. You opened the door and were met with nothing but silence. The lights were off, the tv was off and it was so quiet, you could hear a pin drop.
You turned on the kitchen lights, seeing a piece of paper on the kitchen table.
Y/N,
I’m sorry for not being there when you needed me. You put up with a lot, and I wasn't as appreciative as I should have been. I’ve loved you for almost three years, and i dont think I'll ever stop, but what you did was unforgivable. I can't look at you the same anymore. My trust for you is completely gone. I’m sorry it’s come to this. You can keep the apartment. I’ll get my stuff when I'm back from tour.
Hwa
Part of you wanted to cry, but the other part of you felt relieved. You were now free to do whatever you wanted. You weren't tied down anymore, and you could breathe. You loved Seonghwa and you always would, but you weren't sure if you were meant for relationships. Maybe you were just meant to be alone?
**
A few months later, you're backstage at an awards show, when you see Minho and Han with Jeongin all talking. You haven't spoken to Minho or Han since the night they confronted you and you had always felt a little tug at your heart to make amends with them. They seemed to need it more than you did. You take a deep breath, walking over to them. They look at you with stone cold faces.
“Um, hi.” You say. It’s awkward. “Listen, I just wanted to sincerely apologize to both of you for what I did. It wasn’t right and I shouldn't have done that. I was being greedy and I'm sorry.”
“Thank you, Y/N.” Han says.
“Yeah, thanks.” Minho half smiles.
You look at Jeongin, not saying a word, before turning to walk away, going back to where you were waiting for the man who has seemingly changed your entire way of thinking in the last few months. You had met him when you were out at a club, only days after you lost four important people in your life and things with him had been so different from anything else you had experienced.
“Baby, you made it!” You hear a familiar voice from behind you.
You turn around, seeing your boyfriend, Hoseok rushing towards you. You smile widely, putting your arms out for him to grab your and spin you around. “I missed you.” He says, placing a kiss on your lips.
“I missed you too!” You say, hugging him tightly. He sets you down, and from over his shoulder you can see Seonghwa standing there, looking broken as he stares at you with Hoseok.
You look away, focusing on your boyfriend instead of your past. “Listen, we might be going on a tour soon.” He sighs.
“Aww baby, that's okay.” You smile, glancing over his shoulder, catching the eye of Hoseok's best friend, Minhyuk from BTOB. You send him a wink, before looking back at J-hope.
“We'll get through it.”

SO I WROTE A SILLY SHORT STORY HEHE!!!! :3
OK SO UHHHH. REALLY NERVOUS ABOUT POSTING THIS BUT I GOTTA WORK ON PUTTING STUFF I MAKE OUT THERE SO!!!!
I wrote this little short story for a class and it;s silly and I kinda like how it came out so I went "hmm why don't I post it!" it's about my silly ocs that I post about a lot :3. oh also it has illustrations! oh and disclaimer I'm not the greatest writer ever I just like to get silly with it. I have fun :D.
BUT UH anyway I'm proctrastingating now oops story time
 Even the most mundane tasks are so different when you’re dead. Jinny knew this all too well. Sometimes it was convenient; no more need for doors when you can phase through walls! But other times, being dead was extremely lonely. Like when 99% of the human race can’t see (let alone understand) your ghostly form.
But Jinny would never in a million years admit she was “lonely”. How could she be lonely when she had such awesome living friends? Jinny thought about her best friends, Ophelia and Albert, a lot. The three of them were always acting on Jinny’s stupidest ideas and going on adventures. Or, more accurately, Jinny and Ophelia would act on an adventure and drag a begrudging Albert along.
The awesome friendship adventure plan today was to take Albert’s beloved bike to the largest hill they could find and ride down it without using the breaks. At all! When Jinny brought this idea up with her friends, Ophelia had enthusiastically volunteered to be the one on the bike. This was surprising, given how Ophelia had the courage and mind of a field mouse. Jinny figured she was trying to prove something to herself. She tended to do that sort of thing.
Jinny fidgeted with her hair in excitement. Sure she wasn’t actually the one riding the bike, it’d take her too much energy to not phase through the dang thing, but as long as Jinny’s friends were having fun, so was she!
After a walk through the winding streets of suburbia, the three friends arrived at a large hill. Jinny could see Ophelia tense up as they walked to the crest.
Tumblr media
“What’s wrong?” Jinny asked, her voice startling Ophelia a bit.
“Uh, I’m fine.” Ophelia replied. “Just a bit nervous. Are you sure I can ride a bike down this hill without breaking my neck?”
“I’m sure whatever happens, it’ll turn out fine. And if you did break your neck, we could be ghost buddies! Pal-tergiests!” Jinny said. Her favorite coping strategy was bad death-related puns. Despite the eyeroll, Jinny could see Ophelia smile a little and relax her shoulders.
The helmet Ophelia was wearing (at Albert’s insistence) cast a shadow over her face, making it sorta hard to see her expressions, but that wasn’t the biggest issue. Jinny could read Ophelia very well— Which made sense, given that Jinny’d known Ophelia for pretty much her entire afterlife! They’d grown up together in the Underworld because of Ophelia’ unique kidnapped-by-demons-when-she-was-a-baby situation. Jinny and Ophelia had run away and come up to the living world for the first time recently. Ophelia’d been positively giddy with all the new creatures and plants they’d found. Before she could zone out even more, Jinny was pulled out of her thoughts by Albert’s reedy voice.
“I still think this seems like a horrible idea.” He said. Albert had a way of doubting Jinny’s plans, though she didn’t see why.
“Even if my impeccable idea ends badly, at least we got to see this view!” Jinny chimed.
Tumblr media
The breeze had a tinge of Autumn sweetness to it. The steep hill they were on overlooked the small forest-surrounded town. Jinny could see tiny people and cars on the streets, all living their lives. The town reminded her of an ant colony, always moving and changing. 
The Underworld wasn’t like that. Sure, it was full of activity, but ghosts or imps didn’t change in the same way actual living people did. The bustle up here felt… different.
Jinny shook her melancholy away and turned to Ophelia, who was climbing on the bike now. 
“Are you ready?” Jinny asked, grinning. Ophelia nodded, her lips pursed together. On the count of three, Albert and Jinny pushed the bike with a heave! Ophelia bolted forward, letting out a squeak. Jinny watched as Ophelia barreled down the hill, the bike bouncing every which way.
“This was probably a terrible idea, huh?” Jinny said.
“Definitely.”
As if on cue, the bike crashed into a crag on the hill and Ophelia flew over the rock like a candy wrapper. Jinny yelped and sped down the hill after Albert. 
Ophelia sat at the bottom of the hill, holding a scraped knee, tears rolling down her face. Jinny felt a pit of guilt form in her stomach. She floated next to Ophelia, asking her if she was okay. Ophelia shook her head and blubbered in the same manner as a sopping wet cat. Without speaking, Albert whipped a small first aid kit out of his backpack and started to put some sort of ointment on Ophelia’s nasty-looking cut. 
How the heck is he prepared for everything? What does he keep in that backpack? Jinny thought. One time, Ophelia had needed something to dig with, and Albert offered an egg beater he’d had on hand. Not a hand shovel. An egg beater. It also seemed that Albert had a never-ending library of his favorite comics in his backpack. Jinny thought about Albert more than what was considered normal. Or completely platonic. But Jinny was getting lost in her thoughts again. 
Ophelia was still sniffling when Albert pulled her to her feet. They were all in agreement that Ophelia should never get on a bike again. And that they should all go home.
Tumblr media
That night, the house was still and quiet. Too still and quiet. The house felt like it was holding its breath, waiting for everyone to come back to life in the morning. 
Jinny laid on the living room floor, turning the events of the day around in her head. Jinny hated silence. It unsettled her. The quiet drone of the tv— still on even though Ophelia was asleep on the couch— mingled with her self-deprecating thoughts.
I shouldn’t have even made Ophelia get on that stupid bike, Jinny thought. She got hurt because of me. Jinny’s thoughts continued to spiral like this until she realized she kept coming back to one thing: Ophelia bled when she scraped her knee. Jinny couldn’t do that.
Sure, it was trivial to mull over the fact that Jinny couldn’t bleed, being a ghost and all, but this fact just felt like yet another barrier between Jinny and her friends. Another piece of evidence that Jinny was only a paranormal puppet, pretending to be like everyone else. Jinny smiled as she came up with yet another immaculate idea. 
I can make myself like them.
 -   -   -
As soon as Jinny saw the morning light stream through the window, she popped up and started to poke Ophelia awake. 
“Rise and shine!” Jinny said in a sing-songy, overly-peppy tone. Ophelia simply responded with a series of grumbles and rolled over. Jinny shrugged off Ophelia’s less-than-friendly greeting. “I’m gonna go out! Be back soon!” 
Jinny had originally planned to bring her friends on her people watching/mimicking mission too; that was, until she realized they’d probably question why she was taking notes on everyone she saw. It’d be better for everyone if Jinny did this particular activity alone.
Jinny bounced out the front door, notepad in hand. She’d already planned out her entire day, from the places she’d go to the weather she’d expect (lacking the ability to sleep well will do that to you). The main place Jinny had planned to go to was the local park. She floated down the street in that direction, passing through the occasional person. 
Jinny arrived at the playground as the sun was approaching its climax. The park was very nice today! The forest encircling the park had a rusty fall time hue. People chattered and wandered like absent-minded mice. Jinny found a bench under a shaded tree and sat. Her leg bounced up and down as she forced herself to focus on the people passing by. 
She noticed a woman in a blue coat, leading an eager child to the swingset. She observed the way the sun’s rays bounced off of the fleshy faces surrounding her. She took note of how the people mingled with each other. How they all seemed to effortlessly fit together.
Jinny heard a mischievous laugh from behind her and whipped around. She saw a group of three older kids, plotting together. 
“We can’t explore the forest now! My sister’s still watching!” The smallest of them squeaked. 
“Oh c’mon! We won’t ever get a chance if we keep stalling! It’s not like she’s paying attention anyway.” The third child ignored the first two, simply reading a book off to the side. 
These kids striked Jinny as eerily like her friends. She wished they were with her right now. As the group ran into the forest, Jinny felt inclined to follow. It wasn’t too creepy if she was looking out for them, right?
Tumblr media
Jinny followed the kids through clearings and thickets, dandelions and thistles. The forest was teeming with life and sound. Birds sang disjointed songs, creatures skittered everywhere, and ferns swayed with the gentle breeze. Jinny knew the kids couldn’t see her, but she found herself occasionally hiding behind  trees anyway. I guess I’m more tense than I thought. Every once in a while, Jinny smiled or giggled to herself when the kids would start bantering with each other.
Jinny found herself distracted by the canopy above her as she floated along. There wasn’t a sun in the Underworld (obviously), so Jinny was endlessly fascinated with how the sunlight danced through different things. Ophelia actually helped her notice this— Ophelia was always realizing little beautiful things around her.
Just as Jinny pulled her thoughts back to reality, she noticed that the quietest of the children was staring straight at her. Or, more accurately, through her. 
“Have you guys been hearing that?” The small girl squeaked, turning around to face her friends. “That rustling sound behind us.”
Jinny looked down and realized she had walked right into the middle of a bush while she was lost in her thoughts. Of course the kids could hear her now!
“Now that you mention it, I’ve been hearing it too.” The adventurous one replied.
Jinny felt an alarm begin to blare in her head. It’d be extremely embarrassing if she was caught by  5th graders! And it’d be even more embarrassing if she had to admit she’d been taking notes on socialization from these 5th graders!
Jinny bolted away from the little adventurers. She knew she was causing a ruckus, but at this point she couldn’t care less.
-   -   -
Jinny phased through the front door, walking in on Ophelia and Albert playing a video game. Ophelia was losing repeatedly, as usual. Jinny felt the shame and embarrassment set in as she approached her friends. She’d definitely have to tell them what she’d been up to now. And Jinny hated talking about stupid sappy emotions!
Albert greeted Jinny as Ophelia threw down her controller in frustration. 
“What the heck have you been up to all day?” He asked with a chuckle. Jinny’s face got uncomfortably warm. With a sigh, she plopped herself down between her friends. No way she could get out of explaining herself now.
“I… I was observing living people because I thought I could be more like you guys.” Jinny fiddled with her fingers. “I know it’s stupid and it wouldn’t work anyway but-”
“What? Why would you do that?” Ophelia asked, her eyebrows furrowed.
“I dunno!”
“Oh. Sorry. I didn’t mean for that to come out so blunt. I was just wondering why you’d do something like that when you’re so awesome already!” Ophelia continued. Jinny further shrinked into herself with the praise.
“I, for one, think being a ghost is cool and sick and tubular.” Albert said. “Tubular” was an… odd choice of words. But the meaning came across the same.
Jinny smiled a little. Now she just felt silly for worrying so much before. Jinny felt love swell up inside her and pulled her friends in for a hug. She thought back on the experiences she’d had with her pals: watching ice cream drip onto the sidewalk, laughing through badly made rom coms, attempting to befriend stray cats. Jinny realized how warm she felt right now. Not temperature wise (Jinny wasn’t even sure she could feel temperature), but warm in an emotional way. 
Jinny had been too wrapped up in mimicry and expectations to realize who she was. But she knew when she found herself, her friends would be waiting with open arms and unending warmth.

Tumblr media
     tiktok had become a more recent obsession of jinnie’s. she admitted, when braveheart first opened its account, she didn’t really get the hype. she only posted when mandated by the company. then sometime around the end of last year, the app had finally sunk its teeth into the maknae. once she discovered how entertaining it could be, there was no going back. months ago, she made a secret account to enjoy her curated ‘for you page’ in peace. she got things ranging from adorable cat videos to silly boyfriend memes that she always sent to minseok. but her favorite part of the app had to be foodtok. the recipes were awesome, and the recommendations were even better. the rose pastry shop, this adorable cafe in the city, had been popping up on her feed for days. content creators insisted it was the perfect place to have a date with a bestie. so naturally, jinnie finally sent the link to mei with an eyes emoji and a question mark — and soon, their plans were made.
    the taxi ride from the hotel wasn’t that long and eventually, the car slowed to a stop in front of the shop. the pink exterior was a welcoming sight, the fairy lights made it appear out of movie. “ we’re here ! ” jinnie exclaimed as the two stepped out of the taxi. she made sure to thank the driver before shutting the car door, smiling as she linked arms with her best friend. the two walked inside the cafe and she realized in that moment, tiktok didn’t do it justice. it was even prettier in person. “ this has to be the cutest thing i’ve ever seen. ” she gushed, her eyes taking in their surroundings. it smelled sweet and everyone inside seemed to be enjoying themselves. she couldn’t wait for the two of them to grab a drink and some treats, and find a nice spot to enjoy the sights. “ today’s on me, meimei~ whatever you want. ”

LiS characters at an Commander/EDH Table Headcanon
A/N: This was originally supposed to be a “What MTG color identity would the LiS 1 characters be?” And then I sat down and went “Lmoa no, this is idea way funnier.” and besides parts of that original HC will inevitably bleed through here. I guess really the only fanon “changes” here would be that I’ll be mentioning cards from FAR past 2013 so ig do whatever mental gymnastics you need to do there. Oh, and we’re supposing that any of the characters could afford to splurge on multiple commander decks. 
Tumblr media
Max Caulfield 
you wouldn’t think it because of how genuinely she just appreciates shuffling up, sitting down, and spending time with the other Blackwell nerds, but Max can and will optimize her decks to a fault. 
It’s less about “competitive viability” and more because she just appreciates brewing highly interactive spell-slinger stuff. 
Has a pet Narset extra turns deck. You cannot convince me otherwise. When it pops off, she definitely excitedly texts Chloe about being “a time master in AND out of game”.
The only person on Earth I would smile at and encourage after I hear the phrase “I cast Expropriate for free. Responses?” 
One of those “I’m addicted to R/U please God help me break out of this archetype” people but is somehow adorkable about it 
Will target you if she picks up even the slightest hint that you’re about to Cyclonic Rift and not just because you’re... you know... casting Cyclonic Rift.
Tumblr media
Chloe Price
Very much loves jank. Something about the “isle of broken toys” triumphing against whatever monstrosity everyone else brought really appeals to her. 
Loves the idea of certain archetypes, but as long as a given list guarantees that she’s playing lots of cards and doing lots of things on her turns, she’ll mainly just build whatever she thinks is cool. 
As a result, Chloe has run Yuriko and Beckett Brass decks in the past. 
“Come on Max, did you really think I’d pass up being able to beat you all with pirates? You already know I'm ALL over that. Ninjas are hella awesome too.” 
It doesn’t hurt that Yuriko can wipe the floor with everyone if they aren’t careful.
Doesn’t gravitate towards a specific color or color combo but plays aggressively in whatever flavor she finds appealing. 
And I do mean AGGRESSIVELY. Chloe loves the serotonin rush of slapping a ton of guys down and then turning them all sideways even if it leaves her open to dying in the next few turns. 
Even if she doesn’t take things super seriously, she will definitely high-key target you in the next game if you fucked her over in the previous one. 
Tumblr media
Kate Marsh
Kate took some convincing that Magic wasn’t some weird ritual since her parents almost certainly forbade her from even learning about it as a kid and filled her head with satanic panic BS.
Once she actually sat in on a game or two (and after Max showed her Rin and Seri), she was able to set her compunctions aside and will show up to game night when her schedule allows.
in the same way Chloe builds what she thinks is cool, Kate definitely builds what she thinks is cute. (*cough* Kwain *cough*)
The first deck she built on her own was almost certainly Jinnie Fay go-wide.
Will cry inside (and honestly maybe a few tears escape on the outside.) if you board wipe. Not because her board presence is gone and she’ll need to rebuild but because you just killed Molly, Holly, Taylor, and every other token she’d given a loving name. 
Tumblr media
Warren Graham
Is THAT combo player. An absolute menace. What else were you expecting?
Maybe it’s just my bias against Warren showing here, but he’s definitely the kind of guy who goes “Oops! I win!” out of nowhere after just playing solitaire in the background for 5-6 turns to set up. 
Still keeps some lower power stuff around in case people get too upset about it though.
Much like Chloe, doesn’t really have a preferred color combo. Unlike Chloe, he builds whatever he can optimize to a disgusting degree. 
Usually wins game 1 pretty easily unless Max stops him but going into game 2 understands that he’s consigned himself to playing archenemy for the rest of the night. 
His pet card is probably fuckin’ mana drain or panharmonicon or some shit idk.
Tune in next time for my thesis on why Victoria would play Queen Marchesa jk.
 ... unless.

Rating books I read this year:
“Red, White, and Royal Blue” by Casey McQuiston. 8/10, I love my dumb American boy with a literal Prince Charming. Don’t care about anything I love it so much I’ve listened to the audiobook 5 times this year.
“Iron Widow” by Xiran Jay Zhao. 10/10. All of this. Perfection. This might as well be a XJZ fan account. Yas Empress let’s destroy the patriarchy 💖
“A Touch of Darkness” by Scarlett St. Clair. 5/10, so many tropes but it’s aight. Decent smut but nothing to write home about. I’m just a sucker for enemies to lovers.
“A Touch of Ruin” by Scarlett St. Clair. 1/10. I hated Persephone and everything was just so… ugh. Bad. Went from questionable and tortured love interest to “I can’t justify this fucking douchebag.” Didn’t finish because it made me so mad.
“She Drives Me Crazy” by Kelly Quindlen. 7/10, cute sapphic YA. Tropes are tropes for a reason. Cute as hell tho.
“Neon Gods” by Katee Robert. 9/10. Tropes are tropes for a reason, love this take on Hades/Persephone. Preferred the smut here to St. Clair’s work, way preferred Persephone’s characterization here (I became a Persephone connoisseur in 2022 I guess.)
“You Go Your Own Way” by Eric Smith. 6/10 Enemies to lovers trope and a dorky main character I kinda identified with. Ending felt rushed but it’s alright. Love the audiobook narration. Very quick read so it’s great for commutes.
“Today, Tonight, Tomorrow” by Rachel Lynn Solomon. 8/10. Literally EVERY trope (well, feels like it) and very pointed “meet cute AU” moments that felt very self aware. Props for well done incidental Jewish rep that bucks stereotypes and doesn’t involve Chanukah.
“The Golem and the Jinni” by Helene Wecker. 10/10. Might be the best book I read this year. A 20 hour audiobook and I listened to it twice in a workweek. It was so good. SO good. Multiple rounded characters. Could be a bit convoluted and confusing toward the end if you weren’t paying attention, but I was so invested. I give this audiobook to people who want to get back into fantasy novels.
“They Went Left” by Monica Hesse. 6/10. Heavy. Good, made me cry, wish a romance hadn’t happened. I disagree with my library insisting this is YA, felt more adult than the “general audience” of “The Golem and the Jinni.” The twist destroyed me. I was a broken person for like 10 minutes working in a laboratory trying not to cry into a beaker. 9 hours but heavy enough to last a while. Would be a good emotional rollercoaster for a long train or plane ride.
“Sweet Ruin” by Kresley Cole. 7/10. It isn’t good, per se, it just gets the rocks off. Decent enough and fun to have a desirable protagonist with an accent like mine.
“The Way of Kings” by Brandon Sanderson. 4/10. I just can’t get into Sanderson. Hot take, I know. Did not finish.
“Gideon the Ninth” by Tamsyn Muir. 10/10, love my funky space lesbians. I recommend this book all the time when someone wants a cheeky protag. The audiobook is awesome. I was SO invested in this and I can’t believe I waited so long to read it.
“The Bone Clocks” by David Mitchell. 6/10. Very well written, I was just struggling to stay engaged with it while working. Some of the lulls made my brain check out and I would miss critical exposition. That said, very complex, great if you want to read waaaaaaay too into a book.
“A Hunger Like No Other” by Kresley Cole. 6/10. Once again, it doesn’t have to be good. It just has to be.
“The Lies of Locke Lamora” by Scott Lynch. 2/10. I hated this fucking book. Hot take in my friend group, especially since I read Rothfuss and Hearne. But I just hated it. I couldn’t get my teeth into it and couldn’t care about the characters. Did not finish.
“No Other Love” by Harper Bliss. 6/10, cute and sweet. Love a short sapphic read. Unremarkable but good.
“The Chosen” by Chaim Potok. 10/10, one of my favorite authors. He just don’t miss. Heavy at points but I love it.
I probably missed some but here we are. Ones I could remember off top.
