A dark attraction (pt 1)

You tried reaching for the book, that was stacked high in the book store, you stood on your tip toes and that didn't help either. Then you felt a chest press up against your back and a hand reach for the book.

Man: Here you go, Miss.

Y/n: Oh...thank you. You replied, with a smile.

Nodding, he turned away to walk away, but you stopped him by grabbing onto his arm.

Y/n: Um...i know I just met you, and it might seem strange to ask but would you like to have coffee with me? I just moved here from America, and you just helped me so...i though it would be only a gesture of showing my gratitude.

Man: Ah...well, I think a coffee would be nice. I'm Seong Yun-o.

Y/n: I'm y/n l/n. Nice to meet you.

Smiling you purchased your book and walked to the nearest coffee show with Yun-o, smiling you didn't know what to do or what to talk about with the guy that you just met.

Yun-o: What made you move to Seoul?

Y/n: My job. They transfered me, to our company here in Seoul.

Yun-o: What is it you do for a living.

Y/n: I'm a fashion designer and a author. And you? You asked, taking a sip of your coffee.

Yun-o: I'm and Architectural designer.

Y/n Wow, that's fascinating. We are looking for someone to design a building for the new property we bought. C...could I have your number? Only if it's not to forward in me asking, it's strickly for business. You said, swallowing hard, and taking another sip of your coffee.

Yun-o: Hahaha, here. This is my business card, and this...is my phone number. I'd like to stay in contact, you seem like a nice person and what harm would it be to get to know more people in Seoul?

Y/n: I guess. Thanks. You smiled, as you bit your lip. I...i should go it's getting late, and I still need to unpack at my apartment.

Yun-o: Do you need a ride? Instead of calling a taxi.

Y/n: I...um...i don't think that'll be a bad thing.

Yun-o: Great. Let's go.

Driving you home, the drive was silent, slightly uncomfortable and yet at the same time felt normal to you. Once you reached the apartment, you saw walking to your side after you got out and smiled down at you.

Yun-o: I would really like to know you better, that's if you wouldn't care about that. He said taking your hand in his, rubbing your knuckles with his thumb.

Y/n: Would...would you like to...mmm, have dinner here tomorrow night? You asked, as you looked down at your hands.

Yun-o: I'd like that. He replied, letting go of your hand, as he walked backwards. See you, tomorrow night. He gave a beautiful alluring smile, and got in his car.

Once you entered the building, Yun-o pulled out his phone and opened his Somebody app. Scrolling through the girl that were interested in him. Smirking he found a girl, and started chatting to her and arranged to meet her tonight. Giving an evil smile, he drove off preparing things for tonight.

As he arrived at the hotel she was staying at, he knocked on the door and was welcomed by the oyung women.

Baya: Hi, please come inside. She Siad, as she moved aside for him to enter.

Yun-o: Why did you want to meet at a hotel, instead of your home?

Baya: My roommate is there, she's only leaving for England the end of the week and since it's Monday I thought it'll be more private.

Yun-o: Does anyone know your here?

Baya: No. And I even booked this room, under a false name and payed cash. It makes this more interesting, don't you think? She asked Yun-o, as she took of his shirt. Meeting in secret, like to people who are forbidden to see one another. Baya said, as she licked his neck.

Yun-o sat on the couch as Baya took off her clothes, nothing but her underwear consealing her. Yun-o smirked as she took off his pants and shirt throwing it to the side. Kissing his chest Baya straddled his lap and started grinding against him, as she moaned hin his neck as she was sucking on his skin.

Yun-o kissed Baya, on the chest as his hands traveled under her bra pushing it off her and sucking on the soft flesh of her collerbone. Moaning in pure ecstasy, Baya grinded harder on Yun-o making him groan in delight. Lifting her from him, he placed her on the couch and revomed both their underwear and started to have sex with her. Baya, pulled him close as she held tightly onto his strong broad shoulders and yelled as they finished.

Looking up at him, she smiled, at Yun-o. Yun-o gave her a psychotic smile and started to hold her mouth and nose shut. Once she was dead, he carried her to the bathroom and placed her down in water as he injected her arm with drugs making it look like an overdose. After getting dressed, he smoothly walked out of the hotel and didn't get noticed at all, when he entered his car he got a ping from his phone and saw you sent him a message. Smirking, he opened up the message, and read it.

*Message*

Y/n:Hi Yun-o, I wanted to know what would you like to eat for dinner out of three options. 1- sweet and sour pork, with fried rice, kimchi and stir fry, 2- hotpot with all the trimmings or 3- takeout?

Yun-o: I'd enjoy anything. But if I'd be honest, I'd love option 1.

Y/n: Option 1 it is😊.

Yun-o: Counting down the minutes and hours, I'm so exited to have dinner with you🌸.

Y/n: Bye, see you then.

Yun-o: Bye.

*End of chat*

Time skip to next day

You sat across from Yun-o, watching as he ate his food that you made. His eyes closed, as he swallowed the food, smiling at you as he looked your way.

Yun-o: This is delicious. You should've been a chef. He laughed, as you shrugged.

Y/n: I did study to be a chef too. But I'm just helping my friend for now. I guess later I'll move out of the fashion industry, and open my own restaurant.

Yun-o: I'd definitely come eat there all the time.

Y/n: Really? You asked, raising your brow.

Yun-o: Yes. He said, as he stood up waling over to you. He turned your chair, and licked your lips.

You opened your mouth in response to his action, and felt his warm tongue gliding into your mouth. His tongue swirled around your mouth, as he drop to his knees and felt him push your legs apart. Pulling his tongue out of your mouth, he swallowed and smiled.

Yun-o: You tast delicious. He said, as he rubbed his thumb over your lips.

You didn't say anything as you felt his hand moving to your skirt. Pulling it off as you lifted yourself slightly off the chair. You felt his lips connect to your ankles, moving his way up your legs. Your breath hitched in your throat, but as soon as he got closer to your private area, you pulled his head up.

Y/n: STOP. You said fast, as you pulled his face up. We...we only just met yesterday.

Yun-o: That doesn't matter. He said, kissing your knee when you stopped him again.

Y/n: I...i don't...Yun-o, I really like you.

Yun-o: I like you too. He said, rubbing his hands on your legs making you shiver.

Y/n: T...that's...mmm-No. You held onto his hand, and looked into his eyes. I like you since I met you, I felt connected to you in a way that I've never felt before with anyone. I felt that I could...i could feel safe with you around. You said, as he smirked.

Yun-o: Really? If you feel that way, why won't you allow me to carry on?

Y/n: I...i don't know. I just, haven't been with a man since my divorce.

Yun-o: You were married? He asked, as you placed your hands on his shoulders. What happened.

Y/n: I...i caught him cheating on me. We were only married two weeks.

Yun-o: How did you find out?

Y/n: Our honeymoon. You said, looking at him.

You both started laughing, as you said that. Shaking your head you placed your hand on his cheek, stroking it softly.

Y/n: I guess I'm just...scared of getting hurt again. So, that's why I can't do this. I'm sorry.

Yun-o: What gives you the idea, that I'll hurt you? You can trust me. He said, as he kissed your foread, right eye, nose, cheek and lips.

Yun-o softly kissed you as he moved forward slightly, as his hand held onto your neck you could feel the strong hold he had on your neck which made it feel safe. You placed your hands on his shoulders as you reciprocated the kiss, this felt different, this felt like it was right. Throwing your arms around his shoulders, you felt Yun-o pick you up carrying you to bedroom. Breathing in, you watched as he took off his shirt, and pants leaving him in only his black fit underwear. Sitting up, you took off your shirt looking eyes with his as he hovered over you connecting your lips. Yun-o hand traveled up your stomach to your chest, as he messaged it causing you to moan.

Y/n: Yun-o-

Yun-o: Mmm. He hummed, as he started sucking on your neck.

Y/n: I...ugh... You cut yourself off as you turned your head lightly and sucked on his neck causing him to groan.

Yun-o pulled back and stood up taking off his underwear and yours. Now you were both completely naked, Yun-o slowly put on his condom and pushed himself in as he kept eye contact. You nodded your head, telling him you were ready which he instantly took as a go.

He started off with slow, steady movements and caressed your skin as he pushed into you. Yun-o, flipped you over making you stradle him and bounce ontop of him. He smirked up at you as he saw the sweat forming on your face, and how your face would change out of pure pleasure. Sitting up, Yun-o held onto you and moved to the edge of the bed with you still on his lap. He pulled you by the waist whispering in your ear, that he wanted you to bounce faster on him. Doing so, you ft strange since you hadn't had sex like this before, or even had sex after your diver two years ago...this felt amazing it felt different and normal to you. It felt as though it was an experiment that you wanted to try, yet something that's so natural to many people. As you thought about these things, Yun-o placed his mouth on your nipple and started sucking it causing you to feel even hotter than before, he licked his way up and sucked on your collerbone as he reached your mouth he connected you both with a kiss.

You started moaning in the kiss, breathing heavily as his tongue fought with yours for dominance. Holding him closer, you both bounced faster, and harder into each other making your curl your arms around him and his run your hands in his hair.

Y/n: Yun-o....agh...ahh...y...yes...ah

Yun-o: Mm...ah...ugh...just like that. F...faster.

After a few more second you both came, and you collapsed against his chest. Breathing heavily Yun-o could feel your chest rise and fall against his,lifting you off him he took off the condom and threw it in the bin. Walking over to you he got into your bed laying next yto you. You both were facing each other and he pulled you closer, as he kissed you forehead, you laid your head between his chest and neck.

Y/n: This feels nice. You whispered at the warm feeling of his body holding yours.

You fell asleep after saying that, and Yun-o looked down at you and thought to himself. There was no way he could kill you. There was something about you that was different than the others, you were hurt too, you've been cheated on, had to change your whole life and you were to afraid to even do this until he convinced you otherwise. He felt sincerety towards you, he was completely drawn to you. He wanted to protect you, and not kill you, he wanted to learn how to cook with you and have sex with you all over your apartment and more.

Could be that one person that he felt worth living?

Daily Dose of Sunshine

TV Shows/Dramas watched in 2023

Daily Dose of Sunshine (2023, South Korea)

Directors: Lee Jae Kyu & Kim Nam Su

Writers: Lee Nam Gyu, Oh Bo Hyun & Kim Da Hee (based on the webtoon by Lee Ra Ha)

Mini-review:

When I heard this drama was coming out, I got a bit worried, since k-dramas don't have the best track record when it comes to handling this topic. Thankfully, this show's team mostly pulled it off. Sure, it falls into stereotypes from time to time, but its focus is always on empathy, acceptance and tolerance. It really tries to make the viewer understand how hard and undeservedly misunderstood mental illnesses are. For better or worse, that also means the drama doesn't shy away from showing the darkest parts of these illnesses, so please be very careful if this topic is triggering for you, cause there are a lot of hard-to-watch scenes. In terms of acting, the entire cast is great, especially the actors playing the patients, and Park Bo Young. In fact, this might arguably be her career's crowning achievement. The one thing I didn't really like were the romantic parts. I just didn't care for any of the romances, and the show would've been better off without them. Anyway, Daily Dose of Sunshine surprised me by handling a complex topic in a much more humane and hopeful way that I expected.

Alchemy of Souls (Part 1 & 2)

This is definite another favorite of mine; right next to Scarlet Heart Ryeo. Alchemy of Souls & Alchemy of Soul: Light and Shadow tell the story a young group of mage who have to fight against the greed of soul shifters and the sorcerous that conjure the spell. The story has a perfect balance of humor, action, romance, and suspense in a beautifully threaded plot.

The story begins with Naksu, a powerful female assassin, who wants to avenge the murder of her father as she follows her master's orders. And Jang Ok trying to unlock the power within him in his quest to becoming the mage everyone is trying to prevent him to become because of the truth of his birth. These two meet when Jang Ok has left his last master and she has shifted to the body of a blind girl in order to escape death. But she is no longer the powerful mage she had been, now that she is trapped in this body and in order to regain her power, she accepts becoming Jang Ok's master disguised as servant.

These two lives are entwined in a tangle of intrigue, misunderstanding and friendships that are strengthened and forged as Naksu as Mu Deok and Jang Ok walk the challenging terrain to make Jang Ok reach the highest level of a mage.

I fell in love with the characters, their personalities, their struggles and feelings. The end of the first part broke my heart.

The second part starts 3 years after Mu Deok's death and Jang Ok's returning from the afterlife with the ice stone. Jang Ok who is surrounded by shadows, and the pain of losing the love of his life, has become the most powerful mage and carries the responsibility of destroying soul shifters. Meanwhile, the two souls that had co-existed in Mu Deok's body are now enclosed in Naksu's body. But this time, both souls have lost their memories and powers and are imprisoned in the Jinyowon household. It is through Jin Bu Yeon's interaction with Jang Ok and the others that she slowly regains her powers and memories. In this last part, the youth come together to defeat the greed and selfishness of the king, queen, and everyone who sought to gain power through the alchemy of souls and the ice stone.

This series was definitely worth the wait! I recommend it to everyone. I will be thinking about this story for a long time. I know I will be watching this one multiple times.

2019 (55th) BaekSang Arts Awards - May 1, 2019

Best Actor (Lee Byung-Hun)

Son zamanlarda izlediğim diziler ile kıyaslanmayacak tek kelime ile mükemmel bir diziydi. Güney Kore’nin en başarılı senaristlerinden Kim Eun Sook’un kaleminden çıkan unutulmaz bir hikaye. Daha nasıl anlatayım ne diyeyim bilmiyorum. Kim Eun Sook dizileriyle birçok kez kendini kanıtlamış bir senarist. Secret Garden, Descendants of The Sun, Goblin, The King: Eternal Monarch gibi dizilere imza atmış. Ne kadar övülse az diye düşünüyorum.

Bu dizi için çekimler başladığında başrol oyuncusu Lee Byung-Hun için bir sürü olumsuz eleştiri varmış. Kendisi Kore dışında tanınan nadir oyunculardan olduğu için birçoğuna sanırım Kore dizisinde oynaması garip gelmiş. Ama rol tam anlamı ile onun için yazılmıştı. Ben yine pırıl pırıl bir kafayla bütün bu dedikoduları bilmeden 2018 dizisini 2022 de izledim. Mis gibide oldu. Zaten o zamanlar izleseymişim, bu kadar kore dizisi izleyemezmişim diye düşünüyorum. Bu diziden sonra uzun bir ara bir şey izlemeye elim gitmedi. Lee Byung-Hun’un da biraz dedikodusunu yapacak olursam, kendisi Song Joong Ki’nin eski eşi Song Hye Kyo ile bir süre beraber olduktan sonra yürütememiş, aşkı Lee Min Jung’da bulup evlenmiş. Daha sonrasında karısı ile birtakım olaylar yaşanmasından dolayı medyaya düşmüş. Bu tarz olaylarda Kore’de hemen linç yenildiği için uzunca bir süre sevilmemiş. Buna rağmen Oskar ödül töreni sunan ilk Koreli oyuncudur.

Başrolü 3 erkek 2 kadın gibi düşünüyor olabilirsiniz ama çok yanılıyorsunuz. Dizideki herkes başroldü. Yok abartmıyorum. Dizideki heeerkes başroldü. Dizi bittikten sonra kalitesiz bir yapım izleyemeyeceksiniz. Bir nevi sizin zevkinize de level atlatacak. İlerleyen günlerde zevkiniz tekrar körelebilir, panik yapmayın.

Köle bir ailede dünyaya gelen Choi (Lee Byung-Hun) 5-6 yaşlarındayken ailesinin öldürülmesine şahit olur ve kaçar. Bir şekilde çok küçük yaşta Amerika’ya gitmeyi başarır. Orada orduya katılır ve Amerikan askeri olarak ileriki yaşlarında ülkesine görev icabı gönderilir. Ama geldiği yer, küçükken kaçtığı yer değildir. Ülke dört bir yandan kuşatılmış, farklı milletlerin sömürgesi halinde yaşanmaktadır. Dizinin konusu aslında Joseon'un dört bir taraftan kuşatıldığı bir dönemde, bağımsızlık Ordusunu anlatıyor. Kıyısından köşesinden gerçek insanlara gerçek olaylara dayanan bu hikaye daha en başından üzücü bir hikaye olduğunu bas bas bağırıyordu.

Eugene Choi gelir gelmez bağımsızlık ordusunun bir ferdi olan Go Ae-Shin(Kim Tae-Ri) ile karşılaşır. Ae-Shin o sırada suratında bir maske elinde bir silah ile çatılarda koşuyordur. Bu karşılaşma onların kaderini de yazmış olur. O sırada sahneye benim favori karakterim giriş yapar. Gu Dong-Mae (Yoo Yeon-Seok) kasap dedikleri en alt tabaka bir aileye sahip olan bu genç adam. Aynı Choi gibi küçük yaşta ülkesinden kaçmak zorunda kalmış. Amerika değil de Japonya’ya sığınmış. Bir şekilde tekrar ülkesine dönmüş ama o da Ronin olarak dönmüş. Ronin’ler “sahibi olmayan samuray”lar bir nevi kiralık katiller. Aslında Kore’nin alt tabasından kaçıp Japonya’nın alt tabası olarak büyümüş. Kılıçları bellerinde, sokakta yürüdüklerinde herkesin çekildiği korkutucu tiplerden biri olmuş. Gong-Mae, Ae Shin’i küçüklüğünden hatırlamaktadır. Küçükken ona yardım ettiği için hem minnet duyar hem de “lütfettin” ��eklinde bir öfke besler.  

Go Ae-Shin aslında asil bir aileden gelmektedir. Bağımsızlık ordusunda olduğunu ailesi bilmediği için ikili bir hayat yaşamak zorundadır. Henüz kundaktayken işgalciler tarafından ailesi öldürülür. Onu dedesi büyütür ama asıl onun yanından hiç ayrılmayanlar hizmetindeki Ms. Haman(Lee Jung-Eun) ve  Mr. Haengrang(Shin Jung-Keun) ‘dır. Lee Jung-Eun’a ekstra bayılırım. Aklınıza gelebilecek bütün güzel dizilerde kendisine denk gelebilirsiniz. Oh My Ghost , Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-Joo, Fight for My Way, Familiar Wife,  When the Camellia Blooms , Law School, Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha, Soundtrack 1, Our Blues… diye oldukça uzun devam edebilirim. Ayrıca burada parantez açıyorum. Go Ae-Shin ailesi kalp kalp kalp. Babası Go Sang-Wan(Jin Goo), annesi ise Kim Hui-Jin(Kim Ji-Won)’dur. Bu çiftimiz “Descendants of the sun” dizisinde severek izlediğimiz ikinci çiftti. Kısacık, geçmişi gösterirken de olsa onları tekrar bir arada görmek şahaneydi. Konuk oyuncunun bile hakkını vermişler. Parantezi kapatıyorum. Soylu bir aileden geldikleri için kendileri gibi soylu başka bir ailenin oğlu ile Ae-Shin’i nişanlamışlardır. Nişanlısı Kim Hui-Seong(Byun Yo-Han) ise okumak için Japonya’ya gitmiş, 10 yılı aşkın bir süredir ise orada kalmış. Ailesinin ısrarları sonucu o da ülkesine geri döner.

Böylece sahne 3 erkek ile tamamlanır. Başta söylediğim 2. kadına gelirsek. Hem Amerika askerinin hem de Japon askerlerinin konaklamasına açık olan tarafsız bölge niteliğinde bir otel mevcut. Otelin sahibi ölünce dul kalan karısı Hina Kudo(Kim Min-Jung) işleri devralarak tek başına dev kadro olmuş. Aslında küçük yaşta babası tarafından zengin bir Japon iş adamına satılan bu güçlü kadın, aslen Koreli olduğu için kocası ölünce hem memleketine dönmüş hem de kocasının nüfusunu ve parasını kullanarak tarafsız bir alan yaratmış.

Başroldeki Kim Tae-Ri ile ona eşlik eden Lee Byung-Hun arasında 20 yaş fark olmasının izlerken sizi bir kere bile rahatsız etmeyeceğinin garantisini verebilirim. Çünkü dizi fiziksel temasın çok daha ötesinde aşklar anlatıyor. Hem bu kadar yalın hem de bu kadar çok katmanlı bir hikaye anlatmasına rağmen dizi çıktığı dönem çok fazla eleştirilmiş. Bir kısım yakışıklı Ronin’imiz nedeni ile Japonları sevdirmeye çalışılıyor demiş, kimileri Amerika sempatizanlığı yapılıyor demiş. Kimi de tarihi yanlış aktarıyorlar demiş. Ağzı olan konuşmuş. İnanın bütün bu dedikodular, karalamalar dizinin muhteşemliğinden hiçbir şey değiştirmemiş.

Görüntü yönetmeninden sahne dekora, sanat yönetmeninden ışıkçısına kadar herkes dörtdörtlük bir iş çıkarmış. Her bölümün sonunda izleyiciye bir sanat eseri hediye ettiler. Sahne durup müzik girdiği an, ekrandaki görsel şölen inanılmazdı. Her biri screenshot alınıp üzerine saatlerce konuşulabilir anlamlar içeriyordu. Aynı zamanda tablo gibiydiler. Duvarına assan sanat eseri olmadığını kimse söyleyemez. Sinematografisi enfesti. Abartıyormuşum gibi gelebilir ama istisnasız her bölüm mükemmel açılarla ve görsellikle çekilmişti.

3 farklı adamın imkansıza yakın aynı kızı sevmesi ve sizin bile aralarında seçim yapamamanız başarıyı tekrar tekar gözler önüne seriyordu. Ve biz bu 3 adamın bromans’ını izledik. Bence dizinin en güzel sahneleriydi. Üçlünün her seferinde aynı anda içmeye gitmeleri ve aynı masada buluşmaları, hesabın hep Eugene’e kitlenmesi. Dong Mae’nin diğer ikisini öldürmekle tehdit edip sürekli “sizi nasıl keseyim, yatay mı dikey mi” diye sorması. En az aşkları kadar imkansız olan arkadaşlıkları da çok güzeldi.

Konuk oyuncusundan ana kadrosuna kadar o kadar isminden bahsedemediğim kişi var ki… Her birini alkışlıyorum. Ciddi anlamda “bu da gereksiz olmuş” diyebileceğiniz tek bir oyuncu bile yoktu. Bütün karakterler tek tek hikayeye dahil edilmiş, dolu dolu yazılmıştı. Ayrıca bu kadar kaos bir dönemde, bu kadar çok sesli bir ortamı canlandırırken oyuncuların 3 dili de akıcı bir şekilde konuşmaları takdir edilesiydi. Tarih derslerini hiç sevmezdim ama bu dizi küçük bir tarih dersi olmasına rağmen dizinin bu yönünü bile sevdim. O dönem, inanların vatan sevgisi, birlik beraberlikleri, mücadeleleri belki de bu kadar mükemmel yapan şey gerçek olmalarıydı.

Sonuç olarak dizinin sizde çok uzun süre etki bırakacağını bilerek başlayın. Sulu gözlüyseniz daha yarısına gelmeden içiniz çıka çıka ağlayacağınızı, yok ben duygusal insan değilim diyorsanız son 4 bölümde hüngür şakır ağlayacağınızı bilerek başlayın. Bütün karakterlere aşık olacağınızı, kötüleri gördükçe katil iç güdülerinizin bedeninizden çıkmaya çalışacağını bilin.

Tek kelimeyle bir baş yapıt bence. 10 üzerinden 10.

DANCING WITH YOU UNDER THE MOONLIGHT 🌙 (SNOWDROP FANFICTION ONE SHOT)

On a Spring Day in 1987, when all of us were busy as College Students, I never knew that one day, after a cold freezing long night in Winter my life turns upside down when I fell in love with Lim Soo-ho and an unforgettable love I've been wishing for or envied for every Valentine's day happened; an intelligent, good-looking with refreshing smile young man was finally in front of me. He may look untouchable, but I never knew there will be a time that I can hold him in my arms until our last moments. Those moments I wish I could go back and some moments I wish it was different.

"Which University will you be in now?" My co-professor asked me as I am packing all my things into the faculty.

"Hosu Women's University," I answered with a bitter smile on my face. It's been the first time since I'm going to step out of this University in Incheon.

I was stuck in teaching like it became my prison and the only thing I've been doing in my life was my job at University and being alone in my apartment. Start then repeat, just keep on playing back--a never-ending cycle until I felt cold-blooded. I never knew this would be so hard.

After I collected all my things and put them in boxes, I decided to get in my car. I look at myself in the mirror and started to see my wrinkly eyes that have been so tired these days, plus do I ever tell you? It's been 20 years have passed and it's 2007 already.

On a long way drive, I started to look at the surrounding area, everything drastically changes from what they were before and each street I passed by came to be a recollection of something-something nostalgic, more likely happy days or depressing days.

I halted my car exactly near Rome Café, which amazingly still has the same name after two decades. I grabbed my shoulder bag and closed the door of my car before I moved in a different route. I took a deep breath and opened the door of Evergreen Bookstore. I clasped the cassette tape in my hands and walk toward the Music Room. Luckily, I had a chance to spend my time alone as my hands are in shivered while putting the tape on the radio. Rewind and move backward--let's go back from the start.

"Young-Ro..." I heard his gentle voice and this time my tears are falling down my cheeks, that's why I decided to close my eyes, "It's been 20 years," I mumbled and started to sob a little louder.

I heard gunshots in my head, a deafening scream, and blood on my shirt as I am holding you in my arms. I held my chest trying not to remember what happened but a sudden light shifted in my head and the image became so clear--your smile, your beautiful face, and your wonderful voice. It won't stop playing back and forth in my mind.

"I wish you were here," I whispered as the tape keeps on playing, "If this is a nightmare just wake me up," I whispered again and my tears won't stop falling.

"Lim Soo-ho," I mumbled until I slowly open my eyes. The sunlight started to be almost blinding and I can't look directly—everything seems unclear.

Choo, choo train

Truckin' down the track

Gotta travel on it.

Never comin' back

Ohh... Got a one-way ticket to the blues

Hey? What's happening? Why the tape suddenly changes on its own? Wait... what am I wearing right now? I look at myself more, the way I am wearing my clothes, my wavy long hair, and the classic purse on my shoulders. "Am I dreaming?" I said while pinching my cheeks suddenly someone gently patted my shoulders which makes me jump from where I am standing. My eyes get widened and started to grip the headset on my ears. I think the store owner noticed me crying and I've been here for a long time—I should apologize.

"Ahhmm...I'm sorry..." My eyes get widened more as I've seen someone familiar. My eyes almost get blinded by the lights again.

"Hey, Young-Ro... are you okay?" he asked me. Lim Soo-ho asked me. I'm dreaming, right?

"I'M DREAMING...RIGHT?" I shouted unintendedly and my tears are falling again. I noticed his face confused and he began to survey his eyes from those people peeking at us.

"Young-Ro what is happening to you?" he asked me again before he grabbed my hands toward the exit.

He surveyed me again and he started to giggle when I'm still confused while my eyes are still swollen, "Hey, Young-Ro...are you still mad at me?" he asked me before he fixed my hair that was on my face.

"I told you I was busy last week and I'm sorry about what happened when you waited for nothing," he told me and my face makes a confusing expression more overreacting.

"What?" I asked but when he was about to respond; I get panicked when I sighted a police officer holding his folder like he was finding someone.

"Hide!" I screeched and he arcs his eyebrows more, "Huh? Why should I?" he asked me and I started to hug him tightly when the officers passed by.

"Hey, Young-Ro you are confusing and scaring me, what is happening to you? We're almost dating for 7 months now and this is the first time you acted like that..."

"Date? WHAT? WE ARE DATING?" I shouted and people surrounding us laughed at me. Soo-ho's eyes rapidly move again.

Young-Ro do want to go to the hospital?" he asked me placing his palms on my forehead and I felt my cheeks warming.

"We're dating, since the day I met you... did you just pick up my pen?" Pen? It should be a paper plane why did I pick up the pen? Did Boon-Ok get his item?

"I already told you I changed my item because I've seen that odd lady peeking at us that's why I exchanges mine secretly. We even went to the park after that, we even went to watch movies... isn't it? It's just 7 months has been passed... why did you forget about it?" my eyes opened widely once again because of what he said and I slowly touched his face. I controlled my tears and began to open my mouth to ask him a question.

"Where you came from... Soo-ho," I calmly asked him and I heard him scoffed before he exhibited his smile again.

"Daebang-dong... Did I mention that already? I already told you too I studied in Berlin and now I'm taking a master's at Pyeongtaek University--that's why I'm busy last week and I know you are still mad at me," he said and smiled a little before reaching out for my hand and hold it tightly.

"Aren't we going to Amusement Park?" he happily said and my mind are still fuzzy, that's why my knees started to get weak. When I'm about to bend my knees he instantly catches me up.

"Young-ro!" he exclaimed and suddenly his wallet fall on the ground and the pigeon necklace was on my neck. My heart started to rise when I'm about to pick up his wallet and I saw our picture inside.

"Open House," I whispered, "You went to the Open House?" I asked him while my heart was beating fast.

"Of course I did, you invited me in there," he gently told me and helped me to stand up straight, "One-way ticket!" he awkwardly sang while charmingly raising his fist.

"We've danced that aren't we?" he reminded while he's chuckling and that makes me smile. As my head was still down he carefully raises my head with his warm hands, "You sure you're okay?" he assured me and I just nodded my head to answer.

"We're going to be late," he said and held my hand before we decided to walk without hesitations on this street. I don't want to ask anymore what is happening and if this is a dream, I'm going to make this all worth it—all I care about right now is finally I am here with you.

We finally step into the Amusement park and he happily runs while he is holding my hand. I'm so happy to see Soo-ho like this, with his smile, his gentle eyes, and his handsome features. I'm so happy that they are all mine. We walk through the valleys of this place, the sweet smell and taste from the stall we were stopping by stamped on my head, especially, the sound of his laugh, his scent, and the warmth of his shoulders I am holding all this time. "If this is a dream please don't wake me up," I whispered and the night seems approaching. My chest started to get lighter and I can't help to feel anxious.

After a while, as the night became deeper, he brought out something beneath his cream-colored blazer and I saw a cassette tape along with a cassette player on it.

"Shall we dance?" he offered me before standing up in front of me. He places the headset on my ears and I slowly stand up while holding his hand. I heard the intro from the cassette and the acoustic song started to get louder in my ears.

He keeps me closer to him while he is caressing my waist. My hands are gently on his shoulders before I embrace the back of his neck. He slowly put the headset on my neck and he smiled as the moonlight shone upon us.

"If this is only a dream, I'd wish I never woke up because reality will be meaningless without you,"

He gently said to me and my tears finally fell from my eyes but before I could say anything else; he suddenly pulled me closer and closer—then I could feel the warmth on his lips and my heart started to rise in my chest. I began to feel that my heart is aching so badly.

"Eun Young-Ro...I love you,"I heard his voice again and I hastily open my eyes when the cassette tape stops.

There was a moment of silence before I heard the tape click loudly. My hands were shaking and I noticed two rings on my index finger. But when I'm about to raise my head I glimpse someone sitting in front of me—I just realized that I am sitting at Rome Café. When the sunlight became serene I finally saw him as he is building the tower of matches. I smiled gently as I saw his face, "Are you okay now?" he asked me and offered me to drink a cup of hot coffee.

"Take a sip, it will erase all bad memories," he said before he smiled gently.

I saw him looking at me while the smoke of steaming coffee came to my face and when I took a sip of it I heard him laugh a little.

"Let's go home? Kids are waiting for us," he reminded me and I just nodded my head. He lends his hands and I quickly take it before he mends his guitar on his shoulder.

"Eun Young-Ro...I love you," he said to me and that makes me stop walking while letting go of his hand. As I can see his back, he slowly glances in my direction and we gently smile at each other.

"Come walk with me," he sweetly offered his hand again and we walked together.

I never hesitate to accept it again and then the music became louder in my ears again. Rewind and move backward——let's go back from the start.

pyramid game is such a perfect little drama for the sapphics because you've got a whole demented psychological thriller going on about high school girls creating a whole fake social class system that results because one bored little princess bitch thought it'd be funny, and you've got all these dynamics that can only be boiled down to some kind of love story because like. ye lim and eun jeong's dynamic? the princess idol and her athlete bodyguard. soo ji and ja eun's dynamic? the cold mastermind and the compassionate heart. even whatever da yeon and seol ha have got going on? typical hitter and loyal dog dynamic. the list can go on.

Solo Leveling werewolf AU!

If we have AUs such as Mafia and Vampire, why not Werewolf AU?

Other ideas are greatly appreciated!<3

SHADOW BLOODHOUNDS

> led by Sung Il-hwan, the Alpha.

> werewolves with black fur are rare, so it's no surprise that Sung Il-hwan soon became the leader of the pack.

> the name "Shadow Bloodhounds" was originated from a family of werewolves, who had dark reddish-brown fur, and the shadow term came from how the members frequently lurked in the shadows for surprise attacks. And since Sung Il-hwan became the Alpha, plus his wolf form being a black wolf, the name became stronger and prominent.

> Sung Il-hwan's son, Sung Jin-woo, is the Beta. Like his father, his wolf form also has a black fur. This became a big shock to the entire pack, especially when they saw their Alpha's son transform for the first time.

> before becoming the Beta when he reached 20, Sung Jin-woo had to fight the former Beta — as per tradition among all wolf packs. Despite being the "weakest" due to his birth, Jin-woo managed to win by sheer determination and since he became his father's second-in-command, he became stronger overtime.

> if he's not doing any werewolf duties, Sung Il-hwan runs a fire department, which he also works as a firefighter. He also holds urgent meetings in the station once everyone else is out. Sung Jin-woo, however, has chosen to be a detective rather than a firefighter like his father.

> Jin-woo is secretly the only member in the pack who has killed a human. Although, he never tells it to anyone.

> known members: Park Kyung-hye, Sung Jin-ah, Yoo Jin-ho, Yoo Soo-hyun, Lee Ju-hee, Han Song-yi, Kang Tae-shik, and Kim Sang-shik.

CRIMSON FANGS

> led by Choi Jong-in, the Alpha.

> unlike Sung Il-hwan, Choi Jong-in came from a heritage of Alphas and Betas. His father was an Alpha and his mother was a Beta. Thus, they led the pack together, as well as running a law firm, which soon fell into Jong-in's hands when he took his rightful place in the pack.

> for his Beta, Jong-in chose Cha Hae-in, who is his close friend since childhood. But not only that, she's also the fastest wolf in the pack and has the strongest smell, so it'll make sense of why he picked her of all strong werewolves in the pack.

> even though a werewolf's eyesight is sharp, Jong-in wears his glasses to shape himself into being a human. But when he's in his wolf cycle, his eyeglasses are taken off as they might break during his transformation.

> when there's a wolf cycle, it's also hunting season for the werewolf packs. Jong-in and Hae-in plot the strategy and divide their pack into two, sometimes three if their target is a larger herd.

> known members: Song Chi-yul, Son Ki-hoon, Gina, Seo Ji-woo, Lee Bora, and Han Se-mi.

RAVEN HOWLERS

> led by Lim Tae-gyu, the Alpha.

> usually, whenever there's a large flock of ravens, all of the Raven Howlers are gathered. Ravens also serve as the Eagle Eye of the pack, alerting the Alpha if anything dire happens.

> Ma Dong-wook used to be the Alpha, but due to some unforeseen circumstances, he stepped down and switched places with Lim Tae-gyu, who was the Beta at that time.

> during the wolf cycle, the entire pack will howl under the bright full moon whilst the ravens swirl in the air. It is a tradition for summoning more luck in the pack.

> while most wolves don't like to have birds resting on them, Tae-gyu happily lets the ravens rest on his fur however as they want, especially in winter.

> Tae-gyu also relies on Eun-seok, who serves as his "back-up" since he's quick to lunge into action or if someone is going to attack the Alpha from behind.

> known members: Eun-seok, Jung Ye-rim, Lee Min-sung, and Park Jong-soo.

BERSERK CLAWS

> led by Baek Yoon-ho, the Alpha.

> some believed that Yoon-ho came from a lineage that bore strong connection to Rakan.

> Yoon-ho is a fierce werewolf, lethal in his heavy claws. He's one of the biggest werewolves when transformed, but even in his human form, he can crush a head with his own bare hands.

> Park Hee-jin is his chosen Beta. She's a she-wolf with an impeccable sense for danger, she reads the situation quick and carefully, and her guts are as sharp as her mind. She's able to tell when a situation is not good and informs her leader firsthand before forming her own strategy.

> Min Byung-gyu, Yoon-ho's best friend, had once been offered for the rank of the Beta. However, he rejects it as he doesn't think leadership is his forte. And even then, he's one of the strongest wolves and protects his fellow members.

> Yoon-ho has a reputation of killing his own kind, making him fearsome that even some of his members are cowering on him.

> while the rest work in teams, Yoon-ho usually hunts alone as his strength is merely for taking down large animals.

> known members: Kim Chul and Ahn Sang-min.

CRESCENT GUARDIANS

> led by Go Gun-hee, the Alpha.

> Woo Jin-chul is his second-in-command.

> like black-furred werewolves, white-furred werewolves are also rare. And Go Gun-hee is the oldest living white-furred wolf, as well as the oldest active Alpha when most would retire before reaching his age.

> Go Gun-hee doesn't always go for action, mainly because he's looking after his strength, so he relies on his Beta for the task.

> Go Gun-hee is the most respected Alpha besides Sung Il-hwan.

> they're the only pack who has been recognized by other packs outside the country.

> Woo Jin-chul once took down an entire group of rogues, showing his formidability after they attempted to raid the pack.

> known members: ————

Other notes:

— pack wars are a thing, though not as frequent unlike decades ago.

— it is believed that Rakan, a beast entity who can turn into a human, had started the race by cursing several humans to continue his legacy and increase population.

— there are werewolves called 'Rogues' — it's when a werewolf is banished from their pack.

— there are certain outfits/fabrics that don't get ripped apart when shifting, rather they just disappear in the process.

— during the wolf cycle, all packs run to the mountains for camping — some build their own little houses deep in the woods, far from the human civilization. It is a coincidence if they stumble upon other packs.
