#Pink diamonds in Sydney

[dollya-robinprotector]

Hello !

What are your thoughts on a Houseki No Kuni au of the DOL characters ? Whitney and Sydney would likely be diamonds . However, it would be funny to imagine Whitney as something below 5 hardness ..

Just some musings

oooooohhh you are asking the right person because I freaking love HnK lol. I never thought about it but surely Whit as something below 5 is truly hilarious

I personally think Sydney as something similar to Rutile is funny too, they're hard and can fight, but prefer to stick with paperwork and fix other gems when they're broken. When they have to fight thou, ho boi, they're scarier than Moonies or even Sensei.

Kylar can be none other than obsidian to me, they're obsessed with making blades and so eager to fight. They break pretty often thou and prefer to fix themselves if they can help it cuz they hate both Syd and Robin lol. They wanted to be PC' partner, if they couldn't they would act alone. Their ahoge is often missed when everyone collects their shards, so they always come back to that location later and find it by themselves.

And Robin, even though they're pretty hard they're clumsy and often break their partner while fighting too, so they step back and prefer to be a somewhat collector/nurse. They help out around the school and try not to be a burden, and nobody thinks they are a burden. But deep inside they always feel somewhat guilty because harder gem like they should be out fighting, not their partner PC.

PC as Rhodochrosite is my personal fav. In my language, Rhodochrosite is often called "Pink Flowers Stone", and it easily fades its color. But they're eager to fight too, and because they're so soft they often break pretty bad so their partner Robin have to fix them. "Gems with low hardness like me have nothing but courage." and then they're captured by Moonies and leave their partner Robin, heart-broken and shattered by themselves LOL.

Whitney is still a meanie, a standoff fish, foul-mouthed, maybe like Bortz, so they prefer to act alone and don't want any partner. They hate hibernation too. They think every other gem is weak and soft and not worth fighting alongside them, but really I think maybe they had captived partners before so they don't wanna lose anyone dear to them anymore. I think would be fun if they secretly enjoyed the moon pups and tried to sneak one away to keep as a pet. Think about it.

BIG FISH: Felix

LOCATION: Sydney, Australia

The bright exterior lighting of the National Gallery of Australia illuminates the large cubic architecture as luxurious vehicles loop around the grounds. The press and various auspicious guests visit the national gallery for an opulent auction hoping to obtain some of the world’s most desired art. Ruby is gorgeously draped in a bright red satin gown, the material hugging her frame perfectly as she accompanied one of the wealthiest guests of the evening. A man with long blonde hair, neatly pinned back to compliment the sleekness of his tailored suit has Ruby draped on his arm with the goal of purchasing some art for his new estate.

As the pair walked up the front step of the building, they were directed into a large, elegant space with soaring ceilings and large windows overlooking the Sculpture Garden for a pre-auction cocktail. Ruby smiled brightly as Felix excused himself to the open bar, seeking drinks for him and his date before the lengthy auction began. 

Ruby took a moment to glance around the large hall, spotting the most theatrical member of their trio on the opposite end of the room with a tray of champagne flutes balanced on her palm. Emmy was sporting a timid smile as she greeted various guests. She had a white button-down shirt adorning her torso, the fabric tucked within the tight pencil skirt of her uniform as she served the drinks on her tray. She shifted her weight from side to side, feeling uncomfortable in the matching heels as the pointed tip constricted her toes. 

Emmy’s eyes found Ruby, feeling envious of her current position as she watched Felix swoop in to offer her a glass of wine. Emmy rolled her eyes as this was the second time she was forced to step down from her usual role of romancing their victims. “We better score this time.” She grumbled under her breath, hearing Jade’s frantic voice on the opposite end of her earpiece. 

“Don’t worry. I have it all under control.” Jade walked out from the large theater that was currently prepared for the presentation, ready to auction away artworks of notorious painters and sculptors. She had a headset tucked around her left ear while the connecting earpiece to her team was hidden in her right. She held an iPad in her hand with the itinerary for the night, maintaining her persona of being the lead entertainment director as she made sure everything was prepared for a smooth hustle. 

Ruby focused her attention on Felix, engaging in conversations about their goals and aspirations while Emmy continued to serve drinks. As she moved her way through the crowd of wealthy patrons, she scanned her surroundings for a possible easy target to steal from while she waited. 

As her eyes continued to shift between various guests and other employees, she settled on the familiar sight of a man with very distinct soft features. Her eyes were narrow as she noticed Jimin dressed in a similar white dress shirt, the fabric tucked into a pair of black trousers with a bow tie wrapped around his neck. He had a tray of hors d'oeuvre, equally disguising himself as a server. 

Emmy clicked her tongue in annoyance as she turned around to make her way toward Ruby and Felix. Her sleek ponytail swished from side to side as she strutted across the hall, stretching a smile across her lips as she tried to bite back her annoyance. “Champagne?” She offered despite knowing that they both had a full drink in their hands. 

“No, thank you. ” Ruby spoke softly as Emmy moved past her. 

“We’re being stalked,” Emmy whispered, motioning toward Jimin with her head before addressing another guest a few feet behind Ruby and her wealthy date. Emmy politely offered them a drink before continuing her rounds, keeping a close eye out for the other members of Jimin’s gang of misfits. 

Jade overheard Emmy’s comment on her earpiece as she peeled her eyes away from the iPad, scanning her surroundings for any familiar faces. To her dismay, she noticed two men leaning against one of the free-standing cocktail tables.

Jade chewed nervously on the inside of her cheek, knowing that whenever the boys seemed to show up, their chances of scoring big were cut in half. Taehyung was sporting a gray pinstripe suit, his hair now dyed a lighter shade of brown making it more challenging to identify him. Thankfully, his sharp glare and undeniably handsome features are all Jade needed to confirm his identity before shifting her attention to the man beside him.

Jungkook was downing a glass of champagne, his lip piercing and traces of tattoos peeking out from his classic plain black suit exposing him just the same. “Tweedle dum and tweedle dee, five o’clock,” Jade commented under her breath before she turned to check in with one of the workers under her jurisdiction. 

Emmy followed Jade’s line of sight until she was met with the haunting images of Jungkook and Taehyung who are laughing and grinning as they mock the elite that managed to acquire an invitation to such a prestigious auction. Emmy rolled her eyes, feeling her adrenaline escalate at the thought of having to claw their way to another victory, knowing full well the guys weren’t there to admire the world's most beloved masterpieces. “Let’s just get this stupid statue and blow this joint.” 

Emmy could make out the sound of a gruff through her earpiece, her eyes darting across the room to find Jade shaking her head in annoyance. “You can’t just walk out the door with a multi-million dollar art piece.” Jade sent Emmy a challenging glare before slipping away back into the theater given that the doors would soon open for the cluster of eager millionaires. “Stick to the plan.” 

—

It isn’t long before the crowds of opulent guests were directed into the James Fairfax Theatre, venturing toward the velvet seating as the master of ceremonies introduced the exciting lineup of masterpieces preparing to be auctioned. Jungkook and Taehyung were among that crowd as they take their seat toward the back of the large space. Taehyung was currently examining some of the lots for auction, his eyes scanning over the small booklet in his hands. 

“Seventy-five thousand dollars for horse shit,” Taehyung grumbled under his breath as he tilts the booklet towards Jungkook, displaying the image of an acrylic painting that was the opening lot to commence bidding. Jungkook shifted his gaze onto the parchment, rolling his eyes at the absurd reality that millionaires dropped money on such wasteless nonsense. 

Jungkook cleared his throat as he sat back in his chair, leaning into Taehyung to make sure other’s around him couldn’t hear his degrading sentiment toward the auction. “These idiots would drop millions on trash bags filled with piss.” His voice was calm and collected as his eyes found the bright red satin of Ruby’s gown a few rows away. 

“I’d spend it on sex over this crap any day.” Taehyung grinned, elbowing Jungkook in the side as he glanced around the theatre. Obviously, the guys were well off thanks to their successful hustles, making it quite simple to blend in given their lifestyles. Despite it all, they were all three from varying backgrounds, never knowing the taste of wealth until they stole it from others. “What would you waste it on?” Taehyung asked curiously, knowing Jungkook’s answer would probably be something stereotypical amongst other luxuries. 

Jungkook pondered his question, laughing at the notion of having an unlimited amount of money without the need to screw people over. His eyes shifted toward a familiar waitress in a tight skirt, devouring the shape of her body as Jungkook clicked his piercing between his teeth. “A lap dance.” He answered plainly, observing Emmy carefully as she stood near one of the open bars. Jungkook licked his lips lecherously before shifting his gaze back to the auction, sighing at the boring pace of the event. 

“Which piece are we even here for?”  Taehyung complained, waving down Jimin who was now serving drinks not too far from their location. 

Jungkook snatched the book from his hands, flipping through it until he found an iridescent sculpture carved into a precious stone. “This.” He pointed to the image, holding the book back out toward Taehyung. “Opal River…It’s supposedly worth millions.” 

Taehyung’s eyes widen as he observes the artwork, surprised something so simple would be worth such an immense amount of cash. “Fuck…That’ll put us over.” He grinned, dollar signs practically glimmering in his pupils as Jimin approached them, a look of annoyance on his features. 

Taehyung smiled at the sight of their teammate serving them, reaching out to grab one of the flutes of champagne. “Thank you, my good man.” Taehyung teased, Jungkook chuckling from behind him as Jimin simply rolled his eyes. 

“I’m heading to the storage room,” Jimin whispered, glaring at Taehyung as he downed the entirety of his flute. “Do us a favor. Don’t drink on the job.” He added, pointing a very accusatory glare at Taehyung in relation to getting drunk at the winery and breaking one of the most expensive bottles of wine simply to fuck a girl.

Jungkook cleared his throat at the memory of finding Taehyung and Emmy blissed out from their moment of drunk sex. His jaw tightened, knowing if things would have been different, he could’ve been the one stuck in that cellar with her, fucking her brainless against the racks of wine. 

A few rows away, Ruby had her arm curled around Felix’s as they watched each lot get presented and put up for bid. Small paddles elevated into the air as guests around them placed wagers to outbid the next competitor, each hoping to purchase exquisite art for their personal collections. Ruby had the booklet of lots for auction, admiring the image of the Opal River. 

“Felix, this one is absolutely stunning.” Ruby’s voice is surprisingly soft and flirty, something Emmy and Jade rarely witnessed. She bated her eyelashes, creating a false persona for herself in an attempt to prove that her ability to charm their target was far superior to Jade’s. 

Felix had a dashing smile stretched across his lips, his endearing freckles speckled on his features as he admired the image Ruby was showing him. “Yes, it is.” He grinned, taking interest in Ruby’s choice of art. “It would be fantastic in the new foyer.” 

“And to think…” Ruby added, brushing her fingertips on the edge of Felix’s shoulder. “A piece like this would surely set you apart.” The reality was that if Felix showed interest in the very art piece the girls were planning on swiping, it would be that much easier to steal. Ruby offered him a flirtatious glance, while she remembered exactly why Emmy was typically the one to make such a fool of herself to gain their target’s interest. 

In Ruby’s case, she was the first to meet Felix on their journey to Australia, and given that his interest was peeked in pursuing her as a romantic interest, she figured she was the best fit for the job. Their few dates lead to his invitation to the auspicious auction, allowing the girls the perfect opportunity to infiltrate. Jade managed to hack the system and put herself in as one of the production managers, gaining the respect of other workers under the alias of being transferred there specifically to assist in the event.

“Hmm, I might just have to bid on it then,” Felix confirmed, bringing Ruby’s hand up to his lips to place a quick kiss against the backside of her hand. Ruby flashed her most seductive grin as she turned her attention back onto the auctioneer, her eyes wandering around to find any sign of Jade and Emmy. 

Jade was currently tucked behind the velvet curtain on stage, orchestrating the team of workers in packing up and displaying the various masterpieces. She glanced down at the tablet in her hands, noticing another painting as the new oncoming auction as she examined the employees diligently working to set it up. She grinned as she turned to walk towards the left wing of the stage, scrolling through to see how far the Opal River was in the itinerary. While any piece of artwork was a worthy steal, why go for something worth thousands when you can score something worth millions? 

As Jade walked towards the backstage hallway, she felt herself run into a sturdy frame, blinking in surprise as she glanced up from the screen. She had on a pair of glasses to aid in her disguise, adjusting them as she noticed Jimin's familiar eyes locking his gaze upon her. 

“What are you doing back here?” Jade quickly grabbed his arm, tugging him to the side as her eyes flared in anger. Jimin simply smirked, slipping his hands into his pockets as he casually leaned against the wall. 

“I could ask you the same thing.” His eyes challenged her stare as he glanced around, eyeing one of the pieces of art being transported behind her. 

Jade clicked her tongue as she reached for the lanyard hanging around her neck, holding up her staff badge. “I work here.” She spoke with confidence, observing his attire cautiously as she soon realized he was posing as a server, just as Emmy was. 

Jimin pushed off the wall, taking a few steps toward her in hopes of making her flustered from his close proximity. “So do I.” He challenged, lifting his eyebrows suggestively as he diminished their proximity. “Saving all the fun for yourself?” He commented nonchalantly as he moved past her, completely disregarding her efforts to block him from passing. “How selfish of you. I thought you were the nice one.”

Jade’s thoughts were momentarily preoccupied with the handsome man in front of her, his familiarity becoming quite distracting as she realized he was trying to make his way backstage. She quickly ran to catch up to him, moving to barricade the path with her body as she held out her arms. “You're just a waiter. You shouldn’t be back here.” 

Jimin paused in his steps, surprised to see the woman try to block his way. While he might not be the tallest of his trio, he was definitely taller than Jade and could easily move her out of his way. He found her efforts endearing, stepping closer to her as he brought his hand up to brush a strand of her hair behind her ear. 

“And who’s gonna stop me?” He chuckled in amusement, watching Jade’s gaze narrow in annoyance and frustration. “You?” Jimin continued on, purposely trying to get under her skin. He grabbed her shoulders gently, pulling her against his chest, Jade felt her cheeks rush with heat as they shifted into a shade of crimson. She felt his strong grip hold her in place, the alluring scent of his cologne causing her mind to spin with thoughts of their current proximity. 

Jade couldn’t help but let her thoughts indulge in memories of their shared makeout in order to prevent themselves from getting caught during Jennie’s charity banquet. What she wouldn’t do to get another moment like that with him? She quickly caught onto his actions, his smirk exposing his satisfaction with his ability to distract her as she reached back to unclip her radio from the back of her pants. 

“Security, I need you backstage.” She clicked the edge of the device, speaking quickly as Jimin pulled away. His flirtatious smile morphed as he pressed his lips into a thin line, fighting off his irritation as he noticed a large man come in from the door leading backstage. 

The security agent moved with haste toward Jade, causing Jimin to retreat back out toward the bar. If they were going to pull off a success against the women, he needed to make sure he didn’t get thrown out before their target was even put up for auction. He turned to offer Jade one last glare, feeling his blood boil as she waved him off sarcastically before informing security that it was indeed a false alarm. 

—

In the ambiance of the auction, Jungkook was scouring the area for a particular female presence to play with while Taehyung teased the other attendants with an occasional bid to drag the price up. At first, the men enjoyed watching the rich squirm for the pieces they desired, but Jungkook soon lost interest and was seeking other means of entertainment. 

He grinned when he noticed Emmy coming by, her hips swaying with every step as she focused on the obstacles in her path while balancing the champagne on her platter. He nudged his elbow against Taehyung’s side, jerking his head toward the illustrious brunette. “Watch this.” He held his hand out in her direction, snapping his fingers to get her attention. 

Emmy dragged her gaze toward the sharp sound, meeting the arrogant smile of Jungkook. She bristled, fighting back the urge to retort something in response to his impolite gesture, treating her to the equivalent of a dog as he called her over. She hesitated, contemplating the option to ignore him, but the insistent snapping of his fingers crumbled her resolve. She forced a large smile on her face before approaching the two men who looked ready to pounce once she was within their proximity. “Would you like a drink?” She asked in her service voice, the kindness exuding from her persona except for the fire burning in her eyes.

Jungkook leaned back in his chair, watching as she cocked her hip to the side as she waited for whatever comment they dragged her over there to make. Taehyung smirked as he leaned across Jungkook to grab a champagne glass. “Thanks, sweetheart, I was parched.” He winked, his lips curling up higher against his cheeks as he gulped down the bubbly liquid. 

She rolled her eyes, the smile still stretched across her features as she offered the platter to Jungkook. “And you?” She hoped he would take a glass so she could quickly evade them, but his eyes scanned her frame slowly and everything in her wanted to smack her palm against his cheek. 

“I don’t think champagne will satisfy me.” He dragged his tongue across his bottom lip, his eyes heavy with lust as he took in her appearance. While her attire was simple, it accentuated her figure just as beautifully as any other outfit he’d seen her in. 

Emmy stiffened as her smile dropped, flashes of their sexual history replaying in her mind. Shame and regret poured over her, clinging to her skin like a cold sweat as the color drained from her complexion. Taehyung chuckled beside Jungkook as they observed her reaction. “It might not satisfy me, but it’ll get things started.” He replaced his empty flute with another one, his grin crooked as he noticed Emmy’s eyes narrow. 

She huffed out a breath, feeling a renewed vigor course through her veins as they mocked her. She adjusted the tray against her hip, curling her arm over the drinks to avoid knocking them over as she glared at the two male hustlers. “What’s that say about you, if you need alcohol to get things started?” She pursed her lips together, prideful of the crestfallen Taehyung as Jungkook laughed at his expense. “I don’t know why you’re laughing…” She reloaded her barrel, shooting her ammunition at the man that slowly embedded himself into her subconscious. “I was drunk with you too, and honestly, I don’t remember feeling satisfied after.”

It was Taehyung’s turn to laugh, a strange competitiveness weighing between the two men as Jungkook glowered up at Emmy. He pressed his tongue against the inside of his cheek, his jaw cracking against the tension. “Why don’t we find the closest restroom and I’ll remind you?” Determination was etched in every crevice of his structure, ready to prove to her just how good he can make her feel until she’s a begging mess. 

Emmy stilled as warmth pooled between her legs, a haunting sensation dancing through her core. While she might have been mostly loosened up by the alcohol in her system at the time, she did remember enough of her actions with Jungkook to feel the phantom of his presence inside her. She bit her lip, gaining control of the churning in her abdomen before fixing her stare with Jungkook. She leaned down, leveling herself with his eyes. “Why don’t you fuck off?”

Jungkook grinned, her hostility sparking his interest as he accepted the challenge of breaking her down yet again. He tilted his head, twisting in his chair to meet her face-to-face. “Aw, now baby girl. That’s not very polite, you should really work on your service skills.” He tutted sarcastically, enjoying the internal struggle to cause a twitch in her eye as she placed the forced smile back over her lips. 

Before she could speak with some quip of her own, Taehyung peered around Jungkook’s shoulder. “I have something you could service.” Emmy looked past Jungkook to see Taehyung was comfortably lounged in the chair, his legs widely spread out to accommodate his groin. 

He flicked his eyes down to the zipper of his pants causing Emmy to recoil. “Pigs.” She stated simply, turning on her heel to walk away from the two objectifying men as they laughed behind her. Rage scorched through her veins as spite festered in her belly. Her heels clicked against the tiles of the auction room, in pursuit of Ruby.

She marched toward the woman dressed in vivid satin, offering her the platter of champagne. “Refreshments?” She asked, not wasting a moment as she placed the tray before Ruby and Felix. The brawn of their operation quickly picked up on Emmy’s agitation, grabbing two flutes for herself and the pawn for the heist. 

“Why, thank you.” Ruby flashed a smile at Felix as she handed the glass to him before turning her head toward Emmy. “Are you okay?” She asked silently, only moving her lips to communicate with the dramatic brunette. 

“You’re welcome.” Emmy nodded, moving past them to walk out of Felix’s peripheral, and then leaned down close to Ruby’s ear. “Just make sure we get that sculpture.” If they lost another score to their male adversaries, she would be pissed and she needed a win so that she could rub it in their smug faces.

Behind the stage, Jade moved frantically as piece after piece was carried from the storage units to the stage for display. The bids were moving quicker than she anticipated and she was getting distracted by the two voices in her head. One made demands for the next lot item while Emmy squabbled with what she could only assume was dumb and dumber. 

As she was verifying the masterpiece heading towards the stage, she heard Emmy insistently calling her in her earpiece. “Jade…Jade…Jade!”

Jade groaned, pausing in her flow to address the youngest member of their group. “What?” Her patience was stretched by the chaos of the situation as she tried juggling everything. 

“When is Opal River coming out? I’m about done playing lowly waitress to these snobs.” Emmy made sure not to speak too loudly, avoiding any unnecessary attention. 

One of the staff members came up to Jade, looking for approval, and without checking the itinerary, she waved them off to gain a moment of peace as Emmy’s sour mood dripped in her eardrums. Panic set in as she realized her mistake and double-checked the piece that was rolled to the stage to ensure it was still going in the auction’s proper order. She sighed with relief, thankful that she wouldn’t need to figure out a way to fix the arrangement. “We’re still working through the paintings. Sculptures are last.” She explained.

“Well you’re running the show, bring it out now.” Emmy was tired of waiting around for them to make their move. She was usually the one keeping the target busy while the other two pulled the strings in the background, but she had been on the sidelines for the last few hustles and she desperately needed a proper distraction. 

Jade looked over the iPad in her hands, shaking her head to herself as she listened to the other earpiece talking about the transition for the next canvas. “It doesn’t work like that, Emerald. If I change the order, it’d be as subtle as setting off a bomb.” She scrolled down along the screen, scanning the items that were above the masterpiece of interest. “These events are very organized.”

Emmy scoffed. “Fine, just speed things up back there.”

“Yeah, sure. No problem.” Jade mumbled sarcastically as she rolled her eyes, sighing once she heard the other coordinator in her ear. 

—

Emmy circled the event over a dozen times, offering drink after drink to the bidding patrons. Her arm began to ache from the fluctuation of weight on the serving tray as glasses turned from full to empty during every route. She could hear Jade rattling about all the different pieces coming out to the stage and pulled the earbud from her ear just enough to ease the volume. She made her way to the back of the room where they were replenishing the serving platters, sighing as she laid the tray down on an open space on the table. 

She rubbed the soreness from her limb, slowly rotating her shoulder to reactivate her mobility. “I hope this damn statue comes out soon.” She muttered under her breath. Emmy had no issue straining her muscles and building up her strength, but her motivation to serve drinks was far from enthusiastic. Another server pulled her tray across the surface and began replacing the empty champagne flutes as she savored the small break. 

“If I didn’t know any better, I’d say you’ve been avoiding me.” Emmy felt a hitch in her throat as the enchanting voice of Jungkook spoke just behind her ear, his breath tickling the small hairs on the back of her neck. She slowly turned around finding him looking just as charming as he was devilish. 

The moment passed, causing Emmy to come to her senses and began building up the boundaries she desperately needed to fortify against Jungkook’s intentions. She tilted her head condescendingly with a false pout, “Oh, was it not obvious? Let me make it clear.” She crossed her arms over her chest, cocking her hip out to the side as the pout morphed into a stern line. “I was definitely avoiding you.”

Jungkook only chuckled, tucking his hands into the pockets of his pants. He tucked his head down almost as if he were bashful, despite the seductive manner he dragged his tongue across his bottom lip, pushing against the metal of his piercing. “Aw, baby girl…you couldn’t avoid me even if you tried.” He smirked at her with confidence dripping from every pore of his being, the curl of his lip pulling far back enough to display the white glimmer of his teeth. 

Emmy rolled her eyes, unamused by his arrogance as she sought out his usual lingering counterpart. “Where’s your little hound dog?” She was immediately eased by his gaze falling away from her to search the perimeter for his partner in crime. His pupils focused on a familiar mess of curls before pointing his chin in the direction of Taehyung. Emmy followed his guidance and scoffed when she noticed he moved away from his seat to flirt up a woman with assets purchased at top dollar. “What a sleaze.”

Jungkook hummed with amusement, stepping to Emmy’s side, and leaning into her. “And yet, you slept with him.” He tutted, clicking his tongue softly to send the sound through her eardrum. His hands moved up her back, caressing her shoulder blade before resting at the peak. He twirled a loose strand of hair around his index finger as he continued invading her space, “I thought I was special.” 

Emmy pulled herself away from his entrancing touch, rearing her glare back in his direction. “How special could it be? l was drunk.”

Jungkook cracked his jaw, easing the tension a fraction as he stepped closer. He reached out for her hand, caressing her palm within his as he hovered his lips over hers. “My offer still stands…I’d be more than happy to remind you.”

Emmy let the air between them swirl as she felt the bricks of her wall slip from their hold. Jungkook’s eyes were heavy with lust as he gazed upon her, pulling her into the warm pools of onyx. She blinked and the spell was broken as she quickly evaded his presence, pushing against his chest to create distance between them. “In your dreams, JK.” She moved around him, her hand sliding down his torso as she left him behind. She stole a glance toward the other server who looked up in question as she left without the refilled tray. “I’m taking a fifteen.”

Her stride was fast-paced, trying to get away before Jungkook trapped her in another compromising position. Every time she got too involved with one of the trio, the girls always seemed to fail. She needed to stay focused, which meant steering clear of Jungkook and his seductive ploys. She gasped when there was a sudden pull on her wrist as she collapsed against the solid frame of the perpetrator dragging her into the public bathroom. 

“What the -” Before she could say any more, strong lips molded against her own. She was overwhelmed as her feet stumbled against the tile with large hands cupping her cheeks, guiding her deeper into the restroom until her back was pressed against the cold stall wall. Her screams of protest were muffled as she took in the fact that Jungkook restrained her into submission before smothering any argument she had. She lifted her hands to apply pressure against his shoulders in hopes of breaking away from his kiss, but a quick swipe of his tongue into the passage of her mouth and the pull of her bottom lip between his teeth had her falling apart. She used his tall stature as a support while wrapping her arms around his neck, leaning into him to gather more of his taste.

Jimin checked his watch before glancing around the room, looking for his comrades as they awaited the item to be bought. Regardless of who obtained the lot in the auction, he had everything laid out to take it at just the right moment. He grazed over the woman draped in red satin, narrowing his eyes as he observed her flirtatious mannerisms toward the man beside her. 

He was mildly impressed that the three women were dispersed amongst the event with advantages at every angle. However, he smiled thinking of their expressions when they would once again lose by just a hair. He bit his lip, fighting the grin that was provoked as he imagined Jade’s cheeks flared with aggravation, sharpening her glare in his direction with the daintiest of threats. 

He followed the expanse of the room until he spotted Taehyung invested with a beautiful, but strange woman in a completely different row than the one he was originally sitting in. He looked toward the seats they selected and found that Jungkook was gone completely. He swiveled his head back and forth, searching for any sign of the youngest in their midst, feeling defeated when he realized Emmy was missing too. “Damn it.”

He swiftly walked toward Taehyung, keeping his gaze on Ruby to make sure she didn’t suddenly disappear as well. His steps made little to no sound, startling Taehyung as he came to stand beside him and leaned down with a tray of offerings. “Excuse me, sir, but it’s best you return to your seat.” 

Taehyung jumped from the sudden presence of Jimin looming over his shoulder while he was clearly enamored in the beauty sitting beside him. He turned his head to fix Jimin with a look that indicated for him to leave, but Jimin held strong as he smiled down at his counterpart. “Oh, won’t you stay?” The woman reached out and grabbed Taehyung’s thigh, squeezing it temptingly high near his groin. 

Taehyung practically begged Jimin with his silent plea painted on his face, but Jimin insisted. “I’m afraid, he’s in someone else’s seat.” Taehyung growled in his throat, ignoring Jimin briefly as he promised to find her later. 

He reluctantly pulled her hand from his body and rose to his feet, following Jimin with a huff of annoyance. “Why the hell did you do that?” Taehyung pouted like a giant child, upset that his fun was spoiled by the responsible one of their group. 

Jimin made sure they were a distance from the gossipy rich then leaned into Taehyung, pulling his arm toward his seat. “Have you seen JK?” Jimin kept looking around, praying that the feeling in his gut was wrong. 

Taehyung rolled his eyes, “He’s with his little Barbie doll.”

“Where?” Jimin hated the churn of validation in his stomach with Taehyung’s confirmation. Of course, Jungkook was with Emmy. 

Taehyung made a sound of forced air through his lips, his cheeks puffing out in resistance. “I don’t know, I was busy.” He whipped his hand in the direction of the woman he was schmoozing moments ago. “I didn’t know I had to keep an eye on him.”

Jimin shook his head, turning on his heel toward the back area of the venue. Taehyung called after him, but he simply ignored it, adapting the plan to accommodate for the lack of manpower he was working with until Jungkook decided to return from whatever he could be possibly doing. 

—

“Ugh, yes!” Emmy hissed as she ground her hips against Jungkook’s palm, allowing his fingers deeper into her sopping walls. Her nails dug into his shoulder blades, clinging to him as she rode every movement of his hand. Her head was craned back, letting her crown rest against the stall as she balanced herself on a single leg while the other wrapped around Jungkook’s narrow waist. 

Jungkook had his hand dipped under the bunched material of her pencil skirt, thrusting three large fingers into her pussy. The jacket of his suit hung on the hook of the stall and Emmy pulled apart some of the buttons in desperation as she left marks along his collarbone. “You’re so good, aren’t you? So responsive.” He pushed the pad of his thumb against her clit, watching with satisfaction as her body convulsed from the stimulation against the bundle of nerves between her legs. 

Emmy was conflicted with herself from the moment she was pulled into the restroom. Split in two as part of her wanted to tell Jungkook to fuck off and the other wanted to tell him to fuck her harder. She tried to stay focused on the task at hand, but Jungkook reigned her back in with his sinful mouth and vigorous fingers. Her chest heaved with every breath, her lungs filling uncontrollably as she panted toward the ceiling. The ceiling tiles blurred as her walls constricted around the digits, her legs quivering into liquid. 

Emmy moaned as Jungkook plucked the buttons of her shirt apart, groping her breast up toward his mouth in order to lather his tongue on the tops of her mounds. Her pussy clenched, sucking him in and making it difficult for him to drag his fingers back out of her. He crooked his index inside, pressing into a tender spot near her cervix that had her gushing around him. “This is so much better than fucking you in the air.” He groaned.

“You haven’t even fucked me yet.” She argued, slipping one of her hands down to grab his hard dick still confined in his pants. She gave him a firm squeeze, smiling as his head dropped dramatically against her nearly exposed chest. 

Jungkook grunted as she began stroking him through the fabric, his member was desperate to properly feel her. “Ah, so this is what you’re really like? Baby girl wants to boss me around.” He curled a finger over the cup of her bra, pulling it down just enough to nip the skin near her nipple. “We’ll see about that.” He pulled the rest of the cup down, fully exposing her breasts to the cool air of the museum as his mouth warmed the pebbling bud. 

Emmy tossed her head back from his aggressive treatment, feeling him pummel his fingers inside her. She tugged his length sharply, just enough to retaliate and break his stride as she focused on unzipping his trousers. “Emmy…” She ignored the call of her name while sifting through his boxers, both sighing as she gripped him in her hand. The skin-on-skin contact caused a pleasurable sensation through his body while she savored what would replace his fingers. 

“I need to feel you again.” She craved the memories that haunted her from when they had sex in the airplane bathroom. It wasn’t romantic by any means, but after comparing the experience to Taehyung, she wanted more. She brought him out over the top of the waistband of his boxers, guiding him toward her entrance as she waited for him to pull out from her warmth. 

“Emmy?” She looked up at the sound of her name, noticing Jungkook looking at her through hooded eyes. She furrowed her brow, her brain unable to process that the voice calling out her name didn’t quite fit Jungkook. Not to mention, when did he ever call her by her alias? 

Jungkook helped Emmy, taking his fingers from her wet pussy and dragging the tip of his penis over her clit. “We gotta be quick.”

“Emerald!”

Emmy placed a hand on his chest, instantly sobering up from the intoxication of sexual desire. Jungkook searched her eyes, looking for a reason why she seemed to stop him. “You better not be doing what I think you’re doing.” Emmy grew pale as she finally recognized the voice of Jade calling out to her through the earpiece.

“Oh shit…” She gasped, throwing a hand over her mouth as she pushed the earbud properly in her eardrum. “Jade?” Her eyes were wide as she pushed Jungkook away, scrambling from his entanglement. Jungkook went to reach out to Emmy, but she quickly moved around him, trying to evade falling further into trouble as she pulled her skirt back down her thighs. 

“Where are you? Opal River is about to be called and we need to make sure no one else buys it.” Emmy could feel her cheeks inflame as she breached the restroom doors, observing the atmosphere around her as she lightly fixed her hair and the buttons of her shirt. 

She made sure no one noticed how disheveled she looked while making her way back to the table of champagne trays. She glanced back to see Jungkook stepping out of the same doors she escaped from, tucking his shirt in as he made eye contact with her. She quickly averted her gaze, charging in the opposite direction of the man she was previously intertwined with. 

“She just walked out of the restroom.” Ruby said calmly after realizing that Emmy was too flustered to respond. She bit her lips tightly together when she noticed Jungkook come from the same area, keeping herself from revealing what most likely happened between the two. 

Emmy finally fell back into her role, marching across the venue in her heels in order to get in the middle of the chaos when the piece was finally revealed. “Alright, I’m ready. I’m coming.” Emmy sighed despite her renewed determination. How she wished she was saying that for a whole nother reason.

Jade was in the back, staring at the target as she confirmed that it was ready to be brought to the stage. She admired the glimmer of the gems that made up the sculpture, shining in even the dimest of lighting. “Here we go, look alive.” She announced to the girls, signaling that the piece was on its way out so they can accomplish their part of the heist. 

“Our next item is shaped by various types of opal, cascading over a chiseled slab of the most valuable gem of its kind, black opal. The piece is created by one of our most esteemed creators, Vante.” The audience was awed in response to the spectacle as the piece dazzled upon the stage. The auctioneer leaned back into the microphone after giving the patrons a moment to gaze upon the enriched sculpture. “The bidding will start at five million.” Instantly, a couple of paddles shot up into the air, bringing the highest bid to seven million within seconds. 

Ruby nudged Felix, startled by how eager the others in the room seemed. “Eight million.” The announcer called, pointing toward Felix once he raised his offer.

The room paused, contemplation sitting heavy in the atmosphere as the rich deliberated on bidding for the piece. Emmy paced herself, anticipation bubbling in her veins as she prayed Felix would be announced the new property owner of the Opal River. 

“Nine million.” Emmy followed the gesture of the auctioneer to see Jungkook proudly smirking in her direction. She furrowed her brow, wondering why he would be trying to buy such an expensive sculpture. 

She noticed Taehyung’s hand raise up, submitting his bid. “Ten million…eleven million.” Emmy panicked as she scoured the audience, feeling her heart settle when she saw Felix lowering his hand, taking his place back at the top of the bids. 

Jungkook waited until Emmy’s eyes were back on him, when their pupils locked together he had a giddy grin on his face as he raised the paddle again. “Twelve million!” He relished in the frustration on her features when he realized he was tampering with their plans.

“What if we win?” Taehyung whispered in Jungkook’s ear, concerned that his friend was pushing the boundaries a little too close.

Without breaking away from Emmy, Jungkook leaned closer to Taehyung. “Don’t worry, we’ll just sell it after. I just don’t want them to have it.” 

Taehyung chuckled at the game Jungkook set up, rubbing his hands together. “You’re a genius.”

Emmy stomped her foot on the ground as another bidder joined the game, listening to Ruby butter Felix up to the idea of going higher on the bid. She glared in Jungkook’s direction, restraining herself from tackling him to the ground and showing him that he messed with the wrong brunette. Instead, she walked over to the two obnoxious obstacles and offered them a drink of champagne with a forced smile plastered across her cheeks. As they reached out for a flute, both looking smug as hell, she leaned down close to Jungkook’s handsome features. “If you get in our way, I’ll personally castrate you.”

“Fourteen million!” She whipped her head, confirming that Felix was now the highest bidder. 

“Hey, Emmy? Make sure your boy toys don’t fuck it up.” Ruby muttered into her earpiece, keeping her voice low so Felix didn’t overhear her. 

Almost as if Jungkook could hear her, Emmy noticed his hand start to raise with his paddle in hand. Her reflex was to reach out and grab the object from his hand to avoid any further damage, however, the hand she used was balancing the tray full of champagne glasses. “Fuck!” Jungkook jumped to his feet, drenched in the liquid bubbly as Emmy registered that she dumped her whole tray on his lap. 

Taehyung recoiled from the splatter, trying to evade the attention the crash of champagne flutes brought in their direction. “Oh, I’m so sorry.” Emmy finally said, the tone of her voice less than convincing as she used a rag tucked over her arm to dab at the mess. 

“How awful,” Ruby commented, fighting the grin that threatened to spread over her features. “At least now, maybe there won’t be any other bidders.” She offered reassuringly to Felix, hoping the dynamic duo would take the hint and step down from winning the auction. 

Emmy swiped her rag across Jungkook’s torso as he cursed from the abrupt cool liquid soaking through his clothes. She hastily moved her way down, keeping him occupied in hopes the bidding would conclude. “You know, if you were so desperate for my dick, you should’ve just stayed in the stall with me.”

Emmy whipped her head up, nearly making herself dizzy as she realized she was using the rag over his zipper. She immediately pulled away, intentionally flaring the rag up to smack him in the face. “And maybe you should go fuck yourself.” She hissed, tossing the damp article at his torso and leaving him to his own devices as she turned on her heel. 

“Sold! Fourteen million!” The auctioneer pointed swiftly at Felix before the Opal River was slowly removed from the stage to make way for the next lot. 

Ruby beamed at her date, cupping his face in her hands. “Fantastic!” She smacked her lips against his own, playing the part just as planned. When she pulled away to see the handsome smile on his face, she faltered, almost feeling bad for using him. The guilt quickly faded as she wiped the smear of her lipstick from his lips and settled back into her seat. 

Jungkook groaned as he held the rag that was thrown at him, weakly trying to soak up the abundant champagne clinging to his frame. “Wow, you definitely didn’t satisfy her.” Jungkook slowly turned around, finding Taehyung happily sipping his champagne as he side-eyed his partner. Jungkook held up his middle finger before stomping off to dry off in the restroom. 

—

Large carts rolled various concealed crates across the ramps of the museum loading docks as affluent buyers sent their assistants to collect their expensive treasures. Extravagant vehicles pulled up to the large industrial wings, eager for the auction workers to load their purchases so they can arrange for proper transport back to their properties. While employees confirmed the payments of the purchase and worked diligently to complete their tasks, Jimin found his way through the crowd in search of the Opal River in question. 

His eyes scanned various crates, looking for any hints of the exorbitant statue as he pulled against the satin material of his bowtie. The fabric came apart as Jimin allowed the two loose ends to hang around his neck, thankful to be free of the constricting material as he unbuttoned the top buttons of his shirt. He moved a hand to run through the slicked-back strands of his hair as he turned the corner, smiling at some of the other workers as he made his best effort to remain inconspicuous. 

It doesn’t take long for Jimin to locate a room sealed with a padlock, housing some of the more high-priced items of the auction for safekeeping. He stopped casually beside one of the crates, picking up an Ipad that was left atop it as he glanced over the screen. One of the project managers walked past him, completely disregarding his presence as he took purposeful steps toward the sealed room. 

“You.” Jimin heard a man’s voice, causing him to peer up from the Ipad as the man in a lavish suit pointed in his direction. “Get Mr. Choi his purchase and bring it to the loading dock.” His directions were clear and precise as he typed in the code, pushing open the door before glaring back in Jimin’s direction. “Quickly!” The man’s voice echoed across the large hallway, causing Jimin to nod and place the Ipad down as he accepted the invitation into the room. 

Before Jimin could inquire on which crate to transport, the manager let the door close behind him to address another guest's request, leaving Jimin to an unlimited banquet of rare and expensive artwork. “That was easy.” He chuckled under his breath as he began searching for his target, eager to snatch it up and be on his way. 

Meanwhile, Jade removed the headset as she placed her pieces of electronics down backstage, eager to get to the loading docks. She moved with haste, letting her heels click along the tiled flooring as she sought out the same padlocked room to scope out their sculpture worth millions. 

A smile tugged at the corners of her lips as she turned the corner, watching as the occasional employee walked past her since her disguise allowed her access to anything she desired without any questioning stares. As she approached the locked storage unit, she pulled out a small device from her back pocket, clicking a small button as a small infrared light exposed which keys were recently pressed. Specific keys had a darker heat print, leading Jade to assume that they must have been pressed last versus the ones with lighter heat indications. 

A mischievous grin formed on her lips as she memorized the pattern, slipping the small device back into her pocket as another event manager strolled past her. She offered them a friendly nod as she began pressing the buttons on the keypad, receiving a kind smile before hearing the satisfying click unlock the bolted door. 

Jade pressed open the door, sighing in relief from the solitude of the room as she began searching the labels of the crates in an attempt to find the Opal River. Her search became more frantic as she continued moving between crates, quickly realizing that the costly piece was nowhere to be found. “Shit!” She huffed, feeling completely overwhelmed as Emmy’s voice startled her from her earpiece. 

“What?” The youngest’s voice was sharp with agitation, almost as if she could pick up on the fact that something wasn’t going according to plan. Jade felt her heart sink into her stomach, refusing to inform her team that there was a snag in her plan. 

“Nothing.” She pushed aside Emmy’s slight protest in her ear as she moved to exit the storage room, wondering why the sculpture had already been removed from the unit if its buyer had yet to come to collect it from the loading docks. Her eyes scanned her surroundings, noticing a door closing towards one of the currently unoccupied loading docks. Her eyes narrowed in suspicion, moving quickly to follow behind. 

As she walked through the door, she noticed a cart with a sizeable crate that would be used to protectively house a piece like the Opal River. She took a moment to observe the man pushing it across the threshold, noticing the familiar thin frame and hairstyle of the man she almost called security on earlier that evening. “Oh no you don’t.” She mumbled to herself, quickening her pace as she bolted toward him, utilizing whatever power her frame could provide to knock him down as she tackled him to the ground. 

Jade heard a loud grunt as the cart went rolling into the wall, leaving her straddled on top of whomever she just tackled. She wasn’t surprised to find Jimin struggling beneath her, his movements pausing as he noticed who his assailant was, chuckling at her bold and daring move. “What a surprise.” Jimin momentarily stopped trying to fight her, letting her thighs mold to either side of his waist as she sat atop him, desperately trying to keep him still. 

“Shut up.” Jade hissed, annoyed that once again they were getting in their way, especially since they traveled all the way to Australia to purposely get away from them. “Isn’t there anything else for you idiots to steal?” She complained, feeling vexed by their insistence to constantly get in their way and target the same things. 

“It’s more fun this way.” Jimin offered simply, a flirtatious smile etched on his lips as his eyes glanced down at her body being pressed against him. Before Jade could retaliate, Jimin moved his hands up to grab her wrists tightly within his grip, wrapping one of his legs around her as he used his strength to rotate them until Jade was pinned beneath him. He brought her arms to the side of her head, pressing into her wrists to keep her in place. “Much better.” 

Jade’s cheeks flushed red as she helplessly fought against his strength, only eliciting playful chuckles from Jimin at her useless attempts to escape him. “Get off of me!” Jade growled, trying to kick her legs to aid in getting Jimin off of her. He simply tightened his grip around her wrists, causing Jade to wince in pain until she finally stilled her body. 

Jimin relaxed his grip at her submission as he pressed his hips into her, letting his weight press down just enough to cause her to gasp, feeling his body engulf her with heat. “You know…For someone named after a hard stone...” Jimin leaned down as he spoke, letting his lips hover just beside the shell of her ear as he continued to whisper. “You’re way too easy.” 

Jade felt smothered beneath him, her embarrassment causing her to tremble as she tried again to push him off.  “For someone so short…” She began teasing, watching as Jimin’s flirtatious smile morphed into fury. 

“Don’t…finish…that…” He threatened, before moving her arms up over her head, utilizing his strength to bring her hands together. “You know…V told me you like being restrained.” Jimin’s eyes maintained his anger while his teeth became exposed with a malicious smirk as he quickly retrieved a pair of handcuffs from his back pocket, bringing it up to clasp around one of her wrists. “Too bad I can’t stay and find out just how much you like it.” With that, he fastened the other cuff to one of the posts of the ramp rails leading down towards the large exterior door. 

“Fuck you!” Jade groaned, hating the fact that once again, she was immobilized by being tied down by another stupidly attractive man. Jimin released her other hand to which she quickly moved to slap it across his face. Jimin’s reflexes were surprisingly quick as he managed to snatch her wrist mid-assault, pulling it up to have her sit up and press her back against the rails. 

“I’m not V.” He smirked, knowing that if his counterpart would be in his place, he’d most likely take the opportunity to get physical with the attractive tech wiz. Instead, Jimin adjusted himself into a crouched position, hovering over her as he leaned in to steal a quick kiss. 

Jade’s eyes widened from the sensation of his lips molding over hers, a struggling moan being muffled between them as memories of their last kiss haunted the pair of them. Jimin pulled away, finally releasing her wrist once again as he brought his fingertips up to his lips and savored her taste. “I have missed that.” He admitted shamefully before pushing off the ground to stand, towering over her. “If you’ll excuse me.” 

Jade was left speechless as she watched him grab the cart, turning to exit back toward one of the other loading docks to leave her alone to her embarrassment. She went to protest but instead watched the door swing shut behind him as he got away with another victory over them. Jade let out an annoyed groan, practically screaming it as she slammed her palms against the ground. 

“They got us.” Jade’s voice was soft as she addressed Emmy in her earpiece, closing her eyes as Emmy let out a colorful display of curse words. 

While Jimin strategically moved around the loading docks, a group of other workers surrounded him as they located the sought-after sculpture. “It’s over here.” One of them announced as they guided Jimin toward a loading dock with Felix's car conveniently ready to load his recent purchase. 

The blonde millionaire was standing beside the rear of his car as his driver aided in the collecting of his acquisition, leaving Jimin scrambling at the reality that he might not be able to score this piece. Jimin released the cart as the group of men worked collectively to transport it into the trunk as Felix discussed his purchase with one of the managers. Felix was offered some paperwork and proof of authenticity as he extended his hand for a friendly handshake. 

Jimin’s eyes narrowed in defeat, hating that such an elaborate plan was sidetracked effortlessly, watching as Felix collected something so valuable just for the pleasure of it. He went to turn away, racking his brain for another expensive piece he could snatch as not to leave empty-handed. His thoughts soon became distracted by a loud screech of tires followed by multiple frantic voices yelling behind him. He turned back towards Felix, watching him waving his arms helplessly after his car that was being hijacked. 

Jimin quickly moved down the ramp in an attempt to get a glimpse of who could’ve possibly taken the car, hoping to see Jungkook or Taehyung in the driver's seat. Unfortunately for him, the only thing he managed to see was the slightest glimpse of red satin, instantly recognizing that Ruby must have been awaiting her date in his car, capitalizing on the opportunity to make a quick escape. 

“Well played,” Jimin grumbled under his breath, the simple fact that Jade was still handcuffed next door bringing him enough joy to take his loss as he turned his attention onto another lesser-valued target.

—

Emmy anxiously peered around the theater, noticing the final item up for auction being displayed just beyond the lavish velvet curtains. Her eyes skimmed her surroundings as she set her tray of champagne glasses down on the bar top. Ruby and Felix were nowhere to be found as she caught a glimpse of Jungkook and Taehyung standing from their seat as the auction concluded. A wave of worry crashed into her as she recalled Jade’s words. “They got us.”

Jungkook and Taehyung waltzed through the aisle of the theater, a look of annoyance plastered on both of their features. Emmy could barely make out what they were speaking about, desperately trying to make out any words as Jungkook’s stare shifted in her direction. She felt her body stiffen from his glare as he moved his hands up the buttons of his shirt, tugging on his tie to loosen it from around his neck as he pinned her with his stare. 

The tension was enough to cause Emmy to suffocate under his glare, feeling the same heat from before radiate between her legs as the corner of his mouth tugged into a smirk. “Jade, where are you?” Emmy spoke under her breath, turning around to avoid Jungkook’s stare as she inquired about her teammate's whereabouts. “What’s going on?” 

It didn’t take long for Jade’s voice to crack through the earpiece, a shameful deposition to her voice causing Emmy to groan. “By the loading docks.” She admitted, knowing once again she let herself get caught up in a compromising position. “I need help.”

Emmy rolled her eyes as she turned her attention back toward the banes of her existence, noticing Jimin had slipped his way back to his comrades as they stood around discussing matters. Emmy began to move around the bar, attempting to sneak into the back hallway to seek out Jade’s location. Before she could slip away, her eyes locked upon Jimin’s who only seemed to smile triumphantly once meeting her stare. 

The youngest brunette pushed past the door, following the winding hallways until she reached the multiple loading docks. “Hurry up and get out of there.” Ruby’s voice finally spoke through the earpiece, her voice strained from her stress alongside the rev of an engine in the background. “I’ll meet you at the hotel.” There was panic in Ruby’s voice as she was faced with the reality that she needed to ditch Felix’s car and find a way to get this sculpture shipped to the United States without getting caught by local authorities.  

Emmy glanced around, avoiding the hustle and bustle of various security guards rushing toward one of the loading bays. “Ruby, what did you do?” Emmy questioned, suddenly consumed with a sense of urgency to find Jade and get the hell out of there. She noticed a load leading to an unoccupied loading dock and quickly walked in to avoid being spotted by the influx of employees roaming the back. She let a sigh escape her lips before hearing the rustle of metal against metal, hesitantly glancing around the corner before finding Jade sitting beside the rails of the ramp with her arm handcuffed.

“You’ve gotta be fucking kidding me…” Emmy groaned, letting her anger beam through her pupils as she rushed toward Jade. The youngest offered her eldest teammate a questioning glare as she plucked one of her hair pins from her ponytail to maneuver the lock mechanism. “I’m starting to think you’re a closet freak.” Emmy teased, watching Jade’s annoyance only amplify as she quickly unfastened the handcuff from around her wrist. “Always letting them tie you up like this.” 

Jade rubbed the raw flesh of her wrist from the friction of the handcuff, pressing her lips together as she fought back the urge to tear into Emmy. “Oh, like I didn’t hear you huffing and puffing earlier.” Jade countered, a smug smile etching around her features as she tilted her head sarcastically. 

Emmy was quickly reminded of her sexual activities in the public restroom, completely distraught that she almost fell back into having sex with Jungkook yet again. The memory of their dalliance to join the mile-high club served as a painful reminder that Jungkook could lure her in like a magnet, leaving her with little resolve to avoid indulging in the sensations he had to offer her body. She had slept with many men over their years of hustling, yet why was it that Jungkook seemed to have her crumbling apart with the simplest persuasion? “Let's just get out of here.” Emmy snipped, turning away from Jade as she was forced to cope with her building shame. 

“You don’t have to tell me twice.” Jade agreed, equally ashamed of being such an easy target as she led the way out of the loading dock, helping Emmy slip by the commotion as they bid the lavish auction adieu.

Rita Connway from Popugirls: She's a stereotypical girly girl: a pretty, blonde, fancy southern belle, who wears poofy dresses, skirts, and tutus, loves fairytales, magic, unicorns, puppies, and is a hopeless romantic. She's the "nice girl" everyone loves, makes friends easily, and likes giving people makeovers. She often finds herself needing to be saved. Sometimes by her female friends, but a lot of the time, by her strong, handsome, brave Australian boyfriend Jett.

Selma Seldom, Beatrice Park, Tammy Panganiban, Margaret Ruoho, and Grace Mayfair from Popugirls: Also girly girls

Marja-Liisa Lahti, Tiina Busters, and Zaiga from Aurora Borealis and Company: Marja-Liisa is the keyboardist of the Finnish girl band Aurora Borealis. She is the most feminine of the group. She loves pink, she's the shortest and thus looks "petite" and "weak", she's an Anglophile, and as a female Anglophile, she loves more "girly" British things like Jane Austen books, Romeo and Juliet, Alice in Wonderland, and has a crush on George Harrison. Tiina is a girly girl who loves fashion pink and purple. Zaiga is the more timid, sweet Afro-Latvian friend of the more brash, sometimes arrogant, and tomboyish Icelander Dagmar Laxness.

Marcella Piccolaro from my HEAD: In my head, I make up scenarios where I make characters that I pair up with real people. I never post them online. Anyway, Marcy is characterized in my AUs as an Italian immigrant to England who always ends up in a relationship with Keith, lead singer of the Yardbirds. Often in these AUs, Marcy is a damsel in distress that Keith needs to rescue.

FEMME FATALES:

Marina "The Duchess" Tang from Carmen Sandiego: My Carmen Sandiego OC (for both the Netflix version and the Earth version, my AUs tend to blend the two together). She's a Singaporean woman who goes by the alias "The Duchess". She doesn't work for Carmen, nor VILE, nor Zack and Ivy, she only works for whatever or whoever benefits her, so she's morally grey. She often uses her looks on men to get what she wants.

Eugenia "Gia" Lombardi from Aurora Borealis and Company: Gia is a friend of AB. She's a fashionable woman from Rome, who also is known for being boy crazy, and flirting with almost every man she sees.

BOTH/NEUTRAL

Lorelai Birdgess from DuckTales: My OC for the 2017 reboot of DT (and ultimately a Disney general character): An Aboriginal female duck from Sydney, Australia, also known by her self-given nickname/alter ego Cavern Girl. She wears whatever she wants. She joins the McDuck team on their adventures, but I made her eventually be a Disney character in general. She's brave and strong, based on the "Crocodile Dundee" stereotype, so she's not glamorous or dainty and is willing to get her hands dirty. But she also has feminine aspects to her. She still wears dresses and skirts, she still at times needs to be saved, most notably from Glomgold, who often makes advances on her, the duck mafia, and even from a forced marriage when the gang get sent back to Ancient Greece. She also is in love with Scrooge, and is a dude magnet.

Patricia Hannington from Popugirls: Born in Manchester, England, Patricia wasn't like everyone else. She grew up and got into the punk rock scene. She and her childhood friend Vicky Rajan, later joined by Courtenay Topaz, formed a band called Chains of Fury. Patricia went by the stage name "Celeste Diamond" and started dating another punk guy named Amos. Patricia/Celeste thought her life was perfect, but she caught Amos cheating on her one day and they split. She continued her band, and started dating Tino, a Finnish man, who treated her way better. She later became a friend of the oher Popugirls, dropped the Celeste Diamond name, and recently the Welsh-born Yvonne Low joined COF. Patty is the most tomboyish, but she's also popular with the guys (she herself said she had a reputation among the punk men back in Manchester), and is willing to wear a dress and get more "fancy" at times.

All women are valid

Kill the mentality that a female character is “weak” if she is in love with a man. Love is not weakness.

Also kill the mentality that a female character is “weak” if she is kind and sweet. Kindness is not weakness either.

Sydney (green eyes, long black hair, 5'5, starter is for SRP only): "Y - You can ehehe, I'm not very dominant.. and I'm kinda shyyyy~" My face flushes completely as I start getting hot and bothered, the thought of you dominating me is making my heart beat faster.

Pink Diamond (Steven Universe): "Alright then, it's settled!" Pink Diamond happily lifted you up in her arms, bringing your face close to her before she clasped her lips over yours.

Sydney (green eyes, long black hair, 5'5, starter is for SRP only): My eyes widen as you lift me up and hold me in your arms. I let out a soft moan as you tenderly kiss me, my eyes flutter as I feel our tongues interlock with each other. "Mnh~! M- Mmmm~"

Pink Diamond (Steven Universe): Pink Diamond let your tongue swirl with hers for a few minutes, clearly enjoying the kiss. Eventually, she raised you up slightly higher, gently untying your top with her teeth before sucking on one of your breasts.

Sydney (green eyes, long black hair, 5'5, starter is for SRP only): "A- Ah~! O- Oh my~" I gasp as your lips close around my nipple, moaning softly as you suck on it. I catch myself panting heavily as my arousal and excitement increases.

Pink Diamond (Steven Universe): Pink Diamond kept sucking for a bit before raising you up even further, letting her tongue glide across your undercarriage so that she can taste your juices.

Sydney (green eyes, long black hair, 5'5, starter is for SRP only): "A- Ahn~ Y- Yes~" I watch as you lift me up to pleasure me, I fidget with excitement and continue to moan softly as you guide me through the sensations.

Pink Diamond (Steven Universe): Pink kept licking, excited over your taste, before she turned you around and dragged her tongue through your crack to taste your rim.

Sydney (green eyes, long black hair, 5'5, starter is for SRP only): My moans only get more intense as you start licking everywhere between my legs. I feel your hands grasp my pudgy love handles and I giggle softly between my moans.

Pink Diamond (Steven Universe): Pink continued lapping for a long while before lying you on your back on the sand, her clothes disappearing in a glowing flash as she raised one of your legs. Her lower lips pressed against yours, she began to grind.

Sydney (green eyes, long black hair, 5'5, starter is for SRP only): "O- Oh yes~ Mnhhhh~" I watch as you grind against me, biting my lip and drooling slightly. My moans continue and my pussy starts getting even wetter.

Pink Diamond (Steven Universe): "You feel amazing!" Pink complimented you as she began to rub herself against you faster, getting wetter while your clits began to scrub up against each other.

Sydney (green eyes, long black hair, 5'5, starter is for SRP only): "A- Ahn~ You feel amazing too- Ah~!" I start moaning hysterically, feeling myself get closer to climax as you continue grinding yourself up against me.

Pink Diamond (Steven Universe): Pink let out a satisfied moan as she came against you, continuing to grind as she felt your fluids slosh against hers.

Sydney (green eyes, long black hair, 5'5, starter is for SRP only): I feel her body vibrate against mine with an orgasm, pushing me over the edge right after. I squirt until both of our crotches are soaking with each others juices. "Ahhhhn~ P- Pink~"

Pink Diamond (Steven Universe): "Sydney..." Pink said lovingly before she separated to scoop you up in her arms again. "Would you like to come home with me?"

Sydney (green eyes, long black hair, 5'5, starter is for SRP only): "Mmmm~ Y- Yes Pink, take me~" I cling to you and look up into your eyes lovingly, panting heavily and whimpering softly.

Pink Diamond (Steven Universe): Pink smiled as she walked off the beach, her new lover in hand.

Pink Diamond (Steven Universe): (Thanks!)

~ unknown 

Look who just woke up- is that JOSEFINE FRIDA PETTERSON? No, I must have been mistaken, that’s DIAMOND from THE HUNGER GAMES (oc, d1). I heard she is 19 (about to be 20, thank you very much) and stuck here just like everyone else. Even in the 20’s, they still give off a POPPING A FRESHLY BLOWN BUBBLEGUM BUBBLE WITH A NOSE SCRUNCH AND A TEASING SMILE, MUFFLED SCREAMS ECHOING FROM BEHIND A LOCKED BEDROOM DOOR, OLD MEMORIES BECOMING FRESH NIGHTMARES HIDDEN BEHIND ANGELIC STARES, NIMBLE FINGERS CALLOUSED FROM YEARS OF SEWING NEEDLE PRICKS, BABY PINK RIBBON DELICATELY BRAIDED INTO WHITE BLONDE HAIR impression. But here, they are working as a TAILOR’S APPRENTICE. They’re known to be quite INNOCENT & NAIVE, but have a tendency to be FLIRTATIOUS & SKITTISH on their bad days.

Gender/Pronouns ::

cis female ; she/her

How long have they been in Sydney ? 

one month 

Which suburb do they live in ?

parramatta

Personality Description :: 

strangers :: while diamond is always kind and compassionate, she is very quiet around strangers. due to her kidnapping and eventual death, she really doesn’t trust many people and isn’t likely to speak unless she’s spoken to first. and even then, it’s very polite and soft-spoken. mainly nodding along and ducking her head a little as she tries to keep a reasonable distance between her and the stranger. 

friends :: diamond is bubbly and always has a bright smile on her lips when talking to friends. while she is a genuinely happy person, most of the time, dia wears a mask around friends. she has a lot of trust issues do to her death and the world she grew up in, but she is not nearly as quiet as she is with strangers. he friends see a side of her that showcases who she used to be before all the trauma. kind, giggly, and imaginative. 

family/close friends :: they get to the say the bubbly and goofy side of dia, however, they always see the sadder side of her as well. in between her happier moment, they are more likely to see the side of diamond that can hardly pull herself out of her own thoughts and memories. they are also the ones that know how uncomfortable she gets in crowds or close quarters with people she doesn’t know. she is also much touchier with them, always keeping some kind of contact. whether it is locking pinkies with them or wrapping her arms around them. just anything to keep her grounded, especially out in public. 

Memories of their real life ::

diamond was the youngest of five sisters. and while some people would think that means she was often forgotten about, that wasn’t true at all. dia was the baby of the family. absolutely loved and adored by everyone, but her favorite person was her oldest, sapphire. she didn’t look up to anyone the way she looked up to sapphire. in everything she did, she wanted to be like her sister. sapphire always seemed so strong and dependable. 

so beautiful. 

dia was convinced that she was going to be just like her. 

however, the baby of the family wasn’t exactly like her oldest sister at all. being the baby meant Princess treatment and the youngest sister absolutely milked of every last drop of it she could. it wasn’t very often that she didn’t get what she wanted. but then again... dia never really asked for anything more than attention. or perhaps for the other girls to play with her. to tell her she looked pretty in her dress on the first day of school. 

but that all changed when their parents died... the sweetheart diamond was only wanted to help her oldest sister. sometimes trying to cook for them, but that was when it was discovered that the young girl was an absolute disaster in the kitchen and instead, she helped by cleaning up in the kitchen after dinner was made and doing the laundry. she also discovered she had quite the knack for sewing and braiding. always helping stitch up rips in her sister’s clothes or braiding their hair for school.

she might have been the youngest, but she refused to be useless. especially if it meant getting to spend more time with the sisters she loved more than anything. 

nothing could have prepared her for the first reaping.... 

while the rebellion had been a blur to her given how young she was, the blonde remembered the reaping. remembered sapphire name being called. remembered her middle sister having to her hold her back as she screamed and cried for sapphire. reaching for her favorite sister...

.... for her protector and provider. 

but then the men came later that night. she’d been stolen away in her sleep, terrified as weapons were pointed at her the entire ride to the capitol. no matter how much she wanted to scream, she didn’t. 

no. 

because she knew sapphire would want her to be strong, so she was. even as she cried, the tears were silent, stubbornly refusing to give them any satisfaction. even though she was sniffling and shaking the whole time. she wanted to be just like sapphire. just like the other sister she’d looked up to her entire life. 

but then....

she saw her. 

sapphire. 

in front of her again and there was no hiding how terrified she was. not when the only safe space she truly knew was right in front of her. but she knew better than to scream for her, barely whispering out her name before.... everything felt warm... and suddenly it was growing harder to breathe. it felt like her throat was filling with water, but that didn’t make sense.... 

that last thing she saw before everything went dark was sapphire- white blonde hair hanging around her angelic sister’s face and... tears rolling down her cheeks? 

but it didn’t make sense. why was her sister crying.... 

.... when they were finally together again? 

What was their fake life like ?

Diamond was the only daughter of a high society couple who’d been trying for children for years. once she was finally born, dia was their princess. their baby. their everything. as a result, she grew up quite spoiled. always holidaying with her mother while her father was off on business. but despite this wealthy and extravagant childhood, her parents always claimed that she had a good and generous spirit. 

leaving her mother and father was a hard decision for her. but it was easier when she got into university in Sydney seeing as how it meant she could stay with her aunt and cousins. family was everything to her, even before her memories came back. 

once she was in college, she met her best friend in the entire world, dexter byte. he was the first person she felt she could truly be herself around without him judging her for the way she grew up as he had no idea who she was or where she came from at first. even now, he is still her best friend. although, her feelings might be a little more than just platonic... 

Wanted Connections ::

Aunt 

Cousins 

Tailor Mentor 

College Friends

The Best Valentine's Day Gifts for Her

The idea of Valentine’s Day is more appealing to me than the actual day! I love that there is a day devoted to love…that’s the most amazing thing of it all! Going out to dinner isn’t even on my list of things I want to do on Valentine’s Day because it’s always so crowded and the menus are usually pre-fix. I much prefer a quiet evening at home in front of a roaring fire! As for gifts…bring them on! Chocolate…yes! Jewelry…yes! Beautifully scented candles…yes! Cold Champagne in a beautiful flute…yes! You get the idea! What about you?

Below, you’ll find a few ideas for your love and keep scrolling for more fun Valentine’s Day finds in a boutique at the end of the post!

The pink sweater from Express is on major sale ($49 and comes in black!) and would be great going into summer as well as for Valentine’s Day! You can’t go wrong with Maison du Chocolat…its some of the best chocolate available and who doesn’t love chocolate! After the holiday season, I’m ready to change out my candles for something a little fresher so new candles are always appreciated! I’ve started attempting to wear scarves more and I would love to receive this beautiful one from Tory Burch! David Yurman jewelry is always appreciated!

I’ve purchased several pink sweaters this year and I find that they go with so much more than you would think! This cute one with a front zipper can be worn as is or over a tank! Wear it (or give it) with the cute heart clutch from Pamela Munson for a great Valentine’s Day look! Any girl would love this beautiful Sydney Evan diamond heart ring (including me) - less expensive one here! New pj’s are always appreciated as is a new lip gloss…especially when it’s Dior lip gloss!

I’m dying over these Golden Goose sneakers with a pink heart! If you don’t have a pair, this might be the time to buy some! They’re so comfortable and definitely trending for spring! A white lacy top makes a great gift for any girl and can be worn year round! Jo Malone makes my favorite colognes and I this special limited edition Rose Blush Cologne is sure to be a hit! If you’re looking to support a woman owned company…look no further than Estelle Colored Glass for these gorgeous pink champagne flutes! They are perfect to hold your Valentine’s Day champagne! These precious heart earrings make a classic gift and the heart nightgown would make such a thoughtful gift!

For the bold girl on your Valentine’s Day list…a beautiful tomato red bag from Gucci is the best way to indulge! For something a little more reasonably priced, you may consider the Veronica Beard puff sleeve top in flame red or the melon and white striped kimono robe! The beautiful dangle heart earrings are great to wear year round and you can never go wrong with a chenille throw from Annie Selke!

I hope this post has been helpful as you find the perfect gifts for your Valentine (or yourself)!

Edisi sedang di perpus #1

Hubunganku dengan perpus sudah jalan hampir separuh usiaku (14 tahunan coy !). Semua bermula dari tugas presentasi di mata pelajaran bahasa daerah yang mengharuskan tiap kelompok untuk presentasi tentang tempat-tempat umum di Kota Malang. Kelompok lainnya memilih untuk membahas tempat-tempat wisata terkenal sebagai tema presentasi mereka sedangkan kelompok kami masih kebingungan memilih tempat umum yang unik untuk dibahas. Aku pun iseng mengusulkan perpustakaan umum sebagai topik presentasi kelompok kami. Sejujurnya aku iseng aja karena dari lahir hingga umurku hampir 14 tahun, belum pernah menginjakkan kaki di perpustakaan umum sama sekali. Budaya membaca bukanlah budaya keluargaku hahahahahah.

Dan berawal dari tugas presentasi di matkul bahasa daerah itulah, timbul kesenangan untuk terus terusan mengunjungi perpus kota ( kami menyebutnya PU) hampir tiap minggunya. Biasanya aku akan pergi di hari sabtu atau jumat, lalu pulang ke rumah sebelum jam 5 karena takut gak kebagian angkot hehehehe. Thanks to PU karena memperkenalkanku kepada orang-orang keren seperti Agatha Christie, Arthur Conan Doyle, Stephanie Meyer, Beatles, Sydney Sheldom, W. Irving, RL Stine, dkk. Selain itu, mata dan otakku jadi terlatih untuk tahan membaca dalam waktu lama dan terbiasa membaca terjemahan yang tata bahasanya bagus dan baku.

Ngomong -ngomong soal perpus, intro sepanjang dua paragraf itu sebenarnya tidak terlalu berhubungan dengan tulisanku di paragraf berikutnya heheheheh. Akhir - akhir ini aku menggunakan perpus sebagai tempat untuk berdiam diri sambil nulis manuscripts. Bukan lagi untuk membaca novel atau ensiklopedia seperti yang dulu sering aku lakukan waktu SMP. Dan disela-sela menulis manuscript, aku biasa mendengarkan lagu-lagu tertentu dan surat Yasin. Lagu - lagu tertentu itu kebanyakan didominasi oleh deretan lagu populernya Pink Floyd. Entah kenapa, cuma Pink Floyd yang bisa bikin aku duduk anteng berjam-jam nulis dan baca paper tanpa jeda. Berikut adalah deretan lagu - lagu tertentu yang bikin duduk anteng di perpus :

Pink Floyd - Another Brick In The Wall

Lagu yang berjudul Another Brick In the Wall di album The Wall 1979 ini dibagi menjadi 3 bagian, yaitu part 1, 2 dan 3. Masing - masing part ini sambung menyambung menjadi intro, isi dan outro. Bagian paling kusuka adalah part 2 karena terasa lebih rebel dan rame aja. Terasa rock n roll sekali namun entah kenapa membuatku lebih tenang. Aneh. Lagu ini juga cocok untuk menemanimu masak mie malam-malam sambil nonton Bioskop Transtv.

Pink Floyd - Shine On You Crazy Diamond

Pink Floyd emang hobi pamer skill main musiknya ya ? Hampir 75% lagu ini diisi sama intrument dan hanya menyisakan beberapa menit untuk lirik. Lagu yang sangat cocok didengarkan saat naik bis ke warung mie vege sendirian pas hujan-hujan.

Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here

Dengan judul yang sama, wish you were punya avril dan punya david gilmour ini bisa menyuguhkan dua makna yang berbeda. Kalo versi Avril lebih ke rasa penyesalan saat ditinggal kekasih, kalo versi Gimour lebih ke ungkapan rindu, sedih, kecewa sekaligus sayang kepada sahabatnya yang memilih jalan hidup lain. Secara personal, lagu ini selalu memberikan kesan yang berbeda tergantung di usia berapa kamu mendengarkannya. Ketika pertama kali mendengarkannya di umur 19, aku terkesan dengan intro gitarnya yang ikonik namun masih gak ngerti liriknya tentang apa. Maklum ya toefl cuma 480 wkwkwk. Tapi ketika mendengarkan di umur 25, aku jadi galau karena keinget orang yang pertama kali memperkenalkan lagu ini. Lagi apa ya orang itu sekarang? apakah dia bahagia dengan jalan yang diambil? Seandainya aku bisa ketemu dia lagi, aku akan pamer ke dia kalo aku bisa main intro lagu ini pake gitar. Kemudian, saat aku mendengarkannya lagi di usia sekarang, aku jadi sedih. Ternyata sedalam itu maknanya lagu ini. David Gilmour menulis ini buat Syd Barret yang memilih pergi meninggalkan band karena masalah kesehatan mental dan obat-obatan terlarang. Gilmour menggambarkan hubungannya dengan Syd seperti two lost soul yang berenang di aquarium, tak peduli seberapa jauh berenang tetap saja akan berakhir di tempat yang gak bisa menghilangkan ketakutan mereka akan kehidupan. Jadi maksudnya si Gilmour ini berusaha untuk menyadarkan Syd yang mencari pelarian dengan memakai obat terlarang, bahwa katakutan, kesulitan, kekhawatiran, masalah dan hal-hal gak enak lainnya dalam hidup itu pada akhirnya akan selalu kita temui, gak peduli seberapa keras kita mencoba menghindarinya. Jadi ketimbang tersesat sendirian, mending kita melangkah bersama - sama sambil saling menguatkan.

How I wish you were here with me, on the same path, walking side by side, growing old and running over the same old fears together.

Duh jadi melow.

Lagu berikutnya menyusul ya, karena lagi gak mood hehehehe

[ ID: Original digital art done in a lineless style of OP's OCs Sawyer and Sydney. The style is simple and emphasizes shape, the noses are distinctively drawn biggerand pointing out, no nostrils shown. Eyes are drawn big. Sydney, in his cyborg form is a huge, thin, pale skinned demiboy with light blue eyes and ruffled white hair. He wears a dark purple mechanical suit with pink and purple highlights. It has a blue-white diamond shaped core. One one arm '54' is seen digitally styled. His hands are like claws and in a blue-white gradient. He also has round glasses with one lens blue and the other pink.

Sawyer is a thin GNC person with tan skin, black eyes, and black hair that has a dark blue stripe falling to their face. He wears a blue sweater with dark pants.

Sydney holds up Sawyer in his projected claws, up to his face height. They grin shakily and blush blue as Sawyer nuzzles noses with them, a darker blush on their own face, their hands behind their back. The BG is split slantingly between them, Sawyer's side is dark blue and Sydney's side is a deep teal. Sawyer's side holds a blue heart while Sydney's has a light blue and white heart. End ID]
