Masterlist, Part IV of __

“If you know in one glimpse it’s legendary…what we thought was for all time was momentary…”

You tilted your head to the side as you watched the young man mumbled the lyrics to a song, his head resting on his forearm on the table. He was holding the glass of soju on his other. His voice had a certain melodic tone in it, and you were certain that he could be a singer had he wanted to. But now, he was a man that was too drunk to sit straight.

“Still alive killing time at the cemetery. Never quite buried…”

You blinked from your seat across him before turning to the doctor beside you who was busy grilling meat. Kim Seokjin appeared to not be bothered by how his brother was acting, only flashing you a smile when he saw you looking at him. He added another one on the pile of grilled meat he kept on placing on your plate. Meanwhile, Jungkook’s was almost gone and Seokjin still prioritized your plate over his.

You leaned closer, your voice barely a whisper amidst the din of the restaurant. "Is he going to be okay?" you asked, your gaze never leaving Jungkook's slouched form as he continued to sing. The noise inside the tented restaurant made it harder for him to hear you. It was like he wasn’t thinking too hard for the first time since you came barging in his life as he leaned down his head to hear you, his ear almost touching your lips from his proximity.

This seemed right, he thought, to be near you. It was like he was finally following his urges, letting his control slip for just a little for you.

And for the second time that night, your heart beat so loud it was a miracle that he couldn’t hear it, or that you didn’t go into cardiac arrest.

“Hmm?”

You cleared your throat before repeating your question. “He’s singing Taylor Swift’s new song. The album only came out this morning and it seems like he already memorized it…Is he okay?”

Seokjin looked up to watch his brokenhearted brother who was now unstealthily stealing meat from your plate, unaware of both your eyes on him. “Talking rings and talking cradles………I wish I could unrecall-“

Jungkook sniffed before eating the meat. It would have been hilarious to watch the tears falling from his eyes as he chewed, except that he looked like a child that was abandoned by the way his lips were pouted. The tattoos and the lip piercing did nothing to make him less endearing. You thought he was really just a charming person. But now he was just sad, as though he lost something he could never get back.

“-how we almost had it all.”

And then cue the endless tears.

Seokjin sighed, his eyes trained on the younger man he claimed to have raised on his own since he was thirteen. It was rare to see him cry. He always toughed it out, always had this innate need to prove himself to his older brothers despite the repeated assurance they gave him that they were tough so he wouldn’t need to. But he was stubborn. And in turn, he became a hardened man, a no-nonsense CEO and a violent leader of the underworld.

Well, until he married her. Suddenly, the sun seemed to have finally shone on his world. Seokjin could remember how happy and giddy Jungkook looked when he put the ring on her finger. He could remember how excited he was to come home to her everyday, even going as far as telling them how wonderful she was, or that cute thing she did for him, or how her cooking was the best he ever had.

Spoiler alert, though, she was the worst cook. She didn’t know that there was a distinct difference between a sugar and a salt, and no, just because they looked the same didn’t mean that they tasted the same.

See what love did to Jeon Jungkook, the pickiest person when it came to food?

Well, until she left.

“It’s not his birthday today,” Seokjin finally answered. “And eat. You’re far too thin.”

“Excuse me! I’m not!”

“Uhuh,” he said as he rolled his eyes. “Are you even eating three times a day?”

“Wh- well. N-no! Who has the time?” you sputtered, cheeks warming up from the attention you were getting from him.

He raised his brows at that before pointedly looking at your plate, making a mental note to ensure that your schedule from now on wouldn’t be so tight that you forgot to eat. Or better yet, he would personally visit the head of your department to berate him for not ensuring your well-being!

“And what do you mean that it’s not his birthday?”

 “It’s his wedding anniversary today.”

Huh? Your eyes automatically went to his ring finger, only to find a tattoo that you didn’t notice before. It was a name. You thought that he must have been so in love to have permanently etched his wife’s name on his skin. However, another question popped in your mind.

“Then why is he here instead of with her?”

“She left her more than a year ago. He doesn’t know where she is right now.”

Your heart went out to the young man. He seemed to be so heartbroken evident from his tears and the sadness in his doe eyes. He was too young to be this sad, you thought. Seokjin’s eyes were on you as you looked at Jungkook. You were so soft, he thought. You wore your emotions on your sleeves, genuine concern etched on your face and he couldn’t help but marvel at your capacity for compassion despite only meeting him today.

“That’s so sad. No wonder he’s crying his heart out,” you mumbled, reaching out to pat the younger man’s broad back in display of silent support. “I don’t know how anyone can carry it.”

He nodded, “I don’t think I’ll ever have to know.”

You blinked owlishly at his statement. And when you turned to him, his eyes were dark. He was now looking at the glass of soju, twirling the liquid contents slowly.

“Why?” you asked what you shouldn’t have.

He smirked before drinking. His movements were languid before turning his dark and cold eyes to you. “Because, sunshine, I don’t think I have it in me to allow my wife to leave me.”

That should have been your first warning.

And to Kim Seokjin, that was his first warning to himself.

---

He didn’t avoid you. No.

But for the following week, he was distant. He smiled at you when he saw you, but other than that, he did not engage. He greeted you when you greeted him, but other than that, he claimed to have an urgent appointment every time.

See, one step forward was two steps backward when it came to him, you thought. And perhaps, it was for the better. Had this progressed beyond a harmless crush, you would have been hurt. You would only bring him down with you. So for the next days, you threw yourself at work, saying yes to whatever assistance your colleagues needed, even going as far as offering your help to their research.

What? It was an overtime which equated to overtime pay!

That was what you reasoned to yourself, and nope, it was not because you were avoiding excess time to think about that handsome doctor.

Perhaps, what deviated in your work was the amount of free meals the department was getting. It even came to the point was when you didn’t go out of the office for lunch, the department head himself went in and demanded you to eat. You were confused as you followed him out and wondered why he looked a bit terrified. Other than that, you week was calm.

This was good, you convinced yourself as you waited in line for your turn to order, less time with him meant that whatever crush you had for him would die a natural death. You certainly weren’t hurt that your last interaction meant nothing to him when he claimed to have wanted you there with him. You nodded to yourself as you thought that Seokjin looked like a walking heartbreak just waiting to happen.

“Come on, just admit you like her! Why else would you reallocate the budget to cater the food for their department?!”

Seokjin rolled his eyes at his Doctor Seong-min and his obnoxious voice. The two doctors decided to step out for the afternoon to grab a decent coffee. He shifted impatiently in line, silently willing the people ahead him to order faster so he could physically separate himself from his colleague and escape the conversation. He had yet to forgive him for almost getting the coffee his sunshine got for him.

Wait, what?!

His?

See, this was why he needed coffee!

“I heard our branch in the far province desperately needs a resident surgeon. Maybe you want to transfer there?” he asked quietly, the tone of threat not even hidden as he smiled at the man. The mention of transferring to a far-flung province was a thinly veiled threat, one that Seong-min knew Seokjin was all too capable of carrying out if pushed far enough.

“Damn, dude. Chill. If you don’t like her, just say so. I’m just 307% sure that you do-“

“We can’t have doctors that are bad at math! What do you mean 307%?!-“

“Oh, is it 400% now?” he blinked innocently at the man who was berating him, his voice increasing and his ears reddening from his emotions. It was fun to see him like this, Seong-min noted. He was always calm and collected even in the face of emergencies. Seokjin seemed to always know what to do in every situation, and now, one mention of your name and he became like this.

With a forced smile, Seokjin turned to face Seong-min, his voice low and tinged with frustration. "I don't know what you're talking about," he muttered, though the denial rang hollow even to his own ears.

Seong-min merely chuckled, unfazed by Seokjin's attempt at deflection. "Come on, Jin. It's written all over your face," he teased, leaning in closer as if sharing a secret. "You can't fool me.”

He glared at him and Seong-min felt a shiver down his spine as though he was facing a dangerous person and not the peace-loving and hardworking doctor he knew since they were in university. “Fine! I just asked because my friend saw Doctor Y/N and asked me to set her up with him! I was just being a good friend to you-“

What?

See, the mention of another man was what finally pushed him to the very edge and he could feel the fragile sanity of his breaking. However, what he didn’t expect from his genius brain was stupidity.

“Seong-min, are you even using your brain? Why would I, the perfect and genius Doctor Kim Seokjin, ever like someone as bland as her? I have taste. And she could never reach my taste in women. She’s not the same stature as me. She’s so far below me that it’s embarrassing to even insinuate that I feel something for her. Besides, I only entertain her because she’s funny-“

Seong-min’s eyes went in front as the line moved, and it was because of you.

With the steaming cup of hot coffee in your hand, you turned to them. You didn’t say anything. You just watched as Seokjin continued his tirade, completely unaware of your presence, adding lashes to your heart and ego.

God, you were so embarrassed. How could you have thought that he was anything but a rich man who looked down at people beneath him? How could he hurt you where it hurts?

“Honestly, the least she could do is to move faraway from me. She’s nothing-“

It was only when Seong-min pushed his shoulder that he finally noticed you and your tear-filled eyes. He blinked repeatedly as though he was just starting to understand of your presence here, that you were not just a figment of his worst nightmare came to life.

He called for you.

He knew he did.

But instead, you stalked away from him as you tried to salvage whatever was left of your dignity.

“Seriously, Seokjin, you’re an idiot,” Seong-min said, shaking his head in disdain. Seokjin had no choice but to agree.

He was the biggest idiot.

ACOTAR COUPLES X TAYLOR SWIFT SONGS

✨Wildest Dreams

✨Dancing with Our Hands Tied

✨Timeless

[🎶And somehow I know that you and I would have found each other, in another life you still would have turned my head. Even if we’d met on a crowded street in 1944 and you were headed off to fight in the war, you still would have been mine we would have been timeless🎶]

✨The Alchemy

[🎶Cheers chanting cause they said there was no chance trying to be the greatest in the league. where’s the trophy? He just comes running over to me🎶]

✨Lover

[🎶Theres a dazzling haze a mysterious way about you dear. Have I know you twenty seconds or twenty years? Can I go where you go? Can we always be this close? Forever and ever🎶]

[mastermindmp3]

loml analysis

(Almost 2 Days late), but I’d like to jot some thoughts down about this song. Honestly, I like this song, but it’s definitely lower in my ranking of TTPD. I’m a professed lover of lines people hate, but even I’m a little turned away by Mr. Steal Your Girl and make her cry.

But, I will give it credit, this line is a very good summation at the song. The narrator, lured and seduced away from a long relationship, into promises made by a “con man” who says he can give her everything she wants; Implied to be what her current lover cannot. Talking rings and talking cradles, I wish I could unrecall how we almost had it all.

The conman, as we’ll call him, is an old lover. We embroidered the memories of the time I was away, preserving them as a memento, and moving on to her love with him. The main refrain of you said I’m the love of your life, about a million times ties us back into other songs. The love bombing of Down Bad, the specificity of “you said” in a rather accusatory tone. The speaker is throwing it in her new lover’s face. You said you loved me.

loml paints a specific, sad portrait. Sworn to have changed, the conman plays the exact same role he always has, selling the narrator on his view of heaven (with her,) and then, once he’s made his metaphorical coin, leaving her high and dry. I think it’s so sad; she cries that they should’ve let it stayed buried.

I think a lot of people have talked about the line dancing phantoms on the terrace, are they secondhand embarrassed that I can’t get out of bed ‘cause something counterfeit’s dead? I… love it. Again, we see that “album in conversation with itself.” idea, with the fact that the narrator’s previous relationship is always represented by death. Her beloved ghost, the funeral bells in So Long London, they all tie into this. The "good" relationship the speaker feels she should be mourning, the idea of the wholesome life, cringes at her crying over a thief.

It may have been counterfeit, but it still died, and the narrator wants to mourn. There’s a lot, in this album, about things that only appear to be the real, and how cherishing the fake can still have the same impacts as if it were real.

After all… he’s the loss of [her] life.

I’d also like to point out the idea that the second love is a mirror of the first. The conman promised everything the narrator wanted with the lover she leaves in London, and hurtled her towards the same end: lonely, pining, and hurt.

[wavesoutbeingtossed]

Unexpectedly getting angry at 1:30 am about how the reason MH knew what buttons to push to pull Taylor was because she’d probably confided what she was most hurt about losing in the demise of her relationship with Joe and his reaction was to twist that knife as deep into her back as he could 😵‍💫

(I’ve been on a loml all day and the “talking rings and talking cradles I wish I could unrecall how we almost had it all” is making me ill because with one person those were very real plans that seemed to have died an excruciatingly long death and with the other those were the tools of manipulation to get what he wanted knowing exactly how painful it had been in the first instance.)

[catcherinwhitebread]

Lorelai and Luke's songs on The Tortured Poets Department: loml

It's self-explanatory; Luke is the love of Lorelai's life and the loss of her life. This song is about the devastation of them calling off their engagement and cancelling everything at the end of season 6.

I felt aglow like this never before and never since. Obviously, this is about how Luke is unique amongst Lorelai's boyfriends (because he is, in fact, the love of her life).

you and I go from one kiss to getting married... It seems like the straight-forward way to interpret this lyric is it meaning that the progression from first kiss to marriage is rapid, but I think to me it means more that the progression is smooth and natural. They are so right for each other that from the first kiss it was inevitable they were going to get married, and it's no surprise for it to happen, so that it could seem like it passed in the blink of an eye. And I feel like that applies to Lorelai and Luke.

in your suit and tie, in the nick of time; you lowdown boy, you standup guy. I honestly just love these simple little lyrics. And think I can relate them perfectly to Luke. (he wears a suit and tie. and it's the nick of time when he finally makes a move on Lorelai at Liz' wedding) (he's a lowdown (secretive) kind of boy) (he's a standup guy)

you told me I'm the love of your life... I think when Luke told Lorelai how he waited 8 years... he was basically saying she was the love of his life.

what we thought was for all time was momentary. Yeah ouch

you cinephile, in black and white, all those plot twists and dynamite Just for fun: (Lorelai is a total cinephile)

TALKING RINGS AND TALKING CRADLES I WISH I COULD UNRECALL HOW WE ALMOST HAD IT ALL I am dying. They had all those conversations and plans about marriage and moving in together and having kids... they both wanted kids... they had this life ahead of them that slipped from their hands...

it was legendary. it was momentary.

what a bland goodbye... 'I slept with Christopher' and Luke driving away was painfully bland.

I'll never leave - never mind. What happened to 'I'm all in'????

you're the loss of my life. Losing Luke was a whole lot of a bigger thing in Lorelai's life than losing anyone other guy. She didn't necessarily act like it, but the people around her did (like Rory or Sookie), and it was losing a friend too and losing an element of her life (Luke's coffee), and it was losing what had been her best chance at a forever relationship.
