Virtues forgotten dance in the mind. They linger on sleepless nights, bathing the purest rooms in red light as if it were iron to rust. Of humility and purity, in the lord we trust.

You stared around your room, putting down your phone and looking at your bedside clock. 2:47 AM it read. You weren't getting sleep tonight. Again.

You sighed and rolled over, pulling the blankets up over your head, shut the world out and sleep. Sleep did claim you after about ten minutes but it was a restless slumber, one that wouldn't do much to help you in the morning. It was a miracle you hadn't been laid off from work yet, always sleeping, always late, your work always looking like you didn't try.

You opened your eyes and looked around, you were no longer in your room, but a dark hallway, you walked down it staring at the walls. Who in their right mind put wood flooring for walls? Bright light was on your left and you shielded your eyes. What kind of moron puts lights in the w-

You stumbled cutting off your train of thought. You'd bumped your toe on something, your winced and rubbed your toe, looking back for what you hit.. a doorknob.

You stood, looking down. The person who built this place wasn't crazy, you were walking on walls like a spider almost.

You started walking again and then you heard a crackling surge of electricity before the light beside you burst. You shrieked in fear and jumped looking back as all the lights behind you shattered.

And then you saw it.

You saw them.

A pair of bright green eyes stared at you in the darkness.

You held your breath and stayed still. Maybe it couldn't see you.

Whatever had those eyes lunged for you. Quickly slimming the distance between you and it. You took off running the other way, as it grew closer and closer, light after light shattering before you could make out what it was.

You stepped on a door that was ajar and fell into the room, screaming as it dove in after you, the lights exploding, plunging you into darkness the only light its green eyes locked on you, growing closer and closer.

Hands wrapped around your throat as it finally closed the distance between you and you clawed at it in defense of yourself. Your nails throbbed in pain as they snagged on something and you tried to cry out.

As your vision blurred you saw a burst of light and the thing fell off you, you scrambled away and stepped out an open window in the darkness. Waking up with a scream.

You looked at your clock. it read 4:01 AM.

"You look rough." Your friend, Jaehwa said in the breakroom at work that day. "How many cups of coffee have you had?"

You racked your brain for a moment. "7-"

"That's enough." Soojin, your other friend took the cup from you. "Y/n. How long are you going to keep living like this?"

"Like what?" You look at your friends.

Jaehwa sighed. "Like you're being haunted by something."

You made a face.

"Maybe you should take a break," Soojin suggested. "Go out for drinks? Catch a movie? Stay home and sleep?"

You nodded. "I'll ask for time off next week I guess."

"You really need it." Jaehwa said, shaking his head.

"I'm going off next week so you might not be able to." A woman said behind you, stirring her coffee, "Someone's gotta write the story."

You returned to your desk, practically green with envy, and got back to work on your current article for the paper. But your fingers flying swiftly across your keyboard came to a halt. Your thought fogged. You felt like something was staring at you.

You felt vulnerable... Your breath picked up the pace and your eyes darted around for a moment. Then you saw it in the corner of your vision... A man with short, dark hair and piercing green eyes looking at you.

You almost shrieked.

Almost.

Instead, you sighed and threw paper over the divider between your cubicle and your other friend, Jake's.

"What was that for?!" he grumbled.

"Nothing." You shrugged feeling a bit safer now that there was someone else looking at you.

"You know.." The woman to your right leaned over and whispered very loudly. "If you're so scared.."

She could tell...?

"Write an article about the paranormal.." She nodded, fixing her big framed glasses and moving back to her cubicle.

You didn't say anything for a long moment. "Yeah maybe."

You got immersed in reading some interview record about a singer's affair and possible divorce when a paper ball smacked the back of your head, and you were pulled from the website you were reading on.

"Working yourself tired isn't any more healthy than overdosing on caffeine." Soojin grabbed you. "We're going for drinks, come with us."

"Like that's any more healthy." You rolled your eyes but let her drag you out.

In Jaehwa's car, another coworker, Joohyeong was singing loudly to the radio with Soojin.

"AH!" Jaehwa finally snapped and turned off the radio.

"Hey!" Joohyeong huffed.

"Turn it back on." Soojin reached to the front to turn it on and Jaehwa smacked hr and Joohyeong's hands away, only semi-paying attention to the road.

"Jae-" You started, as he came to an intersection.

"Lemme listen to the damn radio!" Joohyeong snapped.

"I will not listen to your horrendous voice." Jaehwa said.

The light at the intersection turned red.

"You're no fun!" Soojin grumbled as she reached from the back over the console for the radio.

The blare of a horn and the glaring light to your left made you scream. "Jaehwa!"

He whipped his head around and just as you thought you were dead the other car screeched to a halt, bumping the car.

You stared in shock for a moment...

"It's a miracle." Soojin breathed as the other driver reversed.

Jaehwa sighed. "Food?"

You opened your mouth to speak.

"Enjoy life now, worry about insurance later." He continued again and you relaxed into your seat.

You got to a small pizza place and looked around as Jaehwa ordered then sat to call his insurance company about the small dent in his car door. You closed your eyes for a brief moment trying to catch up on your thoughts, the blank darkness didn't last long. You saw a hallway a man sat in a chair, surrounded by red yarn. Like a spiderweb.

You stared at him for a moment and he tilted his head before pointing behind you. You turned and gasped as a man with light brown hair and furious red eyes raised a power drill and stared at you.

You took off running to the man in the string chamber down the hall but the man behind you was faster pouncing on you as you screamed. You hissed in pain as you landed awkwardly on your wrist. He turned you over and aimed to drive the revving power drill through your eye.

"Minho.." A sleepy voice said.

The man on top of you looked over his shoulder and you shoved him and sprinted. You crashed through the string and someone grabbed you and slammed you against the wall with such force it broke and you fell into darkness.

You opened your eyes with a gasp and grabbed your wrist, there was a dull aching there, Jaehwa, Joohyeong, and Soojin stared at you. You got up before any of them could speak and ran out of the restaurant, sprinting down the street and bumping into a very shady-looking man.

"Woah there." He grabbed your shoulders. "Calm down."

You tried to pull away. "I'm sorry-"

"I'm serious calm down, what's wrong?" He squeezed you a bit tighter and you tensed.

"Please let go of me." You tried to pull away.

"Where are you headed? Maybe I can take you there?"

"Please just let go." You pulled free and shoved him, backing up.

His eyes narrowed. "This is what I get for trying to help a senseless bitch." He grabbed for you and you put your arms up in defense of yourself. He gripped your face roughly almost choking you. "Stop being such a crybaby."

"Don't touch me!" You thrashed and tried to get away but he dragged you.

"You think you're so special, eh?!" He raised a hand to hit you.

You braced yourself for a blow... that.. never came. You opened your eyes and saw a man with dark hair and piercing eyes. A glint of violet in them making your heart race. The dark-haired man held your assailant's wrist.

"What?" Your attack fired at the man. "This your whore?" He shook your shoulder roughly.

"Release her." The man said.

"If I don't? You'll hit me, pretty boy?!"

The man tilted his head slightly. "You're quite cocky... Good for me."

Your eyes widened as his grip on the other man's wrist visibly tightened until you heard cracking. Your assailant screamed and crumbled to his knees.

"You litt-" he started.

"You don't fear death... do you?" The dark-haired man leaned down.

Your attacker's eyes widened and then he screamed in terror.

You stumbled back, looking between your attacker and the man.

The man finally released the writhing criminal and looked up, eyes meeting yours.

You held your breath for a brief second before you took off running.

By the time you got to bed, you were exhausted. Every muscle in your body ached and your head pounded. The moment you were situated your eyes drifted shut quickly. You opened them to a long dark hallway, the few lights that illuminated it were red. Your eyes widened slightly as you realized you weren't walking on the walls.

As you walked you noticed how quiet the place was, you could hear your own feet padding softly on the wood floor. You peeked into a room, seeing nothing but pitch black, then a blaring white light came on, a chandelier of circular lights and with strange images on the walls, you walked in and looked around the room for a moment before the lights in the hallway burst. You froze, staring at the door like a deer in headlights. And there he stood. The man who'd saved you earlier, albeit a bit different.

His hair was straighter a soft gingery color, and he wore all white. You could've said it wasn't him but there was the unmistakable glint of violet in his eye.

He tilted his head, staring at you. "You shouldn't be here."

You held your breath for a moment.

"You did a lot of screaming earlier. It's a little too quiet now don't you think?" He stepped into the room, his muscles flexed as he dragged the chains in after him, and the door slammed shut. "Well, aren't you going to thank your savior?"

"Savior..." You stared up at him. "What even are you, where am I-"

He reached out and hesitated. "Seungmin and Minho said the angel lingers around you.." he leaned in close, breath against your ear. "Where is he?"

"I don't know who you're talking about." You backed up, tensing as you felt a wall behind you.

"Godforsaken cun-" He looked back at you, stopping himself. "You haven't seen him yet?"

"I don't even know who you're talking about." You started rambling. "I swear I've never seen any angel or anything. I don't even know how I'm here or why. I-" You shrieked as his hand slammed against the wall beside your head.

"Answer the question you're asked." he said, eyes narrowing.

"No... I haven't seen him." You swallowed.

"Good." He grabbed your face gently, thumb rubbing over something.

You made a face.

"That man left a bruise.." he muttered.

"Oh- I-"

He rubbed the mark gently and smiled. "All gone."

You pulled away and cupped the side of your face, rubbing your jaw slightly. "Thank you..."

He raised a brow, smiling gently at you.

"For saving me." You shrank slightly under his gaze. Fear. You should feel fear. You should cower at whatever this man was but no, as he leaned closer your heart raced not out of utter terror. But something else..

His lips met yours gently. You stiffened for a brief moment before relaxing as his hand moved to cup your face, before his fingers entangled in your hair and he forced your body impossibly closer, tongue prodding for entry to your mouth and you granted him it. His full being shrouding your mind in dark clouds as he fogged your senses. His lips broke away from yours and kissed your jaw gently before you felt something sharp rake across your neck.

Your eyes widened but he sank his fangs in. You gasped. Was he a blood sucker? A vampire? EW!

He pulled away slowly and you grabbed your neck the area throbbed.

"What did you-" You started.

"Before anything else." His voice was in your head and you stared in fear. "You are mine."

You woke with a gasp and grabbed your neck. The area throbbing. You turned on your lamp and looked at yourself in the mirror, eyes going wide at the sight of a cross seated on a bruise on your neck.

You tried hiding the mark on your neck the following day with makeup. After you were positive it was hidden you went to work, only to be greeted by a "Y/N GOT A TATTOO!?"

You cringed. "Yeah..." What the fuck... I covered it. I know I covered it.

"She must've gone to the liquor store without us." Joohyeong sighed. "Got drunk and made a mistake."

"Yeah." You lied through your teeth as you sat.

"You know..." The woman in the cubicle beside you said, "It's not a bad look..."

You looked at her. "Thanks." You smiled tightly and turned to your work.

After an hour of diligent work, you went to the break room. You got hot water in a mug, about to make yourself a cup of instant coffee when you remembered what Soojin said and you made grabs for the tea instead.

As you opened the cabinet, a bit roughly, you reached in for the tea bag and the cabinet door swung back to your hand you were about to pull back to try and rescue your hand from the impending blow but the door stopped.

You stared at it for a moment, poking it. The door swung back gently. Your brows furrowed and you got the tea and turned to the mug, you opened the tea bag and set it into the water. When you moved to grab the cup, your hand bumped the counter and you retracted it in pain just as the scalding hot tea splashed onto the counter.

You blinked slowly then the memory hit you like a freight train. "Seungmin and Minho said the angel lingers around you.."

"Talk about a guardian angel." You hummed and cleaned up, grabbing the now much cooler mug and going to your desk.

Hyunjin made a face. Here I am protecting you and you compare me to that angel bastard...

You went home and stared at the mirror. The mark on your neck was very noticeable even if you covered it in makeup it seemed to resurface on your skin. You got in bed and stared at the ceiling. What if you ended up there again... Your eyes drifted shut after a while and for the first time in a long time, you dreamed a good dream. You were lying in a flower field, butterflies fluttering around under the sun as birds sang.

You turned and smiled at a blonde haired man next to you, his innocent smile filling you with such warmth as his lips moved. But you couldn't hear him. You looked back at the sky and reached your hand up.

The man beside you grabbed you gently, brows furrowing as he stared at you... at your neck and his eyes flicked up and met yours. He reached and pressed his hand to it pulling away with a pained expression.

Then you fell through the ground and everything became loud. You fell through the darkness grabbing for something, anything. Why weren't you waking up, usually you woke up, what was wrong?! You did grab something, you stared at the man. The one who'd marked you.

"You-" You started but he pulled you up with such force you stumbled as you landed, falling into his chest.

"Didn't I tell you you're mine?" He looked down at you.

You pulled back and pointed a finger at him. "I don't even know you! I don't know what you did to me but undo it!"

He blinked and raised a brow. "Did the angel give you the mouth to speak to me like that?"

"What angel!?" You shouted.

He grabbed you and pulled a flower from your hair. "You saw him."

You opened your mouth then closed it. "Who? Who are you? What is this!?"

He sighed and sat at a big desk, staring at you from his leather chair. "Come here."

You stayed where you were.

"I said 'Come here.'" He said lowly.

You walked to him. "What the fuck-" You hadn't wanted to move.

He hummed softly and wrapped an arm around your waist, pulling you into his lap. "I wouldn't get too angry, you might wake Minho." He rubbed your thigh and gave it a soft squeeze.

"That doesn't tell me who you are." You stared at him.

"My name is Chan. I am as kind as you will ever get here." He said, moving a finger and opening a book on the desk "You're a very proud woman. Easily scared but proud."

You stared at him. "What are you?"

"Now you're asking the right questions." He smiled at you, squeezing your side gently. "I am the oldest of 8 brothers, Chan, sin of pride. At your service."

You blinked slowly. "I'm dreaming."

"Are you?" A soft voice said in your ear.

You jumped and Chan held you tighter.

"Hyunjin." he turned to the long haired man. "Don't scare her."

Hyunjin stared at you. "I'll do more than that." He smirked and turned to Chan's shelf. "She looks cute scared."

"Excuse me?!" You huffed loudly.

"Chan you see she's bound to get killed." Hyunjin hummed. "Let me have her."

Chan had a blank expression. "Who's going to kill her?"

"Minho is going to find her with how often she's showing us her rage. Just imagine how he'd tear her to pieces or feed her to the dogs."

"Hyunjin!" Chan shouted.

You stiffened slightly in fear, a man stood at the door. The man who had the power drill, whose eyes were an enraged red color.

"Minho." Chan said, looking at him.

You held your breath for a moment. The moment didn't last long as a trident spiraled straight at Hyunjin who shrieked as you covered your eyes, telling yourself it was a dream.

It's all a dream.

You woke up with a start, eyes flicking around in fear.

Sleep didn't come to you much after that. It wasn't that you ever fell asleep, you were too scared. At a company dinner later that week you met Juwon, he was very nice and seemed to understand your sleep problems.

"I know it's really unconventional, but have you tried running around your house? It's very tiring."

You giggled. "No, I haven't, I'll think about it though."

Juwon invited you out for drinks and he was a bit cute, but somewhere between getting shit-faced and falling asleep, you ended up in his bed. Of course, you got knocked out right after but the feeling of being well rested despite the soreness between your legs the next morning put a pep in your step the next day. Friday. Finally...

"That wasn't very nice of you." A voice whispered into your ear as you sipped your coffee in the break room.

You jumped, turning to see none other than Hyunjin, poking at the coffee machine. "How are you-"

"Shh." he smiled, "They might think you're crazy."

You pursed your lips as he leaned in close.

"I didn't think Chan's little human was such a slut." He said lowly.

Your brows furrowed. "You aren't real-"

Hyunjin rested his hands on either side of the counter, caging you in. "I'm very real, pretty." He said, pink eyes seeming to glow.

"How-"

Hyunjin kissed you. Your eyes widened and he pulled away. "It's not fair that he claimed you first... You summoned me." Hyunjin muttered.

You stared at him. What did he mean you summoned him?

Hyunjin grabbed your waist and lifted you onto the counter. "What I'd do.. If I had you..." Hyunjin muttered. Your eyes met and he smiled gently, "I'd worship you.." His hand moved between your legs.

There was something about his eyes that wouldn't let you look away. Something about his beautiful rose-colored eyes. It had you in an anaconda's grip. Your hand flew to cover your mouth as you moaned, Hyunjin was rubbing gently at your clit. When had he gotten your pants off... How had you let him...

"I want to hear you, y/n.." he muttered, lifting his finger to examine it before slipping it back into you.

You moaned and almost hit your head on the cabinet, Hyunjin grabbed you and pulled you to him. You held onto his shoulders tightly, whimpering and gasping as his finger moved in and out of you quickly before he added a second and a third.

He pulled back and kissed you hard, tongue dancing with yours as his taste filled your mouth. He curled his fingers against your g-spot and you moaned into his mouth.

You felt the knot in your gut tightening, dangerously close to breaking. You moaned louder, tears pricking the corners of your eyes.

"Cum for me.." he breathed against your lips.

You came, hard, it was an earth shattering orgasm the made your head go blank for a moment. He pulled away with a satisfied smirk and you whimpered, legs weak, trying to hold yourself up against the counter. You looked up and Hyunjin was gone.

But as you collected yourself and left the break room a voice in your head told you, "You've already sold your soul."

You fell asleep the moment you hit your bed that night, this was exhausting, trying to stay up purely out of the fear that you might not see Chan or Hyunjin but one of the other monsters haunting your dreams was becoming unbearable. You looked at your phone, 10:46 PM. You set it down and tried to sleep, expecting to barely get any, as usual. Then you felt it. The room felt warmer somehow.

You opened your eyes to a room bathed in a soft yellow glow, you looked around for a moment. A small fireplace on one wall and a desk to the left. You turned around and saw a plush bed, you walked over to it, fingertips gently grazing the soft sheets.

"You had fun today.." Chan muttered in your ear.

You jumped in fear. "Don't do that!"

"Says the person in my room without my permission." he huffed. You noticed then, his chest was partially exposed, more than half the buttons undone.

"You act like I chose to appear here." You rolled your eyes.

"The same way you chose to sleep with that human," he said, expression blank.

You didn't speak for a moment. "I was drunk.." You wondered why he hadn't mentioned anything about what Hyunjin had done.

"You're worse than Changbin.." He muttered under his breath.

"How prideful are you really if it bothers you? You must feel threatened." You shot before you could stop yourself.

Chan turned slowly, staring at you. "Repeat that?"

You didn't.

Chan walked towards you, gaze fixated on yours as you stumbled, the backs of your knees hitting the bed lightly. You fell back onto the plush bedding and Chan stared at you, pupils dilating as he took you in.

"He made you feel good?" He raised a brow.

You blinked. "I-"

"Answer." He leaned down.

"Yes.." You breathed.

Chan bit his lip and sighed deeply. "What did I tell you..."

"I belong to you." Your heart was racing, curse this demon with his beautiful face.

"Are you proud of yourself?" He traced a line down your pajama clad body and stopped at your hip.

You didn't know how to answer that.

He tilted his head, "Cat got your tongue?"

You swallowed.

"Move up." He said.

You did as you were told and scurried up the bed, staring at Chan as he climbed onto the bed, it dipped with his weight as he grew closer to you. "Chan-" You started but he pounced on you, pinning you beneath his weight.

"Did I say you could talk?"

Your stomach flipped. "No.."

He groaned and kissed you, his tongue forcing its way into your mouth tasting you. You whimpered into the kiss and grabbed the wrist of the hand he had on your face. His tongue clashed with you and you relaxed, yielding to him.

He pulled away, eyes wide for a moment as if mesmerized before he moved down and dragged your pants and panties off your legs. "He touched you here?"

You stiffened as his finger brushed over your clit, he stared at your womanhood, eyes unmoving. You thought he had no reaction, nothing to say at all to you until your gaze drifted to his crotch and you saw the impressive tent in his pants. A dull ache thrummed between your thighs and you looked up, squeaking slightly at the sight of a smirk on his face.

"You like what you see?" He teased.

"You-"

His finger found your clit again and you moaned. "Who do you belong to?"

"You.." You whined.

"Good girl." He dragged his middle finger over your folds collecting your slick. He stared at it for a brief moment before slipping his finger into you.

You gasped, bucking up slightly.

He let out a breath before his thumb joined the slow drag of his finger.

"Chan!" You whined, trying to move your hips for a faster pace.

"No, no." He tutted, holding you down by the hip and plunging his finger into you only a bit faster.

You squirmed, shuffling your hips a bit to take more of his finger into you. "Please!"

"Please what?" Chan tilted his head, that smirk on his face getting to your head.

"Fuck me.." You relented softly.

"What was that?" Chan hummed, finger still dipping into you with languid thrusts.

"F-fuck me!" You said louder this time, eyes pleading.

"Oh... Poor girl..." Chan reached his other hand to caress your face, it was a gentle action as if that same hand hadn't left bruises on your hip from how tightly he held you.

"Please.." You begged.

Chan let his head fall back before rolling it back to look at you. "How could I refuse you.." He rasped before drawing out his finger and shoving in a second.

You wailed and bucked, he smirked as his thumb found its way to your nub, moving over it in quick swipes and figure 8 motions over and over as his fingers fucked into you faster.

Your cries bounced off the walls and you feared for a brief moment, you'd be heard. Thighs shaking, pussy walls fluttering, you could feel the coil tightening in your abdomen. Your moans and pleas grow in pitch at your impending orgasm.

And then he pulled away.

"WHY!?" You sobbed.

"Don't worry about the others," Chan muttered, staring at the slick on his fingers. "They'll get their turn." He licked his fingers, tasting you and moaning softly before pressing them to your lips.

Your cheeks went redder if that was possible.

"Open." He ordered.

You did and he pressed his fingers to your tongue. "Suck."

You got wetter as you followed his command, your disrupted orgasm building again when he wasn't even touching you.

He smiled and shrugged off his shirt before lifting your legs. You gasped as he dragged you partially onto his lap, your heat level with his plump lips. "Did that human bastard touch you like this?" He breathed against your cunt.

Your walls fluttered helplessly around nothing. "No-"

Chan raised a brow.

"N-No.." You stammered.

"Has anyone?" He questioned, gaze darkening.

"No." You panted.

"Good.." His tongue slipped out giving your pussy a tentative lick before releasing a shaky breath into your heat.

Your cunt throbbed and you whimpered. Chan licked a big stripe of your pussy, tongue pressing flat against your opening and thinning to flick at your clit. You moaned and squirmed but he held your hips tightly tongue pushing between your folds as his finger rubbed at your clit. You felt the knot in your belly tightening again, you moaned louder, begging him not to stop and as if on cue. He stopped.

"Please!" You sobbed.

He pulled back after a moment staring at your womanhood slick with your essence and his saliva before gathering saliva in his mouth and spitting on your hole.

You tensed slightly at the impact, he rubbed three fingers against your pussy before sinking them into you and curling them to find your g-spot.

Your body jerked and he smiled, whispering. "Found you."

You gasped as he pulled away letting your body fall back flat against the bed, he spread his fingers every now and then stretching you.

"You like that?" He asked as he leaned over you, fingering you roughly.

You gasped and moaned, "Please please!"

"You wanna cum?" He asked, fingers losing rhythm, every few moments slowing.

"Ye, I want to cum Chan please!" You sobbed.

"Ohh. My poor baby." Chan cooed as your pussy clenched tightly around his fingers. He pulled his fingers out and slapped your pussy, not hard enough to hurt, but just enough to send a jolt of pleasure up your spine.

"Please Chan." You sniffed, tears filling your eyes.

"Fuck..." Chan pushed his fingers into you, his thumb working at your clit. "Don't cry baby." He said, resisting the shit eating grin that wanted to come to his face.

You mewled as his pace became furious and uneven, and as the pressure built in your abdomen again you begged, "Channie please, please let me cum."

Chan's eyes met yours and he leaned down, "I'm going to make you cum... This is my pussy eh?"

"Yes, yours!" You moaned.

"Doesn't matter who's in it, you'll come back to me, because you belong to me!"

You nodded, brain fogging and pussy clenching.

"Say it." He grabbed your face. "Say it!"

"Yours I'm yours!" You screamed as the band in your belly finally broke and you came hard, eyes rolling back as you let out a broken sob, Chan kept fingering you, stretching your orgasm thin. "Too much, Chan oh god!"

"Too much yet your pussy is still taking my fingers so greedily." He taunted, fingers slowing to a deep drag between your walls.

You trembled, panting and trying to collect your mind.

"That human can't make you cum like that can he?" Chan asked, pulling his fingers out of you.

You shook your head, dazed.

"Glad you know, I might just ruin you for anyone else." Chan pulled off his pants and boxers, exposing his thick length.

Your eyes widened slightly. "I-" Of course, you'd stare, no wonder he'd spent so much time prepping you, he was big. Big enough to make your pussy clench on nothing while your stomach flipped. No wonder he was the sin of pride... he has something to be proud about alright.

Chan smirked and got between your legs, taking hold of his manhood and slapping it against your sensitive clit, huffing a small laugh at the whimper you let out. "Cute.." He breathed, rubbing his length against you. Then he lined himself up and sank into you, brows furrowing.

You gripped his muscular arms, nails digging into his perfect skin as he split you open, going in deeper and deeper, slowly. The stretch was a lot, you panted and bit your lip, Chan's eyes were fixated on the way your pussy gave way to his length, his tip met your cervix and you gasped. He held himself there for a moment, letting out a breathy moan before pulling out slowly, letting out a low almost growling moan. He lammed back into you, knocking the air from your lungs.

His body pinned yours to the bed, rutting into you over and over as your moans filled the room, the bed creaking under the force of his thrusts. His lips hovered over yours, breath mingling as your eyes met, your walls clenched at the intimacy of it. Chan smirked and kissed you, tongue roaming your mouth and tasting every part of you. A grunt or groan responding to your moans and whimpers.

He pulled back and grabbed your shirt, lifting it over your breasts, to watch the way they bounced with every thrust. Your hands reached down wandering helplessly, aimlessly as you tried to get your bearings. Chan clouded your senses, completely fogging your mind, all you could think about was how his dick stretched you, the way he bruised your cervix, fucking into you mercilessly.

"Feels good baby?" He asked, grabbing your arms and pulling you into his thrusts.

You couldn't make a sentence, brain was completely turned to mush by the man- demon above you.

"Look at you..." He grunted. "All dumb on my cock."

You couldn't keep your eyes open, it was too much, you felt the pressure building again and you clenched your fists in Chan's grip.

"Fuck-" Chan grunted and you opened your eyes looking down, you moaned as he pushed in completely, gaze glued to the way your tummy bulged slightly with every thrust. His free hand roamed over your tummy before pushing down gently.

You moaned loudly and your walls clamped down in an orgasm that knocked your brain off the rails. Your fluids coating his lower abdomen and cock. You let out a choked sob as Chan kept pounding into you.

"It's too much!" You moaned.

"Take it." He growled.

Your eyes widened as he pinned your hands above your head, not letting you recover from your orgasm as his cock hit you deep. "CHAN!"

"I'm going to put a baby in you," he drawled, almost drunk. "You want me to fuck my seed into you?"

You moaned and couldn't figure out how to respond.

"I'm going to fill you with my seed, make you a mommy." He grunted.

Your pussy clenched hard, and Chan came hard inside you, pelvis meeting yours as he released rope after rope of his seed into you, letting out a stifled whimper. His climax pushed you over the edge and you spasmed, tears clouding your vision.

Chan pulled out, releasing your wrists, and stared at you laying there, pussy clenching around nothing. He adored the sight of you ruined, by him... he wanted to do it again but he restrained himself. yet as your legs trembled he stared with wide eyes at your pussy leaking his seed.

You gasped as he flipped you onto your belly and lifted your ass, pushing your shoulders down, making you arch your back. He gave your butt a sharp slap then gripped the flesh. He took his cock in his hand and collected his cum on the tip. "Don't waste my seed.." he said lowly before shoving his cock into you, hips smacking against your ass.

You moaned into the pillow, gripping the sheets as he pushed his seed deep into you. Chan groaned at the way your backside jiggled from the impact of his pelvis, eyes watching intently as your pussy swallowed his cock. He leaned forward grabbing the headboard and grunting as he fucked into you harder. You came quickly, sobbing and babbling into the pillow from overstimulation. Chan kept rutting into you, you could feel every pulse and throb of his cock before he came inside you again. Groaning as your cunt squeezed the life out of him. He fell onto your teeth latching onto your shoulder to muffle the strangled whine that escaped his throat. You lay there panting and trembling as he pulled out.

You felt the bed dip as Chan moved, getting up to go somewhere. You hadn't been expecting much from a demon. The demon of pride no less, he didn't time for a human like y-

You felt the bed dip as Chan returned, cleaning you with a damp cloth. Your heart fluttered.

He left again for a moment before coming back and hugging you to his chest. "You're mine." He muttered against your hair.

You were quiet for a long moment before you whispered, "... before anything else."

When you woke up, your heart stopped. It was still dark out. But you couldn't move a muscle. And then you saw it in the corner of your vision... a pair of bright golden eyes staring at you. Closer to your door, the shadow of a shorter muscular looking man.

"Jeongin," a gravelly voice said, "I can't believe Chan kept this all for himself."

Chapter 4 : New Life

"Park Jaehwa..."

You say ever so delicately, you thought that he night not have heard, but, he was close enough to hear it even if it was a light whisper. Smirk appears on his face and in swift motion he strides back to his chair making the air around you feel lighter. Your shoulders visibily relaxed and you stand there again, with your hands clasped together.

"Tell one of the lads to get a room cleaned for the girl." He orders to Seonghwa.

"Yes Captain."

There was a pause to Seonghwa's response but then he answered.

"And you, you will be accompanying our Navigator from tomorrow."

He orders pointing at you, and you just nod with an akward smile.

He dismisses you both. Getting out of the meeting room, Seonghwa told you that he will get one of the crew ready her room and inform once its done. Until then you decide to spend your time on the decks, exploring the ship more.

As you are walking to Forecastle you bump into a rock body that made you hold your shoulder in pain with a whispered 'Ow' leaving both of your mouth. As it is a night time you can't see his face that clearly but the mixed light of the lantern and the moon, casting a perfect golden light on his face, highlighting his features made you literally forget your pain.

His long black hairs slicked back with some strands loose on his forehead, seductive eyes and plump lips, getting highlighted in the light. But as you observe more you see the same armband on his arm. Might be one of the seniors.

But when you thought you could walk past him, he starts speaking.

"Hmmm, the hit was hard but I wouldn't mind getting hurt by a pretty lady again and again though."

You stare at him with confusion but still a red tint appears on your cheeks, because 'A guy flirting with you on a Pirate Ship' was what you least expected.

He holds out a hand towards you,

"Hello Milady, my name is Jung Wooyoung."

He introduces himself and you go in to shake his hand, but instead of shaking hands, he brings your hand to his mouth and softly kisses it bowing a little.

Ahh! Here he goes again. The red never leaves your cheeks.

Somehow, his gesture feels recalling.

"I am Jaehwa." You say.

"Oh, that's a pretty name. Respect, Beauty and Prosperity, the name suits you, doesn't it?"

You just smile at him. You just met him but he seems extremely comfortable talking like that.

"Did you get recruited on Ohnoj?"

"Ahh Yes."

"Nice, but then what was your purpose to join?" He asks as you both are leaning against railings. You hesitate to answer but considering that he is one of the Senior, you might trust him with this information.

"I am actually going to help with navigation, to umm..Wonderland."

"Ohhhh" He shouts in surprise.

"Ohh, so you are that girl?"

Ok, so he does know.

"You know it is all around the ship. Everyone is surprised to know there is actually someone out there in their right mind to actually help some pirates to go to Wonderland."

"What do you mean by, 'in the right mind'?"

"Their are actually some people who knows the route, we tried to find them, but they always tried to gatekeep it. The always say that they either forget the route or we did not actually reach there, or something like, the Wonderland does not exist. They always ignore. But you yourself came to us."

Their is a pause

"Wait, you don't have any ill intentions right?? Like, you are going to ask anything in return for showing us the route?"

And you give him the most offended look of the century.

"I mean, we can approve to help you with your benefit, but you aren't going to ask for our whole ship or our souls, right??"

"Oh definately not."

"Then, you are helping us...for free?"

You did not answer him right away.

"Oh OK, that means there is something. What is it."

"I will tell when it's right time."

Just as you complete, a man taps your shoulder making you turn behind.

"Your room is ready, miss."

"Ok then, I will see you tomorrow."

Wooyoung says with a wink and strides away.

You follow the man to your 'new' room. After saying Thank You to the crewmate, you close the door behind your back and let out a long sigh.

As you sit you your bed, you zone out thinking about whatever happened in the day. You are starting your new life and this is not how you expected it to be.

But, you are just too tired to think, so you just lay on the bed and the next is all darkness.

_____

You open your eyes with the sunlight blinding you. Yet you gathered enough courage and got up. You got ready and went up on the deck. Looking at the ship, all the crewmates and the sea, you take a deep breathe. 'Let's do this.'

But, you stop in your steps. Here comes the first, 'What should I do?" The thought comes to mind. You are just too nervous to go find Navigator and start working with him. You just need to be that mentally ready to start working. Also, you don't find any familiar faces from yesterday and that just makes you kinda feel lost.

You are standing at the railing, staring at the endless sea. You try to guess what all the things you will have to assist the navigator with, so that you can be ready. As you are lost in your thoughts, you feel a tap on your right shoulder. You turn your head back, startled, but no one is behind you. Was it real or have you reached till the extent of hallucination.

But as you turn your head to look at the sea again, you are once again startled by the man just beside you, leaning against the railings and facing you with a smirk on his face.

Again, the armband. 'Why does these seniors on this ship with armband have so questioning personality????'You think to yourself.

"Startled?" He asks with a smirk.

Unlike the look on his face, there are literally three big daggers are latched on his waist. Two on the right, one on left.

"No" You answer him side-eyed.

"I just saw you flinching two times."

You decide to stay silent.

"Ohh come on, I like to scare people. Just say you got scared and make this kid happy."

As you think about it, the smirk now appears on your face.

"Nope. I didn't." You say satisfied, but not showing it on face.

"Anyway." He deadpans, rolling his eyes.

"The thing is, they need you in navigation." He says.

Suddenly you are alerted with the information.

"You mean, the navigator called me?"

"Yes."

"You might not know the room right?"

You nod.

"Okay, come follow me."

And, you start heading towards the room.

"You know, the navigator is kinda tough, but you know not that scary than me. He is good though once you get along with him, but at the sa-" You are listening to the blabber of the man leading you to the navigation room. These are really some bunch of weirdos.

As you are out of the navigation room the man with you suddenly stops ahead of you making you fully bump in his back. You back off rubbing your nose.

"How bad, I didn't introduced myself."

"Myself Choi San, and I am Sword Master of the ship." He shakes your hand with a small smile on his face.

He fully opens the door of the navigation room revealing the beautiful little wodden cave decorated with maps, compasses, hourglasses, telescopes and spy glass, ropes, pictures pinned up against walls, many diaries, route maps, etc. No doubt, this might be the most interesting place on this ship, and you wish to explore it more than anything and anyone. But, most important than all of these, you find the navigator in the middle of the room, leaning against the table with maps. He looks so invested in his work that it almost feels bad to interrupt him. But your loud ass companion breaks the navigators bubble but loudly calling out for him.

"Heyyyy, Good Morning Yeosang. How is your day so far mate??"

"It's good."

As you follow behind San, Yeosang gives your short look. As you are in front of him across the table, he introduces himself.

"Hello, I am Kang Yeosang, the navigator of the ship. And you must be-"

"Yes, I am Jaehwa."

"Nice to meet you." Like, San said he does not seem tough or scary, but he does have a poker face on. Guess he will loosen up soon.

"Umm...is there any work that I can do?" You ask Yeosang.

"Nothing for now, but I have decided that you will be assisting me with finding constellations and with their record. So, you will need to work mostly at evening and night."

He says and you nod in understanding.

"For now you can you for your Basic Combat Training."

You are confused for a minute and the frown on you face is vibrant.

"Wait, what do you mean."

"Your Basic training." San butts in.

"You need to get basic training for fighting battle. Come on, let's go."

You are Doomed.

Chapter 5 : The Judgement

[lgcjaehwa]

jas can cook! ep 04: indonesian rendang curry chicken word count: 519

after returning from their jakarta stop during last year's asia tour, jaehwa vividly remembered craving spicy rendang curry chicken—a piping hot bowl of curry filled with generous chunks of chicken paired with rice. the aromatic smell and sweet-spicy flavor of the curry had lured her like a bee to a flower.

"welcome to another episode of 'jas can cook!' today, i'll be making a dish i've been craving since crystallis' asia tour last year. i've tried it in restaurants in korea, but i still prefer the one overseas. can you guess what it is? here's a hint: it's an indonesian dish. i'll give you a few seconds to guess!" with that, the screen cut off, and the camera panned over the ingredients neatly placed on the counter.

"if your guess is rendang curry chicken, ding dong deng! you're correct!" she hit a little xylophone that had been sitting in the corner of the studio. "my indonesian audience, did you guess it right? i've been wanting to eat rendang curry chicken, but i think the taste here is catered more for koreans. so, i've decided to try cooking the authentic indonesian version today."

to start, jaehwa scooped a few cups of rice and washed them before leaving them to cook in the rice cooker. "i know there are instant rendang sauces available, but i want to make it from scratch. my mom used to tell me that food tastes better if you pour your heart into it." as she spoke, she dumped all the vegetables required for the sauce into the food processor. halfway through, she added the unsweetened coconut milk followed by the spices.

the sauce was poured into a saucepan over medium-high heat. "next, you add in the chicken and star anise. you don't have to include the star anise if you don't like the taste of it." the chicken and star anise were mixed with the sauce, which was now starting to boil. after stirring occasionally, jaehwa reduced the heat and let the dish simmer. "important note: do not cover your saucepan if you want the sauce to reduce and thicken."

as she slowly drizzled the curry over the chicken, a faint spicy smell wafted to her nose, causing her to grin at the outcome so far. "i really wish you could smell what i'm smelling right now. it's so good, i cannot wait to try it already!" as the dish neared completion, jaehwa scooped a bowl of rice and set it aside before transferring the curry dish into a large bowl. fresh cilantro was sprinkled over it as garnish.

"the smell is already winning me over. ten out of ten for the smell! as for the taste..." she scooped a tiny bit of curry to taste. "oof—a little salty. maybe i put in too much soy sauce." brows furrowed, she stuck out her tongue at the saltiness and reached for the rice to mix the curry in. hopefully, the rice would reduce the saltiness. "oh? actually, it tastes better when mixed with rice. mmm~ not bad! i rate it a seven out of ten."

i don’t Like the oc character tbh only bc she lies so much to herself and to the people she loves i mean i understand where she’s coming from and give her the benefit of the doubt but to fuck up your life over and over again for the things that happened to you and then projecting them onto people who have nothing to do with it is quiet hypocritical. she didn’t had these fears and what if‘s when she slept with him and he did all the good stuff only when it got serious lmao but he’s the rich fuckboy right? I don’t know I’m on jungkooks side on this one sorry :/

i wouldnt say she got all the fears and what if's when it got serious. she got all of the fears and what if's because jk literally ghosted her for a week and acted weird. when he finally did show up again, he didnt offer up an ounce of an explanation and well yeah, no shit oc is going to spiral 😭

i do think that oc has her wrongs and not communicating her fears definitely made things worse, but at the same time all of that fits oc. shes done this over and over again throughout the story. i mean oc ran the moment she saw jaehwa in the cafe and oc ran off into the bathroom when jk's friends teased her during the christmas party. just this time when she ran away once more, it ended with the two breaking up.

i also think we should realise that the stuff that happened with jaehwa really hurt her deeply. she was a teen when it happened and she was in her first relationship too!!

[mountphoenixrp]

We have a new citizen in Mount Phoenix:

        Choi Jaehwa, a 29 year old son of Horus.         He is the director of the Asclepius General Hospital.

FC NAME/GROUP:  Kim Myungsoo / Infinite CHARACTER NAME:  Choi Jaehwa AGE/DATE OF BIRTH: March 13, 1995 (29 years old)  PLACE OF BIRTH:  Seoul, SK OCCUPATION: Director of Asclepius General Hospital and freelance photographer and artist HEIGHT: 183 cm WEIGHT: n.a DEFINING FEATURES: Muscular, tall, brown eyes with amber flecks. If he’s using his powers, his eyes go grey (left) and amber (right), but that is rare. Two tattoos (one over his right shoulder and one on the left side of his chest right below his collarbone) and several ear piercings (around 8 in each ear). Most often, he’s wearing only one set of piercings. Has dimples when he smiles.

PERSONALITY:  Through his struggles, he has learned adaptability. Adaptable refers to being able to adjust to new conditions. Jaehwa sees himself as very adaptable because he’s had to change so much. Something that he has inherited from his mother, his creativity and artistry has no limits. His creative spirit shines in everything he does and even the way his place looks. From the art that he drew gracing the walls, to the very layout of his apartment, it’s all a creative master plan and he knows how to execute it well.  As a child, he was very loving and caring, always helping everyone. It transferred very nicely into his adult life. He worked hard but at the same time, he looked out for his elders and kids to make sure that everything for them was well off before tending to his own needs.  He is very trustworthy and if you tell him a secret, he will keep it to the grave. However, he’s also very honest and doesn’t believe in holding information back. A bad side to his personality is his inability to contain his thoughts. He calls it being blunt and it does make him look very rude because he usually says exactly what he is thinking. Almost like he has no filter, he tends to say things as they come. He’s very immature and with the bluntness, he tends to act like a child. He’s almost like an elementary schooler with his pranks and constant need for attention. He tends to whine a bit when he doesn’t get his way. He’s very stuck on his ideas and thoughts and won’t ever budge, even if the other party has an actual decent argument.

HISTORY: Jaehwa was born in Seoul to Kim Chaewon and Choi Seokyung, in March of 1995. Or in the very least that was how he was raised to believe.  Chaewon had spent hours in labour and finally when Jaehwa was born, she was so happy that they had a healthy baby boy.  His father was ecstatic and Jaehwa had become the favorite in family almost right away. His grandmother and mother took care of him all the time and spoiled him massively. However, his grandfather treated him coldly. He had no idea why.

As a toddler, he had become very active, and he was running around the house and even around his father’s office. His grandfather disapproved of the child being in the office, since it was against the rules, but Jaehwa was still invited every day and everyday he came. His grandfather believed that nothing good would come of Jaehwa. Seokyung tried to claim that his son would be okay, but the elder would hear nothing of it.

Of course, Jaehwa was incredibly helpful, and he was always rescuing things from falling and getting injured. He always brought home birds who were injured, and he cared for them, and helped them heal. Such went his childhood. He began going to school and he was always helping the teachers, causing him to become class president in elementary school and keep that position for a while. Due to his intelligence as well, he was also in the top ranks of each class. 

It did get him bullied a lot, because in other kids’ eyes, he was the teacher’s pet. But he was okay with being bullied because that meant that he was doing something right at school. He was a hero. He liked being a hero. His parents and grandmother had no idea that he was being bullied because he always had an excuse for all his bruises. That he fell down the stairs, or fell in gym class or simply tripped on a straight spot.

In his early teenage years, heading into junior high school, his mother told him why his grandfather disliked him so. It was because she had ended up sleeping with an Egyptian god a few months before she had been arranged to marry the Lee heir and the old man knew about it because the wedding had to be a shotgun. It had thrown Jaehwa for a loop, but then everything made sense the more he thought about it. She encouraged him to follow his passions of art and creativity, but Jaehwa wanted to gain the approval of the grandfather, so he decided to keep going with the studies.

Instead of going to an art school like he’d initially wanted, the young man went into university for medicine. Medicine and becoming a doctor had consumed him. It was all he could do to gain the approval. In his exhaustion, his Egyptian traits revealed themselves and that cemented that he wasn’t his father’s son. He ended up graduating with his medicine degree and after medical school, he had brought the papers to his grandfather, hoping to hear the acceptance.

But it wasn’t. His grandfather turned him away and his mother told him to go to Mount Phoenix where he could find his real father. His departure was quick, and the young doctor found himself at the island, eager to maybe find a home again. 

He had found a home on Mount Phoenix, however, a situation back home had called him away for a prolonged period. In the time he’d been away, he lost his grandparents and with that, his shot at ever being approved by them. He had taken on the role of CEO of the family company, and his mother had arranged many an arranged marriage meeting. The young demigod wanted to run away again. This time, however, he would and couldn’t be stopped.

PANTHEON: Egyptian CHILD OF: Horus POWERS: Natural leaders; air manipulation, falcon wing manifestation and flight (only for short periods of time, flight drains their energy quickly). STRENGTHS: Organized, Intelligent, Punctual, Creative WEAKNESSES: Stubborn, Blunt, Critical, Skeptical

[lgcsoyoun]

It’s My Birthday

The days have blurred into each other that Soyoun forgot that today is her birthday. It only started feeling like her birthday after Danbi had greeted her at exactly midnight and Jaehwa gave her cake, if she’s going to be honest. However, what drives the point home is when Eunjo unnie asks for her to enter her personal studio which is all set up for her to relax, and the phone at the center indicates that she’s going to be doing a livestream. 

Soyoun gets comfortable enough on the couch. Thinking of the fans gives her energy that she thought had been depleted because of practice. Her smile is a lot more natural than one would expect a tired girl to be, but Soyoun is happy. She is worried that she isn’t doing enough to give back the fans’ love the way they deserve. At least she gets to spend some time with them, even just for a little bit. The staff gives her the go signal to begin, she gives the camera a bright smile. 

“What’s up everyone! It’s your girl Astrid, oh yeaaaah.” She spreads her arms as wide as she can while singing her signature introduction. “You guys know what day it is, right?” She leans over to the cameras with a smile. After a pause, she chuckles. “Yes, Alize, you got that right! Today is my birthday! Wooo!” Soyoun waves her arms in the air and moves her body like she’s one of those inflatable mannequins. 

She leans back against the couch. “Today, as a treat for you guys, I’ll keep this mellow, intimate, and fun,” she says with a smile. “I’ll answer any questions you have and fulfill any wishes, as long as it’s within reason and the staff won’t get mad at us, okay?” She playfully winks at the cameras and blows the fans a kiss. 

The staff puts a plate of the macarons and tea she prepared for her LGC Cafe birthday treat. “Oooh! I was worried that I wouldn’t get to try these,” Soyoun says with a laugh as she shows off the plate to the cameras. “To those in Seoul, did you get to go to the cafe today?”  

She reads the responses. “Ohh, to those who got to go, I’m glad,” she says with a soft laugh. “To those who didn’t, it’s okay! There’s always another chance next year. Okay?”

Among the many birthday greetings, a question catches Soyoun’s attention. “Thank you for the birthday greetings,” she says as she bows to the cameras. “... How fitting to ask… What do I want to challenge this year? Easy! Rapping!” Soyoun bursts out laughing, throwing her head back against the couch. “My rapping is bad, so I want to work on that. But if we’re talking about non-idol skills, I will want to challenge the same thing as last year, which is cooking.” She shakes her head in shame. “I know I say this every year, but learning to cook is hard for someone scared of fire like me.”  

Soyoun shudders as she thinks of getting too close to fire. She brushes it aside in favor of answering more questions. “How did the members celebrate my birthday?” Soyoun chuckles. “It’s a bit boring but we mostly spent today at practice,” she admits with a rueful smile. “You know our comeback is in a few days, right?” However, she decides to elaborate on it a bit more. “Danbi made sure she was the first to greet me. She even beat my parents and brothers to it. She really is living up to her title as the first wife.” She laughs as she remembers how Danbi raced to be the first to greet her today. “Jaehwa gave me a strawberry and matcha cake earlier today,” she says as she thinks back to how Jaehwa surprised her at practice earlier. “Also, Yamapi-chan gave me this.” She shows off the bracelet Ichika gave her earlier at the dorms. “It’s so pretty, isn’t it? Sominnie also promised to cook dinner for me later after all our schedules. I swear, my members are the best, and I’m lucky to have them.”

Soyoun reads more messages as she tries one of the macarons they prepared for her birthday. She smiles in delight, mostly she’s relieved that they taste as good as she remembered. In fact, these probably look and taste better than the ones she made at the cafe for content. As she shows off the macarons to the camera, she spots another question. “What was the most difficult thing about preparing for your comeback?” 

Oh boy. Where does Soyoun even begin? There’s a lot of stuff she can’t talk about which makes this comeback a bit harder to prepare for compared to the previous ones. Especially when that information hasn’t been made public yet. “There’s a lot going on, but the biggest challenge would be time management,” Soyoun admits sheepishly. “There’s a lot happening at the same time which I can’t really talk about yet. You’ll know when it’s time.” She winks at the cameras. “Trust me. It will all make sense when you find out.” 

She discreetly glances over to Eunjo unnie. It doesn’t help that her blank face is quite hard to read compared to Yewon unnie, who Soyoun has somehow gotten used to. But Eunjo unnie isn’t telling her to end the live, so she supposes she’s fine.

“I can’t wait for you guys to see what we’ve been working on,” she continues. “The new album is our ‘Love Letter’ to you guys, if you will.” She shoots finger guns at the cameras for good measure. A particular question catches her eye. “Oooh! What good timing. What has been your favorite song from the recent comeback?” Soyoun looks over to Eunjo unnie. “Has the track list already been released?” At her manager’s nod, Soyoun lets out a sigh of relief. “That’s good. I was worried I was going to spoil everyone.” She laughs. “But to answer the question, besides our title track Siesta, my favorite song would be ‘Cool’. I can’t really say any more than that for now. You’ll just have to listen to the album when it comes out on April 7!”   

Another question catches her attention before she can think of what else she can talk about. “How do you react when you hear your own song playing in public?” Soyoun smiles as she reads that question. “Honestly, it’s so humbling but I can’t really just start singing in public.” She snorts. “There was a time I heard ‘Fiesta’ playing in the place where I usually buy my paint, and I had to hold back what has become reflex to at least do the hand movements.” She laughs and claps her hands. “But the shop owner knows me, so they were just raising an eyebrow at me the whole time, as if daring me to dance. Unfortunately for them, I was already carrying a basket of paint, so no dance for the store. Sorry!” 

“Ah! I got my first request,” Soyoun says. When she reads it, she can’t help but playfully frown. “Sing my favorite Fabula song?” Honestly, the new song they have yet to release might be her new favorite, if she can base it on what she hears blasting from Fabula’s practice room. However, she can’t really spill that tea yet. She playfully pouts at the camera before laughing. “Promoting Fabula on my birthday when I should be promoting Crystallis’ upcoming comeback?” She fake-gasps for the cameras before laughing. “Sure, why not. Fabula, consider this my birthday treat for you, girls! Love you!” She blows a kiss at the cameras as if Fabula were watching.  

Soyoun stands up from the couch. “It’s actually one of their B-sides, Illusion.” She then sings and does the choreography starting from the pre-chorus. “몽롱한 기분이 좋은 Tonight 색다른 세계로 이끄는 Light…” She gamely performs the song as if she is the missing member of Fabula [0:32 - 1:16 ]. It only ends when she lets out a frustrated scream and laugh after accidentally messing up the “easy peasy” part. She crouches to the ground in embarrassment. Straightening up, she immediately bows to the cameras. “Eunhye and Hayoungie, I meant April, loves, I’m so sorry. I’ll do better next time,” Soyoun says as though Eunhye and Hayoung were watching. “This is what I mean when I say I want to challenge myself to improve my rapping,” she sheepishly says to the viewers. 

Once she makes herself comfortable on the couch, Soyoun continues to talk. “Did you enjoy it though?” It’s not what Crystallis usually does, so Soyoun is glad for a chance to show a different side of herself to the fans as a performer and artist. The positive comments are giving her some confidence, even if half of her wonders whether the fans are just being polite. “As long as you guys liked it, that’s all that matters.”   

Catching her breath, Soyoun takes a sip of the drink she made for the birthday event. She’s grateful for the staff’s foresight to provide her with something to eat and drink while doing the live. “What’s a concept you have yet to do that you think you would do well in?” Soyoun tilts her head to the side, discreetly asking Eunjo unnie whether this was okay. When she doesn’t get any violent reactions from her manager, she continues to answer the question. “I’d like to try sexy or mature concepts,” Soyoun admits with a laugh. At least if she does the sexy concepts, people who enjoy it won’t be a bunch of pedos. Sure, there will be creeps, but at least she’s of age enough to do these concepts and not worry about being age-appropriate. “I’ve seen comments of people calling me old, you know.” She scowls as she thinks of all those comments she has read about how she was too old to be debuting at 25 and that she was past her prime, when honestly, her life was just beginning. “So I might as well enjoy the benefits that come with being an idol at my age.” She playfully winks at the cameras. 

Before she can think of anything else to say, another question catches her eye. “Have I been watching Future Dreams 6?” Soyoun playfully hums before she nods. “Of course, I am! I am Areumie’s mentor, so of course, I have to check on how she’s doing!” Soyoun sighs as she thinks back to the results that likely aren’t out yet by the time this airs. “I feel like I’m lacking as her mentor and can do more for her, you know?” 

She thanks the fans for the reassurance that she’s doing great as Areum’s mentor. “You guys are really sweet. I hope the odds are in her favor in the end…” Even if she knows the ending, she is also optimistic that Areum will get a new beginning, just not in the way they expect. “She’s worked so hard, you know? So of course I want things to finally work out for her. We trained together, so it would be nice to see her finally debut.” Soyoun gently sighs at the cameras. “Please keep loving and supporting Areum and the rest of the trainees in Future Dreams 6 regardless of the results, okay? Remember to be kind to all of them, whether the trainee you are rooting for makes it or not.”

Among the assurances that they will be supportive and not toxic, Soyoun can’t help but smile. “I’m counting on you, Alize. Don’t disappoint us, okay?” 

As she takes a sip of her tea and reads the fans’ assurances and birthday greetings another question catches her eye. “What was the last reality show you watched besides Future Dreams?” Soyoun chuckles as she thinks back to the last show she followed in real-time. “I made Yura watch Transit Love S2 with me,” she says with a sheepish smile. “I screamed, celebrated, and sighed in relief when Haeeun chose Hyungyu in the end. Honestly, if she wasn’t going to choose him, I was going to let him know I’m available.” She bursts out laughing, knowing that it’s never going to happen. Besides, she has her sights set on someone else, not that anyone has to know it. “But anyway, Hyungyu was, is, a walking green flag, at least based on how he conducted himself on the show. But since he and Haeeun are still happily together after the show ended, I think all is well between them. And I think having his ex give him a glowing character recommendation to the new girl he likes goes to show what sort of person he is… Then there’s also the fact that he even helped his ex get her new man…” Soyoun shakes her head. “It’s difficult to find people like that, isn’t it? I hope all of you find someone like that in your lives.” 

She spies the staff bringing in a birthday cake for her to blow later, so she pretends not to pay attention to them in favor of reading another question among the many comments discussing their thoughts on the show.  

“What was your proudest moment in the last year?” Soyoun lets out a breath and leans back against the couch. “Good Lord… That’s a tough one because there was a lot…” There was debut, the many rookie awards they won as a team, and her own variety star award. Of course, there was also her first OST that will be released in a few days. Soyoun filters it through her head and decides on one. “After deliberations with myself, I have decided that among the many things I was proud of for the last year, I’ll have to go with the Rookie of the Year awards,” she says with a nod. “It was some sort of validation that we, as Crystallis, did something right and are a team to watch out for in the future. It was reassuring that our debut wasn’t an entire failure, you know?”   

While letting that thought marinate, a fan’s request makes her laugh. “Share a recent TMI. A TMI, huh?” Soyoun racks her brains for a fun but still safe-for-work option. After all, her manager is on the other side of the room and will end her career as soon as she fucks up. She finally remembers one that will probably make the fans laugh. “During the break, I joined a cat chat room once since I was looking for photos of cats to draw for a thing. I had to meow like a cat for an hour so I didn’t get kicked out.” Soyoun burst as she recalled that incident. “All because I had no cat photos to share with that chat. Luckily I did it in my studio, where no one else can hear me.” She hides her face in her hands out of shame. The fans would probably not let her live this down now that they have this information. 

Taking in the viewers’ laughter, Soyoun is glad that at least throwing her dignity out the window makes them laugh. At least she knows she’s doing her job right. An unexpected question shows up. “What are your favorite snacks?” She reads the question out loud. “This is easy. Turtle chips, especially the corn-flavored ones,” she says with a laugh. “Although I like sweet potato chips, too. We could be here all day if I go on talking about my favorite snacks, if I’m being honest. But those two are my favorites.” 

Right on cue, the staff brings over a cake for her to blow. As they prepare to light the candle in front of her, Eunjo unnie tells her she has time for one or two more questions, depending on what it is. A rather fun one catches her attention. “Can you dance to one of your favorite dances from an lgc idol group (fabula, vna or tz) song that’s not Crystallis?” Soyoun playfully groans at the cameras. “You guys are literally asking me to promote any group except my own? Sacrilege!” As she sees her fans laughing at her for her choice of big word, Soyoun snorts before smiling again. “Since you guys asked very nicely, I shall do it.” She stands up from her perch on the couch and makes sure to get out of the staff’s way. “I already did Fabula, so I guess I’ll have to do a different group.” She goes through her options of songs. She initially wanted to do “Kick It” but it doesn’t feel right to do a song without any of the original line up left (at least until the current line up performs it again). Instead, she opts to do Type Zero’s “Thunderous” for the fans. After all, what’s the use of monitoring Daeho if she doesn’t have anything to show for it? When she finishes, she decides she might as well indulge the fans. “Since I’m feeling generous today, I’ll do a song from each group then, so it’s fair.” She then chooses Versus’ “Work It” for her next song. It’s a predictable choice, especially when she sings the “Skrrt Skrrt” parts with more enthusiasm than necessary. Finally, for Agito, she goes with “90s Love”. 

“Did you guys enjoy that?” She asks once she’s back on the couch and the cake is nicely settled in front of her. “I’m afraid this is all the time we have today,” Soyoun says. “But we’re not ending the live without some cake!” The staff lights the candle, and she sings the birthday song for herself. She pauses to quietly wish for Crystallis’ long-term success and happiness before blowing out the candles. 

“What did I wish for?” Soyoun asks, reading the first comment she saw. “That’s a secret.” She winks at the camera. She then takes a portion of the cake and acts like she’s feeding the cameras. “But here, have some cake,” she says with a smile before eating the bite instead. 

“Thank you for all your birthday wishes and for joining me in this live stream. Please give our upcoming album Love Letter lots of love when it comes out! I shall see you soon. Skrrt skrrt!”

Snow hummed, lips still pressed out in a pout but weren't they always? It was almost his natural expression at this point. He wrapped his arms around him with a deep sigh, head resting against his shoulder as the tension seemed to melt out of him. Public events were… not his forte. Too many people looked at Jaehwa for Snow's liking, and he couldn't ecactly go around biting everyone that did so at important events… Still, he could behave… probably. "Really? The whole week?" He peeked up at him then, "No more surprise events during that week, right? Cause I need at least 12 months advance notice…"

he was honestly more than happy that he agreed, he smiled and gently pulled him against his chest. he looked down into his eyes, taking in every cute feature as he leaned in to press a kiss onto his forehead. “is that all you want? alone time with me and takeout? i think that is more than doable. after this event i promise im all yours for the rest of the night and the week my general manager will oversee the hotel while im away.”

Free Trial

Pairing: Jaehwa/Jiwon 

Series: Sechskies 7th Member AU 

Rating: Fluff 

Synopsis: One-year free trial lol. 

A frustrated sigh left Jaehwa’s lips as she laid on the bed, her knees curled to her chest and hands under her head. Jiwon gave her a soft smile on the other side of the bed, turning onto his side as she looked at him. 

“Rough day?” Jiwon asked. 

“Woohyuk is an idiot,” Jaehwa covered her face with her hands, “Yongsun hates him,” 

The leader furrowed his brows together, “Hates him? What did he do?” 

Jaehwa groaned and rested her face against his chest, her shoulders falling as she thought back to the situation that had happened today. Yongsun had been in a bad mood since, even when she brought him ttoebokki for dinner. 

“The first words he ever said to his son were about the adoption,” Jaehwa shook her head, “Honestly, has he never spoken to a teenager before?! You don’t say that, Woohyuk should have gotten to know Yongsun, his interests, what he’s been doing, not-” 

She was cut off by Jiwon leaning forward and pressing a kiss to her lips. Jaehwa pulled away and sat up, staring down at Jiwon with wide eyes. He just smiled and tucked his hands behind his head. 

“Jiwon-” 

“It’s what they do in dramas,” He shrugged. 

Jaehwa couldn’t help but laugh, “Dramas? What are you, twenty?” 

“Mentally,” Jiwon winked and sat up, “There’s nothing wrong with a happy ending,” 

Looking at her leader, Jaehwa sighed, “Jiwon, we’re almost forty, we don’t get a massive exciting drama” 

He sighed and rested his head against her own, smiling as he stared into her eyes. Jaehwa looked at her leader curiously, her brows pulling together as he kissed her nose. 

“Then skip all of it and let's get married,” 

“Hold on,” She pulled away, “You're supposed to date before you get married, you’ve been married before!” 

Jiwon counted on his fingers, “We’ve kissed, had sex, known each other for a long time, those are the three things that qualify a person to get married,” 

Jaehwa bit the inside of her cheek and stood up, smirking, “Jaejin,” 

“We just won’t invite him to the wedding,” 

A laugh escaped Jaehwa’s mouth as she flopped back down onto the bed, covering her face as Jiwon laid down beside her. 

“I also make you laugh so I get bonus points,” 

She looked at him, “You know what, fine, One-year marriage subscription and then I’ll decide if we continue,”

── requested. anonymous

when jaehwa woke up this morning, the little one-year-old was a little bit surprised to see his dad being the one to come into his room to take care of him. 

usually it was you who came to get him and feed and change him, while his dad was already off at work. 

“hi, buddy!” jongho was using a baby voice to speak when he picked his son up and took him to his changing table. “did you sleep well?” he asked a large smile on his face as jaehwa laughed at his father for no reason except he could. 

“mommy is gonna let me take you to work so i can show everyone how cute you are,” jongho told his son even though he knew the baby probably couldn’t understand him yet. “you get to spend the day with your appa! how does that sound?” he added as he lifted jaehwa above his head a few times making the boy squeal in excitement. 

“come on let’s get you something to eat before we leave,” jongho said as he carried his son out of his bedroom and into the living room. 

when jongho arrived at the photoshoot set, the staff there immediately started cooing at jaehwa who was taking in all the new things and people around him. 

“you’re uncles are gonna be happy to see!” jongho cutely told his son they neared the changing room his manager directed him to, he could already hear wooyoung and san shouting from outside the room and couldn’t help but laugh at his hyungs. 

when he opened the door, the other members immediately turned to see who it was before they all rushed over to greet the maknae’s son. 

“he’s getting so big!” seonghwa cooed as he took jaehwa into his arms, a bright smile on his lips as he tickled the baby making him let out a series of giggles that made the other members ‘aw’ at him. 

“jongho, go get your makeup done, please,” the group’s manager said and jongho nodded before asking the boys to watch jaehwa for him while he got ready. 

“i’ll be right back, buddy,” jongho said, kissing his son’s cheek before he went to get his makeup done. 

while jongho was getting his makeup done, the older members were busy playing with the one year old who was sitting comfortably in seonghwa’s lap, playing with one of the toys jongho had brought with them. 

“hyung, can i hold him now?” mingi asks as he walks over to seonghwa and sits down next to the eldest member. 

“sure!” seonghwa then handed jaehwa over to the rapper who started to play with the one year-old. mingi lifted him up above his head before bringing him back down causing jaehwa to laugh.

jongho looked into the mirror that he was sitting in front of when he heard his son laughing and smile at how cute he looked.  

“he’s such a happy baby,” san said with a smile as they watched mingi and jaehwa play. “it’s making me miss my baby!” he added, faking a crying face as he clutched his heart over his shirt. 

“how do you miss her when you spend almost every waking minute with her?” yeosang asked, looking at his bandmate with an almost unbelievable face. 

“you’ll understand when aeri gets a little bigger and then you’ll never want to be apart!” san told him but yeosang only shook his head at the male. 

when jongho got done with his makeup, he made his way back over to the others and sat down next to mingi who was still holding jaehwa. when jaehwa noticed his dad was sitting next to him, he immediately started making various noises in order to get his dad to hold him. 

jongho couldn’t help but feel soft whenever his son wanted him to hold him. he knew jaehwa had a sort of attachment to his dad, always somehow searching for him when they are in the same room together and even cries when jongho leaves. 

his heart always hurts when he has to leave and be gone for hours or even days knowing that jaehwa will miss him. 

jongho snapped out of his thoughts when he felt a tiny hand touch his face and he looked down to see jaehwa staring at him with almost sparkling eyes. smiling, jongho pressed several kisses to his son’s face. 

“let’s make sure to take some good pictures for mommy alright!” jongho says to his own how only squealed in response, clapping his hands together.

Chapter 4 / Chapter 5 / Chapter 6 

"Hey" You whispered, knowing its really early "I woke you up right?"

It took Johnny a solid second to wrap his head around the fact that, yes, it was your voice and you are calling him at three in the morning "Y/n?"

"Morning" You greet "Do you want me to call again later?" You offered when there was no reply "You're probably tired"

"No" He strangled out "No, don't, stay, please" He whispers "Just give me a second, stay on the line, don't leave"

"I won't" You assured "I promise, I'll wait for you" humming softly so he'll know you're still on the line despite not talking to him

You can hear the soft clicking of the door "Y/n?" He calls

"I'm here" You answered "You ok Oppa?"

He hums and nods "Can we face time? I'm tired but uh, I wanna hear your voice, I wanna see you" He murmurs

"Sure," You answered and changed the setting from voice to video call, and when he accepted the invite you gasped, he was pail with deep and sunken eyes "What happened to you?"

He shakes his head and smiles "You ok?"

"Johnny" You whispered worriedly

"Y/n" He says softly with a tight lipped smile that you can tell was his way of pleading to drop the subject and you nod, deciding to drop the subject for now

"Did I worry you?" You asked after you gave him a small sheepish smile

"You passed out"

"Yeah, Baekhyeon Oppa told me" You answered

"Told you?" He asks with a tilt of his head, shifting in his bed "You don't remember?"

You shake your head "Its fuzzy" You admitted "Honestly all I remember is being scared of being followed and I panicked and I went to the place I thought I'll be safest at"

"My Dorm?" He asks after a while

"Well," You smiled "Well I came to you to be specific" You said becoming more quiet as the your sentence progresses "But we can go with what you said" He chuckles at your reply "So anyway the next thing I know is I woke up in Jaehwa Eunnie's house"

"How are you feeling?" He asked "How did everyone react?"

"I'm ok," You answered "And Um, I just woke up and I wanted to see if I, uh,  emotionally scarred you"

He laughs "Scarred me?"

"Well I'm pretty sure I scarred someone while I was in your dorm"

"I think so too" He answered and you smiled

"Noona are you up?" Eric walks in to the room you were using, making you slam you phone to your chest out of instinct "Are you on a call?"

"Yeah" You answered and he raises an eyebrow

"Its three am" He points out and you nod "You passed out, and now you're on a call?" He asks in disbelief

"Its Johnny" You supplied and his eyes lights  up

"Johnny Hyung!" He called

Johnny who could only see the color of your top from how the camera was still against your chest "Hi, Eric" He greets

"Let me talk to him" he says and hands his hand out as if waiting for you to give him your phone

"No" You answered

"Why not?" He asked

"I'm on a call with him" You answered and pulled the phone away from your chest, giving Johnny a view of you looking passed the hone and to your brother "Get out"

"I wanna talk to him" Eric whines

"I don't want you to talk to him" You replied as Johnny snorts and tries his best to not laugh

"Noona"

"I'm warning you" You pointed a finger in his direction

"oh yeah?" He mocks

"Jaehwa Eunnie! Eric is bothering me!" You yelled and called out

There was a moment of silence and Eric breathes out a sigh of relief at the silence "Oh god Fuck," He looks out the door as if he could see her from the door way "Why would you call such a scary woman when I was only kidding?" He jokes and nods satisfied by the lack of answer "I think she didn't hear-" He says only to be cut off by Jaehwa's voice from the first floor

"Eric, leave her alone to rest!"

"I'm not bothering her, Noona!" Eric yells back

"Eric!"

"She needs all the rest she can get!"

"She's not even resting, she's-!" He defended himself

"Now!" Her voice came back and Eric flinched

He sighs and narrows his eyes at you "You win this round, but remember I'm Insung Hyung's favorite sibling" He threatens

"Eric L/n!" She yelled again

"Jesus!" He cursed after flinching at the sound of his full name "I'm leaving, I'm leaving! Calm yourself, Devil Woman!" He yelled

"What did you call me?!" You heard Jaehwa yell back and you snort, already used to the teasing between your siblings

"Nothing!" He yells and looks at you as if you could help only for you to shrug "My sweet, loving and understanding older sister" He coaxes and closes the door

"Sorry" You said looking at Johnny who was grinning now

"Don't be" He assured "I enjoyed it"

"Same" You chuckled

"Also," He began "Devil Woman?"

You nod and laughed "Jaehwa Eunnie had or still has anger issues, and it wasn't uncommon for her to be sent to the Principial's office due to her behavior which is why the L/n siblings nicknamed her that when she's angry"

He laughs "She sounds nice"

"She is, without a doubt"

"Can I ask you about something?" Johnny asks and you tilt your head "About, the stalkers, are you ok?"

You blinked surprised at his question as you hum "Uh, I'm better" You answered with a teasing grin

"Seriously" He says the tone making you drop the grin "Are you, ok, I mean?"

"I will be" You answered after while, and nod "Yeah I will be, I have to be, I may be afraid but um—I have to keep moving forward besides, stalkers mean, you and I are a wonderful couple"

"This isn't a joking matter" He says

"I know" You answered honestly "I just don't want to stress about it now"

He stares at you before sighing "From now on, call me when you go somewhere new"

"What?"

"Call me"

"No I heard that" You said sarcastically "Why?"

"So I can know you're safe"

"Can I text you instead?"

He shakes his head "I need to hear your voice"

You pursed your lip before nodding "Ok, I'll call you whenever I do" you assured

There was silence after that, but it wasn't uncomfortable and neither of you needed to fill in that silence but you spoke up first "Thank you"

He smiles "You're welcome" He says and nods "but what for?"

"Baekhyeon Oppa said you wanted to come along" You explained "And that you were very reluctant in letting me go"

He swallowed and nod "You told me not to leave your side" He answered "If I had my way, I really wouldn't" he murmurs as if sending a coded message: I'm not leaving your side next time, at all

"He was right though" You spoke up and he raises an eyebrow "Jaehwa Eunnie will not like having around if I'm unwell"

He takes a moment to think of his answer to you "Well, If I was there I don't think I'd care" He admitted

You blinked and looked down, trying to hid the smile "If I had my way," You said and that caught his attention, as you're about to send him a coded message of your own "and you had yours," You said a silent way of telling him you understood his message "I'll tell my—It'd be—" You would stop yourself before finishing the sentence as it didn't seem enough "If I had my way and you yours, then I would defend you"

Johnny's eyes glinted at that as he understood: Good, Cause I don't want you to leave me, either

Johnny opened his mouth to speak but was cut off when your door opened "Please tell me you're not on a call" Said a feminine voice that Johnny realized was your sister's

"I am" You answered "Its work" that word left a bitter taste on Johnny's mouth, cause for a second there he almost forgot, that this thing you two had was work, you both get paid and do get benefits from this scenario, your relationship was just work

"Absolutely not" Jaehwa says and walks towards you "End the call now and sleep"

"But—I'm kinda busy-" You tried but she narrows her eyes making you flinch "Ok, I'll end the call, watch your blood pressure" You answered muttering the last part and she grabs one of the discarded pillows on the floor to throw it to you and looked at the screen to where Johnny was waiting patiently "I gotta go" You informed and he nodded "I'll call later" He nods and before he could bid you farewell the call ended and he stared at the caller ID

He puts his phone to sleep and sighs "If  we had our way, you mean"

"Oh sorry I didn't think there'd be people here," Haechan's voice was what brought you out of chewing your pencil to near nothingness, from beside you Johnny who was able to close his eyes for a short lived nap, you pretend not to know cause that's what seems to be going on, but you can see how tired he seems to be lately, he's more sluggish and the bags under his eyes are going to drop to the ground soon enough, so when he sat beside you one arm draped over your shoulder as he pressed your back against his chest so he could see what your writing, slowly lulling him to sleep by your humming, you never made a move "Oh shit," Haechan gasped "Sorry"

Johnny pulls away from you and doubles over to rub his eyes "What happened?" He asked you

You made a face and started rubbing your tongue against your sleeve in an attempt to to exchange the bits of wood on your tongue for lint "They walked in" You answered

Johnny groans and takes your pencil away from you "this is disgusting" He says staring at the bitten part of the pencil

"Some people say its endearing" You shot back after rubbing your tongue for the second time

He stiffens and then points the pencil at you "Who?" He asks with a raised eyebrow

"Well," You began "I wasn't comfortable enough to show people I do bite pencil's 'till I met you, so no one yet"

He relaxes at your words "Good" He sighs thankfully "No wait, what do you mean 'yet'?"

You laughed and he huffs, playfully throwing your pencil back at you "What are you guys up to?" He asks the dream members who started piling in

"Well, we were supposed to be practicing" Mark answers "Don't worry we'll go to a different room"

"Its fine though" You spoke up and they stared at you "I'm just writing a song, you guys can use the practice room" You stood up and sat by the sofa at the far corner "You won't even know I'm here" You assured

Johnny stood up and followed after you, motioning the dream members to continue and practice "Didn't you chew on your pencil?"

"I have more" You replied

"Did the lyrics I suggested help?" Mark asks and approaches you

"A lot," You nod "you're lyrics were the most I've written" you confessed

He laughs and ushers the dreamies to prepare themselves for their day, You leaned your forehead against Johnny's shoulder as you whined from how lacking you train of thoughts were, Johnny takes the notebook from you and reads the lyrics. You whined louder when he murmurs the lyrics under the tone you created "Its not bad" He answers "I like it"

"Its not going anywhere" You pointed out and sat up facing him, hooking your leg over his knee and he puts your notebook down to stare at you "It started off great, but it won't go anywhere"

Johnny chuckles at how you whined, letting you throw your tantrum so you can resume writing once you get tired

"Um, Noona" you stopped your complaining to look at Park Jisung who approached

"Oh, sorry, I was being too loud, wasn't I?" You bowed in sorry and his almost bulged out of his head

He shakes his head, "No no, its alright" He assures "I came here to ask if I could borrow your phone," He whispers "Chenle and I just discovered something and we wanted to borrow everyone's phones" You and Johnny looked passed Jisung to see Chenle sitting by the corner with Phones surrounding him "You guys don't have to" He quickly defended

You chuckled and dug through your pockets and offered him your phone, and unlocking it giving him a full view of your Chicago scenery wallpaper "here you go" You smile and he stares at it for a second

He bows "Thank you" he says and takes it, and Johnny offers his phone, also unlocked which was still the hyacinth wallpaper Jisung takes it as well and bows once more before walking to Chenle

You took the notebook from Johnny and resumed in writing your song, once in a while you would notice that Johnny's head would lull forward as he slowly started drifting to sleep but would always snap awake

"You know" You began and he looks at you "I've been pretending not to notice cause I you asked me not to talk about it" You pointed out "But I can't keep ignoring it, do you know how tired you look right now?"

His jaw tightens "I'm O-"

You cut him off "if you say you're ok, I'm leaving you here" You threatened and he closes his mouth "Johnny, when was the last time you got a decent nights rest?" He doesn't answer "Hey, come on" You shifted to sit properly at his side "What's in your head, tell me?"

He sighs, not answering for a second before he spoke up "I haven't" he answered "sleeping, I mean. been having a hard time to recently" He confesses

You furrowed your eyebrows "Why? Stress? Is it cause of me? I know I would ask you to come over more often, but you don't have to go, just say no, your health is more important-"

he tilts his head and raises and eyebrow "Finish that sentence and I'll be the one leaving you here" You snapped your mouth shut "don't you dare push me away, the only time I could relax is when I'm with you, heck I was able to fall asleep a while ago, so no, I'm not skipping on you whenever you invite me over"

"But you need sleep"

"And I try" He says and sighs "I like being with you, so please, don't stop me" You both just stared at one another for a second before he goes "Don't leave me"

You nod after a second "I won't" You pointed at him "But, you have to sleep, try to sleep, Ok?"

He nods "I'll try" he assures

"Noona" You turned your head to look at Jisung who was walking your way "Um, Han Jisung sent you a text" He informed and you could hear the room become silent and everyone's eyes on you

"Did you read it?" You asked after a second he shakes his head

"I saw the first two then I told you" he informs and you offered your hand so he can return your phone, you smiled once her gives it back

"Thank you" You said and looked at the message

You pursed your lips at the message, and Johnny looks at you furrowed eyebrows "Y/n?" He asks

You pulled your gaze away from the message to Johnny who was watching you worriedly "Do you have earphones I could borrow?"

"Um, airpods" He answers and you nod, offering your hand so he can lend it to you, he digs through his pockets and produced the container "Its name is little John" He murmur slightly embarrassed at what his Airpods' name is, Johnny was fully prepared to hear you tease him but nothing came as you connected you phone to his Airpods

"Thank you" You said and wore both of them and pressed the link, after being greeted by the opening scene of a ghost in the way of a toy train and the tone of the intro you pressed pause, overwhelmed by everything almost immediately "Johnny" you choked out and he looks at you before handing him one ear "I don't want to be alone" You whispered

He takes it and nod "You won't be alone" he says and shifts closer "I'm here" giving you a chance to to calm your nerves before playing the song, letting you take your time. You took a shake-y deep breath before playing the video and the sense of overwhelming sadness and pain washed over you as the lyrics greeted you (Now Playing: 미친 놈 (Ex) - StrayKids)

yunanhi chagabdeon geu nare maltu (On that day, I was unusually cold towards you)

yunanhi manatteon geu nare hapum (with a constant yawning)

haru iteul tto pinggyega dwen bappeum (Saying I'm busy, making excuses on day to another)

gyeolgugen ti natteon shigeobeorin maeum (It got obvious it wasn't love anymore)

Johnny watched as your chest rised and fell as the lyrics brushed past your ears, "He wrote this..." You whispered "For me?..." You licked your lips listening and watch the video

mianhadan mareul namgin chae neowa (With an apology, you and I)

soneul tteolmyeo sseo naeryeogan seulpeun gyeolmal (Wrote a sad ending to our story with a shaking hand)

tteonabonae noko nan apeujyo (I feel hurt after saying goodbye)

naega geurae noko wae naega apeujyo (I left you but why am I the one getting hurt, I am hurt)

gomabdaneun maldo mot han chae neowa (Without a word of thanks, you and I)

mareul tteolmyeo jugobadeun nalkaroun mal (Stuttered mean thing to each other)

meoljjeonghan cheokhaedo geojitmal mot haneun (I pretend to be ok, but I can't lie)

geuriumi nal huhwehage mandeuljyo (I miss you and I've regret what I done)

You scoffed at the verses you've heard, the scene of how you two broke up flashing across your mind at how angry you both were, words were exchange and promises were broken 'till eventually he just yelled 'Lets break up!' You remember the way you stopped breathing and how time stopped as you stared at him, you remember how your heart clenched and how you wanted to scream, to yell, to throw something—anything—at him, you remembered how angry you were at yourself that the only thing you were able to do was fall to the ground and sob

da kkaejyeobeorin chueokdeul soge neol chaja (In the midst of everything that's over, I search for you)

butjababwatja neoye nunmulman tteoolla (I want to hold you but all I can think of your tears)

geuttaen naega michyeo doranna bwa neo eomneun shigan (I must've been crazy back then, me without you)

nan jashini eomneunde gyeolguk neobakken eomneunde (I can't go on, because you are all I have after all)

jamkkan michyeotteon geoya (I was out of my mind for a moment)

You ended up biting your tongue, as the scene of Lee Know drinking the water as if it was liquor flash before you and you realized, that yeah, that's what it was representing, overdrinking, you scoffed again, "Crazy for a moment?" You asked in disbelief. Johnny turns to look at you as you eyes stayed glued to the screen

geuttaen naega micheo mollanna bwa neo eomneun gonggan (I guess I didn't know back then, in this space without you)

sumshwigido beokchande mweol (I can hardly breathe)

mitgo geuraesseulkka (don't even know why I did that)

michin nomieotteon nal (I was crazy)

"Y/n" Johnny began and whispered your name before you'd return to the whirlwind of emotions of your past "You don't have to finish it" He says

"I want to" You said, breath shaky and voice cracking, trying really hard not to loose your composure, the dreamies have senses the atmosphere and have slowly made their way out of the practice room for a little 'snack break' some time ago, you never really noticed "I need to" You answered and Johnny nods

yokhaedo joa (curse me for it, its fine)

You took in a sharp intake of breath at the sound of a familiar voice, you found yourself biting your lip as the scene change to him falling down on the bed, you throat went dry and you vision became blurry, you tried to swallow but felt as if nails were forcing themselves down your throat

mamkkeot yok yok yokhae (Go ahead, curse, curse, curse)

Woah Yeah Woah Yeah

yokhaedo joa (curse me for it, its fine)

shilkeot yok yok yokhae (curse, curse,curse me all you want)

nal hyanghan jeungoga hwa jeongdoga dwel ttaekkaji (Until your hatred for me turns into anger)

hwaga pullyeo dashi doragal su ittamyeon (So that you would relieve your anger and that we could be together again)

Johnny stares at you, as you desperately tried to keep yourself together at the sight and sound of Jisung "Y/n" He starts again

"Jisung" You whimpered and and sniffed, Johnny felt pained and angry, was it because you're crying? or maybe cause Jisung did a dick move by sending this? or maybe cause you met Jisung first and that if you had met Johnny would it be different, would you still be crying about something like this? "Oh My God, Jisung" you gasped and covered your mouth when the tears started falling

The rest of the song passed by in a blur the lyrics and the story of the song was made for you, you have no doubt about that, you were in your own head, replaying the day you lost Jisung in your head and it felt horrible the emotions you managed to bury deep down was returned and you felt truly alone, how overwhelmingly scary it was, you knew that all in your head, that these memories were just that, memories and no matter how much you wished to disappear it won't do anything, you've lived through all this once by yourself, you can do it again, you can do it all again

"Its ok" Johnny whispered into your ear, only then did you realize that Johnny was holding you in his arms, "Come back, come back" He whispers , gently running his fingers through your hair "Whatever it is that's made you go and hide in your head, it won't hurt you, I'm here and I'll stay" He assures and you sniffed, the first reaction he's gotten out of you and gently grounds you back to reality "You're not alone, you will never be alone again" He promises

You hiccuped and clinged on to his shirt "Johnny" You cried into his chest and he holds you closer, nuzzling you

"You're safe, you will never have to go through this alone"

You cried into his chest the rest of the day, cause oldy now did you realize, going through all that alone, was the most horrible thing you had to experience

At some point you fell asleep (passed out) into Johnny's arms, who held you as you soaked his shirt in tears,  and the dreamies who heard you crying decided to switch practice rooms to grant you some peace

Johnny bows his hand in thanks to them, or at least he tries with you being deadweight in his arms, they nod before leaving as quiet as possible

Johnny was content with it like this, it might sound selfish but the amount joy he had when you clinged on to him, if not for the situation he would've tackled you, he shifted to hold you closer, inhaling your shampoo (which wasn't the first time he has smelled it)

All of that was short lived when your phone rang and you jolted awake making Johnny hold you by the arms before you fall off and hurt yourself  "Jisung!" You called and Johnny flinches looking at you as you frantically looked around "Jisung?" You called out and then your eyes landed to Johnny's hurt ones "Johnny Oppa?" You began and you yelped at the sound of your phone ringing again, you reached out and swiped to answer it

"Noona!" Jeongin's voice greeted you and pulled your phone away to check if it really was I.N.

"I.N.?" You asked voice raspy from just waking up

"Noona, the song" He gasped, he was breathing heavily and he seemed to be in a hurry "the song please tell me that's not what happened? Tell me that Han Hyung is lying"

"Put it on speaker" You heard Seungmin's voice on the other side and from the amount of noise you can hear you were sure that you were on speaker

"You guys shouldn't be making stuff up" You warned a teasing tone playing on your lips

"Noona" This time Seungmin's voice calls you, a serious warning "The song was about you, wasn't it?"

Your lip quivered and you closed your eyes to try and keep your wits together Johnny reaches out to pet your head but stopped when "Hey" Felix speaks up after you were quiet for a long time speaking in the language he knew that makes you feel at home "Hey" He whispers again in English, "Take your time, we'll listen to you when your ready, we just want you to stop keeping us in the dark"

"Is the song true?" Hyunjin asks "Did he hurt you like that?"

You swallowed and closed your eyes "Don't be mad at him" You begged

That was enough of an answer for them, the next thing you heard was the shifting of feet and Lee Know's voice "Yah! Han Jisung!" and then a loud gasp from Changbin "No Hyung, wait!"

"Shit" You heard Jeongin curse "Noona" he calls

"Don't think about it" You answered when he trails off "Just make sure Lee Know doesn't do something rash"

"Yeah" He whispers and you can hear him stand "I'm sorry for yelling"

"I know" You answered "Don't kill Jisung, I think he's beating himself up as it is" From the corner of your eye you can see Johnny turn his to look at you

There was a dry, pained laugh from Jeongin at your words "You, you still want to protect him? I can't believe you"

"I love Jisung" You replied and Johnny visibly freezes "Despite everything, I'm angry, and I feel betrayed, and sad, and ruined and for so long I tried to pretend that I don't care," You shake your head "I still love him, probably not as much as I used to because I was hurt but, I still really, very much love him. So don't kill him"

"Well I won't" Jeongin replied after a second "But Lee Know Hyung might be a different story" He sighs "We're talking more about this, Hyunjin Hyung wants to talk to you aswell,"

"I.N!" You heard Felix calls

"I gotta go" He says and ends the call

Your phone slipped from your hand as the energy you used to force yourself talk finally left your soul and every muscle in your body begging you to just, not do anything, you would've listened but that was when you saw the fire behind Johnny's eyes, he looked upset "Johnny?" You called and he looks away, "Tell me what's on your mind?"

He keeps quiet as if thinking of what to say, looking for the right words, so you kept waiting "Will you hate me?" He began and you mouthed a what as you feel your energy slipping. He shakes his head, "No, Is it selfish of me?" You hum in acknowledgement to his words, He runs his fingers through his hair in frustration, messing it up "Is it selfish of me to tell you to stop thinking about Han Jisung?" He asked

"What?" You asked, reaching out to fix his hair and yelped when he grabs your wrist that was hovering over his face and he pulls you making you get up from your position beside him and stand between his legs looking down on him

"Stop thinking about Han Jisung, stop" He says his grip tightening and you gasped, your knees buckling and you fell to the ground he looks down on you "Tell me you'll stop thinking about him" he demands

You tried to pry your wrist free but to no avail and you glared at him "Johnny snap the hell out of it," You growled "What the fuck is wrong with you?"

Your words might've snapped him out of it and that's when the look he had in his eyes disappeared and he looked at you this time with just sadness, finally letting go of your hand "I'm sorry"

"What happened?" You asked upset

"I wasn't thinking straight," He explains moving his hands about wanting to help you get up but afraid you'll push him away "I'm so sorry" He says again

You looked up at him "You need to rest" You instructed, "You're acting all irritated" grabbing your phone that previously fell and slid away from Johnny who wasn't able to stop you quick enough, wanting some space between the two of you

It was quiet between you and Johnny, the only thing filling the silence was the song Ex on loop coming from your phone, you've lost count on how many times it played, it was just playing, your phone was on your stomach as you lied down on the floor, covering your eyes with your arm

"Y/n?" Johnny calls, its been hours since the incident and in that time he has been beating himself up

"Why are you still here?" You asked and he looks at you, hurt by your words "I thought I told you to get some rest"

"I'm sorry" He says again "I didn't mean to hurt you"

"I know" You answered and sat up "I'm not mad, I was scared and um, surprised but not mad" you listed down your feelings

He looks at you "I'm so sorry"

"And irritated," You continued listing down your feelings "If you say sorry one more time" You gave him tired smile

"You seem tired" He notes and relaxes when you start to smile and tease him

You nod and pat the space beside you so he can come and sit by your side "A little, I did cry" He snorts and sat beside you on the floor "You haven't slept a proper night's sleep, you need rest more than I do"

He stares at you "What are you trying to say?"

"I think we should go home" You answered

He nods and stands "So you're place right?" He says and helps you up as you sent your phone to sleep stopping the music

"Actually I was thinking you go back to the dorm, I go back home" He looks at you with a face "I wanted to be alone"

He nods and bit his lip, his chest rising and falling at a fast pace, stiffening up "Can I at least drive you?" He asks and you look at him "I don't want you to be alone"

"Will that help you?" You asked and he tilts his head, you reach out to rub his arm "You're all worked up"

"I wanna take you home" He says holding your hand "It'll help"

"Ok, but only if you sleep"

"I'll try" He answers and you smile

"Drive me then" You allowed and walked towards the door "But before that, can we make a stop?"

He nods

"When you said stop," Johnny says once you enter the car, with a case full of beer and chicken "I thought we were going somewhere important"

You snort and opened one can and drank a sip "Its important to me" You shrugged "Want some?" You asked and offered him the can

"I'm driving" He points out

"Good answer" You said and gave him a thumbs up "No driving and drinking," You began and chugged the whole can before throwing it too the trash nearby by throwing it "I'm getting good at that"

He starts the car "What's with all the beer?" He asks and makes a turn

"I need to get drunk" You answered "after everything that happened, and I wanna listen to you," He looks at your side  for a second before focusing on the road "I wanna, even just for a second, forget about how much I love Jisung"

Johnny's grip tightens on the wheel "But you can do that sober"

"And I definitely will" You agreed "After a drink"

He purses his lips "Call me" He says and you looked at him "Later I mean, I know you said you wanted to be alone, but nobody really wants to be alone, you know? So call me, there doesn't have to be a reason, maybe you need a voice, or maybe you saw a meme or something or you just don't want to talk but you need to feel someone's presence. Just- Just call me, ok?"

You licked you bottom lip "If I do" You began "Will you pick up?"

"Always" He says quickly, too quickly that he cleared his throat "I mean, yes, I will pickup"

"Haechan says you have a habit of not picking up" You teased

he looks at you "I'll pick up" He said more firmly "If its you, I'll pick up"

You looked at him in surprise "I was kidding," You said "Do you really want me to call you?" He nods "I'll call you but you have to ignore my call, if you fell asleep"

"I'm not doing that-"

You cut him off "Alright I won't call you then" You huffed

"No," he whines "fine," You smile "I won't if I'm asleep, and that's a really big if"

"Promise?"

"I promise"

You smile and looked out the window

Johnny found himself falling face first into his bed when he arrived back to the dorms a little later, Haechan was sitting in front of his computer playing games "You're home late"

"I had to fix something" He answered in a face against the pillow

"Speaking of fixing," Haechan says and leaves the game to swivel his chair and look at Johnny "How's Noona? She was crying when I left"

"She's fine" Johnny answers "She just learned something"

"Was it about her ex?"

"Yeah" Johnny answers

"And how'd you feel about that?"

"Am I supposed to?" Johnny rolls his eyes

"So you did feel something?" Haechan perks up "What did you feel Hyung?"

"Angry" Johnny admits "Whenever she seems upset its always, almost always about her ex. I mean they ended well" Johnny lied, knowing the information wasn't really out in public he almost broke your trust "But still, he and her broke up and she wasn't happy in the end, and now she's dating me, I just" He sighs "I don't want her to think about him anymore"

Haechan stares at him all beady eyed

"What?"

"I can't believe I never noticed" Haechan laughs "How long gave you liked her?"

"I don't?"

Haechan's smile disappears "You're kidding?"

"No, I don't like her, she's just a friend"

"Then why does it matter if she's thanking about her ex?"

"She gets upset" He points out "and I don't like seeing her upset, so I always make her happy"

"Uh-huh" Haechan murmurs "Just to be sure, do you and I have the same definition of liking someone?"

"I don't like Y/n!" Johnny raise his voice

Haechan shrugs, raising his hands in surrender "My, so defensive" He teases more and returned to his game making Johnny throw one of his pillows towards the younger boy, "Ow," He throws it back to Johnny in spite "oh, I don't think anyone has said it yet but you look like shit, when was the last time you slept?"

Johnny shrugs and looks around "I don't remember" He sighs "You know Y/n has been telling me to sleep, nobody noticed how tired I am other than you two"

Haechan swivels and looks at him "Really? I mean, we're room mates I'm bound to notice at some point" Haechan taps his chin "Makes me wonder how much she pays attention to you. How sure are you that she doesn't like you?"

"She's still inlove with Han Jisung" Johnny mumbles

"She is?"

"She said it herself," Johnny covers his eyes as something bubbles up in his chest that even Johnny can't pinpoint "Twice"

"Are you upset?" Haechan asks "Disappointed? Jealous?"

Johnny's eyes snapped open and he sits up to look at Haechan, all of a sudden the feeling, the heaviness made sense, but was he? He wasn't Jealous, he can't be jealous

Haechan raises his hand to stop him from speaking "Don't answer that, you look like you're ready to pull your hair out" He rolls his eyes and moves to play the game and leave Johnny with his thoughts

"Were you asleep?" You asked through the phone, He was lying down on his bed as you lied down on the sofa, Johnny has sat down in your living room enough times to remember what the sofa looked like

"What time is it?" Johnny asks voice groggy, but not because you woke him up, he smiles warmly

"I don't know I think its somewhere before midnight," You answered and he hums "Did you pick up even when you were asleep?" You nagged

"I wasn't asleep" He defended

"You don't sound like you were" You murmur

"I can't sleep" He answers "I was just staring off into space, I haven't used my voice in a couple of hours"

"You promised you'd try to sleep" You pouted and he grins

"I did try, but I can't sleep" He answered "I kept my promise, I'm happy you kept yours"

"The call thing?" You asked

"Yeah," he answered and you both fell into silence "You look sober" He notes

You laugh and Haechan stops playing for a second to turn to look at Johnny who was on a video call with you, Haechan watched as the tension in Johnny's body seemed to disappear at you laugh "Don't like her my ass" He huffs and resumed in playing

"Do I look sober though?" You asked after you calmed "I mean you'll be sober too after scaring yourself"

Johnny's smile disappeared "Did something happen?" He asked worried

"Nothing serious," You answered "I cried a lot, drank a lot too, ended up, watching a horror movie at some point, that sobered me up pretty quickly, so now I'm on a call"

"A horror movie?" Johnny asks amused

"I don't judge how you cope" You shot back and he laughs "Anyway, I just wanted to hear another human being, I don't like living alone" You admitted "That's why I always have guests"

"That's why you called?" Johnny asks

"You said I could call you for whatever reason"

"And I still stand by that" He answers and you smile

"I actually called for a much more serious reason"

He nods "Alright," He sits up "I'm all ears"

You took a deep breath "So, After the fifth or tenth repeat of the song, I thought about something" You began and sat up "I was inspired to write a song" and you flipped the camera to show him the notebook on the coffee table "I recycled some of the lyrics and I called you cause I wanted to ask you something"

"What is it?" Johnny asks

"Sing this with me?" You asked and Johnny's mouth parts in surprise "Um, You don't have to if you don't want it"

"No of course" He quickly stops you "I would love to sing the song with you, but are you sure you want to sing it with me?"

You smile and nod "I could choose between twenty three different members but I want to sing it with you, I mean I did rewrite it at the thought of you so I think it'll be better to sing with you. if you'll allow me"

He sat up aswell and nodded "Yes, Yes I'd sing it with you" He quickly agrees and you laugh

"I finished two or three verses by tomorrow I might've already written the chorus" You stood up to throw the mess you made (and by mess it would be the empty beer cans and the fried chicken box) "So Do you come to me or I come to you?"

"Whatever" He answers with a shrug "I don't mind either"

You puffed your cheeks "Can I go to your place instead?" You asked "I need a new scenery"

He nods "I'll inform the guys, you can come by tomorrow, since it should be the last days of having a day off before the comback"

You nodded "Right I almost forgot about that," You murmur "Don't push yourself, ok?"

"Tomorrow is your last day off right?"

"No I have one more, on Saturday, this week?" You answered and looked through your calendar before nodding "Yeah this week and then that's my last day"

He nods "I have a half day work on Saturday" He says checking his schedule "So tomorrow?" He asks

You nod "Tomorrow, What time?" You asked

"Nine a.m." He answered

"That's early?"

"I wanna spend my day with you and by then I'll be fully awake"

"Alright, I'll let you sleep for an hour more, I'll be there at Ten" You grinned

He laughs "Ten it is" He answers

"Its a date" You said and paused when you took the last sip of beer that you left before making a face and looking away when you swallowed "Oh ew" You huff, before covering your face when you gagged

Johnny looks at you worriedly "Y/n?"

"Bad decision, Bad decision" You murmur "I gotta go and throw up, never let me drink alone again" You instructed "See you tomorrow" you waved and he waved back before ending the call

Johnny places his phone down and moves to lie down when He sees Haechan looking at him amused "Are you a hundred percent sure, you don't like her?"

"I don't" Johnny says sternly and Haechan raises his hand in defeat

"Noona?" Mark asks when he answered the door "You're here"

You raised an eyebrow "Didn't Johnny Oppa say I'm coming over?"

"He did" Mark answered "I just thought you wouldn't come. Come in" He says and leads you inside

You confusedly took off your shoes "Why not?" One hand in Marks as he helps bakances you

"Johnny Hyung's mom is here" Mark shrugs letting go of your hand when you almost received whiplash at the information "Anyway, Johnny Hyung!" He calls before you could ask him

Johnny appeared at the hallway and walked up to you, smiling happily, probably cause he saw his mom again "Y/n" He calls

"Your mom is here?" You asked

He nods  "Is that alright?" He murmurs "Sorry I know we were supposed to work

"Of course it is. Family comes first, its ok, don't worry about it" You answered "But why didn't you tell me? You could spend the day with your mom"

"I wanted to spend it with you too" He answered

You stopped talking and pursed your lip "I could've dressed up a bit more"

He looks at you up and down "I think you look beautiful"

You tried your best to stop the smile from coming out of your lips "You could've told me still"

"My mom decided to surprise me and she wants to meet you" He answers and pets your hair "You worried?"

You nod "Yeah," You sigh "Like when you met Eric" You teased

"Eric likes me" he says offended. You laugh and he rolls his eyes "Well, you look even more beautiful when you smile" he goes behind you and holds you by the arm to steer you around the dorm "Relax, if my mom is anything like me, and she is, She will adore you"

You bowed once you met her "Hello, its nice to meet you my name is L/n Y/n. Its an honor to meet you Mrs. Suh"

She blink at you stiff posture before chuckling and bowing back in greeting "You're my Johnny's girlfriend?"

"Yes ma'am" You answered and she laughs

"Oh Y/n-ssi you're quite stiff" She teases "Are you nervous?"

You nod "Yes, ma'am"

"Don't be" She quickly dismisses "I can see why Johnny likes you, so beautiful" she praises

And you looked down "Thank you"

She laughs again when Johnny this time help you relax by patting your head "Let her be John, I was nervous to when I met your father's parents, everyone freezes up when the meet there in-laws"

You sucked in a breath at the shock of her words making you cough and choke on almost on her words, making her laugh more "Mom, stop teasing her" Johnny warns

"Alright, alright, I'll stop, for now" She winks and you smile "Its nice to meet you Y/n-ssi" SHe says and bows

"And it is nice to meet you, Mrs. Suh" You said back

"Oh don't call me that" She whines "I feel more older than I am," She hums "How about you call me Myoryon" She says asking you to call her by her first name

Your eyes widen and shake your head "With all due respect," You began "Absolutely not" You answered

She laughs again "Why not? Johnny said you were raised abroad"

You look at Johnny before nodding "I was, it's just rude Ma'am, I'd rather not call you that"

You watched as her eyes twinkled "I like you, how about Aunt?" She offered

"If you insist" You began and nod "I will call you that"

"Auntie" She supplied

"Auntie" You agreed with a nod before she nods aswell satisfied, you leaned towards Johnny "She reminds me of you when you asked me to call you Oppa" You remembered

"Told you she was like me" He says and motions for you to pay attention to his mother

MASTERLIST

[lgcjaehwa]

jaehwa wasn't initially aware of the person she was conversing with; she just sensed a presence and wanted to break the silence to avoid any awkwardness. upon turning, she discovered soyoun's brother looking over her shoulder. at first, she was confused by his presence at a retreat meant for debuted artists, it took her a few moments to grasp that he had sort of debuted himself.

"oh hey, max," she greeted him. if her memory served her right, he had only made a brief appearance with agito, and that was the extent of it. hopefully, the company would make an official reveal soon. "how's everything? did you get a good night's sleep?"

[ ☺ ]

there's a bunch of familiar faces around max. partly those he'd only ever seen through a screen as he monitored their movements to learn their choreographies for evaluation or to study his seniors. it was still bewildering that he was now one of those seniors. like looking through the transparent floors they stood on right now, he'd been on the other side of the glass just a couple weeks ago.

raising his gaze to the cameras around them he was also reminded how he mostly was on the viewing and not the filming end-

his musing is cut short by a voice to his left, his head snapping rapt into attention as he focuses on the senior idol beside him. when had she gotten here?! "ah- yeah. it really is," he agrees, looking past her shoulder out to the open bands of trees stretching across the horizon.

[lgcnayoung]

what are your muse’s current goals and motivations?

Nayoung wants to be able to get more confident in herself. at a certain point when she was younger, around the time prior to or around when she joined the company, she was much more confident, but some where along the way, some things tumbled and crumbled, and she does not feel nearly as secure within what she wants to do, and what she wants to head towards. She’s motivated by her future, and how she does enjoy what she’s doing right now. She’s also trying not to focus too heavily on it, despite her life revolving around it. It’s a bit difficult to balance. 

do you think your muse has accomplished any of their goals mentioned above? if so, how did they do it? if not, what do you think could help them accomplish that goal?

Not really, it’s something she’s only recently gotten aware of, especially since she was in LA and Tokyo. She felt so uncomfortable within her own skin, although the language barrier was a huge contribution but she saw that some of the other trainees did not have the same reaction to being in a foreign country. And this is an industry where being in a foreign country is going to happen quite a lot, as artists tour, and have online fan meets, collaborations with people from different countries. Secondly, she’s trying to handle her school/life/’work’ balance, but she and Jaehwa will be graduating pretty soon, so that will be a load off her stressors. In a way, it will work itself out. 

describe one significant memory that has happened to your muse during this trimester (positive or negative).

Having free time overseas with her friends. She’s so thankful that the trainees she is good friends were able to travel with her. Although they may not have necessarily been attached at the hip, even if it was grabbing a snack at the convenience store with Milan that they couldn’t get back home, or going a little crazy in the sensory overload of shops all cluttered along in the heart of Tokyo with Dayeon, those are memories she will keep fondly for a long time to come. Unfortunately, by the time she got to LA, she was so exhausted from all the miscommunication with the outside world that - that is when she really got haggard from even wanting to speak or go outside during free time anymore, and she was so over it. She could physically feel herself give up - which is something she never wants to feel. But thankfully she was with Hyunhee at the time, and Hyunhee always knows how to bring her out of it, without making her feel stupid about anything. 

what is one thing you (as the mun) have learned about your muse throughout this trimester?

Nayoung is new this term, but I honestly thought she’d be different from where she turned out to be. I didn’t realize she’d turtle in to her shell so badly when she was overseas, I don’t think she’s that way in Korea or Mandarin speaking countries, but we will have to see. She’s honestly normally so bubbly in my head, but she completely clammed up in LA, and no translator apps could save her. She was truly thankful to be around those that were willing to distract her from it, or translate for her. Hopefully those language workshops didn’t go in one ear and out the other...

LGC CHARA UPDATE • JINYOUNG’S PHONE

what are the top 5 most used apps on your phone?

“i think crunchyroll might be rank for one for that,” he admits with a chuckle, outing himself as the vivid anime fan he is. “then kkt as the obvious second but also whatsapp for pals from overseas. what else is there....” he scrolls through his phone, humming in thought. “oh- spotify for sure! can’t forget that one. i got a couple playlists that I shuffle through depending on the occasion and mood. as for the last one... probably cookierun kingdom. my brother kind of got me into that one,” he admits while waving his phone. “hollyberry cookie is just the best.”

what is the most random note in the notes app?

“not to be boring but I keep my notes pretty organized actually. there isn’t a random note that I forgot why it existed or why it’s there. I mainly use the notes app to write poems or grocery lists that jinseo gives me. or gift ideas for people who’s birthday is coming up. things I’d like to get jaehwa but she won’t allow me to buy for her...,” he pouts a little, scrolling down the page. “i wasn’t able to really spend our 500 days anniversary together nor her birthday so I just want to get her something really nice... but I know she’ll hit me if I spend too much money-”

what was the last message or call you’ve received and who was is from?

“last message was... from domi! he replied to the picture I sent him. i like to take pictures with my phone when I travel and he gives me the best reactions to them, heh. as for call...,” he moves to his phone app and purses his lips. “my mother. asking me when I’ll arrive for chuseok and if I’m bringing a plus one. i did ask jaehwa if she wanted to come but I’m a bit worried they will try to pick her apart. if they only dare to say a bad word to her I’m taking her back home right away, no matter how jinseo wants me to be civil.”

what were the last 5 songs that you’ve listened to?

“does crystallis whole dischoreography so far count,” he chests with an amused eye smile, exhaling a gust of laughter before scrolling through his last played. “I think I was listening to my chill playlist last to help me settle down after my schedules. so lets see... majority of these probably doesn’t ring a bell to you. there’s mountains by slo five feat. chill select, dusk by lotus beats also feat. chill select- you can tell it’s a playlist i just incorporated into my own. shut eye from laffey- fabulous artist. I love them. the long night by seori feat. giriboy is there and last but not least swim away by kim sejeong. I need to bug jaehwa to record me a cover of that song, she’d sound incredible, I just know it.”

what were the 5 most recent online searches?

“well... ahn jaehwa or crystallis jasmine obviously- people take such great pics of her it’s nice to see she’s doing well and having fun at her schedules,” he smiles down at his phone fondly before continuing on. “well otherwise... kim jinseo because I wanted to keep track of how hyung was doing at fashion week. I’m seriously proud he gets to go I hope I will too one day. future dreams since I have a couple of friends in the competition and I wanted to check on how they were doing. fabula comeback because I do have to support my unofficial little sister, right? oh and also best anniversary gifts for well.... obvious reasons- even if it’s late. or early? the two years is coming up...”

-Shares a blanket- ( jinho @ jaehwa )

˗ˏˋ MEME! ´ˎ˗

      it was a good plan. it was a safe plan. nothing about sharing a blanket with your best friend is weird, right? all she had to do was simply drape the blanket over the others lap. that was it. one of his siblings had blessed her with a blanket, while allowing their older brother to succumb to the cold temperature. what kind of friend would she be if she allowed him to get sick? not a very good one. in fact, a terrible one. jaehwa weighed her options, glancing over towards jinho, it seemed childish honestly, it was just a blanket ( that they’d be sharing! ) no big deal! she held the blanket tightly in her hands, as if it was going to run away from her. jaehwa played it cool, or at least in her mind she thought she did. throwing the blanket over herself and jinho swiftly. it was then, that tiny sky blue forget-me-nots decided to bloom in her hair, as if her flushing cheeks weren’t a dead giveaway, the blooming of the flowers surely done it. still, jaehwa was on a mission. inching closer, in order to close the gap between them. with every centimeter she moved a different flower decided to bloom. by the end, her head was decorated with dozens of different flowers: lilacs, primroses, along with camellias. if she didn’t pay any mind to them, she should be alright as she was finally close enough to feel his warmth but still gave him enough space to move away if he was uncomfortable. her eyes now glued on the television, having no idea what was even playing as she should have probably been paying attention but her mind was flooded with the knowledge that they were sharing a blanket.

LEGACY PROJECT: FUTURE DREAM S004 ( FINALE )

important note: while the majority of this posts pertains to the future dream contestants ( @lgcallie, @lgcarin, @lgcdanbi, @lgceunhye, @lgchyejoo, @lgcichika, @lgcjaehwa, @lgcxminji, @lgcxmiyeon, @lgcnari, @lgcsomin, @lgcsoyoun, @lgctsuki, @lgcyejin, @lgcyura ), there is a small announcement/mention below for the actresses ( @lgcaeri, @lgchanbyul, @lgcmia ) and models ( @lgcyumi ) that were a part of LGC GIRLS SUMMER!

EPISODE 6 & 7 ( AIRING: DECEMBER 4 & 11 )

episode six starts off with a recap of the previous episode before gradually switching over to the practices for the remaining contestants. the interviews are shown as the girls talk about their initial reactions to the feedback along with their song choices. the struggles and hardships are apparent in this episode as viewers begin to wonder what the possible outcome could be. before the sixth episode ends, there is a scene where WOHEE, DAEHYUN, JOSHUA, and YP briefly reveal to the audiences how some of the songs had impact in both their groups and the company as a whole. they leave with a message hoping that the girls will be able to add their own unique twist to such recognizable songs.

while the main focus of episode six were on the remaining contestants, episode seven takes a more optimistic approach as the episode shows short clips of the music show hosts ( specifically AHN JAESUN, HWANG SUBIN, and JI HANEUL ) introducing TEAM SCREAM. right afterwards, the behind-the-scenes moments are shown as the viewers saw that for some of the members, it felt like a completely new experience for them. as for others, it was as if they were back to where they were a couple months ago when the lgc girls performed DUN DUN. 

the scene slowly shifts to the christmas music video filming set. even though the music video and song won’t be released until DECEMBER 20, fans got a 15 seconds sneak peak of the song. only a few scenes were shown in this segment and the episode ends with the caption, “DECEMBER 20, 2021. OUR CHRISTMAS WISH FOR YOU. -TYPE ZERO, V&A, and LGC GIRLS.”

EPISODE 8 ( AIRING: DECEMBER 18 )

it’s the final episode and it starts off with a quick preview of how everyone is behind the scenes. there are some girls stressed over the outcome of their final performances while others are excited because they get to be on stage once again. the scene transitions to the eight judges sitting in their respective spots. “is everyone ready?” hyuncheol asks both the audiences and the rest of the judges before the television screen transitions to a quick montage of the songs that will be performed today followed by each of the girls’ solo performances. 

by the time the last solo performance was done, there was a brief intermission as they show a bit of the LGC GIRLS and their appearance during KBS GAYO DAECHUKJE. some of the people in the audience could already guess what would be the finale song and when the instrumental starts playing, the fans cheer loudly as they hear “I CAN’T STOP ME” live.

after the final performance ended, the panel of judges take some time to talk amongst themselves over who they thought did the best and who would fill the remaining spots. after a couple minutes of deliberation, all of the future dreams contestants return back to the stage.

“what a joy it was watching all of your performances. we’ve seen so many of you grow throughout this season and year that watching all of you perform ‘i can’t stop me’ together made us feel proud. but as much as we enjoyed seeing the performances, this is a competition and we can only pick the best of the best to be in our final lineup.” it’s something that hyuncheol doesn’t want to mention especially when this was going to be revealed to the public, but there were only limited spots left for the lineup and they had to decide on the spot.

he then instructs all of the girls confirmed to debut ( AHN JAEHWA, GEUM DANBI, GONG HYEJOO, KYO MIYEON, MIN SOYOUN, OH EUNHYE, SEO YURA, and YAMASHITA ICHIKA ) to stand in their respective spots ( group 1 and group 2 ). with the final roster in his hands, hyuncheol begins to name the first two people in no particular order, “PONGSAK ARINYA and KOIZUMI TSUKI. please take a step forward.” he continues on as he reveals each name slowly, “HAN ALLIE, LEE MINJI, LEE YEJIN. please take a step forward as well.” 

with the chosen girls standing side by side, hyuncheol admitted, “congratulations. all of you are confirmed to debut and will be joining EUNHYE and MIYEON.” now that there are only two girls left, the anticipation builds up even more as people begin to wonder about the fate of the two girls. 

“LEE NARI and MOON SOMIN. one of you will be confirmed to debut while the other will unfortunately have to pack up her belongings and return back to the dorms.” taking a dramatic pause, hyuncheol said out loud, “the one who will be debuting is… MOON SOMIN. congratulations.” he then turns to look at NARI and tells her, “as for LEE NARI, i’m sad to say that you will not be debuting. we know that you have so much potential to become the next idol, but in comparison to the rest of the girls, you fell short. while your journey for this season has ended, please think of this as an experience for you to grow and refine the skills that you already have.” 

the next few minutes are spent to take in the sudden news but jeongan chimes in as he has a surprise to tell to everyone. “during the solo performances, we were looking for a girl who would suit the final spot and after seeing somin’s performance, we knew that you were the perfect person to complete the first group. so SOMIN, please go to the first group with DANBI.”

for reference, this is the final roster for the two groups:

GROUP ONE:

AHN JAEHWA 

GEUM DANBI 

GONG HYEJOO

MIN SOYOUN

MOON SOMIN

SEO YURA

YAMASHITA ICHIKA

GROUP TWO: 

HAN ALLIE

KOIZUMI TSUKI

KYO MIYEON

LEE MINJI

LEE YEJIN

OH EUNHYE 

PONGSAK ARINYA

“we have one final surprise for both you and the audience.” jeongan stands up before pointing towards the screen behind the girls. the screen begins to play a video that was created by the legacy staffs. the screen begins with a book and as it opens, a crystal appears from it. with the book and crystal next to each other, there is text above the two objects with WOOHEE’s voice echoing throughout the studio, “fabula: the chronological sequences of events in a narrative. a story.” soon after came DAEHYUN’s voice as he said, “crystallis: of the crystal.”

“with these two together, you get ‘the tale of the crystal’.” JOSHUA explained before looking at YP. “and that will be the name of the two new groups.”

the microphone is handed to LEE ISEUL as he begins to explain the names in relation to the groups. “as we’ve mentioned in the past, VERSUS and AGITO were created to represent the light and darkness with TYPE ZERO being the middle point between those two sides. for the girl groups, we’ve created FABULA and CRYSTALLIS with plans to be a part of the legacy lore. like what the artists next to me have mentioned, FABULA means a story — the girls in that group will be continuing BLAZING’s legacy all while creating their own story. this group will be led by OH EUNHYE.” jeongan then turns his attention to DANBI and her group, “and this group will be called CRYSTALLIS to represent the crystal, but in our lore those crystals can represent the origin of magic. this group will be led by GEUM DANBI.”

by the time jeongan is done giving his explanation behind the two names, he then hands the microphone back to hyuncheol as the head manager concludes the episode, “please welcome our two new groups: FABULA and CRYSTALLIS!”

when the cameras stopped rolling and the audiences have left the studio, hyuncheol tells all of the girls that they have a meeting to attend to on MONDAY, DECEMBER 20.

( this part is not filmed and is mostly written here for everyone to know what the girls’ schedules will be for the rest of 2021. )

on DECEMBER 20, all of the future dream contestants ( along with KIM MIA, LEE HANBYUL, SEO YUMI, and YANG AERI ) have gathered with KIM HYUNCHEOL and LEE ISEUL. 

“before we can start working on the debuts, we have year end ceremonies to get through. we’ve listed over your schedules for the rest of this year. in between all of the rehearsals, we recommend FABULA and CRYSTALLIS to take our VARIETY and MCING/HOSTING workshops since it will be useful for an upcoming project we have in store.”  hyuncheol advises the girls while handing out the sheets of paper that contain their schedules.

for the year end ceremonies schedules, you can find it over here! 

iseul then dismisses KIM MIA, LEE HANBYUL, LEE NARI, SEO YUMI, and YANG AERI, thus leaving them with the members of FABULA and CRYSTALLIS. what he plans to tell with the girls is something confidential and he instructs all of the girls to not tell anyone else about it.

“after talking with the coaches and seeing your performances throughout future dreams, we’ve assigned group positions for each of you.” iseul reveals to them the group positions, which is mentioned below:

CRYSTALLIS

AHN JAEHWA: main vocalist, lead dancer

GEUM DANBI: leader, main rapper, lead dancer, vocalist

GONG HYEJOO: main vocalist

MIN SOYOUN: main dancer, lead vocalist

congratulations and thank you to everyone who has been a part of this future dreams journey! rather than having writing requirements for this specific prompt, we’ve decided to not include any for the LGC GIRLS as a reward for joining and completing the fd writing requirements. the rest of the fabula and crystallis information ( line distributions, songs, etc. ) will be posted sometime around JANUARY 16, 2022 ( the start of q1 2022 )!

however, we do have a request for HYEJOO, TSUKI, MIYEON, MINJI, YEJIN, SOMIN, and ARIN. just like type zero, starting from now until JANUARY 8, you can request a stage name! you will have the option to submit THREE POSSIBLE OPTIONS ( alternate spellings and capitalization of the letters are allowed ) from which the company will ultimately choose one as your official stage name. out of character, the admin team will make that choice out of the provided options to ensure coherency amongst stage names in the group. it should go without saying that any stage name suggestions have to be appropriate for a general audience, both in korea and internationally.

if you would like to request a stage name for your muse, please submit the following form until JANUARY 8, 2022 at 11:59PM EST to the lgcmanager blog:

TITLE: MUSE NAME · STAGE NAME REQUEST

1. [ FIRST STAGE NAME OPTION ]

2. [ SECOND STAGE NAME OPTION ]

3. [ THIRD STAGE NAME OPTION ]

[lgcsoyoun]

Humming, Soyoun thinks back to their managers' words. She nods when she finally remembers what they were told about the gemstones. "They did say that if they can afford it, we can get the actual gems for our crowns. But I fear that pink diamonds will be out of the company's budget. Though it would be nice if we can use actual pink diamonds on my crown. I like that they mean femininity and romance, as well as gracefulness and elegance." Laughing, Soyoun then decides to think of other gems that are pink and have a meaning that resonates with her. As she looks through her phone, the right gem finally makes itself known to her. "I think I like pink zircons, especially if I can't get the diamonds," Soyoun says, her voice probably sounding as englightened as she feels. "They resemble pink diamonds and can be a back up if I can't get the diamonds. And they promote confidence and help you to achieve your dreams and goals. And it also means prosperity and success, which is what we want for Crystallis, right? Wha tdo you think?"

Satisfied with her own choice, Soyoun then decides to try helping Jaehwa, too. "Yellow? I think it suits you. Let me think of what yellow gems I know." Going back to her phone, Soyoun then looks for a few yellow stones that would look pretty and expensive in a crown. "There's yellow topaz, yellow diamond, yellow jade, yellow quartz, yellow zircon, golden beryl, citrine, heliodor, golden south sea pearls..." Soyoun trails off, wondering whether Jaehwa is still with her. After all, Soyoun tends to ramble when talking about fashion. "I'm not boring you, am I?"

"not yet," the younger female responded, her brows knit into a thoughtful frown. jaehwa was evidently struggling with the challenge of selecting her crystal. when it came to choosing items that best represents herself, she tended to be more indecisive to avoid any potential regret in the future.

after checking out her birthstones the night before, jaehwa found the colors to be less than appealing. the vibrant green and bright pink of peridot and spinel didn't align with her preferences and the brown-orange hue of sardonyx failed to resonate with her. "those sound really pretty," jaehwa commented. "did they mention using real diamonds? considering the cost of jewels, i doubt they'll invest in real ones, especially for props." she nodded, her gaze returning to her phone, where she had opened a site showcasing a variety of jewels and birthstones. "i don't particularly like my birthstones, so i had to search for something different — something yellow."
