➢ FACTS

Her joining the group was actually a mess up on Cre.Ker’s part. Her and her brother have extremely similar names with only a two letter difference. They had announced the possibility of her brother joining the group after Hwall departed but had accidently posted her name without noticing/double checking until everyone was going crazy about her photos coming up when they searched her ‘brother’s name’.  

Cre.Ker had responded to their mistake and that she was not who they were speaking of, however, a substantial amount of people were actually asking for the company to add her to the group. Many Deobis stated they actually thought she was pretty and wanted to see how she would be. 

Family: Mother, Father, Brother [Chewon; 96′]

She didn’t intend to be an idol, she wanted to be a news reporter. 

She once was scouted while she was at work at a Cafe; she said no but they kept asking her about it. 

Chiwon had officially joined the group mid-2020.

Her Respective Emoji: 🧳 [LUGGAGE] / 🦊 [FOX] / 🐬 [DOLPHIN]

Designed Color: Olive Green / Honeydew Green

Representative Number: 96 [it’s her brother’s birth year]

She is extremely close to her brother. 

She doesn’t enjoy skinship; but she’ll tolerate it for the members.

She is the closest to the 98′ line + Jacob

One of her nicknames is ‘Clumsy Fairy’ because she had tendencies to drop or break things. 

Due to her bad eyesight she wears glasses when she’s at home and corrective contact lenses when she’s out. 

Nicknames: Deobi’s Big Sister, Korea’s Doll + Princess,

I add it there since I have the chance

From now on precise me if you want an ex member in or not since a lot of group gain fame recently even tho they debuted long ago and not anybody got the occasion to stan them before

if you don’t tell me anything I will just put them with this “mark” || If you tell me you want them I will normally put them || if you tell me you don’t want them I will exclude them || if you tell me after the post you didn’t wanted them within one week I will redo the most to least without them for more accuracy || if you tell me one week or more after I will just delete the member from the most to least ||

How to do this? Ex: You want G-Idle but you stanned them only after Soojin departure? G-Idle ot5 in the other way you want Soojin in ? G-Idle ot6

Of course I got limits and this count only for members that:

Didn’t left for legal issues: Hwall The Boyz, Baron VAV, Rocky Astro, Jinni Nmixx..ect

If yes were found innocents: Wonho Monsta X, Woojin Stray Kids..ect

Or got kicked for dumb reasons. (Ex: Dating,Smoking,surgery revealed..ect) Hyuna 4Minute, E’Dawn Pentagon,

I accept member like Soojin G-Idle, Lucas NCT, Ravn Oneus or BI Ikon even if they did questionable things they were never proven to be totally true or totally false so it’s up to your own morality if you want me to include them or not and if you believe what they were accused off is forgivable or not

I DO NOT accept members that:

Were proven culprit of a crime and I hope I don’t need to make example but since some of you can be really delusional don’t even ask for Bigbang Seungri or BAP Himchan cause I’ll block you and judge you really bad. *side eye*

Deceased members by any type of death don’t ask, it’s sick, I’ll block you pt2.

Preferably I’ll not do groups that disbanded too fast after debuting like X1 or members that left too close to the debut like Garam Lesserafim and this has nothing to do with her innocence or not since everybody thinks differently I just think nobody had time to get to know them and I don’t really wanna put time in it neither as a group or member of that group but rather as a soloist if they debuted like that then (Jinni Nmixx even tho she was my bias can be put in that category too as well as Hyuna in any group she was in since she’s now more known as a soloist, I still accept her tho)

Finally don’t ask me for Red Velvet without Yeri, EXO without Chen or Ikon without Bobby cause even if it’s your right you’ll not be welcome on my blog and I risk to proceed really slowly to your request

Number of streams of k-pop artist in 2024 on YT, SK only.

Newer groups have advantage as they are in trend, their fans stream their songs for music shows and charts, plus the fans of older groups may listen to mp3 or CDs bought way before instead of online. Thus it's even more impressive when old gen artists are in demand on YT.

This list also shows the difference in popularity in SK versus international. Ateez and SKZ are much less popiular at home than it appears globally. Before we talked about how it is benefitial to be popular abroad and at home, try to target both parties.

Day6 is really a phenomenon, huh? 1st place 462 million streams. Maybe 127 also has a chance to jump this way and peak again in the future, afterall, heh.

48th Yang Yo-seop (solo) 18.5 million streams

49th V (solo) 17.9 million streams

50th Zerobase One (boy group) 17.8 million streams

-----------------------------

BlockB, Beast, G.O.D are old groups, and still remembered and listened to.

Lee Changseop is a BTOB member, he played Fersen same year as Doyoung (the guy who asked Do's fans to pass hello to Doyoungie, when he was leaving a music show place in a car). I didn't know he is such a popular soloist.

It's really suspicious how big TWS became in half a year. SKZ (from JYP, not a small company) and 17 took years to achieve this attention. Are they promoted as 17's little brothers, so 17's fandom supports them the way BTS's fans did for TXT?

Out of k-pop groups 127 is the 10th most listened to.

BTOB is known for their vocals. Debuted in 2012, so a 14 y.o. group. They had a hit when one of the members left due to a scandal. They even went to Kingdom show to remind the public about themselves.

Despite the 13th place, they do not sell well. Afterall, streams and financial stability are not correlated. Physical albums, concerts and merch bring money, not digitals. Therefore, be careful with such lists and conclusions based on them. It's only one piece of a puzzle.

Another example, Lee Changsub is much higher than Doyoung, but look at his sales. Likewise, Zerobaseone isn't popular with gp at all, but their albums surpass 1mln.

Ok, ladies next.

1st New Jeans (girl group) 570 million streams

Never heard about a couple of ggs here.

Taeyeon alone is more popular than BTS or Seventeen, haha.

Ifans were not kidding saying that 4th gen was dominated by ggs, huh. NJ, Aespa, IVE, (G)-Idle and even LSF do have massive streaming power in SK. Doyoung needs to upgrade his game 10-fold to catch up to noona.

It’s Morphing Time! [221031]

Three power rangers walk into a practice room-

Era: 2022, Halloween

The live starts in an empty room in frame as more viewers trickle in

M:It’s Morphing Time! Go Go Megaforce!

B:Magic Force! Mystic Force! Mystic Power!

ML:It’s Morphing Time! Pterodactyl!

One by one, Mae, Byeol and Melody shouting out catchphrases and posing until all three of them were visible on camera, fully masked up

The girls started giggled after they broke formation and took off their masks

@/triplethreat: am i dreaming?!?!

@/MMandB: THEYRE THE PINK RANGERS

@/oneinamillion: MY PAST AND FUTURE ARE COLLIDING

B: Wah, the chat is going by fast

ML: Should we properly introduce ourself to the people watching?

M:Oldest first~

Melody sighed and mumbled under her breath before looking at the camera

ML: Hello, I’m The Boyz, Melody

B: Hello, I’m Stray Kids’ Byeol~

M: If you’re on my account you probably already know me but

M: Hello, I’m NCT’s Mae!

The three of them sat in a line as the comments started pouring in fast

ML: You guys are surprised, right?

B: So were we ㅋㅋㅋ

Melody picked up her phone so she could see what was going on

M: I texted the girls my costumes so I could show them my costume

M: But apparently we all had the same idea

Byeol pointed accusatorily towards Mae

B: They’re always copying me

M: What are you talking about

@/ncityinthehouse: i can feel an argument coming already

@/dreaminadream: they’re so cute

Melody sighed as she watched the two of them bicker and tried to calm the two of them down to some avail

Eventually the two calmed down enough to focus back on the chat

@/candyland: Melody looks like she’s used to this 

@/luckynumber3: she looks like she's aged fifty years

ML: You have no idea everyone!

Melody let out an exaggerated sigh 

ML: I don’t need hair dye to have gray hairs now

B: You know you love us unnie ㅋㅋㅋ

Byeol and Mae snuggled up next to Melody, causing the girl to smile

@/singsangsung: it’s cool that you’re three versions of the pink ranger

M: I know right?!!?

Mae perked up, excited to talk more about power rangers

M: We talked about how each of the power rangers we’re dressed up as is the season we grew up with as kids

B: I was actually going to be the blue ranger, but Chan convinced me otherwise

B: Melody you said you really liked the pink and blue ranger from Mystic Force too right?

Melody nodded excitedly

ML: Vida and Madison Rocca if you're ever visiting Seoul please come visit us~

Mae stood up from her spot on the ground and picked up her weapon

M: Should we try dueling?

Byeol and Melody jumped us and grabbed their weapons as well

B: Let’s go!

The three of them went to different sides of the practice room before running towards each other and “attacking” each other

The scene looked really cute as the girls continued laughing as they “fought”

Eventually the three tired out and walked back to their original spots on the floor

ML: I won~

M: You wish unnie

Everyone caught up with their breath as they continued reading the comments

@/girlsontop: maybe next year you can go as the whole group

ML: That sounds fun! Monsters won't have a chance against us

Melody turned to the group with a thinking face

M: Dibs on Red Ranger!

B: Why do you get to be the Red Ranger??!

M: Because I'm the sunbaenim!

B: You're still the youngest!

The two immediately started bickering again, much to Melody's dismay

Melody didn't even bother trying to stop them and instead focused on the chat

@/threeofakind: uh oh the girls are fighting again

ML: Anyways everyone, what is everyone's dressing up for Halloween?

Melody watched as the chat poured in all of the costume ideas, mentioning a few that caught her eye

At this point, Byeol and Mae stopped arguing and joined Melody

The costumes were ranged from cute and simple to silly and extra

Apparently, some people had the same idea and went as monsters

B: Wah, someone's entire friend group is monsters?

M: Do you...want to fight us?

Melody laughed and pushed Mae playfully

ML: Meet us at the rooftop of SM Entertainment

B: We meet at dawn next week

A whisper from the side interrupted their giggling

M: Everyone! Melody unnie and Byeol unnie have to go to another schedule

B: It was nice seeing everyone!

The three girls nodded to each other and took out their morphers

ML: Ready?

M, B: Ready!

M, ML, B: Rangers Together, Friends Forever!

M, ML: B: Happy Halloween!!!!

A Song of Ice and Fire

The boyz 12th member

Mae’s masterlist

“Behind Kingdom’s 2nd and 3rd episodes” The reveal of Mae’s so!!

a/n: Feel free to share your thoughts with me. Requests are open!🧡

Since The Boyz's rehearsal was over and all the members were pretty much ready, only waiting for the other groups to also finish up their run through and finally start the recording for the second and third episodes. Glancing at her phone, Mae took note of the messages as well as the time and sat on a couch inside their waiting room.

“Want some tteokbokki?” Sangyeon extended his bowl of lunch, but she waved him off, reaching for a salad bowl labeled “Mae” on the coffee table.

“Can't. It'll make me look bloated” Picking out the pieces of chicken in the salad, Mae shrugged, making him frown.

“I'd rather that happen than you pass out later on. Come on, leaves aren't going to get you to run around that big ass stage while blasting your voice off”.

“Yeah, well, are you going to argue with the managers?” She rose an eyebrow and pointed at one of them standing by the door while pretending he wasn't watching over her.

“That wasn't a problem the last time. Are you sure you didn't understand it wrong? Who even said you had to be careful of eating?”

“I'm pretty certain on this one, Oppa. The salad bowl was the only one that had a label on it” Pointing out to the other boys eating, Mae shrugged and kept peeking out the protein on her container.

“Well, I don't care, just have the rest of my food, and I'll deal with whoever says anything about it” Sangyeon tried giving it to her again, but the girl quickly shoved it back to him.

Speaking through her teeth, she turned, so her hair was blocking her face from anyone in front of them. “I'm going to the van in ten minutes, so I can grab those snacks we keep in the back pockets of the seats then. Just pretend everything is normal until then, please”.

“Why are you going to the van?” Whispering, the leader frowned and followed her gaze to her phone. She quickly unlocked the screen, allowing him to read the last received message. “Ahh, oh. Okay. Well, maybe I shouldn't know about this”

“Oppa, please pretend everything is normal” Mae semi-scolded him. 

Nodding, Sangyeon complied, “I'll try.  Don't you dare get caught. This time, the staff is much stricter about the groups not seeing each other”.

Leaning back, Mae returned to her search for the chicken bits. She watched as the minutes passed by, slowly sinking down the couch and placing a hand on her lower abdomen, putting the bowl of food on the ground and sighing loudly.

Mae closed her eyes for a few seconds before looking around and grabbing a hot pack to place on her belly. She noticed Sangyeon was trying not to make eye contact, while the managers weren't paying much attention on where she was. Groaning, the girl tried adjusting herself while closing her eyes again. Her breath had gone unsteady when somebody placed a hand on Mae's shoulder.

“Are you okay?” Changmin whispered to her and without opening her eyes, Mae answered annoyed “Period cramps”.

“Do you need medication?” A manager's voice asked, much to her satisfaction, and the girl shook her head.

“I already took it. Just trying to get comfortable until it sets in” Once again, she shifted around, trying to find a good position to be in.

“Maybe she should go to the van… while we have lunch and wait around, at least… You know, give her some privacy and rest” Sangyeon pitched in, looking blankly at the wall and Mae didn't know if he had made it obvious or not that she was plotting to leave the waiting room.

“I guess that could work. Let me just check something, and we'll get you to rest there” The manager quickly walked out. Mae didn't bother to change behaviors, or explain the situation to Q, who looked kind of worried, since within a few seconds he came back and waved for her to follow him.

Pulling her puffer jacket over her costume, and holding the hot pack on her stomach, Mae got up and slowly followed him out into the hallway. After a long walk to the parking lot, they finally made it to the van, where the girl threw herself onto the first row of seats and sighed, still pressing the hot pack on her skin.

“Text me when you're fine to come back, and please don't leave until somebody comes to pick you up” The manager waited for her to nod and closed the door. Quickly running around to the driver's seat and turning on the AC, so she wouldn't suffocate inside the black car.

Mae waited until he was finally back inside the building, to throw the pack on the ground and take off the jacket. Walking to the last seats of the car, she searched for a pack of chips and munched on them while looking out of the window and to the monotone parking lot.

After a few minutes and an empty bag of snacks later, she opened her phone and was ready to look for more chips before a pair came out of the building and walked straight to the cars. Mae watched them for a few seconds before recognizing Stray kids' Lee Know and a manager making their way to the vehicle parked near the entrance.

Turning her attention back to the Netflix app, Mae scrolled around it boringly, trying not to anticipate what was going on outside. She had added a couple of movies to her list by the time the van's door got open and Minho peeked inside.

“Well, that took a lot more effort than it should” He rolled his eyes and smirked mischievously, pulling himself inside and quickly shutting the door.

“That's on you, it feels like I've been here for at least ten minutes” Mae snickered, scooting one seat over, so he could sit next to her.

Holding her cheek, Minho gave her a quick peck before leaning back and squinting towards her.

“Are those supposed to be crystals?” He pointed out the sparkling fake ice on her hair.

Mae shrugged and traced a finger down the scales drawn on his neck, “I'll tell you, if you tell me what this means”

“Well, I'd rather kiss then” He laughed as she punched his chest and rolled her eyes. “I'm kidding, I'm kidding. So, did you have lunch already?”

“Kind of. But if you have a cup of ramyun hidden somewhere, then it's more than welcome”.

“I'm sorry to disappoint. Though I do have some great dessert for us to share” Smiling excitedly, he pulled something out of his coat pocket and displayed it proudly to her.

Trying to repress a groan, Mae sighed, “You and your stupid pocky sticks”.

“Hey, it worked on the first time and look where we are now” Nonchalantly, he took a bite from one side as she did from the other one. “It's kind of our thing, isn't it cute?”

“It would be, if you didn't take the strawberry covered part every time” She rolled her eyes as they took another bite. Taking the small piece left, she placed it on her mouth, and he quickly moved to join their lips into another small kiss.

“Whatever, you say” Minho took another pokey and bit it the exact same way, only to complain when Mae reached inside the box and took a biscuit for herself.

“So, how is everyone holding up?” She pretended he wasn't sending daggers her way and asked nonchalantly.

Rolling his eyes, the boy munched lonely and answered. “We could be better, but I'm sure we'll do fine nonetheless. Please cheer when Felix shows up, he's really nervous to see what the reactions are going to be like”.

“And you're not going to ask me to cheer for you?” Mae raised one eyebrow, making Minho snort.

“Nah, I know you'll do it anyway”.

summary : riley is performing d.d.d at the mma awards 2019 and there is a technology malfunction.

word count : 2k

warnings : mentions of blood, injuries, pain

set on : november 30th, 2019

a/n : sorry i've been kinda non-existent recently. wasn't sure what to post and i've had an ungodly amount of homework recently. i still have a lot to do this week but i hope to post again by saturday maybe don't @ me on that. anyways, enjoy <33! also, this post is inspired by this post by @/junicai.

Riley lied down on the stage at the 2019 Melon Music Awards, in position for The Boyz’s opening performance. They were starting the show, so it had to be good.

She adjusted her suit jacket one last time before hearing the metronome sound in her ears. They were starting.

As the music pounded through the speakers, Riley’s body moved automatically. She didn’t have to think about where to move for each formation. She danced her best with her stern expression, not wanting to change the vibe of the performance with a smile.

As the music changed to a more aggressive sound, the intimidating look in Riley’s eyes only intensified. She hit each beat with precision, completely synchronized with the other eleven boys on the stage.

As the twelve members stood in a horizontal line, a mask was placed in front of each of their faces. Riley grabbed her blue, sparkly mask and used it to accentuate the choreography, moving the prop just like how they had practiced.

She moved in front of Juyeon as they all threw their masks out of the way. Riley winked at the camera as she took the center position and danced her heart out. Then, as the lights went dark, signaling the end of the dance intro, Riley moved further back into the formation so they could perform D.D.D.

As soon as the song started, Riley couldn’t help but perform with a grin on her face. The song made her so happy, and it was evident through her dancing.

Riley stepped back into the center after Sunwoo had done his rap. She started hers. With fantastic charisma and facial expressions, Riley rapped her lines with expertise, like an idol that had been doing this for many years.

As Riley finished her verse, she started to hear what seemed to be static in her in-ears. She was confused and a little nervous, but she didn’t show it in her face as she moved for Jacob to go into the center. When Kevin took his spot, she moved even more to the back of the formation. The static only seemed to get louder. Riley shook her head a little bit, trying to knock the sound out of her head.

As Sangyeon sang his high note before the chorus started up again, the most ear-piercing, loudest noise that Riley had ever heard screeched through her right ear.

The earth-shattering noise rendered Riley’s mind blank. Her eyes rolled to the back of her head for a split second before a sharp pain stabbed through her ear again. Her hands scrambled to her right ear, yanking the technology out. Riley stumbled and almost fell over before she remembered that she was currently performing at the MMAs.

Riley’s pulse rapidly increased, but maybe that was just because she was dancing and she was getting tired. She couldn’t hear anything out of her right ear, but maybe that was just the adrenaline. Her left in-ear was barely functioning. It was still playing the backing track with the metronome, but it was so quiet that Riley could barely hear it over the vocals of her group mates.

The girl resulted in counting in her head as she would do in dance practices. She pushed back her feelings and hid her pain with a smile, looking up at the audience like she was the happiest person alive. Unbeknownst to her, a metallic, crimson liquid had been dripping down her face onto her white suit. A very striking contrast in color that could be seen by almost anyone watching their performance.

Riley got on the floor again, continuing to dance. She prayed that the song would end soon, that something horrible would happen, and the rest of their stage would be canceled, anything to get her off of this stage right that second. She felt something wet on the side of her face, assuming it was sweat; she had gone to wipe it. She was startled to see her fingers colored a dark red. Only then did she recognize the clogged feeling in her ear amongst the immense pain. It was almost like the feeling you get when you get out of the pool, and there’s water in your ears, so you have to shake your head a few times to get it out. Only this time, she couldn’t get it out, and there was only more blood coming, and she was in excruciating pain, and she was performing on stage in front of thousands of people.

Riley stood up, taking center stage in front of the line of boys behind her. She was thankful that she wasn’t a vocalist and that she didn’t have to sing now. She pursued with her counts as she danced without an error to be seen, moving to each move on each beat exactly. The only shocking thing besides her dancing skills was the blood dripping onto her white suit more with each passing second.

Her injury had earned The Boyz’s attention now as they saw the girl dance in front of them. She gained some concerned looks, which she paid no mind to; she needed to get this done and over with.

As the final dance break started again, Riley felt another round of debilitating pain shoot from her ear down through the rest of the right side of her body. It’s okay, there’s only thirty seconds left. You can finish this, she thought to herself.

The chorus played again, and Riley plastered on another fake smile. She danced through her pain like a true professional would, acting like she was having the time of her life on the stage. The choreography ended with Riley in her center position. The camera focused on her face, the right side doused with blood.

As the stage lights went dark, Riley rushed off stage. She nearly fell down the stairs into the backstage area. Her vision was blurry, feeling like she was drunk at a rave. She continued to hobble all the way to The Boyz’s green room. She threw the door open and collapsed onto the floor, both of her hands flying to her right ear as she whimpered in agony. She used one of her hands to pull at the other in-ear, still tightly stuck in her left ear. She pulled it out, leaving her in-ears and microphone dangling by their cords.

A pair of arms slipped under her armpits, pulling her up to the black couch that she had fallen in front of. Riley didn’t know who had grabbed her; she couldn’t make out any faces or people as she saw many blobs of white enter the room.

“-ley, Riley!” a faint voice called, gaining her attention. Her eyes shifted in and out of focus a few times before settling on the face in front of her. “What happened?”

“I don’t- It’s my-, ringing,” Riley rushed out in between gasps. Two pairs of hands began gently pulling at the white suit jacket that Riley was still wearing, despite her having been extremely hot in it earlier. As the white blazer was pulled off, Riley’s mic pack was detached from the waistband of her pants, finally allowing her microphone and in-ears to be taken away. Another blurry face appeared in front of her.

“Riley, you need to breathe, okay? Come on, you can do it,” another voice said. It was familiar. Hyunjae, she thought. The two faces in front of her seemed to clear up in her line of vision, the other face turning out to be Sangyeon. Riley tried her hardest to listen to what Hyunjae had said, but it was tough to calm her breathing when her ear felt like it was being repeatedly stabbed. “Good, good, okay, can you tell us what happened?”

“I can’t hear,” Riley breathed out.

“What do you mean you can’t hear?” Sangyeon asked.

“My ear, it’s ringing,” Riley tried to explain, still leaving Hyunjae and Sangyeon confused.

“Hyung! Did you find out what happened?” Juyeon called, entering the main dressing room again.

“No, I think she’s in too much shock now. She keeps saying that her ear is ringing,” Hyunjae explained to him. Juyeon looked at Riley, her back facing him. A tissue had been placed on Riley’s shoulder to catch any of the dripping blood, but it didn’t seem to be doing too well of a job as it was now soaked through.

The dressing room door opened, and in walked a few medics along with Kevin, Haknyeon, and Chanhee. One of the medics went over to Riley, bending over slightly before getting something out of his bag. It was some medical instrument that was lightly stuck into Riley’s ear. Riley jerked her head away from the tool as even more significant pain erupted in her ear.

“I’m sorry, I just need to look for something. It will only take a second,” the medic said before sticking the tool back into Riley’s ear. Riley bit down on her lip to suppress the extra pain. The doctor wiped off their instrument with a handkerchief before facing the other members, who looked at him expectantly. “I believe that Riley has ruptured her eardrum. It’s hard to tell how severe it is because of the amount of blood in her ear, though. She needs to go to the ER to get it checked out. Unfortunately, no doctor’s offices are open now.” Sangyeon nodded.

“Thank you,” he said. Then, Changmin, Younghoon, and Jacob came into the main dressing room, as well, Riley’s bloody in-ears in hand.

“We found the problem!” Changmin called, gaining everyone’s attention.

“What is it?” Juyeon asked.

“The transmitter broke,” Changmin started.

“Which caused the mic pack to malfunction,” Younghoon continued.

“Which then caused Riley to have 160 decibels of sound go through her right ear,” Jacob finished.

“What does that mean?” Sunwoo asked.

“It means that Riley just heard what a shotgun sounds like going off right next to your ear,” Younghoon clarified. Some of the members’ eyes went wide.

“That’ll definitely do it,” the medic stated. “She’ll be having some hearing loss for a little while, but it should come back normally either in a couple of hours or in a day or two,” the medic said before exiting the dressing room.

“Some parts of the tech are fried inside, as well,” Changmin said.

“Well, what are we waiting for?” Chanhee piped up. The other members looked at him. “The medic said that Riley needs to go to the ER, so why aren’t we going?”

“He’s right. Let’s go!” Sangyeon clapped his hands together, making everyone start moving. Riley was helped up from the couch by Hyunjae and Juyeon, both of them keeping their arms around Riley so she could walk. Her balance was horribly off, and no one, not even Riley herself, trusted her ability to walk on her own.

The members of The Boyz shoved themselves into two cars and drove to the ER quickly. Riley was rushed to a doctor immediately, the amount of blood coming from her ear worrying the medical staff. She was diagnosed with a perforated eardrum, a small tear in the tissue that had separated the ear canal from the eardrum. She had almost burst her eardrum, but it was not quite that severe. She was given an eardrum patch to help the small hole close, some painkillers, and was sent home within two hours.

“Manager hyung, I’m sorry,” Riley said as she buckled her seatbelt in the van.

“For what?”

“I got blood all over my outfit, and it was expensive.” Riley looked down at the stage outfit that she was still wearing, just as the other boys in the car. They hadn’t had time to change before going to the ER.

“It’s okay, Riley. I don’t care about the outfit. I just want you to be in good health,” the man said, offering Riley a smile.

Jealousy, Jealousy pt. 2

Ivy + TBZ + SKZ

[ TXT 6th Member ]

As Jacob is leaving for Ivy’s solo performance, Ava shows up and asks him for help. 

Jealousy Jealousy pt. 1

masterlist | coffee? | Send in your requests for Ivy or any feedback/questions you have!

JACOBS POV 

Jacob was getting ready to leave to go to Ivy’s performance and he wasn’t looking forward to it. Of course, he was proud of Ivy and wanted to support her but Chan was going to be there too. Jacob was well aware that Chan and Ivy were best friends. It’s not that he didn’t like Chan he just wanted Ivy to depend on him more than Chan. I guess you can say it was a pride thing.

 All the other members besides Kevin had plans today since it was their only day off for the next few weeks. Jacob stopped by Kevin’s room to let him know that he was leaving. “Hey Kev, I’m leaving but I can’t find my phone have you seen it?” 

“I remember seeing it in the living room on the side table, check there,” Kevin stated, as he remembered seeing it there last. “Okay, thanks,” 

As Jacob made his way to the living room there was a knock on the door. Jacob was confused because he didn’t recall any of the members telling him that they were expecting company but maybe Kevin ordered food. Opening the door he didn’t expect to see Ava standing there. The two weren’t very close but knew that the girl and Eric were. 

“Eric isn’t here right now, he’s out with Jisung and Felix actually,” Jacob explained. “I know I saw him already, I’m actually here to see you. Do you have a second?” Ava Sighed. She had spent a few minutes hanging out with the three and none of them were helpful. 

“Uh, not really. I have somewhere to be in an hour,” Jacob replied, kind of feeling bad because the girl looked a little stressed out. 

“I’m hoping it will only take a second,” Ava responded, hoping Jacob could help her. He was her last resort, she had talked to Eric earlier but he was no help. 

“Okay, what do you need,” Jacob questioned. “I asked Eric and he was no help, I was going to ask if you could help me set something up for Kevin. I know you two are best friends and you know him the best. I just wanted to do something special for him, and this is the only day of we both have at the same time so I was hoping I could do it today and,” 

“I’ll help you,” Jacob interrupted the girl. He felt bad that Eric was no help and she had to come all the way over here. He kind of figured that Ava and Kevin had feelings for each other and this just confirmed it for him. 

“Okay, I’ll try to make it quick since you have plans, I just want to go to the store and get a few of his favorite things,”  Ava replied, smiling happily that Jacob was willing to help her. “Okay let me grab my coat really quick,” Jacob spoke, as he turned around to go to his room and grab a coat. 

“Oh hey,” Kevin announced, noticing Ava standing in the hallway by the door as he was coming out of his room. “Hey,” Ava waved, giving Kevin a small smile. 

“What are you doing here,” Kevin questioned confused about why the girl was here. The two had talked recently and Ava didn’t mention that she was coming by. “I just needed Jacob’s help with something really quick,”

“Oh, cool” Kevin muttered, kind of disappointed at the fact that she wanted Jacob’s help and not his. “Okay, I’m ready. See ya bro,” Jacob announced to Ava and saying bye to Kevin. 

After the two got what they needed from the store, Jacob suggested that she should set everything up on the roof since it was one of his favorite spots to hang out. Jacob figured he would let Kevin know that he was back and put the ice cream he bought for the members away. 

Ava began setting up the lights and candles she bought while Jacob was doing what he needed to do in the dorm. She was in her own world while she was putting the lights up that she didn’t even notice that Jacob had come up. 

“Do you need any help with those,” Jacob asked, noticing that Ava was struggling a bit. “No, I think I got it. Do you want to set up the food and desserts on the table? It’s starting to get pretty late and I don’t want to miss the sunset.”

The two ended up finishing setting up about 30 minutes later, tired from all the hard work they did they sat down on the bench for a minute. “Thanks for helping me, it means a lot. I’m sorry you missed your plans.” Ava apologized, she wasn’t sure exactly what his plans were but she had it feeling it had something to with Ivy. Since the two girls weren’t on good terms on the moment she has a bad feeling about all this. 

“It’s not a big deal, I enjoyed helping. I’m gonna go down and get Kevin, are you ready?” Jacob asked, getting up and smiling at the girl. “Yeah,” Ava smiled, getting up as well and making her way over to the table to make sure everything looked perfect. 

Jacob made his way into the dorm and noticed that most of the boys were back home. He greeted them and asked them how their day went, then proceeded to Kevin’s room. “Hey, There is a surprise for you on the roof, grab a jacket it’s pretty chilly,”

“Uh okay,” Kevin furrowed his brows slightly confused, but regardless he grabs his coat without question. “Oh did Ivy find you?” He questioned

“What do you mean,” Jacob questioned, now just as confused as Kevin just was. “Ivy showed up a few minutes ago and I told her you were on the roof, figured she went up there,” Kevin shrugged.  Jacob panicked figuring that Ivy probably saw him and Ava sitting on the roof together and got the wrong idea especially since he missed her performance. 

“Oh my, okay” Jacob panicked patting his jeans and searching his pockets for his phone. “If you’re looking for your phone it’s still in the living room, oh and Ivy called earlier but you weren’t here.” He didn’t even respond to Kevin and rushed into the living to grab his phone. He didn’t mean to spend so long helping Ava but it was something that wasn’t only important to her but to Kevin. But then again Ivy was his girlfriend and he should have put her first. He could only imagine how disappointed Ivy probably was and he didn’t know how to fix it.

can i request kingdom reaction to kairo's visuals and skills?

— kairo’s recognition on kingdom

a/n hello!! thank you so much for requesting :D! this also feeds into my little ideas for kairo on kingdom/rtk so thank u for that HAHA i hope u enjoy! and i hope u don’t mind it being bullet-pointed 🥲🥲 below are some outift references for kairo’s fit in the no air stage!

kairo’s masterlist

gif credits to @/ridin and @/jaemtens!

kairo got lots of attention during kingdom and going viral for his stages and skills. he has been praised many times for his stage presence and how he perfectly fits in the boyz’s kingdom concepts!

one of his most viral moments up to this day is his ice skating intro for no air (a song of ice and fire)

he went viral for both his outstanding visuals and unexpected talent for ice skating

he’s no olympic or professional skater, but he enjoys it as a hobby and took many classes when he was younger and he also flexes on his members when they go ice skating and they make him teach them HAHA

with this hobby, kairo decided that he wanted to take advantage of it and add it to their performances. they ended up renting out an ice rink for a day just for this small intro, kairo even helped with the money and budget, so kind of him!

noone really knew of his knowledge of ice skating other than tbz and some of his idol friends, so when the short underwater intro didn’t cut to a stage but to a prerecorded video of kairo on a decorated ice rink, everyone was SHOCKED

skz han, loudly: IS HE GONNA SKATE??

skz felix: hey.. this is a bit unfair don’t you think 😅

atz san: WOOYOUNG DID KAIRO TELL U THAT HE COULD ICE SKATE?1$1@

atz wooyoung: NO?1??2

a whole lot of jaws dropped, silence because groups were just watching in awe, cheers when he does tricks, praising him about how elegant he looks on the ice, and how he’s so talented

btob: this is gorgeous.. 😨

ikon jay: this is so cool! he already dances really well, and you’re saying he can ice skate too? wow..

sf9 taeyang: isn’t he so graceful?

skz bang chan: hey… i did NOT expect this 😭

atz hongjoong: the boyz impress me everytime..

they still kept the pov kind of camera, so the camera followed him around on the ice and sometimes he would take the camera person’s hands and hold them to keep the rpg game vibe

sf9’s jaeyoon: i wish he could hold my hand like that

skz lee know: oh my, he’s so handsome

his intro segment may have not been super long, but you definetly didn’t want to miss a single second of it

off camera and during some moments during that round of kingdom, he got loads of compliments about his ice skating intro and became very known for it

during the sports day, they even introduced him as ice prince, the boyz’s secret weapon, elsa from frozen(??), and more nicknames related to ice skating 😭

max changmin: who’s next from the boyz? oh look, it’s the ice prince, kairo!

tbz: CHOI KAIRO PLEASE DO SOME TRICKS!1!2

ikon bobby: WOOO KAIRO!!

ateez, especially woosan: ENCORE PLEASE!!! PLEASE SPIN FOR US!!!!

skz han: OUR ICE PRINCE CHOI KAIRO!!!!

kairo, covering his face: STOP ITKSJE

overall, kairo definetly brought in many new fans with his extraordinary, unexpected performance on the ice! both from fellow participants and fans of the other groups on kingdom

some other eye-catching moments of kairo were his visuals in general

ending fairies, small clips of him performing, his stage presence would make him go viral and have non-deobis asking who he was

kairo’s charming expressions and looks made many people drawn to him

even when he wasn’t on the stage and just behind the scenes, he was still very noticed!

kairo gained compliments throughout all of the rounds

skz changbin: wow, he suits this concept so well (o sole mio: the red wedding)

btob penial: kairo is so stunning! it’s shocking! (no air: a song of ice and fire)

ikon bobby: mannn, he’s handsome, they’re all so handsome (monster: stormborn)

to non-fans that know of the boyz, he’s usually known as the handsome ice skater from kingdom 😭

some things kairo also got recognition for was his dancing!

with his sharp and clean movements, you could easily recognize that he was one of the main dancers of the boyz

he could easily fit any concept and his dancing would be so different but always so mesmerizing

overall, kairo felt like kingdom was a great way to show off his skills as a performer and how he can pull off such intense stages. he got to explore concepts and show some hidden talents that he had. despite it being a hard experience and it took lots of work, he’s very grateful for the opportunity of being in the boyz ❤️

Han River

Mae meets Jungwoo and have a talk

Time: 2018

[A/N This is a mess but I just wanted to make a Melody and Jungwoo interaction]

Han River had always been one of Melody’s favorite places in Seoul.

She always enjoyed going on walks there whenever she had the time, cherishing the time away from being an idol.

She loved performing and being with her members, but sometimes she wanted some time alone to relax and clear her head.

Walking aimlessly down the pathway, Melody spotted someone staring out into the water, lost in thought.

Against her better judgement, her curiosity got the best of her and moved closer to the person, wanting to see the face of the person.

Her eyes widened when she caught a glimpse of their face.

They were wearing a mask, but Melody has watched enough videos to see who it was.

Kim Jungwoo.

Jungwoo was a new addition to NCT when the group promoted their Empathy album and was officially announced to be a permanent member of NCT 127.

While Melody has been friends with Mark for a while, she had never had the chance to properly meet his members.

Sure, she had met NCT 127 a few times at music programs and they’ve mentioned each other, but she wouldn’t say she was too close with them.

She wanted to become friends with them, but Jungwoo was the person she wanted to get to know.

“Excuse me, are you NCT’s Jungwoo?” Melody asked him. While she was Mark’s friend, she didn’t want to take the chance of him mistaking her for a sasaeng.

Jungwoo turned to her and his eyes widened.

“Oh? Are you Melody from The Boyz?”

Melody stared at him surprised. She didn’t think he’d recognize her that quickly, even with her mask. She didn’t think he would recognize her at all.

“How?”

“Mark talks about you sometimes,” Jungwoo said, rubbing the back of his neck, “And I watch your videos every once he a while...”

Melody smiled.

She thought it was cute that he was a little embarrassed.

“I watch your videos too! I actually wanted to become friends with you!”

“Oh really?”

She nodded, and explained to the man that Melody wanted another 98 liner friend. 

“So your collecting us like Pokemon?”

Melody snorted.

“Well if you put it like that-”

The sound of a stomach rumbling interrupted their conversation.

Melody laughed as Jungwoo looked away in embarrassment.

“I feel like that’s a sign that we should go eat.”

Opting for ramen, the two went to the nearest convenience store and sat down at one of the tables.

“So what’s Kim Jungwoo doing all alone at Han River?” Melody asked, taking a bite of her food.

“I....” He hesitated. He seemed to be contemplating something. She hoped that she didn’t step over any boundaries.

“I needed some time to think,” He started, “About me being in NCT.”

Melody was stunned. She wasn’t sure how to react.

“I’ve always wanted to debut, but being added into an already successful group is stressful...”

Jungwoo didn’t know why he started spilling out his heart like this, but he felt like he could talk to Melody about anything. He could see how Mark became friends with her, she has this calming presence, even though he knew how playful she was.

Melody was silent. 

“I think you’re doing wonderful,” She started, “ You don’t seem like a rookie.”

She didn’t think she was qualified to have this kind of conversation, being a rookie herself.  But she didn’t want Jungwoo to think he was anything but talented.

“You were added into NCT for a reason. You belong there.”

Jungwoo was quiet, and Melody was scared she made a mistake.

“If I knew I was going to have a deep conversation at a convenience store at Han River, I think I would’ve prepared better.”

The two burst into laughter.

“Thanks for the advice, I needed that.” Jungwoo said with a grin. He seemed more relaxed that he was before.

“No problem. Now, this ramen isn’t gonna eat itself so eat before it gets cold!”

Any awkward tension between the two disappeared and they started talking as if they knew each other for years. 

Until they got a call from their leaders, who were wondering where they were.

Collecting 98liner Pokemon wasn’t the answer Sangyeon was looking for.

Shirt

 Melody has a clothing malfunction

Era: 2019, DDD

Melody loved her stylists.

They always made sure she and the rest of the group looked great and that everything matched the concept perfectly. Not to mention, they always let her in to any gossip they heard.

The outfit she was wearing today was amazing and she loved the cropped jersey she was wearing along with the jacket paired with it. The stylists made sure she was comfortable and was in clothing she liked.

So she couldn’t really blame them for her current situation.

The Boyz were currently having one of their fansigns as part of their promotions for D.D.D. It was going well and both the fans and the members were having a fun time together.

It was when they had to perform the title track in front of everyone where it all went downhill. 

It was about halfway through the song when she felt that back of her crop top loosen. Melody was wearing a sports bra undernear for coverage, but that didn’t stop her from panicking internally.

Unfortunately, the strap unclasped and released, causing a very obvious wardrobe malfunction. 

Giving a reassuring smile to the fans in front who noticed and seemed concerned, Melody continued dancing and held the back of her jersey together with one hand.

The thing with boy group choreography is they were a lot. Most were fast, dynamic with no time to breathe, trying to show the best performance to their fans in just one song.

That also, unfortunately, means that there aren’t a lot of opportunities to fix Melody’s outfit.

Considering that the dance break for D.D.D is coming and all the parts where stood to the side for a break were over, things are about to get more difficult.

“Well, might as well commit.” Melody thought, as the floor part of the choreo started.

When the bridge started, she could see the concerned looks on Kevin and Sangyeon’s face as they did their part. In the moment, she could only respond with her eyes and tell them to keep going.

Since the dance break was coming up soon, so Melody was fully ready to just keep going with just one hand when Sangyeon moved towards her.

“Let me help.” He whispered, gesturing for her to turns towards her.

Melody let out a sigh of relief. Since the two of the were in the back during Juyeon’s solo, it was easy for the two of them to hide and fix the outfit malfunction.

“Sangyeon oppa I love you.” Melody whisper yelled as he fixed her shirt. Since there was a short timeframe between the dancing and Sangyeon’s next part, they had to work fast. 

“불꽃처럼 (oh oh oh),” She heard Hyunjae sing before the dancing started getting faster.

Sangyeon had to get in the middle for the spinning choreography and he couldn’t do that when he’s with her.

“I got it.” Sangyeon said, right as Melody felt her shirt tighten. She didn’t even get to say something as they got to their dance position and started the dance break.

Melody moved as if nothing was wrong, focusing on doing the dance break. She did, however, laugh when she made eye contact with the other members, who watched the whole thing happen. It was a bit embarrassing, but at least the situation got handled.

“Unnie are you okay?” A fan yelled out to her once the song ended. Other fans expressed their concerns as well.

“What do you mean, I did everything perfectly!” Melody said, feigning ignorance and pretending nothing happened.

“Melody really is a professional, isn’t she?” Hyunjae said, to which the fans agreed. 

“Of course, I’m an idol!” She said confidently, getting impressed sounds from everyone. 

Melody knew this would probably get attention online, considering the amount of people recording. At least it wasn’t too bad of an incident and that she could joke about it.

“Unnie is the best!” One of her fansites yelled.

“Thank you!!!”

Sangyeon looked at her and winked, making her giggle.

At least she knew she could rely on her members during at situation.

The red wedding

The boyz 12th member

Mae’s masterlist

“Behind Kingdom’s 4th and 5th episodes” 

a/n: Feel free to share your thoughts with me. Requests are open!🧡

Mae watched one by one the cameras turn away from the group, indicating their performance for SF9’s O sole mio was officially done. Looking at the members finally taking big breaths, some huddling around Sangyeon, while others made random comments about what had happened in the middle of it.

“Hey, you did great” Juyeon materialized in front of the girl and pulled her for a hug. And though she knew their tango partner work had gone smoothly, Mae couldn’t share his excitement as she met Sunwoo’s worried expression over Juyeon’s shoulder.

After being heavily encouraged, if not forced, into the introduction/middle dace sections, the girl had hyperfocused into practicing those routines with Juyeon in order for it to turn out nice. That resulted in Mae not working enough on the rapping segment, her and Sunwoo were in charge of. 

And while she hadn’t messed it up in any of the run through. The girl made a noticeable mistake on the actual live version by starting her rap one beat earlier, making the transition from her to Sunwoo way too long and awkward.

“I’m sure it wasn’t that noticeable” Sunwoo approached her while Juyeon was walking away and Mae shook her head, knowing he was saying that only to comfort her.

“They’re going to kill me” Her voice was unsteady by the nervousness.

The creative director had made such a huge deal for Mae to take on the “main” dancer role for once. And with the CEO telling her it would be children’s play to deliver her part. She knew they would be pissed because of a mistake in an area she was known to master.

Feeling like a disappointment, she bit her lips and kept her head low. She started praying that everyone would ignore her teary eyes, while simultaneously thinking about the scolding she might get afterwards.

“Are you actually crying or is it an act” Hyunjae playfully bumped hips with her and gave her a side hug. The girl glared his way, ready to shove him away when he resumed speaking, “It was a dumb mistake. I doubt many people will catch on to it”.

“It’s so stupid” She sniffed annoyed, “I know I could have done it perfectly”

“You did so much more today. That opening was so intense and you killed it. Don’t let one small detail mess up this achievement” Rubbing her arm, Hyunjae guided them into the hallway.

The Mnet staff urged her and Sangyeon to do their interviews first, since they seemed the most shaken up. So, after they were both done, it was just them waiting for the rest of the members to arrive at the dressing room.

“It could have happened to anyone, you know. Don’t stress about it” Sangyeon gave her a sort of convincing smile, making Mae rest her head on his shoulder.

Sighing, she held his hand and asked, “What did you even do? I only saw the boys trying to comfort you”.

“The torch didn’t catch on fire” Also sighing, he rolled his head back.

“At least that wasn’t your fault. It had a fifty-fifty chance of working” The girl tried to console him, but instead he laughed ironically.

“If we’re talking about probabilities, everything has a fifty-fifty chance of going right or wrong”

“I’m not the best at math, but I’m pretty sure that’s wrong. Because, you see, if I had practiced more, the chance of me getting the timing right would have increase. But I’m pretty sure you can’t train fire to light up at the right time, so you were totally up for probability”.

Letting go of her hand, Sangyeon’s frown indicated his concern, “I think we should stop our pity party because you’re starting to sound insane”

☆.。.:・°☆.。.:・°☆.。.:*・°☆

Sitting back at the stage, Mae tried her best to hide her disappointment as the ranking got updated and The Boyz dropped from second place to last. Their scores being the same as before, exposing they had not gotten a single vote from the other groups.

She gave a tight smile to TVXQ’s Changmin, the MC, when he looked over to check their reactions. Then proceeded to look ahead with a blank stare. At that point, Mae just wanted to go home, sit around in her dissatisfaction for some minutes before going back to work as if she wasn’t actually sad.

“It’s okay. We’ll work harder next time” Jacob whispered from her side and she nodded to him.

At the moment that segment finished, all the groups had to go back to their waiting rooms and wait for one final interview round.

Walking silently, Mae sends a couple of waves and smiles to the other groups, occasionally throwing a congratulation when it seemed fit. When she was passing by Stray Kids, Minho casually walked to her side, following her back into the hallway.

“I’m sorry” He humbled apologetic.

Rolling her eyes, Mae scoffed, “Sorry for what? We’re in this shit show together, it’s not like you sent me to war and sat around watching it”.

“She’s not making much sense today, please excuse her” Sangyeon laughed, walking quicker than they were and quickly passing them.

“Also, don’t make it obvious” Bang Chan pointed at them and followed behind the other leader, making both Mae and Minho scoff.

The boy shrugged, still walking slowly, and pulled her closer to the side, so they weren’t in the middle of the path “Well, going back to what I was saying. I’m sorry for not voting for you guys”.

“I don’t expect you to vote for my group just because we’re dating” Mae said matter-of-factly.

Feeling like he was walking on thin ice, Minho frowned, “You don’t?”

“Nah. I wouldn’t vote for us either, not after I blew it up and messed up the rapping”.

“You did?” He made an exaggerated surprised face, making Mae squint. Smiling embarrassed, Minho continued, “I kind of noticed it when it happened, sorry. But this kind of stuff happens-”

“I know. Thanks for the pep talk, now go back to your group” The girl pushed his arm and pointed at the rest of Stray kids, who were now all gathered near the interview room.

“You’re really not mad?” He started walking but turned around to check on her one last time.

“I’m not”  Rolling her eyes, she thought for a second before confessing “I’m mad at myself but whatever”

“Mae” In a scolding tone, he got ready for another lecture, but the girl turned him around and pushed him towards his group.

“You need to go, the staff is staring at us weirdly”

Hook up

Jamie hooks up with an unlikely friend

Maybe a little jealous Kevin in the mix

Jamie’s masterlist

The dorm was empty, empty par the two intoxicated adults rushing through the dorm. Jamie was guiding Chani by his hand towards her bedroom only to be stopped by him in the hallway.

“Are you sure you want this?” He questions, you two were friends afterall, what would this to to that friendship?

“Yes. Please... do you?” She asked. His eyes searched her own before he pulled her in for what would have felt like the millionth kiss that night. (It wasn’t but don’t tell them that) They were in bliss, her arm wrapped over his shoulder, fingers tangled in the short hair, her other hand searching for the door knob.

The Boyz hadn’t planned to come home till after the afterparty, his own group, SF9, there as well so the two had snuck off- well they told their respective bands they’d be heading home... Jamie just never said who with.

Flashback

“You look like you’re having fun.” Jamie laughed as she looked to the male beside her. He jumped.

“Yeah.. afterparties aren’t really my thing.” He shrugged taking a gulp of his drink.

“Me either. Want some company?” The boy raised a brow. “What? I’m not asking you to dance.”

“You are one strange girl Song Jamie.”

“And you are one bored looking boy Kang Chani.” She sent him a wink whilst sipping at her own drink. “I’m not drunk yet so here’s a dumb sober question... how does it feel knowing I’m practically the same height as you?”

“Okay. I’m still taller-“ Chani laughed.

“By one centimetre! Mr 5’10.”

“Yeah yeah miss 5’9.”

After their giggling and jibbing wound down, and they were on their fifth drink each (and beginning to feel the effects of the admittedly strong beverage) they’d decided to chill outside on the balcony, sixth drink in hand.

“What’s this one a mix of?” Jamie questions, lightly bumping her hip into his as he goes to drink it.

“Vodka and guava juice or something. That’s what Hwiyoung said anyway.” Chani answered. “It tastes nice.”

“Was Hwiyoung hooking up with Xena or is that her wishful thinking?”

“Oh no they’ve fucked. Really loud too.”

“You look traumatised.” Jamie laughs, some drink spilling over the sides as the pair move to lean against each other.

“Have any of The Boyz brought people home?”

“Juyeon. I set him up with my friend Hyeji and well they are definitely thankful I did that... I don’t bring people over when anyone is at the dorm. Usually I go to a hotel or their dorm.”

“You’ve hooked up with people?”

“Yes. Why so surprised? Have you?”

“I don’t know just didn’t expect it. Not really. Maybe once but otherwise closest I got to anything was that make out session with Jiah in Sky Castle.”

“You need to let loose dude. Get rid of the stress god knows I do.” She giggles as the boy’s face flushed.

“Got anyone in mind?” He asked faux confidence flowing through him- mostly due to the help from the alcohol. They turned and looked at each other, eyes locked before placing down their now empty glasses and shuffling towards the dark corner of the balcony.

Jamie presses Chani against the wall, her fingers thread into his hair as their lips pressed together. His hands rested on her hips tugging her against him, the thin material of her dress leaving no thought to the imagination for him or his dick. The alcohol definitely helped with that, especially when the two began grinding against each other.

“Want to head to my dorm?” She whispers breathlessly between kisses. She almost whimpers when Chani’s hands grope at the flesh of her ass, a conformation.

“Yes.”

With a haste they fix themselves and split to tell their band’s respectively that they were heading off. Chani told Youngbin he was taking Jamie to her dorm while Jamie told Haknyeon she was getting dropped off at the dorm- he offered to take her himself but she told him to enjoy himself as she’d had enough that evening and needed some time alone- a lie but she certainly doesn’t need Haknyeon home while she’s with Chani.

With a wave the two are off, masks on and taxi driver oblivious. They quickly pay as they arrive and rush towards the door, lips again pressing against the others.

Flashback end

Leading up to now they’d only been making out, their tongues having all the fun exploring each other’s mouths.

Finally, when Jamie is sure she’s found the right room, they collapse on her bed, shoes left at the front door and clothes already messily pulled. Chani manoeuvres himself beneath the girl, him not being as experienced he hoped she’d take charge- and she did. She sat atop of him, her crotch grinding against his own. She leaned over him and pressed kisses to his jaw whilst his hands moved beneath her dress. She sits up lifting herself a little so she can grab the hem of her dress and pull it off. Chani groans beneath her at the sight, her skin smooth and golden, the swells of her breasts pressed by her bra, her underwear sitting comfortably against her skin helping to show the curve of her hips. Once the dress was on the floor his hands glide up her thighs, up her stomach to cup her breasts. She leans into the touch and grinds down against him again, the jeans texture feeling amazing through her thin underwear.

“Did you plan on getting fucked this evening?” Chani asks bravely as he takes in her figure and notably the lacy underwear.

“Nope... but from the looks of it I’ll be fucking you sooo?” She smirks. He laughs and quickly undoes her bra, eager to squeeze the supple mounds without anything in the way.

“Beautiful.” He whispers, even being drunk couldn’t hide the flash of red on her cheeks. She grabbed Chani by is shirt and pulled him up to kiss her again this time undoing his buttons. His shirt met the floor as she hastily threw it away for her hands to begin exploring the expanse of his skin.

Her arms wrapped around his neck, keeping their lips locked even as Chani decided to flip them. Jamie now beneath Chani eagerly wrapped her legs around his waist pulling him down against her. He bucked into her a moan ripping from their throats at the feeling. Quickly she pushed Chani upright having enough of the dry humping and grinding the’d been doing for what felt like hours. Her hands reached for his belt and began undoing it quickly.

Chani let out a breathy laugh at her cutely frustrated face. With ease he undoes the belt and pants shifting himself to pull off the pants and his boxers leaving him bare. Jamie bit her lip as she looked at him before wiggling her hips. He raised a brow while she merely smirked back. His hands trailed up her legs, fingers hooking beneath the band of underwear and slowly brought it down her legs.

His breath caught in his throat at the sight of her bare and open for him.

“Do you have a-“

“I’m clean and on the pill... but I have one if you want it?” Chani gulped.

“It’s okay... doesn’t hurt to check don’t need to get anyone pregnant.” Jamie giggles at the innocent remark.

“Sit on the bed.” She said pushing him to lean against the wall. Jamie picked herself up and brought herself to the floor on her knees. She rest her cheek on his bare thigh. “Can I?”

He gulps and nods quickly as Jamie’s hand wraps around his hardnened length pumping slowly before pressing the head to her lips. Chani moans and throws his head back against the wall. He wasn’t ready for how good she felt around him- her tongue licking and lapping at the hard member. He cursed as she sucked at him, his fingers finding their way to her hair bringing her further down his dick.

Jamie glanced up at him with wide doe like eyes as she took him deeper into her mouth and that nearly sent him over the edge. He let out a shaky breath as his dick touched the back of her throat- she was certainly glad she didn’t have a strong gag reflex right now as she took him. With a pop she let him out of her mouth to kitten lick at the tip, his breathing getting heavier and heavier as he neared finishing. She brought him back into her mouth and bobbed her head a few times before feeling his cock twitch.

“Gonna- mhm- cum... Jamie.” His hips bucked up a little hitting the back of her throat as he came. She swallowed and with another loud pop she removed him from her mouth and began to kiss up his thighs to his stomach and chest, up his neck before connecting their lips again. “My turn.” He growled.

Chani pushed the tall girl till she was laying back on her bed legs spread open, his lips painting reds and purples from her chest to the insides of her thighs. He’d never done this before so he was tentative, a small lick against her core. She shuddered so he assumed he was doing alright. Thank god for the alcohol running through his veins as he braved a flat tongue against her wet heat. Jamie swore.

“Fuck! Chani.” If it weren’t for her hand now gripping at his hair he’d be startled at her thick Australian accent- to be fair she doesn’t get to speak English a lot. Experimenting he wrapped his lips around her clit and sucked, the sound she made was fucking amazing and if the grip on his hair was anything to go by he was doing fantastic. God this was making him hard again. Slowly he brought a hand between them, fingers prodding at her entrance, her legs shaking already. One finger quickly became two and after that Jamie was so so close.

“Fuck. Stop.” She pulled him away. He panicked had he done something wrong. “Fuck me already.”

Oh... he hadn’t done anything wrong Jamie had just grown impatient. She pulled him up, tongue lapping at her own cum on his lips and sighed pulling his body above hers. He was raised over her body, his arms holding his body weight as her hand guided him into her. They both sighed.

A slow thrust helped Jamie accumulate to his size before asking him to move faster. A curse left her lips again, slightly louder this time as he sped up. His hips began to slap against her own pulling himself almost all the way out before fucking back into her to his hilt. She cried out her body spawning beneath him as an orgasm washed over her.

“Keep.. going. Don’t stop fuck fuck.” He pulled out and had her roll onto her belly pulling her up so her hips were lined with his and his stomach pressed to her back. He fucked into her harder, slapping sounds emanated from all corners from the room accompanied by high pitched moans and gravelly groans. Without thinking Chani pulled Jamie up by her hair, hips still rocking into her quickly, their bodies pressed closer together now as they sloppily kissed. Jamie’s hands struggled to find something to hold swinging backwards to grasp onto Chani’s thighs.

More curses, groans and whimpers joined the air along with the smell of sweat and sex. Chani’s thrusts had somehow managed to get harder making Jamie’s body shake. Again the switched positions settling so Jamie was on top and spinning so that they were facing each other. Their lips crashing and biting and sucking as Jamie rocked her hips against the male beneath her. Chani bucked upwards, a sign that he was close whilst she clenched around him. A guttural moan ripping from their throats as they both came, bodies shaking and weak from the orgasm. After riding out their high, with help from Chani rocking her back and forth she fell forward onto him, panting and laughing.

“Why are you laughing?”

“That was some of the best sex I’d had in so long. You were really fucking good- for a friend.” At that he snorted.

“I’ll take that with pride good friend.” He helped her move so he was no longer in her. She hissed at the feeling and plopped into his arms. He hugged her before noticing the time.

“Shit we went for two hours?” He laughed. Jamie grinned and pushed him away nodding for him to get dressed. “Need help cleaning up?”

“No I’m okay just pass the wipes on the dresser.” She thanks him as he does and proceeds to clean herself up as he watches. She grabs her underwear and pyjamas and throws them on. “Get dressed we don’t have time for another round.”

Chani blushes and quickly turns away pulling on his pants (and underwear) and quickly doing up his belt. “Where’s my shirt?”

“With my dress near the other beds... by the way my lipstick looks really fucking good on you.” She smirks staring him down.

“Calm down we don’t have time for another round.” He jokes looking her up and down. Jamie’s lipstick was smeared about her mouth- well she was cleaning it off with a spare wipe so it was fine for now. Jamie laughed at him, his hair was a mess tugged in all directions and his shirt hastily buttoned. Jamie couldn’t complain her own hair was a mess in all directions as well.

Chani picked up his phone to see a missed call and a bunch of missed texts.

“I’m either in a lot of trouble or going to get horribly teased... apparently my manager has arrived to pick me up how nice.” Jamie snorts finally sobering up along with Chani.

“We fucked for a while I guess.” Some shifting outside the door startled them and a bang sounded on the door.

“Jamie are you done? And whoever is in there with you?” Chani and Jamie laughed at Chanhee’s attempt to be angry, his drunken slur really didn’t help them feel intimidated. She wobbled a little as she walked the unkempt looking boy to the door.

“Yes Chanhee we are done why want a go yourself?” She said swinging open the door.. to say the boy was unimpressed was accurate. Eric looked disgusted along with Hyunjae who had sauntered passed as she opened the door. “How long you been home?”

“Long enough to head most of whatever you two were doing.” Eric gagged.

Chani apologied and made his way to the front door, Jamie following to let him out... well this was awkward pretty much everyone was in the living room sitting like disappointed parents.

“Ah I’ll be going now.” Chani said and she merely nodded and said goodbye to him as he shut the door behind him.

Beat

The boyz weren’t really in the mood for the rest of the party and had decided to head home... they really wish they didn’t, a certain girl’s roommates specifically.

“Is Jamie... having sex with someone?” Chanhee grimaced at the thought, and almost gagged at the sound that came from the room a moment later. “She is. Ew yuck.”

While everyone was at different stages of disgust and carelessness Kevin was.. notably and confusingly angry. He didn’t know why, those watching his face shift to one of anger were also confused. The Boyz opted to stay in the living room totally not to glare at whoever left Jamie’s room. When all the sound stopped Chanhee and Eric stood up half-hazardly to see if it was over while Hyunjae decided he needed a shower- who knows why he needed to announce that (hint: it was the alcohol).

Kang Chani was who left the room with Jamie... he looked understandably uncomfortable with the stares from the large boy group and made his quick goodbyes.

‘Maybe he wasn’t that good’

That’s likely from the sounds she was making..’

‘Bet I could have been better.’

‘Why does he look like he got dressed because he was caught fucking her-‘

‘Wait? I could have been better?’

If you asked Kevin he would blame the alcohol because his thoughts were a wreck... no way could he imagine himself in Kang Chani’s shoes fucking her, making love to her, listening to those noises only he should have been having her make. FUCK he was a mess and wasn’t thinking clearly, he needed a shower as soon as Hyunjae was out.

“Soooo. How was the party?” Jamie asked. Her feigned innocence seemed to make Kevin angrier.

“Good. How was the sex.” Sunwoo asked.

“Better than with you.”

“I thought we’d never speak of that.” He snickered.

“Okay ignoring that bombshell for a moment..” Kevin started, rage clearly in his voice. Jamie stepped back- it was insanely rare Kevin got angry so she was really worried. “You left the party just to fuck someone.”

“What’s wrong with that?” Jamie snapped back. Kevin rolled his eyes. “Dude I have needs that need to be met and we were drunk so we had sex isn’t going to change anything between us.”

“It’s not? What about the group dynamics. You two are friends what if the media caught you two of the way here? Did you make out in the taxi on the way here?”

“Calm the fuck down Kev.”

“Language Jamie.” Sangyeon intercepted. Jacob motioned for him to shut up.

“I can sleep with whoever I wish. I wasn’t forced too and he wasn’t either. For a fact neither has anyone I have slept with so calm the fuck down. Why are you so upset? I get horny to sorry to say.”

Kevin’s jaw clenched. He really didn’t know why he was so angry.. not at all.

“Sorry... I guess the alcohol got to me tonight... just be safe.” He said quietly walking off towards the bathroom. Jamie watched confused as he walked off seemingly in a daze.

Beat

“Soo you and Sunwoo have fucked?”

“Please shut up Juyeon.”

“Sorry just wanted to lift the tension.”

— IDENTITY FILM: GENERATION Z

the camera pans to kairo in a room with scattered flowers on the floor. there is a decorated wall behind him that is covered with both real and painted flowers.

kairo starts speaking as he starts playing with the flowers at first, smiling

“i’m very known to be charismatic on stage and always doing the most”

“but there’s times where i feel like i have to put on a persona everytime a camera shines on me”

suddenly, he crushes the handful of flowers in his hand, showing that they’re fake. the camera quickly zooms in on his face as he does this and his smile is gone

“i feel like i always have to show that hot, charismatic personality. but i just want to be comfortable with showing who i really am and how sometimes, that on-stage persona isn’t the real me”

the scene then focuses on kairo laying in the pile of dried flowers as he stares into the camera

“i mean, people may know kairo, but do they know the true daehyun?”

he looks into the camera as the flowers on the wall are now gloomy and dead, the flowers drooping down as more dried petals fall from above him like light rain

KAIRO doesn’t always feel like himself
