Koushi made it easy to fall in love with his warm smile, his genuine kindness and the mischievous side he only showed to you once he knew you were on the same wavelength. When you moved to Japan to start your new job, you were determined to focus. Focus on learning the language and culture and focus on the kids under your care. Since your Japanese was rudimentary at best the head of the kindergarten thought it wise to keep you in the administration part of the job to acclimate before letting you roam around the children. But Koushi made the effort to get to know you from day one. You couldn’t stop throwing glances at the handsome man leaning leisurely against the counter with the coffee maker, as he tried his best to make you feel welcome with slow and simple Japanese sentences as well as surprisingly good English. His strong accent was immediately endearing and you found your eyes following him when he left the room to get back to his class.

He had caught up to you on that Friday of your first work week, brushed a few of spring’s cherry blossom petals out of his hair like some dreamy anime character and asked if he could maybe offer his help with improving your Japanese. The best method, he concluded, would be by going out after school for a coffee. The relaxed atmosphere of a coffee shop always helped him think, he added with a grin.

“That sounds a lot like a date.”, you had joked and felt your cheeks growing hot at the brazen statement. Of course, you knew better than to think that a Japanese man would be that forward.

“Then you would be right.”, he had said and given you one of his smiles that already had you weak in the knees.

The dates quickly became more frequent. He would walk you home afterwards and you’d text until late in the night - all in the name of teaching, of course. But after a month of having him as your private tutor he finally worked up the courage to confess and you were finally his.

__________________

“Koushi? You know what I just realized?“, you asked one night. Your head was in his lap as you watched TV at his place. The midsummer heat was too relentless, even this late, to allow any outside activities so you two had decided to stay in for the day and enjoy the fickle luxury of his temperamental air conditioning. He continued to comb his fingers through your hair.

“Hm? What‘s that, darling?“

“How does one learn dirty talk in a different language?“

He choked on his glass of water.

“Where did that come from?“, he coughed.

You sat up and looked at him.

“I was just thinking about the other night. I‘m guessing you didn‘t learn those things in English class.“, you grinned, “So where did you pick it up?“

“Uhm…“ He avoided your eyes and chuckled nervously.

“An old girlfriend?“, you asked, trying not to sound too jealous.

He quickly shook his head.

“Hmm, porn?“

When he didn‘t say anything you figured you hit the nail on the head.

“Baby, you don‘t have to be embarrassed for watching porn. But I‘m wondering, would you like it if I learned some in Japanese?“

You saw his Adam's apple bob up and down in his throat as he swallowed.

“I mean… I would definitely not say No to that.“, he said slowly, his usual grin returning.

Excited that your idea was a good one you got off the couch and went over to your bag to retrieve your tablet.

“Alright. I‘ll go study then!“, and you made to head towards his bedroom.

“Honey!“, he laughed and jumped off the couch, “You don‘t have to watch that.“

“But I want to.“, you pouted, then added, “Learn, I mean.“

He thought for a moment, then a rather familiar glint shone in his eyes and he took your hand.

“I have a better idea.“

You drew the thin bedsheet closer to you to hide your naked figure as you watched him shed his shirt and sweats, leaving him only in his boxers - the cute ones with the fish-print.

He joined you on the bed, laying next to you propped up on his elbow. You could see he was already half hard and you bit your lips at the thought of - “Hey, sweetheart, my eyes are up here.“, he chuckled.

“Yes, sensei.“, you said automatically.

“Now, let‘s start with an easy one. Repeat after me.“

“Oh, I know this one!“, you called with a beam.

“Yeah?“, he nuzzled against your arm, “And what did it mean?“

You readily turned your head to one side to give him free access to your neck.

“Very good.“, he said and leaned in to brush his lips against the sensitive skin. The kisses quickly became hot and opened mouthed and you squeezed your plush thighs together under the blanket, feeling like you would drip on his bed at any moment.

“Then, let‘s try something a bit more advanced.“, he said after feeling like he had kissed your neck enough for the lesson. The next phrase was a lot more difficult.

“No idea.“, you admitted.

“Then just repeat it and see what happens.“, he grinned, raising his brow.

You squinted playfully. “What if you‘re teaching me unspeakable things?“

“Don‘t worry, sweetheart. I‘ll only teach you things I already know you love.“

So you repeated the phrase. He made you say it twice.

With gentle but deliberate movements he brushed the blanket out of your hands and guided you onto your back. He hovered for a moment above you, asking you to repeat the words one more time, then dipped his head lower to run his tongue over your breasts. With his tip he circled your pert nipples before taking them into his mouth, humming quietly. He loved this just as much as you. His hand reached up to cup your other breast, bringing the second nipple closer to him so it wouldn‘t feel left out and he spent the next few minutes driving you insane between soft squeezes and hard sucks, nibbling on your soft flesh every now and then. You felt his hard cock rub against your thigh through his boxers.

When you were close to your first orgasm he stopped and laughed at your indignant whine.

You were hesitant to repeat the next phrase. What if it was more edging? You weren‘t sure you could take any tonight, the sheets beneath you already felt soaked.

“Well?“, he asked, waiting for you to say the new words.

“I understood “please“ but the rest, no idea. So…“

Once the phrase left your lips, your boyfriend scooted lower on the bed, pushing the rest of the pesky blanket out of the way. He groaned when he grabbed at your pudgy tummy. You were nothing short of a goddess to him and he had spent many nights before happily worshiping every inch of your ravishingly plump body.

He trailed kisses along your stomach and thighs before settling between them. You were so very wet for him he could barely control himself. The sight and smell alone had him almost cum untouched.

“One more time, darling. Repetition is the best way to learn.“, he said softly, running his tongue over your inner thighs.

Once you finished the phrase he grinned. “So polite…“ And he dove between your legs.

“Ah, Koushi… don‘t stop… nngh… more…“, you panted, reaching down to grab his hair. He moaned into your pussy and wrapped his arms around your thighs to pull you against him, to taste more of you. You were so close from his earlier teasing that it only took a few slurps and flicks of his tongue until you unraveled. Looking up at you he licked his lips, “Thank you for the meal, sweetheart. - Have some water before we continue.“, he straightened and sat back on his heels, the large imprint in his boxers was completely undeniable now. You rolled over to grab a bottle from the nightstand and stayed laying on your tummy as you took small sips, your head still spinning.

“You ready for more?“, he asked. His voice sounded shallow like he was trying to catch his breath. You nodded, then squeaked when his hands grabbed at your waist and pulled you backwards towards him so that you were on your hands and knees, grinding against him.

You were strongly hoping that the next sentence was supposed to be mean something along the lines of “Please dear god, just fuck me. I can‘t take it anymore, I need you inside me. Please just fuck me, please.“, but it was too short.

Instead you felt his hand come down on the right cheek of your ass.

“Ah, Koushi…“, you whined, then repeated the sentence. He landed another soft spank on your flesh, making sure to massage it immediately after impact.

Sweat trickled down your back and Koushi himself brushed wet strands of hair out of his face that clung to his forehead.

“Harder…“, you mumbled into his pillow.

He smirked and leaned forward, pressing his chest and stomach flush against your back. He reached around to grab at your breasts and gave your ass another quick hit, rubbing the palm of his hand greedily against your sinnfully soft flesh.

You turned your head to meet his lips. “You‘re such a fast learner, darling.“

a/n: this particular Suga story plot has been simmering and lurking in my brain for so long. Thank you for giving me a request I could use this for! I hope you liked it! 🌟

Every day is a work day

The chores of the day. Puppywalking the broken dog (carefully). Feed chickens. Kitchen cleanup. Chemistry tutoring c=wavelength x frequency hurrah! Also Energy and photons and electrons. 10^-34 is just a ridiculous number, and I want no parts of it. How many nanometers in a meter? And is that a wavelength we can see, or not?

Assisting with the English essay by typing while K talked; she gets a lot more done if she can verbalize it instead of typing herself. I bet nobody else in her class will be writing about OSHA certifications for residential electric. Worked on the V and Y quilt squares. The Yak is going to look amazing once I get the fabric frayed out to look like a heavy coat of fluff. What does an x-ray tetra look like? Hmm.

Dog Drama (woeful pup has never had any love, ever). Meet with a friend to look at the elderly Singer I wanted to sell. Haul heavy-ass Singer down the crooked stairs and out to his van. It will look great sitting in his very historical woodworking studio. Plant sixty crocus bulbs with K. (there are 30 more to plant. But I've been told you can never have too many crocus bulbs.)

Time to make dinner. Don't want to . . but I do want to eat.

As much as Beomgyu and Yumi had been exchanging snarky and witty bantering for most of their friendship, never had he had someone to match him intellectually at the same level. Of course, it’s different with the imbeciles and how they throw mindless crap as boys (I’m looking at you, Yeonjun).

With Yumi, it always felt different. They walk at the same pace, and he feels they resonate on the same wavelength. He confirms she reciprocates the amused eye rolls she throws despite being sharp with her words at him. But she’s also soft on the edges. Deep in her heart, she’s a big softie, like a darn Hufflepuff she is.

Even how nice and radiating she can be to know when and how to say the right thing at the right instances.

As simple as it is, it's as if he had been charmed by her smile since the beginning when they had crossed paths one fine day in a Charms joint class between the Puffs and Lions.

From how gradually she grew up with him from being this shy girl to a more, clever partner for their duo. It has been an interesting process to be part of her development. Though, for Beomgyu, she will always be the soft and shy girl he came to love.

Or is it that I haven't matured yet to be at the same pace as her?

Is it wrong to think this way as if I do not accept the changes in Yumi? But that’s not it…

He grows uncertain of himself.

But all Beomgyu knows is that he doesn't want to lose Yumi, he really, really likes her.

“How about start by being nice to her?” Taehyun states the obvious, but it added a form of restitute with his Ravenclaw charm, that you can’t blatantly deny that the others may be bypassing the dumb basics.

Yeonjun nods along. Obviously still preoccupied with the meal in front of him while observing the group at the table.

It’s as if they had gathered and combined the same brain cell to work their gears.

Like, no shit, Sherlock.

Beomgyu had to hold back an eye roll at the common sense. As if he didn’t already think of that, and what in Merlin’s realm are they thinking I am doing?

“But I am nice to her,” he says with emphasis, as Beomgyu knows he definitely needs it.

Just by the looks of Kai and company at his declaration, they say otherwise.

“Yeah, if you consider being nice to her as ‘pranks and giggles’.” Soobin almost sneers.

Yeonjun on the other hand, full-on sneers.

“Even the tantamount teasing of getting on her nerves.” Yeonjun picks apart the food on his plate with his fork.

“Yeah, that's a way to make someone mark in your mind 24/7,” Kai says that with a soft blow. He can’t help but let out that teasing despite flipping over his Potions book.

“And the endless bantering...” Soobin rolls his eyes, he can’t even begin how much he gets sandwiched between the two as they get on… and on, and on… And to think that this is coming from him, Choi Soobin, the ultimate yapper who can withstand any bantering.

Taehyun could only wince.

“No wonder she still sees you being that 2nd-year doofus,” Taehyun says with disbelief, shaking head.

“Those methods won't make her want to kiss you, man.” Soobin prompts, blunt as ever. But he was really getting sick of the two, the childish displays just translated to two people just eager to make out or something. Aish.

Even on how graphic Beomgyu can be at times with telling Soobin about his mushy feelings, (Man, why do I have to be the one to take it?!), just EWW! YUCK! Man, stop being sappy and just get on it, will ya?!

As if frozen in place while they collectively stare at each other as the usual boisterous Choi Beomgyu is now quiet in their presence. He’s down bad.

Man….

The shock factor just added to how ridiculous this is.

Yeonjun belts out an insult in disgust. “Pabo, Beomgyu!”

The Gryffindor could only take the blow of his friend’s smack on his shoulder. Beomgyu knows to himself that what he's doing is the bare minimum at its finest.

So how does he get Yumi to see him differently?

He could've done this way before Jaemin had his shots, dammit. It's bad enough he's comparing himself to the point of ruminating. He dug himself into this hole.

Beomgyu got out of his trance as he felt the soft hands of Yumi on his. He almost melts at her gaze. "Got your Potions homework figured out already, Beomi?"

The open book was a great cover up at him mindlessly staring down in regret.

"Why, you need help with yours?" he asks.

The others roll their eyes. Things would not progress if they kept it like this, how it usually does. How can they change her perspective of him as best friends if they keep it this way?

Taehyun suggests getting them alone together, with a glance, Kai and the others quickly catch on. Even Yeonjun surprisingly nudging him in the right direction, even if it meant nudging them literally closer to one another.

A tinge of pink on Beomgyu's ears as both their shoulders bumped, Yumi just met eyes with him in surprise.

Aish, is he some kid with a crush to act this way or something?

Yeah...

Dang it.

“We can take this to someplace more quieter, these guys are obnoxious as fuck.” Beomgyu casually rolls his eyes at them.

“Y-yah!” Soobin with a mouthful, attempts to retort. But before he has the opportunity, Beomgyu scurries away by getting Yumi's hand and drags her somewhere.

-

“Honestly I don't know, I already got my dress in mind, hopefully it matches the tie with my partner, whoever... argh— sorry, this is corny to even plan out advance up to that point.” Yumi covers her face, frantically lining up the papers laid out. Maybe because of how the conversation died down on the homework, her attention got riled up on the shift of atmosphere as they wrapped it up.

“So easy to say, you're excited?” Beomgyu smirks, teasingly bumping his shoulder with hers.

Yumi is blushing, maybe because this is like another Yule Ball, version 2.0 that the students had come up with? It’s fairly a big event other than Quidditch finals, maybe as to why it got her so wrapped up about it? No use rationalizing it.

“Heck, I don't even know who I'm going with...”

So that was the big issue for her huh?

“Hopefully I can ease that up?” he perks. Ahhh... a flurry of wariness bubbled in Beogmyu's stomach.

Silence... it rang almost hovering over them for too long. It didn’t help with them almost centimeters away from touching each other’s fingers... Beomgyu takes a deep breath, opposite to Yumi who barely had the thought of breathing whatsoever.

Beomgyu breaks the silence.

“Did anyone ask you out already? How about that Slytherin?”

Man, why did I have to go there...

“Jaemin, yeah... he did ask me.” Yumi sheepishly plays with her fingers, her lap is threatened to be damp any second now of how her nervous sweats are seeping into her hands. Breathe…

Beomgyu observes her. “You're going with him?”

“Not quite sure...”

“Hmmm?” He hums letting it stay on his lips for a moment longer. “Why so?”

Yumi shrugs.

Almost passive, she diverts the topic. “How about you? Someone asked you to go with them as your date, Beomi?”

“Nah... turned them down.” He’s quick to dismiss it, as nothing interests him but the one beside him. Does she know?

“So, you are still Mr. Popular huh?”

Seeing her attempts to lighten the atmosphere, Beomgyu laughs softly. But the dreading feet stomping his chest is still not quite simmering down.

“Actually…”

He starts venting, different from their usual banter, although this is not a rare instance between the two.

Of course, he kept the vital details in check.

Mostly it's how worried Beogmyu is all this time, especially the Year End Party date. Like doing every means to not let anyone else take Yumi. Most especially keeping an eye on Jaemin.

But it all went down the drain.

Because he wants everything but for them to go together, especially as they promised and Beomgyu already planned this years ahead.

Like what else is he here for? Obviously, he has intentions… And he's not quite sure if Yumi is well aware of this, and how she's just letting him in in her life further.

“Huh? What do you take me for, Beomi? And didn't we promise to go together at any special events ever since?”

Like it’s obvious they’re a package, it wouldn’t be Lee Yumi if not with Choi Beomgyu. The Badger and the Lion.

Beomgyu blinks in disbelief.

“Y-yeah, yeah. Right.”

She had no choice but to blurt out some of the heaviness she had been feeling in her chest. Her hunches. Yumi had her brows knitted together at him.

“Pabo-yah. You're acting really weird lately… like ever since Jaemin showed up.” She had to chuckle at what she was saying right now. “Are you jealous or something?”

That pushed a trigger somehow, it came off as a joke, but Yumi was taken aback at his seriousness.

When silence rang between them, she broke the moment.

“Beomgyu…? I'm not gonna leave you that easily.” She leans close to him, putting a hand on his shoulder. “We're best friends, right?”

A sigh almost tears the same rift between them with the silence he was giving her.

“Sometimes, I wish we weren't…”

Yumi stared at him blankly, her heart sank as she wallowed over his words… “What do you mean?”

“I know I have always been blatant about this, how much I like you. For years… since.”

His eyes are as direct as his words to her. But she remained jaded.

“Yeah, I like you too, we're best of fri—"

“No, don't say it.” He cuts her off, holding himself back further. Beomgyu just sighs, his shoulders slumping as prominent on the shift of his mood since those lines are drawn. “I know… But I guess you don't know enough.”

“Beomgyu…”

Loss for words, still not quite comprehending any of this.

Beomgyu leans in, and Yumi shudders as he closes the proximity between them.

She shut her eyes at the blow… expecting entirely different that might break her, or something that might set her off differently. His words… or his lips— She's quite bewildered at herself as well really.

She only felt this with Jaemin, so how is it now… No, I’m with Beomgyu right now, don’t think of him…

Feeling nothing of sorts at her prediction… Yumi opened her eyes as he felt Beomgyu by her ear.

“I just… don't wanna lose you.” That's all that he's able to muster out but it encapsulates the feelings in his chest. “You're special to me, you know that right, Yumi?”

Beomgyu is quite obvious already with Yumi, but she's not taking it seriously.

“You gave a fright there, I like you very much as to why I keep you close. And dumbass, I told you I won't be going anywhere.” She pulled him close to an embrace, most likely to conceal the traces of worry on her face. But the loud thumping on her chest cannot hide her heart's pleas.

This does not address the fact that she’s setting aside some of her fears, as deep down, the least that she wants is to lose her best friend in the whole wide world.

Beomgyu is who she's most comfortable with.

But things have been taking a shift lately, and it's scaring her quite frankly.

“I don't know… it's just, it's always had been us. It's weird, odd… that if I suddenly went with someone else...” Yumi is fumbling over her words and Beomgyu can't help but let her be. To think that was her worry all this time. It really made him torn.

Between growing up and letting her be…

“That's your choice though, I can't stop you,” Beomgyu says, he looks at her with his distant eyes. “Do you want to go out with him instead?”

“Can I really?”

That slight glimmer in her eyes… He had to tear himself away from that black hole effect of hers. Also to hide his dampening eyes.

“Psh… Who am I your parent? I have no means to control you, Yumi.”

Yumi beamed widely, and Beomgyu swore it ultimately tore a canyon in between them despite hugging closely like this, but… if it meant to see her smile brightly like that.

Even if it weren't because of me…

Idiot Beomgyu indeed.

SOUL EATER AU bonus episode 3: “the team leader”

check out the masterpost here!

welcome to the third bonus episode: “the team leader”. ‘bonus episodes’ are posts related to the typical soul eater au, but outside of the typical format. because xavier technically doesn’t have a consistent listener of his own and is a unique sort of character, he gets his own post.

༺♰༻

soul type: meister strongest meister ability: equal level - each meister common ability is on an equal level with this meister. they hold no specific strongest ability from soul perception, soul resonance, or wavelength control.

xavier wasn't only a team leader during his life, but he also became a tutor. for those who didn't feel as though they fitted in immediately, he helped who he could recognise their potential, and figure out what they could do not only as an empowered person but also as a weapon or meister.

xavier's teammates were everything to him. it was a family before it was a friendship. huxley would recount that, whenever they did something outside of practice or games, xavier would always be the one to encourage and empower people's needs and desires in a way that felt as though he'd been made for a leadership role.

when the games came around there was an expectation of him. he'd do something incredible, that was certain- but even if he didn't, he knew that the people behind him would warmly push him forward and accept his worth even if it weren't to be shown to the public.

after his death, huxley visited the memorial that'd been put up by the team often. he'd bring his friends, his family, and his people with him to look at the several pictures and flowers and whatever else were left in his memory.

even though xavier was the spitting image of a person who was headstrong and in a position of trust, it was fact that he’d never wielded a weapon during his lifetime. it was something that a lot of people had expected him to have experience in, and yet he held none. huxley wonders if it was because of that expectation that he didn't want to, or purely because he held no interest in it.

no matter the answer, nobody cared for semantics. all that remained was a sense of loss and love for someone who gave them nothing more than support and care.

༺♰༻

Any HR with gothic vibes you would recommend?

Yes!

Anne Stuart is known for writing darker, more gothic-y historicals. I've only read A Rose at Midnight so far, but I know her Rohan series is recommended for this a lot. I loved A Rose at Midnight. It's set shortly after the French Revolution (set in England, largely) and the heroine literally begins the book wanting to kill the hero. She does poison him! He just survives lmao. But yeah, the beef is real, it's pretty dark (TW for noncon, dubcon, forced sex work, general Reign of Terror violence) and there's a general sense of violence and mystery and secrets.

Elizabeth Hoyt plays with the Gothic a lot. I'd recommend:

The Raven Prince. Really a sexy Jane Eyre, the heroine is the hero's secretary and ends up putting on a mask and pretending to be a sex worker at a brothel he frequents in order to sleep with him. (To be very fair to her, he was only visiting the brothel because he was avoiding their intense sexual tension.) But yeah, he sweeping around his manor, he's doing the high drama. it's GREAT.

The Leopard Prince. This is more "we're out on the moors, the natural world is here, the are murders and mysterious sheep kilings" Gothic. The heroine inherits an estate and moves there, only to begin an affair with her gruff steward, who's basically on the brink of being framed for murder. It's HOOOOOT.

All of the Dolphin Sex Cult books in Maiden Lane kinda have this vibe, but TW because the cult is heavily involved in pedophilia. The heroes and heroines are trying to stop it. These books consist of:

Duke of Sin. Insane villainous hero, hides in his walls watching the heroine (who's his housekeeper and has been planted in his house in order to steal blackmail material he owns from him) for like... 3-4 months. She doesn't even know he's there. He's truly wild. But he is trying to... avenge his sister... because their father was in the Dolphin Sex Cult? It's complex.

Duke of Pleasure. In this one, the hero is a king's bastard, actively trying to take down the Dolphin Sex Cult. The heroine is a street urchin who's often dressed as a boy in order to stay safe; she's also a vigilante. He recruits her to help him, while also teaching her to pass as a lady. This one involves the infamous "ummmm people are about to catch us, quick suck my dick for cover" and she just doesn't stop when the people go away and swallows.

Duke of Desire. This one is really intense and dark. The hero kidnaps the heroine to prevent her from falling prey to the villains, and forces her to marry him for the same reasons. She's like "I can deal with this, but I want a baby" which he refuses because he has a lot of sexual trauma related to the cult (TW for childhood SA).

The Ghost of St. Giles arc in Maiden Lane is also on that wavelength--it's all about this masked vigilante who skulks the night. Turns out the identity is shared by several different guys!

Thief of Shadows. The Winter Makepeace book. Our hero is a schoolmaster/orphanage master guy, and he runs around as the Ghost, while by day a rich society widow tutors him on how to solicit donations from patrons and do polite society right. Said widow catches on to his game, and they begin this intense passionate secret affair while he's also dealing with Ghost stuff.

Lord of Darkness. The next Ghost is a quiet widower who married again a few years ago in order to save a young woman he barely knew from ruin when she got pregnant out of wedlock and her lover died before they could make it legal. She miscarried right after the wedding, and wants a baby now, so she's back in town wanting to finally consummate the marriage. He agrees, but he's withholding the Secret while they try for a baby.

Duke of Midnight. Georgian Batman with heavy Gothic tones. Our hero is a tortured duke whose parents were killed in front of him, and ever since he's desired REVENGE. The heroine is a lady's companion with a dark past who's trying to regain her former station and free her imprisoned brother, and she catches on to his vigilante activities and is like "mmm you're gonna help me or I'm gonna tell everyone thaaanks".

If you want something on the kinkier side, Sierra Simone's Ivy Leavold trilogy (which must be read in order) is a kinky Jane Eyre, basically, with very Gothic overtones. Sierra looooves the Gothic. It's super hot and really fun.

Scarlett Peckham's The Duke I Tempted has a Gothic "I married a mysterious man and he has secrets I must discover" vibe. Of course, his secret is that he's submissive in bed, but there are other things too! The Earl I Ruined has similar vibes, but less so.

COLLEGE IS GOING TO BE AMAZING

That's what yn religously chanted to herself as she checked one more time in her bedroom for things she possibly needed in her bag.

Phone? She was holding it.

Charger? It was stuffed in the right pocket of her bag, concealed under the metal zipper.

Pencil case? She shook her bag hard until she heard the familiar keyring attached to the zipper, tingle in her ears. She definitely had it- but did she pack 2 pens? Did she even pack a pencil?

"Yn, are you going to stand there like a statue all day?" Her roommate asked from the hallway.

"Shut up, Yunjin, I'm just making sure I'm not forgetting anything!" Yn yells back as she walked to the full-length mirror, checking if her outfit was enough to stand out, but also to blend in. She figured the black cargo pants with the black cardigan was enough to match with her white top.

Tobe honest, it was a little more basic than she wanted it to be.

And the hair? It was a simple ponytail with her bangs covering just the right amount of forehead. If anything, yn despised the idea of her exposed forehead. The idea of bangs hid that insecurity under its wing.

"Yunjin, you sure you're not gonna come with me?"

The girl loudly scoffed from where she was, appearing leisurely at their bedroom door with her white pyjamas and bunny slippers. Yn cringed at her lack of effort for the first day of college.

Though, she realised quickly when she met Yunjin, that they were quite different; she and yn travelled at different wavelengths of light, but together, they made one beautiful colour.

"Uhm, you must be crazy if you think I'm going to go early. I could fit in another episode of that Inferno show."

"You and your shitty Netflix shows," Yn grumbled, poking her tongue out at her friend before she returned one to her. Though, as they passed by each other, they sent a small smile and yn patted her shoulder.

"I'll save you a seat. Just don't be late."

"You can count on it!"

. . .

She knew Yoreun University could be fancy, but seeing the shiny walls, tall windows, and drastic paintings made her eyes run to every corner.

Her reflection stared right back at her when she walked up to one of the glass windows; it was as if they installed new glass just before the new students came.

Roaming around her were bold students, all bustling with productivity to get to their first classes. She guessed they were older, and had climbed their way to being the seniors of the school. Yn would love to see if she had that motivation to climb to that stage.

Gripping on a single strap of her backpack, she quickly made her way to the hall for registration, and to find her own personal tutor.

Upon entering the hall, it was scarce with people, their figures stuck to nearby chairs and tables. As she stepped down, she took a breath, feeling some relief breathe into her blood.

The whole university routine was going quite smoothly. She hadn't landed herself in some kind of pit of embarrassment- which she was grateful for.

The seniors at the front caught her attention as they waved at her. A boy and a girl. Yn gave a small wave back and made her way to the table.

She took the time for her gaze to wander around the room to find a boy staring at her. He was stunning to say the least. Black hair with a the most prettiest, enchanting eyes.

Apprehension struck her chest, not knowing why she had stared down a boy on the first day. Though, she looked away, approaching the seniors as they welcomed her with cheery voices.

They gave her the timetable and login for the online website and there, she could find more lessons and events planned for the school year.

When she was done talking to the lovely seniors, the boy was gone like the wind. Yn shrugged, blaming herself when she kind of wanted to look at his appearance again.

Gosh, those pretty eyes, she thought.

In a second, she slapped her cheek lightly, scolding herself for lingering on a boy on the first day- heck, the first hour. She looked at her timetable.

"English Literature on the first day?" she muttered to herself. Ever since high school, Yunjin and her, adored literature; the flow of the words and the strokes of the idyllic sentences left both of them in awe, and wanting to get more of the deeper side of it.

Yunjin already spoke English so, choosing the subject was an obvious path she knew. But yn did not know that much English until she met her American friend. That's when she started her journey of becoming one of the best English speakers in her class along with Yunjin.

The classes felt like sticking her feet in quicksand and struggling to get them out to walk to your destination. Over time, she learned a lot of strategies to avoid the same mistakes- then, she was in the top 10.

And being able to take the class together in university was like a dream- a very splendid dream.

The English Literature classroom was already filled with a little amount of people scattered over the rows of navy seats and beige desks. The lecture hall stretched for ages.

It was incredible.

Overall, it was quiet and cosy so, she walked up the stairs, towards the back and let her hand randomly touch a seat.

Tilting her head, she found the seat suitable and sat down, putting her black bag on the next seat to save it for Yunjin. That is, if she came on time.

"Where the fvck is this girl?" she whispered to herself, swiping her fingers lightly through her bangs. She stared at the time on her phone.

9.30 am.

Class started at 10 am. To ease her boredom, she started to figure out the website and app for school, putting in her password and username until she finally completed everything. Yn hunched over her desk, grabbing one of her loose hairs and twirling it around her finger.

9.50 am.

There was still more time?

Yn internally groaned, sliding off the desk until she rested against the seat. The classroom had filled with more people- some foreign- as it become slightly louder as well.

"Might as well waste some time."

Yn stood, zipping her backpack and leaving it firmly on her place. She had to trust enough that no one would steal her bag and her very much designated spot.

Yn decided to go to the bathroom before the lecture trapped her in class.

Now that she walked down the halls, more people gathered- though she couldn't tell if they were new students or old ones. She shrugged and continued on.

Yn wasted her time in the shockingly beautiful bathrooms until she did her business. She made a mental note to come back with Yunjin for photos.

Lighting- immaculate.

Yn hurried herself out of the bathroom, taking out her phone to check the time. She almost gasped when it was 9.56, immediately going onto twitter and attempted to find out whether Yunjin actually made it to the saved seats.

She looked stupid standing at the bottom of the rows, staring attentively at the two boys that invaded her seat. She spotted her bag shoved to another seat next to them, the thought causing anxiety to creep into her system. It would have been okay if there was another seat next to her- but that was the thing.

The one seat they shoved her bag to, did not have a spare seat- in fact, another boy occupied it. His locks were strawberry blonde, ribbons of pink coloured into his strands, his skin clear of any acne, his eyes resembling an elegant fox, and his lips were covered with the utmost shine.

Bewildered, yn shook her head, not believing that she stared at someone's lips for that long.

Heading her attention to the invader boys, she tilted her head, scanning over one boy with straight, black locks, brown eyes resembling that of a cautious cat.

And then, it struck her.

That was the boy she saw when she was getting her login- the one with the pretty eyes. Although, she shivered at the coincidence: what was the chances that their roads intertwined in the same classroom.

The boy next to him looked a little nicer: he had shorter, black hair (maybe with an undercut) and had the sharpest jawline she had ever witnessed.

Her phone buzzed in her hands, but she paid no heed to it as she started to stride up the steps, getting closer to the pair that were peacefully conversing. If anything, her bag was in that seat first- a totally valid and logical response.

A small frown disgraced her face when she stood in front of the undercut dude, crossing her arms.

"Excuse me?" Yn spoke up. Both of them glanced, becoming silent.

"My bag was on that seat. I was saving it for someone as well."

They simply looked at each other when the cat boy sat up, a stern face gazing back at her.

"Okay. And?"

Yn's eyes widened in disbelief, uncrossing her arms. "And? Why did you move my bag? I was obviously going to sit there."

The cat boy rolled his eyes. "How was I supposed to know that? Does this seat have your name on it?"

The undercut boy widened his eyes as he leaned back, clearly giving space for the verbal battle to happen.

"It doesn't have my name on it, but it had my bag on it. Can't you just give it up, class is about to start in a few minutes."

"Exactly, it's a competition here. Even if it's for simple things, such as seats. So, just sit and get ready for class," the cat boy retorted, bringing out his laptop and opening it. Yn clenched her fists, frustration pinching her nerves.

"Okay, what the fvck, is he always this stubborn?" Yn directed her question to the undercut boy, whom was clearly enjoying the quarrel. He glanced and shrugged before giving a soft smile.

"Yeah, a little bit. Everything is a competition to him, so he might be a little stuck-up."

"Watch it, Jongseong," the cat boy muttered gloomily. Jongseong turned to him.

"Jeonseong hyung, you mean."

He faced back to her before offering a handshake. She stared and let her hands slip into his, shooking it. "I'm Park Jeonseong, but people call me Jay."

Yn smiled a little for the first time upon meeting them. "Nice to meet you. I'm Choi Yn. Who's your grumpy friend over there?"

The cat boy sent an abject glare before turning back to his computer, but Jay leaned back carelessly.

"His name is Yang Jungwon. My best friend for the last few years." he explained, patting his back. Jungwon didn't give a glance, focusing on his lit screen.

She ignored him and smiled back at Jay, before looking around the room to new students filling every row.

Every seat was occupied and the classroom was now flooded with people. There was no way to hunt down empty double seats, which made her more entangled in anxiety.

Looking back at Jay, she leaned down a little to maximise the volume of her voice.

"Are you really not moving?" she asked, despondent.

Jay clicked his tongue, resting both his hands behind his head as he gave a timid stare to Yn. She guessed he had gotten too comfortable to negotiate.

Unless the professor let her switch seats, there was no way to sit next to Yunjin. Anything to be away from the miserable cat sat next to Jay.

Before she could move over to her apparent place, a shake on her shoulders sent her out of her thoughts. Yanking her head around, she saw Yunjin with a raised eyebrow.

Her blonde hair was in a ponytail, a few strands left out in the front with an adorable clip on her strands as she dressed in a simple pink top and white skirt. She stood with hands on her hips, expectant of an answer.

"You can't sit next to me..." Yn said, presenting a guilty grin. Yunjin looked over her shoulder and then glanced back, confused.

"And you asked them?"

"What do you think I'm doing standing here?"

"Making friends?"

Yn screwed her face up in disgust at her uncanny answer.

"I mean, there is a free seat behind me? I can talk to the professor if we can get new seats." Yn suggested, trying to fuel hope into both of them. Yunjin was about to speak before a voice called out over the speakers, halting everyone in their actions.

A man stood on the stage, next to a desk as he beckoned everyone; a middle-aged man gazed over the audience, holding his blazer together. Yn gestured for Yunjin to take her seat before sending a sorry glance and sitting down herself.

Jungwon shifted over to the opposite side when yn sat down, bringing out her own laptop and setting herself up. They didn't say anything whilst the professor started introducing himself.

Whilst staring ahead, a soft nudge from her other side forced her to meet eyes with the other boy she had stared at. A smile graced his rosy lips as he held out his hand from underneath the table, fox eyes creasing in crescents.

"Hi, my name is Kim Sunoo. Nice to meet you, classmate."

Yn connected their hands as she gave a firm shake. "My name is Choi Yn. Nice to meet you as well."

He smiled before leaning in a little to keep their voices in a hush.

"What made you want to pick English Literature?" Sunoo asked, a friendly sparkle in his gaze. Yn shrugged, returning a courteous smile.

"I want to advance in the language more. Besides, I love reading books and interpreting them. I take psychology as well," Yn explained, bringing her laptop closer to her. Sunoo whipped his head around, jaw dropping from the information.

"Psychology? That's tough. Though, I can't say anything. I take Journalism." He chuckled a little. Yn was the one to widen her eyes. Journalism was definitely challenging with the amount of obstacles faced in the education and the career itself. She respected him for his path.

Besides, his sunflower personality highlighted his optimism.

"What about you? Do you need literature for journalism?"

"I want to go abroad at some point. I could have taken the language program, but I know that I don't want to be limited on current events. I want to go on to write about books and poems. I always loved those."

Yn could tell the passion for journalism growing in him, as if it was a delicate seed yet to hatch. She smiled and nodded.

"I feel like I made my life harder by taking psychology and literature together." Yn said, making Sunoo chuckle a little.

The conversation ended there as they both sat and listened to the lecturer.

The classes, Yn thought, was much smoothe than expected; however, the professor did not let her switch seats, wanting Yn to make "new friends".

And of course, she conversed a lot more to Jay than to Jungwon. But, the more they hung out together, the more Jay grew comfortable, making Jungwon have no choice but to get to know each other.

Yn and Yunjin found that Jay was also American and a previous university dropout. He had previously taken the path of forensic science, but after getting traumatised by the... gruesome side of it, he dropped it and took a gap year.

God knows why he came back to take English Literature.

And for Jungwon, he wore a grumpy, little frown and she could see his invisible cat ears terribly flap down upon his head.

Eventually, he spoke into conversations, voicing opinions and practicing his English- which Yn found that he was a speedy learner. Though, she had yet to see him smile around her.

All Yn could tell about him is that he locked a lot of emotions in him, and he was determined to keep it that way. He was also keen on proving his intelligence on her, wanting to beat her in any way.

She ignored it- tried to ignore it.

Though, Yn did feel a little bad for imprinting her first impression on him like that. The logical thing to do was to fix that dent that she had made in their first meeting.

However, the first time she saw him smile, it was peculiar.

Assignments were being given back along with feedback at the end of a long lecture. As soon as the lecturer announced the feedback, anticipation bubbling in her head.

Everyone had been staring at the professor for a few minutes as he walked around, passing them along the rows, apprehension fogging the atmosphere.

Her whole row practically drowned in silent when the papers were passed down. She gripped Jay and Jungwon's paper down, not bothering to look as she stared at her own paper.

She saw no score just yet, but she hoped it was enough to fuel her confidence in the subject.

Jungwon flipping over his paper knocked her out of her thoughts as she spotted his handwriting. It was a little bit messy in some places, smudged as if he was rushing his words towards the end.

Shaking her head, she took a deep breath before flipping her paper to the end, eyes fixed on the crimson writing stating her percentage.

The breath that she held in her chest finally released, her shoulders slumping as a small smile tugged at her lips.

"Yn, what did you get?" Yunjin asked from behind her. Swiftly turning to her, she couldn't help but smile, displaying the paper to her.

"79%!" she squealed. She knew it wasn't enough to get a grade A, but for the first assignment in the first few weeks, it was enough for her heart to swell.

Yunjin covered her mouth, smiling and squealing at an appropriate volume and gleed at her. "That's my girl!"

"What about you?"

Yunjin showed her paper, a 70% score written on. Yn gestured for a high-five, and once she gave it, she sat back down and turned to Jungwon.

His fingers gripped on the paper, scanning over the red writing that weighed whether he was worthy of even taking the class. She leaned over his shoulder a little, noticing how frozen he was whilst scanning his paper.

She raised her eyebrows, smiling a little at Jungwon, wanting to harmlessly poke at his ego a little.

"I guess I beat you by 17%, hm? Is your ego hurt?" she teased, leaning her chin onto her palm.

Jungwon gave a little glance at her paper, and then back to his. And somehow, he managed to frown deeper- but not from anger.

It was just sorrow.

Jungwon pulled his bag up, shoving his paper into his bag as he stood up and walked off, without Jay.

Yn watched him, guilt settling in as he strolled down the stairs.

Jay tilted his head and glanced over to Yn, whom stared at the brown desk.

Maybe that was shitty of her? But, he had always shown competitiveness when trying to shut her down with his "intelligent" talk. She just wanted a serve a taste of his own medicine.

Without waiting for Yunjin, she got up and shoved her contents into her backpack and raced after him.

She bumped into a few people on the way out, but she could spot his black hair bouncing as he walked and the grey hoodie caught her eyes immediately.

She didn't want to run so, she settled for following him until he hit the café area.

Jungwon slumped down on one of the sofas, gripping his phone from his pocket and starting to stare at it. At one point, his screen was lit up, showing a random app- and the next, he was staring at the dark screen, the reflection of himself making him sigh.

His body was drowing with a heaviness, as if he was sinking into the depths of the sea. The pressure of school was already tugging at his feet and it was only the first few weeks.

If this was his ability now, then how could he improve? He leaned back, wanting nothing more than to close his eyes and miraculously land in his bed. At least he could dream that he got a good grade.

A thud in front of him made him startled as he opened his eyes to see Yn sitting on the table with a chocolate muffin in her hand. She was holding it out in front of him, expecting him to take it.

Jungwon gazed at the muffin and, for a moment, she thought he would slap the treat out of her hand and cuss her out. But, he actually tilted his head, eyebrows not so buried into his head.

Yn watched him as he took the muffin, and looked up at her with a gentle stare. He almost looked grateful.

"It was a joke, Jungwon. I didn't want to offend you," Yn started, hands interlocking as she fidgeted.

"Plus, it's not the end of the world. It's our first assignment."

Jungwon scoffed, a smile tugging at his lips. "In that case, I'll beat your ass next time."

Astonished, Yn just smiled and rolled her eyes. "17% is a lot to make up for. You sure you can?"

He picked apart the wrapper on the muffin slowly, carefully.

"I thought you knew I'm a fast learner. 17% is nothing." he shrugged.

"Then, can I ask you a question?"

"Better be good."

"Why were you so mad, then. Are first grades that important for you?"

Jungwon froze a little, an agitated gaze shaking in his eyes. He continued taking off the wrapper, eating a little chunk.

"I'm just competitive, that's all. I thought Jay hyung would have told you that."

"Well maybe Jay wants you to speak for yourself." Yn retorted.

Jungwon munched on his muffin, looking up briefly from his muffin. "Sorry, I guess. I could have introduced myself better?"

Yn pursed her lips. It's not like she gave the most welcoming impression ever.

"Well, I could have made a better impression as well. I was mad about the seats."

Jungwon smiled a little again, reminded of the bold requests at the beginning of the year.

"You're pretty serious about having seats to yourself."

"That's an actual problem. If i wasn't sat next to you and Jay, I wouldn't really grow comfortable to anyone else. Oh- and Sunoo as well." Yn gleamed.

Jungwon nodded, considering how lucky he was to actually sit next to his friend. Now that he looked back at it, he was really pricked with pettiness that day. He didn't have the answer as to why he couldn't give up those seats, but he knew it was ridiculous.

"Sorry for calling you grumpy," she said, going for a handshake, eyes sparkling with genuine kindness. As Jungwon gazed up at her, he saw the genial twinkle, one that didn't trigger his anxiety.

Slipping his hands into hers, he shook it. "Sorry for being grumpy."

"Let's start again. I'm Yn," she said, smiling a bit more.

He couldn't help but sigh and nodded, facing her with a small gem of kindness.

"I'm Jungwon."

That was how Yn saw him smile for the first time, and she knew it was going to be a good year. It had to be a good year.

She didn't want anything less.

A/n: okay, so here's the prologue- ack I'm saur excited braur...😭🫶🏽

[shiraishi--kanade]

since we're asking about relationships: shiho and an? and what's one thing you'd like to see an and toya do together? not necessarily in the terms of an event story [unless you want to] could be anything!

LOVE Shiho and An. Absolutely adore Shiho and An. Resonant Town was the event where I completely and totally decided "oh okay, I definitely have a favourite in this game" (before that I was kind of torn between An and Touya, actually), so it's very dear to me.

I love how easy for An it was to befriend Shiho. She hasn't met this girl properly like a week ago and she's already dragging her on an aquarium date /p. "If she your friend?" "Yeah!!" You go girl! Love you for that.

I love how much Shiho cared about An, too. Yes, all of their meetings were by a coincidence (which is extremely funny), but even so, Shiho was still concerned and worried for An because of all the pain she heard in her voice, and in their last meeting even went out of her way to help An out.

I love how Shiho saw Leo/need and also herself in An. I love how that's the reason she was able to understand and connect with An so well, pinpointing her feelings before An even said anything. I love how An opened up to her, slowly and hesitantly but earnestly, because she saw herself in Shiho, too.

I love just about everything about this particular moment and have re-watched it more than i can count.

I love their way with music, too. Them being at the same wavelength entirely for the jam session and experimenting and pushing each other further! The slight hint of admiration they have for each other's skill! Everything!!

Just look at them! They're an amazing duo! I can't get enough of them!

Anyway. Back to normal.

An and Touya is... An interesting question. I really want them to talk about running away from their grief, feeling of inadequacy, jealousy too, all of that ugly stuff. I really hope that will be what this event will bring us, even though I don't have much hope.

But I also want them to do silly stuff together, too. Arcade tournaments. An teaching Touya to cook properly. Math tutoring. Composing songs! An who doesn't know music theory at all because Nagi taught her in a way that was super intuitive and relies on An's natural talent vs Touya and his multitude of classical composition textbooks and the need to learn in more technical ways is such a nice contrast and peak comedy potential.

Yeah, went on a rant here. Sorry. (⁠•⁠ ⁠���⁠ ⁠•⁠;⁠)

I Told Sunset About You Live Blogging

I learned about this back in 2020, around the time 2gether was coming out or afterwards I guess? I had the trailer on my Watch Later because I heard about some gay series with the beautiful title and some appealing tagline. I hadn't even been into BLs or shows much back then and was still curious about it. Yet, it's nearing the end of 2024 and still haven't watched it.

I watched Billikin's How To Make Millions Before Grandma Dies in theatres a few months ago. I've gotta make some time to watch this, man. I don't know whether I'll be tempted to binge or watch 1-2 eps a day, maybe I'll try to savour it.

Ep 1 (Dec 23)

2021 - starts toward the end I guess, when Teh is applying for university

2016 - beginning of their friendship

ah, Oh-aew got offered the role in the school play instead of Teh despite not even having interest in it

Damn, this play is in Mandarin, which they don't speak? no translations? i didn't know kids did plays like that

The scene of Teh doing the moves behind the stage is so good

Ah, they become rivals as both want to be actors

Oh, they stopped interacting and seeing each other

So like 5 years later, he's trying out for university admissions right?

Girl, don't tempt me, if the girl is endearing enough, I'll start shipping the main male lead in a BL with a girl too (a la Love Mechanics with Vee and Ploy lol). Tarn seems cute

friends -> rivals but almost kinda enemies

Ah, another blow up

Dang, Oh tearing up almost

Oof, Teh was first on the list while Oh didn't get in... I guess this is where the studying part comes in that I'd vaguely heard about? Teh decides to tutor Oh to coach him getting in or smth?

Also for a second I was like is Teh gonna say the stuff he said in his interview about what he'd say to his friend? but maybe later on, since they didn't show it yet

They're kinda making up bit by bit but there are still barriers and hurt words from the past

They really do cry a lot. Billikin crying is mentioned a fair amount when it comes to this show but like I wasn't expecting them both to cry this much and this many times in ep 1 lol

Ep 2 (Dec 23)

Teh is so loved by his family, both his mother and his brother. But also where is that airplane ticket to?

Oh is first on the waiting list. hmm would anybody who tried to early admissions by auditioning actually give up their spot?

This recurring Rival Chinese word that Teh is/was obsessed with lol. Oh's "you meant me?" teasing is sooo cute

Rival page -> Intimate page turned

lol not the boob touching convo. meanwhile neither has touched any. delighted at both being virgins lmfaoo

will Teh postpone/cancel on Oh to hang out with Tarn?

cryingggg at Teh being so distracted by the open button on Tarn's shirt showing a sliver of her hibiscus bra

Tarn is so cute, I like her, I hope she's not too heartbroken by the end

tutoring seems to be going well

Teh is so up in his feelings about Oh inviting the whole group to what he thought was just going to be two of them hanging out + Oh telling everybody that's he's a virgin/chaste when he told Teh to not tell anyone. but he doesn't fully even understand why

ah, the Intimate Chinese word now is the focus

ahh Teh doesn't want to be just same as other friends to Oh, he doesn't want to be equal to their relationships. god this gayness

omg??? Oh telling Teh something top secret but it's literally that he likes Bas?!?!

Teh is sooooo excited for Oh and talking about how he'll help Oh lmfao oh girl just you wait

This lunch room scene with Oh and Teh communicating secretly and on their own wavelength about how Teh should get closer to Bas and Teh's fear of both being found out + rejection ahhh

lmfao not Teh saying that he'll be hitting on Oh-aew to observe Bas' reaction to figure out if he likes Oh. And his plan worked! cryinggg

their knee nudging playing in contrast to Oh's fear when trying to get his knee to touch Bas' at lunch and being unable to. like obviously this shows that Oh is more nervous about Bas and has romantic intentions while touching Teh is so much more comfortable and familiar

And now Teh is jealous lol

hm an IG story saying that Teh will be with Tarn every afternoon from now on? in a fit of jealousy? idk girl, are you abandoning tutoring Oh

girl and Teh doesn't even fucking mean it, he just wants Oh to see the story

omg lowkey got scared by the look Teh was giving Tarn

ahhh Tarn kissing him in the end, i love her

why is Teh being an ass to Oh again >:( I guess he's mad that Oh didn't check his story but c'mon

literally obsessed with Teh going all the way to the pier and waiting on the boat and riding the boat with Oh to the destination but not quite managing to speak to Oh. And Oh's the one who comes back to talk to Teh. just such a good way to show the warring factions in Teh's mind + how he's taking action but can't quite follow through with all of it

"Don't give my time to others" from both of them

Crazy, Teh now likes the coconut scent from Oh's hair even though he hates coconut and its smell

Why is everything from the cinematography to the storyline and pacing to the characterization to the acting so good?

Ep 3 (Dec 24)

Teh's newfound obsession with coconut lol

Ah, of course the 2 people who immediately see Oh's story are Bas and Teh

The difference between how Teh didn't want to wake up at 4am to spend time with Tarn vs calling Oh at 4

both Tarn and Oh getting jealous of the other and they don't even know lmfao

omg Oh almost trying the knee thing on Teh but not doing it and writing Secret in his notebook repeatedly

We'll get to see Oh being moody this episode I guess as he figures out that he likes Teh?

ah, Teh texts Oh telling him to let him know when he's home, something he used to only do for Tarn and Oh was kinda jealous about

Oh can't control his smile seeing his and Teh's knees touching

This piano piece as Teh unknowingly loses his mind over Oh sharing a room with Bas is so good

Teh watching Oh and Bas spending time

omg?! the way Oh left Bas' side to come to Teh but then literally kinda crawled the last two inches and was fed a chip by Teh... wild

damn, Oh. Tried to kiss a sleeping Bas but when Bas woke up and asked to spend Chinese New Years together was like hm it's not fun just us two, let me invite the rest of them too

Playing around at dawn and giving each other hibiscus woahh

Girl, you don't know if Bas really likes you?! Be fr, you're just doubting how much you like it

This is crazyyyy T: "You really like someone else? Who? Tell me!!" O: "I think you know." *silence* O: "You really don't know? But I think you do"

Oh asking Teh "and you? since when?" possibly in reference to Teh liking him back?! ah Teh says "I don't know. I just want to be close to you and don't want you to be close to anyone else"

Oh is so bold

noooo my beloved Tarn

I was eating, so didn't say much but oh wow, lots of time together + like kinda progress idk

i can't watch the back scratching and heavy breathing/smelling scene for real, it's currently playing in a little box on my screen because oh my god...

Teh has dodged several attempts at a kiss from Oh

Last ep neither consciously knew but this ep both know that they like each other.

Ep 4 (Dec 24)

I... am afraid to watch this because it is supposed to be sad I think?

ow, Hoon brought his gf and having dinner with whole family + Oh-aew

oh Tarn's translucent shirt which shows her bra today

ahhh her drawing the hibiscus

her pushing her hair back to show her chest/bra omggg okay

omg Teh doesn't even notice...

oh Tarn... :(

okay, Tarn's putting her foot down and putting distance between them okay

but we also have Oh and Bas

ah, the time and effort

dang, underwater kiss... i feel like I maybe knew about it? I'm still afraid for what's coming though, another hour of the ep left

Teh wants to be friends? girl

Feels like a breakup and they haven't even dated fuck thisss

Ah, the bra scene

OH POSTS A PIC OF HIM WITH THE BRA ON IG?!

Dang, telling him right before he's leaving, don't make him miss his flight to go to Oh or smth

girl... I'm scared that this man is not gonna do his confirmation

fuckkkk he didn't sign?! because Oh was 1st on waiting list? girl!!! okay can you still get in with exams, you haven't been studying bruh

Fuck, Teh's mother... T.T

Ah, and now is when Oh-aew watches Teh's IG stories

damn

damn

okay so is Oh still going to take the admission route instead of waitlisted method that Teh basically gave him. In that case, Teh can indeed get in again and get in while Oh doesn’t because for a while I thought since they go to different universities and Oh was given the spot, that means Teh doesn’t make it again. but not necessarily

Ep 5 (Dec 25)

Last episode…

deleted text history damn Teh

Teh blessing Philip but basically talking to Oh lol

Bas scaring me with his blessing

oh Bas why would you say that in public I’m paused right as Bas says I like you with his cute smile bc omg… how could this go well?

girl at the back is fujoing out though

Why is Bas literally confessing

Teh crying watching this confession and even Oh crying and it’s going on forever my goodness

Teh’s teary look of longing as Oh and Bas go outside to sort it out

exam day already

these loud ass fire crackers every damn time

no way their first conversation in weeks? is right before the exams and Teh also finds out Oh and Bas are together

what the fuckkkk he can’t handle it and is just crying instead of doing his exam?? TEH FUCK don’t fucking do this right now, pull yourself together

bro for a second i thought Teh did his answers wrong by 1

also v impressive if he managed to do 92 questions out of 100 if he literally had a crying breakdown at the beginning of the exam

Teh telling Hoon that he likes Oh-aew omg

ah, Hoon being so nice to Teh

girl don’t worry about telling your friends you’re gay and their reaction, they’re fine with Oh and Bas

one of the friends is literally muslim? omg

oh fuck Oh got in?! fuck… wait… wait wait wait ummmm

girl they’re taking so long to show, it’s obvious Teh didn’t get in

ah, second choice instead of first choice

Bas is literally sooo good and kind, I’m sad for him but I believe he can find somebody who loves him and whose first choice is Bas

ah finally they meet again

aw they made up

Overall:

One of the shows that has been on my watchlist the longest, since before I was even into shows or BLs. It was beautiful to watch and you could feel the effort and thought in the storyline and characterization and plot progression and the writing. Really well done, I thought they used their runtime very well. Emotional but I don't think that I'll actually think about this show or characters much. I didn't latch onto the characters or relationship as much as I hoped or other people seemed to but it's still well-crafted regardless.

Rating: 7/10

Things I knew about ITSAY:

some sort of academic rivalry but also tutoring. they're friends to lovers but also not friends

The scene of them in the swing/hammock on the beach but not much surrounding it

the ep 3 not-sex-scene sex scene lol I saw a clip on tiktok about the nuzzling and stuff and then later saw ppl mention ep 3 a lot when referencing it (or referencing something that I guessed was about that scene)

PP's character cries while holding a bra to his chest in a mirror

they don't end up going to the same uni? because seems like from the IPYTM convo that they're kinda LDR. And also either somebody gave up on their spot or didn't give up on their spot or smth like that idk fully

The Physics Puzzle: Answering Questions on Entanglement

Understanding the intricate concepts of electromagnetic theory can be a daunting task for many students. The complex interplay of electric and magnetic fields, along with their dynamic interactions, often leaves students seeking assistance. If you find yourself grappling with electromagnetic theory assignments, fear not! This blog aims to unravel the complexities of electromagnetic theory and guide you to reliable electromagnetic theory Assignment Help Online

Key Concepts of Electromagnetic Theory:

Maxwell's Equations:

Maxwell's equations form the foundation of electromagnetic theory. They describe how electric and magnetic fields interact and propagate through space.

The four equations, Gauss's Law, Gauss's Law for Magnetism, Faraday's Law of Induction, and Ampère's Law with Maxwell's Addition, provide a comprehensive framework for understanding electromagnetic phenomena.

Electromagnetic Waves:

Electromagnetic waves are a natural consequence of Maxwell's equations. These waves include radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays, and gamma rays.

Understanding the properties and behavior of electromagnetic waves is crucial for grasping the broader implications of electromagnetic theory.

Electromagnetic Fields and Forces:

The electric and magnetic fields exert forces on charged particles, leading to a myriad of phenomena such as electric and magnetic induction, Lorentz forces, and the behavior of charged particles in electromagnetic fields.

Grasping the interplay of these fields is essential for solving problems related to electromagnetic theory assignments.

Challenges Faced by Students:

Despite the importance of electromagnetic theory, students often encounter challenges due to the abstract nature of the subject. The mathematical rigor involved in solving problems can be overwhelming. If you find yourself struggling, seeking electromagnetic theory assignment help online is a wise decision.

Sample Questions and Answers:

Question: Explain Gauss's Law and its significance in electromagnetic theory.

Answer: Gauss's Law relates the electric flux through a closed surface to the total charge enclosed by that surface. Mathematically, it is expressed as ∮E ⋅ dA = Q/ε₀, where E is the electric field, A is the surface area, Q is the enclosed charge, and ε₀ is the permittivity of free space. This law helps us understand the distribution of electric charge and its effects on the surrounding space.

Question: Describe the propagation of electromagnetic waves.

Answer: Electromagnetic waves propagate through space as oscillating electric and magnetic fields. The speed of electromagnetic waves in a vacuum is the speed of light, denoted by 'c.' These waves exhibit characteristics such as wavelength, frequency, and amplitude. The relationship between these properties is given by c = λf, where c is the speed of light, λ is the wavelength, and f is the frequency.

Electromagnetic Theory Assignment Help Online:

For those seeking assistance with electromagnetic theory assignments, various online platforms offer expert guidance. These platforms provide personalized tutoring, solutions to complex problems, and resources to enhance your understanding of electromagnetic theory.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, electromagnetic theory is a fundamental aspect of physics that governs the behavior of electric and magnetic fields. While it may seem challenging at first, breaking down the concepts and seeking online assignment help can significantly ease the learning process. By mastering electromagnetic theory, you'll gain a deeper understanding of the physical world and its intricate workings. Embrace the complexity, seek help when needed, and let electromagnetic theory become a subject of fascination rather than intimidation.

The Memories I Am Most Fond Of

Every high school memory ever, even the badshit. My high school life wasn't as bad as everyone else's sooooo. It was the most fun I had all around.

Drunk nights with friends. DRUNK KARAOKE NIGHTS EVEN BETTER.

Every beach episode.

New Year's Eve. Even though it gets super noisy, I like the vibe of everyone - how positive and hopeful they are embracing the new year.

Watching movies or series episodes with other people, regardless if we were family, friends or neither. It's always nice to see other people's reactions to the same media you're consuming. One of the easiest ways to learn more about the people you're watching with. I still remember that one time I watched a Haikyuu episode, the one where Tsukishima BLOCKS in season 3. I watched it in an internet cafe. I SKIPPED my evening classes for it. I had to watch it as soon as it dropped. And I remember dozens of other people rushing inside the cafe and watching behind every weeb's computer screen. There were like 6 or 7 of us playing the Haikyuu episode. There were college students watching behind each one of us. And the moment Tsukishima perfectly blocked Ushijima, we all yelled and cheered like it was a real world sports event. That was fucking amazing. I am so glad I skipped classes that evening. I felt so connected with these strangers, it felt great! And I also thought only girls watched Haikyuu, but that night it was mostly guys. I respect the hell out of that.

Shopping and hanging out with my mom. When I was a kid, she would bring me every where when we stopped getting nannies to take care of me. To her work (yes, somehow they let me stay put in their lounge afternoon onwards because I was such a behaved kid, I only posed as distraction every time they walked to the lounge. The amount of nose and cheek pinching were a nightmare), to the house of the kids she was tutoring (where I was able to watch Cartoon Network, I didn't really have a childhood in Disney Junior or Cartoon Network or any of those tv channels but I was able to see some episodes that those kids watched), to store/mall hopping, to visiting my uncles in the city, to depositing in the bank, and to anywhere else. What made it fun even until now is that this was always a great time to ask her about weird questions, and we have the same wavelength of laughing at ridiculous things we see when travelling. Well, I mean, it's true for the rest of our fam, still it feels more satisfying to get my mother to laugh cause most of time she's just a walking grenade.

[optimisticjewl7048]

So I saw this post saying. " Don't rush grief out the door. invite her in for tea and take notes. She has much to teach you." So here I am being very raw and real to hopefully inspire and help the next. (⁠｡⁠･⁠ω⁠･⁠｡⁠)⁠ﾉ⁠♡. There has been so much to grieve over the last few years. I started a journey that had no destination, 6ish years ago but I wanted better for myself. The first 3ish years on and off I fought though homeless. ( My home life was kinda toxic so I left Michigan to move to Nevada with no genuine support I struggled) I fought though abusive from people very close to me (mental,physical, emotional and sexual). I fought through watching people close to me struggle with pains and addiction that I couldn't save them from.. I could barely do for myself.. I fought through death of 2 people very close to me ( my mom and best friend Salem) . I fought myself... Lost and confused of who I even was. I fought so much. But through that I look and where the journey has led me. I still had passion and hope inside me to do something better,

to be better. I became a camp counselor at the YMCA, then to becoming a Before and After School Teacher at 2 different schools, to now being an Admin at a very profound tutoring center. ----All while still going to school for environmental conservation and holistic health? Don't play with me lol. Right now feels like a new beginning, I'm definitely not done and what I intent to create is so much bigger than myself. I never imagined this. Looking at my past and the pains the world has laid on me I now know I can use these pains to help and prevent others from experiencing what I experienced or help them go through what their going through.. I didn't think I would make it to 25. BUT. GUESS WHAAT! I'm 26 and loving it( still ups and downs but we grow). Lol. WITH ALL THAT BEING SAID!! If you have beef with me eat my ass! You don't even know the wavelength. But for those going through it know that this isn't the end and you can do hard things. It's okay to grief and be sad and mad and angry. I've cried so much but each tear meant something to me.Each tear had me look with in. And with facing those feelings, and being gentle with myself, it brought me back up on my feet to try again. To find my purpose. To go places I didn't know I would ever be. So again Keep going friends! ! We are on a healing journey and that's okays.

So, again I am answering for Fiolia at the moment because I really do have to pick a Country or I will write for ages. But this does kind of apply to Countries that are "on the same wavelength" with Fiolia too. In Fiolia, you can gauge the wealth of someone by their material possessions, like houses, terrain, animals, clothing and jewels, and boats (a lot of Fiolia is coastal towns after all). It also meant taking special care in nominating a "holder of possessions", an official heir, to prevent wealth from going back to being in the town's hands (to then be redistributed) when the person passed. The wealthy are also traditionally considered part of an elite of people who is "worthy of being blessed", who people will call the "great ones". Yes, even if the wealth is inherited. This title comes with the idea that you are inherently a good person, so it came with a good amount of social responsibilities attached. Making sure that the poor are taken care of and that you "give back" is imperative, and many of those people would just set aside a portion of their fortune to go toward this and have the "holder of possessions" care about doing this. This worked well because the wealthy don't have to actually care about it, and their heir appears to earn their title as a future "great one". If they don't have an heir yet, they would usually just hire someone to do it for them, but in that case, they would have to show their face every once in a while. In Fiolia there also is another class of wealthy people who are not held to the same standard and these are people with great magical abilities. These people not only were born with a great affinity for magic but studied hard to get where they are. They would often be given very important roles in society and them putting their magical abilities at service is considered "giving back", so they don't have the same social responsibility that the "great ones" do. They are tutors (teaching magic is very well paid!), members of counsel, they keep temples, and they rank highly in the military. Theirs is the kind of wealth that also comes with a huge amount of influence. They are called the "blessed warriors". What all wealthy people had in common was a decadent lifestyle. Imagine good food, lots of drinking, high fashion and all pleasures of life. With wealth being considered a blessing given to the worthy, comes also the perk of a lot of their action being justified as "these people know best". So, to be short, for the wealthy, being actually punished for their crimes is an incredibly rare occasion.

What does it mean to be ‘wealthy’ in your world?

I think the best part of KinnPorsche, and it really comes to mind with this latest episode, is that every character thinks they’re in a different genre and it’s the funniest thing watching it clash with the reality.

Kinn is just living his best rom-com life where he falls for his sassy but kind assistant bodyguard that he can no longer live with out.

Porsche is basically a YA novel where he falls for his sexy morally ambiguous love interest who’s secretly sweet but *gasp* his past has come to haunt him!

Pete thinks he’s in a dark psychological thriller where he must battle his inner demons and brooding but hot captor to maintain his humanity but it threatens to over take him at any moment as he is torn between his newly found dark desires and the reputation he prides himself on.

Vegas acts like he’s in gothic bodice ripper novel where his entire world becomes the kind, empathic heroine Pete and he will do anything to keep him to himself and Pete is going to help him overcome the truama of his past with his love.

Kim sees himself in this brooding noir style detective film where he must uncover the dark past of his family but oh no he finds himself falling for the pure and sweet ingénue Chay and must wrestle with the dangerous life he leads and the mission he’s devoted himself to and the love of his life

Porchay thought he’s living his Wattpad dream life where he meets his idol and gains his respect as he tutors him and they slowly develop a sweet friendship that turns into a heartfelt romance

They really demonstrate how all the characters are protagonists of their own story, and that’s how they make their decisions, based on the assumptions on the world around them. They think they know the story their in, and that’s the role they have taken, but the tragedy and the complications of these relationships is that they aren’t in a single genre story. They’re people, achingly human people, interacting with other complex people and what is salvation for one is a damnation for the other.

They aren’t in any specific genre (you know, beyond on the whole mafia thing) and that’s where the miscommunication happens, that’s how the drama unfolds, that’s how all these different romances keep missing each other, because they’re all operating on different wavelengths based on the story they think *THEY’RE* in and not stopping to really consider the other perspective.

It’s absolutely hilarious, it’s terribly tragic, it’s utterly beautiful and performed so well by the writers and the actors.
