The Night We Met - Episode 6

pairing : Taehyung x OC   genre : bodyguard!au, singleparent!au, idol!au   word count : 4.1k summary — It doesn’t look good for Taehyung and his niece when his brother’s in-laws come visit them. Prologue | ep.1 | ep.2 | ep.3 | ep.4 | ep.5 | ep.6 | ep.7 

“I told you you didn’t have to stay home today,” you hear Taehyung tell you when he comes out of the bathroom. “I don’t want to ruin your week when I don’t have to go anywhere.”

He pauses in the entrance corridor where you’re standing almost at attention. You look up at him and can feel some uneasiness on his behalf when you don’t move an inch.

You speak calmly. “You’re not ruining anything.”

He frowns,powerless and opens his mouth without really knowing what to say back. He slowly walks away in the kitchen.

“Want me to make you something?”

You shake your head. Seeing him confused and trying to find some meaning behind your attitude is somewhat amusing.  

He pauses again.

“Come sit with me… I’m barely awake but you’re stressing me out.” You indulge him. He frowns to himself, “don’t make me order you.”

You sit at the end of the couch. “Thought you’d like it...”

“Huh?”

“Nothing.”

You both hear Hina toddling out of her room. Her usual toothy grin is absent this morning and it immediately thought-provokes you both.

She doesn’t look up at you but stops a short moment to hug your knees as a compensation. You watch her shuffle her way between Taehyung’s legs with a pouty face.

“Morning sweetheart. You okay?” He cranes his neck down to get a look at her face pulled back downward. “What’s wrong? Feeling sick?”

Your eyes show little worry.

“You tummy hurt?” He asks again when she rubs her stomach. She nods a little, turns around and lifts her arms to have him hug her. He traps his slice of bread in his mouth, rubs his hand and picks her up on his lap. “Want this banana? It’ll make you feel better.”

She accepts to be fed with little zeal but eats anyway.

******

Taehyung has noticed your unusual quiet behavior which has now endured the whole past week but he doesn’t comment on it. He senses you alert but isn’t sure about the reason behind it. His attention is fully directed to his niece, taking special care of her as she thankfully seems to get better quickly.

You’ve been left alone in the living-room for a while. You look at the door when the doorbell rings and stride towards it confidently.

You swing the door open with too much force, taking by surprise Hwiin who’s standing on the other side. You frown a little at her when she smiles at you eerily. You shift to let her in.

You walk past her and sit down again while she remains standing, looking around to localize anyone else.

Luckily, you both don’t have to keep up with an awkward silence when Taehyung shows himself a couple of minutes later. You don’t pay attention to them as they start conversing about whatever brought her here.

You find yourself looking at her two or three times before you eventually decide to walk away and check on Hina.

“This seems like a lot, to be honest,” Taehyung admits looking at the screen right in front of him. “I’m barely keeping up with Hina and her school schedule.”

Hwiin’s smile doesn’t falter. She leans in and gently puts her hand on his arm. “Trust me, those interviews and shows overseas are much needed after your successful comeback.”

“I thought they’d be enough, you know, given my previous absence.”

He meets her fairly subtle gaze, sensing its pleading. It used to work much more easily before. He runs his finger in his hair, breaking touch with her but gets her all the more captivated with his casual demeanor and bare face.  

“You cannot just rely on local activities, it’s an opportunity not to miss. And I’m sure your foreign fans will be so grateful. It’s been so long.”

He leans back in the chair, grazing his bottom lip with his teeth. He can’t say he doesn’t miss them just as much.

“We’ll take care of…” She looks down, frowning as she looks for her words, “adjustments later. Please give your green light.” They lock eyes. She grins an innocent smile, “trust me.”

The dilemma is very clear but his hesitation also emphasizes his excitement about touring abroad again.

He lets out a deep sigh, covering his face with both hands, “I can’t believe I’m saying this but… okay. I’m down.”

He hears the excited squeal that escapes her.

“You won’t regret it.” She says delighted as she nimbly taps an answer to an email on her tablet computer and puts some order in the several open documents. “Okay,” she brings the device back in front of him and quickly resumes as her way not to lose momentum. “I also needed you to take a look at the new merchandise…”

Sitting with your back against the wall with Hina’s head on your lap, you’re gently combing your fingers through her silky dark hair. You’re starting the reading of the second book when the bell rings again.

Taehyung frowns at the door.

“Are you expecting someone?” His manager inquires as he carefully stands up.

“No…” He trails unsure. She watches him take a look at the intercom to identify the visitors. His frowning deepens. “Yes?”

“Hello, mister Kim?” A female voice says.

“Yes?”

“I am Seohyung Choi from the Seoul Council.” She continues, “our agency received a call from someone concerned about- I believe if I understood correctly your niece, Kim Hina. I would like to discuss it with you.”

Hwiin doesn’t say anything and can feel alarm overwhelming Taehyung.

“Uhm-...” His pulse picks up in speed and his mouth feels dry. “I don’t understand, I-”

“There is nothing to be worried about,” Seohyung reassures him. “I simply would like to ask you a couple of questions about you and your niece, if that is possible.”

“But I- we don’t have any issue here. I me-”

“Let her in.”

Taehyung looks over his shoulder when he suddenly hears your voice.

“I’m not-” He stutters, wondering if you knew about this. “I don’t know-”

He’s panicked and your heart squeezes at the sight but you don’t dither.

“Let her in. Go change quickly. Don’t worry.”

He takes a deep breath and looks back at the intercom. “Uh.. Come in.”

“Thank you.”

He dashes to his bedroom and starts looking for clean clothes with shaking hands. He barely gives himself the time to look at his reflection to ruffle his hair. He thinks of checking on Hina who’s quietly looking at the pictures in the book you were about to read and decides not to bother her.

You watch Taehyung giving quick looks around the penthouse to make sure it is not too messy before he joins you back in the corridor leading to the entrance.  

“It’s going to be okay,” you say softly only for him to hear.

His eyes are glued to the door. “I don’t know why… I didn’t do anything wrong.”

“I know. You’ll just be answering some questions. Don’t worry.”

He doesn't know how you’re doing it but the calmness in your voice manages to sooth his nerves a little and he remembers to breathe somewhat normally.

“Should I come later?” Hwiin interjects standing up, making you and him turn your heads in her direction.

“Y-you can stay. It’s fine.” Taehyung trails while staring back again at the door. He mutters to himself, “everything’s fine.”

You step back behind and wait.

He pauses right before opening the door. A woman around her mid-thirties walks in with a warm smile and you let out a relieved sigh at her seemingly likeable air, thinking it’ll help him feel less stressed.

She takes off her shoes, smiling at you and Hwiin when she sees you two.

“Please, come in. This is ______, our bodyguard and here, Hwiin my manager.”

“It’s nice to meet you,” she grins and you both return the gesture. “You’re home is so lovely inside.”

“Ha, thank you.” He smiles shyly. “Uhm- w-would you like something to drink?”

“Oh don’t bother yourself. I’m good, thank you.”

A very brief instant passes by with everyone being quiet. You look at Taehyung.

“Maybe we should sit down.” Seohyung suggests, smiling to herself while Taehyung leads the way to the dining table with an embarrassed look, shaking his head as a way to get a grip.

“Is Hina here?”

“She’s playing in her room. Should I bring her?”

“Oh don’t. It’s good this way since I’d like to discuss with you first.”

You let him on his own not to cause any kind of extra stress and decide to keep Hina company. Taehyung notices and feels relieved you’re taking a weight off his mind. Hwiin has moved her belongings to the couch where she feigns focusing on her work.

********

“Where are you going?” you ask Hina.

“With daddy…” She pouts at you because of your sudden serious tone.

You stand up from her bed to peek outside her bedroom. Taehyung and Seohyung have left their seats and he is now showing her around.

“Okay, you can go.”

Hina walks away on her tippy toes. You see her hesitating on her tracks at the sound of an unfamiliar voice. She freezes when Seohyung crosses her path.

“Hello, you.” She crouches at her height, slightly shaking her hands. “Your name Hina’s right? Can you show me room?” She lets out a chuckle when the little girl forces her way between Taehyung’s legs to hide herself behind.

“It’s down the corridor.” He informs her when she stands up.

You walk out to let her in and lock eyes with him. He seems a lot more comfortable but gives you an interrogative look. You settle for a small supportive smile and leave them alone.

Hwiin naturally looks up at you when she feels your presence. Her mood seems to have changed.

Seohyung smiles your way when they come back. She and Taehyung sit down with Hina perched on his lap. She finishes writing down notes on her report.

“Alright, I didn’t see anything worth being raised about your household. Beside that one outlet and the window in the bathroom like I pointed it out earlier.”

Hina whines when she drops her soft toy, signaling Taehyung to get it back.

“Otherwise, it seems very secure for little Hina.” She smiles at her while Hina baby talks to her plushy. Taehyung keeps all his attention on the woman. “I’ll send you an email with all the documents needed so I can complete your dossier.”

“Alright.”

“Do you have any specific questions? Something I can shed light on?”

“I don’t think so, no.”

“Very good. Here, my contact information if something comes back to you.”

“Thank you.”

She bids her goodbye to everyone before Taehyung shows her out. You take one last glance at Hwiin whose face has turned expressionless.

*******************

You’re waiting outside the dressing room with Hina half-asleep in your arms.

Taehyung just finished performing for a show and is now discussing alone with Hwiin as she’s requested. The chair you’re sitting on has been positioned not too far from the door so you can hear it immediately when their conversation becomes heated although you can’t decipher their exact words.

The door opens a short while later. When you look up, Taehyung seems to try his best to keep himself calm. You don’t see Hwiin follow closely.

“Give her to me,” he says quietly with his arms stretched towards you. You stand up and let him hold Hina. He’s wearing the clothes he first came with so you grasp he’s ready to leave the building.

The ride back home is quiet.

He puts Hina to bed and goes shower after telling you to order dinner from his phone. You take it where he left it on the counter on his way in, unlocking it without difficulty since he didn’t set a password.

When Taehyung walks out, dressed in a simple black shirt and grey sweatpants, freshly cleaned but visibly exhausted, you are unpacking the few last dishes.

You start eating, letting the TV fill in the silence between you. You don’t mind being quiet, it just feels off when Taehyung seems elsewhere and it indirectly has you looking for ways to bring him back.

“Hey, you’re not eating that?”

He blinks and automatically hands the chicken wings left in his box.

“I’m not eating if you want it,” you smile faintly.

“I’m full you can have it.” He trails with a small pout and you take his box.

“Don’t look so dejected or I’ll lose my appetite too.”

He lifts his chin to look pensively at the small frown on your face as you bite on the food. “Sorry.”

“You want to talk about it?” You cock your head towards him, attacking a second wing.

He remains quiet a moment and you think you should’ve as well when you see his face gets darker.

“I feel abandoned.” He begins quietly. “It’s like everyone wants me to give up on the idea I could be good for Hina and it’s putting me off.”

Your lips part but you’re not sure if you mean to talk. You wipe the grease off your hands with one of the wipes given by the restaurant.

“I keep asking myself why no one’s seeing the efforts I’m making for this to work. It’s not fair... Just because I’m not practising the kind of job they think is more suited for a family life? It’s not fair...”

It really isn’t, you think. You never thought you out of all the people in his life would be among the few supporting him. You wish you had a say but you’re only left with encouraging words to repeat yet again.

You naturally reach for his knee, squeezing it a little. “I think they know you’re doing a great job. For some reason, they refuse to accept it.”

“They think Hina’s maternal grandparents would provide a more stable environment. I don’t want her to be taken away, ______.” He groans with a weak voice.

You feel a pang of sorrow when he blinks his teary eyes at you. You detest when you can’t find anything to do that could help. You reach for the second wipe, tear it open and unfold it.

“Even if they do,” you inch yourself closer to clean the stains of the dipping sauce off his mouth and explain with a soft voice. “You won’t give up on her. Because you know, it’s the right thing to do. And if you don’t, you’d prove them right.”

Taehyung quietly fixes his gaze on you with tired eyes, replaying your words in his mind. You remain silent as well, squeezing the dirty wipe in your fist, and find yourself glancing down at his lips irregularly.

Before you can feel drawn to each other even closer, you back up until reaching an appropriate distance from him and begin cleaning the table, looking away. “You should go to sleep.”

************************

Taehyung tried his best not to look too dispirited the following weeks until the day he received a mail stipulating Hina’s maternal grandparents showing themselves as the better option for her at this moment in the eyes of the court.

You couldn’t help but think it had to do with the sudden change in social workers.

You close your hands around the cup of hot tea you just made herself, eyes riveted on the grey winter sky.

You get snapped out of your reverie when you hear one of the stools being dragged as Hina tries to climb on it. Your eyes soften at her when she gives you a victorious smile and settles on her seat to eat her snack prepared by you. It’s almost dinner time but Taehyung doesn’t care.

He dressed her in a beautiful dress, you wouldn’t dare to guess the price of it.  

Taehyung joins a little after with a matching hair band in his hand. You don’t look at each other. He carefully combs her hair and places the accessory. He sits down between you and watches her eat in silence.

He props his hand on the table to rest his head on. You don’t mind him hiding from you.

“We going to the zoo again? Let’s go to the zoo.” She blinks her big eyes at him.

He combs her bangs away from her eyes and wipes his nose with the back of his hand. “Wanna go see the animals?”

She hums positively and nods at the same time bringing her eyes back on her brownie. “They don’t bite, daddy. They nice.”

Hina stretches her tiny hand to feed him some of her snacks and lingers her gaze on him for a second, thoughtful.

“We going with ______ too.”

You look away from her and lower your head.

He cleans her mouth with his thumb and jumps a little when the doorbell rings.

“I going! I going,” she chirps, jumping down from her seat with his help.

A shaky sigh that escapes him. You gently grab his forearm, addressing him with a supportive look before you both walk towards the door.

You stay behind. Hina’s now able to graze the doorknob when she stretches on her tiptoes. You wonder if this is how she looked right before you first saw her. Your face darkens.

When he opens the door, you recognize the new social worker joined by her grandparents. Everyone’s eyes on the little girl who seeks comfort behind Taehyung as she peeks up curiously.

“Hina,” calls softly her grandmother with her open arms. “Come say hi.”

She doesn’t move, tightening her grip on his pants. He pats her head while her grandmother keeps beckoning her.

“Go say hi to grandma.”

After a couple of seconds, Hina walks slowly towards the elderly couple to let them kiss her as they exchange a couple of words. Taehyung walks away to get a bag with all of Hina’s belongings.

You don’t know where to look. You try not to stare as he crouches down at the doorstep. Her grandmother tries not to look too affected when Hina hops back in his arms.

“Hina you’ll go to grandma and grandpa’s house, today.” He trails softly while putting her coat and small beanie on for her. “You’ll go with them for some time and then I’ll come see you, all right. Here, don’t forget your gloves… It’s snowing outside.”

“You coming with Hina?” She asks after fetching his black knit cap from the sideboard for him.

He takes it from her, ignoring the tightness in his chest. “No, baby. You go with them. I will come after.”

Her frown deepens as she shakes her head unsatisfied. “No, no. I stay with daddy…”

“Hina,” her grandpa’s voice earns their attention. “There are a lot of toys back home. Don’t you want to go play with them? There’s a big princess castle built an-”

She turns away to hug Taehyung’s neck, shaking her head again.

“Hina, we should go now. Come.”

He can’t help but tense at the authoritative tone the old woman uses. She goes to grab one of Hina’s arm and forces her back up on her feet.

She starts whimpering and her eyes get teary.

“Let’s try not to linger.” The social worker interjects suddenly, backing away to prompt their quick departure and get settled with it rapidly.

You look their way. Hina brings a clothed hand to her face and rubs it when a tear slides down, naturally recalling what Taehyung always told her when she’d fuss. He stands up with his head hanging and she cranes up hers to pout at him and her grandmother, baring her grief.

“Let’s go,” her grandfather prompts after taking the bag from Taehyung.

Hina drags her feet, looking back as she’s taken further and further away from him. You join Taehyung rooted in the corridor. He sniffles at the gut-wrenching sight.

“Don’t break down in front of her.” You say quietly, seeing her one last time before they turn around the corner.

He looks down at the black beanie and closes his hand tightly around it. Her crying is weaker now and Taehyung can't hold it back anymore.

You walk him back in and barely have the time to close the door before he slowly grabs onto your body, hugging you to him, seeking comfort.

You freeze in surprise a quick second and slowly lower your hands on his back, listening to him sobbing in your neck.

“Please, hold me.”

You squeeze him hard, clenching away the tears blurring your vision.

***********************

You indulge him when he asks you to spend the night in his bed, allowing him to curl in your embrace as he cries himself to sleep.

The following day, he hopes to see you still by his side but finds the other side of the bed, cold and empty.

He didn’t rest that night and the note you left on his bedside table had only awakened a headache he would’ve done without. What he reads doesn’t surprise him, Hina had been taken away from him and so did your professional duties with you.

Hwiin cannot hold back the delight of having him to herself again, steering him towards whatever she thought advantageous for him and mostly for her.

She didn’t take in account the other side of the coin. As pliable as she got him to be, his demeanor was left out of her reach.

Taehyung does the bare minimum expected from him on tv shows and interviews, he still gives his all during performances but they’re lacking and soon, Hwiin is brought to deal with unhappy and worried fans who do their utmost to discover the reason behind his dull self.

Taehyung becomes withdrawn not only around strangers but also when he’s with his parents, friends and even when he’s left alone with her  and she doesn’t stand it. She hates to witness him become the ghost of himself and this would only lead them to their downfall. Her feelings for him make it all uncomfortable.

****************

As for Hina, she isn’t doing any better.

Her grandparents have a hard time getting along with her. She’s not lacking anything but they fail filling in his absence. She struggles to get familiar with her new surroundings and their strictness does nothing but nurture her fear of them.

Her change of mood doesn’t go unnoticed by her school teacher but even her doesn’t manage to make her talk.

“This can’t go on,” her grandfather grunts sitting down on their bed, facing the window. His wife remains quiet on her side. “This isn’t benefiting any of us.”

“If she goes back with him, we’ll never be part of her life.” She places the comb back on the bedside table. “She’s everything we’ve got left of our precious Yuri.”

“Let’s not put a wall between us and him.” He reaches back when he feels her slipping beneath the sheets. “We’ve got to admit he did a good job raising her all this time despite his lack of experience… We’re not this patient anymore... It pains me to see Hina like this. We should think about it.”

She doesn’t answer and he turns back to look up at the night sky.

I hope you forgive us, Yuri.

***********************

It takes a month to Hwiin before she decides to visit mr and mrs Hiroshi. The wind is harsh on her skin as she climbs up the slope leading to their house. She tries to block the cold as much as possible, tilting her head down in the collar of her coat and ends up bumping into someone coming in the opposite direction.

“Sorry,” she apologizes instantly but the person doesn’t acknowledge her, hidden under a large hood. She stops a second wondering if they come from their house since the path doesn’t lead anywhere else but hurriedly picks up her walk again.

She pushes the intercom button but notices from afar mister Hiroshi outside sweeping the pathway from the outside door to their house.

“Hwiin, isn’t that right?” He recalls after walking up to her and greeting her. “What brings you here in this awful weather? You’re going to catch a cold.”

“Don’t worry about it,” she trails embarrassingly as she tries to think of ways to formulate her next words. “I’m sorry to bother you but I’ve come to talk to you because of Taehyung a-”

“You here to convince my wife to have Hina go back to him, aren’t you?”

“Uhm- y-yes, yes.” She blinks a little taken aback. “I- I”

“Well, you’re running a little bit late.”

She stares back, confused.

“A young woman around your age- very charming and polite by the way- just came by with the same motive. You probably saw her, she left a couple of minutes ago.”

Hwiin looks behind her, pensive. “Did she?”

ATEEZ Reaction || You call him in the middle of the night

>>> HONGJOONG <<<

You had a pretty bad day and when you come home from your shift, you badly need to talk and maybe vent to someone. 

You try calling Hongjoong but he doesn’t pick up. You give up after about three tries, remembering that he’s probably in the studio and his phone is either on silent, airplane more, or completely shut off. 

He calls you back as soon as he takes a break and checks his phone for the first time in hours. 

You playfully scold him, telling him that he shouldn’t be up this late since he’s got a schedule early in the morning, in a few hours. But you also understand that once he’s got an idea stuck in his head, he simply can’t rest until it’s written down. 

You confess that you haven’t had a very good day and despite his work, he’ll take the time to listen to you. 

Hongjoong rambles about his own day afterwards to take your mind off of your issues. He’ll talk about what he’s working on and ask your opinion on a few things before urging you to go to sleep, promising he’ll be home with you soon. 

>>> SEONGHWA <<<

When his phone starts ringing on the nightstand, he stirs almost immediately. 

He’s a little disorientated at first but as soon as he sees your name on the display, he’s wide awake. 

Seonghwa is super confused and very, very worried. You never called him this late - or this early - before. Did something happen? Were you hurt? Did you get into an accident? The wildest scenarios run through his head in the few seconds it takes for him to reach the phone and accept the call. 

“What’s up? Are you okay?”  When you hear the worry in his voice, you instantly feel bad for contacting him. You beat around the bush for a while, feeling embarrassed about the reason you were calling. 

“I just wanted to hear your voice...” 

After hearing your words, he sighs in relief and lets out a small chuckle. 

Even though Seonghwa is really tired, he talks about his day for a while and will even sing you a lullaby, if you ask nicely. 

>>> YUNHO <<<

It takes quite a while for him to wake up and realize what exactly is going on. He spends a few minutes searching for his phone, almost missing your call. 

His voice sounds hoarse and drowsy when he picks up and asks what’s up, making you feel bad for waking him up. 

“So, uhm. I’ve got a small problem. No. A big one, actually.” 

He forces himself to sit up straight and focus on your words despite still being half-asleep. “Which is?” 

“There’s a bug in my bedroom. A huge one. Like, a moth the size of my head.”

Yunho lets out a small laugh, not because he’s making fun of you, but because he finds it absolutely adorable. He also feels kind of honored that your first instinct was to call him. 

Even though it takes some convincing, he agrees to come over to save you from the vicious beast, secretly hoping you were just exaggerating when you described its size. 

>>> YEOSANG <<<

You feel lonely. ATEEZ left to go on tour around two weeks ago and while you try to keep in contact, Yeosang is often very tired after performing or busy with oversea schedules. 

Today, after an extremely stressful argument with your boss, you just need to hear your boyfriend’s voice, even if it’s only for a few seconds. 

When he picks up the phone and drowsily asks if you know what time it is, it hits you. Somehow, you completely forgot about the time difference and that it was the middle of the night for him. 

Yeosang playfully scolds you but he’s secretly very happy that you decided to call him, even if the timing wasn’t the best. 

He talks a little about the concert, keeping his voice as quiet as possible so he doesn’t wake up his roommate. 

You end up talking for almost an hour when he realizes that he has to get up soon and has to end the call, but you’re more than thankful for the time you got to have with him. 

>>> SAN <<<

San is utterly confused when he wakes up to the personalized ringtone he set for you. It’s 2am and you had met just a few hours earlier, was everything alright? 

“What’s up, love?”, he asks, trying to sound as awake as possible even though he could barely keep his eyes open. 

“I’m sorry for calling you in the middle of the night... but I had a nightmare and I can’t fall back asleep.”

He tries to comfort you, even offering to come over but you decline, knowing that he’d have to get up early and you didn’t want to inconvenience him even more. 

His comforting words turn into mindless talks about literally anything that could distract you but he’s so tired that he ends up falling asleep in the middle of the conversation. Lucky for him, the same thing happens on the other end of the line. 

>>> MINGI <<<

The sound of thunder and the flickering night sky wake you up abruptly.  Instinctively, you reach for your phone and dial your boyfriend’s number. 

Mingi blindly tries to find his phone, head still pressed into the pillow. The only sound greeting you is a barely audible “Mhm?”, indicating that he was fast asleep until know. 

“Ah, did I wake you up? I’m sorry,” you quickly apologize but Mingi tells you not to worry and that he was awake anyway, even though that was a blatant lie. He just didn’t want you to feel bad. 

“I know you don’t like thunderstorms, so I just wanted to make sure you’re okay.” He smiles softly at your words. 

The two of you talk about each other’s day, trying to distract and comfort the other through the loud noises outside. All the fear either of you had was washed away. 

You talk for a long time, a few hours until the storm is over and both of you can go back to sleep peacefully.

>>> WOOYOUNG <<<

It’s the middle of the night and you want, no, you need cuddles. And you are willing to risk an annoyed or even angry Wooyoung to get them. 

It takes a few minutes and two failed call attempts for him to wake up and pick up his phone. 

He’s cranky and does not appreciate the fact that you woke him up. When you state your reasoning, he does soften up a little, though. 

“I’ll give you a kiss if you come over and cuddle me.” “Meh.” “Two kisses?” “You got anything better?” “Fine, I’ll order pizza as well.” “I’m on my way, babe.”  

There is no way in hell he would admit that he would have come over anyway. He craves affection just as much as you do and was genuinely glad you woke him up for a cuddle session. 

>>> JONGHO <<<

Jongho doesn’t wake up by himself, Seonghwa comes over from the other room because he heard the phone ringing and shakes the maknae awake to have him pick up his call. 

“I think there’s a ghost in my apartment.” 

Once he’s awake, as awake as one can be at 3am, he listens intently. 

A part of him desperately wants to tease you but when he hears in your voice that you’re genuinely scared, he stops himself and tries to take you seriously.

You explain what kind of paranormal events have been happening recently, and especially this night. He tries to give reasonable explanations but you refute all of them.  “It’s probably your neighbor walking around upstairs.” “She’s on vacation.”  “There could be mice in the walls.” “We had an exterminator here yesterday, he said everything was clean.”

He sighs, and even though he is definitely sleep-deprived, he decides to rush over to protect you.

Heartbreak 3/3

COMPLETE MASTERLIST

PART I | PART II

PAIRING: Erik x OC

Summary: Processing a break up can be hard, especially as the perfect woman to an ungrateful asshole. Healing from heartbreak Elle finds herself finding comfort in Erik’s company but he’s offering more than just kind words as a consolation. Oh, and Erik’s the ungrateful asshole ex’s cousin.

__________________

Erik had spend the night with Elle five times in the past three weeks. It wasn’t what he did. In fact he made it a point to keep things clear with women so there was no confusion about what he wanted out of the relationship. Which, was almost always great sex without strings or any other attachments. But here he was with an arm around her watching her as she sleeps under the moonlight. Lifting his arm a touch he scoots out of bed pulling on a pair of shorts and using the restroom again before heading onto the balcony for some fresh air. This morning had been a lot; the past few weeks had been a lot.

“Earrrrrr—iiick” Elle moans feeling the rush of an orgasm as her first memory of the morning. Her second to be fair. The first a was from making out fingering and head.

“A little longer baby” his voice is tight. As he plows deep into her fast pulling out painfully slow  again and again.

“I— mmmm” she sighs gripping the sheets and on all fours. Close he flips her over so there in missionary so they can enjoy each other’s love faces. They come together resting their heads in the crook of the others necks as Erik lets his weight fall on her while catching his breath.

“Good morning” he says after a few minutes.

“No” Elle whines wrapping her legs around him to keep him in beg.

“And what you think that’s gonna do?” He asks showing off his strength and getting up with her in his arms.

“E” she giggles holding on tight. “I thought we agreed you would let me sleep in since I have a long drive home?”

“If you’re complaining I didn’t put it on you right” he comments sitting her on the counter and heading into the sectioned off toilet in the bathroom.

“I’m not complaining”

“You just wanted to hold out on me so I’d have to come to the benefit?�� He speaks knowingly and Elle smiles guiltily adjusting her night dress and getting down.

“Maybe” she comments as they switch places.

“You’d do that to me?” He laughs playfully washing his hands.

“Clearly I couldn’t” Elle admits finishing up and washing her hands too.

It had been a month since their first time and Erik found himself spending the night with her at last four nights a week. Still when he wasn’t, for work or whatever reason, he wanted to be.

“Gonna head to the gym, I’ll bring breakfast back okay. Get some sleep” Erik comments getting an eye roll in response. “I’d work you out some more but like you said you have a long drive” he comments slapping her ass as she heads back to the bedroom.

“How do you even have all this energy?” She yawns.

“I don’t need a lot of sleep, call me if you need anything alright?” He asks turning to ding her eyes are already closed as she sleeps snuggled into his king sized bed.

He’d always known what kind of girl Elle was and did his best to stay away knowing he wasn’t someone that was up to her standard. He’d told Aaron those very words when they went to pick some things up from Claire, the woman who had fostered him. That was before his first tour overseas, then just like that Elle was Aarons girlfriend. He’d heard all about it from his aunt and Aarons mother on the phone. She’d do anything for her shit of an offspring and apparently tracking his girlfriend after a breakup was within reason. Especially since, as his aunt put it Elle had walked away with Erik. He could see the scandal now, it was just another reason for everyone to turn on him.

“E?” Elles voice takes him out of his thoughts. This wasn’t how she’d come to know him - he was almost always present.

“You alright, you have to go?” She asks her eyes shining and sincere.

“Nah, I’ll be back in a minute kitten” he winks.

“Somethings on your mind that you have to handle, you’ve been in and out since you got that call” she speaks and he smiles at her intuitiveness. “Go handle it it’s fine” Elle swallows tip-toeing for a quick peck and Erik deepens it. It wasn’t a call, work never stressed him out it was the opposite.

“I’ll see you tomorrow” he promises meaning it and he leaves.

He’d tried shaking his feelings for her but it felt like trying to stop a train going a full steam ahead. He’d never been a relationship kind of guy, more the stop by to knock your socks off kind. Erik never had the time or the energy to put his trust in people other than hisself because, in his experience it almost never ended well. Knocking at the door it takes ten minuted and a text before its answered. Wade looks up at him with a surprised expression before wheeling back to let Erik in.

“You do a job without me, Kill?” He asks wheeling into the elevator taking him to his man-cave.

“Nah”

“How are you and the girls”

“They’re good man, Shayla was asking when you’re gonna come by the other day. You haven’t been here eating my wife’s cooking and teaching my daughters shit they don’t need to know in a few weeks” His best friend comments.

Erik smiles in reflection, “Those lil niggas bad as hell”

“Don’t call them that, they’re little girls” Wade reminds wheeling around to his couch and getting in comfortably.

“Hows therapy”

“Kill, you’re scaring me, this could be a call. You come here at three in the morning for this?”

“It’s fucked up man but ain’t shit I can do about it” Erik swallows looking into his hands and taking a deep sigh. “Remember Elle?”

“I still don’t know how Aaron pulled her” Wade comments before panic crosses his expression. “What happened?” He sits forward.

“They broke up and uhh, we started…” Erik thinks of words more respectful than fucking. “We got together, I had no plans — I mean I flirt with her because she’s fine but, man Wade.” Erik sighs. “I don’t want to be here right now with you, I’d rather be with her. I can’t sleep if I’m not with her, not properly and I’ve never cared about a woman like I care for her.” Erik explains.

Wade swallows feeling for Erik knowing much of his past. They’d been friends since MIT and went to war together. Yin and Yang, put them into any situation and they’d get it done. Wade was an intelligence wizard, Erik a tactical genius.

“When you care about people you hold them down. Lets not forget you crossed enemy lines during an ambush when I stepped on a mine and lost the first leg. You’re fearless E. For you to get involved at all — Aaron ain’t shit but you wouldn’t cross that line with her if you didn’t care. Stop thinking — you’re not good at that; just act.” Wade advises and Erik swallows until a controller is tossed at him.

“Come on” Wade says and they move forward playing.

….

Elle smiles standing as she mingles around the annual fundraiser. The cause were underprivileged kids. Let adults dress up all fancy to feel important and they dig into their pockets and are quite generous.

Each forced smile seemed to happen easier and easier until it wasn’t such a task to pretend that she was happy to be at the benefit. Erik hadn’t called in hours or showed up to see her off on her travel out of town.

Maybe it was too much, maybe it was too fast? Still Erik has no problem expressing himself another time.

“Elle, you look gorgeous - I’ll get Larry to dig deep for the kids” Agnes one of her clients says kissing her cheek and whispering the last part.

“Thanks Ag” Elle smiles. “You chose the right venue” Elle adds looking around at the space - making the older woman beam with pride.

“No worries where’s your arm candy? You know a nice accessory can go far” she adds being terrible. Larry nor her three previous three husbands stood a chance against her charm.

“I’m here by myself” Elle admits.

“Hmm” Agnes ponders not even feigning sadness.  “A breakup?”

“You can say that”

“Don’t tell me he cheated” she whispers in a sarcastic tone pretending to be surprised. She’d watched Aaron flirt at their first benefit and told Elle to dumb him from then.

“My neighbour is a young eligible bachelor and you’re just his type!” She sings with excitement.

“Agnes let’s focus on the kids” you mutter and her brows bunch you turn to see Aaron in a suit and tie. In all the years you were together it was a battle to get him to these fundraisers, to show his face and support the cause. Now he’s here. Just like that.

“I thought you said…” Agnes trails putting on a fake smile as he gets closer.

“We aren’t together I don’t know why he’s here!” Elle specifies turning to Agnes and backing Aaron.

“Babe, Agnes” Aaron greets with enough gall to walk up to both women. Worst of all acting like they weren’t broken up. Elle steps back pushing him away to create distance.

“What are you doing here?” She whispers offended.

“Are you gonna turn away money?” He asks still playing games and Elle shakes her head in disgust.

“Stop it, I’m here like you want me to be. Alright?” He whispers sternly before smiling.

“I’m not your babe” Elle tells him loud enough that everyone within two feet can hear. His eyes widen in alarm before it becomes a warning to stop and be more discrete. Aaron isn’t one for glass houses shattering and anything aside from the mirage of a perfect relationship.

“Hey” a familiar voice says and the minute Agnes’ eyes widen Elle smiles knowing just who it belongs to as his hand holds her hip planting a quick kiss on her cheek. She feels all fuzzy inside just like that, getting goosebumps. Erik had maintained schmoozing and throwing money around with corporate fucks was not his thing and that he had no intention of participating.

“You came” Elles beams as she admires Erik and his ensemble for the night looking delectable. Black suit, white pinstripes, tailored to perfection, white fitted shirt. Agnes smiles at the unmistakable chemistry between the two as they eye each other like they’re the only two people in the room.

“For the kids right, and it’s important to you” Erik says aloud eyes look at Elles to examine if she’s okay in Aaron’s presence. His hand gives her hip a quick squeeze as his bow raises ever so slightly.

Whats he doing here?

His expression asks.

“I’m Agnes, I’ve been working with Elle for some time now, are you new?” Agnes introduces eyeing Erik in approval without any consideration for Aaron.

“No he’s my cousin Agnes” Aaron interjects making the older woman light up like a Christmas tree in excitement at the messiness of it all.

“My pretty baby’s a genius” she smiles hugging Elle. “Why don’t you leave before you embarrass yourself young man” Agnes says making Elle turn bright red as she addresses Aaron.

This won’t end well.

“Elle are you out of your fucking mind?” Aaron grits taking her hand and walking out of the venue way too fast. She barely stays on her feet being pulled along behind him silently to avoid from a further scene. “You better not be fucking him!” Aaron barks with a finger in her face once they’re outside. “We’re leaving now!” He grabs her more violently this time.

His grip is iron and sure to bruise but it only lasts a second before he is shoved back. Aaron stumbles before catching his balance before getting in fighting stance only to hit the floor moments later.

———

“Erik” Elle moans trying to be obedient and hold still during her punishment.

“You didn’t call me when you should have the second he showed up” Erik says onto her neck making goosebumps rise.

Erik had swooped in like her night in shining armour. It was a two hit situation. Erik hit Aaron, Aaron hit the floor.

“Since you like to be uncomfortable, here you go” he swallows.

“Erik” she wines some more feeling his full length inside her. Stretching her out while they sit stationary and he plays his stupid sniper games while inside her.

“What you should have been saying into your phone, look at my hand” he stated showing Elle his bruised knuckles.

“Baby please, I was shocked, I didn’t know what to do” Elle whispers and he seems to only get harder. He swallows trying to keep from thrusting himself. “Baby, Erik .... Daddy... Sir” she sputters with her eyes closed. His fingers massaging her clit adding to the torment of having him inside her.  His free hand wraps around her neck.

“Did I say you could talk?” He asks sliding out to give the both of them some relief. When he makes no effort to start Elle turns to face him. His eyes are clouded with too much to read through and she leans in stopping halfway to be granted permission. His lips find her, controlling the pace of the kiss, rough, passionate and dominating. When he pulls away she’s left breathless feeling a wave of emotions stronger than she’d felt.

He’d been there, with few words, more consistent than anyone ever had been. Not for any recognition either. Not to tell people about all the things he did for her, not to throw it in her face, just to be there. Incredible sex too. Just the way she’d always wanted. Punishments or not it always felt good.

Her arms wrap around his neck as she leans forward hugging him. Eriks taken back by the gesture. It takes a few moments for it to register before he holds her in place rubbing her back over the material of her nightdress. Everything changes. He kisses her cheek.

“I got you” he promises. “Always, Elle” he pulls away needing eye contact. She nods tears in her eyes.

“Thank you Erik” she whispers and he can feel the emotion between them as he wipes her tears away pulling his shorts back up and heading with her to his bedroom. “You were distant and I didn’t know what was happening between us” she admits and he looks devastated.

Elle knows it’s going to be different when she looks in his eyes. He leaves a trail from her shoulder, up her neck and to her lips before taking her dress off. It’s not long before the kissing ends up on the bed. Sensual, slow, seductive. His hands caress all the right spots as he gets his pleasure from her letting go and blossoming for him. He was going to show her how she felt again and again, like he had today, like he had continuously shown up for her.

Her bedroom eyes are the sexiest thing to him. Her hands hold him rubbing his sides as he enters lowering to close the distance between them. It’s far from fucking. Every stroke feels better than the previous and pressure builds in no time at all overcoming the both of them.

“Fuck” Erik grits with every stroke at the perfect pace. He stops hoping to last longer and they switch positions he sits against the headboard. Elle straddles him grinding at the perfect tempo. He reaches for the clip holding her hair up and lets it down falling just a little past her shoulders. His woman is beautiful, he’d never give her cause or reason to look for anything he could give outside of their relationship.

There’s no need for words.

“It’s perfect” she shudders continuing until her body seizes up. Erik switches positions to missionary. He was making love to her, slowly, passionately, attentively. It was something he never did. He couldn’t fake it.

“You’re perfect” he grits closing his eyes as she tightens around his manhood.

“Erik... Baby” her voice rises a few octaves. His lips find hers for a moment before she feels him filling her up. The rush is everything as his fingers interlock with hers. Their breaths sync as he lay on top of her before rolling onto their sides still connected.

“I love you Elle” Erik says his insecurity vanished the second she smiles after closing her eyes in what is relief and gratitude.

“I love you too Erik” she affirms.

“Must be some after sex talk” Erik jokes finally pulling out and getting something to clean her off with.

“You called me Elle” she notes finished with the bathroom and cleaned up as he changes the sheets.

“You liked that?” He asks and she shrugs with a smile catching her breath again as he laughs.

“That was...” Elle sighs out of relief. “I needed that thanks” she admits.

“I know” he nods. “That I’m here princess, whenever you need me, however you need me to be. Don’t forget it alright kitten?”

“I won’t” she smiles.

Fin.

Chapter 3: The three musketeers meet the fourth

———————————————————————–

Feeling the warm embracement of the sun and newfound fresh air of this breathtaking view was unbelievable. I can’t believe I will be living here for the next couple of years. I feel utterly nervous as I look towards hogwarts in its massive size.

Then it hits me.

I am going to have to start over. It was easy back when I first arrived to Ilvermorny. Everyone was young and new so making them believe my cover story was simple. Now, I’m going to have to try and blend in with an older crowd and explain my self with a bit more confidence and detail I don’t know if I have. I feel like throwing up as the nerves turns to anxiety and stress. I can feel my heart in its harsh rhythm of ba-bump, ba-bump, ba-bump, ba-

“Miss. Y/l/n.” I hear and the sound my heart fades from ears and I turn slowly to the headmaster. I look up at him and do my best to not seem as anxious as I feel. “Welcome to Hogwarts. Let’s get you settled.”

He tells me and hearing his calm voice allows me to reign my feelings in. 

“Thank you.” I say quietly and we make our way up the steps and inside Hogwarts. 

We reach his office which is enormous in size, but I shouldn’t have expected less for the headmaster. There is bookshelves filled to the brim with every size and color of books and every now and then a knick-knack or two, paintings of scenery’s that move in memory and portraits of people that I assume are famous here. Then what surprises me the most is that there is a phoenix on its own pedestal that dies and comes back to life. 

“Ah yes. You caught eye of Fawkes. He has a dramatic flair as he gets older for bursting into flames and then rebirths himself anew from his ashes.” He shares with me. 

“Why does he do that?” I ask curious to know why the phoenix finds it necessary.

“Why? To keep up his immortality...or so he tells me.” He says in a matter of fact kind of way trying to humor me. “Please have a seat.” I walk up the steps and have a seat in an wooden leather cased chair before his desk. 

“As we walked in, I’m sure you remember seeing our Head Boy and Head Girl greet us and take your bags to your room. We have accommodated you a room with three other bright students here at Hogwarts.” He says with a smile. “After reviewing your file, I thought it wasn’t necessary to have you go through the hat ceremony and decided you’d be fit for Gryffindor.”

“Gryffindor?” I ask unaware of the customs here.

“Ah yes. We have four houses like yours at Ilvermorny. Here we have Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin. Mostly distinct by their robe color and mascot.”

”Really? That’s cool.” I gleam. Hogwarts is not so different after all. Maybe I shouldn’t be too nervous.

“Once you have settled in your room. Your roommates can take you on a tour of the school and help you get settled. I have here a paper of your schedule. Just ask the students with anything you might have questions on regarding the class and please don’t hesitate to ask me anything.” He handed me a parchment of paper that has my classes and time printed on it for the week.

“I do have one question.” I say and I can feel the anxiety bubble up in my body. “Can you tell me when I can travel overseas? Being in Scotland is a lot closer to Austria where my mother is buried. I would like to visit her grave sometime.” 

He didn’t seem too fazed by the question and instead showed me sympathy in his eyes. “I would gladly provide you with permission anytime you’d like but I believe traveling on the weekends is best and we do have annual holidays as well that you won’t need permission to go overseas.”

“Thank you.” I say and give a small smile back. It was never ideal travel for me when I was at Ilvermorny and permission and time was limited, but now that I’m a lot closer to home I don’t think it would be much a problem now and I was right.

“Right. Well I also have here a small pamphlet and some papers on how things work around here, like mealtimes and curfews. There should also be a list of activities that take place here at school, you know sports events and clubs. Then the school holidays and events.” He hands the papers and I glance over them. “I must say being a transfer student this late in the school year is not all that bad and you’re not the only one. Let’s get you to your room, shall we?” He questions chirpily and smiles brightly as he stands and I follow after him. We don’t have to walk too far to get to the tower of Gryffindor. 

“This here is the portrait of the fat lady although it is a horrible term.” He gestures the last part to the portrait who gives him a shy smile back. “She opens the door to the tower with a password created specifically for this tower only.”

“So you’re saying all the towers have their own password?”

“Correct. It’s like magical security.”

“Hmm. So what’s the password to this tower?” I ask.

“The password is caput aquilae.”

“Caput aquilae. The head of the eagle.”

“Well someone knows their Latin!” Says the fat lady portrait impressed.

“It was a class I took at Ilvermorny for fun. I guess it’s come in handy now.”

“Why yes it has.” Says Headmaster Dumbledore.

The portrait opens to allows us through its door and I’m greeted in a cozy atmosphere with red décor and a fireplace that is lightly brewing. Some students are hanging about talking or reading in the lounge chairs around the room. I look over and see someone with red hair come down the stairs and greet Dumbledore with a bright smile.

“Headmaster Dumbledore! What a lovely surprise.”

“Ah, yes, Miss. Lily. I came by to introduce you to your new roommate, y/n y/l/n, has arrived.” He says and gestures towards me.

“Oh hi. I’m Lily Evans.” 

“Hello, I’m y/n.” 

“Well Dumbledore I do believe I can take it from it here.”

“Of course, Miss. Evans and y/n again welcome to hogwarts.” He says with a smile that never left his lips.

“Thank you, Headmaster.” I say and return the smile back. Now this is where I have to tread lightly. 

“So, shall we see our room first? Your bags arrived not too long ago.” She says with a kind cherry smile. 

“Sure.” I say and she leads me up the stairs. We enter what’s our room now and it’s more spacious than I expected. With four big poster beds adorned in red velvet and two big windows on left side wall and a fireplace across from the door where I stand with bean bag seats by it. 

“I know this must be a lot to take in.”

“A little yeah. At Ilvermorny, we each had our own rooms and well the surprise move from finding out that I’m being transferred all in one day is still a bit of a shock.”

“No way. All in one day? Wow, that’s weird, but it is short notice since school starts next week.”

“Right. So which one is mine?” I ask her. She points to the second bed, furthest from the door on the left wall. 

“That one. My bed is next to yours. Then across from me is our other roommate, Dorcas and next to her Marlene. The bathroom door is in between their beds and we each have our trunk and closet that’s split in two for us to share.” Lily explains.

“Thanks. When will I meet the others?”

“Probably soon. Dorcas just went out for a second and Marlene should be back soon from quidditch practice.”

“What’s quidditch?” 

“Oh that’s-“ Lily is interrupted as a dark-skinned girl with short curls walks in happily with flowers in her hands. 

“Oh hello.” She says. So this is either Dorcas or Marlene.

“I’m Dorcas Meadowes. Are you our new roommate?” She says and quickly puts down the flowers on her bed near her and walks over to me to shake my hand.

“Yes. I’m y/n. y/l/n. Nice to meet you.”

“Nice to finally meet you. We’ve been excited all week when we heard we are going to get a new roommate.” 

“Ah well here I am.” I say trying to lighten the mood at this situation. I’m never good with introductions.

“Has she met Marlene yet? Have you met Marlene?” Dorcas turns to Lily and then back to me asking if I’ve met Marlene very quickly.

“No, not yet.” Lily says.

”Well then we better pr-“ before Dorcas can finish what she was about to say, a girl caked in mud head to toe along with what I could tell were grass stains and not smelling the best either rushed in and was rambling loudly about “slimy cheating dirty fucking snakes”, on her way to the bathroom. Lily and Dorcas both turns towards me and say, “That’s Marlene.”

Lily Evans, Dorcas Meadowes, Marlene McKinnon

What is the 1 thing you’ll bring to a deserted island? - Lighter.

Tell us 1 secret! - Right now, I’m at the heaviest weight in my life. It’s not muscle but fat… (lol). [Em - we saw the calendar. Didn’t you have a 6 pack?]

If you have a chance for a redo in life, what age will you go back to? - 10 years old. The year I joined Johnny’s & Associates. That said, I don’t want a redo.

What will you do if the world will end in 3 days? - Even though it’s impossible, I want to have 1 live concert.

If 100 points is the perfect score, how many points are you? - Around 50 points. When I need to get to 100%, I will go at it with all my might, but when I’m unwinding, I will use close to 0% of energy to unwind.

What are you addicted to? - Cleaning. Although I love cleanliness, when people come over for dinner and spilled stuff, I also don’t care. That’s because I love to put away the mess. However, I hate having dirty stuff lying around, so when everyone’s relaxing, I’ll start vacuuming. Perhaps I’m an annoying host (lol).

Tell me Inoo’s allure! - Talk power. He honed those skills through “Mezamashi TV”. It feels very comforting to go on location shoots with him in the variety programs.   

Tell me Yaotome’s allure! - His “ojisan-like” personality. He can take a nap wherever he goes. There are moments when that side of him will shine spectacularly as an item (special feature?) of JUMP, so in that sense, he is very reliable.

Tell me Yabu’s allure! - Although he is the oldest, he doesn’t act like “I need to get a hold of myself” a lot. Because of that, the people who are younger than him can feel at ease.  Because we have Yabu-chan, we are able to things confidently, he is truly a reliable bigger brother.

Send a message to Okamoto Keito! - Keito, when are you coming back? How is winter in New York? It’s probably very cold, right? I want to tell you about the live tour, and I also want to hear about your New York life!

How I, An Incredibly Anxious Traveller, Solo Travelled Through Bulgaria

Nobody really asks, but I can see their eyes secretly wonder “why” when I tell someone I’m travelling to Bulgaria for a little holiday. The short answer is … I don’t really know. It wasn’t because I have some ever-present burning desire to visit Bulgaria. My going to Bulgaria was just a holiday booked on a whim, because Ryanair had a sale. It ended up working out well, but I didn’t have many expectations, let alone knowledge about Bulgaria before I went. I booked it quite simply because I had never been before, and because I had never thought about going. Usually people opt for the opposite.

The short of it is: I booked this holiday because I was homesick. I was still at home when homesickness struck. I was looking out at seven months without a hug from my mom, seven months without laying eyes on my dad, or my dog, or my sisters or brother. Seven months of solitude in Scotland, before my family planned to visit in July — planned but had not (and still have not!) booked yet. And I was sad, and I already missed everyone, and I wanted to go to New York over March Break, so I could meet up with my mom and sister. (It’s cheaper to fly to New York than Thunder Bay, not cheap, but cheaper).

Then, my sister told me not to. Not because she didn’t want me there but because, in her words: “If you live in Europe you should be going somewhere in Europe that you’ve never been to before, and take advantage of how close you are to new places, and how cheap it is to travel, rather than spending a lot of money to going across the Atlantic to somewhere you’ve been to tons of times.” So I went to Skyscanner and I saw a cheap flight to Sofia and I thought, ‘huh, I’ve never thought about going to Bulgaria before,’ and then I booked it.

The flight cost me 52GBP. I then started looking at Airbnbs and came across the most beautiful little apartment, with glowing reviews, for $32CAD/night and booked it. I was set. A little holiday in Sofia, Bulgaria. I pictured old Soviet style buildings mixed in with Orthodox churches. I envisioned a quaint, old town style city that was quiet, calm, and comfortable.

I started to look into things to do and realised I could do day trips to Macedonia and Serbia! I realised how close Sofia is to other Balkan countries and immediately started looking into getting my International Drivers Permit so I could rent a car and road trip. I looked at doing the day trips, but they were too pricey for one person (I’m talking like three hundred pounds!). I went through the process. I took passport pictures, I sent them to my dad, he took them to CAA, he got my IDP, he sent it to me, I booked a car. I planned on spending a day in Sofia, and then doing day trips to Skopje, Niš, and Thessaloniki. And then I got to the rental pick up and they said I couldn’t cross borders. Cool.

Processed with VSCO with m5 preset

As planned, I spent my first day in Sofia. It was weird. I remembered as I was leaving that, while I haven’t been really badly anxious in awhile, I have a long history of travel anxiety. Exactly five years ago I was just south of Bulgaria, in Greece. It was a school trip, and I almost didn’t go because I was so anxious. I spent seven months before that trip going to counselling specifically so that I could go on it. I threw up the morning we left, I spent the day crying to my family in Toronto, and then I got on the plane headed overseas, and in the end I was fine. The first time I actually properly travelled alone was in October 2018, when I went hiking in Ireland. Except one of my closest friends lives in Dublin, so it hardly counts because I knew I could go to her if I needed her.

And then I found myself alone in Bulgaria, apparently in my homesick, adventurous spirit state, I forgot to factor in my anxiety disorder. Weirdly, it was relatively OK. I walked around the city centre, I bought postcards, I sat in the sun, in a park, I went and got coffee, I sat in the park some more. I bailed on all of my walking tours because my feet hurt, (but lowkey because I was afraid to talk to people) and I went back to my Airbnb early. I ate granola and yogurt for dinner because I was too stressed to go out and try to tackle the language barrier to get myself a proper dinner. Try again tomorrow.

The second day I picked up my car. I went for groceries at Lidl and then I tackled the metro, taking it out to the airport, and then I realised I could easily have just managed with the metro alone. But the car was already booked, so off I went! I picked up the keys, sat in the drivers seat, gave myself a pep talk, reminded myself of the ‘how to drive in a roundabout’ videos I had watched on Youtube the night before, started the ignition and drove off. And it. Was. Fine. Since I couldn’t cross borders, I drove to the Rila Monastery. Tucked into the mountains, it’s one of the oldest (maybe the oldest) Orthodox monastery in the world. I’m not religious, I was raised Catholic, and I don’t majorly care about these things but I thought it might be cool so I went. And it was cool.

I drove on the highway (very fast, might I add!) and I drove on tiny side streets and I drove up the mountain and it took me two whole hours because I took so many wrong turns. I was constantly stressed about my phone (my navigation) dying. But I made it. There was snow on the ground that people were ice-picking at so that it would melt. I went into the church, I saw monks, I paid to visit the museum and saw some icons (housing some relics!), and I got to be in the mountains and breath in the forest air. I bought some postcards, then I did one whole sign of the cross and then I left. I think I spent less than an hour there, but I was tired and hungry so I went back to my Airbnb, it took me only an hour and a half to get back to Sofia that time around. When I got to the Airbnb, parking was a total nightmare. My driveway backed on to a tiny side street, I had to back in, through the gates of the drive, while not hitting the car parked on the single lane street. It took a solid 10 minutes, and after I was thoroughly humiliated by anyone who might be watching, I decided not to take the car out again until I was leaving.

On my third day I explored Sofia some more. I gave myself a morning pep talk, consisting of a lot of ‘you’re only in Sofia for today, make the most of it, just barrel on full steam ahead, don’t let the language barrier get to you. It’s fine.’ So I googled ‘best coffee in Sofia’ and headed off to the first hit. I walked through new parts of the city centre, saw new churches, new parks, new shops, and I walked far and wide. I shopped a bit, I ate a bit, and then I went for a nap. But I would not be defeated by the restaurant situation, so I forced myself to go out and get dinner. For context, I am realising as I write this, restaurants are a no-go for my anxiety. Nowadays, after a lot of hard work, I don’t really think much about eating out, but when I first went to counselling it was the first thing we worked on in exposure therapy, and suddenly it makes sense to me why I was so reluctant to try to figure out how to eat out in Sofia. Regardless, it happened, I had a yummy salad and hummus and coffee and it was grand.

Sunday was my fourth and final day. I woke up exhausted. Tired of having to figure everything out myself, tired of having so many thoughts and no one to express them to, and just tired because the hosts of the Airbnb had been listening to salsa music late into the night. I decided to try driving to Plovdiv for a bit to explore. It took about an hour and a half to get there, and then about another 45 minutes to try to find parking. I found a spot that I’m not sure I was allowed to park in, and when I got out I felt defeated. I didn’t want to try to find fun things to do, I was already looking forward to going gas station shopping on the way back to Sofia so I thought ‘that’s it, you’re enjoying driving, just drive.’

So I drove through Plovdiv, and then I headed back to Sofia Airport, I enjoyed the gas station stop, and then I returned my car. Then I spent the rest of my last day at Sofia Airport, reading one of those airport-mystery books that I had picked up in Edinburgh Airport on my way out. It was a quiet, cozy Sunday, very relaxing, and it just so happened that I spent it at Sofia Airport.

Moral of the story: There is no ‘right way’ to travel, it’s YOUR holiday, just do whatever you want! If you’re tired at three pm and you want to have a lay down, do that. It’s okay. You’re not missing anything other than hurting your feet and making yourself kind of miserable and grouchy for the next day. If you’re somewhere and you decide you’re done, if you want to sit in a park, or a cafe, or all you want to do is food tour after food tour, do it. Don’t bother with trying to do what other people are doing when they’re travelling, unless it looks like something you want to do. If you try it and realise it’s not what you want to do: that’s okay. Loads of people will read through this and think “well that’s kind of a waste of time” but I feel like I made the most of my trip! I saw tons of new places, had new experiences, but I don’t feel drained now that I’m home. I had the right balance of adventure and exploration, and rest and relaxation.

The only picture of my face in Bulgaria

Solo travelling selfies, am I right?

So what was Bulgaria like? 

In terms of Sofia + Bulgaria

Sofia is nice, Bulgaria is nice. Sofia is so much bigger than expected, and Bulgaria even more so. Sofia did have Soviet architecture, and Orthodox churches, but it also had very Cuban-esque run down architecture, and a handful of western shops and then a lot of random other shops. It had a lot of greenspace, and a lot of people, but not a TON of tourists (at least not English-speakers). There are mountains everywhere, and it was warmer than expected. Not everyone speaks English, in all the touristy areas they’ll try, or they’ll do what they can to make it work. I found that people, generally, weren’t super friendly like I’m used to, people don’t smile at you in the street if you don’t smile first, and check-out workers are generally in a bad mood (but who can blame them).

In terms of driving

Don’t drive in Bulgaria if you are not a confident driver. I have anxiety problems, yes, but I’m a good driver. I am a bit of a risky driver, but I’m a good driver, and those are the two things (it turns out) that you need in order to not die or crash while driving in Bulgaria. Highways are lawless, you need to know how to use them, and you need to simultaneously be both an aggressive and defensive driver. It was actually kind of perfect for my driving style. There are tons of beautiful views everywhere, and tons of wild drivers doing weird things too, which constantly made me want to have someone in the passenger seat.

Have you solo travelled? Are you an anxious traveller? Have you put the two together yet? Talk with me about it in the comments!

Brooks Koepka is the best men’s golfer in the world and it’s not close

If the majors are how we measure the game’s stars, then Koepka is far and away the best out there. He did not have his best stuff on Sunday at the PGA and it didn’t even matter for the new world No. 1.

At the Masters last month, Bob Koepka was following his kid Brooks, who happened to be back on top of yet another major championship leaderboard, down in Amen Corner. After some pre-tournament drama about how he’d lost too much weight for a vanity magazine shoot, Koepka was back to doing what he does at major championships. He’d opened with a first-round 66 and appeared on his way to perhaps a third major in four starts. Koepka is a machine at the game’s biggest events and he was going to work again at Augusta.

Only his dad was half-watching Brooks and half-watching the group behind, where Justin Rose was playing. Bob had taken Rose in his one-and-done pool so wanted to keep tabs on the Englishman battling to make the cut. But what about your own kid? He crushes it at the majors and here he is leading again at the game’s biggest event! Forget about Rose! Your kid is leading and you should have taken him for your pool! Don’t you regret not taking him?

“Nah, I figured I’ll use him for the PGA.”

It turns out Bob Koepka is good at raising superstar golfers and also PGA Tour one-and-done pools. Taking Brooks for any major at this point, however, is not exactly rocket science. The Masters? Sure, go for it. His length off the tee and all-around game will be a tasty choice there for years. The PGA Championship? At Bethpage? Absolutely, he’s perfectly suited and the favorite for a reason. The U.S. Open? Sure, why not, he’s won the last two of them. How about the Open overseas? That style of golf has to throw him for a loop, right? Well, uh, he’s been inside the top 10 in his last two starts there, too.

John David Mercer-USA TODAY Sports

Brooks and his dad Bob Koepka.

So this week comes as a surprise to no one. Koepka did what he does at the majors and became the first player in the history of golf to hold back-to-back U.S. Opens and back-to-back PGA Championships. He’s now won four of his last nine major starts and even when he’s not winning, he’s around rattling the cage of the leaders. Like Tiger coming at you in his peak, Brooksy coming will only continue to be the most nerve-wracking of chaser options if you happen to be a leader at a major.

This was not a convincing Sunday stroll but Koepka got it done in some brutal conditions at one of the very toughest major venues out there. Some idiots, like me, presumed the entire championship over on Friday night and then dared to envision Brooks winning this in Tiger-at-Pebble like fashion. None of that materialIzed on the weekend and instead went the other way on Sunday for Koepka. His seven-shot margin at the start of the day evaporated to just a single shot with about an hour to go in the championship.

Dustin Johnson, Brooks’ box-jumping partner and best friend down in South Florida, had put the pressure on just a couple groups ahead and seemed to be the only player in the field moving in the right direction. Koepka, on the other hand, looked like everyone else in the field just desperately hanging on and simply trying to make a par. He said after the round he didn’t think he played that poorly, but he could not find a fairway and that is deadly at Bethpage Black. There are bogeys and doubles and triples all over the course but it took Koepka 28 holes to make his first bogey this week. Then he made four in a row late on Sunday and the crowd started chanting “DJ! DJ! DJ!” right to his face as his cushion melted and his self-proclaimed “I don’t feel pressure” axiom was put to the test.

But then DJ remembered this was a major and not The Barclays and immediately gave two shots back with consecutive bogeys at the 16th and 17th holes. Koepka stopped the bleeding with pars at the tougher 15th and 16th holes and it felt like a wrap. It felt like a wrap on Thursday night and while the pictures weren’t pretty on Sunday, it’s unclear if that short span of tension on Sunday makes Koepka now human or just reinforces that he’s the farthest thing from a Greg Norman or lesser modern star that would have kept bleeding it away down the back nine. There was tension and nothing about the outcome changed. Even the automaton himself admitted the round was “stressful” and that he did not want to play another hole of golf after sneaking into the clubhouse two clear of the field.

We’ve seen him now win majors on soft courses, windy courses, firm courses, bomber’s courses, and courses considered strategic masterpieces. We’ve seen him come from behind on the weekend and win from in front on the weekend. We’ve seen him hold on under the pressure of this vanishing margin and in the mania of Tiger whipping St. Louis crowds into a frenzy while making at charge at him.

It was Tiger’s former caddie Stevie Williams that pulled back the curtain on this possibility four years ago in an interview with Golf Digest. Williams looped for Tiger when he played the greatest golf of all time and was caddying for Adam Scott, whose swing is often drooled over as the very best in the world. Rory McIlroy had dominated the preceding summer and appeared to be the lead post-Tiger superstar. Jordan Spieth had won the Masters matching Tiger’s record score at Augusta. But Williams focused on Koepka, who had yet to make much of a dent in the States and in major championships.

“Once in a great while, a player comes along who hits a golf ball the way it was meant to be hit. Powerful, piercing, the perfect trajectory. Of the young players out there, one I’ve seen has that special ball flight: Brooks Koepka. Adam and I were paired with him at the Open Championship last year, and from his first tee shot on, I thought, This kid is special. Obviously he’s searching to find the other parts of the puzzle, but I haven’t seen a ball flight like that since Tiger, and before that, Johnny Miller.”

Williams could be a detestable goon but he did know the sight and sound of a different kind of a strike better than maybe anyone on the planet.

Four years later, Koepka has come the closest to approximating anything that Tiger did with Williams. That will never be done again, but Koepka has come the closest of any of these superstars in the carousel since Tiger ran into the fire hydrant a decade ago. He played with Tiger for two days this week when all the hype had been on Woods resuming his chase for Jack Nicklaus’ record and then beat him by 17 shots over 36 holes.

Koepka can be dry and too cool for school. When he came up, he was reputedly cocky and now that he’s winning majors at this clip, he’s started to talk his shit publicly. He’s gone at colleagues for slow play, called out Sergio Garcia for “acting like a child” when every other pro went soft and said nothing, and point blank said he’s more focused and unbothered than anyone out there. The delivery can be dry but the content is absolutely not boring. It may have been in the past but not anymore if you’re paying attention. Here’s hoping yet another major will free him up to talk his shit even more. He’s earned it.

Pro golf is deeper than ever and four-in-nine may not be a sustainable pace, but there’s no reason to think he won’t be near the top of the leaderboard again in a month in the final round at Pebble Beach. This is what he does at the majors and if you’re in a one-and-done pool and somehow haven’t used him yet, please write him in now for either Pebble or Portrush.

[B-PASS] Da-iCE NEXT PHASE

In order for Da-iCE to go to the NEXT PHASE, the members discuss what it is necessary for each of them to do. From positive things to earnest dismissals?!?

First of all, shall we about Toru and what he needs to do?

Taiki: Starting from me. I'd like to see Toru-kun with his bangs clipped up! I have seen him with split bangs, but never with them tied up Hayate: I'd like to see Toru with short hair for a while. Toru: It was so long that I surprised myself yesterday. I came back from Nagoya by bullet train and I saw myself through a mirror in the bathroom at Tokyo University Station, "I grew out my hair?" (laughs). It grew considerably in just one hour! Yudai: Certainly, it keeps growing! Taiki: It seems you can’t go to sleep on the bullet train without it growing Toru: It really grows so fast. Fufufu Taiki: I want to see Toru-kun's sexy raised bangs image

What does Yudai-kun need to do?

Taiki: Yudai should do a jazz part, a solo jazz part! I took jazz lessons in the past, and I seriously think he’d be good at it. He should try it on tour. Hayate: I can imagine it, and I think it would also be good Yudai: It certainly sounds fun! Sota: Well then, please come take jazz lessons with me! Yudai: Let’s go! Sota: Jazz, house, and break dancing! Yudai: Also ethnic dance and jazz dancing Sota: If you remember ethnic dance, you can do any dance!

Next is Taiki-kun.

Toru: Contrary to what you usually do, please write sparkling lyrics. An un-Taiki-like feeling, with straightforward content Yudai: I don’t think he’ll bend on that Taiki: No, I haven’t written anything like that, but who knows about the future?(laughs). I will maybe write songs like that! Sota: I know the future isn’t set, but if you write it in your head now, you can make the future set (laughs) Everyone: (laughs) Taiki: I know I have good and weak points about this. Yudai: If you bend just a little, maybe you can envision this kind of song Taiki: Well, I guess I’ll try and write it and create something with lyrics like “FANTASY”

And Hayate?

Sota: He falls asleep before photoshoots, and then when it’s time to shoot, his eyes are so red (laughs). Please lower the amount you sleep Hayate: I’ll sleep soundly and cure it with eyedrops Toru: You spent this year’s New Years sleeping again Hayate: It was seriously because of my family! It was 11:40, everyone was sleepy, so we just went to bed Taiki: And Hayate, you still haven’t played the guitar you were excited about buying Yudai: You can’t play if you rest so often! Hayate: I thought I'd play if I bought a good one.... it’s at my friend 's house now (laughs)  Taiki: You also can’t dance if you play the guitar Hayate: Then, I won’t dance and will just play the guitar Taiki: You can join our tour as a band member Hayate: I will do my best!

The end is Sota. Taiki: Sota ... ...nope.  Sota: Just say it! Hayate: I have one. He should do his stretches Toru, Taiki, and Yudai: He does! (laughs) Taiki: In a dancing sense only, it would help him not get hurt. I think that he will wind up tearing something if he isn’t more concerned with the condition of his body Yudai: Even if it’s just in the studio, I think the sound when he lands his jumps is different and worrisome Sota: Because the movement of my waist is a bit dull... Hayate: After you land on the floor, you shouldn’t move so quickly Taiki: It feels like your steps are heavy Sota: But if you can move right away, shouldn’t you do it? Taiki: When you go to lessons by yourself, you are stretching there, aren’t you? Sota: But if everyone’s arrived and I’m still warming up, it makes me look stupid Toru: I can see that clearly enough in the studio mirrors (laughs) Taiki: But you’re too stiff Hayate: You'd be better if you stretched Sota: I will do my best this year ... 

Da-iCE is in their sixth year since formation and since the members are just like family, they often announce their feelings of gratitude and appreciation to each other! They have many episodes to show their mind and relationship.

Let us take this opportunity and ask the members to be personal.

From Hayate: I really appreciate that the five of us were gathered together. I’m here now because of the five of us. Because you’ve been looking after me since I was a high school brat, I’m happy I met such good brothers!

From Toru: Taiki → Thank you for always speaking a lot for us as a leader. Yudai → Thank you for always making the mood good and thinking about the atmosphere. Sota→ Thank you for dancing and singing hard, I’m always fascinated by your performance Hayate→ Though you’re the youngest, your dance history is the longest, so thank you for always watching out for Da-iCE’s dance steps

From Taiki Yudai, Sota → Thank you for singing. Our songs can be so good because they are 80% filled your two voices. And thanks for taking on the stress of dancing as well. Hayate → Thank you for being the youngest. Toru and I are only different in age from the AAA-sempai by a little, so Hayate brings a needed feeling of youth. If there was no Hayate, I don’t think we would have been able to debut. Toru → Thank you for supporting from behind. Backing support, balancer. Person who I ultimately rely on in an emergency.

From Yudai: Taiki → Thank you for being the leader. I think that the pressure you feel and the pressure we feel is different. Hayate→When I’m not dancing well, you are the one who gently and carefully teaches me. My dance teacher is also a member. You are our reliable youngest. Sota→I'm thankful our vocal tone is different. There are other groups that have similar sounding singers, but I appreciate how our music resonates with our different personalities. Toru → Thank you for staying with me. We came to the academy on the same day, so we understand each other’s struggles. You listen like a sponge. You’re easy to understand (laughs).

From Sota Because of a common destiny, thank you for walking the same path with me. When I am at work, it’s the best time of my life when all of us are together. There will be good things from now on and if there are bad things, we will face them together, so thank you.

Toru Iwaoka

A1 What I ate in Hiroshima. In Hiroshima the other day, I ate some really thick and excellent sushi! A2 Friends! A3 Before I am done using the toilet, I am impatient to push the "flush" button early. It’s weird, but the members tried to sympathize with me (laughs). A4. I love watching soccer games in general, but since I originally played soccer, I wind up cheering like crazy A5 I had a surprise party for last year’s birthday! I had an idea because of intuition, but I was still surprised A6 When I was 3 years old. When I was spinning around an iron bar at that young age, I struck my head on a brick which was behind me and was covered in blood. A7 When I was as young as 3, I thought that I would be a famous Japanese soccer player, so I asked my parents how to write my signature, and they told me to try it in English, and that’s how I got my present signature.

Sota Hanamura

A1 The mascot Sento-kun from Nara. A2 Family. No matter what happens, it is family. A3 Because I wear white shoes, they get dirty immediately, but if they become dirty, I need to buy new ones, so in order to get new shoes, I can just blame my surroundings A4 It’s a 400cc motorcycle right now A5 Since I am always at work, I do not have much of a private life. I don’t get to go out often on my birthday and Christmas  ... ... so there’s no way to surprise me (bitter smile). A6 I was about to fall off the window on the 2nd floor when I was 3 years old! I was playing on the sofa in front of the window and I jumped too much and my sister grabbed my clothes and I was saved. A7 I draw the A as a capital and it looks like a star. It was more difficult before, but I sign it a lot now and can write it in one stroke

Yudai Ohno

A1 A sirloin at a yakiniku restaurant in Nagoya! It was the best seasoned cut of sirloin steak A2 Love A3 Not acting like my appearance. When I meet fans at hand shake events, they always tell me “When you speak, it feels so kind” like they’re very surprised! A4 Overseas dramas like Walking Dead and The 100. I can watch them for hours on my days off. A5 Many times A6 Collecting slugs around my house in a bottle at the age of 2 A7 I thought I was going to be a soccer player when I was little, and practiced a signature for that. Then I started using it when I was first in an acapella group.

Hayate Wada

Al An MA - 1 jacket.. I saw it when I happened to enter a store. The outside is black and the inside is orange, so I waited a few days and it went on sale and I bought it! A2 Family. I cannot cut myself out of it. A3 I will not take a step out of my home on a day off. I wake up then sleep after eating a bit, but basically just sleep (laughs) A4 I was playing LEGO with my brother, and the instructions were very easy to understand, so it was fun to keep making it without thinking of anything! A5 When I celebrated my birthday with my friends A6 I was riding behind my grandpa's bicycle when I was three years old and went by two people on the way to a local amusement park. Even now, there is no other early memory so strong A7 I learned how to spell Haayte in the cursive alphabet from a cram school teacher, so I started using it as my signature.

Taiki Kudo

A1 A clothing brand called kolor. I was interested from the net and wanted it for the new year. When I went to the store, the size was perfect, so I decided to make it my brand this year  A2 Curiosity. I think that it will not go away. If it does, I don’t think I’ll be able to work anymore A3 I think people with the same wavelength as me can understand me with forcing them to, and people who are not like me will have a sense of distance to some extent. A4 When I am making music, the time goes by quickly, and I think that my concentration ability is tremendously high and it’s so much fun.  A5 I often have had that happen. A6 The memory that I went to the park with my grandfather and was playing around with the water is something I remember clearly from when I was around 3 years old.  A7 I changed between the alphabet and kanji spellings of Taiki. The signature at the time of EVERY SEASON was so easy to write.

INTERVIEW WITH ROAM - "WE'RE THE YELLOW BAND!"

Roam, a pop-punk band from Eastbourne have recently released their second album, Great Heights and Nose Dives. They went on an intimate tour this month to differ from their usual larger capacities, giving these shows a sweatier feeling. I interviewed them before their Milton Keynes show and we discussed topics including the album art for GHAND, being known as "THE YELLOW BAND", and even album three! This is quite an intimate tour, what made you want to focus on smaller venues rather than doing shows as big as you can? Sam: Well first of all, we're playing some places we didn't play on the last headliner tour. We've been to Bournemouth for the first time and Milton Keynes which we haven’t been to much, so we thought we'd try it out and do some smaller, sweaty, fun shows. Miles: kinda made sense really, I think we'd rather play packed out smaller sweaty shows than do a bigger room and maybe get 50 to 100 more people in but there be more empty space if that makes sense.  Sam: we thought we'd give it a go and that's what it's all about. It’s been amazing so far and we’ve really enjoyed it. 

So other than how sweaty and packed it is on these shows, what other differences are there between the more intimate shows and your regular gigs? Sam: Not a whole load of difference really. I feel like because it's a smaller tour, there's more of a chance to play some songs we don't normally play like ‘home’, and ‘while the world keeps spinning’ for the first time. We thought we'd give it a go and it's been really fun. Apart from that, there's not really a huge difference, just the same-old. Miles: There’s less pressure going into it, being more like 'let's have fun'. Are you planning on doing larger shows with this album or are you planning on this being the end of it? Miles: our aim for this album really was to just headline more. On backbone we did a LOT of support tours which were obviously good but we feel like now is the time we want to prove ourselves as our own thing, and have people care about us for being us rather than just the band they stand through five times a year. I think we’re achieving that since we only headlined the UK once on backbone and we've already headlined twice on this album. Yeah, being your own band rather than just support.

There's quite a big difference between backbone and GHAND. So when you finished this one, were there any difference in how you felt about the album it in contrast?Sam: That's really difficult actually because you do get caught up in the moment. When we released backbone, at the time we thought 'that's the best thing we've done' and then obviously we've grown since then as musicians so with Playing Fiction- we're then like 'oh this is the best thing we've done'. We knew straight away since we finished it (GHAN) that this was our favourite thing we've done. We're SUPER proud of it. Miles: I think being in a band is one big learning curve as well. Of course, most bands will improve over time Miles: Even with stuff like the writing process, I know going into album 2 everyone was like 'we've made some mistakes or done some things that weren't necessary', so we learnt a lot of lessons going forward. We've even done the same now, we've been having preliminary discussions about album 3 and we're like 'what are we gonna do differently that we like'. We've learnt from what didn't work but that's more to do with the writing process. It's just one of those big learning curves. There's no set formula and we're still a young band discovering who we are as well. I think we all felt very positive about GHAN. We worked with the exact producer we wanted to work with and he made it sound killer so I think we will always be very proud of that. Other than having more fans since the release of Backbone, how has the reaction to the release of this album been different? Miles: We kept the people that have been with the band from the start happy but we also appeal to a bunch of new people who would've listened to the first album and been like 'ah it's cool but it's not really my thing'. If you look on YouTube, when we released the first two singles, there were a lot of people that were like 'I didn't care about this band before but now I do' and I really respect people for saying that. Shitting on people on the internet isn't cool but if people are like 'yo I didn't like your band before but I've given you another chance and I really like this new stuff' then that's really good.

Yeah, and it shows that everyone can see how much you've improved over time. Miles: Yeah, and the people that liked Backbone are still on board with the new stuff so it's good to keep everyone happy but also bring in new people.  

On another note, the album cover for this is the cactus and the balloon. What was the inspiration behind that? How much input did YOU have into it? Miles: God, this is racking my brain now Sam: The idea of a cactus and balloon is kind of like the great height and the nosedive. Something can be almost fragile and on the edge of going wrong very easily. Miles: It was actually Fraser Taylor from a band called Young Guns. We told him what the album's about, the highs and lows and making the best of every situation, and he pitched a few ideas which was nice cause none of us are arty people (I mean, Alex draws but that's a recent thing for him). It was cool to go to someone and be like 'this is what the album's about and this is what we're trying to portray. What's your take on it?'. Fraser said the cactus, balloon, and a strong colour scheme. He had fun with it and that's how it turned out! Miles: I think one thing we're becoming more conscious of is making sure all of our merch ties in with that so that people see it as a bigger picture.

So you essentially want those colours and items to be your brand. Miles: Yeah, currently the Roam brand is red, yellow, a cactus, and a balloon. We feel like that's our thing and I don't think we had that at all on backbone. Our stage setup is completely yellow and it's got the album name which means that when do a support tour people KNOW who we are, we're THE YELLOW BAND!

Do you have any plans for the future that you can say? Sam: we're gonna do some more headliners.  Miles: A headline overseas I think. I still think we have a lot of life left in this album, but we've been preliminarily discussing album 3 since we don't want it to get really close to when we're due to record and then panic and force out ideas. It'll be better to have stuff under our belt that's occurred naturally. But like Sam says, headlining other places, playing overseas, and writing! 

Do you already know when you're gonna start producing your next album? Or is that something you'll figure out in the future? Miles: Not really, but it's better to think about it sooner rather than later so that the songs are produced because we were feeling it and not as meeting a deadline and a stress thing. Are there any last things you wanna add? Miles: Not really, just check our band out! Sam: Come to a show, do a mosh, come see the yellow band. Miles: Get on board with the yellow.
