#and now she’s like ‘that’s right—you were also really annoying😟’

[tojiscrack]

'i love seeing you in my inbox, it’s soo 😋💞'

omg when's our wedding?? i am down for dual citizenship

'DON’T KNOCK IT TILL YOU TRY IT 😭'

I HAVE TRIED IT... I HAD IT IN LONDON QUEEN....

'one thing about white english ppl is that their full english breakfast is so good'

ummmmmm..... shore..... desi breakfast on top but whatever u say queen

'omg no 😟 we’re the same age 😋 i turned 18 in october'

omg i'm a month older than u... how scandalous LMAO

'just do it on ur own atp'

i might as well tbh

'‘cause i’m gonna have to mention their major exams at several points in the story 😭 just expect a note at the top going ‘yeah i’m still so lost with the US grading system, don’t expect accuracy, enjoy!’'

GIRL LITERALLY JUST HMU! I AM A RED WHITE AND BLUE AMERICAN I GOTCHUUUUUU ANY QUESTIONS U HAVE LITERALLY JUST ASK ME

'literally same. i’ve seen so many ppl say it tastes like soap and i’m just so lost?'

LOWK I THINK THATS BC PPL HAVE THE CILANTRO SOAP GENE....

i have that gene too but i dont get it w that buldak bc mine is lowk mild asf

'but unpopular opinion, i don’t really like shin ramen'

...how could u betray me like this...

i just had some like an hour ago (mixed in an egg yolk and everything)

'and i didn’t like the ending 😐'

LMFAO IT GETS WORSE

look at this text he sent me

flirty asf? while he has a gf? sus vibes

btw context was that he sent me a emo ass reel ab jjk and i said that

i'm gonna kill him in his sleep (for legal reasons this is a joke)

now when you ask me why i still text him, i will say, i do not have an answer.

we don't like text text tho

we just like send each other reels and react bc i'm one of the few jjk liking friends he has

oh also, the other day, he referenced how he used to drive me everywhere when we were talking and i almost punched myself in the throat

bc i stopped asking him to drive me places literally like the day i found out he was still talking to his ex gf

WAIT LET ME GIVE U THIS STORYTIME BC I'M 80% SURE I DIDNT TELL U IT YET

so basically, it was one of those days that he was driving me around (to get drinks) and my friends insisted on coming with (he was only lightly annoyed). one of them is a guy so he sat in the front w my ex situationship (lets call him shitbag) and me and my other friend were sitting in the back.

and shitbag gives me his phone so i can do aux bc he promised to listen to this song i had been talking ab the night before. and when he gives me his phone and i'm stalking his private playlists, i see that shitbag has spotify blends w his ex gf. but generally, he had like 3 playlists total (ONE OF THOSE DAMN PLAYLISTS IS JUST SONGS I TOLD HIM TO PUT ON IT), so i wasn't sure how old this blend was. but then as i'm typing in the song name, he gets two texts from his ex gf literally saying where she was at that exact moment.

and then i just play the song and give him his phone back in like relative silence for the rest of the car ride, just talking to my friends.

also, something i should mention, shitbag has liked me FOR YEARS. like in between getting back w his ex (all three times), he has liked me. (we also 'dated' in 6th grade LMFAOOOOOO) even when we werent as close of friends as we were during our situationship. i even accidentally went on a date with him last year. (i asked him to get me a drink while he was going out for lunch and he told me to just come with him and he ended up paying for my drink (it was like 8 bucks) and not even getting something for himself and insisted on trying it so we indirectly kissed).

i have a lot to say about this situation lowk

'okay, so listen carefully, ‘cause us girls as a community can not, will not, and will NEVER lose another girly to the ugly m*le gender again… doesn’t matter how well he treated you in that moment, if he spoke to his ex during ur situationship, he never treated you well. he was treating himself instead 🤨 and i mean that in the nicest way possible!'

unfortunately you may be right (but i unfortunately love red flags and job security and he's commited to one of the best schools in the country 💔)

'YOU DODGED A BULLET THO 😭 LIKE THIS SHOWED YOU HIS TRUE COLOURS, LIKE IF THAT’S HOW HE BEHAVES IN ANY SCENARIO, HE’S NOT WORTH ANY GIRL’S (WITH SELF RESPECT) TIME 😟'

LMAO U RIGHT U RIGHT

'leave him it in 2024 😋'

I'M TRYINGGGGGGG

'i mean i entered tt and saw everyone going back to the 2020 anime pfps and ofc i had to join innnn 😫'

STOP OMG I SAW THAT TOOOOOOOO! i want to join in but my main tiktok is followed by too many irls for me to do it...

'i’m feeling homesick for 2020, and any time i check the date and it says we’re FIVE years past that, i wanna throw up 🤧'

STOP SAME. I WAS AT MY HAPPIEST THEN LMAO

'and that is literally NOT A PROBLEM AT ALL. in fact, i encourage it, and i look forward to it 😇🫶🏽'

lets kiss pls

'I’VE ALSO SEEN SO MANY TUMBLR USERS EXPLAINING THEIR USERS THE SAME WAY YOU DID HAHAA'

LMFAOOO ITS A VERY COMMON WAY TO FIND A USERNAME! also. question for u, ml. when ur username says 'tojiscrack' do u mean like toji being funny, toji's c0c@ine, or toji's asscrack. this is a very important question that needs to be answered.

'today i got a late christmas present from my friend’s mum (fuzzy socks and a set of makeup brushes)'

AWWW YAY! i love fuzzy socks lowk.

'sorry this was responded to quite late seoups!'

POOKIE DON'T WORRRRYYY

also call me kay pookie bear

also i love going to the library it's so fun

ALSO SITUATIONSHIPS ARE TERRIBLE I DONT RECCOMEND THEM AT ALL. HOLY SHIT.

BYE POOKIE BEAR

wait while i was ending this, he texted me again (i responded to him saying 'as if' and then he said 'give me the deets and ill be there' and then i said 'not after this')

see now the context for THIS was that i invited him and like 4 other guys to my bday party, 2/4 said they couldn't go. one guy from my hr said he could and so did my neighbor and and then shitbag couldn't go because he was taking his ACT like 8 hours away LMAO

okay actually bye this time

‘omg when's our wedding?? i am down for dual citizenship’ — 😳‼️

the amount of ppl that have demanded i marry them on here 😋 i’m hot commodity clearly *debby ryan face*

LMAO I’M JK, ily all <33

‘I HAVE TRIED IT... I HAD IT IN LONDON QUEEN....’ — it’s good tho, right? like you seem sceptical but it’s not BAD 😫

‘ummmmmm..... shore..... desi breakfast on top but whatever u say queen’ — i’ve never tried a desi breakfast ☹️ but i don’t doubt that it tastes great! it looks really good too 👀

‘omg im a month older than u’ — ssshh 🤫 no one needs to know about that

‘ANY QUESTIONS U HAVE LITERALLY JUST ASK ME’ — DON’T BE SURPRISED WHEN I SLIDE INTO UR DMS INTERROGATING YOU ABOUT THE AMERICAN GRADING SYSTEM 😫🫶🏽

also when i had shin ramen, i made it the same way you did but with kewpie mayo and it was soupie and not thick like buldak, but i just don’t think shin ramen is for me 😭 not hating tho! i’ll stick to buldak 🥴

also that text is annoying me, sorry :/

“sHuT uP yOu KnOw I aM” — ok but we also know that kay comes into my inbox every other day to chat shit about you 🌝

sorry i’m growing a real sense of disgust for this thing, send it back to jupiter pls 😐

‘now when you ask me why i still text him, i will say, i do not have an answer’ — HAHA I WAS GONNA ASK 😭

me personally, i think you should cut him off completely 😬 block button is free + he has a gf so i think just out of respect for that (even if he himself doesn’t respect that) you should do ur part by untangling urself from any of that 🫡

‘WAIT LET ME GIVE U THIS STORYTIME BC I'M 80% SURE I DIDNT TELL U IT YET’ — MHM GO AHEAD

shitbag is a good name, shitbag 👽!!!

‘but then as i'm typing in the song name, he gets two texts from his ex gf literally saying where she was at that exact moment’ — hm 🌝

idk if you’re intending to make me dislike him, but i really don’t like him. like, at all. HOW IS HE EVEN PULLING YOU AND THAT OTHER GIRL?? 😭

‘and then i just play the song and give him his phone back in like relative silence for the rest of the car ride, just talking to my friends’ — this tells me enough. BLOCK BLOCK BLOCKKKK, start ur life anew (without him) and let him wonder how his life would’ve been sm better with you in it if he had treated you right and been a better person 😋

‘shitbag has liked me FOR YEARS’ — that’s more of a reason to leave him behind 😭 like if this is how you behave with a girl you like, i’d hate to see how you’d behave with a girl you DON’T like 💀

‘unfortunately you may be right’ — i’m always right. my girls irl have the best lives AFTER their situationships ‘cause of me (and i’ve never had to deal with any of that bs HAHA 😭). i sound cocky about it, and that’s ‘cause i absolutely am LOOOL

‘but i unfortunately love red flags and job security and he's commited to one of the best schools in the country 💔’ — 1. unfortunately there’s nothing u can do if u like red flags, however, you should never rely on a man for his money, being financially dependent is a necessity. 2. HE HAS A GF 😭 that’s enough reason for you to walk the other way and not look back

‘STOP OMG I SAW THAT TO0000000! i want to join in but my main tiktok is followed by too many irls for me to do it..’ — and what about it? 😟 the world won’t end ‘cause you chose to change ur pfp. everyone’s too busy caring about themselves to do anything about it :)

‘let’s kiss pls’ — not until you wipe ur mouth from that indirect kiss from that THING you call a man 😐

‘do u mean like toji being funny, toji's cOc@ine, or toji's asscrack. this is a very important question that needs to be answered’ — omg the bum crack ofc. i’ve never vaped, smoked, done drugs, drank, etc (and i don’t plan on it) so like, yeah, never tojis c0c@ine. tojis bumcrack ‘cause i find that hilarious HAHAHA 😭😭

‘also call me kay pookie bear’ — an anon made fun of me for calling everyone by their users but i had to make it clear that ppl have to specifically TELL me to use their actual names otherwise i just won’t 💀 hellooo kay :) (that’s a cute name aww)

‘ALSO SITUATIONSHIPS ARE TERRIBLE I DONT RECOMMEND THEM AT ALL’ — noted 😟

‘wait while i was ending this he texted me again’ — 😐

i was smiling at the ‘bye pookie bear’ ‘cause we’re exchanging cute nicknames but then he’s come back to ruin it :/

DO NOT INVITE HIM TO UR PARTY 🌝

k ily bye <333

[floreuce]

wubzy was a disaster. he was a college dropout living in his parents basement, that had just recently come out to his parents as gay. now, dear reader, i’d love to tell you that wubzys parents were thrilled! i’d be happy to tell they were proud of their boy for being who he was! but alas, this couldn’t be further from the truth. wubzys parents were far from thrilled. so now, on top of college debt and being kicked out, they parents decided they needed a solution to wubzys queer little problem. and what better solution indeed than an arranged marriage set up with the ruling kingdoms daughter?

(a few days later)

“i don’t even know what happened gidget, how did i mess up so badly? i was sure my parents would be happy for me..” wubzy looked at the ground as his friend gidget comforted him. he had been staying with her ever since he got kicked out.

“there there little buddy, i’m sure we’ll think of a way out of this,” she chuckled. at least she had been in a similar predicament before. well, the kings daughter definitely wasn’t involved, but gidget sure did know her way around homophobic parents.

“actually,” she started again, smiling slightly to herself, “i don’t see why you won’t just suck it up and marry the princess. surely anyone in the kingdom would be happy to be with someone as gorgeous as her.”

oh no, not this again. they had been through this a million times before. gidget was head over heels in love with the princess of cheeseland (the land where they lived). it was a miracle her stupid crush wasn’t getting in the way of things. wubzy would have assumed gidget to get very jealous of his apparent betrothal to her beloved.

“gidget,” said wubzy, “you’re doing it again. shut up about your crush for ten minutes and help me here!” he was starting to get a bit angry now, though he knew he shouldn’t have been. gidget was being nothing but patient, and wubzy was just ungrateful.

just then, wubzys iphone alarm went off from the inside pocket of the gucci sweatshirt he had stolen from his ex boyfriend that he still had feelings for. joey had lent him the sweatshirt after he noticed that wubzy was wearing no clothes at all. nothing. not even a pair of underwear. wubzy was a strange lad to say the least. maybe his parents were right to kick him out.

anyway, yeah, his alarm went off. and you bet it wasn’t a nice, soothing alarm, like the chimes or something. no, it was the really annoying default alarm that gave every student in the world an instant cringe attack. wubzy was classy like that.

“oh no, sorry gidget!” he made this face 😟. this exact face 😟. “i have to go, or i’ll be late for my job at the cheese factory!” he rushed out the door and got into his little clown car. because he drove a little clown car. this has absolutely nothing to do with the progression of the story, i just thought it was a bit funny.

so wubzy sped through the streets in his sick little clown car, hitting every pedestrian he saw. you see, he was angry. angry at his job for making him come to work, angry at gidget for having a crush, angry at his parents for kicking him out. most of all, he was angry at the universe for making him gay. he put on his most #emo playlist and cranked his car up to 69 mph for maximum pedestrian hitting (also mph, coincidentally). thank goodness there was no law enforcement in cheeseland.

as wubzy pulled into work, he could immediately sense that something was wrong. he could sense this using his spidey senses. you see, wubzy had been bitten by a radioactive spider at the age of twelve, and ever sense then he’d had special abilities. heh, he thought to himself when it had happened, i’m just like spider-man.

as soon as wubzy walked through the doors of the cheese factory, he saw the problem. standing at wubzys station, was his ex boyfriend joey, and he appeared to have been waiting for him.

“hey joe,” he said tentatively, taking a slow step forward. joey was know to attack like a rabid wolf when startled, and this had been part of the reason they broke up. (wubzy didn’t like to think about the real reason.) when wubzy finally found himself standing directly in front of joe, he spoke again. “um, did you need something? i can give you your sweater back if you want?”

before he could pull the sweater off though, joe stopped him. this was for the better probably, as the cheese factory had a strict policy that stated that all employees must wear clothes. this rule was put in place following the naked cheese disaster of 98’. yeah, they didn’t talk about that.

“joe..” wubzy said, still not knowing what the man wanted.

“good god,” joe said, tears forming in his eyes, “when the roast beast hits.”

oh yeah. wubzy had forgotten about that. when joe had done what he did, wubzy had gotten so mad that he got his magical friend edna mode to curse him. from then on, joe could only utter one sentence. i think you already saw what that was.

“oh man,” said wubzy, looking apologetic. “i’m so sorry, edna said that would wear off, i swear! don’t worry though, i can fix it.” he snapped his fingers and edna appeared in a puff of smoke.

“edna mode at your service,” she said, before spotting joe. “oh, it’s you,” she said with a distinct frown, “we meet again, joe biden. come running back after obama left you, then?”

“edna,” said wubzy, “please just fix his voice, i don’t have the energy to get in a fight right now.”

“fine,” edna tutted, clicking her heels and saying the magic word. “cheese!” she shouted. “there, now your voice should be back to normal.” and in a puff of smoke, she was gone

“joe,” wubzy started, for what felt like the hundredth time.

“wubzy, let me explain!” joe really was crying now. “obama was just a one time thing, i didn’t mean to hurt you the way i did. please, wubzy, you’re the love of my life, will you marry me?” at this, he knelt down on one knee, producing a large ring. it was made of cheese. joe really knew him, wubzy thought.

now wubzy was the one in tears. “wow, wow, wow..” he remarked. “joe, i- yes!”

they hugged and stuff, like couples do when they get engaged. idk, i’ve never been proposed to.

just then, wubzys boss (and gidgets loving adoptive father), papa pepperoni, stepped out of his office. “hey, you stupid president, do you mind? wubzys supposed to be working, how do you think he’s repaying me for getting him out of that wedding with the princess?”

“what?” wubzy breathed out, looking shocked. “how did you get me out of the wedding?”

“ha!” papa pepperoni laughed. “i have an in at the castle. why do you think the newest born prince looks so much like me?” he gave a small wink at that, before turning away and going back into his office.

wubzy looked amazed, he had just been engaged and unengaged two two different people in the span of a few minutes. he was ecstatic! he would work every day for the rest of his life to repay papa pepperoni for the kindness he had just shown.

in the end, everything was great. there was a huge double wedding for wubzy and joe, as well as gidget and the princess, who had begun dating after gidget found out about her adoptive fathers ties with the royal family.

as the sun set on the day of the wedding, all was well in the kingdom of cheeslfand. and if that night wubzy ran over his dumb parents in his little clown car, no one would be any wiser. after all, there was no law enforcement in cheeseland.

👉Bold sentences are text messages.

Chapter 1 - A glimpse of you…

-Jake!

-Good Morning!

-How are you doing?

-I know what you’d say🙃… Oshi. You seem excited.

-Of course! Guess where I’m going today!

-Ta Da! Where everything began for us!

-DUSKWOOD!

-Today’s the pine Glade Festival, you know! I can’t believe it’s been a whole year already. It still feels like everything happened yesterday…

-Good thing Pine Glade falls on Saturday this year. I even took two days' leave just for this! Ew…That darn internship. I can only guess how horrible a permanent job would be… 😩 Argh…I don’t want to graduate!

-Supposedly, these two days will be my only vacation while I’m on probation. They literally work us to death you know! Ugh. No wonder you wanted to blow up the government 🤭

-Yeah. Yeah. I know. Now you’d say, “…That was unnecessary.”

-I know…I just…

-I miss you, Jake. 😟

-Really.

-You still remember me, do you? Is it still dangerous for you to reach me?

-Tell them to come! FBI or whatever! I’ll knock them down for you!

-Well, I guess that’s it for now. I’m going to arrive shortly.

-Right! I’ve got good news for you!

-Hannah will be joining us today! We’re all going to have lots of fun tonight.

-Also, I’m going on a date with Jessy 🤭

-Phil invited me to the Aurora today… he still gives me free drinks too. Haha.

-I can see you all annoyed…Well…I just can’t say no to free food.

-Anyway, I hope everything is alright with you. Somehow everything ended well for everyone too.

-I can still remember that day…a year ago. Hannah’s a lot better now, though she still goes for therapy. Lilly misses you a lot too. Richy is almost recovered too. Though the doctors say some of his burns would leave scars.

-Okay. I’m at Duskwood now. It’d be great to see you around you know… After all, when your gorgeous girlfriend walks around all alone, so many guys wish to keep her company. 😏

-I’m just awesome! 😎

-Goodbye Jake. I love you. ❤️️

***

As soon as getting off the bus, Oshi hurried to the hospital to see her friend as she did for the past year whenever she visited Duskwood. After one year of painful treatment, Richy had finally managed almost to heal the severe burns on his arms and back.

As she was about to step in, a cheerful voice called, “Oshi?!”

As Oshi turned around, her lips curved up. “Jessy!”

After hugging each other for a while, they stepped in. “I’ve really missed you, Oshi! It’s been so long since you last visited us.”

“I know right? I wanted to come soon too…What to do. The internship is killing me.”

“Aww…Do they make you work too hard?”

“Too hard wouldn’t do any justice. They’re working us to death! I crawl home half-dead after work!”

The two stopped giggling as they arrived at the patient room. Oshi carefully knocked the door, “Come in.”

Richy, sitting by the window, smiled brightly at the two. “Long time no see, Oshi!”

“I know right? So sorry I couldn’t come because the work was killing me.”

The afternoon arrived as the three chatted, occasionally laughing out loud.

“Still no news Oshi?”

Oshi looked at her hands at Richy’s question, the question almost all of her friends from Duskwood ask her every time they see each other. “…Nothing yet.”

“Maybe he would put you in danger if he were to reach you. He was like that the other time also, right? When Lilly’s video was uploaded?”

When Jessy soothed her, she chuckled, trying to hide the bitter feelings, “He’ll come. Definitely. You know, the whole guy is weird.”

***

The two ladies went on a lunch date at the Black Swan before finding Cleo at the Gates of Hope. As Cleo claimed last year, she was swamped at the Pine Glade Festival. Not further disturbing her, Jessy and Oshi left to walk around. Hannah and Thomas were to come along with Lilly at six. Since Dan got the job at Aurora, to which Jessy had to beg Phil practically, Dan was rarely available after dusk.

Everything was peaceful in the strange yet beautiful town, Duskwood. As they shopped in the Market Place, time flew by. Thus the two ladies headed to the Rainbow Cafe, where the group agreed to meet.

But the joyous times were bound to fly away quickly. As Hannah was still a little unstable, Thomas took her home before the fireworks. Lilly also had promised to help out Cleo, thus leaving only Jessy and Oshi to see the fireworks. Cleo and Lily promised to join them later at the Aurora.

When they arrived at the Black-water lake, it was already crowded. “It’s your first time, right Oshi?”

She nodded excitedly, rubbing her hands together to warm them up a bit. Jessy added with sparkling eyes, “It’s really stunning! When the fireworks reflect on the lake, it’s so beautiful! Like you won’t be able to imagine ever! You have to see it yourself!”

Soon Jessy went off to buy coffee as the wind was cold, leaving Oshi alone at the lake. The time was nine fifty-nine, with one minute remaining for the fireworks show to start. Oshi started to look for Jessy. As she looked back in vain, she noticed a warm gaze as she turned another way. An eye she had never felt before yet felt so familiar. Oshi turned back around as quickly as she could.

The bright, colorful fireworks exploded throughout the night sky… The Black-water lake reflected them. It was as if they were floating in the sky…

A pair of deep blue eyes met her dark brown eyes…

It was as if only the two of them existed in the entire universe…

As if the whole world finally let them have some space…

As if two broken souls were united…

Everything felt completed…

Everything seemed to be alright.

There was absolutely no way she would not recognize this gaze. Even if the tall figure in front of her wearing a black hoodie was a total stranger, that warm gaze welled up in her eyes. Her lips could only tremble, letting no word out. Her entire body seemed numb, unable to lift a finger. Oshi just stood still…staring at the sapphire eyes.

Even though a distance of a few meters remained between them, they had never felt this close before…

A hand slightly shook her from the behind, to which she turned back, surprised. Jessy was staring at her, concerned, “Oshi? Did something happen? I called you many times.” She handed a warm cup of coffee to Oshi as she continued, “You didn’t seem to hear me. Are you alright?”

As soon as Jessy’s words ended, Oshi turned back to no avail.

‘Was that my imagination?’

But it felt so real. So real that it couldn’t have been a mere hallucination. With a flustered heart, Oshi headed to the Aurora with Jessy.

***

-Jake!

-Tht wsn’t you?

-I ws prety sure though…

-Wy won’t ya cme?

-Jake…whn wil yo

“Oshi! You’re drunk!”

Jessy’s eyes were watery as she looked at her miserable friend. She raised her head tipsily to look at Jessy. With blushed cheeks and hazy eyes, she looked prettier than usual. Jessy hurriedly put a coat on her, supporting Oshi to get on her feet, “Stop texting him already…Oshi…It breaks my heart to see you like this.”

Of course, the result was Oshi welling up in tears as well. This course flow wasn’t even out of the ordinary for Phil by now. It happened almost every time Oshi got drunk. As he watched his little sister and her detective friend all drunk and teary, Phil gulped down a glass of water. It was past midnight, yet the two ladies didn’t seem to want to go home yet.

“Why won’t he come already? Ugh…” Oshi stood up, her feet unbalanced. “I’ll just beat those bastards! Let them come! F-” Jessy hurriedly covered her drunk friend’s mouth so that she would not openly curse the investigation bureau.

Phil chuckled softly as he kept watching her, Oshi, the infamous girl who accidentally got tangled in Duskwood. At first, it was just for fun; she was a fun and easy-going person. He was just in his habit and flirted with her. Albeit now that he had known her for a little over a year, she was a much greater woman. Thus, Phil had a good impression of her. Oshi also seemed to get along with his little sister genuinely.

Though Phil was often annoyed at them, he didn’t dislike Jessy’s group of friends. The problem was that he was the one who had to sort out most of the trouble they made. Cleo and Lily left long ago, Hannah and Thomas didn’t come at all, Dan was busy working, and Richy was in the hospital. Frankly, it left a bitter aftertaste when everything ended last year almost breaking apart the group.

Maybe thanks to this girl, the group was still hanging together, albeit by a thin thread.

“Dan! Jack Daniels, You’ve finally grown up! Heh he! Though flower shop suits you much better-”

“Oshi! Don’t! Don’t say it! Dan would kill me!”

He avoided drinking alcohol purposely so that he could take the girls home. Phil stood in front of them, and Oshi, who finally noticed him, looked straight into his eyes with half-closed eyes. Her big eyes were red and swollen due to crying and weeping.

Oshi stood unsteadily, pointing the index finger at him. “Phil! Where have you been?!”

“I’m so sorry, Phil! Oshi is drunk!” Jessy kept apologizing as she tried to shut Oshi down. She was worried that Phil might get angry at her again. Phil and Jessy just started to get along fine in the past year, thanks to Oshi.

“Phil! You have to be good to Jessy! That’s not how a big brother should be!” Phil chuckled as he nodded while Oshi steadied herself and sharpened her big eyes. “And you! Stop using those emojis!”

His heart held a kind of bittersweet feeling as he listened. Even after an entire year, Oshi was still holding onto a man whose face she didn’t know at the very least. A mysterious hacker who suddenly appeared in her life and then suddenly disappeared…

Though Phil most certainly believed that his feelings for her were a mere infatuation, it still bothered him at times. Especially when she cried out like this, Oshi, always a happy-go-lucky cheerful lady, was weeping like a child because of that man. Who was he to make her like this? Was he such a great man? Was ‘Jake’ even his real name?

Alas, he finally managed to get the two ladies in his car. Oshi kept sobbing, Jessy silently soothing her throughout the way back. Then she would suddenly sober up and apologize for making a scene. Strangely, Phil was happy that Oshi seemed to be herself while she was with them.

As usual, Oshi was sober when they arrived at Jessy’s and apologized. “I don’t even know where to begin…I’m so sorry, Phil. I might have disturbed your business too. You even had to drive us home.” Her lips slightly protruded as she sulked. A soft smile came to his face as he thought how cute she looked.

As Phil was on his way, he noticed a man walking on the road towards Jessy’s. As many strangers visited Duskwood for the Pine Glade festival every year, he did not think much of it.

-To Be Continued.

u see i don’t necessarily mind the cockiness bc i feel like every rapper is cocky. like atp it’s basically included in the job description that u need to think ur the best rapper to ever exist 😭 like even new rappers who barely dropped their first album already talk ab how they got so many sons 💀 it does get annoying after a while tho bc if ur rly that great u don’t have to constantly remind ppl. but i do get why nicki does it esp after that whole hate train she had a while back ppl were undermining her talent and belittling her accomplishments. but my main issue w her is her husband and also her history of collaborating w abusers and just overall weirdos. but god forbid u bring up that husband of hers barbs go feral and start victim blaming and acting as if marrying a rapist and enabling them is not a big deal bc she isn’t the one who personally violated the woman😒 like it’s just so odd bc she’s such a talented, beautiful woman and out of all the men in the world she could’ve gotten she married...him😟 and even if she does end up divorcing him she’ll always be kinda connected to him bc they have a child together ://

okay that/those are actually a great points lmfao AND I TAKE IT BACK!!! ig i just don't take men seriously when they're full of themselves (🙈) but DO take women... so seeing Nicki talk the way she does is just hard bc... i really think she WAS all that, but now... less so. You're right tho, so... okay. she can have her attitude asdjfalskd.

but yes!!! to everything else, and again i think what's most sucky is... THAT'S what makes her look bad; being such a strong, talented and iconic female figure now partaking in the same thing that really harms those just like her rather than... supporting them, which you'd think she'd want to cuz she worked so hard and understands. we talked abt it on IHB once, but the whole incident of, i think... shitting on normani (?) so that she could defend someone who blackfished? Just alongside everything regarding her husband, brother, 6ix9nine... etc. too.

Like PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEE, Nicki... you used to be + could still be so classy, but no!!! The type of edge this goes for is just... gross, not cool or relevant. And then bc her weird stans don't even process the situation or take it seriously, either? Makes it easier to view her as less... what's the word, sophisticated maybe, too. 

And I don't think that's right, either.
