CONFESSIONS

november 12th 2022 10:48pm

pairing: millie kim x code kunst, millie kim x aomg

genre: angst, fluff

warnings: swearing, smoking

description: millie and sungwoo finally acknowledged how they feel

word count: 1.4k

a/n: thank you all for the support, i don’t really speak on this account much but i really appreciate it 🫶🏻

“HONESTLY ITS AS IF I HAVE ANOTHER DAD sometimes” millie laughed loudly nodding her head sideways towards kiseok who just wrapped his arm around her shoulders squeezing her tightly. the others stood around the high table laughed with them, however, sungwoo could only smile. he watched millie and kiseok interact, the constant bumping shoulders or the small inside jokes they had. he couldn’t help but feel a pit of jealousy in his stomach.

sungwoo knew that the pair were not remotely romantically interested in each other which annoyed him even more that he was so jealous. millie and kiseok were joint at the hip at these sort of events ever since he signed the girl to aomg. she was alone in korea when she joined the hiphop agency with her family still living in canada, so kiseok took it upon himself to take of the young artist and make sure she was living well.

the venue they were currently at was slowly becoming more busy as the party began, the atmosphere becoming busy and hectic whereas before it was calm. sunghwa stood across from millie and next to sungwoo, who had noticed his friend looking like a lovesick puppy when he watched millie talk. she was a quiet person usually but when she was around company that she felt comfortable with, she could talk for days, which was another thing that code kunst attracted millie to him.

sunghwa and wonjae knew all about the little workplace romance that was blooming between the producer and rapper. millie had drunkenly confessed to sunghwa of her attraction to cokun and wonjae had to sit and listen to his friend complain about how they will always be stuck as friends. as much as the pair wanted to interfere and make the oblivious friends realise that they share the same feelings they were both apprehensive of meddling.

millie took a small sip of her drink, her eyes meeting sungwoo’s. her heart felt as if it skipped a beat which she tried to ignore. he quickly averted his eyes and her heart dropped but she did well to hide the disappointment. “i’m gonna get another drink,” she muttered towards kiseok, he smiled rubbing her back slightly before she walked away. sungwoo’s gaze was now back on her, this time he was the disappointed one.

sungwoo stood watching her sadly causing wonjae to scoff and nudge him with his elbow. “you gotta talk to her hyung, before she gets with someone else,” he muttered. sungwoo sighed, at war with himself on what to do.

after squeezing her way through the crowd she made it to the busy bar. she waited, tapping her fingers against the table to the beat of the music. however her attention was soon on a familiar face standing a few feet away from her. junhoe was standing, scrolling through his phone, her stomach twisted the sight of her her ex-boyfriend. he was the last person she wanted to see tonight, especially since sungwoo was here.

unfortunately for millie, junhoe noticed her and smiled before walking over to meet her at the bar. “hey millie, didn’t know you’d be here,” he said awkwardly. millie laughed a little, “yeah i’m here with some of the guys,” she replied nodding towards where she was previously standing. junhoe looked over seeing some of the aomg guys at the table and how code kunst was watching the pair carefully. “ah i see,” he muttered. there was an awkward pause, the old couple hadn’t seen each other since the breakup which is what mille wanted but now here he was.

the pair spoke for a few more minutes with junhoe even offering to pay for her drink once she had finally ordered but millie declined. the conversation was strained and millie found herself laughing awkwardly most of the time trying to ignore the suffocating feeling. “i’m gonna get some air for a few minutes,” she told him not letting him reply as she left to quickly to hear it, but his attention quickly moved to someone else thankfully.

she made her way through the drunk crowd towards the front door - grabbing her jacket on the way out, in need of some fresh air and a cigarette. she wasn’t a big smoker but after she had a few drinks or felt overwhelmed with stress she would usually have a few. it was bad habit that she had been trying to kick since she was a teen, but to no avail yet.

outside the bar was quiet thankfully, a little group stood to one side of the door all smoking and laughing together. millie stood on the other side leaning against the brick wall while she began to rummage through her bag for her own pack. unfortunately she only found her lighter, “fuck,” she muttered, before checking her jacket pockets, she looked towards the door debating whether just to go back inside. as she continued to search of her pack, a hand appeared in front her offering a cigarette.

millie stopped a few seconds after registering what it was, her gaze lifted from the ground to meet sungwoo’s. “thanks,” she mumbled taking the stick out of his hand and placing it in between her lips. cokunst leaned on the wall next to the shorter girl, a silence settling between them. she quickly lit her cigarette and took a long draw, before exhaling the thick smoke. sungwoo stole a quick glance of millie who was staring at the nights sky admiring the stars she could see.

“i thought you were quitting,” he finally spoke, millie hummed at his words taking another puff. “i remember using the word trying,” she murmured, tapping off the ash. the silence came back.

“done ignoring me now i take it?” millie asked trying to sound as nonchalant as possible but there was still a hard edge to her voice. the words came out before she had realised what she had actually said, the rapper was usually quite good at hiding her jealousy or annoyance towards code kunst but the tension between them was becoming increasingly more apparent. millie was sick of feeling like a lovesick teenager around sungwoo, constantly overthinking every little detail of their relationship.

sungwoo cleared his throat awkwardly, “i.. i wasn’t ignoring you,” he stuttered out. millie rolled her eyes in annoyance, finally turning to look directly at him. “you have sungwoo, every time i looked at you you’d look away or if i came up to you in there you’d find an excuse to leave, what have i done?” millie rambled angrily suddenly she was thankful that the group who was next to them had gone back inside a few minutes earlier leaving the pair alone. “i’ve been trying all night to talk to you, but you’ve been with that ass for the past half hour,” sungwoo argued back and millie scoffed loudly.

of course that was why sungwoo had all of a sudden decided to leave her alone. it angered the girl more that sungwoo thought she wanted to be talking to junhoe for the full night. that he hadn’t made the effort with her. sungwoo had watched the two exes together at the bar, laughing and to him looked like millie talking excitedly while junhoe grasped her hand. they looked very happy to see each other and sungwoo was jealous to put it plainly. “so what? we we’re catching up. it’s what people do,” she exclaimed. sungwoo’s gaze hardened as the argument became more heated between the two.

“sorry for not wanting to interrupt you with someone you clearly still like,” he huffed pushing himself off the wall. millie scoffed in disbelief watching the taller guy with her eyebrows furrowed, muttering “you’ve got to be kidding me,” to herself. she stomped out the end on her cigarette with her boots, taking a moment to reply. without thinking her words left her mouth quickly. “i don’t fucking like him like that anymore we ended it… it’s you i fucking like,” suddenly it went very quiet between the pair. the only noise that could be heard was the loud music coming from the bar.

the tension could be cut by a knife as the pair stared into each others eyes, millie breathing heavily after her sudden confession. “please just say something,” she said just above a whisper, feeling like she could cry at any moment. instead of replying, sungwoo cupped her face and brought her in for a deep kiss. startled by the kiss, it took millie a second to register what was happening but soon relaxed. her eyes fluttered shut, her arms hanging around sungwoo’s neck.

sungwoo grasped her waist gently while they moved in sync. millie pulled away, smiling to herself as she tried to hide her face in his chest. “i like you too by the way,” he murmured softly.

Code Kunst- Red + Green Flags

❤️

He becomes too prideful and egoistic, it can lead to problems speaking up for himself (not in a way of that he gets too scared to speak but in a way that if he feels already misunderstood then he won't put in effort to clear his name or get ppl to understand him). It's vibes of "they've already made a conclusion of how I am, so why bother saying anything". It can lead to even more misunderstandings

He sits and let things happen too much. Like the kind of guy that finds himself at a club bc he's just mindlessly following his friends and letting ppl drag him to different places.

He's way too easily led by others. And he surrenders his power/himself to others too easily

He has experience with a traumatic childhood, problems with his parents(specifically a mother figure). He may have cynical beliefs that if he thinks his parents fucked up in raising him then he wouldn't want to raise kids at all, due to believing they'll turn out to be messed up as well

He still holds onto strong feelings of resentment to his parents. He's not taking proper steps to forgive them so that he can heal. Right now, his wounds are still wide open, leaking blood and if he doesn't get stitches he can risk infection (to solve this problem he doesn't need bandaids, he needs stitches)

Ahhh, okay. So he's a person that really enjoys music, especially lesser known music/artist. But, I see that hee the type to make his entire personality the fact that he supports "indie artist" and "real artist that aren't primed and pampered by big companies". He can even feel that way about himself, where he sees his music in higher regard since he's doing it all on his own without much help from a company

He's quite a lonely man, and struggles a bit with connections. Leads him to guilt trip and manipulate others into staying by his side. Can be insecure about how entertaining he actually is. Also, he could have the habit of trauma dumping

He's the perfect definition a man that plays the long game in love. He plays "the guy friend" role a lot when he wants a girl instead of outright getting with her. Idk if you guys know the saying "a shoulder to cry on, can be a dick to ride on" but that could be how his romantic relationships turn out

💚

He's quite an independent person and even he wouldn't partake in new romances if he wasn't feeling ready or the person wasn't ready. A healthy lover, and very big on consent (like most ppl should be).

Surprisingly. He's quite the charming, gentleman that knows how to treat a woman and make her feel heard, seen and beautiful.

He definitely could have more women under his belt if he so chooses but he's calculative with how he moves. People may underestimate him a lot but he's really a powerful, influential guy.

Code Kunst takes care of others very well, worrying after others mental health and giving healing advice to those in need of it. He can have a deep desire to inspire ppl to good un their own lives, he would feel very grateful if a fan told him that his music played a big role in their life

It may very well be his entire purpose of creating music. To inspire others.

Once again, I'm seeing a very caretaker type of man, that even when he feels lazy and tired, will try his best to be there for others. Like a guy that keeps his promises, no matter what. Also a guy that when his loved ones really need him, he's there for them

He's a very committed person in love, he doesn't fear marriage or giving a girl the girlfriend status long as their both ready. The kind of person that if he argues with a significant other, he likes it and prefers it to be that away instead of running away. He can feel very hurt by a person walking away from him when they fight (even if it's just to cool down), he may look at it as the relationship is over.

The Weekend by SZA is a song that fits this readings energy

QUICK THOUGHTS: AP ALCHEMY, J-HOPE, FIFTY FIFTY & MORE

2023 has kicked off to a roaring start thus far with a ton of releases, a lot of which I have been really enjoying! Just wanted to share some quick thoughts/reviews on some recent projects just to get them out there. Hope everyone has been having a good 2023 so far!

[ALBUM] AP Alchemy - Side A

8.5 out of 10

A restructuring of sorts, industry veteran Swings launches the AP Alchemy collective with a phenomenal showing on the crew’s first compilation album. With fresh faces that bring new-school energy, matched by the renewed hunger on staple names like Kid Milli, Blacknut and of course head honcho Swings. The production is incredibly detailed and highly curated, with a handful of standouts from Nochang and Saewoo. AP Alchemy make an enormous amount of noise on ‘Side A’, all of which is immaculately produced and performed. Front runner for rap album of 2023.

[ALBUM] Code Kunst - Remember Archive

5.0 out of 10

Code Kunst feels like he’s in two minds with his latest LP, on one hand trying to push a more chart-orientated sound while also building on his signature moody sound; in doing so he ends up doing neither with much finesse. ‘Remember Archive’ is largely bland, the softer production is missing the tailor-like touches of ‘Muggle Mansion’ and the rap features are often lackluster. The vocal guests do come through with a fair few memorable performances, but more often than not, the production feels like an imitation of Code Kunst’s own seminal works.

[ALBUM] Crucial Star & QM - Gold

7.0 out of 10

Teaming up on ‘Gold’ Crucial Star and QM concoct a lot of chemistry over the tightly produced EP. Crucial Star, after what feels like an eternity of dormancy as an artist feels fully rejuvenated spitting alongside the highly skilled QM. The production is modest, but rich in its subtlety as the two MCs continually drop highly polished verses.

[SINGLE] Bobby - Cherry Blossom

6.0 out of 10

Touting his most impressive and nuanced vocal performance yet, Bobby surprises with the delightful ‘Cherry Blossom’. The pretty lyrical motifs are driven by Bobby’s bittersweet performance and the warmly tinted pop/rock production. Though the verses are fantastic and the hook is catchy, the songwriting is a little repetitive and the empty lull that is the bridge slightly handicap an otherwise competent single.

[SINGLE] FIFTY FIFTY - Cupid

9.0 out of 10

Following up their excellent debut EP, Fifty Fifty’s latest single is every bit as exciting as their debut. The slick synth-pop production is immaculately mixed, with an arrangement that exudes luxury. ‘Cupid’ prides itself on the spectacular, personality-rich vocal performance from the members and its ridiculously infectious hook. ‘Cupid’ is about as good as pop gets - the fluid songwriting, vibrant performances and glittery production is all you could ever want.

[SINGLE] J-Hope - On The Street (feat. J. Cole)

6.5 out of 10

BTS bags yet another landmark crossover collaboration, this time J-Hope teaming up with one of his inspirations. The production is a touch too sanitized, but the groove is still hard to resist with the whistle lead. J-Hope’s contribution is brief, and while the hook does have a strong core, more could’ve been done to flesh it out. Cole’s verses is astute and technical, and he comes in towards the tail end with some nice harmonies closing out the track.

GRAY, Code Kunst & Woo Won Jae establish new music label “duover” !

After GRAY, Woo Wonjae and Code Kunst left AOMG this year — on March 28th and April 25th respectively — they have teamed up and established the new music label duover. This was announced via IG on May 31, 2024.

[schives]

come through, you can bring your friends they could come too.. ima bring my guys 😵

[appareils-futiles]

“They just talk and talk reveal your calculating lies, even when I notice that you’re lying and dont show my emotions yours shamelessly look so big. The fight here is all about ego, not ideology, spread your legs as much as your ego, so I can get far from you. The things I thought were fertilizer were just shit. Put your hands together, that’s nothing more than two brains. Lie, all you want. I just smile. Affection is just a luxury, you survive only when you hit the break-even point. Plus, you start to make sense after drinking a few shots with me. It’s already late when you look back after feeling suspicious. Youre premonitions don’t miss when someone’s shaking. 

My father used to tell me the enemy is always near you, look around 90 out of 100 it’s all obvious”

Reblog and put in the tags if you have a cool/non-default ringtone, and what it is or is from (if it’s from something)

[khiphop-discussions]

What’s your thoughts on Duover? (New label with former aomg artist.) Think more artist will leave and join them?

Duover is a funny name lol. Punny.

I don't think anything yet to be honest. I was watching an interview/short show with Gray. I wasn't able to finish but I watched about a minute and Gray said he wanted to do his own thing for a while. I was wondering if that meant a label of his own or just being independent. Seems like he opted for the label with his friends!

I wonder if this will be an Illionaire thing where it's just those 3 (Woo, Code Kunst, and Gray) or if they will make something bigger like AOMG.

I'll try to post the link to that Gray video when I have time!
