MCL HCS BECAUSE I MISS HSL SO BADLY
- armin and castiel have better friendship then it was showed in the game. i think they bonded about emo bands (my chemical romance, falling in reverse, black veil brides, pierce the veil and more), since its kinda obvious that castiel listens to this type of music and as a „weird gamer kid” i can assure you armin does as well
- on the topic of armins music taste he probably had a weird obsession with a kpop gg. since hsl lasted for like 8 years in our time but for the characters it was 1,5 years idk which gg i could give him. so i would say it would be girls’ generation, blackpink or loona, depends on when do we want to place hsl in our time.
- armin and castiel are bisexual, lysander just labels himself as queer and demisexual, kentin is straight and nath also straight but he had his bicurious moment
- on the bi curious nath topic, when he started to get along with armin, he thought he developed a crush on him. but turns out it wasn’t the case he was just never this close with someone so poor guy got confused (i dont blame him tbh)
- armin would say „this one is for u shawty” and the miss the basketball shot
- if we would place hsl in 2020/2021 i think that armin would get all the guys to pkay genshin and they would be totally obsessed about it for a few good months
- i feel like armin and kentin would vape and castiel would make fun of them and call them pussies for not smoking cigarettes (it would be playfully tho)
- kentin is insecure about his height so he would buy doc martens with platforms or would wear those weird platform insoles (im sorry i saw them on tiktok ad last week and i haven’t stopped thinking about them)
- lysander got the „three cheers for sweet revenge” cover on his notebook cover
- also i think lysander would cry to helena by mcr
- i kinda hate to say it but kentin would record and post thirst traps on tiktok
- armin used to have an obsession with mbti
- lysander forgets to reply to the messages and either replies in the middle of the night because he wokes up in cold sweat remembering the unread message or he forgets what he wanted to reply so he just sends monkey gifs

Take A Break
Idol: Lalisa Manoban (Blackpink)
Anon: heyy can I ask for a Lisa scenario where the reader is stressed with work/college but Lisa wants her to relax (and her attention) so she tries to distract the reader. Thank you!!
☕buy me a coffee☕
Tumblr media
Lisa really should have thought things through when she decided to come and visit you during your finals week. Since it was the busiest season for you, she actually had the time to finally relax since Blackpink had been given a break.
Of course, she had to sneak her way to your apartment, it wasn’t that much of a problem thanks to her disguise, acting like she was any other resident that lived there.
Which she technically was, with the amount of times she’s stayed over just because she wanted to be with you.
Though she has an apartment of her own, separate from Blackpink’s dorm, she’s tried to convince you countless times to just move in with her, but in the end, you’ve only agreed to staying at her apartment when she was around because you didn’t want to get too comfortable and end up getting caught.
The last thing either of you needed was a scandal right now.
But as soon as your girlfriend stepped into your apartment, she was surprised to see you already up and about with various papers scattered around the living room and your body bunched over one of your books, highlighter in hand before shifting to grab your pen and write down notes on a notebook that was placed on the other side of your laptop.
“Babe?” She called out after setting her things down and you look up briefly, letting her catch a glimpse of your exhausted features before returning to your work. “Hey, Lisa. You didn’t tell me you were coming over.” You say mindlessly as she carefully steps over some of your papers in case they were all important.
Her lips pursed together before she took a seat on the couch and peeked at what you were reading. “Well, considering that hasn’t been a problem before, I thought you didn’t mind it.” She informs you, only receiving a hum in response before her brows furrowed together. “I texted you, ten minutes ago.”
“That’s nice.” You muttered without looking up from your work and your girlfriend pouted before she reached over to place both hands on your shoulders, immediately catching your attention, before she started to massage them and letting your tense muscles to relax while a groan passed your lips.
She was worried with how tired you looked, and judging by the amount of work scattered in front of you, along with the dark bags under your eyes, it was easy for her to tell that you haven’t had much sleep or a break.
“When was the last time you at least took a nap or had a full meal?” She inquired as you sighed as she continued to work on your tense shoulders. “I don’t know.” You mutter while leaning against her legs and she pouts before pressing a kiss on the top of your head.
Reaching for her phone with one hand, the other stays on your head, playing with your hair before she’s ordering your favorite because she knows that you’re more than hungry after all the studying you’ve been doing.
“Can you take a break for a while? It’s the weekend and you should be resting.” She tells you and you let out a sigh while staring at her bright and pleading eyes. “Lisa, you know that I need to study.” You try telling her, but she shook her head at you. “You don’t have to study until you’re barely standing, Y/n. You need to take breaks, too.” She urges, the concern clear on her features.
You stare at her for a while before shaking your head. “Just take a nap for five minutes, as in an actual nap, and then eat the food when it gets here.” She negotiates and you really couldn’t say no because you know she’s only looking out for you.
So you agree, picking up your things and setting them neatly aside just so you don’t lose any of the things you’ve gathered and noted whilst your girlfriend happily fixed the couch so she could lay with you and hold you while waiting for the food.
This woman knew you like the back of her hand, so she made sure that all your studying materials were set aside and nowhere near your line of sight to taunt you into going back to studying until she deemed that you had enough energy in you to continue.
When you come back, she stretches her arms out for you before you had allowed her to pull you onto the couch and then laid you down, her body soon laying on top of you with her chin against your chest when she looked at you with big doe eyes.
“What?” You yawn and she pouts before moving to kiss your chin. “You’re tired.” She points out and you lightly roll your eyes at her, making her pinch your side. “Ow!” She pouts more and you let out a sigh before pulling her closer to you. “I know, I’m just... this is a big deal. I don’t want to flunk this test, I need to graduate.” You mumble and she turns her head so her cheek was pressed against your collarbone.
Laying in absolute silence, Lisa smiled as she listened to the gentle beating of your heart before she shut her eyes. “I missed you.” She muttered before feeling your hand rest against her back. “I missed you, too. Sorry I’ve been busy with all this studying.” You tell her and she shakes her head before reaching to take your hand in hers.
“You’re doing great. And I understand that you’re busy, just like me. But I just want you to be taking care of yourself when I’m not here, too.” She muttered and you can’t help but smile at how adorable she was being before you leaned to press a quick kiss at the top of her head.
That made the girl grin before she looked at you, her eyes twinkling as she puckered her lips. “You haven’t given me a proper kiss.” She states and you squint at her. “I thought you wanted me to nap?” But she’s already smirking at you before poking your nose. “I said to nap for at least five minutes, but I didn’t say right now.”
You had to stop yourself from groaning as she giggled and then nuzzled her head to your neck, placing a light kiss against it that you just couldn’t really get mad at her when she’s being this cute.
“You’re a hindrance to my studies.” You tell her, but you both know that you don’t mean it because of how your hold on her tightens. “We both know that you love me.”
Huffing, you shut your eyes, yawning and Lisa takes that as a sign before she slowly lifted her head to look down at you, a fond smile on her face when she sees your peaceful expression. “Can we at least cuddle in bed? The couch is less comfier.” She asks quietly and you hum before slowly sitting up with her in your lap.
The two of you get up, but she has yet to release your waist as you tiredly walk over to your room, clinging to you like a koala before you bring her to the bed and get under the covers with her.
Her smile widens when she hears the soft sigh escaping your lips when you feel more comfortable in bed than when you were on the couch and it doesn’t take long before your breathing evens out.
As she lays with you, the dancer hums while letting her eyes roam over your features. Carefully, her thumb runs along your jaw as she let out a content sigh.
She’d stay awake while waiting for your food to arrive, making sure that there was nothing to disturb your sleep. You were working hard and it didn’t take a genius to know that you were tired. Lisa knows you’re usually a light sleeper, but given your exhaustion, she was able to slip out of bed to grab the food when it arrived without waking you up.
Since she had time, Lisa ended up setting the food on the table and cleaned up the rest of your living room, seeing that there were a few things out of place, thinking you would be able to work better with a tidy environment.
While she was cleaning though, she hadn’t expected you to wake up so soon. So she was a little surprised to feel arms snake around her waist and your weight pressing against her back.
“You said five minutes.” You muttered against her shoulder and she giggled when she hears the sleepiness in your voice, squeezing your hands as she turned her head to kiss the top of yours.
“Sorry, but you looked so peaceful. I didn’t have the heart to wake you, plus the food arrived.” She gestured to the table and you huff while nodding your head. “You’re staying?”
Her heart melts at the tone of your voice, turning in your arms to give you a proper kiss before holding you against herself with a smile. “If course I’m staying.”
“There’s no other place I’d rather be.”

First Everything
Tumblr media
First Everything Bambam x Fem Reader Genre: fluff, a little angst Words: 9.2k [Masterlist in blog description] Plot: Sequel to Muse (Arranged Marriage AU) Part of the Marriage Life AU series. A series of dates in which Bambam tries his hardest (poor boy) to convince you that he really, really wants to be with you. a/n – lol idunno how I feel about this but here you go~
-
When the door of the restaurant opens, Bambam’s eyes dart over to the bodies entering for the umpteenth time. When it’s not you, he sighs, rubbing sweaty palms over the deep purple suede of his pants. The designer material darkens under his touch, but he’s too nervous to fret over his outfit at the moment.
He’s beginning to regret not picking you up at your place. He should have been more insistent. But the choice was made and now he is here, leg shaking in his chair of the Michelin star restaurant that he’s not quite sure you’re even going to meet him at.
He gulps down his second glass of water, throat parched at just the thought of getting stood up. He eats at this place at least three times a month. How embarrassing would it be for everyone to witness this rejection?
The door opens again and Bambam jerks his head up like a meerkat. An elderly woman walks in, much to his disappointment. 
He sinks into the plush seat, tipping the glass to his lips again only to find it empty. A waitress promptly comes over to refill his glass, relieving him of the menacing view of the restaurant door for a fleeting moment. 
What’s wrong with him? Bambam hasn’t been this nervous since
well, high school.
-
“Kun
pi
mook uh Bu—”
Bambam rolls his eyes at the freshmen English teacher, Mr. Kim, butchering his name. “I just go by Bambam,” comes his automatic response.
Mr. Kim breaks into a sigh of relief, taking pen to clipboard, “Great, Bambam it is.”
But Bambam has already zoned out. 
Because right across from him is you—an unassuming girl in the back seat, smiling to yourself. Your lips move as you tilt your head down, but Bambam knows exactly what you’ve mouthed and his heart catches in his throat. Bambam.
His name makes your cheeks dimple. 
He doesn’t know why, but this little bit of knowledge makes his chest squeeze.
The next day and every day after, Bambam makes sure to sit next to you. Thus, began the beginning of your beautiful love story


is what he had hoped. 
But after the first day of high school, you don’t even spare him a glance. So instead, Bambam spends every hour of English period watching you from his peripheral. 
You are a quiet student and most days you spend the hour doodling in the margins of your notebook. Often, your doodles are centered around cute cartoons yelling at you to pay attention in class. Every once in a while, he’ll catch a funny caricature of one of your classmates.
Maybe you’ll draw him one day, he hopes to himself.
(You don’t.)
“Bambam and Y/N, please read the next passage,” Mr. Kim interrupts his daydreams one day, about a month into the new school year.
His eyes widen, fingers flipping through the pages of Romeo and Juliet.
“Page 46,” you whisper as you get up from your seat.
Bambam lets out a breath, thumbing to the right page as he stands from his seat beside yours. He squares his shoulders, attempting to stand tall though his shoulders only manage about an inch higher than yours, but every inch counts!
“If I profane,” you whisper when he doesn’t begin reading. 
Mr. Kim looks at Bambam pointedly.
“If I proFANE!” he starts loudly, cringing when his voice cracks. His classmates snicker, making his cheeks go red, but you don’t even flinch. Your eyes remain steady on the page of your own book, waiting for him to continue. He clears his throat, “If I p-profane with my unworthiest hand, this holy shrine, the gentle fine is this: my
lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand, to smooth that rough touch
with a tender k-kiss.”
Bambam swallows, wiping a sweaty palm on his khaki pants. He prays no one notices his stutter. If you do, you don’t let on, lowering the book as you speak.
“Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much, which mannerly devotion shows in this; for saints have hands that pilgrims' hands do touch, and palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss.”
“Ha-”
“You guys,” Mr. Kim sighs, interrupting Bambam. He looks around the room with a scowl. “Can we not read this out like robots, please? This is young love! They’re talking about kissing! Be more excited!”
“Is that what they’re talking about?” you mutter under your breath, eyebrows arching as you scanned the page.
Bambam snorts before covering his mouth with his hand quickly. You catch the sound though, looking up at him with a smile. 
His heart catches in his throat. 
The playful glint in your eyes keeps him afloat for months after.
-
When the restaurant doors open again, Bambam chokes on his water. He coughs into the red linen napkin, his grey contact eyes watering. He can’t help chuckling despite it all though. 
You’re here. And fortunately for Bambam, your gaze is focused on the hostess. You’re asking her something, probably for directions to his table. You lean towards the hostess’ podium, the heels of your blush-colored flats rising to your tiptoes out of habit even though you are at least a foot clear of the podium. You have on your signature cream oversized knit cardigan which you pull tighter to your chest, covering the simple white dress beneath. 
It is so very you—even the stroke of blue paint at the bottom of your dress (which you probably aren’t aware of). On any other girl, Bambam would have scrutinized the stain, especially at a restaurant of this class. Yet, on you, the mark is somehow endearing. 
He wonders if the paint stain is fresh. Were you so absorbed in a painting that you came rushing straight here with no time to change? Or was this an old stain on a dress you loved so much you couldn’t bear to part ways with it? 
“Hey,” your hesitant voice breaks him out of his thoughts as you take a seat across from him.
“Hi,” he breathes. Underneath the table, he pinches his thigh. Nope, not a dream. 
“Sorry I kept you waiting, I had a hard time finding the entrance,” you chuckle to yourself. There’s a story behind that smile, there always seems to be a story behind every expression and gesture you make. He wonders if he’ll ever be part of that story. When he doesn’t respond, you tilt your head nervously. “Were
you waiting long?”
“Oh! Ha, no, not at all!” Bambam straightens in his seat.
You smile politely before turning away to admire the place. It’s a beautiful French restaurant that sits at the top of one of Seoul’s tallest hotels. The entire restaurant is surrounded by floor to ceiling windows, offering a spectacular view of the city. Your eyes linger on the glittering lights of Seoul’s Friday night skyline.
Bambam doesn’t bother to glance out the window. His eyes remain on you, the glow of the candle at the center of the table flickers like stardust on your skin.
When you finally look back, Bambam leans on the table, lifting a proud brow. “Like the view?”
“This place is breathtaking,” you admit, fingers rubbing absentmindedly at the ends of your sleeves.
“Right? It’s one of my favorite places in the city,” he smiles triumphantly. “Wait ‘til you try the food.”
“Do you come here often?”
“Yeah, Lisa introduced me to this place a year ago and I’ve been coming ever since.”
“L-Lisa? Like
from Blackpink?” you look at him with wide eyes.
“Yeah, that Lisa, she’s a homie.”
You blink at him. “Wow, okay
cool.”
He pauses, not quite sure how to read your tone. Before he can ask though, the waitress interrupts with the usual spiel on menus and dishes of the night. When you read through the menu, your eyes grow big.
“My card is still on file, right?” Bambam asks, quick to assuage your worries. His card has been on file for months now. 
“Yes, it should be, but I can check again for you,” the waitress smiles at him politely, knowing just as well that Bambam already knows this. He winks at her as she leaves before turning back to you.
Unlike his expectations though, the crease between your brow only deepens. He clears his throat, rubbing his palms against his thighs again.
“Anything catch your eye?”
You force out a smile, putting down your menu. “I can eat anything. Why don’t you decide?”
Bambam lifts a brow but nods in agreement. He wonders if French cuisine just isn’t your thing. He should have listened to Yugyeom and gone Japanese, huh? You can’t go wrong with omakase!
“Do you like wine?” he blurts, trying to get his best friend’s voice out of his head. 
“Oh,” your eyes dart to the clear glass cases at the center of the restaurant showcasing their selection. You sink into your seat a little. “Well, I’m not really an expert, but I can drink it. Do you like wine?”
“I’ll let you try my favorite bottle! It’ll go great with the usual course I order,” he smiles, quite pleased with his decision.
“Sounds good,” you nod curtly.
After Bambam puts in the order, an uncomfortable silence follows. Your eyes keep traveling around the room like you don’t want to look at him. And Bambam, who could easily entertain an entire party of people at any given moment, finds himself at a loss for words. There’s probably a stain on his thighs now from how often he keeps wiping his palms. He’s too afraid to check. 
“So,” he starts, extending the single word uneasily. He doesn’t manage to figure out the rest of his sentence though. 
But it’s then that you finally break into a smile. A real one.
“Bambam,” you let out, and his eyes dart to your cheek where the ghost of a familiar dimple lays. “Are you feeling as awkward as I am?”
“More like nervous,” he confesses, leaning back into his seat.
Your brows raise, “You? Nervous?”
“It happens when I’m with beautiful people.”
You roll your eyes, “Says the same guy who’s ‘homies’ with Blackpink’s Lisa.”
Bambam grins, “When you meet her, you’ll see, she’s a bro.”
You arch your brows, clearly not believing him. “If she’s a bro, I can’t imagine what I am.”
You’re frowning and his heart sinks. He hates that you actually mean it. He hates that he can’t even tell you honestly what you mean to him. It’s way too soon for that kind of confession. He’s sure you wouldn’t take him seriously anyways. After all, he barely managed to even get this date.
-
Yn_ig: The animes lied to me. High school sucks.
Bambam snorts loudly, muffling himself beneath his blue checkered duvet before his mom can hear and yell at him to go to sleep.
It’s midnight and tomorrow will be the first day of sophomore year. He really should be sleeping, but instead he’s smiling stupidly at his phone. Your scowling face lights up his screen. Your best friend smiles brightly beside you, poking your cheek with the end of a paintbrush. You had spent your break taking an art class.
Bambam knows this because he’s been stalking your Instagram, although he’s been too afraid to like any of your posts.
You’ve gotten a lot better in the span of a few weeks though. Or at least, that’s what it seems like from having spent all of freshmen year watching you doodle in the margins. He wonders if he’ll get to sit beside you this year too. His stomach flips at the thought.
When morning comes, Bambam yawns loudly, his eyes barely open as he rushes to the bus stop. He hadn’t meant to stay up so late, but one thing led to another and suddenly he was on Soundcloud, listening to an indie artist by the name of Defsoul, who you had commented about on your friend’s Instagram post fifteen weeks ago. 
He pulls out his phone, plugging in his earphones to continue listening. He steps into the bus, in the middle of bopping his head to a song when the sound escapes him and all he can hear is the thumping of his heart.
You’re sitting near the back, looking out the window. You have on headphones and a scowl that looks just like the picture you posted last night. 
Steadying his breath, he walks past you and slides into the row of seats right behind yours. He wonders if you’re listening to the same song.
Maybe you’ll share the same homeroom this year. The entire bus ride to school, Bambam daydreams about all the conversations you’d share every morning if that were the case. He’d talk to you about Defsoul and then you’d share your stories about break. He’d tell you his was alright, but it would’ve been better if you two hung out. You’d give him that look, the same one you gave when you read out loud together, and then he’d poke your cheek like he’s always wanted to, right where your cheeks dimpled.
His bubble bursts as soon as a guy takes a seat beside you. Bambam can’t remember his name, but his face is familiar. He’s a senior, and by the way you move your headphones to the nape of your neck and smile, it seems like you know him. Holding his breath, Bambam pauses his song.
“2A? That used to be my homeroom!”
Bambam clenches his fist. His homeroom is at the other end of the hall from yours. Frowning, he eyes the back of the guy’s head as he leans into you.
“So, have you thought about what I asked over break?”
You fold your arms across your chest and Bambam can’t help but wonder what he’s asked of you. Is it a date? The way he whispers seems like it would be that kind of thing, and Bambam doesn’t doubt a girl like you must have a lot of admirers. Is it making you uncomfortable? Should he interrupt you two? But then, you’d clearly know he had been eavesdropping. But if this guy was making you uncomfortable, that shouldn’t matter, right?
Thighs straining, Bambam almost stands from his seat when you laugh. It’s the loudest he’s ever heard you, at least in person anyways.
“I thought you’d forget by now,” you chuckle.
The guy feigns offense, holding a hand to his chest. “Me? Forget about you? I see you think very highly of me, Y/N.”
Bambam rolls his eyes.
“Sure you aren’t just trying to dump all your responsibilities on me?” you pout. Bambam melts inside.
“Ha, you caught me!” the senior laughs, making you laugh too. It’s such a pretty ring to his ears, Bambam already knows he’ll be thinking about it for the next couple of weeks. “But you know I wouldn’t give it up to just anyone. It’s practically my baby.”
“That’s true,” you admit, chuckling, and then quieter, “You think I can do it?”
He put an arm around your shoulder, pulling you close. Bambam squeezes his fist.
“Not just doing it. I know you’ll be a great president,” he tells you confidently. Your ears go red, and if Bambam weren’t so focused on the hand on your shoulder, he would’ve found it very endearing.
“I don’t know, I just
” you pause nervously.
“Yo,” Mingyu breaks Bambam’s concentration. “2D?”
Bambam breaks into a smile, highfiving his friend as he takes the seat next to him. “2D!”
“Sweet!” Mingyu cheers, shoulders bumping against his playfully. “Kook’s with us too. It’s gonna be a wild year!”
Bambam laughs, shaking his head. “You guys are gonna get us kicked back a year.”
His friend whistles. “Girls are into older guys, Bam, it’ll be like one of those harem animes Kook loves so much!”
Bambam laughs, but it doesn’t quite reach his eyes as he glances back at the hand still on your shoulder. He hopes that’s not the case for you.
-
“It got cold,” Bambam musters as the two of you leave the restaurant.
You nod, looking up at the night sky. “Seems like winter doesn’t want to leave us yet.”
The two of you pause by the curb, in front of the valet. 
“Are you sure you had a good time, Y/N? You barely touched your food.”
You look up in surprise. “Oh, I really did have a nice time, Bambam.”
He looks at you skeptically.
“The uh, the
gourdine?”
“BouchĂ©e Ă  la pĂ©rigourdine?”
“Yeah, that!” you chuckle awkwardly. “That was delicious.”
Bambam still doesn’t believe you but you look uncomfortable, so he lets it go. Actually, you’ve been looking uncomfortable ever since you laid eyes on the menu. Most of his dates took advantage of his generosity, especially at a place like this—ordering the most expensive dishes and trying out all the wine. You though? You insisted on being full after the first course. When he asked you what your thoughts were on his favorite bottle of wine, you mumbled something incoherent as you tipped the entire glass down your throat. You only had water after that.
It was like you couldn’t get out of there fast enough.
Maybe he had read things wrong. He thought you were at least interested in him too. The night of Mark’s fashion launch, the two of you had shared so many things—secrets, confessions, old memories and what he thought had been chemistry.
He glances over your way. You’re turned away from him, eyes watching the valet workers instead. You had admitted to hating him in the past. His stomach sinks at the thought that maybe you still do. 
You shiver, pulling your cardigan closer to your chest. Bambam unwraps his scarf, holding out his hand for you to take it.
“Oh, I’m alright,”
He lets out a soft sigh before stepping in front of you.
“Do you maybe,” Bambam asks softly, placing his scarf gently around the nape of your neck. “I don’t know, it’s Friday, we could walk around or something or
”
He doesn’t finish his sentence, instead biting on the tip of his tongue as he wraps the cashmere cloth securely around you.
Your fingers brush against his, just barely, but he feels it tenfold. “It’s getting late
”
Bambam tries not to look too hurt when he smiles back at you. “I’ll drive you home then.”
-
A week later, Bambam finds himself outside of your studio apartment. When you open the door, you’re wide-eyed and frozen like you’ve seen a ghost. In your defense though, Bambam doesn’t look like himself. He hasn’t ever since the night you left him at this exact spot last week.
Dark circles line his eyes and his newly dyed black hair only makes his complexion paler. 
“Is everything okay, Bambam?” you ask finally.
He sighs, squeezing at the bridge of his nose. His gold frames lift at the gesture.
“I’m sorry,” he mutters, “I probably should have called first.”
“Hey,” you place your palm gently on his arm. “Why don’t you come in first.”
Bambam lets you tug him inside like a lost puppy. His eyes travel around the room. Of course, he’s seen your place before in videos, but it’s different being here now. He doesn’t expect the smell of ginger and lemongrass to greet him. The longer he lingers, the more aware he becomes of the subtle scent of jasmine rice wafting in from the open kitchen. It’s comforting.
Your bedroom door is open, and he can see you’re working on a series of paintings. The canvases line your wooden floors in a haphazard row across the room. 
You sit him down on your couch, a worn out burgundy but the geometric pattern is intricate despite its faded color. He lets his finger trail over a line while you poor him a cup of water.
“Your hair is black,” you break the silence. 
“Oh,” he runs a hand through his hair like he is discovering this for the first time too. A faint pink colors his cheeks.
“I like it,” you smile softly. “It suits you.”
“Thanks,” he utters. His eyes trail down your hands. Your thumb smooths down your own cup of water repeatedly. Your fingers are speckled with green paint.
When he doesn’t say anything more, you chuckle softly to yourself. He looks at you in surprise.
“I like this new look,” you explain, eyes gesturing to his outfit. Today, Bambam is in a simple white t-shirt and black ripped jeans. Granted, the t-shirt is still Tom Ford, but you don’t know that. More noticeably though, is what he is not wearing, no sparkling diamonds around his neck, no Rolex on his wrist. Only a plain, silver ring adorns his right pinky. “So, why are you here, Bambam?”
He winces inwardly, reality setting in on him. Why is he here? Because the hair dye didn’t work? Because he agreed to too many projects in an attempt to keep busy but now he’s just tired and confused? Because Yugyeom pushed him out of the office and told him to figure things out?
Because no matter what he does, he keeps thinking about last week’s date and how you looked at him right before going inside—the mixture of disappointment and sadness in your eyes that felt like he had lost it all.
“Bambam?”
“Did I do something wrong?”
His question catches you off guard. “What? No, of course not.”
“You didn’t like the food,”
“The food was delicious.”
“Then it was me. I was boring.”
“Are you really Bambam? Where did all your confidence go?” you joke, lifting a brow.
His shoulders slouch. You make his confidence deplete like he is fourteen again. When he doesn’t say anything, you put your cup down onto the coffee table and look him in the eye.
“Hey, really, it had nothing to do with you Bambam, and everything to do with me.”
He chuckles dryly. “I don’t need a ‘it’s not you, it’s me’ to soften the blow. You can give it to me straight.”
You look at him with a frown, lips threatening to jut into a pout and if Bambam weren’t about to get his heart crushed, he would’ve found your expression to be very adorable. Well, okay, that’s a lie, he still finds you very adorable right now.
“It’s really not you,” you purse your lips together, looking away. “I just
I was very out of place there, Bambam.”
“Wha-”
“I couldn’t pronounce half the menu,” you continue, cheeks flushing with embarrassment. “Or the wine.”
“But it tasted good?”
“Yeah,” you chuckle, looking at him. “It was amazing, Bambam. But that one meal cost about half the month’s rent of this place!”
Bambam doesn’t mean to, but he laughs at your outburst. He is reminded of himself a few years ago when he first became friends with Jackson Wang, who gifted him a set of Cartier jewelry on his birthday.
When he sees your face, he immediately stops laughing. “Wait, I’m not laughing at you!”
“Yeah, sure,” you roll your eyes, but it’s a harmless gesture. Rising from your seat, you look at him, “Is that all you came here for?”
“Well, no.”
Your brows lift.
“There’s this event,” Bambam rushes, digging into the pocket of his jeans. “Actually, I was working on this mini documentary with this artist and he’s opening up a new exhibit this weekend.”
He raises the tickets tentatively towards you but freezes when your eyes bug out.
“Yoshitomo Nara?” You practically scream, falling back onto the couch right beside Bambam. You smell warm and sweet and the memory of the night you shared a few weeks ago flickers in the back of his mind. 
“Yoshitomo Nara,” he confirms softly.
You frown his way, though it quickly turns into a smile, “Well, that’s just not fair. You know how much he means to me.”
“I do,” he smiles quietly.
“So you came here to bribe me?”
He laughs, “More or less. Is that a yes?”
You smile, thumbs smoothing over the tickets repeatedly. 
“Jokes on you, Bambam. I would’ve said yes even without these tickets.”
Somehow, he doesn’t quite believe you, but you are giggling, and he has a date. 
And that is all that matters.
-
Bambam sits nervously on a stool of the art studio, his fingers twisting the lens of an old DSLR he’s still not confident about using. From the elevated windows above, the pink evening sky illuminates. Everything about this moment seems picturesque. If Bambam could use his camera properly, he would’ve known. 
But instead, the camera remains abandoned in his grasp as he stares in front of him where you stand in front of your easel mere meters away. It’s just the two of you. Everyone from both the photography and the painting club had gone home already. After seeing you continue to paint, Bambam had insisted on staying behind to practice with his camera more.
To be honest, he is hungry and could care less about photography, but he can’t find himself to go home.
“Hey,” you twist around and Bambam’s mind spins.
“H-hey,” he musters up, still unconvinced you’re talking to him.
He blinks owlishly at you, and then, his stomach growls. Loudly. His ears turn so red and he feels like he’s been set on fire, but you don’t even react.
“Mind if I play music?”
“Uh, yeah
that’s fine,” he answers you meekly, eyes diverting in embarrassment.
“Cool,” you reply nonchalantly, walking up to his side of the room where the speakers are. Plugging in your phone, the familiar tune of Defsoul’s music fills the studio. It takes Bambam a minute to get over his own mortification before the music reaches his ears and he perks up. But when he looks around the room, you are gone.
Alone now, Bambam finds the courage to get up from his seat and approaches your easel. The chair beside your easel is stacked with art books of Yoshitomo Nara. It seems you are doing a study. Just like the angry little girls on the cover of the art books, your easel holds a portrait of a little girl too. It is different though.
When he looks at the girl in your painting, he sees you. The little girl holds the ghost of a smirk beneath her scowl and her eyes glint with secrets of mischief, just like you. Without thinking, Bambam takes a step back and raises his camera. 
“Like it?”
Bambam jumps in surprise, the flash of the camera going off before it slips from his hands entirely. Flustered, he rushes to bring the camera back into his grasp, thanking god he had kept the old leather strap around his neck.
You giggle softly, standing beside him. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to surprise you.”
“It’s alright, I was just spacing out,” he mumbles sheepishly, eyes averting to the screen of his camera. You lean in, filling his senses with faint notes of your strawberry vanilla shampoo. “I’m still learning how to use the camera.”
“I like it,” you smile, looking up at him. “Can you send it to me?”
“I-really?” he looks at you surprised. Your painting isn’t in focus and off centered. The photo is not good, even Bambam knows it.
“Yeah, gives me album cover vibes,” you chuckle. 
He snorts. “When is your mixtape dropping?”
You grin, raising a brow. “You never know what could happen in the future, Bambam.”
He shrugs, pretending not to melt at the sound of his name on your tongue. He didn’t think you’d remember him.
“Here,” you hand him a bag of cheese puffs before opening your own bag. “The vending machine popped out two.”
“Oh, thanks.”
Bambam walks back to his seat, gaze on your back again as you return to painting. He glances at the blurry photo on the screen of his camera and then slowly, he raises his camera once more, one eye squinting into the viewfinder. 
Maybe photography isn’t so bad after all.
He snaps another photo. Click!
-
“Wait, this is a formal thing? Should I change?”
Bambam watches with amusement as you bounce nervously in front of his car. You are dressed in a plain pink tank top and matching satin wrap skirt. Of course, your classic cream cardigan drapes over you, and to his pleasure, so does his scarf from your last date.
“You look beautiful,” he reassures you.
You bite at your lip, unconvinced. “But you’re in a suit.”
“Okay, but when am I not?”
Your pout reluctantly turns into a smile and you huff, walking through the door he’s holding open for you, into the passenger’s seat. When he gets into the driver’s seat, you turn to him.
“When you’re wearing your designer gym clothes,” you smirk.
“Stop, you aren’t allowed to make jokes while I’m driving,” he laughs, pulling the car out of the driveway. “Also, tracksuits are still suits.”
Your giggles ring throughout the car.
When the two of you get to the venue, the place is already busy. The exhibition is part of the new contemporary art wing in the museum, which has been closed for the night for an intimate opening with select guests. Many of these guests are artist friends of Yoshitomo Nara, but even more are the wealthy collectors who are more than eager to call first dibs on the latest works. The only reason Bambam has been invited is because his mini documentary of the artist is playing on loop in one of the screening rooms.
While he loves art, these type of art scenes are not his thing. They’re a bit too stuffy for his taste and exactly why he dropped out of art school in the first place. But when he sees the way you seem to shrink into your cardigan as soon as you step into the gallery, he squares his shoulders and grabs hold of your hand.
You look surprised by his touch, but thankfully, you don’t pull away.
“You have to get used to these kinds of events, Y/N. You’ll be hosting them soon.”
You chuckle, glancing away. “Well, if I’m lucky, you’ll be hosting them.”
It’s his turn to blush now, but he pretends to be cool, pointing to the first painting to the right. “Shall we start here?”
You only grin, gripping his hand tighter. You seemed to get a little too much joy out of making him feel shy. Bambam can only sigh, quietly relishing in the warmth of your palm against his.
When you finally turn your attention to the paintings, the two of you look on in silence. Naturally, Bambam’s gaze falls onto you. There is a glimmer in your eyes, emotions passing through your features like its own movie. There is a lift of revelation in your brow, a scrunch of displeasure in your nose, the twitch of amusement on your lips.
Bambam fights the urge to take out his phone and record you. Instead, he follows after you, committing your profile to memory.
“Why do you like this guy so much?” he blurts out after passing a few paintings. You peel your eyes away to look at him in surprise, cheeks rosy.
“I-I don’t know, I’ve just loved his works since high school.”
“Sorry, I didn’t mean for the question to come out harsh. I was just curious, I mean, his art is really nice.”
You squeeze his hand, calming him. “I know. I guess I was just drawn to his characters. They’re cute, but rebellious and real. It’s charming.”
Bambam smiles. That’s how he feels about you. 
“And it blurs the lines of what is fine art,” you go on, turning back to the painting in front of you. “Like right now, it is hanging in this museum, so it’s considered high end art, right? But this girl can easily be inside a children’s book, and his previous works have.”
You glance back at him, looking embarrassed after your spiel. “I don’t know.”
He doesn’t let you skirt over the topic though as he follows you to the next painting. “Is that why you dropped out of school?”
You sigh. “There were a lot of reasons. Maybe my skin wasn’t thick enough.”
“No, I get it,” he rubs his thumb across your skin. “I don’t like museums much, to be honest. I like the idea of them, but in reality, places like these only cater to the gatekeepers and the gatekeepers are just boring ass, tax-evading millionaires.”
You laugh, leaning into his chest as if that’ll rid you of the attention you’ve already gained around your corner of the room. Bambam ignores their stares, laughing along with you.
“Your art shouldn’t be jailed up in this stale room,” he adds, after your giggling subsides.
“But yours is,” you chuckle, making your way into the dark screening room.
Projected onto the wall is Yoshitomo Nara talking midsentence about his latest artworks. You take a seat on the bench before gesturing for Bambam to take a seat next to you.
“This is filmed beautifully,” you lean into him to whisper. The action makes him smile since you are the only two in this room, but if it’ll bring you closer, he doesn’t mind. “You’re really talented, Bambam.”
“I have a good team with me.”
“I always knew you’d make it big.”
He smiles quietly, watching as the glow of the video illuminated your face. You really did.
-
Yn_ig: This is amazing!
Bambam1a: Thx!
Bambam chucks his phone between his thighs before shoving a spoonful of rice into his mouth to hide the smile spreading across his face. He pretends to laugh at something his brother said, though really, he’s twisting with glee because you just liked his latest post on Instagram. And you commented!
“Remember Bammie, this weekend you’re coming with me to
”
His phone dings and his mom’s voice fades into the background. Grabbing his phone, his stomach flips when he sees your handle name sending you a direct message. Ever since the beginning of junior year, he’s been talking to you over Instagram under the alias Muse_ig. It hadn’t been his intentions to deceive you. He was just nervous about talking to you online, but still wanted a way to support you. One comment on your art led to another and suddenly you were messaging him a thank you. Very quickly, that thank you turned into memes and inside jokes. Now, the two of you were talking to each other almost every night.
He clicks on the notification, nodding blankly to whatever his mom is saying.
Yn_ig: Hey! You said you liked photography, right? You should check him out. He’s my classmate. Really talented guy.
Bambam clutches his phone, trying to keep from jumping out of his seat when he sees you’ve sent his Instagram profile.
“Bammie, are you listening to me?” his mom looks at him pointedly.
He tries to school his expression, but joy floods his face anyways. And despite her tone, his mom smiles too.
“Whoever it is, she can wait. Put your phone away,” she teases, inciting laughter from all his siblings.
Bambam laughs it off goodheartedly, tucking his phone away. You think he’s really talented and nothing can diminish the high that this newfound knowledge brings him. 
Well, nothing except, of course, you.
You see, when Bambam agreed to tagging along with his mom to her new friend’s house so she could introduce their daughter to him, he was expecting to spend a few awkward hours with some strangers. Maybe bond with said daughter over the awkwardness, but then he would go home and play video games and that would be that.
What he doesn’t expect is to greet you first thing at your doorway. He doesn’t expect to sit across from you during dinner. And he definitely doesn’t expect the glare you send him between each bite.
“You really are the prettiest thing!” His mother coos from across the table. “She definitely takes after you.”
“Oh, stop it,” your mom blushes, waving her spoon. “To think our kids already knew each other. This must be fate!”
“Hardly,” you mumble under your breath, but Bambam hears it. His heart breaks.
He can’t even blame you for it though. This dinner hasn’t exactly been easy for you. He remembers your late-night texts a few months ago and now all those self-deprecating comments make sense. Those words you were repeating? The I’m not good enough and I should just give up—They were never yours. It was your parents’.
“Bambam told me she’s one of the smartest in her grade!” his mom continues to compliment. He nods eagerly. Your frown only deepens as you poke at the asparagus on your plate.
“What good are all those As when all she does is doodle?” her mom laments, chuckling weakly. “We put all this money into her education but all she wants to do is draw.”
“Paintings,” Bambam musters. Both his and your mom look at him, surprised. He wipes his palms against his pants. In his peripheral, he knows you’re looking at him too, but he’s too afraid to look at you. “She paints, and she’s really good.”
There’s a pause and Bambam’s entire face heats up.
And then your mom breaks into a laugh. “And I heard you’re doing photography!”
His chest deflates and he nods meekly. 
His mom laughs, hitting him on the back. “Unlike Y/N, Bammie here is terrible at studying. I really hope this hobby takes off.”
“Your mom showed me some of your photos, boy,” your father speaks up gruffly, pointing the steak knife his way. “Keep it up and you’ll earn yourself a free ticket to college.”
Bambam rubs at the nape of his neck, “I don’t know about that.”
“No really, there’s a scholarship, isn’t there, Y/N?” your father insists, looking at you.
You nod, putting down your fork. You look at your dad but it’s clear in your tone that you’re talking to him.
“It’s called the Artisan Award—a full scholarship to your art school of choice. It’s given to one graduating senior for their excellence in art across multiple disciplines—including photography. I’ll be applying to it next year.” You don’t even offer him a glance, focusing instead, on your glass of water.
“Well, you’ll be applying to a lot of scholarships,” your mom chuckles uneasily. “There’s still a year to think things through.”
“You should apply too,” your father adds, looking at him.
“Oh, I don’t know if I’d be any good. Sounds competitive,” Bambam mumbles, glancing at you. You’re scowling down at your plate.
“Wouldn’t hurt to try though,” his mom cuts in, smiling at him. “What are the kids saying nowadays? Have to shoot your shot into the hoop?”
He smiles, pretending to grimace at his mom, making her laugh.
“While we’re at it, let’s apply to the athletic scholarships too,” she jokes.
He laughs, rolling his eyes. “First I have to make a shot into an actual hoop.”
His mom snorts, “It’s okay, if anything you can dropout and become a comedian! We’ve got options.”
The table breaks into laughter but when he glances your way, you are glaring at him.
-
“I still can’t believe you were Muse_ig this whole time. I dropped out because of you,” you giggle, a crumpled brown napkin in one hand while the other cradles a half-eaten slice of pizza. The two of you had stopped for a bite to eat next door to the museum.
“Hey, don’t blame me, I was just sending you encouraging messages. You made the decision,” Bambam whines, one cheek still stuffed full of pizza.
“Only because I had you feeding into my delusions!”
“You mean showing you your true worth?” he corrects.
You smile, leaning onto the table towards him. “Which ultimately pushed me to drop out.”
He sighs, “Okay, fine, you win. Please don’t tell your mom, though. She’ll hate me.”
“Impossible, she loves you.”
“And I’d like to keep it that way.”
You roll your eyes as Bambam finishes his last bite. Sitting in the pizzeria on a Saturday night amongst a crowd of college students from the local university, the two of you stand out like a sore thumb—Bambam, because of his tailored suit that’s probably the same price as some of these students’ tuition, and you, because, well, you’re you. 
In his eyes at least, you always stand out. However, tonight, this is especially so. Unlike your first date, you are laughing and joking together. Maybe he should get pizza with you more often.
“This was nice,” you breathe out as you both step out of the pizzeria. When the restaurant doors close, the loud chatter muffles and is replaced by the quiet night breeze. 
“So,” Bambam lets the word drawl sluggishly, not wanting the night to end, but he is reminded of the last date when you turned him down and hesitates to extend another offer.
“So,” you copy, voice soft as you start walking back towards the museum parking garage. “You never explained why you dropped out. Such a waste of a scholarship,” you tease.
“Ah, that
” Bambam stuffs his hands into the pockets of his pants.
You place a hesitant hand around the crook of his arm and his shoulders relax.
“If it’s a touchy subject, you don’t have to answer.”
He shakes his head, looking down at you. “No, it’s not.”
He opens the passenger door for you, helping you in before heading to his side.
“I guess I didn’t have tough skin either,” he chuckles softly, starting the car. “Some days it really did feel like being jailed inside an art museum. Photography didn’t feel the same without
”
His voice trails and his cheeks heat up. You look at him curiously but he’s too embarrassed to continue. Again, he is reminded by the fact that while you grew up together, the memories you share are quite different.
He glances at you and the way you smile at him is sweet. As if to say, it’s okay to not say anything more. But instead of being comforted, Bambam remembers the way you glared at him from across the dinner table as if it happened yesterday. 
“I liked taking photos of the people I care about. I liked capturing moments that mattered
Feelings that
Art school just made me feel empty. I didn’t know why I was doing it anymore,” he finishes off quickly, looking away from you.
“I get that,” you smile weakly. 
“But look at us now,” Bambam chuckles, lightening the mood. “We’re doing just fine on our own, aren’t we?”
You smile, glancing out the window. “Well, you are.”
“So are you! Aren’t you publishing a children’s book soon?” Bambam keeps his eyes on the road but her can see in his peripheral that you are looking at him in surprise.
“Did Mark
”
At the red light, he glances at you gently. “Your mom told mines. She brags about you when you aren’t around, you know.”
You frown, playing with the strap of the seatbelt.
“I know that’s her way of caring for me.” You finally say. “Sometimes, though, I wish she was more like your mom.”
“Well,” Bambam sends you a quick grin before turning back to the road. “If you marry me, my mom comes with the package too.”
You laugh. It rings throughout the car and sets his own heart at ease.
“You don’t have to bribe me with your mother, Bambam! If anything, I should be bribing you.”
“I’ll take it!”
“What?”
He chuckles. “Whatever the bribe is, I’ll take it. Think City Hall is still open?”
You shake your head, giggling softly. “I still don’t get you.”
“What’s there to get?”
You hum thoughtfully. “A young bachelor like you so eager to marry and me of all people? Who’s holding you against your will?”
At the next red light, Bambam steels himself and turns to you, eyes steady on yours. 
“I like you. A lot. For a while now.”
Despite the dimly lit night, he can see you flush. Your fingers clutch the ends of your cardigan sleeves, a nervous habit.
When you don’t say anything, he continues. “I know your parents kind of forced you into this, but that’s not the case for me. Maybe I’m coming on too strong, This marriage arrangement thing
I get that it’s unnatural. I wish I could’ve gone about this differently, but we’re here now and I’m ready. I know you’re probably not and that’s okay, I get it. But I’m interested, I want to date, I want to go through the whole process with you. Slowly, at our own pace, and if I’m not a good fit
then that’s okay too. But I want to at least try.”
The light turns green and reluctantly, he looks away. The rest of the drive to your place is quiet. When he parks outside your apartment, he smiles as if your silence isn’t eating him alive.
“I had a really nice time, Y/N. I’m glad you came with me tonight.”
“Me too,” you reply, almost a whisper.
When you don’t say anything more, he gets out of the car and walks to your side, helping you with the door. But you don’t get up from your seat.
Instead, you turn to him, eyes staring up at him nervously.
“I like you too.”
It is soft, but his whole chest shakes. Bambam breaks into a smile of joy and relief.
He takes hold of your hand, helping you out of the car. His fingers linger, brushing softly against the tips of yours, and you smile.
“Then, I’ll see you next week at your family dinner?” he asks quietly.
You nod tentatively. You purse your lips, cheeks dimpling shyly. His heart skips as you linger, eyes shimmering under the streetlamp.
And then you lean into him, fingers clutching his and you tiptoe.
It is a fleeting touch—light and feathery on his lips—and then he blinks and you’re stepping away again.
“Night, Bambam.”
“N-night!”
He stays for ten minutes longer, waiting for the light of your apartment to flicker on, his lips still buzzing from your kiss.
-
Bambam’s lips sting from how much he’s been nervously biting them, the high from last week’s date now a fleeting memory. He sits at your parents’ dinner table across from you and it feels like dĂ©jĂ  vu. 
His mom laughs loudly next to him. Someone made a joke or something.
He doesn’t hear it. All he can see is the growing scowl on your face. Whatever feelings you had for him last week seem to be long gone if your expression is anything to go by.
Your mom swirls her glass of wine, leaning into his mom warmly. “When you told me you wanted my daughter to be your daughter-in-law—my daughter, for your Bambam!—I almost fainted!”
“What are you talking about? The minute I saw Y/N, I fell in love at first sight! I’m pretty sure it was the same for Bammie too.”
Bambam flushes, stuffing his cheeks with salad.
“It’s true, isn’t it?” his mom nudges him teasingly and he almost chokes but he nods adamantly towards you.
“You two are so humble,” your dad chuckles.
Your mom seems to nod in agreement. “I’m sure Bambam can find better options out there.”
“Y/N has one good trait though,” your dad adds, laughing. “She won’t cause any trouble as far as the love department goes.”
“Oh, don’t get me started, this girl is so stubborn!” your mom starts up again, waving her spoon accusingly at you. “Always work, work, work with my daughter. It’s all she cares about.”
“Oh, Bammie’s the same,” his mom cuts in, smiling amiably at you. “It’s the younger generation these days. Married to their work so to speak.”
“Bambam’s got a good head on him,” you father nods to him gruffly. “There’s a difference between working hard and working smart.”
“Unfortunately, she’s only good at working hard,” your mother sighs.
Bambam swallows thickly, gaze fixed on your expression. You’ve been chewing on the inside of your cheek since dinner started. He can see the tick in your jaw every time your parents say something mean your way.
At first, you managed to fake a few polite smiles, but now your head was fully down as you played with the rice on your plate.
“I like Y/N’s work ethic,” he finally speaks up. You finally look at him, eyes unreadable. “It’s hard work that brings talent to fruition and Y/N has both.”
Your gaze lingers on him.
“If we’re talking about talent though, we have to talk about your business!” Your mom breaks the air and the ghost of your smile completely vanishes from your face. You don’t look at him for the rest of dinner.
“Ready for dessert?” your mom asks after everyone was done eating.
You scoot your chair, rising from your seat. “Actually, I’m not feeling so well.”
“Oh, are you okay sweetheart?” his mother asks.
You smile apologetically, “So sorry to have to leave first.”
“Of course, honey! Bammie, why don’t you bring her home?”
“Oh no, that’s alright.”
“No, no, let me.” Bambam rises from his seat and takes hold of your hand. He gives you an encouraging squeeze. “Thank you for the meal! I’ll get her home safely.”
When you exit the house, you slip your hand from his. He pretends not to notice, leading you to his car quietly.
-
“Congratulations to our one and only Bambam for winning the Artisan Award, one of the most prestigious art scholarships in the nation.”
The morning announcement rings in his ears and his homeroom bursts in a parade of cheers and congratulations, but his heart lurches and he thinks of you.
He is reminded of the hours you spent afterschool every day in the art studio, working on pieces for your portfolio. He thinks of all the different art programs you attended during school holidays. He remembers your mother’s voice and the way you’d repeat those words during your late-night Instagram messages.
When he sees you at the bus stop immediately after school instead of in the studio, he almost turns the other way, but your eyes meet his and goes to stand next to you instead. You only give him a slight nod before returning to your phone.
It feels like a long time before the bus arrives.
You sit where you always do, near the back, beside the window. He takes the row of seats across from you.
His stomach twists with guilt when he watches your profile. You can probably feel his stare, but you continue to look straight ahead anyways. You’re probably trying hard to look unbothered, but he can see your disappointment clearly. There’s a slouch in your shoulders, a faint frown tilting the edges of your lips.
You are disappointed and probably dislike him right now.
He wonders if you’ll tell him about this over Instagram. He doesn’t know if Muse_ig will be able to console you this time around. He wishes he had the right words to say, but his throat constricts instead.
When your stop arrives, his eyes follow your back as you stand at the door and he beats himself up for having stayed quiet. And when the bus creeps to stop, you hesitate, before turning back to him.
“Congrats, by the way,” you offer him a small smile. “You deserved it.”
You step off the bus before he can say anything back.
You take a different route home for the rest of the school year.
-
At the red light, Bambam looks over at you. You continue looking straight ahead. There’s a sadness beneath your schooled expression, he can feel this in his gut, but he doesn’t know what to say.
“Y/N,” he starts hesitantly.
“The light’s green,” you interrupt.
He turns his attention back to the room. His gut clenches. 
“Cupcake!” he blurts, gripping the wheel.
Your head turns abruptly. “What?”
“C-Cupcake, my cat,” he continues, not quite sure where he’s going with this. “You met her last time.”
After a pause, you reply back, “Yeah, I did.”
“I gave her a haircut. A really bad one. She had a bald spot, so I had to bring her to the groomers to get it fixed,” he rambles. “They tried their best, but she looks really awful right now. It’s pretty funny actually.”
You let out a soft chuckle. “Poor Cupcake.”
He glances at you briefly, his chest fluttering at the sight of your smile again. “You wanna go see my cats? I heard petting cats is therapeutic, although, not much to pet right now.”
Finally, you laugh. 
“Sure, why not.”
When you finally get to his place, he knows he said the right thing. You sit on his couch, surrounded by his cats and a soft smile on your face.
“Awful, isn’t it?” he asks, taking a seat next to you. King jumps into his lap and he scoots closer to you.
“Absolutely terrible,” you chuckle, petting Cupcake gently.
“But you’re feeling better, aren’t you?”
You let out a quiet sigh.
“Bambam,” you look at him and his heart drops. “Maybe we should just stop this.”
“Fourteen!”
Your brows arch. “You really need to stop saying things without context.”
He puts King aside and grabs hold of your hand like a lifeline.
“I was fourteen. You mouthed my name on the first day of school. That’s when I started liking you.”
You blink up at him in surprise.
“The painting and photography club had to share the same classroom and I knew you just became the president. I did my brother’s chores for three weeks just so I could borrow his old camera,” he looks at you nervously. “I wasn’t planning on falling for photography. You’re the reason I’m where I’m at today.”
“Y-you’re giving me too much credit.”
He holds your hands tighter, shaking his head.
“Your parents have a screwed-up way of measuring your worth, but I don’t care about your job or how famous you are. I care about the girl who mouthed my name and made me feel special. You’ve always been kind to me, taking me seriously when no one else in our grade did. You were the first person to like my photos and you’ve always encouraged me, even though it came at the cost of your own feelings.” He looks at you seriously, “But it shouldn’t. I don’t want to compete against you, Y/N. I want to be on your side.”
“On my side?” you repeat, looking at your intertwined fingers.
“On your side, by your side,” he whispers. “You’re my muse, my first love, first heartbreak. I’d like you to be my last everything too.”
There’s a pause and his chest aches from the silence.
But then he sees it.
Your dimpled cheek.
“So, you had a crush on me since high school?”
He huffs. “That’s what you got from all that?”
You answer with a giggle, dimpled cheeks and very soft lips on his.

HC || Fandoms they were in
This is pretty much just a crack drabble since I am currently attempting to catch up to all of the requests! Thank you for being Patient with me!
Dabi
Tumblr media
This gremlin knows what Homestuck is and can’t stand the fact that he understands the references Toga makes to it. Also possibly one of the few who has actually read homestuck on this list, and won’t hesitate to correct Toga or Shigaraki if they fuck up a fact.
He also really is into The Walking Dead. You can’t tell me that Kurogiri doesn’t have a TV set up somewhere in the bar so he and Shigaraki can sit and watch. This does end up with the majority of the league having a once a week get together where Jin gets Pizza, Toga gets several boxes of soda for them, and Shigaraki sets up everything. 
Denki Kaminari
Tumblr media
This bitch was into homestuck. Like he wasn’t just into homestuck, he was INTO homestuck. Most likely one of those kids that used to jump on Omegle in a shitty cosplay for those homestuck Omegle cosplay meets the fandom used to do. He also totally has a genderbent Nepeta cosplay, a Dave strider cosplay, and a Jake cosplay SOMEWHERE. Most likely to accidentally wear a homestuck shirt to class.
Never once picked up a Harry Potter book or watched the movie, but you know this kid has a hufflepuff robe in his closet and some hufflepuff merch. He doesn’t know shit about the actual canon since he is just there to vibe
Really into Kpop. BTS, Blackpink, ITZY, EXO, Ikon, BlockB, BigBang minus Seungri cause he is icky, SuperJunior, NCT, WINNER, Got7, Red Velvet, (F)x, and more. Like you can’t tell me this guy doesn’t listen to girl groups and shit like BTS. (His bias has to be J-hope) He also bops with Mina the most. These two also most likely post dance covers of the songs to instagram and TikTok, so they have quite the following. (But their best video was their “Boy In love” cover they did with Kirishima, Deku, Shoto,Jirou, Momo, and Bakugo.)
This kid was also into Five nights at Freddy. He owns all of the games and will still play them with the Bakusquad, but he is pretty quiet about this fandom just because of how BULLIED he was for enjoying it. 
LOVES Danganronpa too. Bakusquad do a weekly game night and they all went through all of the games. Let’s just say Denki cried a LOT at the deaths. Like a lot. (He may have a few cosplays of his own too)
Eijiro Kirishima
Tumblr media
Kirishima liked Supernatural just because of how manly Sam and Dean are. Like fuck yeah, he wants a chevy impala too cause it is a beautiful car and wants to know how to protect yourself from shit like demons and angels. He never did much besides watch the show, cry a lot, and try to draw the characters. (Also he had a crush on Dean just cause of how badass and manly he is, but nobody can blame him)
He totally sat and watched Denki play Undertale, so he knows all about it. His favorite character is Undyne and he actually cried when they beat her in Genocide mode cause holy shit dude. That sucked. Oh and Sans. Fuck Sans.
He enjoys Kpop and will listen to it with the Bakusquad. He really admires BTS for how much of an impact they have made not only on his friends, but also the world itself and you can’t tell me that this guy doesn’t think the world of Kim Namjoon. Like he listens to Mono on repeat and is such a big RM fanboy. Also really likes Bigbang (He thinks Daesungs voice is so nice and will sleep to his singing if he could), and Kyungsoo is his favorite in Exo. Cried when Bigbang started coming back from the Military, and cried harder when Kyungsoo had to leave.
Danganronpa is a game he really enjoyed with his friends and will even replay from time to time. He gravitates towards the really manly characters, but some others have spots in his heart. Mondo, Sakura, Gundham, Nekomaru, Kaito, and Gonta were his favorites. Let’s just say the game didn’t treat him well.
Fumikage Tokoyami
Tumblr media
He ended up picking up the Harry Potter books and fell in love with the world itself. You can’t tell me this guy doesn't have a limited edition trunk set of the books hidden in plain sight. Like everyone thinks that the trunk holds something like crystals or some bones or knives but nah. It’s just his Harry potter books. Oh and Midnight totally gave him a Ravenclaw scarf around the holidays. You can’t tell me otherwise.
Death note? Death note. Only to episode 25 though. 25 happened and he just hasn’t continued watching cause it isn’t the fucking same.
Hitoshi Shinsou
Tumblr media
Shinsou liked Supernatural for a while, but he eventually lost interest. He did his best to also never get involved with much of the fandom since it honestly scared him a bit, but his fear didn’t stop him from posting some theories into discussion boards.
He listens to Kpop a bit since he hangs out with Denki a lot and found out he really enjoys Ikon, BlockB, BTS, 
Bitch was in the Creepypasta Fandom. Like not even the good ones, he was into Jeff the killer and Eyeless jack and all of those ones. Sure, he would listen to the others and read the crappy ones, but he had a phase he is mildly ashamed of now.
This kid loves everything relating to Stephen King. He will have conversations with Aizawa and Hizashi about the books, and they all agree that Kings writing can rather be extremely amazing, or be the equivalent of a 13 year old attempting to write smut for the first time. It’s so damn funny to him
Hizashi Yamada
Tumblr media
He has read all of the harry potter books and actually enjoys them quite a bit, but he tries not to let that show too much. He does have a Slytherin lanyard that holds his keys though that Denki had mentioned. It managed to get Mic off track for the class period when he started discussing the books with the students (Mainly Izuku, Tokoyami, and Denki)
He watches The walking dead with Aizawa 
Actually bops to Kpop after the Bakusquad introduces it to him. Massive RM fanboy so he and Kirishima will occasionally go off about how admirable and badass he is. Like RM taught himself english just from watching Friends??? And Hizashi admires that so much. He also loves diving deeper into their lyrics since they normally have such good meanings.
Izuku Midoriya
Tumblr media
Oh he loves Harry potter so damn much. He has the books on his shelf, a Gryffindor robe in his closet, a full uniform, and several wands. He is such a nerd so you can’t tell me he doesn’t have a special notebook that has notes on the spells, character analysis, and a variety of different facts.
Really enjoys listening to BTS! He doesn’t know much about other kpop groups, but he really enjoys dancing with Mina and Denki (even if Izuku has 2 left feet and struggles with dancing)
Had a Dragonball phase. Like this kid loVEs Dragonball. It’s actually one of the reasons why he and Katsuki grew to be friends since they both watched the show. They would talk about how they would beat Frieza or the Ginyu squad all of the time.
Katsuki Bakugo
Tumblr media
This bastard finds himself actually enjoying Kpop after Mina and Denki go off about their favorite bands, and he really finds himself enjoying BTS, Day6, and SHINee. 
Danganronpa was a game he experienced with his friends and FUCK was it an adventure for him. He got really invested with the story and for a while, the Bakusquad chat was active as hell because of all of the theories he had. He fucking HATED Byakuya, actually shed some tears for Fuyuhikos’ character development and Gundhams death, and was about to throw hands during the 4th chapter of V3. It was a Rollercoaster of emotions, but he loved every moment of it.
This kid had a Dragonball Z phase. No shit he would wake up, watch an episode of Goku screaming, and then go out to play. Honestly this routine started when he was 5 and he will still occasionally watch it. He still loves Dragonball, and he totally has a collection of dragonballs somewhere.
After Shoto and Momo watch Rupauls Drag race in the Common room, He gets hooked. His dad is a fashion designer, so he finds himself really enjoying the fashion aspect of the show as well as the makeup part of it all. He actually does Minas’ makeup occasionally and once people start finding out, he becomes their makeup artist. The girls makeup, and occasionally he will do drag makeup on the guys if they ask. Sometimes the Drag viewing parties start by Bakugo doing everyones makeup and then ordering Pizza.
Mina Ashido
Tumblr media
Mina fucking loves to dance and everybody knows that, so it’s no surprise that she manages to nail every damn Kpop she does. She really loves the variety of dances and she can match every vibe. A dance in heels? Shes got it. Hip hop? Oh hell yeah. Cute? Sure! Badass? Shes got this. She is really just a bop.
Danganronpa was an EXPERIENCE for her. She absolutely adored the cases that needed to be solved, cried at the characters, and adored the game. She totally cosplayed Tsumugi with Cospox once or twice with Denki just for giggles sake.
Totally was heads over heels for Ouran Highschool Host club. She thought the anime was so damn precious (She adores Hikaru) and was so sad that there hasn’t been a 2nd season, so she bought all of the manga.
Momo Yaoyorozu
Tumblr media
She is a Kpop fan! She totally could be an idol since she can sing pretty well, has the face for it, can dance pretty well! Her favorite thing is rapping though. You can’t say that Momo wouldn’t be able to write some bad bitch raps and pull them off with ease. With her, Mina, Jirou, and Ochaco, they make one HELL of a Girl Group. They love to do covers of Blackpink, Red Velvet, CherryBullet, ITZY, and Mamamoo covers. Her biases have to be Jennie, Irene and Moonbyul.
Tamaki Amajiki
Tumblr media
Flipped through homestuck when it started, really never got into it but admired the work people put into their cosplays. Knows basic character names and that buckets should be feared.
He actually used to really like My little Pony! He would NEVER call himself a brony, but he really enjoyed the show. He only watched a couple of seasons, but the show itself was pretty relaxing and managed to calm him down when he was feeling anxious. If anybody ever knew he had a my little pony phase though (And still actually will watch it from time to time) he might just die from embarrassment.
Want to play Legend of Zelda? Well Tamaki is your guy to talk to about it. He might start rambling and will completely forget about his anxiety for a moment before realizing how nerdy he sounds. He has a gamecube in his dorm to play Twilight princess and Ocarina of time, He has a Wii for Skyward sword, and god did this kid lock himself in his room when breath of the wild came out. He can speedrun it like none other (Seriously, if he let’s you watch him, you will be fucking surprised by how amazing he is.)
Gotta throw in Teen Titans. Seeing Beast boy use his power in so many badass ways gave him some pretty cool ideas for his own quirk.
Oh and Rupauls Drag race. Nobody would expect him to be a fan of drag race, but he actually does enjoy watching the goofy drama. If you’re dating, you better expect weekly Drag race with him. It’s pretty funny to watch him enjoy the show. Sometimes he gasps, laughs or bites his lip, eyes hooked to the screen.
Shoto Todoroki
Tumblr media
Another motherfucker who could EASILY be an Idol if he wanted to be. He actually really enjoys Kpop after Momo introduced it to him. They both often bop to it together when they study or hang out. He is also most likely to be the one recording the dancing videos or editing them too since he really enjoys helping out the girls. 
Want to watch him nerd out? Watch the classic Godzilla movies with him. Like HOLY SHIT does this man love the 50s-70s Godzilla movies. Bring him a box set and he will rather hug you really tight or run to grab blankets from his room cause this dude ADORES these movies. (Especially the mothra one. Like he will cling to you, thank you over and over again, and watch them with almost childlike glee.)
This bitch bops with Rupauls Drag race. He really enjoys makeup and has debated on trying drag himself (Not that anybody would know that) but it’s kind of shocking to see that he is the one that started the Weekly Rupauls Drag Race viewing in the UA Dorms. 
Yugi Aoyama
Tumblr media
His mother used to read Harry Potter to him to help him sleep when he was a child so he naturally knows a lot about it. He knows he is a Slytherin and when Izuku thought about it, it made sense. He is pretty arrogant and wants to impress with his upbringing and french lineage. He also makes it pretty hard to get to know him personally, so Izuku makes a note that he is a Slytherin.
Likes Kpop, but isn’t SUPER into it like Denki or Mina. He likes listening to BTS and Exo and his Biases are Seokjin and Chanyeol.

🌈 Idol!You slipping your number to BlackPink:
Jisoo
being a soloist in times of awards is never easy
you always sit alone and wait for someone to come over to talk 
or that some idol you already have a friendship with sat close to you
this time, you were far away from all your friends
but you were sitting close to BlackPink
and you couldn't take your eyes off Jisoo 
not even when they announced that you had been the winner in a nomination
when you came back to the table, Jisoo called you
"congratulations! i was rooting for you!", she said, cutely
after those words, she invited you to sit with the group 
and you got into a lively conversation, danced and sang during the following performances and even gossiped about some other idols
when the event was coming to an end, you managed to get a pen and napkin with a waiter
wrote your phone number on the napkin and slid it to Jisoo
she kept the napkin until she got home, as if it was worth gold 
and for her, it was
she thought you were so kind and funny
she would make sure you’d always be in thouch, hoping your relationship would grow
Tumblr media
Jennie
magazine covers were becoming commonplace for you
but for the first time since your amazing debut, you would share the cover with another idol
but not any idol
it was your idol crush
Kim Jennie
you waited so long to be able to come face to face with her that when it really happened, you were absurdly delighted with her beauty and personality
the photo shoot went well
you should do some poses together
sometimes you even held hands 
or had to be facing each other very closely
after a while taking pictures, they let you take a break
you both took the opportunity to have a snack and chat
when it was time for you to come back in new clothes and new hairstyles, you took a few seconds to appear
at the end of the photo shoot, when Jennie got home, she found a paper in her purse
"if you want to call me, here's my number. i think we match a lot to be together just in a photo shoot, don't you think?"
she found it different and interesting, so she texted you right away
"certainly"
Tumblr media
Rosé
being a presenter at a variety show gave you the opportunity to meet different idols and different groups, every day
this routine could be a bit tiring
you appeared on programs at the time that you were not promoting your new singles or albums
but it was worth it
especially today
when you received BlackPink as your guests, you were fascinated by Rosé
for a moment, you wondered if viewers would be able to notice it through the cameras
your eyes were fixed on her
when there was a pause in the recording, you took the chance to give her her phone number
she was eating with the other girls 
so you just said hello and slid the little piece of paper over to Rosé
putting a finger on your own lips, indicating that it was a secret
noticed a big blush on her cheeks
left the room as if nothing had happened
your cell phone vibrated in your pocket
she was that fast?
"hey, it's me. don't worry, this will be our secret"
Tumblr media
Lisa
since you started mentoring Youth With You, you became interested in Lisa
her aura was incredible and her presence called attention 
(not only because she was BlackPink’s Lisa, but for being a person who attracted all eyes wherever she went)
you showed interest in her inside and outside the program
there was never any embarrassment on your part
one day you took the greatest courage
to be honest, it was about time
the cameras were on but as long as you wrote in your notebook, everything would seem related to the program participants
so...
 you wrote your number at the bottom of the page and tore the piece of paper
Lisa was by your side and you simply slid it towards her
discreetly, of course
she took it, pretending to be doing nothing and kept it in her pocket
as soon as the cameras were turned off, she turned to you
"i really hope you are aware that i will disturb you every day”, she said
"you have complete freedom to do this", you replied, anxious
Lisa took her cell phone and started typing down your number
she couldn't wait to see where this would go

Warnings: long-ass intro/set-up before Bobby is introduced; mentions of polytheism; profanity 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
You stare down at the personal time bomb that’s permanently tattooed along your arm. No matter how hard you increasingly stare at it, the time continues to go down—second by second. You already seem to have begrudgingly admitted your fate as you lay your head in between your history textbook. 
You’re doomed. Today’s the day. You’re going to meet your soulmate and it doesn’t seem like the gods were willing to push it back any further. 
In another world, you would’ve chosen a life without a soulmate bond. You’re happy with the way you’re life is going now. Things are just settling. You’ve finally gotten your own apartment; you have a stable paycheck and you’re actually able to study what interests you. You might be research soulmates, but you weren’t supposed to worry about meeting your new soulmate for another five years. So, why did no one out of nowhere have to invade your life now? 
Too preoccupied with your misery, you don’t notice the little chime from the library’s cafe door. Momo enters, looking past the bookshelves and tables for you—her ankle boots quickly clack on the polished wooden floors as she makes her way through. 
She spots you in the corner and walks over, dropping her books on the table. “There you are,” she says. “Sit up, you look like you’re dying.” She takes the seat in front of you, taking in the depression cloud that hovers over your head. “You know, you’re in a public space. You could at least have a nervous breakdown at home, like a normal person.” 
You groan. “You don’t even know the half of  it.” 
“Okay, try me. What happened?” 
You simply lay out your arm out, displaying the little numbers counting down. 
“You’re meeting your soulmate today? That’s great! I thought you had, like, what? Four—or was it five? Five years, right?” 
You finally look at her. “It was five years. But, for some odd reason, the time jumped when I made the decision to meet you and Jeongyeon.” 
Momo grins at you. “I’m glad I don’t have to deal with that anymore. I think the anxiety would have killed me.” 
“Let’s just move on. Did you order anything yet?” 
“No, not yet. I’ll go now, since I know you’re not actually dying.” Momo flashes another smile at you, before leaving the table to head towards the counter. 
Meanwhile, you sit yourself up and clear the table of your previous set-up. It’s fine—everything’s fine. You’ll just focus on what you’re here for in the first place. You pull out your phone for the recording, as well as a notebook and several colored pens. Once Jeongyeon arrives at noon, you can officially start the interview process. Your research is more centered on abnormal soulmate bonds, but you still need normal couples to compare to—Momo and Jeongyeon are the most normal of couples you happen to know. 
You take the last sip of your tea and glance around. The library cafe is supposed to be another study area for university students, but it seems like it’s been overtaken by couples. The open windows allow a bizarre amount of sunlight to pour onto the lovey-dovey atmosphere. Empty cups and plates rest on the occupied tables, and everyone’s eyes sparkle as they look into their sweetheart’s eyes, clearly too invested in whatever the hell they’re talking about. Love: what a gross concept.
Momo comes back, with two coffees in hand and Jeongyeon right behind her. They both settle themselves in the seats facing you, setting down their bags and taking off their jackets. 
“Geez, (Y/N),” Jeongyeon says. “Try not to look too disgusted.” 
“I can’t help what I feel.” 
“Go easy on her,” Momo says. “She’s a bit moodier than usual.” 
“Oh?” Jeongyeon turns to you with wide eyes. “Why’s that?” 
You visibly grimace, practically retreating back into your shell. Momo chuckles, before answering for you. “(Y/N)’s soulmate meeting is happening today.” 
“That’s exciting!” 
You let out a laugh, but it’s one of disbelief and slight dread. “No, Jeongyeon. It’s not.” 
“Why are you even studying soulmates if you hate them so much?” 
“To prove my point.” 
“Which is?” 
“That love is absolute bullshit,” you say. “Even with the gods involved. You know that divorce rates haven’t entirely diminished, right? My research proves that at least three percent of soulmate bonds don’t actually work out. Seventy percent of soulmates may have succeeded, but ten percent have the possibility of getting reassigned.” 
“Yup,” Momo says. “That’s our lil’ ray of sunshine.” Her eyebrows furrow, realizing something. “Isn’t this, like, a conflict of interest? You know, since you and Jisoo ended up splitting—” 
“Nope.” You cut her off, refusing to let her bring up that painful memory. “Nope, none at all.” 
Momo gives her a pointed look. 
“Drink your coffee,” you say to her. You focus your attention elsewhere. You clear your throat, in hopes of moving away from the topic of your first-soulmate rejection. Luckily, the Jisoo incident happened before Jeongyeon joined your little friend group as Momo’s soulmate, but it doesn’t hurt any less because you don’t bring it up often. 
You try not to think about Jisoo often, especially since you were basically kids when you’d first met. You don’t think about how you felt when you first saw her on the kickball field in the fourth grade, or how the wind danced with her hair and the light sparkled against her skin. You don’t remember how bright Jisoo’s smile was when you first looked at each other. You don’t think about you practically spent your entire childhood together—up until sophomore year. 
You don’t think about how much pain you felt when someone—who you were supposed to be with for the rest of your life—suddenly left you because the gods decided you were no longer meant to be together. You don’t think about how shocked you were when Jisoo dropped their relationship so quickly once her timer reset. You don’t think about how angry you still are whenever you see those stupid teenage soulmate bondings in front of your face, as if the gods are rubbing salt into your wounds. 
You don’t think about how Jisoo and stupid Junmyeon got together a bit too quickly, especially when you two had only broken up a week ago. You don’t think about how they were practically showcasing their relationship all throughout the rest of high school. You don’t think about how they’re probably married now, living in some generic neighborhood with their stupid kids and stupid minivan. 
Nope, you don’t think about it at all. 
Your fists clench, nearly snapping the pen in your hand. Momo sips on her coffee. 
Jeongyeon glances between you two before speaking up. “So, why are we here? I think our soulmate bonding went just fine.” 
You try to refocus, racking your brain for the right words. “From what I remember, you didn’t have some corny Nicholas Sparks designed meeting. Plus, I’ve known Momo since middle school, so I can ask whatever I want to get the data I need.” 
Jeongyeon hums in agreement. Then, she leans towards you with a particular look in her eyes. “You know, there’s conspiracy theories that the government is behind all of this. They all probably drugged our water and all of this is an illusion.” 
“What are you talking about?” 
“The theories. There’s one that says pollution is to blame. All those harmful chemicals that are up in the air, went into our water, and it’s causing us to hallucinate. The government is using this to cover it up.” 
Momo rolls her eyes. “Yeonnie, you think the government’s involved with everything.” 
Jeongyeon turns her body towards Momo. “We’re in the presence of an expert—” 
“Grad student.” 
“—we might as well confirm it.” 
“First of all,” you say. “That’s not how this works.” You pause, placing a hand under your chin and the other to twirl your pen. “You two experienced it first-hand, shouldn’t you understand how this works better than I do?” 
“Our first exchange was rather generic,” Momo says. “Someone else introduced us. The first words Jeongyeon said to me was literally ‘what up my guy.’” 
To prove her point further, she shows the words inscribed on her wrist—written in perfect little cursive, alongside a blank timer that’s clean of numbers in line. 
“We met in high school,” Jeongyeon says. “You should’ve known there was gonna be a stupid line on there. It’s not like yours was any better. Do you think I enjoyed having the words ‘I’m sorry, what?” on my wrist?” 
“I needed you to repeat the words! I didn’t actually think you’d be my soulmate.” 
“Didn’t you hear the chimes, bells—whatever you call them—when I said it? Or the little tingle from your arm?” 
“Well, I did. But I needed to confirm it. At least, that’s what I was thinking at the time.” 
“You know,” you say. “The whole point of the chimes and the timer tingle, as you called it, is for you to know that that person is your soulmate. The research time assumes the gods made that modification, after the fraud crimes started to go up around the first generation of the soulmate bonds.” 
“That was a thing?” Jeongyeon asks. 
You nod. “That—that was actually a thing.” 
“Wait, (Y/N),” Momo says. “You got a new phrase! What does yours say now?” 
The couple stare at you, but you move your arms underneath the table and turn away. In hopes that they wouldn’t be able to hear you, you mutter under your breath. “It says, ‘oh shit.’” 
Unfortunately for you, Jeongyeon picks up on it. “Oh shit?” 
You nod slowly, feeling yourself sink into your seat, and reconfirming her words. “It says ‘oh shit.’” 
“Oh,” Momo says. “Shit.” 
You sigh. 
“I’m sure it’s not as bad as it seems,” Jeongyeon says. 
“Yeah,” Momo says. “Maybe the gods have something special planned for you, especially since they kind of screwed you over the first time.” 
You lean back against your chair, your arms wrapping themselves around you tighter. “Let’s just focus back on you two. After this, I just need to go home and stay home. If I’m lucky, nothing will happen and the time will change back to five years.” 
Tumblr media
Your plans to hole yourself in at home are officially ruined. 
After the official interview session, Momo and Jeongyeon were planning on going to the farmers market. However, Jeongyeon had forgotten she’d already made plans with an old friend of hers—something about an engagement and party planning—which is how Momo successfully ropes you into coming with her instead. 
“Come on, (Y/N),” Momo says. “They probably have some of those fruits that you like. You don’t even need to worry about meeting your soulmate yet. You have time.” 
So, here you are at the farmers market in front of a grape stand. Momo stands over each bundle, inspecting each bunch carefully. Meanwhile, you’re just there, next to her, smiling awkwardly at the lady on the other side of the time from time to time. 
For a while, you stand there in silence, but then you finally ask her. “Do I really need to be here?” 
“Yes, I’m not like you,” Momo says. “I can’t be alone for a long period of time.” 
“You were probably going to be here for a couple of hours max.” 
“Still. I don’t like being out alone. You should know this by now.” 
“Gods bless for Jeongyeon.” 
“Speaking of which,” Momo says, trying to be cautious with her words. “I don’t think you have to worry about your new soulmate.” 
“Momo, I really don’t want to talk about this.”
“I know you don’t. But, this could be good for you. You haven’t been the same since Jisoo left and I know you’re still hurt, but it happened in sophomore year. You need to move on...maybe that’s why you’re meeting your new soulmate today.” 
“That can still change.” 
“I don’t think you should get your hopes up. It’s been years since Jisoo. Face the facts: this is happening today.” 
You sigh, knowing Momo isn’t going to let go of the subject. “Well, I still think this whole scheme is bullshit.” You pick at the stems of some of grapes in arm’s reach. “The gods should have left me alone after deciding to pair off Jisoo and Junmyeon together.” 
“They’re able to find their happiness. You have the right to find yours too.” Momo stands back up, facing you. “All of this.” She gestures towards your face. “Is more of a reason to push it.” 
“But, why?” 
“Well, you know what they say.” 
“No, I don’t.” 
“‘The best way to get over someone is to get under someone else.’” 
Tumblr media
Momo’s car rolls up in front of your apartment complex. After putting it into park and turning on her blinkers, she looks at you, but you’re already unbuckling yourself from the car seat. 
“Have a fun night in with Coconut.” 
“Oh, I plan to. And, please let Jeongyeon know I said thanks again for today.” 
“Of course.” 
With that said, you get out of the car and slam the door shut, ready to wrap yourself in a soft blanket and cuddle with your cat. You’re able to head into the building, only to hear Momo shout from her car window. “Hey! Wait!” 
You turn around. “What?” 
“Keep me updated on the soulmate thing! Let me know how it goes.” 
“Alright, bye.” 
“Bye!” 
With a wave, you watch Momo’s care drive off. You take notice of a familiar car that rolls up to the building. Gods, it’s your neighbor from across the hall. He has never personally disturbed you, but it wouldn’t hurt anyone if he learned how to properly park his car, play his music at a more appropriate volume, or have less house parties on weeknights. You understand that he’s a more social person, at least more social than you, but still. 
What’s his name again? It starts with a B... Brian? Billy? Bob? It’s Bobby! You vaguely remember seeing it on his mailbox. You really should make an effort to know your neighbors better. Someone could be a serial killer and you wouldn’t even know it. You shake your head, taking yourself out of your thoughts. 
You enter the building swiftly, in hopes of avoiding Bobby. You walk through the lobby and into the elevator, pressing the button for the sixth floor. As the doors start to close, a hand comes between the doors and you have to suppress a groan. 
Bobby’s face pops in with an apologetic smile, but it doesn’t stop you from giving him a couple of choice words in your head. You look away from him, trying not to make eye contact. 
Despite being neighbors, you don’t talk to one another. Granted, it’s normal since it’s only been a couple of months since you’ve officially moved in. But, you can’t seem to recall if you’ve actually spoken to him. There’s been the polite smiles, nods, and the occasional waves (and some secret glares you give him from previously mentioned disturbances), but never an actual greeting. 
Although, you have heard things. It’s not that you mean to eavesdrop—it just happens. The rooms are close enough and the walls are fairly thin; eavesdropping was bound to occur. One night, you were organizing your data from the previous week, you had overheard one of Bobby’s friends (Junhoe, maybe?) laughing his ass off from across the hall. Long story short, whenever he meets his soulmate, they won’t be thrilled to meet him. 
You couldn’t help yourself from glancing down at his arm. It’s fully covered by his shirt’s sleeve, yet the wrist exposes his partner’s oh-so special words: you need to get the fuck off of me. You almost laugh aloud just thinking about it, but you suppress it by biting on your lower lip and focus on the elevator’s floor. 
Yeah, he could play his music a bit quieter and learn how to wear less cologne, but you can’t help but feel sorry for the poor guy. You can only imagine what would happen for those words to be uttered. 
The elevator stops at the sixth floor and the both of you get off—footsteps matching one another’s. You remain silent as you both make your way to the end of the hall. With another polite smile exchanged to one another, you unlock your door and step into your respective home. 
Once you shut the front door, you’re greeted by Coconut. You can’t help but coo at the little ball of white fur that walks between your legs, rubbing his head on your ankles with a soft purr. 
“Hi baby, did you miss me?” You pick him up, hugging him against your chest. “It’s just you and me tonight.” 
You bounce him a bit in your arms, lost in your own world and that’s when you hear it—a strong bass beat plays in the background. Your face contorts—gods, you’re really praying for his soulmate. 
Tumblr media
The bright light of the TV shines against the darkness of your living room—well, at least you and your couch. You sit cross-legged with Coconut lying comfortably on your lap, a blanket on your shoulders, and the remote in hand. You go through the movie selection your Netflix account, before debating whether or not if you should watch something else or just bury yourself underneath your sheets to avoid your up-incoming doom. 
You could binge-watch a random show for the time to go by quicker, or you could take one of your fifty milligram sleeping pills—which Jeongyeon gave you a while back. One of those suckers is enough to knock you out for the next twelve hours. 
If you’re being honest with yourself, you don’t really feel the need to do anything too drastic. You’re prepared to stay in for quite a few days. You’re well-stocked on food and you don’t need to go to the lab until the next week. Also, Coconut doesn’t need to go out, so that means you don’t have to go out. Had you gotten that cute Pomeranian from the shelter instead, you might’ve had to meet your soulmate sooner rather than later. 
You find yourself grimacing once more at the thought of having to meet your new soulmate. If the first one didn’t work out, what’s to stop the second one from doing just the same? Granted, you’ve interviewed a lot of couples and most worked out on the second try. Key term: most. 
There was that one lady who divorced, at least, three of her soulmates. The gods must have given up after the third try, because she ended up dying alone. You should’ve been left along, just like that lady. 
Jisoo is certainly thriving with her new soulmate—you can say whatever you want, but nothing’s stopping you from seeing all the godsforsaken photos on Facebook or Instagram. 
Nope. Nope, you’re not dealing with this. You’ve already covered up the timer with some bandage wrap (who knew that the first aid kit would come in handy) to prevent yourself from looking at it all night. Maybe if you sleep now, the would just reset back to five years. That sounds reasonable...right? 
No one has ever successfully avoided their soulmate. All throughout history, it shows that timers would just reset. You aren’t trying to avoid your soulmate forever—you’re just trying to avoid whoever your soulmate is now. You were fine with waiting for five years, or even ten. What are the gods thinking? You’re not ready for this. You should’ve been given a warning or something: all of this is just giving you a migraine. 
You shut off the TV and move yourself off the couch, despite Coconut’s protesting meows. You move towards the door and the windows, making sure they are securely locked. You might not trying to find your soulmate, but that doesn’t stop the gods from making them coming to you. Shame that there’s nothing you can do about the fire escape; that’s a lost cause. 
As you look out the window, you can easily spot out Bobby once again. What is it about today that you’re seeing him all over the place? He’s dressed in more casual war—compared to when you saw him in the elevator. He’s yelling and laughing with some of his friends in plain sight. 
“I’m meeting my soulmate today!” He yells. “Whatever happens, happens!” 
All of them start to chant like frat boys. “Bar hop! Bar hop! Bar hop!” 
Oh dear gods. 
You move yourself away from the window and go over your mental checklist again. After securing the locks one more time, you walk over to your bedroom and crawl into the full-sized bed, quickly making yourself familiar with your sheets. Coconut follows shortly after, jumping onto the bed and nuzzling his nose towards you. 
Reaching out, you pet him and scratch his chin, then you speak with a soft whisper. “Good night, Coco.” 
Tumblr media
Someone’s in the living room. 
You’re trying to ignore it. 
There’s a crash, followed by a couple of swear words, which is followed by another crash. 
Coconut has woken up, meowing at the closed door that separates you from possibly experiencing life or death. You bury your head further into the pillow. This—this cannot be happening right now. 
You should’ve taken the sleeping pill. 
There’s another crash, followed by heavy footsteps, which are now right outside your bedroom door. 
That’s when you realize: you didn’t lock the bedroom door. That’s it. You’re going to die. 
You swiftly grab your phone from your nightstand and turn it on silent mode, before retreating back underneath the sheets. You can easily call the police if they actually come in, but what if it’s too late? 
You don’t bother poking your head out. Instead you cling onto the comforter and try to quiet down your breathing. Is it a burglar? A thief? Or worse? Could it be
? 
Meanwhile, Coconut moves himself off the bed and towards the corner, already losing interest in the odd noises. You should’ve gotten the dog. 
Your door opens and the footsteps get closer, eventually stopping at the edge of your bed. Your heart drops. What’s this person going to do? 
You grunt from the sudden weight being thrown on top of you. Because for some reason, this fool—this complete stranger—has laid himself on top of you. Well, technically, next to you, but his body is spread out—an arm and a leg lays on top of you. 
The familiar smell of alcohol hits your nose. That’s definitely vodka. 
This idiot is drunk. 
Your curiosity gets the best of you and you end up tugging the comforter down, taking a peek at the intruder. You’re met with the view of Bobby. His bangs dangle down, brushing softly against your forehead. Your eyebrows furrow: this can’t be right. 
He’s slightly sweaty. His skin looks like he’s shimmering. His eyelashes have an almost perfect curl to them. His cheeks are flushed and his mouth is slightly opened, his natural pink lips are parted to let out his breath. Your heart pounds in your chest, flustered from the close proximity. 
You nudge him once.
He doesn’t wake up. 
You push him, nearly shoving him off your bed. He finally awakes, cracking an eye at you, only to shut it again with embarrassment written on his face. 
“Oh, shit,” he says. He laughs at himself. “I’m in the wrong apartment, aren’t I?” 
Your heart stops, feeling the tingle from your arm and the little chimes in your head. Your head spins and you rack your brain, trying to find the words to respond to him. Ironically enough, you can only think of the one phrase you should have been avoiding. “You need to get the fuck off of me.”

MCL HCS BECAUSE I MISS HSL SO BADLY
- armin and castiel have better friendship then it was showed in the game. i think they bonded about emo bands (my chemical romance, falling in reverse, black veil brides, pierce the veil and more), since its kinda obvious that castiel listens to this type of music and as a „weird gamer kid” i can assure you armin does as well
- on the topic of armins music taste he probably had a weird obsession with a kpop gg. since hsl lasted for like 8 years in our time but for the characters it was 1,5 years idk which gg i could give him. so i would say it would be girls’ generation, blackpink or loona, depends on when do we want to place hsl in our time.
- armin and castiel are bisexual, lysander just labels himself as queer and demisexual, kentin is straight and nath also straight but he had his bicurious moment
- on the bi curious nath topic, when he started to get along with armin, he thought he developed a crush on him. but turns out it wasn’t the case he was just never this close with someone so poor guy got confused (i dont blame him tbh)
- armin would say „this one is for u shawty” and the miss the basketball shot
- if we would place hsl in 2020/2021 i think that armin would get all the guys to pkay genshin and they would be totally obsessed about it for a few good months
- i feel like armin and kentin would vape and castiel would make fun of them and call them pussies for not smoking cigarettes (it would be playfully tho)
- kentin is insecure about his height so he would buy doc martens with platforms or would wear those weird platform insoles (im sorry i saw them on tiktok ad last week and i haven’t stopped thinking about them)
- lysander got the „three cheers for sweet revenge” cover on his notebook cover
- also i think lysander would cry to helena by mcr
- i kinda hate to say it but kentin would record and post thirst traps on tiktok
- armin used to have an obsession with mbti
- lysander forgets to reply to the messages and either replies in the middle of the night because he wokes up in cold sweat remembering the unread message or he forgets what he wanted to reply so he just sends monkey gifs

Two Idols
Lisa Manoban x Reader
Part: 1/4
About: Your best friend Jisoo Kim auditions for YG Entertainment. Once she makes it she never messages you again. Your dream in life is also to become a singer and you try to achieve it by using YouTube and uploading covers. You forget how much you miss Jisoo until you see her at an awards ceremony. When you reconnect at the awards, you meet Lisa. (You’re gay in this story)
Jisoo and Y/N lay on Y/N’s talking about their dreams. Both girls, ever since they were young, have wanted to become singers. Jisoo wanted to be a famous pop singer whereas Y/N wanted to write her own songs with her guitar and tour the world.
“My YouTube channel has 1000 subscribers now and the cover of Loser by BIGBANG has gotten nearly 300,000 views. It’s insane.” Y/N said, scrolling through her YouTube on her phone.
“That’s crazy” Jisoo said, laying next to her, watching what she was doing.
When Jisoo and Y/N were young children, they would sing their hearts out on a beaten up kareoke box Jisoo had been given as a birthday present from Y/N. It didn’t sound the best but it provided them with years of entertainment.
“Y/N! Y/N!” Jisoo yelled, running through the school corridor to reach her best friend.
“Look! This morning I saw on YG’s website that they’re holding auditions in Korea in two months. I signed up instantly and I’m waiting on a reply now. I’m scared! It’s YG! Record company of BIG BANG!” Jisoo said, very quickly as she was so excited.
“Jisoo that’s so great!” Y/N squealed with her best friend. “What do you need to do?” Y/N asked. “I’m not sure yet. They’re going to email me soon. They’re holding 1000 auditions so hopefully I’ll be in time.” Jisoo said, nervous already.
That lunch time, Y/N and Jisoo found an empty classroom to brainstorm. “YG emailed me duing third period. Here it is.” Jisoo turned her laptop screen toward Y/N so she could read.
‘Dear Kim Jisoo,
Thank you for your application. We are delighted to inform you that you have an audition at the YG Entertainment Building on the 26th September. To the audition please be prepared with a dance to any song you like, an original song and you’ll be asked to sing a section of a song you won’t have prepared for. We look forward to seeing you.’
Y/N squealed excitedly before getting in her musical zone. “You can help me write the original song because you’re so good at it! Please Y/N?” Jisoo asked hopefully. “Of course I’ll help you. What kind of song do you want it to be?” Y/N asked, getting out her pen and notebook out of her bag to take down ideas. “I was thinking of a love song, with a twist to make it indivial. I want it to show off my vocals.” Jisoo said, thinking intently. Y/N wrote it down quickly as the bell rang for their next and final class of the day. “I’ll think tonight and I’ll let you know what I have tomorrow and we can adapt and add. See ya!” Y/N said before disappearing down the corridor to her next lesson.
That evening, Y/N sat at her computer with her microphone set up, ready to sing if creativity struck. She had scribbled down many words and chord patterns but she was yet to find one she was satisfied with. Y/N nor Jisoo had any experience in love so she was trying to be poetic but she felt it was becoming too cringe, which she didn’t want for Jisoo. Suddenly, a bright idea popped into Y/N’s head and her pen was flying. Words and notes were being written down so fast, the pen wasn’t far from breaking. Y/N began to record what was in her head with her guitar and her own singing voice. ‘I think I have something. Come over if you can’ Y/N text Jisoo, hoping she would come despite it being 11pm. In ten minutes, there was a knock on the door and Jisoo stood there impatiently. Both girls hurried upstairs and Y/N made Jisoo sit and listen to the recording.
“This is incredible Y/N.” Jisoo said, placing the headphones on the table. “We can change it to however you want as it’s only the first demo.” Y/N said, happy with her work for once. “No, no. I want to sing it exactly like this. It’s perfect. The lyrics aren’t too cliche and it’s melodic too. You’re a genius.” Jisoo said. Y/N and Jisoo switched some lyrics around and changed the end but after that, Jisoo was so excited to record she couldn’t wait the next day so at 1am on a very early Saturday morning, Y/N’s room was filled with Jisoo’s honey-like voice.
The sun had risen and it was 7am, but Jisoo and Y/N finally found the perfect take. They were both tired and once they had finished, instantly they laid down and fell asleep.
The next two months went extremely fast. Jisoo sang their song everyday to make sure it was engrained in her head. She had the song on a disc and she had an instrumental version that she could sing along too as she doubted Y/N could come with her to the audition just to play guitar. Jisoo had gotten advice from their schools dance teacher and perfected her dance to a song she loved. The audition day arrived and Y/N was getting ready with Jisoo before she would drive her to audition.
“Don’t wait outside, because I don’t know how long I’ll be or what happens after it. Thank you so much for everything you have done these past two months. With the song and everything too. I can’t believe I’m lucky enough to have someone like you.” Jisoo hugged Y/N before walking into the large glass doors of YG. Y/N felt emotional, and terrified, for Jisoo.
Y/N didn’t hear anything from Jisoo that evening, or the next day, or the next day. She was confused because she had no idea why Jisoo was ignoring her, or where she was. Their friends from school hadn’t heard from her either and Jisoo’s parents refused to answer any of Y/N’s questions. She was lost.
time jump: 2 years later
It had been 2 years since Y/N had last heard from Jisoo. She tried not to think about it too much but it still hurt her. Y/N graduated school, and was spotted by someone from a different record company. She took the deal and started to work on her professional singing and guitar playing. Her dream was finally coming true but her best friend wasn’t there to share it with her.
In the past two years, Y/N had changed a lot. She had finally come to terms with her sexuality and she dressed differently. She acted the same, humble and caring, but she became more confident. Y/N was very happy that her dream was finally beginning to come true, especially as she walked onto a stage where she was about to make her debut as a rising singer.
She gripped the neck of her guitar nervously as a man announced her name. Y/N walked out as confidently as possible and began to play a song she had written long ago, the first original song she ever wrote. Every person at that debut show was going crazy. Phone cameras were out and cheering was heard. Y/N smiled as she had a conversation with the host and gave some simple facts about herself.
When Y/N walked off the stage, she was on a high. Many people approached her and congratulated her as she realised this is what she was born to do.
Jisoo was a trainee at YG Entertainment now. She had met new friends, one being Jennie Kim. She didn’t think about Y/N often, even though she could message her whenever she wanted, she just chose not to because she didn’t want to make Y/N feel bad that she was achieving her dream and Y/N wasn’t. Jisoo felt bad, but it was for the best. At least that’s what she told herself.
“JISOO! We are going to be debuting early! Me, you, Lalisa Manoban and Park Chaeyoung!” Jennie screamed as she ran into their dorm room. Jisoo jumped off her bed and began dancing around with Jennie.
“When?” Jisoo asked.
“5 days from today! We have to begin immediately which is why we have to find Lisa and Chaeyoung. Let’s go!” Jennie dragged Jisoo as they ran through the corridors. Their dreams were starting earlier than they expected!
Jisoo, Lisa, Chaeyoung and Jennie all met in the dance studio where they were immediately thrown into dancing for a song they recorded last week - Whistle. They found the dance hard but at the end of the day they had already completely the first verse.
Y/N was very excited to begin her career. Once people started noticing her, she was busy instantly with promotion of her single and performances on TV shows. She even starred on ‘The Tonight Show’ in the USA, where she announced her first album. She was more than excited to release her first album, but a lot was too be decided. She had to think about the photo book and photo card, the front cover and how she wanted it to sound. Her manager had told her she wouldn’t have long to decide to she sat in a hotel room at a desk, looking through pictures online to give her inspiration. The thought suddenly struck - light and dark. Y/N loved wearing black and it was her favourite shade, and darkness for the photos would be great, and she could have light ones as well. Her songs could be a mixture and she already thought of song ideas that would match. Great!
Jisoo, Jennie, Lisa and Chaeyoung, who had adopted the stage name: RosĂ©, stood backstage as they were prepared for their debut. One by one, they slowly walked out onto the dark stage as their names were called. They were scared and nervous but they had been waiting for this moment almost their whole lives, and the excitement weighed out any other feeling. “BLACKPINK” was the group name chosen. It felt good to have a name and have people soon saying it, Jisoo thought to herself.
The next month was spent releasing music, for both Y/N and BLACKPINK. Jisoo didn’t pay much attention to the media so she didn’t know about Y/N’s rise to fame, but Y/N knew about Jisoo. She saw her with her members on articles and on social media. Jisoo looked happy. Y/N’s album was released a week prior and it had blown up instantly. It hit #1 in Korea, Japan, Thailand, America and China. Everyone knew who she was, except Jisoo. Jisoo really was in her own world when it came to new music.
The Seoul Music Awards arrived, and Y/N was nominated for many awards, those including the Daesang award, Bonsang award, Record of the year and New artist award. She was against BLACKPINK in two of those, the Daesang award and the New artist award. To say she was nervous would be an understatement. Y/N would be performing in front of many other artists like Red Velvet, BTS, and most importantly, BLACKPINK. BLACKPINK weren’t performing but as Y/N was shown around the large venue, she knew exactly where they would be seated.
Jisoo, Lisa, Jennie and RosĂ© took their seats at a large table in the hall, where the awards were about to begin. “Who’s performing today?” Jisoo asked Lisa, who had been raving about the performances at the awards over the past few weeks. “BTS, Hyuna, GOT7 and Y/N.” Lisa said, saying Y/N’s name excitedly. “Y/N?” Jisoo asked, her heart dropping. “Yeah, her new album dropped the other month and it’s blown up. We are against her for the Daesang and New artist award. She’s really good, my girl crush.” Lisa said happily. “Do you have a picture of her?” Jisoo asked nervously. “Of course, she’s my home screen actually.” Lisa chuckled embarrassed. She had been obsessing over Y/N ever since her debut and clearly Jisoo hadn’t paid attention. Lisa showed Jisoo the photo on her home screen and Jisoo’s heart beat faster with nerves. Her old best friend was on the screen, smiling at a crowd with a guitar in hand. “What’s wrong unnie?” Lisa asked, locking her phone and placing it on the table. “She’s my old best friend.” Jisoo said. “I stopped talking to her completely, she probably hates me.” Lisa gasped slightly. Their conversation was interrupted by a large booming voice and the host walking out onto stage. Jisoo wasn’t really focusing as she was looking around for Y/N. Just as she turned to her right, she saw her. She sat on a table with Red Velvet and she was laughing about something with Yeri. Y/N looked more mature in her suit, seemingly made by Gucci by the design of it. Jisoo looked back at the stage, scared Y/N would see her.
The awards went fast, and then the first category Y/N was nominated for appeared. Record of the year. Many other amazing albums were nominated, including Red Velvet’s. Y/N joined hands with Yeri and Irene as they all waited, hoping the best for each other but also themselves.
“The winner for record of the year is, Y/N Y/L/N with her debut album.” Y/N stood up and hugged the members of Red Velvet and shook various hands as she walked up to the stage, a huge grin on her face. She took the award graciously, bowing to the host respectively. Y/N gave a small speech before her time ran out and she went and sat back down, placing her award on the table before it was taken away by her manager for safe keeping.
Y/N won the next two awards she was nominated for, the New artist and the Bonsang award. She beat BLACKPINK in the new artist award and saw them sitting here, her eyes settling on Jisoo as they made uncomfortable eye contact. Backstage, Y/N was preparing for her performance. She had changed and her hair had been restyled. Now she was wearing a casual outfit. She had a large shirt tucked into high waisted shorts as it was hot. Simple but Y/N liked it.
“Now, the performance you’ve all been waiting for, Y/N Y/L/N!” The host announced, disappearing from the stage. Y/N began to play her guitar from the side of the stage as the stage was still dark. It lit up slowly as she walked onto the stage with her guitar, singing happily. It was a joyful pop song that showed off Y/N’s vocals as she played her guitar along with the additional backing track. Everyone was going crazy for her as she sang, the hall being filled with people singing wildly. The whole hall erupted in cheer as Y/N ended on a high note. She walked off the stage humbly and went and sat back down, not before passing her guitar to her manager who took it away. The members of Red Velvet congratulated her as she sat down. The whole hall fell silent as they waited for the Daesang, the most prestigious award, to be announced. “This award has many incredible artists nominated, but we can only have one winner. The winner of the Daesang is...”
Everyone waited. BLACKPINK, Seungri, Y/N, BTS and Hyuna were all nominated. “Y/N Y/L/N.” Y/N’s heart stopped as she sat there shocked. She saw her own face on the screen and realised how crazy she looked. Winning the Daesang was something she didn’t expect this early on in her career. BLACKPINK stood up and clapped and everyone followed. Y/N was still in shock as she walked slowly to get the award.
“Wow, thank you so much for this. Thank you for supporting me and buying my album, and listening to it. I can’t believe anything like this would ever happen to me. Not long ago, I was just someone who went to school and wrote songs in their bedroom, but it’s insane that something like this has happened. I’ll forever be grateful to each and every one of you. Thank you.”
Y/N wiped a tear as she walked off to backstage, ready to be interviewed as BTS closed the event with their fantastic performance of Fake Love. She took pictures with other artists like the members of iKON and the many members of NCT. These people all congratulated her and praised her. She was overwhelmed with emotion.
“Y/N!” Lisa called as the rest of BLACKPINK followed. “BLACKPINK! Hi!” Y/N said, hugging them one by one.
“Hi Jisoo.”
“Hi Y/N, congratulations.” Jisoo said. The uncomfortable silence was filled up by Lisa praising Y/N nervously. Y/N stared right into Lisa’s eyes which made her even more nervous.
“Lisa is a huge fan, you’re her girl crush.” Jisoo said, making things less awkward between them. Lisa slapped Jisoo’s arm as Jennie and RosĂ© laughed. “It’s true. You’re her home screen.” RosĂ© said as Lisa turned a bright red. “That’s so cool.” Y/N said, laughing at how embarrassed Lisa was. Y/N put her arm round Lisa’s shoulder as Lisa looked like she was going to explode. “Do you guys want to come back to my apartment for our after party? There’s an official after party but ours is better and you guys can stay over if you want as with how drunk everyone’s going to be getting, I don’t think anyone wants to go home after that. Red Velvet are staying so you guys can too.” Y/N said. “That would be great.” Jennie said, hugging Y/N. “It’s starting almost now so just get here whenever you want, I’m about to leave to go so just turn up and you’ll be let in. See you later.” Y/N said before walking off to do one last interview before heading home.
“You guys are so embarrassing.” Lisa said. “But, she’s so hot! Jisoo, how could you not have set us up sooner if you’re best friends.”
“I stopped talking to her.” Jisoo said bluntly. Lisa coughed awkwardly as she felt Jisoo was not in the mood to explain why. “Okay, well let’s go to our hotel and get our overnight bags and then head to hers.”
Back at her apartment, Y/N and everyone there was already drinking and celebrating. Many artists and different people related to the music industry were there enjoying themselves. Yeri and Y/N spoke in the corner to each other, the music being so loud they had to yell in each other’s ears. “You look so beautiful tonight.” Y/N said, making Yeri blush. “So do you.” Yeri said in return, making Y/N grin largely. “Thank you.” Y/N said.
The door opened and Blackpink walked in. They had all changed and they held their bags, which were taken and put into a room that was locked. Lisa instantly spotted Y/N in the corner, and looking at her and Yeri made her jealous. “Hey Yeri, I’ll be back. I’m just going to say hello to my friends.” Y/N said. Lisa slapped Jisoo’s arm as Y/N approached.
“You made it!” Y/N exclaimed. She was slightly tipsy already and it was obvious. “Cool party Y/N.” Jennie said, taking the drink Y/N was offering. “Jisoo, can I talk to you?” Y/N asked. Jisoo nodded nervously as Y/N took her over to the corner privately. “I don’t want things to be awkward. I’m sure you had your reasons for not talking to me and I’m just glad we can reconnect again.” Y/N said, seriously. Even though she was tipsy, her words were coming from a place of love. “I’m so sorry Y/N. I don’t know what I was thinking. You’re the reason this all happened and I just left. I don’t want things to be awkward either.” Jisoo said. Y/N and Jisoo embraced warmly as they rejoined the other members. Lisa was happier now that Y/N returned.
“Make yourselves at home. Go dance, drink, do what you want!” Y/N exclaimed. Jisoo, RosĂ© and Jennie left to get more drinks but Lisa stayed with Y/N. “You’re pretty.” Y/N said to Lisa, watching the blush creep onto Lisa’s face. Y/N took a liking to Lisa and thought she was so beautiful. Her head was spinning and all she was focusing on was Lisa’s eyes.
Lisa felt her heartbeat speed up. Her favourite celebrity was standing right in front of her complimenting her and she couldn’t believe it. She was starstruck. Lisa had watched Y/N’s interviews and videos and instantly had been drawn to her personality. Now she had the chance to know her due to their careers. It was thrilling. “Let’s dance.” Y/N said, dragging Lisa onto the floor that was cleared to make a dance floor. Lisa was a natural born dancer and Y/N followed her moves. Y/N was watching Lisa intently as her hips swayed to the music. Y/N grabbed Lisa’s hips and pulled her closer. “You’re hot.” Y/N whispered into Lisa’s ear. Lisa again blushed. “So are you.” She whispered back. After this, Lisa needed a drink. She left Y/N to go over to Jennie, who was getting another drink for her, RosĂ©, Jackson Wang and Kai. They were all chatting and drinking in the corner. “I see you’re getting cosy.” Jennie said, passing Lisa a drink. “It’s a dream Jennie. She’s so hot, it’s painful. She’s playing with my heart I swear.” Lisa laughed. She saw Y/N talking to Yeri again and she instantly got jealous. Jennie laughed. “If you stare at Yeri like that any longer she’ll burst into flames. Is Y/N gay?” Jennie asked. “I’m not sure. I’ll ask Jisoo. She keeps calling me hot so I hope so but I don’t know.” Lisa said. What if Y/N wasn’t gay?
“Jisoo unnie! I have a question for you. Is Y/N gay?”
“She is. It was always a secret and she was never happy with herself but I think she’s come to terms with it now. I’m not sure.” Jisoo said.
“Thank you.” Lisa said. She scanned the room to find Y/N. She couldn’t find her until she saw her being pressed against the wall by Yeri. Yeri whispered something in Y/N’s ear which made Y/N smile. Yeri leant into Y/N’s neck and kissed it, which made Y/N smile. Lisa’s eyes narrowed and confidence overtook her. Lisa stomped over to Y/N and Yeri and pulled Y/N’s hand. Yeri stepped back shocked but they barely had anytime to react before Lisa had pulled her away and dragged her across the room. She pressed her against the wall and her eyes were dark and narrow. “Don’t do that.” Lisa said, staring into Y/N’s eyes. “What?” Y/N asked. “Don’t tease me. You know what I’m talking about. Yeri.” “You’re jealous!” “So what if I am?” Lisa asked. Before she knew it, Y/N had leaned forward and kissed Lisa. She grabbed her by the waist and pulled her closer. Lisa’s head was exploding.
The party continued and more people left. Y/N and Lisa were inseparable. Everyone was beginning to sober up by the end and at 2am, the only people left were Red Velvet, Blackpink and Y/N. They sat in the living room, which had been closed off due to the expensive couch and rug. “Thank you for a great night Y/N.” Irene said. “We better be off to bed. We have a show tomorrow night.” Irene, being the leader, made sure her members were not tired for their performances. “Goodnight guys.” Y/N said as they all left. Yeri, Irene and Seugli were in one room, and Joy and Wendy in another.
“Did you enjoy yourselves?” Y/N asked Blackpink. “It was so fun.” RosĂ© said. “I agree.” Lisa said. “I wonder why you found it so fun.” Jennie teased. Y/N laughed as Lisa turned red, once again. Y/N’s arm was around Lisa so Lisa turned her head into Y/N’s shoulder whilst laughing so the other members couldn’t see her bashful expression. They all laughed at how embarrassed Lisa got. “For rooms, there can be two of you in one, and three in the other, including me. Or, I can go alone and you two can share, and you two.” After much discussion, Jennie and Lisa stayed in one room, Jisoo and RosĂ© stayed in another and Y/N slept in her own room. They all said their goodnights before disappearing to their selective rooms. “You like her a lot don’t you?” Jennie asked Lisa as she left the bathroom, cleaning her teeth. “I do. She’s been my celebrity crush since her debut and knowing her today has just made it worse.” “She seems to like you back though, she kissed you after all.” Jennie said. Lisa smiled at the thought. “Go say goodnight to her. Turn right and three doors down is her room.” Jennie said. Lisa immediately left and followed Jennie’s instruction. Y/N’s door was open and Lisa stood at the door into her room. She had guitars lined up on the wall and a big microphone attached to the wall, with two big computers on a large desk. Her bed was huge and her duvets were white with sheep on it. Cute. Y/N was sitting at her desk with her back to the door strumming her guitar softly. Lisa knocked lightly and Y/N span around in her chair. “Hey, is everything okay?” Y/N asked. Lisa walked into her room and sat on her bed. “I just came to say goodnight, and to thank you again.” Lisa said. Y/N put her guitar back against the wall and sat next to Lisa on her bed. “It’s okay. I’m glad you enjoyed it.” Y/N said, staring into Lisa’s eyes. “It was fun. I’ve never been to a party like that before.” Lisa said.
“Like what?” Y/N laughed.
“I’m not sure, but it was different. Everyone was more relaxed. It was good.” Lisa said.
Lisa and Y/N shared a moment of silence before they leant in slowly and kissed. Y/N held the side of Lisa’s face as they deepened the kiss. “I should go sleep.” Lisa whispered once they’d pulled away. “Yeah, you should.” Y/N said. Lisa slowly moved away and walked out the door, Y/N watching her as she walked out. Lisa ran down the corridor and burst into the room she was sharing with Jennie. Jennie was laying in bed ready to sleep. Lisa jumped in beside bed and screamed into her pillow. “She kissed you didn’t she?” Jennie said. “Yes.” Lisa breathed. “Told you she liked you back.” Jennie said. Lisa just smiled as she turned off the lamp.
